Chapter 539: Three statues

The camp.

The four members of the vanguard group had already finished a round of killing and returned to the camp for a short rest.

All of a sudden.

Their expressions changed at the same time.

"The captain’s side lost a member in battle"

"Ahaha, that’s right!"

"It’s that Assassin — — wait, there’s also a sniper!"

"That’s right"

Everyone stood up and stared at the expeditionary army UI in front of them.

A few moments later.

"Alan lost his position as captain, seems like he doesn’t have any more Merit" a muscular man with a giant hammer commented.

"If he’s not the captain — —"

"Hehe, this guy is using his position as captain to keep embezzling our Merit, if you ask me ..."

"Avoiding the investigation of the Sequences would require a bit of effort, or we could just apply for a new mode"

"We have to catch them off guard ... I know you’re all interested, how about we give it a try together?"

They looked at each other and laughed.

...

Rumble rumble — —

The giant bronze gate opened to both sides.

Three majestic dragon statues appeared in front of them.

If you looked closely, these dragon statues were a bit too extravagant, a bit different from reality.

— — -The dragon race’s pursuit of beauty was almost morbid, so much so that they often led the fashion trends of many worlds.

For example, the eyes of these three statues were not the traditional vertical pupils. Instead, they were large and round, sparkling and translucent eyes that were shrouded in mist.

They had even created heart-shaped eyes in the past.

But that was already outdated.

The current trend was to have these cute eyes — — -

When killing someone, a pair of eyes like this would make them appear even more innocent and beneficial to the race’s image.

Liu Ping’s group looked down at the three statues.

Under the first statue, there was a groove. Under the groove, there was a human word:

[Treasure]

Below the second statue, there was also a groove with a single word written below:

[Dragon]

Below the third statue, there was also a groove with a single word written below:

[Personal weapon]

Behind these three statues was a large gate that emanated terrifying spell energy fluctuations.

"Can the two of you break through that gate?" Liu Ping asked.

"We can’t, it can kill us in an instant." Delia replied.

"From the looks of it, we’ll have to fulfill the conditions of these three statues in order to enter that gate." Alan pondered.

"I don’t think that’s the case. The dragons’ way of thinking has always been different from ours." Delia said.

"Why don’t we get someone to try it first?" Aland asked.

He looked directly at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping did not mind. After all, among the three of them, he seemed to be the weakest.

He walked straight to the first statue.

Unexpectedly, he was stopped by Delia after taking a few steps.

"You’re still a little weak, and the Dragon Clan is notoriously difficult to deal with. Let me try first," she said.

Liu Ping looked grateful and cupped his fists. "Delia, thank you for taking care of me. I will repay you in the future."

After saying that, he glanced at the three dragon statues.

It was said that the dragon race was smart.

Those dragons, if you’re really watching this scene, you should know from my words that she’s my friend. You can’t harm her.

The Green Dragon is still in my hands.

Hearing his words, Delia and Aland shook their heads and laughed.

"It seems that Delia protected you at karma’s place just now. I was wondering how you could survive unscathed," Aland said with a smile.

Delia smiled and said, "Liu Ping, we’re in the same team. I’m the temporary team leader now, so I naturally have to go first. You don’t have to thank me."

She walked straight to the bottom of the first dragon statue and looked at the word "treasure" engraved on it. After thinking for a while, she took out a gemstone from her arms.

"This is a gemstone I found in a destroyed ruin. It’s said to be very rare —"

She raised the gemstone against the dim light in the hall.

The light passed through the gemstone and shot out waves of magnificent deep light, forming a beautiful and blurry shadow in the darkness.

The shadow seemed to have a life of its own, constantly changing its shape with the breath of the wind.

"It’s a Divine Source Crystal ... Oh my god, is she crazy ..."

Aland murmured absent-mindedly.

Liu Ping’s gaze fell on the gemstone, and lines of small burning words appeared in front of his eyes.

[Divine Source Crystal.]

[A rare item.]

[It can transform all darkness, giving it the attribute of light and turning it into a divine item.]

[— — Light is the source of everything. Even darkness needs light as a foil.]

[— — A priceless treasure.]

Liu Ping was also a little surprised.

He didn’t expect Delia to take out such a treasure.

"Hey, that’s very expensive, why are you giving that to the Dragon race!" he shouted from afar.

"With it, I can’t figure out what is light and what is darkness. Might as well give it away." Delia said.

After saying that, she put the gemstone into the groove.

Ting!

A soft sound came from the groove.

Immediately after, a grand and majestic voice sounded in the hall.

"Respectable close-combat mage, you’re willing to give up such a treasure. The Dragon race will definitely not mistreat a generous friend like you."

The dragon statue seemed to have come alive. The dragon head faced down and spat out a treasure chest at Delia.

Delia waved her hand.

The treasure chest floated in front of her and opened automatically.

The treasure chest was filled with countless gemstones, and the light they emitted directly illuminated the entire hall.

The magnificent Divine Source Crystal was also in the treasure chest.

It flew up and landed back in Delia’s hand, illuminating her into a holy and graceful portrait.

Aland stood not far away. He put on his glasses and took a look. He immediately panted heavily.

"A total of 8,888 merit points! Delia, you’re rich! "

He said with jealousy.

"Is 8888 points a lot?" Liu Ping asked.

"Of course, we can only get two or three hundred Merits after fighting for an entire day, and we’re also in danger of losing our lives at any time." Aland said.

Delia smiled and said, "I’m a little surprised that the Dragon race is so generous, but since they’ve given it to me, I’ll accept it."

She reached out and pressed on the treasure chest, and it instantly disappeared.

After doing all this, Delia looked at the second statue.

Just as she was about to walk over, she heard the sonorous voice ring out once more.

"A person can only make one choice. Don’t be greedy, or else you’ll have to face death."

Delia had no choice but to stop.

Liu Ping and Aland looked at each other.

"You have a dragon corpse, maybe it’ll work. Why don’t you give it a try?" Aland asked.

"Okay, I’ll go." Liu Ping said.

This was an open way to hand over the green dragon, and it wouldn’t arouse Aland and Delia’s suspicions.

Liu Ping even felt that this was a way the Dragon race had prepared for a long time.

He walked to the statue step by step and muttered to himself:

"I only have a dragon corpse, and I don’t know if I can meet the requirements. Will there be any danger?"

He took out the dragon card and placed it in the card slot under the dragon-shaped statue.

The card disappeared instantly.

The void above the hall retreated to both sides like a curtain.

A ring fell and silently floated in front of Liu Ping.

At the same time, the majestic voice sounded again:

"Honorable cultivator, this is the emblem of friendship of the Dragon race. As long as you wear it on your hand, you can go wherever the Dragon race is, and we’ll treat you as a friend."

At the same time, the same description appeared on the heroic spirit’s interface in front of Liu Ping.

This really is the "emblem of friendship of the Dragon race"!

It seems that these dragons are still very grateful to me for saving the green dragon.

"Thanks."

Liu Ping put the ring on his finger.

He looked at the other two.

Delia smiled and said, "Congratulations, the Dragon Race rarely trusts outsiders. Now that you’ve obtained this ring, your future path will be much easier."

"The place where the Dragon race is, if it’s not full of treasures, it’s an extremely precious secret. Liu Ping, you’re in luck." Aland added.

He stared at the ring on Liu Ping’s finger, unwilling to move his eyes away.

"You have to be careful of him." Delia sent a voice transmission, somewhat worried.

"Okay," Liu Ping replied.

In the air, the sonorous voice resounded once more:

"There’s only one statue left. The last person left, if you don’t have the courage to step forward, then leave our treasury."

Alan stood up and said loudly, "Who said I don’t have courage?"

He finally shifted his gaze away from Liu Ping’s ring. He first glanced at Delia, then at Liu Ping.

Both of them received decent rewards.

Could it be that he was inferior to them?

He strode to the third statue and looked at the words "Personal Weapon" written on the base of the statue. After a moment of hesitation, he pulled out the sword at his waist.

"This is the sword of a Sword Saint. Its sharpness is unparalleled and rarely seen in the world. Today, I will offer it to the Dragon Clan."

Alan said loudly.

He followed Delia and Liu Ping’s example and placed the longsword in the groove.

Liu Ping shook his head slightly.

A swordsman actually gave up his own sword.

In the cultivation world, such an action could already be considered as losing one’s Dao heart.

The sword is a swordsman’s most loyal comrade.

If you give up your personal sword, how can you cultivate the path of the sword?

Clang — —

The longsword was placed in the groove and let out an uneven sound.

It instantly disappeared without a trace.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

There was no reaction from the air.

Alan couldn’t help but ask: "How is it now? Just like the previous two, I completed my contribution according to your request. "

Just as he was getting more and more anxious, the void of space moved.

An emerald green helmet descended from the sky and landed in front of him.

At the same time, the sonorous and dignified voice resounded again:

"Congratulations, mortal. You have earned our trust with your courage and contributions, and thus you have obtained this special Green Dragon Battle Helmet."

Alan couldn’t wait to take the helmet in his hand, put the lens on his left eye and carefully looked at it.

"A special creation of the dragon race — — the AI can’t explain further — — speaking of which, what’s the use of this helmet?" he looked up and asked.

"The Green Dragon Helmet represents that you are a member of our Dragon Clan. In the future, as long as you wear this helmet at all times, the Dragon Clan will treat you as the most important guest and prepare all the treasures you want for you," the voice said.

Alan gripped the helmet tightly, and the helmet instantly emitted a dragon-type power fluctuation.

As soon as he let go, the fluctuation disappeared.

He quickly gripped the helmet again.

The fluctuation slowly appeared and steadily emitted power fluctuations in all directions.

Aland wiped the sweat off his cheeks. After a long time, he finally said, "Don’t worry.

"... That’s a good deal."

He put on the helmet and knocked it with his hand, giving off a pleasant metallic sound.

"Quite sturdy."

Alan said happily.

Not far away, Liu Ping glanced at his emerald green helmet.

Lines of small burning words appeared in front of his eyes:

[No deceit can be hidden from you]

[You’ve seen through the various draconic spells that enveloped the helmet, and helped this Sequence understand the true function of this helmet]

[Helmet: Emerald Green Helmet of Hatred]

[Creation of the dragon race]

[Cannot be taken off during battle]

[This helmet has an extremely strong self-protection ability and is not responsible for defensive work. All damage will be borne by the wearer first. After the wearer dies, this helmet will automatically come off]

[The wearer’s charm will be reduced by 10]

[Special effect: When the dragon race’s attack spells hit the wearer of this helmet, the damage will be increased by 1000%]

[When all dragons see this helmet, they will know that the human wearing this badge is the mortal enemy of the dragon race. They must think of a way to kill him, remember!]

Liu Ping was looking at the prompt, and Delia was already frowning.

"Alan, your helmet is too green, it doesn’t match your silver-scaled golden armor, it’s ugly"

She said bluntly.

Alan was high-spirited and laughed: "This is a creation of the dragon race, it’s very sturdy — — you women really like to care about unimportant things."

"I just feel uncomfortable looking at it. Forget it, do whatever you want." Delia turned her head and couldn’t be bothered to look at him again.

Liu Ping silently lowered his head and couldn’t be bothered to say a word.

— — These dragon cubs are too ruthless.
