This is not an MMO game copy

With a loud and sharp sound of electric current.

Xia Yan saw a light golden stream of light emerging in the space in front of him, and then turned into a rotating circle of light in the air at the end of the cliff.

Then, the center of the aperture seemed to become a door that was slowly opening, vaguely revealing the scenery of a strange world behind the door.

A realm of sound, officially called Sonora in Solaris, a different dimension independent of reality, opened its doors in front of Xia Yan out of thin air.

And where he couldn't see.

When Gao Hong's piercing electric current sound and golden halo appeared.

In a dream dimension called the Heart Realm, ripples appeared in the countless dream clusters projected from reality, which attracted the attention of two managers who looked identical but wore black and white clothes.

They immediately confirmed the location of the ripples in the dream cluster, and immediately matched it with the coordinates of Solaris in the real world. They found that the location of this abrupt ripple just coincided with the coordinates of the top of Panlong Cliff in Chengxiao Mountain in reality.

But the two managers did not deal with it immediately.

They instinctively became suspicious of each other.

After all, the dream dimension of the Heart Collection Domain has been uneasy recently. The black manager knows very well what he is secretly preparing, and he also knows that the white manager must understand what he is going to do. He began to suspect whether this was some kind of arrangement by the other party.

Coincidentally, the white manager also fell into a similar illusion as the dark forest, and immediately cast suspicion on his colleagues.

At the same time, in a vast space inside Jinzhou City, a dragon entrenched there suddenly turned its head and looked in the direction of Chengxiao Mountain, with surprise and confusion in its eyes.

Xia Yan had no idea what was happening.

But he was very clear that the portal in front of him was created by the system in his body using an unknown principle, and there really was a boss room of Zhou Ben in the game.

It will definitely attract the attention of certain beings in this Solaris world.

At least he didn't think the protagonist would be insensitive.

Perhaps it won’t be long before the dragon, which is modeled after the Jiaomu Jiao in the Twenty-Eight Constellations and has the power to control time and space, will quickly arrive.

Didn't hesitate for long.

After a moment's hesitation, Xia Yan gritted his teeth, stepped into the circle of light, and rushed into the portal.

next moment.

The world was spinning in front of my eyes.

The ice and snow on the top of Panlong Cliff and the endless sea of ​​clouds in the distance disappeared without a trace.

Instead, there is a strange world where water and sky overlap.

The sky was filled with dusk light, always at the transition between day and night, and the endless water surface seemed extremely silent, reflecting the dim sky like a mirror.

Here, time is stuck in a stage where dawn and dusk are mixed and the four seasons are out of order.

Half of the huge setting sun floated above the water level, while the other half sank into the bottomless abyss. There were also many broken remains of huge arched doors dumped on the water.

But the scenery before my eyes was bizarre.

But it is not the most eye-catching thing in this strange world where water and sky overlap.

Because just after Xia Yan entered this world.

A winding, slender figure appeared in the huge afterglow of the setting sun, exuding unparalleled sacredness and beauty, gracefully floating down in the dim sky filled with dusk light.

Xia Yan subconsciously held his breath.

Even though he had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't say a word when he saw the sacred figure appear in front of him.

The protagonist is a god-like individual who controls the power of time in the game plot. Even when on the verge of death, he still has the energy to plunge the entire Jinzhou into a time stagnation forever.

The one before him might not be the real one, but just a Zhou Ben boss, a 'non-plot fake' that might have appeared because of the system on his body. However, that kind of silent majesty was still like a mountain pressing down on Xia Yan's shoulders and his heart, forcing him to pull out the sharp blade that he instinctively hung behind him.

……

……

Deer antlers, camel heads, rabbit eyes, snake necks, clam bellies, fish scales, eagle claws, tiger paws, cow ears...

...If you extract the mentioned parts from the different animals mentioned above and then combine them all together, what will you get in the end?

Answer: Dragon.

It is not the Doragon that stirs up trouble, breathes fire and eats people, and is regarded as a symbol of evil in Western culture.

Rather, it is something sacred in Eastern culture that can symbolize almost everything in the world.

He can be a righteous god who blesses an area with good weather and good harvests, or he can be a demon who wreaks havoc with natural and man-made disasters.

It not only represents the imperial power of the feudal emperor, but is also a spiritual totem symbolizing civilization.

Even though strictly speaking, there are many types of dragons, the images, appearances and symbols of different dragon species are very different.

But there is one thing in common.

power.

Whether it is a righteous god protecting a region or a demon wreaking havoc on the land, the dragon is a symbol of a certain natural force.

The most familiar ones are riding on clouds, calling wind and rain, and driving thunder and lightning.

In addition, there are some special dragons that symbolize natural forces other than wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

For example: As one of the stars in the night sky, it is part of the operation of the laws of the universe.

Jiao Mu Jiao, one of the twenty-eight constellations, is the first of the seven eastern constellations of Azure Dragon, and is the source of the design of the year master "Jiao".

The Twenty-Eight Mansions were divided into twenty-eight constellations by ancient astronomers to observe the movements of the sun, moon and stars. They consisted of seven each of the Azure Dragon in the east, the Vermillion Bird in the south, the White Tiger in the west and the Black Tortoise in the north. They were believed to be the "four spirits of the sky, to correct the four directions", and they were used as the basis for compiling the astronomical calendar to determine time.

In addition, in ancient times, etiquette respected the east, so among the twenty-eight constellations, the Eastern Azure Dragon was the most respected, and Jiao was the first of the seven constellations of the Eastern Azure Dragon.

Therefore, from the perspective of game design alone, it is quite fitting that the main character of Jinzhou Sui is in charge of the power of time.

however.

Now Xia Yan just wanted to say hello to the damn designer's family.

Even before coming here, he had prepared himself mentally and anticipated what would happen.

But when he really saw the shadow of the dragon.

Xia Yan's mind went blank for a moment.

Is the fear reached to the extreme?

Or are you shocked to the point of losing consciousness?

There are.

Fear comes from life's awe of the behemoth.

The shock comes from a feeling similar to Ye Gong's love for dragons.

The 'horn' is a very typical image of an oriental dragon, and it is estimated to be at least thirty or forty meters long. Just one finger on the dragon's claw is as big as an adult.

Even though its 'horn' was an Eastern dragon and its body was as slender as a snake, its size still surpassed every remnant Xia Yan had seen in Chengxiao Mountain over the past half month.

The fear brought by this behemoth can only be fully experienced when you face it face to face.

Not to mention, this is a dragon!

Xia Yan could now fully understand the feeling of Shen Zhuliang, a Chu man and the magistrate of Ye County, when he suddenly saw a real dragon in the story of Ye Gong who loved dragons.

But before he could fully recover from his trance.

The dragon swam down and landed in the air more than one meter above the water surface. It let out a deep and long dragon roar in the direction where Xia Yan was.

Image: "Jiaolong", Location: "Images/1735661507-100424595-112508513.jpg"

The sound was like the mooing of an ox, but as loud as thunder. Under His majesty, waves suddenly appeared on the surface of the water. The sound of the dragon's roar even produced visible air waves, which stirred up a howling gale around Him.

This dragon roar also completely woke Xia Yan from his trance.

Without any hesitation, he immediately summoned his flying sword, jumped up, and then immediately flew with all his strength, rushing towards the dim sky.

The next moment after he flew into the sky with his sword, a dragon circled and swooped down on him. Its tail was then stained with a light golden light and swept out with the force of thunder.

boom--!

A huge wave rose on the water surface, and the air waves swept out by the dragon's tail turned into a storm and dispersed.

"Humph."

Xia Yan groaned and quickly injected his magic power into the flying sword under his feet. He used all his strength to use the sword-controlling technique to stabilize his body that was shaking in the storm. He felt scalp-wrenching because of the sweeping blow he had just dodged.

The dragon's tail was immersed in a penetrating pale golden light, which was obviously energy with diffraction properties, or diffraction energy with high concentration.

It was not a simple sweep at all, but a large area of ​​hardened space, acting as an air-to-ground bombardment launched by kinetic weapons.

Without the limitations of game values, Xia Yan had no doubt that if he had not completely avoided the sweeping blow, he would have been on the verge of death if it had touched him, and would have been shattered to pieces if it had touched him.

However, the dragon did not let him go. After Xia Yan flew up to avoid the tail sweep, the dragon's slender body immediately soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it flew from the air more than one meter above the water surface to the air in the distance where Xia Yan was now at a higher position, and a faint golden light appeared on its body.

Then, as the dragon swam freely in the sky, the faint golden light condensed into flying stars, fell off the dragon's body, and then turned into golden meteors. As if they had life, they dragged out star-like tail flames and shot towards Xia Yan.

hide.

Xia Yan's eyelids twitched violently, and he swung his sword in the air, dodging the endless stream of golden meteors.

"Sui Zhu Jiao, please wait a moment, can you hear me?!"

While dodging in a panic, he found an opportunity to open his voice and shout at the dragon flying in the sky.

But the dragon didn't respond at all.

"grass"

Seeing this scene, even though he had been mentally prepared, Xia Yan still couldn't help but swear when he confirmed that the dragon in front of him was just as he had guessed based on the 'copy name' marked by the system. It was not the real 'character' of the year master, but a boss created by the system in some unknown way in Zhou Ben's [War Song Reprise: Fated Struggle], an expected 'non-plot fake'.

The good news is that this 'non-plot fake', as the boss of this week, should not have the power of the main character in the plot battle. This means that this dragon lacks many skill modules and is unlikely to be able to perform full-screen time suspension or tamper with the spatial structure of the entire alien space like the original.

The bad news is that this dragon seems to have no self or consciousness, which means that it is just a beast driven by instinct, a dragon without any reason at all, and therefore will not show any mercy to Xia Yan.

Even though it was just a fake in appearance, the power of the Jiaolong was far superior to that of the Giant Wave-class remnant. In comparison, the previous Jishu Heart-Protecting Scale was at most just a piece of [dragon scale] on the Jiaolong's body.

Of course, this also means that the "tsunami-level" strength of this week's boss is definitely not the tsunami-level in the plot.

(PS: Happy New Year (*^▽^*)——

——Then, let me say that after taking into account the opinions of everyone, I have integrated the final content of this volume and plan to release at least 4k+ words per chapter on the first day of the new year. Now is the first update. After that, I will set a time to upload the next chapter. After noon, I will upload the last two chapters one by one. Starting from 10,000 words on the first day of the new year, the update is enough. This sincerity is enough, right?ヾ(??▽?)ノ）

First instance: 20. Dances with Dragons (4k+/2nd update)

Zhou Ben's [Tsunami Level] is completely different from the tsunami level in the plot.

The former serves the gameplay, and the latter serves the plot.

And now this dragon is obviously the former.

This is undoubtedly good news.

But while feeling relieved, Xia Yan was also nervous - after all, he was not a playable character in the game.

Although he also had a health bar and a blue bar, over the past half month, Xia Yan had discovered that the two bars, one green and one blue, that he could see were mostly used to reflect his current physical condition.

The green bar represents a comprehensive picture of his health, physical fitness, energy, etc.

The blue bar shows his current mana limit and percentage.

There is not even a specific numerical standard for these two poles.

Therefore, without a body that truly conforms to a data template, even if it is just a 'non-plot fake' Zhou Ben boss [Tsunami-level], the result of confronting it head-on with his 'weak' body will inevitably be to be shattered to pieces.

So, how to win?

While flying in the air with his sword, dodging the incoming golden flying stars, Xia Yan stared closely at the dragon in the sky in the distance. After his eyes flashed for a moment, he suddenly sped up and chased after it.

Then, the green sword light turned into a long rainbow, passing through the gaps between the continuously falling golden flying stars, and biting the tail of the dragon swimming freely in the sky.

The dragon then let out a roar.

Then it coiled its body and opened its mouth towards the green rainbow that was chasing it. A faint golden light appeared in its mouth.

The next second, a torrent of pale golden light gushed out from the dragon's mouth and swept towards Xia Yan.

Seeing this, Xia Yan's scalp suddenly went numb. He rolled to the side and used his sword to avoid the dragon's breath. His heart was in his throat.

But he still seized the opportunity. When the dragon's breath missed, like a sharp blade cutting through the dark sky, he jumped off the flying sword while flipping sideways and grabbed the hilt of the flying sword with his backhand.
