Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 585, Golden Feathered Roc

Translator: Silavin

After the Blade Armour Dragon King’s Levelled Up to 57, the Attribute Enhancement it gave Lu Fan left him too astounded for words.

At this point, the Blade Armour Dragon King’s All Four Attributes had all reached over five hundred thousand and was remarkably balanced across the board.

While not as exaggerated as Xiao Zuo and Xiao You’s Attributes, which exceeded over a million each, the Little Blade Armour Dragon King possessed capabilities that Xiao Zuo and Xiao You lacked.

Simply equipping it allowed Ly Fan to gain access to the Blade Armour and Armour Hooks, which could elevate Lu Fan’s Combat Power by an entire tier.

One could say that although Lu Fan’s Attributes when equipped with the Blade Armour Dragon King fell somewhat short compared to equipping Xiao Zuo and Xiao You, his actual Combat Power was superior, not inferior.

Moreover, why should Lu Fan not equip both the Little Blade Armour Dragon King and Xiao Zuo and Xiao You at the same time?

Possessing Attributes exceeding ten million while clad in armour and wielding both the Blade Armour and Armour Hooks at will. How magnificent was that?

The Blade Armour Dragon King was indeed vastly different from other Pet Dragons. Even though its Level had increased so dramatically and it had reached its Maturing Phase, its Attribute Panel only showed changes in Attributes and Skill Levels.

Beyond this, it had no other Form Transformation, nor had it comprehended any new Skills.

It seemed like its sole purpose was to serve as a ‘weapon’, whose duty was simply to become increasingly sharp.

As for how much of its potential could be unleashed, that depended entirely upon the wielder’s capabilities.

Through continuous battles in the Wilderness during this period, Lu Fan had been constantly honing his experience and skill in using the Little Blade Armour Dragon King. Now, one could say he had achieved perfect mastery.

The Little Blade Armour Dragon King was arguably the Pet Dragon with the lowest presence among Lu Fan’s Children.

But, it now resembled more of an extension of Lu Fan’s own body.

Regardless, Lu Fan’s westward journey had achieved the desired results.

“Finally, I’m nearly there.” Lu Fan gazed at the overlapping mountain peaks ahead with a small smile.

He was quite familiar with this area. Previously, he had ridden his Divine Bone Clone with Ye Wuxian through this mountain range, officially entering the Western Border thereafter.

Lu Fan’s current appearance was rather peculiar. After a month of surviving in the Wilderness, while he could not be described as dishevelled as a savage, he bore a dusty and weathered appearance of someone who had clearly spent a considerable amount of time in the Wilderness. He would be easily mistaken as a Monster Material Hunter.

This was despite Lu Fan frequently visiting Shadow Isle to resupply for food and clothing from Han Ke and Jian Ying. Without Shadow Isle serving as his rest zone, Lu Fan would undoubtedly resemble a caveman by now.

“When I was on Shadow Isle, I contacted Senior Sister and told her I’d reach the Ye Family today. I wonder if Senior Sister will meet me near the Ye Family?” Lu Fan chuckled at the thought of this. Having spent seven days in the Wilderness without sleep, he was weary and simply wished to reach the Ye Family for some proper rest.

Just as Lu Fan prepared to summon Ye Sha to complete the remaining distance, a cry suddenly echoed from overhead.

Lu Fan looked up and immediately smiled with delight.

Above him, a massive creature soared through the cloud layers.

Without requiring Appraisal, Lu Fan recognised this as a Boss Monster unique to the Western Border called the Golden Feathered Roc.

As a Level 90 Platinum Grade Boss, the Golden Feathered Roc was a rather renowned Monster in the Western Border’s outer regions.

It was a wandering Boss without fixed Territory, moving randomly throughout the Western Border.

According to Ye Wuxian, the Third Tier Ancient Noble Families in the Western Border’s outer regions particularly favoured hunting Golden Feathered Rocs. Though these birds were Platinum Grade Bosses, they were not that formidable. With three to five Fourth Profession Players from a Third Tier Ancient Noble Family coordinating, they could capture one without significant danger.

Each Golden Feathered Roc provided abundant Experience Points, and their materials were both rare and versatile.

Consequently, the Golden Feathered Roc had earned the playful nickname ‘Little Golden Sparrow’.

Lu Fan had heard Ye Wuxian mention this during casual conversations about the Western Border, never expecting to encounter one today.

Lu Fan considered that while he might not value such a Golden Feathered Roc highly, Ye Wuxian might appreciate it.

He decided to capture it as a gift for Ye Wuxian.

With this thought, Lu Fan’s back armour suddenly shot forth a chain hook at a nearly invisible speed, soaring into the clouds and instantly wrapping around one of the Golden Feathered Roc’s legs.

Realising it had been caught, the Golden Feathered Roc became somewhat panicked, crying out while accelerating its flight in an attempt to escape.

Though it was a Platinum Grade Boss, its lacked courage – perhaps one of its defining characteristics.

With Lu Fan’s strength, dragging it down from mid-air would be effortless.

However, Lu Fan did not proceed. Instead, he retracted the chain hook, using the counter-force to launch himself skyward, flying beneath the Golden Feathered Roc and hanging from its body.

Simultaneously, two more chain hooks emerged from Lu Fan’s back, positioning themselves beside the Golden Feathered Roc’s head with sharp blades aimed at its eyes; though they did not strike.

These two chain hooks exerted tremendous pressure upon the Golden Feathered Roc, causing its feathers to bristle as it nearly lost the courage to continue flying.

At this moment, Lu Fan’s voice reached it from below. “With your intelligence, you should understand my words, right?”

“Continue flying forward. I’ll tell you when to stop. Otherwise, these two chain hooks will pierce directly into your skull and instantly kill you. Understand?”

The Golden Feathered Roc could not see Lu Fan beneath it but could sense the immense pressure emanating from him.

Equipped with the Little Blade Armour Dragon King, Lu Fan was basically undefeatable. His aura alone made the Golden Feathered Roc realise it was utterly outmatched.

If the opponent truly wished to kill it, it would certainly just take a single word!

Therefore, it dared not disobey Lu Fan’s commands. After a mournful cry, it continued carrying Lu Fan forward, lacking any courage to resist.

Seeing the Golden Feathered Roc being so compliant, Lu Fan was satisfied. He retracted the two chain hooks and quietly enjoyed the sensation of being carried through flight, reminiscent of riding a glider.

Simultaneously, he pondered to himself that since the Golden Feathered Roc was so obedient, killing it would be rather wasteful.

He wondered whether the Ye Family possessed any Beast Tamer Type Professionals who could Tame this bird.

[Though the Golden Feathered Roc’s combat strength was mediocre, its flight speed, capability to go to higher altitudes, and vision, are all top-tier within its Grade. It was as though Golden Feathered Rocs were made to scout.]

Just as Lu Fan contemplated this, a sudden change occurred!
