I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

It's the only thing that can generate such a large amount of mana.In other words, a real dragon lives in this cave.

It has not attacked.

If it wanted him dead, he wouldn't have come this far in the first place.Dragons have the greatest range of perception among creatures.

It's going to test me.

Long's intelligence is very high, so Long Xiangtian is still quite nervous.

[Who dares to enter my lair]
When Long Xiangtian was walking, a voice appeared in his mind.At the same time, a pair of big golden eyes blinked in the darkness.

(May I have your name?).

My name is Long Xiangtian.

He replied without hesitation.

I am Adaka, the elder leader of the Golden Dragon Tribe.Before testing you, I want to hear your purpose for coming here. ]
Sit on the throne and end these trials.This is my goal.

Adakal stared at the weak human in front of him for a long time.While his appearance is completely normal, he can sense something unique about him.

That's an ambitious goal, I think you should be willing to accept the most difficult test?
Of course I would.

He naturally wants to get the best reward.Adakal nodded, because this was his expected reaction.

I'm going to test your courage now].

A dazzling golden light appeared and engulfed the cave.

***
Long Xiangtian stood on the battlefield full of countless corpses.A red flag fluttered with the wind.

this place
North West Territories, Ravenhill.

The dragon king Ivanov invaded and completely destroyed this area.

So you are showing me my past.

It's so similar to what happened back then.Ivanov's red dragon brought a storm of death, leaving corpses all over the place.A painful memory he'd rather never relive
But I will not forget.

Ever since he decided to sit on the throne, he would think of their names every day, Xu Yingkui, Han Yuchen, Li Dongxun, Sylvia, Harris.

it's all my fault.

He focused on the Central Plains, but ignored other regions.He didn't expect Ivanov to hit him from behind.

I won't make the same mistake again.

Since this is his test, he has no reason to run away.He came back to create a better future, and not once did he doubt his decision.Long Xiangtian is willing to take responsibility for his complete neglect of his subordinates.However, he will never give up until the last moment.If he was too afraid of repeating the same mistakes, he would never ascend to the godhood.

this is not vanity

This is not pride, arrogance or selfishness.

Instead, I really want to achieve something more important than my own life.

This dream is not only for himself, but also for all his subordinates who trust him.

He will always move forward.If he falls and falls, he will get up again.Even the loss of his dearest will only make him work harder.His goal isn't to be a hero to everyone, it's just to end this whole nightmare.For this, he is willing to give up everything, whether it is human emotions, peaceful days or warm memories.

Whatever was holding him back, he would cut it off.

You can't judge me by this test.

Long Xiangtian swung his sword in the air, causing space to tear apart. [Unreal world]
That place just now was an illusion, Long Xiangtian knew it from the beginning.

This is the technique used by high-level demons.

Illusions, which allow you to see repressed, unwanted memories of your past or future, in order to shatter your psyche.It takes an indomitable will to break it.

It doesn't matter if your intelligence or mental stats are high or not.You can only beat it if you have a strong belief in yourself.When Long Xiangtian came out of the illusion at will, Adaka said a word to him.

[Excellent, a man of strong will.There are technically a few more tests, but we can just skip]. ]
Although it was just a simple evaluation, due to Adakar's rich experience in meeting many people over the years, he was able to judge his aptitude with confidence.

He was so much like that guy.

There was once a single person who ruled the entire dragon species.

[Carlos]
He collected all the tokens hidden in the historical sites of the gods, and thus obtained the hidden rank-Dragon Lord.

Although he later died pitifully because of betrayal, his legacy is still there.

Maybe this human being can reach his level.

I have a mission for you, if you succeed, you will gain control of the entire Dragon Clan.

what's up?

[Collect Nine Street Tokens and lift the restrictions imposed on us by the gods]
Long Xiangtian thought for a while, and was surprised by this sudden change.

Control of the Dragon Clan.

Of course Long Xiangtian had heard of the special rank of Dragon King, but he had never met anyone who had attained this rank.

Ivanov has only managed to tame one red dragon.

This is an incredible opportunity.

If all dragons become his subordinates, he will rise to the throne faster than anyone else.

However, this could also prove to be a problem.He didn't know ahead of time where to find the nine tokens, or even how long it would take.

This is a serious inconvenience to Long Xiangtian who often races against time.

Well, let's think about it as we go.

Upwind was too attractive to ignore, so he had to accept the challenge.It is this mentality that has allowed him to achieve all his achievements.

I accept.

After his answer, a white text appeared in his mind.

Earn the title Legendary Explorer. .

[The drop rate of items on monsters is increased by 20%. ]
[Increases perception and speed by 20% in historical relics].

It was not a title he thought he could earn in this forest.Generally, you can get something like Goblin Slayer, Human Hunter, or Novice Explorer.

Also, take this.

Adakal picked out an egg from the nest behind him and dedicated it to Long Xiangtian.

This is the reward for passing the test.

Are there any eggs?

[The rest are for future adventurers.Although I would like to give them all to you, it is my responsibility to follow the instructions of the Creator]. ]
Thinking of this, Long Xiangtian became quite irritable.In this way, Ivanov can still flex his muscles here and get an egg.

I can't help it either.

He couldn't defeat the golden dragon in front of him, and he didn't want to stay here and wait for Ivanov to appear.

Long Xiangtian put the dragon egg into the sage's bag, turned around and left the cave.

I will go first.

He will tame his own dragon and destroy his territory before Ivanov.

While it didn't have the desired effect of preventing Ivanov from getting his dragon, it was still a lucky encounter and he felt he had profited instead.

***
A crescent moon hangs in the night sky.Base camp is as silent as a dead rat

There was no movement except the crackling of the central fireplace.

Just as I expected.

Zhang Taixi nodded to himself, observing the situation from behind the bushes.

He had discovered the location in the early afternoon, when the monster attack had already begun.

There is such a guy, his fighting power is very strong.

However, apart from him, the rest of the people are nothing special.The attack of the large red worms made most of them froze in fright. They didn't even participate in the battle, but just watched from behind.

To crush these weak players is simply a piece of cake.

Zhang Taixi has his own unique story about how he became a homeless person.

On the first night of being teleported here, there was a dispute in their camp, and someone actually put out their central campfire.

After that, it has been unable to light it again.All supplies such as tents and cooking utensils in the camp disappeared.

I want to make this my new home.

There is no rule that you cannot change base camps.Eve has already mentioned that she is unwilling to interfere in the affairs between adventurers, and there is no punishment for murder.

So he came up with a plan.In the middle of the night, he will act to wipe out the adventurers in this other camp.

Killing all the women is a bit of a waste.
After all there are a few women who will prove to be useful sexual outlets.Occupy it first, and then deal with specific matters, Zhang Taixi thought to himself, he came back to his senses, and gestured to his team.

Get ready, we're going in.

The subordinates nervously followed behind Zhang Taixi.After checking to make sure there were no scouts, they broke into the first tent.

They must have all been asleep and found nothing.

The bonfire can ensure that there are no monster attacks at night, so the base camp naturally relaxes its vigilance.

Zhang Tae-seok showed an evil smile when he looked towards the tent, but his expression quickly fell.

What, people?
No one saw it, it was almost as if they knew about it ahead of time...The same goes for checking other tents.

Have they all left base camp?
The campfire was still lit, so there was no point in them leaving.

Something was wrong, because he felt an ominous premonition creeping in.Just as he was about to give orders to his team, a scream sounded in the night.

Ah!
Surprised, he ran to the source of the sound, only to find that one of his subordinates had an arrow stuck in his neck.

Oh shit
Jang Tae-seok swears without thinking.

They got us.

No, they knew it from the beginning, but how could it be?This is the only thought in Zhang Taixi's mind at the moment.

Ah!
There was another scream, and this one was much closer.

Instead of running around in a panic, he decided to observe his surroundings.

I can't be fooled by them.

If he doesn't keep a cool head, things will only get worse.Zhang Taixi finally raised the black scimitar, and shouted with a look of reluctance.

Assemble, we retreat temporarily.

Things didn't go according to plan, so he decided to take his team and quickly escape from the base camp.

There were more screams as they walked into the forest, but he just ran straight on, not once looking back.

hoo hoo

They were panting because some of the crew couldn't keep up with him.Zhang Taixi finally raised his hand to signal them to stop.

Hearing the rustling of nearby leaves, one of his men, holding a short bow, shot an arrow in that direction.

The complete silence that followed only made the atmosphere more tense.

Did you shoot him?

Although there has been no further movement, it is impossible to be sure unless it is verified in person.

Just when Zhang Taixi was about to make a move, an arrow appeared.

Kuruk

His subordinate with the shortbow spit out some blood, and his stomach was pierced by an arrow shot from behind.

It has to be done.

In such darkness, only the wielder of a black scimitar can move freely, and there will only be one such man in each camp.

I had no choice but to get out.

He had to deal with the threat himself before the casualties were more serious.Due to the flying arrow, he already knew the approximate location of the opponent, so as long as he carefully launched a range attack, he would have a great chance of winning.

Kuhuk

Please
The screams came from his own team, and he let them go after the threat themselves.

Zhang Tae-seok frowned
He is challenging us one by one.

He made up his mind to kill this guy, and he continued to look for Long Xiangtian.But ever since he started looking for it actively, there has been a quiet atmosphere in the forest.

where are you?

He looked around so carefully, but found nothing.

Still can't find it. In case
Zhang Taixi broke out in a cold sweat.No, impossible.

It is impossible for one person to take care of his entire team.

While he was thinking about what he should do, a man's voice sounded behind him.

You are alone now, Jang Tae-seok.

"."

He turned around with a heavy expression, and saw Long Xiangtian staring at him with a bloody machete.

I regret not killing you that time in the valley.I suffered a lot when you led a special strike force.After surviving from that devil world, you even offered a bounty on my head. "

what.
In the end you were caught and hacked by one of my bodyguards, but I kept imagining what it would be like to kill you with my own hands.

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward and cut off Zhang Taixi's two arms.He knelt on the ground and cried out in pain.

Ahhhhh!
Blood spurted out, and unbearable pain enveloped him.

The movement of the scimitar was so fast that he didn't even see it.

It's just that the data gap is too large.

In just two days, there was an incredible gap between them.He also trained very hard, but it was all in vain.Jang Tae-seok looked up at him in utter despair, the shadow of death looming over him.

I'm glad that Yoo Hyuk is part of our camp.

While talking, Ma Guangbi continued to pull out the feathers.Park Qunyou nodded beside him.

He was a good man, though taciturn.He also provides us with food.

All the survivors are holding a bird wing, which they got from Long Xiangtian in exchange for helping to pull out all the feathers.

Why don't you tell about yourself?Although you don't talk much, everyone is very curious about you, Woohyuk.

Yoo Hyuk's face became very irritated.

It's this guy again.

However, looking at the faces of the people around him, he still realized that he still had to explain.At least he didn't want some weird rumors starting to spread.

Actually this is my second time here so I know more than you guys.

Can you share some important information with us?You can also see that after tonight's raid on the camp, everyone is very nervous, and many people have not yet adjusted to this strange forest.

This sneaky guy.

After careful consideration.Long Xiangtian finally replied.

If you follow me tomorrow, I'll teach you something.

where are you going

central lake.

The expressions of many survivors, including Ma Guangbi, froze immediately.Just mentioning the name brought back some bad memories.

It's too dangerous, please think again.

The choice is yours.

Can you keep us safe.

Everyone's life is his own.

There was an awkward silence after that, Long Xiangtian could only smile wryly.

Is it too strong?
For those who don't know the truth, this sounds like a certain death.Of course he had plans, but even he didn't know if they could handle it.

Maybe one or two of them will choose to follow.

In the past, there are still a few who have the courage and will be useful.While some things have changed on the timeline, it shouldn't affect their nature.Long Xiangtian decided to wait for a while.

I will go.

It was Li Zaicheng who stood up and broke the silence.He met Long Xiangtian's gaze confidently, apparently having made up his mind.

Anyone else?

In response to his questioning, a few more people volunteered, making a total of ten people.There was even a high school student and a nine-year-old girl among them.

This is a bit surprising.

They couldn't have had much influence in the past because he had no memory of them.Maybe they had died in this very raid before, and even hid until the end.

I will not stop them.

They might actually turn out to be useful underlings, unless they run away at the first sign of danger.

Well, that's all I lead.

If there are too many people, tomorrow's situation will be a bit unusual, and it will become a burden instead.

My stats are still way too low.

Hunting as a team can work if you have a good leader.

Can help him avoid certain dangers, but can still challenge high-level hunting areas.

They actually do more manual labor.

Long Xiangtian started to roast his red-feathered bird skewers on the fire, Zaicheng approached him and asked.

Can you let me know what are your plans?

Don't forget the flute.

What?Who are you?

Long Xiangtian turned his head and nodded to him, making Li Zaicheng's expression stiff.

that doesn't sound like a good idea
This is for me to judge.

He didn't want to go into an in-depth explanation because that would only lead to more questions.And anyway, any information will not be of any help to them right now.

Ok.

one thing i can tell you
Long Xiangtian said to the disappointed Li Zaicheng.

If you come back tomorrow, you can deal with your own problems.

Their eyes met, and Lee Jae-sung responded.

Then I'm looking forward to it. [Central Lake]
This is the area in the virgin forest where the highest level items can be found, but just getting there is quite dangerous.Hordes of monsters must be passed through, and while the Ghost Mushroom is quite effective at low levels, there is a limit to how many monsters it can evade detection.
