Heroes' Prison

Chapter 593 - 568: The Mysterious Dragon Skin Scroll

Unfortunately, the drawback of this skill is that it has an excessively long cooldown—it’s the longest cooldown for a skill that I’ve ever seen. After using it once, I have to wait a hundred days before I can use it again, so it’s not something I can utilize regularly; the intimidation factor is greater than its actual use.

Moreover, whether it’s the instakill skill or the instant-kill potion, they can only be used on players and not on NPCs.

In this world, the players who could push Huang Yi to use his instakill skill are just those few super-first masters. Normal people are chopped dead by his ax in two hits, with no need to waste this skill on them.

"Big brother, can we go play with Little Dragon?" At this moment, Xiao Chunzi also teleported out from the Tower of Pantheons, appearing beside Huang Yi, holding his big hand, and looking up at him with a question.

"Sure! I’ve been on edge these past few days, it’d be nice to relax a little by playing with Little Dragon," Huang Yi nodded and stretched his body towards the blue sky.

Soon, the two teleported to their main territory together.

The bustle by their ears vanished in an instant, leaving only the serene chirping of birds in the woods, seemingly washing away the dust on their hearts and calming them down.

"Brother, Little Dragon has been naughty, you have to train it well!" As they walked, Xiao Chunzi held onto Huang Yi’s hand, tattling as they moved.

"Woof, woof!" Just then, barking sounds came from the depths of the forest, as if Little Wang was playing.

"Yi ya yi ya!" A milky dragon chant followed, undoubtedly Little Dragon’s voice, as if they were frolicking.

"These two little rascals! They don’t even play with me! Hmph!" Xiao Chunzi pouted, speaking indignantly.

Soon, Xiao Chunzi was pulling Huang Yi to the area where Little Wang and Little Dragon were. From a distance, Huang Yi saw two shadows flit through the forest, speeding their way towards them.

"Whoosh!" One shadow passed through a clump of bushes revealing itself—it was Little Wang. Looking up at Huang Yi, it wagged its tail excitedly, panting with its tongue out, and started running circles around him.

"Yi ya yi ya!" After a while, another pudgy little shadow finally burst out of the bushes.

This little one turned out to be Little Dragon; it waddled unsteadily, its little butt swinging, with short little wings on its back that couldn’t yet lift it into flight, walking like a penguin.

At this point, its pretty little golden body was already smeared with mud, dirtied all over, with a few strands of water grass on its head. Its sparkling, spirited eyes peeped out, looking mischievously playful, like a wild child running rampant everywhere.

"Ying!" Suddenly, Little Dragon stumbled and fell, tumbling a somersault with its pudgy belly, then scrambled back up. With a tough look, it approached Huang Yi and stretched out two little paws to cling to his trouser leg, looking up at him, seemingly wanting a hug.

"Little Dragon, have you been catching loaches in the mud pond again?" Xiao Chunzi saw Little Dragon’s dirty appearance and immediately scolded with a puffed-up anger, "You’re a dragon! How can you do such childish things?"

Little Dragon, hearing Xiao Chunzi’s scolding, immediately puffed up its belly, lowered its head, pouted, and seemed to be aware that it had done something wrong.

"Little Dragon, you can catch loaches? Not bad at all!" Huang Yi bent down to pick up Little Dragon, stroked its head, and laughed.

Xiao Chunzi stamped her foot and interjected, "Little Dragon is really good at catching loaches! It catches them for Little Wang to eat, and yesterday, it even brought some to me! But it doesn’t do anything serious, always engaging in such childish acts."

"Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!" As Xiao Chunzi finished speaking, Little Dragon’s belly suddenly made a noise, and it touched its stomach with a little paw, smacking its mouth as if it were very hungry.

"God of Slaughter, the Golden Holy Dragon needs Heaven and Earth Treasures to eat when transitioning from the Juvenile Phase to the Growth Phase! You’d better find some good stuff for it," Just then, a mighty voice came from the distance, and the sky darkened as a huge shadow cast down, revealing the approaching figure of the Undead Flying Dragon.

Hearing the Undead Flying Dragon’s words, Little Dragon in Huang Yi’s arms seemed to understand and nodded its head expectantly, looking up at Huang Yi, licking its lips with an obedient appearance.

"You want Heaven and Earth Treasures, huh?" Huang Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something! He flipped his palm and pulled out a box from his storage ring.

This scene immediately caught the attention of Little Dragon, Xiao Chunzi, and the Undead Flying Dragon; they all locked their gaze on the box.

The next moment, Huang Yi gently opened the box. Inside lay a heart, steadily beating, still very much alive.

"Such a strong aura of the Holy Domain!" The Undead Flying Dragon, as a Celestial Realm expert, instantly sensed the aura emanating from the heart, remarking in slight surprise.

Huang Yi nodded and explained, "This heart is called the Heart of the Sand Thief King. The Sand Thief King is a Holy Domain warrior of over level 170, inherently powerful. Furthermore, it made a contract with the King of the Fallen, gaining great strength, far surpassing warriors of the same Holy Domain rank, which is why the power of the Holy Domain in this heart is so dense. However, the corrupt aura in this heart has already been dispelled, so there’s no need to worry about its corruption. The rich aura contained within should be absorbable by Little Dragon, right?"

"Excellent! Excellent! Such a treasure is perfect for the Juvenile Phase of His Highness the Golden Holy Dragon!" The Undead Flying Dragon flapped its wings, expressing its admiration.

"Little Dragon, you can have this heart. I have dozens more, and if it’s not enough for you, I’ll give them all to you," Huang Yi said as he patted Little Dragon on the head and handed over the Heart of the Sand Thief King.

Little Dragon’s eyes lit up instantly, happily wagging its tail. It stood on its tiptoes and pecked Huang Yi on the cheek before it opened its little mouth and fiercely sucked in the Heart of the Sand Thief King.

In an instant, the Heart of the Sand Thief King was transformed into a ball of blood light that entered Little Dragon’s mouth and was completely absorbed.

Little Dragon licked its lips as if savoring the taste, then looked up at Huang Yi expectantly, seemingly wanting more.

"You got mud on my face!" Huang Yi wiped the spot where Little Dragon had kissed him and smeared off some dirt. But seeing Little Dragon’s expression, he softened again, petted its head, and said, "Alright, eat your fill!"

With that, he took out several more Hearts of the Sand Thief King from his storage ring and let Little Dragon absorb them all.

After absorbing four Hearts of the Sand Thief King, Little Dragon finally burped contentedly, closed its eyes, and snuggled into Huang Yi’s arms, falling into a deep sleep.

Just then, there was a trembling on Little Dragon’s forehead, and suddenly a golden light shone out, sparkling!

Huang Yi immediately looked down and saw a small, delicate golden scale had appeared on Little Dragon’s forehead!

It had finally grown its first Dragon Scale!

The corner of Huang Yi’s mouth twitched. The Heart of the Sand Thief King was so powerful, but Little Dragon had to absorb four such hearts just to grow a single scale. How many Heaven and Earth Treasures would be needed for it to fully grow all its scales? Huang Yi couldn’t even imagine.

Feeding a top-level member of the Dragon Clan was truly no easy task. When Little Dragon had hatched, it had already cost more than a thousand Holy Crystal Stones, thirty-six Sky Crystal Stones, and an enormous amount of the Dragon Clan’s blood essence. But that was just the beginning. Now, its growth needs seemed to be a bottomless pit.

"Sis, let me take you and Little Dragon to level grind!" Huang Yi said after playing for a while, patting Xiao Chunzi’s head.

Xiao Chunzi didn’t spend much time online and had few opportunities for leveling up. Her current level was quite low, a significant distance from the 100th level of the Holy Domain Rank.

"Aren’t you going to level up? Taking me will slow you down," Xiao Chunzi asked.

"Leveling up at this point doesn’t mean much to me anymore. No matter how much I grind, I will eventually be caught up by the regular players. I should take a break for a while and focus on raising Little Dragon’s level first," Huang Yi shook his head, having a clear plan.

"Then let’s go!" Xiao Chunzi didn’t refuse any further and immediately agreed.

Next, Huang Yi led Xiao Chunzi and Little Dragon, teleporting them to the 115th floor of the Tower of Pantheons’ five-person mode, beginning their quest to grind levels.

Huang Yi set the ratio for Experience Points distribution. He would allocate 70% of his gained Experience Points to Little Dragon, keeping only 30% for himself. He was essentially forgoing leveling up himself, greatly favoring Little Dragon’s advancement.

"Scorched Earth!"

"End of the World!"

"Storm of Thunder Clouds!"

"Judgment!"

With Huang Yi’s four massive area of effect abilities unleashed, a myriad of lights instantly covered over a thousand minor monsters. The scorching Magma sizzled as it burnt them; the booming Lightning numbed their bodies; and the Aeonic Plague Effect of Judgment drastically reduced their Health Points.

The pleasure of burning monsters with area effect skills was usually reserved for mages, but Huang Yi did it even better and more efficiently. His Status Level was too high, and these Level 120 Junior Holy Domain creatures didn’t stand a chance — they fell like wheat to the scythe, with the occasional sturdier Elite Monster only lasting a few seconds longer.

After slaying several hundred monsters, Little Dragon’s body finally flashed with golden light, leveling from Level 1 to Level 2.

Seeing such a slow leveling pace, Huang Yi’s mood became even graver. If it had been a normal pet, after killing so many monsters over 100 levels above its own, it would have gained Levels 12 to 20 by now, but Little Dragon’s progress was much slower.

Moreover, this was with him possessing the Level 90 Nefalem Bloodline Talent — "Demon God Contract." This talent greatly improved the strength of his Contract Partner and reduced the Experience required for leveling up by 80%!

That is to say, without this talent, he would need to spend four times the time to get Little Dragon to level up just once! (To be continued.
