Nidhogg said, "This is because magical plants don't have complex thinking and don't have powerful motor abilities, so this consequence is produced. Even higher-level magical plants' divination abilities have this flaw."

The thirty-one bloodlines in Nidhogg's body began to activate. Bloodline wizards had a method for dealing with botanical wizards' divination-type magical plants, which was to use numerous bloodlines to forcibly simulate a chaotic state. Over thirty bloodline spiritualities were enough to confuse even a Divination School wizard, let alone a magical plant that merely possessed divination abilities.

Unless that outside wizard mastered some profound First Circle botanical magic that could overcome this problem, otherwise as long as he did this, he could completely block the other party's ability to interfere with his spider intuition.

After doing all this, Nidhogg quickly strode his eight legs toward the direction where the other tremor sensation came from.

At the same time, on the other side of Poisonous Valley, Locke stayed in the poison lake. The third bloodline in his body—the true dragon bloodline also reached the First Circle vaporization stage.

Only after reaching the First Circle vaporization stage, it seemed that the toxins accumulated in Poisonous Valley for decades weren't enough. The process of continuing to use deadly poison to temper the body suddenly stopped.

Locke's body had completely recovered. At the same time, Locke's thoughts stirred slightly. A golden dragon scale appeared on the back of his left hand. On this golden dragon scale were some profound runes.

Those were draconic magic runes.

"The harvest from entering this secret realm cannot be said to be small." Locke said, "Poisonous Valley thoroughly upgraded the levels of the three bloodlines in my body. Although when upgrading the true dragon bloodline, it seems to have stopped halfway because every bit of improvement required consuming enormous energy, just accomplishing this is already extremely good."

"It saved me who knows how much effort."

"I really should thank Wizard Basil."

The dragon scale on the back of Locke's left hand faded and became normal fair skin. The dragon's power came from its scales. Dragon scales represented the dragon's power.

With this genuine dragon scale, Locke had true dragon power and also obtained the dragon's immortal body.

With the dragon scale, he could say he had gained another trump card.

Locke walked onto the poison lake. He looked back and saw that the entire poison lake had actually turned into clear water. The toxins accumulated in Poisonous Valley over decades had been completely exhausted to develop the potential of the true dragon bloodline in his body.

Locke changed into a set of wizard robes and was somewhat surprised. "I really can't figure out what kind my true dragon bloodline in my body is."

"It actually requires consuming so many resources."

"It seems that to elevate it to the First Circle crystallization stage, without Wizard Basil, it would be impossible to accomplish in Poisonous Valley."

Locke looked at the golden dragon scale on the back of his hand. Under the sunlight, it appeared golden and brilliant, like a mirror.

Locke's thoughts stirred. An immortal dragon power enveloped his body surface, strengthening his defense.

This kind of strengthening had a completely different principle from permanent defensive force fields. Rather, it strengthened his skin through this Immortal Dragon Scale, thus briefly obtaining immortality to the same degree as a First Circle vaporization stage true dragon.

This immortality didn't just greatly enhance Locke's defensive power. Locke also felt his lifespan had obviously increased.

He estimated internally, "About three hundred years of increased lifespan. Worthy of being an Immortal Dragon Scale. I actually directly gained three hundred years of lifespan."

"Looking at it this way, the original host and his siblings should all have been an experiment conducted by a high-circle female witch to obtain true dragon bloodline or offspring with true dragon bloodline." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

This kind of experiment's level obviously exceeded what a First Circle wizard could conduct.

Locke walked on the poison lake shore. His left hand's Immortal Dragon Scale appeared and disappeared. A special ability seemed to appear along with the formation of the mysterious dragon bloodline. His pupils slightly turned golden, then he turned his head to look behind a rock. "Come out."

Three women with obvious spider features on their faces walked out. A spider woman hurriedly bowed to Locke and said, "Lord Wizard, we are life forms in this wizard secret realm, the vassal race of Lord Basil in the past."

"We are the spider woman clan."

"I am Blanche, this is Buchanan..."

This spider woman exposed her wrist to show Locke. On that wrist was a silk gland opening. As her right wrist's muscles exerted slight force, a green silk thread spat out, shooting toward the rock at Locke's feet.

That silk thread fell on the rock and produced an intense corrosion phenomenon. The intense reaction caused large amounts of boiling water vapor to appear.

Blanche said to Locke, "Our ancestors were once part of Wizard Basil's Grand Magic, his vassal race. Regarding this point, we also spent a very long time figuring it out."

"Our forebears used their lives to understand the truth of this cage, to know that our clan doesn't live in the present but lives in a cage of the past, becoming burial offerings for Wizard Basil's tomb. We spent who knows how many generations finally summarizing the method to leave this cage."

Blanche placed three Poison Pearls in her palm as if presenting treasure, then carefully, afraid that Locke would reach out to seize the three Poison Pearls in her palm.

"According to our ancestors' tests, as long as we can gather five Poison Pearls in this cage, one spider woman can leave this cage."

'They actually know how to leave the secret realm.' A glint of interest finally flashed in Locke's eyes. He looked at these three spider women and thought, 'The descendants of the vassal race discovered the truth and thus want to struggle to escape this echo?'

'This is indeed a special phenomenon. Even if the ancestors of these vassal races were loyal to Wizard Basil, their descendants don't have that certain feeling toward the ancestor Wizard Basil. Naturally they're unwilling to stay here as a gravekeeper race.'

'These vassal races all have ordinary First Circle level magical pressure. After all, they're a Second Circle wizard's gravekeepers. Actually their strength isn't weak.'

Spider woman Blanche said somewhat cautiously, "Lord Wizard, we want to negotiate a transaction with you. We want to obtain enough Poison Pearls so our companions can all leave this cage."

"As a transaction, we can tell you a piece of information crucial to you. We spider women can set up spider silk on the ground. This way, in this cage, no matter what outsiders enter, we can immediately perceive them and know exactly what's happening in this small area of the cage."

Blanche felt Locke's magical pressure, which compared to hers was like the sun, and swallowed. "We want to request that you help us collect Poison Pearls. As a transaction, we will sell you information crucial to your safety and will help you resolve this danger."

Locke glanced at Blanche and said, "The transaction you want to make with me is to tell me that there's an enemy of mine in this wizard secret realm?"

The expressions of Blanche and the three spider women changed dramatically. They didn't expect Locke to immediately expose the trump card they were using for the transaction.

Locke looked toward a rock ahead. "Actually, from the beginning I wasn't calling you out, but calling him out."

Locke looked at the Immortal Dragon Scale on his left hand. The Immortal Dragon Scale was the source of the true dragon's power. After he obtained this Immortal Dragon Scale, that intuition that appeared from time to time in battle was strengthened again, becoming a kind of super intuition that seemed present and absent, sometimes working and sometimes not.

Through this super intuition, not long after Locke walked out of the poison lake, he sensed a wizard harboring strong hostility toward him rapidly approaching him. After approaching him, the wizard chose to secretly sneak and hide behind a rock.

When he spoke out just now, calling for someone to come out, he was actually calling for him to come out, not for these three spider women to come out.

Locke noticed that his super intuition was rapidly disappearing.

Immediately, he frowned. This divination-like magical ability from the true dragon bloodline still seemed extremely unstable and wasn't a very reliable power.

But strangely, although he clearly obtained divination-type abilities, no corresponding side effects appeared.

There were three possibilities. The first possibility was that side effects didn't exist. The second possibility was that he temporarily hadn't discovered the side effects.

The third possibility was that because this ability hadn't stably formed, there were no side effects.

Moreover, the side effects of divination abilities from bloodline studies were originally different from the price that needed to be paid for divination magic abilities learned through acquired means. The two had great differences.

The three spider women turned around in shock to look at an eight-legged spider walking from behind a distant rock. That spider had a human upper body and spider lower body.

It was Nidhogg.

At this moment, Nidhogg curled his lips. "I see. So it was you lowly races causing trouble. Using me as a favor? Ridiculous. You're just descendants of my ancestor's lowly vassal race. Having received the grace of our Basil family, you actually dare betray the Land of Six Towers."

"You will pay the price."

With every step Nidhogg took, his body grew larger. Beast Body, Boiling Blood, Second Boiling, Third Berserker, Vajra Body—these universal bloodline magics were recklessly applied to his body.

At the same time, Nidhogg stared at Locke and said, "I clearly already used the chaotic bloodlines in my body to create interference and produce the [Chaos Phenomenon], but you still could use some kind of intuition ability to perceive me. This means your divination ability doesn't come from magical plants."

"But from the bloodline in your body. That is to say, it's your bloodline that interfered with my divination perception of you, causing me to make wrong judgments before and actually miss taking action against you when you were at your weakest."

"Hard to believe that the bloodline power of a wizard from the outside world could reach this degree."
