98: Chapter 98 Good heavens, all the lucky ones have arrived?
Taking a break, Xu Qin opened the Human Race chat channel again.
The channel, which had been relatively quiet three days ago, was now as lively as an exploding pot.
The speed at which messages were scrolling made Xu Qin almost think he had returned to the day he first transmigrated.
He scrolled down.
Good grief, the entire screen was filled with one name.
James · Dragon Race.
Xu Qin raised an eyebrow.
Good grief, it's that kid from the Dragon Race!
He hurriedly scrolled up to find the earliest related messages.
Fang Che · Human Race: Heavens, how did someone from the Dragon Race come to the ruins!
Fang Che · Human Race: Five dragons! Five! They flew down directly from the sky and breathed fire into the crowd!
Fang Che · Human Race: Three lords from the southern camp were wiped out on the spot!
Zhao Ming · Human Race: ?? That Dragon Race guy? Good grief, it really is him. He's actually still alive?
Sun Lei · Elf Race: Damn, who is James? Does anyone know him?
James · Dragon Race: Hello everyone.
James · Dragon Race: Sorry, my dragons are quite hungry. That was accidental injury just now.
James · Dragon Race: I have no intention of being enemies with everyone; I was just passing through to forage for food.
The channel instantly exploded.
Li Wei · Human Race: You call that accidental injury? Three lords were roasted to death by you directly, do you know that?
Barton · Dwarf Race: Five dragons breathing fire into a crowd, you call that foraging?
Han Yu · Dwarf Race: No martial virtue!
Zorn · Goblin Race: Holy crap, how did one choose the Dragon Race? I didn't see that option when I was choosing my race back then!
Chen Mo · Human Race: Good luck. It must be a hidden race; the probability is extremely low.
James · Dragon Race: I can't help it either. Dragons have huge appetites; if I don't fight monsters, they will starve to death. This isn't something I can control.
James · Dragon Race: I really was just passing by. When they saw so many people gathered together, the dragons just rushed over on their own.
James · Dragon Race: Can I just apologize?
Li Wei · Human Race: Apologize? People are dead, and you're talking to me about apologizing?
Han Yu · Dwarf Race: Put your dragons away first, then we'll talk.
James · Dragon Race: I can't. I don't have enough food for them. They have to be outside to feed and recover their stamina.
Xu Qin scrolled down.
The subsequent content was severely polarized.
One group was cursing James for being a jerk, saying he was feigning innocence when he was clearly here for the Relic.
Another group was bootlicking.
Qin Feng · Human Race: Brother James, can we add each other as friends? I think what you said makes sense; dragons really do need to eat.
Wang Cheng · Human Race: Boss James, I have excess meat resources here that I can provide to feed your dragons. Please protect me.
Seeing this, Xu Qin's mouth twitched.
Are they bootlicking this quickly?
He continued reading down.
Gross · Dwarf Race: You're just here to snatch the Relic, right? Stop pretending.
James · Dragon Race: Everyone has the right to take the Relic; why can't I?
James · Dragon Race: Besides, I haven't gotten it yet.
Gross · Dwarf Race: ? You haven't gotten it?
James · Dragon Race: I was stopped.
Zhao Ming · Human Race: Who stopped you? Even five dragons could be stopped?
Lord Lin Yi · Human Race: The Angel Race lord from the eastern camp made a move.
Lord Lin Yi · Human Race: And the Demon Hunter Race lord came too.
Lord Lin Yi · Human Race: The situation at the ruins right now is that the Dragon Race, Angel Race, and Demon Hunter Race are keeping each other in check; no one can get in.
Xu Qin widened his eyes.
He knew about the Angel Race.
How is there also a Demon Hunter Race?
He scrolled further and, sure enough, saw more information popping up.
Sun Lei · Elf Race: That's right, I saw it from a distance. The Angel Race lord is named Chen Wei, and he has over a dozen winged Angel units under his command, flying in the air and confronting the dragons.
Fang Che · Human Race: The one from the Demon Hunter Race is named Cale, and his units are a group of black-armored Demon Hunters covered in chains.
Barton · Dwarf Race: Good grief, all sorts of lucky players are popping up.
Zorn · Goblin Race: So, when we were choosing our races back then, were we all scammed?
Li Wei · Human Race: I was quite happy when I chose the Human Race, but now that I see the Dragon Race and Angel Race, I'm not happy anymore.
Han Yu · Dwarf Race: Don't envy them. This kind of thing depends on fate; even if you have great ability, you might not necessarily be able to choose it.
Xu Qin put down the channel, leaned back on his bone throne, and began to hesitate.
Dragon Race, Angel Race, Demon Hunter Race.
The names of these races were more explosive than the last.
Especially the Dragon Race and Angel Race; he had seen these two right after he chose the Undead Race, so he had a deep impression of them.
Up until now, the reason he had been grinding levels in fear every day was because of the existence of these races.
Just hearing the names, he knew that the initial unit stats were definitely not low.
Especially the Dragon Race.
Xu Qin recalled the scattered intelligence he had seen in the channel before.
James had leaked the Dragon Race's initial unit stats.
Attack power 1888, Level 1!
One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight!
His Stitched Bone Beast +40 only had 187 attack power.
A ten-fold difference!
"..."
Xu Qin rubbed his face.
How about... I don't go?
No way!
He would have to encounter them sooner or later, and the fact that other lords were still alive meant that the situation on the scene might not be as serious as he thought.
Don't jump to conclusions just yet.
He reopened the channel and continued scrolling down, specifically looking for messages analyzing the actual combat situation.
Sure enough, dozens of messages later, people started revealing intelligence.
Gross · Dwarf Race: Don't be intimidated by the dragons! Let me tell you the truth!
Gross · Dwarf Race: James only has five dragons! Five!
Gross · Dwarf Race: And after those dragons breathe fire once, they have to lie on the ground and rest for a good while before they can breathe fire a second time!
Gross · Dwarf Race: Those three lords in the southern camp were wiped out in one wave because they were completely unprepared. If you are prepared and spread out your positions, it wouldn't burn many people to death at all!
Lord Lin Yi · Human Race: I can confirm. The dragons' flame coverage radius is about fifteen meters, and the single-hit damage is indeed terrifying. But the interval is very long, visually estimated to be at least two minutes or more.
Lord Lin Yi · Human Race: Also, James's dragons have no armor bonuses, just pure flesh. Archers from the southern camp focused fire on one dragon for five minutes and took off one-third of its HP.
Lord Lin Yi · Human Race: It's doable.
Fang Che · Human Race: Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. When the dragon lands to rest after breathing fire, surrounding infantry can rush up and hack at it, and they can also reduce its HP.
Fang Che · Human Race: It's just that the HP is too thick to kill it in a short time. But it is definitely not invincible.
Han Yu · Dwarf Race: I told you! What's there to be afraid of! I'll try a round of focused fire with my Musketeers!
Seeing this, Xu Qin's originally gloomy mood instantly turned sunny.
Five dragons.
Fire-breathing interval of over two minutes?
Still no armor bonus?
Thick HP but can be fought?
Five dragons; even if each has 200,000 HP, the total HP is only around one million.
He now has an army of 90,000; excluding the Troglodytes, his combat troops are about 40,000.
If 40,000 troops focus fire on one dragon, even if each unit deals 10 damage per second...
100,000 HP, 40,000 troops attacking simultaneously, one round every three seconds.
No, Ranged Troops cover the range, melee troops surround it...
The more Xu Qin calculated, the more excited he became.
The key isn't whether it can be killed.
The key is...
Five dragon corpses, multiplied by sixteen.
Eighty dragon bones...
Xu Qin stood up abruptly from his bone throne.
He paced back and forth on the Watchtower, then stopped and looked toward the east.
The Floating City was flying at full speed in that direction.
He made a quick calculation.
Ten days.
Over thirty lords at the ruins, plus the Dragon Race, Angel Race, and Demon Hunter Race, were tearing into each other.
He would arrive in ten days.
If they hadn't finished fighting yet...
Then that's perfect.
If they had finished fighting...
Then that's even better.
Low-health dragons, low-health angels, low-health lords.
He wanted them all!
Xu Qin sat back down on his bone throne, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and said with a serious face:
"Everyone, wait for me for ten days."
"Don't rush to decide the winner just yet."
"Please!"
Whoosh!
The Floating City, carrying the 90,000-strong Undead Army, headed east at full speed.
