The Path of the Sage

Chapter 1180: Dragon Devouring Vine

Views:

The flower bed in front of everyone was oval in shape, two miles long and two hundred feet wide, with all kinds of plants growing in it. To the human race, the plants in it were very tall, but to the dragon race, the plants in it were only ordinary.

The outermost part of the flower bed was a circle of five-story-high shrubs, densely intertwined, forming an oval-shaped enclosure. Within the shrubs, there were trees hundreds of feet high, flowers more than ten feet high, and all kinds of strange and bizarre plants, purple, green, black, and so on.

On the branches of a few trees and flowers, there were some vines with purple background and red patterns. The vines were about ten feet thick and looked like giant pythons with no head or tail visible. They looked a bit weird.

Yun Zhaochen and six others took out the holy page edicts.

Lian Pingchao and the other four were silent, unable to utter a word.

Yun Zhaochen sighed and said nothing, but everyone understood what he wanted to say: Next time you speak to Yun Fang, you must be sure before you speak, otherwise the result will be like Lian Pingchao.

Fang Yun said, "Here, there is a pond in the middle, with rockeries and flower beds on both sides. I will go into the pond, and you go into the flower beds. There should be some good divine objects in the flower beds. After you enter, no matter how many you encounter, you can only take one. Do you understand?"

"Of course. After all, we are not dragons. If we take too much, the undercurrent of dragon power may launch an attack." Yun Zhaochen said.

The other five grand secretaries nodded slightly. As grand secretaries, they understood this principle.

"I saw the 'Dragon Devouring Vine' inside. It's the vine with a purple background and red patterns. Don't touch any plant with this kind of vine. If you do, you will surely die."

"What is that thing? Just hearing the name is creepy. It can even devour dragons?" Sun Zhanfan asked.

"It is similar to the tree monsters in the demon world, but it is not as intelligent as the monsters. It is a strange monster. The dragon-eating vine is very strong, especially the ancestral vine, which is so strong that the dragons cannot completely destroy it. In the end, the dragons used their great power to force the ancestral vine to sign a contract. As a result, the dragon-eating vine can no longer devour the dragons, but can attack other races. You have my decree in your hands, and the dragon-eating vine inside should not attack you."

Lian Pingchao asked, "The Dragon Devouring Vine should be a great treasure, right?"

Fang Yun glanced at Lian Pingchao and said, "It is a treasure. Even if all the humans and monsters in the Full Blood Manggu Land were added together, it would not be enough for the Dragon Devouring Vine to eat. In short, even a Half-Saint of the human race would covet a treasure like the Dragon Devouring Vine, but after coveting it, he would do what he had to do. This thing is one of the most ferocious in ancient times. A Half-Saint cannot afford to provoke it."

"How come this Dragon Devouring Vine is so powerful that it is in the Sin Suppression Palace?"

"There are only seven places in the entire Dragon City where there are dragon-eating vines. The Dragon Prison has five of them, and the Sin-Suppressing Palace has one. It is used to intimidate prisoners. It can be said that those war statues are just decorations. The real guardian of the Sin-Suppressing Palace is this dragon-eating vine. Do you still remember how I looked when I mentioned the Sin-Suppressing Palace?"

"I remember that your expression was very contradictory. You said that the Sin Palace was extremely dangerous." Ye Fangge said.

Fang Yun said: "The dragon-eating vine is the main cause. However, I thought the dragon-eating vine in Dragon City should have disappeared in the catastrophe war, but I didn't expect this one to still be there. This thing has a long lifespan and can hibernate. So it is not a problem for it to live for millions of years. This dragon-eating vine is hibernating, and as long as you don't disturb it, nothing will happen."

"What will happen if it wakes up?" Yun Zhaochen asked.

"It's actually nothing to die with everyone in the Blood Mang Ancient Land." Fang Yun said calmly.

Several university scholars were shocked. Fang Yun was saying that this kind of vicious creature would slaughter the entire ancient land. It was too scary.

"Do you know why I don't go into the flower bed?" Fang Yun said half-jokingly.

"Let us discuss it before deciding whether to enter." Liu Shan'a smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that there would be such a ferocious creature in the seemingly ordinary flower bed.

"I don't really want to go in either." Ye Fangge said.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "You don't have to be afraid. With my Holy Page Edict, the Dragon Devouring Vine should give me some face."

"You really don't treat us as human beings." Yun Zhaochen also started joking.

Lian Pingchao said: "The flower bed is dangerous, but the pool is different. The dragon race loves water, and the most expensive sacred object in this garden is naturally the pool."

Lian Pingchao clearly pointed out that Fang Yun should go and get the best magical object.

Fang Yun snorted coldly, rode his horse towards the pond, and said, "If I don't go to the pond, all of you will die in the Sin Palace!"

The ten people were shocked, and Yun Zhaochen asked, "What happened?"

"There are some things recorded on the dragon clan inscription that I have to deal with. The dragon-eating vine is here by no means accidental. Obviously something forced it to stay. The emergence of the Sin-Suppression Hall is probably not a good sign. If there were no monsters in front of the gate of the Sin-Suppression Hall, I would have run away with the dragon clan inscription long ago." Fang Yun said.

“Don’t scare us…” Lian Pingchao looked at Fang Yun with doubt.

Fang Yun did not answer. If he had not planned to stay in the Blood Mang Ancient Land for three months, he would have escaped directly after reading the inscription and would never have stayed in the Dragon City ruins and the Blood Mang Ancient Land for even a second.

If he escapes now, his title of Wenxing Dragon Duke will be stripped away, and he may even be punished by the dragon clan. Fang Yun is unwilling to accept this.

"What is it about?" Liu Shan'a asked.

"I can't say." Fang Yun said.

"Well, it looks like we can't help you. You have to be careful."

Fang Yun nodded and went to the pond in the center of the garden alone.

The pool looks ordinary from the outside, with a diameter of about two hundred feet. The edge of the pool is a deep blue metallic color, inlaid with various gold threads.

Watching Fang Yun moving forward, Ye Fangge whispered, "Do you remember that the layout here is a little different from what Yun Fang said at the beginning. Even if there is a garden between the front hall and the back hall, Yun Fang would not be so serious about it, and it is even less likely that there is something as ferocious as the Dragon Devouring Vine."

“It seems that this Sin-Suppressing Palace has been changed by a powerful force. This reminds me of the legend of the Ancient Land of Blood Mang…” Yun Zhaochen did not finish his words.

Fang Yun rode his horse and stopped for a while ten feet away from the pool. His expression became extremely serious, and then he moved forward slowly. After a while, he felt a cool breeze blowing around him, which disappeared until he reached the edge of the pool.

Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Even after hundreds of thousands of years, there is still water in the pool.

The water inside is very clear, but you can't see the bottom at a glance. The deep part is pitch black and it's creepy to look at.

The inner wall of the pool is covered with dense purple-gold lines, which still exude a powerful aura.

This is not a pool at all, it's actually a well to suppress evil. People with deep-sea phobia would probably be so scared that their legs would go weak, Fang Yun muttered to himself.

Suddenly, a huge red eyeball emerged from the dark bottom of the water. It had red eyes and black pupils, and above the black pupils there were dark golden cracks like a net. It looked so ferocious that Fang Yun was so frightened that his scalp went numb and his heart stopped.

After the huge eyes appeared, they quickly dived down and disappeared.

Plop, plop…

Fang Yun's heart was beating rapidly.

"Even the dragon clan inscription only mentions 'that thing' without calling its name. What is its origin?" Fang Yun thought to himself as he slowly took out a drop of Dragon Saint's blood and a Dragon King's dragon ball from the River Drinking Shell.
