Chapter 425: Bros for Life
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The yellow-furred violent bear retreated and quickly disappeared out of sight.
Li Yi has seen many ruthless brutes in his life but it was his first to witness one as ruthless as Defiant Mountain Gun.
The yellow-furred violent bear was transformed by Li Yi. He only made a move because Gray Wolf was going overboard with arrogance. He did not think it would come to this tragic end...
Gray Wolf's appearance was much like Scumbag Wang's, grotesque to say the least. Anyone could not bear to make eye contact with such a person a second more. Such aesthetic, yet Defiant Mountain Gun dared to...
Ding ding ding!
Li Yi had just retreated from battle when he saw a System Announcement in red spamming the screen.
[As Invincible Continent player, Defiant Mountain Gun has violated the gaming rules, his account will be permanently banned. Defiant Mountain Gun has been listed as Unwelcome and will be rejected from logging into the server.]
[As Invincible Continent player, Defiant Mountain Gun has violated the gaming rules, his account will be permanently banned. Defiant Mountain Gun has been listed as Unwelcome and will be rejected from logging onto the server.]
...
The red System Announcement flickered in the screen several times as Defiant Mountain Gun lifted his head with his jaw dropped. He was completely dumbfounded.
Account permanently banned, rejected from logging onto the server... This meant that Defiant Mountain Gun would never see the light of day in Pantheon. This punishment was harsh...
Scumbag Wang ran over. Seeing Gray Wolf struggling to get up in trembling knees, he wielded his kitchen knife to end his life.
Scumbag Wang was surprised, "Bro, what happened?"
Defiant Mountain Gun widened his mouth and with a face full of snot and tears, he answered, "Brother, I think I'm a goner.
"Bros for a day means we're bros for life. Brother, I'll be heading off first!"
Defiant Mountain Gun tossed out every item on him, trading them all to Scumbag Wang. It was then, a red light struck from the sky, slamming hard on Defiant Mountain Gun.
Bam!
After the red light passed, Defiant Mountain Gun was no more. He was completely wiped out by the System.
"Brother, brother, Brother Mountain Gun? Mountain Gun, where the hell you went?" Screamed Scumbag Wang in a panic. Scumbag Wang has not come to terms what has happened as he gazed at the dispersing red light.
During then, Scumbag Wang's underlings came running over. They themselves were not aware of what has happened. All they saw was Scumbag Wang standing and shouting there while on the ground, lay Gray Wolf with his pants down. He died naked...
The group of underlings looked at one another and remained silent.
Scumbag Wang smacked his head, "Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t. Mountain Gun's been f*cked by the System. He's not in the Friends Pane."
"Did Mountain Gun... that guy..."
Everyone's gaze was fixated on Gray Wolf. It was ages before they all screamed.
"Oh Mountain Gun— No Mountain Gun—"
...
Li Yi, by then had steered Black Dragon Princess to a distance but he could indistinctly hear Huashan Sect calling out to Mountain Gun. He could not help but quiver at the thought.
Li Yi has never conceded to anyone in Pantheon whether in his past life or present but he now conceded to Defiant Mountain Gun...
Ruthless. Simply ruthless. He first subdued Bloody Rose and now has taken care of Gray Wolf. These two were considered pain-in-the-ass characters and ranked top ten in the Hundred Most Hated Players in Pantheon.
Fortunately, this crazy brute has been vaporized by the System. Who knew who would be next to experience the same fate?
Defiant Mountain Gun may be long gone but Huashan Set rose to fame overnight. Although there was no video evidence of this incident, the truth still spread like wildfire all over Pantheon in mere hours.
Rumor has it that Southern Continent's legendary Summoner Alex heard of this news and returned to his homeland without second thoughts. From then on, no one dared to pick up a fight with Scumbag Wang.
Gray Wolf lost three levels to return to his continent. It was said that after this incident, the name Mountain Gun cast a shadow over him. No matter the person, as long as the name Mountain Gun was mentioned before him, he would have an emotional breakdown...
The journey took one day and one night from Shattered Frost City to Black Rock Mountain but because Li Yi bumped into a few accidents on the way, he spent a day and a half to reach the destination.
The moment Black Dragon Princess reached Black Rock Mountain, it stood around like a statue.
Li Yi summoned Lightning Leopard and changed to Murloc Crossbow to hunt whelps around Black Dragon Princess.
About half an hour later, at the sound of a ding, Li Yi looted a ring from a whelp.
A Level 50 white quality regular-looking ring in the game.
Li Yi gave the ring to Black Dragon Princess for a look.
"It's this ring. This is my Ancestral Dragon Ring..." Black Dragon Princess clenched tight on the white-colored dragon ring with an overjoyed look on its face. If Li Yi did not know that she was actually a Black Dragon, he would have been fooled with that look.
Suddenly, Black Dragon Princess' face sunk, "Oh no, my Ancestral Dragon Ring has been soaked in dragon's blood. The power within has been cursed..."
Li Yi followed up with a question, "What should we do then?"
"That's only one way to break the dragon blood's curse and that is to head North to find the Glacial Crystal Essence. With that, the curse can be broken."
Ding!
[Do you accept Glacial Crystal Essence search quest?]
Li Yi shook his head and rejected.
"My lord, do you not wish to help me?" Black Dragon Princess was disappointed.
"It's extremely cold in the Northern Continent. Regular flying mounts are unable to fly there. Moreover, I do not have any flying mounts that could withstand the cold. I wouldn't be able to help you even if I wanted to."
"This..." Black Dragon Princess fell deep into its thought with its eyes closed.
There was a long pause before Black Dragon Princess opened its eyes and looked at Li Yi, "If my lord is willing to help me, I am willing to sacrifice part of my sorcery and transform into a dragon using an inherited Shapeshifting Spell to transport you there."
Li Yi pretended to be surprised, "Dragon-shifting Spell?"
Black Dragon Princess forcefully nodded.
"Alright, I don't have any concerns if you are able to shapeshift into a dragon to fly," Li Yi blissfully agreed but within, he was elated.
"My lord, please stand back. I will be casting the spell to shapeshift into a dragon."
Black Dragon Princess walked ahead a few steps and put on an act of chanting some incantations before transforming to its original body.
"My lord, please come up. You can ride on my head."
The giant Black Dragon as tall as a hundred meters spoke human language as it lowered its noble head.
Li Yi leaped and climbed up Black Dragon Princess' head.
"Roar—"
Black Dragon Princess let out a long howl before flapping its wings and flying off.
Black Dragon Princess' head was different from a normal Black Dragon's. There was cockscomb-shape meat slab on its head. It added to its beauty and was also a groove where players could sit in it. It was more comfortable than a couch.
It really lived up to the name of being one of the best flying mounts.
Li Yi sat on top of the cockscomb meat slab with both hands grabbing onto its tender flesh. He was having the time of his life. Although King of Pantheon has been in session for a year and a half, no players have ever ridden on a dragon mount. He has managed to achieve this for now.
"Great Wizard Katrana, your Dragon-shifting Spell is awesome."
"Thank you, my lord, for your compliments. Please do not grab on me so tightly, it's ticklish..."
Black Dragon Princess soared the skies and traveled at high velocity, surpassing a thousand miles in a heartbeat. What should have taken several days was achieved in a few hours. In a brief moment, she has brought Li Yi to the border of Invincible Continent.
"Black Dragon Princess, it's the Black Dragon Princess!" Players keeping watch at the borders were shouting.
Li Yi admired the surrounding views leisurely but Black Dragon Princess' attempted to engage in conversation with him had him puzzled once again.
The Black Dragon Princess he owned in the past life did not look any different from this dragon but strangely, that Black Dragon Princess was in the same situation as Holy Light Warhorse, which was without any self-awareness. Perhaps at an even worse state than when he first got Mermaid Princess.
When flying, Li Yi had to order it to stop and when it attacked, it was slow to receive commands and had an 80% fail rate.
Could a mount looted from a corpse be at such low quality?
Li Yi stroked his chin with his thoughts wandering afar...
With cold chills hitting his face, Black Dragon Princess had flown to a silvery white world.
With snow fluttering about and the ground covered in frost, it was as though a white sheet covered the world.
"My lord, we have reached the Northern Continent. Please sit tight."
The cockscomb meat slab tightened, sheltering Li Yi within. It was a cozy feeling.
The Northern Continent was a neutral map. There was no players nor cities on it and was governed by NPCs of different races. For players to arrive at the Northern Continent, the priority was to own a flying mount that could withstand the extreme weather.
In the snowy white world, the shape of a tall mountain started to reveal itself. Black Dragon Princess struggled to ascend and after ten minutes, they finally reached the soil of the Northern Continent.
System Notification: [You're the fifth player to enter the Northern Continent. This event has been recorded in the Pantheon Hall of Fame...]
The fifth?
Li Yi was stunned.
"My lord, I'm about to descend."
Black Dragon Princess hung its wing to glide down as it slowly landed.
In front of them was an ice mountain and right at the bottom was an ice cave. The Glacial Crystal Essence mentioned by Black Dragon Princess was in this ice cave.
Black Dragon Princess transformed back to human form and pointed at the ice cave, "My lord, the Glacial Crystal Essence's in there."
Li Yi frowned.
This ice cave was called Frosty Wolf Cave and was swamped with all-white Frosty Wolves. They were at least Level 100 and in the depths of this cave was a Level 120 Frosty Wolf King. It moved at lightning speed and was incredibly hard to defeat.
"My lord, let's enter."
Black Dragon Princess stood in front of the cave and yelled out to Li Yi.
"Alright!"
Li Yi switched back to his good equipment and called Violent Bear King out to path the way. He held onto his orange bow and took the back.
"Awoo—"
Two Elite Frosty Wolves in white ran out of the cave and pounced at Black Dragon Princess.
"Blizzard!" Black Dragon Princess' feet were above ground as it unleashed a spell.
"Meteor Arrow!"
Tch tch tch—
Li Yi too launched an attack.
