Chapter 1172 Phoenix Nirvana
"It looks like this is the cave."
Zhang Tuohai looked at Alduin and had a basic guess.
"How are we going to get across?" Molly looked at the bottomless cliff. "They actually tore down the suspension bridge. These damn guys are really ruthless."
There should have been a suspension bridge on the cliff, and there were remains of wooden bridges near the cliff on both sides, but it has been demolished now, leaving only the wooden piles at both ends.
The cliff is more than 30 meters wide, and it is extremely difficult to cross it without a bridge.
"I'm afraid we have to occupy this place and then find someone to repair the broken bridge before we can get through." Molly said.
"No need to go through so much trouble." Zhang Tuohai hugged Molly's waist, "Hold on tight."
After saying that, a stream of water spurted out from under Zhang Tuohai's feet , blowing Zhang Tuohai high into the sky. Then, in the air, Zhang Tuohai threw out his skill grappling hook.
A grappling hook suddenly appeared in Zhang Tuohai's hand, and he reached straight for the pillar of the wooden bridge opposite.
The two fell down the cliff.
On the way down, the grappling hook grabbed a thick pillar, and the two men crashed into the cliff due to inertia.
If a normal person were to put it on like this, he would definitely be seriously injured, and then his arms would lose strength and fall off the cliff.
"Hold on tight."
Zhang Tuohai used Torrent again towards the cliff. A column of water spurted out from the cliff, just hitting Zhang Tuohai's body, reducing Zhang Tuohai's speed of crashing towards the cliff.
This allowed Zhang Tuohai to fall onto the cliff at a lower speed.
"Hey!"
Zhang Tuohai pulled in the grappling hook and it dragged the two men onto the cliff.
"Huh!" Finally it came up.
Molly lay on the edge of the cliff and felt her legs go weak. Although the time just now was no more than 30 seconds in total, it felt like a century to her.
She was teetering on the edge of death every second. If she were asked to do it again, she probably wouldn't have the courage to do it.
“Roar—roar—”
Alduin in her arms stretched his neck toward the cave, obviously eager to see what was inside.
"Let's go in."
Zhang Tuohai pulled Molly up from the ground and walked towards the depths of the cave.
There are traces of artificial excavation on both sides of the cave. There were originally murals painted on them, but they have been smeared over, with large traces of black charcoal.
There was a faint light flickering inside the cave.
The two walked forward for more than 500 meters, turned two corners, and suddenly the road ahead opened up.
In front of us is a huge crystal. The crystal is so huge that the diameter of the exposed part is at least ten meters. Moreover, it is not known how much is buried in the rock.
The crystal emitted a faint blue light, illuminating the entire cave.
Inside the crystal, there seemed to be a human-shaped figure, but it was too close to see clearly.
There were already some cracks on the crystal, and some white spots, which looked like marks from being struck by weapons.
When Alduin saw the huge crystal, he immediately pounced on it, stretched out his whole body, pressed against the crystal, and made a cheerful sound.
Alduin's body was also growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This crystal is really magical. It can stimulate dragons and accelerate their growth. I just don't know if it has any effect on humans."
Zhang Tuohai looked at Alduin curiously and said.
"My ancestors have conducted many experiments since they discovered this place, but to no avail. It seems that it has no effect on humans, you see." Molly placed her hand on the crystal, and there was no strange change.
Only on Alduin's side, as Alduin absorbed energy, the crack seemed to have grown a little bit, but it was only a little bit, and if you didn't look closely, you couldn't see it at all.
“Amazing crystal.”
Zhang Tuohai placed his hand on the crystal. It felt cool and smooth, with plenty of water and a very good feel.
Just when Zhang Tuohai was about to withdraw his hand, he suddenly felt a huge force in the crystal entering into Zhang Tuohai's body.
To be precise, it did not merge into Zhang Tuohai's body, but merged into the body of the phoenix inside Zhang Tuohai's body.
A huge amount of energy was integrated into the Phoenix, allowing it to continue to grow and grow...
The cracks on the crystal are increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye and spreading rapidly into the depths.
"What's going on? The crystal also has a stimulating effect on the growth of the phoenix? Both the phoenix and the dragon are extraordinary creatures, so it makes sense." Zhang Tuohai's mind raced and he placed his other hand on the crystal.
The energy flowing into Zhang Tuohai's body doubled.
The phoenix in Zhang Tuohai's body is also gradually growing bigger.
When the phoenix grew to its limit, it suddenly turned into a ball of flame, burned, and finally turned into a red egg among the ashes.
With the injection of energy, the egg cracked again, and a little phoenix hatched from it. Then, with the injection of energy, it continued to grow and become bigger, and finally it was reborn into an egg.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Zhang Tuohai always felt that every time the phoenix was reborn, there would be a hint of gold in its feathers.
As energy flows away, the cracks on the crystal grow larger and larger, from the width of a grain of rice and several meters long at the beginning to the width of a thumb and more than ten meters long now.
It can be said that the energy Zhang Tuohai consumed in this short period of time was more than that consumed by all of Molly's ancestors combined.
Moreover, this doesn't mean it will end, the Phoenix continues to be reborn in Zhang Tuohai's body.
Zhang Tuohai pressed his entire body against the crystal, quietly watching the phoenix reborn in his body. He wanted to see what it would look like in the end.
"This, this, how could this happen? What happened?" Molly had no idea what was going on and just stood there stupidly.
Just then, shouting and the barking of hunting dogs seemed to be heard outside the cave.
"What should we do? It seems that people from Emerald City are coming." Molly said in panic.
"Don't worry, there's a cliff outside, they can't get over it."
Zhang Tuohai said calmly.
He simply didn't bother to pay attention to the guards in the Emerald City outside. The cliff in between was enough to give them a headache. They were the ones who demolished the wooden bridge in the past, and it was time for them to suffer the consequences.
Sure enough, on the other side of the cliff, the guards from the Emerald City who had chased after them were complaining to each other.
"Are you sure we have entered the cave?" asked a leading captain.
"The hounds have tracked them here. If they didn't jump off the cliff, they must have gone to the cave on the other side."
A captain who was walking the dog said.
"Damn it, how did they get through? I told you not to tear down the wooden bridge and leave a way out, but I don't know what those nobles were thinking. They insisted on doing it to the extreme. Now that the bridge is broken, they have blocked us out. What should we do?"
The captain asked.
"How would I know? Catching people is your job. I am only responsible for guiding the direction." said the captain who was leading the dog.
The leader of the team looked at the cave opposite, gritted his teeth, and shouted to the back: "Go, pull up the city defense artillery!"
