[Dragon Curse · Four Directions Flame Sun Barrier]
[Health: 100,000,000]
[Effect: Fire/Flame magic immunity, automatic healing every second]
[The Flame Dragon Nest Master, the Dragon Queen personally opens]
Orson threw a Chaos Magic Ball at the barrier to test it.
Just as the description of the barrier indicated, the burning effect from his Chaos Magic Ball was nullified. At the same time, ripples surged across the surface of the barrier, and a blood-red number appeared: Auto-heal +1000.
In just three seconds, the health he lost was completely restored.
This powerful barrier was the reason why The Flame Dragon's nest master had greedily raided the priestesses. Even if the Flame Demon Volcano erupted and the entire dragon nest was destroyed, the fire magic immunity effect of the barrier would keep the dragon eggs, treasure chests, and other valuable items safe.
"Only ten minutes left."
Orson glanced at the time. It was clearly unscientific to just smash the barrier with brute force. With such high health and regeneration speed, even a small army would take forever to break through.
Of course, if the treasure barrier were that easy to break, any player could just walk in and take the dragon treasures. That wouldn't fit the world of Infinite Dimensions.
Here, high-difficulty dungeons with high rewards were the main theme.
If it were any other player, they would have no way to deal with the barrier in such a limited time, but Orson was different!
"Stop sleeping, get up and work."
Orson smiled slyly as he reached into his inventory, pulling out Berenice, who had been snoozing in the storage slots.
"Ugh~~ so sleepy... My servant, do you know that disturbing the queen's sleep is a capital offense?"
Berenice yawned, hopping onto his head and cracking an eggshell on his forehead.
"Take a look inside, dummy." Orson grinned and pointed at the interior of the barrier.
"Whoa! Dragon egg hatching array!"
Berenice gasped, her excitement palpable as she shrieked, "Wahaha, treasure, so much treasure!"
"My servant, you are quite clever! Now hurry up and bring it all to me as a tribute!"
"If I could get in there, would I need you?"
Orson teased, grabbing the naive Berenice and pulling her in front of him. "Go in and get the stuff out. I promise I won't suck your blood for a year."
Berenice's blood was sacred and could rejuvenate the bloodline of war beasts' ancestors. Even Lord Cain used her blood, diluted, to mass-produce Demonized Earth Soldiers, so her blood was incredibly valuable.
"You little brat, how dare you covet my dragon's blood?"
Berenice flipped out, and inside her egg-like shell, a tiny figure jumped around.
Orson's eyes narrowed, and he sternly said, "Go now. Time is limited. You have five minutes to clear it out."
"How dare you command me?"
Berenice got angry and was about to give her lowly servant a taste of her "Dragon's Disdain".
Orson didn't hesitate. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and an ancient parchment scroll appeared.
It was the Master-Servant Contract.
The scroll was filled with eerie black symbols, containing the highest laws of the Infinite Dimensions world.
The Master-Servant Contract not only allowed Orson to force his subordinate's actions but also had the power to erase them completely.
However, Orson didn't dare push Berenice too far. She had received blessings from the Holy Spirit Dragon King, allowing her to freely traverse most space barriers below the Dragon King level.
If she chose to self-destruct out of humiliation, it would be a great loss.
Where could he find another "Barrior-Breaking Thief" like her?
"Just tell me, will you do it or not? If you behave, once the egg hatches, I'll break the contract."
Orson's grin spread across his face like an old fox.
Berenice was always calling herself a queen, but in reality, she had the personality of a mischievous child. He had no trouble handling her.
"You're sure about this..."
Berenice seemed a little scared now. She acted cute, saying, "But I don't have hands or feet..."
Orson's face darkened. "Stop pretending. You've rummaged through my inventory, drank a hundred bottles of potions and anti-magic elixirs. No hands? I don't believe you."
He had stocked up plenty of potions for emergencies, but every now and then, large amounts would go missing, and when he checked, all that was left were empty bottles.
There was no such thing as bugs in Infinite Dimensions, so if it wasn't a thief, what was it?
"Hehehe, my servant, you're so clever! You can't hide anything from you," Berenice giggled shamelessly.
Orson flicked his finger and shot a burst at her egg shell. "Enough chatter, empty the treasure for me. This is The Flame Dragon's compensation for me!"
"Aren't we splitting it 50-50?"
Two large eyes blinked mischievously from within the egg.
"50-50? What's mine is yours, hurry up and act."
"Okay! I hope you keep your word!"
Orson's eyes gleamed, waiting as Berenice jumped through the barrier with ease, not hindered at all.
Only then did Orson reveal a wicked smile. "And as for this egg, it's all mine. No need to split it... we're family after all..."
"Ai~~ my little feet are out!"
"Oh, my little hands are getting longer, so beautiful..."
Berenice entered the barrier, first fiddling around before two claws and two feet popped out of the egg shell.
Her body and head were still wrapped inside, and she wobbled as she moved, looking utterly comical.
"My dragon babies, come to mama!"
She reached out toward the dragon eggs. Despite being much smaller than The Flame Dragon egg, her strength was astonishing.
With ease, she picked up The Flame Dragon Egg with one hand and sent it outside the barrier.
"Really a little monster," Orson thought to himself.
He had been worried Berenice might be too small to move the heavy treasure chests and dragon bones. He had planned to direct her to search the hidden room for four Barrier Stones to break the formation.
But now it seemed his worry was unnecessary.
Stealing treasure was a traditional dragon skill, and Berenice's greedy nature kicked in. Moving with incredible speed, she darted back and forth across the barrier.
Soon, a true Dragon's Treasure appeared before Orson.
"You have obtained 15 Bronze Chests!"
"You have obtained 8 Silver Chests!"
Orson's scalp tingled. A total of thirty chests of various qualities, with one of them being an extremely rare Platinum Chest!
Dragon Bones, Dragon Scales, and Dragon Horns—210 in total!
Sacred Dragon Crystals, 11 pieces!
It was clear that raiding the dragon's nest was far more rewarding than hunting down dragons!
With so many materials, not only could he craft a set of 35-level Legendary Mage Gear, but with Dragon Crystals as the main material, following the blueprint shown to him by the Gray Dwarves, he could even create 11 sets of 30-level Legendary Six-Piece Sets!
"You have obtained 12 Flame Dragon Eggs!"
Orson felt goosebumps all over his body.
This was the most valuable treasure in the haul!
A living Dragon Beast, enough to greatly enhance a small guild's power and even attract capital investment for expansion.
After all, this was a Giant Dragon Beast—once it leveled up, it would at least be a Domain Lord-level Beast, a symbol of invincibility in the eyes of ordinary players!
And... 12 Flame Dragon Eggs, if all of them hatched...
Who needs a Dragon Master when they can create a Flame Dragon Legion and sweep everything in their path?
Orson immediately checked the properties of the dragon eggs.
Quality: Damaged Sacred Item
Description: A dragon egg from The Flame Dragon's nest. It suffered irreversible damage after being removed from the hatching array prematurely.
Current Hatching Probability: 3%
"Would you like to try hatching this Dragon Egg?"
"Each hatching attempt costs 20,000 gold, with a 1% increased failure rate."
The prompt appeared, and Orson froze for a moment. He had celebrated too early.
Hatching one egg would cost 20 million gold, and failure would increase the failure rate by 1%.
If things went wrong, he could lose nearly 2 billion and still not see The Flame Dragon hatch.
True, with the financial power of the rich guilds
, this amount of money wasn't much.
But the most critical issue was that with the difficulty of the Infinite Dimensions dungeons, the chances of a battle beast dying prematurely were extremely high. No one could guarantee that the beast wouldn't die on the first try.
Unlike players, battle beasts couldn't respawn. If they died in combat, they would be permanently erased.
All the huge investment would be wasted.
"Just like the toys of those rich guilds..."
Orson commented sharply. He hesitated for a moment, furrowing his brows. "Wait, aren't I also a little rich guy now?"
