Chapter 1249: Dragon’s Domain Scavenger

Translator: alyschu

Crack crack…

The rotten corpses swung their claws and bit down mindlessly on my Guardian Dragon Armor. However, the armor’s dense aura merely rippled a bit and even crushed their rotten teeth and claws, decreasing the amount of damage they would’ve done to me. I didn’t activate Battle Astral Wind on purpose so I could test out my new armor’s strength, and so far, the high-level Sacred Armament was exactly as powerful as it seemed. To think that a Level 275 fiend-rank mob couldn’t even pierce my Defense—

2798!

3414!

2937!

……

Lian Xin commented in a dumbfounded tone, "Oh my god, these corpses should be ashamed that they dealt less damage than big brother Lu Chen’s passive HP regen. That 10% damage conversion is even more shameless. It’s almost like you’re bullying children right now…"

Beiming Xue giggled like a bell. "Anyway, let’s not waste any more time and clean up these rotten corpses as soon as possible. It’s been almost a day since we entered Dragon Domain, and we still haven’t found even a clue as to the Dragonslaying Sword’s whereabouts. I don’t understand how you guys are still so calm…"

"Yeah!"

I abruptly raised the Chill of the Nine Provinces, executed Burning Blade Slash, and tore the thick crowd of mobs to shreds. My Attack was so high that the skill easily dealt over a million damage per mob, and that was before considering the splash damage. Long story short, one Burning Blade Slash was enough to clear out an entire area of mobs and turn them all into experience and Divine Energy Points. Killing mobs in Dragon Domain was fun for sure.

The Suppressing Fire Sword flashed red again and again as He Yi held off one direction of enemies all by herself. It was worth noting that her new weapon had a 20% chance of triggering a 7-yard sword aura, which was an insanely high trigger rate compared to most of the item skills I had seen up until this point. It triggered almost every four to five swings, and the fact that He Yi had great attack speed increased her DPS even more. Even without using Godslaying Blade, her DPS was absolutely nothing to scoff at.

As for Lin Yixin, she wielded the Seven Star Veluriyam Sword in her right hand and the Dragonfrost dagger in her left. Her skills such as Ice Flame Slash and Ice Storm were all AoE skills, so the rate at which she cleared the mobs was no slower than He Yi’s. Dragonfrost had incredible Attack, and Lin Yixin’s class had high Attack scaling. Even with a weak mainhand weapon, her power could only be described as formidable.

……

The battle lasted an entire hour. We managed to kill every Rotted Smith within around a kilometer around us. As we progressed forward, we passed by eroded walls and incomplete structures that were most likely the fortresses the smiths had been tasked to build before the disaster struck them. A hundred thousand years of time had eroded them to nothing but a pile of rubble, proving that not even civilization could withstand the passage of time.

Pa!

The last Rotted Smith in our way collapsed to the ground with an unearthly groan and dropped a Phantasmal Magic Stone. I paid it no attention, however. These days, Phantasmal Magic Stones weren’t worth good cash anymore. As I stepped over the corpse and looked to the distance, I pointed and said, "I think I see more mobs over there. Let’s kill them. I’m only 7 Divine Energy Points away from reaching the cap."

"Heavens, you’re so fast!" Lin Yixin pouted a little.

Suddenly, Beiming Xue’s eyes widened in alarm. "Watch out! Something’s charging toward us!"

"What?!"

I looked and saw a red figure running toward us at high speed. It was even faster than when I was riding the Ancient Divine Dragon at full speed! What the hell is it?!

Pa!

The Phantasmal Magic Stone I had left behind on the ground disappeared. What the fuck? Did a mob just steal our loot right before our eyes? I activated Dark Pupils to catch the thief within my sights, but he was already about 300 yards away from us. The monster looked like a midget with a crooked back. He was carrying a steel fork with a huge bag of valuables hanging on top of it. I could actually see our Phantasmal Magic Stone in it.

"What the heck is that thing?" He Yi exclaimed in astonishment.

I immediately shared its stats within the party channel—

Dragon Domain Scavenger (Ancient Immortal Rank Miniboss)

Level: 285

Attack: 35500~47000

Defense: 41000

HP: 20000000

Skills: Wind Speed, Steal, All Out Strike

Introduction: Dragon Domain Scavenger was a human thief until he was infected by the undead plague during the gods and devils’ invasion. However, the former king of thieves known as the "Thief King" managed to stop the plague from overtaking him completely by poisoning himself with a special poison he had researched himself. Unfortunately, the incomplete transformation left him neither alive, dead nor undead, and he wasn’t able to return to the human domain for tens of thousands of years. In the end, he led a tragic existence, his only purpose in previous life leading his body toward amassing more and more valuables. Now, he’s known as the Dragon Domain Scavenger.

……

"Dragon Domain Scavenger?"

Lin Yixin’s lips parted. "OMG, this guy’s a thief? An Ancient Immortal Rank miniboss thief no less?"

"Mn."

I nodded. "He has Steal and Wind Speed for his skills. This Wind Speed especially is probably the ancestor of the Assassin class’s Swift Dash. Actually, no, it’s big brother levels of OP. It made him so fast that even I couldn’t catch him with my reaction speed…"

He Yi chuckled and was about to say something when she paused suddenly. A blink later, she said, "You know, he’s a thief god who has been roaming Dragon Domain for a hundred thousand years, right? Maybe we can catch him and grill him about the location of the Dragonslaying Sword? It’s not a sure thing, but it certainly beats searching the map without any clue at all!"

My eyes lit up. "That’s a great idea, Eve! Yeah, we’ll catch this Dragon Domain Scavenger and interrogate him!"

Lin Yixin shrugged. "How do you suggest we do that though? He’s as fast as the wind!"

I smiled. "Oh, it’s simple. What does a thief like him like above all else? Magic stones! I have 3 Purple Crystals in my bag right now. We’ll use it as bait to capture him!"

"But big brother… a 100 Quality Purple Crystal is worth 1000 gold…" Beiming Xue frowned. "Are you sure you want to take the risk?"

I pointed a finger at Lin Yixin. "It’s gonna be fine. Yiyi got 9 Purple Crystals just now. I saw it with my own two eyes!"

Lin Yixin shivered. "Said the guy who rolled an 87 Quality Divine Crystal; the only Divine Crystal we got from Mountain Guardian after all that trouble just now! Hmph! If we lose all our Purple Crystals to that thief, we’ll sacrifice your Divine Crystal next!"

I declared confidently, "Relax, we have 12 Purple Crystals or 12 baits in total. Do you really think the 7 of us can’t catch a single Dragon Domain Scavenger with this many chances? Just watch. That miniboss is probably in the forest ahead of us. We’ll grind our way to his location while we wait for him to fall for our trap!"

"Okay. Let’s go!"

……

The 7 of us entered the forest directly ahead of us. This time, I left it to Lin Yixin and He Yi to be the tanks of the party and focused on my task instead. I tossed a Purple Crystal about ten meters away from us. Then, I slipped into the bush next to it and waited patiently for Dragon Domain Scavenger to show up.

Rustle rustle…

A pair of beautiful eyes peeked out from between the leaves as Beiming Xue said to me, "Big brother, you’ll be the main catcher, okay? If you fail, Lian Xin and I will wipe your butt with Well of the Abyss and Frozen Domain!"

I chided her, "You’re a good girl, you shouldn’t say something as inelegant as ‘wipe your butt!’"

Beiming Xue stuck her tongue out at me playfully. "Fine, fine, we’ll cover for you if you fail…"

"Mn. Now, let’s focus."

"Okay!"

About a minute later, the red figure in my Dark Pupils suddenly charged toward the Purple Crystal at light speed. I immediately clenched my Jiuzhou Han and said, "Here he comes!"

However, the miniboss's speed far exceeded even my imagination. By the time the God Binding Art hit the ground with a MISS, the thief was already escaping with my Purple Crystal. Not even Beiming Xue and Lian Xin were able to fix my mistake and catch him with their skills.

"What the fuck!"

I gnawed my teeth furiously. "What the hell is that speed? Farewell Song with Swift Dash is like a tortoise compared to this guy!"

Beiming Xue said, "Big brother, I think you should just give up on God Binding Art and use Cold of the Nine Provinces instead. You’re just not fast enough to catch him otherwise!"

A sense of defeat hit me immediately. To think I, the so-called best mechanical player in the game, would be undermined by a mere boss!

Pa!

I tossed out another Purple Crystal as bait and gripped the Chill of the Nine Provinces tightly. I’m definitely going to catch him this time!

Unfortunately, our combined efforts resulted in a MISS again. I had heeded Beiming Xue’s advice and tried to use Cold of the Nine Provinces to catch the miniboss, but he still managed to elude my grasp. The skill had a range of 100 yards! Just how fast was this motherfucker? 100 meters per second?

……

Again!

One, two, three, four…

It wasn’t long before there were only 3 Purple Crystals between Lin Yixin and I. There was one time we almost caught Dragon Domain Scavenger, but…

"Big brother, I think we spooked him…"

Beiming Xue said incredulously after no one came to grab our third last Purple Crystal for a long time.

Lian Xin said, "Yeah. It’s because big brother Lu Chen almost caught him with the God Binding Art just now. It won’t be easy to bait him out this time."

I tossed out our two remaining Purple Crystals and cursed, "Fuck it, I’m going all in! I refuse to believe we can’t catch the motherfucker!"

At this point, even He Yi and Lin Yixin had stopped grinding the mobs. We all stared intently at the three Purple Crystals until we almost forgot to breathe.

……

Unfortunately, nothing happened after ten minutes had passed.

Lin Yixin said, "Damn, it really looks like he’s too afraid to make one more attempt. It’s time to make a real sacrifice, Little Cheat. Bring out the Divine Crystal…"

I said with a pained expression, "Seriously? It’s an 87 Quality Divine Crystal! It could be sold for 87k RMB! Are you really willing to make me gamble this much money?"

Lin Yixin stared. "Says the guy gets paid a yearly salary of almost 20 million from Lenovo. Just do it. You can’t catch the pervert if you don’t risk your wife…"

Me: "…"
