Chapter 120: Descending into Dragon Valley in the Manner of a Savior!

Lu Zheng wasn't in a hurry to level up, and he first reviewed all three newly acquired summons' skills.

Then he was delighted to discover that the skills that could aid this operation were not limited to Pixiu's.

The Three‑legged Demon Toad also has a skill called "Hooked Demon Tongue", which is very useful.

【Skill: Hooked Demon Tongue】

【Effect: Minimum cost of 5,000 mana; used on targets bearing demonic or evil aura, it draws the target's demonic/evil aura into oneself, replenishing mana consumption or converting into experience】

Unlike the passive skill "Swallowing Heavenly Demon Body", Hooked Demon Tongue is an active skill, and the amount of demonic aura it can seize is limited by one's own level and is not especially large.

If one shares Mid God‑level mana, releasing the skill would certainly yield a good effect.

In addition, the Qilin also possesses a skill called "Heavenly Official's Blessing".

【Skill: Heavenly Official's Blessing】

【Effect: Minimum cost of 10,000 mana; released on any target, the target's soul consciousness receives a "blessing", stays awake, not confused or controlled; if already infiltrated, it will be purified and remain awake】

This skill is extremely useful! The demon‑corrupted Dragon God consciousness has surely already sunk, so keeping it awake to prevent it from attacking is vital.

Otherwise, even if Lu Zheng could help purge its demonic aura, it would be useless if it cannot act. With this skill now, that concern disappears.

No wonder the divine beast Qilin! Next, it's time to help these twelve summons level up quickly.

Unfortunately, these summons cannot directly devour divine essences for advancement; otherwise the Mid God divine essence in his hand would be of great use.

Holding three 500‑level divine pets, Lu Zheng wreaks havoc throughout the Abyss Demon Realm.

In less than half a day, the Qilin and Pixiu were raised to over three hundred levels, and alongside them the fire demon, which evolved to divine‑pet quality, was also upgraded; Lu Zheng gave the creature a name, Paru!

Thanks to its cover and that of another Lower God‑level Evil God controlled by Qiongqi, this killing spree did not attract the attention of powerful Evil Gods.

During this process, Lu Zheng even slaughtered two Lower God‑tier Evil Gods, obtaining their divine essences and corpses.

The one responsible for the final kill of the True God was the Nine‑headed Immortal Bird.

The current Nine‑headed Immortal Bird has risen from over two hundred levels to over three hundred forty levels; it is Lu Zheng's next divine pet planned to be raised to 500 levels.

Pixiu and the Qilin have been raised to over three hundred levels, and Lu Zheng feels that is enough.

Because even if they reach Half‑God level, nothing would change.

The power of the skills currently mastered is comparable to Half‑God level, and the mana issue will be supplied by the three 500‑level divine pets and Lu Zheng.

It's time to go to Dragon Valley!

Dragon Valley is a very special Saint‑level dungeon, and the dragons inside cannot be refreshed repeatedly.

In other words, it is a one‑time dungeon.

When all are slain, the dungeon disappears.

But no one can clear this dungeon!

Ordinary adult giant dragons can reach level 200, with the lowest quality being Overlord grade.

After reaching adulthood, giant dragons can continue to level up.

It takes only about ten years to ascend to Saint level.

The Half‑God bottleneck poses no obstacle to them; they can smoothly advance to Half‑God tier.

Around eighty percent of adult dragons are Half‑God level.

The remaining twenty percent are not all below Half‑God; some are True‑God‑level giant dragons.

The current Dragon Emperor "Phoenix" is the strongest among the over three thousand giant dragons in Dragon Valley, with power reaching Mid God level. Dragon Valley is divided into outer and inner sections; the outer area houses dragons and draconic beings below Divine level, while the inner part is a planar dungeon—the true Dragon Valley, i. e., the Dragon God Realm—where True‑God‑level dragons reside.

Lu Zheng harbors little reverence for giant dragons.

One could say he has no awe for these Western‑style giant dragons.

In his mind, only Eastern divine dragons deserve the term "dragon".

He simply regards these so‑called giant dragons as intelligent monsters.

After multiple teleports and a period of flight, Lu Zheng arrived at a large island in the sea; this is the entrance to the Dragon Valley dungeon.

He took out an item he had obtained earlier.

【Item: Giant Dragon Friendship Medal】

【Effect: Grants Giant Dragon pressure; all targets whose level does not exceed yours have agility reduced by 50% and spirit reduced by 50%; all dragons' favor toward you increases by 50%; with this item one can enter Dragon Valley】

The thing obtained from slaying the Dark Demon Dragon turned out to be useful during the Job Change Quest.

The island is vast, with towering trees over a hundred meters tall, blocking the sky.

Lu Zheng ventured deeper, and the Giant Dragon pressure released by the medal kept low‑level monsters from approaching.

Soon after, he encountered a fire giant dragon that appeared un‑adult, its level only around 150.

The Giant Dragon Friendship Medal gives any dragon a base favor of over fifty percent toward Lu Zheng.

Thus, upon seeing Lu Zheng, the young dragon named Albert spoke up: "What brings you here?"

It said this in Dragon Tongue, which Lu Zheng had already learned on his way here.

He immediately replied: "A great disaster will strike Dragon Valley; I need to meet the Dragon Emperor, and only I can help you survive this crisis!"

Presenting the issue from the other side's perspective is the way to solve it.

If Lu Zheng were to say outright that he came here for the Job Change Quest, the other side would surely drive him away.

But now, as a savior descending to rescue them, they must treat this matter seriously.

Perhaps because of the baseline favor, the young dragon thought briefly and then said to Lu Zheng:

"Come up, and I'll take you to meet my father; perhaps he can lead you to see His Majesty the Dragon Emperor!"

As it said, it crouched and slithered down.

Lu Zheng flew up, then followed it swiftly into the dungeon world, within a massive valley.

Seeing Albert bring a human into Dragon Valley, many dragons cast inquisitive gazes, all turning toward Lu Zheng.

Before long, Lu Zheng met Albert's father, a Half‑God level giant dragon named Brian.

"Human, how could you know that we dragons will face disaster, what is the disaster?"

"A scorching aura, rich energy, and mighty pressure emanated from the half‑god‑level dragon's body, yet it had no effect on Lu Zheng whatsoever."

"He slowly opened his mouth and said:"

"Because only I can save you, that's why I know. What the disaster is, you cannot yet know; you only need to convey these two words—'demon god' and 'dragon's tomb'—to the Dragon Emperor, and he should understand

"Of course, if you refuse, I'm leaving now! Within two months, Dragon Valley will be completely destroyed."

"Lu Zheng is not speaking alarmist nonsense; once the demonized dragon god breaks free from its bonds, Dragon Valley will surely be utterly destroyed, and any survivors will likewise be demonized, becoming no different from abyssal slaves."
