Chapter 10 Lilith's Professional Judgment
The azure flames illuminated the deepest room in the prison, and the scene inside shocked Lilith and Latania.

The room was thirty stories high, and was filled with black mist. The ceiling was covered with blue magic stones, like a sky full of stars.

In the very center of the room, there lay a terrifying black dragon.

Although the room was large, most of the space was occupied by the dragon's body. Even when it was just coiled, the dragon was hundreds of meters long, with its four claws entangled in chains and its two huge wings nailed to the wall with iron stakes.

"This is... this is a dragon! Mr. Li Cheng, this is a real dragon!"

Latanya raised her hand excitedly.

There have always been legends about dragons in the Tianming Continent. In all myths, dragons symbolize strength, power and magic.

Dragons are full of infinite temptation to all beings who study supernatural powers.

Even Lilith's lips trembled, and she looked at Li Cheng with confusion.

The information she obtained before coming to this world did not mention that there was a giant dragon imprisoned deep underground in the witch's prison.

There was no mention of any prayer to open the secret room in the prison.

But Li Cheng knew everything.

Not only that, Li Cheng also knew that Latania had so much abstract magic in her hands, and knew what kind of treasures the guards in the underground prison had.

His understanding of this world is even deeper than that of the goddess herself.

How is this possible?
Lilith stared at Li Cheng blankly, recalling the scenes during their time together.

Game, he said this world is a game, he said... I am the system...

Wait, could it be that...

Lilith's eyes narrowed and a flash of lightning flashed through her head!
"I understand!"

Lilith suddenly pulled out a booklet from behind her and quickly turned to page 112, section 6, paragraph 12.

[The Second Coming: On the surface, this seems to be the first time he is summoned, but in fact, he is the savior who has come back many times.

[They failed to save the world countless times, and responded to the goddess's call countless times, just because they could not forget the precarious world.

[They know many secrets hidden in this world, but they forget them due to their self-protection mechanism, and will only remember them slowly as time goes by.

[Most of these saviors suffered serious psychological trauma during the last time they saved the world, and are prone to savior syndrome.]

[This symptom will often disappear slowly after successfully saving the world.]

"It matches! It matches everything!" Lilith chuckled, her sharp eyes seeing through everything: "The cause of Li Cheng's illness has been found! I knew it, how could there be a savior born like this in this world!"

"That's right, Li Cheng is the one who came again! His mental illness is caused by witnessing the destruction of the world!"

"Let me take another look. The next person is a savior who can be encountered without asking for help. He has extremely strong abilities. If you meet him, you must cherish him. In addition, the goddess tribe should try their best to heal his psychological trauma... So that's how it is!"

Lilith closed the booklet and looked at Li Cheng again, with a much more loving look in her eyes.

Thinking about it this way, everything Li Cheng did had a reasonable explanation.

No wonder he would use such a contrived method to deal with the humanoid Chimera and the Abyss Dancer. Presumably, he hated these culprits who caused the destruction of the world.

It’s not Li Cheng who is wrong, but this world!

"I didn't expect that the savior I summoned would have such a tragic past. Don't worry, I, Lilith, will definitely heal you, Li Cheng, hehehe..."

Tears of sadness and emotion once again flowed from the corners of Lilith's mouth.

At the same time, she also made up her mind to hold on to Li Cheng's thighs tightly!

This is a rare comeback!

With Li Cheng here, this world is definitely saved!

As long as you hold on to his thighs, there will be no problem with the formalization procedures!

On the other side, Li Cheng was observing the dragon and was not interested in what was in Lilith's mind at all.

According to the process, the room he is in now should be reached in the middle and late stages of the game.

You must obtain a prayer from the Abyss Eye Witch in order to open the hidden mural door and fight the hidden BOSS, the Abyss Dragon.

But this is the process for ordinary players. For Li Cheng, memorizing the entire prayer of only 1700 words in order to speed through it is a very normal thing.

However, even if the door is opened, the Abyss Dragon's consciousness will not descend to trigger the boss battle because the plot has not progressed. The dragon in front of you is just a dead shell.

Of course, Li Cheng’s purpose of opening the door was not to deal with the Abyss Dragon.

After all, the dragon's level is too high and it's a mechanical monster. Even if Li Cheng can fight it now, he can't kill it.

The purpose of his opening the door was to take away the item [Dragon Essence] in advance.

With [Dragon Essence], Li Cheng can accept a side quest in the early stage that can only be accepted in the later stage.

But now, a difficult problem is placed before Li Cheng.

"Logically speaking, I should be able to pick up dragon scales and [Dragon Essence] here, why can't I do that?"

Li Cheng walked around the black dragon for a long time but did not find any shiny items dropped.

"Hey, system, is there a bug here?"

"I've already said it... Never mind..." Lilith's eyes softened as she thought about Li Cheng's tragic past: "Why do you think there's a bug here?"

"The drops that should be here didn't appear."

How do I know what the dropped items you are talking about are... Lilith spread her hands helplessly: "Why don't we leave here first and then - wait, what are you doing?"

Li Cheng was seen with his mouth tilted, and an invisible cyclone was condensing in the palm of his hand.

Obviously, that was the magic [Cutting Technique·Invisible Blade].

The next second, the invisible blade hit the body of the Abyss Dragon, cut off a piece of scale, then rotated and scraped the dragon's face again.

"It is true. Since the spoils of the humanoid chimera have to be cut off by myself, then the dragon scales and the like must also be cut by myself." Li Cheng picked up the scales, and with a thought, he put the scales into Lilith's [Abyss Ring].

Then, he looked at the dragon corpse with a crooked mouth, his eyes full of desire.

That is the desire to obtain precious materials.

How many dragon scales would there be for such a big dragon corpse!
Lilith took a half step back, sweat dripping down her back. "You, you are not planning to... shave off all the scales of this dragon, are you?"

Li Cheng: "Haha, of course not."

Lilith patted her chest: "That's good, I thought..."

Li Cheng: "I don't have that much magic power, only enough to fill the ring halfway."

Lilith: "..."

Ten minutes later.

Latanya felt dazed as she looked at the dragon corpse, which was cut here and there, with its flesh and blood all over the place and its scales in disarray.

Scales = dragon's skin.

So, Li Cheng actually used the magic she invented to skin the dragon?
If you round it off, isn't that the same as killing a dragon?

This has never happened in the history of the blood clan.

This is a feat that countless ancestors with great military achievements have not been able to accomplish.

"Father, Mother." Latanya took two deep breaths and held her head high. "My life is worth it."

Li Cheng, who was standing by, was collecting dragon scales while becoming confused.

The dragon scale has been obtained, but what about the [Dragon Essence]?

Where is this thing hidden? It can’t be in the stomach, right?

Wait, it may not be the dragon's belly, it could also be...

He ran to the bottom of the dragon's corpse, looked up, and sure enough, there was a scale growing in reverse.

The scales were very large, as if they were wrapping something.

A deep blue light was flickering inside.

Obviously, the [Dragon Essence] is behind the scales.

"I remember that the Abyss Dragon was a male character..." Li Cheng condensed an invisible blade in his palm: "Behind these scales, it seems that there is not only source essence, but also... Dragon Whip."
