Chapter 786: Chapter 361: Farewell to the Pebble Drake

...

...

Black Flame circled once above Frost Wolf Forest.

The massive body gradually descended, wings folded, and finally landed steadily on the clearing among the trees.

Luo De jumped down from Black Flame’s back, and the soldiers responsible for guarding quickly ran over.

"Lord."

The soldiers greeted respectfully.

This was where the cave of the rock ridge was once discovered; the small stone dragon slept inside.

Luo De nodded slightly in response and instructed, "Go, bring the torches."

"Yes, Lord."

The soldier immediately ran to the campfire and brought the lit torch over.

Vivian proactively took the torch and followed Luo De into the cave.

The torch illuminated the cave, and Luo De, following his memory, moved forward until he quickly found the underground hall that originally connected to the cave.

Besides the extraordinary gemstone and dragon bones having been moved, there were essentially no changes.

"Time to wake up."

Luo De walked to the stone monument and shouted towards the empty cave.

The sound was extraordinarily loud, followed by a dead silence.

"Could it be dead?" Vivian whispered.

"Ah..."

The sudden sound startled Vivian into a shiver.

Then a deep yawn lazily echoed, as a phantom gradually gathered in mid-air.

The surrounding stones began to tremble and quickly gathered into the air, finally winding around the phantom.

"Who dares to disturb my rest?!"

The deep voice carried displeasure, but when it saw Luo De’s figure, its tone suddenly softened,

"So it’s you, the lord."

The small stone dragon stretched lazily, "Back so soon, have you found a way to enhance my body?"

A year or two is long for humans, but for dragons, especially those who like to sleep, it’s just a nap.

"Not yet."

Luo De looked at the small stone dragon and took out a small skull, "But I found this, maybe it can take you away."

"What is this?"

The small stone dragon swung closer to inspect carefully and asked with a confused voice,

"Is it a Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl?"

"It looks a bit different."

The small stone dragon sniffed it, "Smells like life energy, an interesting little thing."

Luo De looked at the small stone dragon, "Didn’t expect you to recognize this thing?"

"I recognize many things, just forget easily."

The small stone dragon said, not humbly, "Once I see it, I remember."

"Hope so."

Luo De raised the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl towards the small stone dragon, "Get ready, let’s see if you can come in."

"Great, finally leaving this wretched place!"

The small stone dragon’s voice was filled with excitement, stepping back two paces to hover in place.

Luo De concentrated his Spiritual Power on the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl and slowly infused it with Magic Power.

The Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl gradually left Luo De’s palm, slowly floating in mid-air, emitting a purple glimmer, with a hint of green light in the middle.

In the next instant, a beam of purple light shot out, completely enveloping the small stone dragon.

The stones on the small stone dragon began to vibrate, its phantom turned into a plume of smoke, streaming rapidly along the purple light into the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl.

In the blink of an eye, the small stone dragon’s body completely dissipated, and the stones lost control and fell to the ground.

The light on the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl instantly disappeared, also losing control and falling back into Luo De’s hand.

At this moment, the stone monument underfoot began to tremble violently, cracks appearing soon after.

The cave also started to shake, with countless sand and dust falling from above.

"Let’s get out first."

Luo De didn’t linger, pulling Vivian and running out.

Just a few steps away, a rumbling sound echoed from behind, a collapse occurring where the small stone dragon had been.

However, the range was not large, and the cave dug by the rock ridge before wasn’t affected.

Despite this, Luo De didn’t stop, swiftly leaving with Vivian.

As they neared the exit, Luo De holding the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl asked, "How are you?"

With the sound falling, the small stone dragon’s phantom suddenly shot out, instinctively making Luo De lean back.

"I am... I’m fine!"

The small stone dragon said excitedly, "Don’t forget to inject Magic Power regularly!"

"It’s fine, you won’t die even if I forget; this Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl will keep your last consciousness intact."

Luo De said calmly, "And next time when you come out, don’t charge at my face, or it’ll be hard for me to resist attacking you."

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

The small stone dragon urged, "Come on, let’s get out and see the sunshine!"

"Sunshine?"

Vivian looked at the small stone dragon and asked, "Isn’t sunlight what you undead hate the most?"

"I told you, I’m not one of those filthy, lowly things; I’m a great dragon soul consciousness!"

The small stone dragon retorted angrily, "Don’t compare me to those lower undead ants!"

"Oh, is that so."

Vivian responded softly, though still full of disbelief.

The small stone dragon wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Luo De,

"Alright, you’ll find out later whether it’s undead or not."

Luo De walked straight out holding the Soul-Binding Treasure Pearl.

Even if there’s undead energy, Luo De can purify it.

"I’m definitely not!"

The small stone dragon’s voice echoed in the cave.

...

...

"The atmosphere outside, truly brings dragons joy!"

Sunlight poured down, illuminating the phantom body of the small stone dragon.

It floated above the snow, lifting its head, making a gesture as if inhaling deeply, as if trying to swallow all the forest’s air into its belly.

The intoxicated look completely expressed the feeling of a prisoner finally regaining freedom after being imprisoned for millennia.
