“Okay!” Sole Wolf gladly agreed.
When Stefan saw that Zeke was about to enter the valley, his face was drained of color.
He whirled around and hurried to report what he had seen to the president.
If Zeke discovers the secret of the valley, I won't be able to withstand his fury! Things have gone out of my control! I must get the president to do something!
However, before he had the chance to flee, Sole Wolf shot out an Invincible Wave Energy. Stefan was swept backward and forced to his knees with a loud crack.
“Trying to get away? I haven't even started with you yet!”
“Do it,” Stefan said. He was ready for death.
At that moment, Zeke jumped into Bloodshot Valley.
He wrapped his body with his Invincible Wave Energy and descended slowly.
The strange thing about Bloodshot Valley was that the deeper one descended into it, the more the black fog faded away.
After Zeke descended one kilometer downward, the black fog had completely disappeared.
He was on high alert. He watched his surroundings vigilantly.
Bloodshot Valley looked just like any other valley.
The only difference was that the energy down there felt much stronger than above.
Slowly floating down two kilometers, Zeke found that he had reached the bottom of the valley.
The floor of the valley was covered by a blanket of white mist.
Bloodshot Valley is only two kilometers deep? That's impossible! Both Sole Wolf and Killer Wolf have explored this valley before! They clearly said that they descended two kilometers and still did not reach the bottom!
Zeke prodded the ground gingerly with his foot. The ground felt unnaturally hard, almost like iron.
Using his energy, he blew away the mist surrounding him. The scene that was revealed shocked him to his core.
The ground was covered with scales the size of his palm.
He gently lifted one of the scales and found warm flesh and blood flowing beneath it.
I'm not standing on the floor of the valley; I'm standing on a... living creature!
He gathered his energy and blew away more of the mist surrounding him. Even as he looked into the far distance, he could see no end to the behemoth that he was standing on.
The creature's body filled the entire valley. That was why Zeke had mistaken his body for the floor of the valley.
Zeke guessed that it must be an enormous snake-like creature.
It was scaly all over and stretched as far as his eyes could see.
A dragon! The word flashed across Zeke's mind, unprompted.
Do dragons really exist in this world? Is Bloodshot Valley actually a dragon's lair?
While Zeke was still recovering from his shock, the creature moved beneath his feet.
Its massive body twisted suddenly and lurched forward.
Zeke quickly summoned his Invincible Wave Energy and floated into the air. He carefully observed the dragon's body from above.
The dragon slithered fifty meters forward and swiftly disappeared from sight.
The dragon's tail alone was at least fifty meters long. If its tail is already so long, its body must be at least a hundred meters long!
At that moment, Zeke felt as if his entire understanding of the world had turned upside down.
If dragons exist, then surely immortal and divine beings exist as well!
However, Zeke had not seen the head of the creature. He could not be sure that it was truly a dragon.
After the dragon disappeared, a bottomless abyss appeared beneath Zeke's feet.
Zeke glanced in the direction where the dragon had left and gazed down into the black abyss beneath him. He decided he would go down into the abyss to explore it first.
He floated down slowly, descending a full two kilometers before he finally reached the bottom.
At the bottom, a wide river was coursing rapidly. It was flowing in the direction where the dragon had disappeared.
The banks on both sides of the river were narrow.
Zeke followed the current, walking along one side of the riverbank.
As he walked, his eyes roamed around. He hoped to locate the bodies of Noah's men who had fallen into the valley.
However, even after walking for several kilometers, he still did not come across any bodies.
The remains must have been carried away by the river...
The river was endless. Zeke had walked for a full five kilometers, but he still had not reached the end of the river.
At that moment, he heard faint chants coming from somewhere up ahead.
His ears perked up.
