"Well, that's all we can do."

Wang Zheng sighed reluctantly and then gave up on his plan to go any further.

After all, if he really killed all those adventurers on the periphery, not to mention whether the country would hold him accountable, Young Master Wang himself would feel uneasy about the little conscience he had left.

Just as the two were about to leave, a sudden change occurred. A streak of light flashed by at the end of the distant valley, quickly attracting Wang Zheng's attention.

Then a strange energy fluctuation rippled outwards. With the space distorted, this feeling made Young Master Wang feel as if he had seen it somewhere before.

Seeing this, the father and son were no longer in a hurry to leave.

Wang Zheng frowned slightly, stopped in his tracks, and looked into the distance.

\"Um?\"

Using his mental power to carefully sense the surroundings, Wang Zheng discovered a strange clue. He then turned to his father and said:

"Although there are no fluctuations in spiritual energy, the space over there seems to be something unusual. The branches and shrubs look strangely distorted, and there's even a refraction phenomenon..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Shengrong carefully scanned his surroundings, and then his gaze fell on the depression between the mountains in front of him.

Within the low-lying, narrow valley, a dense forest suddenly appeared, emitting a faint blue glow under the moonlight.

"Let's go take a look!"

Wang Shengrong, skilled and daring, took the lead and walked ahead, while Wang Zheng followed closely behind, cautiously looking around to avoid any accidents.

Given the unusual circumstances, the two of them held their breath and slowed their pace.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance to the strange valley.

The sky was now completely dark, moonlight was falling, and the leaves were swaying in the wind, reflecting the starlight on the ground. Combined with the fluorescent lights in front of us, it was truly a beautiful sight.

However, as soon as he passed through the forest, Wang Zheng felt the surrounding space slightly distorted, as if something was blocking his perception. Now that he was here, the mental barrier was getting stronger and stronger.

Wang Shengrong, who was walking in front, was not as strong as Wang Zheng under normal circumstances. He obviously did not sense the abnormality here. Looking at the barrier in front of him that was rippling like water, he casually reached out his hand.

"Dad, no..."

Before Wang Zheng could finish speaking, and before he could even throw the branch he had picked up, he saw his father's hand already outstretched.

As he moved, the previously empty air shone brightly, followed by ripples on the water. Then, Wang Zheng saw his father's hand magically disappear before his eyes.

Although Wang Shengrong realized he had been somewhat reckless, he breathed a sigh of relief as nothing unexpected happened, and still spoke up:

"This must be some kind of special energy barrier, which is why it's causing the light to refract. I can feel that my arm isn't..."

Before he could even utter the word "problem," Wang Shengrong suddenly felt a powerful suction force, and his body immediately tilted forward.

Immediately afterwards, he was pulled into the barrier. He couldn't resist with his strength. He staggered and was completely pulled in, disappearing without a trace.

Wang Zheng was shocked to see this and wanted to rush over to save his father, but it was too late. Worried, he could only quickly follow and crawl inside.

When the two passed through the water-like halo and arrived in the valley, they were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

Before them lay a completely different world, and just considering the size of its interior alone, it was far beyond anything the small valley they had just encountered could compare to.

Putting aside the fact that the father and son must have accidentally stumbled into some strange space, what shocked them was far more than that.

The cold moonlight shone on the empty plain before them, and huge stone tablets stood prominently on the countless ruins and rubble.

On this stone tablet, which is a hundred meters high, are engraved various ancient array patterns, as if it were suppressing something.

The inscription on the stone tablet, imbued with the aura of history, was exactly the same as the copy of the martial arts manual that Nan Fengyi had given to Wang Zheng.

In the center of the array pattern, a white snake is carved, coiled on the stone tablet.

The giant snake had a flat, hornless head and a winding, white body, but no scales. Long hair grew on its back.

At this moment, the snake flicked its tongue, seemingly breathing out mist in the moonlight, as if it were a living creature.

Such a bizarre sight is enough to send chills down one's spine and make one shudder.

Just as Wang Zheng and his son stepped into this space, the white snake on the stone tablet seemed to sense the disturbance. It suddenly opened its eyes, then abruptly raised its head, its two scarlet snake eyes staring at the two of them...

Looking at the white snake's open eyes on the stone tablet, Wang Zheng couldn't help but shudder.

The reason is simple: the image of this white snake is exactly the same as the long snake recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas! As everyone knows, none of those who have any connection with the ancient primordial world are easy to get along with.

The atmosphere in the valley immediately became tense. Wang Shengrong's lips moved slightly as he stepped in front of Wang Zheng and whispered:

"This should be a living creature, right? A powerful demon sealed here?"

Wang Zheng shook his head.

"Don't speak, let's slowly back away, let's retreat!"

Although Wang Zheng had already considered retreating, the long snake clearly had no intention of letting the father and son go. It let out a long roar, and its eyes suddenly shone brightly.

These terrifying pupils were far more frightening than the eyes of any ferocious bird or demon; they were like the eyes of death itself, emanating from hell.
