Before activating this ability, the high-dimensional vision of \"Hawk Eye\" seemed to be the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this the power of the dragon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En had always underestimated the power of the \"dragon\"; in his view, the power of beasts was far more practical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, the dragon era was far more glorious and dominant than the beast era, and the \"True Dragon,\" the sworn enemy of beasts, could never be weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The \"Dragon Speech\" ability of dragon descendants is a variant of dragon language spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could such a combat system, which in past history created eras and shaped history, possibly decline?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Dragon Vein further activated. Dragon Speech Mage ascends to second tier.】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon Speech, the privilege to describe and command all things, fused the powers of \"Hawk Eye\" and \"Spatial Art\" into one, ultimately forming this incantation unique to Li En alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Record, understand, reconstruct, shape, command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"voth (path)\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unstoppable path—a path of ambition bridged by ideals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En turned back and watched Di Meng and the others hurry to keep up; he realized that the path he had carved could only be followed by those who trusted him and were willing to follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I only want people to live like human beings.\" At least for now, Li En desired nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En sighed; perhaps in this world, that was the most luxurious ambition of all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest for ten minutes, then continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En scanned the area and finally spotted a safe zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unconsciously, Li En, whose strength was not the strongest, had taken command of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The squad should detoxify where necessary and bandage where necessary. Notably, the paladins' \"Minor Restoration\" spell proved fairly effective against poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scorpion Lion is a fast-acting lethal poison that attacks blood vessels and the nervous system; one misstep can cause cardiac arrest—or even explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if one survives, low-tier divine arts can effectively manage the aftereffects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch.

Those who had been struck by poison spines were probably already lying on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On one hand, he relied on his armor's durability to tank it; on the other, he had grown impatient, deliberately trading blows with Lex. Lex's instincts weren't necessarily helpful here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The high-speed, high-efficiency combat style naturally carries high risk and high cost; along this path, Li En had been accumulating wounds continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to be more careful—just because there's no immediate life threat doesn't mean I can tank it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En bore many wounds; without the \"Deer Heart,\" he likely would have collapsed already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high-defense, high-attack style crushes novices, but against opponents of equal or greater strength, it easily leads to collapse due to accumulated wounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The armor's recovery also takes some time.\" Li En touched the Deer Heart, thinking of the unknown whereabouts of the Purple Rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This artifact from the Prince of Deer was truly a divine tool for him; once the Black Dragon Armor was regarded as part of his own body, it gained a degree of self-healing ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But outward healing doesn't mean true recovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Li En's \"Black Dragon Armor\" had self-repaired most visible wounds, the newly formed scales were much thinner and easily became fatal puncture points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thankfully it's black armor.\" That was perhaps the only thing worth celebrating—these new pale scales blended inconspicuously against the dark main body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En himself ate heartily; as a hybrid of dragon and beast, he possessed, in a sense, the \"food-healing\" trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest period was brief, but invaluable to warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest, eat, heal—after a professional warrior's efficient short break, at least thirty percent of their condition could be restored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, for Li En, who had awakened the \"voth\" ability, it became much easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He focused on guiding, stepping back from the frontline, devoting most of his energy to \"observation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this environment, Hawk Eye's range was severely limited—but as long as he avoided powerful monsters that wasted time, it was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me catch my breath.
