Chapter 7: The Eagle and the Dragon

Su Yun was once again thrown out as bait.

This time, the world outside the door made Su Yun feel an overwhelming sense of desolation.

Within this barrenness was an endless despair and deathly silence.

Looking up, all she saw was yellow earth—nothing but yellow earth.

It was even more terrifying than anything she had experienced before.

At least, back then, there had still been withered trees.

But here, it was an endless plain, as if she had reached the end of time itself.

Nothing remained.

The fierce wind whipped up yellow sand, pelting her armor with a clinking sound.

Su Yun’s petite figure shivered slightly; she couldn’t help but turn to look behind her.

Three witches were laughing and chatting, while another witch was sprawled on the ground, sound asleep.

None of them showed any intention of caring about her.

Su Yun had no idea what she was supposed to do.

That unknown magic potion made her body constantly emit a rich fragrance.

She simply stood there all alone.

She didn’t know how much time had passed.

A piercing crane cry echoed from the distance, reaching up to the clouds.

Su Yun instantly tensed her nerves.

The witches, upon hearing the sound, immediately stepped out of the doorway.

Even the slumbering witch pulled herself up, holding on to the door frame.

“Qingqing… mm… bird….”

Su Qiuyue, as the only member of the team who was a near level-50 high-ranking witch and a Dream Path Adept Mage, sensed a trace of danger even within her own woven dreams.

“There’s more than just birds out there…” The golden-haired witch, Liu Heng, exhaled a heavy breath and drew out a staff embedded with nine dazzling gemstones.

Like Mo Qingqing, she was a spatial mage who had barely brushed against the threshold of the laws.

She could clearly feel the spatial ripples caused by the intense magic power surrounding them.

They were surrounded.

“How about… let’s not do this… I really have a bad feeling…” The afro-haired witch, Qian Wan’er, seemed as cautious as Su Yun.

“You don’t want to go back to eating bread every day, do you?” Mo Qingqing adjusted her hat brim as she spoke.

“How could we possibly win against such power….”

Despite her words, a staff that looked like a Halloween candy cane appeared in her hand.

The Law of Sweetness.

A truly marginal path with no competition whatsoever.

According to Qian Wan’er herself,

She was tricked by her master’s words: “Master one law, and all laws are yours.”

There was no turning back on the path of laws.

She could only forge on blindly.

The road was narrow,

But there was no competition….

After all, who would ever think of such a law?

[Candy House]

With the sweetness welling from deep in her throat,

They were swiftly surrounded by a magnificent candy house.

The yellow earth around them transformed rapidly into chocolate.

A faint, almost invisible shield appeared near the candy house.

“Rumble…”

The earth trembled.

A gigantic dragon made entirely of enormous potatoes burst out from the ground and rubbed its body against the shield.

“Grrah!”

The frosting-like barrier instantly shattered.

But on closer inspection, one would see there were multiple layers of frosting.

One layer breaking didn’t make much difference.

“This won’t work… A single probing strike is already this strong… We’re done for!” Qian Wan’er shouted, leaning against the door.

She looked ready to bolt at any moment.

“Level 65…” Mo Qingqing let out a sigh.

Was the level gap really so hard to overcome?

On the surface, the two sides seemed evenly matched.

But in reality, the Potato Dragon was only stretching itself.

And… far above, Chili Eagles were still circling, observing the situation from the skies.

Once they were sure there was no other danger, they would immediately attack the candy house.

Moreover,

Both dragons and eagles were communal Magical Beasts.

“Ninety-four flying above, thirty-five burrowing below.” Liu Heng drew in a sharp breath.

“Don’t panic.” Mo Qingqing gently closed one eye.

[Life Return]

Streams of pure life force were instantly drawn from the bodies of these Magical Beasts.

For a moment, all kinds of roars mixed together.

Even the Chili Eagles flying in the sky plunged towards the earth.

While the Magical Beasts had yet to react, Mo Qingqing quickly gathered the life force, then took out Su Yun’s blood and seven elemental stones.

Light, darkness, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder.

Since these elements already had gods (Dominators),

There were more elemental stones available.

She also possessed far more terrifying and rare stones.

But now was not the time to use them.

“I’m trying this for the first time, so I have no idea what will happen….” In Mo Qingqing’s eyes, hidden beneath her eyelids, layers upon layers of magic circles formed.

Under her control, the elemental stones, life force, and Su Yun’s blood swiftly entangled with each other.

They repelled and attracted, clashing and mingling.

“Roar!”

A mixture of howls came from outside.

The Magical Beasts were clearly enraged.

Glowing orange-yellow chili peppers rained down from high above.

The instant they struck the shield, they exploded.

The earth trembled beneath their feet as dragons roared, attacking the underside of the barrier like a massive meat grinder.

“N-no, I can’t hold on…” Qian Wan’er’s face turned pale, her body trembling as her magic power quickly drained.

The candy house was blasted open, holes appearing.

Though it was instantly repaired, it didn’t help much.

Liu Heng was already prepared to teleport everyone back at any moment.

Su Yun had quietly come to the door, shielding the witches behind her.

This was no joke—the witches were struggling this much.

How could an ordinary person like her possibly do anything?

Mo Qingqing was still doing her best to fuse the elements.

But it was even harder than she had imagined.

After all, this was akin to creating a temporary life form.

But time waited for no one, and Qian Wan’er was clearly at her limit.

To be honest, it was already impressive that she had lasted this long.

Just as the situation was spinning out of control,

The sleeping witch let out a gentle yawn.

“Ah… ha….”

The sound was soft and soothing.

Like a pleasant sea breeze on the beach.

It was quiet.

So quiet it was as if no one had made a sound.

Yet everyone—human and Magical Beast alike—heard it.

So, all people and Magical Beasts opened their mouths in unison.

“Ha~ ah…..”
