Chapter 417: Nibelungen Unlocked

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

During the time in Lingyue, Lin Yi used the rewards he received for clearing the dungeon, the Martial Soul Upgrade Coupon.

Last time he ventured deep into the Descent Abyss, as soon as he entered the dungeon, he was immediately trapped by the Power of Law. In that emergency, Lin Yi couldn’t care too much and paid the price of three Tara Stones to successfully acquire the Great Sage’s new skill.

After the dungeon ended, he had no time to check the Martial Soul panel.

This time, when using the Upgrade Coupon, it unexpectedly surprised Lin Yi.

Therefore, Lin Yi unhesitatingly used the Martial Soul Upgrade Coupon on the Great Sage Equal to Heaven’s Martial Soul panel and acquired an entirely new skill.

"Lin Yi, we’ve arrived in Los Angeles."

"Moreover, you and Ao Xuan are now above the Nibelungen Dungeon. Due to the dungeon’s special mechanisms, I cannot personally take you inside. So, from here on, you two must be careful."

"I’ll stay invisibly above the dungeon, waiting for your return."

The intelligence of Lingyue is truly something else; it genuinely possesses independent thought.

"Then, I’ll have to trouble you."

With a thought, Lin Yi and Ao Xuan exited Lingyue and hovered above Los Angeles.

Lin Yi looked down, taking in the sight of the lush mountains below.

Is this the entrance to the special Nibelungen Dungeon?

Even with the Eye of All-Seeing, Lin Yi couldn’t detect any traces, not even the slightest unusual energy fluctuation.

Lingyue, this transport airship, can sense the location of Nibelungen?

Truly unexpected.

"Senior Ao Xuan, from here, it’s all up to you~"

Lin Yi’s meaning was clear to Ao Xuan.

This exclusive Dragon Race dungeon that opens once a century—how would Lin Yi, who is under twenty, know how to enter it?

Opening his heavy eyes, Ao Xuan solemnly nodded and then let out a resounding dragon’s roar that echoed across the sky.

The unique sound waves of the dragon’s roar are a natural key exclusive to the Dragon Race.

Under the radiation of these sound waves, the dungeon entrance hidden among the mountains below quietly appeared.

An ancient formation, sprawling across a vast area and harboring a colossal dragon, slowly emerged.

The dragon’s image was lifelike, and its body was engraved with numerous special characters radiating a primal aura.

In its mouth, it held a swirling gate.

If nothing unexpected occurs, this gate is the entrance to the Nibelungen Dungeon.

"Lin Yi, your ability and determination impress me."

"I, Ao Xuan, vow from this day forth to be of one heart with you, living and dying together!"

"Only death can separate us."

Hmm???

What does this mean?

The principal of Wanchong Mountain never mentioned that there would be such a stage, huh?

Little did he know, this was Lin Yi’s only way to enter the Nibelungen Dungeon—the Dragon’s Contract!

Nibelungen was opened by the ancient Dragon God using its unique abilities, creating an otherworldly haven exclusive to the Dragon Race.

This haven contained a rich source of the Dragon Race.

Any member of the Dragon Race, in the face of life-threatening danger, could enter Nibelungen to obtain the source of the Dragon Race and thus gain new life.

The original purpose of the dungeon was as a life-sustaining sanctuary for the Dragon Race.

With the fall of the ancient Dragon God, this haven exclusive to the Dragon Race changed its nature.

The endless source of the Dragon Race, apart from prolonging life, became a great supplement for increasing the power of the Dragon Race.

The second ruler of Nibelungen altered the rules, enabling its opening every hundred years.

All members of the Dragon Race must use all their Dragon Race Source as a ticket to gain the qualification to enter Nibelungen and obtain more Dragon Race Source.

In other words, this was an absolute high-stakes gamble!

You can choose not to participate, but if you do, you must gamble everything!

A century ago, in that epic war, the Xia Dragon Race was on the brink of extinction. In an attempt to revive, the Xia Dragon Race gambled everything and failed.

Now, Ao Xuan’s child needs to be born and requires a certain amount of the Dragon Race Source.

Her child can only be granted life!

After Ao Xuan finished chanting, an azure dragon pattern glimmered on Lin Yi’s forehead.

Lin Yi is not of the Dragon Race, but if he forms a Dragon Contract with a dragon, he can also qualify to enter Nibelungen.

"Let’s go. Once the condition is met, you don’t need to worry about my survival, just rest assured and leave the dungeon. I won’t blame you."

Before Lin Yi could inquire, Ao Xuan had already twisted her massive body and rushed towards the entrance of Nibelungen.

Thus, Lin Yi had no choice but to follow.

At the moment of rushing into the dragon’s mouth, the scenery in front of Lin Yi suddenly warped. Then, with a flash of white light, Lin Yi and Ao Xuan appeared together at the summit of a towering mountain.

Amidst the lush layers of mountains, mist shrouded, giving one the illusion of being in a fairyland.

Before Lin Yi could ask where they were, the dungeon announcement was displayed before him and Ao Xuan.

[Welcome to the Nibelungen Dungeon]

[The duration of the dungeon is 15 days. During this period, the Dragon Race Source will be distributed in the form of Dragon Crystals in every corner of the dungeon, with the production of Dragon Crystals gradually increasing as time progresses]

[During this period, all Dragon Race Source will exist in the form of Dragon Crystals, and you can collect and plunder as many Dragon Crystals as possible]

[Every member of the Dragon Race entering the dungeon will have the number of Dragon Crystals they possess and their specific coordinates displayed on the dungeon announcement]

[You can exit the dungeon at any time during its duration, note: every Dragon Race member has only one chance to enter the dungeon each time it opens, be cautious if exiting (exiting the dungeon requires a one-hour guidance period)]

[There are no rules within the dungeon]

[Fight to your heart’s content! The Dragon Race has waited for the Dragon God far too long!]

From the contents of the dungeon announcement, Lin Yi roughly understood the gameplay of the Nibelungen Dungeon.

This is a dungeon where you truly gamble with your life.

No matter how much of the Dragon Race Source you possess, even if you’re a dragon on the brink of death, you can enter this dungeon to plunder resources and gain new life.

As long as you’re strong enough, with enough courage and strength, you will gain immense resources and stand atop the hierarchy!

Regardless of whether you’re a strong or a weak participant, the dungeon holds supreme opportunities.

The weak, like ants, can gather as many Dragon Crystals as possible within the dungeon and, after obtaining a certain number of Dragon Crystals, decisively exit, taking the precious resources out of the dungeon, thus enhancing their own strength and defying fate!

The invincible mighty ones can plunder the resources from the weak to elevate their own strength as much as possible.

If your strength is decent and you have a team of your own, you might as well try banding together with trustworthy companions to rob the resources of other strong beings.

However, this often comes with a huge risk of losing everything for nothing.

In the dungeon, there are those who invest effort to collect vast resources and are killed by powerful players or teams during the exit guidance period, losing Dragon Crystals and even their lives.

The hour-long guidance period is no joke.

Trying to escape with the resources?

It’s probably not that easy.

With so many members of the Dragon Race entering Nibelungen, who would be willing to watch resources slip away?
