Chapter 740: Poor Avril
"This…"
Hearing Ling Zhan's analysis, Adolphus and Ansely exchanged glances, their expressions slightly stunned.
They had honestly never thought of it this way.
With the current fusion of games and reality, secret realm dungeons and the wilderness often featured random missions. These could range from ordinary tasks to missions that revealed hidden bosses upon completion.
The Radiant Secret Realm was one such place, where completing a series of random missions successfully brought forth the Radiant Dragon King.
When the Radiant Dragon King appeared, it marked the opening of the great treasure vault.
Currently.
If they didn't return this reverse scale to the Radiant Dragon King, they wouldn't gain its favor. But without the protection of its reverse scale, wouldn't it become easier to defeat?
Thinking of this, Adolphus and Ansely realized it wasn't an impossible scenario!
"But wouldn't that mean we can't directly enter the Radiant Treasure Vault? You know, Zhang Mingruo from Dragon Demon Palace bought that dragon egg at the auction. Wouldn't they beat us to it?" Adolphus frowned.
Ansely also looked at Ling Zhan.
Ling Zhan said calmly, "Then before Zhang Mingruo hands the dragon egg to the Radiant Dragon King, we'll just take the Dragon King out."
Adolphus: "…"
Ansely: "…"
Damn!
That actually makes sense!
Can't argue with that!
"But the question is, can we really manage to kill the Radiant Dragon King?" Adolphus asked worriedly.
"I trust Ling Zhan," Ansely said firmly, clenching her small fists without hesitation.
Adolphus felt speechless upon hearing this.
He thought to himself, "You're already his biggest fangirl, of course, you'd believe in him without any doubt."
Although Ling Zhan's earlier display of power had truly shocked Adolphus to the core,
the Radiant Dragon King was still a level 160 mythical beast!
It was on an entirely different level compared to their group of class-changers, who were only in the 130s!
Faced with Adolphus' concerns, Ling Zhan couldn't be bothered to waste more words.
Instead, he turned and followed the mission's guidance.
The mission prompt pointed toward the Radiant Dragon King's location, where the mission items were meant to be delivered.
To be honest…
Ling Zhan didn't really need to explain so much to his teammates.
If it weren't for needing to piggyback on their mission to obtain the key to the Radiant Secret Realm, Ling Zhan would've come here alone.
Since entering this realm, Ling Zhan hadn't planned to rely on his teammates anyway.
After all, from level 1 to his current level 100, Ling Zhan had always soloed dungeons and wilderness areas. The times he had joined a team could be counted on one hand.
Seeing Ling Zhan silently turn and leave,
Adolphus and Ansely hurriedly followed him.
In the vast stone hall, only piles of dried corpses, reduced to black powder, remained.
Before long, this black powder would completely vanish, erasing all traces of Zhang Hu, Mendy, and the others from this world.
The class-change world was fantastical and magnificent, yet it was also ruthlessly cruel.
No class-changer could predict which day would mark their end, leaving them to vanish entirely, as if they had never been part of this world.
Today it was Zhang Hu and Mendy.
Tomorrow, would it be Ling Zhan?
......
......
Following the mission's guidance, Ling Zhan and his companions traversed numerous teleportation points. After two days, they finally reached the central region of the Radiant Secret Realm.
It was a vast, black plain.
The once clear and cloudless sky had turned dark and stormy, with thunder entwining the ominous clouds ever since they entered this central area.
The black plain was teeming with countless formidable monsters.
As Ling Zhan's group arrived at the center of the plain, they finally reunited with Avril, who had been separated earlier.
Avril looked a bit disheveled. Upon seeing Ling Zhan and the others, her beautiful eyes sparkled with joy, and she immediately began recounting her experiences during their separation.
Since parting ways with her team, Avril had been quite unlucky.
First, she encountered a squad from Dragon Demon Palace and wiped them out, only to run into a squad from the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance afterward.
After annihilating them, she then encountered Yamashita Masahiko.
The two engaged in an intense battle.
Yamashita Masahiko's strength was on par with Avril, the team captain, and the fight ended in a stalemate.
But then, Zhang Mingruo and Ding Haoji showed up, forcing Avril to flee for her life. Even so, their relentless pursuit left her gravely injured.
Fortunately, she had prepared plenty of high-grade healing pills for situations where she lacked a priest.
Avril quickly recovered from her injuries.
But soon after, she got involved in a fierce resource scramble.
Avril didn't want to let the opportunity slip, so she seized a chance to grab the key item for triggering a random mission: a dragon claw fragment.
However, she was gravely injured again.
After healing once more, she made her way here. Along the way, she encountered several unknown adventurer teams. Since only strong teams dared to enter the Radiant Secret Realm, Avril had no choice but to flee until she finally reunited with Ling Zhan and the others.
Hearing Avril's somber tone and seeing her aggrieved expression, Adolphus and Ansely couldn't help but feel an urge to laugh.
Their captain had clearly had a rough time.
Avril had spent most of her time recovering from injuries and running away.
Meanwhile, Ling Zhan didn't seem particularly interested in Avril's ordeal.
His gaze was fixed on a distant black basin.
The basin was massive, resembling a giant black bowl embedded in the plain when viewed from above.
Surrounding the basin were numerous figures who had gathered.
A casual glance revealed that even the lowest-level class-changer present was at least level 135.
Waves of powerful auras rippled across the area, creating an intense and solemn atmosphere over the black basin.
Everyone was warily eyeing one another, and the air was thick with killing intent.
It seemed that all the major powerhouses had obtained the critical mission items and followed the mission's guidance to converge here.
This black basin appeared to be the place where the Radiant Dragon King would emerge and the Radiant Great Vault would open.
It was said that the treasure vault was filled with extremely rare and precious materials.
It even contained some SS-grade skill books.
Some had even found SS-grade innate talents inside treasure chests here before.
No wonder so many people were fanatically obsessed with this dragon's treasure trove.
At the same time, everyone could feel a faint, suffocating pressure. Those who had faced dragons before would recognize it instantly—this was Dragon's Might!
