Chapter.32 The Stream of Hades

In the center of the gladiatorial arena, Xian Zimo was holding all 60 keels, and no one was spared except him. So, these 60 keels are all there is! They were tightly packed together by this point.

And then what? What do you do when you find the keel? As soon as such doubts flashed through his heart, he felt that the dragon bone in his hand was out of his control and floated into the air.

In mid-air, the keels bloomed with their dazzling light again. They spread out again, reassembling in the air, gradually piecing together a distinct silhouette from the mess.

'That's a phalange!' Soon, Xian Zimo could see the prototype of the bones before they shattered.

It didn't take long for the complete dragon phalanx to regain its original form. It floated slowly in the air, slowly adjusting the direction of its fingertips, and then it flew out in that direction.

"Wait for me!" Xian Zimo exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly followed. It couldn't have been more obvious, and the dragon's finger pieced together from the keel would lead him to the dragon's egg.

After losing the attribute bonus of the keel, Xian Zimo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and his running speed slowed down a lot. Fortunately, the phalanges didn't fly fast.

The dragon finger froze in the center of the arena, spinning in place, as if waiting for Xian Zimo to follow it.

"What kind of fame?" Xian Zimo also took three steps and made two steps, and came to the dragon finger.

Suddenly, the keel stopped turning. It thumped and slammed into the ground. The keel seemed to be fragile, but it pierced the ground at once.

From where the dragon's finger poked, cracks in the ground were spreading outward. In the blink of an eye, the arena was split in half by a hideous scar, and the crack was still widening.

"Whew, it's so hanging, I almost fell down." Xian Zimo, who came out of the crack, was so startled by this movement that he squatted on the ground, but when he looked up again, he couldn't find the location of the dragon finger bone.

"Boom ......"

The dull roar sounded again, and feeling the trembling on the ground even more violently than before, Xian Zimo felt a little wrong. Before he could stand up straight, he felt the air under his feet, and the whole person fell down with the collapsed ground.

"Ah!!h

Worked so hard to solve so many difficult guys, got together the keel, and now they are going to fall to their deaths? No, no, it should be the plot. After a brief panic, Xian Zimo also calmed down.

In the process of falling, he looked around, but there was only endless darkness. But in the darkness, he saw a conspicuous point of light—it was a dragon's finger!

It was directly below him, and it kept going down. Until......

"Plop ......"

The coldness invaded Xian Zimo's whole body, and after a few flutters, Xian Zimo surfaced in the dark: "There is actually a dark river underground?" ”

'Discover [Stream of Hades (Tributary of Longmian Valley)] and get 200 XP points for exploration reward, experience +1'

"Experience?" Until then, there had never been an exploration that rewarded such an attribute. But what kind of place is it? In addition to the darkness around, there was the faint sound of the river flowing. The name "Hades Stream" doesn't sound like a paradise.

Just when Xian Zimo was a little overwhelmed, he found that the river began to bloom from under his feet. Looking down, the dragon's phalanges glowed directly below him.

And through these lights, when you look at the river in front of you, they are crystal clear in the light, but they show an eerie dark color. This is no ordinary underground river.

"The water looks at ...... It seems a little dirty......"

Xian Zimo hesitated whether to dive into the water to retrieve the keel, but he felt his body sink again, as if he was being dragged by something, and sank to the bottom.

"Goo-goo-goo-goo......"

Even in the game, there is also a "drowning" setting, and if you don't breathe for too long, you will also lose a percentage of blood. Seeing the bubbles rising at the water's edge, he subconsciously wanted to struggle upward, but he only sank deeper and deeper. Finally, he couldn't help but let out a breath.

"Hu ......" breathed smoothly, and he remembered that the game simulation did not include "simulated suffocation". But it seems that his game character did not lose blood out of the water, and the game character still breathed......

Is that what makes this river special? ’

In any case, under the traction of that inexplicable force, he was approaching the deepest part of this stream of Hades little by little. But no matter how deep you go, your body doesn't feel the change in water pressure, so I don't know if it's an oversight of the game's production, or if the river is supposed to be like this.

"Tuk!"

With a muffled sound, Xian Zimo felt his feet touch the ground again...... No, the ground should still be a hundred meters above his head at this time, right?

At some point, the dragon finger bone was already floating in front of him. It emits a beam of light that points straight ahead.

'What's there?' Dragon eggs? Xian Zi couldn't help but think in anticipation. So he took a step and walked forward, walking "in the water", it was really a special taste, and the dragon finger was always floating in front of him to guide the way.

After only walking a few dozen steps, he saw the light and found what he had been thinking about for a long time—a dragon egg. It was placed on a stone pillar in front of it.

'Baby! Let me find you! He couldn't help but quicken his pace, but because of the resistance in the water, he walked more slowly.

Finally, his hands caressed the dragon egg, but Xian Zimo's heart was half cold. 'Where is this egg?' Isn't this a pile of stones? Isn't it because it's been left for too long and it's all fossilized? ’

At this time, the dragon finger reappeared. It landed softly, its fingertips on the egg, and in an instant, the keel shattered into powder and drifted away in the water. Immediately after that, the surface of the stone egg also changed.

"Click!"

Even in the water, Xian Zimo could hear the crisp sound. His heart moved: 'Is this going to break out of the shell?' ’

As it turned out, he was overthinking. It's just that the stone layer on the surface of the egg is broken and falls off, and as for the milky yellow dragon egg exposed in it, there is no trace of breaking the shell.

'Obtain the Dragon Egg'

'Hidden main quest [Last Dragon Egg] completed, rating: Perfect. ’

'Get Mission Rewards: Perfect Upgrade'

‘Level Up! ’

'Reward: 100 Fame (Tooth Horn Village)'

'Reward: 10 Fame (World)'

'Quest Reward: 3 Influence'

Seeing a series of prompts, Xian Zimo was convinced that he had really completed this S-class mission. And, as you can see from those 3 influence rewards, this is really a deeds quest!

Influence is perhaps the most difficult attribute in the game to obtain! The establishment of guilds, legions, factions and other matters must have enough influence, and there are many unknown roles of this attribute that have not been announced for the time being. However, this particular stat can only be obtained in some deeds quests, as is the official information.

Participated in the deeds quest early in the game...... After playing the game for all these years, such a dream start, Xian Zimo has encountered it for the first time. At this time, the prompt pops up again:

'You have made it to the Star List, current rank: 17. Is your identity public? ’

'You have made it to the Dragon List, current ranking: 95. Is your identity public? ’

It's really a good thing to come in pairs, after completing such a task, he actually appeared on the prestige list and combat power list one after another, counting the previous level list, he is now on the third list!

It turned out that it would take at least a month to be on the list, but I didn't expect that it would be on the third list before it arrived in a week. ’

After smirking, Xian Zimo remembered to come to see his biggest treasure at this time-dragon eggs. If this is really the last dragon egg in this world, wouldn't it be ...... to hatch it

【Dragon Egg】

Status: Sleepy (unable to hatch)

Synopsis: Even though countless days and nights have passed, it has been sleeping peacefully in the waters of Hades. Maybe one day, it will wake up......

'What do you mean?' Can't hatch? So what's the use of holding this egg? As a game veteran, Xian Zimo immediately thought of a possibility - the follow-up hatching still needs a series of steps.

It's already so difficult to get eggs in the first step, how easy will the follow-up steps be? And with his character and habits, it is impossible to stop without hatching the dragon. Only then did he realize that he had fallen into a deep, deep pit......

As soon as he put the dragon egg in his backpack, Xian Zimo found that the whole person suddenly had a tendency to float upward. He didn't have any doubts about this, it was obvious that he was going to return to the ground.

As he floated upwards a little, he noticed that his backpack began to glow with an intense light. Needless to say, it must be the dragon egg.

The light emitted by the dragon egg became brighter and brighter, gradually illuminating the surroundings. As a result, Xian Zimo could finally see the situation in the clear water - in the water, there were countless bones of white flowers floating.

Hades ...... It's not a fun place.
