Chapter 299: Fusion: Dragon-Patterned Bells

As for the item to be fused…

Ji Ye had considered fusing the Red Dragon Shield that he got after killing the Ghostship captain.

Exactly as the players mentioned at the meeting, this shield was related to fire in nature, and he might acquire a new ability that would be useful against the Magma Monsters after the Fusion!

However, Ji Ye changed his mind, because the set of Dragon-Patterned Bronze Bells should be a more appropriate item.

Firstly, considering the Flood Dragon Bloodline, he preferred fusing an eastern dragon to a western one.

Secondly, the Magma Monsters were rather sensitive to soundwaves.

Ji Ye had decided to master a musical instrument for the upcoming battle between settlements.

What musical instrument should he choose?

Naturally, he chose the Dragon-Patterned Bells that contained Transcendent power.

However, could any hero or player on the Twin Dragon Island play bells?

Technically speaking, nobody in the Twin Dragon Mount fort could.

While Yan Qing the Rogue was good at many kinds of musical instruments, the bells, as a court musical instrument, were inaccessible to ordinary people, so he couldn’t play them.

However, while nobody in the Twin Dragon Mount fort could play that, someone in the Musical House could.

The Musical House hero named Yang Lu was exactly the best at bells.

It was also the reason why the natives of the Musical House asked him to defend the Seven Note Guqin Ship. With the power of the bronze bells, he could hold the ship for a while even if the leader of the Magma Monsters came in person!

However, nobody could have foreseen that the Chosen Ones in their own settlement would desert.

Fortunately, the Musical House players felt rather guilty when they killed their own compatriot.

Therefore, they didn’t go too far on Yang Lu. They simply dropped his body into the water after confirming his death.

As a result, it was possible for Ninth Uncle to revive him with the Soul Returning Talisman.

Although the Soul Returning Talisman could only last a day, it was enough for Ji Ye to master the tips and tricks of playing bells on the Land of Inheritance where one could train oneself with EXP!

Of course, that was on the premise that he had fully understood the bronze bells after Fusion.

“Are they the Dragon-Patterned Bronze Bells?”

On the Twin Dragon Island, at the estuary outside the area known as the Fog Valley, a camp for the navy had been established on the territory of the Mirage Monsters.

Inside a cabin of the Seven Note Guqin Ship that was docked in the camp, Ji Ye looked at a set of bells that were about two meters tall.

On the intact bronze pillars and shelf to which the bells were attached, hollow and dented patterns had been engraved as decorations. On the nine bells were nine vivid divine beasts that looked mysterious and majestic!

“Qiuniu, Yazi, Baxia, Bi’an, Suanni… They’re truly the nine sons of the dragon.

“This set of bronze bells should be considered as a ‘heavy treasure’. It’s even more valuable to a settlement than the Totem Wolf Skin is!”

Satisfaction appeared in Ji Ye’s eyes.

Heavy treasures were how the players called certain special treasures on the Land of Inheritance.

For example, this set of bronze bells, the Seven Note Guqin Ship he was on, the Mirage Dragon Warship that was hidden on the sea, and the SkyNet and Silver Liquid Lake in the Metal Men’s settlement were not only large in size but could also provide significant help to a whole settlement. They were unlike the small equipment such as Soul Cutters and Jade Dragon Swords that were only useful to individuals!

All in all, a heavy treasure was more important than a piece of equipment of the same level. Furthermore, many heavy treasures were actually made of a lot of “light treasures”.

After a moment of observation, Ji Ye laid his hand on the Dragon-Patterned Bronze Bells and secretly chanted.

“Fuse!”

Hum!

The bright glow of spoils of war appeared and enshrouded the heavy treasure that was almost two meters tall.

On the Dragon-Patterned Bells where the nine dragon sons were engraved, the silver light that represented Transcendence all glittered.

When all the nine streams of silver light were combined, it was almost as bright as the Eye Painting Brush, which was rated as Perfect.

Although the bronze bells were technically not Ji Ye’s possession, and he shouldn’t have been able to fuse it, it was clear that the ownership of an item wasn’t as important as the real control over an item on the Land of Inheritance!

Hum!

Although there was a lot of silver light, the fusion didn’t take very long.

After only three hours, the light that enshrouded the bronze bells dispersed.

The fusion didn’t fail; Ji Ye’s efficiency of fusion had simply been improved.

The cooldown of fusion was mostly dependent on his own level, but the time of fusion was actually dependent on his own comprehension.

After many fusions, Ji Ye’s efficiency of fusion was a lot higher than before.

Even though the Dragon-Patterned Bronze Bells were heavy treasures, he was still able to “parse” them quickly.

Of course, the fast fusion this time was also partly because he had learned some of the qualities of the bells from Yang Lu in advance.

For example, he had learned how to activate the Transcendent ability to materialize the soundwaves and vibes.

Pa!

Ji Ye opened his eyes that were still energetic and bright. He picked up the bell mallet from the shelf.

He then knocked the nine Dragon-Patterned Bells in a specific order and rhythm.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

After the knocking, the nine Dragon-Patterned Bronze Bells started to shiver on their own.

Circles of green soundwaves spread out from the chests of the bells and then gathered on one point above the Seven Note Guqin Ship into an illusionary set of bells that were identical to the one in the cabin.

“Well, now that the soundwaves are materialized, this item should be useful!”

The Void Ring on Ji Ye’s finger flashed in purple light, and a brush that was made of jade and mist appeared on his hand.

It was exactly the Perfect Eye Painting Brush!

Actually, Ji Ye had thought about it before.

Instead of fusing the Dragon-Patterned Bronze Bells with himself, he could fuse it with another special item.

By fusing the bells with himself, he could only unlock the permission to use the special equipment.

However, by fusing two different items, he could improve their qualities or even create a new item, which was the real usage of the Fusion talent.

For example, if he fused the Dragon-Patterned Bells with the Mirage Dragon Pearl, he might be able to create a supermassive illusionary land that covered the whole Twin Dragon Island when the bells were played.

If he were to fuse the bells with the mysterious mallet, would the soundwaves receive the ability to destroy everything?

Or rather, he could fuse the Dragon-Patterned Bells and the Soul Cutter so that the soundwaves could turn into black soul daggers that darted out at random when the bells were knocked!

Furthermore, if the Dragon-Patterned Bells were fused with the Dragon-Subduing Strike, would a majestic musical instrument that could perform ultimate martial arts be created?

However, he gave up the thought after a moment of consideration.

It was because his Fusion talent was still Extraordinary at this moment. Although he could fuse some special items, he actually only fused the “Extraordinary part” in them and couldn’t control the Transcendent power inside.

If he performed reckless fusions, the Transcendent powers in two special items would be incompatible and contradictory.

Both of them might be destroyed after the process.

“Fortunately, although they can’t be fused directly, I attempted to melt Dragon Aura into the bells during the fusion just now, and it worked.

“Since I fused the Eye Painting Brush earlier, the two items have been indirectly fused… My attempt is not entirely futile.”

Ji Ye soared to the sky on the dragon and pointed the tip of the Eye Painting Brush on the eye of the dragon on the ninth bell.

Ding!

All of a sudden, the illusionary bells above the guqin ship turned into a divine beast three meters long that had a dragon head and a fish body after a glow.

Pa!

Purple light flashed in Ji Ye’s hand again.

The Zippo lighter, which he hadn’t used for a long time, appeared and raised flames in midair. Then, the flames were pushed to the green sonic dragon fish.

“Roar!”

The dragon fish opened its mouth and swallowed the fire from the Zippo lighter as if its mouth were a bottomless hole.

It was Liwen, the dragon’s ninth son.

It had a dragon head and a fish body. It liked staying in critical locations and could swallow all things, especially fire!

The nine sons of the dragon on the bronze bells could all be transformed into sonic dragons by the Eye Painting Brush.

Also, those sonic dragons all contained their corresponding Extraordinary powers!

It was exactly the new ability after the Transcendent power in the two high-quality special items were combined.

“Also, not just the sonic dragons, when my finger touched the Liwen just now, my Flood Dragon Blood was somewhat influenced, and one drop of the Flood Dragon Blood was changed…”

Ji Ye was slightly surprised.

With the Eye Painting Brush and the dragon-shaped sonic waves that the bronze bells caused, not only could his mental power be honed, but his Flood Dragon Bloodline could be somewhat improved too.

Such an improvement was basically the transformation of the Flood Dragon Blood, which mainly controlled water, to the Liwen Blood, which could absorb flames.

Although his Flood Dragon Bloodline originally came from a Legendary Flood Dragon King, it certainly couldn’t compare to the nine mythical sons of the dragon.

After all, those nine sons must be of a higher level than common dragons.

Of course, since the Liwen was only created by the Eye Painting Brush along with the bells, it could only transform the Extraordinary Flood Dragon Blood at best, and it couldn’t change the True Flood Dragon Blood at the core.

Furthermore, the efficiency of the transformation wasn’t very high. It wasn’t much faster than the generation of the Flood Dragon Blood.

Nevertheless, it was still a pleasant surprise.

After all, the dragon’s nine sons each had their own extraordinary parts.

With the polishing of the Dragon-Patterned bells, the range of application of the Flood Dragon Blood could be greatly expanded.

…

“Huh, the battle will probably start tomorrow morning.”

After fusing the Dragon-Patterned Bells, Ji Ye looked ahead from the guqin ship.

Although the night had fallen and it was impossible to cast the Mirage Cloud Mirror, it was no longer necessary to do that.

It was because the territory of the Magma Monsters had been fully revealed to the human beings.

The lava island where red flames and yellow smoke were popping up under the dark sky was quite eye-catching. It was like a magma behemoth that was waiting to swallow the intruders.

The Twin Dragon Island, which had set up some power plants, was ablaze with lights. Everybody was busy preparing for battle during the night.

A great battle was to come!
