Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

The next day, as soon as it was light, Li Ming arrived at the martial arts school.

Upon meeting Coach Wendy, she congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations on successfully advancing to the second level."

"Of course, now my status in the royal court is no longer that of a primary school student," Li Ming said proudly.

Wendy was amused by his words and burst into laughter, clutching her stomach and laughing for a long time.

After training was over, Li Ming pulled Wendy aside and asked, "Coach, I'd like to find a place for practice. Do you have any recommendations for a secret training ground?"

"What, didn't you have enough fun in yesterday's Corruption Rift?"

"I heard from my sister that all the second-tier slimes in the Corruption Realm have been wiped out, leaving only one survivor."

"It's a good thing you didn't kill them all, otherwise I would have had to ask you for the secret realm repair fee."

"However, things aren't much better now. Most of your salary has been deducted. Shall I transfer the remaining 100,000 Elf Coins to your account?"

Li Ming chuckled. Afterwards, he realized that since the Corruption Secret Realm was under the control of Qingqing Elementary School, they must know about the second-tier giant slime, and might even be raising it there.

Telling those students that it was a first-tier secret realm was probably intentional.

Looking back now, it's likely that the claim of the secret realm entrance being closed was just a ploy by the school teachers to fool the students. If something really happened, the entrance would probably be opened immediately.

Being docked wages is a minor matter.

"Go ahead and try again. It's not that I didn't have a good time yesterday, it's just that I reached the second tier and wanted to test my strength again."

"Alright, I know you just want to have some fun." Wendy interrupted Li Ming's excuses. "How about going to Stone Forest Wilderness? It's a combat training exercise for senior students organized by Golden Apple Elementary School."

"No, no, being a bodyguard for those brats is too tiring. Can we find a more ordinary secret realm that I want to try by myself?"

"Then you'll have to go check out the patrol team's mission center."

"The patrol's mission center has all the missions related to the secret realms near the Royal Court. You should be able to find a mission that suits you there."

"After accepting the quest, you will be able to travel to the corresponding secret realm through the teleportation array in the quest center."

"Be careful not to accept missions from shady brokers; sneaking into secret realms is illegal."

......

At the patrol team's mission center, with the relevant certificates issued by Lina, Li Ming successfully completed the registration and became an unofficial patrol member of the patrol team.

He can now accept patrol missions and enter the corresponding secret realms to maintain order.

Just as he was looking up at the bulletin board for a suitable quest to accept, a quest announcement that suddenly appeared caught his attention.

[Urgent mission in the Glowing Grasslands: An anomaly has occurred in the Glowing Grasslands. Herbalists gathering herbs there have been attacked by several Tier 2 magical beasts. Immediate rescue and investigation into the cause are required.]

The Glowing Grassland is a secret realm near the Royal Court that produces herbs. Most of the magical beasts living there are neutral Tier 1, with a small number of Tier 2 elite magical beasts and Tier 3 Beast Kings.

Since the adult elves near the royal court are at least third-tier gold level, this secret realm is not dangerous for them.

Herbalists who enter this secret realm are usually familiar with the activity range of the Beast King and elite magical beasts and will not provoke them. However, for some unknown reason, the herbalists were besieged.

Li Ming strode to the reception desk. "I'll take the rescue mission to the Firefly Grassland!"

The receptionist checked his rank and, finding he was at rank two, immediately assigned him the task.

"This is your quest acceptance token. The teleportation array is on the right side of the hall. Just go straight to the end and you'll arrive."

Li Ming thanked them, took the token, and went to the teleportation array. With the help of this special teleportation array, which connected dozens of secret realms near the royal court, he entered the secret realm "Firefly Grassland".

As its name suggests, the Firefly Grassland is covered with patches of firefly grass that are as tall as two people. At night, these grasses emit a beautiful glow.

The seven-colored light forms a dreamlike ocean of light, hence this secret realm also has another name—Rainbow Realm.

Many non-elven people living near the royal court consider this secret realm a popular tourist destination.

Therefore, any incident in this secret realm will greatly affect the patrol team's ticket revenue.

Upon entering the secret realm, Li Ming immediately discovered the problem.

From what he knew, the glow grass in the glow meadow was emerald green, except for the glowing parts at the top, which were all different colors.

But now it seems that these glowing grasses are somewhat malnourished. The green grass stalks that should have stood tall and upright, reaching about two people in height, are now drooping and covered with a layer of paleness, and the glowing parts at the top have all turned gray.

This situation is very similar to the secret realm he was in when he traveled through time. It was also a first-level secret realm for gathering herbs, but all the plants in it had mutated.

"Could it be that high-level creatures have also entered this secret realm?"

Upon discovering this, Li Ming immediately became nervous.

He was still terrified when he thought about the old red dragon's abilities. Although he had already reached the second tier, he didn't think he could defeat the old dragon, even though it was severely injured.

He took out [Fog of Deception] and slapped it away. Under the cover of the fog, his body became invisible. At the same time, he also used [Wind Step] of [Shadow Blade].

He only felt safe when he was in double stealth mode.

As for the high costs incurred from the continued use of [Fog of Deception], as a millionaire, he no longer cares about such expenses.

Following the mission instructions, Li Ming rushed towards the place where the herb gatherer had last sent out a distress signal.

He encountered some first-tier magical beasts on the way, who were wandering around the grassland.

"These magical beasts are all acting strangely!"

Why are they all running around everywhere instead of staying within their own territory?

He also discovered that these magical beasts would engage in fierce battles when they met, fighting to the death.

The winning side will consume the magic crystal of the defeated side, and their aura will increase.

"This is too violent! And the evolution speed is illogical. These magical beasts can't possibly have a system that allows them to level up, can they?"

He had used [Hand of Midas] to train some magical beasts on the way, turning them into his own experience. However, after discovering the problem with the magical beasts, he cautiously stopped what he was doing.

He stealthily made his way to the location where the herb gatherers had sent the signal, and the tranquil glowing grass exuded an eerie aura.

"What's going on?"

There was no sound or signs of fighting near the signal transmission location, so it didn't look like a battle had taken place at all.

"Were they arrested without any resistance?"

Li Ming switched his template to Enigma and then added the experience he had gained from refining magical beasts on the road.

[Mystery Level +1]

[Skill Point +1]

[Skill [Summon Demon] has been learned.]

Using the skill [Summon Demons], three purple ethereal beings that look very much like slimes appeared out of thin air.
