"It should be correct."

"The power of the Holy Rune Tribe all comes from the Dragon Clan. Their Holy Rune heritage actually records the various abilities of the ancient dragons."

"But whether it's imprinting or unleashing the power of holy runes, both require consuming dragon blood."

“Living dragons would never allow them to take their blood.”

"I didn't expect this..."

"They actually set their sights on the dead dragons."

Be aware of this.

Su Bai immediately realized that he should leave this place as soon as possible.

The importance of this dragon heart to the Holy Pattern Tribe is self-evident. If they discover that an outsider has intruded into this place, they will inevitably fight him to the death.

He has already provoked a Blackwater tribe.

We can't handle another one.

Moreover.

He has already found a treasure here.

"The location of the Dragon Heart should not be easily moved, otherwise the Holy Rune Tribe would not have sealed it here. Remember this place, I can come here to collect blood in the future."

Su Bai thought to himself.

When he left, he also took the remains of the Holy Rune Tribe member with him and destroyed them. If this person really sneaked in, leaving them here would inevitably make the Holy Rune Tribe people guess something, causing them to investigate this 'Holy Rune Fragment'.

But there is another possibility.

He entered legally, but for some reason, he died here by accident.

If that's the case.

His destruction of the remains would actually have the opposite effect...

In any case, since he got this opportunity, he has to take on some risk.

...

After leaving the sealed ruins, Su Bai led his team to continue searching for the exploration team's whereabouts.

Purify the deathly aura with the healing hand.

The team remained at full strength even after venturing deep into the dead forest for a long time.

Along the way, we encountered several monster ambushes, but they were all low-level undead monsters and posed no great threat.

finally.

As we approached the edge of the dead forest.

The Templar Knights, who were searching separately, discovered another trace left by the exploration team.

"They went through a battle here, and some people were wounded."

The scene of devastation told the story of what had happened just hours before. Su Bai also saw fragments of broken armor and large patches of blood seeping into the soil.

"The wounded are the bronze soldiers... They encountered a formidable enemy here."

"There should always be casualties in a battle, but there are no corpses left here. The enemy must be a group of undead, and they must have special units like necromancers."

"And the battlefield was cleaned up very well."

There were signs of a fight everywhere.

Su Bai's point about something being very clean clearly has another meaning.

For undead units, corpses, bones, and flesh are all very important resources, and these three things are almost nowhere to be seen at the scene.

Those mindless, low-level undead monsters couldn't possibly achieve such precision...

"Dare to kill my men?"

Su Bai's eyes flashed with a cold light.

The person most likely capable of doing this is a player.

The other party was quite arrogant.

He had just dealt with the Azure Dragon Society a few days ago and was riding high; practically everyone on Fallen Dragon Island knew him.

When the other party encountered him, their first thought was not to communicate, but to take action immediately.

Isn't this an extremely arrogant act?

The marks on the ground were not concealed, and the other party seemed not to have expected his team to find them so quickly. Su Bai easily identified the direction of their retreat.

"Chase them in that direction!"

They traveled all the way.

After passing through the dark, withered forest, the scene ahead remained desolate and lifeless.

Black smoke rose from the earth, the trees grew twisted and gnarled, and the bare hills, at first glance, looked like the pale, towering corpses of giants.

In the distance, an active volcano stands tall on the frosty white earth, constantly spewing thick sulfurous smoke into the sky.

Even from a distance of thousands of miles, you can smell that unpleasant, pungent odor in the air.

The marks on the ground are still there.

After walking for a while...

The trail led the group into a deep canyon.

The mountains on both sides of the canyon are steep and precipitous, and a thin mist hangs in the valley, as if a huge shadow is moving across the mist, which makes people feel awe.

"My lord, a large amount of evil energy is gathering ahead!"

The Templars informed him.

"Um."

Su Bai nodded, his sharp gaze sweeping across the valley, lingering for a moment on a flock of black crows gathered in front of the cliff.

He insisted, "Keep moving forward, we must find them today!"

The group stepped into the valley.

They had only gone forward a short while.

Then a burst of hearty laughter echoed from the depths of the valley.

"Hahaha! I guessed someone would come looking for me, but I didn't expect you to fall into my trap so easily!"

As the sound faded.

A soft rustling sound.

Suddenly, a large amount of broken bones and flesh poured down from the cliffs on both sides of the valley. After landing, they wriggled and turned into rotting undead monsters in the blink of an eye.

The sheer number of monsters quickly blocked the entrance to the valley.

This left everyone with no way to retreat.

A large number of monsters also emerged from ahead.

Alongside them were rows of wrecked chariots, with skeleton soldiers, some clad in armor and others carrying bows and arrows, standing on them. Their blood-stained cap tassels and skull banners fluttered in the wind, revealing a massive undead legion!

A human with a pale face was standing on one of the chariots.

He smiled smugly, but his deathly pale face made his smile look even uglier than a cry.

"Do you know who I am?"

Su Bai remained unmoved, calming the somewhat restless giant wolf beneath him, and asked a question in a calm manner.

"Haha, who on the island doesn't know you? Aren't you the White Emperor who's always been in the limelight!"

The man gave a mocking smile.

"You know that, yet you still dare to provoke me. It seems you think you're very strong."

Su Bai nodded.

"Hahaha!"

The man laughed again, "If you stayed outside and swaggered around, I really couldn't do anything to you. Unfortunately, you've come to the wrong place. This isn't a place where you can run wild!"

"Yeah?"

Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly.

He said calmly, "Since the server opened, news from the eastern region has been kept very tightly under wraps. So, it turns out there are rats like you hiding here."

"I thought you guys had secretly acquired some amazing skills."

"As a result, he has turned himself into this inhuman, ghostly state, and is still arrogant and ignorant of his own limitations. I am really disappointed in him."

He shook his head and sighed softly.

When it comes to verbal sparring, he's never been afraid of anyone, and sure enough, his words hit the other person's sore spot.

"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent!"

The man gritted his teeth.

Without further ado, he waved his hand and said directly, "Charge! Peel their skins off! I want to see if someone like you can still be so glamorous if you're turned into an undead!"

Whoosh!

The moment he finished speaking, a cold light flashed before his eyes, instantly severing his head!
