Yesterday, Eggplant wants to say "sorry" for the delay. Eggplant was just too tired and fell asleep as soon as I got home, sleeping until this morning. I hope all the readers can understand. Right now, Eggplant has no backlog and can only write one chapter at a time. In the future, I will try to avoid such situations. By the way, please consider adding this to your favorites.
The Seventh Tier Velociraptor, with its large mouth drooling profusely, rushed in front of Liu Guanfeng and took a bite.
Liu Guanfeng instinctively jabbed upward with his iron halberd. With a clang, Liu Guanfeng's Twin Halberds collided with the Velociraptor's upper lip. The Velociraptor let out a cry and struck Liu Guanfeng's left arm with its right claw. Liu Guanfeng was sent flying, and the Velociraptor spun around and delivered a tail whip that struck Liu Guanfeng's chest.
Liu Guanfeng spat out a second mouthful of blood, and his left hand lost grip on the iron halberd. Lying on the ground, he had no strength left, and the Velociraptor walked over and stepped on his chest.
The Velociraptor's foot only left Liu Guanfeng's head exposed. Looking at the Velociraptor in front of him, Liu Guanfeng saw blood still dripping from its mouth, making it look terrifying.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng could only close his eyes and wait for fate to decide. He had no strength left; even in good condition, he didn't believe he could escape the powerful foot of the Velociraptor.
Forget it, if I'm going to die, then so be it; I've died before—what's there to be afraid of?
At that moment, blood from the Velociraptor's upper lip dripped onto Liu Guanfeng's face, and he could even feel the Velociraptor's breath.
Just then, Liu Guanfeng suddenly felt that the heavy foot on his chest was gone. He opened his eyes again to see XP standing in front of him while the Velociraptor was knocked aside, glaring angrily at XP as if resenting this two-tailed little dog for interrupting its meal.
"Master, are you okay?"
Liu Guanfeng forced a smile. "I'm fine; if you had come a few seconds later, I would have become dragon droppings."
"I'm sorry, Master. Those two Velociraptors have reached the peak of Sixth Tier; I didn't have much advantage, which is why I arrived late. Fortunately, you're okay."
"Now that you're here, you need to be careful; this Velociraptor is fierce."
"I understand. When we fight later, you also need to be careful; I'm afraid it might ambush you."
"Yeah, don't worry; I'll be careful."
XP fixed its gaze firmly on the Velociraptor in front of them. The Velociraptor was glowing with golden light, and XP's fur had turned red.
XP activated a terrifying skill, but it had no effect on the Velociraptor. The Velociraptor let out a roar and charged forward. XP also bravely met it head-on.
At this moment, Liu Guanfeng quickly tended to his injuries. After bandaging his wounds, the two magical beasts had already clashed several times.
"xp, how do you feel?"
"Master, this Little Guy is very strong. I think it won't be easy to defeat it."
"Then come over here. We'll attack together." Liu Guanfeng had also retrieved his lost iron halberd. At this time, xp and the Velociraptor exchanged positions and ran to Liu Guanfeng's side. Without hesitation, Liu Guanfeng jumped onto xp's back, swinging his Twin Halberds.
"Beast, let's see if you can take on both of us. xp, go!"
Using fireballs as cover, xp charged forward. The Velociraptor dodged xp's claws but was slashed by Liu Guanfeng's iron halberd with his right hand, leaving a gash and burn marks on the Velociraptor's wound. For a metallic beast like the Velociraptor, burns were the most intolerable.
Taking advantage of the Velociraptor's distraction, Liu Guanfeng commanded xp to attack. Instead of retreating after a strike, xp began to leap around the Velociraptor while continuously firing fireballs and using firewall skills from the Fire Department. Liu Guanfeng also kept using Fire Department skills to slash at the beast.
In just a minute, the Velociraptor had numerous scratches and blood holes on its body, all accompanied by burning flames.
At this point, the Velociraptor had lost all ability to resist and let out a long howl towards the sky.
"This is bad, Master."
"What’s going on?"
"This Little Guy is calling for reinforcements."
"xp, run! The help it's calling for will likely be much stronger."
After issuing the command to retreat, xp didn't even glance at the Velociraptor and immediately turned around to run back along their original path.
Just two minutes after they escaped, two more squads of Velociraptors appeared in the area where they had fought earlier—there were a total of 15 Velociraptors. Each squad included a Seventh Tier Velociraptor.
Seeing two more squads arrive, the injured Velociraptor seemed to say something to the newly arrived squad leaders before heading deeper into the forest. The other two squad leaders then led their squads in pursuit of Liu Guanfeng's escape route.
"xp, can your body still change colors?"
"I can change into any color."
"Then quickly turn green like the grass, so they won't easily spot us. I'll find a place to hide."
"Okay." After saying that, XP's white fur gradually turned green.
"XP, there's a cave ahead. Those dinosaurs probably won't find us there. Let's go inside."
Upon hearing the instructions, XP ran in the direction pointed out by Liu Guanfeng. After running for another two minutes, XP saw the cave Liu Guanfeng mentioned. The cave was indeed small; Liu Guanfeng had to crawl to enter, while XP could easily fit in after shrinking down.
After reaching the entrance, Liu Guanfeng got off XP's back, and XP entered the cave first to check for any dangers. Liu Guanfeng followed closely behind and crawled in. After crawling for nearly five minutes, they discovered a vast stone chamber inside the small cave.
In fact, the small entrance led to a huge stone room. Liu Guanfeng even found a stone bed inside, where a white skeleton lay, still wearing armor, with a sword placed beside it.
"Who is this? Why did he die here?" This was Liu Guanfeng's first reaction upon seeing the skeleton on the bed; he hadn't expected anyone to have died here.
Moreover, there was no decent furniture in the stone chamber—only a stone bed and a stone table. On the table, Liu Guanfeng found a small notebook.
Liu Guanfeng held the notebook and began to flip through it slowly; it was a diary. It recorded the experiences of its owner. Through this diary, Liu Guanfeng learned that this person's name was Zhang Tiandong, from a place known as the Forgotten Continent of the Supreme Deity. It seemed that this Forgotten Continent was not peaceful at all. Zhang Tiandong was a prospective Divine Knight who had reached the level of Divine Knight and was preparing to find a mount to return to his continent and overthrow the current rulers.
When he arrived here, he encountered a Ninth Tier magical beast, the Tyrannosaurus Rex. He was very excited and wanted to tame this mount. However, after making his move, he realized he was no match for the Tyrannosaurus Rex. After being severely injured by it, he fled. At that moment, the Tyrannosaurus Rex began its pursuit, and all the dinosaurs on Earth Dragon Island started hunting down Zhang Tiandong.
He managed to escape into this cave after sacrificing his mount. He planned to heal his injuries before leaving this place, but despair struck him when he realized that his injuries were far more severe than he had imagined; he had no ability to heal himself. If he tried to leave, there were groups of two or three dinosaurs searching for him all over the island.
After a week had passed and having consumed his last bit of food, his life slowly approached its end.
On the last page of the diary, it read:
"To whoever finds this, I couldn't leave you anything except for an armor and a sword. These two items are treasures from my decades of collection. I hope you can do me a favor: send one of these items to my child and keep the other as your reward.
My home is on Luo Heng Island in the Forgotten Continent of the Supreme Deity. My son's name is Zhang Diba. When I left home, my son was only five years old; now he is already ten. I really miss him. Kind-hearted person, please help me.
If you are also a strong Divine Knight, I hope you can go to the Forgotten Continent of the Supreme Deity and help our people escape from this never-ending war so that they can live in peace."
On the last page of the diary, there were still some bloodstains, but by now they had turned black.
Liu Guanfeng put away the diary and approached the stone bed, picking up the sword beside him and slowly drawing it out. Instantly, the temperature in the stone chamber dropped a bit, and a cold light emanated from the sword.
Liu Guanfeng nodded, "Indeed, it is a fine sword. It surpasses my Twin Iron Halberds."
At the very bottom of the sword, two small characters were engraved: "Water Pattern." This should be the name of the sword. The Water Pattern sword—one wonders which master crafted it. I should ask Xuanwu Master when I return.
After placing the sword back in its sheath, he removed the armor from the skeleton. Liu Guanfeng held the armor in both hands, feeling a slight chill pass through his fingers into his body. He examined the armor closely and noticed that water seemed to flow faintly across its surface. When he tapped on it with his hand, ripples spread across the armor.
This armor was undoubtedly not an ordinary item, even if it wasn't a divine artifact. Moreover, on the Heart Shield of the armor, the words "Water Cloud" were engraved. There was no doubt that this was the name of this piece of armor.
In Knight's Great Land, when a blacksmith creates a piece of work he is satisfied with, he will personally name it. Weapons are usually engraved on their handles, while armor is mostly engraved on the Heart Shield.
Liu Guanfeng looked at these two items and then bowed to the skeleton on the bed:
"Rest assured, senior. If one day I truly make it to your place, I will definitely find your son and return these two items to him."
Although Liu Guanfeng preferred these two items, they were not suitable for him. Both were top-tier Water Type equipment, while what Liu Guanfeng needed was non-attribute gear. Using these two items would not only fail to enhance Liu Guanfeng's strength but would actually diminish it.
They would greatly limit Liu Guanfeng's other attributes as well. Especially since he was most adept with Fire Department attributes; if he were to use Earth Attribute gear, this sword and armor would essentially become useless—barely better than an ordinary sword and armor.
