Little White Dragon in the Crystal Coffin

"Why are you covering your eyes?" Seeing Song Shuhang covering his eyes, Miss Jiudeng was both amused and exasperated. "I'm still wearing clothes underneath."

Upon hearing this, Song Shuhang released his hand from his eyes and gave an awkward laugh.

Before her, beneath the pale blue-white monk's robe Miss Jiudeng wore a gray-blue monk's robe.

Then, she turned the pale blue monk's robe she had taken off inside out and rolled it up.

The inside of the bluish-white monk's robe was covered with runes. When Jiudeng rolled up the robe, the runes connected together. In the end, the bluish-white monk's robe transformed into something resembling a drill.

"Hehehe, you think you can trap me in a mere forbidden abyss? You're dreaming." The Miss Jiudeng said smugly. She reached out and grabbed the drill that was formed from the blue and white monk's robe, and poured spiritual power into it.

The drill bit began to spin wildly.

"I used three thousand Buddhist characters specifically designed to break restrictive formations to create this Restriction-Breaking Drill. Even if it's a restriction set up by that Big Pig, I'll break it for you!" Jiudeng said smugly.

Song Shuhang: "..."

"So, where do we even begin?" Jiudeng stared at the enormous abyss, surrounded by identical restrictive runes, feeling that it wouldn't matter where we started.

"Miss Jiudeng, can you find that anti-flying restriction? If we break that restriction, maybe we can fly directly up there?" Song Shuhang asked.

"No need to look anymore, the entire screen is covered in anti-flight restrictions." Jiudeng pointed to all the restrictions on the wall and said, "All the restrictions here are the same: anti-flight, confinement, reinforcement. So many runes combined to form this wretched abyss trap."

"Let's just find any place then." Song Shuhang took out his Overlord Shatter Saber, and said, "Wherever the hilt points, that's where we'll go."

"Okay," Jiudeng replied, holding up the drill bit.

Song Shuhang tossed the Overlord Shatter Saber, high into the air. The blade spun a few times before landing with a clang. The hilt pointed to the position to Song Shuhang's right front.

"That's it!" The Miss Jiudeng raised the drill bit, moved to the right front, and pressed the drill bit to drill into the abyss wall.

"Boom boom boom boom..." On the drill head formed from the blue and white monk's robe, the runes that broke the seal formed a golden rune chain, which rotated around the drill head continuously, generating a terrifying power to break the seal.

Beneath the drill, the restrictive runes also lit up. These were defensive runes set up by a Seventh-Grade Venerable, and they wouldn't be so easily broken.

The violent contact between the Restriction-Breaking Drill and the restrictive runes produced a thunderous roar.

'Boom boom boom boom~~' Song Shuhang could only cover his ears and smile bitterly.

Inside his pocket, Onion Lady was already foaming at the mouth because she hadn't been able to conjure up her little hands yet. As the huge, thunderous impact continued to echo in her ears, she felt her entire onion body shaking.

Damn it, she only Transformation into a small mouth, not even ears, so why can she hear the voice so clearly?

After a moment, Song Shuhang asked worriedly, "Miss Jiudeng, we're making so much noise drilling through the wall, won't the Heavenly Thunder Pig above notice our little tricks?"

"Of course, it's not deaf," the Miss Jiudeng replied. "So, it either lets us out, or it lets me dig this place up completely!"

Song Shuhang nodded silently.

Ten minutes later.

'Boom boom boom boom~~' Song Shuhang looked on with anticipation.

Half an hour later.

'Boom boom boom boom~~' Song Shuhang was still looking forward to it.

One hour later!

'Boom boom boom boom~~' Song Shuhang silently began to cultivate the <Vajra Foundation Fist>, <Unmoving Vajra Body>, and Gentleman Travels Ten Thousand Miles on the side.

Two hours later!

'Boom boom boom boom~~' Song Shuhang sat down cross-legged and silently began to cultivate the <True Self Meditation Scripture>. Although cultivating the <True Self Meditation Scripture> amidst the thunderous booming sounds was particularly difficult, the effects were also exceptionally good.

Another hour passed.

'Boom boom boom boom~~' Song Shuhang silently began to practice the Flame Blade and Palm Thunder.

An hour later...

The roar continued, and Song Shuhang, his face stiff, began doing calisthenics...

What else can I do?

Today, my physical training has reached its limit. Continuing to train will only cause hidden health problems, so I can no longer train.

The True Self Meditation Method has ended, and we're already doing the third round of radio calisthenics.

Is Miss Jiudeng any good?

Just as Song Shuhang was doing his tenth set of radio calisthenics, Miss Jiudeng's cheers rang out from the front. "Hahaha, all done!"

As she spoke, the drill in her hand erupted like a volcano, shattering a large section of the restrictive runes beneath it and creating a hole large enough for a person to barely crawl through.

"Let's go, let's dig a tunnel out. If the Big Pig won't let us out, we'll just build a passage under its palace," said the Miss Jiudeng happily.

The drill in her hand flew, and without the protection of the barriers, the ordinary cave walls could not stop the Miss Jiudeng's drill at all. The drilling speed was incredibly fast.

The drill bit blasted through the air, sending rocks flying everywhere...

"Miss Jiudeng, be careful not to go into the Black Sea," Song Shuhang warned her from behind. He sensed that the Black Sea was particularly eerie and had to be cautious.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. We'll drill upwards now, and hopefully we can get behind the Big Pig and give it a good thud, so it can taste this delicious flavor," said the Miss Jiudeng with a chuckle.

Song Shuhang was silent for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Miss Jiudeng, how strong are you?"

"I'm at the Peak Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor, just one step away from breaking through to the Sixth-Grade True Lord level. However, my condition is somewhat special, and I cannot be regarded as an ordinary Spirit Emperor or True Lord," said the Miss Jiudeng.

"So, putting aside the fact that Senior Heavenly Thunder Pig has already discovered our drilling situation... just think about what would happen if you, who is still at the Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor Realm, were to use a drill on Senior Heavenly Thunder Pig, who is already at the Seventh-Grade Spirit Venerable?" Song Shuhang prompted.

This is absolutely suicidal!

"Don't worry, at most it will lock me up for a few years, nothing will happen," the Miss Jiudeng said confidently.

Song Shuhang swallowed hard and asked the most crucial question, "What about me?"

"Hahaha, stay locked up with me for a few years, don't worry, it'll be over in the blink of an eye," the Miss Jiudeng laughed.

Song Shuhang: "..."

No way! He doesn't want to be locked up for years. Besides, he's not strong enough to be in seclusion for years in the blink of an eye.

Should he consider using the Overlord Shatter Saber to dig another passage? He has a feeling that following the Miss Jiudeng's lead won't end well.

Just as Song Shuhang was pondering, the Miss Jiudeng suddenly paused.

"Huh? Something's strange," she exclaimed.

"?" Song Shuhang looked at her in confusion.

"The stone wall in front isn't solid; there's a secret chamber!" Jiudeng asserted, confirming this through the echoes produced by the drill bit.

"A secret room? Could it be an underground river?" Song Shuhang asked cautiously.

"It can't be an underground river. Don't forget that Heavenly Island is a large island that flies in the sky. Where would an underground river come from?" Jiudeng smiled and grabbed the drill bit, drilling hard forward.

Clap clap clap clap

Debris flew everywhere, and then—BOOM! The stone wall in front of us was blasted through!

Just as Jiudeng had said, there was a huge secret chamber in front of them.

Then, the Miss Jiudeng led the way and jumped into the secret room, followed by Song Shuhang.

************************

In the secret room.

When Song Shuhang saw the entire secret chamber, he was immediately horrified.

If the Miss Jiudeng had used a drill to pierce the Heavenly Thunder Pig when she burst out of the ground, she would have been imprisoned for a few years at most.

So even if they manage to break into this secret room, they'll be locked up for at least several decades.

Because the place in front of them, which was drilled through by the Miss Jiudeng, was a tomb chamber.

Although it's unknown whose grave it is, the fact that the Heavenly Thunder Pig carefully buried the tomb beneath its palace suggests it's the grave of a close relative.

Digging up someone's own grave is a crime deserving of death!

Song Shuhang said with a wry smile, "Miss Jiudeng, I think we'd better leave as soon as possible."

"That's what I thought too." Miss Jiudeng had a bitter face—she really didn't mean it. Who would have thought there was a tomb beneath Senior Heavenly Thunder Pig's palace?

"Then let's back out and block the tomb wall again... Holy crap!" When Song Shuhang turned around, he saw that the tomb wall, which had been drilled with a big hole, had automatically recovered and looked brand new.

Moreover, the tomb walls were shimmering with bright runic light, which was clearly more powerful than the restrictive runes on the 'deep pit walls'.

Miss Jiudeng gritted her teeth and said, "As expected, it was that Big Pig's doing again!"

The Heavenly Thunder Pig must have noticed us because we made such a loud noise when we broke through the barrier. Maybe it just thought we were too noisy, so it lured us into this Shuhang and locked us up here.

After gritting her teeth, the Miss Jiudeng said, "Regardless of what that Big Pig is thinking, now that we're in the tomb, let's go in and see what's inside!"

The secret chamber was not large; looking around, there were ten coffins in total.

On the highest platform in the center, there was a huge Crystal Coffin, surrounded by various white flowers. Around the Crystal Coffin, nine equally huge bronze Crystal Coffin formed an array to firmly protect it.

Song Shuhang and the Miss Jiudeng approached the high platform and looked towards the transparent Crystal Coffin in the center.

Inside the coffin was a slender, mythical beast.

Its antlers resemble those of a deer, its head a camel's, its eyes a rabbit's, its neck a snake's, its belly a clam's, its scales a fish's, its claws an eagle's, its paws a tiger's, and its ears a cow's; its entire body is pure white and flawless.

"A dragon!" Song Shuhang's eyes widened, and it was a pure White Dragon.

"It really is a dragon." Jiudeng's eyes widened, and after a moment, she murmured, "It's a pity it didn't turn into Dragonbone, so it can't grow Dragonbone Withered Vine."

She was still thinking about Song Shuhang's wish.

"This White Dragon is so beautiful," Song Shuhang exclaimed.

Just as Song Shuhang and Jiudeng's attention shifted to White Dragon, the door of one of the nine Bronze Coffin beside them twitched slightly.

A White Bone claw peeked out from the crack in the coffin door...
