Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

Yang Wei's voice trembled uncontrollably, filled with despair.

Just now, one of them almost drove them to the brink of death, and now nine of them have suddenly appeared!

One of them was exceptionally large, more than twice the size of the one Chen Xi had just killed, and looked incredibly ferocious! This was a catastrophic disaster!

Chen Xi's heart sank suddenly.

He was well aware of his limits. At full strength, relying on the unique mechanism of the [Eternal Sleep Spear], he could only kill one enemy even if he tried his best.

With his mental power now less than 30%, and surrounded by nine Vajra Beautiful Lizards, he doesn't even have the right to fight a desperate battle.

However, the more desperate the situation, the calmer Chen Xi became; this was a talent he possessed as an ordinary person.

Chen Xi quickly reviewed the situation in his mind. He and Yang Wei had barely moved, yet they still triggered the second wave of monsters.

Isn't this just a simple triggering mechanism?

wrong!

The moment the thought crossed Chen Xi's mind, she transformed into a rebuttal type and rejected it.

The danger within this safe zone must be caused by some kind of triggering mechanism.

These nine are most likely teammates of that one.

It must have been a distress signal sent before death or during combat for it to arrive so quickly.

But dwelling on the truth at this moment is pointless; the key is to find a way to break the deadlock.

"Holy crap! Why are they all staring at me?!"

Yang Wei's exclamation suddenly rose, and he kept backing away from Chen Xi, like a lamb that had strayed into a pack of wolves, his whole body trembling.

An overwhelming sense of oppression swept over him as nine mountain-like phantoms pressed closer and closer. Chen Xi's brain was racing, almost overloaded.

Just as the Golden Lizard was about to engage in close combat, Chen Xi suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if he had made some kind of high-stakes gamble.

"Take it!"

Chen Xi suddenly shoved the forbidden item number 8, the Dragon Summoning Flute, into Yang Wei's hand.

Yang Wei caught it with a blank expression, his eyes full of confusion.

He had seen and touched this flute before, but he had no dragon attribute and could not activate it.

But then he suddenly realized.

The boss is making me risk my life to exaggerate!

I will sacrifice my life to awaken the Tier III dragon and break the deadlock, and then reflect me back into its image!

After all, if Chen Xi were to die, he would truly be dead.

Although Yang Wei cherished his life that he had regained, he was never hesitant to sacrifice himself when the time came.

He gripped the Dragon-Summoning Flute tightly in both hands, as if it were a gold bar.

He took a deep breath, ready to play with all his might.

suddenly.

"Snapped!"

A resounding slap landed on Yang Wei's face, and Chen Xi snapped, "You want to die?! You dare to brag like that without any dragon attributes?"

Yang Wei, dazed and confused from the slaps, covered his cheek and muttered, "Boss, isn't this your 'Dragon Summoning Plan'?"

"What dragon-summoning plan? You're overthinking it!" Chen Xi rolled her eyes, pointed around, and said, "Look, they're all gone. We're safe."

"What?!"

Yang Wei looked up abruptly and saw that the Golden Lizards that had surrounded him were now retreating rapidly like a tide, disappearing into the distance in the blink of an eye.

The fear on his face was instantly replaced by ecstatic joy, and his tone was full of relief at surviving the ordeal.

He raised the object in his hand:

"Is it because of the Dragon-Summoning Flute?"

Although Yang Wei isn't particularly smart, this is the only reason for his current situation.

"Not entirely." Chen Xi shook his head and took out another forbidden item.

The forbidden object, which resembles an imperial seal, is numbered 10, Shenglong.

"When I mentioned earlier that I saw something familiar during the descent, it was actually related to these two forbidden items."

"Especially now that we've advanced some distance and are familiar with the area, I can vaguely see the outlines of two giant dragons in the distance, which makes me even more certain."

He paused, his fingertips tracing the dragon shape carved on the ascending dragon:

"One of the dragons is the one I mentioned to you before, the one that the chameleon fake man summoned from the dragon-summoning flute."

"You haven't seen that dragon before, but it's the same as the one the idol summoned, just different in size."

"And the other one..." Chen Xi pointed to the rising dragon, "...it's the one carved on this!"

"This enormous city is connected to these two forbidden items!"

Chen Xi summarized:

"Based on what we've encountered, these two forbidden items are the tickets to enter this enormous city."

"As long as you carry one of these items, you can reach this place without being attacked by the dangers here."

Yang Wei nodded frantically, but then suddenly stopped halfway through, his face full of confusion:

"Wait a minute, boss, you were attacked too! Brother Li was torn to pieces!"

"That's different," Chen Xi explained. "The first King Kong Beauty Lizard's initial target was only you; it didn't intend to attack me."

"It was only after I took the initiative that he began to see me as an enemy."

"The Great City is like an art exhibition organized by a host."

"I'm a guest who received an invitation; you're someone who barged in without a ticket."

"The King Kong Beauty Lizard is a security guard whose job is to 'drive away' people without invitations."

"And because I attacked a security guard, I have temporarily lost my immunity as a guest."

After saying that, Chen Xi added, "However, this immunity is only temporary. It should be reset when he dies, otherwise we wouldn't have survived just now."

"That's roughly the logic."

Yang Wei suddenly realized and slapped his forehead, finally understanding the cause and effect.

Just to be on the safe side, Chen Xi decided to stay where she was and rest for a day until her mental energy was fully restored.

One day later.

Chen Xi and his companion successfully reached their destination, each carrying the Rising Dragon and the Dragon Summoning Flute. As expected, they encountered no further danger along the way.

There are three giant dragon statues here, one more than Chen Xi had expected.

The three are of similar size and are estimated to be one kilometer long, making them extremely large.

Just as Chen Xi had suspected, one of the dragons was summoned by the Dragon Summoning Flute, and the other was carved on the Ascending Dragon.

They look almost identical, only their proportions are different.

The other one Chen Xi had never seen before had two very long fangs on its upper palate, longer than its skull.

Based on the previous two cases, Chen Xi could easily guess that this fanged dragon was most likely related to another forbidden item.

Number 7, Dragon Tooth!

"The Three Dragons Gathering, is that right...?"

Chen Xi muttered to himself.
