This was a secluded valley in the Boundless Mountain Range.
The ancient trees in the forest were tall and strong, and the open palm-leaf fans and large umbrellas easily occupied an area of about an acre. The surroundings were also filled with tall mountains, crisscrossing ravines, and the chirping of birds and insects.
Honestly speaking, it was hard to believe that this was the first time one had seen such a beautiful place. It was actually the famous place of death in the entire plane.
The Holy Dragon Valley … This was the forbidden place that was rumored to have a dragon graveyard — the Holy Dragon Valley!
In the dense forest of the valley, a team of five sorcerers was making their way forward with great difficulty, cutting their way through thistles and thorns.
The one in charge of opening the path was a rank 2 Magus called Ernst. He wielded two sharp, long, and shiny Blazing War Blades. Every time he slashed, he would chop the bushes or vampiric vines that were crawling all over the ground into pieces. Then, he would burn them with raging flames, and a wide, flat road would appear in front of them.
After the fire, the mutated magic plants that were hiding in the bushes were exposed. They hurriedly pulled out their roots from the soil and shook their strange bodies, intending to hide at the side. Unfortunately, their movements were too slow. Before they could escape from the Path of Ashes, Ernst's terrifying foot, which was heavier than Mount Tai and harder than a boulder, came crashing down.
* Creak … *
The soundless screams of the mutated magic plants before their deaths resounded in the forest. This purely spiritual scream spread far and wide, and the surrounding forest immediately responded with a buzzing sound.
As if sensing that this group of intruders was not to be trifled with, the man-eating flowers, vampiric vines, and soul-sucking grasses that were hiding in the bushes and vines began to flee to the sides, trying their best to avoid the direction of the Magus team.
Hearing the densely packed soil and the sounds of tiny vines escaping, the rank 3 Magus in the middle of the team revealed a look of disgust.
"This is indeed the forbidden place of the plane. There are actually so many forbidden life forms hidden here! Hmph, Ernst, don't hold back against these demonized brats … "After saying this, the Magus team leader turned around and asked softly," Sina, did you discover anything? "
Sina was the only female Magus in the team, and she was also a Spirit Warlock.
She wore a moon-white, tight-fitting robe with a wide belt that accentuated her slender waist and towering breasts. Compared to other wizards, Sina's skin was fairer and smoother. Her long silver hair was draped over her shoulders, and there was a sparkling and translucent Soul Crystal in the middle of her forehead.
"East … Head towards that precipice. I can sense that the death aura there is much thicker than the surroundings!"
Psionic Warlocks were proficient in Mind Divergent Techniques, so their Mind Power was naturally the most sensitive and powerful. Most of the time, they were able to discover anomalies that others couldn't.
Therefore, in the absence of a Prophet in the team, the Psionic Warlock could still act as a human radar and exert his powerful mental power.
"Did you hear that? Advance towards the precipice … "
Following the Wizard Captain's order, the team of five continued to advance, slowly approaching the thousand-meter-tall precipice hidden in the depths of the forest.
The terrain here was very strange. First, it was a low-lying valley that stretched for nearly a hundred miles, then slowly rose to form a gentle slope. At the end of the forest was a thousand-meter-tall precipice. The surface of the precipice was so flat that it looked like it had been cut by a knife. Green vines and strange flowers crawled all over the precipice, and the top of the precipice was a snow-covered mountain peak.
The scenery here was beautiful and pleasant, and the mountains and ancient trees were verdant. It was hard to associate this place with the terrifying Holy Dragon Valley of legends.
However, behind this beautiful scenery that was full of vitality and picturesque scenery, Sina could sense a lingering cold aura lingering around the team, lingering for a long time.
"Hmph, insignificant tricks … Come out!"
When the team was not far from the precipice, Sina's eyes suddenly sharpened. The Soul Crystal in the middle of her forehead suddenly shone with a dazzling light, turning into a ball of white light that shot towards a tall, towering ancient tree beside the team.
"Argh …"
A scream that occurred purely on the spiritual level resounded in everyone's mind.
In the next second, the earth shook and swelled, the soil tumbled and cracked. The tall ancient tree trembled and rose from the ground, pulling out thick, black, snake-like roots from the soil, and began to move with a squeaking sound.
A large piece of the wrinkled bark that was blasted by the white light was peeled off, revealing a scene that made people's hair stand on end.
Even if the bark of an ordinary ancient tree was peeled off, what was revealed inside would only be a wooden trunk, veins, and the like. But after the surface of the withered giant tree cracked, what flowed out of it was a putrid, pungent, and rotten black blood. Looking through the gap, what they saw was a horrendous wriggling corpse.
The thick trunk of the withered giant tree, which was tens of meters tall, was filled with human corpses that were soaked in sticky black blood!
As if sensing that it had been exposed, the withered tree began to shake its body. Countless twisted branches and vines condensed into a large hand, which viciously slapped towards Ernst, who was at the front of the group.
At the same time, countless tall ancient trees in the surrounding lush forest began to tremble and move. The terrifying scene of tall figures rising from the ground could be seen everywhere in the forest.
"We've entered the enemy's ambush. Defend immediately!" The leader of the Magi immediately shouted, and a dazzling, intense elemental light rose from his body, "Sina, report our position to the camp and ask them to send reinforcements. Everyone else, prepare for battle … "
In the next moment, the sound of elemental spells exploded in the boundless forest!
… …
About ten miles away, in the camp in the forest.
The leader, the rank 3 Magus Callum, slowly rotated the Snake Eye Ring on his right pinkie, ending the connection with a spell in the distance.
He casually ordered ten elite Magi to rush into the forest to carry out the rescue. Then, he turned to Grimm, who was resting with his eyes closed, and said softly, "My lord, the team in front has already made contact with the enemy's outer perimeter. I reckon we'll be able to find the dragon tomb soon …"
"Alright, got it!" Grimm nodded indiscernibly, and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
With the A.I. Chip's powerful data processing abilities, Grimm had already analysed the laws of this plane. From that moment onwards, he would no longer be affected by the pervasive suppression of the plane.
Though he would still be suppressed by the power of the plane when he used strength at the peak of rank 4, it was much better than when he had to fight enemies with half his body bound.
This way, Grimm would have the ability to protect himself in the plane.
Even if they were besieged by multiple enemies and victory was impossible, there was no problem in escaping safely.
With this layer of protection, Grimm had decided to make a move. He had taken advantage of the gap between the two sides to come out and explore the plane, wantonly plundering it.
With his current identity, it was naturally impossible for him to explore alone like in the past. The commander of Danmodor City, Merlaura, did not hesitate to send Grimm an elite team of Magi for him to command at will.
Hence, the current scene. Grimm sat quietly in the camp, waiting while his subordinates scattered into the forest to search for the legendary Holy Dragon Valley.
According to the information Grimm had, the so-called Holy Dragon Valley was just a dragon's tomb with a long history.
A long time ago, there seemed to have been some ancient dragons in the plane. However, as the orcs gradually took over the plane, the dragons could no longer endure the constant harassment and covetousness of the orcs, and were forced to move out of the plane.
However, they could not move the dragon graveyard that had been around for generations, and could only seal it and hide it in the Holy Dragon Valley. As thousands of years passed, a terrifying Dracolich appeared there, and it quickly became one of the more famous and powerful beings in the plane.
Even though there was only one peak rank 4 Dracolich in the dragon's tomb, it relied on the countless traps and graveyard guards to stop the orcs from clearing it out.
If there were still living dragons in the Holy Dragon Valley, the orcs would definitely not let go of this treasure trove that could show off their might. However, if it was a group of Undead Dragons, then the Orcs would lose interest and become dispirited.
The plane did not have the advanced alchemy skills of the Magus World, which could refine dragon bones and dragon crystals into powerful killing weapons. The orcs were all muscleheads, and even their brains were full of muscles. What methods did they have to deal with those bones?
It was because of this reason that the Ancient Dragon Tomb was able to be preserved.
However, this place that the orcs were not interested in was a treasure trove for Magi like Grimm. Hence, as soon as he heard the news, Grimm ran over immediately.
"The fifth squad has already made contact with the guards outside the ancient tomb …"
"The first and fourth squads have arrived at the scene to provide support …"
"The elite squad has also arrived at the battlefield, and are clearing out the guards …"
"The second squad has broken through the inner defence line, and found the entrance to the underground tunnel to the dragon's tomb …"
"Magus Derek has brought three of his subordinates into the tunnel, and are clearing out the magic traps inside …"
"A rank 3 dragon soul has appeared in the tunnel, and the battle at the frontlines is extremely intense …"
"Emergency, emergency … A large number of high-ranked dragon graveyard guards have appeared at the frontlines, requesting for more elite Magi …"
Graveyard guards?
Hearing this name, Grimm suddenly opened his eyes, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.
Since the graveyard guards had appeared, this meant that the Magus squad had found the true location of the dragon's tomb!
"Let's go! Bring all the members and destroy this dragon's tomb in one go, then leave as soon as possible … We don't want the orcs to hear about this and come looking for trouble! "With these words, Grimm's hand flashed, and the Book of Darkness silently appeared.
"Remy, you'll be the vanguard!"
"Yes!"
