Chapter 684 - Chapter 685: Chapter 362 Vermilion Bird Burning the Sky (2/2)

That’s right, the reason he wanted to exchange for divine metal, instead of ancient scriptures, was because of a task.

No one knew that more than ten days ago, he received a Mainline Task that was four-star from the very first phase!

Four-star and a Mainline Task at that, it was the first time he’d encountered a task of this type.

Initially, he didn’t hold any hope, finding it hard to believe he could complete the task. However, after attempting, he was pleasantly surprised to find out that he had a way to complete the seemingly difficult first phase of the mission.

After much effort to complete the first phase of the mission, he got the Vermilion Bird Stone Egg.

When he first saw the Vermilion Bird Stone Egg, he thought he was on the rise, but he quickly discovered with disappointment that he was thinking too much. This reward, which seemed to have a huge background, was actually just a broken stone!

Having no alternatives, he placed all his hopes on the second phase of the mission, hopeful that it could reward him with a good item that would make him skyrocket.

And yes, to complete the second phase mission, one of the conditions was that he needed a piece of divine metal.

He didn’t know what divine metal was till he looked up references. He was on the verge of despair seeing the results.

This wasn’t something he could possibly obtain!

He had been ready to give up on this mission when an unhoped-for chance appeared again. Zhang Yang had actually brought out a piece of divine metal. Not even thinking, he immediately put the only valuable item he had on hand, the Vermilion Bird Stone Egg, up on the forum.

But a day had passed and Zhang Yang had not contacted him.

In his opinion, Zhang Yang simply couldn’t value what he had put out. Disappointed, he had been ready to give up again.

Unexpectedly, it felt like fortune had favored him once again when Zhang Yang contacted him today on World Chat, agreeing to trade with him and appointing the meeting place as this location.

From despair to hope, and then from hope to disappointment, and finally from disappointment to hope realized, the roller coaster of emotions made him feel like he was dreaming.

“Although this Vermilion Bird Stone Egg is the egg of the Twelve Auspicious Beasts Vermilion Bird, it has completely petrified, with no vitality left. What does God Zhang Yang need this for?”

“Could it be that he has a way to resurrect the Vermilion Bird from this stone egg?”

After waiting for four hours, Li Zheng’s excitement gradually subsided. Looking at the Vermilion Bird Stone Egg again, he was puzzled.

He couldn’t help but wonder whether there was still a possibility of resurrection for this lifeless Vermilion Bird Stone Egg, or if it had other uses unknown to him.

“If the Vermilion Bird in this stone egg really has a chance of reviving, wouldn’t I lose out as I’m only trading it for a piece of divine metal?”

Li Zheng’s thoughts went round and round. For a moment, he had second thoughts.

He was hesitant about agreeing to trade with Zhang Yang.

“Forget it, even if Zhang Yang really has a way to revive the Vermilion Bird from this stone egg, it has nothing to do with me. The methods Zhang Yang has mastered are beyond comparison for me.”

“If it remains with me now, it’s very likely to rot in my hands forever. It’s better to get the divine metal first and complete the second phase of the mission.”

“At least when the second phase of the mission is completed, there will be tens of Demon Power points, and if I’m lucky, I might even get a treasure.”
