57: The dark believer appears again, Liu Xiaoran's decision!
After taking care of Scarlet Silver Wind, Qin Yun turned his gaze with pleasure toward the other fleeing Dragon Monsters on the Long Nao Map.
After encountering the first wave of Golden Niu's attacks, they already knew that an invincible and terrifying Human Race Prodigy had arrived.
"This is too terrifying. This is a Prodigy we cannot defeat. I must go to the Forbidden Ground to bring reinforcements!"
The most powerful Dragon Monster King BOSS on the Long Nao Map, the [Crystal Green Dragon], did not choose to flee with the main group. Instead, it headed in the opposite direction, moving away from the Long Nao Map through a cave at the bottom of the swamp.
On this side.
A powerful team was methodically hunting Dragon Monsters near a lake connected to the Long Nao Map. The leader was a Westerner with blond hair and blue eyes, and his main Beast Tamer companion was a Golden-haired Eagle.
"Gaga ga, Captain Zai Zhi, you truly are the epic-level great Genius of our Beautiful Country. Even though these Dragon Monsters are so powerful, they are still no match for you!"
"That's right, the experience points from the Dragon Monsters in this map are so satisfying. At this rate, we will all reach the max Rank very soon. Once we do, we just need to find the Safe City to accept the advancement quest!"
"And the rare resources here are so abundant! Whether it's Materials for crafting equipment, the Material Stones needed for barriers, or other resources, they are just too easy to obtain!"
Zai Zhi, however, looked down on these resources: "You all really have a narrow vision. What do these meager resources count for? The good things in the hands of those NPCs in the Safe City are what's truly precious!"
Immediately after.
Zai Zhi looked at Liu Xiaoran, the only Easterner in the team.
She was a powerful Genius they had met by chance on this map. Like him, she was epic-level and one of the mainstays of this team!
"Young Miss Liu, I think highly of your potential. If the two of us could always join forces, we would definitely gain more in this map. Why don't you consider joining our Beautiful Country after we go out? I can use my Family's influence to get you a Beautiful Country green card immediately. How about it?"
Zai Zhi was not only attracted to Liu Xiaoran's beauty but also valued her Beast Tamer strength, which was not inferior to his own.
Liu Xiaoran remained expressionless and did not respond. In her heart, apart from Qin Yun, she did not look up to anyone else now.
The only reason she joined this team was that Zai Zhi's talent, Rank, and equipment were much better than hers, and joining forces with him allowed her to obtain more resources.
Suddenly!
A team member noticed an abnormality in the lake: "Captain Zai Zhi, it seems like something is about to burst out of the lake!"
"Hmm?"
Zai Zhi looked toward the lake.
He saw the lake bubbling continuously with large bubbles.
The next moment.
A huge green Crystal Green Dragon BOSS burst out of the lake, at least a hundred meters long.
"Oh no! Captain Zai Zhi, it's a Peak Fifth-Rank Dragon Monster King BOSS, and it looks like it has strong combat power!"
Everyone's expression changed.
"Shit! Wasn't this lake scouted to ensure there were no Dragon Monsters lurking? How could such a powerful BOSS suddenly appear?"
Although Zai Zhi considered his talent extraordinary, he also knew his own limitations.
Their team could handle ordinary Dragon Monster BOSSes, but dealing with a Fifth-Rank Dragon Monster King BOSS was just pure masochism!
Liu Xiaoran's expression also changed slightly.
Her Rank was not high enough yet. Let alone a Fifth-Rank Dragon Monster King BOSS, she wasn't even a match for a Third-Rank Dragon Monster King BOSS!
"Captain, what should we do?"
"What else can we do?! This BOSS is not something we can contend with. Run!"
At this moment, the Crystal Green Dragon King also noticed this team of Beast Tamers and immediately found a target to vent its anger.
Damn it!
If it couldn't deal with that mysterious Prodigy, could it not even deal with these few Beast Tamers?
It wanted to take the fright and humiliation it had received from that mysterious Prodigy and retaliate tenfold against this group of Human Race Beast Tamers.
"Roar!"
The Crystal Green Dragon King BOSS immediately let out a furious roar and, with an overwhelming Aura, charged directly toward this group of people.
"Ah!!! This BOSS seems to have gone mad. Captain Zai Zhi, what should we do?"
"Fuck! You're asking me! Who am I supposed to ask!"
Zai Zhi was very anxious. How could a Peak Dragon Monster King BOSS suddenly appear out of nowhere? And it was so full of Killing Intent; even if they didn't die this time, they would be severely injured!
"How could this happen? I don't want to die here!"
Liu Xiaoran was trembling with fear and had no choice but to pin her hopes on Zai Zhi: "Captain Zai Zhi, save me. If I can survive this calamity, I can consider joining the Beautiful Country!"
But suddenly!
To save himself, Zai Zhi grabbed Liu Xiaoran and threw her forcefully toward the pursuing Crystal Green Dragon King.
"Zai Zhi, you damn bastard!"
Liu Xiaoran cursed, but she had no choice but to accept reality.
In the face of a life-and-death crisis, beauty traps and talent were all empty; surviving was the only thing that mattered.
At this moment, she saw through this hypocritical world; only possessing powerful strength was real.
Roar!
The Crystal Green Dragon King BOSS naturally would not show mercy to a lady. It opened its bloody mouth, intending to swallow Liu Xiaoran in one bite.
At the critical moment of life and death!
A dark figure emerged from the shadows on the side and, with extreme speed, snatched Liu Xiaoran from the mouth of the Crystal Green Dragon King BOSS.
"Heh! I'll take this Human Race girl!"
The Crystal Green Dragon King BOSS stared coldly at the guy who had suddenly appeared, but it did not refute, nor did it attack this guy; instead, it turned around and continued to chase the others.
At this moment.
Having just experienced a brush with death, Liu Xiaoran was still terrified. She looked in horror at the mysterious dark guy who had suddenly appeared.
"Beautiful Human Race young lady, hello! I mean no harm. I am an NPC who walks in the darkness!"
The person revealed his face; he was actually a humanoid NPC with skin like obsidian.
"NPC?"
Liu Xiaoran was stunned for a moment when she saw the information displayed about him, but when she thought about how there were indeed some wandering NPCs in the Dragon Abyss Ancient Land who roamed between different maps, she calmed down.
However, Liu Xiaoran could not determine whether the other party was an evil NPC or a neutral NPC.
She didn't have Golden Niu's powerful Divine Eye, which could see through the other party's disguise. This was actually a Dark Believer.
It turned out that.
After Qin Yun killed Lei Tuo, the leader of the Dark Believers angrily ordered some subordinates to recruit Human Race Genius believers to confirm Qin Yun's identity, find Qin Yun, and carry out revenge!
Coincidentally, Barto, a Dark Believer on this map, had taken a fancy to Liu Xiaoran and wanted to entice and recruit her to become a new believer!
"Little girl, I can feel that you crave strength. It just so happens that I have a method that can make you strong immediately, much stronger than anyone else!"
Barto enticed her.
Liu Xiaoran was not stupid; she knew there was no such thing as a free lunch.
But after experiencing a life-and-death crisis, she seemed to have lost herself. She now craved powerful strength immensely so that she could control her own destiny.
She wanted to become strong!
Stronger than anyone else!
Even if it meant falling into darkness!
"What method?"
"Believe in the great Divine King of the Otherworld Beasts BOSS, Lord Oxi! You will receive the great Divine Power of Lord Oxi, and at the same time, you will also receive the gift from our leader, obtaining a set of legendary equipment!"
"What?"
Liu Xiaoran realized that the other party might be the Dark Believers mentioned in the system prompts!
"You only have two paths you can take now: one is to join us, and the other is to become a corpse. You should understand how to choose. Don't worry, after joining us, we will not restrict your freedom; on the contrary, you will have absolute freedom!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiaoran also knew that her fate was now in the other party's hands. To survive, and also to change her own destiny, she gritted her teeth and made a decisive choice!
"Fine, I'll join!"
"Very good! You will feel honored for your wise choice today, heh heh heh!"
