Chapter 318: Chapter 196: Endpoint Incident, Ancestral Dragonification_2
This Chapter, with its hell-level difficulty, has an insane game process. It’s only normal that they give you a gift at the end of each section.
But... but the big BOSS of the ’Almighty True Knowledge’ was already taken out by Lin Xun due to a fluke.
The strength of the ’Mist Barrier Monster Overlord’ needless to say, were it not for the stroke of luck, Lin Xun could not beat the Overlord BOSS.
If he was to face a powerful end-of-stage BOSS like the ’Mist Barrier Monster Overlord’ alone, it would more than likely lead to his death.
Lin Xun frowned deeply.
He suddenly thought of the ’Overlord’s Calling Eye’ and instantly realized something.
In the original game process, even if he unexpectedly took out the ’Mist Barrier Monster Overlord’, he could still use the ’Overlord’s Calling Eye’ to take on end-of-stage BOSS.
He started doubting that the strength of the ’Astral Corpse Sacred Beast’ might surpass the Monster Overlord slightly, and that the ’White Dwarf Star Potion’ probably had to be used on the ’Astral Corpse Sacred Beast’.
"The game still leaves me with a lifeline, but I have wasted it..."
For a while, he found this rather ironic. The ’Star Spirit Hall’ wasn’t even a place where Apostles of Omniscience could enter. The fight with the ’Legendary Star Spirit’ was additional content, and using the ’Overlord’s Calling Eye’ was a complete accident.
Lin Xun carefully read the text in the letter, trying to find clues from the brief two sentences.
The anonymous letter was sent by some unknown secret organization.
However, based on the tone in the message and the name ’Astral Corpse Sacred Beast’, the secret organization must belong to the ’Bright Stars’ faction.
As the letter was delivered to the Multivision Association, it was rather obvious who the recipient was.
Lin Xun speculated that the secret organization of the Bright Stars that the Multivision president had joined was likely connected to the subsequent content of this volume, and this Chapter could only give a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.
He suddenly noticed that the ’Astral Corpse Sacred Beast’ was here to ’recover’ the Divinity from the Monster Overlord.
The word ’recover’ used by the sender stirred some thoughts in Lin Xun’s mind.
He was puzzled that when he killed ordinary monsters, they would drop Divinity items, but the Monster Overlord didn’t drop any Divinity when he killed it. He thought his bad luck had hit him with a rare event.
But upon seeing the word ’recover’ in the letter, he started to understand...
"Perhaps, one needs a specific method to acquire the Divinity from the Monster Overlord."
Lin Xun shook his head, feeling regretful.
Even if he could now find the ’Ten Monster Overlord Slaughter Array’ battlefield in the mist, the Monster Overlord’s corpse would have long disappeared.
"It seems I have no choice but to take on the final BOSS directly, hoping the gains from Hermit Canyon can give me a huge boost in strength."
Lin Xun chose not to reply to the letter. He sent Bennett back to the ’Eye Lab’ on the second floor.
He then settled down next to the Rest Page and started on the ’Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’ evolution journey...
[You take out a ’Black Luminous Poisonous Mineral Stone’ (Ordinary Level) and place it into your mouth, urging ’Hermit Bloodline Extraction Technique’ to extract the faint bloodline from it...]
[Extraction in progress...]
"As long as I don’t die again, five days should be enough for me to conquer Hermit Canyon."
The Little Dragon was absorbing the minerals at a not-so-slow speed, much faster than absorbing Excellent Level minerals.
With ’Rest Page’ by his side offering unlimited health replenishment, he had no worries about the Little Dragon dying from poisoning.
In a short while, the quantity of mineral stones in the inventory decreased at a visibly fast pace.
As Lin Xun continued to select the options, the whole thing began to feel boring.
Suddenly, he lit up and materialized the ’Refined Copper Sand Hammer’ in his hands.
Along with the ringing of the sand hammer, a golden-haired young girl in a kimono walked over.
Looking at the docile Valkyrie, Lin Xun started executing his sneaky (tou) and wicked (lan) plan.
"Come here, do as I do. First, select this option, then this one."
"When the game shows the ’out of blood’ message, just click on the Rest Page, understood?"
The Valkyrie shook her head in confusion, indicating that she couldn’t see the content on the phone screen.
Lin Xun slapped his forehead, forgetting about that part.
With his plan to slack off failing, he could only send the Valkyrie to the kitchen to prepare snacks, and then continue his boring evolution journey.
...
When daylight began to break, the Little Dragon finally succeeded in his evolution.
[Extraction in progress...]
[Extraction complete, your bloodline strength sees a minor enhancement!]
[Your bloodline strength has reached the critical point...]
[You feel a sharp pain all over your body, your skin itches unbearably, and scales begin to grow on your skin and on the top of your head...]
[You endure the severe pain of bloodline elevation.]
[...]
[Your shell ’Up-Looking Mixed-Blood Half-Dragon’ has been promoted to ’Up-Looking Pure-blood Half-Dragon’!]
[Your body is more towering, powerful muscles hid under the scales spread all over your body, the horns on your head are even more thick, and the claws on your limbs and the fangs in your mouth have become sharper.]
Lin Chen took a long breath, feeling like the torment had finally ended.
Not all the ores in the item bar were used up, more than two hundred Excellent Level ores were left, and not even a single Rare Level ore was used.
There was still room for the Little Dragon to rise, but to further advance bloodline, the ores in the item bar are far from enough.
Critical with the current raiding time, Lin Xun dared not delay and hurried to the ’Hermit Canyon’.
He checked the shell panel of Little Dragon on the carriage.
The quality of its shell has risen to Rare Level, and the level and skill quality have slightly improved.
What surprised Lin Xun even more was that the pure-blooded Little Dragon had acquired a new skill.
[’Ancestral Dragonification’ (Rare Level Skill): The power of the pure-blooded Half-Dragon’s bloodline has taken a qualitative leap, awakening a trace of ancestral power dormant in the bloodline.]
[Using this skill, you will be able to Ancestral Dragonify for a brief period of time at the cost of life fading.]
Lin Xun’s eyes widened.
Ancestral Dragonification! He could transform into a dragon!
But when he saw the skill’s quality as ’Rare Level’, he dismissed this impractical thought.
If a Rare Level skill could transform him into a dragon, the Hermit descendants would be invincible. There would be no need for them to ally with the ’Bright Stars’.
The ’Ancestral Dragonification’ at this stage can only transform him into a giant lizard at most, it’s still a long way to evolve into a dragon.
Reflecting on this, Lin Xun noticed something wrong.
"No, I came here for the inheritance of the Dragon Knight, that is, I came to ride a dragon."
"If it goes on like this, what dragon will I ride, I... hell, I’ll be a dragon myself."
The carriage left the town and headed for the distant canyon.
Lin Xun, having worked all night, was not tired. After his talent had been upgraded, staying up all night had little effect on him. Even if he didn’t sleep for several days, he could still maintain his vitality.
He put away his phone and let the carriage continue towards its destination.
...
[You stepped into the Hermit Canyon under the warm light of the early morning sun with your stealth state on...]
It was the second morning now, after a full day and night of anti-addiction, Lin Xun finally returned to the Hermit Canyon.
[The canyon, compared to what you saw last time, has more rigorous security. The slaves were wearing leather armor one by one, holding spears, patrolling relentlessly within the canyon.]
[You quietly approached a team of mining slaves and eavesdropped on their conversation...]
[Several supervisors have mysteriously disappeared, and the ores that should have been handed in to the Dragon Nest have also vanished, which made the masters in the Dragon Nest furious.]
[An order came from the Dragon Nest, mining was to be suspended for three days. If the two mixed-blood half-dragons who murdered the supervisors were not caught, all the mine slaves would be severely punished...]
[From their conversation, you heard no joy from the mining slaves at the three-day work suspension, they had been cursing the audacious creatures.]
[Are you going to kill these foul-mouthed mining slaves or simply forgive them and proceed to the Dragon Nest?]
The little dragons were all walking experiences. If it wasn’t for the fact that Lin Xun had to infiltrate the Dragon Nest and couldn’t raise too much noise, he definitely would’ve taken these experiences.
"Wait until I complete the map raid, none of you will be able to escape."
[You left the still swearing mining slaves behind, maintaining the stealth state, walking towards the depth of the canyon...]
[...]
[As you approach the Dragon Nest, there are fewer and fewer guards patrolling around.]
[When the huge Dragon Nest building was only a hundred meters away, there was no one on the road, you were the only one walking on this sacred road.]
[That overwhelming invisible pressure came back again, making it difficult for you to step forward.]
[You knew that with this shell, you could not enter the Dragon Nest...]
[You have possessed the shell of the ’Up-Looking Pure-blood Half-Dragon’!]
[The surrounding pressure suddenly decreased, and although there was still some resistance to hinder you, entering the Dragon Nest was not an unreachable dream for you.]
[You stepped forward firmly...]
