Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 792, Southern Black Port

Translator: Silavin

It was said that there were even several gangs from Dragon Country and South Country fighting each other here, competing for the usage rights of the Abyssal Rift.

Therefore, in this place, there was virtually a major battle every five days and a minor skirmish every three days, with Player casualties occurring daily.

Over time, this had become a place that everyone spoke of with dread. Unless one belonged to one of these major gangs, independent Players simply dared not approach, fearing they might be mistaken for spies from rival gangs and be directly chopped down.

After Lu Fan learned about the situation there, he could not help but feel both amused and exasperated.

He truly had not expected that there would be such a place at Dragon Country’s border.

It seemed that because it was located outside the border, even if there were gangs established by Dragon Country’s people there, when they came into conflict with South Country people, Dragon Country would not intervene.

Lu Fan had never actually been to such a lawless land before.

He also wondered why the final material that Ouyang Baige needed actually required going to such a place.

Ouyang Baige had said the last material was in the deepest part of the Abyssal Rift, so Lu Fan could easily deduce that this material was most likely in that final Secret Realm that no one had ever Cleared.

Speaking of which, this Secret Realm was truly interesting. Other Secret Realms would randomly refresh, but this one alone would not.

At the same time, since it was such a peculiar Secret Realm, logically there should be people trying to find ways to Clear this Secret Realm to see what Rewards lay within.

Even if Fourth Profession Players could not handle it, surely Fifth Profession Players could manage it, right?

Lu Fan did not believe that South Country and Dragon Country lacked Fifth Profession Players wanting to explore this Secret Realm out of curiosity.

Those reclusive Ancient Noble Families had pioneered the Western Border, visiting even more dangerous places. Such a unique Secret Realm must have certain reasons that compelled these experts to ignore it.

Therefore, Lu Fan speculated that it was not that no experts had been to this Secret Realm, but rather that these experts had gone and failed to successfully Clear it, or had even died inside.

[Most likely, this Secret Realm is more dangerous than we think.] However, Lu Fan felt no fear whatsoever. After all, with his strength, unless he encountered an Ancient God, he was confident he would not face any real danger.

Since he had already determined the location of the final material, there was nothing more to say. He just needed to head there.

He checked the route to get there and quickly planned out the fastest and most efficient method.

Lu Fan departed directly from Dragon Capital, consecutively taking several Transport Arrays, and soon arrived in the southern part of Dragon Country.

Afterwards, he did not take any more Transport Arrays, but instead rode on Ye Sha, flying towards the Abyssal Rift.

According to the Map, Lu Fan had quickly crossed the national border.

Contrary to Lu Fan’s expectations, when crossing the border, although he did not have Ye Sha enter Concealment, he was not hindered by anyone.

At the border line, there were no soldiers from either Dragon Country or South Country stationed.

Perhaps this was one of the reasons why the area around the Abyssal Rift was in such chaos.

The more these kinds of places at the junction of two countries existed, the harder they became to manage. To suppress crime and maintain order, it would inevitably require investing much more manpower.

However, Dragon Country had been the victor in the previous war against South Country, so there was not much need to invest too much energy in South Country.

As for South Country, they adopted a completely reckless attitude, not setting up any defenses against Dragon Country either. After all, what would be the point if they knew they would lose?

Furthermore, this place had gradually descended into chaos, becoming a paradise for many unscrupulous Players. It would be hard for ordinary soldiers to manage.

After crossing the border, Lu Fan soon saw a very crude city appearing ahead.

This city was not small. It was only slightly smaller than a typical small city in Dragon Country.

It looked like it was a shanty town, dilapidated and backward, obviously not built by people for actual living.

Seeing the scene here, Lu Fan’s first thought was of the slums from his previous world.

Dragon Country basically no longer had such cities, so seeing such a city made Lu Fan instinctively frown.

Through his Black Dragon Perception, he could sense that the city had quite a large population, and many of them were Players of considerable Level.

It was said that the number of Monster Material Hunters and Player Hunters here was extremely high. Backstabbing was the most common way to get rich.

Lu Fan naturally was not afraid of these people, but he also did not want to attract too much trouble.

Therefore, when flying over this city, Lu Fan still had Ye Sha enter Concealment.

This city was called Southern Black Port. At the very least, that was what Dragon Country called it.

South Country might have another name for it, but what they called it did not really matter to Lu Fan.

The area around Southern Black Port was actually extremely rich in resources. Whether it was resources from Monster or Secret Realm and Dungeon Instance, they were all quite excellent. Otherwise, it would not be able to support such a large city of Players.

The Abyssal Rift was located three hundred kilometres south of Southern Black Port, not too far away. Soon, Lu Fan could see the location of the Abyssal Rift.

The Abyssal Rift lived up to its name. It was a chasm leading to the underground depths.

This chasm was not too long, only about ten kilometres or so, like a wound on the earth’s surface.

Within the Abyssal Rift, one could see purple-black ore scattered throughout, illuminating the Abyssal Rift yet making it appear even more profound.

At the same time, Lu Fan also saw that within the Abyssal Rift, quite a few people were stationed. They were all Second Profession and Third Profession Players. Their numbers were not small either, totalling over three hundred, forming guard posts scattered throughout the Abyssal Rift.

As expected, such a place would inevitably be under constant guard. There was no way it could be unoccupied.

Lu Fan thought for a moment, then paid it no mind and had Ye Sha fly into the Abyssal Rift while still Concealed.

Entering, Lu Fan could even more clearly see Secret Realm Transport Arrays appearing on both sides of the Abyssal Rift below.

These should be the Secret Realm entrances that supposedly refreshed every so often, as mentioned online.

When he flew to the deepest part of the Abyssal Rift, Lu Fan saw that at the very end of the Abyssal Rift was an even larger Secret Realm Transport Array.

At the same time, ghostly mist like that of undead spirits constantly flew in and out of the entrance, making eerie calls that sounded remarkably like Human screams of terror.

[This Secret Realm Transport Array is truly bizarre.] Lu Fan made this observation, then had Ye Sha land while cancelling his Concealment.

There were people guarding here too, and they were all Third Profession Players, twenty of them in total!

The moment Lu Fan revealed himself, these people reacted, immediately shouting. “There’s an Assassin Type Player over here! Quick, to your battle stations!”

Everyone became instantly alert, surrounding Lu Fan with a flurry of movement.
