Chapter 180: Dragon Valley (12)
"This is not good." Cangzhi rarely raised objections to Su Yue's decision.
He looked at Su Yue's expression carefully, including the slightly red area behind his ears and neck, and his eyes that were a little too bright.
Cang Zhi said, "You don't look very well. I don't recommend you eat the fruit from this tree now."
"I was indeed poisoned." Su Yue said.
He raised his hand, signaling Cang Zhi to stop talking, "The poison in the cave was..."
In the end, Su Yue didn't reveal that he was poisoned by an aphrodisiac. After all, for a god, such a poison would be a bit unrefined. "Well, it's a more complicated poison, not life-threatening. I'm not in a good state right now, so I might as well eat this thing first, and we can solve any problems together."
Cang Zhi frowned.
Obviously he did not agree with Su Yue's statement, but this time he did not refute it.
It has always been like this, Su Yue makes the decisions between the two of them.
Even if Cangzhi did not agree with Su Yue's decision, he would not raise any objections.
"Okay." Cang Zhi said, "I will protect you."
.
Su Yue and Cang Zhi returned to the rest room and drew the curtains.
The black curtains tightly blocked out the light from outside the window. The room was as dark as night. Even the faces of each other could not be seen clearly, only vague outlines.
Cang Zhi spread his divine power in the room. Here, his power was also restricted. However, in terms of the strength of the divine power, Cang Zhi was stronger than Su Yue. After all, he was the main god, so he could use more divine power under restrictions.
Su Yue thought about it and locked himself in the bathroom. He was not sure what would happen after eating the fruit. In the best case, he might feel severe pain all over his body and have a poisoning reaction. In the worst case, he was afraid that eating a fruit would directly activate his divine power and blow up the building. If he was in the bathroom, Cang Zhi could suppress him as much as possible, and the enclosed and narrow space could minimize the occurrence of accidents.
"I'll bring you some bedding," Cang Zhi said, "and cover the sharp edges."
Su Yue thought about it and agreed. He was just a mortal now, and he would probably get hurt if he bumped into anything, so he agreed with Cang Zhi's suggestion.
After wrapping the sharp corners of the bathroom with a quilt and wrapping himself in another quilt, Su Yue closed the bathroom door. Such a small and dim space made him feel a little uncomfortable, but the poison in his body was burning like boiling water, which actually reduced other discomforts a lot.
Cangzhi was standing outside the door, and Suyue could vaguely see his shadow, which made Suyue feel at ease.
He took out the fruit from his pocket. The small fruit was pink and plump. He hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of all his divine defenses and ate the fruit.
.
The fruit tasted surprisingly good, sweet and sour and juicy, but the flesh had almost no texture, like biting into a cloud of fog.
After eating the fruit, Su Yue felt a strong dizziness, which was within his expectations. The books said that the fruit "stores memories", so it can be imagined that it is a spiritual fruit. Su Yue slowly sat down against the wall, letting the gradually surging perception in his mind that did not belong to him take away his consciousness.
There was a strange fluctuation in his vision.
It's like looking out of the porthole of a submarine. The world is swaying in a rhythmic wave. Your vision is covered with a thin layer of color, as if a layer of rose-colored film is covering your eyes, and everything looks light red.
His sight revealed a rugged landscape, with countless stalagmites protruding from the ground and intersecting with stone beams, forming a natural palace. The terrain here seemed familiar to Su Yue, but being in the sight of others made his mind a little confused. It took him a while to realize that this was the underwater palace he had seen in the cave where the fruit tree grew.
But it was much wider than what he had seen, like a huge cavity in the mountain. Su Yue couldn't control his gaze, but his vision was moving forward.
It looks like the host of the memory is slowly moving forward.
The light in front of him was very dim, but because of the thin layer of rose color covering his vision, the darkest corners were outlined quite clearly. On the left and right, in Su Yue's sight, he saw a huge skeleton.
Those skeletons were obviously not human. He saw the huge and strong thorax, the wing bones extending from the spine, and the long, thorny tail.
The bones did not belong to the same skeleton; they were different colors and clearly of different ages.
Some of the bones are still white, while others have been corroded by wind and sand and turned gray and yellow.
This is obviously the skeleton of a dragon.
So why did the host of the memory come to the dragon clan’s cemetery?
The sight is still looking forward. The bones of the dragon clan are scattered all over the ground, some of which have moss growing on them. There is an underground river flowing through the cave, and the rippling water can be seen in the sight. The environment is very humid.
Besides the pools, dragon bones, and rocks, there was actually soil here. The soil was a rich, oily black, as if the dragon skeletons would turn to soil over time, nourishing the earth.
Su Yue's gaze stopped in front of an open space, and then, after a brief pause, the height of his gaze slowly dropped as if he was sitting on a shaky and descending machine.
Until it is level with the ground.
Until this point, Su Yue was still wondering who could have come to such a secret and dangerous place, but at this moment, his doubts were resolved.
One could even say that his thoughts stopped for a moment.
Because in the pool facing Su Yue, he clearly saw the face of a dragon reflected in the water.
.
This is a very old dragon. You can tell from the condition of the scales and spines on its head. The scales have turned grayish white, and the dragon's pupils are deep red, as beautiful as giant gems.
No wonder everything in its sight is covered with rose color when looking out from its pupils.
So this is the burial place of the dragon clan.
This dragon was probably nearing old age, so it came to the dragon clan's cemetery alone, ready to face death here.
Just when Su Yue thought that the memory would end like this, a change he did not expect occurred.
The dragon stood up again, waded across the pool unsteadily, and continued forward. Su Yue suddenly smelled a very familiar, rich, sweet fragrance. He knew very well that it was the smell of tree fruit.
Because he had switched to the dragon's perspective, Su Yue could clearly see that there were many pink spores flowing with the breeze in the cave. Those spores carried the rich sweet fragrance of tree fruits, even stronger than what Su Yue had smelled in the cave before. Perhaps it was because the dragon clan had a stronger reaction to this kind of tree fruit.
At the end of the cave is another cave connected by stone beams. The dragon looks very tired. It lies down on this side of the cave, but it can see the opposite side, so Su Yue can also see it clearly.
Su Yue was even more familiar with this picture.
The huge fruits were even bigger than the ones Su Yue had seen in the tree hole just now. They were pink in color and had an intoxicating fragrance in the dark cave, showing a primitive and instinctive beauty.
Su Yue saw dragons, younger than the one he was reading about, entwining their necks in the cave, wings intertwined, roaring softly as if they were drunkenly making love.
It was too dark here, and Su Yue saw mostly silhouettes. If he had seen it in person, it would have been nothing more than a documentary about "Into Nature." But perhaps because the memory he had read belonged to a fellow dragon, he could sense the primal, instinctive, and blood-stirring desire that permeated the tree hollow as the young dragons mated in the cave.
