Heroes' Prison

Chapter 285 - 280: The Perfect Mount

The group of Raptors was suddenly startled, all of them firmly blocking in front of the Dragon Egg, warily staring at that Dragon Head. The mutated Raptor leader, in particular, took a large step forward and hissed at the head Dragon, emitting a strong warning sound!

But that Dragon Head was dead, no matter how they tried to drive it away, it remained motionless.

Meanwhile, Huang Yi had already stealthily entered the Dragon’s Mouth and was inside the Heroes’ Prison.

Five minutes later, he had grabbed a suitable key—

Dragon Knight. Davian (Level 155, ID 4747)

In ancient times, a Dragon Knight under the command of Death God’s Temple, of noble status, but in the end, he chose to rebel, was specially captured into this prison, and imprisoned for life!

Dragon Knight, from the name itself, one would know it is about mounting dragons, which is the most top-level kind within the knight class.

Top-level Dragon Knights can even mount the Dark Demon Dragon, the Golden Holy Dragon, the Holy Giant Dragon— the three great top Dragon Clans.

Huang Yi took the key and quickly found the cell of the Dragon Knight according to the map in the book.

At this time, in the cell was a tall human clad in heavy blue Armor. The Armor looked very heavy and didn’t emit that ostentatious frivolous golden light; it seemed to gather all the strength together, very tactile. In his left hand, he held a huge Knight Sword, the blade at least two to three meters in length, looking chilling; and in his right hand, he held a blue shield, thick as a flash iron door, about ten centimeters and weighed who knows how many tons. His head was tightly covered with a Helmet, obscuring his face.

The entire being of the Dragon Knight looked like a Heavy Armor giant, filled with a sense of strength and defense. However, as a Knight without a mount, his power was somewhat diminished.

Huang Yi estimated that this Level 155 Dragon Knight, if he released a 5% strength clone of himself, could probably beat those Raptors to a cripple.

"Dragon Knight, want to see the outside world?" Huang Yi said to the Dragon Knight inside, immediately inserted the key, and opened the Magic Gate by 5%, allowing a 5% strength clone of the Dragon Knight to escape. As long as he coveted freedom enough, he would rush out to see the outside world immediately.

Next, Huang Yi instantly chose to leave and returned to the outside world; by this time, he was no longer invisible and was thus exposed amidst a group of Raptors!

The dozen or so Raptors were still gathered together, investigating the entrance of the Heroes’ Prison, and now they were suddenly stunned to see Huang Yi appear, slightly taken aback, not reacting immediately.

"Transformation: Treasure-Sniffing Cat!" Huang Yi instantly switched forms, shrinking in size and becoming the petite Treasure-Sniffing Cat.

Then, he used [Void], disappearing out of the Raptors’ sight.

"Boom!" At this point, those Raptors finally reacted, rushing towards Huang Yi’s direction!

Huang Yi’s vision was immediately filled with chaos, with various lights and shadows shifting, but these Raptors’ attacks couldn’t hurt him at all; he was now impervious to any attack.

Meanwhile, the entrance to the Heroes’ Prison also started to dissipate, the tall figure of the Dragon Knight gradually becoming clear. The two-to-three-meter-long sword in his hand reflected the cold moonlight; even though Huang Yi was in Void State, he could clearly feel the killing intent in the sword’s light.

The surrounding Raptors saw the Dragon Knight and were slightly startled, retreating next to the Dragon Egg, warily staring at him.

Soon, the entrance to the Heroes’ Prison had completely vanished, the Dragon Knight’s clone immediately losing contact with its original body inside and left with nothing but pure combat instinct.

The next moment, it swung its long sword, shielding with its shield, and charged at one of the Raptors.

The battle finally broke out!

...

Huang Yi was at the core of the battlefield and could watch the fight at the closest distance. He felt the ground was thundering all around him, the soil flying chaotically, blood splattering, a complete pandemonium as the fight raged on. More than a dozen Raptors, in order to protect the Dragon Egg, desperately battled against the Dragon Knight.

"Puff!" The head of a Raptor was chopped off with a single sword strike, the fresh blood gushing out like water from a faucet, drenching the ground and staining the row of white Dragon Eggs red, as it protected its offspring with its life.

This was the cruel law of nature, they could hunt down the aging Tyrannosaurus Rex, or be outwitted and trapped by Huang Yi, a player with meager strength.

The battle grew increasingly fierce, with one Raptor after another either being killed or severely injured, but none of them chose to flee; they fought to the death guarding those dragon eggs.

And that Dragon Knight didn’t fare much better, with multiple injuries across his body, his shield having been knocked off, thrown far away, and his heavy armor tattered, revealing the skin underneath.

However, what eased Huang Yi’s mind was that, despite the battle raging on for so long, the leading Mutated Velociraptor had still not fallen in battle, though it staggered with many sword wounds, finding it hard to even walk.

Gradually, the number of Raptors still capable of fighting dwindled, the ground was a mess, strewn with the corpses of Raptors and shattered dragon eggs.

In the end, only the Mutated Velociraptor and the Dragon Knight remained on the field.

"Thud!" At that moment, the Dragon Knight thrust his sword into the staggering Mutated Velociraptor’s body, and the Mutated Velociraptor countered with one final retaliatory attack, unleashing a bolt of thunder and lightning from the horn on its head, striking the weak and feeble Dragon Knight fiercely.

"Boom!" The next instant, the large body of the Dragon Knight fell backward, disintegrating into thin air, leaving no trace of its existence.

The Mutated Velociraptor, struck by a final heavy blow, also fell rigidly, left with its last breath.

At this moment, the field was in shambles; the Raptor side’s strength, in the end, proved slightly superior, with only four or five actually dead, the rest wounded and unable to stand.

Just then, Huang Yi finally deactivated his Void State, revealing his form. Now, without any threat to his life, he could come out and clean up the aftermath.

The wounded Raptors, catching sight of Huang Yi, stared at him with a death grip yet unable to retaliate. Huang Yi walked straight up to the robust Mutated Velociraptor.

The Mutated Velociraptor was not yet dead, it bled profusely from its wounds and was doomed to die eventually. Opening its eyes, it fixed its gaze on Huang Yi with pride; even at its last breath, the aura of a leader was still present.

Huang Yi took a deep breath, excitedly took out a bridle, squatted down, and harnessed the Mutated Velociraptor, fastening the buckle.

"[System Prompt]: You have successfully captured a Mutated Velociraptor (Top-tier Fourth Rank). The strength of the Mutated Velociraptor will be adjusted according to your level. Do you choose to heal the injuries of the Velociraptor?"

From then on, this one-in-a-million Mutated Velociraptor belonged to Huang Yi!

Raptors were originally second only to the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Tyrant Dragon among the Earthwalking Dragons, but this Mutated Velociraptor was different; it had reached Top-tier Fourth Rank, on par with top Earthwalking Dragons like the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Tyrant Dragon!

Besides, it possessed a rare Thunder Attribute Attack ability! Thunder Attribute Skills are known for their strong attack power and paralyzing effect, temporarily preventing the opponent from countering.

In addition, the Raptor balanced both speed and attack. Its speed might not match the Velociraptor, but that was all relative; compared to other mounts, it was much faster. And Huang Yi also had an absolute 50% increase in Movement Speed that could stack on top of his mount, meaning he would move even faster when riding the Raptor.

At this moment, the injuries on the Raptor’s body visibly healed to perfection, and it stood up once again.

No longer holding any resistant emotion, it quickly became extremely affectionate with Huang Yi, quietly standing by his side, guarding him. Bathed in the Moonlight that highlighted its strong silhouette, rugged skin, and eyes flashing with Thunder Light, it looked mighty and imposing.

The other Earthwalking Dragons, witnessing this, were instantly astonished, their eyes filled with confusion and disbelief, not understanding why their powerful leader would willingly follow a human.

Huang Yi turned to look at the other Raptors, deciding not to capture them; the captured Earthwalking Dragons were essentially contracted to him, unusable by anyone else, and capturing more would be pointless.

"Let’s go!" Huang Yi patted the Raptor’s head and mounted it.

The Mutated Velociraptor nodded its noble head and began to stride outwards, racing away. Its domineering presence unfurled unabashedly, causing all Earthwalking Dragons encountered along the way to steer clear, not daring to rival the Mutated Velociraptor.

This mount hunting trip had now reached perfection, with the best mounts for both traveling and combat captured, and each one top-class in its field.

Huang Yi’s strength had skyrocketed because of this acquisition of mounts.
