Chapter 190: Dragon Valley (23)

The cave was pitch black and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of flowing water in the underground river.

For ordinary people, such an environment would be like something out of a horror movie. Moreover, Zhao Shuo was considered uninitiated among ordinary people; he was just an ordinary city college student.

But then he thought again, Zhao Shuo had completed several survival games on his own, and his survival ability should be the best among ordinary people, so Su Yue felt relieved.

Without the ambergris, they didn't know what would happen once they entered the cave, but considering Zhao Shuo's safety, it wasn't a big deal. Su Yue and Cang Zhi tacitly mobilized their divine power, a faint golden light surrounding them to form a protective shield. This level of divine power was actually beyond the standard, and Su Yue's neurotic alarm earring began to go crazy again.

Once the earring feels that Su Yue has used too much divine power, it will begin to sting Su Yue from time to time.

Normally, Su Yue could tolerate this earring, after all, it was just according to the rules. But recently he has been a little irritable, which might be because Zhao Shuo was in danger or because of the mess with Cang Zhi.

Su Yue frowned: "Don't scream!"

The earrings squeaked and fell silent.

Su Yue: "..."

He vaguely felt that he seemed to have suffered a lot of pain before, but he didn't have time to care about it now. He had entered this cave yesterday and was very familiar with the entrance. Just as the two were about to go inside, they suddenly heard a "plop" sound not far away, and a black shadow flashed past.

Su Yue and Cang Zhi looked at each other and were both shocked. They thought, oh no, they might bump into something they shouldn’t have as soon as they entered the cave.

The two of them were instantly on guard, and then they saw the dark figure staggering to his feet, uttering a grimacing sound: "...Ouch, this fall hurts so much."

Su Yue: "..."

Cang Zhi: “…”

Isn't this voice Zhao Shuo's?

They both immediately retracted their divine power, otherwise if Zhao Shuo saw two people with gold edges, there would be a big problem. Gods cannot reveal their identities in the game, and they will be regarded as violating the rules of the game and will be kicked out of the world directly.

But Su Yue was also cautious when he walked up. After all, there had been precedents of hallucinations in this cave. What if Zhao Shuo was actually an illusion and there was a monster named Lao Liu behind it? That would not be good.

Su Yue was just thinking about how to start when Zhao Shuo saw him and jumped up with his eyes shining: "Boss! Why are you here?"

"You haven't come out for a long time. We're all very worried." Su Yue heard Zhao Shuo call him "Boss" and his guard had dropped a little. He asked with concern, "Are you hurt? Let's go out first and talk later."

"I'm not hurt, luckily." Zhao Shuo was so tired that his teeth were bared, but he still managed to smile, "I didn't embarrass you, boss."

Although he claimed to be uninjured, Su Yue saw several bruises on his body and a swelling near his eye. The path deeper into the cave was indeed quite difficult for ordinary people.

Leaving the cave first can, on the one hand, isolate oneself from danger, and on the other hand, completely clear the suspicion that Zhao Shuo is an "illusion".

After walking out of the cave, Su Yue was completely sure that this was Zhao Shuo himself, because Zhao Shuo took the initiative to mention the "enhancing medicine" he took.

This is something outside the game. Even if the illusions in the game can pretend to be people they know, it is impossible for them to say things beyond their cognition.

At this point, Su Yue finally felt relieved.

It’s good that this is the real Zhao Shuo. Otherwise, if they were deceived by the illusion, it would be a small matter. The only thing is that if the real Zhao Shuo encounters danger and they don’t have time to save him, they will regret it for a long time.

"By the way, boss, I brought some tree fruits." Zhao Shuo rummaged through his pockets for a while and took out three tree fruits. The pink fruits were round and small, with skins so thin that they were almost transparent. A rich fragrance instantly came up.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise. Su Yue took the fruit from the tree and thought that Zhao Shuo's injuries were also caused by collecting the fruit.

While Su Yue was surprised, he also felt a sense of fear like an old father.

Su Yue: "Didn't I tell you to be careful? Why did you get yourself hurt?"

Zhao Shuo touched his head sheepishly and chuckled, "I remember that, Boss. I was very careful along the way and was ready to run away if anything went wrong."

"Why did it become like this?" Su Yue looked at Zhao Shuo's now disheveled appearance.

"Cough." Zhao Shuo coughed awkwardly twice. "I accidentally slipped on the way out, and I got like this when I got up. There's really nothing I can do about it."

Since Zhao Shuo came out safely without any injuries and brought back the fruit, Su Yue didn't bother with him. He patted Zhao Shuo on the shoulder and injected some divine power into Zhao Shuo's body without leaving any trace.

This amount of divine power will not have much impact on the human body, but it can make Zhao Shuo's injuries heal quickly, and he will not feel any discomfort in a day or two.

At this time, Su Yue and Zhao Shuo were walking in front, and Cang Zhi was a little behind, sensibly not interrupting their conversation. Zhao Shuo and Su Yue were talking about what they had seen in the cave.

"Oh, boss, I might have fainted." Zhao Shuo rubbed the bump on his forehead and said, "Why did I see you and Brother Cang glowing with gold just now?"

.

Sure enough, he saw the divine light surrounding Su Yue and Cang Zhi when they entered the cave.

Su Yue knew that he was too anxious at that time and would make mistakes. Now Zhao Shuo is no longer the kid who knew nothing when he first entered the game. Using the word "props" to fool him may not work, but as a god, he can only hide this matter from Zhao Shuo for both emotional and logical reasons.

His mind raced, and he immediately gave a nonchalant laugh, "Then you might have really fainted. The aroma in the cave is more or less hallucinogenic, and you were running so fast, so it's inevitable that you were dazzled for a moment."

"That's right." Zhao Shuo had no doubt about Su Yue's words and rubbed the bump on his forehead. "But you know what, the golden light I saw was pretty cool."

Su Yue: "..."

Isn’t it.

That is divine power after all.

This topic was too sensitive for Su Yue to discuss further. He was thinking about how to change the subject when his gaze shifted to the village in front of him and he paused.

There's no need to change the subject anymore.

The sky above the town was covered with dark clouds, and purple lightning was faintly visible whistling through the clouds.

Normally, in such weather, you should be unable to see anything except clouds, but now you can still clearly see a blood-red moon suspended between the dark clouds.

.

"Fuck." Zhao Shuo looked up and blurted out a curse, "Something's going to happen tonight."

Su Yue didn't say anything. He looked at the blood moon above his head and then looked towards the direction of the altar. Lightning was floating faintly in the clouds. If you look closely, you will find that the wandering lightning is all pointing in the same direction.

The Sky Pillar stood there, forming a huge black shadow in the night. Purple lightning branches and crackled around the Sky Pillar. Although it was far away, Su Yue could feel the restless and beating electric charges in the air.

He learned from the dragon boy that once the young dragon eggs buried under the pillar of heaven hatched, they would be able to purify the curse power in the dragon clan, and the incubation period of the dragon eggs was within these few days.

It now seems that the Duke is preparing to take the initiative and destroy the dragon egg.

It can be imagined that the dragon clan is a race with extremely strong vitality, so the Duke could only use magic to bury the dragon egg very deep, making it difficult to hatch and unable to be found by the Dragon God, but there was no way to completely destroy it.

But no matter how strong it is, it is just a dragon egg. Looking at the condensed clouds that are getting lower and lower in the sky above his head, and the lightning that is moving and jumping between the clouds, the Duke must be determined to destroy the dragon egg this time.

Even if we don't talk about the fact that the destruction of the dragon egg will lead to the failure of the dragon clan's escape mission, once the Dragon God finds out that the dragon egg has been destroyed, his anger value will immediately reach 100, and the game will be lost directly.

So the Duke's plan must be stopped today no matter what.

Su Yue touched his pocket and found three tree fruits lying there obediently. Cang Zhi had already come to his side, looking solemnly at the huge pillar of heaven on the hillside that was the focus of all eyes.

"The fruits can hatch dragon eggs." Su Yue casually picked up the three small fruits. The storm was coming, and the strong wind blew his hair into a mess, hitting his cheeks.

"Since we've come this far, let's just finish the task today."
