A wisp of black Qi emerged from the snake body underground, and Herag quickly absorbed it.

After absorbing it, he glanced at the data panel, frowning: "No improvement?"

This Demon aura wasn't small, just a bit less than the Demon aura provided by the Kobold.

Normally, there should be some slight improvement, but now the data panel showed no response.

Herag carefully felt it; indeed, this Demon aura had somewhat strengthened his body, meaning it was effective, but he didn't know why the data panel didn't reflect it.

After thinking for a moment, he had a general hypothesis.

It's not that the Demon aura didn't enhance him; rather, with his current body attributes, the increase the Demon aura provided was too minimal, making it unnoticeable on the data panel.

Herag thought it might also be related to advancing to become an Official Exorcist; after becoming one, it required more Demon aura for improvement.

After slaying this large snake, he continued forward, encountering many other Demons along the way.

These Demons were relatively weak, easy for Herag to handle, almost all solved with a single swift blade stroke.

The Stone Forest's area far exceeded Herag's imagination; he traveled for two days and nights and still hadn't exited.

If Herag wasn't sure that he was going in the right direction, he would've doubted whether he was lost in the Stone Forest.

This is also the reason why the northern Baiyu City and Amy City appear adjacent but have little trade between them.

The Stone Forest area has formed a natural barrier, making it extremely difficult for ordinary people to cross this region.

Just the harsh natural conditions alone are too much for ordinary people to handle, not to mention the numerous Demons active here.

Herag looked at the simple map in his mind, speechless, as the maps here are crude, lacking any notion of scale.

The Stone Forest on the map was just represented by a few stone pillars with no other information.

Traversing the area practically, Herag felt that its size was vaster than the grand desert.

After nightfall, Herag finally planned to stop and rest for a while.

He was already far from Amy City, and if Arios hadn't died and wanted to chase him, he would've been caught up long ago.

He kicked a lizard away, took over the two stones the lizard was lying on, sat down and lit a campfire, preparing to cook some hot food.

Herag glanced at the huge object in his Space Ring; a part of the snake body took up a large portion of the Space Ring's space.

This thing couldn't be cut within the Space Ring, so Herag simply took it all out and then placed his hand on the large piece of snake meat, activating the Great Dark Heaven.

A stone slab's phantom appeared behind him as the Great Dark Heaven began to absorb the bloodline power from the snake body.

A moment later, Herag released his hand, and the stone slab phantom disappeared.

He acquired two talent abilities.

"White Fang's Eye: Can see through most camouflage effects, can beguile and control targets with lower Spiritual Power than oneself, with higher success rate the greater the power difference."

"White Fang's Shedding: Can be immune to most illusion effects, and can nullify most curses targeted at you."

Herag sighed, unable to obtain the most powerful talent ability of the White Snake.

What he wanted was the ability to make those Mountain Guards instantly burst apart once the Snake Eyes ignited.

The White Snake's Snake Eyes definitely had many abilities, and he had only obtained one of them.

Both talent abilities seem related to illusion, curses, and other negative states, so it's better than nothing.

After absorbing the bloodline power of the snake meat, Herag took out a long blade and sliced a large chunk, then put the remaining snake meat back into the Space Ring.

After washing the snake meat, he marinated it simply with some spices and then roasted it over the campfire.

Additionally, he took out some vegetables from the Space Ring, put them into a pot mixed with some marinated snake meat, and cooked a pot of snake meat soup.

Before long, the aroma spread, making one's mouth water.

Herag opened the pot lid and directly took a piece of snake meat out with his hand and put it in his mouth.

The texture was excellent, worthy of being from the big White Snake; it was simply a delicacy.

Herag quickly finished the pot of snake meat soup and the roasted snake meat, replenishing some energy.

He didn't plan to continue traveling tonight, intending to find a place to enter the Fallen Wings for the night to rest.

Herag looked around and walked forward for a while, arriving at a very concealed place.

As he was about to release the Fallen Wings, he suddenly noticed a ripple in the Space ahead.

Herag immediately became vigilant; he knew what this implied.

Looking closely, he saw two men appearing abruptly in front of a cliff ahead, both wearing robes.

The style of the robes looked very familiar to him, so he didn't act immediately.

While Herag was attentively watching these two, to his surprise, the other party initiated a greeting, speaking in the common Sivir Language of the Wizard World: "Herag?"

"You are..." Herag was taken aback, not expecting the other party to call his name directly.

"It is indeed you; your magic form is very recognizable. Finally, another wizard part of the Cradle Operation has been found," said a plump-faced wizard, whose body wasn't fat but had a bit of flesh on his face.

He smiled at Herag and said, "I'm Tony, this is Yordan, and we are both members of the Expedition Team. Originally, we were conducting survey work in this Demon Plane, but after the Cradle Operation incident, we received a new mission to find the whereabouts of you wizards involved in the Cradle Operation."

Herag didn't trust them outright and asked, "How can you prove it?"

Tony nodded, took out a Talisman Stone, and displayed his personal information interface in front of Herag.

Though at a distance, Herag's eyesight was good enough to clearly see the content on the Talisman Stone at a glance.

With this, it was almost certain; Herag nodded and said, "Indeed, I am Herag. I didn't expect to meet you here. I was just wondering how to contact you."

Tony said, "How did you know that there are members of our Expedition Team in this Plane?"

"I just did some analysis and guessed it might be the case," Herag explained his prior thoughts.

Tony nodded and said, "That's right, just as you guessed. When the transmission coordinates were activated, they became the coordinates of the Demon Plane. We don't know much about the Demon Plane as it was just recently explored and is still in the initial investigation stage."
