NOVEL NEXT Chapter 76, Taking advantage of the fire to rob_1
Jiang Chen said, "Alright, give me all your Resurrection scrolls. I'll lure away the Giant Dragon. Even if I die, I'm willing to accept it. Although the Resurrection scrolls can bring you back to life, your equipment will be dropped upon death."
Emerson's brow furrowed deeply. Jiang Chen was right. The key issue was, what if they handed over their Resurrection scrolls and Jiang Chen didn't keep his promise? Then they would be left to face the Golden Dragon's attacks alone.
"Why should we trust you?"
"Once we give them to you, we'll have to face the Golden Dragon's attacks. If we die then, that's true death."
"Giving them to you is worse than facing the Golden Dragon ourselves! Even if our equipment is destroyed, at least we'll still be alive. You should know that no matter how important equipment is, it's not as important as life itself."
"How about this: you lure away the Giant Dragon, and we'll give them to you once we've gotten out."
Jiang Chen laughed. Once they got out? By then, they'd probably be long gone. Where would I go to claim the Resurrection scrolls?
"Since that's the case, let's all face the Golden Dragon's attacks together. I don't care. Let's just see if you can dodge its attacks."
Without another word, Jiang Chen stepped forward, stretched out his right hand, and waggled his fingers at the Golden Dragon, clearly provoking it.
The Golden Dragon's eyes widened as it stared at the tiny human before it. Damned human, are you seeking death?
The Golden Dragon's angry gaze bore into Jiang Chen as it opened its maw wide and condensed a blue orb of light in the air. The orb was clearly visible, and everyone's expression changed drastically—the Breath of Destruction was coming again!
This damn Swordsman, how dare he provoke the Golden Dragon.
"Not good, the Golden Dragon is enraged!"
"Damn it, he's provoking the Golden Dragon!"
"If the Golden Dragon gets angry, it'll kill us too!"
"Careful, the Breath of Destruction is coming!"
Jiang Chen, sensing the Golden Dragon's fury and knowing that the Breath of Destruction was aimed at him, remained unafraid. With his Perception Skill, he could clearly sense the Breath of Destruction, and with his Sky Flash Skill, he could dodge it. Unless the Golden Dragon launched a large-scale attack covering a two-hundred-meter radius, it couldn't harm Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen rushed towards Angel Emerson. "Don't be afraid! Let's team up and deal with this pest!"
The color drained from Emerson's face. Don't come over here...
ROAR...
The Destruction Light Beam targeted Jiang Chen's position. As he ran, the Breath of Destruction followed close behind him. Just as it was about to scorch him, Jiang Chen flashed away in an instant.
Screams arose... Several slower warriors were enveloped by the Breath of Destruction and died instantly, their equipment shattering in moments. With a flash of white light, these people perished. They would revive at the resurrection point, but even then, their equipment would be gone.
「A flash of white light.」
「The resurrection point.」
About a dozen people looked at each other, stark naked without a single piece of clothing. Not only was their equipped gear gone, but everything in their Spatial Warehouses had also been destroyed.
"Damn it, my Diamond suit is gone!"
"This is infuriating! Now we have to grind for equipment all over again."
"If I'd known, I would've just given him the Resurrection scroll! It took me so long to gather a full set of King's Crown Heavy Armor, and now I have to start all over again."
"I never expected there to be a Golden Dragon in the Secret Realm."
Emerson was scared witless. He had been just a hair's breadth from death. They couldn't go on like this; otherwise, death would be the only outcome. This damn Swordsman! He dodged the Breath of Destruction. How on earth did he do it? Continuing like this wasn't a solution. While death itself wasn't terrifying, losing their equipment was unacceptable. Otherwise, they'd have to grind for gear all over again.
Emerson shouted, "Swordsman, I'll give you the Resurrection scroll, but you have to promise to lure away the Golden Dragon!"
Jiang Chen smiled. "We're friends! My best quality is my willingness to go through hell and high water for my friends. However, one Resurrection scroll isn't enough!"
Emerson looked at the others. "Give him your Resurrection scrolls! Let him lure away the Golden Dragon! Otherwise, if we die, our equipment will be gone!"
The others exchanged glances, then reluctantly took out their Resurrection scrolls.
"I don't have a Resurrection scroll. Here's some Silver-grade equipment instead."
"Neither do I. Take this equipment."
The others, in turn, took out items and placed them on the ground.
Emerson shouted, "Swordsman, not everyone has a Resurrection scroll! These items should be enough for you to lure away the Golden Dragon!"
Jiang Chen smiled. "We're all friends here; you're too kind."
Emerson nearly spat blood in frustration. Who the hell is your friend? Only a ghost would be!
Without another word, Jiang Chen collected all the equipment into his Spatial Warehouse, then quickly made his escape, beckoning to the Golden Dragon with his fingers.
The Golden Dragon roared in anger. Ignoring Emerson and the others, it chased after Jiang Chen, determined to reclaim its Dragon Egg.
Watching the Golden Dragon leave, Emerson finally breathed a sigh of relief and led the others to quickly exit the valley. Black Phoenix did likewise, hastily leaving the gorge.
"Damn it, that guy is truly shameless, taking advantage of our misfortune!"
"Sigh... What choice did we have? No one expected this Secret Realm to be a Golden Dragon's lair."
"We originally thought there were Inscriptions here, but it seems not."
"Something's not right. There should be treasures inside this Secret Realm. Why aren't there any?"
"Perhaps we'll only find Inscriptions after killing the Golden Dragon."
"The Golden Dragon is too strong. It's impossible to kill for anyone below the First-stage advancement, and I'm afraid even those at the Second-stage advancement can't kill it."
"Let's go! We need to get out of here quickly. If that Swordsman comes back, we'll be in for it."
"Hurry up!"
Black Phoenix was thoughtful. Jiang Chen must have obtained some kind of treasure. Otherwise, why would the Golden Dragon chase him specifically? What could this treasure be? Could it be a Dragon Egg...? If it is the egg of a Golden Dragon, then it's a massive treasure.
Jiang Chen continued to move. Seeing them leave, he immediately activated Heavenly Ruler Dragon Mode. Three hundred Sword Auras rotated around him, with an attack range of one hundred meters.
Jiang Chen watched as the Golden Dragon paused. With a thought, he directed the three hundred Sword Auras toward the Golden Dragon in the sky. The three hundred Sword Auras, like a dazzling chain of meteors, formed a long, serpentine line attacking the airborne Golden Dragon.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...
-9...
-9...
-9...
MISS...
MISS...
Huh... Is that it?
With such pitiful damage, how could he possibly kill the Golden Dragon? No wonder those people didn't even have the courage to attack and fled immediately. It just shows how terrifying this Golden Dragon is. Such attacks couldn't even breach the Golden Dragon's defenses, let alone kill it.
The Golden Dragon completely ignored these attacks, rushing at Jiang Chen from the sky and unleashing a Dragon Breath. Jiang Chen once again used Flash in the Void to dodge the Golden Dragon's assault.
Jiang Chen frowned deeply. Even with a hundredfold amplification, it's impossible to kill the Golden Dragon. So, what now? Heavenly Ruler Dragon Mode was Jiang Chen's strongest attack method. Moreover, the dragon's regeneration rate was even more terrifying; he couldn't even break through the Golden Dragon's thick hide.
It's time to leave.
Unless I level up to 30 and get a Paralysis Attribute Sword—one that has a 100% chance to paralyze the enemy—only then might it be possible. Only then would I have a chance to slay the Golden Dragon. Otherwise, with my current strength, it's absolutely impossible.
Jiang Chen looked at the Golden Dragon and said with a smile, "See you next time!"
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...
The Golden Dragon roared furiously, watching Jiang Chen flee rapidly. It pursued him closely. Jiang Chen used Flash in the Void and swiftly escaped the Secret Realm.
