Chapter 1508: Chapter 1508 Middle City

The Starfire Legion, led by the enchantress and others, attacked a medium-sized outpost, and then, without rest, embarked on an urgent march, leading to another great battle in the formation of fish and dragons.

Afterwards, some directly rode Giant Dragons into yet another major battle, while the rest continued their urgent march.

The team members could endure for the sake of getting the first kill, but the average soldier couldn’t handle it.

That’s why Li Yao suggested a short rest, and the Green Dragon Princess was very enthusiastic in keeping him company.

Having dealt with pressing matters, their conversation naturally turned light-hearted, ranging far and wide.

The Green Dragon Princess was amazed to discover that Li Yao could engage in any topic with her, whether it was ancient history or the history of some formidable figure, and he could discuss matters even she didn’t know about, leaving her feeling profoundly enlightened.

For instance, there were arcane secrets she was unaware of, which irked her somewhat, not out of malice but because she was an ancient being, one of the world’s mightiest dragons, and yet a high elf whose lifespan was at most a millennium knew more than she did, naturally she wanted to stump Li Yao.

However, no matter what she asked, Li Yao always had an answer, along with his unique insights, which left the Green Dragon Princess greatly astonished. Later, she simply put forth a number of historical mysteries and doubts that had persisted from the ancient times till now, and Li Yao explained each one to her, greatly impressing her.

Gradually, her competitive spirit dissipated, and she began to seek his wisdom on these enigmas, with Li Yao generously sharing his knowledge.

Even the Deputy Legion Commander and the Green Dragon Escorts behind the princess changed from initial disdain to attentively absorbing every word, their looks towards Li Yao no longer dismissive.

They naturally did not understand the terror of players; in the previous life, the game ran for ten years, with many archaeology and secret-research dedicated forum sections and history museums.

Countless individuals posted their valuable findings there, followed by specialized compilations, the culmination of years of contributions by hundreds of millions of players, then organized by eras and characters.

Eras, biographies.

As an archaeology enthusiast, Li Yao, due to being frequently hunted, often visited places with few players and naturally contributed a lot of material to the museum; likewise, he enjoyed reviewing others’ research.

As for dungeon strategies and the like, Li Yao knew quite a bit, though only the general idea. It was only with the history and secrets of The Ancient God World that he was most familiar.

After all, how could the Green Dragon Princess compare with the essence gathered over years by tens or hundreds of billions of players? Even as a dragon, she wasn’t involved in every event, and while she knew much, it paled in comparison to Li Yao.

And it wasn’t just the dragons—members of the Starfire Team who didn’t log off to rest also listened with interest.

In this way, everyone enjoyed the luxuries reserved for the fortress leaders while casually chatting.

Eight hours flew by unnoticed, and it wasn’t until it was time for Starfire to depart that everyone snapped back to reality.

"The situation is critical, and it’s a luxury to be comfortable for just a few hours. The journey is long and the mountains high, so we must take our leave now. The princess should also rest up properly; only with your injuries healed can you fight the enemy better."

Li Yao said, standing up and bowing.

A flash of reluctance and realization crossed the Green Dragon Princess’s eyes as she gave a deep bow in return: "Sir’s profound knowledge is truly humbling. I really wish a Bronze Dragon could perform a time-slowing spell for us again here, alas."

"You flatter me, Princess. I’ve merely read a bit more. The Dragon Clan may have experienced much, but they cannot know everything. Perhaps that’s what the Blue Dragon Princess realized, which is why she took the form of various races to travel," Li Yao replied.

"What a pity, with internal and external troubles, I do wish I had such an opportunity too," the Green Dragon Princess took out a pink scale, a blush passing across her face: "This was made by refining my Reverse Scale from when I was young, split into two halves, so it can connect with me. Hearing that Mister has his own territory, when I find the time, I will contact Mister and come to bother you for a visit, and you must not refuse."

Li Yao accepted it solemnly: "Your Highness gracing my humble abode is an honor, the idea of it being a bother is out of the question, I will certainly be waiting with open arms."

"Take care, Mister."

"Take care."

After finishing, Li Yao put away the Reverse Scale and turned to leave.

The Reverse Scale of the Dragon Clan, even when replaced, is treasured by the dragons, and can have various functions depending on different methods used.

The Starfire Team set out, and Fireworks teased, "Our guild leader’s charm is truly extraordinary, in just a few hours he’s got the Dragon Princess spellbound, to the point she even gave away her Reverse Scale from childhood. Did you guys see those envious, jealous, and resentful looks from the few Giant Dragon Escorts behind her, tsk tsk."

"Hehe, although I’m young, I could tell too, big brother actually hooked up with the Green Dragon Princess."

"Exactly, exactly, it’s obvious the Green Dragon Princess has taken a liking to our boss. Who cares about those Giant Dragon Escorts’ glares, just look at the way the Green Dragon Princess’s eyes were reluctant when our boss said he was leaving. If she wasn’t so busy, I bet she’d have eloped with our boss right then and there."

Everyone burst into uproarious laughter, leaving Li Yao both amused and embarrassed: "What are you all on about? This is all for gaining the Dragon Clan’s favor, making our future quests more convenient."

"Yeah, convenient, convenient enough to end up in bed. Don’t forget to share the video," Angel said lewdly.

Everyone immediately rolled their eyes, then laughed together.

The Starfire side was utterly relaxed, while the viewers were clueless, as the team could choose to turn off the live stream during downtime.

Even though it was a first kill, that didn’t mean they had to broadcast their rest time, right?

So it wasn’t until the Starfire Team resumed their journey that the broadcast resumed, leaving viewers unaware of what exactly happened in those few hours with the Dragon Clan.

The Starfire didn’t rush into the next layer but kept capturing strongholds to make progress.

Moreover, they specifically chose the strongholds that were easy to conquer, since Starfire wasn’t lacking in progress at the moment, and having too much progress wasn’t immediately beneficial.

So they pursued stability even more, and most importantly, it was clear this was a super dungeon where competing collectively for the first kills mattered.

Entering the middle layer, if a guild had too few members, they could easily be attacked by several strongholds together, a situation that had happened before.

Starfire had seen a team attacking a stronghold while the Uldaman army from another stronghold launched a surprise attack from behind, resulting in a wipeout for that team.

And Li Yao believed it was impossible for a single team to fight all the way to the final boss. The focus of this dungeon was competition.

Because after the Giant Dragon task, Starfire’s progress had almost increased by half, they naturally didn’t worry about the points and roamed the outer city.

This raid lasted a day and a half until the System’s notification said that several dozen teams had reached 10 percent progress. Only then did Starfire enter Middle City, and by that time, Starfire’s progress had already exceeded 15 percent...
