Chapter 19: Dragon Cave. (2/2)
"It looks like a vagina," Lexus said while staring at the cave the village chief was showing.
"What?!!" The village chief hearing 'vagina' was astounded.
"I mean, whatever, let's go inside. Open the door," Lexus said while pointing at the cave door, which looked like it was made of solid iron.
"Alright, it's the key." The village chief showed a huge key to Lexus, then walked towards the door with it.
"He sometimes hides the key in his asshole." The Glaive-wielder Village Chief's brother said suddenly; he was standing alone with Lexus now.
"What?!!" Lexus was flabbergasted hearing such a remark from a stone-faced man.
"What? You said something similar; I thought we could get along," Insitia said with a smile.
"Well, such a big key fits inside?" Lexus asked with a cheeky smile, which was almost turning into a laugh.
" Well, I am his little brother, I can't ask him that " Insitia said while his smile slowly vanished seeing his elder brother's return.
" Alright, I've opened the door for you, let's go inside " Village Chief said while patting the shoulder of his little brother firmly.
Insitia gulped hard; fear was written on his face, but he nodded his head nonetheless and followed behind.
The three of them went inside the door one at a time; the cave was damp and looked like people don't come here often, which was obvious.
"Even we used to come here and clean this place out, but our little Isabella has the talent to become something even greater than us, so she won't be taking our responsibilities." Insitia said while walking with Lexus, Insinia, the village chief, was walking ahead with a torch in hand.
"Oh? She's talented? In what? " Lexus asked; he was surprised to know the little girl he was traveling with was talented.
"Well, she's our little cultivation genius. We're going to send her to become a judge," Insinia said with a proud tone.
"Judge? Like in the Ancient Court?" Lexus was flabbergasted hearing such a thing. Was it possible for a mortal to get into the Ancient Court and be a judge? Aren't they God?
"Yeah, it's possible if you have heaven-defying cultivation talent, they'll recruit you, and Isabella will change this world forever." Insitia said as they reached deeper, a light can be seen from far.
" Alright, we're near, hush now both of you " Insinia said, Then he extinguished the torch in his hand and proceeded inside.
Lexus, entering the area with light, first saw bones, a lot of bones, and all of them looked like human remains.
Then he saw an old person sitting in a lotus position. If Lexus hadn't seen him breathing very slowly, he would have thought this man was dead.
"That's our father. For generations after fifty years of age, we came here to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good and to become the first line of defense," Village Chief Insinia said while checking on his father's conditions.
"He'll die in a fortnight; that's our fate or a curse. If you can't deal with this thing, I'll have to be like him." The village chief said he looked sad and a little horrified by seeing his father after so long.
"Why didn't you feed him anything?" Lexus asked as the old man almost looked like a skeleton.
"He's well-fed, but the atmosphere around here is different from outside. Here your cultivation speed doubles, but it eats you from inside," the village chief said while pointing at the old man's glabella.

Seeing the stats of the old man, Liyun gulped hard because this old man was an old monster whose level is almost double his.
"Alright, So you can go from here, and you'll get there in Where Dragon Resides. Don't bother if you're not confident enough to kill it," the village chief said, then smiled at Lexus while pointing at a narrow path.
Lexus nodded his head and then walked towards the narrow path slowly; his armor was clanking in the narrow space.
"I am just going to take a look. I don't think I can defeat the dragon yet, so don't have your hopes up yet." Lexus said while walking inside the narrow path, he was confident he couldn't defeat the Elder Dragon yet because that old man who's dying was 600+ in levels, and he was still dying.
The narrow path soon broadened, and there was a circle opening. In front, Lexus halted his steps, which were making noises, and advanced slowly.
After reaching the circle, Lexus peeked inside and saw there was dim light inside and a huge sleeping dragon-looking thing.

The dragon was huge; it had black scales all over and looked fat and ugly. Lexus also pinched his nose because this dragon was stinky as well.
"Fuck, this bastard is huge and monstrous," Lexus muttered while slowly taking his steps backward.
Lexus was predicting the dragon would wake up and attack him, but he was wrong; he safely went back to the village chief, who was seated beside his father.
"Let's go. We can't be here anymore. I am already getting tired." Seeing Lexus return, the village chief wanted to get out of the cave immediately.
"What do you mean?" Lexus asked as he didn't feel anything at all. Then he saw Insitia was also looking tired. Seeing that, Lexus smiled broadly because here you get double cultivation while losing your health, but what if his 9-Star Talent is able to nullify the curse.
