Chapter 5654Looking at the Snake King, David suddenly remembered the Golden Dragon bloodline within him.The Golden Dragon, king of beasts, possessed a natural power of intimidation over these snakes.Without hesitation, he cut his finger, letting the blood drip onto the ground.Instantly, a powerful dragon’s might emanated from David, 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 swiftly.David and Liu Xue breathed a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground, panting heavily.The battle had exhausted them; their bodies ached, and even their fingers were difficult to move.“That was close! If it weren’t for your Golden Dragon bloodline, we’d probably be done for today,”Liu Xue said, still shaken.David nodded. “Yes, it seems the Golden Dragon bloodline can be useful sometimes. But we need to find a place to rest and treat our wounds quickly.”Just then, they heard footsteps approaching from nearby.David 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 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 David and Liu Xue with wide, curious eyes.“Who are you? What are you doing here?”the old woman asked warily.David quickly said, “Grandma, we came from somewhere else and accidentally got lost here. Can you tell us where this place is?” HearingDavid’s words, the old woman’s wariness lessened slightly: “This is the Spirit Wasteland, a forgotten world. How did you get here?”“The Spirit Wasteland?”David and Liu Xue exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.They had never heard of this name before and didn’t know where the Spirit Wasteland was.“Grandma, we don’t know why we got here either. We were originally in some ruins when we touched an ancient book, then lost consciousness, and when we woke up, we were here,”David said truthfully.Hearing David’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 there that can treat your wounds.”David 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 it was like.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.David 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. Most of the houses were built of mud and stone, looking very simple.noveldramaThe villagers looked at the old woman with curious eyes when they saw her bringing two strangers back.The old woman led David and Liu Xue to a dilapidated house, then took out herbs and treated their wounds.While treating the wounds, David and Liu Xue noticed that the villagers seemed very strange, with greed and indifference in their eyes.
