The Game with Fairies-Chapter 283 - Ascension
Chapter 283: Ascension
The river was turbulent and very wide, about two li in width.
In the vast river, the surging sediment brought many rich nutrients.
Schools of fish of various sizes swam in the river, along with the dense aquatic plants and the occasional shrimp and crab.
The river was as lively as an aquarium.

Li Muyang lay motionless among the aquatic plants, his eyes fixed on a school of fish swimming by, but he did not attack.
Ordinary small fish and shrimp did not interest him.
They provided too little nutrition, so Li Muyang was waiting for something bigger.
In such a wide river, there were no shortage of big creatures.
Li Muyang even saw a several-zhang-long pitch-black catfish swim by, its fat body emitting a fishy smell that instinctively set off alarms in the body of the Moon-Biting Dragon.
At less than two zhang, the Moon-Biting Dragon was not particularly strong in this river.
The only remarkable thing was the Moon-Biting Dragon’s ability to control water.
He had tested it carefully. He could control the water around him within a radius of about one zhang.
The longest he could maintain control was ten minutes before depleting his mana bar.
The newly awakened True Dragon bloodline of the Moon-Biting Dragon seemed somewhat weak.
But Li Muyang was very patient and not in a hurry at all.
He lay in ambush among the aquatic plants, and when a suitable target appeared in his field of vision, Li Muyang’s body, hidden among the plants, shot out like an arrow.
His ability to control water allowed him to use the currents to drag his body at high speed.
The catfish passing by did not even have time to react before Li Muyang bit into its eye, and his slippery, pitch-black body was tightly entangled.
Caught off guard, the catfish thrashed wildly trying to break free from Li Muyang.
However, as Li Muyang entangled it, he also activated his water control ability, causing the water within a one-zhang radius to compress fiercely against the catfish’s body.
The combination of bodily entanglement and the pressure of the water flow quickly caused the catfish to stiffen up, and the sound of bones being crushed could be heard from within.
Soon, the catfish stopped moving.
Li Muyang then clung to the catfish’s body and began to chew on its flesh in small bites in the water.
Whether it was scales, flesh, or bones, Li Muyang’s strong teeth could easily crush and swallow them.
Before long, a nearly one-zhang-long catfish was eaten by Li Muyang, leaving only its skeleton.
A huge amount of fish flesh entered Li Muyang’s stomach, but the body of the Moon-Biting Dragon did not show any significant swelling.
Only the BUFF 【Fatigue】 appeared on the character’s blood bar.
Li Muyang moved his body and hid under a rock stirred by the aquatic plants, beginning to digest.
At this time, the 【Wound】 debuff was still continuously draining blood, but as Li Muyang continued to hunt and eat, his blood bar gradually filled back up.
Now, Li Muyang’s blood bar was almost full, and the newly digested catfish provided a large amount of nutrients and experience points.
Li Muyang lay among the aquatic plants digesting, watching the blood bar continuously 【+1】, and the prompt 【Experience Points +1】 popping up, feeling somewhat expectant.
According to his estimate, he should level up after eating this catfish.
Will the ability to control water increase after leveling up?
While pondering, the 【Experience +1】 prompt that kept popping up above Li Muyang’s head soon came to a halt.
The next second, Li Muyang felt a jolt in his body, and for a fleeting moment, he experienced a sensation as if his soul had ascended, looking down upon all living beings.
This feeling lasted only an instant.
When his consciousness returned to the body of the Moon-Biting Dragon, he saw that its size had increased somewhat.
The Moon-Biting Dragon, originally just over a zhang long, was now about two zhang in length, clearly having grown quite a bit.
Moreover, in the character card, there was an additional skill.
【Toxin】.
Having leveled up to LV2, the Moon-Biting Dragon had evolved a poisonous attack.
“I mean, isn’t this process of devouring and evolving the same as with the Emerald Blade Mantis?”
Li Muyang was somewhat curious.
He felt that this game must be more than just simple devouring and evolving.
While still contemplating, a system prompt suddenly popped up in Li Muyang’s field of vision.
【Act One——《The Dying Dragonkin》 has been cleared】
【You may claim your settlement reward】
【Time remaining until the opening of Act Two—23:59:57】
The system’s prompt made Li Muyang pause for a moment.
“Is it a periodic settlement? And I have to wait a day for the next act?”
This remaining countdown was clearly a clock.
Li Muyang was encountering a game with periodic settlements and this intermittent style of play for the first time.
Even in 《Deadly Weed》, one could enter different stages of the game content at any time.
This was his first encounter with a game that required waiting for the opening time.
Curious, Li Muyang chose to claim the settlement and saw the settlement rewards appear in his field of vision.
【Cultivation +10%】
The next second, Li Muyang felt a surge of spiritual energy suddenly emerge within the sea of qi in his dantian.
This extremely pure spiritual energy continuously flowed into the burning golden core star within the dantian, making the star burn even more vigorously.
【Golden Core Stage Late Stage (11%)】
Li Muyang opened his eyes, opened the character card, and saw his cultivation experience bar.
Without giving him a choice, it directly added 10% to his cultivation.
Li Muyang shook his head: “This game is indeed different from the previous ones.”
Whether it was the content of the game or the method of rewards, it was unique.
It’s just unknown whether this game, like other games, will also have an impact on reality.
After pondering for a while, Li Muyang closed his eyes and entered 《Deadly Weed》 to spend time with Xiao Yecao, enjoying the scenery and playing daily tasks in the game.
Outside the room, on the flying boat, there was silence.
Most of the Hall of Enforcement disciples were cultivating, with only a few chatting on the deck.
The blazing sun shone through the clouds, casting brilliant and intense sunlight upon the dozens of flying boats.
The massive formation brought an immense sense of oppression, and all the birds encountered along the way kept their distance, not daring to approach the formidable fleet of flying boats.
......
Nightfall, accompanied by the rising sun, swiftly retreated across the land.
As the continent where Li Muyang was located gradually fell into the darkness of night, far away at the other end of the Sea of Mist, in the north of the Heavenly Origin Continent, a small fishing boat carrying three fishermen entered the rapid and vast river channel.
And further away in the foothills, a pure white Moon-Biting Dragon, chasing a wild rabbit, leaped into the river.
She strangled the rabbit in the water and joyfully gnawed at its flesh.
But at that moment, a half-zhang-long fish suddenly swam past her.
Seeing this fish, the Moon-Biting Dragon, who had just digested her food and was about to rest, immediately pounced.
She chased after the fish, trying to bite it to death.
However, during the chase, the water suddenly burst, and a fishing spear ruthlessly pierced the body of the Moon-Biting Dragon.
She felt an unbearable pain, her vision went dark, and she was lifted out of the water by the steel fork and roughly thrown into a wooden barrel.
Feeling her life force ebbing away, the young and naive Moon-Biting Dragon was filled with panic!
She had only just begun to develop some intelligence and understand a few things, but this also made her understand fear.
Was she going to die just like this...
The Moon-Biting Dragon was in utter despair.
But at that moment, she seemed to hear a man’s voice.
“...start!”
The next second, before the Moon-Biting Dragon could react, she felt a severe pain.
It seemed as if something very large was forcibly stuffed into her body.
Immediately after, she was shocked to find that she had lost control of her body.
A man’s voice resounded within her.
“This Flood Dragon... is so damn small!”
“Does this even qualify as a Flood Dragon?”
For some reason, at the moment she heard these words, she felt an urge to hide.
Shame... was this shame?
The Moon-Biting Dragon, who had only developed intelligence a few days ago, was somewhat bewildered and at a loss at this moment...
