I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

The group finally shook off the ”sleep” and fully woke up.

But for some of the people inside,

it might have been better to just keep sleeping!

”This is so awkward, I want to find a hole to crawl into.”

”I’ll go first!”

”Why do you have to compete with me for everything?!”

”Fight, fight, fight!”

”I’m so bored, I’m hungry.”

”When the speed of the thruster increases to the fifth power, the filter and harmonizer complete a state of commonality, then add common particles for secondary smelting...”

”From my side view, Feng Ya is indeed the most spectacular, Siteng is not bad either, Shui Rou is slightly inferior, but she has the huge advantage of the Water Transformation Technique, and besides, this thing is mainly about the feel.”

Swish, swish, swish!

Everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned to Han Zhan.

He quietly withdrew his appraising gaze and turned his head forward.

As long as you’re not embarrassed, it’s others who are!

”Ahem.” Han Zhan cleared his throat and changed the subject. ”Why is everyone silent? Hasn’t anyone got a mouth?”

”In my opinion, the anomaly here should be the reason for the Dragon Horse’s slumber. We should quickly find it while we have clarity and wake it up,” Shang Siteng volunteered, agreeing.

”Wow, she’s so smart!”

”She’s deliberately showing off in front of Brother Zhan, how annoying!”

”I was a step too slow to help Lord Zhan in time. Alas, but he really cares about the Water Transformation Technique!”

”It seems Shang Siteng appears calm on the surface, but inside she’s probably panicking, so she deliberately speaks nonsense to keep her true thoughts from spreading. Isn’t the Dragon Horse’s resting place just straight ahead?”

Except for Han Zhan and Shang Siteng, the other four said nothing, yet it seemed like they had spoken.

The atmosphere was very awkward.

They could only quicken their pace, heading straight toward the center of the island.

Tu Housheng’s words enlightened everyone.

Only then did they realize why Han Zhan and Shang Siteng started talking.

As long as you speak, the consciousness bubbles in your mind won’t appear!

Upon discovering this,

the whole forest suddenly became lively again.

A lot of meaningless, pointless conversations, like ”the weather is nice today, the east wind is turning north,” began to pop up.

Sometimes, mindless talk indeed allows one to relax.

Relax... relax...

As they chatted, their eyelids began to droop again.

They quickly stopped the idle chatter, brainstorming intense topics in their minds, each consciousness bubble reappearing, dispelling the drowsiness.

In response, Han Zhan summarized:

”So if you don’t want to fall into slumber, you must continuously have shocking consciousness bubbles as a stimulant.”

”Constant conversation can halt the production of consciousness bubbles, but over time you’ll still fall asleep again.”

”We all have our own secrets; if consciousness bubbles spread unchecked, once we’re out of here, we might not ever want to see anyone again.”

”Moreover, not every consciousness bubble can dispel drowsiness; they must be shocking and interesting enough.”

Han Zhan spoke as quickly as possible.

He looked at the others and voiced his thoughts.

”This sleep curse, let’s just call it that, I have a way to deal with it.”

”We each continue chatting, but periodically someone must fall silent and release their consciousness bubble to dispel drowsiness.”

”This way, the amount of thoughts and secrets each person exposes will be minimized, and there won’t be simultaneous multiple people exposing themselves and causing waste.”

This plan is great!

Everyone brightened at this idea.

The island is large, and it’s unclear how long it will take to reach the central area.

If everyone were constantly exposing themselves, they’d surely be left with nothing.

To avoid embarrassment and maintain their dignity, they unanimously approved this plan.

”Then, let me go first.”

As the proposer, Han Zhan naturally volunteered to go first.

So the six of them continued to speed up while engaging in pointless conversation.

Until drowsiness struck again, Han Zhan’s head produced a consciousness bubble just in time.

:”My average duration is two minutes.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Ya, Shui Rou, and Shang Siteng instantly felt awake.

Huo Lie and Tu Housheng also snapped back to alertness with a knowing smile.

A real man isn’t afraid of embarrassment!

Han Zhan calmly waved to everyone, ”I was talking about breath-holding duration. Why are you stunned? Keep moving!”

...

Using Han Zhan’s method,

they walked for about another hour.

After collecting a few unknown secrets from each person,

they finally reached the central area of the island.

There they saw the curled up, slumbering Ancient Divine Beast, the Dragon Horse!

Looking from an aerial perspective and seeing it up close are two completely different feelings.

Only when truly near it can you understand how truly colossal it is!

Its body alone connects into a mountain range, seeming like a thick, endless wall, blocking the road.

Its dense, light yellow mane reflects into golden hues under the light.

Further up, the horse-like long neck is covered in dragon scales just like the Evil Dragon seen before.

The dragon scales are also golden, subtly rising and falling with the Dragon Horse’s breathing as it sleeps, expanding and closing.

The enormous dragon head rests on the ground, its eyes shut, much larger than a starship, breathing through cave-like nostrils.

It was the first time anyone had been so close to such a huge creature, and they were silent for a moment.

Now that they’ve found the Dragon Horse, what should they do next?

How can they awaken it?

At that moment, the closest Huo Lie’s head suddenly started bubbling, consciousness bubbles bursting out uncontrollably.

This time the consciousness bubbles weren’t popped but were instead all swallowed by the sleeping Dragon Horse.

Huo Lie was caught off guard, his brain turning into mush, dizzy.

However, even after consuming a large number of consciousness bubbles, the Dragon Horse showed no signs of waking up.

”Is that it?” Huo Lie shook his head, staggering to steady himself.

”It swallowed so many of my consciousness bubbles, yet there’s no reaction!”

Just as Huo Lie finished speaking,

the sleeping Dragon Horse suddenly opened its huge mouth.

”Burp——”

A thunderous belch turned into a gust of wind, leaving Huo Lie dizzy and disoriented.
