"Pa! Pa! Pa!"
The Two-Headed Crow King effortlessly fanned his fan towards me, without even uttering an incantation. Black lightning bolts rained down from the sky, forming an endless web that covered me entirely. There was no escape.
I was about to acquire the pet egg, but the black lightning struck me, and I fell to the ground, lifeless.
Unbelievable! A one-hit kill! I was fully prepared, but this tiny, seemingly inconsequential spell from the Two-Headed Crow King managed to take down a knight with extreme defense and HP like me. This is truly frustrating.
"Ring! Stone City! The resurrection ring has revived you. Your state is fully restored, and you are invulnerable for three seconds."
I've been waiting for this – resurrection.
As I was resurrected, a golden light enveloped me. The Two-Headed Crow King's lightning bolts "crackled" and struck the golden light, but it was as if the rain was falling on an umbrella – no effect at all.
In the first second, I rushed forward with one step and grabbed the pet egg.
In the second second, I used the "Runaway" skill.
In the third second, I activated the Return Scroll.
A burst of light flashed.
In the fourth second, just as the invincible golden light disappeared, I appeared in the square of the Tianlong City.
"Haha…"
"Hahahaha…"
"Hahahahahaha…"
Looking at the pet egg in my hand, I laughed heartily in the middle of the crowd on the spacious square under the bright sunlight.
"It's just a pet egg. Be careful not to laugh your head off." Another player's tone was filled with sourness.
"Ah, elder brother, you've got a pet. Envy consumes me. May I take a look?" A petite young girl with lustrous black eyes full of tenderness and deep envy asked.
"Alas, someone has gotten a pet, but why haven't I?" A deeply dejected player murmured to himself.
"Brother, what pet? If it's a high-end pet, name your price, and I'll not haggle." A player who resembled a wealthy scion walked over urgently.
"Trash pet, mediocre."
Without wasting any time, I checked the pet and quickly stored it in my backpack, pushed past the swarming players, and ran out.
"Ding-dong, all players, please note, all players, please note. The Two-Headed Crow King, one of the eight guardians of the demon under the Dark Mage, has lost the pet egg of the divine beast 'Dark Purple Sky Dragon,' and is now leading his minions towards the Tianlong City to retrieve it. All players near the Tianlong City are urged to return to the city or log out immediately to avoid being killed by the Two-Headed Crow King. The Tianlong City has entered a level-two defense state, and all teleportation points in major cities are closed."
This shocking news exploded in "The King of Glory" and the system's three consecutive announcements were like towering waves surging forth, immediately shocking the players.
"Quickly return to the city, or you'll be killed by the super boss and suffer a significant level drop." A rational player warned.
"Sob sob sob, I forgot to bring the return scroll. Can someone give me one?" A careless player asked.
"If you don't have a return scroll, log out immediately."
"Not me, I want to see the excitement."
"Husband, my shoes, hurry and help me find them." A couple engaged in a wilderness battle.
"Damn it! Let's group up, kill the boss, and loot equipment!" A passionate player's blood boiled.
"Why? I want to go to the Tianlong City. I want to see the super boss. Why close the teleportation between cities?" A player in another city pounded his chest in frustration.
For a time, the Tianlong City became the focus, and the players in "The King of Glory" were stirred up. The system's announcement to warn the players was significant.
The announcement from the system about the pet egg of the divine beast "Dark Purple Sky Dragon", the pet of the Dark Wizard Two-Headed Crow King, left me a bit bewildered.
Could it be true? Could it be true!
I immediately sought out a less crowded place, opened my backpack, and took out the pet egg I had just obtained.
The pet egg of the divine beast "Dark Purple Sky Dragon": a divine-level pet, one of the six divine beasts under the control of the Demon of the Heavens, which could have hatched in a year's time. However, due to absorbing too much spiritual power from the Elf tribe, it fell into a deep sleep. It needs thirty years to hatch, or it can be catalyzed to absorb spiritual power by using a dark treasure, which will enable it to hatch ahead of schedule.
The pet egg in my hand was indeed the pet egg of the divine beast "Dark Purple Sky Dragon"!
I had a divine beast pet! I almost shouted with excitement. But looking at its attributes, it couldn't be hatched and could only be looked at but not used. I was disappointed; I already had too many such things.
The Two-Headed Crow King of the Dark Wizard had come for this pet egg. Thinking about the abnormal strength of that Two-Headed Crow King, I felt a sudden sense of unease.
Oh my god, will it knock me down to level one?
"The Dark Wizard Two-Headed Crow King is flying over from the sky. Come and take a look, everyone."
Hearing the voice outside, I quickly put the pet egg back in my backpack and ran towards the city wall to see what was happening outside.
I had no idea what my fate would be.
"Stone, you're here too. Are you going to check out the situation?"
After running a few steps, I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw it was Tianhuo Lenghun.
"Yeah, just going to watch the excitement."
"I don't know who caused such a big uproar. Stone, let's go together."
"Okay."
Tianhuo Lenghun and I arrived at the city wall, which was already packed with players. If it weren't for some of Tianhuo Lenghun's brothers helping to save a spot, I wouldn't have been able to squeeze in.
A dark cloud mass was rapidly approaching Tianlong City from the south, crackling with immense energy and lightning strikes, leaving no vegetation in its wake.
In despair, I watched as the Two-Headed Crow King displayed such monstrous power, and my heart was filled with apprehension.
The infuriated, despondent, and regretful feelings of the Dark Mage Two-Headed Crow King hummed in its mind, causing it to lose its rationality and follow the aura of the pet egg of the divine beast "Dark Purple Sky Dragon," chasing after Tianlong City.
The Two-Headed Crow King was willing to bear the consequences to retrieve the pet egg of the divine beast "Dark Purple Sky Dragon."
A few days ago, the Two-Headed Crow King was fortunate to learn of the whereabouts of the artifact "Frozen Blue Crystal Sword" that Andrea used to slaughter the Red Dragon in the past, and coincidentally, the "Dark Purple Sky Dragon" was in the hatching stage. When it went to Honghe Village to search for the "Frozen Blue Crystal Sword," it also borrowed the power of the "Dark Purple Sky Dragon" to open the gate of the elves and venture into the Elf Canyon to search for several legendary super artifacts.
The six divine beasts under the control of the demon lord were the Dark Purple Sky Dragon, Hell Demon Dragon, Hell Nine-Headed Dog, Underworld Fire Phoenix, Dark Magic Wolf King, and Dark Ice Fire Charm.
Undeniably, among the six divine beasts, the Dark Purple Sky Dragon was unquestionably the first in strength, whether in the air or on land, whether long-range or close combat, and only the pet egg of the "Dark Purple Sky Dragon" could absorb the powerful spiritual energy of the gate of the elves.
Placed in another pet, it would have long been destroyed.
The Two-Headed Crow King had finally borrowed the only pet egg of the "Dark Purple Sky Dragon" from Elder Demon Claw, and by utilizing the egg's ability, not only could it open the gate of the elves, but it could also allow the strength of the "Dark Purple Sky Dragon" to rival that of the Golden Saint Dragon. What a wonderful thing this was! But now, with this complication arising, not only had it failed to open the gate of the elves, but it had also lost the pet egg. What was it to do, how was it to return to the demon clan, and how was it to answer to the Elder Demon Claw?
The Dark Mage Two-Headed Crow King knew that if it couldn't retrieve the pet egg of the "Dark Purple Sky Dragon" within thirty minutes, the aura of the pet egg would be lost, and it would no longer be able to confirm who had stolen the pet egg, nor would it be able to retrieve the pet egg. Then, when Lord Tianmo awakened, it might be the day it perished.
