Chapter 483 Elegy Trial (3k)
Elder Mo’s words were like a sledgehammer falling from the sky, heavily impacting everyone’s hearts. Even if they didn’t know much about the history of the Others, they knew one of the reasons why Dragon Country and the Ancient God Sect were at odds—
It was because of the [God] they believed in, and some Others were among them.
Li Yi glanced at the solemn Elder Mo and was the first to recover. He frowned and asked, “What benefit would resurrecting Others bring to the Hark Gang?”
Su Jiu, on the other hand, was not so surprised. She had guessed a similar scenario, having experienced something similar during the Blood Clan disaster in Eagle Country. She made a blind guess:
The people of the Hark Gang wanted to do the same as Old Count Sam – resurrect and control!
A Viscount-level War God Other, if controllable, could turn a gang into a first-class force, not just a small mob, completing a true transformation of identity.
However, it was worth mentioning that Blood Clan seemed somewhat similar to Others in a certain aspect, being able to resurrect with residual blood and absorb blood, but the former’s history seemed older than that of the Others. Under the wash of history, they had transformed from absorbing blood to absorbing the power of Magic Crystals.
“Control.”
Elder Mo said faintly and then continued, “After so many years, there are also many means to restrain the Others. The Hark Gang is taking advantage of Bear of the Snow being unable to intervene and is playing a big game.”
“But there are many items of the Others in that street. It’s impossible that they wouldn’t realize there are no Great Power inheritances in them but rather tombs of the Others, right?”
Li Yi thought about it. He still felt that few of those Battle Kings and Alchemists were *really* stupid. Hearing his question, Chen Jia’er and the other two also felt there was no problem with his words.
If they knew it was an Other’s tomb and the age was suppressed, would those forces really let young people go in and take risks?
“It’s useless even if they notice. The tombs of the Others are not much worse than Great Power inheritances in the eyes of many people.”
Without waiting for Elder Mo to reply, Su Jiu shook her head, sighing with some emotion. She understood why other Demigod Levels would come to the Hark Gang’s territory. They were probably all eyeing the tombs inside?
Listening to Su Jiu’s words, the other three besides Elder Mo were stunned. Ah Hu’s eyes showed a hint of “wisdom.” As a brute like him, he truly didn’t understand the logic behind it.
“It is indeed an open conspiracy. I must report this to the local Bear of the Snow Guards. Ladies and young masters, this old man will take his leave first.”
After speaking, Elder Mo put his straw hat back on, lifted the saber by his side, and strode out of the room with a resolute air.
“Due to my identity, I can’t go in with you. When we go in tomorrow, let’s not acknowledge each other. I’ll see if I can find an opportunity to cause trouble.”
Looking at Elder Mo’s retreating back, Su Jiu quietly instructed the three.
“That’s good. Captain, you can do more things in the shadows.”
No one objected to Su Jiu’s suggestion. They all knew her strength, and in that pool, she was definitely in a league of her own. After all, with the age limit, peers could not reach her level.
After the discussion, Su Jiu wasted no more time. She bid them farewell and hurried back to her room to use the life potion. Every bit of strength meant an extra layer of assurance.
As for the other three, they stayed in the room to ponder how to absorb and cultivate in the Dream Cloud Pool tomorrow. After all, their strength was too far from War Gods and the like, and improving through the Dream Cloud Pool was the most basic thing.
Back in her room, the first thing she saw was Little Flower Fairy sitting cross-legged on the sofa, slowly breathing, holding a emerald green bottle in her hand. Clearly, she was more concerned about the child’s matters than her own.
Looking around, Su Jiu found that Rancy was gone and had left no message. She shook her head. She couldn’t restrain a living person. Thinking this, she set up a caution formation around herself and the Little Flower Fairy.
With everything prepared, Su Jiu took out the two bottles of blue potion not far from Little Flower Fairy, narrowed her eyes, opened the cap, and drank them in one gulp.
“Ying—”
She felt all her cells trembling, and a chill flowed down her throat into her stomach. A moment later, a sensation more stimulating than an orgasm surged from the top of her head into every part of her body. The Ice Chih Bloodline, which had stopped developing in her ring space, actually began to show signs of improvement again.
Immediately switching to Ice Dragon Transformation, Su Jiu could feel the life force that had stopped growing breaking through step by step, like bamboo shoots nourished by sweet dew. In just over ten minutes, it had increased to about 105% of its original level.
Time passed bit by bit, and the life potion in Su Jiu’s hand slowly dried up. The moment it completely dried up, Su Jiu’s eyes snapped open. She immediately touched the raised object in the inner pocket of her clothes…
“When did this come back to me… and it’s even showing a tendency to turn green again?”
Then she picked up the dried Loquat Branch that Bai Zhi had given her in her first life. Looking at the revitalized green on it, her expression was one of surprise…
“But it’s good to use as a transitional weapon. E Huo hasn’t eaten anything recently and has fallen into a deep sleep. I don’t know when it will wake up.”
Sighing, she put the Loquat Branch into her ring, only to find that it couldn’t be put in. Frowning slightly, she clipped it to her waist belt. She then re-examined her body. Her life force was now at about 125% of her previous level.
“With such a large expansion, I should be able to try the third stage of [Elegy] and take E Huo out for a walk.”
Thinking this, Su Jiu sent a telepathic message and looked at the giant cocoon from which a strange aura emanated. Then she woke up E Huo, who was sleeping in her Spiritual Space, and urged it to wake up through telepathic communication between humans and monsters.
When the white light appeared and it appeared in the real world, Su Jiu noticed that its eyes had panda eyes, looking “ethereal,” like a thief in the middle of the night.
Su Jiu was slightly stunned. Seeing that it was about to close its eyes again, she quickly grabbed its arm. Looking at the sleepy Dragon Girl, she asked confusedly, “E Huo, what’s wrong? Are you about to break through?”
“Mmm… I don’t know, I feel so sleepy.”
Barely opening its eyes, E Huo looked very tired. Its vertical pupils were tinged with blood, clearly not having slept enough and wanting to go back to sleep.
“This little guy is approaching a breakthrough and lacks some element, which is why this is happening.”
Unable to understand its condition, Su Jiu was a little worried. Just as she was about to use her hands to sense, Bai Zhi’s voice suddenly echoed, filled with surprise.
“Some element?”
Su Jiu turned to look at the awakened Bai Zhi, who pushed herself up from the sofa, barefoot. She walked over and examined E Huo, reaching out to touch its head, or rather, the dragon horns on its head. Her eyelids narrowed slightly, and after a long while, she murmured to herself:
“She has some congenital deficiencies, but the abundant energy compensates for this. Now that she is nearing a major breakthrough, her congenital deficiencies are being magnified. As for what she lacks, it is most likely Magic Crystals related to the Dragon race or related potions.”
Hearing Bai Zhi’s words, Su Jiu immediately understood the situation and felt a little apologetic. Congenital deficiency was likely due to their taking away the embryo fluid. Just as she was about to ask how to find Magic Crystals of the Dragon race.
“Mom, it’s okay…”
E Huo, whose hands were slightly warmer than normal human body temperature, grabbed Su Jiu’s hand. A silly smile was forced onto its small face.
“E Huo feels like it just needs to sleep, there’s no danger to life, Mom, make sure to prepare enough food, E Huo doesn’t want to be hungry when it wakes up.”
“Mm.”
Hearing this, Su Jiu felt a little uneasy. But there was really no good solution at the moment, so she could only try to stall it.
At this moment, Bai Zhi patted Su Jiu’s shoulder. As if sensing the fluctuations in Su Jiu’s emotions, her voice was unexpectedly gentle: “Don’t worry, it’s just as she said, she’s just falling into a deep sleep, it won’t affect much… Later on, after integrating some memories from her first life, I know of a place where you can obtain items of the Dragon race. You should focus on your own matters for now.”
Su Jiu nodded. As for the latter part of Bai Zhi’s words, she took it as comfort. However, she was also relieved that E Huo’s problem was just sleepiness and could be solved with some Magic Crystals.
“Mom, E Huo can turn into a sword, for about ten minutes.”
Having been with Su Jiu for so long, E Huo knew what she wanted to do. It said softly and transformed into a long sword, hovering beside her, albeit a little dim.
“Alright!”
Answering, Su Jiu understood the principle of speed being of the essence. She reached out, grasped the Dragon Pattern Long Sword, and a sharp glint flashed in her eyes. She closed her eyes and continuously activated [Elegy], her power output like a supercar on a highway.
Instantly reaching the first level!
Then it rapidly reached the second level!
After that, the acceleration slowed down. No matter how much Su Jiu squeezed her cells, it was futile. She gritted her teeth and continuously searched her mind for experience, but the experience brought by [Elegy] was always hazy.
Su Jiu felt herself immersed in the experience, as if she had returned to the days when she wore the raven-beaked mask, without Mental Power or External Qi, her vision became narrow, and the surroundings were pitch dark. The silence was so profound that it drowned out her ears.
Just as she was completely bewildered, something in front of her began to glow. Following the light, she saw that the source of her brightness was the lantern in her hand. Through the lantern, she could vaguely see a winding path ahead.
She took a step forward, and her body, which had felt nothing, suddenly ached as if torn apart.
“The front is the Night Domain, please retreat.”
A shadowy figure appeared in front of her. Its voice sounded a little ethereal, seeming out of place in the quiet space.
“Night Domain? What do you mean, senior?”
Hearing this, Su Jiu froze in place, and even the pain in her body subsided a little. She didn’t try to figure out why the other party could speak but asked confusedly. As she asked, she took another step forward, and her body suffered tearing pain.
At a distance of eight paces from Su Jiu, the shadowy figure maintained its posture and said calmly, “You are a monster. Even with the Night Robe, you cannot enter the Night Domain, nor can you gain opportunities.”
“May I ask, what exactly is the Night Domain?”
Clenching her teeth again, Su Jiu took another step forward with the lantern. This was the first time she had encountered a talkative NPC in the experience brought by E Huo, and this time it was unexpectedly surprising that she didn’t directly bombard her with experience.
“The Night Domain… is the last territory of the night, and only our race can enter it.”
Frowning as she watched Su Jiu continue to step forward with the lantern, the shadowy figure was silent for a moment, still maintaining its posture. Then, as if to persuade her to leave, it added:
“In the Night Domain, there is no light, and you will lose yourself.”
