Heroes' Prison

Chapter 575 - 551 The Secret of the Golden Holy Dragon’s Treasure

At this time, he still had 1,450 Stone Exchanges. He turned around and browsed the front display cabinet once more, contemplating what item to exchange for. Popular items like the Level-Up Potions and Spirit Stones were no longer of any need to him, as he had already surpassed Level 100, and his War Soul had completed its ninth stage.

As for equipment, he was missing a Legendary Belt, but one needed two thousand Stone Exchanges for it, and he didn’t have enough.

Just then, Huang Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks and fixed his gaze on a compartment next to him.

Contained within this compartment was a delicately crafted compass. It was divided into several fan-shaped regions of varying sizes, each named after a different magic element. Larger areas represented common elements like fire, ice, earth, and wind, while the smaller sectors contained rare elements like thunder and water. At the very center of the compass laid a needle, currently in the initial position.

Huang Yi immediately looked at the label of this item—

[Compass of Elemental Spirits]: A single-use item that could randomly provide the precise location of an Elemental Spirit when used. Stone Exchanges required: one thousand four hundred.

Elemental Spirits! Upon seeing these four words, Huang Yi instinctively looked at his left hand, where he wore his most top-level piece of equipment—Thunder Left Hand, half a piece of Epic Equipment.

The item description clearly stated the conditions for advancing this equipment—if he could find the other half of the bracer and fuse it with the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning, then the pair of bracers could be restored to Epic Equipment!

Huang Yi was unfamiliar with such a thing as the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning and had no idea where to obtain it, not a single clue. Now, with the Compass of Elemental Spirits, he could find one!

Even though the compass was a single-use item and it randomly provided the location of an Elemental Spirit, which could be a common one like Fire Element for others, Huang Yi didn’t have that problem. He possessed the Eye of Time skill and could keep randomizing with the compass until he got the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning.

Huang Yi immediately reached out and unhesitatingly picked up the Compass of Elemental Spirits. Instantly, the 1,400 Stone Exchanges in his storage ring completely vanished, leaving only the last fifty.

After grabbing the compass, he began his attempt right away.

"[System Prompt]: Do you wish to use the [Compass of Elemental Spirits] now?"

That’s when Huang Yi activated the Eye of Time!

After consuming five hundred Energy Points, he saw the System’s outcome for this use. If he were to use the Elemental Spirit compass now, then the needle would automatically rotate and finally come to rest in the Fire Attribute sector, meaning the compass would provide him with the location of a Fire Element Spirit.

This didn’t meet Huang Yi’s needs; he wanted the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning. Now, he would have to wait for a 24-hour refresh, just like he did before with the Class Upgrade Scroll. He would try again tomorrow, and someday, he would randomize to a satisfactory result.

Afterward, Huang Yi left the space. With only fifty Stone Exchanges left, there was nothing else he could exchange that would satisfy him.

His 10% strength incarnation immediately went to the Teleportation Circle and merged back with his main body, continuing to grind Levels in the Tower of Pantheons.

Right now, his most pressing task was to level up quickly from Level 121 to Level 123 so that he could consume a Demon Core to break through to the Intermediate Holy Domain Rank, then solo the first boss of the Tower of Pantheons 100th Floor.

Besides, once the Attached Skill of his Ancestral Jewelry Set, Level Up, was off cooldown, he could check out the Golden Holy Dragon’s Treasure Spot.

...

In the blink of an eye, over a week had passed, and Huang Yi had reached Level 122.

Throughout the week, he used the Eye of Time everyday to check on the Class Upgrade Scroll and the Compass of Elemental Spirits, nearly depleting all of his Energy Stones.

These two items changed their results daily. The Class Upgrade Scroll had varied its effects over the days, not only modifying Class Talents but also including enhancements to Class Talents, enhancing Class Skills, adding new Class Skills, and modifying effects of Class Skills. Huang Yi wasn’t particularly satisfied with these effects, so he decided to continue observing to see if he might chance upon a top-tier effect.

As for the Compass of Elemental Spirits, it stubbornly refused to randomize the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning that Huang Yi desired. Most of the compass’s sectors were occupied by common elements, making the chances of randomizing the Spirit of Thunder and Lightning exceedingly slim. These days he had bad luck, with only common Elemental Spirits being randomized.

Today, Huang Yi’s Level Up skill had finally cooled down, allowing his Ancestral Jewelry Set to temporarily increase his level by 80, breaking through to a level beyond 200.

Now, it was time for him to visit the treasure of the Golden Holy Dragon and discover its secrets.

While Huang Yi’s real body was still fervently level grinding in the Tower of Pantheons, his incarnation had long since mounted the Two-Headed Lin and rushed towards the Golden Holy Dragon’s treasure spot.

In the past, this Two-Headed Lin would be considered an excellent mount, but for Huang Yi, who was now level 122, it had become somewhat outdated. Finding a better mount was difficult, especially those of sixth-order or higher, which tended to live alone and could be hidden anywhere. The vastness of the Hero’s Continent made finding a mount of such caliber akin to looking for a needle in a haystack – it all came down to fate.

After continuing on for a while, Huang Yi wiped the sweat beads from his forehead, looking ahead under the blazing sun. At last, the endless stretch of yellow sand at the horizon gave way to a valley – the destination of his journey.

For countless years, numerous people had set foot there, yet no one knew the true secret of the treasure. But now, that secret was about to be unveiled by Huang Yi.

Huang Yi quickly made his way through the valley to the Treasure Underground Palace, deftly triggering the mechanism he was familiar with.

"Boom!" The stone wall suddenly opened up again to reveal the level 200 barrier. The Sand Thief King was trapped inside, incapable of leaving without attaining level 200.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Yi’s incarnation stepped right in.

"Instakill, you’ve finally arrived," he heard the familiar raspy voice of the Sand Thief King as soon as he entered.

Immediately after, he felt a gust of wind as a figure dashed towards him, grabbing him and lifting him into the air. Thunder roared angrily, "Didn’t you promise me you’d go find the Fallen Messenger to rescue me? Why haven’t they come after all this time?"

Turning his head, Huang Yi saw the Sand Thief King looking the same as always, surrounded by a swirl of dust that veiled its majestic body. It was clad in a dragon robe and wearing a crown. However, its imperial aura had diminished significantly, a sign that its injuries were far from healed.

Without changing his expression, Huang Yi lied smoothly, "I did seek out the Fallen Messenger, but it said it had some urgent matters to attend to and couldn’t come to your rescue yet. I am here today solely to bring you this message."

"Hmph!" The Sand Thief King snorted coldly, its anger not subsided, "Why should I believe you, you who are so cunning?"

Unperturbed, Huang Yi continued, "The Fallen Messenger specifically gave me a drop of its blood to prove that I’m telling the truth."

With that, he promptly took out the drop of the Fallen Messenger’s blood from his storage ring. Some time ago when Man Tian was hunting him, he had led trouble to the Fallen Messenger, resulting in a clash with Man Tian. He had collected the blood of both powerhouses during that encounter for his own evolution, which now served as evidence.

Seeing Huang Yi produce a magic bottle, the Sand Thief King reached out, snatched it, and examined the blood closely.

"Hmm, this blood has the familiar scent of corruption; it truly belongs to the Fallen Messenger. It seems you haven’t deceived me!" The Sand Thief King nodded, its tone softening as it believed Huang Yi’s words and returned the magic bottle to him.

Accepting the magic bottle, Huang Yi placed it back inside the storage ring and glanced around the treasure spot. His gaze casually drifted towards the level 200 Treasure Room.

This treasure spot housed four treasure chambers, which required levels 50, 100, 150, and 200 to enter, respectively. He had emptied the first treasure chamber on his initial visit. The contents of the second and third chambers were with the Sand Thief King. Now only the final level 200 Treasure Room remained unexplored, possibly concealing the greatest secret of this treasure spot.

"Instakill, I can’t let you leave empty-handed this time. You’ve brought me the message, so I ought to reward you. As long as you continue to work for me, the benefits will keep coming," the Sand Thief King said indifferently, immediately producing a Holy Crystal Stone the size of a thumb. Filled with the power of the Holy Domain, it emitted a warm golden glow, a rare treasure indeed!

"Thank you!" Huang Yi didn’t hesitate, swiftly extending his hand to receive the Holy Crystal Stone and clutching it in his palm.

The Holy Crystal Stone was a special item not purchasable even with money, and not available for exchange in the Reward Vault. One had to search the vast wild areas for it.

The Holy Crystal Stone had a wide variety of uses, in alchemy, metallurgy, pharmaceutical manufacturing, enchantments, and many other life skills. In auctions, it could even serve as high-level barter, used to trade for items whose value gold coins couldn’t measure.

Currently, in Huang Yi’s storage ring, there was only one Holy Crystal Stone, which he had found in Guifu Heilang’s storage ring after defeating him previously.

Now, he possessed another one of these priceless treasures! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Starting Point (qidian.com) to vote for Monthly Tickets and Recommendation Tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
