After Lin Xun cleared three sections of corridor, the hellish game delivered a prompt.
[The number of enemies you have killed has reached the breakthrough point. The accumulated Demon-Banishment Merit has reached the critical value!]
[Your Shell, Desire-Bearing Greedy Wolf Star Lord, has had its skill, Star Commander Spirit Pivot Demon-Banishment Grand Art, increase in skill quality due to overflowing Demon-Banishment Merit!]
[Star Commander Spirit Pivot Demon-Banishment Grand Art has increased from legendary+ grade to mythic grade!]
[The Shell Quality of Desire-Bearing Greedy Wolf Star Lord increases together with this skill, increasing to mythic grade!]
[Due to the Compatibility bonus from your soul authority, Chaos Authority, this Shell’s Compatibility exceeds 100%. Shell Quality has increased to mythic+ grade!]
Lin Xun’s spirits lifted, then he could not help grumbling, “The Greedy Wolf Star Lord’s advancement is really slow.”
There were many monsters in the corridor, and both the monsters’ quality and level surpassed monsters outside by a large margin. Even so, Greedy Wolf Star Lord had still needed to farm more than one thousand monsters before advancing.
As Greedy Wolf Star Lord’s quality advanced, its Shell Skill, North Pole Dark Heaven Final Kalpa Demon-Sweeping Sword Technique, also unlocked the next layer of sword technique.
Lin Xun took a deep breath and decided to properly farm monsters here to improve. Ideally, he could raise Greedy Wolf Star Lord’s Shell Quality even higher than the Child of Evil’s…

[As the flesh membrane splits open from the middle, revealing a passage that allows entry and exit, it also reveals the next section of Scale-Vein Corridor.]
[Your heart startles. The scene before your eyes is no longer the unchanging corridor, but a vast and enormous courtyard!]
[You have stepped into Dragon Claw Courtyard!]
[A huge dragon claw tightly grasps a courtyard whose scale is comparable to an ancient city square!]
[The dragon claw is as thick as a heaven-supporting pillar. The textures on it are vivid and lifelike, and huge dragon scales overlap layer upon layer, emitting a cold metallic luster.]
[The blood-colored Dragon Vein River still extends to the other end of the courtyard at the limit of your sight, as if piercing through the entire Origin Dragon Divine Palace.]
[There are no monsters here, but the Dragon Vein River here is several times wider than what you saw before. A huge shadow seems to be swimming within the blood-red river water.]
[By the riverbank stands a man in green clothes wearing a bamboo hat, quietly fishing with a fishing rod in hand.]
[You frown. In a place like the Origin Dragon Divine Palace, which has already been contaminated and is crawling with monsters, the appearance of a normal human man is itself an extremely abnormal matter.]
[Your entire body is on guard. You grip the dragon spear in your hand tightly and slowly approach the green-clothed man…]
[It glances at you, then smiles and waves to you, saying, this brother, the thing it is fishing for is a rare wonder of the world. If you are interested, you might as well come over and take a look.]
[As the saying goes, those who see it get a share. If it can fish up this object, then benefiting you and sharing its profit would not be impossible.]
The moment Lin Xun saw this situation, he knew this was most likely some kind of special event.
[You do not lower your guard and carefully come to the green-clothed man’s side…]
[The man lets out a long sigh and says, the so-called way of angling is no easy matter.]
[It sits quietly by the river from time to time, morning and evening alternating, yet gains nothing all day. In the mortal world, this is called being air force.]
[Fish are cunning, swallowing bait without leaving a trace. Hook and line hang empty, missing again and again, truly making one sigh endlessly.]
[Even with every kind of patience and a thousand varieties of skill, one can still hardly avoid moments when fish traces are hard to find…]
[The green-clothed man speaks to you at length like an old friend, describing how difficult the way of angling is.]
[After chattering for a very long time, it finally remembers the proper matter. With an excited yet solemn expression, it says to you, brother, do you know what it is fishing for today?]
[The green-clothed man points at the huge shadow in the blood river, of which only a scale and half a claw can be faintly seen.]
[Seeing you shake your head, it says with somewhat excited expression, the thing it is fishing for is no ordinary object, but the child of Chaotic Origin Dragon, named Chiwen!]
[According to ancient records: Chiwen’s form is rather strange and wondrous, possessing both the majesty of the dragon race and the agility of the fish race. It raises its head and gazes afar, its twin horns lofty and rugged, with chaotic qi swirling endlessly around them, like a brilliant river of stars, captivating the soul.]
[Its body is covered in dragon scales, with a dragon head and fish body, and carries a great dorsal fin on its back, broad and outstretched. It needs only to flap its fin once to soar through the cloud seas of the nine heavens and roam through the four seas and eight wildernesses…]
[The more it speaks, the more excited it becomes, but just as it reaches the height of its enthusiasm, it suddenly lets out a long sigh…]
[Its luck today is extremely good, and it has finally waited until Chiwen, which is rarely seen once in a thousand years, appears. Unfortunately, its angling technique is poor, and it has been unable to fish up the dragon child Chiwen.]
[If brother also understands the way of angling, why not try in its place? It can see that brother is someone bearing great Luck Value. Perhaps you can make Chiwen take the bait!]
[Without waiting for you to refuse, the green-clothed man stuffs the fishing rod into your hands, saying with slight pride that the fishing gear held in its hands is truly no ordinary object, but was specially forged for this occasion of fishing up dragon child Chiwen.]
[This fishing rod is neither bamboo nor wood, but taken from the remains of a thousand-year ancient dragon. After being meticulously polished by a skilled artisan, it was infused with supreme magic power, making its texture tough, while also remotely resonating with the source bloodline of the target, Chiwen.]
[As for the fishing line, it is made from invisible golden threads woven by a Daoist immortal. It has tremendous toughness, can withstand Chiwen’s violent struggle, and can also ensure that it cannot detect it.]
[As for the bait, it is gathered from a rare pearl of the Eastern Black Sea. Its fragrance is mellow and enticing, enough to arouse Chiwen’s greedy appetite.]
[Such extraordinary fishing gear carries its firm belief and endless wisdom in fishing up Chiwen. Now that brother holds the rod, you will certainly be able to lure Chiwen into taking the bait!]
[You have obtained Thousand-Year Dragon Bone Fishing Rod (Special Item)!]
[Just as you receive the fishing rod, you see that the huge and terrifying shadow in the river seems to move slightly. However, the Dragon Vein River in the courtyard is extremely deep, and no one knows how deep that giant creature is at the bottom of the river. Even when the giant creature slightly swings its tail, it does not stir up huge wind and waves.]
[Seeing that you do not seem to understand angling techniques very well, the green-clothed man is not disappointed or disdainful. It begins guiding you step by step on how to fish.]
[But after assisting you in fishing for a very long time, the huge creature at the bottom of the river shows no movement again.]
[The green-clothed man sighs helplessly and says, Chiwen only appears once every thousand years. If this dragon child cannot be fished up today, I’m afraid there will hardly be another chance in the future.]
[Since that is the case, only the final plan remains. Let us treat a dead horse as a living horse and try to cure it!]
[As the man speaks, he takes off his bamboo hat, loosens his robe, and removes his green outer robe and trousers…]
[You ask in puzzlement what it is doing.]
[Without raising its head, the green-clothed man replies that the rare pearl of the Eastern Black Sea cannot lure Chiwen into taking the bait. With things as they are, only using a human as bait remains.]
[Brother, please wait a moment. When the fish takes the bait later, you must not forget to cut it out and save it from the fish’s belly.]
[As it speaks, the green-clothed man strips completely naked and leaps into the blood-red river water…]
[Only after it takes off the bamboo hat and removes all clothing do you clearly see the man’s true appearance. It is not a real, tangible person, but a nearly solidified divine soul!]
[The man jumps into the blood river like a small stone falling into a lake. Other than stirring up faint ripples, there is no other movement.]
[Suddenly, the terrifying giant creature in the river moves!]
[The originally calm blood-red river water suddenly surges into towering waves. Even the huge waves stirred up by storms on the Black Sea are not this terrifying and vast!]
[Your wrist sinks, and you immediately feel that a giant creature has bitten the bait and taken the hook!]
[But before you can exert strength, you see a huge and terrifying dragon head surface from the water. Blood-red river water drips down along the dragon head, and beneath the dragon head is an enormous fish body covered in fish scales. Its dorsal fin is even broader than the sails of an ocean-going giant ship.]
[A pair of huge, pitch-black dragon eyes, each as large as a carriage, stare fixedly at you!]
[Sky-flooding black malice qi rises into the heavens as the giant creature surfaces!]
[The dragon head opens its bloody maw, revealing sharp fangs, and the green-clothed man’s voice comes from within its mouth…]
[Brother, Chiwen has already swallowed the bait and taken the hook. You must contest strength with Him and win before you can obtain a bountiful catch!]
[You have discovered Dragon Child Chiwen!]
