Chapter 174: Dragon Valley (6)
The players' quarters were a circular ring of rooms within the inner castle, with ample space for one to three people to share, allowing them to live next to each other or spaced apart. Players who preferred to stay together could do so, while others, more solitary, lived far away. Su Yue, Cang Zhi, and Zhao Shuo naturally chose the same room, and the Duke distributed the keys to them.
"I'll remind everyone again: don't look out the window after dark." The Duke smiled, revealing his sharp white teeth. "Otherwise, you might see something bad."
"Can we go for a walk now?" someone asked.
"The moon has risen, it's best not to go out and take risks." The Duke continued to smile.
This means a polite refusal. In fact, if you really have to go out, it is not impossible, but no one dares to take the risk now. After all, no one understands the goals and mechanisms of the game. The result of being too presumptuous is basically an unclear death.
The Duke was very satisfied to see that everyone was cooperating. Before leaving, he reminded them again not to look outside at night and to be careful of the dragon god's attacks. Also, he would come to find people to collect new fruits early tomorrow morning, so interested explorers should make preparations in advance.
.
After the Duke left.
Su Yue and his group returned to the room.
The walls of the room were tightly wrapped with black paper, and I felt very uncomfortable as soon as I entered. If there were no lights, the oppression would be so severe that it would make me feel suffocated.
Not to mention that the Duke doesn't allow us to look outside, even if he allows us to look outside, we can't see anything from here.
"Boss, are you planning to pick fruit tomorrow?" Zhao Shuo asked.
"Yeah." Su Yue nodded. He could imagine that everyone would fight tomorrow in order to avoid picking fruit from the trees. In order to avoid fighting, he would just go alone. Moreover, he really wanted to know what was so strange about the place where they picked fruit from the trees.
Zhao Shuo was about to ask something else when there was a sudden loud noise in the sky outside. Everyone was very familiar with this scene after a day. It was the angry Dragon God throwing fireballs and rocks down again.
"Ah!" Zhao Shuo suddenly remembered, "Shouldn't the three of us take turns keeping watch? Otherwise, if a fireball comes down, we'll all be dead."
"That makes sense." Su Yue said, making a "follow me" gesture to Zhao Shuo, "Let's go check where the fireball landed. Ah Zhi, please check the safety of this room first."
Cang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then he understood and nodded.
.
Su Yue pulled Zhao Shuo out mainly to give Cang Zhi enough time to arrange his divine power and use it to protect the room. This is much simpler than having three people take turns to keep watch and have to run over if something happens.
He did not communicate this matter clearly with Cangzhi, but he hinted at it before leaving, and it seemed that Cangzhi understood it.
They were partners after all, and one could even say they were on the same page.
Only Zhao Shuo was confused, and asked Su Yue why he came out to see all this. Su Yue just gave him a perfunctory answer, and at the same time, he was once again surprised to feel Zhao Shuo's growth. This kid seemed quite easily frightened at the beginning, but he transformed so quickly and is now very mature.
Soon it got darker and some soldiers began to patrol. Seeing Su Yue and Zhao Shuo standing outside, they drove them back in a fierce manner.
Fortunately, by the time they returned, Cang Zhi had already arranged for the room's protection, and Su Yue could sense the divine power flowing from afar. Even Zhao Shuo, who didn't understand the existence of gods, seemed to sense the divine power and repeatedly praised Su Yue for the comforting feeling in the room.
After entering the room and closing the door, Su Yue never went out again. After all, the Duke said that if you look outside at night, bad things might happen.
However, after sitting in the room for a while, Su Yue found a stick and with a "swish", he poked open the black paper pasted on the window.
He needed more information, even if it meant putting him in danger. He had divine power anyway. Unless the Dragon God saw the hole in the window and had a mysophobia attack and his anger reached 100, destroying the world, he should be able to deal with anything else.
Su Yue looked out through the hole in the window paper.
Don't be too particular
.
It was already dark outside, the moon hung high in the sky, the whole town was asleep, everything was silent, not even a light could be seen.
But there is one bright spot.
It is the place where the group of people in black gather, the so-called "altar".
At this moment, a huge flame was burning in the middle of the altar. The flame was as tall as a person. People in black robes were dancing around the flame in a very strange way, as if they were practicing some kind of evil belief.
After dancing for a while, Su Yue suddenly noticed that two more people appeared silently in the darkness. These two people were carrying a long package wrapped in black cloth like a stretcher.
Su Yue's pupils shrank slightly.
He recognized at a glance that the shape of the package was 99% certain to be a corpse.
As for the identity of the corpse, Su Yue didn't want to guess, but he could probably guess it.
Two men in black robes carried the corpse to the side of the fire. Then something even stranger happened. They took off the black cloth wrapped around the corpse and threw the corpse directly into the fire!
The flames rose in an instant, reaching a somewhat strange level. The corpse fell into the fire and seemed to be burned up in an instant. Su Yue didn't see anything, but saw evil black shadows gradually appear among the flames. Those black shadows were not clear, like the claws of evil spirits.
The people in black robes danced more happily around the flames.
If this was a "bad thing," then it was indeed very strange. Su Yue had initially felt that these black-robed people were not decent people, and now that a corpse had been thrown into the fire and they were dancing around it, it seemed completely wrong.
The next second, something happened that made Su Yue's pupils tremble.
This group of men in black were dancing happily when they suddenly started to take off their clothes. In the blink of an eye, they had all taken off their clothes until nothing was left.
Amid the crackling and popping sounds of the flames, the black-robed people staggered and hugged each other, two by two, or even more people in a group. So many people just lay down like that, as if they were having a chaotic and debauched dream, doing shameful things right around the flames, oblivious to the people around them!
Su Yue was completely dumbfounded.
Grass? ? ?
What’s going on???
He originally thought that the situation of collecting fruit from the trees was unclear and the villagers had no way to communicate, so he had to see what the Duke didn't allow them to see, otherwise there would be no way to break the deadlock.
What the hell is this???
The Valley of the Dragon or the Valley of XX???
.
Cang Zhi saw Su Yue was silent for a long time and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Is there anything wrong?"
He was worried about Su Yue and came over to take a look.
Su Yue: "..."
He finally came back to his senses from the shock and thought, this kind of scene really can't be allowed to be seen by the Lord God.
In a hurry, Su Yue turned around quickly, covered Cang Zhi's eyes with his hands, and said seriously: "You can't look at it, there are bad things in it."
Cang Zhi:?
