Gao Peng was in a state of shock. The Ancient Bloodrage Dragon was a Quasi God. These descriptions were etched in Gao Peng’s fragile heart.
Just two days before, he had said that the Overlord-tier Dragon Ant was the most powerful monster he had ever met, but in the blink of an eye, he had been proven wrong.
Even though the Blood Dragon was severely injured, in comparison, the Overlord-tier Dragon Ant was minuscule.
“Come, let’s head over.” Gao Peng took a few familiars to where the blood had dropped.
The branches of the tree were fully corroded. The blood was as thick as syrup that had melted on the leaves and branches and continued to flow into the soil under their feet, gradually eroding into a large hole.
The few little Dragon Ants were stirring, their feelers waving uncontrollably. This blood seemed to hold a great attraction for them.
At last, Elder Baby couldn’t resist the temptation. “I’m the elder brother, so I am going to test the waters.” Then he jumped in.
The other little Dragon Ants felt that something was wrong. Elder Baby began absorbing the liquid right after it jumped in, but the pale gold armor on its body started corroding when it came into contact with the dragon blood.
The blood started penetrating inward and corroded the surface of its armor, forming small holes. The more painful it became, the faster Elder Baby ate.
Flamy saw this scene, shook its head, and sighed. The few other little Dragon Ants who wanted to jump in saw this scene and decided against it. It looked painful.
The pungent smell of the blood also attracted other monsters. Footsteps were approaching from the opposite side, the soil beneath their feet moving as though something was waiting to emerge from underground.
Gao Peng frowned, but Flamy reacted even faster. Spreading its wings, it spewed a ray of flames with orange-green light from its mouth, and the powerful flame detonated everything it touched along the way.
Crack. Branches withered, rocks exploded, boom!
A blue barrier rose in the distance, and within the blue barrier, a giant cyan wolf roared angrily. The fire reacted violently when it came into contact with the barrier, but the barrier was suppressed when the flames touched it. Even if the barrier contained elements that were more powerful than the flame, unfortunately, the barrier was made of wood elements.
“Awooh!” The wolf stomped its claws on the ground, the rich wood elements transmitted into the deep earth. Two thick green vines emerged from the ground and wrapped Flamy from two different directions.
The vines were as thick as a fire hose, flexible and powerful, like two giant green pythons.
Flamy was unafraid. I’m a fire type, you’re a wood type, and we’re both King-tier monsters. Do you think you can outfight me?
Instead of retreating, Flamy started to attack. Its wings transformed into red barrels and shot out. Like missiles being fired from fighter jets, flaming feathers shot off its wings, sending dozens of red lights aimed accurately at the Vine Wood Wolf King.
The red feathers, like flying knives, broke through barriers and pierced the Vine Wood Wolf King. The red light exploded, and the flames of the sky consumed the wolf... When the flames dissipated, only a burnt and blackened corpse of a curled up wolf was left.
Flamy was pleased with having killed this Vine Wood Wolf King. Too bad Goldie the Baldy isn’t here; it would have enjoyed this. I’m no pushover.
Although the temptation of this blood was great, this wasn’t the only droplet that the Ancient Bloodrage Dragon had dripped when it flew over, so this drop of blood only attracted the monsters nearby.
Gao Peng didn’t look for the other drops of blood. By the time Elder Baby fully absorbed the blood, it was likely that the other blood drops were gone. After absorbing the drop of blood, Elder Baby became drowsy, as if it was drunk.
Gao Peng looked at the depths of the valley and then at the sleeping Elder Baby. He hesitated for a moment but decided not to continue down the valley. For unknown reasons, Gao Peng’s extraordinary senses allowed him to predict danger.
He hesitated for a while, then recalled the nature of the Ancient Bloodrage Dragon and decided to control his greed...
“Don’t get into trouble, don’t get into trouble...”
...
Deep in Dragon Death Valley, in the deepest part of the valley, lay a big open space. In the center of the space was a raised mound of sand. There was no grass on the mound, and there was no sight of anything green in 300 feet around it. Aside from its location, this was just a bald mound of sand.
The Ancient Bloodrage Dragon hovered in the sky for a while, refusing to land, its eyes filled with wariness.
“Deep Meditation, come out.”
The small quiet mound suddenly shook, the layers of mud collapsing to reveal a dark skeleton. Two faint golden flames burned deep in a pair of awakened eyes.
“What’s this racket, I need to sleep.” Looking up at the Ancient Bloodrage Dragon, the dark-boned dragon crawled out from the middle of the valley and shook its head. “What are you doing here...? Oh, you’re dying and intend to use your corpse to bring great honor to the Dragon race.”
“Rubbish! I’m just seriously injured. I still have a long life!” roared the bloody dragon irritably. “I came to you so that you could help me heal, no for your sh*tty honor.”
The dark ancient dragon stretched its body, and a massive black fog was released. The sky was filled with the release of the dead air, nearby plants withering and dying. Even the sun was darkened by the black air.
Still a distance away from the center of the valley, Gao Peng saw a cloud of black gas emerge from the center of the deep valley. The black fog seemed to cover the sky quickly. The forest was filled with gloomy darkness, the temperature lowered, and the faint sunlight struggled to shine in the valley, emitting but a weak glow.
Gao Peng’s face stiffened. No wonder there was no Emperor-tier monster nearby. There was a big boss hidden in the valley.
“Don’t you know the rules of the Dragon Death Valley? Only dying dragons can come back to nourish the dragons in the valley with the flesh and blood of their dead bodies. Didn’t you know....” Deep Meditation tilted its head. Its spine made of bones shifted by 90 degrees, and it stared somberly at the Ancient Bloodrage Dragon.
“Don’t give me that. I’ve known you for more than 10,000 years,” the Ancient Bloodrage Dragon replied, its eyes big and vicious. “Help me cure my wounds. When I’m cured, I want to return to kill that demon in the abyss. How dare they shamelessly waylay me at the River of Blood.”
“It was your own stupidity. When will you start using your brain?” Deep Meditation replied. It also murmured to itself, “So annoying. I’ve been waiting here for so long, can’t you let me pretend?”
It shook his head after speaking. “I will cure you, but you must leave something for the monsters here. You know, they would be excited for a meal when they realize that you’re here; after all, only dying or fallen dragons return to Dragon Death Valley. Even if you leave, you have to leave something.”
The Ancient Bloodrage Dragon was stunned. “What are you talking about?”
