The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Chapter 237 - 237: 231: Dragon Blood Exchange

As the distance kept getting closer, he could feel that the Dragon-Wielding power inside his Arcane Star was fluctuating. However, the fluctuation was not significant, very subtle, and even gave off a hint of danger.

This couldn’t help but raise more suspicion in his heart.

Three minutes later.

As Jones sensed the sweet fragrance permeating the forest, his pace gradually slowed down, eventually stopping in front of a giant red tree.

He looked up, and there was a crimson Dragon Blood Fruit, with the appearance of a coiled dragon, hanging on the stout branches.

“Dragon Blood Fruit”: Level VI dragon-type pet resource, a dragon-type treasure nurtured by countless dragon blood as nourishment. The fragrance it exudes has a great attraction to dragon-type beasts and could even cause them to lose their reason. After consumption and refining, there is a certain chance for dragon-type pets to awaken the power hidden within their dragon bloodline.

Looking at the Dragon Blood Fruit close at hand, a smile couldn’t help but appear on David Jones’ face.

Rainbow subconsciously swam from his wrist to his shoulder, its majestic dragon eyes firmly staring at the Dragon Blood Fruit, a trace of desire appeared in its heart.

Claire Guameri stood beside, staring at the Dragon Blood Fruit in a daze, soon her eyes suddenly burst with an excited glow.

As a native Trainer of Rosewood City, she had naturally heard of the Dragon Blood Fruit, and she even knew the specific origin of the Dragon Blood Fruit. With Guarnen’s influence and connections in Rosewood City, they could only buy three Dragon Blood Fruits from Director Hoyle throughout the year. It’s too scarce, and only the most direct descendants of the family are eligible to obtain it.

The family didn’t want to buy more Dragon Blood Fruits at a high price, but with Director Hoyle’s power and status, getting three of them was already the limit of Guarneri’s ability.

After all, a Pharmacist who had half a foot in the realm of a Great Grandmaster didn’t care about the resources and Star coins obtained from selling Dragon Blood Fruits.

Suppose her pet, Dragonfish Lord, could obtain a Dragon Blood Fruit. In that case, it might evolve in the future to have more powerful potential as a Dragon Pet.

Thinking of this, Claire glanced at David Jones.

Quentin Scott and Margaret Yule in the field were not worth considering; only this man was the most significant threat.

Just as Claire was about to propose a negotiation, Jones saw through her thoughts with a glance and directly said: “According to the rules of the assessment, the winner gets everything.”

Upon hearing this, Claire was immediately frozen. With her abilities, how could she compete with the monster that was David Jones?

She pursed her lips, and as the Star Ring flickered, three pitch-black crystals appeared in her hand. She suggested unwillingly, “If you give the Dragon Blood Fruit to me, these three Black Crystals are yours.”

David Jones shook his head, “I still want the Dragon Blood Fruit more.”

Claire’s face darkened.

At this moment, a magnetic voice suddenly rang out.

“Isn’t it a bit impolite to discuss these matters in front of the owner of the fruit?”

Everyone immediately looked towards the source of the voice, and a graceful figure quietly appeared before them.

“A Dryad?”

Seeing the petite figure suddenly appearing on the branch of the red tree, the four David Jones subconsciously stepped back a few steps, their faces full of caution.

This Dryad had long, slender ears and looked like the legendary elf from just its exterior. She was small and petite, about one meter tall, resembling a delicate doll.

Her waist-length green hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall, and a delicate bracelet made of red and gold adorned her right wrist. Her serene and calm eyes were so soothing to look at that they brought peace to one’s mind.

Her curvaceous figure, which seemed almost unfairly perfect, was covered with layers of natural dresses made of flowers and leaves. Below the short skirt made of flowers, a pair of black silk jade-like feet were firmly planted on the red tree.

Based on this alone, David Jones could determine that this dryad was definitely owned by someone, otherwise it wouldn’t possibly have clothing produced in the human world.

Unlike before, during the practical assessment, he might have been able to kill any encountered beasts at will, but this dryad was an exception. It was a powerful pet with some backing.

Thinking of this, David Jones didn’t dare to activate his Penetrating Eye ability, but instead used his Identify talent to avoid unintentionally offending this exotic beast.

After all, activating Penetrating Eye without someone’s consent might easily provoke their hostility.

“Pet Name”: Unknown Elf

“Pet Type”: ???

“Species Level”: ???

“Blocked by an unknown arcane force, I can’t see any detailed information. It seems that this dryad possesses a psychic skill that conceals her aura. Her strength must be at least Class VI.”

David Jones blinked in surprise and felt more relaxed.

Although he did not know why a terrifying Class VI being suddenly appeared during the practical assessment, it was clear that this was a pre-arranged plan by Rosewood College and should not pose any life-threatening danger.

Reacting even faster than David Jones, Claire Guameri was now intently gazing at the dream-like existence before her.

Epic powerhouses were elusive, and she had never before seen the legendary Dragon-Devouring Tree, a beast rumored to be capable of tearing a true dragon apart.

Fearing to offend such a powerful senior, Claire restrained her excitement and carefully inquired, “Sir, I’m sorry for our rudeness. May I ask if I may have the honor of purchasing a Dragon Blood Fruit from you?”

As her words fell, Claire promptly bowed in a display of thick-skinned politeness.

“Sir?”

Upon hearing this, David Jones and the others were startled. This title could only be used by those with epic strength or above. The enchanting elf in front of them was actually a seventh-order or above overlord exotic beast.

“Is this the same level of seventh-order overlord as Lolo? Looking at her appearance alone, she doesn’t seem intimidating at all.” David Jones gazed at the elf before him with an appreciative eye.

The elf, appearing intrigued, glanced at the Black Crystal in Claire’s hand. “Are

you planning to exchange a Black Crystal for a Dragon Blood Fruit?”

“Yes, please grant my request,” Claire replied sincerely.

The elf smiled, raised her delicate hand, and the Dragon Blood Fruit on the red tree immediately fell into her palm.

The Ironstone Dragon was only the first test! Want a Dragon Blood Fruit? I only accept dragon blood in exchange.”

As she spoke, the elf cast an envious glance at the rainbow on David Jones’ wrist.

Claire, upon hearing this, hesitated for a moment. A glint of light flashed between her fingers as she subconsciously summoned her pet.

As soon as Dragonfish Lord appeared, it began to lose its sanity due to the fragrance emitted by the Dragon Blood Fruit, and it was on the verge of falling into a frenzy.

“The blood of Dragonfish Lord is not dragon blood.”

Seeing this, the elf shook her head disdainfully..
