Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#366 - Wind Dragon Bloodline

"So, what's wrong? Why are you so gloomy, and why are you throwing a tantrum at me?" After finishing her chat with Nana, Alwen, and Rachel, Liang Yue leaned back on the sofa, looked at Little King Kong in front of her, and asked with a smile.

"Squeak..."

"Annoyed? Annoyed about what? I thought you missed me after six years of not seeing me~ Hehe!"

"Squeak squeak~!"

"No? What is it then?"

"Squeak squeak~ Squeak squeak squeak..."

"Can't level up the dungeon..."

......

Of course you can't level up~

Right now, Liang Yue's base world only has two dungeons: "Gran Forest" from Arad, and "Zombie Mine" from the Legend series.

The former goes without saying, it's just a beginner dungeon. In the game, it only takes about ten minutes to go through all the maps and quest lines.

Moreover, various skill books, red and blue potions, etc., can be dropped in this dungeon. The Zombie King, as the final boss, can even drop some advanced job skills.

In a proper game, it's definitely the first choice for ordinary players to grind monsters in the early stages!

However~ No matter what, the beginner's blessing of "Zombie Mine" is only for beginners.

Once players reach level twenty or so, most people will go to higher-level maps to develop, except for the occasional few who camp the boss to farm skill books.

Alwen, Little King Kong, and the others have been grinding this dungeon for six years straight. I have to say, that's definitely a kind of perseverance...

As of now, for the few who are still sticking to the base world, the initial novelty of the Zombie Mine has long passed, and the skills that needed to be farmed have already been fully stocked.

Just think~ When Little King Kong was with Liang Yue in the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world, he grew from a level one cub to over level twenty in just half a year.

Now, in the base world, it's taken him more than six whole years to reach level thirty-six~

No wonder he's depressed...

......

"Alright, since you're tired of staying at home, then you can follow me for the next few years. The plot in this world is about to begin anyway, so let me see how much you've improved in these years, little guy."

Liang Yue said, stroking the stiff fur on Little King Kong's head.

After six years of continuous grinding in the Zombie Mine, it's not just this little thing that has grown~

Thanks to the emergence of the system's improved Wind Phantom Dragon upgrade template, Nana and Rachel are now completely different after leveling themselves up to level thirty.

In addition to the ten free attribute points gained each level, the four-choose-one free attribute selection, and the all-round survival-oriented tech tree under the Don't Starve template.

With the continuous blessing of the Wind Phantom Dragon's bloodline, the two have also gained a lot of benefits.

But other than gaining a passive ability called "Eye of Truth" when they reached level five, the two of them showed deviations in the awakening of their dragon instincts during the subsequent leveling process.

The reason for this may be the problem of their respective races and their compatibility with the dragon bloodline?

For example, Rachel, as a member of the Giant Eagle tribe, has an advantage in this regard.

Basically, every five levels she gains, this little female eagle can obtain a kind of dragon instinct from the "Wind Phantom Dragon Template".

From the Eye of Truth at level five, to the Dragon Scale Guard at level ten, to the Armor-Piercing Dragon Claw Hook at level fifteen, to the Wind Dragon Guard at level twenty, and then to the Flame Dragon Breath at level twenty-five.

By the time she reached the maximum level of thirty, Rachel even directly grew a pair of dragon claws...

Not the kind that grows out of the wings like a bat dragon, but a pair of arms and dragon claws that have grown out again on the chest in front of the wings!

The current little female eagle has officially advanced into a little female dragon.

When transformed into a dragon form, she will appear as a dragon eagle covered in blue-green scales.

Except for the head, which still retains the shape of an eagle's beak, even the tail, which was originally covered with feathers, has now turned into a thick dragon tail.

In terms of size, she has also grown from a wingspan of ten meters to twenty-five or six meters!

If she gets a chance to return to the Hobbit world, Rachel's former clansmen may not even dare to recognize her.

However, in comparison, Nana is not as lucky as Rachel.

Apart from gaining the dragon instinct of the Eye of Truth at level five, the little girl only grew a pair of small dragon horns on her forehead when she reached level twenty.

It is said that this thing can help improve the perception of nature or something...

And at the final stage of reaching level thirty, Nana gained a kind of ice cone ability.

It's a bit like the ice thorn ability of the exclusive weapon under the "Wind Phantom Dragon Don't Starve Template", the Golden Turnip Staff, both belonging to ice abilities, but the control is more flexible.

However, although Nana's gains are not as heaven-defying as Rachel's, which is almost equivalent to directly changing her bloodline, the little girl herself is already very satisfied.

......

In the next few days, Liang Yue leisurely strolled around, taking Little King Kong to see the people and things in every corner of Konoha Village.

Various grilled meats, squid skewers, sweets, etc., bombarded him in turn.

Then, in just a few days, the little guy's original intimacy level, which had dropped by two points, unknowingly returned to the full value of one hundred points...

On the village side, Orochimaru's Sasuke retrieval plan has been launched, but no news has been sent back yet.

On the other hand, the younger generation of ninjas who were sent out to carry out reconnaissance missions have successively noticed the Akatsuki organization's frequent activities in various countries.

Hinata, Neji, Shikamaru, and the other twelve of Konoha 12, even Kakashi, Gai, and Asuma, who had just been saved by Liang Yue, are now all under orders to carry out various detections and blockades against the members of the Akatsuki organization.

However, regardless of Konoha or the other major ninja villages, they have all tacitly refrained from entering Amegakure, the Akatsuki organization's base.

During this period, Deidara, the rogue ninja from Iwagakure who always shouted that explosions were art and had once broken into Sunagakure and successfully taken away the current Kazekage, Gaara, finally completed his ultimate artistic goal.

He ended his battle with Kakashi and the others with a self-explosion...

And Sasuke, who should have received this honor, doesn't know where he's lurking now.

Without Orochimaru's gifts, Sasuke can't even gather his team members. Suigetsu, Jugo, and Karin, the members of his team in the original plot, are now all considered people of Konoha Village.

The stable, prosperous, and harmonious social environment within Konoha provides them with comfortable and peaceful living conditions.

It can be said that, apart from Karin, who might have a temporary brain fart and defect, the others have no reason to return to Sasuke's banner.

Currently, these three, along with Kimimaro, whose condition has been stabilized by Tsunade, are carrying out the capture mission regarding Sasuke under Orochimaru's leadership.

However, compared to the situation in the original plot, Itachi has now become another variable.

Because of someone's favoritism...

With Itachi's intelligence and talent, he must have successfully broken through the innate realm and obtained the so-called "Sage Art" chakra.

If these Uchiha brothers can let bygones be bygones and resolve their grudges, their combined abilities will only be stronger.
