Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

"Why are there skeletons here too?"

Li Ming sat atop a mountain of bones, cursing loudly to the sky.

Not long after he landed, he was surrounded by skeleton soldiers that emerged from the ground.

It took a lot of effort to kill them all.

"If I had known there were so many skeletons, I wouldn't have been so reckless."

There weren't many skeletons when we first landed.

After discovering that the skeletons were weak and could not harm him, Li Ming decided to gain some experience and started fighting the skeleton soldiers.

Unexpectedly, once the battle began, skeleton soldiers kept emerging from the ground.

During the battle, he had to use the skill [Flame Aura] multiple times, which led to him being too exhausted to transform into a dragon and escape when he tried to break free.

Fortunately, he was tough and resilient. The skeletons were all melee fighters and quite large, so the number of skeletons that could attack him at the same time was limited. This allowed him to barely withstand the tidal wave of skeleton attacks and wipe them out.

Although he ultimately won, Li Ming was not happy at all.

"Those useless skeleton soldiers! They don't have any experience at all!"

Not only did he lack experience, but he also bought some healing items during the battle, leaving his already precarious wallet almost empty.

"Click~ Click~"

Li Ming had only been sitting down for less than a minute when the familiar voices came from the outside again.

He stood up and looked around, then felt dizzy and collapsed back to the ground.

Countless more skeleton soldiers appeared on the outskirts of the Bone Mountain, approaching step by step.

"Garlic Bird~ Garlic Bird~ Let's leave here first!"

He checked his remaining energy: 66.

"It could indeed transform into a dragon, but without sufficient energy reserves, it's not very safe."

Let's take another look at the remaining gold coins: 260.

"Tsk~ Keeping these gold coins will only buy some potions, damn it, I've spent them!"

He gritted his teeth, spent 60 gold coins to exchange for a bottle of [Purification Potion] from the system shop, tilted his head back, and drank it down in one gulp.

[Purification Potion] provides a 25-second energy recovery effect, restoring 6 energy points per second for a total of 150 energy points.

However, after actually using it, Li Ming felt that the effect was better than the system's description, because it also restored some of the consumed physical strength, and the soreness in his limbs was also relieved.

Without waiting for the [purification potion] effect to wear off, he transformed into a giant dragon. His massive body crushed the small mountain of bones beneath him with a single stomp. Just as he was about to spread his wings and take flight, the system's voice made him stop.

[High-energy crystals detected. Should it be absorbed?]

He lifted his foot and looked down, only to see a pile of bone fragments on the ground.

"Where are the crystals?"

Li Ming blinked, scratched his head, and wondered if he was hallucinating.

However, the system's information records cannot be falsified.

Finally, he tentatively said, "Absorb!"

Some things that resembled bone fragments turned into streaks of light and disappeared from his body.

Gold Coins +1

......

Gold Coins +1

The number of gold coins in the system instantly exceeded 300.

Li Ming discovered that after absorbing the so-called "high-energy crystals," he only gained more gold coins and did not experience any strange negative effects.

Great joy!

He immediately unleashed a powerful kick at the bone fragments on the ground, and as the system notifications continued to ring out, the number of stored gold coins also steadily increased.

He also clearly saw what the "high-energy crystals" absorbed by the system were.

That was a small, grayish-white crystal inside the skull, probably the energy that powers the skeleton soldiers.

After realizing the value of the skeleton soldiers, Li Ming was in no hurry to leave.

He quickly crushed all the skeletons around him, increasing his gold coin reserves to 1000, and then turned his attention to the approaching army of skeletons.

He hadn't seen it clearly on the ground, but now that he was flying in the sky, he realized that he was in a sea of ​​skeletons, with gray and white skeletons everywhere he looked.

Some skeletons were resting on the ground because there was no fighting around, while others dug holes and buried themselves in the ground, where they would emerge during a battle.

What others saw as a terrifying sea of ​​skulls has now become, in his eyes, a sea of ​​gold coins to be seized at will, a wild money tree.

"With so many skeletons, I could earn so many gold coins if I cleaned them all up!"

Li Ming licked his lips and crashed into the nearest group of skeletons.

Shattered bone fragments flew everywhere, and the scorching heat of the flames charred the gray bones of the skeleton soldiers.

Against the backdrop of "+1 Gold Coins," he happily immersed himself in defeating monsters and collecting gold coins.

......

"boom--"

Another skeleton was reduced to parts by Li Ming's fist. Li Ming skillfully crushed its skull, leaving only the energy crystals inside.

[Gold Coin +1], the crystal disappeared from your hand.

"Click~"

He stood on the ground littered with broken bones, shook his aching arms, and twisted his stiff neck, making a crisp sound.

"It turns out that picking up money really can be tiring!"

Looking around, the area that had just been cleared was now dotted with scattered skeletons again.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm too tired. If I keep playing, I might earn money but not live to spend it. I have to leave."

Despite the fact that his health and energy levels remained healthy thanks to various healing and mana-restoring potions after the long battle, he was mentally exhausted and his physical functions had reached their limit.

At this moment, the veins on his head were bulging, and he had a splitting headache; his limbs were weak and limp, and he was about to collapse.

Fortunately, the harvest was excellent, and the gold coin inventory once again exceeded 10,000.

Looking at the approaching skeleton soldiers, Li Ming drank a bottle of [Purification Potion], and a ball of flame shot out, clearing a blank area.

He then transformed into a giant dragon and flew towards the southeast.

"Find a place to rest first, and come back to withdraw the money when you've recovered."

In the previous battle, he discovered that the skeletons in the southeast direction were replenished more slowly, so heading southeast would be more likely to get him out of this sea of ​​skeletons.

When it comes to resting, you naturally need to find a place without skeletons.

......

Deep within the Sea of ​​Skeletons, two liches watched the dragon soar into the sky and chuckled, "That little guy is quite self-disciplined; he knows to leave after playing for a while."

"He's lucky, otherwise he could have eaten some dragon meat today."

"Hehe~ Although we don't want to provoke the dragons, it doesn't mean we can let them bully us."

"Send someone to inform Rick! The little dragon ran away on its own, so his mission is considered automatically completed, and his points will be awarded as usual. However, he now needs to guard the Burial Grounds and prevent any more people or dragons from causing trouble there!"

"The king has asked us to occupy a territory in Aetheril as a base, in order to provide the kingdom with new blood. Naturally, we cannot rely on the teleportation channel to request support from the kingdom indefinitely."

"We must cultivate a large number of native undead to deal with the human counterattack, while concentrating our limited resources on high-end combat forces."

"If the burial ground is lost, let Rick bring me his head."
