Chapter 1299 - Chapter 1299 Chapter 1301 Acknowledgment

Chapter 1299: Chapter 1301: Acknowledgment Chapter 1299: Chapter 1301: Acknowledgment The Flame Giant Dragon Yali Fu hovered in the air, her red robe trailing behind her like wings, gently supporting her as she descended to the edge of the lava pit.

Staring at the lava pit with an ashen face, Yali Fu still looked furiously incensed. Observing the high-temperature magma that constantly churned on the surface, Yali Fu extended her right hand and gently pointed into the lava pit.

A dazzling red light burst forth from her fingertip. With a “swoosh,” a beam as thick as a finger shot into the magma.

Roar~

A bestial roar exploded from the lava pit as an Evil Fire Phoenix, its body covered in magma, burst forth. Nuo Stan, in his current state, looked extremely disheveled; his originally splendid feathers were all gone, replaced by a layer of charred feathers that clung tightly to his skin, making him appear quite grotesque.

In the chest of the Phoenix, there was a fist-sized penetrating wound. Looking through the wound, one could see a heart that was only two-thirds intact, stubbornly beating. However, copious amounts of blood were gushing out, causing the vitality of the Evil Fire Phoenix Nuo Stan to grow increasingly feeble.

“You, how did you discover I wasn’t dead…” The Evil Fire Phoenix landed and transformed back into the human Nuo Stan, who knelt on one knee, supported himself with one hand on the ground, barely lifted his head, and stared at Yali Fu as he asked.

“Child’s play!” Yali Fu didn’t seem the least bit inclined to explain to Nuo Stan. Her eyes, formerly crystal red, suddenly changed into dark gold with vertical pupils. Two beams of golden light shot from her eyes and fiercely struck Nuo Stan’s body.

With no strength to resist, Nuo Stan was sent flying as if hit by a train, crashing through a hill and landing heavily on the ground.

“The rest is up to you, kill him!” Yali Fu turned to glance at Song Jian and said.

Though the murderous intent emanating from Yali Fu wasn’t directed at Song Jian, his look alone still made Song Jian feel as if he had fallen into a chilly abyss. Nodding towards Yali Fu, Song Jian tightened his grip on the Sky-breaking Sword and leapt towards Nuo Stan.

Open Heaven!

With a single thought, Sword Qi surged like a tide into the Sky-breaking Sword. A wisp of chaotic Sword Qi was nurtured within the dantian, travelling along Song Jian’s meridians with the other Sword Qi, flowing into the Sky-breaking Sword.

Wherever the chaotic Sword Qi passed, the meridians screamed with tearing pain. During its course, Song Jian noticed that this strand of chaotic Sword Qi seemed to even absorb other Sword Qi to strengthen itself. Though the change was minuscule due to the short time it had, Song Jian would not have noticed such a subtle shift had his strength not slightly improved.

Nuo Stan watched as the phantom of a giant axe slowly appeared in the air, a look of utter despair crossing his face.

“If I hadn’t just awoken, if the Dragon Soul Guard hadn’t injured my soul, if not for that Giant Dragon, how could you, an ant, possibly…” Nuo Stan laughed maniacally.

Before he could finish, the Open Heaven Axe descended fiercely onto him. A damage number in the tens of millions floated up from Nuo Stan’s head, taking away his last bit of vitality.

Boom!

A dark purple flame ignited on Nuo Stan’s body, enveloping him entirely. In a short while, his body turned to ashes, and next to the pile of ash, a purple-golden treasure chest appeared.

Suddenly, a white light surged around Song Jian’s body. Killing the Blaze Phoenix granted him a great deal of combat experience, and his level had risen by one.

However, compared to the level increase, Song Jian was still captivated by the treasure chest beside the ashes.

“Legendary Treasure Box!” Song Jian’s eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but step forward and pick up the chest.

Although the participation of the Dragon Soul Guard and the Flame Giant Dragon Yali Fu caused the quality of the treasure box dropped by Nuo Stan to decline, seeing the legendary glow of the treasure box, Song Jian still felt somewhat surprised.

Knowing his own strength, the idea of killing Nuo Stan was an impossible feat. Although Nuo Stan was just in the initial stage of his attributes and had not reached the peak of his power, he was still not someone Song Jian could deal with at the moment.

That is also why, with the Dragon Soul Guard and Yali Fu participating in the kill, Nuo Stan still dropped a legendary-grade treasure box upon death; his strength was simply too far beyond that of an ordinary Legendary Realm Boss.

“Lady Yali Fu, this is the skull of that Necromancer!” Song Jian handed a palm-sized white jade skull to Yali Fu. It was a quest item that appeared in Song Jian’s inventory automatically after the death of the Necromancer. Although it was not Song Jian who killed the Necromancer himself, his death was indirectly due to Song Jian, so when the Evil Fire Phoenix killed him, the system recognized that Song Jian had completed the task.

“All these riffraff who trespassed into the Dragon Bone Wasteland deserve to die!” Yali Fu grabbed the Necromancer’s skull and squeezed it with force, crushing it into powder with her hand.

Crushing the bones of the Necromancer by hand seemed to improve Yali Fu’s mood somewhat. She glanced at Song Jian and nodded slightly, “Your performance this time has exceeded our expectations. From now on, you will become a member of the Dragon Clan and can proclaim yourself as part of the Dragon Clan to outsiders!”

Under normal circumstances, the Dragon Clan would only acknowledge Song Jian as a battle companion and would not consider him a member of the Dragon Clan. However, this mission, by a happy accident, eliminated a significant hidden danger in the Dragon Bone Wasteland. The dragon priests did not expect that the Necromancer would cause such trouble, summoning so many bone behemoths and concealing them so well right under their noses.

If it was not for Song Jian, it’s likely that the Necromancer would not have exposed all these bone behemoths.

Most importantly, the dragon priests never imagined that an Evil Fire Phoenix was in hiding underground in the Dragon Bone Wasteland. A mature Evil Fire Phoenix is comparable to a demigod, and its early exposure can be considered resolving a potential threat for the Dragon Clan.

As a result, the dragon priests acknowledged Song Jian, granting him the privileges and benefits of the Dragon Clan.

In the reputation column, because of capturing the Black Dragon as a battle pet, Song Jian’s reputation with the Dragon Clan was exceedingly low, already at the absolute bottom of indifference. Just a bit lower, and it would turn into hatred.

But now, after being acknowledged by the dragon priestess Yali Fu, Song Jian’s reputation with the Dragon Clan instantly rose to respect, just over twenty thousand points shy of reaching reverence.

If Song Jian were determined enough to stay in the Dragon Bone Wasteland for a year and a half, completing tasks every day to raise his Dragon Clan reputation to worship, he would not only be able to purchase those precious treasures from the treasures of the Dragon Clan but also be able to hire Giant Dragons to fight for him.

After all, the Dragon Clan greatly enjoys collecting treasures. The items that appear in the Dragon Clan’s treasure are absolutely the top-grade equipment that players dream of obtaining.

“Come back with me,” Yali Fu returned to her Giant Dragon form, twisted her head towards Song Jian, and motioned for him to mount her back.

Song Jian was suddenly filled with a sense of honored surprise. The Dragon Clan typically despises having anyone ride on their back. Yali Fu’s willingness to let Song Jian mount her back was evidently a form of recognition toward him.

Once Song Jian was seated securely, the Flame Giant Dragon spread its wings wide and soared into the sky, flying towards the location of the Dragon God Hall.
