Evileye saw Tang Zheng appear in the sky, the disappointment she felt because of his absence vanished and she became excited again.

"Your Majesty the Dragon Lords."

Evileye reverence, bowing slightly.

This is not only because of the opponent's overwhelming strength, but also because it concerns the true reasons for the destruction of their hometown and whether their people can be saved.

She needs to try to get as close to this Crimson Dragon Lord as possible.

"The Inveria Kingdom is extremely far from here," Evileye cautiously, offering a reminder.

According to rumors, dragons, besides being arrogant, are generally not very good at temperament and patience, so it is necessary to state this in advance.

After all, flying over such a long distance might cause the Dragon Lords to become seriously dissatisfied.

In fact.

Evileye to use the "Teleportation" method, which, although it requires constant transfers, can shorten the time.

"What do you intend to do, mortal?" A vibrating buzzing sound came from above.

"I possess the magic of ' Teleportation,' which allows me to travel long distances, thus reducing travel time."

Evileye here, tidied his words slightly, and continued:

"However, to bring His Majesty the Dragon Lords along on the Teleportation, we need to make contact with His Majesty the Dragon Lords first."

There's another issue: the more people you carry during Teleportation, the more magic power you consume.

Especially for races with enormous sizes like dragons, the increase in magic power consumption would likely be considerable.

Tang Zheng's golden dragon eyes gazed down, guessing Evileye was thinking.

"Teleportation" is indeed the best means of movement.

It can save a lot of time and also increase a certain degree of concealment.

Boom!

Tang Zheng's massive dragon wings fluttered slightly, lowering the altitude a bit. A strong gale swept down, causing the canopy and lush foliage of the jungle below to rustle.

The dragon's claws extended.

The movements were slow and there was no murderous intent to attack.

Evileye tensed, suppressing the urge to dodge, and watched as sharp fingertips, wider than her own body, touched her.

The next moment,

Evileye noticed a trace of magic on his body.

"This is a Magic Mark that allows me to pinpoint your location."

Tang Zheng retracted his dragon claw, lowered his head, and said, "I also possess the skill of ' Teleportation.' You just need to Teleportation yourself."

Upon Evileye's red pupils behind the mask widened slightly, and his throat moved almost imperceptibly.

He even knows Fifth-Tier Magic?

In the previous battle, the attack methods displayed by this Dragon Lords were clearly biased towards Warrior- style tactics.

Evileye guessed that even if the other party possessed magic, their level wouldn't be high. Who would have thought that they could even use the Fifth-Tier "Teleportation"?

If so.

Whether in melee combat or spellcasting, he was no match for them.

It's no wonder they are the most powerful race— the Dragon Race!

This would be impossible for other races, but as Dragon Race, they possess powerful close-combat abilities and wield magical power.

It wasn't as incredible as I had imagined.

"I see."

Evileye a deep breath to Calmness herself down and quickly adjusted her previous strategy.

at present.

Although this Crimson Dragon Lord is not hostile, the more we know about Dragon Lords in the event of hostility, the safer we will be when making plans in the future.

"Fanwu, what is your name?" Tang Zheng suddenly asked.

"Evileye, Your Majesty the Dragon Lords."

Evileye responded, inwardly thinking to herself, "Iver is so angry."

When asking someone's name, shouldn't you introduce yourself first? Of course, this thought can only be murmured to myself.

The two sides are not on equal footing.

Evileye intended to do the same, taking advantage of the Dragon Race' proud nature and planning to place herself in a subordinate position from the very beginning.

If you can gain the other party's favor and make the opponent underestimate you by using this method, then you've made a huge profit.

"Then, Evileye."

Tang Zheng looked up again, his voice laced with warning as he uttered, "From now on, unless absolutely necessary..."

"I will not reveal myself, and all your actions should be carried out in the hope of being noticed by as few people as possible."

After saying that.

"Ninjutsu: Concealment"

Tang Zheng activated his Ninjutsu, and the enormous Dragon Race's body quickly became transparent, completely disappearing from Evileye's sight.

"Amazing!"

Evileye watched Tang Zheng disappear without noticing a single trace, finally understanding how the other party had appeared out of thin air.

"Invisibility magic?"

"Second-Tier 'non-visualization' cannot achieve this level of skill; it must be magic of a higher tier."

Evileye secretly alarmed; the more he interacted with the Crimson Dragon Lord, the more he could sense its power and terror.

But why do this?

Evileye a sense of confusion rising within her. Her opponent possessed immense strength, so why did they seem to be operating in the shadows?

Or perhaps the other person has a cautious personality.

Various doubts and questions arose.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Evileye felt that further observation was needed to reach a conclusion, so she spoke towards the direction where Tang Zheng had disappeared, and then chanted:

"Teleportation."

Swish!

The air vibrates.

Evileye's figure vanished instantly.

"Is this location... the outer area of 'Ye Lantier'?"

Tang Zheng used the "Magic Mark" to sense Evileye's location. The other party had already left the Great Forest of Tob, and the Teleportation distance was not too far.

That's normal.

When direct Teleportation to the destination is impossible, using Teleportation relay method is inevitable, and the relay location is a place where the spellcaster has been.

Therefore, the Teleportation needs to select the route closest to the destination from the locations in their memory.

Swish!

Tang Zheng smiled gently and slowly began to cast his own spell.

Next.

Tang Zheng and Evileye first left the Great Forest of Tob Teleportation to the vicinity of "Ye Lantier", and then Teleportation into "Katze Plains".

A thin, gray mist came into view.

As soon as Tang Zheng appeared, he sensed that the entire sky and ground were shrouded in a peculiar mist, and his perception abilities were even somewhat suppressed.

"The location where the future Great Tomb King will descend."

Tang Zheng hovered in mid-air over this place known as the Cursed Land, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

There wasn't much here that interested him.

The only thing that has piqued my interest so far is the legendary Ghost Ship.

"I've already left a mark. I'll come back to find that Ghost Ship when I have time," Tang Zheng thought to himself.

After reconfirming Evileye's location, Teleportation again and disappeared.

Compared to Tang Zheng, he can Teleportation easily.

Evileye Teleportation three times before leaving the "Katze Plains" and entering the southeastern territory of the Baharuth Empire.

Then there's the Mount Keitenias!

This place is located in the southern part of the Baharuth Empire, the northern part of the Draconic Kingdom, and the eastern part of the Katze Plains, in a vast, rolling mountain range.

A powerful human tribe known as the "Wyvern Riders Tribe" inhabits the area.

Until this moment.

Tang Zheng truly gained a relatively clear understanding of the northwestern corner of the continent inhabited by humans.

Whoosh--!

A massive, invisible figure soared above the Mount Keitenias, gazing down at an area far exceeding the Azerlisia Mountains.

"No wonder that of all the places inhabited by humans, only the northernmost ' Karsanas City-State Alliance ' and the southernmost ' Draconic Kingdom ' are threatened by Demi-Human forces."

"The Baharuth Empire, located at the easternmost edge, was not threatened by the Demi-Human."

Tang Zheng observed the mountain range, a look of understanding on his face:

"It's entirely because of the barrier provided by this mountain range; with its advantageous terrain, the Baharuth Empire doesn't need to directly confront the threat of the Demi-Human."

Use Teleportation magic repeatedly.

The Teleportation severely depleted Evileye's magic power, forcing her to stop and recuperate.

--Zhong Midwind Month.

May 28.

Tang Zheng couldn't determine how far he had covered in the seven-day journey, because Evileye mostly traveled by air in the following days.

After all, hundreds of years have passed, Evileye's memories of this place have long been blurred, making it impossible for Teleportation magic to pinpoint the location accurately, leaving only the cumbersome method of flying.

This is why, despite having the ability to Teleportation, it still took so long.

A cold wind is blowing.

Evileye's red cloak fluttered as he stood there, surrounded by a dense aura of Negative Energy that permeated the land, making it resemble the "Katze Plains."

The soil had a grayish-brown color.

There was no smell of decay in the air; instead, there was a chilling sensation that made the living feel cold all over, even in the daytime.

At a glance.

The phrase "Negative Energy" perfectly describes this place.

Evileye stood quietly on this land, gazing into the distance, an aura of sorrow rising from him.

"I'm back, everyone."

"Father... Mother..." Evileye's eyes were unfocused, and distant memories became clear as he stepped onto this land again.

Tang Zheng's golden dragon eyes grew cautious as he observed the surroundings and descended, landing atop Evileye's head. "Is this the once-destroyed Kingdom, the Inveria Kingdom?"

A deep voice suddenly rang out from mid-air.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Dragon Lords."

Upon Evileye suppressed his grief and responded with reverence.

We've finally arrived!

Tang Zheng felt reassured, and the outline of the map he had observed over this period of time appeared in his mind.

I never imagined that the Inveria Kingdom would be so far away from the countries inhabited by humans.

Humanity is located in the northwest corner of the entire continent.

The easternmost country is the Baharuth Empire, followed by the vast Mount Keitenias, which act as a defensive line protecting humanity, with gaps at both the north and south corners.

Then came the Beastman kingdoms!

According to Evileye, there are five Beastman kingdoms in the eastern part of the Mount Keitenias. Only by crossing this area can one reach the territory of the destroyed Inveria Kingdom.

Even up to this point!

It's still located in the western part of the continent, and these five Beastman kingdoms are completely different from the Beastman Kingdom among the six major powers in the center of the continent.

Tang Zheng's gaze swept over the Attribute Panel.

[Experience Bar: 18.38 million/1.88 million]

In seven days, he gained about 10 million Experience Points. The process of gaining these points was naturally achieved by Tang Zheng using the Seventh-Tier "Greater Teleportation" to return to the human territory.

We also took the opportunity to test the distance of "Greater Teleportation".

Up to now,

Tang Zheng could confirm that he had not yet reached the distance limit of "Greater Teleportation," and he could freely travel to and from the human's location.

Skill: Rapid Mana Recovery

Cost: None (24-hour cooldown)

Description: When activating this skill, the user cannot move or attack, but can recover 50% of their mana within half an hour.

In addition to the Experience Points gained.

Tang Zheng's biggest gain these past few days was finally obtaining this special skill of Mana Fast Recovery from Evileye.

In the "YGGDRASIL" system, there is no means of mana restoration; for Magic Caster, mana is their lifeline.

Evileye's skill is another ability that cannot exist in the game.

"Dragon Lords Majesty, can you confirm that the method of turning the living into Zombie originates from [Wild Magic]?"

Evileye's voice suddenly rang out, bringing Tang Zheng back to his senses.

Tang Zheng gazed at the few scattered Zombie in the distance, and after a brief silence, his voice slowly drifted from the empty air. "We can't be sure based on just a few Zombie."

"But you should already have the answer in your heart."

"Your survival, and the presence of Wild Magic within you, is entirely due to your Innate Talent."

Tang Zheng let out a strange, low laugh as he finished speaking:

"Are you certain it was [Wild Magic] that did this? Are you planning to seek revenge against the True Dragon Lord who destroyed your Kingdom? I am also a member of the Dragon Race."

"I... I don't know." Evileye's body tensed inexplicably, and she gave an ambiguous answer.

During this period of time.

She maintained a humble demeanor in order to avoid the hostility of the Crimson Dragon Lord as much as possible.

"Hehe."

Tang Zheng let out a strange laugh, making Evileye increasingly nervous. "If you want revenge, I might be able to help."

"Ah, oh?"

Evileye clearly taken aback, instinctively uttering a surprised tone, before quickly realizing what she had said and stopping herself:

"My strength is too weak to be a match for Your Majesty the Dragon Lords, or even the True Dragon Lord who wields Wild Magic."

"Don't assume that the relationships between Dragon Race are good, Evileye." Tang Zheng continued calmly, knowing that Evileye wouldn't believe him.

"This is really a nice place."

Tang Zheng quietly sensed the dense Negative Energy within this area, his golden pupils flickering slightly as he spoke enticingly:

"Evileye, do you want to become stronger?"

Evileye remained silent, or rather, didn't know how to answer, as they hadn't had much contact recently.

She still cannot truly understand the personality and thoughts of this Crimson Dragon Lord.
