But they could only see it when they were a few hundred meters away. They hadn't been able to see that green smoke before.
There was a huge hole over a kilometer wide and over a hundred meters deep. The surroundings of the hole were filled with cracks that had experienced the vicissitudes of time.
The green smoke came from this hole. Everyone walked to the edge of the hole and saw what was inside. Everyone was shocked. Rena's face was pale, and her legs were trembling.
Lin Yun's pupils suddenly shrank as he exclaimed in alarm.
"How could there be an Ancient Poison Dragon here?"
In the hole, a huge Dragon covered in dark green scales was calmly lying there. That Dragon's eyes were closed, and it wasn't like the current Dragons, which only had thick hind limbs. This Dragon's limbs were very thick, and each of its claws had five fingers, two more than the current Dragons.
Those dark scales were covered in all kinds of strange and profound patterns. When those patterns were combined together, it seemed to be a terrifying array.
Moreover, there were two several-meter-long fangs exposed outside its lips. Its head wasn't very big, and it was at least half the size of the current Dragons.
Cold sweat trickled down Lin Yun's forehead. He might have been mistaken about something else, but how could he be mistaken about an Ancient Poison Dragon?
The Ancient Poison Dragon was a formidable being that was active in the God and Devil Era. In that era, even the Gods and Devils weren't willing to casually provoke an Ancient Poison Dragon. They had existed for far too long, and there were even legends that said that the Ancient Poison Dragon existed even longer than the Gods and Devils.
Although they were called Dragons, they were existences that surpassed all Dragons. Even the Chromatic Dragons could only be considered juniors that appeared later.
Every Ancient Poison Dragon was an innate Heaven Rank lifeform. The weakest Ancient Poison Dragon could tear apart other Dragons of the same rank.
Legend has it that in the distant God and Devil Era, there was a powerful Ancient Poison Dragon that once fought with the God and Devil. In the end, the God and Devil retreated and even gave up a lot of their territory.
This was because all Ancient Poison Dragons were a disaster for all lifeforms. Wherever they appeared, not even a blade of grass would grow. All lifeforms would die one by one. Even if these Ancient Poison Dragons just changed locations to continue their slumber, they could still cause the death of all lifeforms within a hundred kilometers.
Thus, Ancient Poison Dragons had another name: Plague Dragons. They were innately poisonous, and the poison emitted by their bodies could pollute a large area and kill all lifeforms under the Heaven Rank.
In the past, when the most powerful Ancient Poison Dragon fought against the Gods and Devils, the characteristics of space pollution were displayed to the extreme. After the battle, the area within a radius of thousands of kilometers became a dead zone, and the Gods and Devils were forced to retreat.
Even within the Colossal Dragon Race, all the other Colossal Dragons, including the Pentashade Dragons, were hostile to the Primordial Poison Dragons. The extinction of the Primordial Poison Dragons was recorded in the news. It was very likely that other Colossal Dragons had wiped out the Primordial Poison Dragons.
When he read about Ancient Poison Dragons in the decaying library, Lin Yun sighed. That kind of lifeform shouldn't have appeared, because wherever it appeared, that place would be completely destroyed. Snatching back the territory would be useless as the lifeforms within would all die and even the earth would be polluted. There wouldn't be any change for countless years, so even Gods could only pinch their noses and accept their defeat.
Thus, Lin Yun was very familiar with Ancient Poison Dragons. He had even seen their portraits, and they looked exactly the same as the one before his eyes.
The only difference was that the corpse of the Ancient Poison Dragon in front of him wasn't a very powerful Ancient Poison Dragon.
If it had been a powerful Ancient Poison Dragon, just the corpse alone would be enough to turn half of the Raging Flame Plane into a dead zone. It wouldn't just be the Poison Mist Valley that would turn into a poison-filled dead zone.
Lin Yun observed for a bit and understood why the Poison Mist Valley was the only place with poison. Before this Ancient Poison Dragon died, its aura had declined to the extreme, so the poison it emitted could only pollute the Poison Mist Valley after its death.
But Lin Yun was becoming more and more doubtful. How could there be an Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse here? This Poison Mist Valley seemed to have existed for countless years, but it shouldn't have been that ancient during the Era of Gods. Ancient Poison Dragons should have already gone extinct during the Era of Gods.
Looking at this Ancient Poison Dragon and knowing the origin of the Poison Mist Valley's poison, Lin Yun became even more doubtful.
A lot of thoughts flashed in Lin Yun's mind, but he noticed that Reina's expression was very unsightly.
"Reina, you should retreat a bit."
Lin Yun told Reina to stay away from this place. Although this Ancient Poison Dragon had been dead for countless years, its corpse hadn't decayed and was still emitting poison. Others couldn't feel too much pressure, but as a Dragon, Reina could feel it the most.
The corpse of a Heaven Rank Ancient Poison Dragon that was even older than the Chromatic Dragons wasn't something a Frost Dragon like Reina, who hadn't reached the Heaven Rank yet, could compare to.
That was the suppression of her soul and bloodline, and it was the same even after death.
Reina sighed in relief and nodded before returning the way she came. As for Lin Yun, he immediately started circling around that hole.
Xiuban scratched his head as he looked at the surroundings, baffled by this scene.
"Is Sir Merlin crazy? Sir Merlin doesn't want that Dragon's corpse, he's circling around …"
Anderfa mischievously chuckled.
"Xiuban, I can make the decision. Whatever you want from that Dragon, go ahead and take it. Merlin definitely won't let you hand it over. Do you see that claw? It's so sharp, and it's big and heavy, it's definitely suitable for you … "
Xiuban looked at Anderfa as if he was looking at an idiot.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you dare to touch something that even Sir Merlin hasn't touched? "
Anderfa's three faces immediately froze, his mouth wide open, not knowing what to say.
As for Lin Yun, he was like a squirrel frantically gathering food for the winter, crazily jumping around the hole.
The surroundings of the pit were covered with thick cracks. It seemed that the Ancient Poison Dragon had fallen from the sky and smashed into this place, creating a huge pit.
The small cracks in the surroundings were over a meter wide, while the big ones were eight meters wide. Lin Yun quickly observed these cracks.
It didn't take long before he found a pitch-black plant at the bottom of one of the cracks. That plant only had three leaves, and the longest one was only as long as a pinky finger.
Lin Yun's face was filled with ecstasy even though it didn't look like a medicinal ingredient.
As if digging for a rare treasure, Lin Li carefully manipulated the two Hands of Magic to slowly push away the soil around the plant. Then, he dug out the entire plant along with the soil and placed it in a clay pot.
After finding that plant, Lin Yun's movements were a lot faster. He used the Magic Array to capture the aura of that plant and quickly found seven similar plants.
After searching the surroundings of the hole once again, Lin Yun returned to the edge of the hole and looked at the Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse.
At this time, Reina, who had left earlier, returned with a cold expression. Next to her were Deloy's group.
Lin Yun wasn't surprised to see Deloy. That old guy could be said to be the smartest Gaugass Battlemage among the barbarians. In Okland, he could be considered the smartest mage.
It took him such a long time to react and chase after him. It was a little detrimental to his intelligence.
Deloy's expression was a bit strange when he arrived, especially when he saw the Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse in the hole. He couldn't help revealing a shocked expression.
'Sure enough! I felt that something was wrong. From the information I obtained, Mafa Merlin would never do anything useless, and it looks like that's the case!
'Not long after coming in, he became absent-minded and didn't even care about the harvest he encountered on the way. He didn't make a move in the fight and separated from us in the end.
'He really discovered something we didn't. I hadn't expected there to be an Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse here. This is the main culprit behind the Poison Mist Valley's current state.
'When we explored the Poison Mist Valley before, we never explored this direction. This place is desolate and has nothing of value. Moreover, the density of the poisonmist is very sparse. Every time we Gaugass Battlemages explore, time is very precious.
'How could we waste it in this kind of place? I hadn't expected this place to be the center of the Poison Mist Valley.'
Seeing the Ancient Poison Dragon's corpse, Deloy immediately understood why they hadn't discovered this place for so long. He also knew that if not for Lin Yun's poison resistance potions, they might have never explored this place.
No one would let go of the corpse of an Ancient Poison Dragon from the God and Devil Age.
Deloy moved in front of Lin Yun and shamelessly asked, "H.e. Mafa Merlin.
"Sir Mafa Merlin, do you want to harvest it now?"
Lin Yun didn't say anything. He simply didn't look at the Ancient Poison Dragon, as if he didn't care about it.
At this time, a person wearing heavy armor and a helmet stealthily retreated from the Gaugass Battlemages before taking a detour and slipping into the hole, stealthily approaching the Ancient Poison Dragon.
Everyone was standing in a blind spot, and the poisonous mist emitted by the Ancient Poison Dragon's body had turned into thick green smoke that blocked their line of sight. If they didn't use mana, there wouldn't be any fluctuations, and the people on the other side wouldn't notice that someone had already sneaked in.
That person walked to the bottom of the hole and looked at the huge Ancient Poison Dragon lying in front of him. He stealthily lifted his mask and saw that it was Kempes, who should have been sent back to be punished.
Kempes had a sneer on his face, and his eyes were filled with greed.
