113: The end of the underground cave, the magnificent hall

After dealing with the Two-Headed Dragon, Song Ming glanced at the hundreds of caves in the surrounding rock walls.

The caves were completely silent.

It seemed that, under the Two-Headed Dragon's command, all the sub-Dragon monsters living in these caves had come out, with not a single one remaining.

The Two-Headed Dragon had intended to buy time for its escape.

However, Song Ming had easily wiped out its subordinates, and the Two-Headed Dragon naturally couldn't escape death either.

Confirming that there were no monsters left here,

he turned and said into the passage behind him, "Senior Ning, I've cleared out all the monsters here. Let's continue downwards!"

Ning Hua and Jiang Rong, who were hiding far away in the passage, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then stepped forward.

If they hadn't been far enough away, and if the Two-Headed Dragon's main target hadn't been Song Ming,

they would have been severely injured, if not dead.

After all, that killer sound wave was a rare mental skill, and neither of them had any mental defense methods.

Just a few leaked sound waves had made them dizzy, and they still hadn't fully recovered.

When Ning Hua and the others emerged from the passage and saw Song Ming, who still looked completely unharmed, they couldn't help but be surprised.

Such a terrifying mental attack would be unbearable even for a Archmage above Rank 100.

Yet Song Ming was perfectly fine, completely unaffected.

This clearly showed his powerful foundation.

Song Ming didn't explain anything to them, walking straight into the passage ahead.

Only by reaching the end of the underground cave and defeating the Black Dragon entrenched there,

could his Fourth Rank quest be completed.

After all, Song Ming's speed in grinding monsters along the way was obvious to all, and his experience points naturally soared.

If not for the uncompleted Fourth Rank quest, he would probably have already reached Rank 80 by now.

The three passed through the huge, empty passage and reached its end.

There was no path ahead, and beneath their feet appeared a giant, bottomless pit.

This giant pit was five hundred meters wide.

It was pitch black below, making it almost impossible to see anything.

Song Ming dropped a stone down, but after a long time, he still couldn't hear the echo of the stone hitting the bottom.

"The bottom of this pit should be the core of the underground cave. There are quite a few monsters hidden around the pit, junior, you need to be careful."

Ning Hua reminded him.

Song Ming nodded, then the largest Thunder Giant Dragon obediently came before the three, lowering its body.

Its right wing drooped down, extending to his feet.

"Let's go, we're going down!"

After Song Ming finished speaking, he stepped onto the Dragon's right wing and climbed onto its broad back.

Ning Hua and Jiang Rong exchanged glances, a hint of excitement in their eyes.

They had never ridden a Dragon in their lives.

Inevitably, they were a little excited.

The Thunder Giant Dragon then came to the edge of the pit, leaped down, and quickly flew downwards.

At the same time, the other two Dragons were not idle.

They also followed, flying down and acting as bodyguards on either side.

In the dark environment, visibility was inevitably obstructed.

Therefore, every now and then, Jiang Rong would fire a flare arrow.

Song Ming finally saw the monsters hidden on the surrounding rock walls.

They were all hanging upside down on protruding rocks, their appearance very similar to bats, with black fur and exposed fangs.

Their size was also very large, like the Wyverns he first encountered.

Seeing this, Song Ming didn't hesitate to cast an Appraisal Technique.

[Bloodthirsty Dragon Bat (Enhanced Elite Monster)]

[HP: 55,000,000]

[Rank: 85]

[Strength: 6600]

[Agility: 7110]

[Spirit: 3000]

[Physique: 4820]

[Defense: 4920]

[Skill: Neurotoxin]

Another enhanced elite monster, but these monsters' attributes were far inferior to the Two-Headed Dragon's.

Moreover, these monsters were too scattered.

Song Ming was too lazy to waste mana killing these small fry, so he simply released the sub-Dragon spirits he had just killed.

With the same Rank and large numbers, plus the assistance of two Thunder Giant Dragons,

they quickly slaughtered the group of Bloodthirsty Dragon Bats.

The Thunder Giant Dragon carried Song Ming down about five hundred meters. Under the light of the flare arrow, he finally saw the bottom of the pit.

It was actually a very spacious white jade plaza, with numerous white stone pillars adorned with exquisite reliefs standing at its edges.

The entire plaza shone brightly under the light.

Song Ming was somewhat surprised, not expecting this scene at the bottom of the pit.

However, the legendary Black Dragon did not appear on this plaza.

Song Ming steered the Thunder Giant Dragon to land in the center of the plaza, observed for a while, and was soon attracted by a huge archway emitting a soft glow.

The archway was built on the rock wall about ten meters above the ground.

Its surface was inlaid with ten night-luminescent pearls, each the size of a fist, and the soft glow was emitted by these ten pearls.

A jade staircase went straight up, connecting the plaza and the archway.

Song Ming recalled the Thunder Giant Dragon into his summoning space, then said to Ning Hua and Jiang Rong, "You two wait for me here for a moment, I'll be right back!"

With that, he left two Thunder Giant Dragons to guard the two women's safety.

He himself walked to the white jade steps and ascended towards the huge archway.

Entering the archway, inside was a long passage.

The four walls of the passage were all inlaid with night-luminescent pearls of various sizes, illuminating the entire passage as if it were daytime.

After passing through the long passage,

Song Ming's vision suddenly cleared, revealing a magnificent hall ahead.

It was twice as large as the white jade plaza outside.

In the four corners of the hall, gold, silver, and jewels were piled up like small mountains, reflecting dazzling light under the illumination of the flames.

Even a small amount taken outside would be enough to guarantee a common person a lifetime of food and clothing.

However, there was no trace of greed in Song Ming's eyes.

Firstly, these gold and silver treasures held no interest for him; if he wanted to, earning tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in wealth was effortless for him.

He still had tens of millions in his bank account that he hadn't used yet.

Furthermore, in a dungeon, unless it was loot dropped by killing monsters, nothing else could be taken out of the dungeon.

That is to say, even if all the treasures here were taken out, upon returning, they would automatically disappear, leaving nothing behind.

Song Ming merely glanced at these before averting his gaze.

In the center of the hall,

stood a throne made entirely of gold.

Upon the throne, a pitch-black Dragon lay.

Its eyes were tightly closed, seemingly in a deep sleep.

This Dragon's size was more than half smaller compared to other Dragons Song Ming had seen.

It was estimated to be only a few tens of meters.

But the pressure it exerted on Song Ming was incomparable to other Dragons.

Taking the Two-Headed Dragon he encountered earlier as an example, this Black Dragon could probably easily tear the Two-Headed Dragon to shreds.

Even the Rank 110 Thunder Giant Dragon might not last more than a few rounds before being defeated.
