Chapter 114: Bottom of the Valley, Monster Horde Completely Corroded by the Curse

This feeling...

A trace of solemnity appeared in Tang Zheng's gaze as he stared at the valley. He sensed a trace of restlessness in the curse power within his body.

"Finally arrived here, finally arrived here!"

Dagan stood at the edge of the cliff, one hand pulling on the branches extended from a lush tree, looking down into the bottomless valley below, its eyes filled with complexity and excitement.

"Is this your first time here?" Tang Zheng asked in surprise upon hearing Dagan's words from the side.

Dagan shook its head, its voice filled with fear: "I cannot approach this place. Once I get close, the curse power in my body will lose control, and then I will lose my sanity."

"Every time I wake up again, I find myself back on the outskirts of the forest."

Speaking of this.

Dagan looked at Tang Zheng with excitement: "Great Lord, after staying by your side, the influence of this curse power has been suppressed."

"I didn't expect I would have such an ability."

Tang Zheng was indeed a bit surprised this time.

"Great Lord, please sit on me." Dagan was clearly impatient and took a few steps back.

"Roar!"

The next moment, a low roar erupted from Dagan's mouth.

Its petite body expanded rapidly, turning into a giant Petrified Lizard in the blink of an eye.

"Hiss!"

The Petrified Lizard shook its head and nodded toward Tang Zheng, signaling him to sit on its back.

Did its size shrink?

Tang Zheng saw Dagan, who had transformed back into a Petrified Lizard. The opponent's astonishing size, which was originally nearly ten meters, clearly looked like it had shrunk quite a bit at this moment.

Including the length of the tail, it was only about eight meters left.

After all, the length of a Petrified Lizard's tail was nearly half of its body, so this change was quite eye-catching.

The reason for the opponent's shrinkage was likely related to him breaking the opponent's transformation once before.

"No need."

Tang Zheng reached out and crushed a scroll.

Whoosh!

With a flash of white light, a Flame Archangel appeared, and Tang Zheng jumped onto the Flame Archangel with ease.

"Roar!"

The Petrified Lizard let out a low roar upon seeing this, its eight legs moving simultaneously. It crawled out of the forest, reached the edge of the cliff, and then crawled downward without hesitation.

The rough cliff wall was a very good grip for the Petrified Lizard, which was already skilled at climbing, and it crawled downward rapidly like a gecko.

Tang Zheng followed closely behind, beginning to descend from the air with the help of the Flame Archangel.

Inside the deep valley.

Except for the harsh sound of the wind blowing across the rock wall, there were no calls from beasts or monsters, and it was eerily quiet.

The two descended faster and faster, and the light inside the entire valley began to become dimmer and dimmer, even starting to show faint white mist.

Tang Zheng had the Flame Archangel stay close to Dagan, who had transformed into a Petrified Lizard, to prevent the distance between the two from widening due to the influence of the mist.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two descended rapidly at extreme speed.

About half an hour later.

"Roar!"

The Petrified Lizard let out a roar, jumped abruptly from the cliff wall it was climbing, and then there was the sound of landing.

They had reached the bottom!

Tang Zheng's expression turned serious. The Flame Archangel slowed down, then slowly descended to the ground from the air.

At this moment, they were already at the deepest part of the valley, where the sun's rays could no longer reach, and everything around was pitch black.

Only the light emitted by the Flame Archangel allowed Tang Zheng to barely see the surrounding environment!

Crack!

A slight crisp sound came from beneath his feet, immediately echoing through the valley.

Tang Zheng discovered that he was stepping on the long, thin white bone of some unknown beast.

He lifted his sleeve and took out the monocle he had purchased in "E-Rantel" from his item box, putting it on his left eye.

The dark field of vision instantly became clear!

What came into view was a narrow, deep, and profound passage, with various white bones scattered messily around.

Dagan, who had transformed into a Petrified Lizard, came to Tang Zheng's side, its body swayed, and it quickly shrank, returning to its original appearance.

"Great Lord, the source must be right here."

Dagan let out a painful muffled groan, but its voice was exceptionally excited.

At this moment, the thumb-sized black corrosion marks on Dagan's tree-bark-like skin clearly showed a trend of expanding.

Without Dagan needing to speak, Tang Zheng also sensed that the curse power within his body had become active.

"Getting more and more interesting."

Tang Zheng lifted his head, his eyes shining a bit.

He didn't expect that this casual guess would lead to discovering such a secret. This world indeed still hid many secrets.

As for danger?

He didn't think that if some powerful creature really existed in this valley, the Forest Gnome tribe living here would know nothing about it.

Furthermore.

The entire Forest Gnome tribe seemed to have been destroyed by their own hands.

Tang Zheng and the other moved along the narrow path toward the deeper part of the valley. In the overly quiet valley, the sound of their footsteps and the sound of bones being crushed on the ground echoed constantly.

Too quiet?

Tang Zheng frowned slightly. It seemed that only the two of them existed in the depths of this valley, but the number of animal bones on the ground was clearly abnormally high.

=9+Book_Bar

A huge pitch-black figure suddenly lunged out from behind the cliff wall on the left, followed by a fishy, rotting smell.

Boom!

The Flame Archangel, which was emitting conspicuous light, was the first to suffer an attack. An astonishing impact collided with the flame sword in the Flame Archangel's hand.

"Hiss!!"

A deafening roar instantly echoed in the valley.

The flame sword cut into the opponent's skin, making a "sizzling" sound like roasting meat, but at the same time, the opponent's huge figure also pinned the Flame Archangel to the ground.

Whoosh!

A brand-new flash of light appeared.

This Flame Archangel lunged directly toward this monster, knocking it off the other Flame Archangel.

The opponent's huge body rolled on the ground once. Under the illumination of the two Flame Archangels, the figure of this monster was thoroughly revealed.

Its entire body's skin was in a rotting state, making it impossible to tell its original appearance. Drops of disgusting pus constantly seeped out from the rotting skin and dripped onto the ground.

"This is... a Petrified Lizard?"

Tang Zheng saw the long tail that occupied most of the body and the eight legs, which were clearly characteristics of a Petrified Lizard.

It was just that the opponent's appearance at this moment was simply like a monster rotting all over!

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"Hiss!"

"..."

Roars echoed densely within the valley.

More than a dozen Petrified Lizards, also rotting all over and of varying sizes, crawled out from the cliff walls on both sides, rapidly approaching Tang Zheng and the other.

"They actually haven't died yet!"

"This is the nest of the Petrified Lizards!"

"Kill them!"

"Curse, it's all you! It's all you!"

"Heart..."

"Ritual, I shouldn't have eaten the heart, I shouldn't have held the ritual, everyone... ah!!"

The skin all over Dagan's body began to rot on a large scale, its spirit seemed to have been affected again, and its emotions became frantic.

Bang!

Tang Zheng appeared behind Dagan with an expressionless face, swung his arm, and delivered a heavy palm strike to the back of the other party's neck.

Dagan's eyes rolled back, its frantic voice stopped abruptly, and it fell to the ground.

"Has the body been completely corroded by the curse?"

"Except for being a bit disgusting, the aura is not strong."

Tang Zheng scanned the area, looking at the Petrified Lizards rotting all over and staring fiercely at him. He raised his arm, and an iron sword appeared.

"Fine, slaughter them all."

"Dark Wave!"

A dense, dark energy, which appeared thick even in the darkness, spread from Tang Zheng's body. Seemingly influenced by the environment here, the range of the spread instantly reached dozens of meters.

The numerous Petrified Lizards, which had already been suffering from the influence of the curse, all froze in place instantly!
