After dealing with several lurking rangers hidden in the books, the clay puppet several kilometers away also turned into soil and disappeared into the ground. Bexia stayed vigilant for a long time before finally relaxing. For now, it could be considered safe.
Bexia applied some medicine to his shoulder, wrapping it with clothes. Meanwhile, his mind was pondering over who was behind the assassination attempt. Initially, he thought it was the young man from the Holy Shield Family, but after the appearance of the undead creatures, Bexia abandoned that theory. However, judging from the traces, whether it was the heir of the Holy Shield Family or the witch priest of the Great Dragon Church, there was definitely a connection, or maybe even someone instigating them to come.
But it was intriguing that a necromancer managed to infiltrate. However, Bexia quickly realized that it was impossible for a necromancer to slip in. How could those individuals filled with death energy escape the scrutiny of the referees? Bexia speculated that someone must have brought necromancer-made props into the Dragon God Space.
"Whatever, finding the Soul Flower is more important!" Bexia shook his head. It wasn't that he didn't want to think about these matters, but his opponent was hiding in the dark and he had no information whatsoever. Even if he racked his brain, he probably wouldn't be able to guess anything. It was better not to waste his mental energy on that. He would just deal with whatever came his way. He didn't believe those people could really harm him.
Following the river upstream, as the most prominent water source on the Great Plains, a habitat for numerous dragon beasts, Bexia also considered the possibility of eavesdroppers in the dark. He put on the invisible cloak and used levitation to float, erasing all traces left on the ground.
Isha was right, this place is truly a treasure trove. Along the way, Bexia saw many patches of growing magical herbs, each plant worth tens or hundreds of gold coins on the outside. He even saw an Extreme-level stone turtle-like dragon beast guarding a top-quality magical herb, which could probably be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins. However, with such a powerful stone turtle guarding it, it would be troublesome to acquire it.
Bexia saw many magical herbs along the way, but he didn't make a move. The situation here was very special, and until he found the Soul Flower, he didn't plan to waste his limited time in the Dragon God Space fighting for these dragon beasts.
Without realizing it, he had already gone far beyond the range previously agreed upon with the Witch Miss. Bexia continued upstream alone, which was actually part of his plan. As long as he was alone, he had confidence in his own safety. With the power of the Eight Extremes Umbrella, no one could keep up with him. So, he chose to explore alone from the beginning.
As he witnessed more and more magical herbs, Bexia realized why the Soul Flower existed here. Because this place was simply a paradise for magical herbs. The closer he got to the Lost Souls Canyon, the more varieties of magical herbs there were. However, the strength of the dragon beasts also became stronger. Along the way, Bexia saw several items of extremely rare and precious quality, each guarded by extremely powerful dragon beasts. Each of them gave Bexia a terrifying feeling.
Fortunately, these powerful dragon beasts also had a silver lining. Bexia's upcoming journey didn't require him to detour too far. As long as he avoided provoking these super dragon beasts, he would be fine.
Almost unhindered, he reached the bottom of the Lost Souls Canyon. The thunderous roar of the huge waterfall made his eardrums ache. The foaming waves splashed up to dozens of meters high. The lake formed by this waterfall was extremely huge, with a diameter of at least four or five kilometers. The shores were covered with patches of low and mid-level magical herbs, among which there were also some of higher quality.
Apart from the sound of water waves hitting the lake, there was no sign of any other living creatures around the lake. This was not a good sign and it indicated that there was some danger here.
Although Bexia had an invisible cloak of champion level, it might not be very useful against a champion opponent. Combined with the dragon beasts seen along the way, Bexia had a sudden thought that there might be champion-level dragon beasts here.
However, this was the only place where there was news of soul flowers, so Bexia couldn't just run away out of fear. Bexia took out the Eight-Dimensional Cloud Umbrella and prepared to escape at any time. After all, in front of a champion, Bexia had no room for resistance.
Using levitation magic, Bexia began to explore around the lake. Each of the densely packed magic herbs here emitted magic fluctuations several times stronger than those of similar magic herbs in the outside world. If these magic herbs were used to make secret medicine, their effects would definitely be greatly enhanced.
Bexia looked at these magic herbs for a while. Since he had come, it would be a waste if he didn't find any soul flowers. Instead of that, it would be better to gather some magic herbs. Previously, he had made two meals and used up most of the magic herbs. It would be a good idea to replenish them.
Having thought of this, Bexia began to pick the magic herbs. Of course, not all the magic herbs were needed. He chose some precious varieties to pick, not too many to waste too much time, but they were valuable enough.
There were really too many magic herbs here. Even if Bexia made selective choices, he soon harvested hundreds of magic herbs. At the same time, he also discovered a place that made him curious. It was on top of the waterfall, and as he looked up along the steep mountain, it seemed to pierce through the sky, and the waterfall seemed to be flowing down from the sky.
Why not go up and take a look?! Bexia was startled by this sudden thought, but after thinking about it, he nodded. Mysterious things always attracted people to explore them. He had a feeling that there might be something he wanted up there.
Bexia continued to circle around the lake, harvesting hundreds of precious magic herbs. Then he glanced at the top of the waterfall, and the Eight-Dimensional Cloud Umbrella appeared in his hand.
The teleportation ability of the Eight-Dimensional Cloud Umbrella had a limitation. It could only be used in the area within sight. But sometimes, seeing it didn't necessarily mean safety. If he accidentally appeared in some floating place or next to some source of danger, it would be bad.
Bexia locked onto a rock that was just spit out and teleported to stand on it. He looked up again and used the Eight-Dimensional Cloud Umbrella to appear on another higher rock.
After teleporting consecutively more than ten times, Bexia looked up and still couldn't see the top of the mountain. He couldn't help but be surprised. He knew that every time he teleported, he had a distance of at least two to three hundred meters. After more than ten times, he estimated that he was at least three thousand meters above the ground, and he still couldn't see the top of the mountain. How high was this mountain!
But that didn't matter. With the Eight Cloud Umbrella, he would definitely be able to reach the top. However, before he could move, he suddenly noticed a faint light not far ahead. In the faint mist, the dew on a blue flower was shining.
