Chapter 42 - AN EGG (1/2)

LUO YAN was running towards the Silent Marsh.  After logging in, his first thought was to go there.  He's planning to check the dragon.  It would probably take a long time before he could find another dragon in this game, so he wanted to see the one near him now.  Well, of course, unless he met a player that belonged to the dragon race.  He heard those players could transform into their dragon form.

He didn't want to wait to meet those players.  Why would he when he could see one right now?

He couldn't help but feel excited.  Considering how real everything was in this game, he wondered if the dragon would look real too.   If it was, then it would feel like he actually saw a dragon in real life.  That would be kind of amazing, right?

Upon reaching the Silent Marsh, he first looked at the direction of the lake.  It still looked as it was when he first saw it.  As if not having Filli as the Eternal Lotus' source of food didn't affect it.   Well, this was a game so unless it was involved again in another task, it's state would probably not change.  He no longer looked at it and just walked towards the direction of the cave.

Because the cave was located at the very far North side area of the marsh, it took awhile before Luo Yan reached it.  When he did, his eyes immediately widened.  Because the mouth of the cave was much, much larger than he thought it would be.  It was almost as tall as a small building.  But if he thought about it carefully, a dragon was supposed to be sleeping inside, so something like this was only natural.

Before entering, he first took a deep breath and then took out the Invisibility Cloak from his Items Tab.  Even if the dragon was asleep, it wouldn't hurt to be careful.  This way, his presence wouldn't accidentaly wake the dragon.  He put on the cloak and then entered the cave.

The inside was dark but because of the elves' good night vision, add that to the fact that moon elves were more used to dark surroundings, Luo Yan could see the inside fairly well.  Nothing was out of the ordinary.  But as he went deeper and deeper, he noticed some gold coins and other small golden items scattered on the ground.  Then he heard the sound of a loud snoring.  It's not similar to a man's but more of that of a beast's.

Luo Yan carefully made his way towards the source of the snoring.  When he reached his destination, his feet suddenly felt like it was nailed on the ground.  His jaw almost dropped in amazement and shock.  Because in front of him was a very large sleeping dragon.  Although he already expected it, seeing it was a totally different experience.

The dragon had black scales almost as dark as that Umbra metal he got from the Gatekeeper.  He was only as tall as its snout, showing just how big it was.  There was a nasty scar that spanned from its forehead, crossed its left eye, and then ended at the corner of its mouth.  Making the dragon looked a bit sinister.  It only looked less evil because it was asleep.  If it was awake now, it would surely look similar to those villainous dragon who razed cities and ate humans.

Luo Yan gulped.  Even asleep, he could tell that this dragon was really powerful.  Good thing that hidden task didn't involve it at all.  Or else, he might only be able to finish it once he's at a very high level.

He opened his Status Window and planned to take a screenshot of the sleeping dragon.  He's planning to show it to Luo Jin once they met tomorrow at Olkdale Town.  Now that he thought about it, he probably should also take screenshots of the village and show it to his brother as well.  Since Luo Jin wouldn't be able to enter the moon elves' Origin Village.

The two of them already talked that they would meet at Olkdale Town tomorrow.  Since, according to Luo Jin, he'd be done with all his tasks tonight.
