Online game: Basic attacks increase strength; the greater the power, the more powerful it is!

Without hesitation.

Let's not even talk about the exorbitant price of the dragon egg, which is worth 1000 dragon marks.

The dragon itself is inherently attractive.

"Senior, I want to choose this dragon egg."

Jun Heng turned to Aldridge and said.

"Heh, trial participant, you have quite the eye."

Aldridge smiled and waved his right hand lightly.

The golden ball of light, which had been suspended at the deepest part of the treasure vault, slowly drifted down in front of Jun Heng.

The light faded, revealing an egg that was a meter in size.

The eggshell is bright red like flames, with fine dragon patterns flowing across its surface, as if it were slowly wriggling with life.

Faintly, one can feel a faint heartbeat emanating from inside the eggshell, carrying an ancient and powerful life force.

【Crimson Dragon Egg (Special)】

[Description: A dragon egg containing pure dragon bloodline. It needs to absorb enough energy to hatch. The hatched dragon will form a soul contract with you and become your most loyal battle partner.]

[Hatching Requirements: Hatching requires absorbing sufficient experience points; current value: 0/1000000]

Jun Heng carefully put the Crimson Lotus Dragon Egg into his backpack, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

It takes one million experience points to hatch, a demanding condition.

But for him, it was only a matter of time.

At his current monster-killing efficiency, it won't be long before the dragon egg hatches.

"Trial seeker, you have made a wise choice."

Aldridge's voice echoed through the hall, carrying a hint of approval.

"The pact between dragons and humans has a long history. A pure-blooded dragon companion will become your most reliable aid in conquering foreign lands."

"However, I must remind you that the growth of dragons requires a large investment of resources."

"If you can't provide enough energy, it will never truly take flight."

Jun Heng nodded and kept these words in mind.

He knew that while dragon pets were powerful, the cost of raising them was indeed high.

But none of these were problems for him, who possessed a super-dominant talent.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior."

Jun Heng solemnly clasped his hands in greeting to Aldridge.

"No need. You should have obtained some dragon marks during your previous trials."

"While there's still time, you can redeem the items you want here."

Aldridge waved his hand and said.

"it is good."

Jun Heng's gaze swept quickly across the crystal tablet.

He completed the three trials and obtained a total of 50 Dragon Marks. In addition, he received 50 more from the projection of his killing power, for a total of 100 marks.

The Dragonblood set is missing a chest piece and leg armor. The Dragonblood chest piece is worth 50 Dragon Marks, and the Dragonblood leg armor is worth 40.

After a moment's hesitation, he chose to exchange it.

Collecting the entire set is the most valuable thing. Although Dragon Marks are difficult to obtain, they cannot be exchanged for real money.

As Jun Heng made his choice, two more orbs of light floated in front of him.

The light faded, revealing a breastplate with a dark gold sheen and a pair of leg guards of the same material.

Once the complete set is assembled, Junheng will list it on the auction house.

The starting price was set at 100 gold coins, intending to let the guild leaders and conglomerates bid for it themselves.

After Junheng finished doing all that, Aldridge spoke again.

"Trialist, King, now that you have received the dragon's gift..."

"So, are you willing to accept a mission belonging to the dragon race?"

Jun Heng's expression brightened upon hearing this; it seemed a mission was about to be issued.

"Please speak, senior. I will do my utmost."

Aldridge's eyes suddenly narrowed, a complex expression appearing on his face.

"Ten years ago, the Dragon Clan welcomed a trial participant with exceptional talent."

"Like you, he received three S-rank ratings in the three trials, earning the highest recognition from the dragon race."

"His name is Lost."

Aldridge's voice echoed through the hall, carrying a hint of undisguised regret and heaviness.

"Loster was originally one of the most outstanding inheritors of the dragon race, and the dragon elders had high hopes for him."

"I believe he will definitely become the guardian of the dragon race in the future, or even the spokesperson of the dragon god in the outside world."

"However……"

"During a mission, Lost was tempted by Islild, one of the nine dukes of the Abyss Demons."

"Islid promised him greater power and a longer lifespan."

Lost could not resist the temptation, betrayed the dragons, and fell into the abyss.

"He betrayed our intelligence, causing us heavy losses."

"Most importantly, when he defected, he stole the Dragon Clan's most precious treasure, the Dragon God's Scepter."

After listening to Aldrich's account, Jun Heng's expression gradually became serious.

Lost, traitor, Dragon God's Scepter...

When these pieces of information came together, he realized that this task was of extraordinary value.

"Senior, do you want me to take back the Dragon God's Scepter?"

Aldridge shook his head.

"The Dragon God's Scepter has already been given to Islild by Lost; that's not a creature you can handle right now."

"But Lost himself is now hiding somewhere in the second-tier town of Dawn."

"He disguised himself as an ordinary blacksmith apprentice and secretly gathered intelligence for the Abyss forces."

"I hope you can find him and learn from him the whereabouts of the Dragon God's Scepter and Islild's plan."

[Ding! Hidden quest triggered: The Dragon's Mission!]

[Mission Objective: Proceed to Dawn City, find the traitor Lost, and obtain information regarding the whereabouts of the Dragon God's Scepter.]

[Quest Rewards: Dragon Reputation +500, Dragon Mark +100, Experience Points +200000, ???]

[Failure Penalty: Level decreases by 3 levels.]

[Note: This mission involves Abyss factions; please proceed with extreme caution.]

Jun Heng's eyes gleamed as he finished reading the mission description.

This quest not only grants reputation and marks among the dragons, but also an unknown reward: ???

"Don't worry, senior, I will definitely complete the mission."

Aldridge nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his deep eyes.

"Trial participant, I have witnessed both your strength and character."

"I believe you will not disappoint the dragons like Lost did."

After saying that, he gently waved his right hand, and a dragon scale the size of a palm appeared in his palm.

"These are the tokens of our dragon race, and the Dragon Rest Altars are found in every corner of this world."

"Place this scale inside, and you will be able to enter this space."

Jun Heng carefully put away the dragon scales and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Aldrich.

"Senior, I've got it."

Aldrich nodded slightly, and then the two of them exited the treasure vault space.

As they reappeared in the main hall, the battle on Ji Yunshang's side was finally coming to an end.

Amidst the clashing sword lights, the projected form of the technique grew increasingly illusory.

Finally, with a fierce sword strike, the projection of the technique dissipated into specks of golden light.

[Ding! Successfully defeated Dragon Soul: Projection of Skill (Special BOSS), experience points increased by 500000!]

[Loot obtained: 30 Gold Coins, 1 Dragon Essence, 50 Dragon Marks]

[Trialist Yunshang Weiwan, Third Stage, Overall Score: A!]

[Rewards: 100000 Experience Points, 120 Free Attribute Points, 15 Dragon Marks]

Ji Yunshang sheathed her sword and stood there, slightly out of breath.

She turned to look at Jun Heng, a hint of inquiry in her eyes.

"You've already ended it?"

"Hmm." Jun Heng nodded. "About ten minutes earlier than you?"
