104: Emperor Sword

Li Changkong stared at the yellowed paper Xu Fu threw out and nodded blankly.

The paper was basically covered in dense text.

The items required for each Rank increase were different.

"As long as you drip your blood, it will recognize you as its master, but you need to think carefully."

Xu Fu looked at the broken sword, a pained expression still on his face.

"What should I pay attention to?"

Hearing this, Li Changkong couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Xu Fu spoke halfway, then shook his head again: "Nothing."

Although Li Changkong was puzzled, he didn't say much.

Following Xu Fu's instructions, he bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto the broken sword.

As soon as that drop of blood fell, the broken sword flickered slightly.

Immediately after, a wonderful sensation began to spread throughout his body.

The rusty spots on the broken sword gradually faded, revealing its true appearance.

Below the broken sword were two seal script characters: Tianzi.

"This sword is called Tianzi Sword," Xu Fu said from the side when he saw this.

"Tianzi Sword?"

Upon hearing this name, Li Changkong was slightly startled.

It wasn't that he had heard of this sword's reputation, but because a sword that could be called Tianzi should have been the personal sword of the ancestral Dragon.

【Name: Tianzi Sword (White)】

【Rank: No Rank】

【Attribute: Strength +50】

【Skill: Armor-Piercing Strike (Deals armor-piercing damage to the enemy and reduces the enemy's armor by 50% for three seconds.)】

【Upgrade Progress: 0%】

Looking at the attributes of the Tianzi Sword, Li Changkong's eyes widened even more.

The attributes of this Tianzi Sword were even more abnormal than he had imagined.

This was still a No Rank white equipment; generally, a white equipment that could add twenty Strength was already considered excellent.

But this Tianzi Sword, even in its white stage, had the terrifying attribute of increasing fifty Strength.

What's more, it came with a skill, which was extremely beneficial for melee fighters.

Weakening armor by fifty percent could be said to have an absolute counter effect against some monsters with high HP and high defense.

Now that white equipment was already so abnormal, wouldn't it be even more abnormal if it turned green or blue?

The consumables for synthesizing green and blue equipment were actually not precious.

Later, if he went to buy them himself, he should be able to get them.

"You may leave," Li Changkong said slowly, looking at Xu Fu.

"You're really letting me go?" Xu Fu was still a little disbelieving for a moment.

"Since I promised to let you go, I naturally won't go back on my word," Li Changkong nodded.

His main purpose in coming here this time was to prevent the task penalty from becoming real.

Now that the most important matter had been resolved, he didn't want to waste any more time here.

The strength of this Xu Fu in front of him was entirely reliant on those strange bugs to increase.

Now that those strange bugs were gone, he was essentially just an ordinary elite monster.

Even if he killed him, he wouldn't gain any rewards, and besides, he had already promised him, and Li Changkong didn't want to break his word.

Xu Fu himself could only survive in this Small World and had no way to leave.

Li Changkong was even less worried about encountering him again later, so he naturally maintained an indifferent attitude.

"If you want to obtain the imperial jade seal, there is actually a relatively close way," Xu Fu suddenly spoke from behind just as Li Changkong was about to leave.

Hearing Xu Fu suddenly speak, Li Changkong felt a bit surprised.

He asked in return, "Why would you tell me?"

"No matter what, we are both human, it's better than letting those monsters get it, right?"

"Moreover, you have already let me go. Repaying kindness is a very normal thing for me," Xu Fu spread his hands, showing a matter-of-fact expression.

As he spoke, he pointed to a large door next to him.

"As long as you pass through this door, you can reach a secret room at the bottom of the lake, and the imperial jade seal is in that place."

Li Changkong didn't believe Xu Fu's words one hundred percent.

However, going there now wouldn't do him any harm.

He walked to the large bronze door, and the door opened in response.

Inside the door was a long corridor, and he couldn't see what was ahead at a glance.

It wasn't until he had walked for more than ten minutes that he finally heard the sound of gurgling water.

After quickening his pace, he soon arrived inside a mysterious cave.

This cave was very strange; when he looked up, there was actually a lake above his head.

Looking at the appearance of this lake, Li Changkong remembered the lake he had seen before.

If he guessed correctly, what was above his head was the lake where all the beasts gathered.

However, there was a barrier that completely enveloped this cave.

Under the influence of this barrier, the water outside had no way of invading the cave.

At the other end of the cave, a mass of black chains lay broken on the ground; it looked like something had been locked up there before.

From the broken part of the chains, it could be seen that they had just broken not long ago.

Moreover, the thing that was locked by the chains must have been extremely large.

Otherwise, such a huge mass of chains wouldn't have been used to lock it.

Just as Li Changkong was wondering and preparing to go forward to check the situation, a strange roar came from afar.

This roar shook the heavens and the earth, and one could tell immediately that it was the sound of some terrifyingly powerful monster.

And the location of that monster should be in another cave.

Before Li Changkong could react, a huge claw stretched out from another cave.

The claw was covered in black scales, and an invisible pressure once again spread out.

And after this claw reached deep into the cave, another huge head stretched out from within.

Upon seeing the true appearance of this monster, Li Changkong's eyes widened even more, as if he had seen a ghost.

This was actually a huge Flood Dragon, its body dozens of meters long.

Its entire body was covered in black scales, giving people a chilling sensation.

Its eyes were like a pair of large lanterns, staring intently at Li Changkong.

The moment he saw this Flood Dragon, Li Changkong was already frozen in place.

The oppressive feeling this Flood Dragon gave him was even stronger than Xu Fu's earlier.

It seemed that the broken chains on the ground earlier were meant to confine it.

But strangely, as Li Changkong stood still, the Flood Dragon in the distance did not attack.

From the Flood Dragon's aggressiveness, it could be seen that it was not a benevolent Flood Dragon.
