Chapter 267: Bloody Landing (Part 2)
Dragon Roaming Wanli flicked the harpoon in his hand, casting a fierce gaze in all directions with an air of unmatched confidence.
"Haha, who else!"
There was no one left.
The Lizardmen were busy fleeing, not even sparing him a glance, and in a flash, most had disappeared into the dense forest.
With no one daring to fight for half the day, Dragon Roaming Wanli lost interest and spat on the ground.
"Damn cowards! Right, what did that guy say just now?"
"Didn't catch it clearly, seemed like he was saying something impressive..."
The veteran crouched beneath him chuckled, relieved, thinking that this ancestor had finally had enough fun. Charging forward with this hundred-kilogram lizard on his back, his guts were almost shaken out...
Within the ranks, Luo Yan slightly raised his right arm, his Magic Wand pointing vaguely towards the distant sky.
"Death withering!"
At the very moment his words fell, the sky above the forest near the beach instantly became shrouded in a black cloud exuding a deadly presence!
The sea breeze halted, and all was silent!
In the blink of an eye, the black cloud turned to rain, thousands of drops of black rain, infused with Netherworld Energy, fell like a swarm into the forest!
Almost in a blink, the lush trees became like yellowed old photos, visibly withering, decaying—and withering away!
Not just the forest withered, but also the Lizardman Warriors fleeing through it.
Though the black raindrops did not deal a fatal blow, they posed a significant threat to them in their escape.
Bathed in the black rain, they felt their strength rapidly draining, wisps of mist rising from their scales, and their legs feeling as heavy as lead!
Not just the effect of negative conditions—
Some Lizardmen were shot and fell, and in no time, under the influence of the black rain, they shakily rose from the ground, reawakening as undead, casting fierce glances at their former comrades!
The surviving Lizardmen were shocked and angry, yet helpless, forced to abandon their kin and flee.
An entire forest, hundreds of meters in all directions, thus became a cemetery that devoured all life!
Is this the strength of the Gold Level...
Watching the power of his own spell, a trace of subtle delight flickered in Luo Yan's eyes.
Since advancing to Gold Level, this was probably the first time he had exerted his spells with full force.
And indeed, the power of the Gold Level did not disappoint him, its might covering the sky and earth with one move!
He was terrifyingly strong now!
Luo Yan withdrew his Magic Wand, and the black cloud covering the forest dispersed simultaneously.
But at that moment, a faint dizziness crept across his brow.
Feeling the impact from deep in his soul, Luo Yan's expression slightly tightened, and he quickly took out a vial of deep blue potion, uncorked it with his thumb, and drank it down in one gulp.
A dense, burning sensation brushed through his throat, instantly making his emptied body slightly recover.
"No wonder top-tier powerhouses don't lightly use the Teleportation Array..." He tossed the empty bottle back into the Subspace opened by his storage medium and wiped his mouth, pondering to himself.
The side effects of Subspace are more apparent for those with stronger Extraordinary Power; perhaps it's related to the passage diameter, or maybe a principle he didn't understand.
For someone with Gold Level strength like himself, he could still use Magic Potions to recover lost magic power, but for those at Purple Crystal Level or even Grandmaster, Demigod, they probably would have to meditate for days and nights to compensate for the side effects that Subspace brings to Extraordinary Power.
Presumably, this is why the Subspace passage is entirely superfluous for them, and using the Teleportation Array is much less preferable than flying directly...
If they could fly there, that is.
As he thought so, Luo Yan turned his gaze to the withered forest in front of him, and the ground littered with Lizardman corpses, wearing an intriguing expression.
Speaking of which, he really didn't expect that, when he was just drawing a cake, Lumier would bring him such a pleasant surprise and actually find an unclaimed land amid the vast ocean.
Judging by the organized actions of those Lizardmen, they were clearly not primitive people living in caves, but had at least evolved to a civilization at the Tribal or even Kingdom era!
But why?
Logically, in this era when steam engines have been invented and used for navigation, the land of the New Continent should have been divided up long ago by the Aus Empire nobles, and there shouldn't be unexplored land near old routes...
How was this continent left alone?
As Luo Yan pondered, Alakdo scampered out quickly from the light of the Teleportation Array, sidling up to his esteemed master with a fawning expression.
"Praise the Lord Demon King! Your magic power is as vast and endless as the stars and the moon, like the surging rivers and seas... If I'm not mistaken, your power has broken through again!"
Luo Yan did not come straight from the Demon City to here; he first returned to the Great Graveyard for a brief rest before setting out again with the army.
Thus, not only Alakdo, but many of his subordinates also came here.
The Weaving Shadow Clan is always sensitive to the aura of strong beings, and although Alakdo had no evidence, he could sense that after returning from Demon City, the Demon King's strength had grown substantially again!
As for guessing wrong, it didn't matter; after all, he always guessed higher. The Weaving Shadow Clan had an old saying that a sweet-talking spider would not have bad luck.
Although Luo Yan was long accustomed to Alakdo's clumsy flattery, having not heard it for months made him miss it, and a smile involuntarily crept up the corner of his mouth.
