Chapter 219 Obtaining the Dragon Turtle Egg, the Mysterious Stone Pillar

In an instant, the huge tortoise shell disappeared, leaving behind a large crater shaped like a tortoise shell.

"Huh? What is this?"

Just as Lu Yao was about to continue exploring the Loulan ruins, he suddenly discovered that there was an oval stone emitting a fluorescent glow under the dragon turtle's shell.

Lu Yao flashed and arrived in front of the oval stone.

When Lu Yao approached to observe, the Qilin essence within his body suddenly fluctuated slightly.

Lu Yao looked at the oval stone in front of him and took out the dragon vein spine.

Instantly, the dragon vein emitted a golden light, enveloping the oval stone in front of it.

"Could this be a dragon turtle egg?"

Lu Yao observed for a long time, staring wide-eyed, and thought with some uncertainty.

Lu Yao sensed an aura from this egg-shaped stone that was exactly the same as that of a tortoise shell. Combined with the reaction of the dragon vein, this confirmed Lu Yao's guess.

After a few breaths, the golden light on the stone egg dissipated, revealing its true form.

The dragon turtle egg now looked completely different from the previous stone egg.

The dragon turtle egg was now entirely dark green, with mysterious patterns on its shell, emitting a faint fluorescence.

Compared to before, Lu Yao sensed a much stronger life force from the dragon turtle egg.

"Speaking of which, there aren't any female dragon turtles in this world of wind and clouds, so how were you born?"

Lu Yao picked up the dragon turtle egg and couldn't help but complain.

The dragon turtle egg was quite large compared to the size of a human, about half the size of a person, and Lu Yao simply picked it up with both hands.

As if sensing Lu Yao's presence, the dragon turtle egg trembled slightly.

For some reason, Lu Yao felt a sense of closeness from this egg.

"We don't know how long it will take to hatch, so we can only keep them for now."

Lu Yao knew that the dragon turtle's bloodline was obviously not low, and the incubation time would probably be quite long, so he could only take it back first.

With a thought, Lu Yao returned to the Origin Space with the dragon turtle egg.

Lu Yao sensed the location of the giant eagle's nest.

Since Lu Yao was able to fly, he hadn't ridden the giant eagle out for a long time, so the giant eagle had been staying in the Origin Space, playing by itself.

"cracking!"

Upon seeing Lu Yao, the giant eagle flew happily to him and nuzzled him affectionately.

"Brother Eagle, let me show you a treasure."

Lu Yao chuckled, patted the giant eagle's head, and then took out the dragon turtle egg.

Upon seeing the dragon turtle eggs, the giant eagle immediately panicked and tried to fly back to its nest, as if the dragon turtle eggs were some kind of ferocious beast.

"Hey? Brother Eagle, why are you running?"

Lu Yao was slightly taken aback. He knew that the dragon turtle's bloodline might be far superior to that of the giant eagle, after all, the giant eagle was just a mutated ordinary bird, but he hadn't found the giant eagle to react so strongly.

Although I have consumed a lot of medicinal herbs and spiritual herbs over the years, they are still worlds apart from the Dragon Turtle.

"Take it easy, don't scare Brother Eagle."

Lu Yao patted the dragon turtle egg and said helplessly.

As if understanding Lu Yao's meaning, the dragon turtle egg's fluorescence subsided, and most of its mysterious aura disappeared.

The giant eagle in the distance glanced at the dragon turtle egg in Lu Yao's hand with a puzzled look, hesitated for a moment, and then flew back.

"Brother Eagle, this egg is now in your care. Please take good care of it."

Lu Yao smiled, placed the egg in the giant eagle's huge nest, left a puppet nearby to guard it, and then left the Origin Space.

Lu Yao possesses some absolute power in the Origin Space, and with the puppet present, the dragon turtle egg will not encounter any problems.

Both the giant eagle and the dragon turtle are mythical beasts. Although their bloodlines are vastly different, the dragon turtle egg hasn't hatched yet, so it's fine to leave it with the giant eagle.

Lu Yao mainly wanted to find something for the giant eagle to do, since it was the first mount he had ever tamed, and he still had some affection for it.

After dealing with the dragon turtle egg, Lu Yao reappeared in the Loulan ruins.

The fact that the ancient Loulan Kingdom was able to capture the dragon turtle clearly indicates that it was no ordinary kingdom.

Lu Yao was also somewhat interested in this country, and decided to explore this site as well.

The location of this dragon turtle shell must be the place where the Loulan Kingdom imprisoned the dragon turtle back then, and there are obviously some secrets here.

The ruins are now in ruins, but one can still vaguely sense the grandeur and mystery of this place in its heyday.

Lu Yao saw a stone slab at the edge with murals depicting the process of capturing a dragon turtle.

Clearly, the Loulan people considered the successful capture of the dragon turtle to be very meaningful, so they left behind a record of the process of capturing the dragon turtle to demonstrate their national strength.

The carvings on the stone wall are very simple: the warriors of Loulan besieged the dragon turtle, the dragon turtle resisted, and the warriors eventually captured and imprisoned the dragon turtle alive.

What intrigued Lu Yao was how the Loulan people subdued the dragon turtle, and even captured it alive.

Taking the other four sacred beasts as examples, even the weakest of them, the Fire Qilin, could be killed by the power of a Saint-level being, let alone the Dragon Turtle, which is known for its defense.

It seems impossible to succeed without multiple Saint-level experts surrounding and attacking.

However, it has been said that Loulan has several experts who have reached the Saint level. So why should they hide in this small western region? Not to mention dominating the Divine Continent, unifying the entire western region of the Divine Continent would be no problem.

Looking at the history of Loulan, it was just a small and insignificant country.

Therefore, Loulan must have used some method or treasure to capture the dragon turtle alive, and this method or treasure could also suppress the dragon turtle's strength.

Otherwise, if the auspicious beast like the dragon turtle were to become enraged, Loulan would truly be no match for its power.

Lu Yao carefully observed the murals and soon noticed some differences.

In the mural depicting the siege of the dragon turtle, there are six people whose positions are quite unusual, as if they are casting some kind of formation, and they are all holding the same item in their hands.

If these were the martial artists' own weapons, then it would be too much of a coincidence that all six of them had the same weapon. Considering Lu Yao's earlier doubts, these things were clearly not simple.

This mural depicts only this one scene; the scene after it shows the dragon turtle being captured.

With a thought, Lu Yao returned to the original location of the dragon turtle's shell and used all his perception abilities to search carefully.

Lu Yao soon noticed something was amiss.

All around the original dragon turtle shell, six stone pillars were erected, exactly where the six people in the mural stood.

Lu Yao approached one of the stone pillars and began to examine it carefully.

The stone pillar was jet black, clearly not made of ordinary material. Lu Yao reached out and touched the pillar, immediately sensing a change.

A sliver of Lu Yao's true energy was actually drawn away by the stone pillar in front of him!

Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly took a step back, looking at the six stone pillars with some surprise and uncertainty.

Lu Yao placed his hand on the stone pillar again, immersing himself in it. He wanted to see what was absorbing his true energy.
