Chapter 1721
Sky pinched his nose and muttered, “How long has it been since a human was last here?”
James said, “The last dragon-slaying expedition was more than 1300 years ago. Since this is the middle of the ocean, I’d reckon there hasn’t been any human presence around these parts for a millennium. Let’s scout around for now. There should be signs of the dragon’s activities if it’s still alive.”
Sky scanned his surroundings. There were no signs of any life in this desolate place.
“This way.” James pointed at a path before them and headed in its direction.
Soon, they found the skeletal remains of some unknown creatures on the ground. Some remains were intact, while the others were completely scattered.
“Huh?”
James momentarily froze before asking, “Why would there be so many skeletal remains in these desolate parts of the island?”
Sky crouched down and scrutinized the remains, saying, “These skeletal remains do not belong to a human being. They look like they belong to some sort of macrofauna. But did we come across any animal as big as this on our way here? Besides, why are there so many skeletons here?”
James lifted his head and looked at the stone wall before him, where there was a wilderness of weeds in its surroundings. However, no skeletal remains could be found beyond the stone wall.
He leaped past the stone wall and scanned his surroundings. Immediately, he could see footprints on the ground. Although they were barely discernible, James could still recognize them.
“Sky, over here!” he yelled.
Sky appeared beside James in the blink of an eye and asked, “What’s wrong?”
James pointed at the ground and said, “Look, footprints! Besides, look at the grass over here. They seemed to have been stepped upon by some sort of creature.”
Sky scrutinized the footprints and nodded, “Indeed… Could something be living here?”
James scanned his surroundings. At that moment, he spotted a cavern beneath the stone wall. The entrance was barely noticeable. However, the weed in its surroundings had been removed. Someone or something seemed to be passing through here frequently.
