Chapter 207: Traces of Licking Dragon Blood, Evil Spirit Dog, Seeing the Twin Witches

~13 min read 2,581 words

Scorching liquid magma rose and fell slightly on the surface of the magma sea, dark red and orange magma substances collided with each other, and the splashed fire light ignited the air.

Bang!

Releasing intense flames.

Tang Zheng's figure floated on the scorching magma sea along with the rising and falling magma surface; the magma, which was frighteningly hot, could not cause even a trace of burns on his thin skin.

If an ordinary person saw this scene, their jaw would probably drop in shock.

At this moment.

Tang Zheng lay in the magma sea, and a rare relaxed expression appeared on his face; the surrounding environment was frightening and terrifying to ordinary people.

But to him, it inexplicably gave him a trace of security.

"Finally, I have gradually gained some power to protect myself."

Tang Zheng raised his arm under the magma, held it above his head, and looked at the magma flowing down from his palm, a trace of relaxation in his eyes.

His black pupils were exceptionally bright under the irradiation of the surrounding red light.

All along, Tang Zheng had a sense of urgency in his heart, and only until this moment did it finally give him a feeling of being able to catch his breath.

"However, it's still far from enough; I must become stronger." Tang Zheng whispered to himself, lowered his raised arm again, and smashed it into the magma.

The lava zone was located deep in the Angelisia Mountains, and because of the special high-temperature environment, most creatures, let alone surviving here, even wanting to approach here was a very difficult thing.

Now that the Solar Angler had been solved by him, this area could be considered to have completely become ownerless land.

The location was secret.

Most creatures could not approach.

Coupled with the fact that the depths of the magma sea connected to the Valley of Despair.

"Using this place as a station seems quite good." Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, and he muttered to himself softly.

After mastering teleportation magic, the time-consuming journey problem no longer needed to be considered; as long as a magic mark was left here, he could teleport here directly at any time.

The only thing that needed to be considered currently was whether there would be any influence after the ancient fire dragon died; this needed to be observed.

Another thing to consider was the last ruler besides the Solar Angler and the ancient fire dragon.

"Phoenix · Lord" Fenikos!

Up to now, Tang Zheng hadn't discovered the opponent's existence; its strength should be about the same as the Solar Angler and the ancient fire dragon.

"Next, I have to make contact with the dwarves here." Tang Zheng hadn't forgotten the broken armor he got from the gray dwarves, inscribed with the highest-rank Lu En characters.

He had a thought he really wanted to experiment with, which required the Lu En craftsmen within the dwarf race here.

"However, before that..."

Tang Zheng raised his head and whispered: "Flight!"

Swish!

Tang Zheng flew out of the magma sea, landed on the ground of the lava zone again, and walked toward the outskirts.

Gradually leaving the high-temperature environment.

Only then did he take out new clothes from the item box, put them on, and waved his hand toward the ground.

The Evil Spirit Dog's corpse appeared on the ground.

"Su Sheng of the Dead!" Tang Zheng activated the fifth-rank resurrection.

"Magic Prepared in Advance" currently still stored the seventh-rank resurrection magic "Resuscitation"; it wasn't that Tang Zheng was reluctant to use it on the Evil Spirit Dog.

But currently, the faith-system caster level was not enough; wanting to activate the seventh-rank "Resuscitation" required cooperation with the magic-raising ritual.

To be on the safe side, this kind of higher-rank resurrection magic naturally needed to be reserved in advance.

"Awoo~"

The Evil Spirit Dog's body, which had lost its life, trembled, gradually opened its eyes, a look of confusion flashed in its beast pupils, and then it shook its head and stood up from the ground.

Seeing Tang Zheng beside it.

The Evil Spirit Dog happily wagged its tail and walked up, rubbing its head against Tang Zheng's trouser leg.

"You've worked hard."

Tang Zheng reached out and stroked the Evil Spirit Dog's smooth black fur, speaking with some apology.

Two resurrections, calculated according to the level in the game, meant it had dropped a full eight levels.

Originally, the Evil Spirit Dog's level had already reached the level of thirteen or fourteen; two level-dropping resurrections meant that on the surface, the Evil Spirit Dog's body size didn't have any changes.

But Tang Zheng could clearly feel that the Evil Spirit Dog's aura had dropped by a large chunk, and even the dangerous feeling it gave people had disappeared all at once.

"Awoo."

The Evil Spirit Dog rubbed against Tang Zheng's trouser leg a few times, suddenly sniffed with its nose, its body shuddered, and the fur all over its body stood up.

It turned its head to the side with some longing and fear, looking at a position not far away.

Noticing the Evil Spirit Dog's movement.

Are there enemies?

Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes; why didn't he feel it?

He turned his head and looked in the direction of the Evil Spirit Dog's gaze; there was nothing in that direction, and immediately after, Tang Zheng noticed something, his gaze freezing.

The direction the Evil Spirit Dog was staring at was precisely the position where he had beheaded the ancient red dragon; there were still some residual, dried bloodstains on the ground.

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed, he looked at the faint longing in the Evil Spirit Dog's eyes, raised his hand and patted the Evil Spirit Dog's back: "Go."

"Awoo."

The Evil Spirit Dog let out a low growl, carefully moved its four limbs, and moved slowly toward the direction of the dried bloodstains.

As the strongest race in the entire world, the power emitted by the life level that surpassed all creatures, even if it was just residual dried bloodstains, still had a deterrent effect on ordinary creatures.

Especially magical beasts with more sensitive perception abilities.

Tang Zheng, facing this kind of aura deterrence, instead didn't have any influence; let alone the already dead ancient red dragon, even the living ancient fire dragon,

When facing it initially, Tang Zheng only felt some invisible pressure, but it didn't produce any suppression on his actions.

Powerful existences like giant dragons should possess abilities like "Dragon Might."

Tang Zheng speculated that the reason he wasn't affected was, first, his own level was already high enough, and second, it was one of the passive abilities of 【Valkyrie】, "God-Blessed Body."

The Evil Spirit Dog slowly arrived at the position of the dragon blood that had already dried on the ground, lowered its head with beast pupils full of longing, and carefully licked the ground.

Immediately after, it kept licking the ground.

Tang Zheng watched this scene quietly, without any intention of stopping it, but instead, curiosity showed in his eyes.

He had already determined before that dragon blood indeed had a buff effect, but it wasn't obvious to him, so he used this to observe the Evil Spirit Dog.

There was very little dragon blood left on the ground, so there was no need to worry about the Evil Spirit Dog having any accidents.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes.

Tang Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly; he discovered that the Evil Spirit Dog still kept licking the various positions stained by dragon blood, not only without any intention of stopping, but instead becoming more and more manic.

"Little Black!" Tang Zheng.

The Evil Spirit Dog lowered its head and continued licking, without any reaction.

Seeing this scene.

Tang Zheng had already realized that the Evil Spirit Dog had a problem, raised his foot and walked over with large strides; as he approached,

The Evil Spirit Dog, which had been lowering its head and licking the ground, suddenly raised its head, and a pair of bloodshot, red eyes were revealed, staring fixedly at the approaching Tang Zheng.

"Roar!"

The Evil Spirit Dog revealed a ferocious and vicious expression, bared its mouth, and revealed sharp teeth dripping with saliva. "Is it delirious? A little bit of stuff can actually cause such a big influence; is it because the Evil Spirit Dog's level is too low, or does 'dragon blood' itself contain unknown negative influences."

Tang Zheng raised his eyebrows, looking at the Evil Spirit Dog that seemed clearly unclear, and spoke thoughtfully in a low voice, but his footsteps didn't stop at all, continuing to walk toward the Evil Spirit Dog.

"Roar!" The Evil Spirit Dog roared, its four limbs exerted force suddenly, and it pounced toward Tang Zheng.

Bang!

Tang Zheng waved his arm expressionlessly, slapped the pouncing Evil Spirit Dog away, and it fell onto the ground: "The aura seems to have become a bit stronger."

"Awoo~"

The Evil Spirit Dog lay on the ground in a miserable scream, coughing up blood in its mouth, its body twitching slightly.

This casual slap clearly hit the Evil Spirit Dog into a near-death state.

Tang Zheng walked up, stood beside the Evil Spirit Dog, raised his palm, and holy light appeared: "Heal Serious Injury."

The clearly sunken injury on the Evil Spirit Dog's mouth recovered rapidly, and it climbed up from the ground rapidly, rushing toward Tang Zheng again.

Slap!

Another slap was swung down, and the Evil Spirit Dog lay on the ground in a near-death state again.

"Heal Serious Injury."

Please... you.... collect_(!)

Slap!

"Heal Serious Injury!"

After three times in a row.

Only then did the Evil Spirit Dog's red eyes and irritable emotions completely subside, and it stood up with fear, shrinking its head and tail to look at Tang Zheng.

"The aura has indeed become a bit stronger, but the influence of dragon blood is actually so big; why didn't I have such a situation before."

Tang Zheng didn't care about the Evil Spirit Dog's previous behavior, but instead observed the Evil Spirit Dog while thinking thoughtfully.

Perhaps it was still a "curse" problem.

If it only had an influence on the spirit, it couldn't be considered a big problem.

Tang Zheng thought of one of the four great treasures of the Lizardmen, the "White Dragon Bone Armor," which was armor made from the bones of a frost dragon.

It would cause a negative curse effect of lowering the user's IQ.

It seemed that he had to specifically study the specific amplification and other effects of "dragon blood."

"Since you've woken up, feel the power contained in the blood you licked just now."

Tang Zheng looked at the Evil Spirit Dog again and continued: "Little Black, stay here first; I'll leave for a while."

"Awoo, awoo."

Seeing that its master wasn't angry, the Evil Spirit Dog wagged its tail again and let out two light cries.

"Greater Teleportation."

Tang Zheng closed his eyes, slightly perceived the direction, and chanted in a low voice.

Swish!

His figure disappeared instantly.

South of the Tob Forest.

Located in a remote small village northwest of "E-Rantel,"

Bang! Bang!

A middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties, with a headscarf tied over her brown hair, was squatting in front of a wooden house, holding a wooden stick in her hand, beating many hemp clothes that had been washed by water.

From time to time, people in the village passed by and greeted this middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman also responded very skillfully; if one observed carefully, one could see that the middle-aged woman's gaze was filled with indifference, and there was even a trace of coldness faintly.

"Sister, how much longer do we have to pretend to be humans here?" A crisp, impatient voice sounded from the position of the middle-aged woman's chest.

"I don't know either." The middle-aged woman swept a calm gaze around and spoke faintly in a low voice.

"The Great Wetland, we can't go back anymore."

"Why don't we run away? The humans here are simply more fragile than those weak cave lizards; there are no strong people at all."

The crisp voice came from the chest again.

"That human left magic traces on us; no matter where we run, we will be found by that human." The middle-aged woman continued to beat the clothes with the wooden stick, speaking calmly in a low voice.

Once these words were spoken.

The voice in the chest paused for a moment and said gloomily: "It's already been more than half a month."

The middle-aged woman's movement of the clothes paused, but she continued to move again.

A moment later.

The Twin Witches disguised as a middle-aged woman hung up all the clothes and then started to organize the harvested wheat.

Every move was very skillful, and there was no difference from an ordinary middle-aged woman.

Until night fell.

The Twin Witches entered the wooden house and closed the door.

In the somewhat dim room, an identical middle-aged woman was lying on the ground in a coma.

The surface of the Twin Witches' bodies twisted slightly, turning back into slender figures wrapped in tree leaves.

Whoosh whoosh~

The tree leaves in front of the Miss Cuiye Witch shook, and the Mist Witch crawled out from the Miss Cuiye Witch's chest and drifted onto the ground.

"I've had enough!" After the Mist Witch stood firm, she immediately spoke to the Miss Cuiye Witch unwillingly.

"Wait."

Facing the Mist Witch who was full of impatience, the Miss Cuiye Witch just spoke faintly.

"That human hasn't appeared for more than half a month!"

"I've had enough of the boring trick of pretending to be human!"

"Speaking of which, this can be considered a good thing."

The atmosphere in the room became quiet.

The Mist Witch first looked at the Miss Cuiye Witch in surprise, and immediately after, she reacted and just opened her mouth, preparing to say something.

Suddenly!

Step— step—

Light footsteps came from the direction outside the house.

The Mist Witch and the Miss Cuiye Witch were stunned; with their perception, anyone approaching this wooden house should have been discovered by them in advance.

And these footsteps seemed to appear out of thin air.

Without waiting for the Twin Witches to continue to react, both of them shuddered subconsciously, a chill running from their toes to the top of their heads.

Making the Twin Witches both retreat at the same time, looking at the wooden door with vigilance and fear.

Knock! Knock!

The light knocking sound sounded, lowering the atmosphere in the wooden house to the freezing point.

"Oh, is the door not closed?"

Outside the wooden house, Tang Zheng knocked on the wooden door twice, and seeing no reaction in the house, he pushed it lightly, and the wooden door was pushed open.

The space in the room was not large.

The figures of the Twin Witches and the middle-aged woman in a coma were the first to come into view.

"Long time no see, you two." Tang Zheng looked at the Twin Witches with a smile.

"Master."

"Master."

The Miss Cuiye Witch and the Mist Witch knelt on the ground at the same time and lowered their heads respectfully.

The little thoughts the two had just raised in their hearts had disappeared completely; this human had become even more terrifying.
