Chapter 25

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The energy stones and strange crystals in Mike’s hands were only a step away from upgrading the dragon’s nest.

If he obtained another strange crystal, his dragon’s nest would be able to hatch another dragon.

The chances of obtaining the only special reward would be even higher.

Right now, he was still eyeing the dragon. If he absorbed this wave of giant dragons, no one would be able to shake Mike’s position as the strongest castle lord.

...

It was around 4 pm again.

In the castle’s courtyard, a large number of monster corpses were once again piled up.

Mike’s daily work was to collect and decompose the monster corpses.

Mike was used to it.

Then, he would place the harvested food on the [space exchange] and exchange it for other resources.

Normal food had a price, and special food had a price.

The monster materials would be packaged and distributed to the little loli in the underground world. They would be crafted into standard equipment and sold together tomorrow.

“Tyrell and Barr worked really hard today!”

“Their strength has increased, and they have hunted more monsters in the wild. There should be more than 300 of them.”

“Their food supply is over 4,000 units.”

“Although we have obtained a lot of energy stones, not a single strange crystal has dropped.”

“There’s really nothing we can do about it!”

Mike sighed softly.

“I hope that there will be a surprise when night falls!”

The results of today’s hunt had also clearly surpassed yesterday’s.

However, there was no notification of obtaining a strange crystal.

Of course, a ‘European emperor special item’ like the blueprint did not drop as usual.

“Work harder.”

“Upgrade the dragon nest to level three before the Beast Tide arrives.”

Now, all aspects of the Dragon King Castle were developing in a good direction.

Mike was still satisfied with the speed of development.

But time was also tight.

After all, the protective shield would disappear when tomorrow passed.

...

The night darkened.

The blood moon slowly rose into the sky.

The wild monsters in the forest began to roar.

The night came again.

Tyrell and Barr hurried back to the castle.

After a day of hunting.

They also needed to rest.

In the last two hours of hunting.

They also encountered a tier 5 elite-level black wolf boss, and successfully killed it.

It dropped a strange crystal.

In Mike’s hopes, the last strange crystal had also been successfully obtained.

As expected, the goddess of luck had favored him once.

Although a strange crystal had dropped, the ‘European emperor special item’ blueprint still had not dropped.

However, Mike was also satisfied.

Now that he had finally gathered five strange crystals, he could level up the dragon’s nest to level 3.

Mike first collected the corpses of the wild monsters he had hunted in the past two hours.

As usual, he put the food on the shelves of the [space exchange].

He packed the monster materials and sent them to the little loli in the underground world.

When he was done...

Tyrell said respectfully, “my Lord, according to your orders, we have searched the dense forest around the castle’s territory. So far, we have not found any new local forces.”

“Tomorrow, we will continue our search in the forest further away.”

“In addition, during the search, we encountered a group of earth dragons.”

“The strongest among them has reached tier 6 commander-level.”

“There are more than ten elite earth dragons.”

“Because it was too late.”

“The blood moon has appeared.”

“Without your orders, we would not dare to attack this group of earth dragons!”

“It’s good to be cautious!”

Mike nodded.

With the appearance of the blood moon, the monsters in the wild went berserk, and their strength increased by three times.

With just Tyrell and Barr, attacking the earth dragons rashly...

It was very likely that they would also be attacked by other monsters in the jungle.

Moreover, the highest ruler of the earth dragons was also at the level of tier 6.

They might not be able to beat them.

Although the earth dragons were dragons, they were not as strong as Tyrell and Barr.

However, there were many of them.

It was not a bad thing to be cautious.

However, after eating the earth dragons, Mike’s strength would definitely improve.

However, he had to think of a way to eat them.

Tomorrow was also the last day.

After the novice protection period, not only would there be a Beast Tide, but the earth dragons might also come over to join in the fun.

This way, the castle’s situation would also be more dangerous.

If they took a gamble, perhaps their bikes would become motorcycles?

“The two of you rest for the night first. Tomorrow morning, you must beat this group of earth dragons!”

“Kill those with higher levels and subdue those with lower levels. Use them as the battle strength to resist the Beast Tide!”

“Yes, my Lord!”

It seemed that he had to upgrade his dragon nest first.

After hatching another dragon tonight. Then he could greatly increase the combat strength to defeat the earth dragons tomorrow.

Mike came to the front of the dragon nest building.

An information template appeared in Mike’s field of vision.

[Do you want to upgrade your dragon nest?]

[Yes][No]

“Upgrade!”

Mike definitely did not hesitate to choose.

After all, he had worked so hard to upgrade the dragon nest for so long.

“I hope that the level 3 dragon nest can also give me a little surprise!”

Immediately, a dazzling golden light enveloped the dragon nest building.

The golden light was dazzling, and it was impossible to see the scene inside clearly.

After dozens of seconds, the golden light gradually dissipated.

Finally, the upgraded [Dragon Nest] appeared in Mike’s field of vision.

It was a little more sacred than before.

[Dragon Nest: unique military structure.]

[Current level: Level 3.]

[Contains 99 dragon eggs.]

[Hellfire Dragon, Frost Dragon, Sapphire Blue Dragon, Undead Bone Dragon...]

[Hellfire Dragon: its entire body is red. It has scales that are as hard as metal. It has eyes that are like lava. It has wings on its back. It has four legs. Its head is like a horse, but it has horns. ]

[Sapphire Blue Dragon: its entire body is blue...]

[...]

[Required to level up and hatch: 5,000 energy stones and 50 strange crystals.]

[Ps: Level 3 Dragon Nest. It can hatch two dragons, but its level is low. If it doesn’t choose to hatch, it can hatch a tier 9 dragon in a year.]

Mike did not expect to be able to hatch two dragons after leveling up to level 3 dragon nest.

[Do you choose to hatch a dragon egg?]

[Yes][No]

Mike looked at the last message and hesitated.

If he did not choose to hatch, he would only be able to hatch a tier 9 dragon after a year.

The time was too long. He could not wait for a year just for a tier 9 dragon.

At this stage, the development of the castle was still extremely important.

If he gave up on hatching, then his castle force’s development speed would plummet.

It would soon be surpassed by other castle lords.

In addition, he still had to attack the earth dragon group tomorrow, so he needed strength now.

Mike thought about the pros and cons.

In the end, Mike still chose to hatch.
