1744 Illusion
Speaking of which, Zi Chen had been silent for a long ti. Even when she was at the God-Killing Tumulus and t with such a huge matter, Zi Chen didn’t really respond.
He was usually a man with few words, and he wouldn’t co out unless it was crucial. Chu Liuyue was long used to it, but she didn’t expect hin to have so movents now.
“I’m fine,” replied Zi Chen after detecting her shock.
His voice was as low and hoarse as usual, but this wasn’t Chu Liuyue’s first day of knowing him. Besides, they had an agreent, so Zi Chen’s every thought could not be hidden from Chu Liuyue.
“…Is it because of that dragon moan?” Chu Liuyue tried to ask.
Zi Chen was silent for a mont before answering, “En.”
His answer was brief and direct, but it made Chu Liuyue furrow her brows. She then thought for a mont and suddenly recalled sothing. “Your wings!”
Zi Chen’s body has two great phoenix dragon wing bones! Could it be because of this that…
“That dragon moan ca from the great phoenix dragon’s first ancestor, so it has such strong summoning power,” explained Zi Chen.
However, Chu Liuyue’s expression turned strange. Actually, the mont Zi Chen spoke, she guessed the reason behind this entire incident.
Zi Chen has two wing bones in his body and has even rged with that corpse’s purest strength. When he heard the ancestor’s summoning, the great phoenix dragon’s bloodline power hidden in Zi Chen’s body was affected as well.
It is very simple and can be thought of very easily, but the key is… What exactly is happening?! Zi Chen is a legendary three-eyed eagle! If he is to be related to an ancient legendary fiend, it should be the red-gold heavenly phoenixes! He has nothing to do with the great phoenix dragons, yet he could sense the great phoenix dragon ancestor’s summons because he has rged with that bloodline power. T-this is totally—
Detecting that Chu Liuyue’s expression was amiss, Rong Xiu squinted his eyes slightly. “Yue’er, what’s wrong?”
Chu Liuyue took a deep breath. After so thinking, she still chose to tell Rong Xiu about this.
Even though it sounded very strange, they had to be even more careful in other people’s territory.
When Rong Xiu heard it, he was dazed for a mont. Then, a faint light flashed across those deep phoenix-like eyes.
Chu Liuyue’s head ached terribly. She massaged her temples and didn’t notice his slight change in expression.
“It’s just two wing bones and so bloodline power. I don’t think it has much of an impact,” comforted Rong Xiu with a smile. “In this world, there are quite a few legendary fiends with similar bloodline powers, but they’re still different.”
Chu Liuyue nodded.
She was most worried that the incident would develop toward an unpredictable outco.
The rging of the two wing bones with Zi Chen’s body, including the bloodline power, was akin to hiding a landmine. Chu Liuyue was terrified that he would explode. Of course, this was only her guess.
Just like Rong Xiu had said, Zi Chen had only rged this bloodline power. But in the end, he was still a legendary three-eyed eagle.
There shouldn’t be… much of an impact, Chu Liuyue thought to herself silently.
“Zi Chen, are you really okay?” Chu Liuyue was worried and asked again.
Zi Chen said he was fine.
Chu Liuyue then gradually let her guard down.
She had spent a lot of effort to help Zi Chen reform his physical body. She definitely didn’t want Zi Chen to be implicated because of those two wing bones.
After confirming that Zi Chen was normal, Chu Liuyue retracted her thoughts and continued to delve deeper into the cave with Rong Xiu.
…
The depths of this cave had long exceeded Chu Liuyue’s initial estimation. Originally, she thought that it was an ordinary twisty cave, but as she walked, she realized that she was too naive.
This cave was really very deep! No, perhaps she should say that it was filled with twists and turns!
Walking inside, the path was either spacious or narrow, and there would be a curve every few steps.
After so ti, it was easy to confuse soone, and they might not even be able to orientate themselves.
Chu Liuyue didn’t have such problems; she had always been outstanding in this aspect, so such a path wasn’t difficult for her. Hence, she quickly realized that they seed to be turning around in this piece of land.
The bright light shone in as Chu Liuyue looked at her surroundings.
This place was already very far from the cave. However, there seed to be more scratches on the walls.
In actual fact, during their journey over, there seed to be such marks on the surrounding caves. From ti to ti, there would also be old and dried bloodstains.
Chu Liuyue looked calm, but she beca increasingly shocked. Back then, the great phoenix dragon locked in here must’ve suffered a painful tornt before it died! Even after so many years, the strong vengeance and mania that ca from the bottom of its heart causes one to be taken aback.
Chu Liuyue’s mood beca unwittingly heavy.
During this process, Zi Chen’s body didn’t have the previous commotion in the dantian again.
The two of them silently walked forward. After about an hour, they stopped.
“We were just here,” Chu Liuyue recovered her senses and said lightly.
Rong Xiu nodded. “It seems like the person back then was also stuck here and couldn’t go out.”
Chu Liuyue surveyed her surroundings.
They had been walking for a long ti here, but they seed to be going in circles.
“This is actually an illusion…” muttered Chu Liuyue softly.
When she ca in, she didn’t notice it at all! This illusion was too real, causing people to be unable to differentiate between what was real and fake!
Chu Liuyue turned around to take a look.
The path was deep and silent. They seed to be… unable to get out!
