Hei Shu was silent for a moment, then asked suspiciously, “You want to buy information from me?”
Lu Fan nodded and said, “You could say that.”
In fact, ever since learning that the Flying Dragon Cemetery Secret Realm had been discovered by Secret Realm Hunters, Lu Fan came up with this idea. His Super Treasure Map System often gave him Treasure Maps, but many of the coordinates were places he had never even heard of.
The Secret Realm Hunters Guild seemed like an intelligence network, with members who often traversed uncharted Forbidden Areas. They should know much more about such strange places, far more than the ordinary people.
If he could establish a good relationship with the Secret Realm Hunters Guild, it would be much easier to find the locations shown on the Treasure Maps in the future.
However, the Secret Realm Hunters Guild was not an easy organisation to approach, as those who could purchase information about Secret Realms and Dungeon Instances were usually powerful factions.
For an ordinary student like Lu Fan, it was virtually impossible for him to directly contact the Secret Realm Hunters Guild and purchase information from them.
Now that he had finally met a Secret Realm Hunter, Lu Fan certainly could not miss this opportunity. If he could establish a business relationship with this Secret Realm Hunter and obtain information about the locations shown on his Treasure Maps, Lu Fan would have many more Treasure Maps he could claim in the future.
After learning of Lu Fan’s intentions, Hei Shu thought for a moment and asked, “The information you want to buy from me isn’t specifically about Secret Realms or Dungeon Instances, just purely area information, right?”
Lu Fan nodded and said, “Yes, I just want to know where some of these places are located. When you Secret Realm Hunters go searching for Secret Realms and Dungeon Instances, you’ve been to so many places. If you know of the place I’m looking for, tell me the location and I will pay you for it. I think this shouldn’t go against the rules for Secret Realm Hunters, right?”
Hei Shu said, “Indeed, it’s not. If you want first-hand information about Secret Realms or Dungeon Instances, I definitely would have refused. Because after we discover Secret Realms and Dungeon Instances, we’re strictly forbidden from selling them privately. If discovered of this transgression, we’d be expelled from the Guild. But, if you just want some general locations and details of certain places, I can take on your request. In fact, many people in our Guild do this as a side job to earn some extra cash.”
Hearing that Secret Realm Hunters really did have this as a side business, Lu Fan was delighted and asked, “So, you can take on what I’m requesting?”
“No problem,” Hei Shu nodded and smiled, “If the price is right, I have no reason to refuse. After all, in our line of work, no one turns down money. Generally speaking, we sell area information for at least 300,000 per report. But since you mentioned wanting to befriend me earlier, I’ll give you a friend’s price, 70% off.”
“So, for any information about a particular area you want to know, you can tell me. I’ll charge you 100,000 for each one I uncover. How does that sound?”
Lu Fan had no objections, because Qin Qiu had said that buying any information from the black market would not be lower than 300,000. Thus, Hei Shu was indeed giving him a friendly price.
“Alright, it’s a deal!” Lu Fan stretched out his hand and smiled, “Then I’ll write down a list of places I want to know of later. If you have any news, let me know. After I confirm it’s correct, I’ll transfer you the money.”
“En. Let’s exchange contact information after you come out of the Secret Realm.” Hei Shu shook hands with Lu Fan, then sighed, “Kid, you have amazing potential. I’ve never seen anyone who could one-shot a Level 60 Elite Monster at Level 25. I’m giving you such a low price purely because, as you said, to make friends. Perhaps in the future, you’ll become my best customer? Still, you best not tell others about how much I’m charging you. Otherwise I’d be breaking our industry’s pricing rules and some of my Brothers will not let me off so easily.”
“Haha, I understand.” Lu Fan smiled and withdrew his hand, “Then, let’s exchange contact information after I come out of the Secret Realm.”
“Jian Ying, let’s go. Let’s clear the Dungeon Instance as quickly as possible.”
Lu Fan led the way to the Secret Realm entrance, while Jian Ying, who was always quiet, silently followed behind him.
After both of them entered the Secret Realm, they felt a brief pulling sensation before being quickly teleported into the Secret Realm.
At this moment, Lu Fan and Jian Ying seemed to be standing in front of an enormous ancient tree.
This ancient tree was like a mountain, with lush branches and leaves at the top, making it impossible to see what was inside.
In front of Lu Fan and Jian Ying was a thick vine. This vine was like a wide road, extending from the ground and winding upwards in front of them, coiling around the ancient tree all the way up into its canopy with no visible end.
Rather than calling it a vine, it was more like a winding mountain road leading to the top of a high ‘mountain’.
On Lu Fan and Jian Ying’s Mission Panel, the new Mission Description had appeared.
| Opportune Secret Realm – Flying Dragon Cemetery (Nightmare)
Minimum Required Participants: 2 people Recommended Level: 55 Secret Realm Clear Condition: Reach the top of the Flying Dragon Divine Tree and release the souls of two Flying Dragon Kings. Flying Dragon King Soul release progress: 0/2
Introduction: Eight hundred years ago, this was not the Flying Dragon Cemetery, but the Flying Dragon Nest. Countless Flying Dragons lived here. They were all immensely powerful. They were all nesting here, and collectively guarding the Flying Dragon Divine Tree that granted them vitality. However, one day, the Devouring Dragon King – Maw of the Abyss, passed by and coveted the amazing divine power of the Flying Dragon Divine Tree. It descended upon this place, unleashing a massacre. Ultimately, all the Flying Dragons perished, even the two Flying Dragon Kings were torn apart. The Maw of the Abyss absorbed the Life Essence of all the Flying Dragons, and their Divine Tree was also met with misfortune. Its Divine Power was drained, turning it into an ordinary giant tree. When the Maw of the Abyss left, only the dismembered limbs of countless Flying Dragons remained, and the so-called Flying Dragon Nest became the Flying Dragon Cemetery. Eight hundred years have passed, and the Flying Dragon Divine Tree seems to have regained its vitality, though its Divine Power was still gone. At the same time, some have seen Flying Dragons reappearing on the Flying Dragon Divine Tree. However, when one truly looks at them, they would find that these could no longer be called Flying Dragons… they were merely the manifestation of the resentment of those Flying Dragons that died years ago… |
This Mission Description surprised Lu Fan. It turned out that the Flying Dragon Cemetery was not only related to Flying Dragons but also involved another true Giant Dragon, the Devouring Dragon King – Maw of the Abyss.
Judging by the name, this Dragon was also a Dragon King, probably on the same level as Xiao Ye and Xiao Cui.
One could imagine how terrifying this Giant Dragon would be if it reached adulthood.
[No wonder even the powerful Flying Dragons couldn’t stop it and were wiped out. Flying Dragons are a type of Demi-Dragon. They are not as strong as true Giant Dragons but they are much stronger than Chen Tianzhi’s Earth Dragon. Still, even if the Monsters here are only Level 55, they cannot be measured by their Level alone. If that’s the case, I can’t underestimate this Secret Realm.]
He immediately summoned Xiao Cui and Xiao Ye. He had Xiao Cui apply all her Buffs. He also transformed his right arm into a Dragon claw.
After preparing, Lu Fan looked at Jian Ying and warned, “This Secret Realm is related to Flying Dragons, so it might be quite challenging to clear it. Use all four of your swords. Don’t worry about your Stamina; with Xiao Cui’s Spring of Life, our Stamina Recovery Speed will keep up to pace.”
Jian Ying nodded, and swords appeared around her one by one.
Besides the Army Breaker, Blood Breaker, and Ocean Freezing Swords, there were also two short swords burning with dark red flames.
These two short swords were Jian Ying’s hidden trump card – the Hellfire Twin Scythes.
This set of short swords, combined into one equipment, provided Jian Ying with enormous Mana Attribute. At the same time, using the Hellfire Twin Scythes, Jian Ying could also launch some Dark Element and Fire Element Magic Attack Skills.
Because Lu Fan had won against Chen Tianzhi last time and won the bet, Jian Ying had honoured the bet and revealed all her Profession Characteristics to Lu Fan. Thus, Lu Fan now knew everything about Jian Ying.
So far, Jian Ying had a total of four swords, each with different characteristics and exclusive Skills.
Moreover, she could actually use multiple weapons simultaneously, and different weapons could be combined to activate different Skills.
For example, when using the Army Breaker alone, Jian Ying could use the Skill Mountain Quake.
But when using the Army Breaker and Hellfire Twin Scythes together, the Skill became Hellfire Burst, which was currently Jian Ying’s most powerful Skill.
Similarly, as Jian Ying’s number of weapons increase in the future, her number of Skills would also increase, and the combinations would grow exponentially.
Therefore, the Sword Tamer Profession truly had enormous potential. The only drawback of this Profession was that controlling multiple weapons simultaneously consumed a terrifying amount of Stamina.
However, this was compensated for by Xiao Cui’s Spring of Life.
Seeing that Jian Ying was also ready to clear the Secret Realm, Lu Fan had Xiao Ye, who had transformed into her Battle Form, lead the way. They set foot on the winding vine to search for the Flying Dragon Kings’ souls.
After setting out, Lu Fan secretly checked his Peak Grade Treasure Map and found that the coordinates were deep within the Flying Dragon Cemetery.
This meant that claiming the Treasure Map would not be easy; they might have to Clear the Secret Realm for a while before reaching the Treasure Map’s coordinates.
Still, this did not matter to him. Lu Fan’s purpose in coming here was not solely to claim the Treasure Map. He mainly hoped to Level Up Xiao Cui and Xiao Ye.
A Level 55 Nightmare Secret Realm would definitely allow the two Baby Dragons to Level Up, and they might even learn new Skills.
The two people and two Dragons walked for a distance on the vine and soon encountered the first wave of Monsters.
The branches and leaves of the Flying Dragon Divine Tree were broken, and five Flying Dragons with mutilated bodies fell from above, hovering in mid-air and emitting roars that sounded like broken bellows.
Lu Fan immediately cast Appraisal Eye on them to check on their information.
