Chapter 1077: Chapter 1047: Demon Dragon Scale
"Pitter-patter~"
Huge raindrops fell in the Demon Forest, producing a dense sound:
"Drip-drop~ Drip-drop~"
A figure, like a meteor, darted across the sky.
Lin Yi, wearing a warrior’s helmet, flew rapidly towards the location he sensed, braving the rain.
Two pairs of white feathered wings flapped behind him, like an angel descending, disappearing into a dense forest.
After passing through the dense woods, his feet landed successively on the muddy ground:
"Splash!"
Lin Yi retracted his wings and stood still, looking at the dark forest around him.
At this moment, besides the sound of the rain hitting the leaves, there was only the occasional rumble of thunder from the sky.
This area was devoid of any signs of chirping insects or birds and beasts.
After surveying the surroundings, Lin Yi removed his helmet to reveal his true appearance and spoke:
"Come out, I know you’re here."
With the helmet no longer shielding him, the rain quickly soaked Lin Yi’s long hair.
However, Lin Yi didn’t mind, brushing aside the wet hair sticking to his face with a casual gesture.
Yet, after waiting for a long time, his surroundings remained completely still.
Lin Yi, however, thought differently.
He hadn’t suddenly left Ling Yuwei and the others to come here on a whim.
It was just a moment ago.
It felt as though some force was summoning him here, and driven by curiosity, Lin Yi decided to check it out.
Lin Yi continued to address the seemingly empty forest around him:
"Did you bring me here just to hide in the shadows and watch me?"
Lin Yi suddenly said:
"I’ll count to three."
"If you still don’t come out, I’ll leave."
Seeing no movement around, Lin Yi began counting down directly:
"Three"
"Two"
...
Just as Lin Yi was about to shout ’one,’ he suddenly sensed something and turned to look in a particular direction.
He saw a figure slowly walking towards him from where there had been nothing.
Lin Yi wiped the rainwater off his face and focused on the figure.
At the same time, Katrina appeared beside Lin Yi without warning, gazing in the same direction.
A light ’huh’ escaped Katrina’s lips, making Lin Yi’s heart skip a beat.
Before Lin Yi could think further, he saw a burly man slowly approaching.
"Who are you?"
Lin Yi looked at the man with some confusion.
At the moment the man appeared, Lin Yi inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
Yet, Lin Yi had no recollection of this man at all.
So Lin Yi added another question:
"Have we met before?"
At this moment, Lin Yi didn’t notice the unusual expression that flashed across Katrina’s face upon seeing the man’s appearance.
However, upon hearing Lin Yi’s question, the man’s expression didn’t change at all and he remained cold and indifferent:
"You’re the new Spirit Summoner?"
Lin Yi was suddenly dumbfounded, staring at the man:
"You!"
He could immediately tell Lin Yi’s profession?
To know that, in the Nine Nether Continent!
While Lin Yi being a Spirit Summoner was no secret on the Rafam Continent,
he had never mentioned it to anyone on the Nine Nether Continent.
Moreover, on the Nine Nether Continent, there wasn’t even a concept of a Spirit Summoner or Arcane Attribute Magic.
Besides the unfathomably powerful Pope, Lin Yi couldn’t think of anyone else who would know about his special identity as a Spirit Summoner.
Wait!
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Lin Yi’s mind.
Lin Yi almost blurted out:
"Are you Kalsa’s Dark Demon Dragon?!"
Even though this man seemed to have nothing to do with the terrifying giant dragon,
Lin Yi was almost certain of his guess.
Back when Kalsa was framed and killed, her mount disappeared with her under Pilgrimage Peak.
It wasn’t until Dongfang Jing appeared that Lin Yi learned the Demon Dragon had gone to the Nine Nether Continent.
And this man was the one Lin Yi encountered when he was helping the Winged Race regain their territory and was thwarted by the Witch Race’s Steglin.
It was Dongfang Jing (Kalsa) who summoned that Dark Demon Dragon, enabling them to defeat the then overwhelmingly powerful Steglin.
No wonder Lin Yi felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity upon seeing him.
The man didn’t deny Lin Yi’s guess, nor did he confirm it outright but instead threw an unknown object towards Lin Yi:
"This is for you."
Lin Yi instinctively caught it.
When Lin Yi saw what had been thrown to him, he stood frozen:
"What is this?"
Katrina suddenly spoke up from the side:
"Reversed Scale."
"Reversed Scale?"
Lin Yi looked at the palm-sized black scale in his hand with surprise, then looked up at the man, shocked:
’Could this thing be the man’s Reversed Scale?’
Since in Lin Yi’s eyes at the moment, there was no information or hint displayed regarding the object.
So Lin Yi couldn’t determine its purpose or why the man was giving him this scale based on its appearance.
At this moment, a cold gleam flashed:
"Hiss~"
Lin Yi felt a pain in his finger and looked puzzledly at Katrina next to him:
"Master Aunt, you!"
But in the next moment, Lin Yi suddenly heard the system prompt:
System: "Congratulations, you have activated [Demon Dragon Scale]."
Lin Yi quickly looked at the scale in his hand, and the attribute details appeared before him:
[Demon Dragon Scale]
Special Item (Unique)
Tier: Myth
All Attributes +60%
Bound to: Lin Yi (Feng Hua)
Description: This is a [Reversed Scale] from the Dark Demon Dragon, containing immense power from within the dragon. You can use it to summon the Demon Dragon itself to fight for you.
Additional Active Skill:
[Summon Demon Dragon] Use the skill to summon the Demon Dragon itself to assist you in battle, lasting 10 minutes; Usable Times: 3
When Lin Yi saw its Additional Attributes, he was instantly stunned: ’Summon Demon Dragon!!!’
Damn!
Recalling the scene of Dongfang Jing summoning the Demon Dragon to crush Steglin, Lin Yi felt as if he had been hit by a windfall, standing there in awe.
To know that this Demon Dragon’s level was far beyond a True God (Lv85-89), nearly reaching Main Divine Level (Lv90), a super being!
And it lasted for ten minutes, which was way stronger than (Dragon God Protection).
It’s just a pity that there was a usage limit, leaving Lin Yi with a sense of something lacking despite the surprise.
When Lin Yi looked up at the man again, he had already vanished, leaving only a sentence echoing in Lin Yi’s ear:
"Be wary of the old Pope, the Nine Nether is not as simple as it seems."
The Pope!
This was the second person, besides Beast God Rek’sa, to warn him about the Pope.
Holding the iron-hard dragon scale, Lin Yi fell into deep thought:
’Why be cautious of the Pope.’
