Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 96 The Great Riot in the Monster Mountain Range, Ninth-Tier Sub-Dragon! (33)

Looked at the time.

It's just past four in the afternoon.

There are still nearly eight hours until the simulation begins.

Lin Ke stretched lazily, then habitually opened a video website.

After all, Lin Ke is currently curious about the situation of the second-round players.

Sure enough, the first video I opened was a player's crazy rant.

This was a young but already bald man. He seemed rather vulnerable at the moment and got straight to the point.

"Damn, what a crappy game this is!"

"Wasn't the first game supposed to be a mode where you choose your path based on the story, and you'd almost never die?!"

"Come on, you damn test-test players, tell me, what the hell is this opening kill thing all about?!"

As they were talking, the man's image switched to a video recording.

Judging from the image, it appears to be a recording of the computer screen taken from an external part of the phone. It's not very high-definition, but you can still clearly see the entire process of the man playing the game.

As soon as the video started, the man selected a human, following the established procedure.

The computer screen then went black and quickly lit up again.

The next moment, the man's random character was selected!
Judging from the scene, the man should be in a prison.

Inside this prison, there are still a large number of humans, and the environment is generally very bad.

As for the scene where the man's image freezes, a plot option appears.

First, kill all the humans in the entire cell to determine the next steps in the game.

Secondly, lead all the humans in the cell to secretly unlock the door and escape, thus determining the subsequent gameplay.

Third, do not run away, wait for an opportunity, and determine the next course of action.

Faced with three choices, if it were Lin Ke now, he would probably choose number three, since it's the safest option.

But if he hadn't known the special features of the real game from the beginning, he would probably have chosen option two.

As for option one, Lin Ke would definitely not consider it, but for many players who like to create drama, if they don't know the real inside story of the game, option one would definitely be chosen.

As for the man in front of him, he was actually quite steady, choosing number three.

What happens after you choose the storyline?
The gameplay is a solo mode, with no starting rewards or anything like that.

And just as time seemed to begin to flow, a humanoid creature that Lin Ke was somewhat familiar with suddenly appeared outside the prison.

It has blue skin all over its body and is about 2.5 meters tall.

They were clearly the same group of humanoid creatures that Link encountered before the second map.

This blue-skinned man had two horns on his head and looked somewhat old with a hunched back, but the robe he wore was quite exquisite.

When the blue-skinned mage arrived at the cell where the prisoner was located, he merely glanced indifferently at the fewer than thirty humans inside.

He then began to mutter to himself, and the next second, streaks of gray light formed a sphere of light in his hand.

The sphere of light appeared and, in an instant, emitted a large number of rays.

The ray was directed at the humans inside the cell, and the man was not spared from being penetrated by it.

A hole appeared in his forehead, and the image was frozen in time.

[You died from the troll mage's soul absorption; game over.]

???

Not only the guy in the video couldn't hold back, but Lin Ke was also starting to lose his composure.

Has the game environment for second rounds become this bad?

"Or is this just an isolated case?"

Lin Ke kept refreshing, and wow, he refreshed several more that died at the very beginning of the game.

Moreover, one of the videos made it even harder for Lin Ke to stay focused.

"Holy crap!!! What the hell?!"

"I started as a skeleton, and before I even had a chance to smash a few skeleton minions' heads, you're telling me I'm dead?"

"I could accept being killed by other monsters normally, but the worst part is, I was killed by the top player! You son of a bitch, what kind of idiot top player is this?!"

"Aren't you supposed to be in the Western Regions? How did you end up in the Land of the Dead? That's fucking ridiculous."

That's right.

The player in this video is someone who was reborn in the Great Tomb in his second round.

Then, just as Lin Ke was wreaking havoc in the first level of space, the unlucky guy was swept up by the tornado.

[You died from the lead player's hurricane spell; game over.]

The several large, bright characters clearly showed that Lin Ke was not wronged.

In this guy's game video, there was never a dragon in sight.

The only thing visible was a terrifying tornado that suddenly appeared, and then the guy was sucked in.

The body was torn to pieces, the skull struck the wind, and ultimately the soul's fire dissipated.

The image freezes at this point.

Lin Ke was also helpless about this.

What could he do? In that situation, he couldn't worry about whether there were other players among the undead.

There are always unlucky people every year.

Who can you blame when you're unlucky?
next.

Lin Ke is trying his best to filter out players who will enter the second world in the second round.

However, since this is only the beginning of the second round of players' journey, and many have not even finished the game yet, there are still too few videos and messages.

Lin Ke wasn't in a hurry about this.

With the deductions conducted after midnight tonight, the situation in the new world will become clear. So, Lin Ke prepared to go downstairs to buy some groceries and cook himself a meal for dinner.

And in the brief moment that Lin Ke went out.

It was also when his game character returned to the forest where he was.

Somewhere on the summit of the outer mountains of the Warcraft Mountains.

At this moment, two sixth-tier quasi-overlord level magical beasts were meeting together.

One of them is an enlarged version of a bird.

The other one is a two-headed wolf.

"Those low-level magical beasts in the wasteland have been causing quite a stir lately, following that young dragon."

"Foolish wolf, has there been any news from my lord? Has the identity of that young dragon been confirmed?"

The bird, with a wingspan of over thirty meters, landed and, while preening its feathers with its beak, casually asked the two-headed wolf a question.

"You stupid bird, why do you care so much?!"

"Let that young dragon play as it pleases. It saves us the trouble of arranging beast tides to remind those greedy humans every time!"

One of the two-headed wolves said this.

But its second head began to shake its head.

"No, my brother, we can't think like that."

"Although we can pretend we didn't see the baby dragon, if it dies in the wasteland, we might be in big trouble later."

"Dragon meat, dragon blood, dragon bones—these are all good things for those greedy humans. That young dragon is acting so recklessly; I'm really worried that it will attract the attention of powerful humans."

"If this young dragon dies in the wasteland, do you think the sub-dragons in the mountains will listen to our explanation?"

The thought of the young dragon dying in the wasteland sent a chill down the second wolf's spine at the prospect of facing a dominant sub-dragon.

Upon hearing this, the bird also laughed.

"See? Your head is pretty smart."

"Besides, I've always had my doubts."

"What kind of identity does a sub-dragon have that it could sneak out from the depths of the mountains for so long without being discovered? I find that too strange."

"Logically speaking, the masters deep in the mountains should have already sent out news, whether it was to escort them back or to use them as hostages to exchange for benefits, but there is not a single piece of news."

"Don't you guys find this a little strange?"

The bird pondered, while the larger of the two-headed wolves continued, seemingly unconcerned:
"What's so strange about that? Those overlords, aren't they all old monsters? They could sleep for countless years. It's only been a short time. What's so strange about that?"

"I sent wolf cubs to inquire about our master several dozen days ago. I expect to hear back soon. Let's just wait and see, what else can we do?"

The other wolf head nodded at the opportune moment.

"Yes, given the current situation, it's best to wait."

"After all, we might not get away with protecting that young dragon. Besides, we don't know what our master's attitude is towards the dragon race, or which beast lord they belong to. For now, ignoring it is the best outcome."

The birds listened and nodded in agreement.

After all, its purpose in coming here was simply to inquire about the two-headed wolf.

The sixth-tier magical beasts atop the various mountain ranges are currently keeping a respectful distance from the young dragons that have appeared in the wasteland.

However, it was precisely during this time that these two overlords were exchanging ideas on the mountaintop.

Suddenly, from the other side of the mountain peak, deep in the plains behind the outer mountain range, a large number of trees collapsed, and at the same time, a series of huge roars were heard!

Clearly, only a giant monster could cause this effect.

Moreover, along with the roaring sound came the running and roaring of a large number of advanced magical beasts.

At the same time, a dense swarm of newly ascended birds and beasts flew in from the sky.

Upon seeing this, the bird's eyes narrowed, and the two-headed wolf quickly stood up, both heads displaying expressions of both fear and joy.

"It's been many years! Almost five hundred years, I suppose."

"Finally, another overlord has arrived at the outer mountain. However, it is unknown whether he has come for the young dragon or is finally going to launch a large-scale conquest against the greedy humans."

The two-headed wolf had a complicated expression, while the bird remained silent, its sharp eyes fixed on the distance.

Finally, the enormous bird-like monster spoke in a panicked and heavy tone.

"Perhaps both of the situations you described are true!"

"This time, there's more than just one overlord!"

"The leader is actually a ninth-tier Earth Dragon! And accompanying him are not only the Demon Bull, but also more than a dozen overlords I've never seen before!"

The bird cried out in alarm and immediately soared into the sky, as if to greet the overlord-level magical beast of the Magical Beast Mountain Range!
At the same time, the entire outer side of the nearby Monster Mountain Range was alarmed.

Dozens of sixth-tier flying magical beasts took off from various places, leading their clans to meet the army of overlord-level magical beasts.

Only then did the two-headed wolf standing atop the mountain see clearly.

As another grove of giant trees, some hundreds of meters tall, collapsed, a colossal creature over three hundred meters long and fifty meters tall at the shoulder appeared.

It resembles a tortoise in appearance, with thick, uneven skin on its body that looks like rugged rocks.

Just one glance was enough to make the two-headed wolf tremble.

At this moment, behind the so-called earth dragon, three enormous eighth-tier creatures and sixteen seventh-tier overlord magical beasts also appeared in succession.

At the same time, something terrifying emerged from the clouds in the distant sky!
That was yet another ninth-tier sub-dragon!
This dragon was fiery red all over, and its body was serpentine, with an overall length of over two hundred meters. It had a flat head and sharp eyes.

Looking down at the earth, at that moment, countless magical beasts on the mountaintop felt a deep fear.

Accompanying them were more than twenty dominant avian magical beasts, including seven or eight dominant sub-dragons and 'little sub-dragons' with sub-dragon bloodlines.

The magical beasts surged forth in a mighty procession. Led by two ninth-tier sub-dragons, more than six thousand advanced magical beasts of various ranks emerged from the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, while the number of unadvanced magical beasts numbered at least three hundred thousand.

The war in the Eastern Frontier was not yet over when the Monster Mountain Range also began to take action.

It is conceivable that the overlords of the Monster Mountain Range were not completely unaware of the outside world, and that this operation was initiated because they knew about the war in the Eastern Territory.
