Heroes' Prison

Chapter 359 - 351 Two-Headed Lin

Huang Yi’s main investment was the massive amount of money without which the port construction would have slowed down, making it impossible to accumulate the required one million contribution value, thus preventing the expansion of his territory.

Huang Yi looked at the items that had dropped from the Man Wen. It had only dropped three things, two of which were equipment—a helmet and a waistbelt both for level 120, and both were top-tier orange gear with the highly sought-after "Borrow Light" attribute.

Huang Yi felt a slight disappointment; like the Half-Beast Chieftain, Man Wen hadn’t dropped any legendary equipment. Legendary equipment was rare, not something every Holy Domain warrior had. The previous Black Wolf and Black Serpent both possessed legendary items because they were three of the Great Generals under the Sand Thief King, the ruler of the Desolate Sands for several eras, who naturally shared his spoils with his most trusted subordinates. As for Man Wen, within the Half-Beast Holy Land, he was probably just a lackey and thus was not accorded any special treatment.

Huang Yi then checked out the third item, which was a storage ring. It bore a vague resemblance to the "Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring" in his hand but appeared nobler, being completely transparent, looking somewhat like crystal.

At that moment, the crystal-like storage ring lay quietly in the sand, emitting a radiant light under the sun, as if it were a treasure buried for countless years in the desert, now unearthed, returning to the world of the living.

Huang Yi bent down to pick up the storage ring and examined it.

The next moment, he was slightly taken aback. The storage ring had attributes, just like his own "Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring." It was an equipment with attributes, essentially a small piece of gear!

"Holy King Contract Storage Ring" (Purple Gear, Jewelry - Storage Ring)

Magic Defense: 54

Strength +50

Constitution +50

Agility +50

Drop Rate Doubled

Durability: 800/800

Required Level: 50

Equipment Score: 200

Item Description: A storage ring with attributes.

This Holy King Contract Storage Ring was better than the Overlord’s Pact Storage Ring he was currently wearing. It retained the double drop rate attribute and added 50 points to strength, constitution, and agility. Although the bonuses were not huge, they were free and were not found in other people’s storage rings.

Huang Yi immediately switched to this better storage ring. Wearing the dazzling ring on his slender finger, there was a sense of brilliance.

Huang Yi checked the contents of the storage ring, taking inventory.

The storage ring that had belonged to Man Wen mostly contained rare materials, a tremendous fortune worth an estimated one hundred million gold coins to any Life Class player.

Huang Yi was consistently searching for the silhouette of an energy stone, but after a long time, he couldn’t find one and couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

Today’s gains were still a little light, yielding only some auxiliary items and not like the previous times when killing Holy Domain warriors, where he either got legendary equipment or powerful skill books that substantially enhanced his strength.

"Instakill, your raptor mount is too weak. It’s time for an upgrade!" At that moment, the Sand King suddenly said to Huang Yi.

"Hmm!" Huang Yi nodded, "It is indeed a bit weak. In a little while, I’ll head over to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range to capture a brand-new mount."

His mutated velociraptor was caught around level 60, and back then, it was a powerful mount. But now that he was level 84, using this raptor seemed a bit inadequate.

For the average player, this mutated raptor was a divine-level mount that was hard to come by. But for someone like Huang Yi, it was starting to lag behind his pace of strength enhancement, and it was time to capture a higher-level mount around level 90+.

"No, you don’t need to go to the Demonic Beast Mountain Range. There’s already one ready right here," the Sand King said as he threw something in front of Huang Yi.

Huang Yi looked down and suddenly did a double take.

Before him lay the Two-Headed Lin mount of Man Wen!

At that moment, it lay shivering on the ground, not daring to show any resistance in front of the Sand King.

"This beast is called a Two-Headed Lin, currently at level 115 in strength, and a Holy Demon rank magical beast. For you now, it is an incredibly powerful mount," said the Sand King nonchalantly. "Man Wen is dead, but this mount isn’t. This means they didn’t have a Master-Servant Contract. This mount must have been bound by the reins, like that rope on its body."

Hearing this, Huang Yi looked at the Two-Headed Lin and indeed noticed a set of reins that was similar to the Earthwalking Dragon reins he possessed.

With Man Wen’s death, it was as if the mount had dropped along with him. Huang Yi suddenly acquired a formidable Holy Domain rank mount, something he wouldn’t be able to capture even if he tried.

Huang Yi, excited, reached out and immediately grabbed the reins.

"[System Prompt]: You have acquired the Mount, Two-Headed Lin (Fifth Rank Top Level). The strength of the Two-Headed Lin will be adjusted according to your level."

[Two-Headed Lin] (Fifth Rank Top Level, level 115, temporarily reduced to level 84)

Speed: Advanced Fourth Rank

Attack: Sixth-Order Primary Level

Defense: Fifth Rank Top Level

Life: Fifth Rank Top Level

Attack Range: Up to 150 meters

Offensive Mode:

Left head Ice Ability, can release Ice Arrow Technique (150 meters range, single-target skill)

Right head Fire Ability, can release Fire-Breathing Technique (100 meters range, area attack skill)

Limbs attack power, can attack enemies with its claws, teeth, tongue, etc.

This Two-Headed Lin is a top-level mount of the fifth rank, which is four ranks higher than Huang Yi’s current Raptor Mount. His current Raptor Mount is a top-tier fourth-rank mount, and the next levels would be primary level, intermediate level, advanced level of the fifth rank, and then top-level.

Top-level is also known as the peak, representing the absolute ruler of that rank, just like the Tyrannosaurus Rex among the fourth-rank mounts. At the current stage, players do not even have widespread access to beginner fourth-rank mounts, yet this Two-Headed Lin is the peak existence among the fifth-rank mounts! Especially in terms of the most important attribute, attack power, it has reached the Sixth-Order Primary Level!

It is estimated that for a long time, this Two-Headed Lin will be leading the pack.

However, right now, this powerful Two-Headed Lin was lying on the ground, shivering with fear before the Sand King’s strength.

Huang Yi bent down, reached out, and stroked the two heads of the Two-Headed Lin to soothe it. The Double-headed Scaled Beast quickly calmed down.

After a while, both of the Two-Headed Lin’s heads gazed at Huang Yi obediently, affectionately nuzzling against the palm of his hand.

"Stand up!" Huang Yi patted the heads of the Two-Headed Lin and said with a slight smile.

The Two-Headed Lin immediately stood up, regaining its fearsome appearance, red light shining in its eyes, and long sharp fangs dripping with saliva, which corroded the sand on the ground.

Huang Yi straddled and rode on the Two-Headed Lin.

The feeling right now was completely different from riding the Raptor. Huang Yi could clearly sense that the Qi-Blood of the Two-Headed Lin was extremely powerful, its breath far surpassing that of the Raptor! It was like riding a tank, wherever it went, everything was flattened.

"Sand King, thanks for stepping in this time. If it hadn’t been for your imposing presence, my dignity would have been swept away," Huang Yi said, turning his head to the Sand King.

Today was entirely the effort of the Sand King; Huang Yi was just picking up the spoils. This time, the risk factor was much lower than any other time before. Whether it was killing the Black Wolf, the Black Serpent, or the Half-Beast Chieftain, Huang Yi had to put in a lot of effort, and even faced life-or-death situations, but this time it went smoothly.

"No problem, I was driven mad by it these past few days, hardly able to sleep a wink," said the Sand King indifferently.

Afterward, Huang Yi, riding the Double-headed Scaled Beast, began making his way back to Dragon City. Along the way, some players were hurrying nonstop from Dragon City, seemingly wanting to witness the spectacle. However, they only saw the returning Huang Yi.

When they saw that the branded Two-Headed Lin mount had already been subdued under Huang Yi’s crotch, they immediately understood the outcome of the matter.

...

Meanwhile, in the City Hall of the Wind Kingdom, a group of high-ranking officials sat together, each wearing a solemn expression.

"Big brother, now that Instakill has used that giant scorpion to kill Man Wen, what should we do?" a high-ranking official asked, frowning.

"Sorry, it’s my fault!" Ice Wind Water Soul sighed, "I made my move too soon. I thought that with Man Wen acting, he would surely be able to kill Instakill and boost our prestige, so I couldn’t help but come forward to reveal our backing, not expecting that even Man Wen would fall at the hands of Instakill."

"Next, we will definitely face Instakill’s frenzied retaliation. He is like a rabid dog, never forgiving an enemy, seeking to bite them to death," a woman in her thirties offered her opinion, "Currently, we have two solutions. The first is to compensate Instakill with a sum of money, just as we did when we failed to compete for Dragon City. Although he is like a mad dog, his credibility is still good. After we compensated him last time, he didn’t come to trouble us."

"No way!" A middle-aged man immediately shook his head, decisively rejecting the idea, "We have just gone public with our declaration of war against Instakill, the whole world is watching us. At this point, retreating would definitely bring us global humiliation. Our guild would be as good as finished. I cannot afford to lose that face!"

"Yes! I can’t lose face like that either. I was very frustrated last time, and this time I must have my revenge! To the bitter end with Instakill! Our guild has five million members, and we also control so many Allied Guilds, totaling ten million members. We are fully capable of fighting Instakill!" another brawny man also said vehemently.

"So we only have one choice now," the thirty-something woman suddenly said, "We have to keep the Heavenly Curtain Barrier active to guard our city. That way, Instakill won’t be able to infiltrate, preserving our face and allowing us to continue confronting Instakill, maintaining the surface glamour. But the cost of Magic Stones for the Heavenly Curtain Barrier will be astronomical." (To be continued.
