The Doctor of the City goes down the mountain

Chapter 2643 Mysterious Turtle Shell!

Lin Dong and others surrounded the stone statue. The yellow light emitted by the statue shone on everyone's faces, making them look particularly weird.

This stone statue stands in the center of the cave, emitting a soft but not negligible yellow light all over its body, as if it is the last barrier to protect this land.

The air was filled with a mixture of tension and anticipation, and suddenly bursts of dragon roars were heard again from outside.

"Although we are temporarily safe now, we are trapped in this cave. We still have to find a way to leave. After all, our goal is not to explore the secret of this basalt statue, but to obtain the Earth Dragon Magic Technique." Tiankong said at this moment.

Everyone nodded and thought of the purpose of coming to the Earth Dragon Palace.

"How do we get out? Outside is that terrifying dragon soul. Its fighting power is even stronger than that of the Earth Dragon King before. Even if the Second Ancestor comes, he probably won't be a match. Can we defeat it and pass through this dragon tomb smoothly?"

"This is the only cave that can shelter us." Crescent Wolf King sighed.

"Perhaps, the dragon soul is not afraid of this cave, but this stone statue. If we break the stone statue, we may be able to find out the secret of the statue." Lin Dong's voice was low and firm, breaking the silence around him.

"Although this stone statue is strange, our mission is to find the Earth Dragon Magic, not to protect an unknown stone statue. Time is running out, and every moment of delay will reduce our hope of finding the Earth Dragon Magic."

Hearing Lin Dong's words, everyone was shocked.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the red dragon quickly stepped forward and stood in front of the stone statue, with an unquestionable light flashing in his eyes.

"Lin Dong, what are you doing? The existence of this stone statue is by no means accidental. The yellow light it emits obviously has a deterrent effect on the dragon soul."

"Once we destroy it, it will be equivalent to removing this protective shield. At that time, how can we resist the unknown and powerful dragon soul?"

Aidan also interrupted at this moment, "You said I was greedy before, saying that I wanted a treasure when I saw it. I think you are the one. This is our life-saving thing, and you actually want to kill the chicken to get the eggs?"

"You'll kill us..."

"Pa!!!" However, before Aidan could finish his words, he was slapped again by Lin Dong's phantom palm.

Then, Lin Dong's cold voice rang out: "Aidan, I said, I don't want to hear your voice? You have a bad memory!"

Aidan covered his face, feeling extremely aggrieved. He was a dignified Heaven Realm warrior, but he was slapped by Lin Dong just for saying a word.

For him, that kind of humiliation was worse than death!
But no matter how humiliating it was, he could only endure it. Otherwise, what else could he do? Would he go and fight Lin Dong to death?

Of course it was impossible! If he fought Lin Dong to death, he would just be courting death. So no matter how great the humiliation was, he could only endure it in his heart.

Waiting for revenge later!
Crescent Wolf King said, "Captain Lin, just treat Aidan's words as a fart. However, Red Dragon's words do make some sense."

"If we destroy this stone statue, then the dragon spirit will no longer be afraid of this cave. It will rush in directly and we will all die."

His words were like cold water that extinguished the impulse of some people.

For example, Tiankong also deeply agreed with their words at this moment.

"Indeed, Captain Lin, we should think about this matter carefully."

Indeed, in the face of the fear of the unknown, it is better to remain as you are.

This way, at least, it's safer.

Lin Dong frowned, his eyes moving back and forth between the stone statue and Aidan, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "Perhaps you are right. We cannot take risks easily. But the question is, if we continue to rely on the protection of this stone statue, when can we find a real way out? Perhaps, breaking the stone statue is not just a simple destruction, but the key to uncovering the truth."

His words revealed a complex emotion of determination and hope, which moved everyone.

Upon hearing this, Red Dragon, Crescent Wolf King, and Tiankong were also stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

"How about this," Lin Dong continued, "Let's not destroy the statue directly. Instead, we can try a gentler approach, such as looking for a mechanism or clues, to see if we can understand the secret behind it without destroying its integrity."

"At the same time, we must strengthen our vigilance to ensure that we can respond immediately if the situation changes." This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.

So Lin Dong led the team and searched carefully around the stone statue.

The light of the flame danced between the stone walls, and every knock and every touch seemed to be having a silent dialogue with ancient history.

Time passed quietly, and just when everyone was about to give up, Lin Dong suddenly discovered that a stone slab at the bottom of the statue seemed to be loose.

He pried it open carefully, and saw a faint light shining through the gap, accompanied by a low and long humming sound, as if it was a sign of the awakening of the sleeping giant.

"There is a mechanism! There is indeed a secret hidden in this stone statue!" Yun Ruoxian on the side shouted excitedly.

The others also gathered around immediately.

As the stone slab was completely removed, an exquisite mechanism box appeared before everyone's eyes. It was engraved with complex patterns and ancient runes, which echoed the yellow light emitted by the stone statue.

"This... may be the key to unlocking the secret of the stone statue!" Lin Dong's eyes flickered and the expression on his face relaxed.

In tension and anticipation, Lin Dong gently opened the mechanism box, and inside lay nothing but an ancient tortoise shell.

And that yellow light was emanating from the ancient tortoise shell.

"It seems that what the dragon soul fears is this turtle shell." Lin Dong said.

"What kind of treasure is this?" Aidan wanted to take it with his hands.

Although it is not clear what the effect of this turtle shell is.

Just by the yellow light it emits, the terrifying dragon soul outside is afraid and dares not come in to kill them. It can be inferred that this tortoise shell must be extraordinary.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the turtle shell, Lin Dong looked over at him.

"If you dare to touch it, I don't mind chopping off your hand!"

Hearing this, Aidan's hand, which was about to touch the turtle shell, stopped and he didn't dare to move forward at all.

Lin Dong also put the turtle shell into his pocket and asked everyone, "I want this turtle shell. Does anyone have any objections?"

After saying this, Yun Ruoxian said, "It should belong to you. You were the one who discovered it. And you also covered the rear for everyone and blocked the Earth Dragon Emperor. Otherwise, everyone would have died."

Tang Yun also said: "Since you discovered it, it naturally belongs to you!"

Although the Crescent Wolf King and the Little Monarch Red Dragon coveted the mysterious tortoise shell and wanted to get it, they were not stupid and knew what was the overall situation.

The two of them nodded and agreed: "I have no objection. Since this mysterious tortoise shell was discovered by Captain Lin, it should belong to Captain Lin."

"Aidan, what are you doing? Want to steal Captain Lin's things? Hurry up and apologize to Captain Lin!" Crescent Wolf King also said.

Tian Kong also nodded and looked at Aidan, "Apologize."

Aidan is so frustrated.

It’s fine if he didn’t get the baby, but he also needs to apologize?

However, no matter how aggrieved he felt, he had to endure it. No matter how humiliating it was, he had to endure it.

"I'm sorry, Captain Lin. I was wrong. You were the one who found the turtle shell. I shouldn't have coveted it."

Lin Dong ignored his apology, put away the mysterious tortoise shell, and then looked towards the dragon tomb outside.

At the same time, he murmured softly: "With this, can we pass through this dragon tomb smoothly?"
