Chapter 59

After resting for a while, Mu Yi got up from the sofa.

Although it is a hidden benefit, the method is too rough, so he just now seemed to have entered Sage Time, losing interest in everything, as if he were a desireless saint.

After lying for a while, he finally shook off the influence of that feeling.

"Is this a dragon scale?" Mu Yi pulled out his spoil.

Dragon Scale:

Quality: Purple

Category: Magic Material

Keywords: Fire, Resistance

Item Level: 15

It does not look like it was peeled from a half-dragon's body; rather, it seems to have been pulled from a true dragon's body, and the fiery-red dragon scale still emits a warm sensation.

"Only one piece—what can it do?"

Mu Yi was somewhat puzzled; although this level‑15 item looks decent, what can a palm‑sized scale do?

However, from the scale Mu Yi could see something else—this thing comes from a secret realm, so logically it should be related to the secret realm.

Recalling the information from the half‑dragon earlier, Mu Yi felt he had roughly guessed what that extra stage was.

Dragon‑blooded kobold, half‑dragon, dragon beast…… the blood concentration of these three increases layer by layer.

A dragon beast is a dragon that has not received the dragon clan's memory inheritance; basically it cannot be considered a true dragon, but rather a sub‑dragon type.

However, aside from lacking the inheritance, the blood flowing in their bodies is genuine; compared to sub‑dragons, their physical strength is far greater.

Following the blood concentration, that would mean there really is a dragon inside the Giant Dragon Treasury?

Moreover, it is very likely a red dragon skilled in fire.

Mu Yi scratched his head, looking at the slightly glaring 15 on the dragon scale in his hand; a half‑dragon already drained him, and a red dragon that had already entered Transcendent—he would be hitting it with his head.

His strength alone is really too weak!

To be honest, he still somewhat misses the feeling of leading a team in the White Lotus Instance.

But so far he also has no good way to gather followers, and as for buying them…

Ordinary followers have no resurrection ability; Mu Yi and his companions can revive in the Prime Plane after dying in a dungeon, but if a follower dies, that's it—finished.

As for followers with a semi‑Zongwang Player nature, their price is astronomical—even selling Mu Yi wouldn't buy one.

Moreover, Mu Yi has no money now; he himself is in debt, so buying followers is truly out of reach.

"Why not find someone to help?" This thought flashed through Mu Yi's mind.

Glancing at his only friend in the friend list, Mu Yi thought calling that person would probably just let the red dragon eat a bit more.

But at this moment, a figure flashed in Mu Yi's mind—that burly dragon slayer……

The other party declared they could assist in dragon slaying for free, and they are below Legend, although they themselves are limited to Apprentice Rank, they might have some special means.

"Why not… try contacting him?" Mu Yi, stroking his chin, thought, "Let's first try searching on the forum…"

Mu Yi originally had the attitude of trying a dead horse as if it were alive, but he didn't expect the dragon slayer to have some reputation on the forum, and moreover he posted a thread offering dragon‑slaying assistance.

The pinned message is his promise.

"Dragon Slayer Warrior La Ge Na: Undertaking dragon‑slaying business, free assistance below Legend, no compensation!"

Right below that are several messages that have been pinned up.

"Bounty on La Ge Na: life or death, guaranteed in the name of the evil dragon god Ti Ya Ma Te, under Zong Network Witness, bounty amount 20 million Zongwang Disaster Coins."

"Bounty on La Ge Na: life or death, guaranteed in the name of the good dragon god Ba Ha Mu Te, under Zong Network Witness, bounty amount 20 million Zongwang Disaster Coins."

……

Besides the two major factions of the Five‑Colored Dragons and Metal Dragons, there are also some scattered personal bounties added by various dragon‑type creatures; altogether they total nearly 50 million Zongwang Disaster Coins.

Looking at this high bounty, Mu Yi felt the urge to kill the dragon slayer La Ge Na.

Even so, La Ge Na still hasn't deleted the post, as if he were provoking the dragon.

Mu Yi became interested, searched for related deeds of La Ge Na, and found that La Ge Na truly lives up to this bounty.

Exactly why La Ge Na hates the dragon clan, nobody knows.

People only know that La Ge Na is indeed a dragon‑slaying expert, with up to a hundred dragons slain by his hand, even including dragons chosen by the Zong Network.

When La Ge Na first entered people's sight, it was just as Mu Yi saw in the trading market—he deliberately provoked the dragon, then fought to the death under Zong Network Witness.

Unexpectedly, La Ge Na easily chopped down his opponent.

Although somewhat surprising, people were not too shocked, after all the Zong Network Interconnect Multiverse, having seen all kinds of weird beings.

Although dragons are Transcendent‑type, the Zong Network has plenty of god‑children and holy‑children.

Moreover, everyone on the Zong Network has the habit of suppressing their level, so they merely regard La Ge Na as that old schemer who has accumulated unknown years of strength, playing the pig to eat the tiger.

However, the second time, after La Ge Na slew a dragon that had reached the Transcendent Threshold, everyone could not help but be astonished.

Apprentice‑rank killing Transcendent beings does happen on the Zong Network, but each appearance signals the rise of a Legend‑rank powerhouse.

As for Transcendent killing Legend‑rank beings, such occurrences on the Zong Network are few and far between.

Many covet the dragon and wish to slay it, but one who possesses Legend‑rank potential and shows clear hostility toward the dragon clan is worth the dragon side's attention.

They wait for La Ge Na to break through Level 10, enter Transcendent Rank, and for his true form to begin entering the open world, then look for a chance to directly encircle and kill him.

Yet no one expected La Ge Na to be stuck hard at Level 9, thus beginning his career of free dragon slaying.

After each dragon kill, he also posts his dragon‑slaying photos on the forum, making the dragons fume with rage.

Over the years, the number of dragons slain by La Ge Na keeps increasing, yet he has never broken through.

Even if the dragon side occasionally gathers in hatred to strike, La Ge Na can still revive.

Immature dragons are no match for La Ge Na, and since he does not enter Transcendent, his Apprentice Rank is protected by the Zong Network, so even if they summon a dragon god they cannot find his real‑world location.

The dragon clan cannot swallow this anger, they have issued a sky‑high bounty, yet La Ge Na is still doing fine.

If La Ge Na advances to Transcendent, Dragons have tens of thousands of ways to kill La Ge Na, but the problem is La Ge Na is stuck at Apprentice Rank.

Before the Dragon, there are only two options: one is to wait for a mutant dragon capable of killing a Transcendent as an Apprentice to appear in the world, then slay the opponent in a death match that La Ge Na would not refuse.

The Multiverse is vast; among all races, some oddities appear, such as the White Dragon Lord of the Nordehil Continent, the Red Dragon King who practices the Seven Deadly Sins, the Interdimensional Blue Dragon that reforges the Dragon's glory……

A series of strange Dragons are so strong it's horrifying, provided the Dragons can actually find them before these Dragons grow up.

At least, from what we can see now, when the Dragons find these aberrations, they have already lost the right to fight La Ge Na.

The other is to wait for La Ge Na to die of old age.

The sole drawback of being unable to break through Apprentice Rank is the inability to achieve longevity; this is also, from another angle, the Comprehensive Net's urging of those who suppress ranks.

Those who achieve longevity must be Transcendent; beings that cannot break the mortal limit cannot achieve longevity.
