Chapter 989: Chapter 989

As the badly wounded Red Dragon finally succumbed to Lin Yucha’s arrow piercing through the back of its head, that dragon was no more.

Du You immediately looked up and said, "Be careful, with the dragon dead, the Dragon King might appear." The territorial awareness of the Dragon Clan is very strong, and every piece of land they inhabit has a king.

Just as in this fragment of the world, there definitely was a Dragon King. However, after waiting a while, Du You discovered nothing, which he found somewhat odd.

"Why is there no Dragon King? It can’t be this one, right?" Du You looked at the dead Red Dragon.

"Definitely not, given the pride of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon King would certainly reside at the central location, which this is not," Lin Yucha shook her head and pointed at the Red Dragon, "Moreover, this Red Dragon seems to have reached adulthood not long ago."

Du You nodded, indeed that was the case. After opening the sphere, Du You had collected some materials from the Dragon Clan, and also a bottle. "It looks like we don’t need to test; this guy has let his lineage burst out himself."

Du You looked at the bottle in his hand, the fallen Red Dragon lineage, still a high lineage. He wondered if the addition of the word "fallen" would affect the price much, probably reducing it considerably.

"Just because it has Dark Attribute, it’s considered fallen? Who did Dark Attribute ever harm?" Du You rolled his eyes. He too had the Dark Attribute, but Du You never considered himself corrupted.

"The crystal cores of mature dragons are good stuff, and so are those specific pieces of dragon skin from their bodies. Let’s take those and go." As for dragon blood, it’s good when hot, but not so much when cooled.

They needed to use Crystal Coins to claim the items they took, and the dragon blood wasn’t very effective when certified, so it was better left behind. The same went for other parts of the dragon body; most would be a waste to take back, so it was best to only take the most valuable parts.

Then, the group continued to move around, looking for more. During this search, they found several dragons, all with mixed lineages and numbering in the teens. One by one, they hunted them down, and after each hunt, Du You was greatly disappointed with the bloodline tests; these lineages weren’t useful for him.

Although, for others, these lineages were already quite high.

Luckily, along their hunting path, despite the world’s instability, they managed to obtain some good stuff.

Dragon Head Pendant: Purifies the spirit, provides mental protection. Effectively resists curses. (Deep Yellow)

Because of the curse resistance effect, Du You immediately swapped it, replacing his original Earth Dragon’s Eye Necklace. After testing, Du You found that with this pendant, the effects of the Death God’s curse on him were significantly lessened.

Moreover, Du You realized that his few pieces of equipment had all turned yellow or higher; he didn’t have even one green piece left. Being able to assemble a set of yellow-tier equipment at the fourth tier was quite impressive. Maybe the quantity wasn’t complete or the combination not perfectly sensible, but achieving this was definitely enviable.

Also, during a previous hunt, they had obtained two Dragon Armor Knee Pads, perfect for replacing the sisters’ Vajra Battle Boots.

Dragon Armor Knee Pads: Increase speed by 35, boost defense by 34, double leg armor, and add 33 to leg attacks. (Yellow)

Looking carefully, Lin Yucha had also replaced all her green equipment, whereas Lin Yushi still had two pieces, a belt and a ring. These would have to wait until later to be addressed.

Obtaining equipment wasn’t easy, and Du You had no other means but to procure them through hunting and completing tasks himself. Although his efficiency was much higher than others, it wasn’t guaranteed that he would obtain something every time.

In this unstable world, having any benefit was already difficult.

However, after hunting more than a dozen of the Dragon Clan, Du You finally noticed that all the surrounding dragons had been killed, and throughout this process, the local Dragon King had never appeared.

"Let’s go to the center and see, we don’t know what situation has arisen," Du You said as he cautiously approached with the two sisters. Follow current novels on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵✶𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✶𝓷𝓮𝓽

When the group finally arrived at the very center, they discovered the place resembled a valley. A huge dragon, completely black, was lying on the ground asleep, with a black pond behind it. Nearby, there were many scattered bones of creatures, even including bones from other members of the Dragon Clan.

"So it was sleeping here, it must be a really deep sleeper, not to notice the deaths of so many dragons."

Du You smiled, relieved there were no other changes. "Looking at this color, this must be a fine dragon with a very pure lineage, perhaps my lineage will fall on this fellow."

Du You originally wanted to find a Shadow Dragon, but Shadow Dragons belonged to a special category of elemental dragons, not ordinary ones. Although they might exist in the Dark Dragon Valley, they weren’t easy to find.

If the Attribute of the dragon before him was pure, Du You wouldn’t mind using this one.

For Du You, as long as the lineage contained pure power, that was sufficient; he had no other particular demands. Indeed, this requirement was already quite special for dark creatures.

He was still worried that any impurity in the dark power could affect his spirit, and even his personality.

"Master, what should we do?" Lin Yucha whispered.

"We’ll still perform a stealth attack, but this time the timing is just right, let’s plan it out," Du You first summoned his Summoned Beasts back, then began whispering a plan with the two sisters.

The planning was swift. After a short while, once everyone’s Magic Power and physical strength were restored, Du You prepared to fight. He decided against setting traps because he was worried that setting them might alert the creature.

After the three of them approached to a certain distance, they launched their attacks simultaneously. Du You was the first to quietly gather his Energy Gathering Magic Cannon. After noticing there was no response from the opponent, he charged it to the maximum, then pointed forward.

Almost at the same time, arrows shot by the two sisters also flew out.

The Energy Gathering Magic Cannon hit the softest part of the belly of the Shadow Dragon, immediately causing its skin to burst and flesh to tear. Even though they both were of the Dark Attribute, the attack was too powerful and still exceeded the dragon’s own defense limits.

Before the Shadow Dragon could even open its eyes, the Spiral Snipe came flying in, piercing through one of the Shadow Dragon’s eyes.

In the midst of agonized screams, Lin Yushi’s Soul Spikes had already penetrated the soul of the Shadow Dragon. It then began to rapidly grow, continuously draining the soul power of the Shadow Dragon, weakening its condition.
