Dominique clung to the edge of the rock, exerted strength on his feet, and climbed up easily.One step ahead of him, Werner Welf was squatting beside a clump of dry brown grass, watching his surroundings vigilantly.

They escaped from Abaddon's palace along the secret path that Werner had found, and came to the present rocky hillside.There is a protruding rock at the top of the hillside, and the "Dragon Mound" that Werner said is there-a huge white keel reclines on the rock, its head rests on the ground, and its long tail climbs a tall stone pillar. Hanging on both sides of the body, like steel bars supporting a building, some ribs are connected to the body, and some have been broken, inserted into the ground, looking from a distance, it looks like a bone-white forest.The endless gale in hell passed through the empty chest of the giant dragon, and the mournful wailing in the wind turned into a low, thunderous rumble, like the roar of an ancient dragon, rushing down the hillside.From a certain angle, the dark vortex in the sky can just be seen entrenched above the keel, like a crown dripping with blood.

Dominique looked at the skeleton of the dragon in awe, and suddenly felt a sense of tragedy in his heart.How long has this dragon been dead? 1000 years? 1 years?Before it died, how many years had it soared across the universe?Those glorious days are gone forever, and now only the bones still hang on to the majesty and glory of the past.

"The 'Dragon Tomb' is really..." Dominique pondered over the words, but found that there was no suitable sentence to describe the magnificence and vicissitudes of the dragon's bones.

"Don't stand there stupidly! Let's go!" Werner urged without nostalgia.

"I know, I know." Dominic muttered and followed the black market dealer.

There is a relatively flat road on the hillside, which may have been built by the predecessors. Although it is dilapidated now, it can still be used for people to walk.But Werner didn't dare to take the risk of going that way, for fear of encountering patrolling guards, so they could only trek among the rocks and weeds, and climbed hard to where the "Dragon Tomb" was located.

"I have already explored many places in the 'Dragon Tomb'." Werner said, "Today we will go to places that have not been explored, and then search for the 'crack' separately, which will be more efficient."

Dominic agrees. "But what does the 'crack' look like? I've never seen it!"

"The 'crack' is the gap between hell and the world. The energy flow there is unusual. If you observe it with the naked eye, you will find water-like fluctuations in the scene near the 'crack', or a strange red electric light flashing in the sky." Weier "Once you see these phenomena, you've found a 'crack,'" Na explained.

"I get it. Water-like fluctuations. Red lightning." Dominique repeated, strengthening his memory.

"Of course, don't expect to find the 'crack' in one go. There are still many unknown locations in the 'Dragon Tomb'. It will take a lot of time to find them one by one. Maybe we have to explore several times. If it doesn't happen, Don't be discouraged, there will be opportunities in the future. We can't stay out for too long, or Abaddon will become suspicious."

"clear."

They moved forward cautiously under the cover of weeds.When there was still a short distance from the "Dragon Tomb", Werner suddenly grabbed Dominic's wrist (scaring him almost rolled down the hillside), signaling that he was in danger.Dominic was at a loss.Werner hit the back of his head and dragged him behind a rock.

A group of black-armored guards came down from the direction of the "Dragon Tomb" along the relatively smooth road. The destination seemed to be the palace complex below, which seemed to be soldiers on patrol.Dominic fell on the ground, clutching the back of his head that was hurt by Werner, not daring to breathe.The black market merchant was much braver, leaning against the rock and watching the patrol carefully.

The black-armored guards didn't notice anything unusual when they passed in front of them. Only one soldier glanced in the direction of the rock, but said nothing, probably inadvertently.However, just like this, Dominique trembled in fright, and curled up like an ostrich.

When the patrol team had gone far enough that their voices could not be heard, Werner breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Dominic another shot. "Look at how cowardly you are! You've lost all the face of the witcher!"

Dominic covered his head that had been hit twice with tears in his eyes: "No one stipulates that a witcher must be bold!"

"Let's talk nonsense and go! I calculated the time it takes for them to patrol and go back and forth. We have about an hour before they return to the 'Dragon Tomb'."

Now that the patrol had left, they left the overgrown hillside with confidence and walked up the road.The smooth road was much easier to walk on than the chaotic rocky hills. Their speed suddenly increased a lot, and they were close to the dragon's skull in a short time.

Dominic held his breath, and slowly walked around the huge head with reverence.Although the dragon skull rested on the ground, Dominic had to straighten his neck to see its uppermost end. The diameter of the hollow eye socket alone was higher than half of Dominic.I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt a scorching strange wind gushing out from the dark eye sockets, as if the giant dragon was still breathing out the breath of flames.

The interior of the "dragon mound" that Werner refers to refers to the part covered by the dragon's wings and ribs.The terrain here is intricate, like a labyrinth of uncanny craftsmanship.The broken white ribs are inserted into the ground, forming giant curved pillars that touch the sky; strangely shaped rocks lie between the ribs, forming insurmountable stone walls; coupled with the ubiquitous roaring wind, shocking Eardrums, people quickly lose their sense of direction.If there is no one to guide you, you may get lost within a few steps.

Werner shuttled inside the "Dragon Tomb" with ease, squatting on the ground from time to time, as if looking for something.Dominique noticed that every time the road forked, there would always be some small marks on the inconspicuous places on the rocks or ribs. At first glance, he thought it was a natural scratch or crack, but if he looked closely, he would find the shape of those marks, Size has its specific rules.It seems that these traces are left by Werner. He has been exploring here for a long time and has already figured out the route.

"Let's start here."

Finally reached an unmarked fork in the road, Werner pointed to one of them and said, "I haven't explored this place yet, so I'll start here. You go there, I'll go here."

"Should I imitate you and make a mark?" Dominique picked up a flat and sharp stone, and tried to scratch on the rock, and indeed he could draw a shallow mark.

"No. Your markings are different from mine. It is easy to confuse them, and if you make them too obvious, you may be spotted by the patrol."

"Then how do I know which road I have walked and which road I haven't? What if I get lost?"

"Whenever the road forks, you just go to the left. If you find a dead end in the end, don't change the route reluctantly, just return to the current location and wait for me. Also, remember to count your heartbeats to calculate the time. We will be here in half an hour Meet, don't delay. If I don't see you when I come back, then I'll go back by myself and leave you alone."

"Oh." Dominic pouted, thinking that this guy looked down on him too much.

"Let's get started!" Werner ordered.

Just as they were about to split up, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps behind them.

"Ahead! Sure enough there are people here! Catch them!"
