Recruiting Rust Dragons
After thinking for a moment, Li Wei didn't bring any other troops, but instead summoned his beloved Mighty Gorgon and headed towards the 'Sulfur Nest'.
"You've discovered a Sulfur Nest, from which you can faintly hear dragon roars. Should you use force to defeat the garrison and capture this recruitment point?"
Li Wei chose yes without hesitation.
Suddenly, three enormous 'Rust Dragon' flew out with an awe-inspiring presence.
Li Wei instantly channeled the Behemoth's Power throughout his body and unleashed the Beast Soul. Since it already possessed two Sacred Dragon Souls, it could transform into Sacred Dragon form twice, so Li Wei might as well make the most of it.
Bang!
When the Sacred Dragon's obviously much larger body appeared in front of the three Rust Dragons, the Rust Dragon were also stunned, but then they spewed out pus containing strong acid and pounced on it.
"It's time to test the power of 'Death God's Eye'!" Li Wei controlled his troops, constantly arranging them into formations. The Sacred Dragon transformed from the Beast Soul could hold off two Rust Dragons, while the remaining one was put on the defensive under the combined attack of himself and the Mighty Gorgon.
Soon, after one of the Mighty Gorgon's attacks, the 'Death God's Eye', which only has a 10% chance, was triggered. A phantom resembling the Grim Reaper appeared above the Rust Dragon's head, and the powerful level 10 dragon suddenly let out a terrible scream before collapsing to the ground, dead.
"Hint: Rust Dragon died at the hands of the Mighty Gorgon's Death God's Eye!"
It worked!
Suppressing his elation, Li Wei continued his attack on the remaining two Rust Dragons. Soon, another Rust Dragon fell, blocked by the Beast Soul and relentlessly attacked by the Mighty Gorgon. At this moment, Li Wei had already won more than half the battle.
Soon, the last Rust Dragon also fell unwillingly with a mournful howl. Death God's Eye is a deadly special move; once it is used, no one can escape death.
"Defeat the guards and gain control of the Sulfur Nest. There is a Rust Dragon here. Recruit it?" Li Wei quickly received this notification.
After looking at the resources and gold coins required for recruitment, Li Wei's expression immediately turned grim.
It required 20 units of sulfur. He barely had enough gold coins, but he was far from having enough sulfur. Helpless, Li Wei had to temporarily put aside the tempting idea of recruiting the Rust Dragon and quickly headed to another area to find the sulfur mine.
On the other side of the swamp area lies the volcanic region.
The surface here is composed of black mud and sand, and in many places, scorching lava flows. Most of the creatures here belong to the forces of hell, like the pack of Hellhound in front of Li Wei.
Behind the Hellhound was a sulfur mine, a resource that Li Wei urgently needed.
There were about 50 Hellhound guards, Li Wei still led the Lizardman and a small number of Dragon Fly to charge forward. The Dragon Fly could cast the 'Weakness' spell on the Hellhound, while the Lizardman could attack from a distance. Soon, Li Wei cleared out the monsters blocking his way and seized control of the sulfur mine.
The volcanic area is rich in sulfur, Li Wei spent half a day occupying three mining sites. Of course, besides sulfur, there are many other precious resources here. In fact, Li Wei even saw an abandoned Gold Mine from a distance.
This abandoned Gold Mine can be restored and mined again if a certain amount of gold coins are spent on its repair. Encountering such a structure in the wild is quite lucky, since gold coins are always in short supply.
Just then, Li Wei suddenly felt a familiar pressure.
"The Sacred Dragon? How is that possible!" Li Wei was shocked. There was still one day left in the seven-day cycle, so why had the Sacred Dragon arrived ahead of schedule?
During the insurance period, Li Wei rushed directly to the abandoned Gold Mine and slipped inside.
Regardless of whether it's Sacred Dragon coming to hunt you down, you should wait and see.
Peering through the rotten wooden planks in the Gold Mine, Li Wei quickly spotted the Sacred Dragon in the sky. However, this Sacred Dragon was clearly not there to hunt him down.
Because not far away, a reincarnator was fleeing in this direction in a disheveled state.
"So it was the Sacred Dragon that was hunting down other reincarnators. Now, nearly 20 days of the three-month period have passed. The reincarnators who have survived until now must be quite strong!"
Li Wei secretly observed his opponent and saw that he was a somewhat thin reincarnator with a combat strength of B1. At this moment, the opponent was running desperately, while the Sacred Dragon in the air was in hot pursuit.
"There's only one Sacred Dragon in the sky, which means he's also discovered the 7-day cycle pattern, making it the key to defeating the Sacred Dragon!"
However, judging from this reincarnator's appearance, he was clearly fleeing in a sorry state. Li Wei shook his head in confusion, thinking to himself, "Logically speaking, he has survived two cycles, and there is only one Sacred Dragon chasing him. In other words, he must have killed Sacred Dragon. Why is he still so terrified?"
After observing for a while, Li Wei discovered that this reincarnator was clearly putting on an act, probably deliberately leading the Sacred Dragon to a certain place.
Following the direction the reincarnators were running, Li Wei saw a strange device a few hundred meters away. Next to the device, three reincarnators—two men and one woman—were hiding.
With his Eye of Perception, nothing can escape Li Wei's Detection.
"Giant Dragon-Slaying Crossbow, a mechanical device, possessing extremely high destructive power!"
It was a trap!
Li Wei suddenly realized that the reincarnators had used this method of luring the Sacred Dragon to a pre-prepared trap, and then used the Giant Dragon-Slaying Crossbow to kill Sacred Dragon.
However, in Li Wei's view, the Giant Dragon-Slaying Crossbow was clearly not a prop from this mission world. It should have been brought from another world by a reincarnator, or perhaps it was made by a reincarnator with craftsmanship skills.
In short, their tactics were very effective.
After the reincarnator used as bait ran into the trap area, the three reincarnators hidden next to the Giant Dragon-Slaying Crossbow immediately activated the huge crossbow.
With a heavy thud, a massive crossbow bolt, at least ten meters long, shot through the air and pierced the unsuspecting Sacred Dragon from both sides.
Even the incredibly tough Sacred Dragon Crystal Armor couldn't withstand the power of the Dragon-Slaying Crossbow, and dragon blood rained down everywhere. The Sacred Dragon, struck by the arrow, tried to struggle and escape, but it was powerless and plummeted from the sky.
"Wow, impressive! They can even do that?" Seeing this, Li Wei couldn't help but admire those reincarnators immensely. Indeed, if we only consider combat strength, they combined probably wouldn't be a match for the Sacred Dragon. But using this method of setting a trap, then sending the fastest reincarnator to lure the Sacred Dragon with their own bodies, and then suddenly killing it, is indeed a very good method.
"However..." Li Wei sighed upon seeing this.
This method, while effective and effortless, is definitely not the purpose for which the Main God of Reincarnations were tasked with this mission. If I were to rush out now and kill all four Reincarnations immediately, no matter what ingenious traps they might have, true strength is paramount in combat.
Of course, Li Wei wouldn't do such a thing; at least, he doesn't have the habit of killing people indiscriminately.
I checked the time; there was less than an hour until dark. This was the sixth day, so it would be best to meet up with An Hei and Zheng Yutong first.
After repairing the abandoned Gold Mine, Li Wei activated his Shifting Forms and Changing Positions and traveled thousands of miles away.
What Li Wei didn't know was that everything he had just imagined actually happened.
The four reincarnators who used the Sacred Dragon encountered the Grim Reaper who would reap their lives. A young Necromancer, using his A-level combat power, killed all four reincarnators and obtained the Dragon-Slaying Crossbow.
"What great luck! I never expected such an unexpected gain. This makes us even more confident in defeating Gaia, the Sacred Dragon King!"
He then glanced at the abandoned Gold Mine not far away and muttered to himself, "Strange, I clearly sensed the aura of that reincarnator just now, how could it have disappeared in the blink of an eye? Was it just my imagination?"
It was the same tree hollow, and An Hei was still waiting there early, but this time, his harvest was much better than last time.
"30 Lich, 10 Dread Knight, and a Bone Dragon... How about that, not bad, right?" An Hei chuckled, seemingly delighted with his achievement.
Li Wei was secretly astonished. How could someone with only average An Hei Force strength acquire so many high-level troops? He wanted to ask for details, but then changed his mind. Regardless of the method the other party used, they were still his comrades. If the other party wanted to tell him, he would do so even without being asked.
Not long after, Zheng Yutong returned. The three of them chatted for a while before conserving their energy and waiting for the arrival of the Sacred Dragon in the next 7-day cycle.
... one month later.
Li Wei and his two companions have already killed more than six Sacred Dragons, and their troop strength has reached a terrifying number.
Li Wei and An Hei both felt that their strength was enough to get them through the remaining month or so, and completing the mission seemed like a sure thing.
At this moment, Li Wei was thinking about the last piece of Dragon Jade.
At this moment, their combined biological units were already capable of easily defeating the attack of three Sacred Dragons. Li Wei's main force consisted of over 300 Mighty Gorgon. Next were the Dragon Fly, numbering an astonishing 600, followed by 500 Basilisk, 70 Wyvern Monarch, and the most powerful 'Rust Dragon', totaling seven. Don't underestimate these seven Rust Dragons; they were level 10 creatures, capable of going toe-to-toe with the three Sacred Dragons. Whenever Li Wei saw these Rust Dragons, he couldn't help but fantasize about how wonderful it would be to bring them out of the mission world, thus sweeping through the Blood Clan Star Domain.
Of course, in reality, no living being can be taken out of the mission world.
