Chapter 420 The Crystal Corpse Is Even More Strange
Although the blow just now was strong, it was not enough to hurt his internal organs, it was just numb and sore.
"Hehe, as expected, this corpse has no internal organs, only a shell, not a living person..."
Li Ang stood up unsteadily, looked down at the monster in the coffin, narrowed his eyes, and his pupils narrowed into needlepoints, "It turned out to be a dragon?"
Jiaolong, as the name suggests, is a sub-dragon species with a dragon Bloodline, a docile temperament, and a smaller body.
The sub-dragon species is a kind of intelligent race. Their basic characteristics are: they are relatively large in size and have a slender tail at the end.
The usual length of Jiaolong is about 2.5 meters, which is slightly longer than that of ordinary lizards.
This dragon corpse was nearly 7 meters long, with silvery scales, and a huge three-meter-long tail was dragged from its tail, which swung endlessly like an iron whip, making the sound of howling wind.
This corpse is indeed the legendary flood dragon, only because its body has decayed and dried up long ago, leaving only a pale and stiff skin.
In Li Ang's eyes, the Jiaolong's size is quite bluffing. After all, it is a genuine sub-dragon species. It is rare in today's world, but it is far inferior to the real dragon in "Shan Hai Jing".
"This corpse probably has a history of Hundred Years."
Li Ang whispered to himself, and glanced at the girl who didn't know when she woke up out of the corner of her eye, "She should have heard about the ancient tomb in Heishanzhai, so she stumbled in by mistake.
It seems that she is the legendary sacrifice. "
The girl sat on the spot, staring intently at the coffin, her eyes shining with a strong desire to survive.
"Can you...can you help me save me?" the girl asked tremblingly.
"Of course, don't worry, just leave it to me."
Li Ang took out a piece of yellow talisman paper and pasted it on the surface of the coffin, then inserted the dagger at his waist, stretched out his hand to press the coffin board, and pushed the corpse into the tomb.
"Boom—"
A dull roar suddenly exploded, the lid of the coffin was slowly opened, and an unpleasant stench came out, almost making people faint.
Li Ang walked in, clutching his mouth and nose, and found that the corpse in the coffin remained kneeling, with all limbs and head intact. The body emitted light blue fluorescence, which contrasted nicely with the crystal coffin outside the coffin.
The girl ran in behind and watched Li Ang's actions in surprise.
Li Ang looked around, but found nothing, only a pile of messy parts in the center of the coffin.
He stepped forward and picked up an ax with a simple shape. The blade of the ax was corroded, and the body of the ax was covered with mottled cracks, making it look very fragile.
The parts in several other places were strange contraptions and equipment, including an oddly shaped piccolo, an oil lamp, two metal discs, and an odd metal box.
"What is this metal box for?"
Li Ang looked at it curiously, and handed the metal box to the girl, "Do you know this thing?"
"This is……"
The girl hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's the priest's badge on the sacrificial altar, it's only used during the sacrificial ceremony..."
"How do you know?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Is this guy a priest?"
The girl nodded.
"You still understand this?" Li Ang asked in surprise, "Not bad."
"I don't know why." The girl frowned slightly, "Maybe I learned it from my father... I am very interested in these ancient characters."
"Oh yes."
Li Ang suddenly realized that a girl with a noble status and a good father who is well-read, it is normal to be interested in Chinese civilization.
However, this little girl is already qualified to inherit wealth at a young age, but she is willing to remain anonymous and live in obscurity in a rural teacher's family, which is really strange.
Perhaps, this is the sorrow of poor and lowly couples.
Thinking of this, Li Ang smiled and shook his head, "Let's put it away first.
I estimate that this corpse died not long ago, or not for a long time, otherwise it would never be suppressed for Thousand Years based on its strength, and it is still undamaged. "
"Mmm...thank you."
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, took the metal box from Li Ang, and hid it in her sleeve.
"How did you become so powerful all of a sudden?" She looked at Li Ang, her eyes shining like a star, "This corpse has at least 500 years of lifespan, you killed such a dragon, and you didn't get hurt?"
"This corpse was left on purpose by me."
Li Ang chuckled, "If I'm guessing right, there are some kind of Restrictions in this tomb. Unless I resurrect the owner of the tomb, no one can get in, and they can't even touch it."
"I see." The girl nodded half understanding, "What is this corpse?"
Li Ang pointed to the bottom of the coffin, "Here, look, this corpse is full of treasures, but unfortunately, I can't take it away."
The girl looked in the direction of Li Ang's finger, and suddenly found that the bottom of the coffin was covered with thick layers of ice, and inside lay a black snake-shaped skeleton about 20 centimeters long.
"Hiss~ hiss~"
The surface of the skeleton is covered with a layer of fine scales, a long black lacquered rope is wrapped around the head and neck, and a bronze-colored skull necklace is hung between the two ribs, with two huge rubies inlaid on it.
Because the corpse had been soaked in water for Thousand Years, the bones were jet-black, exuding a mysterious and spooky atmosphere, which made people shudder.
The girl couldn't help shivering, and moved closer to Li Ang subconsciously.
Li Ang patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, don't be afraid. This dragon is a cursed zombie and it's not dangerous."
He knelt down and carefully inspected the dragon's bones, and finally confirmed that the dragon was indeed dead.
Li Ang took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.
"Shuh."
He grabbed Jiaolong's leg and pulled it lightly.
"boom!"
The dragon's corpse crashed to the ground, breaking into a pile of debris.
The girl was startled, and was about to remind Li Ang not to break the corpse, but found that he didn't even splash a little dust.
Li Ang walked to the side of the Jiaolong skeleton, carefully observed the huge monster, and said in admiration, "Is this a Jiaolong? It looks like a crocodile."
"Is this called Jiaolong?"
The girl couldn't help but said: "It has skeletons all over its body, how does it look like a dragon?"
"Uh... I can't refute this sentence."
Li Ang scratched his head, "Anyway, it's a complete skeleton, so it's a dragon, right?"
"No, it has no claws, let alone wings."
The girl explained: "And its whole body is sealed by chains, and the surface of its body is covered with various formations. It doesn't look like a ferocious beast."
"No matter what it is, it is a dragon anyway, and it is still a cursed dragon. It can only lie here obediently, waiting for the sacrificer to slaughter."
Li Ang shrugged his shoulders, took out a dagger from his pocket, and cut a few inches along the surface of the dragon's skeleton, revealing the tough black scales inside.
