125: Chapter 125 The Dragon’s Treasure”Damn... Why?!”

”What’s wrong, Fu Hao?”

Seeing the system notification, Fu Hao let out a cry of despair, and Yongyuan immediately sensed the sudden change in atmosphere.

The notification didn’t explain the specific reason why the teleportation gem failed to activate, but Fu Hao already had an answer in his mind—judging by Xiao Jin’s traits, dragons were born as the embodiment of magic.

If even the young dragon Xiao Jin could cast ancient magic at will, how could an adult dragon be ignorant of magic?

Clearly, Mei had placed some kind of magic blockade over the entire lair.

To verify his conjecture, Fu Hao immediately summoned the phantom of Emperor Endel to ask for the truth.

Sure enough, the Emperor’s reply confirmed his speculation: Mei controlled the flow of all magic within the lair, and without her permission, no magic, skill, or item that used magic as a medium could be cast.

”So...” Fu Hao informed Yongyuan of the situation.

”Our escape plan... failed?”

”Yeah, looks like we’ll be experiencing slave life starting today, hahaha.”

”...Fu Hao, how can you still laugh at a time like this?”

”...”

The conversation between the two was like a basin of ice water, completely extinguishing the fire of hope that had just ignited among the elves.

Those expectant gazes froze instantly, replaced by a despair deeper than before.

But for the elves, who were already accustomed to slave life and had no obligation to save the world, they didn’t lament like Fu Hao and the other, but silently retreated to the corners of the cell, like walking corpses.

Although the sight was heartbreaking, Fu Hao and Yongyuan had no extra energy to console them—in a situation where they could barely protect themselves, and having already made an agreement with the elves to ”assist in the escape,” there was no need to put on a facade.

The urgent priority was to formulate a new escape plan.

”Rather than being a dragon’s slave, I’d rather just quit the game right now! I’m done playing!”

”Don’t be impulsive, we still have a chance.”

”Then tell me, besides the teleportation gem, what other methods are there?”

”Methods? None for now... It needs to be replanned. Let’s observe the situation first before deciding.”

Although being captured by the dragon was not his intention, Fu Hao firmly believed there must be a way to escape—it might just take a few weeks to find a breakthrough.

He turned to the elves huddled in the corner and asked about the dragon’s true purpose for enslaving them.

Initially, the elves were tight-lipped about Mei’s intentions, but only after Yongyuan strictly questioned them in her capacity as the current Elf King did they speak up tremblingly:

”Lady Mei... is absorbing our innate elemental affinity. The reason is unknown, but she seems to need this power very much.”

When the elves mentioned the dragon’s name, their voices carried an instinctive awe.

Fu Hao was shocked: ”Absorbing elemental affinity?”

He originally thought the dragon was simply collecting beautiful races as slaves; he hadn’t expected that the elves’ very foundation of survival was being plundered.

Elemental affinity was like a second life to the elves; being continuously absorbed would cause them to gradually weaken until death.

”Fortunately, the absorption speed is very slow, which is why we’ve survived until now... but we won’t be able to hold on much longer. Please find a way to escape as soon as possible, otherwise you and His Majesty the Elf King will also...”

Since the Human-Demon War, the elves had been isolated from the outside world and were completely unaware of the players’ ability to experience Resurrection.

Fu Hao suddenly had a flash of inspiration: ”Wait, if the elemental affinity is drained, maybe we can actually break free from our slave status?”

But escaping alone was meaningless.

Just as he was thinking about how to utilize the player characteristics, alarm bells suddenly rang in his mind—he had been transformed into an elf for too long and had almost forgotten that, in essence, he had no elemental affinity!

Once discovered, he would likely be expelled from the lair, and it would be even harder to rescue these elves from the outside.

At this critical moment, magic puppets suddenly appeared and took all the elves, including Fu Hao and Yongyuan, out of the cell.

While passing through the dark corridor, Fu Hao keenly noticed a large number of research facilities and remains of unknown creatures distributed on both sides.

Ultimately, they were brought before Mei—or to be precise, brought before a mountain of piled-up treasure.

What looked like undulating terrain from a distance was, upon closer inspection, a mountain of treasure piled up with countless gems, gold, and artifacts!

Its value far exceeded all the wealth Fu Hao had accumulated in the game, and perhaps the key materials needed to craft artifacts were hidden within it.

But right now, escape was the top priority.

After being brought before Mei, she first attempted to absorb Fu Hao’s elemental affinity, but unexpectedly failed: ”Hmm? Why can’t I absorb it?”

Just as Fu Hao was about to explain, Mei saw through the truth even faster: ”Dispel!”

As the spell fell, Fu Hao’s elf disguise instantly disintegrated, and he returned to his human form.

”Damn! How dare you deceive me!” Mei’s anger erupted instantly, and she unleashed a destructive magic without hesitation.

[Received 10,485,200 damage from Nature’s Force.]

This astonishing damage value made Fu Hao scream—he had never taken damage in the tens of millions before!

But at this life-or-death moment:

[”Red Iron Breastplate (+10)” effect triggered, immune to damage and gained 10 seconds of invincibility.]

At the critical moment, Fu Hao quickly pulled out the teleportation gem.

Why take it out when he knew it couldn’t be used? Because he had one last trump card—”Magic Order” skill.

This was a secret technique learned from Emperor Endel, capable of granting immunity to others’ interference with magic at the moment of activation and for a short time thereafter.

Although the teleportation gem and the magic taught by the Emperor were Fu Hao’s strongest trump cards, they were also the easiest to be countered and broken.

Precisely because of this, he chose ”Magic Order,” a seemingly inconspicuous ability that could save his life at a critical moment.

”At this point, I can only gamble.”

Although the skill could only be applied to himself, it was better than sitting and waiting for death.

After activating ”Magic Order,” Fu Hao immediately started the teleportation gem.

Amidst Mei’s continuous terrifying magical bombardment, his figure gradually became transparent and finally disappeared completely.

Meanwhile, Mei’s exquisite dragon face twisted beyond recognition—because she clearly sensed that the aura which had just disappeared from in front of her had now appeared inside her bedroom, which she regarded as her treasure vault!
