Chapter 362 The Red Winged Dragon Elder's Free Flight Ticket

The duration of this Armored Warriors dungeon run is around the median average, so by this point, about half of the players have returned, whether they completed the run or left, making the player community quite lively.

Cheng Tian casually put on a Kamen Rider V3 mask and appeared directly in the market without even bothering to disguise his figure, taking a cursory look around.

The vast majority of people here are individual vendors. What they sell today depends entirely on what they got from the previous sale and what they traded away. There is no pattern to it, so it is difficult to form a cohesive group like a "cat and dog market" or a "flower, bird, fish and insect market". If you want to find something, you can only honestly sweep through the stalls.

This is actually something Cheng Tian really enjoys doing.

When playing World of Warcraft, he likes to go to the auction house and check the prices of items whenever he has free time. This satisfies his desire to see items from different dungeons and also helps him to actively learn about prices and market trends.

There are far too many people like him, because there's still a chance of finding someone lucky, since the Chosen One Space is always welcoming new members.

However, Cheng Tian already had a certain target in mind before he started sweeping the stalls.

Cheng Tian was 100% certain that as long as he opened the Dinosaur Fighting dungeon, he would definitely be able to get a Triceratops, and it might even be a "pentagram" mutated unit.

The Brontosaurus or Brachiosaurus are also units that existed in the original game. They are the ones that stomp on the player's feet. Even if you can't find a living one, you can definitely find a corpse.

The saber-toothed tiger is the only one that is relatively difficult to find.

Cheng Tian had also done a deliberate search, and there were actually quite a few in-game units associated with saber-toothed tigers.

Examples like the saber-toothed tiger from Ark: Survival Evolved and the Swift Zulian Tiger from World of Warcraft are probably the closest individuals to the real saber-toothed tiger in terms of their labels, requiring almost no additional modifications.

As for other individuals whose origin is saber-toothed tiger, the situation is somewhat complicated.

For example, Leopard from Pokémon, Barioth from Monster Hunter, and SaberLeomon from Digimon.

They clearly no longer belong to the category of "tiger," retaining only the attribute of "saber teeth," which is quite different from Cheng Tian's needs... Of course, including them, especially the Golden Saber Lion Beast, in the scope of consideration is somewhat wishful thinking.

All things considered, the Saber-toothed Tiger in Arknights is definitely not rare and is the most likely to be acquired by more players.

As it turned out, Cheng Tian's analysis was very accurate; after wandering around, they indeed found more than one place selling saber-toothed tiger reins.

No matter how eloquently they speak, they cannot conceal a very serious fundamental problem—

That's the saber-toothed tiger from Arknights, it's so weak!
When Cheng Tian saw the attributes of the dish, he couldn't help but frown.

With agility of just over 20 but less than 30, strength around 20 with a very poor strength-to-health ratio, and no hope for spirit attributes, its innate biological trait is basically just "accelerated bleeding," making it quite weak.

Of course, Cheng Tian also began to reflect on his emotions as soon as he realized that he had unconsciously compared this ordinary saber-toothed tiger with his war elephant mammoth, pterosaur, and crimson tyrannosaurus rex. This was actually quite unfair to his unremarkable younger brother tiger.

However, given the strength of his existing combat mounts, the thought of acquiring a rather ordinary saber-toothed tiger created a strong, instinctive resistance in Cheng Tian. Most importantly, combat mounts are different from vehicles; they are living beings, not collectibles. Cheng Tian wasn't the kind of irresponsible owner who would take full responsibility once he bought one. But the idea of ​​purchasing it with a discriminatory mindset was something he couldn't overcome himself, leaving him conflicted about whether to prioritize keeping one.

But while he was struggling with this decision, Cheng Tian spotted a prop at a nearby stall—

"The Red Pterosaur Elder's Free Flight Ticket"

[Red Pterosaur Elder's Free Flight Ticket: Consumable, Special Item. A certificate personally issued by the Red Pterosaur Elder; with it, the Red Pterosaur Elder will give you a free ride.]

When used in a dungeon, the Red Wyvern Elder will appear out of thin air and fly you to the area you want to go. This action can skip certain areas and boss units that must be cleared in the process.

Depending on the difficulty of the dungeon, the area that can be traversed will vary. The lower the dungeon difficulty, the larger the area span, and the higher the dungeon difficulty, the smaller the area span.

Note that this action may also cause the main quest to be forcibly interrupted due to the lack of key BOSS drops. In this case, you may need to find and trigger a new quest yourself, or try to go back and resume the main quest.

If the original main storyline is not resumed or a new main storyline is not triggered within a certain period of time, the game will be forced into an evacuation phase.

[You have a save file related to the standalone dungeon "Adventurers' New Dinosaur Era" from the game "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs"]

[It has been detected that you maintain a good personal reputation with the "Purple Dragon Elder" in this instance.]

[You have been granted one unconditional permission to replace the main storyline dungeon with "Adventurer's New Dinosaur Era"]

When you use the "Red Wyvern Elder's Free Flight Ticket" within the space, this item will trigger a special effect—

You can directly open the "Adventurer's New Dinosaur World" extra dungeon during the space stay time; this operation will not occupy the original monthly trial main story dungeon.

Upon seeing this series of prompts, Cheng Tian's eyes slightly opened, but he quickly suppressed them.

In the MapleStory 3 dungeons, the purple dragon elder is responsible for guarding the dragon eggs and distributing them to the players who find them, while the red winged dragon elder is responsible for sending the players who find them to other areas, which is commonly known as skipping levels.

This thing could actually change his own main storyline access permissions, which obviously made Cheng Tian have some suspicions. The stall owner on the other side happened to be there, so he chose to try to get information out of him.

When Cheng Tian heard the vendor claiming that he had protected Elder Red Pterosaur while being chased by a fire-breathing Tyrannosaurus Rex in order to increase the price of the item, he was pretty sure that the vendor was one of the players who had been on the side of the Dinosaur Protection Association during the same mission.

It seems that after being sprayed by the Crimson Tyrannosaurus Rex, the other side also had their own adventures. At least the free flight ticket from the Red Pterosaur Elder was a real thing.

Having made up his mind, Cheng Tian no longer hesitated and decisively spent two W to exchange for this flight ticket, whose actual use was rather subtle.

After acquiring the saber-toothed tiger, Cheng Tian temporarily put aside the issue and instead instructed Bazett to go to Ghost Village to start purchasing more.
