Nighttime
Of course, there is no concept of nighttime in the Dragon God Space, but the timer currently shows that it is nighttime. Two priestesses are getting ready for dinner, while others are sitting around the campfire discussing what lies ahead.
Bexia also pays attention to Long Momo's team, which is quite small. Besides Isha and Long Nisi, Long Momo only has six priestesses by her side. Originally, there were seven, but one was killed in the forest earlier. Although Long Momo was mentally prepared for this, it still made her very angry and helpless!
The other six priestesses also feel sad after hearing the news of their companion's death. They have been good friends since childhood, so it's only natural that they would feel sorrow upon hearing about their friend's passing.
According to Long Momo, it is not difficult to go directly from here to the Dragon God Palace. It is easy to rush through, but entering the palace is not so simple. The palace's gate can only be activated with Dragon Force Elixir, and it takes one thousand drops for each person to enter. This can only be achieved by continuously hunting Dragon Beasts, which is the real challenge.
"Don't the people who taught you provide you with the elixir?" Bexia asked, but he immediately regretted it because he realized why it was this way.
"This is also a trial set by the church. If you can't even collect one thousand drops of Dragon Force Elixir, how can you inherit the position of High Priest?" Long Momo answered.
"But there are other ways. According to the information provided by the church, there are special places around the Dragon God Palace that accumulate a large amount of Dragon Force Elixir at regular intervals. This is another way to quickly enter the palace!" Long Momo explained.
"I knew it! How could it be possible to gather so much Dragon Force Elixir just by killing Dragon Beasts?"
"But these places are not easy to access. Each place is guarded by many Dragon Beasts, and to obtain the Dragon Force Elixir inside, you must eliminate all the beasts guarding it!" Long Momo frowned as her finger traced on the simple map, then continued, "Moreover, the closest location to us will definitely be targeted by Long Hao. He may have already sent someone there, and if we go, we will definitely confront him directly."
"At the moment, there is no benefit to clash with Long Hao, so I have decided to go to another place. Although it is a bit farther, it will save us a lot of unnecessary trouble!"
"What do you think?" Long Momo looked at Bexia and Long Nisi, while the others certainly had no objections.
"It doesn't matter!" Long Nisi shrugged.
"Same here!" Bexia nodded.
"Then let me briefly explain the terrain here..." Long Momo pointed to one of the four locations circled on the map and said, "This place is called the Misty Gorge. It is surrounded by steep cliffs on both sides and is constantly enveloped in poisonous gas. But you don't have to worry about it; we have already prepared protective charms against the poison!"
"But you need to be careful of the Dragon Beasts inside. They are all poisonous creatures, and their toxicity is extremely strong. Even the antidotes we prepared in advance may not be able to counter all the toxins inside. So, everyone must be particularly cautious when entering, and try not to be easily harmed by the poisonous Dragon Beasts!"
"Sure!" Bexia and Long Nisi nodded their heads. After discussing some basic information, there was nothing much else to say. Most of the information was from the previous opening of the Dragon God Space, which had occurred fifty years ago. It could only serve as a reference for learning, and everything had to be confirmed through practical experience.
At this point, the two witch sisters had already prepared the basic cooking tools. Bexia unintentionally glanced over and remembered what one of the witch sisters had said earlier. He knew that Long Momo and Long Hao had fought today and consumed a lot of energy. With this in mind, an idea came to his mind - he suggested that he should give it a try.
"Why don't you let me handle this mundane task!" The witch sister did not directly concede to Bexia. After all, in their eyes, Bexia and Long Momo were friends and had equal status. They were specialized in serving Long Momo as witches, so their position was lower than Bexia's. How could they bother Bexia with such a trivial matter?
Even if Bexia suggested it himself, it was still not acceptable!
"You can cook?"
"A little!" Bexia continued, "Let me give it a try. The food I make has special effects."
Of course, Bexia didn't really mean he knew how to cook. He only knew how to stew medicinal herbs, and even he, as the creator, couldn't say for sure what the final result would be. However, one thing was certain - food made according to his recipe would definitely have benefits when consumed.
"Hehe, then let's see what you can do!" Long Nisi laughed. In fact, she was the best cook among them. After all, she had been in charge of the entire church's meals before.
"I'm also looking forward to your cooking skills!" Long Momo's remark meant that she agreed to Bexia's request. The two witch sisters exchanged glances and made way for Bexia. Seeing this, Bexia rolled up his sleeves and prepared to show off his skills to the girls.
"What are you planning to make?" Long Nisi curiously asked.
"I'll just make a meat soup. Don't be disgusted!" Bexia said as he took out a half-person-high wooden barrel from the space. It was filled with ice, and there were some frozen sea fish inside, which he had caught when he was bored at sea.
"Let's make a fish soup!" Bexia grabbed a snow-white, meter-long fish with snowflake-like patterns all over its body. It was the best snowflake fish he had caught while fishing, a rare delicacy among fish.
However, although the ingredients seemed good, when Bexia poured all the prepared ingredients into the pot, everyone's faces changed. It didn't look like stew at all; instead, it gave the impression of a black wizard researching some kind of poison. The color of the soup had turned silver-white, which was not the natural color of soup, was it?
And all the things Bexia had just added were potions with considerable magic power. Although they were all good things, can the mixture of all these ingredients really be eaten?
If it were said that the production of the medicinal potion was the result of mixing various potions in proportions, it was the result of countless experiments. But the soup that Bexia stewed completely subverted their expectations.
"We appreciate your intention, Bexia, but let them cook dinner," Long Momo couldn't bear to watch anymore and spoke up.
"Although it doesn't look good, the effect is pretty good!" Bexia adjusted the silver-white soup a little. He could roughly guess that the effect would be to restore magic power, physical strength, and even mental power.
"Nyssa, please try this!" Bexia handed a bowl to Nyssa and watched her with a peculiar expression on her face. Bexia felt that her masterpiece wasn't recognized.
"Well... I'll try a little bit." Nyssa took a small spoonful and put it in her mouth. Fortunately, the taste wasn't too strange, just an ordinary sensation. However, it seemed to have a special effect...
