The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

It was filled with gold coins and all sorts of jewelry.

The interior is made of some special material, and it is very bright.

As soon as a small hole was made, the gold coins poured down like a river.

The sight before their eyes made the players swallow hard.

"Holy crap, how many gold coins is that?!"

For a moment, the players looked at each other in confusion, but soon some of them noticed something was wrong.

The player randomly picked up a few gold coins.

[Item Description: Ancient Gold Coin]

Gold coins with a rich history may have been a mainstream form of currency at some point in time.

However, because so much time has passed, it has lost its value for circulation.

However, you could sell it to Jiang Chen, an NPC who enjoys collecting things; he might be able to offer a good price.

Upon seeing this notification, the players were slightly taken aback.

"So that's what it's all about. I was thinking this dungeon could make us rich overnight."

"That's normal. It's like the background gold coins in the gold coin dungeon. You can't take them all, right? This game is quite generous; at least you can exchange some."

"That's not bad. We'll organize all of these things and sell them to the NPCs."

"We should be able to sell quite a few, and we can split the profits equally."

At that moment, the players did not notice that Lilith and Jiang Chen had appeared in the distance at some unknown time.

"Damn, that scared me! Luckily I reacted quickly!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

During this time, Jiang Chen also kept a close eye on what was happening here.

He was also very curious about what was inside the box.

This morning, he saw in the players' chat channel that they seemed to be mentioning that the box was about to be opened.

Upon receiving this news, Jiang Chen immediately rushed over.

However, considering safety, he chose to observe from a distance.

Then, when the players opened the box and saw what was inside, Jiang Chen's breath caught in his throat.

It's absolutely outrageous; it's filled with all sorts of jewelry and gold coins.

Upon seeing these items, Jiang Chen immediately became alert. If all these gold coins were taken by the players, his economic system would collapse without a doubt.

This inflation is likely to increase by tens of thousands of times.

Jiang Chen panicked.

Fortunately, he cleverly came up with this idea.

Isn't it normal for items in games to look like coins?

For example, some games sell items that cost in-game currency, such as gold bars or other materials.

The requirement to exchange currency for usable game currency through NPCs is not a problem.

So he immediately got to work.

That was close; we almost messed things up.

Compared to Jiang Chen, Lilith was dumbfounded.

"Seriously, you bunch of party animals, is your heads filled with nothing but thesis defenses?"

"These are all gold coins, real gold coins! Why would you spout such nonsense as trading gold coins for gold coins?"

Lilith couldn't quite understand what these partygoers were thinking.

This goes beyond just being outrageous.

To be honest, Lilith felt that if she stayed with this group of Patas any longer, she might turn into an idiot.

Who would take ready-made gold coins and trade them with other people for gold coins?

This doesn't make sense logically.

That doesn't make logical sense either.

So how did this group of Pata manage to make such an absurd thing sound so natural?

Immediately afterwards, Lilith's gaze unconsciously drifted towards Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, how did you do that?"

Lilith felt that if she mastered this ability, she would become rich.

"It's none of your business how I did it."

"This ability is innate; you can't learn it. I'll be perfectly fine using this method, but if you dare to use it, you'll definitely get beaten to death."

Seeing that Jiang Chen was unwilling to speak, Lilith simply snorted coldly.

"Fine, I won't tell you then, you stingy little thing."

As she spoke, Lilith's gaze returned to the box.

"Jiang Chen, look what that is!"

As she spoke, Lilith pointed to a blue egg.

"This looks like an egg!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen also looked over curiously.

It really was an egg.

"What is this thing?"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen immediately instructed the players to bring the item out.

Before long, a group of players were gathered around the egg, discussing it non-stop.

"So what kind of thing's egg is this?"

"It felt extremely cold when I got close, which is strange."

"I have a feeling that some powerful monster or something might hatch from inside this thing."

For a moment, everyone was discussing it.

Lilith and Jiang Chen also stepped forward and carefully examined the egg.

"Hey Lilith, do you know what kind of monster's egg this is?"

Seeing this, Lilith shook her head, looking somewhat bewildered.

"I've never seen an egg like this before."

"However, it would be delicious to use it to make fried eggs."

Lilith couldn't help but swallow hard when she thought about the fried eggs the players were selling.

...

And right now, inside the egg.

The dragon girl slowly opened her closed eyes.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"So how long have I been asleep?"

She remembered that when she last woke up, it seemed that a group of weak Pata had entered the ruins, probably to make their home there.

The dragon girl wasn't worried at all about being found by this group of sluts.

First of all, the place where I live is not connected to the ruins outside.

There are no portals or passages that allow entry here.

Moreover, the ruins are full of traps. For the weak Pata, these places might be considered forbidden zones, places they would never dare to set foot in.

After all, these mindless monsters are just like that.

On the contrary, these monsters can provide an extra layer of protection for the ruins, allowing them to slumber more peacefully.

All I need to do is absorb the high-quality magic crystals I've prepared while I'm asleep, and then slowly grow stronger.

Once the magic crystal is fully absorbed, that will be the time when I awaken and become an adult.

I can leave here once I'm an adult.

At that moment, the Dragon Girl sensed something.

I have stopped absorbing magic power. It is obvious that the magic crystals I prepared, which I could absorb for a hundred years, have been completely absorbed.

At the same time, she could no longer sense any fluctuations in the formation.

It's obvious that these formations have stopped operating due to the lack of magic power.

"Does time really fly by?"

"I feel like I haven't been asleep for very long, but I can't believe a century has already passed."

"It seems it's time to wake up."

"I wonder if those Pata who went into the ruins back then are still there?"

"I suppose he's no longer here."

"Thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, they're just a bunch of weak monsters. I wonder what kind of monsters are currently occupying the ruins."

"It's a good opportunity to go out and make these monsters submit to me and become my first batch of subordinates. I think they will feel very honored."

The Dragon Girl thought to herself.

And so, amidst Jiang Chen and the others' discussion...

The eggshell began to crack.

Then an even colder aura swept over the surroundings.

At the same time, pale blue light seeped out from the cracks.

"They've hatched!"

"Brothers, look! They've hatched!"

"Holy crap, what kind of thing did they say hatched?"

"I don't know, but I feel it must be a very strong creature. Look at the special effects when it hatched, it definitely won't be bad."

The players immediately started discussing it excitedly.

However, compared to other players, Jiang Chen had already seen the panel of this player.

[Name: Frost Dragon Aetheria (Juvenile Stage)]

Age: 22

[Faction: Chaotic Evil]

[Race: Dragon, Frost Dragon (Ancient Dragon Bloodline)]

[Level: LV65]

[Vitality: 85,000]

[Magic Power: 5]

Attack: 2300, Defense: 1600, Agility: 160, Spirit: 350

【种族技能：形态切换LV3-龙族威压LV4-凛冬吐息LV3-冰晶领域LV5-龙之怒LV4-寒冰屏障LV4-龙语魔法永冻冰川LV2】

【技能：冰霜冲击LV4-冰甲LV3-领域适应LV4-永恆冻土LV3-冰灵召唤LV3-狂暴LV3-元素抗性LV4-再生LV3】

He subconsciously swallowed.

"So this is a fucking dragon egg!"

And it was quite obvious that it was still a young dragon.

To be honest, Jiang Chen was quite envious of this dragon, which was at level 65 even in its juvenile form.

Especially these basic attributes.

Even if you max out your level, you'll still be left far behind.

Moreover, their innate skills are all incredibly strong.

It has to be said, fate is unfair.

However, upon seeing this young dragon, Jiang Chen immediately had an idea.

This is a great opportunity. I can't bully an adult dragon on my own, but I can talk about a young dragon.

So Jiang cleared his throat.

"Ahem... Everyone, get ready for battle. Bring all the war machines over."

"If that guy inside dares to make any other move, beat him to a pulp later!"

Upon hearing what Jiang Chen said, all the players present looked at each other in bewilderment.

However, they immediately realized what was happening.

"Hurry, brothers!"

"War Machine!"

"Get all the weapons ready."

"Also, prepare all the magic. If anything inside moves unusually, follow the NPC's instructions."

As they spoke, the players who had been discussing immediately sprang into action.

These war machines were originally used by players to help with mining.

Some were responsible for transporting ore.

Some went to destroy areas that were difficult to excavate; in short, the players' war machines were mostly parked nearby.

Soon, the players had already arranged everything perfectly here.

"Jiang Chen, what's going on?" Lilith asked, somewhat puzzled.

Jiang Chen, however, only glanced at her.

"What are you still doing here?"

"Huh?" Lilith asked, somewhat puzzled. "If I'm not here, then where should I be?"

"Get out!"

"Still watching here? If you think you can withstand the abyss magic later, then stay here."

Upon hearing what Jiang Chen said, Lilith was taken aback, and then she realized something.

"Are there some terrifying creatures in there?"

"Otherwise what? Why do you think I'm making such a fuss? Hurry up and get out, or you might get hurt in the process."

Upon hearing this, Lilith nodded quickly and ran towards the exit of the ruins as fast as she could.

Just as Jiang Chen said, when all these players unleash their abyss magic, his small frame might not be able to withstand it.

At the same time, the players are also very vigilant.

Then, under everyone's watchful eyes, the crack in the eggshell grew larger and larger.

For a moment, all the players held their breath.

Then the players saw the eggshell fragments begin to fall off one by one.

Soon, a crack the size of a palm appeared, and then a small, white hand reached out from inside and pushed the eggshell out.

Soon after, a hole about fifty or sixty centimeters in diameter appeared.

Then, a small head with light blue long hair and scales faintly visible on its cheeks popped out from inside.

As soon as Aesya emerged, she saw a group of menacing Pata surrounding her. These Pata were entirely black with golden markings on their bodies.

And the aura emanating from each of them was not weak.

Although they were very weak in her own eyes, Aiseya was sure that if it were other races, they would be completely different when facing these Pata.

"When did Pata get this subspecies?"

Then his gaze slowly moved.

Aesya saw a strange, round object not far away.

Behind these circular objects was a massive weapon of war, holding a blood-red scythe, ready to strike at any moment.

"Am I overdoing it?" Asya felt like she was hallucinating.

After all, who wouldn't be stunned if they just woke up and saw such a scene?

So, thinking she was dreaming, Athena shrank back.

Then....

His head popped out again.

His eyes were filled with disbelief.

"This isn't a dream!"

"So what's going on? Why am I surrounded by a bunch of pats?"

Then Athena discovered something.

I don't seem to have grown up!

It is still in the juvenile stage.

Aesya: ? ? ?

Who am I? Where am I? What happened?

A subconscious glance around made Athena feel like she was going to die.

What she saw was that the ruins her parents had painstakingly built for her were long gone.

Even the magic circle around the place where he was sleeping had been destroyed, and there was a large hole in the box, clearly indicating that he had been dragged out!

At this moment, Athena understood exactly what had happened.

A surge of anger rose from the bottom of my heart.

"Those wretched Pata!"

"They've disturbed my slumber!"

"I could have hidden here and slept until I grew up, and then left to take my revenge."

The parents also paid a huge price for this plan.

It's probably still being hunted by the dragons, and no one knows where it's hiding.

And so, the originally flawless plan was ruined by this group of despicable Pata.

And most importantly, this special ability can only be used once.

This made Asya feel like the sky had fallen.

My future, everything I and my parents planned, was destroyed so in a muddle by this group of despicable bastards.

"Damn it! I'll kill you all!"

The next moment, a massive dragon's might spread outwards from her.

Then Athena was dumbfounded.

These strange patters acted as if nothing had happened.

His own dragon might had absolutely no effect on them.

Of course, that's not the main point. The main point is that a deep abyssal aura emanated from their bodies, instantly filling the entire area.

The intense abyssal aura caused Athena's expression to freeze.

At the same time, she also saw that the huge iron pipes on the war machine not far away were already pointed at her.

The magic above surged wildly.

Aiseya could sense magic fluctuations of about level 7.

It is at least a powerful seventh-tier spell.

When did Pata become so outrageous?

Not only can it use the power of the abyss, but most importantly, it also possesses weapons of war.

A pale blue shield enveloped Athena, desperately resisting the surrounding abyssal aura.

"Have I been transferred to the Abyss Dungeon?" Asya wondered.

"Damn it, don't underestimate the noble dragon race!"

"You're nothing but a bunch of weak Pata! Don't think that just because you have weapons of war and some so-called abyssal magic, you can stand against the great dragon race!"

Before Athena could make a move, she saw the creature directly in front of her, its body engulfed in green flames, with a special rune mark on its forehead.

A magical fluctuation unique to divine artifacts emanated from this source.

"God... a divine artifact?! Are you kidding me?!"

Then she saw the dark flames burning near Jiang Chen.

"This is the aura of an evil god!"

"A skill bestowed by the gods!"

Seeing Jiang Chen unleash the dark flames, she was a little confused.

No, you're just a Pata. Having a divine artifact is already ridiculous enough, so why would you receive a blessing from the gods?

What's wrong with the god who blesses you?

Before she could even catch her breath, another one hopped over.

"Death Blossom!" Salty Fish didn't hesitate to cast this skill on himself, already prepared to self-destruct.

"The aura of a god again! And another divinely bestowed skill!"

"No...no! One 'pa pa' is already abnormal enough! How come there are two?"

"When did the attention of the gods become so worthless?!" Asya was a little confused.

Then Athena suddenly realized something very important.

"Given the strength these Pata are currently displaying, I'd probably die if a real fight broke out."

"It definitely will!"

Aiseya knew very well that if she were in her adult form, this group of Pata wouldn't be a match for her at all.

The problem is that I'm still in the larval stage.

If a fight broke out, I really wouldn't be able to win.

Moreover, looking at those piercing gazes, Athena felt that she was probably going to die here.

"What a joke! How could I, a noble dragon of the Aisya clan, possibly die at the hands of a bunch of bastards?"

Even if this group of Pata is a special subspecies, this is still absolutely unacceptable.

This is the dignity that belongs to the dragon race.

The problem is that, given the current situation, I might actually die.

However, it soon seemed that Athena had thought of something.

"Yes, how come I didn't think of that?"

"No matter how strange these Pata are, Pata are still Pata, just a bunch of monsters with little intelligence."

Thinking of this, Athena suddenly had an idea.

I am a noble dragon with wisdom, how could I be compared to this bunch of fools?

And so...

"Hey...where am I?"

Who are you?

"Oh... I remember now, so I'm your companion race!"

Asya said with an innocent look on her face.

Seeing that none of the Pata had reacted, Aesya was also a little puzzled.

What happened?

Don't these Pata know what a symbiotic species is?

With that in mind, Aethas decided to give the Pata a proper explanation.

"Um, do you guys know what a companion species is?"

"This symbiotic race means best friend."

"So, do you little Pataas understand now? I am your symbiotic species, your best friend."

Upon hearing Athena's explanation, someone among the players couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious, it's even a companion species."

"This one, just like Lilith back then, uses the guise of a companion race."

"How would you rate this campaign? The planning is so unoriginal. Why do they keep using the same kind of copy? Can't they even bother to change it?"

.......

"Huh?" Hearing the clattering sounds from the crowd, Athena was a little confused.

Has anyone used it?

"wrong!"

"What's going on with these Pata! Why can Pata talk?"

"Is this really necessary?"

Before Athena could react, Jiang Chen's voice came.

"I'm sorry, Pata doesn't have any companion species."

"And most importantly, even if they exist, they absolutely cannot be dragons."

"Haha...that's true. How could anyone believe such a stupid thing as dragons being a symbiotic race of pata?" Asya laughed.

"Well... since there's been a misunderstanding, it's probably none of my business anymore. How about I leave first, and you guys continue chatting here?"

"I asked tentatively," Athena asked.

"Leave? Where to?" Jiang Chen's cold voice came.

"You suddenly appear on our territory, do you think you can escape?"

Upon hearing this, Athena's voice turned cold. "What do you want to do?"

"I don't think it's unreasonable to charge you a little rent since you've lived on our land for so long."

"The requirements aren't high; just signing a master-servant contract will suffice."

Upon hearing this, Athena immediately flew into a rage.

"You lowly pata, do you even know what you're saying?"

"You actually want to make the great dragon race your weakling slaves!"

"Don't think I'm easy to bully just because I don't want to fight. Today I'll show you the price of angering the dragons."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen did not hesitate and immediately stepped back, shielding everyone in front of him.

"Brothers, get him!"

Almost simultaneously, the players launched their attack as soon as the words were spoken.

And Athena immediately transformed into a giant dragon.

However, being a young dragon, it was far inferior to Moses, the adult dragon.

"roar!"

With a deafening roar, Athena unleashed her dragon breath.

A chilling aura emanated from its mouth, sweeping towards the players.
