Zhang Yi knew that such reminders from the System usually only appeared when pyers truly faced life-threatening dangers brought by the game world of Apocalypse, much like a level 50 pyer entering a level 100 wilderness map.
However, Zhang Yi ignored the System's warning and continued to delve deeper into the Dragon Emperor's Tomb.
Upon opening the map, he discovered an introduction to the Dragon Emperor's Tomb at the bottom of the map after entering it.
[Dragon Emperor's Tomb] (Unknown Level):
Description: The Dragon Race is a powerful species that has survived on Earth for billions of years, with strength surpassing the Human Race, Demonic Beasts, and Aliens, and is an extremely mysterious race. It is said that a top-tier Dragon Emperor slumbers in this tomb, hence the name Dragon Emperor's Tomb. The day the Dragon Emperor awakens will be the day of extinction for the three races...
Having survived in the Apocalypse world for eight years in his previous life, Zhang Yi had some understanding of the still-mysterious Dragon Race.
The leader of the Dragon Race is called the "Emperor," and each Dragon Emperor is the most powerful existence within the Dragon Race. Before his death in the previous life, Zhang Yi, along with Mu Chen, Lin Ruo, and over a hundred top pyers, spent a year collecting the Dragon Blood Scroll by hunting down nine god-level Dragon Emperors of the Dragon Race.
After entering the map, Zhang Yi did not encounter any monster attacks because he knew that besides the hidden instance, there was only one monster in this tomb, the guardian of the hidden instance.
Venturing deeper into the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, Zhang Yi indeed discovered the entrance to the instance between two massive mounds: a white light curtain!
Zhang Yi's heart raced. In his previous life, having survived in the Apocalypse world for eight years, he had never personally encountered a hidden instance! And now, it was only the second day since the Apocalypse server opened...
After the excitement, fear quickly followed because Zhang Yi knew that entering the hidden instance through this light curtain was not easy. Before that, pyers must kill the guardian of the hidden instance, the Dragon Emperor's Tomb.
In the previous life, to kill that guardian, the team from Zone 885 spent several weeks trying over a dozen times, using up all three Revival Chances earned from weekly Survival Quests, and finally succeeded.
This was also what the pyers from Zone 885 boasted about in the cross-region chat channel.
Zhang Yi's purpose this time was to check the guardian's data. Once he had the data, he would know what level of strength he needed to achieve to kill it and enter the Dragon Emperor's Tomb instance.
So, he took out the Detection Scroll he bought for 1 Gold Coin from his bag, held it in his hand, and approached the entrance of the Dragon Emperor's Tomb.
As Zhang Yi got closer to the light curtain, a low and hoarse angry shout suddenly echoed in his ears—
"Intruders of the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, die!"
As the voice fell, Zhang Yi saw a red light shoot out from one of the mounds ahead. He immediately crushed the Detection Scroll in his hand. The next moment, the red light flew back into the mound, and a strong red wave of light burst from the mound. Caught off guard, Zhang Yi was bsted away by the wave, hitting the ground hard, and everything went bck as he lost consciousness.
"Ding~ You have been attacked by the [Dragon Blood Swordsman, Guardian of the Dragon Emperor], losing 1538 HP. You are dead!"
In a fsh, Zhang Yi found himself at the Revival Spring in Hope Town.
Due to his death, he suffered a level drop penalty, falling from level 11 back to level 10. Zhang Yi couldn't help but mutter, "Damn!"
Zhang Yi had pnned to retreat from the Dragon Emperor's Tomb immediately after obtaining the guardian's data, but he didn't expect to be killed instantly!
His first rebirth ended just like that.
He quickly checked himself over and, fortunately, because he was a White Name, he didn't drop any equipment upon death, only losing a dozen Silver Coins and a few Enhancement Stones. The biggest loss was the reduction of one Revival Chance.
In shock, Zhang Yi opened the memory save interface and was relieved to find that he had obtained what he wanted most just before dying—
[Dragon Blood Swordsman, Guardian of the Dragon Emperor] (Physical Lord Monster):
Level: 30
Talent: Lifesteal (The Dragon Blood Swordsman naturally possesses a 25% lifesteal ability, converting 25% of all attack damage into its own HP)
Physical Attack: 1055
Physical Defense: 790
Magic Defense: 650
HP: 55600
Skills: Dragon Emperor Ssh, Dragon Blood Ssh, Dragon Shadow Kill, Dragon Annihition Art, Dragon Emperor Bloodline
Description: The guardian beside the Dragon Race Emperor [Greedy Dragon Emperor, Shigu], the immortal Dragon Blood Swordsman has been guarding Shigu for billions of years, and anyone attempting to approach the Dragon Emperor's Tomb will be sin by the Dragon Blood Swordsman...
The Detection Scroll worked!
It seems this death was worth it, at least he obtained the data on the Dragon Emperor's Tomb guardian. Next, Zhang Yi could formute a pn to conquer the hidden instance [Dragon Emperor's Tomb] based on the Dragon Blood Swordsman's data.
It can be imagined that as the guardian of the Dragon Emperor's Tomb, the strength of the Dragon Blood Swordsman basically represents the overall strength of this instance. The instance monsters in the Dragon Emperor's Tomb are certainly all level 30, and aside from the instance's gatekeeping BOSS, the other normal or elite monsters are definitely weaker than the Dragon Blood Swordsman.
In other words, as long as Zhang Yi increases his strength to surpass the Dragon Blood Swordsman and can defeat it, he should be able to clear this instance!
The Dragon Blood Swordsman's attack power has already reached four digits, so at least having a four-digit attack power is necessary to contend with it.
Raising attack power to four digits is not easy; it seems more effort is needed. After all, Zhang Yi's current attack power is only 206 points, still a long way from the target.
Checking the time, it was already a little past 11:50 AM. Zhang Yi touched his growling stomach and walked into a restaurant in Hope Town.
In addition to fatigue, pyers have a hidden attribute called hunger. People can die from exhaustion and hunger.
Simir to fatigue, when a pyer's hunger reaches 100%, they are in their best state. When it drops to 0%, the pyer faces the danger of death. However, the rate of hunger decrease is only half that of fatigue. Fatigue decreases by 1% every 10 minutes, while hunger decreases by 1% every 20 minutes.
From the server opening at 8 PM st night until now, it had been almost 16 hours, and Zhang Yi's hunger was at 52%.
Hunger can be restored by eating, and the more expensive the food, the better it tastes and the more hunger it restores.
As a wealthy pyer with a fortune of 31 Gold Coins, Zhang Yi went to the restaurant and immediately spent 50 Silver Coins on a steak and another 50 Silver Coins on a bottle of red wine.
