1926 Clear Out

"World Lord Fang Heng, the Flood Dragon Race's council hall is just ahead. I've been here once as an envoy for peace talks and entered the council hall. The treasures and artifacts collected by the Flood Dragon Race for generations are all hidden in the council hall."

Anthea walked a few steps forward, stopping at the edge of a cliff overlooking the sea. She took a few more steps toward the cliff and looked down.

"This is it. There's a hidden entrance to a cave at the bottom of the cliff. Inside is the holy land of the Flood Dragon Race for generations. I've heard rumors about the holy land, but I've never gone in to investigate."

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

The council hall... The holy land of the Flood Dragon Race...

Since he was already here, he couldn't let it pass.

Take everything!

Fang Heng first ordered his zombie clones to search the council hall, then followed Anthea a couple of steps forward and looked down.

"Alright, let's go in and take a look."

The two of them climbed down the cliff and entered the cave hidden on the cliff.

Inside the cave, strange rocks adorned with the teeth and bones of some giant beast greeted them.

The Flood Dragon Race's aesthetic differed significantly from that of humans.

If one were to describe it, it would be primitive and rugged.

Following the passage into the depths of the cave, Anthea continued to explain. "It's said that the Flood Dragon Race's holy land worships the legacy of the Flood Dragon Race, the Flood Dragon Pool. The Flood Dragon Tribe is born from the Flood Dragon Pool, and it's extremely important to them. Of course, these are just unverified rumors."

"Yes..."

Fang Heng followed Anthea, scouting the surroundings.

Other than the decorative beast bones, there was nothing else noteworthy.

"Found it! It's the Flood Dragon Pool!"

Anthea noticed something in a corner, and her eyes lit up. She quickened her pace and stopped in front of an ancient well in the middle. Turning to Fang Heng, she said, "World Lord Fang Heng, this is the holy water of the Flood Dragon Race that I've introduced to you before."

Fang Heng quickened his pace and walked to Anthea's side to observe.

The twisted Flood Dragon Pool was about the size of a washbasin.

It wasn't deep, only less than a meter.

Anthea observed the holy water in the twisting Flood Dragon Pool and continued to explain. "The holy water of the Flood Dragon Race has great power. It can heal injuries in a short period and regrow severed limbs. It is said that every member of the Flood Dragon Race will drink the holy water 100 days after they are born and pray to obtain strength."

"Limb regrow?"

There was such a powerful effect?

Fang Heng was a little surprised.

"Mm, World Lord Fang Heng, it's not a rumor that holy water can regrow limbs. Jones Kingdom had a good relationship with the Flood Dragon Race for a short period and obtained two small bottles of holy water."

Anthea reached out to measure the size of the cup. "But a small bottle can probably only regrow severed fingers."

Fang Heng, upon hearing this, took a glass bottle from his backpack and scooped a bottle from the twisting Flood Dragon Pool.

[Hint: Player has obtained Flood Dragon Race Holy Water.]

[Item: Flood Dragon Race Holy Water]

[Description: A special water formed by the condensation of unique powers. After use, it significantly boosts life recovery speed for a duration, temporarily enhances Strength, Physique, and agility attributes, and provides a limb regrowth effect (the specific effect depends on the amount of Flood Dragon Holy Water consumed by the player).]

[Description: If the player possesses Flood Dragon Race bloodline, using Holy Water enhances the bloodline, gaining bloodline experience points.]

"Flood Dragon Race Bloodline..."

Fang Heng softly muttered upon seeing the game hint, reflecting on the scenes of battling the Flood Dragon Race.

It probably wasn't a very high-level bloodline.

He wasn't particularly interested.

Besides, he couldn't find a way to acquire the bloodline.

Regardless, holy water was an excellent item.

In the game, limb regrowth might not have substantial utility, but if taken outside the game...

Being able to regrow limbs, he believed many people would be willing to pay a high price for it!

Fang Heng nodded in satisfaction.

　

 　 

　　　

　　 　　 　　  

After a thorough exploration, the gains were quite substantial.

Given the circumstances, he decided to pack up all the holy water and take it with him.

Fang Heng controlled several zombie clones to come back and began emptying the well.

He re-examined the entire holy land.

The altar in the deepest part seemed to have more symbolic significance, and the remaining items didn't appear particularly valuable.

The most precious Flood Dragon Race blood had already been extracted. What remained were some valuable items collected from the council hall, potentially fetching a decent sum.

With most items that could be taken away already cleared out, Fang Heng prepared to leave.

Huh?

Fang Heng raised an eyebrow.

What was this?

[Hint: Your zombie clone has discovered a exceptional item.]

[Hint: This item is unique. Forcibly obtaining it may trigger exceptional changes. Player, please exercise caution.]

Seeing the red-text game hints, Fang Heng came to a sudden halt.

After the zombie clone finished scooping up the holy water in the Flood Dragon Pool, he observed something protruding at the bottom of the spring.

Perhaps due to the passage of time, at first glance, it seemed to have merged with the basin.

If the zombie clone hadn't searched carefully, it would likely have been forgotten.

"Hmm? What's this?" Fang Heng squinted, walked to the spring, and reached out to touch it.

"Pa."

Fang Heng pulled out a round, coin-shaped object covered in moss from the bottom of the Flood Dragon Pool.

[Hint: Player has procured an item, Mock's secret engravings]

[Item: Mock's secret engravings]

[Level: Unknown]

[Description: A coin of unknown quality with special secret engravings engraved on it. It seems to possess some special power.]

[Description: When the player is in the game world of Ciboreya, cultivating necromancy grants an additional 10% experience points. When the player is in the Mork Temple, cultivating necromancy grants an additional 20% experience points. (All effects can only be triggered when the player is below the Master level of Necromancy.)]

[Description: ???]

[Description: This item is a exceptional mission item. It cannot be destroyed or taken out of the Ciboreya game world. It will drop upon death.]

Mock's secret engravings?

Him again?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He took out the other secret engravings he had just procured from his backpack and compared them.

After clearing the moss and stains on the surface, the texture and structure of the two were identical!

Only the secret engravings on them had slight differences.

Could it be that the terrifying combat talent and robust vitality of the Flood Dragon Race were related to these secret engravings?

Or was it just a coincidence?

Fang Heng couldn't help but lower his head in thought.

Upon seeing the true appearance of the secret engravings, Anthea's eyes revealed a surprised look. "This, this is... Mock's secret engravings?"

"Yes."

"I didn't expect Mock's secret engravings to exist in the Flood Dragon Race."

Anthea remarked in a hushed tone with a puzzled expression, "World Lord Fang Heng, the Jones Kingdom also experimented with secret engravings. Aside from a slight reaction to the study of necromancy, it had no other effects. I never thought it would be related to the holy water of the Flood Dragon Race."

"It might just be a coincidence," Fang Heng remarked as he put away the secret engravings.

He had his doubts, but there were still no clues.

Although he now had two secret engravings, the game had yet to provide any relevant hints.
