Chapter 7

Hydra·Dead Scales (Level 250, Code 250)

In ancient times, this was the mount of the Law God Zeral. Taking advantage of the moment when its magical power fluctuated and disappeared during molting, it transformed into nine small human-like avatars and secretly infiltrated the Death Temple, where it stole the Death God's treasure—the Tears of Time. It was personally pursued and captured by the Death God and imprisoned here for life!

Level 250! This is the most powerful criminal Huang Yi has ever seen, with the earliest code number, and the only one who directly offended the Death God. The Tears of Time must be a treasure that even the Death God values, otherwise, the Death God would not have personally captured this Hydra·Dead Scales.

As the mount of the Law God, Dead Scales should have roamed the world, but even after offending the Death God, it was still captured and imprisoned for life. This shows that the Death God must be an unparalleled and domineering deity, one who does not even give the Law God any face!

Huang Yi looked into the cell. In the huge cell, which was several dozen meters high, a massive body like a small mountain was imprisoned. It was a giant snake with nine huge heads, covered in large scales that faintly glowed in the darkness, emitting a dark and beautiful light that could make one sink into it.

Suddenly, Huang Yi sensed something was wrong. The other criminals usually showed signs of breathing, but this Dead Scales remained completely still! Moreover, Huang Yi vaguely noticed that although the scales on Dead Scales reflected some light, a thin layer of dust covered them, as if it were a corpse that had been dead for countless years!

Could Dead Scales already be dead? Huang Yi couldn't help but make this guess. The Hero Prison has existed since ancient times, and countless years have passed. The oldest criminals he had seen before were from the ancient era, but only this Dead Scales was captured in ancient times! Calculating the time, it has been imprisoned for five eras. No matter how powerful a life form, it cannot withstand such a long passage of time and is likely to have died of old age, which explains the lack of life signs.

Huang Yi decided to personally test the situation.

He squeezed through the door and entered the cell, approaching the mountain-like body of Dead Scales. He extended his hand and touched Dead Scales.

The next moment, Dead Scales showed no reaction, indicating that it was indeed dead.

Huang Yi touched one of the scales on Dead Scales. The scale was as large as a fan and was just a small part of the thousands of scales on its body. However, this scale was noticeably loose. Huang Yi grabbed the scale and pulled it with force!

"Crack!" It sounded like the friction of iron sheets, and the scale was pulled out!

Huang Yi wiped the dust off the scale, which immediately became shiny and lustrous, extremely tough and extraordinary. He stored the scale in his storage ring. This was a material from a Level 250 boss, and it should be a treasure.

Next, Huang Yi continued to search the body of Dead Scales but did not find any more loose scales.

He left the cell and continued walking. However, he did not encounter any more corpses; all the criminals he saw were alive.

After passing several intersections, Huang Yi suddenly stopped, no longer wandering aimlessly.

He always felt that something was missing in this prison.

The prison was too lifeless. All he saw were imprisoned criminals, but he did not see any patrolling guards. A prison must have guards, just like a detention center, otherwise, it would be chaotic.

Huang Yi's task was to kill one of the criminals. If there were guards, he could seek their help, giving him a direction. However, this prison was like a maze, and finding a guard was like looking for a needle in a haystack!

Huang Yi decided to die once to see the situation at the resurrection point. He looked at a nearby cell, where a giant orc, about fifty to sixty meters tall, was imprisoned. It was sleeping, its mountain-like body rising and falling rhythmically, seemingly unaware of Huang Yi's presence.

Huang Yi picked up an iron rod from the ground, squeezed through the door, and approached the orc. He swung the iron rod and stabbed it into the orc's abdomen.

"Clang!" The iron rod hit the orc's belly, making a sound like metal striking stone. The orc's belly looked soft but was as hard as iron, impervious to blades and spears, and the attack did no damage, as if he were tickling it.

The orc finally reacted, like being bitten by a louse, and turned over, continuing to sleep.

However, this turn of the orc's body pressed Huang Yi to death.

Huang Yi's vision went dark, and he heard two system prompts.

[System Prompt]: Congratulations, you have achieved [Achievement]—[First Death]. Achievement Value +1. [First Death]: First time dying.

[System Prompt]: You have been killed by the Hell Orc. Do you wish to resurrect?

Tip: Before level 10, death can only result in resurrection at the camp, with a one-level drop. After level 10, in addition to resurrection at the camp, there is a chance of forced reincarnation—randomly resurrecting in a region of the Second World, with a one-level drop, and recovering one level per day until the original level is restored.

In the darkness, Huang Yi received two system prompts and gained an achievement, but this achievement was not difficult and could be obtained by anyone, far from comparing to the unique achievement announced earlier for Blade.

Next, Huang Yi chose to resurrect.

The darkness faded, and light returned to Huang Yi's vision. This time, he appeared in a stone room glowing with a golden light. The room was as large as a football field, with walls made entirely of golden-yellow stones, giving the entire room a sacred and golden glow, like a holy hall, in stark contrast to the darkness of the Hero Prison.

Huang Yi looked around but did not see anything special. The room was empty, seemingly just a regular resurrection point.

On the right side of the room was a door. Huang Yi walked over and gently pushed it open, but he stopped and looked outside cautiously.

At that moment, five people were standing outside the door. They wore black robes, revealing only their faces, with green eyes and red ears, looking quite strange.

The leader was a long-faced man with narrow eyes and a pale, sickly complexion, appearing weak and frail, as if he were seriously ill.

"Excuse me, are you the Chosen One?" The long-faced man asked, staring curiously at Huang Yi.
