"Snap~"
A pair of blue and brown boots stepped on a tile, making a crisp sound, and the tile broke in response.
At this mont, the owner of the boots was cautiously walking through an abandoned manor filled with ruins.
In this vast manor, only a few buildings were still standing tall.
The rest had long since beco a pile of rubble.
The man in the fiery red robe suddenly stopped, carefully observing his surroundings, as if to confirm sothing.
After a mont, he moved again towards a low house in the near distance.
This house now only had a skeleton that seed like it could be blown over by the wind at any mont, and half-crumbled walls, with most of the roof flipped over long ago.
It's hard to imagine how this dilapidated cottage survived the onslaught of ti and stood until now.
This must have been a single bedroom, with so simple furnishings left inside, including a collapsed bed and a few broken tables and chairs.
After cautiously approaching, the man gently pushed open the small door half-hanging on the wall and carefully walked inside.
At that mont, a voice suddenly sounded in the room:
"You're here."
This unexpected voice startled the man, and he replied:
"I'm here following Torion's instructions, to deliver the task."
The man looked around, surveying the surroundings.
In this narrow space, he could not discover where the voice had co from.
At this ti, Lin Yi stood incredulously in the room, staring at everything before him.
Because he couldn't find this mory in his mind at all!
Why was he here?
Who was the person speaking?
And who was Torion from past lives he ntioned?
Lin Yi had no clue about anything here.
Looking around, Lin Yi guessed that the person was hiding sowhere in this shabby house.
Perhaps due to the unique scene, Lin Yi also couldn't see the figure stealthily hiding around.
The special effect of the Totem Badge had lost its effect at this mont.
Suddenly, Lin Yi watched his past self pull out a transparent jade bottle from his backpack.
The jade bottle was the size of a fist.
Inside it was a drop of red liquid resembling a fla, burning.
As Lin Yi saw this jade bottle, a mory suddenly surged into his mind, an expression of disbelief on his face:
"Dragon Blood!"
This jade bottle contained a drop of real Dragon Blood Lin Yi had obtained during a hidden task!
Lin Yi once thought he could sell this drop of [Dragon Blood] and beco wealthy.
But one day, when Lin Yi woke up, he found not a trace of [Dragon Blood] in his backpack or storage.
Lin Yi vividly rembered that he had checked the official website for a list of items he had obtained.
But no matter how hard he investigated, he found no trace of this [Dragon Blood].
For a long ti, Lin Yi thought he had just had a long and exceedingly realistic dream.
Over ti, he paid it no mind.
But unexpectedly, he encountered it again here:
"Damn!"
And it was taken out by 'himself'!
When Lin Yi saw his past self take out this drop of [Dragon Blood], he felt his hair stand on end.
Lin Yi couldn't help but loudly question:
"What the hell is going on!"
At this mont, Lin Yi felt his nerves were about to unravel.
The loud voice echoed in the room; Lin Yi looked up at the sky, knowing there was soone watching every move he made.
However, no matter how Lin Yi shouted, there was no response around him.
At this mont, Lin Yi was further horrified:
When his past self handed out the jade bottle containing the Dragon Blood, a hand erged from the void to receive it.
No!
It couldn't be called a hand!
To be more precise, it was like a lizard's claw, covered with dense scales.
And it only had four fingers, tipped with sharp, hooked claws!
What amazed Lin Yi was that he could only see the opponent's single arm; most of the opponent's body was still invisible.
It was as if there was a Gate of Space-Ti in front of him.
The being from another space-ti accepted the [Dragon Blood] his past self handed over through this gate.
After receiving the jade bottle containing [Dragon Blood], the creature—whether human or monster—disappeared again.
But from the void ca the genuine voice of appreciation:
"Although it's just the lowest level of Sky Dragon's Blood, it's truly the Dragon Race's blood."
"Good, good, very good."
Lin Yi followed the voice to its source, but apart from the voice, there was nothing perceptible at all.
After the entity received the [Dragon Blood], Lin Yi's past self finally spoke:
"I've given you the item. So, where's my task reward?"
However, as the words were spoken, the other party fell silent.
"Damn it."
"Did I et a fraud?"
It was clear that his past self's face showed a panicked expression:
"Are you still there? Speak up!"
"Don't ss with !"
Market price for such a drop of [Dragon Blood]—at least tens of thousands of Gold Coins, if not more.
That was equivalent to several months' inco in his previous life!
Watching his past self in distress, the current Lin Yi could empathize completely.
To his pre-rebirth self, tens of thousands of Gold Coins was indeed a substantial fortune.
Suddenly losing such a sum was nearly like losing half his life.
But it was clear that the other party did not default but instead delivered a cryptic laugh:
"Don't worry, you won't miss out."
While speaking, a spherical object flew out from the void.
Upon seeing the sphere, Lin Yi was instantly dumbfounded:
"This is... [Punishnt Treasure Pearl]?"
This was exactly what the system rewarded Lin Yi in this life upon reaching Lv10.
The original version of Lin Yi's current weapon, [Radiant Treasure Pearl].
In Lin Yi's mory, his past self had never seen this weapon!
What happened next left Lin Yi even more dumbfounded; his past self, after receiving the ball, glanced at the attributes with speechlessness:
"Only a Lv10 Epic Level Weapon?"
"I'm over Lv60 now, dude, was there a mistake?"
Yet the other side laughed and said:
"No mistake."
"You'll use it soday."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's past self flared up imdiately:
"Are you serious?"
But in the next mont, Lin Yi's past self suddenly vanished on the spot, and Lin Yi instantly realized he was forcefully logged out by the system.
As his past self disappeared, the orb fell from his hand.
Instinctively, Lin Yi wanted to catch it, but that scaly claw grabbed the orb first.
Under Lin Yi's incredulous gaze, a humanoid creature appeared in front of him.
Its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales, with two horns growing from its head, and a thick tail swinging behind it.
What sent a chill through Lin Yi was the sight of the creature holding the orb, staring straight at him, their eyes eting.
That gaze seed to pierce the boundaries of ti and space, the being calmly saying to Lin Yi:
"I've been waiting for you for a long ti."
