Everyone was shocked. The vine resembled a monstrous python, covered in sharp spikes and seemingly with teeth, looking extremely ferocious.
"Pfft!"
The leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group stabbed his spear into a distant large tree. The tree was pierced, and blood fluid flowed out.
The moment he pierced the tree, the countless ferocious vines suddenly softened. No one could have guessed that the tree that seemed completely unrelated to these vines was actually the real culprit.
At that moment, Long Chen's longbow was aimed at the big tree, but his speed was slightly slower than the Ironblood Mercenary Group leader's.
The leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group looked at Long Chen and said, "You're practically a monster—you can actually see through its disguise." The
reason the Ironblood Mercenary Group leader could find its true form was because of his experience dealing with it. But Long Chen had never seen it before, yet he could instantly spot its true form. This perception ability was terrifying.
Long Chen smiled faintly, and the group continued forward. The further they went, the more cautious they became.
According to the Ironblood Mercenary Group leader, many beings here are unknown, most likely not from the Immortal Realm.
They possess strange abilities; if they're not careful, even an Immortal King realm expert would be doomed.
Moreover, these creatures are basically worthless, so they never come here to take risks.
Long Chen had also examined the corpses of these beings. Their vitality was average, and when thrown into the black soil, they barely reacted. Moreover, they carried a strange aura—no crystal cores or inner cores, so they truly had no value.
"Be careful, ahead lies Evil Dragon Valley, and the Evil Dragon Domain is named after that. Only by passing through Evil Dragon Valley can you reach the place you mentioned." After speaking, the leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group carefully took out some pale green juice and distributed it to everyone.
Spraying this juice onto his body could merge with the aura here. As long as he didn't show any murderous intent, it would be hard for living beings to detect him.
Everyone completely sealed off their breath, put on disguised clothes, and continued to cautiously move forward.
As they walked, the trees disappeared, and the view opened up. Ahead stretched an endless ravine, and everyone lay behind a huge boulder, looking ahead.
"Wow."
Even Long Chen, who was bold beyond words, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. The valley ahead was like a natural barrier, with no end in sight.
In the valley, a twin-winged giant dragon circled back and forth, and from a distance, it appeared to be a tall mountain slowly moving.
Looking closely, he realized it wasn't a mountain at all, but a giant dragon dozing off in a different posture.
"Crack, crack, crack... Suddenly
, the stone where everyone was was shook, startling everyone. They hurriedly looked down and saw a giant dragon rubbing against the cliff. The cliff where Long Chen and the others stood cracked open in an instant.
"Wow, these dragons must be Immortal King-level beings. Why can't I sense any of their aura at all?" Xu Zixiong exclaimed in surprise.
"Legend has it that there are countless evil dragons here, possibly even hundreds of millions. If they don't attack, you can't sense their presence at all.
But if they attacked, it would cause chaos throughout Evil Dragon Valley, so coming here was no different from courting death. The Blood Oath Alliance leader said gravely, looking at the figures before him as towering as mountains. Even Immortal King Realm experts would feel fear.
"The geology here is special. They lie on the ground, absorbing some kind of power here to cultivate.
If I'm not mistaken, they won't leave this valley. Once they do, their power will leak out in great numbers.
Therefore, they possess special powers that minimize their consumption when not in combat, which is why we cannot sense their presence. Long Chen looked at the giant dragons that seemed to be in a state of slumber.
These dragons are basically Earth-walking dragons, a lower-tier race among the dragon clan, with relatively low intelligence.
However, judging by their size, there are tens of thousands of Immortal King-level dragons here. If they were alerted, it would be very difficult for them to survive.
"Let's go." This time,
Long Chen led the way, and the group walked into the deep valley with fear of being terrified. Their individual size was very small and they could conceal their aura, making their journey safe and sound.
However, everyone was tense and tense. Except for Long Chen, who remained calm, the rest felt their hair stand on end, afraid of alerting the dragon here.
Sometimes, a twin-winged dragon would fly across the sky, and everyone would quickly hide, waiting until everything was quiet before daring to continue on their journey.
Those twin-winged dragons only unleashed their dragon might when they soared into the air. They circled back and forth, and once they found a suitable spot, they would lie down there, then their breath slowly retracted and they entered a dormant state.
After observing for a while, everyone concluded that these giant dragons were indeed absorbing some mysterious underground power to cultivate, just as Long Chen had said.
When they stay in one place for a long time, it seems the underground forces weaken, so they move elsewhere.
Throughout Evil Dragon Valley, countless dragons exist, endless and indistinct, yet they coexist peacefully without conflict, which feels eerie.
"Boss..."
As everyone was moving forward, Bai Xiaole suddenly cried out in surprise. His shout startled everyone. Shouting here was no different from courting death.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaole's scream didn't attract the dragons' attention, and everyone finally relaxed. The Ironblood Mercenary Group leader and others looked at Bai Xiaole with expressions as if they wanted to crush this kid. This guy was simply a useless teammate.
Bai Xiaole knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly pointed in a direction. Everyone looked in that direction, and each of them couldn't help but feel their hearts race.
These were four giant eggs shaped like small hills, with rock patterns on them. If they were alone, they would easily be mistaken for rocks.
From the four giant eggs, waves of life fluctuated from it. It seemed these four eggs would hatch soon.
No wonder Bai Xiaole screamed. Although he didn't know what kind of dragon egg it was, the dragon hatchling about to hatch was the easiest to tame. Just imagine if someone had an Immortal King-level dragon as a pet mount—how impressive!
What moved everyone most was that the four giant eggs were just sitting there, with no dragons guarding nearby. Clearly, the evil dragons here seemed to be harmonious and not fighting each other.
"Buzz!"
Just as Long Chen and the others were about to steal the dragon egg, a massive figure flew over their heads, and everyone quickly hid.
A giant dragon flew over and actually found a spot near the four giant cores to lie down, its head only a few miles from the giant egg.
Seeing the giant dragon approaching, Bai Xiaole was so angry he wanted to curse loudly. That place was too empty, with no hidden spots. If he tried to steal eggs, it would easily be discovered.
"Forget it, I'll study it when I get back." Long Chen said helplessly. He wanted to steal eggs too, but the current conditions didn't allow it.
Seeing those giant eggs, the experts of the Evil Dragon Domain were also envious. Dragon eggs, after all, were priceless treasures.
"Long Chen, I think we need to talk further." The leader of the Ironblood Mercenary Group hesitated for a moment, gritting his teeth as he spoke.
