Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 74 The Golden Fleece and the Poison Dragon of Colchis

"Look, this is Ragnarok." Lu Mingze's voice drifted out from behind the white light. "Brother, do you know what whale fall is?"

"I don't know."

Lu Mingfei pretended to be stupid, but in fact he had read the novel illustrations before.

"When the enormous whale dies, it sinks to the bottom of the sea. Its carcass will naturally attract countless predators to fight over it. In the end, only the bones and rotting flesh will sink to the bottom of the sea, and then continue to support a cycle system mainly composed of decomposers. This process takes hundreds of years. The fall of the two gods has nourished this forest for hundreds of thousands of years," Lu Mingze said softly.

"Oh, it's so long." Lu Mingfei gave the most direct and concise review.

"Brother, you've been playing the clown for too long, you're getting too into character," Lu Mingze said with a soft laugh, shaking his head.

"What clown? Who are you calling a clown?"

Lu Mingfei slapped his thigh and made a big fuss, but for the sake of the cola and popcorn, he ultimately didn't stand up.

"How could I possibly scold you? You're my brother." The little devil smiled. "You know perfectly well what I want to say, but you always like to use rubbish to cover it up."

"Bullshit, we're not even acquainted!" Lu Mingfei scoffed and lowered his head.

He didn't dare look at Lu Mingze. This little devil had given him cola and popcorn today, and even put together this all-around immersive blockbuster, clearly making him a treasure hunter.

But he's not Schwarzenegger, and he doesn't have two machine guns on his shoulders. Where is he going to rob anything good?

Look at the epic scene just now, it was a true clash of heaven and earth, the kind where whoever went there would die. He's only a minor Soul Venerable right now, he could easily die just walking around in this forest, let alone searching for treasure here.

"Don't worry, I'm not some kind of devil. You're my brother, I would never hurt you," Lu Mingze said.

"Tch, all talk and no action." Lu Mingfei's eyes darted around, and from the implication in Lu Mingze's words, it seemed like there was some easy money to be made.

These are divine artifacts, and there are two of them! Which fine young man hasn't dreamed of wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber, cutting his way from the beginner village to the Heavenly Palace?

And if he really gets the artifact, his speed of clearing the game will definitely increase by a lot, right?

"Whether what I said is true or not, you'll find out in time, brother." Lu Mingze snapped his fingers with a smile.

Suddenly, the world turned upside down, and the world before them was submerged in a primeval green. Even the stands where they were standing were covered with countless vines and wild grasses. At the same time, a mist rushed towards Lu Mingfei.

Every time Lu Mingze pulled off this move, Lu Mingfei felt a pang of envy. Although he knew it was an illusion, he had to admit that this move was truly impressive.

"But before that, let's go through the routine."

"What process? Oh, right, I just absorbed a soul ring. Look at its quality, what kind of spirit word can I exchange it for this time?" Lu Mingfei said, then quickly looked at Lu Mingze. Once is unfamiliar, twice is familiar, and this is the third time, so Lu Mingfei is no longer beating around the bush.

Although the little devil wasn't a good person at heart, the two of them were now in the same boat, and he had actually begun to lower his guard against the other a little.

It's definitely not because he still wants to drink Coke!

"Brother, didn't you want the wind attribute? The Eye of the Wind King has been delivered. You know the rules for signing for it. I'll use the soul of that little pterosaur to settle the payment." The little devil waved his hand lightly, and a roll of parchment turned to ashes in the air, and the transaction was immediately completed.

"The Eye of the Wind King?" Lu Mingfei scratched his head. The name sounded like it matched Jun Yan quite well. Could he turn his explosive grenade into a flamethrower in the future?

"Alright, alright, the deal's done. Let's continue talking about this great treasure." Lu Mingze stood up. "It's simple. It's right here right under our feet. You just need to find this place, brother. Leave the rest to me."

As Lu Mingze spoke, he gently lifted his foot and stepped on the rock wall beneath his feet.

"Wait, you've found it, can't you just draw me a map?" Lu Mingfei began to carefully examine the mountain along the cliff face. He soon noticed a valley halfway up the mountain shrouded in thick fog, with the smell of sulfur emanating from it, as if there was a hot spring inside.

"I've already taken you through the game in person, which is practically cheating. You're a gaming expert, brother. What's the point of playing if you just follow the walkthrough? Don't you think so?" Lu Mingze said with a mischievous grin.

"Why do I have a feeling you're trying to trick me?" Lu Mingfei muttered to himself. These devils are all people who love to watch the drama unfold.

"Standardizations are all the work of immature seniors. You're overthinking it, brother," Lu Mingze said in a serious tone, spouting nonsense.

However, Lu Mingfei wasn't so easily fooled this time: "Come on, don't I know you? If it's just about navigating the map, why are you smiling so broadly?"

Years of gaming experience told Lu Mingfei that there was definitely something guarding a great treasure in this kind of place. Don't forget, this is the Soul Beast Forest. There's not much else, but you can catch and kill tons of wild elite monsters and bosses.

"Hehe, it's nothing really, brother. Have you heard the story of the Golden Fleece?" Lu Mingze shrugged, revealing a smile that was hard to tell whether it was disappointment or relief.

Lu Mingfei does have some talent and intuition when it comes to game strategies.

"The Golden Fleece?" Lu Mingfei looked slightly confused. He felt the name was familiar, like a story from Greek mythology, but he couldn't recall the specific details.

"This is one of the most famous chapters in Greek mythology. The Golden Fleece was guarded by the dragon of Colchis, and the heroes stole it while the dragon was dozing off," Lu Mingze explained.

"You mean this great treasure is also guarded by a poisonous dragon?"

Lu Mingfei was shocked. Although he felt that his martial soul had a special attack against dragon-type soul beasts, it did not mean that dragon-type soul beasts were weak. On the contrary, they were incredibly strong. The poisonous dragon that could occupy such a place must be a soul beast that was at least tens of thousands of years old. Not to mention that he was just a weakling, even a Soul Douluo probably couldn't withstand it.

"Goodbye, let me out. I'll do this side quest later." Lu Mingfei decisively backed down. He definitely couldn't afford to offend him now, so he decided to slip away first.

"Brother, weren't you quite clever just now? I gave you a hint, how come you can't understand it now?" Lu Mingze shook his head.

"A hint?" Lu Mingfei was taken aback, his mind racing. Was there another way to trigger this side quest besides combat?

"Nap? Wait, do spirit beasts sleep too?" Lu Mingfei felt like he had grasped something; those game developers love to pay homage to mythological stories.

Since Lu Mingze said that, there must be some loophole that can be exploited.
