Traveling through the game world

The instant the Fallen Ant Queen Melena died, a dazzling orange light blinded Lian Yang's pay-to-win eyes! A legend! It must be a legend; Lian Yang was convinced that the orange light indicated legendary-grade equipment.

Lian Yang quickly picked up the loot at his feet, afraid that if he was a little slow, the equipment flashing with orange light would disappear. The moment he saw the attributes of the item in his hand, Lian Yang couldn't hold back any longer and shouted, "Damn, this is awesome! It's a legendary item, and it's a bracelet!"

Dragon Wars: Soul of the Battle

Supreme Legendary Bracelet

Magic Defense +2851

Strength +55

Physical strength +55

Attack speed +3%

Physical damage +8%

The attributes are simple and straightforward, but an 8% increase in physical damage is already insane. Right now, the Lianyang level is still low, so it doesn't feel like much, but when Lianyang is upgraded to a higher level, the already double base attack bonus plus an additional 8% increase is simply insane.

Moreover, as a divine-grade equipment, the Dragon Battle Xuanhuang - Soul of Battle Bracelet will invisibly increase Lian Yang's defense several times over. (Any non-divine-grade equipment will have an invisible suppression effect on divine-grade equipment under the laws of the Dungeon & Fighter world.)

Equipping the Dragon Battle Xuanhuang - Soul of Fierce Battle, Lian Yang happily brandished Agamemnon's longsword and roared, "Haha! I have a divine weapon for attack and a legendary weapon for defense, I'm practically invincible! Wait, why did I level up?" Glancing at the level on his equipment panel, Lian Yang realized that his level had increased.

At this moment, Lian Yang possesses two god-tier pieces of equipment—one for attack and one for defense. Physical classes are relatively safe, but magical classes facing Lian Yang will suffer a reduction of over 50% in attack power for every spell they cast without a god-tier weapon. However, thanks to his divine greatsword, Lian Yang's damage is more than doubled. He can practically be considered the bane of ordinary mages.

Checking Hope's message history, I discovered that Lian Yang, who had just reached level 30, had fought his way up to level 31 after defeating the Fallen Ant Queen Melena. Indeed, adventure is the best way to improve one's strength.

Legendary equipment is a tier between epic and artifact equipment. In other games, every piece of legendary equipment can fetch an extremely high price. But in the world of Arad, legendary equipment truly exists only in legends. The appearance of even one piece of legendary equipment can trigger a bloodbath.

City of Misfortune

By the time they finished off the queen ant, it was nearly afternoon. Lian Yang found Baron and Alice, who had destroyed numerous ant nests and eggs, and reported that they had successfully killed the fallen queen ant, Melena. They could now temporarily retreat to the City of Doom. Without their queen, the Namlun tribe was a disorganized mess, even resorting to infighting to elect a new queen.

Back at Albert's inn, Paris asked anxiously, "How did it go? Was the Fallen Ant Queen Melena still alive?" The Fallen Ant Queen Melena weighed heavily on Paris's heart. If she didn't die, the ever-growing Namlun tribe would surely destroy the City of Doom once again.

Nodding, Lian Yang took out the head of the Fallen Ant Queen Melena and said, "We have successfully killed the Fallen Ant Queen Melena. This is her head. I believe it will help to inspire everyone's fighting spirit." At this moment, the adventurers of the City of Misfortune lacked confidence the most, and this head just happened to have the effect of boosting morale.

"That's right, look, the crown on her head is actually her antennae!" Albert exclaimed in amazement. "I never imagined that the queen of these giant ants would truly be a queen, having evolved a human head."

"More than that!" Lian Yang said, "In fact, her upper body is human, and her lower body is an ant. She already possesses intelligence in no way inferior to that of humans." Lian Yang was truly grateful; if the Namurun race had been allowed to continue developing, it would have truly endangered the safety of the entire Arad continent. It's probably because her influence was so vast that legendary equipment dropped upon her death.

At the adventurers' gathering place in the City of Misfortune, Paris took out the head of the Fallen Ant Queen Melena and announced the fact that the Fallen Ant Queen Melena had been beheaded by Lian Yang.

Sure enough, after Paris produced the head of the Fallen Ant Queen Melena, the adventurers of Doom City cheered wildly, their expressions filled with fighting spirit, a stark contrast to their previous dejection and negativity.

Everyone knows that with the death of the Fallen Queen Melena, the entire Namuron race, the largest ant colony in the ruins of Huttonmar, will not only be unable to rapidly increase its numbers for a short period of time, but will also engage in a fierce internal struggle to elect a new queen, potentially leading to the entire Namuron race splitting apart.

Not only will it be much easier for adventurers to rescue the Karu tribe enslaved by the Namuren, but even without the supreme ruler, the Namuren ant queen, they will likely fight amongst themselves for a short time, making it unlikely that a massive swarm of ants will reappear. The Namuren, with their enormous numbers, have undoubtedly become the top choice for all adventurers leveling up in the ruins of Huttonmar.

That night, following orders from the junior knight Reni, Lian Yang arrived at Hyde's office.

"I heard you took down that big ant yourself?" Hyde asked with some surprise as he walked in, his legs crossed on the desk.

"Yes!" Lian Yang answered affirmatively. He was also wondering why Hyde had summoned him. Although they were superior and subordinate, they usually kept to themselves. Lian Yang didn't provoke Hyde, and Hyde rarely bothered with him. Therefore, Lian Yang had no idea why Hyde had called him over.

"Don't think you're so great just because you killed a big ant. In my eyes, there are plenty of people like you in Arad!" Everyone says Hyde has a bad reputation, and this mouth of his made Lian Yang feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, he already knew from the game that this tall guy in front of him had a foul mouth.

Regardless of what Lian Yang thought, Hyde continued, "You've only been here a few days, and you've already offended someone. You've got some skills, haven't you?" His words were full of praise for Lian Yang's ability to offend people.

Upon hearing this, Lian Yang understood. It must be that Redding Schulman, who had been released, had resorted to other methods after his assassination attempt failed. Clearly, Hyde knew something. Lian Yang said, "It's nothing serious. Some idiot named Redding Schulman conspired with a gang of thieves to kill me. Then I wiped out his entire squad. It's a real shame he got away."

If it were anyone else, even Barn, Lian Yang wouldn't speak so arrogantly, but since it's Hyde, it's fine. This guy is a hypocrite, and he also has great disdain for Liddell Schulman's father, Old Schulman. They're even at odds.

As expected, Hyde said calmly, "Fool, remember to be quicker next time. You know the Rotten Lands, right? It's the source of that stench you've been smelling these past few days. That fat guy, Hughman, said you're very strong and sent you to investigate the Rotten Lands."

Recalling the plot, Lian Yang really didn't want to go. The stench from that place was already unbearable these past few days, and he was afraid he might vomit to death there if he went.

However, Hyde immediately shooed Lian Yang away impatiently, saying, "Get lost. Those refugee friends should know more information. Just make sure they don't get killed there. Otherwise, Agamemnon will be a real problem."

The message was clearly meant to tell Lian Yang that Paris had a lot of information, and then Lieding-Shuman had already hired an assassin to kill Lian Yang. What was meant to be a warm and gentle suggestion, coming from Hyde's mouth, just made one feel really uncomfortable no matter how you looked at it.

Lian Yang didn't care about the Rotten Land at all; it was a chaotic mix of all sorts of monsters. The strongest were some giant scorpions and a massive black scorpion named Moss. Although the black scorpion Moss was far stronger than the Fallen Ant Queen Melena, Lian Yang wasn't too concerned.

The real problem lies with the assassins hired by Lieding-Shuman. It's unclear whether it's a single person or a small team. Given that high-level weaponry is insufficient to infiltrate the ruins of Huttonmar, there's an 80% chance that Lian Yang has assembled a complete assassin squad. Moreover, their level is at least equivalent to the dark elf assassins who attacked him that night. This is extremely troublesome.

At this time, Old Hughman, through the Empire, forcibly ordered Lian Yang to investigate the Rotten Land. This was tantamount to entering a dead end; going meant death, and not going would also cause great trouble. Therefore, Lian Yang had to make more preparations.

Thinking about a way to break the deadlock along the way, Lian Yang returned to Albert's hotel, where Paris happened to be there as well. Lian Yang asked directly, "How much information do you have about the Land of Decay?"
