Chapter 73: Preparation Before Slaying the Dragon

Mu Yi had to admit that the organizers of the Beast Paradise were very good at making money.

After he returned to town, a matching package was immediately recommended to him.

By the time Mu Yi realized it, Zongwang Disaster Coins had already vanished from his pocket like flowing water.

Although the service was quite modest and professional, this trend of refusing to stop until they emptied his savings made Mu Yi flee in panic.

He feared that if he stayed any longer, he would truly become penniless.

There was no way around it; these guys were terrifyingly professional, and Mu Yi even suspected that some wealth deity might have invested in the industry.

Mu Yi began to have reason to suspect that these guys prohibited combat for other reasons, not merely because they worried Zongwang Players might fight and damage the ecosystem.

At the Zongwang trading hub, he purchased a contract, signed a binding agreement with the Water-avoiding Golden-Eye Beast, and officially brought the beast into the Zongwang.

Name: Water-avoiding Golden-Eye Beast

Level: 15

Attributes: Strength 23, Constitution 25, Agility 15, Intelligence 9, Charisma 9, Perception 11

Specialties: Rough skin and thick flesh, copper skin and iron bones, regeneration, boundless strength, affinity with water element, water walking

Feeding: 1 bag of fruit or related materials per day (50 Zongwang Disaster Coins)

Description: Child of water, can walk on the surface as if on land, and can also live underwater.

Boundless strength; can smash mountain rocks with its head. Its four short legs are poor at turning and cannot stop before colliding with something.

The unit is classified as a marine creature, able to breathe and live underwater.

Not a powerful stat sheet; if Mu Yi at level 15 had these stats, he would probably be dead outright, perhaps even a target of overleveled beating.

Fortunately for the current Mu Yi, it has become a reliable strong leg.

The contract comes with a stasis space that can directly contain the Water-avoiding Golden-Eye Beast, sparing Mu Yi the trouble of figuring out how to house it.

But this also served as a wake‑up call for Mu Yi; he really should move house, needing a larger space to raise the Water-avoiding Golden-Eye Beast.

He has bought a bunch of pet‑beast skills and training plans for the beast; when the time comes for training, the little house can't withstand its reckless charging.

But before that, the appointed time has arrived; he needs to gather.

…

Giant Dragon Treasury

"Wow, family, where is the Dragon? Where is the Dragon?"

Gui Naifen, just invited into the Plane's secret realm, immediately raised a camera, scanning around, apparently hoping to take a photo with the Dragon.

"We have to deal with a Dragon Beast before we can see the Giant Dragon; you can't see it now," Mu Yi splashed cold water on Gui Naifen.

At the same time, Mu Yi noticed that Gui Naifen herself seemed unchanged, but a stick had appeared on her back.

"Hehehe, after all I'm here to hunt the Giant Dragon, so I brought a weapon for self‑defense!"

Noticing Mu Yi's stare, Gui Naifen explained to him.

"Don't underestimate us; this is our food‑source companion. If we get serious, Su Shang couldn't beat it now!"

Gui Naifen was immensely proud; Mu Yi admitted he didn't know who Su Shang was, but it was clear that Gui Naifen hadn't spent all her time in the Zongwang doing circus acts—she had indeed been improving her strength.

But then again, could that circus performance also be a way for Gui Naifen to boost her power, like a bard?

Mu Yi shook his head and said honestly, Gui Naifen's temperament is too erratic; he finds it hard to associate her with the strong.

At that moment, La Ge Na entered the Plane's secret realm through an invitation.

Unlike Gui Naifen, La Ge Na exuded the aura of a strongman.

Be it his cloak or the great sword on his back, everything screamed big‑shot style.

"I smell those reptiles' aura; it's truly nauseating!"

La Ge Na inhaled deeply, the murderous intent spreading in his eyes, nearly freezing the air.

"I can't wait to snap their wings and chop off those ugly heads!"

Mu Yi's eye twitched; how to say it, it's no wonder that a monster of Apprentice Rank has already cut down hundreds of Dragons—just standing there plainly is enough to make one's whole body hair stand on end.

"Let's go, we need to be faster; if that reptile takes flight, it will be harder to deal with!"

La Ge Na flicked his cloak, strode forward, already sensing where that damned reptile was.

Mu Yi and Gui Naifen exchanged a glance and immediately followed.

While moving, La Ge Na pulled two spears from his item space and handed them to Mu Yi and Gui Naifen.

"When the time comes, hand them to me directly; if the Dragon takes flight, you attack its wings!"

Mu Yi took the spears, feeling the same aura as on La Ge Na's great sword—a terrifying, icy pressure radiating from the spearheads.

"This is..."

Mu Yi hesitated a bit; he noticed the spearheads, like La Ge Na's great sword, had lost their original color, seemingly soaked for years in some powerful creature's blood.

"That's a Dragon‑slaying Stone, made after killing a Dragon, sealing its lingering soul, then soaking it in secret arts and dragon blood; it retains the Dragon's curse and pressure."

Sensing Mu Yi and Gui Naifen's confusion, La Ge Na casually explained.

"It's a tool specifically designed to counter Dragon bloodlines; once embedded in a weapon, striking a Dragon will weaken its power, soul, and elemental resistances, and its proud scale armor will tear apart like tofu."

Mu Yi, feeling the spears in his hand, relied on his heightened perception and sensed at least hundreds of auras emanating from them.

Alchemical items specifically for Dragons... truly terrifying; no wonder those Dragons had posted sky‑high bounties on La Ge Na.

"Why give us this?"

Gui Naifen scratched her head, instinctively holding the spearhead farther away; although her willpower was decent, the aura from the spearhead made her whole body uneasy.

"Do you know the key points of slaying Dragons?" Mentioning dragon‑slaying, La Ge Na seemed energized, unusually sharing his insights on dragon‑slaying with Mu Yi and Gui Naifen.

It seemed La Ge Na not only slays Dragons himself but also wants more people to do so, erasing the Dragons completely from this Multiverse.

"Restrict their flight ability!"

Mu Yi recalled the Half-Dragon he once faced head‑on; when the opponent rose into the sky, he had no means to counter it.

Exactly! Ragnar glanced over at Mu Yi with a surprised look, his voice full of admiration.

Exactly! La Ge Na turned his head in surprise, glanced at Mu Yi, his voice full of admiration.

In the wandering bards' tales, it seems that finding a weapon capable of piercing a dragon's defenses is the most crucial—of course, that's very important.

In the wandering bard's anecdotes, it seems that finding a weapon that can break a dragon's defense is the most crucial; this is, of course, important.

Actually, only those who have truly slain a dragon know that the most important point in dealing with dragons is to destroy their ability to fly.
