Thousand Wood Forest Camp.
As the territory designated by the System for the Undead Faction, this place was saturated with Undead colors. Approaching the Thousand Wood Forest, the withered trees stood menacingly, their gnarled branches reaching out like claws, while some Gorgeous bones protruded from the soil around their roots, creating a truly eerie atmosphere.
At this moment, Thousand Wood Forest Camp was quiet, with only the patrolling Undead Soldiers gripping their spears and standing firm at their posts. As for the majority of the other Undead Soldiers, in a manner that Yi Tianchen could not comprehend, it could be said that Undead also needed to sleep and rest.
After dismounting from the carriage, Yi Tianchen headed straight inside and soon arrived at the command center of the camp—a grass hut supported by four seemingly decaying pillars!
Though simple, the hut provided shelter from the wind and rain. A solitary oil lamp emitted a faint yellow light, while scattered moonlight filtered through the leaves. Fireflies danced among the surrounding bushes, accompanied by various bird calls and insect chirps, creating a tranquil night in the camp.
Inside the hut stood Uke, the lord of Thousand Wood Forest. Tall and imposing, he rested his hand on the hilt of his sword, facing towards Southern Wilderness City, standing proudly like a solid iron tower.
"Great Lord..."
Yi Tianchen approached respectfully, but before he could continue, Uke turned around. The two fiery eyes visible through his finely crafted helmet glared fiercely as he declared, "Those despicable humans believe they can be safe by building tall castles, unaware that we lie in wait at their doorstep."
"Uh..."
Feeling slightly offended by being labeled as despicable, Yi Tianchen nodded in agreement while quickly changing the subject. He produced a letter given to him by Lord Dolan of South Wilderness City, stating firmly, "Great Lord, this is a letter from Lord Dolan of South Wilderness City."
"What?"
"Great Lord, please allow me to tell you a story. After hearing this story, I will obey any decision you make!"
Taking a deep breath, Yi Tianchen noticed that as he mentioned the letter, Uke had shifted from resting his hand on the sword hilt to gripping it tightly. The change in tone indicated that he was ready to draw his sword at any moment. Thus, he quickly sought a stabilizing statement.
"Hmph! You dare to conspire with those despicable humans? I want to hear what you have to say."
Yi Tianchen was left speechless; if this accusation were proven true, it would indeed be serious! He quickly organized his thoughts and recounted the specific details mentioned by Lord Dolan of South Wilderness City, adding some embellishments of his own. Finally, he managed to narrate the entire story clearly and concisely.
"Is it true that such things have happened?"
In the Thousand Wood Forest, Lord Uke seemed to have a wild imagination, but his grip on the sword hilt relaxed. After wandering back and forth for two or three minutes, he finally looked up and said, "This matter is quite strange. I need to think it over thoroughly."
"What about this letter..."
"I will take care of this letter for now. If what you say is true, I will send it to the leader with utmost urgency. However, if you are lying, do not blame me for being ruthless; I will ensure you meet a terrible fate to appease the spirits of the soldiers of the Blood Phantom Empire!"
"..."
Yi Tianchen felt a jolt in his heart; this was rather serious, wasn't it?
After hastily dealing with the situation, he heard the notification that the mission was complete. Regardless of how many rewards there were, Yi Tianchen quickly changed the subject and made his escape, fearing that if he lingered any longer, everything would be exposed, and he would indeed face a dire end.
Leaving the Thousand Wood Forest Camp, Yi Tianchen still had a knot in his heart—an unresolved issue that kept him from sleeping peacefully. He opened his friend list and briefly explained things to Liu Yuhan before finding the camp's warehouse manager to retrieve a stone that shimmered with seven colors.
This was the Divine Shadow Stone that Yi Tianchen had received as a reward from the System after defeating Fire Dragon Yudaan under circumstances beyond ordinary understanding. Its specific function was to enhance an item of Celestial Artifact grade through forging and refining into a top-tier artifact.
Now, thanks to Lord Dolan of South Wilderness City’s assistance, Dragon's Roar had already been upgraded from its initial spirit weapon status to a Celestial Artifact. With the help of the Divine Shadow Stone for further forging and refining, elevating it to an artifact was merely a matter of minutes. How could Yi Tianchen not be excited? How could he not look forward to it?
After leaving Thousand Wood Forest Camp, Yi Tianchen drove swiftly along the road heading southeast. After passing through Southern Wilderness City and South City Gate, he turned towards familiar territory at Black Wind Stronghold's leveling area and soon reached Maple Village's entrance.
Presenting his Maple Village VIP Medal, Yi Tianchen's entry into the village went smoothly. As he walked straight ahead, he could already hear the crisp sound of hammering from afar. Approaching under the dim light, he saw Dwarf Blacksmith Kahn vigorously hammering away at a glowing red iron block.
"Village Chief!"
Yi Tianchen approached and looked at the short but robust old blacksmith before him. He felt somewhat emotional; compared to their last encounter when he had unsealed Dragon's Roar, Dwarf Blacksmith Kahn seemed much older now, though his eyes still sparkled with vitality from yesterday.
Blacksmith Kahn set down his work and looked up in surprise. "What brings you here? It's so late; do you need something from this old man?"
"I need your help!"
Without beating around the bush, Yi Tianchen pulled out the Divine Shadow Stone from his pack and released Dragon's Roar's hidden glow. In an instant, the seven-colored light emitted by the Divine Shadow Stone combined with the multicolored radiance of Dragon's Roar spread like a fountain throughout the entire grass shed.
Blacksmith Kahn's eyes suddenly sparkled with a glimmer, but then dimmed again as he shook his head and said, "You want the old man to forge Dragon's Roar into a divine artifact? Although I long for the moment when Dragon's Roar shines with brilliance, I cannot do that."
"Why... why not?" Yi Tianchen asked in surprise.
Blacksmith Kahn stroked his grizzled beard and said meaningfully, "Do you remember when I mentioned Dragon's Roar? I said that although it was forged exquisitely and required a great deal of effort from the Dwarves, it is the weakest among the Three Divine Weapons?"
Yi Tianchen nodded.
"But why did Dragon's Roar later become the most powerful of the Three Divine Weapons?"
"Because the Dwarves united with the Elves to slay a dragon and sealed its Dragon Soul within the sword, allowing Dragon's Roar to unleash its full strength and ferocity."
"That's right!"
Blacksmith Kahn nodded and continued, "Without the Dragon Soul, Dragon's Roar is merely an ordinary Divine Weapon. Now that the power of the Dragon Soul has not been activated, forging Dragon's Roar into a divine artifact will forever prevent it from shining with its former brilliance. You need to think this through."
Yi Tianchen was taken aback and quickly stored away Dragon's Roar and the Divine Shadow Stone with lightning speed.
