I am a wicked dragon, and you want me to fall into goodness?

Pu Se turned around, and huge dragon wings spread out behind him, bringing with them a gust of wind that swept up the broken branches and leaves on the ground, making them fly everywhere.

Bruce quickly followed, running with tiny, quick steps, afraid of being left behind by his evil dragon master.

With seven exchanges for one item, plus three compensations, it's already a guaranteed profit.

Starflowers can accelerate the improvement of strength, while those miraculous creations...

As long as he holds onto it, the fairies will always be his "suppliers".

The wind howled past high above.

Poseidon's figure quickly disappeared into the clouds, leaving only in the flowerbed, where Leah and Deli looked at each other in the direction the dragon had gone.

"Sister, we really..." Daisy hesitated, her pointed ears drooping.

Leah sighed and reached out to stroke a broken starflower seedling beside her.

A faint green light emanated from her fingertips, slowly repairing the crack.

"At least, we have a chance to get those treasures back, it just will take a while."

She spoke softly, her tone tinged with weariness yet also revealing a certain determination.

"Moreover, although this dragon is greedy, it seems... to be quite law-abiding?"

Daisy didn't speak, but turned her head to look at the horizon, her brows furrowing even more.

After leaving the fairy's flower garden, Puse had Bruce lead the way, while he followed behind at a leisurely pace, keeping a close eye on the panel.

[Task 1: An Eye for an Eye]

[An eye for an eye: Poor Bruce was tricked by the fairies with vines and hung in the air. As their leader, he was determined to get revenge and ordered the mischievous fairies to be tied up. 5/5 (Completed, please claim your reward)]

[Reward: Forest Deterrencer]

[Mission 2: Reclaim Glory]

[Reclaim Glory: The kobold's stone axe was used by the fairies as a victory souvenir. They demand the return of the kobold's stone axe and the theft of all the fairies' weapons. 1/1, 5/5 (Completed, please claim your reward)]

[Reward: Dragon Claw Enhancement]

【Task 3: The Price of the Fairy】

[The Price of the Fairies: Make the fairies aware of the consequences of infringing on the interests of the kobolds, and demand that the fairies compensate the kobolds, 0/5]

[Reward: Life Affinity]

【Task 4: The End of the Fairy Tale】

[The fairy tale's ending: A blue dragon scale is left under the old oak tree in the center of the fairy garden as a warning, letting the fairies know that there is a more powerful being behind Bruce.]

[Reward: The Fairy's Miracle]

Pu Se's dragon eyes narrowed slightly, the words dancing on the panel reflected in his deep blue vertical pupils.

Too lazy to lower his head, he simply raised his paw and used his dragon might to activate the "Claim Reward" message on the panel.

Two streaks of light suddenly shot out from the panel; one transformed into a faint black mist that wrapped around his scales, while the other disappeared into his dragon claw.

The black mist then condensed into an invisible mark, and a new line of text immediately appeared on the panel:

[Forest Deterrencer] has been activated, increasing the deterrent effect against monsters in the forest by 30%, attack power by 30%, defense power by 30%, and greatly increasing the favorability of the kobold race.

[Dragon Claw Enhancement] has taken effect. The keratin layer on the fingertips instantly becomes thicker and sharper. With a gentle twist, you can hear the sharp sound of air being cut. Even the lines on the palm of the claw have become deeper, gleaming with a cold black luster.

"The [Forest Deterrencer] not only boosts attack and defense stats, but also has a deterrent effect?"

Deterrence, or the suppression effect of the strong over the weak, acts on the mind and can weaken the enemy's will to fight.

Dragons do possess this kind of ability, but they typically acquire it only after reaching adulthood, and it is known by a familiar name: "Dragon's Might".

This ability is very strong, extremely strong, and is one of the key abilities that established the dragon's status as a top predator.

In the epic tales that are widely circulated throughout the multiverse, why are those who successfully defeat dragons called heroes rather than sages or saints?

Because when a dragon reaches adulthood, it gains dragon power.

Even if a weak person has great strength, they will tremble in fear when facing a dragon of the same level, and their strength will drop significantly.

Why are most heroes swordsmen?

Because the scales of a true dragon have very high magical defense, compared to physical resistance, the magic resistance of a true dragon is ridiculously high.

Unless it has a magic-dispelling effect like the breath of a true dragon, most magic will be immune to it.

"This skill is equivalent to gaining a weakened Dragon's Might buff while in the forest?"

Bruce seemed to have sensed something, and he ran back, wanting to circle around Puser's huge body a couple of times.

For some reason, he felt that his master was particularly terrifying, and he froze on the spot, unsure whether he should go forward.

Pusser snorted and casually walked past Bruce, his gaze returning to the unfinished tasks on the panel.

The progress of "The Price of the Fairy" is still 0/5, but the compensation agreement that was just finalized will obviously fill this number slowly.

"The first two tasks have been completed. As for the compensation, it can be completed instantly if I'm willing to agree."

The power in this transaction lies with Poseidon; if one day we no longer need Starflower, the dragon can be made easier.

There are no specific requirements for compensation, which gives Puse a lot of room to maneuver.

Now they're taking advantage of any opportunity to fleece the fairies.

As for the claws...

Puse's claws were no longer blue-white, but had turned into a purer black, making his entire arm a bluish-black that gradually lightened in color.

"The enhancement of the dragon claw has fundamentally changed the entire arm."

"If you want to know how much the strength has improved, the most effective way to verify it is to fight Green. Practice is the only standard to test strength."

Green isn't around now.

Inside the lair, Puse usually doesn't initiate combat against Kawimas.

However, we now have a very good test subject.

"Rock-Shattering Demon Insect!!"

This was a problem that Poseidon promised to solve for the Kobold Bruce family, and in return, he would gain the Kobold family's loyalty after solving the problem.

"It's almost afternoon now, and time is running out, but if we can deal with the Rock-Breaking Demon Worms as quickly as possible, we can still get back before dark."

"This way, Green's suspicions will be lessened, and he won't have much of an excuse to make things difficult if he senses something is wrong."

"Time is still of the essence."

Puse swam across the river, which was relatively effortless, by being swept along by the current.

Going back would be much more difficult going against the current, so it would be better to just fly back, which would save a lot of travel time.

He looked at the overjoyed Bruce and began to think about a plan to get rid of the bugs.

According to inherited memories, these creatures only possess the instinct for survival, not intelligence, and will not hesitate to annihilate any intruders into their territory.

Adult Rock-Breaking Demon Worms are comparable to intermediate-level professionals, meaning their hunting level hovers between 4 and 6, making them quite troublesome to deal with.

The hunting level for blue dragon hatchlings is usually 2-3, while for young dragons it is 4-6.

Since Puse has only recently become a young dragon, it is larger than a normal blue dragon and requires a hunting level of 5-6.

Ignoring the true dragon's magic and physical resistance, ignoring the nearly 10 spells learned, and ignoring spells such as [Noble Dragon], [Starlight Magic Hammer Chain], [Forest Deterrence], and [Dragon Claw Enhancement].

Since their base values ​​are equal, they should be evenly matched.
