Chapter 1127: Chapter 1033 “Why Doesn’t This Dragon Drop a Soul Core?”_1 Chapter 1127: Chapter 1033 “Why Doesn’t This Dragon Drop a Soul Core?”_1 Queenie lowered her gaze to look at the colloquial translation of this sentence.

Then she found more direct evidence:

The term [Platinum] in [Platinum Thousand Years, White Dragon] does not refer to the contemporary meaning of platinum, but rather—

[Silver]!

This immediately reminded her of something else:

“The Sacrificial Silver!?”

“Did Shirley eat the Sacrificial Silver and then turn into a white dragon?!”

Queenie abruptly lifted her head to look at the coffee table in front of her.

The silver wine goblet that Shirley had gnawed off a piece of was right there!

It was even still filled with half a cup of coffee.

In recent days, she had been using this cup to drink coffee.

Although Shirley had gnawed off a piece of the cup causing it to only fill half a cup at most, this minor flaw was absolutely insignificant in Queenie’s eyes!

This was an ultra-rare collectible with Shirley’s teeth marks!

But now, she had a deeper understanding of the silver cup in front of her: “The history of this silver cup dates back over a thousand years?

If you eat this, you can turn into a white dragon?”

She suddenly felt like trying to swallow it…

In the game before, players used [Sacrificial Silver] to purify the miasma in their bodies.

When they took it out for use, the metal cup would slowly melt and glow, dissipating along with the miasma in the player’s body.

No one would actually eat the metal cup.

— Regular people wouldn’t have the teeth to do so.

However, in the end, Queenie restrained this impulse.

After all, she was not Shirley.

She didn’t have a Sword Immortal as a teacher nor a cultivation base.

Forcefully swallowing it not only would lead to death, but she would also lose this cup, which would be a severe loss.

Putting aside her wild thoughts, Queenie took a deep breath, picked up the cup, finished the remaining coffee in one gulp, and then, holding this cup, she logged into “Dark Soul.”

She had gotten up quite late today because she had derived a clue from her notes yesterday and spent a long time pursuing it, which accidentally caused her to sleep late.

Before logging out, that clue led her to a Daoist temple where Shirley had briefly stopped.

ƝονǤο.ᴄօ

There, she found a Daoist who, despite being corroded by demon fire, having undergone strange body transformations, managed to retain his sanity.

The Daoist’s body was scorched and dry, with a huge tumour on his back and a yellow talisman on his forehead.

When Queenie first saw him, she nearly unsheathed her sword and swung at him.

Fortunately, the faint silver fire in the Daoist’s chest caused her to stop her hand from drawing her sword.

After the misunderstanding was cleared, she obtained a brand new clue from the Daoist:

[The Luo River’s water supply is undergoing a major change].

It was then that Queenie realized: this city had not only Earth Veins but also Water Veins.

What was even more astonishing was that despite the Earth Veins being completely contaminated by demon fire, requiring their slow and steady purification, the Water Veins were still holding on!

That the Daoist was able to retain his sanity was due to the silver fire from Shirley and a secret treasure given by the Luo River God Palace.

After Queenie expressed her willingness to help and revealed her Dragon Abyss Sword which had the ability to purify, the Daoist gave her a Water-Repelling Bead and pointed her in the direction of the [Luo River God Palace].

The [Luo River God Palace] was clearly another hidden map.

Moreover, it was a map hidden underwater!

When Queenie logged in, she carefully put away the wine goblet, hung the Water-Repelling Bead around her neck and, gritting her teeth, she finally mustered up the courage and jumped into the murky Luo River.

The effects of the [Water-Repelling Bead] were far stronger than Queenie had imagined.

Not only did she not choke, but all the river water that entered her three-meter radius would change from murky to clear.

She could distinctly feel the gentle touch of the water currents passing over her body and flowing away unhurriedly – it was indeed a very peculiar experience.

However, outside of a three-meter radius, the river water remained fast and muddy, making it impossible to see the environment around her.

Queenie had to haphazardly find her way with almost no sight, while still dealing with the occasional water monsters that popped up.

It took her a laborious 40 minutes to finally discover a pathway of green stones at the bottom of the river.

She followed this path until she saw “lights”.

At this point, Warehouse Bird had almost a hundred percent chance of attracting lightning.

——As long as he timed it right, shooting an arrow or throwing a metal weapon just before the lightning struck would attract the lightning away.

Having verified this, Warehouse Bird no longer used his bow and arrow, but instead threw out his +6 backup longsword each time, retrieving it immediately after the lightning had struck.

This +6 sword had such high-quality that even though it was hit by thunder and lightning, it didn’t melt or deform.

It was very handy.

Furthermore, as per his plan, he successfully used the density of the buildings to restrict the White Dragon’s movements and successfully hit the BOSS.

The last time, he even managed to deplete half of BOSS’s health bar.

Now, not only was he continuing to optimize his route, but he also began to anticipate the changes in the second stage of the BOSS fight.

As Warehouse Bird started another BOSS fight, Queenie approached that misty group of “lights” and discovered they were glowing waterweeds.

By this point, the river was no longer muddied—all the dirty water diverted itself automatically around this cluster of buildings, letting only clean water flow in.

Queenie finally had a clear view of this group of buildings.

Then she realized, to her disappointment:

This wasn’t a dwelling place of gods, it was just a scary sounding name, one that followed the same naming logic as [Ten Thousand Universe Divine Palace].

Of course, if you let go of impractical expectations like “the dwelling place of gods”, these buildings could be described as a hidden paradise—each building intricately carved and old-fashioned.

If it weren’t for the expressions of worry and anxiety on the faces of the residents— humanoid creatures with features of crabs, shrimp, or fish—it would be a perfect tranquil utopia.

As Queenie saw these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they noticed the unexpected visitor.

The residents were initially nervous, but when they saw the Water-Repelling Bead hanging from Queenie’s neck, they all calmed down.

A pretty little sister with gills behind her ears and scales on her collarbone, who was probably a fish in her true form, quickly approached: “Are you here to help, as Master Zhou invited?”

“Huh?” Queenie was taken aback, realizing she had been so focused on Shirley, she hadn’t even asked the unfortunate Daoist for his name…

“Er…sure?” she replied, unsure.

The desperate fish sister didn’t bother exchanging pleasantries and pulled her to run, “We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!

Hurry up!”

“A terrifying monster has appeared in the southwest.

We can’t fight it off.

It’s occupied a huge area.”

“The granddaughter of Heluo River Lord is still young.

She fell unconscious during a battle yesterday.”

“Your arrival couldn’t have been more timely!”

As the chatterbox sister pulled Queenie along, she pumped her full of background information.

Queenie tried several times to interrupt her but failed.

They ran all the way to the edge of the area controlled by the monster before the sister finally stopped.

Meanwhile, Queenie hadn’t had the chance to ask about Shirley or the White Dragon.

However, after seeing the monstrous fish, she instantly understood: she had to first solve the crisis in Luo River God Palace, awaken the “granddaughter of Heluo River Lord,” and then she could get information related to Shirley.

It’s even possible that out of all the NPCs in Luo River God Palace, only the unconscious River Lord’s granddaughter knew anything about Shirley.

Queenie was all too familiar with this kind of trope!

She checked out her gear and fearlessly stepped into the territory controlled by the Water Ghost.

*

Compared to Queenie, who had to clear a brand new area, fight entirely different types of enemies, adapt to a new underwater fighting mode, and only then be able to fight the BOSS, Warehouse Bird, who only needed to reset and fight time after time, was obviously much more efficient.

Before Queenie even reached the BOSS, Warehouse Bird had already conquered the BOSS, successfully fulfilling his vow to be a Dragon Slayer.

Perhaps because this achievement was so extraordinary, the system generously gave him an achievement trophy —

[Dragon Slayer]

Note: Each time you wake from midnight dreams, you will hear the mournful cry of the White Dragon.

Warehouse Bird wasn’t too concerned about this cryptic note.

Instead, he was bothered by another anomaly:

“Where’s my soul?”

“After slaughtering such a huge dragon, why didn’t it drop a Soul Core??”
