At such a young age, she’s already fully utilizing her advantages to constantly test Lin Suo’s limits.
Such a mischievous spirit she is.
"Let’s wait a few days."
After a few days, once he temporarily suspends the research projects in the Wizard Tower, he also needs to make a trip out.
In terms of witchcraft, he has nearly pushed his limits, now there’s plenty of time for him to slowly work on Synthesis and combination!
Currently lacking materials, he plans to gather space and death elements; it would be a good opportunity to take Thea out for a stroll.
The strongest creatures among the magical beasts are only at the Ninth Ring.
Due to their lack of intelligence, he can easily evade them using Space Witchcraft, so there’s absolutely no need to worry about safety.
"Great! Thea loves Papa the most."
Lin Suo shows a doting smile, ruffles her hair, and then heads to the living room.
For him, the definitions of bad and good are different.
He actually appreciates Thea’s cleverness.
Being a bit unruly is fine, as long as it’s within his control; allowing her to release occasionally is good for the darker aspects within her heart.
When she grows up a bit more, Lin Suo will start to regulate her behavior.
Teach by example, and lead by deeds!
As for teaching her meditation, that will have to wait.
Thea is a being born from the negative side of the World Tree Seed, unlike the normal plant-like growth rooted at the center of the world by the World Tree, she is a real "person", no, she should be called a "god".
A god in her juvenile state.
But under Lin Suo’s guidance and teaching.
She chooses to hide her divine side, not using her innate power.
There are pros and cons to this.
Lin Suo’s biggest concern is her becoming an entity similar to a Demon Spirit under the influence of dark powers.
"The responsibility is great and the journey is long~"
He played and frolicked with Thea for several days.
Lin Suo released the Chimera Beast King from the Giant Beast Gate, shrunk the Wizard Tower, and attached it to his waist.
Holding Thea, he rode on the Beast King.
Heading toward the direction of the High Elf Empire.
There, lies a marshland, dwelling place of the Black Dragon Clan; since the apocalypse outbreak, the Black Dragons naturally are in a state of plunder, targeting Elves.
Hundreds of Black Dragons inhabit the Rotten Nest.
The previous Five-colored Dragon King was from the legendary lineage of the Black Dragon Clan.
The Five-colored Dragon King is in slumber, evolving from an Ancient Dragon toward an even older form; it has been a long time since they’ve shown themselves.
According to intelligence from the Golden Academy.
This Legendary Giant Dragon is likely undergoing metamorphosis on a desolate planet near Padolon, attempting to absorb more Power of the Starry Sky to achieve its transformation.
So, this is a good opportunity.
Near the Rotten Nest, there are spatial rifts specifically created by Black Dragons to train their bodies.
Both the Level Nine Black Dragon Bloodline and space fragments are resources Lin Suo desires.
It’s worth making the trip himself.
With the Chimera’s flight speed, the father and daughter duo quickly arrived near the Rotten Nest.
The great evacuation was imminent.
The Black Dragons poured out of their nest, collecting the last of the resources as best as they could.
The number of Black Dragons in the old lair was not many, but all of high quality.
Upper Grade Giant Dragons were everywhere.
"Thea, stay with the Beast King, hold on to the Wizard Tower, and if you encounter danger, hide inside it."
The little daughter is very excited, and whether it’s her innate love of violence or not, she enjoys watching Lin Suo fight.
This is her first time seeing a dragon hunting expedition.
Her excitement is understandable.
"Beast King, take good care of her."
"Roar! (Don’t worry, Master.)"
Lin Suo has done this kind of thing before, there’s nothing to worry about; the defenses of Wizard Tower 2.0 are already freakishly strong.
His target this time is the Upper Grade Level Nine Giant Dragon.
The pressure is immense.
Lin Suo takes a deep breath, first moving away from Thea’s position, then manipulating the Evolution Core to simulate a sniper setup, and aims his rifle!
With a powerful sniper rifle in hand.
His confidence soared to new heights.
"Let’s try Plan A first!"
He pulled the bolt and loaded a forearm-sized Four Elements Bullet. Wisps of Dark Star Power mixed within.
The elements began to fissure.
The scope mounted on the high-caliber rifle was also a carefully concocted product by Lin Suo, vastly different from what it was two years ago.
Not only could it magnify extreme distances, but it could also hide his killing intent.
Facing fatal or potentially devastating attacks.
Many creatures have evolved an instinctual body sense.
That is, the location of the impending strike would experience a strong premonitory pain, serving as a warning to the self.
Lin Suo believed this was due to the attacker not being sufficiently concealed.
Hence, the scope capable of hiding killing intent was born, and whether its effectiveness could deceive a Level Nine Giant Dragon had yet to be tested.
If not, he had Plan B.
As a Wizard, being cautious and having multiple plans was just a basic quality.
In the future, he would slowly teach all his secret techniques to Thea.
He activated the points function of the All-Purpose Ball.
In the Rotten Nest, a large number of rotten logs floated up and down.
Black Dragons, fond of decay and sourness, resided beneath the swamps year-round. They had the habit of burying their prey’s bodies, allowing them to rot and breed maggots, and then consuming them.
Through the scope, he could easily see several Black Dragons churning the marshes next to their lairs.
The corpses of demon creatures, or Elves, floated among them.
If the state of decay was insufficient.
Another spray of Corrosive Dragon Breath would be added to expedite the fermentation speed of the food.
Lin Suo glanced once and continued his search.
"Level nine... Level nine..."
His eyes gleamed as his index finger rested on the trigger.
A gigantic Black Dragon, ninety meters in length with a wingspan of one hundred and eighty meters, was circling high in the sky.
It was the only Level Nine Black Dragon remaining in the Rotten Nest.
Giant Dragons were not herd creatures.
Especially for the Five-Colored Evil Dragons, the young were only cared for until adolescence before they left.
However, Padolon had its own dragon affairs.
The environment did not permit them to live alone.
It should be known that Lin Suo’s current actions were imitating the classic behavior of a legendary Dragon Hunter Wizard from five thousand years ago.
Every part of a Giant Dragon was a treasure.
Tales of dragon-slaying heroes were widely told even in this age.
Lin Suo had uncovered the secret of the Original Oath’s failure.
To do nothing would be a waste of this heaven-sent opportunity.
The bored Black Dragon Gersh was circling overhead, annoyed. It was troubled because the Ancient Dragons in the Dragon Nest sensed Padolon’s imminent destruction; some were responsible for contacting other Five-Colored Dragon Nests.
Implementing the Dragon Clan’s grand evacuation plan.
Another group of very old dragons went on their final plundering missions, repressed for so many years; this generation of dragons truly suffered.
Now they found themselves in an unspoken era of amassing fortune.
The chance for dragons to strike it rich had arrived!
But they couldn’t just leave without guarding the nest, so after an internal duel, the weakest Gersh was left behind.
With the shamelessness of an Evil Dragon, once out, they would not return from their raid until the very end.
And it turned out just as he thought.
Over three years and not a single dragon had returned.
He decided to wait another year; if they still hadn’t come back to take over as agreed, he would abandon the nest too.
"Hmm! I won’t care anymore..."
As Gersh was fantasizing about his perfect dragon life.
Silent killing intent descended!
A four-colored bullet spiraled with acceleration, heading straight for his neck with no sound at all.
An intense premonition of death made its scalp tingle.
Dragon Wings twisted, generating a strong gale that allowed the colossal dragon body to turn to the side.
"Ah! The pain! It hurts so much! The pain! It hurts so much!"
