Chapter 973 - 917: Hidden Instance in the Dragon Tomb
Giant Dragon Treasure Space, the battle ended 20 minutes ago. The treasure-laden treasury has been completely swept away by Da Fei’s troops.
This time, the spoils of war are 5.98 million Gold Coins, 11 S-level Ancient Warrior Dragon Soul Swords, 11 pieces of Ancient Warrior Armor, and 11 Ancient Warrior Shields. Then, various antique gold plates, gold canes, and gold night pots, totaling 55 pieces. Overall, it’s similar to the previous treasure space.
However, Da Fei still cannot leave, the pivotal Divine Level Fragment hasn’t been found yet. Obviously, even an Expert Level Treasure Appraiser is not enough to discover a divine artifact under normal circumstances. Little Fei flying through the air, Da Fei crawling on the ground, angels searching the ceilings and walls of the hall, Da Fei uses every means for a full-scale carpet search, acquiring hundreds of unknown crystals which don’t exhibit any attributes, and vary in color and shape.
Which crystal is the divine artifact? Which is just a common gemstone? Da Fei is immensely troubled.
Even more troubling for Da Fei is that, although Elena and Catherine are specially responsible for screening these crystals, it seems every crystal holds energy, each one appears to be treasure?
There’s nothing to be done, just pack them all up and take them away. Just like when he initially couldn’t find seeds in the Vine Forest Space, he had to take all the nameless soil lumps. Then when a new day arrives, he can use Luck Skill to identify them.
As the instance’s time limit approached, Da Fei, after confirming nothing was omitted, had to leave with an uneasy, tangled feeling.
Then, another feast begins. Da Fei seizes this free time to use Dragon Soul Pearl and Blood Eagle to observe the surrounding giant dragon bones. Many dragon bones are scattered along the path, but due to the passage of time, they have no energy remnants and now exist as mere scenery.
And after Da Fei’s sweep through two treasures along the way, a corner of the map has been cleared, yet there are still three massive energy sources and over a hundred small red dots, indicating that there are 3 treasures and over a hundred small creatures left.
Great, my crystal ammunition is just right for use here. Sweeping through this Dragon Tomb will equip at least a hundred-member regiment with troop equipment obtained merely. As thoughts raced, suddenly a golden flash appeared on Blood Eagle Radar!
Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped, golden flash! Is there treasure? Da Fei quickly stopped Blood Eagle to check, and saw, indeed, beneath the water lies a dragon bone, and hidden within the dragon bone’s chest cavity is an indistinct narrow Space Gate!
And then the golden light flashed again, stemming directly from the Space Gate. Da Fei is astonished on the spot, could this be another treasure? Suddenly, Da Fei noticed the size of this dragon’s bones is much smaller than other dragons, especially its skull size which might not even be a third. Other dragon bones are mountainous, semi-submerged in water resembling small islands, whereas this Little Long’s bones are submerged.
Damn! Hidden so furtively that even the Dragon Soul Pearl hasn’t detected it—this must be a hidden instance. The problem is it’s under water, my mecha can’t enter, angels can’t dive either, angels can’t get in. In fact, except for common Fishman and other Sea Race troops and pirates with Water Battle Skills, no typical nation’s troops can enter water.
This means, worst-case scenario, players can only bring the Vice Hero in, no troops at all. It’s not as if you’d bring weak-suited sailors into battle, right? And seeing such small stature, it doesn’t seem like an aged dragon, perhaps it died young? There is certainly depth! While the instance looks small, it might actually be the most difficult.
Momentarily, Da Fei is tangled. Damnit, why get tangled? Leave the hardest till last!
Thus, Blood Eagle continued heading to the Radar’s predetermined target. And then it saw, at this moment Da Fei was astonished again! This dragon’s bones are considerably large, roughly larger than the previous two dragons, and it’s the most glaring energy body on the Radar. Could this be the Giant Dragon King? This one really is the hardest!
Then say nothing more, leave it for last. Just then, System Prompt dinged:
——System Prompt: Your team’s Ghost Ship Hero Renior leveled up, Renior’s Defense enhancement for Ghost Ships +200, Light Weapons damage -5, and Durability restores by 4 points per second.
Oh, finished another meal, Old Captain leveled up again! Nothing more to say, continue onward. Clear two of equal difficulty first, then consider the hardest two instances.
Yet Da Fei is disappointed, under Blood Eagle’s exploration, the third treasure is not of equal difficulty, but rather a smaller dragon, meaning the difficulty decreased!
Lower difficulty means weaker boss, which means fewer spoils, but these don’t matter, the crucial part is, when the size shrinks, the Flying obviously can’t teleport inside, Flying can’t go in means Ancient Tree Fortress can’t either, instead the difficulty increased!
Damnit! In such times Da Fei is troubled! Without the ease of Ancient Tree Fortress, to directly bombard the boss? Such cursed experience Da Fei certainly won’t do!
Just then Tamilia stepped forward: "Lord City Lord, Flying, upon devouring a giant dragon heart, will upgrade, then the Holy Vine Space Gate will open wider and further, so long as the angle and distance are appropriate, it can directly open the exit of Holy Vine Space Gate within the dragon’s chest cavity, then Ancient Tree Fortress can directly enter without having to teleport Flying in."
Da Fei suddenly enlightened! Exactly, Flying is too tall and long to enter, but Ancient Tree half-submerged in water can enter, and Ancient Tree can bend! That’s how badass I am, no shape can stop me anymore!
Just means you need to ingest one heart, right? Da Fei eagerly anticipates Blood Eagle reconnaissance of the fourth treasure, but Da Fei is disappointed again, fourth treasure is still a smaller dragon bone, Flying still can’t get in!
Da Fei’s plans are thwarted, leaving only one choice, challenge the largest dragon bone which might be the Giant Dragon King! After clearing two instances only receiving scraps of Gold Coins and troop equipment, no awaited Divine Artifact whatsoever, surely the Giant Dragon King has a Divine Artifact? This is surely the ultimate boss of this scene?
However, can the Giant Dragon King be easily defeated by a few rockets? Or switch to Hell Crystal rockets? Who knows, perhaps Giant Dragon King’s Fear Domain is powerful, causing fear across all my troops, then it could cast various Magic crushing me? This would be a disastrous loss!
At this moment, Da Fei’s confidence wavers again! This is Da Fei’s lifeblood-like Angel Army, if this gets lost at a cursed instance, Da Fei would be crying endlessly in the toilet!
No, there’s still another option, I can challenge the newly discovered hidden instance first! Mind you, I still have a batch of Sea Demon Troop capable of diving, even if I don’t bring any troops at all, given my attributes, that’s still a mini-boss. It’s decided, challenge the hidden instance first.
So, Da Fei’s fleet moved above the hidden instance, since this time the Angel Army can’t join, leaving them aboard to heal from Extreme Cold’s bleeding, Selvia can thus follow me into the instance. As for deploying troops, should Sea Demon Troop be part? This question leads Da Fei into another dilemma.
Deirdre volunteered: "Master, please bring me along, even if I die, I can still return to Sea Soul Staff, Master need not worry about me."
Damnit, I’m worried about the Sea Demon Troop! What if I lose, that would be a huge loss! However, if even I as badass can’t clear a small instance, then who years later will?
Da Fei grit his teeth: "Alright, then deploy, go all out!"
Just then, Renior spoke: "Warrior, are you jumping into the water? Here is the North Pole’s icy water, contaminated with Dragon Blood preventing freezing, yet in reality, the water temperature is incredibly low, even Undead Creatures would extinguish their Soul Fire in such icy water, let alone ordinary Mortals, without sufficient special diving equipment support, these maidens should refrain from going down, though you Warrior, should have no issues!"
Damnit, my deep Cold Ice Body certainly poses no issue, but I have no idea what diving equipment to bring! Da Fei exclaimed: "It can’t be too deep, right?"
Renior continued: "Warrior, haven’t you noticed, in such blistering cold wind, our sailing speed is much slower? Because the water resistance here is much higher than normal water, visually seeming only ten meters deep but equivalent to normal several dozen meters, certainly Warrior with Extreme Diving Skill won’t mind!"
Damn, this is Flame River Hell’s icy version! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com for reading.)
