Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 408 The Vanished "Junior" - Tens of Millions of Experience Points Required

The month of fire, the 20th of the seventh month.

Three days have passed since the destruction of the [Abyss Body].

In a desolate pit.

A strange dragon-shaped metal object, over thirty meters long and with a silvery-white surface dotted with starlight, lay quietly in the deep pit.

Whether it is day or night, this special metallic object, when illuminated by sunlight or moonlight, emits a faint starlight, like a fallen star.

The battle three days ago caused a huge commotion.

Even though Tang Zheng and the others from the [Abyss Body] deliberately chose a desolate place, the scene of their battle was astonishing.

In particular, the Dark Dragon King's clone released the high-level primordial "Black Light Burst Moon," which covered an area for several kilometers, turning an area into darkness.

This peculiar phenomenon can be observed even from a great distance during the day.

"It's amazing!"

"What kind of metal is this?"

"It's somewhat similar to mithril, but it's clearly not."

"The starlight embellishment is so beautiful!"

"The magic transmission is exceptionally smooth, with no sense of loss whatsoever. If only this metal could be used to make magical artifacts..."

A strange race dressed as spellcasters or craftsmen gathered around Golem, tapping and fiddling with each other, analyzing and observing with excited voices.

This is a precious metal that surpasses the understanding of everyone present!
Besides the dozen or so people surrounding Graeme, there were others on the outer edge of the pit.

A force of wild wolves, each over 2 meters tall and clad in lightweight soft armor, was stationed on the outskirts of the area, on high alert.

This was clearly a well-trained and powerful elite army, numbering as many as 500.

Bang!
A fully armed soldier riding a wild wolf galloped in from afar, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"General, we have already scouted the area and there are no signs of a battle."

The demi-human soldier approached a strong figure, quickly jumped off the wild wolf, and reported the results of his reconnaissance.

"I see."

The general, who was not wearing a helmet, turned around, revealing a werewolf face, and spoke in a majestic voice.

This is a demi-human race called the "Cracktooth Clan." They look similar to the werewolf race, but they are actually a completely different race.

If you look closely, you will notice that the shape of its mouth is not the normal vertical opening shape of a race.

Instead, it is shaped like an "X", with the lower jaw split horizontally into four lobes, possessing an amazing bite force that can easily crush hard granite.

"Could it really have fallen from the sky?"

The Cracktooth Clan general raised his head and looked up at the sky, his brows furrowed deeply.

There were indeed no signs of a battle around, only a deep crater created by a fall from a great height; at least that was the result of the investigation.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

As soon as the Golem clone arrived in the area, Tang Zheng ambushed it from behind and destroyed it using the "Elemental Collapse Words" technique.

Therefore, this area.

There were no signs of a fierce battle.

An excited, hoarse voice came from below the pit: "General Gerla, General Gerla..."

I saw.

An old, bearded demi-human is struggling to climb out of the deep pit.

Fortunately, a ladder made of ropes was built long ago; otherwise, falling into the more than ten-meter-deep pit could easily have resulted in injury or even death.

Upon seeing the other person, General Gerla quickly stepped forward and carefully pulled him up.

"Master Craftsman Raff," General Gerla addressed him respectfully.

This man is one of the nation's top craftsmen; half of the weapons used by their elite troops were crafted by him and his apprentices.

"Gather people as soon as possible and bring this huge piece of metal back!" The craftsman from Raff said excitedly, ignoring the dust on his face and clothes.

"But……"

General Gerla opened his four-lobed mouth, a hint of hesitation appearing on his dignified face.

Even someone like him, who doesn't know much about metal ores, could tell the value of this huge piece of metal at a glance.

But the shape of this piece of metal is exactly the same as the shape of the dragon in the family records and legends.

General Gerla harbored a deep concern: would bringing this metal back to the country bring unknown dangers or even disaster?

"They just look similar."

The craftsman, seemingly aware of General Gerla's concerns, let out a hearty laugh, pointing with his arm towards the deep pit below:
"Besides, it doesn't even have a head. Look at the posture of this piece of metal, doesn't it look like one of those dead fish in the river, belly up? Hahaha~"

General Gerla was quite troubled.

It's not just similar in appearance; apart from lacking a head, it's completely lifelike.

"Roar!"

"what!!"

"Archie, what's wrong!"

"...!"

Suddenly, the elite troops stationed around the area, who had assembled into wild wolves, let out terrified howls, completely bewildered.

Before the Cracktooth soldiers present could react...

Almost instantly!

These wild wolves, trained for a long time, all collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their bestial eyes radiating undisguised fear.

"What happened...!"

General Gerla's expression changed drastically. He immediately gripped the long sword-like magical artifact in his hand and shouted warily, wanting to ask what had happened.

The words haven't been fully spoken yet!
The entire body then stiffened uncontrollably in place.

Plop—Plop—

One by one, the elite members of the Rifttooth Clan, with their eyes wide open, collapsed to the ground like fallen weeds and wild demon wolves, lifeless, in General Gerla's sight.

The smiling Craftsman Raff was still on his face when he fell straight down!

in the end……

What exactly happened?

General Gerla's arm, wielding his weapon, trembled uncontrollably, and an indescribable sense of terror caused him to break out in a cold sweat.

Only then did he notice that a huge shadow had already enveloped the area.

The enemy is overhead!
"Get your body moving."

"I am... a hero..."

General Gerla screamed in terror. As the most powerful hero respected by all, he had never felt such a deep-seated horror as he did now.

Even death.

At the very least, we need to figure out who the enemy is...

"An indomitable will!"

Power fueled by an aura of death.

General Gerla regained control of his body and struggled to move his head, trying to look up at the sky.

bang——

General Gerla raised his chin slightly, and his body, like an overloaded machine, could no longer hold on and exploded into a cloud of blood mist!

Hundreds of meters in the air.

The Dark Dragon King's amber-colored vertical pupils stared coldly and emotionlessly at the deep pit below.

As for those inferior insects that were crushed to death by its dragon might, they were not even worthy of its attention.

Looking at Graeme's body, all the scales had been stripped away.

"You've angered me... junior!"

The Dark Dragon King exhaled a stream of black gas from his nostrils, muttering to himself as if burning with rage, but a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes.

The other party did not take away Graeme's clone.

It was probably because it guessed that there were marks left by it that it restrained its racial greed.

Out of caution, it waited three days to observe before confirming that the "younger generation" had probably left completely.

just now!

The Dark Dragon King has completely ruled out the possibility that the opponent is Preya and Enpisi.

If it were truly "the Dragon Emperor's filth," it would not have ended so abruptly with proper preparation.

escape?

This indicates that the "younger generation" has limited capabilities.

"Such destructive power should be the opponent's trump card, the kind that cannot be used in a short time."

Even from high above, the Dark Dragon King's astonishing vision still allowed him to clearly observe the missing head of Golem's clone within the deep pit.

This was one of his backup plans that he had spent over a hundred years setting up, and he never expected it to be destroyed under such circumstances!
An indescribable heartache.

The Dark Dragon King couldn't help but spread his dragon wings, and his tight, black fleshy membrane vibrated slightly in the air like a tough drum.

Buzz-buzz-

Visible shockwaves churned around the Dark Dragon King, shattering the clouds higher in the sky.

"You think—you've escaped!"

The Dark Dragon King let out a low roar, having already made a clear assessment of the younger generation's strength and abilities.

I never expected that there would be a dragon race that could master "filthy power" to such an extent, and even have a trump card with extremely destructive power.

This was enough for the Dark Dragon King to take seriously, but that was all it was—"take seriously." That incredibly destructive fire technique was extremely incompatible with it, but it contained information relayed back by Gorem's clone.

The Dark Dragon King was confident he could dodge it.

The thick dragon claw touched the abdomen, and the precious magical item called "Three-Legged Bird's Guiding Spool" reappeared in its palm.

"launch!"

The Dark Dragon King intends to take matters into his own hands this time, deciding whether to kill or enslave the target based on his mood and the target's worth.

Swish!
One of the two remaining threads on the spool snapped and disappeared into the void.

Half an hour passed.

The Dark Dragon King discovered that he was unable to locate the other party's position until the effects of the magical item completely disappeared.

"Huh...huh..."

Rapid breathing filled the air, accompanied by intense anger and an indescribable emotion.

"I'll remember you!" A chilling voice echoed through the air.

—In the depths of the hilly region.

Two days ago.

Tang Zheng has returned to Aberlein Hills, along with Iverie.

After using the ability of "physical armor," it devoured the dragon scales that the Dark Dragon King had covered Golem's clone with using special technology.

Tang Zheng quickly withdrew from the battlefield, though he did not use his dragon identity to completely gain the trust of the Dark Dragon King.

But it has already planted a seed called "the destruction of the dragon race" in the other party's heart.

If the Dark Dragon King isn't stupid, he will definitely investigate, especially the two key clues he mentioned: "innate superpowers" and "humans."

Tang Zheng was unsure whether there was any connection between the True Dragon Kings, but he believed that if the Dark Dragon King investigated, he would likely turn his attention to the northwest corner of this continent.

"There's some risk involved."

"However, Ainz Ooal Gown will be here in about two years, so this risk is worth it."

Tang Zheng sat lazily in the depths of this lush green valley, a thoughtful expression on his face, a stalk of what looked like foxtail grass dangling from his mouth.
"The Platinum Dragon King has territory here, and the offspring of the Seven-Colored Dragon King, the Dragon King's daughter, may also be part of this true Dragon King's arrangement."

"If we were to lure over the Dark Dragon King, one of the 'Six Dragons Alliance,' things would get interesting."

Of course, this also carries higher risks.

Humanity may very well face an insurmountable crisis.

but.

Tang Zheng knew that the forces of the Platinum Dragon King and the forces of the Dark Dragon King were in a state of mutual disapproval and opposition.

If the Dark Dragon King were to truly descend, the presence of the Platinum Dragon King would be sufficient to restrain him.

"Iver'ai is now in 'Ye Lantier,' and with her joining us, the situation in the Great Forest of Tob should be completely resolved."

Tang Zheng's eyes flickered as he pondered for a moment.

He did not reveal his human identity. After returning from the Kingdom of Inberia, Tang Zheng and Iver Ai parted ways in Ye Lantier.

The Blue Rose is currently stationed in this fortified city.

"The two-month trip went by so fast."

Tang Zheng let out a sigh, and with a thought, he switched to the attribute panel.

In terms of gains!

This is the largest gain Tang Zheng has made since his transmigration.

Not only did they acquire two special professions, but they also gained primordial magic, high-level rank magic, the legacy of the [Abyss Body], and more.

In particular, the legacy of the [Body of the Abyss].

Tang Zheng even had to set aside time specifically for organizing and studying it.

…………

[Experience Bar: 998w/1118w]

…………

The remaining 30 million experience points can only be used to level up 3 times. At this point, the experience required to level up has exceeded 10 million.

Tang Zheng looked at the experience requirement in the "experience bar" and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thankfully he had the means to gain experience by absorbing neutral angels.

Otherwise, even if he activated his massacre mode, he probably wouldn't be able to easily meet the experience requirement of tens of millions at this level.

Moreover, the experience gained through killing is subject to experience decay.

Effect: Blessing of Abundance
Introduction: An unexpected product resulting from enhancements using "Rune Technology" and "Deterioration of the Physical Armament".

……

It's no wonder that these are the dragon scales of the Dark Dragon King.

With Tang Zheng's own level, "Physical Armor" has reached the level of a "legendary" magical item, and he wants to upgrade it.

The required bone-type energy was already at an enormous level; even after absorbing all of the remaining remains of the Sun Anglerfish, it only replenished a small portion.

These dragon scales actually raised the level of physical armor to its maximum.

““The Wings of Dark Silence”,” Tang Zheng muttered to himself, a bead of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

This skill is not complicated.

The effect was surprisingly amazing, somewhat similar to "Ninjutsu: Hidden Shadow," but with a stronger and wider range of abilities, allowing it to completely hide in darkness and shadows.

Based on this skill analysis, Tang Zheng concluded that the Dark Dragon King was very likely near the battlefield at the time.

Fortunately, he didn't really want to fight the Dark Dragon King, and he left the battlefield as soon as he obtained his profession.

"This ability can clearly be used in conjunction with the high-level primordial magic 'Black Light Burst Moon'."

Tang Zheng thought of the primordial magic that could turn the environment into darkness and immediately associated it with this ability.

Even during the day, the Dark Dragon King can use primordial magic to create a battlefield that is advantageous to him.

"The information obtained from the clone of Golem is indeed not enough to deal with the real Dark Dragon King." Tang Zheng knew that he had obtained a lot of information this time.

However, overall...

In this encounter with the Dark Dragon King, he was clearly in a more passive position.

"puff."

Tang Zheng spat out the foxtail grass in his mouth: "Next, we can focus more on the arrangements."

Currently, his level cap has reached 80, so he doesn't need to worry about his class until he reaches the maximum level.

"Today is the 20th, the day when the Slane Theocracy and the Holy Kingdom will once again trade 'Infusion Potions'."

Tang Zheng suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed on a certain direction, his eyes seeming to pierce through layers of leaves and the obstruction of his surroundings:
"This is……"

A peculiar ancient castle.

In the lobby on the first floor, which has been renovated in a European style.

Remedios and three elite members of the Holy Knights sat at a spacious round table, with steaming cups of black tea in front of them.

The three members of the Holy Knights sat upright, showing no intention of tasting their tea. Their eyes flashed with wariness as they subtly observed the demi-humans opposite them.

"The quality is good, but the technique is just so-so."

Remedios's fluffy brown hair swayed slightly as she shook her head. Maintaining aristocratic manners, she set down her cup of black tea and commented:
“Being treated as a state-level hospitality makes people feel slighted.”

"Forgive me."

The Emerald Leaf Witch lowered her head slightly: "In this respect, one needs to study it specifically."

"The castle has also been renovated, and its previous vulgar and disgusting style has finally disappeared."

"It has indeed been redecorated. The aesthetics of the demi-human races in the hilly areas are different, but that's not something to worry about."

"The entire hill is now under the control of 'Free Will,' and as a human, our captain naturally prefers the kingdom's style in terms of decoration."

The Green Leaf Witch patiently explained with a smile, while subtly asserting her dominance over the hilly region.

pity!

Remedios was not Kurilat and did not realize the hidden meaning. His brown eyes kept glancing at the stairs or the doorway out of the corner of his eye.

"Lord Remedios, are you looking for people from the Slane Theocracy?" The Emerald Leaf Witch noticed the other party's subtle movements, and a smile appeared on her lips.

"Uh, yes, the people of the Slane Theocracy really have no concept of punctuality."

"Yeah, right," the Green Leaf Witch thought to herself.

This simple-minded woman wants to find a master, and according to the human concept of male-female relationships, she should be interested in the master.

Ah!
This foolish woman who thinks she has some ability could never be worthy of her master; it's like the difference between a slave and a prince.

They are qualified to lick their master's feet.

The Green Leaf Witch wore a smile, but inwardly she harbored a vicious and contemptuous sneer.
