"One-eyed, find the strongest creature in this mountain."
Just a moment ago, One-eyed was in the soul realm space and naturally didn't know what was happening.
But now, seeing the black light curtain that enveloped the entire town and Wen Yu's gloomy expression, even One-eyed could roughly understand that something bad had occurred!
Hearing Wen Yu's command, One-eyed sniffed the air a couple of times, trying his best to discern the scents in the atmosphere.
After a while, One-eyed barked twice at Wen Yu and took the lead as he dove into the dense forest, with Wen Yu closely following behind!
...
With the invasion of demonic energy, the plants in the forest, which were not previously dense, began to grow wildly!
Fortunately, at this moment, the mutation speed of the plants was generally slow, so the few mutated plants could not impede Wen Yu and One-eyed's progress.
Moreover, the forest within the range of Chaihe Town was not very large!
Before long, One-eyed stopped in his tracks.
"Woof woof."
"Big boss, up ahead, the strongest!"
In fact, One-eyed didn't need to say anything further; Wen Yu could already feel the immense pressure and a dominating aura ahead.
"It's really terrifying."
Sensing the dangerous aura in front of him, Wen Yu sighed softly while his mind quickly summarized the unknown battle that had occurred in the mountains earlier that morning.
A grand battle had unfolded between the two kings of the mutated beasts! The giant eagle, being the defeated party, naturally had no right to continue living in the mountains! Then, while escaping, the giant eagle conveniently had a meal!
Thus resulting in the embarrassing situation before them!
"Being caught in the crossfire!"
Wen Yu muttered quietly.
"Prepare for battle."
As Wen Yu issued his command, One-eyed slightly crouched down and took the lead towards the front.
Wen Yu's purpose for coming was to seek support, but he couldn't guarantee that the unknown existence ahead was aware of the current situation.
Whether a battle would occur, Wen Yu couldn't be certain, but without a doubt, the probability of a battle happening was quite high!
...
As Wen Yu and One-eyed stealthily advanced, the battlefield scene unfolded before their eyes.
The trees and plants on the ground had been completely destroyed, with cracks scattered everywhere.
This was the result of the interplay between ice and flames!
Ahead, a diamond-like icy ancient tree stood quietly in the center of this clearing!
The ancient tree was enormous and majestic, but now, everything had become a thing of the past.
The ancient tree now bore not a trace of life, its translucent body glimmering faintly under the mottled sunlight, resembling a monument that stood forever.
It was not it.
Wen Yu could feel that the king of this forest was not this dead ancient tree.
"Then..."
Wen Yu slowly surveyed the surroundings until he spotted a small head above the ancient tree.
The pure black head resembled a snake, but it was more three-dimensional than a snake, with a pair of light yellow vertical pupils quietly watching Wen Yu and One-eyed from a distance.
The head, smaller than a baby's fist, had two tiny sharp horns standing up, the slightly red little horns appearing tender and cute.
All the exposed skin on its face was covered by a layer of scales that glimmered with black light, the dense and orderly scales giving Wen Yu a feeling of being unbreakable.
Upon seeing this little creature, Wen Yu's scalp instantly tingled.
This creature, judging by its appearance alone, absolutely did not belong to any known species; instead, it looked like— a dragon!
A black giant dragon imagined by people in Western mythology! Although its size was much smaller!
"It must be it."
Wen Yu asked in a deep voice towards One-eyed.
One-eyed nodded cautiously, while the muscles on its body continuously rippled.
The intuition, far sharper than that of humans, kicked in at this moment!
Although the creature before them was not proportionate in size to One-eyed, the sense of danger it brought was extremely intense!
