Chapter 441: Two Three Four: Save the Queen! Devour Dragon Tears! (Important, must order)_2

Suo Lun said, "The Dragon Mark relic is the energy core and power source of this Sea God Behemoth. Just like in Bloody Shore Lost City, the entire kingdom’s defense array is powered by the Dragon Mark relic in the sacred temple."

"Right," Yao Xing said.

Suo Lun asked, "The Dragon Mark relic of the Blood Case Lost City is a Dragonflame. What do you think the Dragon Mark relic of the Rock Island Kingdom is?"

"I’m not sure," Yao Xing said.

"Where could it be?" Suo Lun asked.

"It must be within the heart of the Sea God Behemoth," Yao Xing answered. "Just as the Dragonflame Crystal is in the central part of Blood Case Lost City, the Dragon Mark relic of the Rock Island Kingdom must also be in the central part of the Sea God Behemoth."

Suo Lun said, "And we are now within the heart of the Sea God Behemoth?"

"Right," Yao Xing said.

Suo Lun said, "The reason why freshwater is becoming scarcer is because the energy of the Rock Island Kingdom’s Dragon Mark relic is gradually depleting, and thus the conversion efficiency of freshwater is getting slower."

Yao Xing responded, "Right, the Rock Queen just jumped in here, and then you were pushed down. This activated the Sea God Behemoth’s defense energy array, depleting its last bit of energy. Now its heartbeat is getting slower and slower, dropping to once every nine seconds, once every ten seconds. Imagine what would happen to a creature whose heartbeat slows to that extent?"

"It... would die," Suo Lun said.

"Right, the Sea God Behemoth is dying, and it’s going to die soon," Yao Xing said. "Rock Island is doomed, so Yan Mo is right, he is an awakened one. The Rock people must change, must expand, must leave the Archipelagos of Rock, or they will perish. But every awakened one is in agony."

The Sea God is dying!

It didn’t know how long it had lived, thousands or tens of thousands of years, yet it was about to die!

The energy of the Dragon Mark relic is about to be completely depleted!

Yao Xing said, "Therefore, you must obtain the Dragon Mark relic before the Sea God dies, otherwise this Dragon Mark relic will completely extinguish, using up its last bit of energy."

Once the energy of the Dragon Mark relic is exhausted, there would be no way to revive the Rock Queen.

At this moment, Suo Lun’s mind began to clear a bit, and he started to stand up, looking around in search of something.

This was a cave, a cavern spanning tens of thousands of square meters, surrounded by passageways leading in all directions.

Both the ground and the cave walls were like red jade, clear and lustrous.

Indeed, this was inside the heart of the Sea God Behemoth, probably inside one of the heart chambers, and the passageways around it were the creature’s blood vessels.

Of course, it wasn’t a real behemoth, but an energy creature, whose structure was identical to that of a living being.

"Master, we must be quick," Yao Xing said. "The Sea God’s heartbeat is getting slower and slower, and it will soon die..."

Suo Lun observed the cave he was in, which was a chamber of the Sea God’s heart, either an atrium or a ventricle.

Around him, there was no sign of the Dragon Mark relic; it clearly was not here.

Yao Xing said, "Master, use your imagination. In Bloody Shore Lost City, the Dragon Mark relic was a Dragonflame. So what might the Dragon Mark relic be in the Rock Island Kingdom?"

"Water!" Suo Lun said. "Because the Sea God Behemoth relies on it to transform freshwater continuously."

"Right, it should be water," Yao Xing agreed. "Thousands of years ago, there was a legend of a Dragon Mark relic called Dragon’s Holy Tear! It was said to be hidden in some seabed, but no one knew where. If I’m not mistaken, the Dragon Mark relic we are looking for is the Dragon’s Holy Tear."

The Dragon’s Holy Tear was the tear of a divine dragon.

Suo Lun closed his eyes, using his wisdom to deduce where this Dragon’s Holy Tear could be.

There were left and right atria, and left and right ventricles in a heart.

And he was currently in one of them, but it was unclear which specific atrium or ventricle.

The beating of the heart is accomplished by the contraction and relaxation of the atria and ventricles.

Then, without any surprises, the Dragon’s Holy Tear should be at the center of the four chambers.

Because it is the energy core of the entire heart, the entire Sea God Behemoth, and even the entire Rock Island Kingdom.

Then, Suo Lun began to observe the direction of the surrounding blood vessels to determine his location.

Soon, he concluded that he was in the right atrium because only to the left were there vascular passageways.

Therefore, by moving down to the left and following the blood vessels, he would reach the core area of the four chambers.

That’s where the Dragon Mark relic, the Dragon’s Holy Tear, would be.

"Master, hurry, we must hurry..." Yao Xing suddenly shouted: "The Sea God’s heartbeat is getting slower and slower; it’s about to die."

So sudden, so urgent?

Yao Xing felt that the depletion of the Dragon Mark relic’s energy was accelerating.

Of course, even one second before complete depletion, the remnants of the Dragonflame Crystal possessed immensely powerful energy.

Just like in the Bloody Shore Lost City, where the Dragonflame Crystal had provided energy for tens of thousands of years and little was left. But even this minuscule amount of energy completely purified the entire blood sea and allowed Suo Lun’s cultivation to break through tremendously.

However, once it was completely exhausted, not even a trace of energy remained.

At this moment, Suo Lun had already calculated the direction and immediately, holding the unconscious Stone Queen, he desperately ran towards the blood vessel channel at the bottom left corner.

Although it was just one of the Sea God Behemoth’s blood vessels, it was several dozen meters in diameter, making his run completely unobstructed.

At this time, the Stone Queen was completely unconscious, and Suo Lun was extremely weak. Although she was a woman, she stood over 1.7 meters tall, and her voluptuous figure weighed over a hundred pounds, making Suo Lun’s desperate run with her in his arms almost break his legs and exhaust his strength.

"Master, hurry, hurry..." Yao Xing trembled, "I can feel the energy of the Dragon’s Holy Tear weakening by the moment, the Sea God is about to die, there’s less than a minute left."

Because, in one minute, the Sea God’s heart would beat six times, each consuming the surviving energy of the Dragon Mark relic (Dragon’s Holy Tear).

And once the Sea God passed away, it meant that the Dragon Mark relic would be completely depleted, meaning they would never be able to revive the Stone Queen.

Even more, the Sea God’s heart and body would completely contract, trapping Suo Lun and the others alive in this place.

Suo Lun, holding the Stone Queen, ran desperately, ran, ran, straight towards the center of the Sea God’s heart.

It was a race against time, a race against death.

"Master, quick, drop the Stone Queen, or you’ll die here, quick, drop the Stone Queen," Yao Xing screamed in horror.

Although Suo Lun had exhausted his dragon power and energy in the fall just before, he was already very fatigued.

If he dropped the Stone Queen now, his speed would increase, and perhaps he would find the Dragon Mark relic before the Sea God died.

But still, he held onto the Stone Queen tightly, refusing to let go.

Running, running, running...

Racing towards the center of the Sea God’s heart, racing outright with Death himself.

Seconds ticked away, and Yao Xing had said that the Sea God only had one minute left to live.

Ten seconds passed, fifteen seconds, thirty seconds, forty-five seconds, fifty seconds...

Suo Lun ran desperately while holding the Stone Queen, not knowing how far or how long he had run, running along the blood vessel passages of the Sea God Behemoth.

Suddenly, the view opened up before him...

Ahead was an incomparably magnificent sight.

A crystal that looked like a teardrop floated in mid-air.

This was the center of the heart.

It was the Dragon Mark relic, the Dragon’s Holy Tear.

It was a beautiful, ethereal blue—the most beautiful, purest blue in the world.

Indeed, it was a tear, a dragon’s tear.

It was this tear that had provided Rock Island Kingdom with energy for tens of thousands of years, as well as fresh water.

And now, it was about to expend its last bit of energy.

Suo Lun made a final sprint, sprinting, sprinting...

However...

"Boom... Rumble..."

The Sea God’s last heartbeat came to an end.

Then the magnificent Dragon’s Holy Tear, like a star in the sky, began to fall.

"Swish..."

Suo Lun, with the Stone Queen in his arms, made a desperate dash, sprinting!

After the Dragon’s Holy Tear fell, it turned into thousands of blue lights, showering over Suo Lun and the Stone Queen.

"Boom boom boom boom boom..."

An endless supply of energy.

Endless radiance!
