Chapter 440: Awkward Giant Dragon, Tell Me What You

Jiang Chen doesn't even know what the deal between him and Jiang Yi is.

However, he has already delivered the item as Jiang Yi requested.

The following matters don't concern him, and given the opponent's strength, he can't intervene.

Whether it will keep its promise depends on its conscience.

After swallowing the bead, its gaze shifts slightly, "You now have the right to know my name."

Jiang Chen understands intuitively, flicks his finger lightly, and the Detection Technique summons a gentle breeze that passes by.

"Earth Dragon Antares (World-Class Boss)"

"Level: 100"

"Strength:???"

"Agility:???"

"Spirit:???"

"Constitution:???"

"Skill:???"

"Trait:???"

Aside from the name and level, all other information is question marks.

Jiang Chen is utterly shocked.

Earth Dragon Antares, a World-Class Boss, is unheard of.

It surpasses all the knowledge he currently possesses.

Its level even reaches 100.

At this moment Jiang Chen even wonders whether that level is deliberately displayed by it.

Antares is pleased with Jiang Chen's current demeanor, laughs again, "Aren't you shocked? You should feel honored; few have learned my name."

Indeed, at least in the annals of the Human Race, this name has never appeared.

The Ancient Battlefield has existed for an unknown number of years.

This also shows that Antares has existed for countless years.

To possess such a long lifespan is itself an incredibly astonishing existence.

Even Divine-level Strongmen of the Human Race have long been buried in the river of time.

Yet the other can continue to exist forever.

Its might has already surpassed

the limits.

Antares finishes laughing, turns to Jiang Chen, "Kid, I'm about to make a deal with you."

"Few are qualified to trade with me. In the thousands of years of the Human Race, they are countable."

"Trust me, if you trade with me, you won't regret it."

Jiang Chen asks, "What kind of deal? Speak."

Antares says, "In the Lower Space of the Ancient Battlefield lies a place called Zang Lei Canyon. I want you to go there and bring back an item from within."

Accompanying its words, countless specks of starlight fall from the sky, weaving a vivid picture in the air.

The picture shows the terrain of Zang Long Canyon and its position in the Lower Space.

At the deepest part of Zang Lei Canyon lies a massive crystal.

From the view, the crystal is at least several meters tall, fused with the canyon.

Antares says, "When you reach Zang Long Canyon, find this crystal, then drip it onto the crystal, and bring back whatever is inside."

As he speaks, a drop of bright red dragon blood flies from Antares' fingertip and lands in Jiang Chen's hand.

The dragon blood is about the size of a fist, semi‑solid, neither dissipating nor breaking.

It needs no container; it can be stored directly in inventory space.

Jiang Chen knows this won't be simple; at best it can't be as easy as Antares claims.

"Why don't you go yourself?"

In Jiang Chen's mind, given Antares' might, a trip to Zang Lei Canyon shouldn't be difficult.

Antares hums lightly, "There's a reason I don't go."

Jiang Chen doesn't ask for the reason, but says, "But I'm only 5

0 level; to access the Lower Space you need at least Level 70, you may still have to wait."

Antares shakes his head, "No rush; when you're able to go, don't forget. But remember, entering Zang Lei Canyon is best below Level 80, otherwise it could get troublesome."

Jiang Chen asks, "Is it dangerous inside?"

Antares whispers, "There's naturally some danger, but for you, it should be fine."

Should be...

The word is hard to grasp; Jiang Chen feels a slight chill and doesn't fully trust its words.

Antares continues, "Do you accept this deal?"

Jiang Chen shrugs, "What happens if I refuse?"

Antares says bluntly, "If you refuse, I'll send you away, erase this memory, and you'll never set foot here again in this life."

It glances at Qiao Zhixin without a trace.

"This is a pirate ship."

Jiang Chen thinks he has understood Antares' words.

If he doesn't refuse, he will be driven away from here.

Erasing his memory, Jiang Chen had no doubt that Antares could do it.

As for Qiao Zhixin, don't even think about leaving.

Antares' glance was crystal clear.

Jiang Chen added, "Aren't you afraid I might accept and then not go?"

Antares smiled, seeming delighted, "Once you know the terms I offer, you'll certainly go. My deal is an equal exchange, absolutely fair and just."

Seeing its confident demeanor, Jiang Chen said, "Very well, I accept the deal."

He can't refuse, unless he intends to kill Qiao Zhixin.

He heard.

After Jiang Chen agreed, Antares smiled broadly.

"Very good, very good. Now, let me tell you the benefits I can give you."

"I'll give you a set of equipment, Mythological Class equipment."

Jiang Chen, upon hearing that, shook his head abruptly, "I don't want it."

Antares was taken aback, "Did I hear correctly? You say you don't want it? This is Mythological Class equipment, and there aren't many such pieces among the Human Race."

Jiang Chen said, "My profession is special; no equipment works for me."

Antares narrowed his dragon eyes and stared at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's Undead Monarch profession couldn't be hidden from it.

"Undead Monarch—I've truly never seen that profession before; it's a new profession for your Human Race, right?"

"To reject equipment, what a Ghostly profession."

"Let me think, what else I can give you..."

Antares muttered curses as he spoke.

It had never seen any profession that would reject equipment.

After a moment's thought, it spoke again, "You're Level 50 now, right? I can give you a piece of Bloodthirsty Python heart‑protecting meat, which you can eat under its protection, increasing all attributes by 20,000."

"You should know what a base attribute increase of 20,000 means."

"From now on, each time you level up, your attributes will rise a bit more than others'. When you reach Third Transcendence, the chance of Profession Ascension will also rise."

When Antares said that, it was brimming with confidence, believing that no Human Professional could refuse this temptation.

"Of course, one piece of heart‑protecting meat isn't enough; once you complete the deal, I can also..."

At that point, Jiang Chen was still shaking his head.

"What else?" it asked, puzzled.

Jiang Chen bluntly said, "

I already ate it, at Second Transcendence.

Antares leaned in, sniffed Jiang Chen, and then said slowly, "Indeed, you've eaten it; you have the scent of a Bloodthirsty Python on you."

"What about the Bloodthirsty Python's brain?"

Jiang Chen said, "My teacher will get it for me."

"Your teacher? A Divine-level Strongman of the Human Race, I presume. The Bloodthirsty Python is not easy to handle; your teacher might not be able to obtain it." Antares still seemed to hold a sliver of hope.

Jiang Chen said, "I have three teachers, all Divine-level; you have met one of them, and you even said he was too weak."

Antares's mind clicked, and he already knew who Jiang Chen referred to, replying in a deep voice, "Indeed, he does have some qualification. If all three possess his level of strength, there is a chance to slay the Bloodthirsty Python."

"Let me think again, what I can give you."

For Human Professionals, equipment is extremely important; every professional constantly pursues good gear.

Thus Antares started by dangling equipment as bait.

It believes that under the lure of a full set of Mythological Class equipment, no one can refuse.

But it happened to encounter a freak like Jiang Chen.

If equipment won't work, then swap for base attributes.

Equipment may be weaker than one's own strength; enhancing one's base attributes is also something every professional dreams of.

Yet Jiang Chen also lacks nothing.

This put Antares in a bind; since it's a trade, he must offer something of equal value.

"Elemental Divine Stone? It can increase the chance of Profession Ascension at Third Transcendence."

Jiang Chen produced an Elemental Divine Stone, "I have it."

"What about a Talent Divine Stone?"

Jiang Chen produced a Talent Divine Stone, "I also have it."

Antares kept listing several items, not because Jiang Chen lacks them,

but simply because he doesn't need them.

It grew sullen, lazily sprawled on the ground, looking even more listless, "Tell me, what are you lacking?"
