Chapter 213: Exodus Bone Dragon

“What… what sound is that?” asked Zheng Ziliang, who seemed rather dazed by this roar.

The whole Moratti Shrine trembled violently after the Exodus Bone Dragon gave out its roar! From afar, it looked as if the shrine was angered, and numerous Dragonites dashed out in fear!

Behind them, the Exodus Bone Dragon raised its head and gave out yet another deafening roar. Tens of Dragonites, which were of Boss levels, were sucked back by its breath, and they clawed desperately on the floor in an attempt to escape their fates!

Amidst all the reluctant cries and piercing clawing sounds, the Dragonites were flung up into the air. The Exodus Bone Dragon opened its blood-red mouth and clamped down onto them… but it did not bite into anything!

Even if the Exodus Bone Dragon was made up painstakingly from the best essence of all dragon kinds by the Vicious Black Dragon Moratti, it was ultimately still a Bone Dragon! As such, it could never eat anything!

After awakening from its deep slumber, the Exodus Bone Dragon naturally thought it should eat something since it felt hungry. However, as it regained its consciousness, it realized it could never eat anything, and it flew into a terrible rage! It shot out a rib bone from the right side of its body, and several Dragonites were torn apart immediately!

Ang—

Deadly, faint blue light shone out from the Exodus Bone Dragon’s sunken eyes, and it locked its gaze upon Lin Jie and his company. It stood up slowly, and with a light shake of its backbone, it stretched out two hole-filled wings, which were about half the size of the main shrine. The two wings overshadowed the entire shrine, emanating oppressive vibes.

With a flap of its wings, the Exodus Bone Dragon charged out instantly without any warning! Its hard ribs crashed against the floor and brought about massive explosions. Numerous Dragonites couldn’t run away in time and were killed!

“Don’t panic, this is just another Boss,” Lin Jie consoled Zheng Ziliang. Secretly, he was also reminding himself not to be intimidated—the moment he saw the Exodus Bone Dragon’s movements, he felt despair rising up in his heart and the thought of failing flashed across his mind. A Sub-Legendary Thunder Silver-Feathered Eagle would require near to 10,000 players’ combined efforts before it could fall down dead—so what would it take to bring down a Legendary level Exodus Bone Dragon? As the strongest natural species within The New Age – mutant monsters and human-made Marionettes were not considered as natural species – the prowess of the Exodus Bone Dragon was not to be underestimated!

[Exodus Bone Dragon] (Legendary Boss)

Level: ???

Health Points: ???

Attack: ???

Defense: ???

Skill: ???

Special Features: Scaled Drakeskin (Reduces 80% of physical and Mana attacks), Undead Creature (Ignore all Control-type skills and all Stats +300), Dragon Bloodline (For every 1% decrease in its health bar, all Stats will be increased by 5%), Dracaena Restlessness (Restores 10% of its health bar per second. This effect will be dependent on the type of Dragon Bloodline it belonged to.)

Looking at the information he got from the Identify spell, Lin Jie decided he had better not show Zheng Ziliang this information. Even though he had prepared himself for this mentally beforehand, he still couldn’t help but feel rather shaken up when he processed this unbeatable Stats in his mind…

If Lin Jie died in the game now, not only would he lose his hard-earned levels, but also Broken Blade! This was something that he could not afford to lose!

Meanwhile, Wine God Youngster stared on intently at the Exodus Bone Dragon, which was now just a few steps away from them. He pressed hardly onto Lin Jie’s shoulders with his right hand, and instructed, “Don’t panic now, focus your mind on something else! Calm yourself down first. Nothing can be achieved with a restless mind!”

‘Nothing can be achieved with a restless mind!’

Lin Jie’s pupils constricted and cried out, “Silver Feathered Eagle!”

“Screech—”

The Silver-Feathered Eagle responded to Lin Jie’s commands. It braved the dangers of being torn to pieces by the Exodus Bone Dragon, and shared what it saw from the air with Lin Jie!

The Dragonites… Numerous Dragonites were running away to save themselves! This could only mean one thing—the Exodus Bone Dragon couldn’t identify friend from foe, and it was a neutral monster!

Once an item came into contact with the Exodus Bone Dragon’s body, there would be a series of explosions and that item would be smashed to pieces. The explosions could instantly kill Dragonites which had HP of 80,000 or above. Just imagine: if Lin Jie and his company were the ones meeting the Exodus Bone Dragon’s wrath, they would definitely be killed on the spot!

Other than that, Lin Jie observed that the Bone Dragon’s wings seemed to be slightly damaged. This meant that its flying abilities must be affected somehow. By the looks of it, the dragon’s flying speed didn’t seem to be affected, so… the affected aspect must be its ability to turn around or switch to other directions!

The most important thing was this—since the Exodus Bone Dragon had left the main shrine, the Vicious Black Dragon Moratti would be left with no guards. Just imagine, if one was the King, and had arranged for the best general to protect you, coupled with numerous strong soldiers patrolling outside his castle, would he be in any danger?

Moratti would most probably still be in deep slumber now, and that meant…

“Chance!” Lin Jie’s eyes gleamed excitedly.

“Little Jie, are you possessed or what?” Zheng Ziliang turned back his head and shouted at them while running forward. “Get out of here now! I will go to attract its attention.”

Lin Jie was startled by his actions. “Stop—”

He was too late! When Zheng Ziliang ran forward to attract the Exodus Bone Dragon’s attention, he was knocked to death by the Dragonites which were running away frantically for their own dear lives! Zheng Ziliang’s body transformed into a black light and was sent out of the shrine.

Ding~

——’You are dead now. The power of the Moratti Shrine stopped the rules’ judgment, and hence you did not drop any levels.’

Zheng Ziliang’s body was not left behind. In fact, he was sent directly to the City of Light and got resurrected immediately. The moment he was revived, he was welcomed by several pretty female Holy Church’s Priests, and they addressed him as the ‘Hero of the Dragon’s Lair.’ In fact, they even served him delicious fruit wine, and the system compensated him with a 10% increase of EXP for killing monsters in the game within the next hour.

Zheng Ziliang was shocked. He ignored all the pretty female Priests standing in front of him- normally his legs would give way once he saw pretty girls – and shouted into his communication device, “Little Jie! Get out now, you won’t get punished for dying inside there!”

Ding~

——’The person you tried to contact is on a mission map.’

“I f*ck…” Zheng Ziliang threw down the communication device in anger.

‘What’s the matter with all these rewards? Wth, I can actually get such good rewards if I barge into a hidden map successfully? Then, shouldn’t the system give me tens of pretty girls if I go inside the Dark Shrine?’

‘No, something’s not right here…’ Zheng Ziliang calmed down and started thinking hard.

‘If Little Jie was here, how would he think?’

Following this trail of thought, Zheng Ziliang surmised that since the system lavished rewards on them so generously, most probably something had gone wrong. This was just like how the Red Dragon Queen roared at them.

Hence, this could only mean that their actions were not within the system’s expectations. Maybe the crux lied upon the Exodus Bone Dragon!

In other words, the group’s actions shouldn’t have awakened the Exodus Bone Dragon! This was unexpected by the system, and hence they had hurriedly compensated them.

‘Eh, that doesn’t make sense. The best reward would be to remove the penalty of losing EXP. Why still let all these pretty girls welcome me?’

Just then, Zheng Ziliang decided to look down into his backpack. He saw that the first space which was supposed to be storing the Azure Heart was empty! Horrified, he cursed out loud, “Game master (GM) you mother f*cker damned system, oh, my Azure Heart! My awesome Gargoyle! What, you are just compensating me with a few pretty girls only? Oh, WTH!”

The passersby scoffed at him. “Hello, this is a holographic game, and the whole game is manned by an entire control center. How will it have a GM? Are you an idiot?”

Zheng Ziliang was sad—absolutely sad! The reason why he was so magnanimous and bear to use the Water Overlord to save Wine God Youngster was that firstly, he thought he would look very suave; secondly, he thought the Azure Heart could let him make an even stronger Summoned Beast…

Yet now, he was left with nothing.

“Come, pretty girl, lend me your boobs… I mean your warm chests. I need to rest my head upon it to heal my hurting heart…” Zheng Ziliang leaned towards a female Priest with great boobs. What he did not expect was that the female Priest actually smiled, then beckoned a patrolling Paladin to come forth. She removed the Paladin’s Breastplate, patted on his muscular chest and commented, “Oh courageous adventurer, you can lean on here instead.”

“What the…”

…

At the Moratti Shrine.

Lin Jie witnessed Zheng Ziliang’s death right before his eyes. Before he could spare any moments to mourn for his best buddy, he and Wine God Youngster were forced to retreat to different corners of the shrine! The Exodus Bone Dragon’s body mechanisms had not recovered fully, and thus it was thrashing wildly all around in the shrine.

As it crashed onto the ground, a series of explosions were seen. A few hundred Guardian Dragonites were blasted to their deaths!

‘What an unfilial son you are! It’s not easy for your ‘mum’ to create so many Dragonites, and yet you are sending them to their deaths with just a single swing of your body!’

Lin Jie looked at the main shrine, which was opened wide now, and shouted, “Old Qing, I have an idea!”

“Shoot!” Wine God Youngster’s position wasn’t favorable at all—he was trapped within the crowds of the escaping Dragonites. Fortunately, these Dragonites did not target him. Wine God Youngster swerved around them with much difficulty and managed to keep himself alive for the time being.

“I will attract the monsters, you creep into the main shrine!” Lin Jie took out the Moratti Shrine Map and the Demonic Dragon’s Lair Map. With a wave of his hands, he summoned out the Tiger King Bangalash (Lin Jie was not in battle mode currently, and hence he could still ride on his mount)!

“There shouldn’t be any more monsters in the main shrine, so you can focus all your energy on getting the Demonic Dragon Crown! Please remember to get this item even if you don’t understand what I am saying now!”

As if a changed person, Wine God Youngster’s original calm eyes were suddenly ignited with fervor! Imposing vibes were emanated from every single ounce of his body as he shouted, “No, you go inside the main shrine, I will attract the monsters! In other words… You go ahead, I have your back!”

Waving his right hand, a Felsteed surrounded in hellfire all over appeared before their eyes!
