chapter 375 part 2
"The future arrival point of the King of the Great Tomb."
Tang Zheng circled in mid-air. This was the place known as the cursed land. A grave look flashed in his eyes.
There wasn't much here that interested him.
At least for now, the only thing that piqued his interest was the legendary ghost ship.
"I've left a mark. I'll come back to find that ghost ship when I have time," Tang Zheng thought to himself.
Reconfirming Evileye's direction, he teleported and vanished once more.
Compared to Tang Zheng, who could teleport with ease, Evileye had to teleport a full three times just to leave the Katze Plains before entering the southeastern territory of the Baharuth Empire.
Then came the—Flying Dragon Mountain Range!
This place was located south of the Baharuth Empire, north of the Dragon Kingdom, and east of the Katze Plains—a vast, rolling mountain range.
It was inhabited by a powerful human tribe known as the Flying Dragon Tribe.
Only at this moment did Tang Zheng truly gain a relatively clear understanding of the northwestern corner of the continent where humans lived.
*Swoosh—!*
The massive, invisible figure soared over the Flying Dragon Mountain Range, gazing down at the area, which was far larger than the Angelicisia Mountain Range.
"No wonder that of all the places where humans live, only the Casanas City-State Alliance in the far north and the Dragon Kingdom in the far south suffer threats from demi-human factions."
"The Baharuth Empire, located in the far east, has not been threatened by demi-humans."
Tang Zheng observed the mountain range, a look of understanding on his face.
"It's entirely due to the barrier of this mountain range. With the topographical advantage, the Baharuth Empire doesn't need to face the demi-human threat directly at all."
The continuous use of teleportation magic had severely drained Evileye's mana, forcing her to stop and rest.
——Mid-Wind Month.
May 28th.
After seven full days of travel, Tang Zheng couldn't even be sure how much distance they had crossed, because, for the last few days, Evileye had mostly resorted to flight.
After all, several hundred years had passed, and Evileye's memories of this area had long since blurred, making it impossible for her teleportation magic to lock onto precise locations. She could only resort to the clumsy method of flying.
This was why it had taken so long, even with the ability to teleport.
A cold wind blew, making the red cloak on Evileye's body flutter. She stood in a place where the aura of Negative Energy was dense, where even the land was tainted, much like the Katze Plains.
The soil had a dusty gray hue.
There was no smell of rot in the air; instead, there was a coldness that made even the living feel a bone-chilling cold, even during the day.
At a glance, "devoid of life" was the perfect description for this place.
Evileye stood quietly on this land, gazing into the distance, an aura of sorrow rising from her.
"I'm back, everyone."
"King... Mother..." Evileye's eyes became dazed. As she set foot on this land again, long-lost memories became clear.
His golden dragon eyes growing cautious, Tang Zheng descended while observing, coming to a stop above Evileye's head. "Is this the once-destroyed kingdom, the Imperia Kingdom?"
A deep voice suddenly rang out from mid-air.
"Yes, Lord Dragon Lord."
Hearing the voice appear from thin air, Evileye reined in the sorrow in her heart and replied with reverence.
*We've finally arrived!*
Tang Zheng's heart settled, and the outline of a map formed from his observations over this period appeared in his mind.
He hadn't expected the Imperia Kingdom to be so far from the human nations.
Humans were situated in the northwestern corner of the continent. The easternmost country was the Baharuth Empire, followed by the vast Flying Dragon Mountain Range, which served as a defensive line for humans, with gaps at the northern and southern corners.
After that were the various Orc nations!
According to Evileye, there were a total of five Orc countries in the region east of the Flying Dragon Mountain Range. Only after crossing this region did one arrive at the area where the fallen Imperia Kingdom was located.
And even arriving here, they were still merely in the western region of the continent. The five Orc countries were a completely different concept from the Orc Kingdom among the Six Great Nations in the center of the continent.
Tang Zheng's gaze swept over his stat panel.
【Experience Slot: 18,380,000 / 1,880,000】
In seven days, he had gained about 10 million experience points. The method of acquisition, naturally, was Tang Zheng using 7th-tier High-Tier Teleportation to return to human territories to farm.
At the same time, he also tested the range of High-Tier Teleportation.
So far, Tang Zheng could confirm that he still hadn't reached the distance limit of High-Tier Teleportation; he could freely travel back and forth to the human territories.
...
Skill: Rapid Mana Recovery
Cost: None (Cooldown 24 hours)
Description: When the skill is activated, the user cannot move or attack, and can recover 50% of their mana within half an hour.
...
Aside from the experience points he had gained, Tang Zheng's biggest harvest over the past few days was finally getting this special skill, Rapid Mana Recovery, from Evileye.
In the YGGDRASIL system, there were no means of mana recovery. For a magic caster, mana was their lifeline.
This skill of Evileye's was an ability that couldn't possibly exist in the game.
"Lord Dragon Lord, can you be certain that it was Wild Magic that turned the living into zombies?"
Evileye's voice suddenly rang out, pulling Tang Zheng back to his senses.
Tang Zheng looked toward the few scattered zombies in the distance. After a brief silence, his voice slowly drifted from the empty air: "I can't be certain based on just a few zombies."
"However, you should already know the answer."
"You were able to survive, and you bear the aura of Wild Magic, all thanks to the Innate Ability you possess."
At this, Tang Zheng let out a strange, low laugh. "So you've confirmed that it was the work of Wild Magic. Are you planning to seek revenge on the True Dragon Lord who destroyed your kingdom? I am, after all, a member of the Dragon Race myself."
"I... I don't know." Evileye's body inexplicably tensed up, and she gave a noncommittal answer.
During this time, she had consistently acted humbly precisely to avoid the hostility of this Crimson Dragon Lord.
"Heh heh."
Tang Zheng let out a cryptic laugh, making Evileye more and more nervous. "If you want revenge, I might be able to help."
"Ah, eh?"
Evileye was clearly stunned, letting out a bewildered sound subconsciously before quickly catching herself.
"I am weak. I could not possibly be a match for a Lord Dragon Lord, let alone the True Dragon Lord who wields Wild Magic."
"Don't assume that the relationships between dragons are good, Evileye," Tang Zheng continued faintly, knowing that Evileye wouldn't believe him.
"This is quite a nice place."
Tang Zheng quietly sensed the dense Negative Energy in this area, his golden pupils flickering slightly as he spoke with a tempting voice:
"Evileye, do you want to become stronger?"
Evileye remained silent. To be precise, she didn't know how to answer. They hadn't had much contact during their time together.
Even now, she couldn't truly comprehend this Crimson Dragon Lord's personality and thoughts.
