Chapter 186: Chapter 186, Setting Foot in Xileruo World_1
Is a god’s physique truly this formidable? Do I want to go again? To conquer the world, then I must start by conquering a god.
Working overtime every single day... this boss is simply inhuman...
「The next morning.」
Jiang Qiu, Alice, and five others rendezvoused with Jiang Chen. The seven-person team then set out for the Giant Dragon World. Angelina had also suppressed all her Skills, appearing just like an ordinary Ritualist.
To reach the Giant Dragon World, they first had to pass through the Xileruo World, a realm superior to the Human World. The group used the main Teleportation Array to travel there. Upon entering the Xileruo World, they materialized just outside the main city area.
This world was entirely different from the Human World. It boasted majestic, towering buildings, God’s Temples floating in the sky, and Giant Dragons soaring through the heavens. The entire world was devoid of any network information. Only the Human World possessed such a network, which was its greatest advantage. This was Jiang Chen’s first visit to the Xileruo World.
Angelina exclaimed excitedly, "This world is so beautiful! It’s completely different from our world."
Alice nodded. "Yes, this world is teeming with experts. From birth, its inhabitants are stronger than humans. Whether in Strength or Magic, they surpass us."
"Not to mention, the Xileruo World is also home to the Divine race, who are even more formidable."
"Many nobles from the Dragon Zone Union have relocated to the Xileruo World to enjoy its splendor and prosperity."
The seven left the teleportation point and proceeded towards the main city area. The main city area bustled with shops selling various equipment, materials, and Covenant Beasts. The group of seven passed by a pet shop.
Jiang Chen glanced at it. "Let’s go in and take a look."
Alice chuckled. "The pets inside are outrageously expensive. Some are companions for nobles, others are Covenant Beasts, and they even have Dragon Race Covenant Beasts."
Angelina chimed in, "In that case, wouldn’t it be a good idea to buy a few Covenant Beasts?"
"There are many types of dragons, broadly divided into two categories: Earth Dragons and Flying Dragons. Most are Earth Dragons. Even among the flying Giant Dragons, there are further distinctions."
"Not all Giant Dragons can use Magic. Some, those without magical abilities, have cheaper Dragon Eggs, but they possess little combat power. Consequently, many people venture into the Giant Dragon World to find eggs laid by powerful Giant Dragons."
"However, entering the Giant Dragon World is extremely dangerous. This is especially true because of the shape-shifting Giant Dragons, immensely powerful beings capable of annihilating anyone in an instant."
Jiang Chen asked, "Shape-shifting Giant Dragons?"
Alice nodded. "Yes. Although these dragons aren’t gods, their power is equivalent to that of gods. They can use Instant Magic. Anyone who encounters such terrifying beings will inevitably die."
"Therefore, Dragon Eggs from powerful dragons are exceptionally precious—often something one might stumble upon but cannot actively seek. Nevertheless, many people venture into the Giant Dragon World searching for these eggs because of their immense value."
Jiang Chen asked, "Then what about the Heart of the Red Dragon?"
"The Heart of the Red Dragon is a type of stone found in the Giant Dragon World. Giant Dragons require these stones to hatch their Dragon Eggs. Dragon Crystals, on the other hand, are their food and are also crucial for a dragon’s growth."
The seven entered the shop.
A salesperson, seeing them enter, greeted them with a smile. "Welcome! Please, feel free to look around."
Jiang Chen surveyed the surroundings. The shelves were lined with numerous Dragon Eggs: black, white, yellow—indeed, every color imaginable, including a rainbow-colored one.
That rainbow-colored Dragon Egg must be exceptional, Jiang Chen thought, his gaze fixed on it.
Jiang Chen inquired, "How much is that Dragon Egg?"
"That one is priced at 500,000,000. However, since a Hero such as yourself is interested, we can offer you a discount."
"What kind of Dragon Egg is it?"
"This is the egg of a Purple Gold Dragon. The Purple Gold Dragon is one of the most powerful dragons in the world, capable of spewing purple smoke to attack its enemies. It’s an excellent choice for a Hero like you."
Jiang Chen looked at Alice and remarked, "This one seems pretty good."
Alice smiled. "Jiang Chen, you don’t quite understand the Purple Gold Dragon. Its smoke doesn’t have much Offensive Power, but it’s very fast. It’s more of an escape-type dragon."
She’s telling me this is the best dragon? Jiang Chen thought, looking at the saleswoman. You really can’t trust a word salespeople say.
The saleswoman smiled. "If you can’t beat them, you can run away. Isn’t that a great feature?"
She actually has a point, damn it, Jiang Chen conceded internally.
Alice pointed to an earthy-yellow Dragon Egg. "This is a Jewel Dragon. Its body is exceptionally hard, making it difficult to injure with common attacks. Close-combat warriors often choose this type. It’s a kind of Earth Dragon. Jewel Dragons can’t fly, and they’re also a bit slow."
"This is a Jade Dragon, also a type of Earth Dragon. Its entire body is like jade, a vibrant blue-green. It’s fast, but its Offensive Power is only average."
"This is a Crystal Dragon. It’s slow but has good Offensive Power and can use Crystal Skills. During battle, its entire body crystallizes, giving it an anti-Magic effect."
"This is an Amber Dragon. It’s capable of using Magic and also belongs to the Earth Dragon category."
Jiang Chen chuckled. "Alice, I didn’t realize you knew so much about dragons."
Xueli chimed in, "Of course! We’ve been here before and actually planned to buy a dragon as a Covenant Beast. However, once we learned more about them, we abandoned that idea."
"These particular dragons aren’t suitable for us. We need the kind of Giant Dragons that soar through the sky, not ground-crawling creatures."
"To prevent you from making a mistake, you should listen to Alice. She’s very knowledgeable about dragons."
Alice looked up at a Dragon Egg on a higher shelf. "This is a Wind Dragon’s egg. It can use Wind Attribute Magic and is quite fast. Once it matures, it can create tornadoes. It’s a type of Flying Dragon, but its price is 2,000,000,000. We definitely can’t afford that."
Two billion? Jiang Chen thought. That’s ridiculously expensive.
Jiang Chen asked, "Do you sell the Heart of the Red Dragon here?"
"Hero, we do not sell Red Dragon’s Heart Crystals here."
"If you don’t sell them, then how are these Giant Dragon eggs hatched?"
"Only powerful dragons require the Red Dragon’s Heart Crystal. Common dragons don’t. They just need to be taken to the Covenant Temple, where a Ritualist can recite the hatching incantation."
It works like that? Jiang Chen wondered. Does that mean the Golden Dragon doesn’t need a Red Dragon’s Heart Crystal either?
Alice explained, "Jiang Chen, when ordinary dragons hatch, the outcome can vary. The Red Dragon’s Heart Crystal acts as a safeguard. It ensures the dragon is stronger at birth, essentially enhancing its Constitution and enabling its Realization of Magic."
"Some dragons don’t need the Red Dragon’s Heart Crystal. However, dragons hatched without one sometimes fail to awaken their magical abilities."
"If you have a powerful Dragon Egg, it’s best to use a Red Dragon’s Heart Crystal. This significantly impacts the dragon’s future and its potential for growth."
Jiang Chen understood. Having a Red Dragon’s Heart Crystal is like a child having a mother’s care. It goes without saying then—I definitely need a Red Dragon’s Heart Crystal for the Golden Dragon to hatch. What if it hatches without wings? That would be a complete disaster!
Jiang Chen then asked, "So, what kind of dragon is the strongest?"
Alice replied, "Dragon Attributes are generally divided into several types. The common five are Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Additionally, there are Wind and Thunder and Lightning Attributes, which are considered special elemental powers."
"Beyond these seven, there are other Attributes such as Destruction, Life, Darkness, Light, and Petrify. Giant Dragons possessing these Attributes are the truly most powerful beings."
"An adolescent Giant Dragon of Destruction once appeared in a Nordic Secret Realm. Of course, it eventually vanished. It’s unknown if anyone managed to obtain its Dragon Egg."
Jiang Chen chuckled inwardly. So that Golden Dragon really does have an extraordinary background! A Destruction-Attribute dragon, no less! No wonder it was so unbelievably powerful...
