Capítulo 881: Chapter 412: Ten Thousand Dragon Lake (Part 2)

But they are not qualified Forbidden Zone civilizations; most of their creatures still follow their instincts. Each area operates independently, and without special circumstances, they do not leave their territory.

To compete for the nourishment of the Golden Ancient Tree, the closer to the core region, the fiercer the battles become.

Ye Boshou once witnessed two Overlord Level Ancient Dragons fighting brutally over a territory. He even managed to obtain some Overlord-level materials, like broken horns and broken tails.

This behavior prevents them from forming civilizations like Black Origin City and Heavenly Kingdom.

Threats to the Giant City are relatively minor.

At the same time, it is also the best source for the Human Giant City to harvest Extraordinary Materials.

Li Yelai is certain that at least a hundred Ye Boshou teams are currently hunting in the Doomsday Forest.

“Didn’t see the Golden Ancient Tree.” Li Yelai looked for a while but did not see the allegedly sky-obscuring golden tree.

If he could obtain its tree sap, the Old Mad King wouldn’t have to suffer so much.

Now, Li Yelai has obtained the Divine Demon Stele, which theoretically can suppress the curse for the Old Mad King.

But the Old Mad King’s curse is trigger-type, and currently, Li Yelai cannot survive the King Battle.

If only the Old Mad King were on the Divine Protection Path…

Moon Shadow said: “To see the Golden Ancient Tree, you must enter the Forbidden Zone. In each area of the Forbidden Zone, you can see the branches of the Golden Ancient Tree.”

Li Yelai nodded slightly and then saw a treasure sword appear in Sword Madman’s hand.

The next second, a mature Flying Dragon rapidly soared into the air among the sea of trees in the distance.

The biggest difference between Flying Dragons and Ancient Dragons is their size and appearance; the Flying Dragon species are smaller, have dragon wings, but lack forelimbs. An adult is only around the Fifth Sense level.

And Ancient Dragons are the exact opposite.

This is also why Li Yelai can quickly distinguish between Flying Dragons and Ancient Dragons.

At this moment, that Flying Dragon was directly sliced apart by a purple blade light.

Simultaneously, a low tiger roar came.

It was a giant tiger with massive saber teeth and eyes emitting purple flames.

Its body was covered in thick dark purple armor, with two sharp arm blades growing from its forelimbs.

It emerged from the mountain, gazing at the meteors in the sky, and let out a series of low growls.

“It’s the ecological niche king of the Molten Cave, the Shaking Heaven Wailing Tiger.” Sword Madman looked down at the Wailing Tiger and said, “It sensed the aura of the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon, and it’s a bit agitated.”

“Ignore it; if we don’t enter its territory, it won’t act rashly.”

Indeed, seeing the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon not lingering, the Wailing Tiger roared a few times and then picked up the Flying Dragon’s corpse and returned to the tree sea.

However, upon returning to its lair, it smelled the stench of blood.

At the same time, it found some uninvited guests.

Most of them had pure white wings, but one had three pairs of black wings.

When it saw that creature trampling on its cubs, the Shaking Heaven Wailing Tiger let out a horrifying roar!

Purple flames surged!

“Is this the last one?” the black-winged Angel said casually, seemingly indifferent to an ecological niche king’s killing intent.

Of course, he didn’t need to care; as the offspring of a King.

He was one of the most noble beings in the Forbidden Zone, and the threat of an Extraordinary Creature really wasn’t worth his attention.

“Yes, sir. It’s the one.” Someone softly responded.

His eyes were twisting with horrifying Chaotic Eyes….

….

On the other side, the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon bypassed the outer region of the Doomsday Forest, stirring some Extraordinary Creatures. But given the Ancient Dragon’s formidable might, they hesitated for a long time and ultimately did not attack. They didn’t want to get injured and then have their territory stolen by other creatures.

This is also the usual state of the Doomsday Forest; if in the Giant City, any enemy overlord dares pass the Giant City’s outskirts like this, they’d have been struck down.

Once Li Yelai and his companions distanced themselves from the Doomsday Forest, they encountered no other dangers.

As long as you don’t approach the Forbidden Zone and special terrains, a Four-Awakened Spirit User could say the world is vast and there’s nowhere they can’t go, let alone a mature Ancient Dragon.

With the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon advancing at full speed, two hours after exiting the Forbidden Zone’s influence range,

Li Yelai and the other two arrived at Qian Province.

The place was indeed mountainous and steep.

Li Yelai looked around and saw rolling mountain peaks, with some pre-Calamity cities built on the mountains, even at the mountain tops.

“There are over a million mountain peaks here, plus a nearby Forbidden Zone, Demon Abyss Mountain. Even scavengers rarely come here.” Moon Shadow said: “Perhaps after climbing a mountain, the gains aren’t even enough to cover the fuel costs. Only Spiritual Ability Users can relatively easily enter them. Yang was able to find Ten Thousand Dragon Lake in this terrain, which, in a sense, was also luck.”

Li Yelai nodded slightly, thinking if he were here, he’d probably get lost.

Then, the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon continued onward.

And at dawn, they successfully found Ten Thousand Dragon Lake.

It was a lake surrounded by mountains, with no anomalies visible from above, but upon entering the valley, the inside was surprisingly spacious.

The internal space was more than ten times larger than seen from above.

Li Yelai also saw some Extraordinary Creatures he had never seen before, unsure if they were mutations or hybrids, among them quite a few Dragon Blood Creatures.

Some Extraordinary Creatures bore obvious Dragon Clan traits.

But their strength was very weak, possibly because Champion Team One and Fifth Team had cleared them out; Li Yelai couldn’t sense any over the Third Awakening level.

Similarly, Li Yelai also saw the human tribes from the intelligence reports.

They were scattered near the tributary of that giant lake; each had established uniquely shaped villages, and their civilization level… was quite peculiar.

Calling it low, they had crossbows made from Extraordinary Creature materials.

Calling it high, their living conditions were too primitive.

Li Yelai controlled the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon to land on a hillside not far from one of the villages.

As Li Yelai and the other two rode the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon down from the sky, many people in the villages were frightened, kneeling and kowtowing, shouting some unfamiliar yet somewhat familiar language. Most likely a variant of the local dialect, Li Yelai could barely understand a few words.

‘Immortal”sacrifice”forgive”atonement’

Clearly, they considered the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon a more powerful ‘Guardian God.’ And the three who descended from the Ancient Dragon were seen as even more powerful beings.

“They’ve been enslaved and fed for so long; even if Yang and the others saved them, it would take time to change their worldview.” Moon Shadow said.

“I understand; the gap has lasted so long that even the language is incomprehensible. Team One helped them eliminate the Abyss Dragon, but they might even resent us for killing their Guardian God.” Li Yelai nodded and returned the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon to the Reserve Space.

At this point, several black shadows quickly approached the landing point from afar.

They were the Five Team Ye Boshou stationed here, and Li Yelai recognized some of them.

The arrival of the Ancient Sky Comet Dragon naturally alerted them.

Upon seeing Li Yelai and the other two, they breathed a sigh of relief and approached quickly.

“Sword Madman Minister. Moon Shadow Captain, Champion Agent. East City Team 5, Orange Leopard Team coming to join!”

“Minister, just now, was that…” a member of the Five Team Ye Boshou tried to ask.

“Don’t mind it; it’s a Summoning Item.” Sword Madman replied: “That’s also why we could arrive so quickly. As for the main force arriving, it will be another two or three days. Are there any other situations? Still no contact?”

The Ye Boshou who went to No.3 Border City for help had been on the road for four days.

If Yang Chen and the others could have contacted the ground during this time, that would be great.

“There hasn’t been any communication, but…” the Ye Boshou of Team Five looked towards the lake: “We can faintly sense occasional battle fluctuations coming from underwater.”

“We wanted to dive into the lake to investigate, but the lake is bottomless, with many Abyss Dragons hidden. We suffered some losses and were unable to dive successfully.”
