175: Dragon fishing rod

After Lin Du entered the Divine Dragon Pool Secret Realm, the pressure on Ning Fengya suddenly lightened.

Ignoring Nine Year Cicada behind her, she put her full strength into a sword strike aimed at the black poison spike in front of her.

"Shatter!"

Bang—

Ning Fengya's strength was several levels higher than Scorpion Tail Needle's.

As her full-strength strike landed, the black poison spike exploded without any resistance...

"Ah!"

Scorpion Tail Needle wailed in agony, clutching his shoulder.

The black poison spike had been formed from his own arm; as it exploded, his arm was destroyed along with it.

Black blood flowed all over the ground, and Scorpion Tail Needle's expression became increasingly ferocious.

"Ember Eyes!"

"You lunatic!!"

Clutching his arm, Scorpion Tail Needle retreated in panic to a distance.

Lin Du had vanished, and Peak of the Forbidden City had lost their target.

Both sides simultaneously pulled back some distance.

Ning Fengya stood alone, holding banished immortal, facing the three powerhouses of Peak of the Forbidden City!

...

Having missed their sure-kill strike, Nine Year Cicada's expression turned gloomy.

"He actually escaped into the Divine Dragon Pool Secret Realm?"

"Scum, to think he would try to delay his death this way!"

"A useless secret realm cannot change his fate!"

Nine Year Cicada took an orange medicine bottle from his backpack and threw it to the suffering Scorpion Tail Needle.

"Hurry up and heal!"

"Once Night Ember comes out in a while, you two better hurry up and kill him..."

Scorpion Tail Needle took the medicine bottle and swallowed all the medicine inside.

Crack, crack, crack—

As the SS-rank pill went down, a foul-smelling black gas erupted from Scorpion Tail Needle's arm, which quickly condensed and soon formed a brand-new arm.

Scorpion Tail Needle looked at his new arm, his face filled with monstrous hatred.

Since joining Peak of the Forbidden City, he had suffered the injury of a severed arm twice.

The first time, it was Yuan Shu.

The second time, it was Ning Fengya.

Both of these women had severed his arm to save Night Ember...

Scorpion Tail Needle felt such hatred in his heart!

"Ember Eyes!"

"Night Ember!"

"You both deserve to die!!"

The two sides stood in a standoff; without Lin Du present, there was no need for either side to attack.

Peak of the Forbidden City had the advantage in numbers, but even with Baili Xuancang and Scorpion Tail Needle assisting, Nine Year Cicada was not confident in taking down Ning Fengya.

The two major guilds were currently in a tacit state of truce.

Neither side wanted to break this balance!

Nine Year Cicada stared at Ning Fengya vigilantly.

"Ember Eyes, this matter is a grudge between Peak of the Forbidden City and Night Ember; I hope you won't drag Rule the World into this."

"You have a contract with Night Ember, so I can allow you to stay here and help him, but if you call others for help, then just wait for another guild war to break out!"

The current situation was three against one.

Once Night Ember comes out, Nine Year Cicada had full confidence in completing the mission.

Ning Fengya said indifferently, "I return those words to you!"

Neither side called for reinforcements, simply waiting quietly at the exit of the secret realm.

The Divine Dragon Pool Secret Realm would be open for two hours.

After two hours, the secret realm would automatically close, and the players inside would be forcibly ejected by the realm...

"Damn it, Night Ember managed to survive for another two hours!"

"Does this scum really think that just by escaping into a secret realm, no one can do anything to him?"

"He certainly knows how to choose a place to commit suicide; this trashy Divine Dragon Pool Secret Realm is very suitable as a graveyard!"

Scorpion Tail Needle cursed incessantly, already thinking about how to kill Night Ember in a little while.

Waiting here like a rabbit by a tree, success was guaranteed!

...

Inside the Divine Dragon Pool Secret Realm.

In front of Lin Du was a small world with a fresh environment that stretched as far as the eye could see.

This small world was like a paradise, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers everywhere, without a trace of any monsters.

Lin Du stood in place, observing his surroundings.

A moment later, a knowing smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems there are no changes."

"That's good!"

Whether he could possess the ability to protect himself in a short time depended on whether this secret realm in front of him would be effective.

The level of the Divine Dragon Pool Secret Realm changed according to the player's level, which was why he hadn't brought Ning Fengya inside...

As for Ning Fengya's personal safety, Lin Du was not worried.

Previously, Ning Fengya had been held back mainly because she had a burden with her.

With Ning Fengya's strength, without the burden, she could easily come and go as she pleased.

Moreover, not all of her secrets had been exposed; if all her secrets were fully revealed, self-preservation would be a simple matter...

Following the vague memories in his mind.

Ten minutes later, Lin Du arrived beside a small pond in the center of the small world.

This pond was about ten meters in diameter.

The water surface was as smooth as a mirror, without a ripple, and the pond water was pitch black, like an abyss with no visible bottom...

Looking at this small pond from the outside, one could not see anything peculiar about it at all.

Apart from the deep color, it was almost completely unremarkable.

Many top players had noticed this small pond when exploring the Divine Dragon Pool Secret Realm, but after carefully studying it, they all left without results.

It was likely that no player knew that underneath this small pond actually connected to a dragon race small world...

Whoosh—

Lin Du flipped his wrist, and several items appeared in his hand.

A fishing rod made of an unrecognizable material, plus five scarlet-red little snakes the length of an arm.

These things had been obtained from Liu Qingqing at a high price.

A truly high price!

【Dragon Fishing Rod (Special Item): 1. This fishing rod will never be damaged, and the fishing line has super toughness. 2. When fishing for dragon-bloodline monsters, it can suppress the monster's strength by 30%.】

This rod had cost a full 10,000 years of 'lifespan value'.

And this was still the friendship price Liu Qingqing had given him; otherwise, this rod would have cost at least 50,000 years of 'lifespan value' or more...

With the fishing rod done, it was time for the five scarlet-red little snakes.

These five scarlet-red little snakes were called Black Cloud Crimson Flame Snake, a very rare C-rank spirit beast.

This type of spirit beast did not have strong combat power, and its appearance was not very good either, belonging to the most useless kind among C-rank spirit beasts.

Its only characteristic was that it would emit a scent that humans could not smell, but which was extremely tempting to snake-type and dragon-type demonic beasts...

This piece of information was likely only known to Lin Du himself in the entire game.

Because this was the "earthworm" he had specially designed!

...

Both the fishing rod and the "earthworm" were ready.

Next, the exciting fishing moment had arrived.

Lin Du grabbed a Black Cloud Crimson Flame Snake and slowly hooked it onto the extra-large fishhook.

Hiss, hiss~

The Black Cloud Crimson Flame Snake struggled violently, but it was to no avail.

"Sister Goddess of Luck!"

"If you've already calmed down, then show me a sign."

"Go!"

Lin Du swung his arm with force, and the large fishhook, carrying the Black Cloud Crimson Flame Snake, disappeared into the pond with a "whoosh".

PS: I will definitely not make empty promises!

Chapter four is not finished yet, estimated before 1:30.

Rest assured, I won't go to sleep until I finish writing it.

Mwah.
