The Almighty Ring

Chapter 803: Black Dragon Lair

Jiang Fei did not bother to wait for an answer and hung up the phone. There was something wrong, but he could not put a finger on it.

“How was it? When are they coming?”

“Tomorrow or the day after. They could not give me any details,” said Jiang Fei.

“Tomorrow… Alright!” Bai Wanli nodded. It would not be too much trouble if it were just two days. They could still hide from the Americans in that cave until support arrived.

“Let’s wait it out,” said Jiang Fei. According to Han Tianyu, the military wanted Jiang Fei to engage in a decisive fight with the Mutants before they sent in their soldiers. Jiang Fei was no idiot. He knew the dangers of facing the Mutants head-on and without support, it would be suicidal. Without military support, the Mutants would be fighting the martial artists with the American army. If that was the case, winning the war would not be as much a priority as surviving. Jiang Fei could predict that only 10% would survive if they won. Jiang Fei was worried about the martial artists, but he was more worried for his fellow Bio-Human girls.

Jiang Fei and the rest of the martial artists spent the entire day and night resting in the cave. Everyone had completely healed thanks to Jiang Fei’s “unlimited” supply of Grand Restore Pill. Even their qi was fully restored.

Even though everyone was ready to fight once more, they were not as keen as they were when they first landed in Japan. The smug, arrogant look on their face was gone. Even the young ones were exceptionally quiet when they were all complaining and bragging about killing mutants a few days before. Everyone then had experienced the real terror of war and had learned their lesson well.

When night came, Jiang Fei entered the game as per 0541’s request. He did not bother to even ask the reason why since 0541 would always reject a proper explanation. Even so, Jiang Fei knew that it was better to follow his advice since it was always for his own good.

When Jiang Fei logged in, everyone else was waiting for him. It was a new day, and the dragon lair dungeon would be opened for them to raid.

“Seven Star, what do you think about the new pet?” Jiang Fei asked with a crooked smile.

“Hehe! It’s nice. Besides burning a hole in my pocket, I’m extremely satisfied with everything else,” said Seven Star Warrior happily as he summoned the pet dragon to show Jiang Fei.

The little Bloodstain Light Dragon was no longer the small cute little dragon that everyone once knew. It was now a large, two-meter long juvenile dragon. Jiang Fei did not even have to ask. He knew that Seven Star Warrior had burnt through a mountain of cash to feed the dragon its current size.

“This little thing is as powerful as a fully grown Fine tier pet now. In just one more day, it will be as strong as an Epic tier pet. After that, I will need more time to earn more points to continue feeding it!” said Seven Star Warrior as he cringed at the thought of how expensive it was to raise a dragon pet. Half of all the Magic Crystals that Seven Star Warrior had exchanged for were eaten by the dragon. The other half was left to feed it today. If he wanted to see the dragon to grow stronger, he needed to earn more guild contribution points!

“Heh, good for you. Since there’s nothing else that you want, earning some contribution points would be worthwhile,” said Jiang Fei.

“Hehe. It is as you said. Alright, let’s get going!” said Seven Star Warrior. He un-summoned the dragon before moving. This little dragon was strong, but since it refused to attack other dragons, it would be useless for Seven Star Warrior to summon it then.

“Where is Lady Casanova? We’re going off!” said Jiang Fei in the guild channel.

“I’ll be right there! Wait for me!” cried Lady Casanova.

The group that Lady Casanova had gathered today had many new members. Many players had already obtained dragon eggs in yesterday’s raid hence those with pet eggs had dropped out of today’s raid to allow new players without pet eggs to join. They were fine as they were since Empyreal Dragon was much stronger than the other guild. They had more than a hundred players that were already Level 70 and higher.

With a new batch of players, Lady Casanova had informed Jiang Fei that the raid might be slower. However, since Jiang Fei was joining the raid, there was no need for the other members to fight. All they needed to do was stay alive until the dungeon was over.

“Alright. Let’s try the Black Dragon Lair today!” said Jiang Fei as the expedition had arrived at the entrance of the Dragon Lair.

“Geez! I can’t wait to get my own pet dragon!”

“Me too!”

“Get in line pal.”

“Relax, the guild master is here. We’ll each get one eventually!”

***

Everyone was excited. After yesterday’s success, many players had flaunted their dragon pets when they returned to the Demon Dragon Fortress. The new players then were really excited since with the guild master was there, they would surely be obtaining a new pet that day!

When Jiang Fei and his fellow guildmates arrived at the entrance of the dragon Lairs, a few other guilds had noticed their presence.

“Oh sh*t… It’s them again!”

“Dude… If they keep it up like that, we might not even get to clear the Blue Dragon Lair before they do!”

“That’s right. Verdure Glider is such a tyrant! He’s hogging all the good stuff to himself! What about the rest of us?”

“Know yourself, plebs. At least he gave us a chance to raid the easier dungeon! If he had started from the easiest one, we would not even have a chance to raid them!”

***

The return of Empyreal Dragon to the dragon Lairs had triggered many other disgruntled players. It was a love-hate relationship. Many of them could not hate the Empyreal Dragon, but they could not accept the fact that Jiang Fei was indeed, hogging all the good stuff to himself! Naturally, it was that Jiang Fei had not given others a chance. As such, many of his fans in other guilds had defended him.

“Everyone ready?” Jiang Fei shouted. He then proceeded into the dungeon without even listening to what other guilds were gossiping about him.

“Alright folks. Don’t die yeah!” said Lady Casanova to the members.

Like other dungeons, there was a buffer zone right after the entrance to allow players to get ready before engaging the dungeon.

“Huh… This dungeon is about the same as the Light Dragon Lair,” said Little Rain.

Appearance-wise, the dungeon was indeed similar to the Light Dragon Lair. Four Draconian Guards stood at the next section of the dungeon. The only difference was their color and attributes. They were perhaps even stronger…

Draconian Guard (Shadow) (Humanoid, Lord)

Level: 80

Health Points: 70,000,000

Attack Power: 7,500

Skills: Speed Slash, Bash, Deathly Strike, Shared Life

Speed Slash: Attacks all targets in a 45-degree cone-shaped area.

Bash: Attacks a target and clear all aggro value.

Deathly Strike: Attacks a target strongly and decrease all healing effect for 80%.

Shared Life: All four guards share the same health pool.

The properties of this Draconian Guard was similar to the Light Dragon Lair. However, these would not be enraged and become stronger when one of its allies died in battle, these ones shared the same health pool, which in terms, cannot be killed one at a time.

“Meh. Nothing special. Let me handle this!” said Jiang Fei as he shrugged nonchalantly before launching his attack on them.
