The buff is permanent, and you start the game with a fountain of water.

"I'm telling you, grandpa!"

Upon hearing the system notification, Huan Cheng immediately swore.

This godforsaken place has a spatial restriction; he needs to at least run out of Hidden Dragon Valley before he can use the dimensional stone.

He'd spent several days traveling from the valley entrance to here, stopping frequently along the way. Now you expect her to run back in ten minutes? That's pure fantasy!

Just as Huan Cheng was complaining about how unreliable the system was, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and his scalp tighten, alarm bells ringing in his mind.

"Ding, player Chengfeng, please note that you and your pet [Ali] have been marked by a level 75 Abyss Twin-Headed Dragon. The dragon can detect your location in real time through the mark."

A system notification appeared out of the blue. Huan Cheng turned his head and found himself facing the Abyss Dragon from afar.

Huan Cheng could clearly see naked greed in the dragon's eyes.

In fact, the Abyss Dragon noticed Huan Cheng the moment he appeared.

In its severely injured state, the dragon's nerves are extremely sensitive. The appearance of an alien creature like Huan Cheng immediately puts the dragon on high alert.

However, once it was confirmed that Huan Cheng was just a level 30 ant, the Demon Dragon lost interest in him.

Although it was severely injured and on the verge of death by Qing Ao and others, and although it was currently at a critical stage in casting the Abyss Devouring Spirit Technique, it still did not take Huan Cheng seriously.

What's there to worry about about a little bug that accidentally ends up on a Tyrannosaurus Rex's dinner table?

Huan Cheng quietly withdrew, and the demon dragon did not stop him, letting him leave.

But when Huan Cheng returned and threw the detection spell at him again, it got angry!

Do you really think the Abyss Dragon has a good temper?

Upon closer inspection, the demon dragon was surprised to discover that the inconspicuous little fox on Huan Cheng's shoulder was actually a demon general-level creature.

More importantly, this little fox, which is at the level of a demon general, is still in its infancy, with pure blood but weak strength.

This immediately filled the dragon with ecstasy.

If you devour the flesh and blood of a young demon general-level creature, not only will your injuries be fully healed, but you may even be able to take it a step further and break through to the demon lord level!

There is only a fine line between a Demon General and a Demon Lord, but their status and strength are vastly different.

Only by advancing to the rank of Demon Lord can one gain a foothold within the Demon Clan. Whether it's seeking refuge with a powerful Demon King or seizing a territory to establish oneself independently, both are viable options.

If it weren't for the critical moment when he was casting the Soul Devouring Technique, the demonic dragon would have loved to run over and devour the little fox whole, bones and all!

Suppressing his craving for the little fox's flesh, the Abyss Dragon immediately cast an aura mark, intending to devour the two as soon as he had a chance to free up his hands.

Huan Cheng frowned, gazing at the demonic dragon from afar.

For some unknown reason, Huan Cheng understood the dragon's intentions almost immediately. He even sensed the dragon's hidden desire for the little fox's flesh and blood!

The little fox, intimidated by the dragon's oppressive aura, tensed up, its tiny paws gripping Huan Cheng's collar tightly. It struggled to raise its head and meet the dragon's gaze, though its eyes were already brimming with tears.

Suddenly, Huan Cheng chuckled softly, turned his head and rubbed his cheek against Ah Li's little head, saying gently, "Little one, go and rest for a while!"

After saying that, he ignored Ahri's reaction and forcibly put her into the pet space.

He turned his neck, his joints cracking, and moved his wrists before calmly taking out the Bloodthirsty Demon Dragon Sword.

As expected of a B-grade mount, the Fiery Cloud Steed was restless under the pressure of the demonic dragon, but it still obeyed Huan Cheng's orders and carried him towards the demonic dragon.

"roar!"

This blatant provocation enraged the dragon, which roared to the sky, its magical runes glowing brighter, and the BOSS's howl became even more devastating.

Huan Cheng ignored all of this and charged towards the demonic dragon on his horse.

A savage glint flashed in the dragon's eyes. It opened its blood-red maw, intending to burn this audacious ant to death with a single breath.

However, even after the dragon's breath had been prepared, it was unable to be released.

As if its mouth had been forcibly sealed by an invisible hand, the dragon was horrified, realizing that it could not attack this ant!

Under the Breath of the Abyss, all creatures below the Immortal Spirit (Demon Lord) level are unable to launch an attack on him!

Like other Abyss-type skills, Abyss Breath also possesses a power akin to a rule. Although the Demon Dragon is very strong, it is still unable to resist Abyss Breath.

Under the horrified gaze of the demonic dragon, Huan Cheng hurried along and soon arrived a hundred meters in front of the dragon.

Influenced by the dragon's power, the Fire Cloud Steed trembled with fear and dared not take another step forward.

Seeing this, Huan Cheng did not force the issue. He dismounted, put the Fire Cloud Steed back into his mount space, and strolled towards the Demon Dragon with his sword in hand.

Unable to launch an attack, the demonic dragon grew somewhat uneasy and accelerated its spirit-devouring process.

The weaker Gold-level BOSSes were the first to succumb, turning into a cloud of blood mist under the ravages of the magic runes.

Blood mist slowly gathered along the demonic runes, and the Soul Devouring Array began to activate.

Huan Cheng ignored the dragon's oppressive aura and walked slowly to its front.

"You want to devour me?"

"Bah! What right do you have to be devoured by me? My target is that little fox at the Demon General level!"

The dragon roared inwardly, but its tyrannical and arrogant nature prevented it from answering Huan Cheng's question. Instead, it let out a deafening dragon roar.

"I have a skill that's quite powerful, but it comes at a high cost. I'd love to try it, but I haven't had the chance yet."

Ignoring the dragon's roar, Huan Cheng spoke slowly.

The dragon felt a little uneasy. It was the first time it had ever seen an ant in front of it that was so weak yet unaffected by the dragon's might.

Furthermore, the unique rule that made it impossible to attack also caused a sense of unease to well up in the dragon's heart.

"Thank you, it was your provocation that made me make up my mind!"

Huan Cheng's lips curled up slightly, as if he was genuinely thanking the Demon Dragon.

The dragon's unease grew stronger, and the urge to turn tail and run arose in its heart.

The dragon trusted his sixth sense. During the great war ten thousand years ago, he escaped death more than once thanks to this keen sense of crisis.

The sense of crisis he felt from this ant in front of him had surpassed that of the human expedition team he had encountered not long ago!

"Damn it!"

Looking at the already activated Soul Devouring Array, the Demon Dragon cursed inwardly.

Once activated, this formation cannot be stopped; forcibly severing the connection will backfire on the caster.

Given the dragon's current state, a backlash from it would surely kill it!

Alarm bells rang in his mind, and the demonic dragon, disregarding all decorum, unleashed all his defensive skills in one go.

The colorful skills enveloped his entire body, but this did not diminish his sense of crisis in the slightest.

Huan Cheng watched as the demon dragon prepared.

After a moment, he smiled faintly: "Ready?"

"Ready? Then prepare to die!"

After speaking, Huan Cheng gripped the Bloodthirsty Demon Dragon Sword tightly with both hands, raised it high, and stared intently at the demon dragon.

"The Abyss has descended!"

Driven by his thoughts, pure black light burst forth, and dark golden runes enveloped his entire body. Huan Cheng felt an endless surge of power, as if he could tear the heavens and earth apart with a wave of his hand!

"This...this is...!"

The moment the power of the abyss descended, the dragon's pupils shrank to slits, and terrifying memories long buried in its mind were awakened.

"This...this, he's dead, impossible...this is impossible!!!"

The dragon completely lost its composure and let out a heart-wrenching roar.
