Chapter 348: Poison Dragon Pouch
After a day of rest, the group had basically recovered their full strength.
Bella was anxious to go back and get revenge, so she urged everyone to prepare to leave the Peach Blossom Spring Realm the very next day.
Led by Kristiman, the group arrived at the edge of the Peach Blossom Spring Realm.
"This is the way out. Pass through this stone cave, and the other side is the third level of the Poison Dragon Cave. It’s very dangerous."
Kristiman warned the group.
Li Wei glanced at the stone cave curiously, then scanned his surroundings.
He asked with great curiosity, "What exactly is this place?"
"Is the Peach Blossom Spring Realm a Secret Realm? Isn’t the Poison Dragon Cave underground? Why is there a place like this here?"
He had so many questions.
The existence of the Peach Blossom Spring Realm was highly illogical.
Why would such a vast and peaceful place exist underground?
Alice said, "The Peach Blossom Spring Realm is a Secret Realm, but it’s not quite the same as an ordinary one."
"You can think of it as a Secret Realm that has merged with the Main World, so it doesn’t have the usual teleportation exit of a Secret Realm."
"This cave entrance you see is the exit from the Peach Blossom Spring Realm."
"And it’s only an exit. You can leave, but you can’t enter."
Li Wei looked confused.
"What do you mean?"
Alice smiled and said, "You’ll see once you go through."
Kristiman nodded and said, "Indeed. This is also why we’ve never left the Peach Blossom Spring Realm."
"If we leave through here, we can never come back."
Li Wei found this a bit strange and asked, "Didn’t you say you’ve brought things in from the outside?"
Kristiman explained, "That’s because the Windflower has a special ability; it can travel anywhere the wind blows.
The Peach Blossom Spring Realm has other entrances and exits, but so far, this is the only exit we can use."
Kristiman pointed up at the sky.
"Didn’t you come down from above?"
When he said that, Li Wei understood.
It was true; the way down from above was also a one-way path.
Restricted by the Forbidden Sky Domain, Li Wei could only fly a hundred meters up at most.
Flying out from the top was just a pipe dream.
Li Wei nodded and said, "I get it. Let’s go."
Bella took the lead and walked into the cave.
Li Wei followed behind her.
After walking for a while, he suddenly felt the surrounding environment change.
The feeling was very distinct.
It was like instantly stepping from a bright, sunny place into a damp, dark one.
"This is the third level of the Poison Dragon Cave now."
Bella said from the front of the group.
Li Wei subconsciously looked back.
He found there was no cave entrance behind him at all, only a stone wall.
There was no going back.
He saw Lilith appear out of thin air beside the stone wall.
But to Lilith, she was just walking normally through the cave and didn’t feel anything unusual.
Soon, everyone had arrived on the third level of the Poison Dragon Cave.
Bella looked at the group and said, full of confidence, "With our strength, leaving the third level of the Poison Dragon Cave will be a piece of cake!"
「Half an hour later.」
Li Wei and the others fled from a cavern in a sorry state, a dense toxic mist teeming with countless tiny insects surging after them.
Bella complained, "Kuris, what kind of path did you lead us on? Why did we plunge headfirst into a toxic mist?"
Kristiman replied helplessly, "I could only sense that there were no Magic Beasts in this direction. Who knew it was a cavern filled with toxic mist?"
Even Tier Six experts wouldn’t dare to touch this toxic mist lightly.
The Purple Protective Talismans Evelyn had bought in Poison Dragon City had little effect.
The group could only retreat.
"Flower Barrier."
RUSTLE RUSTLE RUSTLE.
Li Wei looked back to see Alice using her ability. Countless flowers bloomed inside the cavern, completely blocking the entrance and holding back the advancing toxic mist.
Alice said, "The toxic mist is still corroding the Flower Barrier. We have to move, now."
The group quickly picked up their pace.
「An hour later.」
The group was lost inside the Poison Dragon Cave.
Bella glanced at Kristiman but didn’t complain about him again.
Kristiman was now even more anxious than she was.
He tried every method he could think of to sense the movement of the surrounding wind and air currents, searching for an exit from the third level of the Poison Dragon Cave.
Evelyn crushed a leaf of Poison Dragon Saliva Grass and applied it to Bella’s injured back.
"Hiss! That stings a little."
Bella sucked in a sharp breath of cold air.
’It’s more than just a little sting. It feels like the poison is about to dissolve my bones.’
The pain was heart-piercing.
The danger posed by the Magic Beasts and poisonous creatures on the third level of the Poison Dragon Cave far exceeded Bella’s imagination.
The wound on her back was from a small spider.
She had just been passing by when the small spider bit her, and she had almost died from the poison on the spot.
It scared Li Wei so much that he immediately put Invisible Armor on everyone.
Li Wei looked around, observing the environment.
Evelyn had already distributed a Purple Protective Talisman to each person.
Even with all six Purple Protective Talismans activated, they could only make the surrounding poisonous insects keep a slight distance.
It might even provoke the poisonous insects, causing them to actively attack the group.
The poisonous creatures on the third level of the Poison Dragon Cave were truly outrageous.
’As expected of poisonous insects that grew up absorbing the potent venom of the Wind Poison Dragon. Their toxicity is just too intense.’
Kristiman’s tightly furrowed brow twitched.
Noticing the change in his expression, Alice asked, "Did you find the exit?"
Kristiman said with some uncertainty, "I’m not sure if it’s an exit, but the wind is flowing over there. There should be a fissure leading to the outside."
"Let’s go check it out," Alice decided decisively.
They wouldn’t find an exit by staying here anyway; they might as well go and try their luck.
Led by Kristiman, the group headed toward the place where the wind was flowing.
After a few turns, Li Wei and the others saw a glimmer of green light ahead.
"What’s that?"
Li Wei felt that something was strange.
The group cautiously approached.
They discovered that the end of the tunnel opened into a massive cavern.
It was far larger than any cavern Li Wei had seen before in the Poison Dragon Cave.
While the group was still observing the glowing cavern,
Lilith reminded Li Wei, "There’s something over there."
Li Wei looked in the direction she was pointing but couldn’t see clearly what was there.
Lilith’s vision in the dark was far superior to Li Wei’s and the others’.
She could see places Li Wei could not.
Li Wei shot a Fireball.
WHOOSH!
The Fireball flew upward and exploded at its peak, the blaze of light illuminating the entire cave.
Seeing the scene inside the cave, everyone was shocked.
The cave was covered in marks from blades and axes. Each gash stretched for dozens of meters, like a giant scar.
There were also countless deep pits on the ground and surrounding walls that had been corroded away.
When Li Wei saw the scene before him, he knew where they were.
"This is the true Poison Dragon Nest. Eight hundred years ago, the Empire’s Dragon Slayer killed the Wind Poison Dragon here. This is the battlefield they left behind."
The entire group was deeply shaken.
It was hard to imagine how fierce the battle must have been.
Li Wei looked in the direction Lilith had pointed earlier. A dark green orb floated in mid-air.
’The Poison Dragon Pouch,’ he thought subconsciously.
