Chapter 5654
Looking at the Snake King, Kai suddenly remembered his Golden Dragon bloodline.
The Golden Dragon, king of beasts, possessed a natural power to intimidate snakes.
Without hesitation, he cut his finger, letting the blood drip onto the ground.
Instantly, a powerful dragon’s might emanated from Kai, spreading outwards.
Sensing this might, the snakes retreated in terror, hissing mournfully.
Even the once-arrogant Snake King showed fear; it hesitated for a moment, then turned and led its horde away.
Kai and Liu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily.
The battle had exhausted them; their bodies ached, and they could barely move their fingers.
“That was close! If it weren’t for your Golden Dragon bloodline, we probably would be dead today,”
Liu Xue said, still shaken.
Kai nodded. “Yes, it seems the Golden Dragon bloodline can be useful sometimes. However, we need to find a place to rest and treat our wounds quickly.”
Just then, they heard footsteps approaching from not far away.
Kai and Liu Xue immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly and staring intently in the direction of the sound.
Soon, an old woman and a child came into their view.
The old woman had gray hair and a face full of wrinkles; she walked with a limp, leaning on a cane.
The child was a boy, about fifteen or sixteen years old, who stared at Kai and Liu Xue with wide, curious eyes.
“Who are you? What are you doing here?”
the old woman asked warily.
Kai quickly replied, “Grandma, we came from somewhere else and accidentally got lost. Could you tell us where we are?”
Hearing Kai’s words, the old woman’s wariness lessened slightly. “This is the Spirit Wasteland, a forgotten world. How did you come to be here?”
“The Spirit Wasteland?”
Kai and Liu Xue exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.
They had never heard of this name before, nor did they know where the Spirit Wasteland was.
“Grandma, we don’t know why we came here either. We were in some ruins when we touched an ancient book, then lost consciousness, and when we woke up, we were here,”
Kai said truthfully.
Hearing Kai’s words, the old woman fell into deep thought. “An ancient book? Could it be that legendary… never mind, let’s not talk about that now.
You seem injured. Why don’t you come back to the village with us? We have herbs in our village that can treat your wounds.”
Kai and Liu Xue hesitated. They didn’t know if the old woman and the child were trustworthy, but they were seriously injured and knew nothing about this place, so they could only follow them back to the village to see what was
going on. So, they followed the old woman and the child towards the village.
Along the way, the old woman kept chatting with them, asking where they came from and what the outside world was like.
Kai and Liu Xue answered cautiously, while observing their surroundings.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally arrived at the village.
The village was small, with only a few dozen households, and the houses were mostly built of mud and stone, looking very simple.
When the villagers saw the old woman returning with two strangers, they all cast curious glances at them.
The old woman led Kai and Liu Xue to a dilapidated house, then took out some herbs and began to treat their wounds.
While treating their wounds, Kai and Liu Xue noticed that the villagers seemed very strange; their eyes revealed a kind of greed and indifference.
