Reincarnated as a blue dragon, he collided head-on with a wizarding civilization.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, the [Ixtal] panel quietly updated.

Three brand-new mission options lit up one after another like stars, each emitting a faint glow of different colors, quietly awaiting selection.

Motu's golden vertical pupils swept over the three options, and he quickly began to calmly analyze and weigh them in his mind.

[Bronze Blood] is undoubtedly the choice that best suits his needs at the moment.

His most pressing need is to improve his physical strength so that he can avoid falling into the same predicament he faced when confronting the Grey Armored Holy Punishment Knight or the mutated wizard Matthew, where he was powerless to resist and could only passively take hits or wait for rescue.

Directly upgrading a monster's rank means a comprehensive leap in physical attributes, total magic power, and life level. This is the most direct and fastest way to improve combat power.

He had completed similar promotion tasks back in the Dark Forest.

He had only been in this world for a short time when he joined forces with Shark White to hunt down the Mud Species and eventually advanced to the first rank.

Later, he led Shark White to kill the Tier 1 Shallow Water Crocodile, with whom they had some grudge, helping it to also cross the threshold of Tier 1 magical beast.

Thinking of this, Motu's heart stirred slightly.

It has been almost a month since I parted ways with Shark White in the Dark Forest and came to the border to join the Seventh Mixed Defense Squad.

What has become of that somewhat simple-minded but absolutely reliable white dragon subspecies partner?

He did not forget the promise he made when they parted that he would come back to find you.

Perhaps we should pay more attention to news from the Dragon Nest Legion and see if there is any trace of Shark White.

Let's look at Task Two: The Path to Enlightenment.

This corresponds to a further exploration of the field of alchemy.

If one could create their own magical construct, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance their overall strength and provide them with a loyal and tireless helper.

However, upon closer examination, this task is highly uncertain and extremely time-consuming.

With his current alchemy skill level of only Lv1, even creating the most basic magic puppet would require a huge amount of time and effort.

And before all this can begin, the first thing to do is to find a corresponding basic structural blueprint.

This task is not impossible, but it has extremely low cost-effectiveness and is extremely risky.

Choosing an overly demanding task that might stall your progress for a long time simply because of a high reward is unwise.

The best strategy for utilizing the [Ixtal] cheat is to consistently and efficiently complete short-term tasks, continuously accumulate rewards, and achieve steady, snowballing improvement.

As for Task 3 [Elemental Affinity], it's a frequent visitor to the task list.

Motu remembered that there was a similar option last time, but it was for the water element.

This time it's fire element, and the reward has increased from +1% to +3% mental strength.

However, the prerequisite is that you must "learn any fire-based first-level spell".

Given his current status as a novice wizard apprentice and his limited knowledge, learning a first-level spell independently would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

This is clearly not a goal that can be achieved in the short term.

The weighing of pros and cons can happen in an instant.

Without much hesitation, Motu focused his consciousness decisively on Mission One: Blood of Bronze.

On the panel, the cursor representing the task suddenly shone brightly with golden light.

The other two task options disappeared quietly like the tide, leaving only clear progress indicators:

[Current Quest Progress: Slay twenty Tier 1 magical beasts and absorb their magical core power (0/20)]

The next morning, Motu was awakened by a burst of almost noisy cheers.

He stepped out of the stone house, and in the dim morning light, he saw Green Tiles squatting next to the repaired monkey pot.

The green dragon held a rough earthenware bowl in its hands, which was filled with a dark red, clear liquid with a layer of fine bubbles floating on the surface.

A rich and mellow complex fruit aroma, mixed with a subtle and enticing wine fragrance, wafts from the bowl.

Green Tile tilted its head back, gulped down a large mouthful, and then the dragon's serrated teeth fully opened, revealing an extremely satisfied, almost intoxicated, silly smile on its face.

"It's fixed! It's really fixed!"

She saw the blue dragon and shouted excitedly, her tail twitching lightly on the ground.

"Motu, you're amazing! No matter what I tried, it wouldn't work, but you just used alchemy to bring this monkey pot back to life, and even the wine it brews is just like before!"

Green Tile, carrying a bowl, rushed over like a gust of wind and shoved the bowl directly under Blue Dragon's nose.

"Try it! Quickly, try it! This is fine wine made thanks to your skill!"

Motu looked down at the tempting color and fragrant aroma of the fruit wine in the bowl, took the bowl, and took a small sip.

The initial taste is refreshingly acidic, followed by a perfectly balanced sweetness. The texture is rich and smooth, with a subtle warmth from the just-right alcohol content.

Its flavor profile was far richer and more sophisticated than any of the bulk wines he had tasted on Blue Star.

The effects of this gold-plated wine jug are indeed extraordinary.

"Is it delicious?"

Green Tile's eyes shone as if they contained two stars, full of anticipation and pride.

"Um."

Motu nodded and handed the bowl back.

Green Tile snatched the bowl back, tilted his head back and gulped down several large mouthfuls, a satisfied blush spreading across his face.

She picked up the monkey pot like a precious treasure, humming a completely off-key, cheerful tune, and walked towards the makeshift nest she had built on the outskirts of the camp.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, as if she had thought of something, and turned around.

"Hey, Iron Bones," she called out.

"Hmm?" Motu looked at her.

"That wand of yours... is it even useful to you?"

In her emerald green vertical pupils, there was none of mockery, but rather a hint of serious inquiry.

Motu extended a claw, placed it against its abdomen, and gently sensed the dragon blood wand that floated quietly within its storage stomach pouch; a unique, active magic flowed steadily within it. The blue dragon replied:

"It works well."

Upon hearing this, Green Tile grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and its three tails swished happily twice.

"That's good."

She turned around, clutching her precious wine jug, her figure gradually fading into the increasingly bright morning light.

Only a single sentence, tinged with the scent of wine and warmth, lingered in the morning air:

"Next time you run into one of those bastards in gray leather... help me, give him a few more shocks."

Motu stood at the door of the stone house, watching her figure disappear completely.

The squad has no patrol duties today, but Motu doesn't intend to be idle.

He spread his broad, dark blue dragon wings, flapping them to create a gust of air, and his massive body quickly rose into the air.

The target is the northern edge of the camp, the vast and dangerous Darkwater Swamp, which also holds countless opportunities.

Numerous creatures inhabit that place, with countless first-tier magical beasts.

Such a rich ecological environment is the perfect place to test the Dragonblood Wand's combat power.

At the same time, it can also efficiently advance the progress of the newly accepted [Bronze Blood] quest.

The hunt is about to begin.
