Heroes' Prison

Chapter 631 - 606: The Magical Potion

Upon saying that, the Queen’s body instantly transformed into a vast golden aura, the accumulated Dragon Force of a Golden Holy Dragon’s corpse that had been preserved for countless years! This Dragon Force was as vast as the ocean, the life-long strength of a Golden Holy Dragon, and at this moment, it all poured into the Little Dragon without any reservation!

Such immense Dragon Force formed an invisible vortex, the golden currents so fierce that rocks on both sides of the valley tumbled down, and the warm sunshine was blocked, failing to penetrate! Within this massive vortex, the Little Dragon was the absolute center, with all the Dragon Force rushing towards it, seeping into its body!

"My baby... you must... remember me..."

Finally, the Queen uttered her last sound, echoing faintly between heaven and earth, and then completely vanished without a trace.

She had waited here for innumerable years, just to see her child one last time, a moment that was so fleeting; a mother had thus parted from her child forever.

Watching this scene, Huang Yi was suddenly reminded of his mother in The Second World, time flies, and they had been separated for over a year now. It was supposed to be a virtual emotion, but it felt as if it had truly existed in his heart, as if he really had a mother.

He looked up at the sky, but could not see the faraway Divine Realm, wondering how his mother was doing now.

At this moment, the Little Dragon was still absorbing the immense and pure Dragon Force in the valley. This vast power triggered its rapid growth; its Scales emerged like bamboo after a spring rain, with gold light flickering incessantly, nearly dozens of scales crazily sprouting every second!

Soon, its whole little head was covered in golden Scales, far surpassing the combined effect of all the Heaven and Earth Treasures that Huang Yi had fed it earlier!

That’s not all; the skin on its body that was covered with Black Phoenix feathers also suddenly shone with golden light, transforming into golden Scales! The golden Scales spread from the Little Dragon’s head to its neck, to its little claws, little wings, little belly, back, tail... spreading to every part of the body!

Finally, the massive Dragon Force was completely absorbed by the Little Dragon, and every inch of its body grew golden Dragon Scales, as if it was wearing a set of exquisite golden Armor, tightly protecting it!

And within the gaps of these golden Dragon Scales were neat rows of Black Phoenix feathers, covering the golden Scales beneath, with only a hint of golden light visible from within. Its whole body, except for its claws and head, which had no feathers and remained golden yellow, was covered in this way.

The Little Dragon now possessed both Dragon Scales and Phoenix feathers, and based on appearances alone, it was difficult to associate it with a Golden Holy Dragon, or a Phoenix. Outsiders, upon seeing it, would just think it was beautiful and assume it was a rare creature.

But Huang Yi knew that the Little Dragon now had limitless potential. It had already mutated once due to absorbing his Nefalem’s Bloodline. Now, having absorbed the Black Phoenix incarnation of the King of Curses, growing Black Phoenix feathers in the process was another mutation, leaving its future growth to anyone’s guess.

"Yiya yiya!" At this moment, the Little Dragon burped contentedly, then flapped its little wings and flew into Huang Yi’s arms, happily nuzzling its little head against him.

Huang Yi reached out and stroked the Little Dragon’s Black Phoenix feathers, which were extremely smooth, exuding a deeply hidden, pure Dark Breath. The Little Dragon now somewhat resembled Nefalem, possessing both the Holy Aura of a Golden Holy Dragon and the Dark Breath of the Demon Realm, like The Seven Archdemons. However, there was no sign of its body growing any larger; it still maintained the appearance of a small Dragon Baby.

"First you absorbed the incarnation of the King of Curses, then inherited your mother’s Dragon Force. Any other Golden Holy Dragon should have advanced to the Growth Phase by now, so why haven’t you ascended?" Huang Yi looked at the Little Dragon curiously and asked.

"Yiya yiya!" The Little Dragon, seemingly not understanding, just cried innocently and then stretched its neck to kiss Huang Yi on the lips.

"No matter what, I believe you are the strongest!" Huang Yi said with a slight smile, holding the Little Dragon tightly. The Little Dragon had undergone mutations and was probably at a critical juncture for leveling up, making it much harder for it to progress to the Growth Phase than other Golden Holy Dragons. However, the more difficult the ascension, the stronger it usually became afterward. The Little Dragon was close to a breakthrough, and although it had not ascended yet, that moment could come at any time.

At this moment, the sun shone brightly, and the heavy clouds that had accompanied the dispersal of the King of Curses’ incarnation had dissipated, the warm sunshine pouring down once again, making everything seem like a distant memory, as if all that had happened was but a dream.

"Little Dragon, let’s go home!" Huang Yi patted the Little Dragon’s head and then stowed it away.

Straight away, his true body used Hero’s Teleportation targeting Qin Shiyu, leaving the far depths of the Demonic Beast Mountain Range and returning to Dragon City.

Meanwhile, his incarnation used the Godslayer’s Mark to teleport to the mountain peak where Lu Ye was, appearing beside that thatched cottage.

"Cang Cang, you go catch me a bird egg, or I won’t like you anymore!"

"Alright! Just wait for me a moment!"

"Remember, I want the Golden Bird’s eggs! If it’s too dangerous, I’ll ask brother Shadowmaster for help!"

As soon as Huang Yi appeared on the hilltop, he heard the voices of the little girl Jiu Li and the little boy Zhu Cang, who were standing under a pine tree, holding hands and talking.

"Huh? Big brother is here!" Just then, Jiu Li spotted Huang Yi and sweetly called out.

Huang Yi nodded toward the two children and asked, "Where’s your master?"

"He’s in the hut doing experiments!" Jiu Li obediently replied.

Huang Yi turned to look inside the thatched hut, where the door was slightly ajar, letting out a cacophony of noises.

He tiptoed over, pushed open the door, and entered the hut.

"I think the reason our last experiment failed is because we didn’t add Murloc tears; otherwise, we might have been able to create even stronger Legendary Water."

"That’s not necessarily true, the acidity of Murloc tears is too strong, it would be better to use lizard blood as a substitute."

"Why not consider adding Dragon Beard Grass? Plant juices are much gentler than animal bodily fluids."

...

At this moment, a wave of discussion was emanating from the crude laboratory in the compartment. Huang Yi went in to see that Lu Ye, Alchemist Singid, Zaun Madman Doctor Mundo, Plant Elf. Green Vine, Toxic Sorcerer Liselle, Biochemist Philip, and a bunch of other research fanatics were gathered around a belt on the table, having a heated debate about something.

"What are you discussing?" Huang Yi walked over and asked with interest.

"God of Slaughter, you’re here!" Lu Ye, upon seeing Huang Yi’s arrival, immediately picked up the belt on the table and explained, "When I was in Auroyass World, I had been collecting the essences of various plants to develop a potion capable of enhancing the power of an ordinary equipment to the might of Legendary Equipment, but it never succeeded. Since these colleagues joined me, I’ve shared my research findings, and together we’ve reformed the recipe. After many trials consuming all the solutions I had prepared, we achieved some results, but not complete success. We’re now discussing ways to improve it!" Saying this, Lu Ye handed the belt to Huang Yi.

"Oh? There’s such a magical potion?" Huang Yi’s interest was piqued, and he took the belt to examine it.

Upon examining, Huang Yi noticed the quality of this belt was indeed that of Legendary Equipment, but its Attribute Bonus wasn’t high, even lower than the lowest tier of Legendary Equipment he had seen. Moreover, it didn’t have any Attached Skills, like it was the kind of Legendary Equipment whose skills had been stripped away. Another important point was that this piece of Legendary Equipment had a fixed Level of 55, which couldn’t be upgraded as the player’s Level Up. All in all, its value wasn’t much higher than that of Orange Gear.

However, it was still quite remarkable, since this equipment had been elevated to Legendary status by Lu Ye and his team; it was just an ordinary piece of equipment before, possibly Blue Gear or Purple Gear, and now had been transformed into Legendary. There probably weren’t many NPCs in The Second World capable of this.

"If this potion is indeed developed, wouldn’t it be possible to mass-produce Legendary Equipment?" Huang Yi continued to inquire.

"Theoretically, yes, as long as there is enough raw material, it can be continuously made. However, the raw materials are hard to come by." At that moment, the Alchemist nodded in agreement.

"How long do you estimate it’ll take to develop this potion? I can try my best to procure the raw materials," Huang Yi immediately took interest, realizing that once the potion was developed, the strength of their Hero Guild would surge dramatically.

"You won’t be able to get them!" Lu Ye shook his head, "Many of the materials are unique to Auroyass World. The solution I used for the experiments was prepared long ago and only required the addition of new materials. But now, that solution has been depleted, and I can’t return to Auroyass World any time soon. I only have these plant seeds that have been planted, and it will take a long time for them to take root and sprout before we can continue our research."

"Alright, but I’ll take this piece of Legendary Equipment. I just happen to need some Legendary Equipment," Huang Yi said, stowing the Legendary Belt into his storage ring, planning to burn it as soon as he obtained the fourth part of the Bloodstained War Halberd, to restore its power.

Next, Huang Yi looked around the laboratory at the group of research enthusiasts and posed the purpose of his visit, "Does anyone of you have a way to lift the curse of the King of Curses?"
