Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game-Chapter 1170 - 527: Mirage Dragon and Mirage Scenery, The Secret Method of Constructing the Dragon Watching Platform_3
For instance, "West Bo Stone Treasure Trench" and "Yongdong Longji Mountain" at the beginning clearly refer to specific geographical locations, but they are not present on the Overview Map of Vermilion.
Lin Xun pondered briefly and thought to himself, "The places mentioned by the Mirage Dragon must be the names used during the ancient divine wars; Over time, after the establishment of the Vermilion Empire, the names of many places were changed."
"Following the Overview Map of Vermilion, I definitely won’t find them. I must carefully leaf through the Vermilion Geography Records, relying on what’s documented there along with local legends and tales, that might be the only way to find some leads."
"Damn! Looking at it this way, gathering the materials to construct the Dragon Watching Platform is going to be incredibly difficult."
While Lin Xun was heading back to Hero’s Gate with the White Elephant Demon, he materialized the Vermilion Geography Records in the real world, using his Analysis Power to become a human scanner.
[...]
[The White Elephant Demon again displayed its Hide the Sky and Obscure the Sun Dharma Body, the enormous Six-Toothed White Elephant Demon took a few steps back, let out a fierce roar, and charged violently towards the gateway tower!]
[Every time the Six-Toothed White Elephant Demon struck the ground, it caused the earth to shake violently, as if an Earth Dragon was turning over...]
[With a thunderous boom, the Hero’s Gate that had stood at the narrow pass for thousands of years, collapsed thunderously, raising a cloud of dust!]
[The White Elephant Demon let out a long neigh, and after knocking down the tower, continued its unstoppable charge into the city gate!]
[It charged back and forth several times, not stopping until it had reduced the entirety of Hero’s Gate to rubble, then it transformed back into human form.]
[As the dust settled, the Hero’s Pass was reduced to mere rubble...]
[Looking around, you could see scattered large bones and shell fragments amidst the ruins. These remains from the Mirage Dragon did not bear any dust and shone white, making them highly conspicuous amid the chaotic rubble.]
[You pick up a large shell fragment from amongst the rocks...]
[You obtained the ’Shell Fragment of Mirage Dragon’s Clam Body’ (Junk)!]
[’Shell Fragment of Mirage Dragon’s Clam Body’ (Junk): A half-human sized shell fragment, part of the remnants of the Mirage Clans’ Clam Dharma Body. Originally containing dense ancestral energy, which through years of refinement by the ground formation of Hero’s Gate, had been depleted entirely, rendering it useless.]
Lin Xun grimaced, so embedding the Mirage Dragon’s remains into Hero’s Gate was meant to drain their ancestral energy?
Yama God’s subordinates are truly thorough, creating the Stele for Suppression of the Dragon to deal with those direct Dragon Sons is one thing, but to go so far with a Mirage Dragon to prevent future troubles.
If all villains were this decisive and ruthless, there wouldn’t be those cliche stories in movies and TV where the hero fights his way through levels and eventually turns the tables.
Lin Xun shook his head and continued searching through the ruins for remains.
The ’Mirage Clan Clamshell Fragment’ he had just obtained was classified as junk, not as a material, clearly not suitable for constructing the Dragon Watching Platform.
He and the White Elephant Demon worked half the day, turning over the entire site, but whether it were dragon bones or shell fragments, all were junk without a trace of the Dragon Clan’s bloodline.
[The White Elephant Demon wiped the dust from its face and spat out, unable to restrain a curse, "Damn it... Little junior brother, that Mirage Dragon deceived us, these damned bones and shells are all junk. If you think we can build the Dragon Watching Platform with this stuff, I’d see a ghost.]
[It squeezed in its hand, crushing a piece of dragon bone to dust, which scattered like gravel from between its fingers.]
Lin Xun narrowed his eyes.
If the remnants of the Mirage Dragon were rendered useless due to the loss of the Dragon Clan’s power, reinfusing them with the Dragon Clan’s bloodline might restore their functionality.
With this thought, he began an audacious maneuver.
[You activate the ’Oath of the Ancient Dragon,’ and in the blink of an eye, you transform into a massive Ancient Dragon, covered in emerald green scales, brimming with a rich, vibrant life force.]
[You dig out a shell fragment the size of a chariot from the ruins with your claw.]
[You slash open the scales over your chest and, enduring the pain, you insert the shell fragment into the wound...]
[You activate ’Life’s Ode’!] 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
[Specks of emerald life light emerge, covering the freshly torn wound, not only stopping the flow of dragon blood allowing the wound to heal but also causing the internal flesh and blood to quickly adhere and grow back together.]
[Under the deliberate control of the ’Flesh Authority,’ the foreign object in the wound was not expelled due to the healing, but as the flesh healed, it gradually integrated into your body, nourished by the bloodline of the Ancient Dragon...]
By nourishing the shell fragment with his own Dragon Clan bloodline, Lin Xun dug it out after a while and noticed that its item description had changed slightly.
[’Shell Fragment of Mirage Dragon’s Clam Body’ (Junk): ...The dense bloodline it originally contained had been utterly depleted, yet inexplicably, the Dragon Clan’s bloodline has begun to regrow within the remains of the fragment. If this trend continues, it may not be long before this junk becomes useful.]
"Hmph, Underworld Game, do you think these minor difficulties can stop me?"
Having sorted out the main material, Lin Xun continued to scan the Vermilion Geography Records.
But after a round of scanning, he was stunned...
"Damn it! Underworld Game, if you weren’t prepared to let me collect all the materials, you could just say so; why put me through such hardship!"
According to the scan, he only found clues for two of the auxiliary materials.
Yet for the other three auxiliary materials, there was absolutely no record of their ancient names in the Vermilion Geography Records.
The Origin Dragon God Palace, being the Main Divine Chaos Origin Dragon’s residence, is sure to contain countless rewards. Now that the old dragon has been completely eroded and isn’t home, it presents Lin Xun with a perfect opportunity to sneak in and strike it rich.
However, despite providing some clues, the Underworld Game did not reveal everything, making the Origin Dragon God Palace an elusive part of the Hidden Map.
