Chapter 99: A Bountiful Harvest
Chapter 99: A Bountiful Harvest
The dragon with the flesh and magic core at the bottom of the lake has fallen into a deep sleep, but he is now Klein's property.
Klein reaped the benefits this time, becoming the biggest winner.
But with the dragon so badly injured, can it still survive?
Klein carefully examined its body. Although it had lost all its scales, revealing the flesh beneath, it was not bleeding.
The bleeding has stopped, as expected of a dragon; its body is truly powerful. It seems it will recover slowly.
The biggest haul this time was probably this dragon. Besides that, there were over forty winged serpent dragons, ten murlocs, and the rest were... countless winged serpent dragon materials!
The teeth and scales of every dead winged serpent dragon, not to mention the most valuable magic cores, were things that Klein might have used as fertilizer before. But now, Yanami has found a trading partner for Klein!
These materials might be traded with the rat tribe. Magic cores seem to be very important to the rat tribe; they are a vital resource.
Wow, that's a huge profit!
Klein returned to the top, but Yanami was nowhere to be found. Had she gone to sleep? But she probably couldn't go back to the plantation.
Klein walked around and found Yanami sleeping in the ruins of the fish-men's building. The place was relatively clean and had not been contaminated by blood.
She really worked hard...
Klein took the blanket off the cave floor, but it still got soaked by the waterfall. Fortunately, the fire spell that Klein replicated didn't require much magic. After exhausting the last bit of magic, Klein dried the blanket and covered Yanami with it.
So, the next step is the cleanup work...
Klein looked at the pterosaur carcasses scattered everywhere and already had a plan for dealing with them.
Klein first ordered the pterosaurs to start moving, to collect the scattered pterosaur carcasses, and then to bring the fishmen back to the lake.
Then, Klein ordered the fishmen to begin dismembering the dragon, cutting off the valuable parts and extracting the magic core.
Klein roughly counted, and there were about three hundred Pteranodon carcasses...that's a lot.
However, there are only ten fishmen, and if each fishman has to deal with thirty, it will probably take quite a long time.
However, as a tribal civilization, all the fishmen have experience in handling prey and can act on their own without Klein's instruction. In fact, they do it better than Klein and know better which parts are most valuable.
However, Klein was not a heartless boss. These fishmen were all injured and exhausted from dealing with the winged serpent dragons.
Klein did not immediately have them begin processing the bodies, but instead had them prepare a resting place so they could have a good rest before starting work.
By the time all the fish-men had fallen asleep, it was already fully light, and the glowing crystals on the cave ceiling were shining brightly, filling the cave with light.
An army of winged serpent dragons, an army of merfolk, and a dragon.
The plantation... has entered a new era, its combat power is soaring!
………………
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the old site of Quilton, two people passed through the barrier without hindrance and entered the street.
"You're really useless, four-eyed guy. You only broke through the barrier, and you can't even do the rest?"
"You can't say that. After all, the organization arranged for the two of us to come together because this is a mission for two people."
"A piece of trash is a piece of trash, no matter how many reasons you give."
The man and the blue-haired witch walked through the deserted streets of Quilton, littered with trash left behind by people fleeing in panic. Thanks to the protective barrier, everything remained exactly as it was when the people of Quilton left.
"They're really afraid of us, running away in such a panic, hahaha."
The blue-haired witch, wand in hand, casually knocked open a dented metal barrel by the roadside. However, it's worth noting that the wand she was holding was no longer the one transformed from the giant eagle.
The wand is now a red dragon with a red magic core in its mouth. Its head has become the wand head, its wings wrap around its body to form the wand shaft, and its tail has become the sharp wand tip.
This is the magic wand that the red dragon transformed into.
The two slowly walked to the city center, where a square stood in the middle of the street.
"I'll leave the rest to you. We really can't find the core. The city lord of Quilton set up a magic circle to hide the node, and the core itself is also hidden by another magic circle. It would be too much of a waste of time to find it."
"So you're just going to destroy it, huh? You're even crazier than me."
"Thank you for the compliment... Well then, let me see your new wand."
"Haha, I'm in a great mood, so I'll show you."
The blue-haired witch raised the dragon wand and threw it into the air.
Immediately afterwards, the wand that the dragon had transformed into rapidly grew larger, eventually becoming a red dragon even larger than Quilton's house.
The red dragon crushed the buildings surrounding Quilton Street, then bowed its head to the blue-haired witch in the square.
"Master... what are your orders?"
"Destroy the entire city, do whatever you want."
"Yes, ma'am..."
After bowing its head to receive the order, the red dragon spread its wings and began to flap.
Whoosh, whoosh... As its wings flapped faster and faster, the red dragon took flight and slowly reached the top of the great cave.
"Alright, let's go outside and watch the show."
"That's when things get really interesting."
The two arrived outside the barrier and looked back at the red dragon above Quilton City. At this moment, its chest was glowing, as if it contained infinite energy that was slowly accumulating.
Five minutes later, it was still gathering power...
"So slow..."
The blue-haired witch, acting as the master, pouted, somewhat displeased.
"After all, it's arguably the strongest attack. What if it could be launched instantly?"
"Shut up."
"Yes, ma'am."
buzzing...
The humming sound of accumulating energy gradually grew louder, and could be heard even outside the barrier.
The ball of energy in the red dragon's chest moved continuously, crawling from his chest to his neck, then to his throat, and finally being slowly exhaled.
It was a blue-white flame, emitting a blue-white light, like a ball of light slowly falling from mid-air.
If Klein were here, he would probably find it all very familiar. The red dragon charging up and spewing out a ball of fire was just like the bronze dragon Marion spewing out a ball of lightning. The process and the result were extremely similar.
The only difference is that one is a lightning ball and the other is a fireball, and their charging times are different.
"This is truly... incredible."
As the fireball slowly fell, although it looked insignificant, both of them could feel the powerful energy contained within it, which seemed capable of destroying everything.
Finally, the fireball touched the ground, and everything seemed to freeze for a moment. Then, a burst of intense blue-white light shone from the city center, turning the entire city of Quilton blue-white.
Boom—!
A series of massive explosions followed, then blue and white flames began to engulf the entire city, sweeping across the land in an instant until they were stopped by the barrier.
At this moment, only blue and white remained within the barrier, and the barrier itself was constantly shaking.
Crash—the barrier only lasted a moment before quietly shattering, and blue and white flames surged forth, engulfing everything, including the two people outside the barrier.
