Chapter 547 (1/2)

Did we really run into the boss of the Wind Dragon Domain this soon?

I stepped forward only to realize that the dragon's shadow was growing bigger and bigger. It was clearly flying toward us. ”Watch out! The giant dragon's flying our way!”

Shocked, everyone readied their weapons and looked primed to act at any moment.

However, Beiming Xue suddenly said, ”I think that's an NPC, not a boss…”

……

Swhoos.h.!.+

The giant dragon circling above our heads landed on the ground in the blink of an eye. It really was as NPC as Beiming Xue said, an NPC that we all recognized no less. It was Green Dragon Knight Tia, one of the five Dragon Knights who served Princess Karinshan.

I couldn't help but walk up to the dragon knight and ask, ”Why are you here, Tia?”

Tia frowned slightly. ”Princess Karinshan is worried that the unearthing of the Nine Lost Dragon Domains is a letter of challenge from h.e.l.l, so she sent me over to investigate everything. However, not only are these giant dragons far less dangerous than I initially thought they might be, their memories are still stuck in the era of hundred thousand years ago. They haven't even heard of the Dragon Domain, the Dragon Speaker, the alliance between humans and dragons, and most certainly not of the Dragon Knights.”

Tia exhaled slightly before continuing, ”These arrogant ancient dragons look down on us. They even believe themselves to be the G.o.ds of the continent, and that they should rule over everything! If it wasn't certain before if our warriors should attack this place and kill these ancient beasts who dream of invading the human world, it is now!”

I nodded in agreement. ”Mn.”

Tia climbed onto the back of her dragon and said, ”I'm going back. Princess Karinshan is still waiting for my report. By the way, the princess will reward you herself if you can collect all nine dragon scales!”

”Got it!”

After the conversation was over, Tia and the green dragon took to the air and vanished from the horizon in the blink of an eye. I was a bit worried, to be honest. Is it just me, or did she fly away a bit too quickly? Could it be that the boss of the B9 floor is extremely powerful, and Tia didn't want to clash against it?

……

”Well, let's continue killing the Wind Eagles. We'll decide what to do with this new info after we've farmed all the necessary B9 floor teleportation scrolls!” I told everyone.

Li Chengfeng nodded. ”Got it!”

We spread out again and went back to the grind. The valley was filled with Wind Eagles, and we were hardly the only party who was farming at this place. Small groups of players that didn't belong to Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls were starting to appear at the distance, and many of them were powerful parties from powerful guilds, such as the ten top guilds of Vanished G.o.d City.

We grinded for a while, but we didn't find a teleportation scroll.

He Yi cut down a Wind Eagle and commented right after, ”It's quiet. Candle Dragon is silent, Warsky Alliance is doing G.o.d knows what, and Snowy Cathaya is grinding far away from us…”

I checked the time and noted that it was very late in the night. Before we knew it, it had been 16 hours since we ate or drank anything.

Murong Mingyue put a hand on her belly. ”Forget about Candle Dragon, can we please log out temporarily and eat something? I'm so hungry…”

He Yi nodded with a smile. ”Sure, let's do this one party at a time. Li Chengfeng, you and your party will log out first. Please settle everything in ten minutes, and don't accidentally teleport back to the city when you log back in. You won't be able to come back here.”

Li Chengfeng replied, ”It's fine, I can still hold on a little longer…”

I shot him down expressionlessly. ”You can, but what about your party members?”

As expected, the female members in Li Chengfeng's party asked with clenched fists and an aggrieved expression, ”Party leader, we want to log out, we want to go to the toilet…”

Xu Yang laughed. ”Chengfeng is such a brute. He doesn't know how to care for women at all.”

Gui Guzi nodded in agreement.

Left with no choice, Li Chengfeng relented and ordered his party to log out, settle whatever they needed to do in real life, and return ten minutes later. One way or another, we had to clear this map before anyone else. It would be a huge loss otherwise.

……

Finally, I managed to grind the first teleportation scroll to the B9 floor. However, I didn't go right away because we still hadn't found the boss of the B8 floor yet.

The B9 floor teleportation scroll was unique in that it couldn't be traded, so I instantly lost the motivation to kill the Wind Eagles like my life depended on it. I let High Fighting Spirits and Chaos Moon do all the hard work while I took it easy under the protection of several cute priests. Hmm, now that I think about it, my arena ranking had dropped to third place because I hadn't fought any arena battle for the past couple days. Let me fight a couple of 1v1s...

Unfortunately, there were no worthy opponents in the compet.i.tive arena. For 11 fights in a row, all the opponents I encountered could basically be taken out with a Sword Boomerang and Dragon Slaying Slash in 15 seconds. Well, I should've expected this. Everyone who could threaten me such as Luo River G.o.d of the Capital, Lin Yixin, Candlelight Shadow, and so on were currently busy clearing the Nine Lost Dragon Domains. I was probably the only slacker who took some time off at the compet.i.tive arena.

Suddenly, Chaos Moon said, ”f.u.c.k! Lu Chen, come back now. Someone's coming our way…”

I hurriedly backed out of the compet.i.tive arena and turned around to take a look. As she said, a group of high-level players wearing the emblem of Vanished G.o.d City were walking toward us. They were all from the same guild, and their leader was a bright, cute girl in mage robes. She was none other than the highest-level mage in China besides Luo River G.o.d of the Capital and G.o.d's Dance—Stranger of Three Lifetimes!

Now that I think about it, it was funny that almost all of China's top mages were female. Maybe it was because they were more meticulous and thus had an easier time grasping the key of long-range positioning and ranged attacks? At any rate, their male counterpart, Dominating Mage G.o.d, was a walking tragedy. The poor b.a.s.t.a.r.d was getting killed everyday like it was the most normal thing in the world.
