Chapter 868 - New Flying Mount! Spectre Dragon! (1/2)

Nie Yan and Xie Yao walked into the pet shop. There were only a few customers browsing around.

10 Beast Tamers were in the middle of feeding the pets. Nie Yan approached the one at the front. It was Collinson, the same NPC who had helped him hatch the Darkwing Dragon.

“Hello, Beast Tamer Collinson,” Nie Yan greeted.

Collinson turned around in surprise. “Oh Great Prophet, how can I help you?”

Nie Yan noticed that Collinson’s attitude was much more respectful than last time they met.

“It’s like this. My Darkwing Dragon died in battle. I’m wondering if you can help me revive it?” Nie Yan asked. With his Great Prophet title, he no longer needed to humble himself in front of NPCs. They would help him either way.

“Did you bring its corpse?”

“Yes.” Nie Yan nodded.

“Apart from its corpse, I also require a Wish Crystal, Resurrection Crystal, or a similar catalyst to help you revive the Darkwing Dragon,” Collinson replied.

“I have a Resurrection Crystal,” Nie Yan replied. He took out the Resurrection Crystal from his bag. The black crystal sparkled with a dazzling splendor.

Collinson’s eyes were immediately glued to the Resurrection Crystal. He muttered in astonishment, “T-that’s a black Resurrection Crystal!”

“They come in different colours?” Xie Yao couldn’t help but interject.

“Of course. Yes. All crystals are divided into separate colours. Every colour has a special characteristic. You don’t see many black ones, though. They usually only appear in the underworld. A powerful darkness energy is contained within them. If it’s used to revive a pet or flying mount of the darkness attribute, it will have some additional effects. It might even raise their growth rate,” Collinson explained.

Nie Yan raised an eyebrow. He’d bought this Resurrection Crystal from an NPC called Cranston, along with an Arcane Gem and Mysterious Black Egg for 900,000 gold in total. It’d been so long ago, he’d nearly forgotten all about it. Same for the egg. Only the Arcane Gem he’d given to Tang Yao.

“Beast Tamer Collinson, please help me revive the Darkwing Dragon.”

“Reviving the Darkwing Dragon will cost 600,000 gold. As a Great Prophet, you receive a 70% discount. So, 180,000 gold for you,” Collinson said. Pet Shops had strict price tables. A creature like the Darkwing Dragon was of the highest rank. So, the fee would be high.

180,000 gold might be a heavy burden for ordinary players, but it was a drop in the bucket for Nie Yan. He happily paid the fee.

“Please follow me,” Collinson said. He turned around and headed to the back of the shop.

Nie Yan and Xie Yao followed behind Collinson. After passing through a narrow corridor and walking down a flight of stairs, they entered a large room about 20 by 20 meters in size. Nie Yan didn’t expect there to be such a place in the back of the shop. The room was empty, save for a large magic formation, which radiated magical energy, in the middle.

“Please place your Darkwing Dragon in the center of the formation,” Collinson instructed.

Nie Yan chanted an incantation to summon the Darkwing Dragon. With a flash of light, its corpse appeared in the center of the magic formation. It lay there motionless, lacking the slightest trace of life.

Collinson walked forward and stopped at the edge of the magic formation. Raising the Resurrection Crystal in the air, he started chanting. A stream of darkness energy flowed out of the crystal and entered the Darkwing Dragon.

The magic formation erupted with a dazzling black radiance. Nie Yan and Xie Yao shielded their eyes from the blinding light. They could only vaguely detect Collinson and the Darkwing Dragon’s position.

After a while, the light gradually faded. Life had returned to the Darkwing Dragon as it slowly crawled back to its feet.

The Darkwing Dragon’s wounds were fully healed as the spark of life returned to its eyes. Nie Yan could also sense something different about it, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

The Darkwing Dragon’s scales looked like they were made out of a special, impregnable metal, glistening with a glossy lustre.

The Darkwing Dragon was still Rank 8, but incomparable to before. It’d completely transformed because of the effects of the darkness attribute Resurrection Crystal.

“I suggest you closely examine the changes in your Darkwing Dragon. You’ll gradually discover the 180,000 gold was well-spent,” Collinson said with a mysterious smile.

Nie Yan and Xie Yao couldn’t help but be attracted to the Darkwing Dragon’s glistening scales. Even though it was still a Rank 8 flying mount, they could tell it was far stronger than the Immortal Phoenix. The auras the two gave off were completely different.
