The two of them continued marching forward along that golden forest for about half a day, the terrain beneath their feet gradually beginning to rise, and the surrounding environment transforming from an expansive plain into a rugged hilly terrain.
Just as they climbed over a not-too-high hill, Tang Wulin's footsteps suddenly came to a halt.
Wu Feng almost bumped straight into his back; she hurriedly steadied her footing, peered forward with some confusion, and then froze entirely.
She saw that the ground ahead suddenly collapsed downward, forming a massive and deep depressed area shaped into a giant circle; rather than a valley, it looked more like a boundless basin of which one could not see the end.
Visually estimating, the depth of this basin was at least over a thousand meters.
Tang Wulin stood at the edge of the basin, gazing downward, and discovered that the bottom of the basin was actually paved with massive bones. Every single bone exuded an ancient, profound aura, as though silently recounting just how powerful and glorious their former owners had been.
Standing at the edge of the basin, Tang Wulin swept his gaze across those overwhelming dragon bones, and an indescribable sorrow suddenly welled up in his heart.
Flowing within Tang Wulin's body were the Bloodlines of both the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, while the dragon bones before his eyes shared the same origin as him. Tang Wulin's emotions were affected by these dragon bones, and that feeling of sorrow quickly filled Tang Wulin's inner heart.
Standing beside Tang Wulin, Wu Feng noticed the change in his expression at this moment.
Although Wu Feng's Spirit was also a Dragon, the dragon Bloodline within her body was far from being as pure and rich as Tang Wulin's, so she could not achieve a true resonance with these dragon bones the way Tang Wulin could.
Right at this moment, Tang Wulin suddenly raised his head and let out a dragon roar.
After this dragon roar was emitted, a low dragon roar likewise came from within the basin, and not just a single one. Wu Feng was completely frozen—were these dragon bones responding to Tang Wulin?
After quite a while, Tang Wulin slowly withdrew his gaze, then turned around to look at Wu Feng and spoke.
"Wu Feng, I want to go and bury these exposed dragon bones."
Before entering this Dragon Valley, Tang Wulin had once buried corpses for the deceased of a village, and now it could be considered continuing to do so.
"My achievements today are inseparable from this Bloodline of mine. This Bloodline has helped me walk all the way to today."
Tang Wulin was quite clear on this point. After all, if he had only relied on his own Spirit, Blue Silver Grass, then he would definitely have had no way to reach today. Although Blue Silver Grass was Tang Wulin's Spirit, when Tang Wulin fought, the thing he used the most was still the Bloodline Power of the Golden Dragon King.
"My Bloodline is also telling me that they should not end up with the fate of being exposed in the wilderness like this."
After hearing Tang Wulin's words, Wu Feng gave him a somewhat shocked look. One had to know that the number of dragon bones in this basin could be said to be quite large, making it a massive project. Although the flow of time inside Dragon Valley was different from the outside, this also meant that a huge amount of time would need to be spent.
Of course, upon seeing Tang Wulin's serious gaze, Wu Feng did not choose to dissuade him; instead, she spoke up.
"I have also received the favor of the dragon clouds here, and my Bloodline has also been enhanced. Therefore, both out of reason and emotion, I cannot let them be exposed in the wilderness either. Please let me help as well."
Wu Feng did not have a shred of reluctance in saying these words. After all, the fact that she had received favors was true, so naturally she could not be that kind of cold-blooded and merciless person.
Hearing this, Tang Wulin turned his head to look at Wu Feng, a trace of a smile flashing in his eyes. Then he smiled and spoke.
"Alright, then let's work hard together."
After Tang Wulin finished speaking, he took the lead and walked toward the edge of the basin. He did not choose to slowly climb down along the rock wall, but directly leaped forward, jumping down toward that thousand-meter-deep valley floor!
Seeing this scene, Wu Feng's eyes went straight. This fellow was still so fierce.
In Wu Feng's field of vision, Tang Wulin's figure was already rapidly plunging downward in mid-air. His body continuously borrowed force to bounce off the protruding parts of the rock wall like a nimble monkey, moving as if in his element, and quickly landed at the bottom.
This was the terrifying physical constitution bestowed upon Tang Wulin by the Golden and Silver Dragon King Bloodlines. A thousand-meter height could be said to be effortless. Of course, he also relied on borrowing force, rather than just jumping straight down to the bottom rigidly.
As for Wu Feng, she was not nearly as relaxed. Standing at the edge of the basin, she glanced down at that bottomless valley floor. Without Spirit possession, without the augmentation of Spirit Power, all she could rely on was her own physical constitution.
Wu Feng gritted her teeth, then cautiously stepped on the protrusions on the rock wall, beginning to climb and jump down little by little. Her speed was countless times slower than Tang Wulin's, but fortunately Wu Feng could also be considered to have been trying her best to improve her physical constitution. After a period of time, Wu Feng finally landed panting at the bottom of the valley.
At this time, Tang Wulin had already begun his work. He walked up to a massive dragon bone, first squatted down beside that dragon bone, murmured something in a low voice, and then raised his right hand to release the Golden Dragon Claw.
Subsequently, he fiercely plunged his hand into the empty ground to the side, then violently pried upward, tossing the soil onto the empty patch to the side. Very quickly, he dug out a pit on the ground that was large enough to accommodate that dragon bone.
His movements were quite swift. The sharpness of the Golden Dragon Claw under such circumstances without any Spirit Power augmentation was still nothing short of terrifying; digging up soil was even faster than operating an excavator.
In less than a few breaths of time, he had already dug out a pit, and then carefully picked up that dragon bone, gently placing it into the pit, before using his hands to cover it up bit by bit with the excavated soil.
Standing to the side and watching Tang Wulin's serious appearance, Wu Feng could not help feeling somewhat touched in her heart.
She withdrew her gaze, then also began looking around her surroundings, searching for a place where she could start working.
She walked up to a relatively smaller dragon bone, then squatted down imitating Tang Wulin's appearance, extending her hand wanting to dig soil, only to discover that her hands scratched at the hard ground for half a day, digging out only a shallow layer of loose soil.
She looked at her own fair fingers, then looked at Tang Wulin's pair of Golden Dragon Claws, and could not help letting out a wry smile.
Without a Spirit, without Spirit Power, without a Spirit Tool... her destructive power right now was simply a joke.
Right at this time, Wu Feng's gaze landed on those dragon bones, and she suddenly discovered something that greatly surprised her: attached to the bodies of those dragon bones were actually Spirit Bones of varying qualities!
There were arm bones, leg bones, skull bones, and even a few external Spirit Bones that looked quite rare.
If placed in the outside world, the dragon bones and Spirit Bones in this valley floor would be enough to make countless factions fight until their heads were broken and blood flowed.
Of course, for Wu Feng right now, they were not that precious. There was still a problem placed before Wu Feng right now, and that was how to dig the soil.
The situation right now was that having herself here or not having herself here made no difference at all.
At this time, Tang Wulin also noticed Wu Feng's situation, and then smiled as he spoke to Wu Feng.
"Wu Feng, why don't we do it this way? You help transport those dragon bones into the pits I've dug, and then I'll fill the soil."
"Move them carefully; those dragon bones have undergone I don't know how many years and are relatively fragile."
Hearing this, Wu Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she hurriedly nodded.
"Alright, I understand."
Thus, the two of them quickly made a clear division of labor. Tang Wulin was responsible for digging the pits in the front, while Wu Feng was responsible for carefully transporting the scattered dragon bones around to place them into the pits, and then Tang Wulin would proceed to fill and bury them with soil.
This was a major project for both of them. After all, no matter how fast Tang Wulin's digging speed was, the quantity of these dragon bones was certainly not small.
