At the Endless Volcanoes.
The revived Hundred Bandit Team stood guard angrily at their original spots. Although being killed by the volcano eruption right after the appearance of the Lone Wolf trio, they did not make the connection between the two incidents.
How could three people alone make a volcano erupt? It would be crazy if someone told them so! Only fools would believe that!
“Continue guarding! Leader’s coming out at any time!” cried Violent Fate. All the bandits listened up and prepared themselves. Just when they were about to get back into their formation, a gigantic space spiral appeared before their eyes!
“Whoosh—”
Along with a great wind, a broken-winged Bone Dragon flew out!
Lin Jie leaned on the Exodus Bone Dragon’s back. Compared to lying on his stomach on its back and holding on to its bones for support, it would definitely be much suaver if he could stand up on its head. However, the Exodus Bone Dragon was, after all, not in a contract with him—it was just temporarily under his control. If Lin Jie really dared to stand up on its head, he most probably would be blown off within minutes.
As the Bone Dragon was carrying too many items, Lin Jie had no intentions of killing all these people again. He just wanted to get back to the City of Light and store away these treasures as fast as possible!
A few hours after Lin Jie left, a space spiral appeared in the sky above again! A bloody dragon head stuck out from the space spiral, and it roared unwillingly towards the far end of the sky! This was the Vicious Black Dragon Moratti’s head!
“Your mission’s completed. Go back and wait for further notice!” Eighteen Massacres’ voice was heard from above the dragon head. He stood up coldly on its head and held onto a blood-red rib bone in his hands.
——————
Just imagine: how would one feel if he was attacked by dropping bombs from an airborne bomber when he was just strolling casually along the streets?
Perhaps fear? Maybe report it to the police? Or run away immediately?
Most probably he would do a combination of the above-mentioned actions.
This was what our dear Mr. Lin Jie was experiencing now—except that he wasn’t the innocent passersby strolling on the streets.
He was the bomber.
It was needless to mention how the Guild of Light NPCs would react to the action of riding a Bone Dragon openly in the air. They were extremely hard on such kinds of Flying Undead Creatures, and their rule was this: kill them all! The situation only changed after a few years into the game when the ‘Prevention of Flying Undead Creatures Act’ was put into practice by the Guild.
This was because the game creators reasoned with themselves that sooner or later, there would definitely be players who could strike up contracts with Undead Mounts successfully. As such, the system must protect the players from being attacked by the NPCs. The Holy Church then rolled out this Prevention of Flying Undead Creatures Act, which decreed that ‘First-time offenders will be given a warning; second-time offenders will be put in jail; third-time offenders will be killed immediately.’
For now, every time Lin Jie flew past a village or a city, all the sirens would be sounded, and everyone would start to escape for their lives! The system made announcement after announcement, just like the times when sieges were conducted! These announcements were like a running giant who was advancing towards the City of Light!
——System Announcement: An Undead Dragon-type creature was sighted at Murphys Town! Townsfolk, please evacuate this place immediately! The Holy Church’s Combined Army, get ready!
——System Announcement: An Undead Dragon-type creature was sighted at Galactica Town! Townsfolk, please evacuate this place immediately! The Holy Church’s Combined Army, get ready!
——System Announcement: An Undead Dragon-type creature was sighted at Qizimir Town! Townsfolk, please evacuate this place immediately! The Holy Church’s Combined Army, get ready!
…
“Little Jie, I have made the necessary arrangements you required,” said Zheng Ziliang in an excited voice. “I didn’t believe it at first when you told me you didn’t die, but now I finally believed it after seeing all the system announcements! However you need to be careful, the Guild of Light had sent out its entire army to fend the Exodus Bone Dragon off. The Holy Church sent out two Angels, and the Imperial Armed Forces even sent out their precious Superior Ballista Division. You seemed to be challenging the heavens!”
Lin Jie couldn’t decide if he should laugh or cry when he received this news. In Lin Jie’s previous life, when Undead Creatures enter the city, only a few Superior Hunters would be sent out to shoot them down. In this life, he was the first-ever player who dared to get an Undead Creature to enter the city! It was natural for anyone to be extremely cautious and put their guards up when they witnessed something dangerous happening for the first time, but for the Holy Church to send out Sub Legendary creatures like Angels, and the Empire to sent out a Superior Ballista Division which could only be ready after at least tens of years of training… They were definitely determined to blast him up!
However, Lin Jie had his own countermeasures against all these! He had arranged for large numbers of his own people in the City of Light to wait for his arrival. They just need to catch the dropping equipment from the sky and hand them over to the Provisions shop, and the Provisions shop would give them monetary rewards!
As the majority of these players did not have a great need for such high-quality items at this stage, Lin Jie believed that they would be satisfied by the monetary rewards the Provisions shop offered them.
Lin Jie was reaching the City of Light!
When the Exodus Bone Dragon approached the City of Light, the guards within the City of Light were all armed and prepared! Meanwhile, many players had gathered around, hoping to get some good hauls from this episode! Those who had missed the news of the Sub Legendary Thunder Silver Feathered Eagle being refreshed were all gathered at the scene now—after all, the system had made so many announcements within the City of Light. It was impossible to ignore them!
The dot from faraway gradually grew bigger, and an absurd-looking Bone Dragon appeared within the onlookers’ field of vision! Its fleshless black wings looked petrifying, but its tummy which was being wrapped in Dragon Leather made it look comical… Nevertheless, all the onlookers still couldn’t help but held their breaths when they saw its Legendary Boss title!
“The enemy has appeared!”
“Prepare the Magical Ballistas!”
“Angels, get ready!”
The whole City of Light was in trepidation! A Magical shelter was activated above the skies of the City of Light. Space Magic and Teleportation enchantments were was utilized to evacuate the city folks!
…
“Ang——” Lin Jie ordered the Bone Dragon to give out a warning roar as they neared the city gates! He could see his fellow Brothers who were waiting for his arrival below—Zheng Ziliang and the rest of the guys were in sight!
“Prepare the Ballista!” cried a stubbed Ballista Manager. Superior Ballista Managers were rare within the Guild. This was because explosions were easily caused during their training with the Ballista. As such, up to several ten thousand Middle-grade Ballista Managers would lose their lives during their leveling up process!
One could only become a Superior Ballista Manager after tens of years—the appearance of a single Superior Ballista Manager would mean the deaths of millions of Middle-grade Ballista Managers! They were thus precious warring resources and the only people who were allowed to use the intelligent weapons created by humans to kill their enemies—the Titans!
Superior-grade crystals and stones were loaded onto the Magical Ballista, and impactful shots were about to burst out from the Ballista’s opening! The Ballista Manager controlled the Ballista, preventing sudden outbursts of energies. He aimed it at the Exodus Bone Dragon in the faraway, and…
‘Bomb!’
The Exodus Bone Dragon suffered a great blast! Two Angels wielding Flame Judgment Swords followed closely behind, and blade auras full of Flaming Holy Light slit by, causing numerous Damage of more than 100,000 points!
On the ground.
The crowded players raised their heads and looked depressively at the battle in the sky. ‘What, why didn’t the Boss bring its underlings when it was attacking the city? What can we do now then? Just watch the NPCs fight among yourselves?’
All those who had gathered here had wanted to make some gains from the battle with the Boss. What’s the fun of just watching a battle?
“The system announcements were really deceiving, I rushed all the way here from the City of Elves just so that I may get some Legendary equipment. Yet now I feel like I am just watching a movie.”
“Aye, that’s considered okay already. I was just done with the foreplay with my girl and was about to start the real deal. Then someone called me and told me that a Legendary Boss was being refreshed in the game. Man, I was so shocked, and my d*ck went limp, wth…”
“I had skipped my duty just for this…”
A Warrior was recounting the miserable tales of how he had lost his job, lost his girlfriend and match-making opportunities and eventually lost his sex partners just to play in the game when his head was being hit. He grabbed hold of the item on his head and shouted furiously, “Which damned bastard is littering around? Do you have any sense of societal responsibility… Oh WTF! This is a Gold Helmet!”
“Dong—”
“Dong—”
All the players who were being hit on their heads examined the dropped items excitedly. They looked up into the sky and saw that the Dragon Leather, which was covering the Exodus Bone Dragon’s body was smashed to pieces. Numerous equipment was falling from the sky, and dropped onto the players’ heads!
“Oh, I got a 75% real leather! There’s hope for my Level 25 Gold Leather Armor!”
“Ahahahaha! A Level 30 Gold Shield, with Block +10%! I am gonna get rich!”
“Oh, I want a girl, please drop me a girl…”
All the players who were too excited by their lucky gains did not notice that a person was holding on to a piece of rib bone of the Exodus Bone Dragon. He released his right hand finally, and dropped down from the sky!
At this moment, Zheng Ziliang opened his arms wide, waiting to catch some items. His eyes brightened up, and aiming for the largest item, he caught it accurately!
“WTH! What are you grabbing my breasts for?” Lin Jie’s horrified shouts were heard. Zheng Ziliang had caught Lin Jie who was falling head-down from the sky, and he had instinctively pinched the ‘soft breasts’—or so he thought—of the person he caught.
“Kacha——”
Unfortunately, this scene was being captured by a reporter’s camera.
Zheng Ziliang’s face dampened, and threw Lin Jie mercilessly onto the ground. He wailed loudly, “Oh god, my reputation’s all ruined! It’s all ruined now!”
