We stared at the Beautiful Flood Dragon with all our might, and she opened her eyes and scanned the area around us. Behind her, we heard the sound of rustling wood. Moments later, the tip of her tail appears in front of us. The torch that I threw away is still burning. As expected of a pine tree.
The Beautiful Flood Dragon said something that surprised us greatly: "Who said that?"
My head was pounding, but a man was brave enough to take responsibility. I stood up and said, "It's me."
When the Beautiful Flood Dragon heard me, she immediately stood up. Her face was just a foot away from me, so much so that I could feel her breath on my nose. The guy was bigger than I'd expected, and I was only as big as her nose.
The Beautiful Flood Dragon actually looked at me and smiled, then said: "Are you not afraid that I will eat you? He actually dares to stand out. "
I began to talk nonsense again. Beauties do not eat humans, and a man dares to take responsibility. "
The Beautiful Flood Dragon suddenly laughed out loud: "Haha, you dare to do such a thing, you better know, I can crush you to death with my little finger. Interesting, really interesting... So, let's play a game. I'll give you three choices, one of which is the true contents of the contract. If you're wrong, I'll let you guys go. There's only one chance! "
I turned back to look at Master. Master spread out his hands indicating that there was no better way. I had to bite the bullet and say, "Okay, it's a deal, but I want to know if the person you're contracted with is the Substitute King?"
The Beautiful Flood Dragon suddenly quieted down after I asked. After a while, she said, "I can only tell you, it's not him."
This answer surprised me. Could it be that he wasn't signing a contract with her on behalf of the King? Who could it be? The Beautiful Flood Dragon continued: "Listen carefully! "First, life; second, soul; and third, time."
When we heard these three answers, we were all dumbfounded. How can we guess?! I turned my head and said, "Master, if you have any other hidden achievements, tell me about them. Perhaps you might be able to find the answer."
His Master said with a bitter face, "I don't know much about that. The major event is only his ascension and development of the dynasty …" "Oh right, I heard from Master that he once fell in love with a woman, but for some reason, he couldn't be together. His only son was born from that woman."
I asked, "It's not that she died in childbirth."
His Master shook her head and said, "No, she didn't die. More accurately, she went missing."
I looked at the Beautiful Flood Dragon sitting far away. She just looked at us quietly, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes. I was about to ask her something, but she said first, "Don't talk. If it's not the answer, then don't talk."
Man, I asked my master, "What happened to the king's son?"
His Master thought for a moment and said, "After the construction of the Substitute King Tomb, he also disappeared. Rumor has it that he was secretly murdered by the new King, I don't know the actual situation."
Hidden damage? If we don't die here, will we meet his ghost when we go in? For a moment, none of us spoke. Everyone silently pondered. The flames above us would snap after a while, as if counting down to us.
I just sit on the ground and watch the flames shake, watch, watch... The flame seemed to have a life of its own as a hand beckoned to me. I immediately stood up and called for Treading on Snow to fly up. There was indeed a scroll in the middle of the flame. It was lying quietly on the ground. As if possessed, I reached into the fire to grab the scroll. The flames struck ferociously, but in the instant of contact, they turned into a twister. The scroll isn't hot and I easily pull it out.
Returning to the ground, Wei Wu couldn't wait to grab the scroll and see what was inside, but he immediately screamed and threw it back at his, "So hot, so hot …"
When Master saw that my eyes weren't right, he signaled everyone not to move. I slowly opened the scroll. Inside was a painting. A girl dressed in fine clothes was holding a baby in her arms. How could the look in this girl's eyes be so familiar? This baby, this baby …
When I saw the baby clearly, my mind buzzed as I understood. I walked a few steps towards the Beautiful Flood Dragon and said, "Time."
The Beautiful Flood Dragon's body trembled, but she did not say anything.
I completely opened the scroll and showed it to the Beautiful Flood Dragon. "This is you. The Substitute King did not break the contract. He has always loved you. "
The Beautiful Flood Dragon waved her hand, and the scroll appeared in her grasp. She caressed the portrait and asked: "How do you know that he did not break the contract?"
I pointed to the portrait and said, "That painting. He didn't paint himself because he used all his effort to draw you two, that is, he had you in him."
The Beautiful Flood Dragon suddenly cried. She held the painting tightly in her hands and said: "He promised me that he would accompany me his entire life. But where is he now?"
I sighed and said, "He did it. Look …" I pointed to the brazier above me and said, "He... There he has been with you ever since he made his own body into fuel. "
The Beautiful Flood Dragon opened her eyes wide and stood up, looking at the brazier, suddenly she held the brazier with both hands and swallowed all the fuel and fire. In an instant, flames enveloped her entire body. She did not struggle, but smiled from within the flames. It was a smile of satisfaction and gratification. The flames suddenly dimmed, and the Beautiful Flood Dragon also turned into countless bubbles. Only the faint glow from the slowly descending portrait reminded me that this was not an illusion.
My heart ached. This wasn't the first time, but it was a pain I had never felt before in real life. I slowly walked over to pick up the portrait and found that there was another person on it, a man. He smiled affectionately as he embraced the woman.
I turned around and showed everyone the portrait. "Look, this is our first quest item."
Hua Yu wiped her tears and said, "Big Brother, how do you know the answer?"
I smiled and said, "Look, this child's foot is a snake's tail."
Li Shuai looked and still did not understand and asked: "Just based on this?"
I nodded without saying anything. After keeping the scroll, I stepped onto the giant dragon's tongue. When I walked to the middle of the dragon's body, I discovered that my legs had suddenly become soft. I squatted down and touched the ground with my hands. It felt really soft. I'll pull it out. I forcefully stabbed down with my sword, causing blood to splatter in all directions. Fortunately, I was able to dodge fast enough to not splash onto my body.
Wei Wu was just mumbling to himself a moment ago that they did not start a fight, but now, seeing my movements, he immediately shouted out loud in excitement, "What monster!?! Come out and fight with me!?
Chang Bai laid on the ground, laughing out loud. He said, "This is not some monster, it's a type of fungus, which the ancient people call 'age'. Its meat is snow-white, and it tastes delicious. A liquid red like blood is also called a meat lingzhi. "
I had heard of this stuff before and had seen it on the internet, but I had never eaten it before. So I used my sword to dig out a large piece to shake off the juice. He put the liquid into his pocket and said, "I'm not hungry right now. I'll have a taste when I'm hungry later."
Ahh!" Flower Rain cried out and leapt onto my back. I was about to say something, but then she discovered something horrifying. I didn't know when, but a lot of ants around a foot long had gathered around the dragon's tongue.
I shouted anxiously, "Get in! We can't get out now!"
Li Shuai said, "I can't walk out, I'll just fly out … "Ah, forget it, let's just quickly go in."
He couldn't fly anymore. Countless shining spiders were sliding down from the ceiling of the cave, making the clearing seem like a 'forest'. There was a giant stone door in the dragon's mouth, but we couldn't find the mechanism for a long time. I shouted anxiously, "Master, is there a mechanism?"
His Master was also a little dazed. He anxiously said, "How would I know? Quickly search for them. Those ants and spiders are going to eat us after eating the meat lingzhi."
Flower Rain cried out in fright, "Wuu …. "Quickly find …
How depressing. At this moment, a hissing sound was heard. A large spider descended from the sky. I instinctively waved my hand to shoot it down. However, this spider allowed me to see a ray of light …
