Chapter 1536: The Dragon’s Tribulation
“Ha!!”
When he heard w.a.n.g Yu’s words, Blossoming Moon laughed coldly, “You’re insane!”
“The same can be said of you!”
w.a.n.g Yu smirked dryly.
This kid needed a good lesson. Clearly, he was the one who picked a fight and accused w.a.n.g Yu of going too far.
No matter how tolerant w.a.n.g Yu was, one could tell how decisive he was by how he could destroy several streets single-handedly. If he weren’t at the Giant Dragon Tribe’s Stronghold, w.a.n.g Yu would have taught him the true meaning of nightmare right there and then.
“Brave warriors, please stop fighting!”
Just as w.a.n.g Yu and Blossoming Moon were about to start a heated argument, Manda interfered, “Since both of you are so pa.s.sionate, the Demon Tribe would like to present you with this opportunity.”
“Ohh? What do you mean by that?”
w.a.n.g Yu’s eyes lit up as he narrowed his eyes and asked.
Manda stared at w.a.n.g Yu and asked, “What did you come to Giant Dragon Castle for?”
“The Holy Demon Armament Blueprints.”
Without waiting for w.a.n.g Yu’s response, Prairie Fire spoke up first.
The Holy Demon Armament was equipment meant for the Devil Race and Holy Sect. In the players’ terms, it was a G.o.d-grade equipment.
It was said that during the Great Holy Demon War, many Holy Demons battled and died. As a result, Holy Demon Armaments were scattered in different locations of the world. They were called Ancient and Legendary equipment.
At the time, numerous Treasure Explorers tried their luck at the Great Holy Demon War. Naturally, the tribe that loved scavenging treasures most, the Giant Dragon Tribe, was there too.
Using the Holy Demons’ power, the Giant Dragon Tribe collected numerous valuable weapons. Afterwards, darkness fell and with the pressure from the Martial G.o.d, the Giant Dragon Tribe lost all the G.o.d-grade equipment. However, a set of G.o.d-grade Holy Demon Armament Blueprints remained in the Giant Dragon Tribe’s Stronghold.
The Giant Dragon Tribe was strong. Even though there were ability trees for magic skills and martial skills, the Giant Dragon Tribe didn’t know how to use them.
These giant lizards were lazy, greedy, and prideful. Even if they knew that these blueprints were used to create the Holy Demon Armament, they were too lazy to do it. Furthermore, they were reluctant to let go of such a precious resource. On top of that, they disliked the idea of learning skills from a different tribe. As a result, this set of blueprints were buried with the Giant Dragon Tribe.
Since Prairie Fire completed a quest and obtained the Giant Dragon Tribe’s invitation, he obtained the qualification to obtain the Holy Demon Armament Blueprints from Dragon Island.
Similarly, Blossoming Moon and his team came for the same reason.
Since it was the Holy Demon Armament, they could create a full set of G.o.d-grade equipment as long as they found a good Blacksmith.
A full set of G.o.d-grade equipment would be phenomenal. It was no wonder that Prairie Fire put in so much effort to come to Giant Dragon Castle despite the danger.
“That’s right!”
Manda nodded, “These Holy Demon Armament Blueprints are unique. Even though there’s a full set, there’s only one blueprint. Also, it can’t be split. Normally, since the Starry Sky City warriors arrived first, we should offer them the opportunity to complete the tribulation. However, since Sir Iron Bull is a friend of our beloved emperor, we decided to make an exception. We’ll give both your teams the same opportunity to attempt this tribulation.”
Everyone knew that even though <> players didn’t have translation technology amongst players, NPCs had multi-translation capabilities. While w.a.n.g Yu and the others heard Chinese, Blossoming Moon and the others heard their own language.
When they heard Manda’s words, Blossoming Moon and the others revealed expressions of rage as they glared at w.a.n.g Yu and the others angrily.
If they thought about it, it was reasonable. At first, this tribulation task was only meant for one team. As long as they pa.s.sed, they could obtain the blueprints…
However, another team came out of nowhere to contest for it. It wasn’t just a simple tribulation anymore. Instead, they had to compete and perform better than their opponent.
Blossoming Moon and the others were confident about their own abilities. However, now that a variable entered the picture, they felt pressured and upset.
Even though they weren’t sure if Manda said this on purpose, Blossoming Moon and his team’s rage was in full force now.
While Manda spoke, a 3-D holographic map appeared before w.a.n.g Yu and the others.
Manda pointed at the map, “This is Dragon Valley. There are two entrances; one is in the west, and the other is in the east. In the north, there’s Dark Demon Dragon Aitas’ cave. The Holy Demon Armament Blueprints are inside!”
With that, Manda pointed at the Southernmost exit, “Once you’ve obtained the blueprints, you will be ruthlessly pursued by Aitas. As long as you make it out of the Southern exit, you pa.s.s the tribulation…”
As he said this, Manda paused and continued, “Of course, there’s only one blueprint. The team that walks out with the blueprint will get the blueprint. Understood?”
“Yes, understood!”
The two squads responded immediately.
In reality, the tribulation wasn’t complicated at all. To put it simply, all they had to do was kill Aitas and obtain the blueprints. Then, break through their opponents and step out of Dragon Valley with the blueprints.
It wasn’t a complicated task, but it had a pretty high difficulty. Not to mention Dark Demon Dragon Aitas, the subsequent events made everyone feel uneasy.
No matter how powerful an NPC was, they were just NPCs. The most dangerous ones were obviously opposing players. Being able to make it to Giant Dragon Castle from Dragon Island’s teleportation point meant that both teams weren’t too weak. Not only did they have to avoid the other team’s players’ attacks, they had to avoid dying to Aitas as well. This increased the difficulty by another fold.
When they thought about this, Blossoming Moon and the others’ gazes filled with even more hatred.
“Brother Bull, can we do it?” Prairie Fire asked nervously. “They’re not easy to deal with.”
Wasn’t that true? Even though Blossoming Moon and the others were proud, it wasn’t as if they couldn’t live up to their bluffing.
Gold Young Dragon wasn’t that great, but he was still a LV100 BOSS. The fact that he was able to pound Gold Young Dragon to the point that he dared not reveal himself meant that his abilities were already at a professional league’s standard.
Furthermore, with w.a.n.g Yu, their progress was already exceedingly fast. However, Blossoming Moon and the others came to Giant Dragon Castle before them. Clearly, their abilities were much stronger than their imagination.
Not to mention there was still Dark Demon Dragon Aitas in Dragon Valley. Even if they pulled the map apart and made Prairie Fire and his team fight against Blossoming Moon and his team, they weren’t confident at all.
Prairie Fire and the others defeated professional players on several occasions in the past. However, as they travelled with w.a.n.g Yu, they fully understood the difference between themselves and top-tier professional league players.
Of course, if they were fighting against other professionals, it wouldn’t be as big of a problem. The biggest problem was that these players were adamant to have a bout with w.a.n.g Yu. Other professional players would have chosen to save their own pride. This meant that their original confidence disappeared long ago. In the face of an expert like Blossoming Moon, it was natural for them to feel inferior and lack confidence.
That was because in Prairie Fire and the others’ eyes, top-tier professional players were of the same standard as w.a.n.g Yu…
Blossoming Moon and the others were clearly top-tier players like him. One w.a.n.g Yu was already terrifying. A squad of w.a.n.g Yus would be completely uncontrollable…
As he thought about this, a series of chills travelled down Prairie Fire’s spine.
