chapter 371 part 2
Evileye's body fell from mid-air. After a brief stun, she quickly adjusted her posture and landed steadily on the ground.
"It seems something interesting has happened to you." Tang Zheng's colossal figure lazily crouched down on the ground. "I'm very interested, mortal."
"Your Excellency, Lord Dragon, my companions..." Evileye took a deep breath. She desperately wanted to know everything, but the safety of Lakyus and the others was equally important right now.
"Heh."
A cold, condescending sneer rang out. "Do you care about the dust beneath your feet, mortal?"
As soon as he said this, the tension in Evileye's nerves eased. She turned back, met the gazes of Lakyus and Gagaran, and nodded slightly.
We survived?
Gagaran didn't know what to feel at this moment, a bitter look appearing on her rugged face.
Lakyus propped herself up with her slender arms and gave Evileye a reassuring look.
In silence, Lakyus and Gagaran each picked up their dropped weaponry, then hoisted the unconscious Tina and Tia and staggered away towards the outskirts of the forest.
Throughout the entire process, Tang Zheng did not stop them.
Not until the figures of the two of them had completely vanished from sight.
Only then did Evileye turn back and bow deeply to Tang Zheng. "Your magnanimity is like the blazing sun at noon, Your Excellency, Lord Dragon."
"Boring flattery."
Tang Zheng said flatly.
Evileye looked at the powerful, imposing crimson dragon lord before her and suddenly felt that, aside from being a bit arrogant, his personality didn't seem so bad.
"I have never heard of Primordial Magic, nor do I know of the 'True Dragon Lord' Your Excellency mentioned."
Evileye suppressed the violent emotions in her heart, cautiously asking while pondering, "What are they?"
"You should know that not just any dragon can be called a Dragon Lord."
"The same is true for a 'True Dragon Lord.' Only a Dragon Lord who has mastered the power of Primordial Magic can be called a True Dragon Lord. It is the crown that belongs to a True Dragon Lord."
Tang Zheng's voice carried a strange emotion.
"And you possess the power of Primordial Magic, which under normal circumstances should be impossible."
Understanding flashed in Evileye's red pupils. She finally understood what was going on and faintly sensed the crimson dragon lord's objective.
"I do not know why I possess this power."
Evileye's hands, hidden under the cuffs of her red robe, clenched unconsciously as she murmured to herself, her voice filled with memories, "As Your Excellency, Lord Dragon, said, I was not originally an undead. It's just that once..."
Evileye briefly recounted the story of the Imperia Kingdom, which was suddenly destroyed 250 years ago. She concealed her former status as a princess, as well as some other information.
Hearing this, Tang Zheng's spirits lifted. His objective was finally achieved.
"I see."
"There is only one possible reason you survived that calamity. You possess some kind of special innate ability."
Tang Zheng added a hint of surprise to his tone, "No wonder you have the aura of Primordial Magic on you."
Evileye subconsciously took a step back.
She had never imagined that the reason she had survived back then was this.
What followed was irrepressible anger!
Some unknown True Dragon Lord caused everyone's death, but why would they do that!
"Can the people of that country still be saved?" Evileye's voice trembled uncontrollably as she asked pleadingly.
More than 200 years have passed. Even if they could have been saved, it's likely impossible now. Super-tier magic certainly couldn't do it; perhaps only a World Item would have that possibility.
Tang Zheng gave this answer in his heart.
"I have not mastered Primordial Magic, so I have no way of knowing." Tang Zheng's indifferent syllables rolled from between his teeth.
"However, I am very interested in that ruined country."
Evileye said emotionally, "Your Excellency, Lord Dragon, I can take you to that ruined country."
"Oh."
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly and changed the subject. "Have you heard of a country or place called the Holy Sanctuary? Mortal."
A moment later, Evileye departed alone, chasing after the members of Blue Rose who had left.
Whoosh!
His dragon wings spread open.
Tang Zheng gazed in the direction Evileye had disappeared, his expression silent. He thought to himself, "A decent harvest."
Not only had he obtained a series of skills from Blue Rose and the others, but more importantly, he had gotten a great deal of information from Evileye.
The Imperia Kingdom was the country where Evileye once lived, but Tang Zheng wasn't actually interested in that place.
What he truly wanted to learn from Evileye was information about the Holy Sanctuary. After all, a World Item existed in that place.
In the side story, Evileye and the Bone King had acquired that World Item from this place during their travels. Of course, that was something from a side story; the current situation could not be compared.
He had been prepared to come away with nothing.
He just didn't expect...
Tang Zheng's eyes glinted profoundly. He thought about how Evileye had stammered and even hesitated for a moment when she mentioned the Holy Sanctuary.
He actually doubted whether she truly knew anything.
But since it involved a World Item, Tang Zheng couldn't let go of even the slightest possibility.
"So be it."
"For now, information on World Items is limited," Tang Zheng sighed to himself.
Adjusting his form, Tang Zheng suddenly soared into the air, flying towards the eastern side of the jungle. A crimson shadow streaked across the sky.
In just a few breaths' time, Tang Zheng had already appeared above a fissure in the eastern forest. Below him, a dense horde of goblins came into view.
BOOM!
Tang Zheng's figure dove down, his dragon tail whipping out and striking the ground. The entire earth shook, and the dense crowd of goblins was killed by the shockwave all at once.
At the same time, an invisible figure was slithering rapidly through the forest as if fleeing for its life.
"Too terrifying!"
"Too terrifying! To think a dragon would appear here." A cold sweat dripped from the Demon Snake Naga as he frantically twisted his snake body, trying desperately to escape.
He didn't know what had happened, nor could he be bothered with the task that human had given him to breed goblins. Faced with a powerful and terrifying dragon, his only choice was to flee.
A shadow fell over him.
A raging wind swept through, directly uprooting the lush trees ahead.
The Demon Snake Naga's entire body went rigid. The suppression from a higher level of life made his body freeze in place, unable to move even though he wanted to flee.
Trembling, he raised his head.
Before the Demon Snake Naga could see clearly what was happening, he was enveloped by a giant, crimson shadow, and his body was instantly turned into a paste of flesh.
"Since the Adventurer's Guild has already discovered the anomaly in the Touv Great Forest, the breeding plan here will have to stop for now."
Tang Zheng raised his dragon claw, his expression cold as he looked at the large crater before him and the puddle of pulped flesh inside.
He planned to move the breeding plan to the hills region, which naturally meant the Demon Snake Naga no longer had any reason to exist.
A sharp fingertip flicked through the Demon Snake Naga's pulped remains, picking out a piece and storing it in his item box. He planned to repeatedly "resurrect" and kill the Demon Snake Naga to prevent any unexpected developments.
