"If it's such a good opportunity, why don't you go instead?" "Because you're the chosen one. Only you can go through Wearson Valley. I can help you, of course, but you'll have to pay me for my help." Wilbur sneered coldly. The Black Bishop was overly vague, which proved that he was conspiring against him and hiding his true intentions. "You're a cultivator. I'm afraid it's not possible to pay you with money, right?" The Black Bishop seemed worried as he answered, "That is indeed the case. Actually, I came looking for you for two reasons. Firstly, you're the chosen one of Light Valley. Secondly, my brother entered Wearson Valley on his own six months ago, and he hasn't returned. He's my brother, so I want to look for him. If you find the Light Armor and break the formation, the fog in Wearson Valley will fade away, and then I'll be able to find my brother." "What is your name?" "Tracy. My brother's name is Truman. Please, Mister Penn, you have to help me." "Since you came
Tracy said coldly, "We're cultivators." "I'm so sorry. Go ahead." Jack backed away and made a polite gesture to let them pass. Wilbur drove near the valley as Tracy explained, "Wearson Valley is a forbidden area, but the law allows cultivators to enter. The authorities of Rostead want the Wearson Valley problem to be solved as soon as possible, after all." They parked their SUV under a tree outside the valley as they could not continue to drive further. Therefore, they got out of the car and walked. They walked much faster than ordinary people because they were cultivators. Soon, they were at the entrance of Wearson Valley. Suddenly, the loud rumbling sounds of thunder could be heard from Wearson Valley. Wilbur looked around and discovered that the area outside the valley was sunny with no storm clouds to be seen. However, the valley was covered by storm clouds. Thunder could also be heard as if there was a storm in the depths of the valley. Wilbur looked at the enormous Wear
Tracy shouted in warning behind Wilbur, then raised his cane. White light instantly shot through the monster. Wilbur watched the snake monster disintegrate right before him. He instantly snapped out of it and looked back at Tracy, saying, "Thanks." "It's alright. Watch out, Mister Penn!" Tracy exclaimed, and Wilbur abruptly turned around. He saw a female snake monster appear in front of them. The monster had a huge sword, and it slashed toward the ground. Wilbur flicked his right wrist and the thunder cleaver appeared in his hand. The blade energy from his cleaver sliced the monster in half before the monster could even react. The monster dropped to the ground and died immediately. Tracy took a deep breath and said, "What terrifying creatures!" Wilbur said, "It looks like they're not creatures of this dimension. They should be from another dimension. Wait. Could it be that the student of the Light Warrior opened a portal to another dimension?" What Wilbur said greatly surpr
"Alright. Let's retreat." Wilbur and Tracy turned to walk towards the Wearson Valley entrance, but they walked in the fog for more than ten minutes. They felt like they should be at the entrance at that point. Tracy had a bad feeling and asked cautiously, "Mister Penn, have you heard about that test?" "Test?" Wilbur observed around and asked puzzlingly, "What test?" Wilbur felt the same as Tracy at that moment. They should have been out of Wearson Valley based on their pace, but they were still in the valley. They were undoubtedly lost. Tracy said, "There used to be a test. If someone walks blindfolded in the dark without a cane, their path would not be a straight line. Now, we're in the fog and we can't see anything. Do you think it's possible that we're not walking in a straight line as well?" Two snake monsters sprinted out from the sides of the fog as soon as Tracy finished talking. One of them sprinted toward Tracy, and the other sprinted toward Wilbur. Wilbur raised h
"I see. It looks like we have to be more careful, Mister Penn." "Yeah, let's go." Wilbur led Tracy forward while unleashing the dragon aura in his body. Soon, his dragon aura was spread out with Wilbur as the center. It enveloped ten meters around him. That was almost his limit for his strength. However, Wilbur felt something strange. He could not believe that there were no signs of snake monsters within ten meters. According to the frequency of their encounter with snake monsters, there should be a snake monster by then. He wondered why there were no signs of snake monsters in the fog. Suddenly, Wilbur detected an incoming arrow. He quickly dodged and grabbed the arrow. The arrow was up to two meters long, and it almost hit Tracy in the back. Tracy looked frightened, and Wilbur quickly said, "Quick! They're ambushing us! Cast a defense spell!" Wilbur chanted and activated the Earth-type defensive skill, Earth Wall. Meanwhile, Tracy also activated a light shield. More than te
Therefore, they could not fight the army of snake monsters at close range. Wilbur had an idea. Since the snake monsters wanted to attack them with arrows, he should let them, then return the arrows right back at them. Arrows rained down on them once again. The rain of arrows went on for almost a minute this time, and the ground was also littered with arrows. The barrage stopped after a minute. Wilbur formed thunder-type spiritual energy on his right hand, wrapping his entire right arm with light-blue lightning energy. Then, he opened his hand and pressed his palm against the ground. Lightning energy was channeled into the ground through his right hand. After that, streaks of lightning spread out. The lightning energy attracted the arrows stuck in the ground. In an instant, the lightning strike transmitted from Wilbur's palm connected those arrows, forming a huge net of electricity on the ground. "Could it be that you're trying to defeat them with their arrows?" asked Tracy. He lo
At that moment, there was a rustling sound not far away, as if a large creature was approaching. Wilbur detected a giant snake monster that was five meters tall. It was carrying a steel pitchfork and heading in their direction. After a moment, the figure of the snake monster appeared in the mist. Seeing the bodies of the snake monster on the ground, the giant snake monster roared and raised the pitchfork in its hand. It stabbed directly into the mist. Wilbur saw faint blue lights flashing in the misty sky, seemingly accumulating lightning power toward the tip of the fork. Tracy exclaimed in surprise, "This guy seems to be absorbing the power of lightning." "No, we can't let him succeed. Mister Tracy, let's attack together!" "Alright!" Wilbur and Tracy charged forward at the same time, flanking the giant snake monster from both sides. Then, they launched their attacks at the snake. Wilbur threw out thunder spears as he wielded his thunder cleaver, slashing the blade down. Me
"I'm fine." Wilbur shook his head. The snake monsters were too weak and only had the advantage in numbers. After saying that, Wilbur turned around and continued walking forward, with Tracy following closely behind. They continued deeper into Wearson Valley. What puzzled them both in the next half hour was that despite covering a considerable distance, they encountered neither snake monsters nor any other creatures. Wilbur could not help but feel puzzled. If the disciple of the Light Warrior really opened a portal to another dimension, then the snake monsters coming from another dimension could not just number a few hundred. Could it be that he closed the portal right after opening it back then? Wilbur and Tracy kept walking inward. Just as they took a few steps, suddenly, a wolf's howl echoed from deep within the valley. "Wolves?" Wilbur and Tracy exchanged glances, both feeling a sense of foreboding. After all, the snake monsters were extremely powerful. If they appeared her
