Chapter 129 The Bone Dragon with Golden Flames!

Muttering to itself, the bone dragon, with golden flames blazing across its entire body, chased after the lingering scent.

As for the Fallen Dragon Valley, it was left in a state of disarray!

Some time after the bone dragon left, a figure emerged amidst the ruins of Fallen Dragon Valley.

He wasn't very big, just over two meters tall, roughly the size of a slightly larger ultra-mini dragon beast.

Most importantly, he didn't possess any dragon traits; instead, he radiated an aura of madness and chaos.

"This world isn't bad; there are quite a few strong ones here. It's better to be cautious. Fortunately, I ran away quickly. What terrifying flames! They can even burn souls.

Luckily, I didn't make a big fuss like that guy. Not only did he fail to complete his mission, but he also got beaten half to death. If it weren't for my blessing, he'd be dead!

Huh?

They're chasing me so fast. No, I have to go back. If I get targeted by that guy, my blessing won't help!"

Saying that, the figure disappeared from the spot, leaving behind a vast sea of wandering elements, made extremely frantic by the power emanating from his body!

Just as he left, the bone dragon, with golden flames blazing all over, flew back once more.

The elements that had been affected earlier regained their calm under the burning golden flames.

"Gone?"

After murmuring to itself, the bone dragon didn't stay but, after a moment of hesitation, chose a direction at random and left.

...

Bang!

After a loud explosion, Linstar stared blankly at the dragon scales embedded in a tree in the distance.

Honestly, he doubted his life a little bit.

Watching Vetter draw the magic circle was so simple, but when it was his turn, all he got was explosion after explosion.

The same thing happened when he prepared the magical solution before.

Thinking of this, Linstar turned to look at Vetter and said somewhat timidly, "Vetter, about that magic circle, maybe it's okay to skip it. I don't think I have a talent for it!"

Upon hearing this, Vetter seemed to ignore it and simply said, "Continue!"

He wanted to be calm, but during the half-month since they left Fallen Dragon Valley, Linstar had revealed another flaw in his personality: a lack of perseverance.

Since the other had passed the rapid growth stage, Vetter naturally arranged the same set of courses for Linstar that Winters had arranged for them.

Fortunately, Vetter possessed impressive abilities in alchemy, magic circles, and potion-making. Let's not even mention magic circles; alchemy was one of the few ways Vetter could relieve his stress.

As for potion-making, it was because he was quite familiar with Bocco. Therefore, he didn't abandon this subject.

Among the Six Dragons, Vetter ranked second in potion-making, with Dinnet taking the first spot.

So, it was no problem for Vetter to teach Linstar.

However, whether it was alchemy, magic circles, or potion-making, whenever Linstar encountered a slight difficulty, he would hesitate for a moment and then choose to give up, using the excuse that he might not have a talent for it.

Initially, Vetter would patiently persuade him, but after gradually figuring out Linstar's personality, he was left with only the word "continue," which had even become a habit!

And facts proved that dragons were pushed to their limits...

Under Vetter's strict teaching, within half a month, Linstar, who kept saying he had no talent, had successfully mastered the preparation of magical solutions and the "Sharpness" spell.

Of course, Linstar didn't need to master the "Sharpness" spell to a very high level; this spell was only used to process herbs.

As for alchemy, talent was indeed important.

Moreover, due to Lofa's relaxed education, Vetter didn't force Linstar to learn anything specific in this area; he just gave him a pile of ores and a standard, then left him to his own devices!

This laid-back teaching method was surprisingly to Linstar's liking, and he would talk a lot whenever it was time for alchemy.

In addition to Linstar, Antawana was also brought by Vetter to study together.

Of course, her curriculum was purely theoretical.

Vetter's requirements for her were similar to how the teachers in the academy demanded of Celine and the others.

You didn't need to be able to brew potions, draw magic circles, or create alchemical puppets, but you must recognize them when you see them, especially magic circles and alchemical items.

Most magic circles and alchemical items were dangerous, especially when encountered outside.

Of course, if Linstar really didn't want to learn, Vetter wouldn't insist and would lower his standards for him to the same level as Antawana's.

However, Linstar's claim of having no talent seemed more like a complaint, as he never refused when Vetter told him to continue.

Besides, what was called a class was mostly fragmented time.

They had to travel, so they could only take out some time to study during breaks.

As for their journey, Vetter could only say that it hadn't been smooth.

As they traveled downstream along the Moonshadow River, they saw many places occupied by fallen dragon beasts.

Fortunately, most of these fallen dragon beasts were ultra-minis, and even the small ones were scavengers, occasionally mixed with some herbivorous ones, but none were medium or large-sized.

These herbivorous fallen dragon beasts were likely infected by that power when hunted by scavenger dragon beasts.

Not encountering predatory fallen dragon beasts was quite good news, indicating that these fallen dragon beasts couldn't yet handle powerful predators.

But Vetter suspected that this situation wouldn't last long.

These fallen dragon beasts weren't harmonious with each other. When they encountered each other without normal dragon beasts or dragons around, they would engage in fierce battles and devour one another.

In this process, these fallen dragon beasts were gradually becoming stronger, and it wouldn't take long before predatory dragon beasts emerged among them.

Every time Vetter thought of this, he couldn't help but feel grateful that they had left in time. As time passed, the areas around the Moonshadow River would become increasingly dangerous.

Of course, this was based on the assumption that these fallen dragon beasts could develop smoothly.

Currently, the surroundings of the Moonshadow River weren't very dangerous, but as normal dragons, Vetter and the others would inevitably be targeted by these fallen dragon beasts when they encountered them.

It was annoying!

However, they didn't have a particularly good solution. As the only landmark, they couldn't stray too far from the Moonshadow River.

Flying too high would also make them easy targets for powerful predatory dragon beasts.

Thinking of this, Vetter shook his tail quite irritably, hitting the ground with great force and splashing bits of snowy ice.

After hearing Vetter's words, Linstar, who was once again trying to draw a mana circuit, thought Vetter was urging him when he heard the commotion.

As a result, he became nervous, and the enchantment pen he was holding dug too deeply into the dragon scale. His heart sank!

Then, when Linstar cautiously glanced at Vetter, he realized that Vetter wasn't looking at him at all.

His eyes darted around, and Linstar pressed the ruined dragon scale firmly into the ground in front of him and carefully covered it with snow from the side. When he saw that there were no obvious traces left, a smile crept up on his lips.

However, before he could celebrate for too long, he felt a pain in his head. He turned around and saw Vetter, who had just retracted his tail, looking at him with a half-smile.

"Covering up your failures is the biggest failure. Continue!"

Linstar awkwardly lowered his head and picked up another dragon scale from the side. After taking a deep breath, he began to draw the circuit intently.

Seeing this, Vetter shook his head helplessly.

The kid was so silly. If he had moved a bit faster, Vetter might not have noticed.

After all, Vetter had given Linstar dragon scales in piles, without a specific count.

But he insisted on cleaning up the traces on the ground as if he were trying to hide something obvious, and any dragon could see what he was doing.

Additionally, the dragon scales Vetter brought out were consumables, which he had taken from the dragon nest. They were the most numerous items besides meat.

Even if they were used up, replacements could be easily found.

There were plenty of dragon beasts with scales, and for a beginner like Linstar, there was no difference between dragon beast scales and dragon scales, except for hardness.

Of course, the same applied to Vetter now.

When it came to fifth-level magic circles, there was a significant difference between dragon scales and dragon beast scales. Using the latter would greatly shorten the lifespan of the magic circle.

Just then, a slight elemental fluctuation came from the distant horizon.

Sensing this elemental fluctuation, Vetter stood up and looked up, seeing Antawana flying towards them from afar.

However, she didn't land but flew close and directly said, "Vetter, we've found something!"

Upon hearing this, a flicker of curiosity danced in Vetter's eyes.

Ordinary discoveries wouldn't have Antawana this eager.

"Come on, let's go see it together!"

Saying this, Vetter cleared away everything in front of Linstar.

Linstar instinctively let out a sigh of relief, then, thinking about what had just happened, felt a bit embarrassed as he followed Vetter.
