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

Poseidon's vertical pupils were fixed on the image in the magic mirror, watching the young red dragon clumsily flap its wings, its massive body swaying in the sky.

The flapping of the wing membrane generates waves of heat, yet it cannot even achieve the most basic hovering in the air.

If it is a variant dragon, then it should also be a true dragon that failed to mutate, making even flying extremely difficult, and appearing thin and weak in body.

If it's a dragon beast without awakened inheritance, then it's even simpler.

This kind of creature has been brainwashed by the Dragon's Legacy, so it's not very intelligent and doesn't even have a real name. It can only be classified as a magical beast, not a magical creature.

This discovery briefly eased Puse's tense nerves, but they were quickly replaced by a deeper sorrow.

Its body, over twenty meters long, claws strong enough to tear rocks apart, and the fiery breath that the red dragon was born with, still exuded danger.

"If it's a dragon beast, that's fine. But in a few years, when it reaches the stage of a young dragon, I might be able to have a fight with it."

"But if it's a heteromorphic dragon, that would be troublesome."

"Although it has some physical defects, it possesses wisdom and a complete lineage. Challenging the young red dragon during its youth still carries a high risk."

Pu Se felt he needed to find a way to test the waters.

Caleb looked at Puse's profile, which was fixed on the magic mirror, his Adam's apple bobbing twice. He forced himself to move forward, enduring the sharp pain in his chest.

He dared not get too close and tentatively asked, "Lord Blue Dragon, it took us half a year to determine the locations of those three silver mines."

"So... are you satisfied with this compensation?"

Caleb knew they had no way to deal with the red dragon in the dragon's mouth.

They didn't even dare to approach the volcano, let alone deal with a red dragon. Those three silver mines were the biggest bargaining chips they could offer.

This geological exploration trip dealt him a heavy blow; he lost most of his former friends, and even had to hand over his years of research to save his life.

Caleb glanced at his four teammates behind him with mixed feelings. Kyle, Lyle, Dorn, and Ronald were already dead and buried on the grassland.

All his compromises now are solely for the purpose of bringing the remaining people back safely.

Even if the evil dragon wanted to crush his spirit, he would swallow this bitterness whole.

Regardless of Caleb's thoughts, Puseco snatched the map that Caleb had handed him.

On the map, besides the silver mine, there are also several copper and iron mines. If Puse is willing to look for them, he can probably find them all.

Pu Se wanted it all.

He not only coveted this gold mine, but also wanted to take over the remaining three silver mines, not to mention the copper and iron mines.

If you have a narrow mindset and are not greedy, how can you become a vicious dragon?

"Hmm, not bad," Puse praised. "Your wisdom has saved you and your companions from the clutches of a dragon."

If this gold mine is real, then this map must also be real.

Unlike last time, when he threw the map directly at Caleb, Puse swallowed it and carefully stored it in a special stomach flap.

"Great master, I must remind you that the red dragon is now searching for prey and is slowly approaching your direction."

Poseidon then turned his gaze to the magic mirror.

In the magic mirror, the red dragon flapped its wings forcefully in the air, its scarlet eyes darting between the air and the ground, trying to find prey.

Suddenly, the red dragon paused, as if it had discovered something it found extremely repulsive, and then swooped down.

The crimson shadow, like a falling lava, accompanied by a howling hot wind, crashed straight down toward its locked prey.

The image in the magic mirror magnified instantly, bringing the red dragon's enormous mouth, filled with sharp teeth, right up close.

Pu Se quickly dodged away.

Because the two dragons were so close together, he was the red dragon's prey.

The shockwave from the red dragon's landing caused the surrounding rocks to vibrate and hum.

Its thick hind legs pushed off the ground, and its crimson eyes were fixed on Puser.

A low growl came from its throat, as if warning the thieves who had trespassed into its territory.

Its nostrils flared violently, clearly indicating its extreme aversion to the blue dragon aura emanating from Puse.

"Roar—, roar—"

It charged straight up without any warning, and what it let out was a meaningless roar, which wasn't even in dragon language.

This is a dragon beast.

Puse was basically certain that this was a dragon beast, rather than a genetically mutated alien dragon.

No real dragon would be willing to pretend to be brain-dead.

The information displayed in the magic mirror also began to be updated in a timely manner, reporting the dragon's life energy and the specific challenge level.

"Young Red Dragon Beast, Life Energy Level 11, Recommended Challenge Level 12."

"It has a very strong sense of territory and is in an irritable state due to recent frequent volcanic activity. It has a strong predatory desire and has already locked onto its prey."

The challenge level has dropped by one step.

As Puse felt the defense of the red dragon's scales, he barely withdrew his claws, his fingertips still stained with beads of crimson blood seeping from beneath the dragon's scales.

Without the aid of magic, this red dragon was very slow and lacked any skill, simply charging around aimlessly.

Not only does Puse possess levitation magic, but it also gains dozens of speed points from falling asleep, allowing it to deliver a claw strike to the red dragon in an instant.

Congratulations! Puse's claws actually managed to wear through a layer of the red dragon's skin.

"Is it just a breach in defenses?"

For Yu Puse, level 11, 12, or 13 didn't matter, since he couldn't beat them anyway.

You can't let a child with superpowers directly fight a weak young man.

Although the child with the cheat code has a strong buff that can instantly heal injuries, what if this young man kills the child in one fell swoop?

Pu Se shook off the blood droplets remaining on his claws. He knew very well that the claw strike he had just delivered was the strongest he could muster at the moment.

But for this young red dragon beast, it was nothing more than a minor, insignificant injury.

The magic mirror hovered beside him, and the red dragon's life energy on the mirror remained stable at level 11.

Given the dragon species' recovery speed, this red dragon doesn't need to go to the hospital. The bleeding has already stopped, and it will be fully recovered in less than half a day.

"Only a fool would fight him head-on."

Puser cursed under his breath, then suddenly unfolded his wing membranes, instantly enveloping his entire body in levitation magic, and quickly swept to the side.

He deliberately controlled his speed, neither too slow for the red dragon to catch up easily, nor too fast to provoke the easily angered dragon and leave it behind.

Puse instinctively tested the red dragon's maximum speed.

Seeing that Puse was about to escape, the red dragon immediately let out a deafening roar.

It pushed off the ground with its hind legs, its massive body clumsily taking off, its wing membranes flapping against the rolling heat waves as it chased after Puse.

However, its flight was so clumsy that its body swayed in the air and it was unable to keep up with Puse's agile flight.

It roared furiously, and sparks from its mouth and nose fell to the ground, igniting the surrounding forest and sending up plumes of black smoke.

The red dragon's breath is usually a wide-ranging, high-temperature fire curtain, which is extensive and intensely scorching, capable of instantly melting rocks into glass and turning vegetation into charcoal.

Once you master certain techniques, you can focus energy and compress it into a "molten gold beam," which has a long range, extremely high single-point temperature, and stronger penetrating power.

This red dragon beast clearly didn't have much intelligence; it just spewed random breaths in the air.

If he weren't immune to fire, he himself would probably have been burned to a crisp.
