Chapter 226 Reward

Normally, the mad dragon virus does not infect organisms that are too small or too primitive.

Strictly speaking, the Mad Dragon Virus is originally the reproductive cell of the Black Devouring Dragon. Its spread and the Mad Dragon Curse's fundamental purpose are reproduction. Those creatures with insufficient energy in their bodies are obviously not suitable as a breeding ground.

However, when it is combined with the true dragon's own abilities, the situation is completely different.

As naturally magical creatures, dragons are surrounded by a special magical field from birth, and this magical field continues to strengthen as they age and their strength increases.

Some powerful dragons can even transform this magical field into an ability called Dragon's Nest Authority, making their territory an extension of themselves.

Therefore, in places where true dragons have long inhabited, the surrounding environment will change, and plants and animals will also exhibit "dragonization" phenomena.

When this ability is combined with the Mad Dragon Virus, the resulting Mad Dragon Curse, after being enhanced by the Chaotic Aberration Domain, can penetrate almost anything. Not to mention fungi, even inorganic matter will be affected.

This caused the thermophilic bacteria that had long lived near the magma inside the volcano to begin to grow and evolve wildly, and to develop a special connection with Thor.

He no longer needs to go through the fungus people; he can directly obtain the information he wants from the mycelial network that covers the area around the volcano.

At the same time, a completely new kind of fungus human emerged from the scorching fungal carpet.

They retained the original mushroom people's characteristic short and stocky build, with the same metallic blackish-red skin, but instead of a round cap on their heads, they had a raised cone that looked like a miniature volcano.

As Thor flew out of the volcano, he caught a glimpse of two of these volcanic mushroom people spewing molten iron from their heads.

These creatures can absorb various metallic substances from magma using mycelium, heat and purify them inside their bodies, and store them in miniature volcanoes on their heads. This can be used to strengthen themselves or as a dangerous means of attack.

The moment Thor stepped onto the ground, the mycelium extending from underground engaged in a spiritual exchange with him.

Since he fell into slumber, everything that had happened in the territory had appeared in his mind in great detail, even more so than many who had experienced it firsthand.

The kobolds' loyalty and the golden dragon's keeping of its promise were not unexpected, but the fact that the blue dragon in front of him dared to attack the old blue dragon was quite surprising.

So, when he focused his consciousness on his mind and looked at the more than 30,000 essence points lying on the essence balance, he gently tapped the wheel, and a blue crystal the size of a basketball immediately appeared in his hand.

The pure power of lightning radiated outwards, causing the lightning elements in the environment to resonate with it, producing sharp crackling sounds.

In addition, its sky-blue color perfectly matched the Blue Dragon's aesthetic, so much so that it immediately attracted Leilia's attention the moment it appeared.

"Excellent, I've seen your loyalty, this is a reward for you!"

A deep sound vibrated through the air, and to Lelia's incredulous gaze, a dazzling crystal rolled from the red dragon's claws and fell toward her.

She quickly reached out her paw and caught it steadily, examining it carefully with a fascinated look in her eyes.

This is absolutely gorgeous! And this pure power of thunder must be placed in the most prominent position in her treasury.

The powerful red dragon was willing to bestow such a precious treasure. Could it be that as he grew older, he had become increasingly attached to himself? Just as Leilia couldn't help but let her thoughts wander, Thor waved her away and summoned the golden dragon from mid-air.

Alan looked at the increasingly powerful red dragon with complicated emotions. The dragon's 27-meter length was longer than his own, and its body was almost twice as thick.

From the time she first met the red dragon until now, only a few years have passed. In the long lifespan of a true dragon, this is sometimes just the time it takes to take a nap or go on a long trip.

However, in this short period of time, the red dragon, who had once fought her to a standstill, had grown to a level that she could no longer reach. Its overwhelming power was something she had only ever felt from her elders.

Countless thoughts surged in Alan's mind. She opened her mouth and spat out a long, narrow stone box, followed by a continuous stream of gold coins and jewels.

With his keen sense of wealth, Thor only needed to glance at them to roughly estimate that they were worth at least several hundred thousand gold coins. Just as he was feeling slightly puzzled, a clear and gentle voice rang out.

"This is the tax revenue and proceeds from the sale of goods within the territory during your slumber."

Because there wasn't a suitable place to store it, I had been keeping it. Now that you're awake, it's time to return it to its rightful owner.

The piles of gold coins and jewels reflected the sunlight, casting a dazzling, golden glow.

The young dragons and baby dragons around them all wore expressions of disbelief, never expecting that a dragon would be willing to spit out the treasure it had already swallowed.

Even Thor was slightly surprised. He glanced at the treasure piled at his feet, and with a wave of his paw, a squad of kobolds rushed over, took it away, and sealed it away properly.

Hundreds of thousands of gold coins might be the sum of many true dragons' entire fortunes, but for Thor now, they are nothing to him.

However, Jinlong's willingness to hand it over voluntarily made him extremely satisfied.

"Excellent! It seems that entrusting this territory to you was a wise choice; this is a reward for you!"

Another ripple of void energy appeared in Thor's palm, and this time, a fist-sized orb shimmered with rainbow light.

A whole kilogram of ether crystals cost Thor a thousand points of essence, almost equivalent to two or three days' worth of food expenses, yet he casually tossed it toward the golden dragon not far away.

A multitude of eyes immediately followed the movement of the dazzling pearl until it fell into the claw of a dragon, which seemed to be cast in gold. Only then did the dragons awaken from their daze.

Envy, jealousy, and a heart-wrenching pain welled up in the hearts of all the true dragons around except for Thor and Alan. On the other side, Leilia gritted her fangs, her eyes flashing with electricity, and a strong sour feeling rose in her heart.

Why?

On what grounds?

What am I anyway?

These intense emotions were absorbed by the wheel in Thor's mind, causing his essence balance to jump slightly upwards, which was a small recovery.

He ignored the fire-breathing light of the other dragons around him, and disregarded the golden dragon's surprised gaze, turning his head to look at the remaining kobolds.

"And you, tiny creatures, the great red dragon will not forget your loyalty either."

However, you are still too weak to become qualified servants, so the great red dragon has decided to grant you even greater abilities!

Come! Feel the power of the raging dragon! Let the flames of transformation burn away your vile bloodline, and you be completely reborn!
