Chapter 486: Chapter 264: The Might of the Black Dragon, Rescuing the Young Gourd_3
Being able to add top-tier players to my book list would make this trip worthwhile.
Shangguan Yu suggested holding a "victory party" in the evening with great joy. However, Lin Xun had no intention of participating, making the excuse that he had plans for the evening.
Since even the main character hadn’t attended the dinner, they all decided to let it go. Under the arrangements of Li Xingyue, they each returned to the hotel to continue their conquest of the Easter Eggs Chapter the next day.
Lin Xun hurried back to the rented house, enjoyed the dinner cooked by the Valkyrie, and then began to continue advancing in the game.
Although handling the three waves of Heavenly Demons today was quite relaxed, they couldn’t afford to let their guard down for the defenses in the next two days.
The monsters of the Heavenly Demons’ main force increased dramatically to over three hundred after the annihilation of the vanguard troops.
The increase in numbers was just one aspect. After the main forces appeared, there would be Heavenly Demon leaders.
The previous team wiped out was because of this and they didn’t have time to eradicate all the small monsters before the Heavenly Demon leaders appeared.
Under the assault of the boss and the little monsters, once one fairy palace fell, the remaining ones would trigger a chain reaction.
The third wave of Heavenly Demons was stronger than the previous wave, and based on this rate, by the last day of defense, the strength of the Heavenly Demons would reach a terrifying level.
"Luckily the female boss didn’t randomly recruit members into the team. Otherwise, even with me, I’m afraid I would be overwhelmed and lose somewhere, leading to the fall of the fairy palace."
There are still two opportunities left to cultivate the Dragon Seed with the ’Rainbow Scale of the Mirage Dragon.’
Lin Xun decided to use up the two opportunities after taming the ’young Sly Ghost.’
He rushed towards the gold hall where numerous monsters were imprisoned after teleporting back to the Five-tiered Pagoda of the Dharma Temple.
It was already evening, and the Dharma Temple was no longer open to the public. The visitors had left long ago.
[You stride forward and slowly push open the door of the Gold Hall...]
[The wooden door creaks, allowing a ray of moonlight in through the door and into the Gold Hall.]
[Rows of iron cages stand on both sides of the Gold Hall, stretching deep into the hall.]
[Various monsters are imprisoned in the cages, all as emaciated and bruised as before.]
[Your arrival wakes up the sleeping monsters, with a cacophony of noise flooding into your ears...]
[...The demon has come back!]
[Shut up, what demon? It’s Lord Dragon Seed!]
[Yes, yes, Yes! Lord Dragon Seed came to rescue us!]
[...]
[You ignore the excited cheers of the monsters and approach the cage closest to the Chaos Origin Dragon statue...]
[The young boy in the cage has whip marks all over his body and is covered in bloody wounds, but there is not a trace of pain on his handsome face. Instead, there is hope as he asks you if his grandfather has been rescued.]
[How should you answer this young Sly Ghost’s question?]
[1. Its grandfather ’Heavenly Demon Sly Ghost’ betrayed the Dragon God and wanted to become a deity. You executed it on behalf of the Dragon God’s will. Don’t worry, its grandfather died peacefully, there’s no need to worry.
[2. The defense at the Wuzhi Shrine was too strong. Despite your best efforts, you couldn’t rescue its grandfather and had to return here. You want him to leave the Dharma Temple and lend you a hand.]
[3. You successfully rescued its grandfather, but he sadly sacrificed himself on the escape route from the Shrine. Before he died, he entrusted you with the task of rescuing his grandson, and gifted you the clan’s inherited magical artifact.]
The third option would only appear as an extra choice after obtaining the special item ’Life Soul Bead of the Heavenly Demon Sly Ghost’.
Full of confidence, Lin Xun selected the third option.
[You recount to the ’Young Sly Ghost’ about the many hardships you underwent to rescue his grandfather. The numerous chase and threats you faced on the escape route, and the countless times you clung to life.]
[Regrettably, there were too many followers of the new god, and they were too powerful. You intended to die to cover their escape, but didn’t expect the famous Castle Tower Lord of the town to suddenly lead an army over...]
[Now, his grandfather...]
[At this point, you’re choked with emotion and take out a dark green bead artifact— the ’Life Soul Bead of the Heavenly Demon Sly Ghost’].
[Upon hearing this, the ’Young Sly Ghost’ is dumbfounded, frozen in place as tears of blood gush from his eyes.]
[He falls weakly to the floor, as if he’s lost all hope of surviving.]
[This ’Young Sly Ghost’ has been locked up here for many years, enduring countless humiliations from humans. The only hope that allowed him to keep going was his grandfather.]
[Now, hearing his grandfather was brutally slain by humans, he’s like a puppet whose strings have been cut, his eyes filled with deathly despair.]
[You call out to him twice, but seeing no response, you flare up in anger.]
[You reach out, grab his collar through the iron bars of the cage, and lift him up.]
[You angrily shout that his grandfather sacrificed himself to escape the Shrine, all for the sake of rescuing his grandson. Now, when you risk your life to re-enter the Dharma Temple as entrusted by his grandfather, you only rescue a walking corpse...you feel that it was not worth it for his grandfather!]
[The ’Young Sly Ghost’ offers no reaction, even after your rebuke, he remains indifferent. He even closes his eyes, shutting himself off from the world.]
[Seeing this, you coldly chuckle, throw the ’Young Sly Ghost’ down again, and turn to leave...]
[As you walk away, you curse. What a waste! The Castle Tower Lord, who had killed his grandfather, lives freely, while he, the last of the Sly Ghost clan, hides cowardly here.]
[If that’s the case, then you’ll go to Castle Tower alone and assassinate the Lord for the sake of his grandfather’s revenge, even if it costs you your life, you’ll die without regret!]
[Just as you’re about to leave the Gold Hall, from the depths of the temple behind you, you hear the ’Young Sly Ghost’s words of desperation]
[If ’Lord Dragon Seed’ would take him to Castle Tower for revenge, he would fully dedicate himself, and serve you forever. From then on, he’d take any order from you.]
[If he breaks this oath, may he be annihilated!]
[You turn back, and although the depths of the Gold Hall are dark and unlit, you can see the two burning desires for ’revenge’ in the piercing gaze, as if ready to shatter the cage’s chain!]
