Monster collectors on the cross-platform

Huo did a warm-up exercise before jumping into the lava.

A few minutes later, Huo also successfully found the treasure that the red dragon had stored in a cavity inside the magma.

As Huo Huan had predicted, the Red Dragon's treasure contained nothing particularly valuable; aside from some gold, it mostly consisted of glittering ores.

Chapter 197 Deep in the Swamp

After dealing with all of the red dragon's treasures, Huo flew out of the lava pool.

Shaking off the lava clinging to his body, Huo rose into the air and began searching for the swamp.

The unfinished Dragon's Nest on the panel once again confirmed Huo Huan's conjecture. All that's left is to find the swamp, where the Black Dragon is most likely located.

After leaving the crater, Huo changed direction again.

However, Huo was not as lucky as last time. It took him nearly two hours to finally find a swamp.

Upon arriving above the swamp, what first caught Huo's attention was not the black dragon, but the lizardmen, who were also inhabitants of the swamp.

Lizardmen are also a race that lives in swamps. As evil creatures, they are favored by black dragons. If there really is a black dragon nearby, then these lizardmen must be its subordinates.

Thinking of this, Huo didn't rush to show himself, but instead hid in the air and observed the actions of these lizardmen.

As a dragon with a large number of subordinates, the Black Dragon certainly wouldn't hunt for himself. If these lizardmen are indeed the Black Dragon's subordinates, then they would definitely hunt for him and offer him as tribute.

The swamp is quite large, and it would take Huo a lot of effort to find it himself, so it's better to wait a bit.

The lizardman tribe in front of us is quite large, numbering over a thousand including men, women, and children.

Right now, a group of lizardmen are fishing on the river with crudely made nets, while some of the female lizardmen are making wooden weapons.

The nearby resources seemed plentiful, and before long, a group of lizardmen returned laden with their catch.

These lizardmen, having reaped a bountiful catch, did not rush to distribute the food. Instead, a group of able-bodied men gathered their catch and headed deeper into the swamp.

Seeing the lizardman's actions, Huo had a sudden realization; it seemed he had guessed correctly.

These lizardmen in front of me are indeed the Black Dragon's subordinates. They are here to make offerings, which saves me the trouble of searching.

Huo was still thinking to himself, but he didn't stop moving and continued to follow them while remaining hidden in the air.

Before long, Huo followed the group of lizardmen to a location near the center of the swamp.

The leading lizardman stepped forward, knelt down holding a large fish, and then began to chant in lizard language.

"Gurgle, gurgle," a string of dense bubbles rose from the swamp as the lizardman chanted loudly.

The next moment, a ferocious black dragon head appeared in the swamp.

With the appearance of the black dragon, a large number of the surrounding lizardmen immediately knelt down.

With a roar, the lizardmen's offerings officially began.

Seeing this, Huo didn't stay hidden in the air any longer. The main character had appeared, and it was time to strike.

Huo Huan's appearance immediately attracted the black dragon's attention. After all, Huo Huan's vitality was too eye-catching, and his strange appearance in his armed form was even more striking.

"Human, why are you here?" Huo Huan's sudden appearance immediately alerted the black dragon. Instead of making a move, the black dragon began to probe Huo Huan's intentions.

"Why? Naturally, it's to recruit you."

Before Huo Huan could finish speaking, several strong acid arrows suddenly shot out from the swamp, heading straight for Huo Huan's location.

Huo hadn't expected the black dragon in front of him to be so unethical, launching a sneak attack before the man could even finish speaking.

Fortunately, Huo had already encountered the Black Dragon in the Underdark and knew what kind of creature it was, so he was prepared.

A fire shield appeared in front of Huo Huan, blocking all of the black dragon's acid arrows.

Now that the enemy had made their move, Huo naturally wouldn't stand idly by and let them do as they pleased. He folded his wings and charged directly towards the black dragon in the swamp.

Facing Huo Huan's charge, the Black Dragon showed no fear, opening its mouth wide and spitting out a mouthful of strong acidic breath.

Despite the black dragon's powerful acid breath, Huo ignored it and continued charging forward, blocking with both hands.

A hissing sound rang out as Huo Huan's skin and battle armor began to slowly dissolve under the strong acid. However, this was enough time for Huo Huan to rush to the black dragon.

With a "whoosh," a bright blade of light flashed, and the black dragon tried its best to dodge, but it still couldn't completely avoid the attack. One of its horns broke off under Huo Huan's slash.

Seeing that its horn had been severed with a single blow, the black dragon's hair stood on end (if it had any), and it dared not underestimate any attack from the human before it.

Huo was not surprised that the attack was dodged. After all, it was a dragon. It would have been a real surprise if he had actually beheaded it with a single blow.

Seeing the black dragon starting to distance itself, Huo drew his sword and gave chase.

In an instant, a man and a dragon chased and fled, with flashes of swords and strong acid flying everywhere, making the entire swamp incredibly lively.

However, the black dragon's speed was ultimately no match for Huo Huan's, and it wasn't long before Huo Huan caught up with it.

Just as Huo Huan raised his sharp hand chop to strike the black dragon's neck, suddenly, another dragon breath appeared from Huo Huan's side and back, striking Huo Huan directly in the back.

The green dragon breath enveloped Huo Huan's entire body, not only corroding his skin but also penetrating directly into his body.

Is this poison?

Sensing his body suddenly becoming weak, and at the same time, this force began to damage his body, Huo realized that he had been poisoned.

Turning his head to look in the direction from which the dragon's breath had come, a green dragon appeared in Huo Huan's field of vision.

Are two giant dragons joining forces?

Huo glanced at the somewhat surprised look on Heilong's face, then dismissed the guess.

It seems the black dragon was unaware of the green dragon's existence. It's likely that the green dragon learned of Huo Huan's dragon-slaying activities and, not wanting to sit idly by and wait for its death, launched a sneak attack while Huo Huan was dealing with the black dragon.

The Green Dragon's sneak attack was undoubtedly successful. Huo had never expected that the Green Dragon would appear in the Black Dragon's territory and join forces with the Black Dragon to deal with him.

Under the corrosive effects of the toxins, Huo was completely at a disadvantage for a time.

However, the toxins in Huo Huan's body were quickly cleared out by the enormous life energy within him.

Without the toxins' corrosive effects, Huo gradually began to take control of the situation. Even when facing two opponents, he held his own and quickly gained the upper hand.

Seeing the situation gradually turn against them, the black dragon and the green dragon began to fight desperately, and two dragon languages ​​rang out one after another.

The next instant, a shockwave filled with destructive power erupted from the black dragon's mouth.

With a "whoosh," the shockwave traveled at an extremely fast speed, reaching Huo Huan in just an instant.

In just a moment, Huo Huan's battle armor shattered completely, and his entire body burst into a bloody mist as if he had been run over.

At the same time, the black dragon's aura began to weaken uncontrollably.

On the other side, the green dragon's attack also arrived. The green dragon stretched out its green-glowing claws and grabbed at Huo, who was out of control.

A strange power entered Huo Huan's body through the green dragon's claw. The next second, Huo Huan's body began to rot and deteriorate like expired food, as if it would turn into a pile of rotten flesh in the next second.

Chapter 198 Trial Ends

Noticing the abnormality in his body, Huo quickly retreated and then peeled away the rotten part.

Fortunately, Huo acted quickly enough that the putrefied toxins had not yet spread.

Immediately afterwards, Huo Huan's life energy surged, rapidly repairing his injuries.

By the time the green dragon caught up again, Huo's injuries had been mostly healed.

The ultimate move was used but failed to achieve the desired results, and both dragons quickly found themselves in dire straits.

Black Dragon, in particular, was weakened after using up its dragon magic and was soon killed by Huo Huan.

Having lost its allies and becoming a lone dragon, the green dragon couldn't hold out for long and soon followed in the footsteps of the black dragon.

Huo was still flying in mid-air, calming his somewhat disordered breathing.

The sudden burst of power from the two dragons really startled Huo.

The black dragon's shockwave was alright; it only seriously injured Huo, but the recovery of his life energy was not a big deal.

The main concern is the corrupting power of the green dragon. Huo is still unsure whether his life energy can save him if his entire body is corrupted.

If they can't be saved, it means the Dragon's Nest mission has failed, and we'll have to sacrifice the expensive escape pods.

However, in the end, Huo still won the victory.

As the dragon's corpse lay on the swamp, the notification sound from the network rang out at just the right moment.

[Network notification: You have successfully passed the first trial of the Road to Legend – Dragon's Nest. Rewards are being calculated...]

[Network notification: Subsequent trials will unlock after players reach level 16]

Is there only one trial stage right now?

Looking at the notification from the network, Huo couldn't help but think to himself.

Since the subsequent trials have not yet begun, Huo doesn't need to pay too much attention to them for the time being.

Huo took out the book of his collection and then put the two dragon corpses into it.

Race Name: Black Dragon

Introduction: As the most volatile and despicable species among the colored dragons, the black dragon will collect the remains of the dead along with their treasures. The black dragon detests the rise of the weak and rejoices in the collapse of the humanoid kingdom.

Poisonous Breath: Dragon breath is a common technique used by dragons and is a skill possessed by every dragon. The green dragon possesses poisonous dragon breath, which, when equipped, grants the player 6 poisonous breaths per day.

The characteristics of the green and black dragons are not much different from the previous dragons, except that their breath attributes are different.

In this way, Huo successfully collected all the colorful dragon artifacts. The breath attack also has 5 different attributes, allowing for more flexible use in different situations.

Now that the trial was over, Huo Huan didn't plan to stay any longer. After exiting his armed form, Huo Huan took Elise and returned to the Gravekeeper's Hut.

Back at the cabin, Huo first summoned Idris and Leticia, then contacted the Hope Restaurant, preparing for a big meal.

For Huo, a delicious meal after a battle is a good way to relax.

While waiting for the food, Huo didn't rest either; he went back to the bathroom to take a good shower.
