Heroes' Prison

Chapter 272 - 267 Luo Luoran

Of course, there are some pets without riding functions, but the power division still applies, for instance, Little Wang, which is just an ordinary stray dog and is at the very bottom among Level 1 pets, it lacks any riding function, truly a pure pet, to the extent that even the pet store disdainfully refuses to sell such pets. Only some of the larger pets can be used for riding, and these pets are the ones that can be called mount pets or mounts.

Huang Yi had high standards and wouldn’t consider mount pets below Third Rank, which immediately filtered out the majority of pets, resulting in him not yet finding a mount pet that truly caught his eye even now.

Next, Huang Yi and Lei Shen went to the cafeteria, got themselves a meal, and found a place to sit down.

"Eh? Overlord, you’re here too! Come over and join us!" At that moment, Lei Shen, with his sharp eyes, spotted an old man and immediately greeted him.

The old man was none other than the Overlord who had completed the Rare Quest within an hour, the very person Huang Yi had been waiting for so long. Now that everyone was in The Second World, they usually referred to each other by their names in The Second World.

"Ah-Yi, I should arrive in Dragon City in about three days, then I can help you find the remaining 98 hearts of the Sand Thief King," Overlord said as he sat down, tapping his boiled egg on the table and peeling it.

"There’s more, right now there’s a Holy Domain warrior with just a breath left waiting for us, I wonder what will drop after killing it," Huang Yi said with a touch of anticipation, thinking of the Black Wolf, which would be the first Holy Domain warrior he has ever killed after Hydra Death Scale! This would be a true kill reliant on his own strength, not like Hydra Death Scale where he relied on a Rare Quest to kill it.

"I hope you guys grow quickly! Ah-Yi’s guild started even later than mine and is in dire need of talented people," Lei Shen looked at Overlord with hope, "Fortunately, Sunset, Prideful Death God, Light Demon, and Knight are all in the northern region; once they grow up, Ah-Yi’s situation should become much easier."

The individuals Lei Shen mentioned were several outstanding figures from Rose Prison in the northern part of the continent. Once they grew up, they would be as talented as Lin Yiqin, Yun Sihai, Dong Huan, and Dragon Dominates the World from the Xuanyuan Clan, which in turn would be a great help to Huang Yi’s Hero Guild.

...

After finishing his meal, Huang Yi returned to his cell and logged back online.

He first went to the forum to see what Dao Feng’s Earth Dragon Valley was all about.

Huang Yi opened the 24-hour hot posts and glanced at them, the post ranked 18th was exactly the content he wanted to check —

"The Xuanyuan Clan discovers an area where Earthwalking Dragons congregate! Dao Feng has led his elite forces to take position within!"

Huang Yi immediately opened it to see the details.

"According to informants, three days after Dao Feng broke the world record of the 60th stage in the Tower of Pantheons, he obtained a map. Subsequently, Dao Feng gathered a large force to search according to the map, eventually discovering an area called Earth Dragon Valley, where all kinds of powerful Earthwalking Dragons convene, including dozens of varieties, from the weakest Third Rank Duck-billed Dragon to the most powerful Peak Fourth Rank Tyrannosaurus. Just yesterday, the Xuanyuan Clan found a wounded Peak Fourth Rank Tyrannosaurus and an isolated Advanced Fourth Rank Velociraptor. Dao Feng personally led a hundred elites into Earth Dragon Valley, and after suffering heavy losses, they finally succeeded in capturing these two Earthwalking Dragons."

"It is reported that Earth Dragon Valley is extremely dangerous, even the lowest level Duck-billed Dragon is at Level 50, with strength far surpassing players of the same level. Top-level Earthwalking Dragons like the Tyrannosaurus Rex are above Level 70, only large teams can deal with them, but the environment in Earth Dragon Valley is not suitable for large teams to enter, making it very difficult to capture top-level Earthwalking Dragons like the Tyrannosaurus Rex. In addition, capturing Earthwalking Dragons requires special Earth Dragon Reins, which are not sold at pet stores and the source of which remains unknown..."

After finishing the post, Huang Yi had a general understanding of Earth Dragon Valley, which was best suited for small teams or individuals to enter without causing too much commotion, there was a chance of successfully capturing a lone Earthwalking Dragon. He was quite eager to try, but he was uncertain where the Earthwalking Dragon Reins came from; he could only ask Dao Feng about that.

Next, Huang Yi immediately entered The Second World and sent a message to Dao Feng, directly asking, "Dao Feng, where can I get Earthwalking Dragon Reins?"

Soon, Dao Feng replied, "Instakill, you want to catch mounts in Earth Dragon Valley too? You can come over anytime, I’ll let my guys know to let you in. The Earth Dragon Reins have a chance to drop from the fifth boss of the 60th layer in the Tower of Pantheons, but the player’s level must not exceed 65, otherwise the drop rate is too low, I don’t know how many times you’d have to kill it to get one to drop. I leveled up to 66 three days ago, and these past few days I haven’t seen a single rein drop."

"Thanks!" Now, Huang Yi finally learned this secret.

Of course, this wasn’t much of a secret; there were still a few people in The Second World who could clear the 60th stage before reaching Level 65, and they naturally could also obtain the Earth Dragon Reins.

Now, Huang Yi had to work hard in this direction, he couldn’t even defeat the third boss yet, let alone the fifth one. Currently, the only ways for him to significantly enhance his strength were two: one way was to invest in the ninth layer of the Attack War Soul, but that required time, which he didn’t have; the other was to upgrade his equipment to Orange Gear and replace his weapon with a Level 60 Orange Weapon. That would be almost enough to go up against the fifth boss.

Huang Yi decided to continue grinding the 60th stage of the Tower of Pantheons, now that he had leveled up and was armed with a batch of top-level magic items, he should be able to kill the third boss. His drop rate was still incredibly high at this layer; as long as the Orange Gear dropped from the first three bosses, he could obtain it. With this method, he should be able to replace all his gear with a set of Level 60 Orange Gear.

Huang Yi quickly teleported to the 60th layer of the Tower of Pantheons, activated the Eye of Time, and began to repeatedly check the drop situation.

Gradually, the night passed.

Huang Yi fought tirelessly through the night, garnering an orange gear, a large amount of purple gear, and some materials.

The rising morning sun bathed the earth, and crystal-clear water droplets formed on the leaves in the forest as birds freely flitted between them.

However, the birds soon scattered in all directions as a vast shadow swept across the ground, and the Undead Flying Dragon began its new day’s patrol over its territory. Having been imprisoned for countless years, it now reveled in its freedom, taking great pleasure in flying back and forth across its domain.

"Instakill, good morning! Want a lift for a spin?" At that moment, the Undead Flying Dragon, spotting Huang Yi appearing on the Teleportation Circle, called out from the sky. It sounded boisterous, clearly in high spirits from the days of freedom it had been enjoying.

"No need, I have to go farther away!" Huang Yi shook his head.

The Undead Flying Dragon didn’t persist and continued to fly freely, soon disappearing from sight.

Now, Huang Yi planned to set off to meet up with Overlord in Dragon City. The Teleportation Circle in Dragon City would take some time to repair, so he had no choice but to travel the old-fashioned way.

But before that, he had two daily routines to complete.

He rummaged through his storage ring and pulled out a test-tube-like bottle, which was the very Medicine Bottle he had obtained in exchange for Unique Achievement Points.

At that moment, a drop of blackish-pink potion had formed on the Medicine Bottle, known as the Frenzy Potion, capable of increasing Attack Power by 10% for a full day.

It was considered a top-notch potion. Huang Yi immediately took out an empty crystal vial and carefully transferred the potion into it for safekeeping, to use later on. By now, his storage ring had accumulated many potions, each with a variety of functions to suit many different scenarios. However, he had yet to come across a divine-level potion like the "instant-kill potion," and had no idea when one might appear.

Then, Huang Yi proceeded to the second part of his daily routine, which was to check the success determination of his War Soul.

He has been failing at the 9th Stage of the Defense War Soul for many days, each time wasting two thousand Energy Points. The box of Energy Stones he had taken from the Golden Holy Dragon’s treasure spot was nearly depleted. Once out of Energy Points, he wouldn’t be able to enhance his War Soul for a while.

"Huh? It actually succeeded?!" Huang Yi couldn’t help but exclaim when he saw the system’s determination.

Today, he had luckily hit that 2% success rate!

Even more importantly, this success meant an increase of the maximum value by 10%!

Almost instinctively, he was about to choose the enhancement, but then he suddenly remembered something and forcibly held back his urge, logging off immediately.

Success determination had a fixed 24-hour refresh cycle, and even if he went offline, it wouldn’t refresh during this time.

At that moment, it was breakfast time at Rose Prison, and Huang Yi went straight to the cafeteria, grabbed breakfast, and quickly found Lei Shen.

"Brother Lei, you can go claim the bounty now," Huang Yi sat down and got straight to the point, "Remember someone paid you to kill me a while back? You get five million for a single kill, so tell him you’ll take care of it within today, and then I’ll drop my level."

"You’re preparing to enhance your War Soul?" Lei Shen asked as he took a sip of soy milk.

"That’s right! I’m about to go for the 9th Stage of my War Soul!" Huang Yi nodded.

"Alright, I’ll let them know as soon as I log in. My guild is short on cash at the moment, and we’ve already asked members to pay guild dues twice recently. It would be embarrassing to ask for more, so the five million will help ease our current financial strain," Lei Shen nodded in agreement.

After finishing breakfast, the two returned to their cells and logged back into the game.

It wasn’t until noon that Huang Yi spent a level’s worth of Experience Points to finally enhance his Defense War Soul to the 9th Stage. (To be continued.
