DSMC Chapter 121.1

Hello all, just a reminder, today is the last day of discounted bonus releases! Also, so far, there’s only 1 person who use the NU review way, so there’s still 9 spots left!

At this moment, inside the arena, Chu Mo and Qi Feng were dealing with two Western dragons, one red and one silver.

Before they arrived, the guards outside had already been taken care of.

Dodging a fireball from the silver dragon, Chu Mo cursed as he jumped aside, “Damn it! Is Yan Jiyun actually capable or not? He wouldn’t trick us, would he? If he doesn’t show up soon, I’m going to get burned to death here!”

Qi Feng weaved around a massive pillar, nimbly avoiding another fireball. “Not necessarily. We could just ride the dragons out ourselves.”

Chu Mo shot the silver dragon a look. “They’re spitting fireballs at us nonstop. how are we supposed to ride them? I’ve never even imagined riding a dragon in my life!”

But Qi Feng’s gaze was firm. In his hand was a rein he’d taken from the nearby stables. “I’ve never ridden one either, but I still want to try.”

Chu Mo was stunned. “You’re not seriously planning to treat it like a horse, are you?”

Qi Feng replied expressionlessly, “Why not? I’ve already ridden a Pegasus.”

Chu Mo opened his mouth, then dodged another fireball. “Can a Pegasus even compare to this thing? One’s gentle, the other’s violent. They’re completely different species. I’m telling you, you and Yan Jiyun are both crazy.”

Qi Feng retorted, “You’re just timid.” Still, he didn’t deny that Yan Jiyun was indeed a bit insane, doing things even veteran players wouldn’t dare attempt.

They were currently on the underground level when suddenly, screams and chaos erupted from above.

“Fire! Ahhh, help!”

“Don’t kill me! I have money! Great dragon, don’t you like gold? I’ll give you everything, just spare me! Ah!”

“Fireballs! Fireballs! Help!”

Chu Mo said, “Don’t tell me he actually came back with a dragon?”

Qi Feng considered it possible. “Maybe. Let’s pick up the pace.”

This time, Chu Mo no longer doubted. He now had a new goal: to ride this fire-breathing silver dragon. “First, break the chains.”

The two sped up, enduring bursts of fireballs as they unlocked the chains binding the dragons.

This was a vast underground plaza designed to hold massive creatures. At the moment, only the two dragons were here; other large beasts were kept in adjacent rooms.

Now the problem was how to get onto their backs. Riding them was the simplest solution. Dragons were powerful assets.

Qi Feng tossed one of the reins on his back to Chu Mo. “Try to loop it around its neck.”

Time was running out. The chaos outside was growing. What if panicked spectators caused the structure to collapse?

The moment Qi Feng unlocked the red dragon’s chains, he flipped lightly onto its back.

Naturally, the red dragon had no intention of being tamed. The instant it was freed, it took off toward the exit.

At the same time, Qi Feng heard someone calling his name.

He looked down at Chu Mo, who was still struggling with the silver dragon. “I hear Yan Jiyun calling me, we need to meet up with him quickly.”

“Got it! I’m coming!” No way he’d fall behind.

Chu Mo moved nimbly, but just as he slipped the rein around the silver dragon’s neck, it took off. One of his legs was still hanging off the dragon’s back, and he had to grit his teeth and climb up!

“Couldn’t you at least give a heads-up before taking off?! You little silver brat, are you trying to screw me over?!”

The red dragon was even more cunning and impatient. It even tried to smash Qi Feng against a pillar to throw him off.

But Qi Feng held the reins tightly. Sitting firmly on its back, he wrapped his arms around its neck, dodged the collision by leaning aside, and regained his position.

After struggling for a while, the red dragon heard the call of its kind outside. It stopped caring about the human on its back and flew out.

Qi Feng called back, “Chu Mo, let’s go!”

Chu Mo was still being violently tossed around by the silver dragon, nearly vomiting. “Seriously? Do I always have to be the one lagging behind? This is terrible for my confidence!”

When he finally stabilized himself and looked up, Qi Feng and the red dragon were already far away.

“Come on, Silver! They’ve already flown off—we can’t be last again!” 

Before long, Chu Mo figured out how to control the silver dragon and rushed out.

Meanwhile, Yan Jiyun had just barely dodged another incoming arrow.

He had already shouted for help over ten times. The black dragon, however, seemed to have found joy in taking revenge on the humans who had captured it. It was darting up and down excitedly, easily dodging arrows that couldn’t even pierce its scales.

Such a simple-minded dragon. If those arrows had been tipped with anesthetic, it wouldn’t be so carefree.

Yan Jiyun had no choice but to snap it out of its excitement, slapping its back hard. “Lucifer! Dodge the arrows ahead!”

These arrows were thick and fast, clearly not shot by ordinary archers.

Lucifer reacted quickly, tilting to the side. Yan Jiyun clung tightly to its neck with both arms, his legs hooked firmly as well, not daring to loosen his grip for even a second.

But it wasn’t just one arrow; three came in succession.

Sensing danger, Lucifer sharply turned and flew farther away.

Yan Jiyun had read about bow ranges. Medieval longbows could reach at least 220 meters, sometimes even up to 300. If Lucifer didn’t dodge fast enough, they’d be skewered like kebabs.

A single arrow wouldn’t do much to Lucifer, as its scales were tough. But a volley could pierce even the strongest walls.

Fortunately, the guards were busy escorting nobles to safety, so few paid attention to the dragon flying higher up. Still, stray arrows posed a deadly threat to Yan Jiyun. What barely affected Lucifer could easily kill him.

He had no suitable weapon, and even if he did, his hands were occupied holding onto Lucifer’s neck.

Where were Qi Feng and Chu Mo?

Had something gone wrong?

Another arrow shot toward him. Yan Jiyun tilted his head and hid behind Lucifer’s neck, narrowly escaping again.

Just then, a streak of red entered his field of vision.

That was a red dragon!

It was as red as a dazzling gemstone, and sitting on its back, holding the reins, was Qi Feng.

He had actually called him over.

Using the reins, Qi Feng controlled the red dragon to get as close to the black dragon as possible. The moment he got close, he tossed two items toward Yan Jiyun.

“Yan Jiyun, catch!”

In midair, Yan Jiyun caught the reins and weapon Qi Feng threw to him with one hand.

The reins could be looped around Lucifer’s neck, while the weapon was a relatively lightweight short sword. Yan Jiyun wasn’t very skilled with cold weapons, but the one Qi Feng picked for him suited him quite well. Truly worthy of his perceptive pooper-scooper! 

“Thanks,” Yan Jiyun said, then suddenly realized something. “Wait, how do you know my name is Yan Jiyun?”

Qi Feng didn’t answer directly, instead reminding him, “Use the rope to tie yourself to the dragon’s back. Falling from this height is no joke!”

Back when he fell off the Pegasus, even though he used several protective items during the fall, an accident still happened.

Now, without any gear or items, this newbie still dared to ride dragons. Truly bold and fearless.

Even without Qi Feng’s reminder, Yan Jiyun had already planned to tie himself tightly to Lucifer.

With the “red dragon delivery” from Qi Feng, Yan Jiyun finally felt much more at ease.

No one expected that after a black dragon appeared, a red one would follow, and then yet another wobbling silver dragon would fly in.

Yan Jiyun spotted Chu Mo and smiled. “You guys tamed dragons pretty fast.”

Chu Mo’s voice trembled as he replied, “I didn’t tame it at all! I’m about to be shaken until I puke!”

The silver dragon, seeing the screaming, fleeing crowd, seemed to find an outlet. All the pent-up anger from being imprisoned turned into fireballs, which it spat at the wooden structures in the arena!

Lucifer had already breathed fire once and was now hovering midair to rest, perfect for Yan Jiyun to loop the reins around its neck for better stability.

The red dragon Qi Feng rode wasn’t to be outdone. It charged straight at the nobles’ section, and Qi Feng, like a war god, thrust his sword straight into the old king’s crown. The old king panicked, collapsed to the ground, and was so frightened by the sudden strike that he lost control of his bladder. His legs went weak as he fell, while the surrounding officials crouched and covered their heads in utter disgrace.

A master is truly a real man, ah. So fierce!

Even from a distance, Yan Jiyun could smell the unpleasant stench of urine.

Qi Feng rode the red dragon with perfect coordination, moving through the air as if he were born for it.

Yan Jiyun took a moment to admire his heroic figure.

He really was treating the dragon like a horse.

Not to be outdone, Yan Jiyun directed Lucifer to keep spitting fireballs.

The arena fell into complete chaos. The match in the performance area had long since stopped; the player whose arm had been mauled by the lion was rescued by others amidst the confusion. The lion had run off somewhere unknown. No events in the arena would continue today.

The players imprisoned below all took the chance to escape. They weren’t stupid either. They deliberately released all the beasts locked underground. The guards couldn’t spare attention for them anymore; saving themselves was the priority. Hundreds of beasts were far beyond what a few human guards could handle.

At this point, the players’ playable area had expanded to the entire Angel City.

Riding three dragons, Yan Jiyun and the others looked incredibly imposing, but also became the primary targets.

Seeing Lucifer’s fireballs growing smaller, Yan Jiyun shouted to Qi Feng, who looked like a war god, and Chu Mo, who was burning the arena everywhere, “Should we go?”

Their goal had already been achieved. There was no reason to stay any longer. Soon, officials would organize guards to counterattack.

Chu Mo, who had just gotten the hang of flying on a dragon, said, “So soon?”

Yan Jiyun gave a practical reason: “If we don’t leave now, NPCs will come deal with us.”

Qi Feng nodded first. “Agreed. Let’s go.”

Yan Jiyun patted Lucifer’s neck. “Lucifer, let’s get out of here.”

Lucifer understood. It had already burned the place it hated and was in an excellent mood.

They needed to find a place to land.

Since Lucifer had been out longer, Yan Jiyun was more familiar with Angel City than Qi Feng and Chu Mo. He led the way north.

Yan Jiyun had seen an open area there, enough space for the large creatures to land, and for them to discuss how to leave the game.

As they left, Yan Jiyun spotted Adonis and Daniel riding over on horseback.

Adonis fumed, “Damn it! Why can they tame Lucifer, Uriel, and Sariel?! Why won’t they ever listen to me?!” 

Daniel said, “Maybe… dragons just aren’t meant for you?”

Adonis: “……”
