Starting From Zero

Chapter 7 Perfection

The Dragon King didn't tell me that the steel claws could dig holes. A piece of soil suddenly exploded on the ground, and the steel claws entered the ground at an incredible speed. This guy can dig holes faster than a mouse!

Both the Steel Silver Bee and the Blood Butterfly are flying creatures, and there is nothing they can do if their steel claws burrow into the ground! I waved my hand, and all the blood butterflies turned into colorful feathers and returned to my wings. I kept the Steel Silver Bees to ensure my own safety.

The steel claws entered the ground and I had no choice but to fly into the sky. The ground was no longer safe now! Suddenly, a bag of earth rose from the ground, and more than twenty tentacles flew out from under the ground at the same time. Their target was clearly me! He quickly raised his altitude to get rid of the tentacle attack, but the Dragon King who was watching the battle shouted: "Stop flying up, you are about to pass through the illusion!"

I'm dizzy! The height of this damn illusion is different in different places. The illusion in the forest is forty or fifty meters high, but here it is only twenty or thirty meters high! He couldn't move upwards and had to dodge to the side. Unfortunately, the dodge speed was not as fast as the tentacle speed! Just when the tentacles were about to reach in front of me, I finally flew to a height of more than 20 meters. The Dragon King said that the tentacles of the steel claws were only ten meters away. I should not be able to reach him if I was so far away!

Unfortunately, the tentacle reached me effortlessly. With a crash, I was wrapped up in the tentacle, and then the tentacle pulled me down fiercely. Of course, my strength was not as strong as the steel claw, and I was pulled without any resistance. He fell heavily to the ground. This time the fall was more serious than the last time. I was completely stunned. After I got up, I felt that everything around me was spinning!

The ground not far from me suddenly bulged again, this time it was a big dirt bag. The steel claws came out from under the ground, shaking off the dirt all over his body, and he suddenly hugged himself into a ball. Steel Claw has a very sharp dorsal fin on its back like a giant dragon. When it is hugged into a ball, it turns into a huge knife wheel. You don't have to think about what happened next. This guy rolled towards me at extremely fast speeds!

The dorsal fin with its steel claws erected on the outside is simply a sharp knife edge, and the power brought by the high-speed rotation is even more terrifying. But the worst thing is that the dorsal fin of the steel claw is not flat. This dorsal fin is serrated, and once it rotates, it turns into a chainsaw!

It's really a turn of events. Just a moment ago, it was my steel silver bee chasing the steel claws, and now it turned into the steel claws chasing me all over the place. It wasn't a problem to keep running like this, so I simply turned around and faced the steel claw. He crossed his hands in front of him and used his bladed claws to catch the impact of the steel claws! The high-speed rotating steel claw was suddenly stopped, and the sawtooth-like dorsal fin kept rubbing against my blade claw, making a harsh sound, like the sound of a grinding saw cutting an iron bar. Sparks flew from the place where my bladed claws came into contact with his dorsal fin, and my hands were sore and numb from the shock. What was even worse was that the ground was so soft that I felt like my legs were stuck in the mud!

It took a full 8 seconds for the steel claw to come to a complete stop. Without inertia, it could no longer turn. He wisely jumped back, stretched out his limbs and landed smoothly! Just as the Steel Silver Bee was about to attack, this guy got into the soil again! When he went to earth, I had no choice but to go to heaven again!

The Steel Claw King next to him couldn't stand it any longer: "When will the fight between you two be over? Come out!" Both Steel Claw and I returned to the ground, and the Steel Claw King continued: "You are not allowed to fly. Don't use that little thing to attack." He pointed at the steel claw again: "You're also not allowed to burrow into the ground, and don't attack with tentacles anymore!" This method of the Steel Claw King is really good, otherwise the two of us will go to heaven one by one. No one can do anything to the other person!

I nodded! "Come back!" The Steel Silver Bee roared and flew behind me, turning into silver feathers and hanging them back on its wings. The steel claw over there also nodded and took the tentacles into his body! It seems that the Dragon King doesn't understand steel claws. Their tentacles are no longer more than ten meters long, and these tentacles don't always need to be extended out. They can be retracted when not in use!

Without special weapons, the two of us had no choice but to clash head-on! The steel claws rolled into a ball again. I teleported to his side, transformed into a werewolf to increase my strength, and aimed at the center of rotation with a strong kick. The steel claw was suddenly attacked and lost his balance. Although he immediately spread out his body to stabilize his body, the inertia was too great and he could not control it. The long horn on the guy's head was suddenly inserted into the soil, and his body was Because of inertia, the whole body turned over and lay there with its four corners upside down.

How could I let go of such a good opportunity! One jumped in the air above him, turned his hand to pull out the magic dragon spear, and stabbed it into the ground. Although his belly was wrapped in a carapace, it shouldn't be as hard as his back, not to mention that my spear itself was a piercing weapon. attack! It's a pity that Steel Claw is not a low-level creature, he can still protect himself even if his corners are turned upward! A big tail suddenly swept over me. After all, my attack and defense were not as high as his, so it wouldn't be cost-effective for me to change them all at once. I simply put the spear on the side to resist his big tail. I felt like I was hit by a truck and flew out. After landing, I stepped back more than ten steps and used the spear to support the ground before I could barely stand still! This guy is so strong!

The steel claw turned over and straightened up, lowered its head and rushed towards me. The tail just hit me and knocked me ten meters away. If I was hit by the horn, I wouldn't have flown out of the island! When I was about to run, I suddenly found the fire-concentrating blade not far away. I stretched out my hand and the fire-concentrating blade flew over and landed in my hand. I swung the sword and struck hard with all my strength from top to bottom. The fire-concentrating blade suddenly spurted out a foot-long flame as if it sensed my thoughts. The sword shook the mountain and the ground, and a flame extended in the direction of my swing and hit the guy in the head.

boom! There was another explosion, and the steel claw flew backwards in the flames. A small black dot flew out with a whirling sound, and plunged into the ground in front of the Dragon King and Steel Claw King with a splash. When the two kings took a look, they realized that it was half the horn of a steel-clawed beast! Looking over there, the steel-clawed beast I attacked turned over and got up again. It seemed that the injury was not serious. He raised his paw to touch his horns and found that the left horn was missing half of it. This was a hornet's nest. This guy jumped up and rushed towards me. I swung the knife again, but this time nothing came out! This damn fire-collecting blade actually works sometimes and sometimes not! I had no choice but to turn around and run away!

After using teleportation to dodge the attack, I simply summoned the two clones. Hehe, there should be hope for three against one! The Steel Claw King next to him wanted to call out something, but was held down by the Dragon King. It was probably because the Dragon King was explaining the clone issue to him.

The warrior clone and I looked at each other, he nodded, and the two of us rushed forward together. A red magic symbol flashed in front of the mage clone, and a red light shone on the warrior clone and I at the same time. Because the clone and I are one, the self-blessing magic that the mage clone just used will have an effect on me and the warrior clone as long as it is used on himself.

The steel claw on the opposite side sprayed yellow smoke towards us, looking very angry! His eyes suddenly lit up, and the horn that I had cut off started to grow back on its own, and it quickly returned to its original shape! This guy can actually regenerate! After recovering, the steel claws rushed towards us!

The warrior clone and I each took out a small red bottle, broke the mouth of the bottle and swallowed the liquid inside. "Wild and violent!" The two of us faced the charging steel claw at the same time. Each of us grabbed one of the horns of the steel claw and used the force of his forward thrust to forcefully turn him over. Even though he used wild rage and the two of us worked together, his arms were still numb from the shock of his brute force.

Just as the steel claw that we had turned upside down was about to turn over, the warrior clone and I bit him on the neck together.

"Ouch!" Unexpectedly, the warrior clone and I both covered our teeth and jumped away. "Ouch! My teeth! Why is this guy's shell so hard!"

Steel Claw was startled by us at first, but when he found that we couldn't bite his shell, he turned over proudly. But before he could attack, he heard the voice of the mage's clone coming from over there: "Dark Explosion!" A black magic seal fell from the sky and hit the steel claw.

With a bang, a big explosion occurred around the steel claw at the same time, and the steel claw was blown up. I was holding my teeth and just saw the steel claw flying over my head. What a great opportunity! I picked up the fire-concentrating blade and jumped up. I stabbed Steel Claw in the belly. If I got hit this time, I would definitely disembowel him.

"Stop!" The Steel Claw King suddenly shouted from the side.

"Ah? Oops!" I suddenly stopped and fell to the ground, and the steel claw landed on me accurately. "You bastard! Get down quickly! Ouch!" A steel claw weighs at least two or three tons, and with the inertia of falling from the sky, if it weren't for my good armor, I would have been smashed to death by him!

The steel claws on my back quickly ran away from me. I got up and shouted to the Steel Claw King: "It was a good fight. Why did you say stop?"

"The victory was decided just now, there is no need to compete anymore!" The Steel Claw King came over and said: "I agree to your request, there is no need to compete anymore!"

"You agree? Great!" I quickly opened the city control function, selected the guardian beast to establish, and entered the name Steel Claw. A big magic contract appeared on the side of the Steel Claw King. The Steel Claw King stamped the contract with his claws, and the contract disappeared immediately. A prompt sounded on my side: "The Frost Rose Alliance successfully obtained the guardian beast Steel Claw. From now on, the Frost Rose Alliance will all get a steel claw guardian beast, and the guild's main city, Essinger, will receive 1,000 steel claws to garrison the city."

"Okay!" The Steel Claw King said to me: "The confirmation is over. The guardian beast will appear directly in your city, including your own. Just go and confirm it!" He turned to the Dragon King and said: "I go first!"

After the Dragon King nodded, the Steel Claw King quickly turned transparent and disappeared in front of us, and the surrounding steel claws also disappeared one by one. I thought all the Steel Claws had left, but the Steel Claw King suddenly appeared next to me again. "I forgot to tell you!" He picked a few flowers from the ground, and then gave me a lot of small black particles from the flowers. "These are the seeds of spring flowers. You can take them back and plant them in your city. We Steel Claws like the scent of this flower the most. Just like catnip does to cats, the smell of spring flowers can make us feel happy. If you eat it, you can suppress the pain for a short time! Well, that’s all, goodbye!” The flower petals flying up from the ground this time showed that they were really gone!

I carefully collected the seeds of the Love Spring Flower, turned around and said to the Dragon King and Phoenix Dragon Queen: "Shall we go back to Isengard?"

"Yes!" The Dragon King asked me to get on his back, and the Phoenix Dragon Queen also flew up. You don't have to worry about the route when you go back. You can fly directly through the illusion to the sea and fly back to Essinger.

It's only 12:23 noon now, and I'm pretty fast, solving the problem of the city's guardian beast in one morning! It took more than an hour to return to Essinger, and we arrived at Essinger near two o'clock. From afar, I can see that the city is still tilted there. It seems that the super weapon is not completed yet!

As soon as I landed, I was surrounded by people. "President! What is this?" A female player whose name I can't remember pointed to the iron claw beside her.

"This is the new guardian beast of our guild. You can use it as a mount when you go out in the future, and as an assistant when fighting. These guys have high defense and can be used as human shields!"

"But this thing looks so scary!"

faint! I have already reviewed the appearance of the steel claw, and there are actually female players who don’t like it! "This...! Although they look a little fierce, they will not attack the players in our guild, so don't worry! Besides, there are more girls in our guild, wouldn't it be safer to take him out?"

"That's right!"

After all, the shape of the steel claw is just more aggressive, not disgusting, so the female player just complained and passed. After reviewing Essinger, the Phoenix Dragon Queen agreed to be stationed in Essinger as a guardian beast, so we got another 1,000 Phoenix Dragons for the city and each player got a Phoenix Dragon that could be carried around.

Fenglong's presence is much more popular than Steel Claw's. First of all, Fenglong is small and cute, and can transform into various small animals. It has a pair of big eyes like a cartoon character. Secondly, Fenglong's powerful carrying ability is really useful, especially since our guild has many siege weapons. With Fenglong, it becomes much easier to carry these things. The phoenix dragon around us can actually turn into a human form, but because it cannot change its size, the phoenix dragon after transformation looks like a child! Because the children transformed by Phoenix Dragon are very cute, Essinger turned into a large kindergarten, with many female players running around holding a child! However, male players prefer to keep their phoenix and dragon standing on their shoulders in their original form. It is more majestic to have a small dragon!

The only special thing in the guild is my guardian beast! Because I am the president, the guardian beast I got has the word "leader" behind it. My spear is called Spear Leader, my steel claw is called Steel Claw Leader, and my Phoenix Dragon is naturally called Phoenix Dragon Leader. These leaders are no higher than ordinary creatures in terms of level, but their attributes are stronger, and the leaders are relatively large. Another point is that the leader can speak, probably to show the difference!

After the matter of the guild guardian beast was established, I started to build the canteen, and all the NPCs in Essinger were mobilized. Fortunately, Essinger is a very large area, and many places are still open spaces, so temporarily adding buildings will have no impact!

I was busy until night and the canteen was basically completed, but it couldn't do it without a chef! I went to the NPC management office to ask the management NPC about the situation, and the answer I got was completely different from what I imagined! At first, I thought that as long as we gave money, the system could directly spawn the chef NPC. As a result, the administrator asked us to post announcements in the city, and some of the civilian NPCs would sign up on their own! There are many of these civilian NPCs in every city, and their main function is to make the city look lively and urban-like. If these were not produced through reproduction, the system would control the population by controlling the growth rate and number of birth NPCs, which would appear more realistic. In the future, every NPC will have a name and surname, as well as parents, family and even clan, unlike before where everything was refreshed!

There is also news from the management NPC that NPCs may also build new cities by themselves in the future. NPCs building cities will also withstand monster sieges just like players. After slowly upgrading, there will also be cases where NPC cities attack player cities. As for those system cities that existed before, they will gradually transform into NPC-controlled cities, and the main system will no longer directly manage the city!

This news can be said to be good news or bad news. The main system does not manage cities and does not directly refresh NPCs, which means that there will no longer be a situation where millions of NPC armies attack at every turn. But NPC management of cities means that the offensive nature of those NPC cities has become stronger. It seems that the intensity of war will decrease in the future, but the number of war outbreaks will increase!

After hearing these reports, I asked Vida to find someone to post the notice. Not to mention, as soon as it was posted, a lot of NPCs came to apply for the job. Of course, I am not responsible for the review work. I randomly found a few NPCs from the professional office to serve as examiners. It was already evening and not many people were going to change jobs, so I just left two people to look after the job.

It was already the early morning of the 5th when the arrangements here were completed. Essinger was still leaning there. However, because the super weapon had been installed in the dug space, we lowered the tilt angle of the city. Now at least people can walk normally. ! I roughly inquired about the progress, and Wal-Mart told me that it would take at least 70 hours of work to complete! There is no way, the project is too big!

Anyway, things in the guild were basically settled. I took the weapon fragments and ran to the smelting center next to Essinger Port. This is Essinger's heavy industrial zone, and all urban components are processed here. I came here to find Clark. I never had time to repair the Holy Dragon's Fang after it was destroyed. Now that I finally found the time, of course I have to come here to repair my Holy Dragon's Fang!

When we found Clark, he was commanding a large group of NPCs to cast steel beams, which were used for the advanced technology shipyard that was about to be built.

"Clark!"

"Why are you here?" Clark asked confused when he saw me. I didn't answer anything and just gave him the fragment of the Holy Dragon's Fang. Clark saw the fragments and exclaimed: "Broken again?"

I nodded and took out another fragment of the sword. "This is what happens after you fight with this sword!"

Clark took the broken sword and looked at it, and suddenly his eyes widened. "Isn't this the holy sword of Holy Sword Angel Dilin? How did it get into your hands?"

I took out a crystal and gave it to Clark: "This is the Dilene!"

"Then she was captured?" Clark looked at it repeatedly with almost disbelief before returning the crystal to me. "You are so awesome! You even got the Holy Sword back!"

"It's not just her! The Armored Angel and the Holy Shield Angel are also here with me! I also have the armor of the Radiant Angel Michael!"

"Doesn't that mean you have 4 of the 7 Bright Armor components?"

"Do you also know about the Light Armor?"

Clark nodded. "The light armor and the dark armor correspond to each other. The two sets of equipment belong to the King of Light and the King of Darkness respectively."

I said in frustration: "Originally, when I established Isengard and successfully protected it, I became the King of Darkness. Unfortunately, now that I have fallen out with the Dark Temple, the King of Darkness can't even think about it!"

Clark said: "Actually, there's nothing to be sorry for!"

"Why?"

"You don't understand the situation and think that the King of Darkness is very arrogant. In fact, he is not at all! The light forces are different from our dark forces. The light forces have royal authority higher than divine authority. The goddess of light actually has to obey the leadership of the King of Light. But the dark forces Here, divine power is higher than royal power, which means that even if you become the King of Darkness, you are still a subordinate of the Dark Temple! And the most disadvantageous thing is that the dark armor of the Dark Temple was lost hundreds of years ago. Even if you become the Dark King, you will still be a subordinate of the Dark Temple! The king only needs to find the armor by himself, unlike the King of Light, who has seven angels who give the parts of the armor of light he guards to the King of Light!"

"Thankfully I had a falling out with the Dark Temple, otherwise I would have lost my title and still had to help find armor, and I would have suffered a big loss!"

"The Dark Temple! Things are always very dark! But having said that, the Light Temple is not really very bright in doing things! To put it bluntly, everyone is doing it for their own interests. There is no distinction between justice and evil. Everyone is just for survival. !”

"What you said is so insightful! However, you still have to help me repair my weapon!"

"Follow me to my workshop! There are no tools here anyway!"

When Clark arrived at Essinger, he received my policy support, so his shop has been upgraded to a processing factory. The large factory building is full of large magic stoves. I followed him through the factory outside to the precision machining workshop inside. This is Clark's own room, and all the equipment is the best.

A large table was cleared and I placed the pieces on the table. "Do you need additional materials when repairing?"

Clark said while looking at the damage: "Nonsense! It's all broken into pieces like this. How can we repair it without adding something?"

"What do you need?"

"Take out whatever you have and let me see what's useful?" Clark pulled my bracelet. "Is it here? Let me take a look!" The bracelet was given by Clark. He knows how to open it. He will pour something out after taking it!

"Don't……!"

I shouted a little too late, and Clark activated the bracelet's item cleaning function. So everything in the bracelet was poured out. The entire workshop was filled with a lot of stuff in an instant. It was thanks to my quick action that I snatched the bracelet back.

Clark and I were squeezed together by a bunch of things and couldn't move. We were staring at each other!

"Why did you put so many things in the bracelet?" Clark didn't expect that I would put so many things in the bracelet at first.

"I'm usually too lazy to organize, so I don't deal with the useless things. Over time, I accumulated so much!"

"You are great!"

"You can't blame me, you opened it!"

"Okay, okay, take everything back quickly!"

I quickly activated the recycling function, and all the items accumulated in the room went in at once. Clark and I lost our support and fell to the ground with a bang. "I'll do it myself!"

After rummaging through the bracelet for a long time, I found a big diamond. "Strange! What is this?" I don't even remember such a thing! Look at the attribute, the name is the Star of Creation. Come to think of it, this was a system reward when you repaired the magic dragon suit with Clark! (Mentioned in Chapter 30 of Volume 3)

Clark took the diamond I handed over and looked at it and said, "Isn't this the Star of Creation?"

"Do you know what it's for?"

"Of course! This thing is specially used to fuse equipment. It can be used to fuse many equipment items with different attributes together, and it will produce more beneficial mutations! This time the repair equipment is just right!"

"Then use it! I'll see what else there is!" After searching for a long time, he took out something like a parrot's beak. "This is the tooth of the squid monster I met when I went to sea. Can you see if it is of any use?"

Clark touched it and hit it twice with a hammer. "This thing is very hard and is a good material. It should be useful!"

"By the way, I still have this!" I took out a beautiful bottle from the bracelet. "This is an exquisite crystal bottle found in the dragon cemetery. But I don't know how to open it!"

Clark looked at it and said, "Isn't the Dragon King here with us? Look for him!"

"Why did I forget about him! Just wait for me!" He ran outside and dragged the Dragon King in, and took out the bottle and gave it to him. "You should know how to open your Dragon Clan's things, right?" The Dragon King nodded but didn't speak. I asked, "How do you open it?"

"Smash!"

"Smash it?" Clark and I both stared at the Dragon King.

The Dragon King said: "This bottle cannot be opened at all. To open it, you need the dragon spirit in the bottle."

"Does that mean the key to open the bottle is inside the bottle?"

"That's pretty much what it means! So the only way to open the bottle is to smash it! After smashing it, the dragon spirit inside will automatically unlock the seal and open the bottle cap!"

"Why did you open the lid when the bottle was smashed?"

The Dragon King smiled and said: "Do you think the dragon's bottle can be easily broken? Even if this bottle is broken ten thousand times, it will automatically return to its original strength!"

It is indeed a high-end product. Even if it is smashed, it will automatically return to its original strength. It's amazing! "Then how do you break it? I guess this thing can't be broken casually, right?"

"Of course!" The Dragon King placed the bottle on the ground, and then stretched his left arm over the bottle. "Give me a sharper dagger, the claws are not sharp enough in human form!" I handed him my dagger, and the Dragon King took the dagger and killed his own arm. The bright red dragon's blood dripped on the bottle, and a red halo immediately appeared around the bottle. The Dragon King returned the dagger to me, and then drew a magic circle on the ground. Put the bottle into the array and start using the spell. At this time, the language was completely dragon language, and I couldn’t understand a word of it anyway! After the spell ended, the magic circle also lit up, and then the Dragon King said to me: "Okay, just find a bigger hammer and hit it hard!"

"Understood!" Clark's here is a blacksmith factory, and there are many hammers. He found a sledgehammer and walked over, swung it and smashed it against the bottle. With a crisp sound, the beautifully crafted exquisite crystal bottle was smashed into pieces by me. But just as the bottle shattered, a large number of dragon souls flew out of the bottle.

The fragments on the ground suddenly flashed, and they all flew up automatically and combined to form the completed bottle. It was impossible to tell that it had been broken before! One of the souls running around in the room suddenly flew towards the bottle and hit it. The eight faucets under the bottleneck opened their mouths at the same time, and the eight chains originally blocked by the medicine were disconnected at the same time. The bottle cap fell to the ground with a clang.

As soon as the bottle was opened, the room immediately became chaotic. The dragon souls flying around were all sucked back as if they had encountered a tornado. Some dragon souls that had flown out of the factory were all sucked back without being able to escape. The Dragon King said to me: "While it's still open, drop your blood into the mouth of the bottle!"

I quickly took off my gloves, cut my finger and dripped the blood into the bottle. There seemed to be no change after the blood entered. The bottle is still absorbing souls, and all the dragon souls outside are sucked in! When the last dragon soul entered the bottle, the lid automatically flew up and covered the mouth of the bottle. The eight chains returned to the mouths of the eight dragons, and the dragon's mouth also bit the chain heads again.

The Dragon King brought me the bottle on the ground and said: "These are dragons who have committed major mistakes in the past generations of the Dragon Clan. After they were killed, their souls were sealed in exquisite crystal bottles. The crystal bottles have destroyed their will." , but it retains the power of the soul. You can use the dragon soul in this bottle when you need to inject soul in the future!"

"But I don't know that spell just now!"

"No need! I just asked you to drop blood into it, and the exquisite crystal bottle has your consciousness. When you want to open it in the future, just pull the bottle cap chain with your hands and it will disconnect. When not in use, close the cap chain. Go back to yourself!"

"This is so convenient!"

"In addition to the dragon soul inside, you can also use this bottle to hold other souls. Just aim the bottle mouth at the target and open the lid! You can see the specific properties yourself!"

It turns out that this bottle is not only a prop for holding souls, it is also a real weapon! I looked at the attributes of my subordinates, and the attributes that I couldn't see before were all displayed! It is indeed an item that can gather souls. The soul of the NPC that is sucked in will always be sealed in the bottle unless I release him. After the player is sucked in, the soul disappears immediately, and the player cannot play the game for two hours. Not bad, you can control the enemy! Unfortunately, this bottle requires that the soul that has left the body must be sucked in, and the soul cannot be extracted directly from the body!

The Dragon King had some things to deal with and left first. Clark and I began to study how to repair weapons. The creation star must be added, as well as the squid's mouth. In addition, when I defended the city last time, the system gave me an opportunity to upgrade equipment, and the success rate was 100%. I also plan to use it together to ensure safety. By the way, the holy sword that has been turned into pieces and the fire-concentrating blade that I deceived from Polaris-kun, these are both good things! Come to think of it, the dragon clan still has three weapons sealed in the dragon bone. Now I just want to take it out and take a look. If it's not easy to use or it's a weapon I already have, like a sword, I just put it in. Anyway, this time it's 100% successful. Damn, there is no shop like this after passing this village!
