Chapter 99
Most of her body was covered in light blue scales, which sparkled like jewels under the sunlight. The white underbelly of the dragon was adorned with silver, ice crystal-like patterns, and a teardrop-shaped white gem was embedded in the center of her forehead.
Gorgeous, imposing, and noble, the chubby belly of the dragon added a touch of cuteness, making her resemble a work of art.
This dragon—she was hers!
**Chapter 127: Everyone Has Their Burdens, So No One Should Point Fingers**
In her previous life, Yu Xunge had always adored this dragon. Beautiful and spirited, the most important thing was that she never bullied her. Just thinking about it made Yu Xunge eager to start battling her.
She stayed at the back, paddling along, occasionally firing a blank shot at the ground.
A blank shot meant she aimed her gun at the empty space, made a “biu” sound, and considered it done—bullets cost money, after all!
Or she would occasionally perform an exaggerated roll, as if dodging the skills of the young dragon fifty meters away.
With the undead squad taking the lead, Yu Xunge dashed around the battlefield. She needed to light up the map of this area so that when it came time for her one-on-one with the young dragon, she could freely use her Shadow Step to evade its skills.
At the same time, Yu Xunge was observing the dragon's attack patterns.
Single-target skills, area-of-effect skills, flight altitude, the little movements before casting spells, how the wind from its wings affected the arrows and bullets aimed at her… As she was learning through observation, she suddenly sensed something was off. Turning her head, she found all the nearby undead were staring at her, waving their weapons in the air while keeping their eyes fixed on her.
Yu Xunge: ?
Am I in some kind of ancient drama?
Looking up again, she saw the dragon breathing fire into the sky, but its eyes slid to the corner, sneaking a glance at her.
Oh, so I’m the only outsider here, huh?
One of the undead soldiers questioned, “Soldier! Why aren’t you attacking?”
Yu Xunge silently tucked her two guns into the tactical belt at her waist and replied with righteous indignation, “Ahem… I can’t bring myself to attack; a dragon’s life is still a life.”
Ah, this isn’t how the script goes.
The undead were bewildered at seeing a Blue Star person for the first time.
Blue Star people are this easy to fool?
The undead captain immediately asked, “Then are you willing to sign a peace treaty with us?”
If it weren’t for the **Malice Detector** on Yu Xunge’s chest vibrating wildly, she might have believed it.
But she didn’t want to waste time. Although both sides were acting just now, she had gathered information on a dozen of the dragon’s commonly used skills and figured out its defense and attack power, concluding that it could fight.
At this point, she had already lit up most of the map within twenty meters of the dragon. As for the closer areas, she could use the **Soros Pocket Watch** for a quick teleport later.
Unfortunately, her scouting skill could only reveal the dragon’s divine gifts and attributes, not the specific skills it would use, or else she wouldn’t be in such a predicament.
Yu Xunge didn’t bother with small talk and directly used Shadow Step to teleport to the entrance of the dungeon, casting an invisibility spell to leave the instance.
After waiting outside for two minutes, Yu Xunge charged back in.
…
By this time, the dungeon had reset, and the undead on the mountain had returned to the town. She first casually killed an alien to lock the dungeon, then began to eliminate witnesses.
Everyone in this dungeon who had seen her or hadn’t seen her had to be killed.
Even though theoretically, no one would be bored enough to interview an alien in a strange dungeon about who had come before, she believed in doing things to the fullest.
The undead squad here had seen her use Shadow Step, and the residents knew there was a dragon on the mountain, so they were aware of the danger!
This large dungeon, which could accommodate a hundred players, had over five thousand aliens. To avoid being overwhelmed, Yu Xunge could only kill them slowly, stealing a bit of energy from any lone alien she encountered.
She only stole from each alien once, so she wouldn’t lose health. Although the probability was low, she still managed to gain 5 points in Constitution, 2 points in Strength, 7 points in Intelligence, and 5 points in Agility by the end of the night.
By the time she finished dealing with these aliens, it was already midnight. Yu Xunge found an empty room and went to sleep.
Tomorrow would be a tough battle where she needed to give it her all; she had to rest well.
The next afternoon, feeling refreshed, Yu Xunge used Shadow Step to return to the mountain, standing before the young dragon.
Yu Xunge: Sorry, I’ve powered up since yesterday; I’m terrifyingly strong now!
The young dragon remembered the person who had fled not long ago. As a noble creature, she naturally had her own scouting skills.
A level 7 reptile?
The shimmering light blue young dragon snorted, too lazy to even speak.
Yu Xunge took out a special pet contract scroll and stated her intention: “The troublesome ones are gone. I want to challenge you, one-on-one, fair duel. If I lose, you can have me for lunch. If I win, you’ll sign this contract and become my pet friend.”
Theoretically, a better approach would be to first present a regular pet contract scroll and challenge the dragon to a one-on-one duel. If the dragon lost, it would have to obey her as her pet.
After defeating the dragon, she could then present the special pet contract scroll, telling her she preferred to be equal friends. This back-and-forth would help increase her favorability.
But as the saying goes, “Listen to advice and eat your fill.” Since the book about dragons advised against playing tricks on them, she decided to be straightforward.
Dragons appreciated this kind of honesty; they despised convoluted schemes. Yu Xunge’s directness and sincerity left a good impression on the young dragon, who resolved to spare her life after defeating this human.
The dragon, towering like an airplane, stood up and looked down at the little reptile that barely reached her calf: “I accept.”
Yu Xunge quickly stowed the scroll and jumped, pulling out a meat skewer that boosted her attack power by 15%. She bit down and pulled, stuffing five or six pieces of meat into her mouth.
The dragon was taken aback: What’s with the eating?!
The meat was specially made, each piece small enough for quick consumption. After a few chews, she swallowed it down.
With the **Gourmet** talent, the effects of the food tripled, and her attack power surged by 45%.
**High-Grade Constitution Potion**! Yu Xunge downed it in one gulp, boosting her Constitution by 30 for the next five minutes.
**Shadow Manipulation**! A shadow identical to Yu Xunge was separated from her.
**I’m Terrifyingly Strong Now**! For the next few minutes, every bullet she fired would carry magical properties!
Yu Xunge skipped all the testing and went straight into her strongest state.
The young dragon, named Tu Lan, was of the ice attribute, but her magic extended beyond just these two attributes.
As soon as Yu Xunge saw white mist emanating from the dragon’s mouth, she immediately dashed out of the skill range.
When the young dragon flapped her wings, Yu Xunge used skills that could rain down from the sky, like **Rain of Hatred**.
When black smoke began to billow from the dragon’s nostrils, she prepared to resist fire-based skills.
1, 2, 3… 7…
Every seventh attack, she would aim for three seconds before shooting, ensuring that this guaranteed critical hit would hit its target.
Yu Xunge’s combat awareness had been honed through solo dungeon runs and relentless training and learning.
The young dragon had just over 20,000 health, and her tough scales made bullets ricochet off with a ringing sound. Even with critical hits, Yu Xunge could only take away 800 health points per attack. But against an ordinary level 14 monster, her current attributes could easily one-shot it.
What’s worse, this dragon had an incredibly powerful recovery ability.
No wonder the book said dragons were favored by the heavens.
Yu Xunge: This is clearly a cheat.
But Yu Xunge wasn’t in a much better position herself, with several S-rank divine gifts, ample healing potions, dual legendary weapons, and various escape methods…
And she hadn’t even gone all out.
Worried that the dragon might not be convinced and would try to cheat her, Yu Xunge didn’t even use the necromancy skills from **Immortal**, or else she could have controlled a few dead aliens in the town to act as her muscle.
**Chapter 125: Hello, Tu Lan**
Even though Yu Xunge’s health was just over 4,000 after donning her full gear—barely enough for the dragon to hit her twice—her speed was astonishing, and she never greedily sought damage. The dragon’s skills were hard to aim, relying mostly on area attacks.
But even when the young dragon used her wide-range attack magic from her divine gifts, it was futile; Yu Xunge could teleport a hundred meters away in an instant.
Even if she was hit, she had countless ways to recover.
The battle was going far better than Yu Xunge had anticipated.
Although being hit by the young dragon would cause her to lose 19% of her health, she had plenty of healing methods. Her skills included **Emerald Feast** and **Fountain of Light**, and she had low, medium, and high-grade healing potions, as well as ginseng liquid and various dishes. Not to mention, she had a blood bodhi in her inventory.
Since each potion had a cooldown, she had bought several sets of all the healing items available on the market, only to find that using **Emerald Feast** and ginseng liquid was sufficient.
This dragon, how should she put it… a bit clumsy.
Every time she cast a skill, it was one of those long-casting big moves. In Yu Xunge’s view, it was completely unnecessary; even her most basic skills could deal significant damage to Yu Xunge.
