Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 559, The Outpost of the Divine Fall Wilderness

Translator: Silavin

In the Divine Fall Wilderness, there were well over a hundred outposts scattered throughout various locations.

Among these outposts, some had been established long ago, positioned at the outer perimeter of the Divine Fall Wilderness.

Those who came here were mostly seeking Map Resources that had already been developed, Players who came to collect materials and Level up.

As for those new outposts, they were naturally located in the deepest parts of the Divine Fall Wilderness, specifically prepared for those ventures in exploration.

Along the way, people continuously disembarked from the coach bus at intermediate stops, remaining at the early outpost points rather than continuing deeper.

Lu Fan’s target was naturally the outpost in the deepest part of Divine Fall Wilderness, so he had been sitting on the bus for nearly a full day and still had not reached his final destination.

On the bus, apart from Lu Fan, there was only a four-man team.

These four were all Third Profession Players, with rather impressive equipment. Without having to ask, one knew that in their Inventory, they must have prepared quite a few powerful items.

These four were likely Players going to the depths of the Divine Fall Wilderness to explore; for exploration, they would naturally carry many pieces of equipment and items.

As the bus entered the depths of the Divine Fall Wilderness, Lu Fan clearly noticed that the driver in front was becoming increasingly odd in his expression, occasionally turning his head to look at him and the other four Players.

Lu Fan wore a full set of Epic Grade and above equipment. Although he had not made his information public, just looking at the appearance of his equipment revealed its considerable value. Therefore, Lu Fan could tell that this driver had most likely conceived of some crooked ideas.

However, Lu Fan did not show any reaction, just quietly half-lying on his seat, pretending to doze off.

After all, through the Map, he had already discovered that although the direction the coach bus was heading was not towards the last outpost, it was getting closer and closer to the coordinates where the Blade Armour Dragon King was located.

In that case, it was actually a good thing fo0r him, as the final outpost would certainly have Players from Cherry Blossom Country stationed there.

If these people were to check the Player information of those heading to the outpost, Lu Fan’s identity as ‘Dragon Country Spark’ would surely be exposed.

Although this possibility was not high, Lu Fan did not want to cause too much trouble in the Cherry Blossom Country. He just wanted to come here to take the Dragon Egg, nothing more.

The bus travelled for a while longer, and the other four Players, originally chatting and laughing, gradually realised that the current direction of the bus was getting further and further away from the last outpost and thus became alarmed.

They were not particularly old, appearing to be around thirty, very likely graduating students from some University in the Cherry Blossom Country, who were participating in exploration projects to earn Points.

Students staying at school, though strong, lack social experience, which was why they were slow to realise and now only noticed that something was strange about this bus.

“Hey driver, we are heading in the wrong direction, you know? I just opened my Map and checked, and the direction we’re currently heading towards isn’t to Outpost 138. What’s going on?” A tall man spoke up first, asking with furrowed brows.

This person had the Highest Level and should be the leader of these four.

The driver, with a cigarette in his mouth, turned his head to look and explained casually. “It’s normal for us to go a bit off course, considering this is the Wilderness. There are only a few roads that vehicles can travel on, how could we possibly ensure we drive straight towards the outpost? Just sit back and relax, I’ll call you when we reach our destination.”

At this point, beside the tall man was a short-haired female Mage of passable appearance who looked quite strong. She loudly warned, “But the road you’re taking isn’t even a designated route to the outpost! Stop the bus! I want to compare the Map with our surroundings and check if you’re following the normal route!”

The other two also nodded secretly, their expressions solemn.

In the Wilderness, anything could happen. Monsters roamed freely here, so one had to be careful. Although the vehicle everyone was riding was an official one, who could guarantee that nothing unexpected would occur? After all, if one died in the Wilderness, no one would discover the cause of death.

The driver, facing such questioning, gradually became displeased, saying nothing while secretly pressing harder on the accelerator.

Seeing that the driver remained silent and the speed increased, all four simultaneously felt uneasy.

The tall man was a Swordsman; he equipped his long sword directly and in two steps came to the driver’s seat, angrily shouting. “I’m ordering you to immediately stop the bus! You’re just a Level 20 garbage with a Lifestyle Specialised Profession, while I’m at Level 63 with a Combat Specialised Profession. With one sword, I can easily take your life, do understand me!? Now, just follow my orders, or I’ll kill you. It will be as easy as crushing an ant!”

The tall man was a Swordsman. Meanwhile, as a staff member, the driver’s details were displayed above his head. So, anyone could see that he was just a Level 20 Herbalist with no Combat Power to speak of.

The tall man was confident that he would need just one sword strike to kill such an insect. But what he did not know was that Lu Fan had seen through this ruse early on, detecting that this driver was not as simple as he appeared to be.

Seeing a long sword held at his neck, the driver’s expression grew increasingly dark, but he did slam on the brakes, bringing the bus to a stop.

The tall man smiled, thinking his threat had worked.

Just as he was about to threaten the driver to get off the bus and explain why he had deviated from the designated route, a complex Array suddenly appeared in the driver’s hand, which he then pressed onto the bus.

Before the tall man could react, everyone on the bus felt a pulling sensation, as if passing through a Transport Array, with the scenery around them instantly changing.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was transported to a dense forest, with an Array the size of a football field beneath their feet.

Everyone had been transported here by some sort of Skill, and not far from their original location.

However, having a Skill that could forcibly transport others surprised Lu Fan a little. [As I thought. That man was not as simple as he seemed. He has a Hidden Profession.]

At this moment, the tall man and others were all stunned, only coming to their senses a moment later, realising that the situation was wrong!

The formidable short-haired woman from earlier checked her body and anxiously said. “Something’s wrong! My Attributes have dropped by more than half, and I can’t use any of my Third Profession Skills!”

The others also checked their Attribute Panel and found it was as she had said.

The tall man’s expression became even more unpleasant, but before he could speak, the voice of the driver from earlier came from not far away. “To think you’ve only noticed a problem now. Fools, isn’t it a bit too late?”
