Chapter 307: Chapter 193: The Sacred Dragon Nest, The Half-Dragon Man’s Plan_1
[Do you want to follow the instinct of the body and go mining at the sound of the gathering bell?]
To mine or not to mine, that is the question.
Seeing the attributes of the Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon so skewed, Lin Xun would typically eliminate the entire half-dragon race without mercy or exception.
However, upon further thought, would the path of inheritance for the ’Dark Dragon Knight’ be so simple?
Lin Xun noticed that the Little Dragon he was now possessing was a lowly mine slave with the most inferior bloodline.
This implies that there must be stronger beings within the half-dragon race and rashly charging forward could be imprudent.
Moreover, the punishment of 24-hour death-induced gaming restrictions made him tread carefully.
"Mining it is, after all, it’s not me who’s tired, right Little Dragon?"
[You step out of the cave, followed by many dust-covered, naked Mixed-Blood Half-Dragons]
[You carefully observe these half-dragons and find that they, like you, look dull and adrift, clearly oppressed by the exhausting mining work.]
[You follow the half-dragons towards the depths of the canyon...]
[Soon, the Half-Dragons halt, and you tiptoe to look ahead...]
[On the pitch-black stone platform, sits a half-dragon unlike the others.]
[Unlike you, it’s not naked and dirty but dressed in delicate and luxurious robes. From its exposed neck and limbs, you see mottled dark scales, albeit not covering the entire body, but in scattered patches...]
[You have discovered the ’Descendant of the Hidden Ones - Up-looking Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’]
[It claps its claws and roars loudly...]
[You lowly miners, just look at the junk you’ve dug up!]
[The great ones in the Dragon Nest are very unsatisfied with the recent mining efficiency. If you don’t mine high-purity Dark Glow Poison Stone today, everyone will be punished!]
[Now, immediately, get rolling to the mines!]
[The ’Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’ gives a ruthless swipe of its claw, its fangs fully exposed.]
[The word ’punishment’ sends a chill down your spine, recalling gory and painful memories.]
[You involuntarily quicken your pace and continue deeper into the canyon with the team of Half-Dragon miners.]
Upon choosing mining, Lin Xun indeed obtained some critical information as expected.
The ’Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’ was clearly a higher-ranking Dragon Man. From its words, it seemed clear the mining slaves worked to fulfill the demands of the ’Great Ones in the Dragon Nest’.
[Soon, you follow the team to the destination - the mine]
[Your gaze goes beyond the mine pit, towards the grand structure erected deep in the canyon, built with pitch-black ore...a giant nest.]
[The sacred place for all Half-Dragons - The Dragon Nest!]
[An involuntary longing wells up in your heart for the bountiful and prosperous holy land.]
[You look around, the mining slaves one by one enter the mine, while you are hidden behind a large tree, unnoticed by anyone.]
[Do you want to secretly avoid the many miners and head towards the Dragon’s Nest?]
"Mine...pah, I’m not a mining slave, how about a sneak peek at the Dragon’s Nest first?"
Lin Xun’s eyes light up.
However, he doesn’t act rashly but turns on invisibility by switching to the Shell of the Dancer.
[You hide behind the big tree, open a pair of dim eyes, and start your graceful steps...]
[You maintain your invisibility, going around the long lines of miners, and step closer to the depths of the canyon...]
[The road to the Dragon Nest is deserted. Only you walk alone on this pilgrimage route.]
[As you keep marching, the dark giant nest gets closer, and you are increasingly amazed at the scale of the structure.]
[To your surprise, you start to feel an invisible pressure as you get closer to the building.]
[This intense pressure slows your steps; gradually, you even find it hard to lift your feet and move forward.]
[At this point, you are still a hundred meters away from the structure.]
[The powerful pressure feels familiar; you recall the scene in ’Dark Dragon Knight’s’ memory when you faced the ’Ancient Black Dragon’.]
[You realize you can’t proceed any further. The holy Dragon Nest only accepts descendants of pure bloodlines; trespassing by others is a violation of its sanctity.]
"...descendants of pure bloodlines, can the Little Dragon go in?"
Lin Xun thinks of switching back to the Shell of the Little Dragon, yet he fears being detected upon reverting.
After slight hesitation, he clenches his teeth and switches Shells.
[You have possessed the Shell of the ’Up-looking Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’!]
[You feel relief from the invisible pressure, allowing you to breathe, you continue striding forward on the deserted road...]
[However, after only a few steps, the pressure intensifies again, and before reaching the Dragon Nest, you fall to the ground, unable to move forward.]
[Do you want to return to the mine?]
"This damned game, you played me again!"
Lin Xun grits his teeth angrily, but there’s nothing he can do.
According to the description, only descendants with pure bloodlines can enter here.
’Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’ clearly doesn’t meet the criteria, yet that ’Half-Blood Half-Dragon’ from earlier seems promising.
He squints his eyes, thinking.
Soon, he clicks on the option, returning to the mine in invisibility mode.
[Most of the Half-Dragon miners have already entered the pitch-black mine pit, with just a few lining up to go in.]
[You look towards the dark stone platform in the distance, but the ’Half-Blood Half-Dragon’ supervisor is nowhere to be seen.]
