Chapter 329: Dungeon Master VS Ling Tianlong (2/2)
”Now, you've pissed me off. I was planning to spare you, but you've chosen death!”
Ling Tianlong tore his uniform while his mentor had been watching his new form in shock. He ignored Ling Cao's reaction as he approached the tree of calamity and touched it.
”Come to me, Plum Monarch!”
SCREECH
The tree suddenly shrunk and entered Ling Tianlong's body through his pores. A second later, a pair of wooden wings spread. A head of a white snake and a head of a black snake also emerged from his back, slithering and wiggling behind the protagonist's head.
”KAHAHAHA!! Tianlong, you've finally called us!”
”I see that the situation is critical, but isn't this a bit hopeless? I can't even sense who you're fighting.”
The two snakes started talking, but Ling Tianlong wasn't surprised by their linguistic ability. He got used to their antics.
”Yin Monarch, Yang Monarch, this lowly mortal needs your help. Please provide me aid in this fight.”
The black snake scoffed, ”Prepare a suitable sacrifice after this!”
The white snake nodded, ”Since you've asked, we're obliged to help.”
Ling Tianlong strolled toward the northern passage, where he had a hunch that the dungeon master or the golem puppeteer had been hiding. He projected green energy swords from his both hands, preparing for combat.
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
As if Golems from the north corridor had guessed that Ling Tianlong had picked their turf, they sent another barrage of cannons and gunfire.
Ling Tianlong charged head-on. As he focused his Life Essence in his eyes, everything seemed slower, and he could see the trajectories of over a thousand bullets.
”Plum Blossom Sword Style… Death Sword Formation!”
…
Meanwhile, in the vault, Liu Guang and Miaomiao were clueless about the commotion in the dungeon. They stared at the immortal-grade dadao in shock.
Liu Guang was afraid of her new weapon at first. Then, she heard her dadao's cute voices again. She giggled and started talking to herself, ignoring Miaomiao's existence.
Miaomiao had a bitter smile on his face.
'So, I must have acted like Liu Guang in the past. Did Jia Shan and others look at me like how I look at Liu Guang now?'
It felt weird to see one of his wives turning into an existence closer to a major character. After all, weapon transformation perk belonged to main characters, such as antagonists, protagonists, or important side characters, because they looked cooler than normal weapons.
”Guang'er,” Miaomiao snapped Liu Guang back to her senses as he needed to send her off this place first before he started cleaning this place.
”Hmm? Oh, err, master. I was talking to these cute puppies. Please don't mind me.”
”Puppies?” He raised his eyebrows.
”Yes! The weapon spirits are actually cute puppies! They are pitiful, though, since nobody has taken care of them for centuries. The Liu Clan neglected them because they didn't understand how good they were. Right? Bao Bao, Bao Wow, Bao Woo?”
”…”
Miaomiao wondered if she had named the invisible spirits that he couldn't see, or these were their actual names. But one thing for sure, it sounded too similar to his surname, and he didn't like them.
”Guang'er…”
Miaomiao reached for Liu Guang, about to tell her to leave this place.
As soon as he touched her, the merged dadao, which continued to release aurora light radiation to the air, suddenly smashed his forehead with its blade.
Fortunately, due to the dao oath and the bond between him and Liu Guang, the latter's servant couldn't harm the grandmaster. The aurora-leaking purple dadao could only lightly bonk his head.
”I was about to tell you to leave this place first, but can you stop this stupid butcher knife from bonking my head?”
Miaomiao grabbed the blunt edge of the dadao to stop it, but the blade suddenly transformed into a dog's mouth and gnawed his lizard hand.
NOM-NOM-NOM
”…”
Miaomiao stared at the weird dog-like weapon. The bite didn't hurt, but it started to get annoying.
He yanked the dadao from his hand and passed it back to Liu Guang.
WOOF-WOOF-WOOF-GRRRRRR
Now, the dadao barked like a rabid dog. It tried to bite him again even though Liu Guang had tried her best to tame it.
”Stop! Bad doggies!”
The dadao whimpered and snuggled in Liu Buang's bosom. It looked odd since the blade part was too flexible to be useful.
…
After playing with the dog-like weapon for a few minutes, Liu Guang finally agreed to leave this place first.
Miaomiao had instructed her to return to Siren City without him since he was about to do something drastic. Moreover, it might affect them if they didn't leave the dungeon within an hour.
After Liu Guang had left, Miaomiao started counting the heaven-grade weapons in this place and calculated the points that he could amass.
First of all, Miaomiao needed 5,000 luck points to use the designated teleportation plot armor.
From his point of view, exchanging everything in this place for his 5,000 luck points, which was equal to five pieces of Heavenly Fate Fragments, wasn't worth it. However, the number of sky-grade and earth-grade armors, robes, and accessories in here was enough to gear his army at home.
Had it been Miaomiao in the past, he would have ignored everyone and tried to survive alone. But since several villains wanted him dead, he didn't mind improving his status as a major villain or a protagonist. For the sake of killing Yuan Hua, Kishin Douji, random villains, and annoying protagonists, Miaomiao needed a strong army.
Thus, arming the weakling beastkins, orcs, and the monks weighed over his luck points!
”I have 3500 luck points. Buddha gives me 500. The others gave me 200. I'm still 800 short.”
Macho Joshua had offered 50 luck points for every heaven-grade weapon that Miaomiao could tribute. Meanwhile, he lacked 800 points to use his plot armor skill to teleport randomly to Aves Continent.
In short, he needed to sacrifice 16 heaven-grade weapons in this room to the capitalist Jesus to get enough points. But the real question was, would this place had enough weapons to tribute Joshua and fulfill the sidequests of all gods?
Miaomiao began scanning through the vault before he did something irreversible.
