The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 69

If one wanted to practice using the 'Secret Dragonblood Manual', one would have to awaken the Dragonblood within its veins. But there were only two ways that it was possible for one to move a Dragonblood within its veins. The first was to reach a certain minimum level of Dragonblood density within one's veins. The second was to drink the fresh blood of a living dragon.

But drinking the blood of a living dragon is very dangerous.

Dragon blood, even when applied topically, would cause great pain, to not drink it. However, everything in the world has its opposite. Blueheart Grass, when paired with dragon blood, was made for an extremely powerful mixture. But Blueheart Grass was extremely rare. Linley had previously asked about the price.

A patch of Blueheart Grass was worth tens of thousands of gold coins. Moreover, it was a rare item that often could not be bought even if one had money. Doehring Cowart once said: “The blood of living dragons is very strong. Normally, one patch of Blueheart Grass was not enough. If you are going to drink a lot of live Dragon Blood, you will need more Blueheart Grass. ”

A patch of Blueheart Grass was already that expensive. How could Linley afford it? Perhaps his entire fortune of 70,000, earned over this month, would only be enough to buy one patch.

“Blueheart Grass, Blueheart Grass! Heaven was so good to me. "Linley felt an unspeakable joy.

Linley excitedly jumped straight away, falling several tens of meters before landing against the cliff on the other side. And then, he immediately started muttering those words into a spell. In a short moment, Linley's entire body was surrounded by the flowing air elemental essence, and a stream of air began to surround him as well.

Wind style spell of fifth rank – Floating Technique.

At his current level, Linley could only let his body float, rather than actually fly. Floating means letting itself float up or down vertically. Taking a step forward, Linley stood in midair before slowly starting to drift, slowly descending into the deep, foggy canyon. Bebe enviously stood on Linley's shoulder as they descended. Although Bebe was rather strong, he was unable to fly. He was not a flying-type magical beast, so he would only be able to fly after becoming a Saint-level magical beast.

The canyon was filled with white mist, which roamed around. The deeper Linley went, the greater the distance between the canyon walls became. Immediately, Linley landed near the Blueheart Grass.

"Blueheart grass is dark green, but it emits a dim blue light. Blueheart Grass is cool to the touch. When the blades of the grass were torn apart, they would give off a very cold dark green liquid when drunk. "Linley remembered well this explanation in the Ernst Institute's library of Blueheart Grass.

Gazing at the Blueheart Grass growing from the cliff, rustling gently in the wind, Linley took a deep breath, then carefully plucked out the Blueheart Grass.

“It's very cold. "When he touched the Blueheart Grass, he felt as if he had touched a piece of ice. He immediately placed the Blueheart Grass into his backpack, and then looked around. "I wonder if there's any more Blueheart Grass here!"

A place capable of giving birth to a patch of Blueheart Grass was capable of giving birth to one second.

Using the Floating Technique, Linley continued to drift downward into the turbulent white mist. At the same time, Linley continued to close his eyes, although the fog made everything blurry. He could see countless vines twisting about the cliff.

"That's awesome!"

The further into the canyon he went, the more Linley realized how big this place really was. At the top of the canyon, the distance between the two walls was probably only a few hundred meters, but now, Linley was sure that the distance was really at least several thousand meters. He continued to drift close to the wall. Using his vision, his flotation speed, and his angle against the wall, he could guess this distance.

"Repeat…"

“Grr…. ”

All sorts of low-pitched growls came from below, occasionally audible. They come from different places. Just judging from his voice alone, there must be over a hundred magical beasts below. Linley could not help but feel the quail of his heart. “Magic beast. There are many magical beasts below! "Just from hearing the sound, Linley could tell.

Linley fixed himself against the cliff wall while gripping the vines with his hands as he descended slower and more carefully.

“Bos, I can feel great danger below. "Bebe suddenly said to Linley through their mental link.

Linley also felt as if his heart was stiffening. The further he went, the clearer the growl of a savage beast became. That low grunt was very strong. Clearly, they came from a large-sized magical beast. In general, large magical beasts were not weak. Strong magical beasts were not always big, but large magical beasts were generally strong.

Linley suddenly saw directly beneath him, far away, was another patch of Blueheart Grass. Around the Blueheart Grass there were many green vines and shrubs. As Linley was not a person who was afraid to start, upon seeing the Blueheart Grass, Linley began to float while keeping his hand gripped onto the rattan vines.

But at this point in time, Linley completely failed to see …

Rolled amidst the green vines surrounding the Blueheart Grass was a gigantic green python snake, at least twenty meters long and thick enough that it needed two people to embrace it. The giant python was extremely green and was also wrapped around like a rattan vine. Given that it was also slightly covered by the fog, Linley did not notice that it was there at all.

As he descended, Linley got closer and closer to the Blueheart Grass.

"Boss, careful! That's a terrible python! "Bebe suddenly, immediately said to Linley through their link.

"Python?" Linley.

Actually all python-type magical beasts were extremely powerful. Even the weakest Trihorn Python was a magical beast of the sixth rank. Linley immediately scanned his surroundings carefully. Now, Linley was roughly about a hundred meters away from the giant python. After carefully searching for it, he quickly found a giant python.

"Whoahs. "Linley took a deep breath.

It was a thirty meter long python, as thick as a water barrel, making Linley's heart quail. “Python Tattooed Green. Magical beast of the seventh rank – Green Tattooed Python. “Information he knew about this type of Python immediately came to my mind.

Now, Linley also realized why this canyon had so much white fog.

“Fog Technique is just a water style technique of the first rank. A Green Tattooed Python, a magical beast of the seventh rank, could produce an enormous and almost infinite amount of white mist around it. With this canyon having so much fog with such density, there must be more than one Green Tattooed Python here. ”

Linley immediately came to this realization.

This canyon has a depth and width of about ten kilometers. In order for such a huge canyon to be completely covered in white mist, one could only imagine how many pythons were here. That Green Tattooed Python that was hiding in the middle of the vines suddenly moved. His large head turned to look at Linley, and his two cold eyes stared deathly at him.

“Grrr…. ”

A terrifying sound came out from the mouth of the Green Tattooed Python, and at the same time, it shot forward at high speed.

"Brach!" "Just!" "Gerrr!" The entire canyon began to be filled with the calls of various ferocious beasts. At the same time, a loud and loud voice sounded. Glancing downwards, Linley saw that over ten large creatures were moving towards him. And, Linley could tell that these ten were only a small portion of the creatures in this ravine.

"Running away!"

Faced with the attack by the Green Tattooed Python, Linley immediately began to drift at maximum speed. Controlling the strength of the wind, it is able to make the flotation pressure exceed its weight, causing it to slide upwards at an astonishing speed. While flying upwards, Linley could already see the enormous Green Tattooed Python crawling along the cliff wall. Cold, the snake eyes stared at Linley, promising death while the snake itself hissed nonstop.

"Squeak up! Screeched! "

A high piercing bird split through the air, and from below, dozens of giant birds suddenly charged forward in pursuit of Linley.

"Dragonhawk! They are Dragonhawks! "Linley's face immediately turned into white paper.
