The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

Rejecting Greenox’s request to accompany him, David Jones followed Beryl to the edge of the village, where an old, dilapidated thatched house stood.

Compared to the wooden houses built by the other villagers using wood, tiles, and stones, this empty thatched house only attracted David’s attention due to the medicinal materials placed in the open space in front of the door.

“Chirp!”(It’s much worse than the wooden house I made in Mesona Space!)

Lolo raised his head proudly.

David patted Lolo’s head and entered the somewhat dim thatched house with Beryl.

As soon as they entered, Beryl excitedly said, “Aqua, it’s okay, the Healer is willing to help!”

After saying that, she looked at David with hopeful eyes.

The incident last night made Beryl genuinely believe that David was a good person, otherwise, she wouldn’t dare to risk offending a powerful person by asking him for help.

After all, she could offer too little in return!

In Penance Village, a single Spirit Level poisonous elixir was indeed extremely valuable, and it was the result of the villagers’ hundreds of years of hard work in the mountains. But she knew that David had casually given her father a Spirit Level elixir yesterday!

“The Ghosts really like to use colors as surnames!”

As soon as he heard the name Aqua, David had a complicated expression on his face and couldn’t help recalling his internet days in the Flowery Kingdom!

A gentle breeze blew by, and David lowered his head to look at the figure lying on the simple wooden bed.

She had eye-catching blue hair, but it looked dry and dirty due to the filth in it.

On her forehead, the long horn of the Ghosts, which they took pride in, was broken like it had suffered some torture, leaving only a small, broken piece.

Under her blue hair was an exquisite oval face with beautiful features. On either side of her dark purple lips, small pointed teeth were visible, no wonder she was called Aqua by Beryl.

However, at this moment, her fair skin was covered in black lines for some reason. They looked a bit like tattoos, and a bit like mysterious runes drawn randomly by a heavenly hand, which made her beautiful features somewhat hard to look at.

Her breathing was a bit weak, as if she had fallen into unconsciousness. The black grass sleeve revealed her left hand covered in black blood.

Her dusty left hand was full of corrosive scars. Even the flesh of her thumb and index finger had been eroded by the intense poison, exposing the white bones beneath.

Seeing this miserable scene, David’s eyes instantly narrowed.

Although Aqua’s eyes were not bulging like a monster’s, nor was her back deformed, David concluded that she had fallen into a coma because she had been contaminated by a trace of deadly poison from the explosion of the Red Earth Elixir.

Noticing the surprise on David’s face, Beryl’s courage waned, and she timidly said.

“Aqua may have a broken Ghost Horn, but she’s a good person. Please save her!”

“Rest assured, I can save her!” David confidently said.

After all, if it weren’t for him detonating the Red Earth Elixir, the girl on the bed wouldn’t have ended up in such a dire situation.

What puzzled David was how the girl had survived without a specially made elixir to alleviate the deadly poison.

It was known that even a trace of deadly poison could kill Sixth-Order King-Class Exotic Beasts!

“This girl from the Ghosts must have a secret!”

David’s eyes narrowed, and he took out a specially-made Detoxification Elixir and a bowl of water from the Star Ring. He merged them together and then used the Confusion to guide the medicinal liquid into Aqua’s mouth.

Soon after, the antidote took effect, and the girl, who had been asleep for a long time, moved her fingers slightly and opened her dazzling blue eyes.

“I didn’t die?” Aqua showed a bitter smile, as if not dying was a regret for her.

“Aqua, with the Healer’s help, you won’t die!” Beryl said nervously.

Hearing that, Aqua showed a forced smile to Beryl and turned her head to look at the influential person mentioned by Beryl. She tried to show her gratitude according to the customs but was stopped by David.

“How did you get contaminated with this intense poison?” David asked softly.

Aqua’s eyes flashed with a hint of fear.

“After the wrath of the Thunder God yesterday, a corpse floated down from the Star Abyss Lake. I picked up some things, and after I got home, the poison erupted, and I passed out on the ground.”

Without concealment or deception, the girl told everything she knew.

David was slightly surprised and immediately thought of a possibility, “Show me the things you picked up, so I can better determine the cause of the poison on your body.”

“The things are under the bed. Beryl, help me get them,” Aqua said indifferently.

Sometimes the gap between people can be even larger than that of animals. In front of the prestigious Healer, the treasures in her eyes might just be garbage. “These rings are like the Healer’s!” Beryl exclaimed in surprise, taking out two shiny rings and an ancient bracelet from under the bed.

“This is Collins Clark’s Star Ring!” David’s eyes lit up instantly.

To gain without pains was truly lucky! If not for his impulsiveness, he might have missed this Star Ring!

“I have no way to repay the lifesaving grace. If you like these things, I’ll give them to you as a reward,” Aqua offered.

Unlike Beryl, who was full of astonishment, the clever Aqua sensed David’s slight desire for the rings at the first moment.

To avoid the possibility of him stealing the treasures and killing her to cover it up, Aqua chose to give away the eye-catching but not-too-useful jewelry.

“Ah, Aqua, can you also give me one?” Beryl asked as she couldn’t let go of the ring.

“These things already belong to him, it’s no use asking me. It’s up to him to decide,” Aqua shook her head.

Accepting the arcane implement from Beryl, David smiled and said, “If you like it, you can have the ring. But I need to keep the other one.”

[Broken Void Protection Ring]: Class VII Epic A tier arcane implement, when imbued with Arcane Force, the wearer can temporarily become intangible and hide in another dimension, thus immune to most attacks.

[Current Status]: Completely damaged, unable to be repaired.

For such a sophisticated protection ring arcane implement, the cost of repairs by a blacksmith is even more expensive than buying a new defensive arcane implement. The only valuable part is the material of the ring itself, but it has also lost its innate spirituality and is not worth much.

Therefore, giving it to Beryl was not a big deal for David.

Compared to this damaged defensive arcane implement, David was more interested in the undamaged top-grade Star Ring in Beryl’s hand.

[Top-grade Star Ring]: Class VII Spatial Arcane Implement, storage treasure created by Rune Grandmaster with Spatial Rune and Blacksmith Grandmaster using Sky Crystal, its internal space is vast with a capacity of about tens of thousands of cubic meters.

Note: This Star Ring has already locked a Dungeon anchor point (As the original host died, the Star Ring space is sealed. It requires special techniques and the same bloodline as the host to open!)

After putting away the top-grade Star Ring, David breathed a sigh of relief..
