NOVEL NEXT Chapter 74, This is Dragon Egg_1
Jiang Chen watched the Dragon Knight disappear into the distance.
Not far away, a valley appeared, with many Guards watching over it.
As the passage narrowed, the Dragon Knight flew to a spot nearby, attracting the aggro of the Guards in front and drawing them into the valley. Over a hundred Guards blocked the exit, completely surrounding the narrow valley.
Richardson laughed manically, "Now let's see how you'll get over here. While we're at it, let's lure out some more Guards and secure the valley tightly, keeping you busy with the small fries, while I Kill the BOSS."
Richardson rode his flying mount and sped off.
Soon, countless Guards were drawn to guard the passage.
Before Richardson had even lured the monsters, Jiang Chen had already left the valley. Watching Richardson's actions, he understood his intention. Richardson planned to use the Guards to block the entrance, allowing the Dragon Knight to seize the opportunity to defeat the BOSS and snatch the Inscriptions.
Jiang Chen continued forward. After crossing the valley, a huge palace emerged.
The others hurried to the valley, where they saw over one hundred Guards.
"Damn it, why are there so many Guards here?"
"This must be Richardson's doing. Ever since we entered the Secret Realm, there's been no sign of him."
"He's a Dragon Knight, incredibly fast with a natural advantage. He's definitely found and killed the BOSS to grab the Inscriptions before us."
"Looks like he plans to use the Guards to hold us back while he monopolizes the BOSS."
"Over a hundred Guards, what do we do?"
"What else can we do? Charge through."
"The Space is too tight; we won't hold out."
"I'll do it."
Black Phoenix stepped forward from behind, wielding Dual Blades and charging to the front. The Level 30 King's Crown Diamond suit, combined with the Angus Great Sword, greatly Upgraded Black Phoenix's strength.
He was unafraid of any monster below First-stage.
That is the mark of a true warrior—capable of self-healing, a truly formidable warrior.
They all knew Black Phoenix was a warrior from Shenlong Academy and the Legion Commander for this Alliance battle. He was an invincible type of close-range combatant, whose potent recovery abilities made him fearless on the battlefield.
"Black Phoenix is badass as always."
"As a warrior, he's undoubtedly the most qualified one."
"Every Class has its advantages; the only flaw is that warriors are slow. They can't keep up with my speed."
"Nonsense! Of course warriors are slower wearing Heavy Armor. Try wearing Heavy Armor yourself if you're so capable!"
"Enough talk, let's hurry up and kill these creatures. We can't let that bastard Richardson get the BOSS."
Jiang Chen entered the crumbling palace, using Flash in the Void to move, hiding behind Richardson. Since Richardson had his Giant Dragon circling in the sky, locating the BOSS was quite easy.
As Richardson was searching, countless arrows shot up into the sky. The Giant Dragon let out a miserable scream and rapidly performed a Sky Jump. The arrows struck it, causing searing, heart-wrenching pain.
Richardson's face darkened. "Damn it, how come there are Archers?"
Jiang Chen looked ahead, faintly sensing over a hundred sets of breathing. Archers were hidden all around. Richardson is an idiot for thinking there were no creatures here; that's why he was flying so low. It seems this BOSS isn't so easy to kill after all.
[Palace Guard]
[Level: 40]
[HP: 140,000/140,000]
[Physical Attack: 370-600]
[Magical Attack: 400-900]
[Physical Defense Power: 320-400]
[Magical defense power: 320-400]
As Jiang Chen observed, an Archer seemed to have spotted his location and sent a sword strike at a stone pillar. Jiang Chen quickly retreated.
Such keen Archers! I was discovered after just a mere glance and casting a single Identification Technique. These Archers are not to be taken lightly.
While Jiang Chen was dodging, several Archers quickly advanced in his direction, surrounding him from all sides.
Jiang Chen quickly cast Flash in the Void, deftly avoiding the Archers. Killing these Archers was easy, but Jiang Chen wanted to create some trouble for the students of Holy City's College.
The valley Guards couldn't stop the students from Holy City's College; they could only delay them for a while. A hundred SS-grade Classes teaming up could take down even a Level 50 BOSS, let alone Level 35 Guards.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...
After several dodges, he avoided all the Archers and entered the depths. His speed was so fast that even the Archers didn't notice him.
Jiang Chen continued forward. Guards appeared from time to time, but Jiang Chen would use Flash in the Void to quickly move past them, heading straight for his objective: finding the BOSS.
Jiang Chen ran swiftly and soon saw a sleeping Giant Dragon.
He carefully cast an Identification Technique on it.
But above the Giant Dragon's head, countless question marks appeared.
What's going on? The Identification Technique was ineffective, unable to detect the monster's Attributes? How do I deal with this?
At this moment, the Giant Dragon opened its eyes and looked in Jiang Chen's direction. Its massive body slowly rose, its eyes fixed on where Jiang Chen was.
Jiang Chen hid behind a stone pillar, a smile playing on his lips. Interesting. If I can't identify this Golden Dragon, it must be very powerful. This must be the strongest BOSS in the palace.
Hiding behind the pillar, Jiang Chen felt the Golden Dragon take a deep breath. Its huge maw turned in his direction. Jiang Chen's expression changed. Not good! Am I discovered?
Flash in the Void...
Without any hesitation, Jiang Chen used the Sky Flash Skill, quickly fleeing his previous position.
ROAR...
From the Golden Dragon's mouth, a circular column of fire burst out. This column of fire shot towards where Jiang Chen had just been standing, turning the nearby stone pillars instantly red-hot before they shattered.
Jiang Chen watched this change, thinking to himself, That was close! This Golden Dragon is incredibly strong, not just its Offensive Power but its Perception too. A single Identification Technique was enough for it to find me.
ROAR...
With a roar, the Golden Dragon spread its wings and soared high into the sky, circling above and surveying the ground, as if the human it encountered hadn't died.
As the Golden Dragon circled in the sky, it had an unobstructed view of the ground. Unsurprisingly, Jiang Chen was quickly spotted. The Golden Dragon fixed its gaze on him from above.
Jiang Chen extended his right hand towards the Golden Dragon and laughed, "Hello there!"
In 'welcome,' the Golden Dragon unleashed its Dragon Breath, a massive jet of flame shooting toward Jiang Chen.
WHOOSH...
Once again, he cast Flash in the Void, quickly escaping.
No matter where Jiang Chen dodged, the Golden Dragon saw him clearly.
Jiang Chen was puzzled. Aren't dragons supposed to be nearsighted? This one's eyes are like magnifying glasses!
Dodge, dodge...
While rapidly dodging, Jiang Chen noticed a small, shimmering sphere.
He looked closer. What was that?
Where the Golden Dragon had been sleeping, an oval sphere lay glittering with golden light. It resembled a duck egg, albeit a very large one.
Jiang Chen's heart raced.
Could this be a Dragon Egg? What luck! This is the Golden Dragon's treasure! Wait, why 'its' treasure? It's obviously mine! I'll take it!
Jiang Chen used Flash in the Void to appear where the Golden Dragon had been sleeping. He scooped up the Dragon Egg with both hands and glanced back at the Golden Dragon in the sky.
ROAR...
A tremendous roar echoed through the sky. The Golden Dragon's enormous belly rapidly swelled, and it spat out a Dragon Breath. This time, it wasn't flames but a blue pillar that shot forth. Wherever it passed, stone pillars turned to dust.
Clutching the Dragon Egg, Jiang Chen hastily retreated.
Whoa, it's furious now. Time to get out of here!
