"Aibo, let's set off to explore the Great Anthill Wasteland," Su Yi said to Lu Cao, watching the flying dragons still fighting under the forest sky.

"Now doesn't seem like a good time to explore the Ancient Tree Forest, meow," Luca said fearfully.

In the sky, fire dragons fight; in the forest, Anjanath and Thunderjaw Dragon roar; and deeper within, countless monsters lie in wait, eager to unleash their predatory desires and feast after the Kushala Daora departs.

"Aibo, do you know how to get to the Great Anthill Wasteland?" Su Yi asked.

The fastest and safest way, of course, is to pass through the Starry Sky Base and enter the Wasteland directly from another exit of the base.

However, Su Yi is currently unregistered, making it inconvenient for him to appear before the guild hunters at this time.

“Although I’ve never been to the Wildspire Wasteland, I’ve heard that you can bypass the stronghold and get to the Wildspire Wasteland by going through the wasteland and canyon on the east side of the Ancient Forest,” Dewgrass recalled.

“Then let’s set off from there. I don’t want to stay in the Ancient Tree Forest for another second.”

Looking around the ancient giant tree, where the fire dragon couple and the Azure Fire Dragon were still circling and confronting each other, Su Yi thought to himself: I wonder if the mysterious monster that indirectly covered the bird's theft of the fire dragon's egg that day was the Azure Fire Dragon.

Without further ado, Su Yi first opened the [map] of his cheat system. On it, there was an area covered in mist, marked with a path leading away from the Ancient Tree Forest.

This is a path I saw that day when I looked out from the ancient giant tree. It's a road that leads to the unknown, along the tall stone walls that surround the coral plateau.

"Although I don't know the specific route, I can take it as a general direction." Su Yi was like someone who had marked a mysterious area in a game and resolutely decided to explore it in the dark.

"Dew Grass, this is the real adventure!" Su Yi said with some excitement.

Because this is a place that has never been shown in the game, the edges and corners of this map may hold all sorts of scenery, which is as exciting as searching for Easter eggs hidden by the game developers in hidden areas.

"I've never been to that place either, meow." The cat became very interested; it was finally going to a place completely unknown to it!

Carefully traversing the bustling forest, the surrounding trees began to thin out, the fertile and abundant land gradually dried up, and the midday sun shone down, making one quite parched.

"I haven't even fully left the forest yet, and I'm already feeling the desert." Su Yi was glad that he usually kept a lot of water in his inventory.

"What a towering stone wall, meow." The cat exclaimed in amazement as it gazed at the stone wall that was hundreds of meters high.

"This towering stone wall that surrounds the Coral Highlands and the Miasma Valley might very well have been created by an ancient dragon," Su Yi said with a smile.

What Su Yi is referring to here is naturally the Serpent King Dragon that created the environment of the Miasma Valley, or rather, it is unknown whether it is a Serpent King Dragon or a special individual of the Serpent King Dragon.

In short, Su Yi's guess is that the huge basin and deep valley lying in the center of the New World, and the thousands of stone walls surrounding it, should be inextricably linked to the Serpent King Dragon.

"Ancient dragon?! Can an ancient dragon do something like this, meow?!" Dewgrass exclaimed in surprise.

In his view, the ancient dragon that caused the gales and torrential rains was already a natural disaster, and what immense power it must possess to cause such drastic changes in the terrain.

After all, while storms are natural disasters, they are still natural phenomena that one can witness several times in a lifetime. However, geological changes covering about a quarter of the New World may be something that several generations may never see.

"Did you know? In the Pokémon world, there are beings that can create land and sea, travel through time and space, and even create worlds," Su Yi said with a smile.

"How should I put it, meow, there's a feeling that it's not real, meow," Lucao said somewhat absentmindedly.

Su Yi laughed heartily, "Isn't this the fun of our adventures? Do fairies even have tails? In the end, no one can even be sure if fairies exist. That's why there's always an unknown and always an adventure. Isn't that interesting?"

Rather than living a life where he could see the end from the beginning, perhaps dying on the road to pursuing the unknown would be more in line with Su Yi's soul after breaking free from its constraints.

"Yes, meow! Let's keep going, meow!" Lucao was greatly encouraged and her expression became excited.

As you walk along the towering, desolate rock face, the surrounding path begins to narrow, with rock walls on both sides. Among the rocks on the barren ground, creatures still roam: scorpions, dung beetles, ants, and occasionally two or three rattlesaurus with heads resembling lion-headed geese fly overhead.

"Wait a minute!" Su Yi paused, and the guide insects at his waist suddenly flew out and gathered on a mark.

"What kind of monster makes this footprint?" Su Yi looked at the three-toed, forked footprint in front of him with a serious expression.

Among these similar footprints, the one he was most familiar with was probably the Deviljho. However, he wasn't a footprint expert and couldn't confirm what kind of monster it was, and he couldn't completely apply his experience from the game.

"It should be the footprints of some kind of beast dragon." Su Yi raised his head, looked around, and tried to find other clues.

"Meow!" Small cats are obviously more likely to find clues on the ground.

"This is... metal shavings?" Su Yi walked to the rock that Lu Cao pointed to and found the powdery fragments that had been blown there and had a metallic smell.

For a moment, Su Yi tried to combine these ideas together.

"Could it be?" Su Yi's pupils contracted, and he seemed to hear the clanging sound of sharp blades in his mind.

"Get out of here quickly!" Without saying a word, Su Yi quickened his pace. If you get stuck in a straight line like this, you'll just have to see if you can outrun the monster.

Fortunately, no other monsters were found on the road ahead, and the road widened. Every now and then, huge gaps were found in the surrounding rock walls, and looking into them, one could see deep cracks, leading to unknown places.

The road widens, and all around you can see ant mounds, some as high as ten meters or as low as a tiny sprout. If you were to ask who owns this wasteland of ant mounds, the answer would undoubtedly be the desert ant colony that built this stone forest of thousands of ant mounds. These architects, who have spread across the wasteland, have built their own ant mound empire here.

The raptor rested atop a towering anthill, the surrounding lush green cacti adding a touch of green to the desert.

"Coo coo!" A strange cry suddenly came from the towering ant mounds and stone forest.

Su Yi crouched down and entered the anthill forest. He looked closer to the sound and saw a gray-black furry dragon-like monster land next to a huge anthill, its rat-like head examining the outer shell of the anthill.

"It's the Floating Dragon, a subspecies of the Floating Dragon!" Su Yi looked at the scene before him with great interest.

The Floating Dragon took a deep breath and blew out a large amount of hypnotic gas towards a breach in the ant mound. Then, the Floating Dragon inhaled again, and the powerful suction immediately pulled out countless sleeping ants, sucking them into its belly like a whale swallowing a swarm of shrimp, and having a hearty meal.

"Another monster I've never seen before, meow! So it eats ants, meow!" Lucao exclaimed, her eyes wide with amazement.

The Floating Dragon, having had a hearty meal, spread its fluffy wings and slowly took off, preparing to leave. The surrounding Rattlescreams cried out to get away from the Floating Dragon, while the Floating Dragon bared its teeth and screamed, intimidating the noisy pterosaurs.

The Rattlesaw Pterosaur immediately became agitated, its sharp cries instantly assaulting the eardrums.

Su Yi covered his ears tightly and cursed, "Why did you provoke it?"

The sharp sound was like a whistle suddenly blowing in his ear. Su Yi immediately felt the world spinning, his steps unsteady, and the earth shaking.

"The earth is shaking." Su Yi's mind went blank for a moment, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"No way!"

The rumbling vibrations grew louder, and as sand and gravel tumbled down, the towering anthill swayed precariously, on the verge of collapse.

"Aibo!" Su Yi pulled Lu Cao, who hadn't come to her senses yet, and suddenly, a pile of stones rose up from the ground. Then, amidst flying sand and stones, the pile of stones caught up with them.

Rumble! Bang!

Sharp horns burst from the ground, seemingly piercing the sky; its enormous body leaped out of the shattered earth, then crashed heavily to the ground with a thunderous roar.

Its tail, resembling a warhammer, easily swept away a large anthill, while the ferocious beast with its horns roared as it raised its head.

Awooo!

The high-pitched roar once again ravaged Su Yi's eardrums, but the demon's horns before him pressed even harder on his nerves and challenged his courage.

"A horned dinosaur! And a pregnant black horned dinosaur during its breeding season!" Su Yi said through gritted teeth.

Su Yi should have been on guard when he saw the lush cacti around him!

Damn Sleeping Dragon! Damn Roaring Wyvern!

Swish! The Black Horned Dragon plowed a furrow with its feet, and at the same time, its dark, curved horns were aimed at Su Yi and Lu Cao.

“This place is too narrow, there’s only…” Su Yi quickly looked around, then immediately raised his hand and launched a grappling hook that nailed to the tall rock wall.

Whoosh!

At the critical moment, Su Yi, carrying the dew-covered grass, flew towards the rock wall, dodging the black-horned dragon's chariot.

Click!

The rock face, constantly eroded by wind and sand, could not withstand the weight and cracked and detached instantly.

"Whoa!" Su Yi plummeted downwards in an instant.

Thump! The texture wasn't soft sand! It was a hard shell!

Despite being dazed and sore all over, Su Yi immediately got up. The thing under his feet was moving, and the dark back was raised, trying to shake off Su Yi and Lu Cao.

Awooo!!

The Black Horned Dragon roared furiously, swinging its body and crashing into the surrounding rock walls and anthills. Su Yi used his grappling hook to firmly hook onto the Black Horned Dragon's carapace, while Dew Grass used its moves to grab and hold onto the rough shell.

"There!" Amidst the violent shaking, Su Yi found a relatively low cliff face. He hugged the cat, and in the brief moment when the black horned dragon stopped, he suddenly leaped up and used a grappling hook to grab a crevice in the cliff face.

click!

Woo!

The moment the hook was caught, the grappling hook retracted, bringing Su Yi up to the cliff face.

However, just as he clung to the rock wall and before he could climb up, a pair of huge claws appeared before him, and Su Yi instantly recalled the footprint in the canyon.

Su Yi suddenly looked up and saw a huge, metallic tail.

"Blazing Blade - Dragon Slayer!"

Roar!

He was greeted by a roar accompanied by the sound of metal scraping against metal.

Chapter 32: Drawing Hell, Straight Down to the Netherworld!

The moment Su Yi saw Zhanlong, he knew that things had taken a turn for the better.

If he were to face the Black Horned Dragon alone, it would be a life-or-death chase, and only with the intervention of external forces would he have a chance of survival.

Su Yi gritted his teeth and decisively flipped over and jumped down the cliff.

The black-horned dragon below stared intently at Su Yi, letting out a furious roar.

"I'll blast you with a flashbang!" Su Yi, still falling, fired a flashbang at the Black Horned Dragon.

呲!

A flash of light caused the Black Horned Dragon to take a step back, shaking its head.

The next moment, Su Yi launched his flying claw and hooked it onto the Black Horned Dragon's head. The next moment, a huge figure blocked out the sun and leaped off the cliff.

With a loud thud, Zhanlong looked at the Black Horned Dragon, flames erupting from its mouth.

"All! Fire!!" Su Yi quickly steadied himself. While looking at Zhanlong, he aimed at the Black Horned Dragon's head and fired all the projectiles of the scattering walnuts.

Bang!

The scattering of walnuts at close range created a huge explosion, instantly startling the Black Horned Dragon. It staggered and charged towards the Slayer Dragon directly in front of it, as if frightened.

Roar!

Seeing the Black Horned Dragon charging towards it, the Dragon Slayer twisted its body, transferring its power to the tail of its sword, and then slammed the tail blade down.
