Chapter 19

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chris only laughed at Dolan’s words, and then told him about how he had traded the meat of a ferocious beast for the Demon Fusion Grass yesterday.

When Dolan heard these words, his eyes widened like copper bells.

It was as if he was saying that there was actually such a good thing in this world?

“You’re telling me that the flesh, hide, and bones of a ferocious beast can be exchanged for a Demon Fusion Grass?”

If it had been Dolan, he would have pushed the price much higher.

That was because the Demon Fusion Grass was not a medicinal herb that the participants of the first day could use!

Its price would rise sharply after the third day!

At that time, a Demon Fusion Grass could at least exchange for all the materials of a demonic beast!

Now, with just a little bit of beast meat, bones, and a piece of skin, Chris had easily obtained this demonic grass!

This was too unbelievable for Dolan!

Dolan was now convinced of one thing. Chris was the chosen one this time!

“If that’s the case, then I will tell Master what I think…”

In short, Dolan’s advice to Chris was that it was best if the following battles were dealt with by his followers.

When Chris’s speed and strength reached 1,000, Chris would be able to reach the bronze rank. At that time, he would be able to head straight to the base of the dire beasts and quickly increase his strength.

That was because Chris would only be able to obtain materials to strengthen the Obsidian Sword in the territory of the dire beasts!

“Is that so? Then Master Dolan, can you come with us to suppress the demonic beasts?”

Chris had tried to send Dolan to hunt, but the system hadn’t allowed that to happen.

He didn’t know if it was Dolan’s own reluctance or some other reason that made it impossible to dispatch him.

In the earlier stages, a diamond-level follower should be able to wipe out no matter what kind of monster he faced.

Dolan replied calmly, “This old man is only a blacksmith. The matters of fighting and killing still have to be handled by master and other followers.”

“I have a suggestion for Master. If you can raise the strength of that dragon first, Master’s path will be incomparably smooth.”

Chris nodded slightly at Dolan’s words.

He did not expect that there were so many troublesome things in this world.

However, if he were able to send his diamond-level follower from the start, the cheat would be too obvious.

However, he would need to consume the Witch Potions before looking for demonic grasses.

Hence, with this thought in mind, Chris brought Whitey and River to the territories of ferocious beasts.

“Sir, be careful. There might be an extremely dangerous monster around!”

Chirp chirp chirp!

Whitey echoed. Their strength was almost at the bronze level. That was why they could also sense that there was a powerful life form not far out!

Although the current River was much weaker, not even one-tenth of what it was before, her combat instincts were still very sharp. She could sense any danger around her immediately.

As for the surrounding ferocious beasts, she was confident that she could kill them. However, there was a terrifying monster not far away.

After consuming the Witch Potion and the hearts of numerous ferocious beasts, Chris also could sense that there was an existence nearby that could threaten them!

Suddenly, Chris thought of the speed at which Whitey had hastily flown back this morning. Whitey’s true speed might be much more than that.

“Whitey, with your speed, do you think the dire beast there can catch up to you?”

Chris looked at Whitey, who was flapping its wings.

When he upgraded the wood warehouse today, he saw the speed with which Whitey was flying.

It should be able to reach the speed of sound. When Chris had asked Whitey to carry the meat before, it had been flying slowly because it was too lazy.

“Sir, Whitey is just a baby dragon. It might not be that fast.”

River reminded him kindly.

After all, it was not easy for a baby dragon to fly.

If it were to become a scout, wouldn’t it lose its life if it encountered any danger?

Moreover, she had once fought against an adult dragon.

She was well aware of the dragon’s strength.

Chirp chirp chirp!

Whitey only flapped its wings to show that it would not be a problem. It seemed to want to show off a dragon’s speed!

Naturally, River could see that as well. She felt a pang of nervousness.

However, Chris knew Whitey’s strength very well.

“You underestimate Whitey. It should be able to easily fly while carrying both of us…”

As soon as he said that, Chris pulled River into his arms. Before she could react, Whitey grabbed onto Chris’s shoulders and flapped its wings to fly!

“Sir… this… should be dangerous, right? Whitey is just a baby dragon!”

For a moment, River was at a loss as to what to do with this sudden scene.

Her face flushed red!

River’s parents had passed away when she was young. At the young age of thirteen, she had joined the Empire and became a soldier. She only interacted with men with swords.

Anyone who dared to do this to her would have died under her sword!

However, River had no intention of resisting what Chris had done.

“Don’t worry, Whitey is very strong. Carrying the two of us is not an issue for it.”

As he spoke, Chris tightened his grip.

Chris was not worried about hurting River. After all, River was the strongest swordsman in the Empire!

If he could hurt her, that would be too funny!

Chirp chirp chirp!

Whitey agreed.

Seeing this, River finally felt relieved.

“Master, if you want to learn flying skills, you only need to reach 500 points of mana.”

Chris opened his character panel.
