Finding this hidden instance isnāt easy, entering it is even more difficult, and such a high threshold has only firmed Da Feiās resolve to go down!
However, this also means heāll be going solo. Whatās he going to accomplish by himself? At this moment, Da Fei deeply regretted not being prepared. If heād known heād be going to the Eastern World to compete with the Naga for sacrifices, he would have prepared diving gearātoo bad he never realized this game detail.
As he was torn, the Treasure Appraiserās radar flashed gold again, the underwater instance beckoning.
Da Feiās eyebrows twitched. Generally, anything threatening in the game emits a red glow, while things emitting a gold glow have so far been treasures or mechanismsāDa Fei hasnāt yet encountered anything threatening here! Could it be that thereās a freebie treasure here, just like Elifel risked her life going down the Flame River to retrieve the Uriel Ring?
Alright! No more hesitating, the worst-case scenario is failing and losing experience just by myself.
So, Da Fei smiled at everyone and said, "Maybe Iāll just pick up a treasure without needing to fight. No one should worry about me; I can go down alone."
Thus, after getting covered by various angel spells boosting health, stamina, and mana, Da Fei jumped into the water without hesitation. Instantly, his screen was filled with "-2", "-3" damage data, connecting like red lines, while Da Fei felt he was digging through a sand pile!
This polar water is extraordinary! Even the Holy Frost Body reducing ice damage by 50 points wasnāt enough to stop the bleedingāhad it been regular soldiers, theyād have died instantly like falling into the Flame River! But at least thereās no poison; otherwise, what difference is there from a cesspit? (Note: āHoly Frost Body: reduces effects of curses, blindness, spirit, disease, continuous frostburn, frost slow by 50%-100%, increases resistance to frost magic by 50%, absorbs 50 points of frost damage.)
Itās long! What seems like a mere ten meters deep in Da Feiās eyes feels endless; time seems frozen in the icy water as his health and stamina keep draining!
What a joke! If under such superior conditions I canāt get through, I might as well die swallowing dung!
Finally, when Da Feiās stamina turned red and health was down to a quarter, he reached the bottom of the water, finally arriving at the instance entrance, grabbing it like the last strawāscene switched!
Oh yes! At this moment, Da Fei let out a long breath of relief! Da Fei deeply felt the tricky nature of entering this place. This was definitely beyond mortal limitsāwith God-level Navigation Skill, Extreme Diving, and Frost Body, it was still tough. What kind of high-tech diving suit does an ordinary player need to reach Da Feiās level?
Nevertheless, nowās not the time for relaxation; the new challenge has just begun! Da Fei prepared to use God-level Stealth in a corner, recovering health and stamina as soon as he entered the instance.
Scene switched, a green glow filled Da Feiās view, and an excited female voice echoed from the instance: "Finally, a warrior has discovered me! Warrior, please save me, and I shall be loyal to you!"
Da Feiās eyebrows jumped, seeing a small green space before him, with a cloud of green smoke in the centerāit was the smoke speaking! There was nothing else in the space.
Da Fei realized the astonishing truth, overjoyedāitās a hidden instance for rescuing someone! Golden lights never lie!
Da Fei exclaimed joyfully: "May I ask who you are and how I might save you?"
The green smoke answered: "I am the former Dragon Clan hero Savara; my body is dead, now I exist in soul form, sustaining the barrier desperately waiting for a warriorās aid. Finally, I await aid, and the way to save me is to sign a Dragon Clan Soul Contract. That way, I can draw energy from the warriorās soul to maintain my own existence, growing along with the warrior, repaying the warriorās life-saving grace with my power!"
āāSystem Prompt: Dragon Clan hero Savara (currently in dragon soul state) wishes to sign a soul contract with you. Upon signing, Savara will consume your experience to grow. Do you agree?
Da Fei burst into laughter! A hero from the Dragon Clan! He had long pursued an Angel hero to no avail, and now accidentally he found a Dragon Clan hero! Although her level might be negative, he has no reason to turn this down! Haha, wahahaha!
Agree!
āāSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Dragon Clan hero Savara has become your Vice Hero; Savara is currently in soul state, not occupying any tactical position.
Oh yes! Da Fei eagerly checked the Vice Hero attribute bar, finding Savara added, but her current status was "Death," unable to view attributes. It seems likely she needs to be fully resurrected first, which will probably involve quite the effort, but nothingās too difficult for Da Fei.
Wait! Savara? This name sounds familiar?
The green smoke appreciatively said: "Thank you, sir. Savara currently lacks the strength to fight for you, but should you have interest in the Dragon Clan, feel free to summon and inquire through the contract."
Oh yes! Thereās plenty I need to ask.
Da Fei quickly asked, "Why are you trapped here?"
The green smoke solemnly replied: "Our Dragon Clan once had a disgrace named Samasterā"
Samaster! Da Feiās jaw dropped in an instant! Oh my gosh, I thought Savara sounded familiar! Isnāt this the Dragon Breath Skill "Poison Dragon Savara" Samaster left for Ista?
Savara continued: "āHis lifespan was ending, but he cowardly feared death, turning into a Necromancer Dragon, insulting the entire Dragon Clan! My mission was to hunt down this disgrace. Sadly, I lost to him and fell in the Dragon Tomb, dead and unable to resurrect even as a hero. Only by awaiting a warriorās rescue."
Good grief! Enemies seeking revenge, when will it end? You really shouldnāt burden me with a quest to defeat Samaster. I should really give you some philosophical guidance as a monk.
Da Fei coughed lightly: "I think most people fear death; perhaps Samaster had many unfinished wishes? So many years have passed, heās no longer who he was, youāre no longer you, you donāt need to chase him nowāit just brings trouble to you and me!"
Savara sighed: "Indeed, Iām no longer the once-glorious Dragon Clan hero. I gained new life from your rescue; my rebirth is now to serve you!"
Haha, alright! Just donāt trouble me.
Da Fei asked again: "So how will you resurrect?"
Savara replied solemnly: "Actually, living beings and undead are both living forms. To conveniently serve you, when my soul energy grows strong enough, I will first form a human shape. As for the dragon form, thatās something I need to research further."
Da Fei nodded excitedly: "Yes, yes, first make the human shape!" Make sure itās a beauty; otherwise, you canāt serve me! Wahahaha!
As they spoke, Da Feiās health and stamina fully recovered, ready to leave.
Da Fei coughed softly: "Now we need to leave; is there anything you need to prepare? Anything to take with you?" I mean, you must have some treasure as a Dragon Clan hero?
Savara eagerly said: "Finally leaving, the only thing I want to take is recovering my energy support for the barrier, please wait!"
My oh my! Turns out there isnāt anything! No need to say, itās probably blown up by Samaster. I wonder, could it be a Divine Artifact? If so, I might be tempted to put treasure over friends!
At this moment, the entire green hall began to ripple, blur, and twist, while Savaraās green smoke grew thicker. Da Fei faintly saw in the green smoke a female human form, just like when Deirdre first formedāthis is the effect Da Fei wants.
Finally, the hall crumbled, scene switched, and Da Fei reappeared at the ocean floor. The waterās resistance made surfacing far easier.
When Da Fei broke out and surfaced, the entire fleet burst into cheers and applause. When he introduced the cloud of green smoke as Savara, the crowd erupted in astonishment.
The next goal is to challenge the Giant Dragon King; letās ask Savara if she can provide any information.
