Chapter 644 - Sub Legendary Blueprin (1/2)

“How many flying mounts do we have on hand right now?” Nie Yan asked.

“Only three,” Paladin of the Elegy replied. Most of the first-rate members with flying mounts had already gone off to do their class advancement quests.

“Have them take to the air and scout out all the flying mounts in this area, then report back to me. We’re going to start capturing flying mounts,” Nie Yan said.

Paladin of the Elegy’s eyes blanked. Capturing flying mounts? How are we going to do that? However, he had full confidence in Nie Yan. He relayed Nie Yan’s orders to the three players with flying mounts, who flew up above the fog and started searching for other flying monsters in the vicinity.

“Have some people cut down some trees and get us some wood.”

Following Nie Yan’s arrangements, the team got to work. Some went around gathering materials and crafting simple cages to make a flying monster prison block. Others spread out and were put on lookout duty. They all couldn’t help but wonder what Nie Yan was trying to accomplish.

About half-an-hour later, the preparations were complete. Nie Yan summoned his Darkwing Dragon, who was already fully recovered from the previous fight.

The Darkwing Dragon’s appearance immediately attracted everyone’s attention. They looked up in awe at this all-imposing monster. Its enormous frame was completely covered in ashen scales reflecting a deep black lustre, as if it were cast from molten steel.

“Boss, is it just me or did your Darkwing Dragon get a lot bigger?”

“I don’t recall it having that many scales before.”

The players broke out in lively discussion. Ever since Nie Yan’s aerial battle with the forces of Alliance of Mages, the Darkwing Dragon had become quite famous. After getting to see it up close again, they were once more awed by its appearance.

“It ranked up,” Nie Yan confirmed with a faint smile.

Everyone was stunned. The Darkwing Dragon had ranked up? It was Rank 6 before. Didn’t that mean it was Rank 7 now!?

Excluding the Darkwing Dragon, the highest rank flying mount they had encountered so far was only Rank 5.

Nie Yan was truly a legend. Be it his Golden Dragon, Darkwing Dragon, or Zennarde’s Sword, everything he owned was shocking beyond belief.

There were rankings that could be found online. At the top of the rankings for pets, flying mounts, and weapons were the Golden Dragon, Darkwing Dragon, and Zennarde’s Sword respectively.

Seeing the Darkwing Dragon, everyone couldn’t help but sigh in admiration. At this moment, Nie Yan received a report. A Wind Serpent was spotted to the south.

Nie Yan hopped onto the Darkwing Dragon. It flapped its wings and took off for the south.

Several minutes later, a player riding an Achlys Dragonfly met up with Nie Yan.

“Boss!”

“Northsky, where’s the Wind Serpent?”

Northsky pointed Nie Yan in the right direction. Nie Yan looked over and saw a Wind Serpent perched on top of a tree among the low-hanging clouds. It was noticeably larger than ordinary Wind Serpents, with a mottled pattern design on its transparent wings, which looked similar to those of a dragonfly. On a branch of the tree also sat a nest with two large white eggs.

Nie Yan’s eyebrows raised in surprise. It was actually a Rank 5 Wind Serpent, not to mention it was buy one get two free. They had really hit it big this time!

In order to obtain a flying mount, you could either find an egg and have a Beast Tamer hatch it, or directly capture a full grown one and tame it. The second method was obviously much harder. Unless you could completely restrain it, the chances of success were near zero. Flying monsters were wild and dangerous. In the process of taming it, it could suddenly lash out and attack you.

“After I capture the Wind Serpent, make sure to go in and collect the two eggs,” Nie Yan said. He then flew over toward the Wind Serpent on his Darkwing Dragon.

“Understood!” Northsky replied. He was curious as to how Nie Yan was going to capture the Wind Serpent.

Noticing the Darkwing Dragon’s approach, the Wind Serpent immediately raised its head on high alert. It eyed both the rider and flying mount, letting out hissing sounds with its red tongue. Like a mother protecting her nest, this was the usual first warning.

The Darkwing Dragon let out a deep roar. This lowly Wind Serpent actually dared to challenge its prestige? A powerful dragon aura swept out.

The Wind Serpent trembled, shrinking back its body and appearing much less imposing than before. However, it refused to leave its nest.

Nie Yan jumped off the Darkwing Dragon and landed on the ground. After entering stealth, he sped toward the Wind Serpent and climbed up the tree.
