Chapter 2591 Obtaining
Chapter 2591 Obtaining
Shi Lipeng understood the urgency of the situation. He cupped his fists respectfully toward his instructor and turned to leave.
Carefully exiting the hall, he closed the large doors behind him.
This visit to the undead council's high command had truly opened his eyes to why the council's upper echelon had been reluctant to engage in war with the Holy Realm.
At present, the exploration of the death realm still needed more time.
Their fight with the Holy Court could be delayed as much as possible.
The longer they delayed, the more the undead faction could convert the gains from the death realm into overall strength.
The chances of victory would increase accordingly!
From a strategic standpoint, if he were in their position, he would have made the same choice.
However, the undead faction's low-tier and mid-tier worlds were constantly being eroded by the Holy Court, and life was becoming increasingly difficult.
He hoped Fang Heng and the others would make progress soon.
As for the Bone Dragon...
He still thought it was a bit too ambitious.
Shi Lipeng felt that the necromancy instructors had taken too big a step this time, and he feared they wouldn't succeed. He hoped Fang Heng would take a more grounded approach.
Shi Lipeng slapped his cheek, shook off his doubts, and regained his focus. He began walking toward the passage.
Hmm?
After walking a dozen steps, Shi Lipeng suddenly stopped.
Whoosh!!!
A loud, bustling noise came from behind him, from within the council hall!
Even though the large doors of the hall were firmly closed, he could still hear the commotion from inside.
What had happened?
Why was there such excitement all of a sudden?
Could it be...?
No, it couldn't be!
Shi Lipeng seemed to have a premonition, and his heart started racing wildly. Without hesitation, he turned around and rushed back toward the council hall.
Upon entering the hall, Shi Lipeng was met with an atmosphere of celebration.
Even the instructors, some of whom were hundreds of years old, were visibly excited, their movements as animated and exuberant as those of the young students, clapping and gesturing enthusiastically.
Shi Lipeng looked up, his gaze fixed on the central projection where Fang Heng was visible. His eyes widened in astonishment.
In the mirror-like projection, the undead Bone Dragon lay obediently in front of Fang Heng, its eyes glowing with the red fire of souls.
Gradually, the confusion in Shi Lipeng's eyes turned into shock, which then shifted into surprise and excitement.
Could it be...?
Had they really succeeded?!
...
[Hint: The player has successfully inscribed a soul mark in the sea of consciousness of the undead Bone Dragon through high-tier undead summoning-Bones (modified). The player can now consume mental strength to remotely summon and reverse summon the undead Bone Dragon.]
It was a success!
Fang Heng's face lit up with joy.
He had tried for an entire two days and nights!
Finally, his luck had kicked in, and he had hit the right probability!
Around him, the ten or so members of the Dark Clan also cast surprised looks in his direction.
He tamed the Bone Dragon!
This guy had really done it?
It was well known that even among the Dark Clan, it wasn't easy to tame an undead Bone Dragon. It often took years, even decades, to find a Bone Dragon controller.
But today, they had witnessed it firsthand.
Sirius, observing Fang Heng, also showed a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
It had really worked.
He could feel his life force gradually fading, nearing its end. But with this last thread of hope, he had decided to accompany Fang Heng in his reckless gamble, trying to seize whatever chance remained.
Unexpectedly, fate had given him one last glimmer of hope.
"Priest Sirius, what do you think? I wasn't lying to you. We really did succeed," Fang Heng said, his voice filled with pride. He then used his consciousness to control the Bone Dragon, which slowly began to lift off, flying up into the sky.
Sirius nodded lightly, but his expression remained serious, "But Fang Heng, with just a single Bone Dragon, we still can't truly enter the Dragon Grave Mountain's interior. Our time is running out."
Two days had passed, and with the continued consumption, Sirius's core consciousness strength had been severely weakened.
"I know."
Fang Heng slowly raised his head, gazing at the vast expanse of the Dragon Grave Mountain range.
His goal, of course, wasn't just to tame a single Bone Dragon.
It was the entire Dragon Grave Mountain range!
He wanted it all!
With a demigod-level mount at his disposal, Fang Heng now had even bigger plans in mind.
As he pondered, Fang Heng controlled the Bone Dragon to circle back down and land in front of him. Turning, he saw Sirius, the priest, looking weak and fatigued. Unable to help himself, Fang Heng decided to give him a little motivational boost.
"Sirius, priest, the first step is complete. We're about to hit the next phase. If we hurry, we can still find the Empress's will before her power completely fades. I'll need your help moving forward. Let's go."
Fang Heng said, effortlessly leaping onto the back of the Bone Dragon, then extending a hand toward Sirius.
"Let's hope so," Sirius replied, rising to his feet. He joined Fang Heng on the Bone Dragon's back.
"Let's go."
"Whoosh!!!"
The Bone Dragon flapped its wings, carrying Fang Heng and Sirius toward the periphery of the Dragon Grave Mountain range.
At the foot of the mountain, the Dark Clan guards stationed around the Dragon Grave Mountain range quickly received the news.
The guards fell silent for a moment, gazing upward toward the direction of the Dragon Grave Mountain, their eyes filled with envy.
Someone had successfully forged a soul summoning contract with a Bone Dragon.
"So... it's true... not easy."
Kotal received the news and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Wait...?
Suddenly, Kotal's attention was caught by something. He looked up into the sky.
It was the Bone Dragon!
A Bone Dragon flew out of the white mist surrounding the Dragon Grave Mountain range, soaring into the distance.
Huh?
Upon a closer look, there were two figures sitting atop the Bone Dragon.
It's him?
The human from before?
Kotal's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected a human to possess such abilities.
He watched the Bone Dragon circle the perimeter of the Dragon Grave Mountain range for a moment, and then Kotal's surprise slowly shifted to confusion.
Hm?
This was odd.
While he could understand the excitement of successfully taming a Bone Dragon, and it was normal for the Bone Dragon to fly around the mountain range a few times, this human seemed a little strange.
The Bone Dragon circled the outer edge of the Dragon Grave Mountain range a few times before hovering in the lower air just outside the mountain's right flank, circling repeatedly.
What was he up to?
Kotal frowned, his instincts telling him something was off.
Meanwhile, Fang Heng was controlling the Bone Dragon, flying low around the Dragon Grave Mountain range's outskirts.
For the past two days, aside from focusing on finding a Bone Dragon to imprint his soul mark on, Fang Heng had been closely observing the movements of the Bone Dragons.
Through his observations, he discovered that Bone Dragons didn't simply stay within the confines of the Dragon Grave Mountain range.
They would often "wander" off.
From time to time, Bone Dragons would fly away from the mountain range, stretching their wings over the surrounding lands.
So...
Since the Bone Dragons were subject to certain "rules" within the Dragon Grave Mountain range set by the Dark Clan, it would be harder to take action there. But outside, those same rules wouldn't restrict him.
Fang Heng's eyes gleamed with a hint of greed.
There was no need to rush. He would take his time.
Start from the outside.
Little by little, he would wear down and take control of the Bone Dragon population!
It was just like rolling a snowball, once the first step was taken, the rest would get easier and easier.
Fang Heng sat upon the back of the undead Bone Dragon, his gaze stretching toward the mist-covered mountains ahead. At the same time, he began to command his zombie clones to gather in the forests below, preparing for the next move.
