Awoo gripped the fishing rod with its claws and pulled it up forcefully, accompanied by a splashing sound.

A small, hairless monster resembling a monkey emerged from the water, pulling on a fishing line.

It was extremely ugly, with a wide mouth filled with sharp teeth, and small, round eyes that gleamed with an eerie light.

"???"

Awoo's eyes widened:

"Where is the evildoer?"

Li Xia reacted quickly, kicking the monster back into the water.

After glancing at the system notification, he opened his mouth, feeling a sense of barely suppressed a laugh:

"Awoo, you caught a...water monkey."

Water...water monkey?

He roared in fury, his beard trembling with rage:

"Your Highness, don't stop me! What kind of water monkey dares to yell at the Dragon King? I'll beat it to death!"

"Meow!"

Suddenly, Heitan cried out, and Li Xia and Aowu turned around to see Heitan's fishing rod shaking violently.

My own "This cast is guaranteed to hit" float was bobbing up and down in the water.

As if by prior arrangement, they all took the bait at the same time.

Li Xia reached out and gripped the fishing rod, his arm muscles bulging like iron blocks, and immense power was transmitted through the rod into the water.

"Splash—"

Amidst the loud splashing sound, a rather exquisite-looking object broke through the water and was lifted to the surface.

Li Xia looked at the exceptionally exquisite jar and could hardly believe it.

Has it been transferred to a new location?

【Bone Altar】

[Category: Unknown Oddity/Cursed Item (Expert Level Assessment)]

[Ominous: Will bring misfortune and reduce luck to the wearer]

[Resentment: It will appear near the holder in a mystical manner and cannot be discarded]

[Synopsis: This jar containing the skull of the deceased was filled with immense resentment. Its previous owner threw it into the sea, but it reappeared in the owner's home, causing the entire family to die before being disposed of at sea using special methods.]

Li Xia: ...........

It's ominous, isn't it? It's absorbing bad luck, isn't it? You can't throw it away, right...?

With a blank expression, he drew the flintlock pistol. The moment the flintlock pistol left its holster, faint wails and shrill cries filled the air, along with unrestrained, maniacal laughter.

Aowu and Black Charcoal felt a chill run down their spines; they had never seen Unlucky actually fire a gun before.

Just looking at this gun, one can sense a kind of desperate danger.

Is this gun... something a normal person could use?

He pressed the muzzle of the gun of misfortune directly against the bone altar, and in a daze, the faint wails and cries in the air seemed to suddenly grow louder.

'Kara', 'Kara'.

Cracks appeared on the walls of the bone jar. The jar shook twice and then suddenly fell over, rolling laboriously toward the water.

It seems they actually intend to run away on their own!

A vague mix of misfortune and anger welled up in Li Xia's mind—I'm already begging for food, and now my luck is going to get even worse?

A man, a dragon, and a cat watched as the bone altar limped and struggled to roll towards the water's surface.

Just as it was about to reach the finish line, it finally couldn't hold on any longer and shattered into pieces. Immediately afterwards, a painful scream seemed to echo in the air.

The entire jar turned into a pool of foul-smelling black water and disappeared.

Misfortune trembled twice more before finally subsiding, sending a vague thought to Li Xia at the same time:

"Hungry...hungry...hungry..."

Li Xia silently put the curse back in; there was nothing he could do about it. There weren't that many world-destroying attacks waiting for him...

As your strength increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to maximize your luck stat if your ultimate move can't kill you instantly.

Sometimes it's just a symbolic rise, as a way of giving the enemy some face in building up their ultimate attack...

"Meow!"

Black Charcoal suddenly cried out, stretching out its paw and raising it for Li Xia to see.

A delicate bell was clearly visible in its kitten paw.

The Silent Bell

[Grade: Green - Ultimate]

【Origin: Unknown】

【Category: Special Category/Jewelry】

Silent Bell: Absorbs all sounds produced by the wearer's walking and activities into the bell.

[Comment: This bell was highly anticipated by its owner, who hoped it would help her find her cat. Unfortunately, she seems to have confused the amplifying magic rune with the receiving magic rune.]

Excellent item! Quite a good piece of equipment!

The key is still the accessories!

Li Xia and Aowu exchanged a glance, seemingly both seeing the frustration in each other's eyes.

What did they catch?!

"Actually... I should be considered quite lucky, after all, I'm an auspicious creature..."

It whimpered softly, knowing where the problem lay. As the outer vessel of transcendence, its fate, like transcendence itself, was closely intertwined with that of the first generation.

In other words, if Li Xia is lucky, its luck will be good; if Li Xia is unlucky, its luck will be bad...

"Meow?"

Li Xia waved her hand: "Take it, it suits you very well."

Black Charcoal also has a skill called [Stealth Defense Technique (Passive): It will disappear from the monster's sight, and will reduce hitstun by 60% when hit].

This is a skill that both support and auxiliary Palicoes possess, and it also appears in the game.

However, he was exceptionally good at studying charcoal.

Adding this bell would make it a perfect match. Once we get equipment or a skill that can even mask scents, it will achieve a very high level of stealth.

"Comrade! Comrade!"

Just as Aowu and Lixia were preparing to regroup and try again, the observer came running down the hillside in a flurry of activity.

He said, panting heavily:

"A storm is gathering on the distant horizon! The Steel Dragon should be back soon!"

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Tomorrow is Lunar New Year's Eve!

Another year of companionship has passed; time really flies.

I'll see how things go tomorrow. My brother-in-law is moving into a new house and wants us to come for a housewarming party. I'll probably be at their house all day. I'll see if I can write anything then.

Wishing all readers a prosperous Year of the Snake!

Another year has passed, and this is the second time Li Pei has written New Year's greetings.

First of all, I wish all my readers a happy and prosperous New Year and a joyous family reunion.

In the new year, may everyone have the courage to explore uncharted territories, pursue the dreams deep within their hearts, encounter only beauty, obtain only what they desire, be full of energy every day, and reap their own wonderful rewards!

I also want to thank every reader who has been with me until now. Thank you sincerely.

Thank you everyone for your support, thank you for your subscriptions and monthly passes!

I really didn't expect this. First, I didn't expect to be criticized so badly at the beginning, and second, I didn't expect the average daily price to rise.

From finishing the previous book to starting the new one, there was a gap of about four months. During those four months, I was not idle; I was working on the beginning of the new book.

The final version was revised again and again; eleven themes were adapted into more than thirty different opening sequences...

Later on, the editor got tired, and so did I. We both felt a destructive urge, and decided to just leave the beginning of the new book to us however we wanted.

I don't know why, but I just can't write well at the beginning. I have to write 100,000 or 200,000 words before I can gradually get into a rhythm that I'm more familiar with.

I'll slowly lay the groundwork for the story and gradually write what I want to say.

So I am so grateful to every reader who has followed this book; I don't even know how to express it in words.

Alright, I'll kowtow to everyone!

thank!

Same old rules as always!

Here, Lipei, along with Little Carp and Black Charcoal, wishes everyone a Happy New Year!

Wishing everyone academic success, career fulfillment, love happiness, and good health for yourselves and those you care about in the new year!

thank you all!

Chapter 89 The Dragon in Charge of Storms

A storm was gathering in the distant sky, with dark clouds like surging black waves, piling up and rolling in.

They seemed to be driven by an invisible giant hand, converging at an astonishing speed, gradually pressing down and slamming into the earth.

The once azure sky was rapidly swallowed up by these surging clouds, forming a strange and spectacular dividing line at the boundary.

A massive tornado stretched down from the thick clouds on the horizon, connecting the clouds to the ground, and swirling around it with debris.

Just looking at this scene gives you a feeling that the end of the world is coming.

These are the Elder Dragons, mobile natural disasters. Their individual strength may have an upper limit, but most Elder Dragons have the power to manipulate nature.

They can easily trigger the destruction of cities and alter the terrain by invoking nature.

In Li Xia's right eye, the Scott Auxiliary Combat System was rapidly zooming in on the scene, and a dark shadow seemed to be faintly visible within the massive tornado.

And it grew at an extremely rapid pace, plowing furrows in the ground along its path, uprooting grass and trees to reveal the dark soil beneath.

The animals, mixed with debris, were swept along by the gale.

"It can create a huge wind field...over a vast area..."

Aibo pulled out his precious notebook, lowered his head and began writing furiously, then suddenly asked:

"Partner... are we really okay with this kind of monster?"

She picked up the notebook and showed Li Xia the information recorded in it about the other hunters' encounters with the Steel Dragon.

Li Xia silently recited a few words in his mind:

"Entangled in a storm...it's impossible to get even half a step closer to it; a monster that appears accompanied by a raging tempest..."

"The outer shell is extremely hard; weapons deflect upon impact... even heavy crossbows cannot penetrate it..."

"Heavy casualties—the head seems to be a weak point; attacking the head can reduce the wind pressure..."

Just reading these records, one can almost feel the despair and helplessness of the team that encountered the Steel Dragon.

Sharp weapons could not penetrate the metal scales, and strong wind pressure hindered their progress.

The high-pressure air cannons tore the bodies of their close companions to shreds, and the thick mist of blood was blown away by the wind in the wind field.
