Chapter 122: Dream Forest
Translator: 549690339
Li Yao browsed a few stores but didn’t find anything special, and then left Kael’Dan.
This time Li Yao used the World Amplifier to summon the fiery hawk, riding on it to speed up his journey.
Despite it not being a Flying Mount, the speed will slow considerably when it carries a load.
But in the air it is relatively safer than being on the ground.
The Hinterlands is a complex and closed world. Despite this, it is also intersected with all kinds of chaotic forces.
The Hinterlands is surrounded by continuous mountain ranges on all four sides, and to the east lies the Forbidden Sea, where almost no ship is willing to sail.
The Forbidden Sea is so called because ordinary ships that sail there tend to disappear, sink, encounter storms, or get attacked by mysterious creatures. In short, it’s a certain path to death.
Along the relatively safe coastline, you can reach the eastern part of the Hinterlands. On the east side of the mountains lies an endless beach. To get here, however, one must travel halfway around the continent, and only a small Dark Camp has established a small outpost on the beach.
There is a tiny path in the north connecting to the outside, but it is blocked by Kael’Dan.
The west is a winding mountain road leading to the southern hills, which nears the human territory. The road has been occupied by dwarfs from the hammer tribe who have established a stronghold on Eagle Nest Mountain. They have tamed the Gryphons here and dominated this area.
They stand eye to eye with the main dwarven city.
The internal situation is even more complicated, with dirty ogres, various beasts and monsters, snowmen, scattered goblins from the risk investment companies around the world, and the real number one power in the Hinterlands, the trolls.
There are three major troll tribes in the Hinterlands alone. They have established cities and fortresses and are scattered throughout. They are ignorant, barbaric, and exceptionally xenophobic, hunting down any intelligent creatures that get close to their territories.
Of course, there is also an even more magical place in the far north of the Hinterlands.
The Dream Forest, which is controlled by the Draconids. It is said that there is a portal to the Emerald Dream here, guarded by a powerful green dragon, one of the consorts of the Green Dragon Queen.
Due to the complex situation, the level of monsters here is not equal, ranging from level ten to sixty.
Even in his previous life, few players were willing to come to this map. It was too dangerous. One might be fighting a level ten monster and suddenly have a level sixty monster appear, swiftly killing the player in a single move.
Choosing to ride a mount, Li Yao basically didn’t have this worry. The view in the air was open, and as long as he didn’t let his fiery hawk break into the territory of the Gryphons, there wouldn’t be any danger.
At this moment, Li Yao was standing on the edge of the mountain range, and below was a basin shrouded in green mist, slightly dreamlike.
From afar, Li Yao could even see a temple with a hint of ancient elf architectural style, and he could also see a huge green portal. Although the scene was blurry, Li Yao knew that a real factional leader-level figure resided there – a mature green dragon and consort of the Green Dragon Queen.
In the customs of the Giant Dragons, only the most excellent and powerful dragons of the opposite sex have the privilege of becoming the Dragon King’s consort.
Regardless of the current stage of Li Yao, no matter how far in the future, Li Yao wouldn’t dare to provoke such a powerful being.
Because of the pervasive life-space in the basin and the vitality of the Emerald Dream, towering trees were everywhere.
Countless Draconids lived in the basin, with Draconid-style buildings all over the place.
Draconids are the offspring of the Dragon Clan mixed with other species. Although they cannot fly and their wisdom is not particularly high, their constitution is robust and many powerful individuals exist among them.
In Li Yao’s memory, a treasure chest that spawns on the outskirts of the Dream Forest contains an excellent Flying Wheel.
The Draconids outside are around level twelve, and the closer you get to the center, the higher the level of the Draconids.
“I hope luck is on my side, so I can get my hands on it sooner,” he thought.
After all, looking for treasure chests along the outer edges of the valley, and getting a Flying Wheel, were no simple tasks.
Li Yao jumped off the peak, the whistling wind cutting past his ears. He could hardly keep his eyes open.
As his body rapidly descended, the feeling of weightlessness was extremely real due to the realism of the ancient god game setting. Jumping down from thousands of feet in the air, even in a game, definitely requires supreme courage and solid mental quality.
The moment he was about to hit the ground, Li Yao immediately used a backflip, his body instantly changing direction to fly horizontally outwards, and after two Shadow Rolls, he successfully landed.
Looking around him, Li Yao immediately activated the passive effect of the dark ranger.
Suddenly, a black mist emerged from Li Yao’s body. His body faded into transparency, and finally, as if he had disappeared.
In his previous life, he had spent a lot of time investing in stealth skills as a rogue player for two years.
Li Yao carefully navigated through the forest, searching for treasure chests.
However, he soon encountered a Draconic scout wielding a long spear before he could find any treasures. Draconic Scout (Green Dragon)
Armor Effect: Dragon Scale Heavy Armor Effect
Elemental Resistance: Basic Fire Resistance, Basic Life Resistance. Skills: Frenzy, Heavy Slash, Acid Dragon Breath, Stomp
“Truly deserving its reputation as a monstrous Draconic elite.”
Li Yao summoned the Flame Eagle; with a swift swoop, the eagle pounced on its prey like an eagle going after a rabbit.
With a clang of metal collision, the Flame Eagle’s claws sparked as they raked across the elite Draconic scout’s body.
The Dragon Scale armor was too robust. Even with Li Yao’s level ten enhanced equipment and the inherent attributes of the Flame Eagle, the damage inflicted was minimal.
The Draconic scout reacted quickly, its long spear jabbing out and generating a shower of sparks.
Although the Draconic scout had monstrous attributes, it was, after all, just an elite, its damage and health less than that of the Flame Eagle. Even without Li Yao’s intervention, the Flame Eagle could kill the elite on its own.
But of course, Li Yao wouldn’t let them drag it out. He drew his bow, readying an arrow.
Using a purple bow and arrow, Li Yao’s damage output improved some, but it was still less than the Flame Eagle’s.
The aggro was firmly on the Flame Eagle, even Li Yao’s high damage couldn’t steal it away.
By his third arrow, a Falcon Spirit emerged, joining the Flame Eagle in attacking the Draconic scout.
Three Arrow Towers, a Flame Eagle, a Falcon Spirit, along with Li Yao’s own attacks, created a terrifying amount of damage.
With every two or three arrows Li Yao shot, a Falcon Spirit would appear. Soon, several Falcon Spirits surrounded the Draconic scout.
The damage output was simply horrifying. When the Draconic scout only had a few thousand health left, Li Yao unhesitatingly marked it with the Death Black Arrow.
A moment later, the Draconic scout fell in unwilling defeat.
The body of the Draconic scout suddenly exploded, bloody flesh scattering everywhere. Amid the carnage, a draconid skeleton wielding a long spear slowly stood up.
The Draconid Skeleton’s level changed to 11, obviously the same as Li Yao. But as it had become a silver hero, its attributes increased slightly. Of course, its defense had significantly decreased.
Li Yao should not have a problem dealing with the Draconid alone. He looked quite satisfied.
Li Yao, along with the Flame Eagle and Draconid Skeleton, resumed the search for the treasure chest.
