Lin Jun felt that next time he should award himself a Shroom Oscar.
Just look at this series of remarkably lifelike performances; it completely fooled this green dragon.
However, a giant dragon was ultimately not a sparrow; it wasn't that easy to catch.
Right before being stuffed inside, it actually managed to spew out a breath of dark green Dragon Breath.
Fortunately, Puchis—creatures almost purely driven by mana—were not afraid of so-called highly toxic poisons. If it had been a red dragon, it might have truly broken free.
The strength of this dragon was clearly inferior to that red dragon that had come knocking on their door back then.
Even so, the Giant Puchi barely managed to bind him. After forcefully stuffing him into its belly, it relied on a high concentration of hallucinogenic spores internally to temporarily quiet him down.
This place was still far from the Mushroom Fortress, and transporting him back would take quite a bit of time.
In order to prevent the highly resistant green dragon from waking up halfway and struggling again, Lin Jun had no choice but to process him slightly.
Thud—!
A muffled boom echoed from afar. On the streets of the Mushroom Fortress, some Fungal Citizens looked in the direction of the sound, but most ignored it.
They had heard enough of this kind of commotion recently. Although it was a bit noisy, it actually only occurred during a certain period of the day, so it wasn't a big problem.
The Fungal Citizens heard that some new weapon was being tested. Most of them felt it was probably some new type of Resonance Cannon.
South of the Mushroom Fortress, Little Black finally managed to dig herself out of the crater. Disregarding her head injuries and bleeding, she began to dig through the surrounding minced meat.
This guy who stole her gems was still somewhat capable when it came to running away.
Since he couldn't compete in speed, he kept drilling into complex terrain, and even left behind illusions several times, misleading Little Black.
Forced into a corner and unable to retrieve her shinies, Little Black had no choice but to use her newly acquired [Meteor Impact].
However, although she rammed this D-class to death, the outcome was not very good.
She found that emerald; it was shattered.
It was still as pure as before, but the broken cracks made the gemstone lose its original crystal-clear beauty.
This was already the nth time recently she had lost a shiny.
Some were destroyed during the chase like this one, while others were lost because the thief successfully escaped.
Holding these bloodstained fragments, Little Black looked up at the sky and sorrowfully let out an "Awooo."
These thieves were too detestable. She had already thought of a way to bury the shinies in the ground in batches, yet they were still stolen!
Because she was worried about her shinies, Little Black even had a poor appetite recently, eating one less delicious Puchi every day. Her originally somewhat chubby figure gradually thinned down a bit.
Little Black no longer slept inside the mushroom house; instead, she slept on the roof, constantly guarding her buried shinies, forbidding anyone from approaching.
Except for Norris. In Little Black's eyes, he was considered a super-large shiny that produced shinies.
"Little Black, I found the culprit who directed those little thieves to steal your shinies!" Lin Jun said excitedly.
"Cul... prit...?"
"It's the biggest thief!"
"Big thief!" Lying on top of the mushroom house, Little Black understood this time. Her black scales stood on end, her dragon back arched, and anger burned within her golden dragon pupils.
Under the guidance of the Puchi, Little Black quickly flew to the location of the "big thief."
With no front claws or hind legs, and his dragon wings dismantled, leaving only a long neck and a dragon head attached to his massive torso, Woodworm was dragged out of the Giant Puchi's belly and dropped heavily onto the ground.
Seeing that it was a dragon, the usually independent Little Black actually subconsciously pulled her dragon wings closer, half-covering herself.
The green dragon stuffed inside the Giant Puchi's belly had long since woken up; he just couldn't struggle.
After being thrown out, he immediately saw Little Black.
Woodworm's pupils abruptly shrank into thin slits.
"You are... that weakest Swergis!"
He seemed to have thought of something, and a muffled roar rolled from his throat.
"You... you..." His neck snapped straight, his dragon head rearing high, only to crash heavily onto the ground due to a loss of balance, splashing mud. "You despicable Swergis! You actually colluded with these lowly bugs to set a trap for me? I'm going to... I'm going to...!"
Woodworm opened his mouth toward Little Black, wanting to spew Dragon Breath, but he had already used up all his stored Dragon Breath while struggling along the way. This time, he only managed to squeeze out a few wisps of green mist.
The address 'Swergis' seemed to have hooked some memories out of Little Black's not-too-bright brain.
Her originally furious appearance vanished, replaced by a somewhat cowering demeanor, even though the opponent was just a dragon stick.
This scene made Woodworm even more arrogant, frantically venting the anger of losing his limbs: "I remember you. You're that little lackey who was always following behind Da Long! No different from those Kobold servants! Truly ridiculous, a little runt like you is also fit to be considered a dragon? You actually want to become an Ancient Dragon?"
Woodworm laughed heartily, as if amused by his own last sentence.
He already knew his fate, so he had absolutely no scruples at this moment.
"What is he saying?" Having listened to the green dragon howl for half a day, Lin Jun never expected that he would one day need Little Black to act as an interpreter.
And Little Black's intelligence remained stable. Relying on single words and stammering for a long time, Lin Jun finally roughly understood the meaning.
A Puchi climbed up Little Black's tail, settled on top of her head, and rubbed her black scales with its tentacles.
"Tell her, what is your name?"
"My name... what?"
"Right, what is your name? Is it Swergis? Or...?"
"My name is," Little Black's golden dragon pupils trembled, darting back and forth between the Puchi on her head and the green dragon, until she finally mustered her courage and let out a sudden, loud roar, "Not Swergis! Little Black is called Little Black!"
"You clearly are Swer—" The green dragon still wanted to attack with words, but Lin Jun didn't give him the chance.
Lin Jun's voice glided silkily through Little Black's consciousness: "Yes, yes, your name is Little Black, you are the good Little Black raised by me, the Boss! And him..."
The Giant Puchi's tentacles dug around under the green dragon's scales, and the jewelry wedged beneath them cascaded onto the ground with a clatter.
They were all the shinies carried by those D-class personnel who had successfully escaped recently!
"And him, he's just a big thief who stole your shinies!"
The moment she saw these shinies fall out, all the sorrow from continuously losing her shinies recently surged into her heart. The anger that had vanished from Little Black's eyes flared up once more. "Big thief, need biting!!!"
The furious Little Black didn't bite, but instead flapped her dragon wings, soaring high into the sky. After circling and accelerating once... [Meteor Impact].
BOOM—!
Woodworm's body, which served as a target, was forcibly pierced through. Little Black, amidst the massive impact, knocked herself unconscious once again. Mixed with the green dragon's flesh and blood, she was buried in the dirt, having also sustained quite a bit of injury.
As for that Puchi that had climbed onto Little Black's head, it didn't have time to get off the dragon bus...
"Cough, cough..."
Coughing up dragon blood, the dying Woodworm looked at the surrounding Puchis and laughed hoarsely.
"Do you think you can raise an Ancient Dragon like this? Trying... trying to defile the dragon struggle, you ridiculous fools. You will surely... amidst the fury of the giant dragons, pay... pay... the pri—"
The dragon's head drooped, and it breathed no more.
Lin Jun didn't care about the green dragon's likely cursing words before it died; such things were just daily complaints in the D-class Paradise.
It was just that...
The Puchis dug out Little Black, whose eyes were spinning in circles. On the status panel:
[Path of the Ancient Dragon 11%]
It only increased by 1%.
