Chapter 187 - 187: Chat Channel
Seeing Dierdeli’s expression, Song Jian felt his heart sink, and it suddenly occurred to him that in order to become a Dragon Hunter, one must possess the Forbidden Dragon Bloodline. The reason why he had misled Dierdeli was because he had absorbed the Black Dragon Bloodline, but his own bloodline did not contain any trace of the Black Dragon Bloodline;
“I’m done for. She misunderstood. I’m not at all of the Forbidden Dragon Bloodline. The reason why 1 wasn’t tainted by the dragon blood was mainly because of the Hexagram Array Diagram on my chest. The Black Dragon Essence Blood was all transformed into Dragon Blood Talisman by it, so there isn’t a trace of Black Dragon Bloodline in my veins, but I still have the aura of the Black Dragon…” Song Jian thought to himself;
“Mentor, what’s the situation?” Song Jian asked softly;
There was a trace of exhaustion on Dierdeli’s face as she looked meaningfully at Song Jian. After a moment, she shook her head slowly, without saying a word. She took two steps away, and then a golden rope suddenly shot out from her knuckle duster, wrapping around a distant building. Dierdeli leaped up with a sudden burst of speed, using the rope’s force to fly into the air. Her other hand then shot out another rope towards the distance, and she moved like Spider-Man, disappearing into the steel jungle with a few flashes of her body;
Song Jian sighed as he watched Dierdeli’s retreating figure, feeling at a loss. He didn’t want to deceive Dierdeli, and he was also very interested in the legendary profession of “Dragon Hunter,” but unfortunately, he simply didn’t have the qualifications to become one;
Roar-
Just then, Song Jian suddenly heard a monster’s roar from not far away. A creature resembling an ape emerged from a building;
“LV30 Mutated Ape Beast (Ordinary): Vitality Points: ???, Traits: ???”
“A level 30 monster!” Song Jian was startled. Although absorbing the Black Dragon Essence Blood had greatly increased his strength, a monster that was twenty levels higher than him was still somewhat difficult to handle. Clearly, after the Black Dragon and Dierdeli had disappeared one after the other, more and more monsters would appear in this area. If he were to get entangled with this level 30 monster and end up surrounded by other monsters, Song Jian would have no way out;
With that in mind, Song Jian’s body tensed up as he stared intently at the giant ape-like creature not far away;
Unexpectedly, the Mutated Ape Beast just glanced at Song Jian from afar before turning around and running towards the building that the Black Dragon had demolished. It moved on all fours with incredible speed, and in no time, it climbed onto a chunk of concrete and seemed to be sucking on something;
Song Jian slowly retreated, his figure disappearing from the area. In just a few minutes, he saw seven or eight level 30 monsters, rushing towards the location of the previous battle. Even when they saw Song Jian, they appeared not to care, as if they had more important things to do;
Even at a distance from the area, Song Jian could still hear the faint sounds of monstrous roars and battles in the distance, as if they were fighting over something;
“Perhaps it’s the blood of the Black Dragon, or maybe it’s the shattered muscle tissue of the Black Dragon. Those monsters will gain even more powerful strength if they devour these things, and they might even have a chance to become Dragon Beasts!” Song Jian thought to himself;
This area was simply too dangerous, with high-level monsters everywhere. It was easy to lose one’s life by being careless. Song Jian carefully dodged the monsters, narrowly avoiding being surrounded several times, but luckily he managed to escape using his Morphing into Dark Cloud ability;
By the time Song Jian returned to the level 10 monster area, nearly two hours had passed. When he had first set off, it had only taken him a few minutes to reach the area, but now the return trip had taken him almost two hours;
“Although it was dangerous, the rewards were great. I’ve made significant progress on the main quest, and even got a Dragon Blood Talisman!” Song Jian looked at the Dragon Blood Talisman in his character attributes and smiled;
The increase of two hundred Vitality Points and one hundred Spirit Points had brought about a tremendous change in Song Jian’s strength. With six hundred Vitality Points and a 500% Vitality Point recovery rate, he could now recover more than thirty Vitality Points per second. Even when facing a large group of monsters, he could charge in and kill a few times. It could be said that he was now in a dominant position in this level 10 monster area. However, since his Experience Points were now locked, killing more monsters wouldn’t allow him to level up. His attention was now focused entirely on finding a combat profession mentor;
At this moment, Song Jian noticed that there was someone talking in the chat channel;
World Channel: (Zhao Lin) Haha, I’m finally level 10! Let me gloat for a bit! …Why isn’t anyone saying anything? Could it be that I’m the first level 10 player in the game? Haha, I’m so proud!
World Channel: (Wang Hai) 1 reached level 10 three days ago, bro!
World Channel: (Zuo Zhiqian) Reached level 10 five days ago, bro!
World Channel: (Su Zhi) Two days ago, 1 saw someone solo a level 10 Elite BOSS, can you believe it?!
World Channel: (Zhao Lin) Ah, so many people have reached level 10 already, how embarrassing!
Song Jian looked at the chat and smiled faintly. The chat channel was only accessible after reaching level 10, and when Song Jian had reached level 10, other players were still at lower levels. It had only been a few days, and now there were already so many level 10 players. Moreover, these players must have also completed the second main quest and created their safe houses;
“I just don’t know if they’ve come across the job-related main quest yet…” Song Jian thought to himself: “If someone can access the job-related main quest, we might be able to share resources.”
Just then, someone in the chat channel suddenly asked about the information on combat profession mentors;
World Channel: (Jiang Hong) Does anyone know about the combat profession mentor information? This main quest is so difficult. I’ve only found two combat profession mentors in the past week…
Song Jian’s heart leaped with joy, and he quickly inquired in the chat channel;
World Channel: (Song Jian) Bro, I’m doing this quest too. Are those two combat profession mentors still in their original places? How about we exchange information?
World Channel: (Jiang Hong) Sure, the two combat profession mentors I met were in a small villa courtyard next to Building 3 in Meidi Community – one is a boxer, and the other is a wandering monk with a profession in martial arts. However, that wandering monk has been gone for a long time now, so you can only try your luck at Meidi Community. That boxer is actually a rare profession, so 1 might choose it if 1 don’t find any better options. Bro, what about yours?
World Channel: (Song Jian) Do you know Sunflower Bar? There’s a bouncer named Zuo Ya who can give you information on the “Street Thug” profession. Also, this bar sometimes has wandering NPCs. Last time 1 met one, I got information on the “Musketeer” profession;
Song Jian thought for a moment and continued;
World Channel: (Song Jian) Do you know the “Terrifying Underground Boxing Arena” dungeon? It’s a level 1 secret realm, and there are three bosses in there. If you can make it to the third level, there’s a boss named Jia Ke Si who can give you the “Weapon Master” profession, which is also a rare profession;
World Channel: (Jiang Hong) All, thank you, Brother Song! It seems like you’ve almost completed the quest! Well, actually, 1 know of another combat profession mentor, but the test for that mentor was too difficult, and 1 failed. However, that person seems to not have left yet…
