Chapter 10
: Remains of a True Dragon!
—That's not an inanimate object at all.
Even though it was just a skeleton, the overwhelming primordial aura emanating from it still struck everyone's heart like a tangible hammer.
The live stream seemed to freeze.
There are no bullet comments.
There are no gift effects.
There was only deathly silence.
A full five seconds passed before the suffocating silence was finally broken by the torrent of furiously erupting comments.
Holy crap!!!
[A dragon?! It really is a dragon?!]
[Is this special effects? This is definitely special effects! Which company makes this? I want to buy their stock!]
[Don't be silly, upstairs! This is a live stream! And didn't you get enough of the scene where the corpse eel was beheaded? This is real!]
My mom asked me why I was kneeling while looking at my phone...
Standing before that enormous skeleton, Jiang Han felt as insignificant as a speck of dust.
The beam of the powerful searchlight swept along the winding spine.
A body that's a hundred meters tall!
Each rib is like an arch bridge, incredibly thick.
What's most chilling is the posture of this dragon skeleton.
It did not die of natural causes.
Nine bronze chains, each as thick as a wrist, pierced through its collarbone, spine, and limbs, pinning it firmly to the cave floor.
The chains were covered with dense inscriptions, which, though blurred by the passage of time, still exuded a chilling, suppressive power.
These are not remains.
This is clearly an execution ground!
Jiang Han narrowed his eyes, his gaze falling on the dragon's head.
Although only bare white bones remained of the enormous skull, the pair of prominent dragon horns still gleamed with a metallic cold light, as if they were about to raise their heads and roar, tearing the sky apart at any moment.
"Is this Kunlun's secret?"
Jiang Han muttered to himself, his voice echoing in the empty cave.
He did not prostrate himself in worship like ordinary people, nor did he tremble with fear.
in contrast.
A flicker of...greed flashed in his eyes?
Yes, it's greed.
It's like a desperate beggar suddenly seeing a mountain of gold.
"System, can this thing be recycled?"
He asked himself.
[Ding! Detected 'Ancient True Dragon (Remains)', containing extremely high energy! However, its size is too large for the current system space to hold. It is recommended that the host absorb its remaining dragon energy or collect materials from key parts.]
"Tch, garbage system."
Jiang Han curled her lip in disdain.
Since we can't take the whole thing with us, let's stock up on some.
Under the horrified gaze of millions of viewers across the internet, Jiang Han made a shocking move.
He sheathed his black gold ancient sword and, using both hands and feet, climbed directly up the bronze chain that pierced through the dragon's bones to the top of the enormous dragon's head!
[What are you doing, streamer?!]
That's a deity! It mustn't be blasphemed!
Come down quickly! Be careful or you'll be punished by heaven!
Jiang Han turned a deaf ear.
He stood steadily on the dragon's head and reached out to tap the fang that was a full meter long.
"when--"
A clear, metallic sound rang out.
"Its hardness is quite good, harder than a diamond."
Jiang Han commented, then turned his gaze to the sides of the dragon's mouth.
There are two slender bone spurs there, with a translucent jade-like appearance, which are the legendary dragon whisker fossils.
"This is good."
Jiang Han reached out and grabbed one of them, shaking it vigorously. "It's very flexible. If I take it off and use it as a belt, it should be very cool."
【…】
[What the hell is this, a belt?!]
"That's a dragon's whiskers! A priceless treasure! You're using it as a belt?"
Is this the world of the strong? I want one too...
……
at the same time.
Headquarters of Shark Live Streaming Platform.
Operations Director Wang Hai was staring intently at the large screen in front of him, cold sweat pouring down his face.
Back-end data shows that Jiang Han's live stream viewership has exceeded 20 million!
The server is alarming wildly, and the red lights are flashing like they're in a disco.
"Director! We can't hold on any longer! The traffic is too high! We have to divert traffic!"
The head of the technical department roared, "And... this content is too sensitive! It's a dragon! Should we cut off the signal?"
Wang Hai's hands were trembling.
cut off?
Cutting it off now would mean going against tens of millions of people online!
Moreover, as a seasoned media professional, he keenly sensed the terrifying value behind this incident.
If this is true...
Shark Platform will become a witness to history!
This will be the first time in human history that a legendary creature has been discovered live!
"Don't pinch!"
Wang Hai slammed his fist on the table, his eyes bloodshot. "Give me more servers! Switch all the bandwidth from other channels! Even if all the other streamers are experiencing severe lag, we must save Jiang Han's stream!"
"But up there..."
"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"
Wang Hai gritted his teeth, "Push it! Make it a site-wide pop-up! Make it the top post on the homepage! The title should be—'Kunlun Forbidden Zone: A Direct Strike at the Appearance of the True Dragon!'"
"yes!"
With Wang Hai's command, the resources of the Shark platform were instantly allocated.
Countless viewers who were watching beautiful women dance or live game streams suddenly had a blood-red pop-up window appear on their phone screens.
Driven by curiosity, countless people clicked on it.
Then, no one could get out.
……
Inside the cave.
Jiang Han had no idea that the outside world had changed drastically.
He was riding on the dragon's head, holding the ancient black gold sword that could cut through iron like mud, preparing to "groom" the old dragon.
"Click."
The blade got stuck at the base of the dragon's whiskers.
Just as he was about to use force to cut.
【warn!warn! 】
Suddenly, a piercing red alarm sounded in my mind.
[High-energy life form detected! Near the host!]
[It's not a real dragon! It's some kind of parasitic creature!]
It... woke up!
Jiang Han's hand suddenly stopped.
An extremely dangerous chill instantly shot from the tailbone straight to the top of the head.
It wasn't because of a system warning.
Rather, it's because...
He felt the dragon skeleton beneath him seem to tremble slightly.
It was like... something was crawling inside this massive skeleton.
