Chapter 956
"Chance encounter?"
Hearing Dorothy's inquiry, Mrs. Zhuo La was stunned for a moment, and then began to recall.
A thousand years ago, when she was still a stupid dragon beast, one day she was chased by another powerful dragon beast, and finally ran into the depths of this Miasma Valley in a panic, and finally tripped and fell into an abyss.
Of course, this abyss was just an adjective; it was just a very deep cliff.
But although Cockatrices have wings, they are like chickens; they can't fly, and they can't even glide for a long time. At that time, she thought she would fall to her death, but in the end, she miraculously survived.
It was just that after she woke up from a coma, the first thing that caught her eyes was a pair of huge snake pupils. The snake pupils were so terrifying and so majestic. Even if she was just stared at by them, great fear rose from her heart, scaring her into fleeing in a panic.
Fortunately, she finally escaped from that deep abyss, and even more fortunately, she seemed to have been enlightened by the fright, and from then on evolved from a stupid dragon beast into a sub-dragon, and began to possess intelligence.
The fear of being stared at by those huge snake pupils back then was the source of her current Eyes of Fear power.
Her gaze could make the target feel the same fear she felt that day.
It was just that, precisely because of that fear that she hadn't been able to walk out of to this day, she never dared to explore that mysterious valley abyss again.
Of course, she couldn't explore it even if she wanted to. After all, that mysterious valley abyss seemed to have its own consciousness and had hidden itself. She had once gathered the courage to want to go there to see, even if she didn't go deep, just looking at the periphery would be fine, but she never found the way to enter that valley abyss again.
And she had originally planned to take the secret of this chance encounter to the grave, or if the dragon pack was lucky and another sub-dragon inherited the dragon, then pass it on to that successor. But now that this beautiful god in front of her asked, she thought about it and didn't hide it.
"My lord Dorothy, the matter is like this..."
She explained the chance encounter back then in more detail.
Hmm, Zhuo La actually also hoped to figure out the secret of the valley abyss back then, but her own ability was limited. It was estimated that she didn't have the ability, nor the opportunity to enter and explore the secret of the abyss again. But the few witches in front of her clearly had hope.
"So that's how it is, no wonder."
Dorothy listened to Mrs. Sub-dragon's narration patiently and nodded repeatedly.
She almost understood everything.
"Mother, this Miasma Valley is actually the tomb of a Snake Long Wang senior, right?"
The Home Witch turned to look at Long Ma to confirm.
She remembered that when the hunt began, Mother introduced it like this, and also said that the Snake Long Wang's eyes were actually the most suitable material for making evolutionary magic potions.
And Long Ma, who had been listening on the side, heard her daughter's inquiry and instantly understood her meaning.
"Dorothy, are you saying that the double pupils in the valley abyss are actually the legacy of that senior?"
Yu Fei Liya asked like this.
Although she was the master of this Ranch World, she couldn't really know everything about this world like a god. She didn't know many secrets in this world very clearly, such as the state of those dragon seniors' tombs.
After a dragon dies, it will form a dragon tomb area. The dragon tomb will decompose the dragon corpse's power and feed it back to the world. One dragon falls and ten thousand dragons are born. This is not only the custom of dragons but also the rule of the Dragon World. This is a basic law that even the master of the world cannot violate and must respect.
Therefore, Long Ma actually also knew that there must be good things hidden in the major dragon tombs. After all, dragons are full of treasures to begin with. But really wanting to get benefits from the dragon tomb is a very difficult thing. After all, the existence of the dragon tomb is to feed back to the world, not to benefit outsiders like them.
Yu Fei Liya recommending her daughter to come to this dragon tomb valley to hunt was actually just wanting her daughter to try her luck to see if she could have some gains, but she didn't expect that it would really work.
Good fellow, it's fortunate that her daughter didn't kill this sub-dragon just now, otherwise it would have really been picking up sesame seeds and losing the watermelon. The value of an ancient Snake Long Wang's legacy is not something these sub-dragons or dragon beasts can compare to.
Good fellow, could this be the so-called good deeds have good rewards?
Long Ma sighed about the wonder of fate in her heart.
However, she also thought about the information about this dragon tomb, and then explained.
"This is indeed the tomb of a Snake Long Wang senior, and she is not an ordinary Snake Long Wang. She is an Ancient Long Wang. She should be called the Snake Emperor Dragon. According to records, she seems to have fallen in the battle for the position of Dragon God in the Dragon World, and can be considered a loser in the competition for the position of Dragon God."
"When the Long Wang tore this piece of Ranch World from the Dragon World as a trophy back then, she didn't tear it randomly. This tomb is actually one of the biggest treasures of the Ranch World today."
It was just that after Long Ma explained it like this, Dorothy couldn't help but click her tongue.
Good fellow, the piece of land chosen by the Long Wang just happens to have the tomb of the Snake Emperor Dragon, and I now happen to need the eyes of the Snake Emperor Dragon...
Hehe, this is really a coincidence.
The Home Witch thought speechlessly in her heart.
She felt more and more that the Long Wang was full of problems the more she looked at her.
"Tsk, should I try to find a way to probe the tone of Ye Meng Jia De or Sir Arthur, Lancelot, etc., the first generation of Round Table Knights later?"
Dorothy thought like this in her heart.
Well, after all, she really didn't have the courage to go directly to question the Long Wang, saying, "Are you acting against me?" But she still had the courage to carefully verify from multiple sides and boldly infer.
However, even if she already felt in her heart that such a coincidence must have a problem, Dorothy wouldn't really give up this opportunity that was already in front of her.
Hmm, eat the sugar coating, throw the cannonball back, could I be afraid of that mere Emo La?
Perhaps because of the residual consciousness of the Fairy King just now, in short, the Home Witch made a decision with great courage.
At that moment, she didn't think about hunting any Rock Snake Dragon or anything anymore, and directly changed her destination, preparing to explore the mysterious valley abyss mentioned by Mrs. Zhuo La first.
She discussed this decision with the sisters, and the sisters naturally had no opinion on this. The legacy of an Ancient Long Wang, ah! Even though the sisters all had extraordinary backgrounds, this scene was actually the first time everyone had seen it, and everyone was quite curious.
Not to mention the little witches, even the two adults, Long Ma and Mavis, were actually seeing it for the first time. The Time Dragon Witch was also convinced by the Young Lady's dog-shit luck. She could encounter such things just by hunting casually. You must know that their Dragon Cavalry Legion had been stationed nearby for almost a hundred years, and they were very familiar with the environment nearby. It is no exaggeration to say that they could walk with their eyes closed, but they were also hearing for the first time that there was a secret like a valley abyss hidden inside.
But it's normal. As a battle-hardened strong army, their Dragon Cavalry Legion wouldn't be as kind-hearted as the Young Lady to be so particular about a sub-dragon. In their eyes, these dragon beasts and sub-dragons were just livestock grazing in the ranch, waiting to be fattened and slaughtered. Who would care about their plight?
"My lord, please follow me, but I can only vaguely take you to the place where I encountered a strong enemy before. For the road after that, I don't have the ability to find it."
Mrs. Sub-dragon led the way decisively, and the Cockatrice dragon pack also followed her.
Just like this, several witches plus the dragon pack set off in a mighty force.
The Cockatrice dragon pack could be considered a hegemon in this Miasma Valley. Everyone mixed in the dragon pack, and the journey was quite smooth. Although they inevitably encountered some powerful dragon beasts or sub-dragons with relatively high ecological niches on the way, often with an order from Zhuo La, the entire Cockatrice dragon pack would come for a round of collective glaring, and those dragon beasts or sub-dragons would often either flee in a panic or retreat cautiously.
And this scene also made Zhuo La and the dragon pack regain a little bit of confidence.
Hmm, their collective shooting of the Eyes of Fear just now couldn't shake Dorothy alone. Such an accident really made them doubt their dragon lives, thinking whether their eyes had become weaker.
But now these few normal performances immediately made them regain their confidence.
It turned out that it wasn't that they had become weaker, but that Lord Dorothy was too strong.
At that moment, Zhuo La led the way even more seriously.
The wisdom accumulated over her thousand-year dragon life told her that this Lord Dorothy might be a new opportunity for the dragon pack. Such a powerful yet kind great existence who was willing to communicate equally with their weak dragon pack was rare to count on one's fingers in the entire Western Universe.
As long as they could really establish communication with Lord Dorothy, why worry that the dragon pack wouldn't have a future?
"My lords, I started to run away around here back then, but I can't find the specific direction no matter what."
Before long, Mrs. Sub-dragon brought the witches to a stone forest with many large and small cave passages. She looked at the dense stone caves and spread her hands helplessly.
These natural stone cave passages had countless intersections, and she only cared about running away back then, so where would she have the leisure to remember the route? Now she really had no good way.
And Dorothy looked at this scene and also frowned.
If it were just a maze, she wouldn't be too afraid. After all, as long as one was willing to spend time to figure it out, one would eventually be able to walk through it.
But that requires a lot of time, and she was going to set off for the Mechanical Wasteland in two days, so she didn't have the time to stay here and solve the puzzle slowly.
At that moment, she turned her head to look at the sisters beside her, wanting to see if the sisters had any good ways.
And regarding this, the sisters also showed difficulty one after another. Finally, Sophie Liya stood out.
I saw the Pure White Witch walk to Mrs. Zhuo La and then said.
"Mrs. Zhuo La, can you lend me a drop of your blood?"
She was also very polite to this Mrs. Sub-dragon. After all, the Young Lady was polite, so she would naturally follow.
And regarding this, the charming middle-aged woman naturally didn't hesitate. She directly put her finger into her mouth and bit out a wound. Immediately, bright red dragon blood gushed out.
"My lord, is this enough?"
"It doesn't take that much."
Sophie Liya only took a drop of blood, and at the same time reached out with a touch of holy light, easily healing Mrs. Sub-dragon's wound.
Subsequently, the Pure White Witch used that drop of dragon blood as material and began to cast magic.
"Fate, dragon and snake kind, destiny, fleeing for one's life."
I saw Sophie Liya pick up a stone from the stone forest next to her, and then magic power erupted in her hand, using it as a small Cockatrice stone carving. Finally, she dripped that drop of Zhuo La's blood onto the stone carving. Soon, this stone carving Cockatrice came to life. It began to flee forward crazily, as if there was some terrifying enemy chasing it behind it.
Clearly, she was preparing to reproduce the miracle of Zhuo La's narrow escape back then.
It was just that the reason why a miracle is called a miracle is because of its scarcity. Most miracles are difficult to replicate, and everyone wasn't sure whether such an approach could succeed.
But since everyone had no other way, they had to believe in this arrangement of fate.
Everyone hurriedly caught up with the Cockatrice statue that was running for its life, and directly plunged into this maze-like stone cave. And Zhuo La hesitated for a moment, and finally ordered the dragon pack to guard here first, and then gritted her teeth and followed in.
She must hug the thigh of this beautiful incarnation of a god.
Of course, Dorothy relied on her photographic memory to quickly memorize their route. In her mind, a maze map that was gradually being lit up was lighting up bit by bit.
And after everyone rushed forward in this cave for five or six hours, looking at the Cockatrice stone carving that still showed no sign of stopping, and then looking at the monotonous stone cave scenery around them, they inevitably began to doubt whether Sophie Liya's move was really useful.
Why does it always feel like they are circling in place? The scenery here looks familiar no matter how you look at it, as if they had already been here before.
And just when the sisters couldn't help but start to retreat, and even Sophie Liya, the spellcaster, was a bit unconfident, Dorothy's eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
The maze map she drew while walking told her that everyone was not circling in place. They were always walking on the right road. The familiarity of the scenery around them was purely an illusion.
Then persist a little longer, and they should be almost at the end.
Sure enough, after another three or four hours, everyone relied on Dorothy's encouragement all the way and finally made it out. When the Cockatrice stone carving leading the way in front suddenly stepped into the air, and then flapped a few times in the air, it finally couldn't support its heavy stone body and could only fall helplessly.
Dorothy and the others stopped their steps in time. They stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, but in the end, they couldn't see anything. This pitch-black bottom really gave people the illusion that they were gazing into the abyss.
However, Mrs. Zhuo La saw this and had fear in her eyes, but also some excitement.
"My lord, it's here. Below this is the valley abyss."
... Witches jumping off the cliff...
