Chapter 274: A Living Corpse
Chapter 274: A Living Corpse
【Material: Dragon's Heart】
【After consumption, there is a chance to obtain Dragon Bloodline; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.】
【The heart of a Seventh Stage Dragonbeast, containing extinction power, is of high value.】
Lindsey held the newly acquired material in his hand.
When he arrived at the location where the Dragonbeast had fallen, he found a different scene from the day before. The once-mighty ruler of the Black Mountain World, the Dragonbeast, now lay in a shattered glacier pit, with only half of its body remaining, swollen and devoid of its former grandeur.
The rain poured relentlessly.
The Dragonbeast's corpse was soaked and bloated, stripped of any past dignity.
"..."
"Death, it seems, is truly impartial."
Lindsey thought of the teachings of the Death School and sighed softly. He left the 'grave' of the Dragonbeast and looked down at the glacier beneath his feet.
The Elemental Life that had emerged during the final battle had provided crucial assistance to Lindsey.
Undoubtedly, it had also borne the brunt of the Radiant Blast's explosion, shattering into fragments.
"Glacier, Elemental Life."
Lindsey pondered, reaching out to touch the glacier beneath him.
As the item information was displayed, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Like the Glacier Elemental, the Ancient Glacier Element also possessed the ability to revive.
The glacier before him was its birthplace.
Perhaps it would take a long time.
But as long as this glacier remained on the land of the Black Mountain World, the Elemental Life would eventually be able to resurrect.
As for the Stage Six Messenger's Raven, it had completely disappeared without a trace.
Its current whereabouts were unknown.
With these thoughts, Lindsey opened his Hunting Journal.
The half-corpse of the Dragonbeast provided him with a Dragon's Heart, and in his Hunting Journal, he could also claim the corresponding title and reward items.
【Title: Dragon Slayer】
【Increases damage against dragon-type creatures.】
【Drink: Dragon Honey Wine】
【A special honey wine with a golden hue, emitting an alluring fragrance and an incredibly sweet taste. This wine has a strong allure and intoxicating effect on dragon-type creatures.】
【Both sommeliers and dragon slayers would appreciate such a gift.】
"This time, I won't be called a dragon killer, will I?"
Lindsey muttered to himself.
Due to its high level, the Dragonbeast was clearly not in the same league as other prey, belonging to a different category of legendary beasts.
It was listed separately under the Legendary Beast Hunting Achievements.
【Legendary Beast Hunting Achievement: 1/3】
"The next level, huh? Spare me."
Lindsey chuckled and shook his head, then opened the map to continue scouting.
Although the Dragonbeast was dead, its might still lingered.
There were no markers around the mountain ruins, and the map was completely clear.
"Isn't anyone here?"
"I guess I'll have to check the other side."
Lindsey prepared to leave, but then he remembered something and reached down to scrape at the glacier beneath his feet.
An Arctic Crystal was indeed in his grasp.
Without hesitation, Lindsey combined the crystal, then climbed onto the Snow Wolf's back and headed towards the location where the fire had erupted earlier.
【Emblem/Material: Frost Emblem】
【When equipped, it enhances the wearer's resistance to cold; by consuming Essence, the wearer can transform into an Ice Beauty, possessing icy attributes; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.】
【Advanced Frost Emblem, a unique item, this series of emblems all have transformation effects?】
Lindsey pondered, lying on the Snow Wolf's back.
The two Snow Wolves ran across the land for half a day.
During this time, the rain gradually turned into snowflakes, and the climate was returning to its original state.
When Lindsey arrived at the designated location, the scene before him left him stunned.
This battlefield was actually the remains of the Icebound City after it had thawed.
Although the surrounding buildings had turned into complete ruins, Lindsey could still recognize the place through the traces left behind. It was a hall-like structure.
When he had sneaked through the glacier with his companions, they had come to this place, where they had set up the Unstable Entity Projection Array.
"..."
"So, the flames that exploded back then were from my flame bombs?"
Lindsey finally reacted.
He immediately realized more possibilities, and his tone became hurried as he continued, "Dig here, you two, help me out!"
Lindsey's current state was not suitable for clearing the ruins, but with his Architect's Hand ability, he could manage the situation and command the two Snow Wolves to quickly clean up the ruins.
The ground ravaged by the bombs was originally where the Teleportation Array had been quietly placed, but it had now been activated and shattered into fragments.
"..."
Lindsey remained silent, opened the map, and surveyed the surrounding area.
In the vast ruins of the snow-covered land, there was only him and the two Snow Wolves by his side, all alone.
...
In the Black Mountain World, three to five figures sat in two crowded small boats, rowing their oars as they sailed towards the distant shore.
A tall and sturdy knight stood at the bow of the boat.
His fists were clenched tightly, and his deep blue eyes were filled with determination. However, as the sky on the other side became clearer, his voice, which had been full of courage, faltered slightly.
"Is Black Mountain... gone?" The knight's expression grew even more astonished as he turned to look at the white-haired elder, Cosevilet, behind him. "Elder Cosevilet, Mr. Hanske, I remember that Oma and a young man had sneaked into Black Mountain. But now..."
The knight's expression was clearly pessimistic, as if the original rescue mission had suddenly turned into a grim task of retrieving bodies.
The elder, however, remained calm. "We are heading there, and the truth will reveal itself before our eyes."
Soon, a young man from the other boat called out to the two of them, "Elder Cosevilet, Mr. Hanske!"
"I heard the sounds of land ahead, everyone can prepare to land!"
The knight asked, "How's the situation?"
The young man on the other boat closed his eyes and listened carefully. After a few seconds, he spoke again, "I sense the presence of monsters and... and the stench of resurrected undead!"
His voice was tense as he sensed the presence of enemies.
But then, to his surprise, he realized something even more unexpected—he had forgotten to row the oar in his hand!
His eyes widened in disbelief as he shouted to everyone on both boats, "I, I'm not sure if I'm mistaken!"
"But, but in the ruins ahead, it seems like, er, there's also a... living person?"
