“Hmm…”
Hearing what Dominica said, Dales scratched his chin. Even though his attitude was equivocal, even an idiot could tell that this old fella was extremely satisfied.
Wang Yu hurriedly asked, “So this dungeon is considered to be a success, right?”
“Hmph!” Dominica glared at Wang Yu before grunting without saying anything. The Dragon Race had always bullied others and was the respected experts. Wang Yu was almost chopped up into minced meat by Dominica which was why Dominica naturally didn’t regard Wang Yu as anything significant.
If it wasn’t for Dales’ presence, Dominica wouldn’t even bother grunting.
“…”
Wang Yu was speechless after he was looked down upon by an NPC. He simply poked Dales and shouted, “He seems a little unsatisfied so why don’t you just kill him directly so I can get out of here.”
After hanging out with the Quan Zhen Sect for a long time, Wang Yu became one of them. He had just learnt to use his connections to intimidate others and now he even learnt to bluff.
“This…” Dales was also smart and alert as he naturally understood that Wang Yu was merely trying to scare Dominica.
Dales and Wang Yu were not even considered to be friends. In Dales’ eyes, Wang Yu was far from being worth as much as these jewels. Presently, Dales was simply enjoying the show.
However, he had to do what he needed to do on the surface. Therefore, Dales looked at the castle full of jewels before looking back at Wang Yu. He pretended to be in a difficult spot, “Boss, you’re putting me in a difficult position.”
“Difficult position?” Wang Yu put up a fighting stance in front of Dales as he replied, “If you find it difficult, I will have to do it myself.”
“But you aren’t even capable of defeating me.” Dales smiled.
“I know.” Wang Yu replied faintly, “But I am willing to exchange my life for your life.”
“F*ck…”
Dales heard and couldn’t help but tremble.
Damn it! A player’s life might not be worth much but for a god-grade NPC like Dales, he only had one life. Why would he risk it with Wang Yu?
At the thought of that, Dales hurriedly stared at Dominica with a stern look, “Open your eyes and take a closer look. You have to do whatever he says. Otherwise, I will have to do whatever I have to do to make sure you listen.”
“This…” Even though Dominica was not convinced, he knew how violent Dales was when it came down to killing dragons without blinking. In the face of such an expert, he was helpless and could only take out a black token to hand it over to Wang Yu.
“Hehe…” When everyone saw how Dales could make Dominica lose his entire family fortune in just two to three sentences, Mystery Observer and the other two were stunned. They quickly asked on the chat, “Who is this yellow fella? How can he do that?”
“Dragon Emperor.”
Wang Yu replied casually as he took over Dominica’s token.
Mystery Observer and the others were once again stunned.
At the same time, the four of them received a system notification. <System Notification: Your current squad has completed your quest, Dominica’s Challenge. You’ve received unique tool Evil Dragon Lair’s key *1. You’ve received experience… fame… merit points…”
Following the system notification, level up radiances enveloped the four of them.
As Evil Dragon Lair was a large scale dungeon in the challenge mode, the experience points they gained from it were far beyond Wang Yu’s imagination. Even though the completion level wasn’t high and they even cheated at the very end, the experience points they gained from it were still enough to help everyone level up.
This was especially so for Wang Yu who increased directly to level 60.
Under the watchful gazes of the three of them, Wang Yu shared the attributes of Dominica’s token to them.
Evil Dragon Lair’s key: Treasured item which can be used to activate unique dungeon “Evil Dragon Lair”. Activator shall receive 5% of the earnings from the dungeon.
Owners of the tool: Iron Bull, Mystery Observer, Five Flagtree and Unfathomable Mystery.
In the preamble, it was mentioned that Dominica was not much different in terms of attributes with the rest of the dungeons activated by Wang Yu in the past. The difference was in the tense. In the end, the rewards were virtually the same.
However, the Evil Dragon Lair’s rewards were slightly better. Moreover, only those who found the key could use the key to activate it.
Of course, it didn’t matter whether they activate it now. After all, the level of difficulty of this dungeon was definitely not something the current players could handle.
“This… is this the only item?”
Looking at the attributes of the Evil Dragon Lair’s key, Wang Yu and the others were slightly taken aback.
The dungeon rewards in terms of experience points and others were indeed decent. However, the rewards had to be compared to the difficulty of the quest. The rewards awarded were clearly not of the same level as the quest… Even a level 150 BOSS came out and this is all they get?
“Tsk!” Dominica grunted, “What else do you guys want?”
“God equipment, God skills… Any of such things will be fine. We don’t ask for much,” a shameless Wang Yu asked.
Dominica replied, “Based on what?”
“I…” Wang Yu didn’t know what to say to Dominica so he simply turned to Dales.
Dales shook his hands, “I cannot do anything, too… You guys did not defeat him by yourselves and I’m already the reason why you guys can complete this dungeon. If you really want to force the equipment out of him, that would be cheating. Even if I do not kill him, the system will erase him as well.”
“I see…” Wang Yu nodded. It seemed like no matter how impressive Dales was, there was only so much he could help and he wouldn’t be able to break the rules. Otherwise, wouldn’t he be invincible and unstoppable with Dales by his side?
Balance was always the most important in a game. Anything that topples the balance in the game would naturally be erased.
It was decent enough that they could complete the dungeon so why would they ask for even more? Wang Yu was also not a greedy person so he was naturally not going to force Dales to slaughter Dominica.
“Do you have anything else?” Dales asked Wang Yu, “If you have nothing else for me, I’ll take my leave first. Try not to find me again. Bye!”
Following that, Dales extended his arms to tear up a crack in space before tossing Dominica in.
Since they had completed the Evil Dragon Lair dungeon, Dominica was theoretically dead. He would be living without any purpose here so it was a good ending for Dales to bring him away.
“Hold up…”
When Wang Yu saw that Dales was about to leave, Wang Yu cried out.
“What is it now?” A slightly frustrated Dales asked.
“Send us to Salat City…”
…
Putting this matter aside, while Wang Yu and others were fighting for their lives in the Evil Dragon Lair, the Quan Zhen Sect’s players fought their way to Salat City.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to come unscathed through a hundred battles.
Ratty’s strategies were almost as good as Fearless so from the very beginning, Ratty and co. had the upper hand in their battle against the Quan Zhen Sect.
Even though the Quan Zhen Sect managed to fight back successfully, Ratty and his men knew everything they needed to know about the Quan Zhen Sect as the attacking side. Moreover, the Quan Zhen Sect had no idea how many hidden helpers Ratty had.
Just like how the Quan Zhen Sect had no idea that the Thousand Waves Palace existed.
When the Twelve Celestial Bodies escaped towards Salat City, Ratty had already predicted that experts from Kingdom of Hell and the mercenaries were trapped in Twilight City. Since the Quan Zhen Sect did not know about the existence of Thousand Waves Palace, they would definitely continue their pursuit.
Therefore, Ratty had already planned this ambush when he brought his men back.
