Daily AFK life from a young dragon

Chapter 60: The Spider and the Magic Potion (First Order)
It is thousands of miles south of the Emerald City.

The six black dragons were like nimble big cats in the jungle, leaping dozens of meters at a time.

For them, steep mountain roads, muddy land, and poisonous thorny vines are as easy and comfortable as walking on flat ground.

It's like coming home.

"Freedom is so comfortable." The powerful beast, which was nearly eight meters tall and second only to the leading black dragon, took a breath of satisfaction.

At its feet there was a rabbit shivering and not daring to move.

There was a snap.

The rabbit was crushed into bloody mud by the dragon's claws.

"Sega, how many times have you lamented this? Also, what you're doing is really a waste of food."

Eddie, who is much smaller than Sega, couldn't help but say something when he saw his stupid brother who only had muscles doing such a stupid thing again.

"What does it have to do with you? Besides, we are dragons. Taking lives is not a waste of food. That is something only the weak would think about!

For us, plundering and killing are just instincts! "Sega snorted coldly, and a large amount of white air came out of his nostrils. It was obvious that he was very unhappy with his second brother's preaching.

Ever since he became an alchemist, this guy's personality seems to have undergone an indescribable subtle change.

However, Sega could not describe this change, but Leon could feel it.

Eddie, its second brother, seems to have begun to look at things from a more rational perspective.

It has gradually begun to deviate from the normal character of a black dragon.

Mal, Franky and Dagan, the three black dragons, were already accustomed to the quarrels between Eddie and Saga.

Mal is a female black dragon, while Franky and Dagan are males. Nearly three years ago, Leon took them to Yulingze, and later brought them back to the academy to eat and drink.

Coincidentally, the three of them were born to the same dragon mother, and their age is even very close to that of the three brothers Leon, Eddie, and Saga.

Well, actually it’s not a coincidence. After all, it is normal for a dragon to lay several eggs in one litter.

The six black dragons walked and stopped from time to time, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed than the last trip nearly three years ago.

The last time they went out, although there were more dragons in their team, most of them were young dragons. The only two young dragons were 'Pana' and 'Eldo'. The former was a white dragon and the latter was not very powerful either, and could not give the team much sense of security.

It was thanks to the leadership of Chief Leon that we were able to travel peacefully along the way.

This time, when they returned to Yulingze, the six black dragons, which were originally young dragons, had all entered the juvenile dragon stage.

A second fourth-level dragon, Saiga, appeared in the team.

After hearing what Chief Leon said, the female dragon 'Mar' secretly glanced at the agile and strong black dragon in front of her, and felt a sense of security in her heart.

After leaving the Emerald City, they flew and ran all the way for thousands of miles and encountered many difficult dangers.

But they were all resolved one by one by Chief Leon.

"stop."

Leon, who was leading the way, shouted softly, and the five black dragons following closely behind stopped immediately. They knew in their hearts that there was probably some danger ahead.

But this time they guessed wrong.

"My wizard's eyes saw something interesting." A hint of surprise flashed in Leonlong's eyes.

About five kilometers away from the six black dragons, under a rock wall.

Hundreds of spiders the size of round tables, with black backgrounds and white stripes, surrounded two larger spiders in the middle.

The latter two were engaged in a fierce battle.

It was a very familiar scene; this was how Leon became the leader of Black Dragon Castle.

The spiders are fighting a boss battle.

But this was not the reason that surprised Leon. The reason he was surprised was that these large spiders with black background and white stripes looked very much like a very rare monster.

'Crypt Spider'

Although they look like beasts, they are actually not demons or wild beasts, but belong to the monster race.

A monster race like gnolls and trolls.

Demons, beasts, and monsters, the distinction between these three is actually very clear.

Monsters are born with the ability to master spell-like abilities from their blood, and as their strength grows, their wisdom increases. Low-level monsters may be only slightly smarter than wild beasts, but mid-level monsters are as smart as normal humans.

Wild beasts are creatures without intelligence, but they have a high probability of physical mutation. Just like the second-level beast "Wild Bull", before the mutation, it was just an ordinary wild bull, but after the mutation under the nourishment of the elements, it has amazing strength and a much larger body.

Some beasts with extremely amazing alienation are also called ferocious species. Ferocious species are quite terrifying, and are creatures with extremely specialized bodies and fighting instincts.

On the ice field, one can even witness some terrifying, ferocious ice tigers tens of meters in size successfully hunting adult white dragons.

Monsters, generally speaking, refer to creatures with humanoid bodies that are naturally endowed with intelligence and thinking.

But in fact, as long as an alien creature is born with intelligence and has civilization, it can be called a monster.

The burrow spiders are only at the first level in strength when they grow up, but they have intelligence close to that of humans and have their own ancient civilization.

They are undoubtedly a race of monsters.

They have a very valuable special ability - the burrow spider can spit out two kinds of spider silk, one is the paralyzing and poisonous spider silk used for attack, and the other is called 'silver silk'.

The silver threads they spit out are an excellent material for weaving wizard robes. In addition to wizard robes, they also play an irreplaceable role in many alchemical secrets.

After Leon told Eddie and the others about the crypt spider, the five black dragons became extremely excited.

"None of them can escape!" Saiga grinned.

Although it is not very interested in many things other than strength, it still knows the high value of the burrow spiders. Mastering these spiders is equivalent to mastering the code to wealth.

As for who to trade with?

The Emerald Dream, of course.

There are many spellcasters in the Emerald Dream.

Eddie also looked at his elder brother rather eagerly.

The profession it chose is alchemist, and through continuous practice and mastery of various alchemical secrets, it can also benefit itself.

For example, alchemical potions that increase strength.

The Dragon Clan's inheritance records some common alchemical secrets, including how to use the 'Silver Silk of the Crypt Spider'.

It's called - 'Spider's Potion'

The effect is that after taking it, one can permanently improve one's own nerve reaction ability.

However, there are also disadvantages. The more perfect the structure of the organism, the lower the probability of success, and it can only be upgraded once.

But if you control this group of monster burrow spiders and have an endless supply of silver spider silk, as long as the probability is not zero, success is only a matter of time.

Leon nodded slightly. After recognizing the origin of these burrow spiders, it would be impossible for them to escape his claws.

"Wenger, admit defeat, you are no match for me!" The burrow spider flexibly dodged the spider silk coming from the opposite side, and its attitude became a little impatient.

"Lola, I am the king." The burrow spider that Lola called Wenger exhaled a puff of white air from its ferocious mouthparts. Although she was extremely tired, she still insisted on her dignity as the queen of burrow spiders.

Queen Wenger's behavior completely angered Laura.

It let out a shrill scream and rushed towards Queen Wenger like lightning. This time, it would not hold back.

Two black spiders with white stripes, each larger than a round table, began to engage in close combat. Their sharp claws, like a combination of a guillotine and a steel gun, collided with each other with a crackling sound like the collision of metal and iron. The speed was so fast that afterimages continued to appear.

However, just as the two of them were fighting fiercely, a dragon swept in from above with great force.

Queen Wenger and Lola, who were fighting, only felt that danger was approaching them. The huge spider body flashed flexibly and separated in an instant.

boom!
The black dragon landed.

But it didn't hit any.

Leon looked at the two large female spiders that had stopped fighting and were looking at it with vigilant and panicked eyes, grinned and said,
"I'm sorry to interrupt your fight, but I'm tired of waiting. How about we discuss something?"

"Black Dragon." Laura looked at Leon with fear with her six eyes, her eyeballs rolling around.

"Don't even think about running. You can't run away." Leon's voice was calm, with absolute confidence.

Although the two burrow spiders in front of them have reached the fourth level, and the burrow spiders are monsters with terrifying reaction and speed among the same level, if they want to escape, ordinary fourth-level creatures will rarely be able to catch up with them.

But Leon is not just an ordinary fourth-level person.

It is a giant dragon, and a dragon with extraordinary talents.

Not to mention now, even three years ago, it was confident that it could take down these two fourth-order female spiders.

Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Continuous dragon roars came from all around. As Leon finished speaking, five black dragons, the smallest of which was over six meters long, surrounded the place.

Five dragon powers pressed down together.

This caused hundreds of common burrow spiders to panic, and they kept making chirping and screaming noises. Seeing this scene, Wenger Spider Queen and Laura looked very ugly and a little desperate.

"Your Majesty the Black Dragon, what do you want to discuss with us?" Queen Wenger yielded and said in a low voice.

Although it was sure it could escape, as a queen, it was impossible for it to abandon its people.

Just when Leon was quite satisfied with the submissive attitude of the giant female spider and was about to speak - with a whoosh, the giant female spider named Lola moved her eight long legs and broke through to the direction where Eddie was like a phantom.

Eddie was shocked when he saw a huge afterimage rushing towards him. He couldn't intercept it at this speed.

But Eddie did not panic. He just looked at Laura who was trying to escape with pity.

The next moment, two blue streams of light blocked Laura's escape direction like meteorites.

Feeling the magical fluctuations coming from the blue meteorite, Laura, who didn't want to be hit by the spell, could only dodge to the left.

"Escaped." Lola was secretly happy. The excitement of escaping was mixed with the guilt of betraying her tribe, which made her feel quite complicated at the moment.

Ok?
Laura's extremely sensitive sensory organs sensed that the danger had not been eliminated.

Its six eyeballs turned back and saw a scene that made its spider hair tremble with fear - the two blue meteorites that it had already avoided, after making a turn, actually chased after it again.

A spell that can lock on and chase? !

The blue meteorite was too close. Even if Laura reacted, she was unable to dodge it due to the speed limit of her body.

Bang!Bang!
Two consecutive heavy blows landed on Laura, and blue blood gushed out of her body.

The crypt spiders were not monsters that were good at defense. Their strengths lay in their reaction and speed. In terms of defense, they were not much stronger than the third-level monsters.

Bang!
The black dragon's heavy body fell in front of Laura.

Leon lowered his head, looked down at this courageous female spider, and said lightly,

"I'll give you another chance. Do you want to surrender?"

Laura hesitated for a moment, but soon she saw with horror that the black dragon in front of her raised its claws. The big mother spider immediately responded hastily,

"Submit, I am willing to submit!"

Leon slowly put down his dragon claw without even looking at it. He raised his dragon head slightly and looked at the strange spider queen.

The Spider Queen now knew what Leon was talking about.

Ugh.

Wenger sighed inwardly, he actually understood it very well.

This is also why it did not resist Leon at the first time.

"The Youxue Tribe is willing to submit to His Majesty the Black Dragon."

Following the queen's statement, the other hundreds of ordinary burrow spiders also quieted down, knelt down on their eight spider paws, and lowered their heads slightly to show their submission.

"Eddie, come here." Leon looked at the black dragon not far away and signaled with his eyes to Laura who was injured under him.

Eddie's heart moved, and he ran over happily.
"Big brother?"

Eddie looked at Leon expectantly.

The latter nodded slightly, "You come to contract this underground spider."

Eddie nodded vigorously. He had been watching Laura's entire performance.

Although she was easily subdued by the eldest brother, there was no doubt about the opponent's strength. It was just that the eldest brother was too omnipotent and restrained Laura.

If it were Segalai, who had also reached the fourth level, he would probably just stare and watch Laura run away.

But this is all secondary.

What Eddie values ​​most is the silver thread that Laura spits out. The silver thread that a fourth-level crypt spider spits out is naturally very different from that of a first-level crypt spider.

The 'Strange Spider Potion' is made from fourth-level silver silk, and the success rate after taking the potion is definitely much higher!

Eddie began to use his own dragon blood to set up the dragon clan contract formation on the spot.

With its soul strength, it can barely carry two followers.

Leon looked at Sega, who understood what his elder brother meant, that he wanted him to contract with the strange spider queen, but he shook his head.
"I will subdue my followers myself, and those you defeat, you will make the contract yourself."

Leon was speechless and did not continue to persuade Sega.

But Leon had no intention of making a contract with this strange spider queen.

The opponent's strength is not even as good as the one that Eddie contracted with, and Leon doesn't even look down on the stronger one, let alone the strange spider queen.

There are limits to the number of contracted followers. Leon has already contracted the dragon man 'Diugs' and the black-haired werewolf 'Hogg'. With its current soul strength, it is estimated that it can only contract two more.

Although as Leon continues to grow, his soul strength will become higher and higher, and the number of followers he can contract will also increase, but that is also the future.

Looking at the present, apart from the silver silk spit out by the spider queen, which is relatively valuable, Leon doesn't care about anything else.

"Chief, can you give me a contract with this strange spider queen?" Mal whispered.

There was some anxiety in the female black dragon's eyes, fearing that Leon would refuse.

"Then give it to you, Mal." Leon nodded slightly.

The female black dragon cheered immediately, ran to the front of the strange spider queen, began to release her own dragon blood, and drew the dragon clan's followers magic circle with some awkwardness.

Leon watched Mar and Eddie's operation from the side, and he felt a sense of familiarity.
Fight monsters and conquer them.?

A realistic fantasy version of Pokémon?

Dragon trainer?
Leon reacted, looking a little strange.

You know what, they are quite similar.

Because the Dragon Contract Array requires a lot of energy, and Leon and the other six were in a hurry to travel and hadn't rested for a while, they rested here for a night to recover, and then set out again the next day, heading towards Yulingze.

However, because this time they were carrying hundreds of burrow spiders, their speed was much slower.

But fortunately, it is not too far from the outskirts of Yulingze.

Five days later.

After losing several ordinary burrow spiders, Leon and his team finally arrived at the outskirts of Yulingze.

It is only about a hundred kilometers away from the Dark Scale Tribe.

"Strange." A hint of doubt flashed across Leonlong's eyes.

Why does it feel that the dark atmosphere in this area is a little thicker?
Not only Leon felt it, but Eddie, Sega, Mal and others also felt it.

Black dragon, a true dragon with water attribute.

But the black dragon is actually quite familiar with the dark attribute.

The spellcasters among the black dragons usually major in water spells and dark spells.

Leon reacted quickly, his eyes narrowed, "Could it be that the undead from the Howling Gray Land have come here?"

Not right either.

If the Howling Grays have fought their way here, they will surely discover many strange things along the way.

Even before setting out for Yulingze, you will receive a notification from the Emerald City.

Leon had many thoughts in his mind, but he suppressed them all and said in a deep voice,

"Let's go back to the tribe first. Diugs and Aldo must know something."

Eddie and the others also felt that what their eldest brother said made sense and it was useless to make any wild guesses at this point.

Darkscale Tribe.

During these three years, the Dark Scale Tribe has developed smoothly.

The size of the tribes in the valley expanded five or six times, absorbing many wild monsters from the surrounding areas.

On the flat ground in the valley, you can see a vast expanse of blue rice fields that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Although it is spring, the blue rice fields are full of thumb-sized plump rice grains, which are quite pleasing to look at.

The lake frogmen wear straw hats to block the sunlight and patrol the rice fields. Occasionally, they shoot out their long tongues from their mouths to eliminate pests.

The megalodon carried a backpack and walked easily through the mud, harvesting blue rice.

At first glance, the sea is calm, peaceful and tranquil.

But this peaceful atmosphere disappeared in an instant as wounded Dark Scale Warriors walked in from the valley entrance.

Some troll warriors used their size to carry back the bodies of their fellow gnolls on their shoulders.
