closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pitch-black scale larger than a palm, with unusually sharp edges and a metallic sheen on its surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s definitely not an Earth Dragon scale; if it’s a dragon scale, it must be from a true Giant Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De also picked up a giant tooth, with a natural curve, just like a Short Knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were many such things around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more astonishing, in the center of these stone tablets was a complete skeleton—indeed, it was a dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon seemed to have died while digging, its claws still deeply embedded in the rock wall, its skull facing the dirt below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a dog digging a hole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Curious, Luo De dug into the soil inside and found a green Crystal Stone the size of a baby’s fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such a large Life Gem?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s eyes widened with immense joy in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder this dragon wanted to dig up this land; there are such treasures here!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De immediately reached out to take the Life Gem, and as soon as he touched it, he felt a gentle energy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De hadn’t even absorbed it yet, but the energy was already overflowing, entering and nourishing his body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a great treasure!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De wanted to lift it up with force, but found it immovable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly dug out the soil beside it, discovering that the gemstone was set into a stone plate below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De was determined to take this stone out, but this altar-like place was unclear, and he didn’t want to destroy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The extraordinary gemstones on the ceiling were enough to restore Life Force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Luo De was now even more curious about where this place was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even ordinary Giant Dragons are considered advanced Magical Beasts, so how did they die here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How terrifying must the thing that hunted them be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De sighed inwardly, then came to his senses, waving his hand,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gather all these things around and take them away.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time had passed long, yet these things showed no signs of decay and looked like treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hunting Team took out bags and started to pack the items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon was still outside, not daring to enter the cave hall, only pacing at the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you evolve here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon nodded its head up and down, giving a positive response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what are you afraid of?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De was even more puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had already come in once and evolved here, yet now it’s afraid again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait a minute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De suddenly realized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The evolution of the giant serpent might have activated something here, creating some terrifying creature?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone be careful, something’s not right in here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De cautioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hunters carefully picked up the items on the ground, trying not to touch the stone tablets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De and the White Wolf carefully observed the surroundings but still saw nothing unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, let’s pry off these gemstones and get out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De couldn’t let the Earth Dragon’s fear make him abandon these extraordinary gemstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was nearly four meters high, beyond the reach of an average person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come in, I need you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De beckoned to the Earth Dragon, \"I command you, come in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stern order frightened the Earth Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It hesitated for a moment, deciding that Luo De was more terrifying, and eventually moved its claws gingerly, stepping into the cave hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the moment it stepped into the hall, the ground suddenly shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubble fell from the ceiling, clanking against the Frost Iron Guard’s shoulders and helmets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon behind let out a terrified low growl, quickly retreating two steps, making the cave instantly quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De couldn’t help but laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning back to look at the Earth Dragon, he said slowly, \"So this place was set specifically for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon shrank its neck fearfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, what did you take from here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon shook its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De doubted, questioning, \"If you didn’t take something from here, why would the mechanisms and traps be aimed at you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon hesitated, then pointed at the gemstones on the ground and at its mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying you stole and ate the extraordinary gemstones here, so you were marked?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De frowned; in that case, did they discover these items for nothing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurry up and move all the beast bones and scales out, quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De commanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Hunters sped up their actions, and the Frost Iron Guards moved forward to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because too much time had passed, the bones inside the cave were also very fragile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would shatter into bone dust just by holding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These shouldn’t be of any good use anymore, better to give up on such bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the remaining ones, all the still-hard bones were taken away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After half a day’s work, the entire cave hall was cleared out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De called the White Wolf to his side, \"Come, help me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Wolf walked over to Luo De’s side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay alert.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De jumped directly onto the White Wolf’s back, raised the Ashbringer, aimed at a Life Gem above him, and exerted force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ashbringer easily sliced through the rock, extracting the Life Gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Clap!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s eyes were quick and he grabbed the Life Gem, vigilantly observing the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cave was silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tremor from before did not occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De frowned and looked at the Earth Dragon,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you fooling me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon felt Luo De’s pressure and quickly shook its head vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then what was that about?\" Luo De asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon hesitated for a moment, then pointed at its mouth with its claw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you eat an Extraordinary Gem?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De looked at the Life Gem in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating it is impossible, maybe try absorbing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De had to first get all these gems out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With patience, Luo De stood on the White Wolf’s back and extracted each gem one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thirty-three Extraordinary Gems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All extracted, and the previous scenario still hadn’t happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De could no longer be bothered with anything else, and extracted all the gems from the stone tablet too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of forty-five, including the fist-sized Life Gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After doing all this, there was nothing in the cave worth lingering for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De tried to absorb a regular Life Gem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Warm energy flowed into his body, making Luo De feel as if he was soaking in a hot spring, he sighed comfortably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the light of the Life Gem in his hand dimmed, Luo De felt refreshed, his whole body relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the odd sound in the cave still hadn’t happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What exactly did you swallow?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De stared at the Earth Dragon, growing even more curious, \"It looks similar to these Extraordinary Gems, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De squinted his eyes in thought, then suddenly realized,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you swallow a Dragon Crystal?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De pinched the scales on the Earth Dragon’s face,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you eat an irregular crystal, similar to these gems, shining with a sparkling light, but with sharp edges and cloudy fumes inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Earth Dragon seemed a bit dumbfounded, blankly nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wasteful extravagance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De couldn’t help but let out a mournful howl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Crystals are much more advanced than Extraordinary Gems!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only do Dragon Crystals contain energy, but also inherited knowledge, they are full of the Giant Dragon’s essence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De felt quite helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder this creature could evolve into an Earth Dragon directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turns out it was all due to the Dragon Crystal—must be a Gemstone Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De stared at the Earth Dragon, trying to comfort himself, thinking that since the low-level Magical Beast wasn’t burst from it, maybe the Dragon Crystal wasn’t whole.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even if it was, the Earth Dragon probably hasn’t fully absorbed it yet and can still evolve in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De exhaled a long breath and calmed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to look at the cave hall again, thoughts racing through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since that’s the case, then what was it that made the Earth Dragon afraid?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Luo De took out another Life Gem and held it in his hand to absorb it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later, a system prompt appeared:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Absorbed a small amount of Power of Life, body’s basic Life Force increased by 5% (Natural lifespan estimated to increase by 6 years)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The increase in natural lifespan meant that Luo De’s Life Force was already restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sacrifice ability of Lord of Nature had been activated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De waved to the Earth Dragon, commanding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go in.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De’s presence made the Earth Dragon not dare to hesitate, it followed Luo De’s command and entered the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tremors resounded once more, and the surrounding gravel floated,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground in the cave’s center began to rise, with soil and stones being pushed to the sides, quickly converging together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orange-yellow light shone in the cave, and a figure formed of gravel and soil appeared within it,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You despicable thief, return my heart core to me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The angry roar echoed through the cave, yet it couldn’t scare Luo De at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo De couldn’t help but laugh, looking at the figure in front of him with great interest—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dragon made of gravel, but only the size of a pet dog.\u003C\u002Fp>",1615,"2026-05-30T15:19:45.195Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","450aa6fa588642e11f08be6eb65e5e88afc41236f3f0388855f363bf8ebde0b8","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-456","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-454",776,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-cover.jpg"]
