Chapter 009: The Show of Strength in the Dragon Palace

If it were truly a high-level Dragon King, with a single ice spike descending, the three of them would likely be completely annihilated

It is quite amusing to mention that this entire matter stemmed from a squatting action by Yin Changsheng

Fortunately, he quickly suppressed the shock, adjusted his mindset, and sincerely retreated, his gaze constantly surveying the surrounding strange rocks. These strange rocks were of excellent quality; at least the ice spikes could not penetrate them, only creating a large hole.

Passive Skill

What is this called? This is called "the early bird catches the worm"; anyway, just shift the blame first and say it has nothing to do with oneself

Amidst the vigilant gazes of the two individuals, a ripple of water swirled.

Resist fear

Yin Changsheng looked at Morris and Liu Changyun with a bewildered expression: "Where is this?"

After much deliberation, it was ultimately decided that Morris would lead the way, followed by Yin Changsheng in the center, with Liu Changyun bringing up the rear in this formation

Although it was said to be a close call without any real danger, Yin Changsheng was still frightened; this time, he was genuinely scared. If such a large ice spike had fallen on him, it would have certainly been fatal

Even if both individuals exert their full strength of fighting spirit and internal energy, they are unable to escape and are directly pulled down

They remain quite vigilant, fearing that there may be monsters in the river, and are currently discussing it.

Liu Changyun pondered for a moment and nodded slightly, "Perhaps."

If it were only this, it would be one thing, but on the Dragon King's hand, there was actually a growing ice spike.

Yin Changsheng looked at the ice spike and hurriedly took a step back. Caught off guard, he slipped and fell directly to the ground, resembling a scene of a falling wild goose.

A gigantic longsword stands tall upon the strange rocks, while seaweed dances continuously with the ocean currents, and various rare corals and diverse sea fish swim past them

The two individuals were somewhat bewildered, wondering what was happening and how they suddenly ended up in the water. No, it should be said that they were in the sea. Instinctively, one of them took a taste of the water, and it was salty

The moment he entered the Dragon Palace, he immediately learned the Berserk skill

Yin Changsheng suddenly let go, and amidst Liu Changyun's puzzled gaze, he fell into the river. The water, which should have reached Yin Changsheng's chest, completely submerged him, which was simply impossible

In response to this, Yin Changsheng felt no envy; having suffered from malnutrition for many years, how could he grow any taller? Surviving was already a fortunate thing, so why bother with such trivial matters?

Liu Changyun's expression was grave as he drew his long sword. Upon closer inspection, one could still see traces of wind swirling around the blade. He had also revealed his trump card, for it is important to understand that infusing internal energy into a weapon and using it to amplify oneself are entirely different concepts

They do not know what has happened, but Yin Changsheng knows.

He utilized all the divine arts at his disposal

The two individuals can be considered quite trustworthy, at least in terms of their verbal promises. Although the matter of protection can only be described as casual, they did not send Yin Changsheng to probe for mines or anything of the sort

"But where is this place?" Liu Changyun looked around at the surroundings, which were certainly extraordinary

Before the Dragon King even makes an appearance, he has already given them a warning, and it is likely that both Morris and Liu Changyun are also shocked.

Perhaps this is something that must be experienced when crossing the river. Morris glanced at Yin Changsheng; he did not believe that this was the doing of Yin Changsheng, given his capabilities. Therefore, he was more inclined to think that it was a trap or something similar

Out of a sense of courtesy typical of those in the martial world, I couldn't help but glance at Yin Changsheng. However, Yin Changsheng wore an expression that was utterly harmless, mixed with a hint of lingering shock and fear, effectively showcasing a myriad of emotions.

The moment he finished learning the skill, Morris and Liu Changyun also fell down simultaneously

Liu Changyun is also about 2 meters tall, making him significantly taller than Yin Changsheng.

Morris unleashed a surge of fighting spirit, consecutively employing three divine techniques. An illusory armor materialized above his plate armor, and the astonishment in his eyes was suppressed. Meanwhile, the warhammer in his hand also emanated fighting spirit

Moreover, this Dragon King is still a Junior Dragon King. After the character reaches level 21, the originally Junior Dragon King, which could only drop Five Spirit equipment, will transform into a Senior Dragon King that drops the Nine Ring Zen Staff, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, and the Seven Star Guardian. Its strength will likely be even more terrifying

Yin Changsheng relied on luck, while Morris and Liu Changyun depended on their strength; one had exceptional agility, and the other had quick reflexes, easily evading the attack.

The seemingly chaotic environment, however, has not affected them in the slightest, which makes them rather peculiar

The river water is not deep, just reaching a little above Morris's waist, and up to Yin Changsheng's chest level. It must be said that Morris is indeed tall, at least around 2.3 meters, and it is unclear how he grew to such height

Fury Lv1: Increases critical hit rate by 2%

From the previous red and blue souls, as well as the blue bottle and magic value, it is evident that this aspect is very well restored

Faith Armor

Before they could extend their hands, the two individuals discovered that a tremendous suction force was emanating from beneath their feet, rendering them completely unable to resist

Morris also reacted, turning around to see Yin Changsheng entering the water, and instinctively reached out to rescue him

The Hammer of Sanctions

Although neither of the two had ever heard the sound of a dragon's roar, a creature capable of producing such a sound must be extraordinary

Why is there a sea beneath this small river

Before the Dragon King could arrive, a spike of ice was already hurtling towards the three individuals.

More importantly, they are actually able to breathe and walk freely in the sea, just as they do on land

After clearing away two groups of monkey demons and little monkeys, Yin Changsheng looked at the small river ahead, while Morris and Liu Changyun walked in front of him, preparing to cross the river

With one hand grasping Morris's shield, I moved forward using Morris's strength.

However, it was precisely in this manner that the icicle grazed his hair and flew past, landing on a peculiar rock not far away. In an instant, ice shards splattered, striking the three individuals.

So he gave it a try, and as a result, it really worked

The Boss gorilla in the first level is simply worlds apart from the Dragon King

Yin Changsheng glanced at his apostle information, and a passive skill box appeared under the skills section. Within the passive skill box, the Berserk skill emerged, increasing the critical hit rate by 2%. This surprised Yin Changsheng, as he had originally thought it would be at most 1%.

As for Yin Changsheng's opinion, neither of the two took it to heart

Before Morris and Liu Changyun could discuss the matter thoroughly, a dragon's roar echoed, causing both of them to change their expressions.

A dragon king, dressed in a dragon robe, with a dragon's head and a human body, emerged from the waves, dragging a dragon's tail behind him

He originally intended to take a gamble; he vaguely remembered the trick to access the hidden level in "Dream of the Westward Journey 1" from the second stage, Water Curtain Cave to Dragon Palace, which was to crouch in the first river to gain entry
