"Crack!"
Lightning tore through the heavens and the earth, a terrifying spectacle.
Ye Yang's expression was grave as he stood at the edge of Dragon Abyss, gazing into the unfathomable chasm. He couldn't help but ask, "Where does it lead to down there?"
Yun Xiaoxi shook her head with a smile, chuckling, "Do you want to go down? I've sensed very complex powers appearing at the bottom of Dragon Abyss, including the Starry Sky Beast. Shall we head down immediately?"
Zhang Tianhe leaned forward to take a look, his body trembling slightly. "I can't see anything; how can we go down?"
Yun Xiaoxi turned to Ye Yang. "How about a Bright Flame ball?"
"Sure!"
Ye Yang nodded, spreading his fingers to instantly condense a massive fireball, which he hurled into the abyss. Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared below, revealing that the walls of the hundred-meter-wide chasm were covered in vines and poisonous plants. Additionally, some colorful creatures were perched on the rocky walls, resembling large bats.
Of course, the three of them knew those weren't just large bats!
Ye Yang gasped and said, "Are those... Pterosaurs?"
Yun Xiaoxi nodded with a smile. "That's right!"
"There must be thousands of them..." Zhang Tianhe said with a tremor in his voice.
Yun Xiaoxi extended a finger and smiled. "There are definitely no fewer than one hundred thousand, most of which are Colorful Dragons from the Eighth-Stage Beasts. Actually, they are a type of snake with wings. Ancient texts from Pre-Qin times, like the Classic of Mountains and Seas, recorded them as Colorful Serpents. However, after years of cultivation, these creatures learned to fly and became highly venomous, instilling fear across the continent. Thus, they have been misnamed as Colorful Dragons."
Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe were astonished.
Yun Xiaoxi continued, "Besides Colorful Dragons, there are also some Fire-Devouring Dragons—about several hundred of them. I've already killed nearly a hundred; there are still quite a few left. Then there's the Starry Sky Beast; I haven't encountered one yet, but we should be able to see it soon..."
Zhang Tianhe shuddered, "You want to go down?"
"Yes!"
Yun Xiaoxi, with bright and charming eyes, looked at Ye Yang and smiled, "Ye Yang is the clue to completing my master's mission. I cannot let you die. Therefore, if you want to go deep into the Dragon Abyss, I must accompany you!"
Ye Yang glared at her, "I already said I want to go have tea!"
Yun Xiaoxi chuckled lightly, "You can have tea anytime. Right now, the Dragon Abyss is right in front of you. Are you really willing to leave so easily? I can tell you that there may be Divine Weapons hidden within the Dragon Abyss. It's not just simple One-Grade Weapons or Second-Grade Weapons; it could very well be Heavenly Divine Weapons or Earth Divine Weapons!"
Ye Yang gazed at the abyss and couldn't help but swallow hard, "How... do we get down?"
Yun Xiaoxi smiled, "It's simple. Didn't you see that the walls of the Dragon Abyss are covered in Vines? Although they are poisonous, if you use True Qi for protection and grab onto them, it should be enough to lower yourself without falling to your death."
Zhang Tianhe held his Hammer and said, "Zi Yu, won't it be too dangerous if we just go down like this?"
Ye Yang nodded, "Yeah, not to mention those high-level dragon species; even if the Starry Sky Dragon doesn't attack, those Colorful Dragons would be enough trouble for us. Moreover, Colorful Dragons are highly toxic; one misstep could lead us to our demise in the Dragon Abyss..."
Yun Xiaoxi glanced over as if she could see through Ye Yang's thoughts and couldn't help but say, "Why so much chatter? Don't worry about going down. In the area of the Colorful Dragons, those little snakes definitely won't harm you. If a Starry Sky Beast appears, you two don't need to lift a finger; I'll handle it!"
Ye Yang was waiting for this assurance and clapped his hands with a smile, "Miss Xiaoxi, this is too much trouble for you. Once we return to Liang City, I will definitely host a banquet in your honor!"
Yun Xiaoxi replied, "Just go down already. What's the point of saying useless things? You can talk about that after you manage to come back alive!"
"Okay!"
...
Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe finally firmed their resolve. With Yun Xiaoxi, this Starry Sky Expert willing to help, they indeed had a chance of surviving in the Dragon Abyss. Otherwise, even a casual encounter with a Starry Sky Beast could easily lead to their deaths.
"Wow!"
Leaping down, Ye Yang grabbed a sturdy vine with one hand, using its momentum to swing through the air.
Zhang Tianhe did not have Ye Yang's finesse in controlling his strength, but he managed to grab two vines in succession and leap down. The Warhammer on his back made loud clanging noises as he swung through the air like a swinging giant.
Yun Xiaoxi floated gracefully down, her stunning figure gliding through the air before plummeting downward.
In the Dragon Abyss, which was dark and deep with no visible bottom, the Colorful Dragons clinging to the rocky walls above were immediately disturbed. Many of them flapped their wings and took to the air, emitting hissing sounds as they rushed forward.
With one hand gripping the vine and the other drawing out the Breaking Flame Sword from behind him, Ye Yang exerted a bit of force. Flames surged around the sword's body, instantly elevating his power to its peak state. However, he did not transform into the Fire God Warrior; facing Earth Level Eight magical beasts did not require Ye Yang to go all out. After all, he already possessed mid-level Earth Level Eight strength, and with the Fire God Fragment True Qi and Heaven and Earth Shield, his combat power was at least close to Ninth Rank!
"Whoosh!"
The Wilderness Thunder sliced through the air with a single strike, trailing intense flames and lightning. Two Colorful Dragons let out shrill cries as their wings were severed, blood splattering as they fell helplessly.
As a result, the remaining Colorful Dragons caught the scent of blood and immediately went mad, rushing over and quickly devouring their injured companions until only a pile of bones remained. The scene was brutal and hard to witness.
On another front, Zhang Tianhe had already reached Peak of Earth Level Eight strength. With one arm swinging continuously, he unleashed three powerful True Qi punches!
"Xingtian's Three Wrath!"
Accompanied by a muffled grunt, one Colorful Dragon was struck and fell with a groan, its abdomen nearly pierced by the fierce punch. This demonstrated just how terrifying Zhang Tianhe's strength had become!
"Hiss!"
The injured Colorful Dragon desperately flapped its wings and twisted its body. Its approximately five-meter-long neck struggled fiercely as its snake-like head opened wide to emit a wail, blood-red tongue flicking out, causing Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe to feel nauseous.
Yun Xiaoxi frowned and said, "Don't get too close to these Colorful Dragons. They are all asleep and do not actively attack others; as long as you keep your distance, there won't be any danger."
Ye Yang nodded and looked around. The internal diameter of the Dragon Abyss corridor was about 50 meters. With his jumping ability, he should be able to leap between the sides. Although he didn't have the same grace as Yun Xiaoxi when flying, he wouldn't be as awkward as he was now.
Looking down, the middle section was densely packed with Colorful Dragons. Further down, about a hundred meters away, there was a rock wall covered in green vines, which should be safe.
After making up his mind, he circulated True Qi through his legs and suddenly pushed off, his body flying toward the other side. At the same time, Sharp Sword floated with flames, helping him maintain balance as he landed steadily at his intended spot.
"Smack!"
He successfully landed and avoided the dense area of Colorful Dragons; otherwise, charging through would have drained a significant amount of True Qi, something neither Ye Yang nor Zhang Tianhe could afford.
Seeing Ye Yang's actions, Zhang Tianhe followed suit and landed steadily beside him in one smooth motion.
"Haha! Colorful Dragons are nothing like this!" Zhang Tianhe laughed.
However, Ye Yang couldn't smile. He stared intently at Zhang Tianhe's back, where Li Zheng glowed with a pair of red lights—those were the eyes of a giant dragon slowly opening. It was none other than a Ninth-Order Fire-Absorbing Dragon waking from its slumber!
The Fire-Devouring Dragon had been hanging upside down on the rock wall like a bat but was now awakened. Its fierce eyes fixed on the two uninvited guests, causing Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe to shiver in fear!
