Chapter 247: 212 "Rebirth" Skill, Revive Epic Beast Boss!
Its location is at the boundary between Shenglong State and the Bohai Sea, an island dragon lair situated upon the sea.
"These Western giant dragons are quite greedy, especially the Black Dragons.
Therefore, they must wipe out this monster lair in an extremely short amount of time.
If you are willing to clear the Black Dragon Nest, then you must set off immediately.
The military can only give you three days; after that, the army will directly strike."
After sending all the intelligence to Zi Liyuan, General Huang began to speak about the mission timeline.
"I remember when a monster lair has just formed, it usually has no more than 10 Lord Bosses?
To have detected 21 Lord Black Dragon BOSSes, so close to Shenglong State—this is not normal."
Monster lairs that have just emerged from their wild dungeon state and broken through the dimensional barriers to invade Blue Star usually contain only 4 to 10 Lord BOSSes.
Yet, there are 21 Black Dragons in this nest, which does not seem like a newly formed monster lair.
Moreover, it's located at the border of Shenglong State. You know, that's in the district where the Imperial Capital of the Great Xia Empire resides.
"Previously, the Dragon Island was covered by some kind of a war fog which blocked the detection signals. Plus, its location is quite special, that's why it was not detected immediately."
He explained briefly, mainly to let this suspicious youth know the military of the Great Xia Empire would not set him up.
"Alright, prepare a flying vehicle for me, I'll go there now."
Such high-level monster lairs are filled with various treasures, which are worth much more than the Contribution Value he has been collecting from his recent 'harvest.'
Not to mention there are so many Lord Grade Black Dragon BOSSes, the value of these Black Dragons alone is no less than the Contribution Value gained from the recent tournament.
"Alright, prepare yourself. In half an hour, we'll meet at the gate of Dragon Academy and set off."
General Huang nodded, then ended this video call.
"Half an hour, huh? That's enough time for a trip to the Treasure Pavilion."
Glancing at the arena, Zi Liyuan turned and headed towards the public teleportation circle.
He also sent a private message to Senior Cai, stating he had something to do and couldn't participate in today's tournament.
Just as he reached the teleportation area, his guide jade card received a notification of funds being credited and a private message.
[Professional Cai Cheng has transferred 5 million Contribution Points to you!]
[This time, the senior has profited greatly from the junior's illumination; this is a small token of appreciation, and I hope you don't disdain it.]
In the three matching games, Cai Cheng had bet 10,000 on Zi Liyuan winning every time, thus earning the same amount of gambling Contribution Value as him: precisely 8,342,465.
Then, this Senior Cai transferred 5 million to him, which was indeed the lion's share while he himself only had a taste of the scraps.
Understanding the art of dealing with people and being opportunistic, he was someone worth developing a deeper relationship with.
Cai Cheng had just been upgraded in Zi Liyuan's mind from a mere guide to a potential friend.
Without replying to the message, Zi Liyuan hurriedly used the teleportation circle and flew directly to the Great First District's Treasure Pavilion.
The Black Dragon Nest is the dominion of giant dragons where dragon beasts, dragon species, and sub-dragon species abound. These creatures are all mid to high-tier beings, more powerful than ordinary monsters.
What concerned Zi Liyuan the most was the air superiority; both giant dragons and many sub-dragon species can fly!
In his undead army, the only troops capable of flying were spectres and vampires, a lineup that was just asking to be served up on a plate.
To conquer the Black Dragon Nest, he must enhance his aerial advantage and gain air superiority.
Among the undead summoning arts he controlled, Bone Dragons were the only ones capable of securing air superiority.
"Damn it, if quality isn't enough, let's go with quantity. Against 21 Lord Grade Black Dragon BOSSes, I'll use 210 Bone Dragons to gang up on them ten to one. That should be enough to drag them to the ground, right?"
If he couldn't win the aerial combat, he needed to find a way to bring the enemy to the ground; once on the ground, those battle birds are just prey, ready to be crushed and kneaded at will.
After searching the machine for complete dragon bones and dragon souls, a large array of materials of different grades instantly appeared.
Discarding anything below Hero Grade, the Treasure Pavilion still had thousands of dragon bones and over three hundred dragon soul crystals available for exchange.
Then, Zi Liyuan's eyes instantly landed on a familiar item—it was the third time he had seen it.
[Red Dragon Skeleton (Gold): A complete skeleton of a red dragon, emanating a faint dragon aura, can be used as material to summon a Bone Dragon with a rare BOSS template. (One-time use item)]
Normally, a complete dragon skeleton would summon a Bone Dragon with a Hero template, not a BOSS template.
To match a BOSS template, a BOSS-grade dragon soul is required as the core, along with some promotion materials, to perform the summon.
This Gold-Grade Lord Grade Red Dragon Skeleton allows for the direct summoning of a rare BOSS template Bone Dragon without fussing about the grade of the dragon soul, which is already quite remarkable.
However, Zi Liyuan didn't snatch up this item right away; instead, he started checking the dragon soul crystals.
There were a total of 53 BOSS-grade dragon soul crystals: 3 of Lord Boss quality, 10 of Hero Boss quality, and 40 of Rare Boss quality. There were no Elite or Common BOSS-grade crystals.
For the ordinary template, there was a total of 267 dragon soul crystals, all of Hero template quality.
One Lord Boss-grade dragon soul crystal cost 50,000 Contribution Points.
One Hero Boss-grade dragon soul crystal cost 30,000 Contribution Points.
One Rare Boss-grade dragon soul crystal cost 10,000 Contribution Points.
One ordinary Hero template dragon soul crystal cost 1,000 Contribution Points.
Altogether, there were 320 dragon soul crystals; he added them all to the shopping cart, ready to clear them out in one go.
