When Brexspire took out the dragon egg, Nie Yan’s gaze fell upon this black dragon egg. He seemed to sense the little living creature inside, its strong and vigorous pulse brimming with powerful energy.
It was a dragon egg, and not just any dragon egg—it was top-tier, even stronger than the Golden Earth Dragon! The thought flashed through Nie Yan’s mind. When he heard the words “Darkwing Dragon,” his heart trembled. It was actually the Darkwing Dragon! He never expected it to be a high-ranking dragon species!
Whatever Brexspire took out could never be anything less than exceptional!
Among all flying mounts, the most common were bird-type mounts. Bird-type mounts were generally low-tier, with only a few high-level exceptions like Thunderbirds and Phoenixes. There were also some unusual mounts, such as Manticore and Wind Serpents. Among all mounts, dragons were the highest-ranked. Among dragons, the Golden Earth Dragon was considered relatively common, and even after consuming mutated energy crystals, it was only ranked mid to upper-tier. The Darkwing Dragon, however, was undoubtedly a high-tier dragon species.
Among the most elite dragons were Celestial Dragons, Black Dragons, and Magic Dragons, and the Darkwing Dragon was among them.
If even the legendary barbarian swordsman, Brexspire, wanted to hatch it and use it as a mount, one could imagine how precious it was.
This was the reward for defeating the legendary undead mage, Nadago. Nie Yan naturally deserved it.
Nie Yan carefully cradled the Darkwing Dragon egg in his hands.
“I don’t know when it will hatch, but I can sense that it’s close. I hope it will bring you to greatness,” Brexspire said.
Through the Darkwing Dragon egg, Nie Yan faintly saw the outline of the juvenile dragon inside. Dark light radiated from it, making the living room shimmer with a dreamlike glow.
“Thank you, respected Mr. Brexspire,” Nie Yan respectfully said. In his previous life, very few players had flying mounts. People fought fiercely over them, and many teams even disbanded because of internal conflicts.
In his past life, Nie Yan could only envy those who summoned their flying mounts and soared into the sky from the square in Carol City. Flying mounts were luxuries he could only dream of. Yet in this life, he had actually obtained such a high-tier flying mount.
How could Nie Yan not be excited?
Only because he had experienced two lifetimes did he truly understand the value of a flying mount.
Nie Yan placed the Darkwing Dragon egg into his mount space. He didn’t know how long it would take for the egg to hatch, but once it did, it would undoubtedly become the aerial overlord.
At the moment Nie Yan placed the Darkwing Dragon egg into his bag, suddenly a system message popped up.
System Announcement: Player Nieyan has obtained a flying mount, triggering the flying mount system. The flying mount system will officially open in two days.
System Announcement: System update in progress. This update will last for three days, during which normal gameplay will not be affected…
System Announcement: Skill adjustments. The difficulty of class-changing quests is reduced by 11%, and the drop rate of free skill books is increased by 13%…
Nie Yan didn’t expect such an unexpected event. He recalled that in his previous life, there had indeed been a system update. Since it was only a few system announcements, he had long forgotten their details, only remembering that a player had triggered the flying mount system, after which flying mounts became available.
He never expected that this time, it was he who triggered the flying mount system.
The guild chat of the Niuren Tribe immediately exploded.
“Did Leader Nieyan really trigger the flying mount system?”
“Wow, the system update is happening! Leader Nieyan is too awesome—he got the first flying mount!”
“What kind of flying mount did Nieyan get?”
“Nobody knows!”
The official forums were also buzzing. Everyone was discussing what mount Nie Yan had obtained and the details of the system update. The appearance of flying mounts sparked endless speculation among players, who imagined what aerial combat would be like in the future.
“I heard flying mounts are different from regular mounts. If a flying mount dies once, it can’t be resurrected.”
The idea that a flying mount couldn’t be resurrected once dead sent chills down players’ spines. If someone went through great efforts to obtain a flying mount, only to lose it permanently upon its death, that would be a huge loss.
“I heard Faith also has a servant system, and servants can’t be resurrected either once they die.”
This was the rule of Faith. Since flying mounts and servants were too powerful, even the weakest bird-type flying mounts had formidable combat abilities. Diving from the sky to attack a player, few ordinary players could withstand such an assault. Therefore, the Core had imposed a restriction: all flying mounts only had one life. Normally, they couldn’t be resurrected after death unless one could obtain extremely rare items like resurrection crystals, which might grant one or two resurrection chances.
Besides flying mounts, there was also the servant system. Each guild leader of a guild ranked above level 8 had the chance to recruit powerful servants. For example, Nie Yan had previously received the Ten Holy Knights Legendary Quest. By rescuing the trapped Holy Knights, he could make Karl his servant!
Karl was an almost legendary figure, an immensely powerful existence!
If even someone like Karl could be recruited as a servant, one could imagine that if Karl could be resurrected infinitely, all cities would be reduced to rubble under his legendary magic.
Having only one life meant an even greater challenge.
Once the flying mount system was activated, many things Nie Yan remembered had changed. Even skills were altered. History had once again deviated from its course, and this time, it was beyond control.
History was now heading into unpredictable territory. Nie Yan could only rely on his own strength to control his destiny!
Nieyan obtaining a flying mount immediately drew the attention of every player. No matter where players were, they were all talking about this. On the official forums, the challenge notices from Kuanshen and Tuoluo were buried so deeply that they couldn’t be found anymore. It was as if Kuanshen and Tuoluo had been forgotten in a corner.
“You got a flying mount? What kind?” Guo Huai sent Nie Yan a message asking.
“What flying mount? Just an egg. It hasn’t hatched yet. I don’t know how long it will take,” Nie Yan replied.
“A dragon egg? Looks like you’re going to have another dragon,” Guo Huai said, assuming the Darkwing Dragon was at the same level as the Golden Earth Dragon. In reality, there was a huge difference between the two.
Nie Yan smiled. He would talk about the Darkwing Dragon once it hatched.
“What about Kuanshen and Tuoluo? Now that the discussions about them have quieted down, everyone is talking about flying mounts.”
“Just ignore them for now. When I feel like it, I’ll play with them later. Let Shui Se, Dao Guang, and the others do whatever they need to do.”
