Rebirth of Bloody Romance

Chapter 169 Dragon’s Lair

Zhong Yuemin lay there quietly, his eyes slightly closed, enjoying the rare moment of peace and quiet.

However, just as he was about to fall asleep, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar area not far away from the corner of his eye.

Zhong Yuemin looked closely and was surprised to find that there was a crack there that was out of tune with the surrounding environment.

The crack was originally completely hidden by dense shade of trees and lush flowers, so Zhong Yuemin had never noticed its existence before.

At this moment, it is like a mysterious portal, attracting Zhong Yuemin to explore the unknown mysteries within.

Zhong Yuemin's heartbeat quickened due to his curiosity, and countless questions popped up in his mind: "What secrets are hidden under this crack? Is it a long-lost treasure? Or some kind of dangerous trap?"

After careful consideration, Zhong Yuemin was determined to solve the mystery. He took out a sturdy rope that he had used when he served in the army and looked around for a suitable fixing point.

Finally, he found a huge rock nearby and carefully tied one end of the rope tightly to it.

After making preparations, Zhong Yuemin took a deep breath, held the rope tightly with both hands, leaned his body slightly backward, and then slid down the cliff without hesitation.

As he continued to descend, the light around him gradually dimmed, and only a faint light remained above his head, barely illuminating the space below through the narrow crack.

When Zhong Yuemin looked down, the deep darkness in front of him made him feel an inexplicable fear. It felt as if if he was not careful, he would fall into the bottomless dark abyss and could never escape.

But Zhong Yuemin did not retreat. Instead, he sped up, wanting to reach the bottom as soon as possible and find out what was going on.

Zhong Yuemin's heart was beating wildly as if it was about to jump out of his chest, but he was not intimidated by fear.

On the contrary, Zhong Yuemin gritted his teeth and continued to slide down carefully, finally landing his feet firmly on the hard ground.

When Zhong Yuemin finally stood still, he was surprised to realize that the bottom of this seemingly bottomless abyss was not a dark and deep Jedi, but an extremely huge stone platform!

This stone platform stands here abruptly, like a huge rock falling from the sky, as if it is a masterpiece of nature's magic.

However, what is even more surprising is that although the stone platform looks natural and uncarved, its edges are extremely flat and smooth, as if someone had carefully polished it.

Zhong Yuemin curiously walked around the stone platform, trying to find more clues or traces, but there was nothing unusual except the endless darkness and the occasional whistling of the wind in the distance.

When he was about to return, Zhong Yuemin suddenly noticed a small hole hidden on the back of the stone platform. The hole was not big and could only accommodate one person.

Faced with the sudden change and unknown danger, Zhong Yuemin could not help but hesitate. However, his strong desire for knowledge and adventurous spirit in his heart eventually overcame all his concerns, prompting him to make up his mind and bravely step into the mysterious cave.

Zhong Yuemin leaned down, and as soon as he entered the cave, a piercing coldness hit him, causing him to shiver all over. With the weak light of the flashlight, he could see that the rock wall in the cave was wet, and water droplets kept dripping down, making a crisp and pleasant sound. Along with the sound of water drops, the winding passage seemed even quieter and more eerie, causing Zhong Yuemin to involuntarily feel an indescribable tension in his heart.

Suddenly, a deep and soul-shaking roar came from the front, like an ancient beast that had been awakened and was about to break out of the ground. Zhong Yuemin moved forward slowly and fearfully, with every step full of vigilance and caution.

Finally, not far away, an extremely huge stone chamber appeared before their eyes.

The light inside the stone chamber is dim and yellow, giving people a gloomy and terrifying feeling; however, in this chaos, one can vaguely see an extremely large and lifelike stone sculpture placed in the center.

The stone sculpture had a distorted and hideous face, and its eyes were blood red, as if it was about to wake up from a long sleep, which was creepy.

Zhong Yuemin was terrified: Could it be that there really was some unknown and shocking secret hidden beneath this crack?

Just as Zhong Yuemin was thinking, the originally dim environment around him gradually became brighter. This change was really too weird.

Zhong Yuemin turned off the flashlight in his hand and continued to grope forward. In an instant, a strange, wonderful and fragrant smell entered his nose. This fragrance was fresh and pleasant, which made people feel refreshed and happy.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but follow the direction where the fragrance came from, step by step, while all kinds of speculations and imaginations about the source of this mysterious fragrance emerged in his mind.

Qingluan's voice rang in Zhong Yuemin's mind. "Zhong Yuemin, this should be the dragon's lair."

"Ah? Qingluan, what do you mean?" Zhong Yuemin communicated with Qingluan in his mind, and the other party's words shocked him.

"I don't know what happened back then, but this big crack should have directly split the dragon's cave in two." Qingluan's voice echoed in Zhong Yuemin's mind, carrying a sense of historical vicissitudes.

"Qingluan, is what you said true or false?" Zhong Yuemin was skeptical, but he could not ignore Qingluan's tone.

"We'll know soon." As soon as Qingluan finished speaking, Zhong Yuemin continued his journey of exploration.

Zhong Yuemin walked carefully along the only visible road in the cave. The road was winding and endless, like a huge dragon circling underground.

Zhong Yuemin was not worried at all about getting lost. After all, there were no other forks to choose from along the way except the narrow path in front of him.

Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, Zhong Yuemin had been walking for more than an hour.

But the strange thing is that at this moment, Zhong Yue not only did not feel tired at all, but was becoming more and more excited and full of anticipation.

The reason was simple: at that moment the air was filled with a strange and rich fragrance. The fragrance became more mellow and attractive, as if leading Zhong Yuemin to move forward.

At this moment, Zhong Yuemin suddenly realized that there was a strong vitality and vigor emanating from the surroundings.

You know, this place should be a desolate, lonely and lifeless desert; however, here, he actually felt the throbbing pulse of life!

This feeling became more and more obvious and intense, making him firmly believe that he had definitely not chosen the wrong path.

"If this is not the place where the dragon's lair is located, how could there be such a strong and vigorous vitality?" Zhong Yuemin thought to himself, and he believed in Qingluan's words without a doubt.

So, Zhong Yuemin involuntarily quickened his pace and advanced non-stop towards the deepest part of the cave.

As Zhong Yuemin walked along the way, the tense nerves in his heart slowly relaxed, and his original tension and high alertness gradually dissipated with the passage of time.

Suddenly, Zhong Yuemin felt the rich and vigorous vitality around him.

This powerful breath of life was like a clear, sweet spring, flowing continuously into his body, making him feel comfortable and at peace.

Zhong Yuemin slowly closed his eyes and immersed himself in this wonderful atmosphere. He seemed to be able to clearly hear the sound of his own heartbeat. The steady and powerful rhythm echoed with the breath of life around him, blending perfectly.

"It's so cool! So cool!" Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but sigh. He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes like torches, and once again scanned this vast space full of mystery.

"Is this the dragon's lair?" Zhong Yuemin stared at the huge space in front of him with wide eyes in disbelief. Originally, what appeared in his mind should be a place full of vitality and green vegetation, but the reality was quite different - what appeared before his eyes was a desolate and dead scene.

Full of doubts, Zhong Yuemin began to examine the surrounding environment attentively.

Gradually, he realized that although this place looked lifeless on the surface, it was actually filled with an extremely strong breath of life.

This feeling became stronger and stronger, making him feel even more surprised: since there is such abundant vitality, how could it not give birth to any form of life?

Zhong Yuemin frowned and fell into deep thought. He thought to himself, "What is the reason why creatures cannot survive here? There should be some grass, right? Is it really because the breath of life here is too strong?"

However, as soon as this thought flashed through his mind, he shook his head and said to himself, "That's not right. The breath of life is the root of all living things. How can it be the culprit that hinders the reproduction and growth of life?"

The more Zhong Yuemin thought about it, the more confused he felt, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart.

Therefore, Zhong Yuemin decided to conduct a deeper exploration and research on this mysterious land. Perhaps only through personal practice and continuous observation can the mystery be solved and a method for plants to thrive be found. With a heart full of questions and expectations, Zhong Yuemin took a step forward and continued to move forward...

The dragon cave is very large, as if it has no end, giving people an endless sense of mystery. However, it seems unusually empty, making people feel a little lonely and deserted.

At this moment, Zhong Yuemin suddenly found a hint of green not far ahead. He widened his eyes and looked at it in disbelief - it was actually a plant! What surprised him even more was that it was actually a tea tree!

"Damn it, this is so weird! But it looks like it should be a treasure. Now that I've come across it, there's no need to hesitate! Hehe...what I see is what I own, so hurry up and grab the shovel and get started!"

Zhong Yuemin carefully began to dig the soil around the tea tree, his movements were as gentle as if he was treating a rare treasure, fearing that he would accidentally damage this mysterious tea tree. As the digging work continued, he gradually saw the whole picture of the tea tree.

This tea tree is about eight or nine meters tall, with a strong and sturdy trunk, like a giant standing tall; the crown is as broad as a gorgeous umbrella, and the dense branches and leaves shine with emerald green under the light.

Each leaf is oval, with slightly serrated edges and distinct veins, as if telling of its long history. And the vigorous vitality is continuously radiated through the leaves.

Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently stroke the tender green leaves, feeling the delicate fragrance coming from them. He was very sure that the intoxicating fragrance he smelled earlier must have come from the magical tea tree in front of him.

On the branches of the tea trees, clusters of small, delicate, white flowers bloomed one after another. They were as light and elegant as snowflakes, and as holy and elegant as fairies. When the breeze blew gently, the petals fluttered down one after another, like snow all over the sky, weaving a beautiful picture scroll that was like a dream.

Zhong Yuemin stood quietly under the tree, as if he was in a quiet and peaceful paradise, perfectly blending in with the surrounding natural environment. He felt the fresh air brought by the breeze and listened to the rustling sound of leaves, feeling particularly relaxed and happy.

Zhong Yuemin stared at the tea tree in front of him, feeling awe that could not be expressed in words. This tea tree has gone through vicissitudes of life and witnessed the changes of time, but it still stands tall and full of vitality.

Its thick trunk, luxuriant branches and leaves, and elegant flowers all show its tenacious vitality and profound heritage. It seems to be silently telling the mystery of nature and the profound philosophy of life, which makes Zhong Yuemin involuntarily indulge in it and fall into deep thought.
