Chapter 181 Dragon King Fruit and the Ninth Order Flying Mount

Besides the Dragon King Fruit, Nie Yan discovered a dragon egg quietly lying in the ruins. This egg was oval-shaped, about the size of a washbasin, with spiral black spots all over its white shell, resembling some kind of bizarre symbol.

Nie Yan had seen quite a few dragon eggs, but this was the first time he'd encountered one like this.

"Is it a flying mount or a pet?" Nie Yan frowned in confusion. He stowed the dragon egg away in his backpack as well, planning to have it appraised first and then find it a suitable owner.

Confirming that there was nothing else of value on the ground, Nie Yan summoned his Darkwing Dragon.

The Darkwing Dragon's eyes immediately locked onto the Dragon King Fruit in Nie Yan's right hand, looking eager.

Everyone watched Nie Yan intently. Was he going to feed it? What would the Darkwing Dragon become?

Nie Yan tossed the Dragon King Fruit into the air. The Darkwing Dragon, seeing this, jumped up joyfully, catching the Dragon King Fruit in its mouth. The fruit melted instantly upon entering its mouth, turning into a liquid that flowed into the Darkwing Dragon's belly.

The Darkwing Dragon stood there quietly as streams of black light flowed over its body.

A powerful aura spread out from the Darkwing Dragon.

Under the pressure of the Darkwing Dragon's draconic might, everyone retreated. The intense air pressure felt as if it would crush their bones.

"Such strong draconic might!"

They retreated far away, closely watching the changes in the Darkwing Dragon.

The scales on the Darkwing Dragon's body peeled off one by one, slowly growing into entirely new scales, like pale purple crystals. Gradually, the color deepened, growing closer and closer to pure black, eventually becoming as black as ink. But this black was not a chaotic, lightless black; rather, it was a color similar to black diamonds.

The light radiating from the scales of the Darkwing Dragon gave people a feeling of invincibility.

The Darkwing Dragon's body was gradually growing larger, its aura constantly rising. Nie Yan could feel the barrier blocking the Darkwing Dragon's advancement shatter like dry weeds before this indomitable force.

With a whoosh, the Darkwing Dragon burst into raging black flames, its entire body enveloped in the black fire, like a phoenix. Rolling waves of heat accompanied by the power of darkness swept over everything.

Nie Yan glanced at the Darkwing Dragon's status. It had finally advanced to Tier 9!

The members of the Ni Ren Tribe looked up at the Darkwing Dragon. At this moment, the Darkwing Dragon was eight or nine yards tall, with a wingspan of more than ten yards. Its entire body was burning with black flames, like an ancient behemoth, its enormous body giving off a terrifying sense of oppression.

This guy was invincible!

"This is a Tier 9 flying mount? Amazing!"

"The Angel Corps' highest-tier flying mounts are probably only Tier 7. They have no more than twenty Tier 7 flying mounts. The attacks of Tier 6 flying mounts are completely ineffective against the Tier 9 Darkwing Dragon. This Darkwing Dragon can be invincible, right?"

They looked at the Darkwing Dragon's incredibly powerful body and couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Under Nie Yan's control, a Tier 9 flying mount would surely unleash amazing combat power. The thought of the upcoming battle with the Angel Corps over the skies of the City of Sin made everyone's blood boil. This battle would be a glorious one for the Ni Ren Tribe!

Nie Yan slightly opened his right hand, and the Darkwing Dragon suddenly disappeared, having been taken into Nie Yan's pet space.

"If we all go out, the Angel Corps can just check if the dungeon is closed to know whether we've gotten the Dragon King Fruit, and then they'll definitely be prepared. Who's willing to stay in this dungeon? As long as one person stays, the dungeon won't close temporarily, and Angelic Feather will definitely think we're still inside," Nie Yan asked, looking at everyone.

"I'll stay," Undying Scoundrel said.

Nie Yan nodded and said, "Alright, pay attention to the battle situation. As soon as my Darkwing Dragon appears, you can leave."

"I understand!" Undying Scoundrel said. His purpose in staying here was to create the illusion that they were still inside the dungeon, in order to deceive the Angel Corps.

"The rest of you, follow me, put on your cloaks, and let's quietly leave the dungeon. We can't let anyone discover us!" Nie Yan said in the team chat.

"Yes!"

His group quietly left the temple, not through the main entrance, but through a side door. It was impossible for the Angel Corps to discover them. A group of twenty-nine people left the temple, but since Undying Scoundrel was still inside the temple, the dungeon would not close. The Angel Corps players responsible for keeping watch nearby would only think that Nie Yan and the others were still inside the temple. By the time they found out, it would probably be too late!

A brilliant plan to slip away unnoticed!

The time for the agreed battle was drawing closer and closer. Inside the Doomsday Tavern, the players of the Ni Ren Tribe were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"Why hasn't Leader Nie Yan returned yet?"

"There are only a dozen minutes left before the decisive battle. Why hasn't Leader Nie Yan returned yet? If we don't show up, the Angel Corps will definitely say we're afraid to fight."

"Leader Nie Yan, please come back quickly."

Seeing the anxious appearance of the Ni Ren Tribe players below, Essence Devil and Wu Dao exchanged bitter smiles. They had tried their best to appease these team members. If Nie Yan and the others didn't show up, it would really be a disaster for morale.

Essence Devil was about to send a message to urge Nie Yan when he suddenly received a message. He looked at it, a subtle hint of joy flashing across his face. He calmly said in the group chat, "Leader Nie Yan said they're still in the dungeon and are being held up. This decisive battle will have to rely on ourselves."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard Essence Devil's words.

"Leader Devil, how can we fight without Leader Nie Yan?"

"Yeah! If Leader Nie Yan and the others don't come, we only have three Tier 7 flying mounts!"

"Does not having Leader Nie Yan make you all useless? Everyone, gather! Leader Nie Yan is being held up, but he should be able to break free soon and come support us. Even if Leader Nie Yan doesn't come, we still have to give the Angel Corps a hard time and let them know we're not to be trifled with!" Wu Dao shouted in the group chat.

Wu Dao's words quieted them down, but they were still uneasy. Could they really win without the elite team in the dungeon?

"Remember, don't fight the Angel Corps head-on this time. Fight if you can win, run if you can't. Hold on until Angel Fall's reinforcements arrive. They're already on their way!" Essence Devil said solemnly.

Under the command of Essence Devil and Wu Dao, they still gathered their teams and walked out of the Doomsday Tavern together. In the courtyard of the Doomsday Tavern, they summoned their flying mounts one after another, and hundreds of flying mounts soared into the air.

Fighting was also prohibited within a few hundred yards of the Doomsday Tavern, so they didn't have to worry about being attacked.

Essence Devil and the others stood on their flying mounts and looked towards the north of the City of Sin. The Angel Corps' flying mount troops were like a dark cloud, a dense mass of black.

The City of Sin was filled with players from various guilds or teams. Many of them were there to watch the battle, and many were there to snatch crystal cores. A crystal core from a flying mount was a huge fortune for them, enough to make many people covet it. They would be rich if they got one. There was no shortage of players from the Ni Ren Tribe and the Angel Corps in this City of Sin. They were also there to snatch crystal cores. These crystal cores were good stuff, so they couldn't fall into the hands of others.

The appearance of the Ni Ren Tribe's flying troops caused a commotion throughout the City of Sin. The Ni Ren Tribe had indeed appeared as promised. More than 80% of the Ni Ren Tribe's and Angel Corps' air power was concentrated here. This would be a grand and spectacular battle of the ages!

"Who do you think will win?"

"That's hard to say. It looks like the Angel Corps has a better chance of winning. Their flying mount troops are endless, at least fifteen or sixteen hundred, while the Ni Ren Tribe only seems to have about a thousand. The Ni Ren Tribe's air power has always lagged behind the Angel Corps. That's an undeniable fact."

"That's hard to say. Although the Angel Corps' air power is stronger than the Ni Ren Tribe's, when have they ever gained an advantage over the Ni Ren Tribe? Mad Rogue Nie Yan is an anomaly!"

"It's said that Mad Rogue Nie Yan didn't show up this time. He seems to be stuck in a dungeon."

"Isn't it strange that Mad Rogue Nie Yan went to a dungeon at this time?"

"I think so too. Mad Rogue Nie Yan should appear."

"The Angel Corps has always had the advantage in air power, but the final outcome of the battle is hard to say. It's not impossible for the underdog to make a comeback. Since Mad Rogue Nie Yan dared to accept the challenge, they must have made preparations and wouldn't have rashly accepted the Angel Corps' challenge without any confidence."

The players below were discussing heatedly. When they looked up, countless flying mounts flew by in the sky, covering the sky and the sun. It was an incredibly spectacular sight.

This was definitely the most spectacular aerial battle since the game was launched.

"Everyone, listen to my orders, split into two teams, remember, fight and retreat, don't get too entangled with them!" Essence Devil said solemnly. He glanced at the message Nie Yan sent him, and he suddenly understood. Leader Nie Yan's target was those Firebirds. Indeed, the Firebirds' fire net skill was too threatening. They had to eliminate them to feel at ease. He estimated that Leader Nie Yan was waiting for an opportunity in some corner. Once there was a suitable opportunity, he would unexpectedly attack the Angel Corps' Firebirds!

The two flying forces approached each other, and everyone could feel the tense atmosphere.

Essence Devil looked towards the opposing formation. Angelic Feather was standing on top of a silvery-white dragon, looking over here. His pupils contracted slightly. That guy Angelic Feather had actually gotten a dragon flying mount as well.
