The Viper Guardian
Verlianna and the three of them arrived at a cave covered with icicles. There was a creature that was made out of white crystal and minerals standing in the middle of the cave.
“That’s not a dragon. Why does it differ from what Lele imagine? Shouldn’t dragon be like those roaring, arrogant, intimidating lizard or snake-like creature with wings and a big a.s.s? This looks like a bird to me. It’s impossible to trick Lele! Lele is an art student!” Verlianna was shocked upon hearing what Lin Le said.
Ye Cang then identified it. “It’s indeed a type of dragon but it’s called viper. It has the dragon’s bloodline.”
Ice Crystal Viper - Anba.s.s (Special Field - Leader - Dragon-Type - Crystal): A descendant of a Ice Crystal Bird and a Wind Dragon. It has the ice crystal attributes of a Ice Crystal Bird and the strong wind attribute of a Wind Dragon. Its ice heart and eyes are very rare ingredients. It’s stronger than an Ice Crystal Bird but weaker than a Wind Dragon. Yet, its overall strength is not bad. It inherits the guardian characteristic of an Ice Crystal Bird. Its damage isn’t high and it won’t attack unless it is provoked. There is no obvious weakness. Immune to ice and water elemental magic. Fire elemental damage will be slightly higher than the other elements. Friendly reminder: this viper might have undergone mutation.
“I’ve heard that the dragons in the west are very h.o.r.n.y and perverted. They make out with any…” As Zhang Zhengxiong mumbled, Verlianna rolled her eyes against him. “The dragons in the east aren’t any better though. There are dragons that give birth to nine children, some look like a tortoise and some look like a dog. All kinds of creatures. G.o.d knows what they did?”
“You are discriminating against the Chinese culture…” Ye Cang turned around and said.
“You guys started it first!” Verlianna was speechless.
“If I’m a dragon, that would be great. I could do anything…” Zhang Zhengxiong’s words stunned the two of them who were about to fight. He then sighed. “Children make mistakes. Children make mistakes.” (he called himself a child because he is a ‘scout’)
“Brother Lil’Xiong wants to become a dragon? Lele only wishes to practice the Exploring-A-New-World Art to master level…” Zhang Zhengxiong was stunned at Lin Le’s words and turned around guiltily.
“Alright, let’s discuss our strategy on killing it.” Ye Cang said seriously.
Verlianna thought they were crazy. Even if you guys are the three emperors or even if you guys have three different hero talents or skills, it’s impossible to defeat it. Not to mention, our lineup lacks a healer which is on the same rank as you guys. Only Chrysanthemum Emperor and those people from the Golden Era could defeat these kinds of special field bosses. There aren’t many who can defeat it by themselves.
“Brother, how about this? Either Lele or I endure the damage, you or I do the healing, you or Lele deals the damage.” Zhang Zhengxiong came up with a normal strategy. Meanwhile, Verlianna stared at him. You? Healing?
“What are you looking at? I’m a priest, okay? I’m good at healing!” Verlianna could not help but laugh at Zhang Zhengxiong’s words. “Priest? Isn’t that what you pretend to be?”
“I’m not pretending. I’m really a priest. A priest with a high const.i.tution. That’s all.” Zhang Zhengxiong showed his real cla.s.s badge to her and Verlianna became speechless. This fella is really a priest?!
“Lele, what do you think?” Sitting on a rock, Ye Cang looked at Lin Le.
“Brother Lil’White, Lele thinks that we can disguise this lady as a female dragon and give her to the boss. See whether or not it is willing to give us equipments and rewards.” Lin Le suddenly expressed his opinions like a strategist.
“......” Verlianna was stunned as she saw Lin Le’s serious look on giving strategies. Is this really the King of Heavy Weapon - Root Emperor - Mad Devil Le?!
“Lele’s idea is not bad. That’s plan B. I’ll talk to it first, see whether or not it will give us the equipment and rewards. It’s better to persuade rather than to battle since we are highly-educated people.” Ye Cang’s words caused Verlianna to recall the rumors about them. Are you sure you guys are highly-educated?! Do highly-educated people block the resp.a.w.n point in every match?! “How are you going to talk?”
“I know draconic.” Ye Cang brushed his beautiful spiritual wolf-head hood and walked forward in the snow.
Once again, Verlianna rolled her eyes. Will this fella die without acting for once?
Standing in front of the Ice Crystal Statute, Ye Cang looked at the eye of the ice storm.
The three of them were staring at Ye Cang as he spoke to Anba.s.s which just resurrected. What came to their surprise was that the two of them were sitting on the rocks and chit-chatting. At last, Anba.s.s let out a joyful cry and all the ice crystals went flying.
“Congratulations. You’ve successfully persuaded Anba.s.s to be the Guardian of the Shrine in SIlver Dragon City! Level +2! Immediately receive a hero skill! Skill points +5! Talent points +5! Randomly obtain a diamond-ranked leader cla.s.s equipment! Reputation in Silver Dragon City +30,000!”
Verlianna was stunned at those great rewards. What just happened?!
“Brother, how did you persuade it?!” Zhang Zhengxiong asked Ye Cang.
“Actually, it’s very lonely. It is standing here every day, hoping there will be someone to talk to. Yet, a lot of people only want to attack it. Coincidentally, it was raised by a human called Tuloss. There was once a war here and Tuloss died. The corpse was nowhere to be found so it has been guarding this place ever since. It feels lonely as it has nowhere to go to. So, I asked it to come to the Half-moon shrine and be the direct guardian of Aymuss, responsible for security matters in Silver Dragon City. I also told him that the salary there is high, benefits are great and their lack of moonlight crystals. If it comes, everyone will worship it. Also, this fella is humorous. Its jokes are really funny. It said there was once a bald rabbit monster and a reptile having s.e.x…” Ye Cang shrugged his shoulders and smiled as he spoke. Verlianna then interrupted him. “It itself is a moonlight crystal?”
“Do all people named Rose like to interrupt others when they are telling a very funny joke?! All the crystals surrounding us are not ice crystal, they are all moonlight crystals. Even though some are considered ice crystals, they are influenced by the moonlight crystals as if they are magnetized by magnets. They has the characteristics of an ice crystal but also the light energy of a moonlight crystal.” Ye Cang was not resigned.
“Brother Lil’White is the best! Kill dragons by using the mouth! Too impressive! Lele learned something new again! Why is Brother Lil’White so impressive?! Why?! Why?! Why?!” Lin Le started to beat his own chest as he complimented Ye Cang. Ye Cang then touched Lin Le’s head gladly. “It’s not that impressive. It’s normal.”
Hehe, I know why Brother pampers Lele more than Little Ye Tian now. When he looked at Lin Le, Zhang Zhengxiong thought of Little Ye Tian who was always blamed for anything. Suddenly, he howled. “That’s my brother! The real strategist!”
“Oh, A’Xiong, don’t exaggerate. Be humble. Be humble. Actually Lele’s idea was good too.” Ye Cang patted Zhang Zhengxiong’s shoulder. Meanwhile, Verlianna saw how Ye Cang enjoyed being praised although he sounded humble. I better stay away from them, in case I would be influenced by them. Upon thinking about it, she saw Ye Cang looking at her with the expression of ‘it is your turn’. She smiled bitterly. “Indeed is the White Emperor! As good as the rumors said!”
“Aww, they are just rumors. Real Rose, you’re not bad too. Here’s the Fake Roe’s address. Go kill her and you can be my fiancée.” After hearing what Ye Cang said, Verlianna stopped whatever she wanted to say. This conversation is impossible to continue. I could only smile. Looks like that b*tch, Th.o.r.n.yRose doesn’t have a good life after all. Verlianna’s hatred towards Th.o.r.n.yRose was then reduced. She even felt pity for her.
“Alright, alright. What hero skills do you guys get?” Ye Cang returned to the main topic.
Zhang Zhengxiong glanced at Verlianna and Ye Cang nodded. “Real Rose, can you turn your back against us? This is private and confidential.”
Verlianna did as they said speechlessly.
“Brother Lil’White! My hero skill is something called Dragon-Slaying Execute!”
“That’s a cool name. Let me have a look. Deals a permanent bleeding effect and unhealable wound on the target until...the battle ends. The effect is 5 times greater when used on dragons. When the target’s health points are lower than 20%, the effect is 5 times greater on ordinary targets and 15 times greater on dragons. That’s good.”
“......” Verlianna did not know whether to laugh or cry. What’s the purpose of asking me to turn my back against you guys?! Are you guys trying to insult my IQ?!
