They were at the bottom of the vast rift valley in the Abyss.
Although darkness was the main color here, it did not cover the entire place. There was still some light that illuminated the Abyss on land.
"There's actually a place like this in the world..."
Mukla and the other nine Emerald Dragon Knights flew slowly at the bottom of the rift valley. They held torches in their hands, and the light from the flames provided them with good vision.
They also saw that there was a strange world under the rift valley. It was not lifeless, but there were some strange creatures that were different from those on land.
Below Mukla and the others, there was a patch of black plants. These plants looked like withered trees, but their branches were covered with thorns. At first glance, they did not look alive, but when Mukla approached, these plants seemed to feel something and began to tremble slightly, letting out 'Ka Ka Ka' sounds.
Lin did not know what these plants were, because like Mukla, it was her first time coming to the rift valley of the Western Continent.
This time, Lin did not use her eyes to follow them, but a Flyer.
Lin had taken Susumi to other rifts before, but she did not expect there to be a group of new creatures here. They formed a unique environment that belonged only to them, and it was quite interesting.
But for Mukla and the others, it was probably "terrifying". Every Emerald Dragon Knight had a feeling of fear when they flew here.
"What are those things?" After flying past the strange forest, Mukla saw a quagmire. The trees from before were also growing on the quagmire. But there were some other creatures in the quagmire... One of them was more than a meter long. A fat gray worm.
They seemed to feed on mud. They were densely packed together in the quagmire. This scene made Mukla and the others feel disgusted, and it probably reminded them of those scavenging insects.
There were also some skeletons of unknown creatures floating above the quagmire. One of the Emerald Dragon Knights seemed to be curious. It rode its viper close to a skeleton and carefully observed it.
"Don't get so close," Mukla said to the Emerald Dragon Knights. Mukla said to the emerald dragon, "Our main mission is to look for a Skeleton Dragon's nest here."
Boom! As soon as Mukla finished his sentence, a huge mouth suddenly emerged from the quagmire. It looked like a black flower. Every petal was covered in barbs, and when it opened, it was more than five meters wide. It bit the viper's abdomen and pulled it downwards …
"Ga!" The emerald dragon was shocked. The viper dragon under it kept flapping its wings, trying to escape from the mouth. When the mouth bit it, a large number of worms gathered, as if they were waiting for the viper dragon to be dragged to the quagmire.
"Hurry up and help it!" Mukla shouted as he picked up his bow. It shot an arrow at the long 'neck' behind the big mouth, and when the arrow penetrated the target, it shot an arrow. A large amount of gray liquid gushed out from the wound. The mouth also released the viper and retreated back into the quagmire.
"That was too dangerous …" The emerald dragon was still in shock. It heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Commander."
"There's a monster here …" Mukla said, "Let's fly higher."
Then, the emerald dragons flew higher to continue their exploration. Lin's Flyer also took a look at the quagmire and followed.
That was obviously a carnivorous plant, but for some reason, Lin had a strange feeling about it.
Although she wanted to see what its main body was like, she would think about it when the time came.
The emerald dragons flew to many places in the rift valley. Most of the creatures here were strange-looking plants. They were all black in color, and no one knew what they fed on.
Other than plants, there were many worms and small dinosaurs. Some pterosaurs also made their nests here. The quagmire was the main environment here. It was like a swamp, and it didn't take long for a quagmire to appear.
But in such a place, it was obviously impossible to find a nest of the Skeleton Dragon.
"Commander, we've taken many detours." Now, the emerald dragons were flying over a vast quagmire. One of them said to Mukla, "The torches are almost burnt out. We can only make new ones on land."
"Maybe the skeleton dragon doesn't live here," Mukla said. "Anyway, let's fly up first."
"Woo …"
"What's that sound?" Suddenly, a sound made the emerald dragons stop. Not far away in the quagmire, there were several large creatures moving about.
… Are those Poseidon Dragons? I didn't expect to see these large long-necked dragons here. Lin remembered seeing them only on the other side of the river. These large dragons were about 20 meters tall, and they were moving slowly in the quagmire.
"Poseidon Dragons" was the name in Lin's mind. She didn't come up with it herself. But since they were here, did it mean that there was a path that led to the bottom of the rift valley? The small dinosaurs could climb down the walls, but the large ones would definitely need a path.
The emerald dragons were also surprised by the appearance of these dragons. They watched for a while, and after the torches in their hands were slowly extinguished, they flew up.
The torches were mainly made of some kind of plant oil. They could burn for a long time, but not for too long.
"There are so many strange things down here, Commander."
"Yes, we have to report to the king, but the skeleton dragon doesn't seem to be down here."
"It's too big down here. We can't find everything. We should ask for reinforcements …"
As the emerald dragons chatted, they slowly approached the top of the rift valley. They were in the middle of the rift valley, and everywhere was shrouded in thick fog.
"Gah? Where is this? I can't tell the direction! " The emerald dragons looked around in panic. Mukla said calmly, "It's fine, as long as …"
"What's that?" Mukla's tone suddenly changed. The emerald dragons noticed that he was staring in a certain direction, and they looked in that direction as well …
Not far away in the fog, an incomparably huge black shadow appeared. The front of this black shadow flickered with light, as if a pair of fiery red eyes were staring at them …
"What the hell is that!" "It's coming!"
The emerald dragons immediately dispersed on their wyverns. They rode their wyverns and flew to a higher place. At this moment, a light breeze suddenly blew. Although it was not strong, it blew away a lot of the fog, allowing the emerald dragons to see the appearance of this thing clearly …
The entire body of this gigantic creature was covered in a mixture of dark green and grey. If one smelled it carefully, they could even faintly smell the smell of the sea … The two 'eyes' were two large braziers at the top of its head. The continuous burning flames above them illuminated this area of dense fog.
The emerald dragons looked at this thing in a daze. They could not think of a way to explain what it was, but at this time, the other side had also noticed them.
"King! There are some strange things in front! " On the huge airship, the scout standing next to the braziers had already seen the ten wyverns in front of them. He immediately ran to Jing Kuang to report.
"I didn't expect to meet them so soon." Jing Kuang walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the ten black shadows not far away. "It's these green things, just like the ones we saw before …"
"Shoot! Shoot all of them down! "
"Caw!" Under Jing Kuang's order, the skeleton dragons immediately began to move. The emerald dragons on the opposite side were still looking on in confusion. At the front of the airship, a strange device pieced together with fish bones suddenly moved. It first shook left and right, then aimed at the emerald dragons.
"That's …" Mukla looked at the device aimed at them and suddenly realized what it was. He immediately shouted, "Spread out!"
"Bang!" Almost at the same time as Mukla shouted, a huge arrow suddenly shot out. Among the emerald dragons, there was a violent scream …
The arrow did not hit the viper, but hit an emerald dragon riding on the viper's back. Its waist was split into two by the huge impact almost instantly. As blood spurted out, the two halves of its body fell off the viper's back and fell into the abyss of the rift valley.
"Caw?" Only then did the emerald dragons realize that their companion had disappeared. One of the emerald dragons looked down and shouted, "Caw —!!"
Its voice was filled with extreme sadness. That person seemed to be one of its close companions.
"Not bad." Jing Kuang looked at the emerald dragon on the opposite side that was shot in half. He praised the archer. "Continue shooting. You'll be rewarded with 5,000 shells for every one you kill!"
"Spread out!" Mukla didn't have the time to grieve for his companions. As he shouted, the Emerald Dragons immediately rode their vipers and flew away. While flying, Mukla also noticed the white figure on the opposite airship.
"It's a skeleton dragon!" Mukla shouted. "A skeleton dragon is sitting on it! We have to — "
"Caw!" The sorrowful emerald dragon became extremely angry after hearing this. It pulled the wyvern and rushed towards the airship. Mukla immediately shouted, "Wait!"
But the emerald dragon did not stop. It seemed to have been overwhelmed by anger. Lin noticed that when a creature was extremely angry, its thinking ability would be greatly reduced. It was even possible for it to be unable to think at all.
"It's coming! Shoot! " Under Jing Kuang's command, the second arrow was immediately shot, but it only grazed the viper dragon's wings slightly. The Emerald Dragon was incomparably furious as it rode the viper dragon and charged directly onto the airship!
"Caw!" Mukla looked at the situation above and shouted to the other knights, "Let's cover it!"
