From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

After the complete conquest of the Sea People Tribe, Krober knew that he could not stop and had to continue to advance the next plan.

After all, the rear base camp had been consolidated, and the only thing to do now was to continue to explore forward.

So, he and Marquis Daniel carefully planned to divide the soldiers under his command into teams of ten people, with the camp as the core, and spread out radially to the surrounding areas.

These teams shoulder important missions - exploring the environment, investigating resources, drawing maps, etc.

Each team is equipped with two to three tribesmen who are familiar with the terrain. With their unique skills and experience, they identify the terrain, determine the route, and assist the soldiers in drawing a detailed map of the Holy Beast Island.

At the same time, Krober personally led a team, led by Yan, to the location of the elves he accidentally discovered.

Marquis Daniel also went forward, relying on his rich life experience and the keen perception of the Sky Knight level, he was able to quickly capture the breath of the elves during the search.

However, it is regrettable that despite Krober and others' full efforts, no trace of the elves has been found so far.

Krober deduced that this might be because they were too close to the Sea People Tribe.

He thought that as long as they moved towards the center of the island, this situation would most likely improve.

Not long after walking, Marquis Daniel felt a weak wave of magic.

He signaled Krober to stop and focus his sight in the direction of the magic wave.

In the wild, magic waves not only represent elves, but also may represent magic beasts.

However, with the strength of Marquis Daniel's Sky Knight, nothing could threaten him unless it was a fantasy beast.

Krober also walked forward slowly and pushed aside the bushes that blocked his view.

What came into their sight was a small patchwork of cardamom growing areas.

Although the area was small, it was full of vitality.

The cardamom plants grew compactly together, and the green leaves below them swayed gently in the breeze, as if a group of happy elves were dancing.

The white flowers of cardamom were small and delicate, exuding a faint fragrance, like strings of pearls hanging on the branches.

(There are many kinds of cardamom. The author chose the white cardamom. The picture is placed in the author's words. Thanks to the reader Hanfenglengye for the creativity)

There is no artificial carving here, only the care of nature.

The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkles on the ground, forming patches of light, adding a bit of mystery to it.

In the center of the cardamom plant community, a cardamom that obviously looks bigger and taller than the surrounding ones attracted Krober's attention.

Generally speaking, this kind of excessive growth that is different from the same kind is likely to be caused by the elves being bred in it.

Before hatching, the elves can only help the plants that breed their own bodies.

Only after the evolution is successful, the original plant that breeds itself becomes Cordyceps, and the body moves freely in the way of elf insects.

The elves will expand the production speed and quantity of similar plants around them to seek a higher level of evolution.

And now this piece of wild cardamom seems to be about to give birth to a wild elf insect.

Everyone kept silent, not daring to disturb the birth of the elf worm. Although the success rate of the birth of the elf worm is very high, there are also examples of failure in history.

If it fails, the main plant will naturally not survive. If you are lucky, this piece of wild cardamom can continue to survive.

If you are unlucky, the wild cardamom group that concentrates all its energy on the elves will be eliminated by other plants or nature.

Thinking of this, Kroeber couldn't help but pursed his lips, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

In this vast world, not only is human society full of fierce competition, but even those seemingly weak plants are quietly fighting a life-and-death battle.

They compete for sunlight, water and nutrients in the soil. Each plant tries its best to grow in order to survive the cruel natural selection.

However, compared with competition in nature, competition between people is more complicated and cruel.

People compete for power, wealth, reputation and other interests, and scenes of intrigue and deception are common.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only with sufficient foundation and strength can one be invincible in the fierce competition.

Fortunately, with the passage of time, Krober has greatly improved his foundation and strength through continuous efforts and accumulation.

Today, he has gradually grown into a qualified chess player, able to gain a foothold on the huge chessboard called "world", and began to cleverly lay out and place pieces.

He knows that in order to achieve the final victory in this long chess game, he needs to pay more effort and wisdom.

But he also believes that as long as he perseveres, one day he will become an important figure in this world.

The original seed of "becoming stronger" has been planted in his heart, and under the watering of strength and foundation, a flower called "ambition" has grown.

I don't know if it sensed Krober's psychological changes, the flower that nurtured the cardamom fairy bug gradually began to swell.

The magic breath contained in it also gradually became thicker.

Not long after, a wave of life appeared in the thick magic breath.

This proves without a doubt that the cardamom elf worm has been successfully bred.

As the owner of the Holy Beast Island, all life born on this island belongs to Krober's property, so he naturally walked forward and carefully looked at his first naturally bred fairy worm.

(Naturally bred, not counting the one robbed from the pirates before.)

The newly born cardamom fairy worm is different from the black feather grass fairy worm of Krober. The bright white body is more in line with Krober's aesthetics.

The cardamom fairy worm is about 3-4 cm long and looks more like the "silkworm" in Krober's previous life, but it has no tentacles, no messy protrusions and organs.

The cardamom fairy worm is more like a silkworm in shape, but it is a perfect magic creation with a pure white body without a single flaw!

(I searched for pictures of silkworms on the Internet, it's so ugly... Fairy worms as magic creations can't be so ugly)

The overall thickness is about the thickness of Krober's index finger. Maybe because it has just been born and exhausted its physical strength, the cardamom fairy worm looks lazy.

Even when Clober came to him, he did not raise his head to look at him.

"By the way, do elf bugs have vision?"

After observing for a long time, Clober did not see where the eyes of the cardamom elf bug were.

Since the elf was found, the first thing to do is to make a contract.

Pierce the index finger, squeeze out a drop of blood, and put the index finger on the cardamom elf bug.

The moment the blood touches the cardamom elf bug, a blood-connected breath appears on both sides.

From then on, as long as Clober does not die unexpectedly or actively cancel the contract with the cardamom elf bug.

Then the cardamom elf bug will always be Clober's precious wealth.

As magical creatures, elves generally have a very long lifespan.

Except for the short lifespan of elf bugs, they can only live for 10-20 years.

But once the elf bug evolves into an elf, it will have a theoretical lifespan of 500 years, the same as the maximum lifespan of a human knight.

If the elf can also break through to a great elf, then its lifespan will directly soar to more than a thousand years, which is equivalent to the lifespan of a human fantasy beast knight.

Like the great elves of the Golden Rose Family, they are only over a hundred years old now, and have just lived through one tenth of their lives.

As for the existences above that, Krober is not clear.

At least, there are no existences above the great elf level in the Golden Grand Duchy. Perhaps there are in the Emerald Kingdom, but Krober is not qualified to know.

Holding the contracted cardamom elf in his hand, the warm touch almost conquered Krober's heart.

"It's really... a perfect creature!"

As a magical creature, the elf is theoretically at the same level as the dragon, but the elf will only have a stronger combat power at the great elf stage.

Only at the great elf stage will they be no different from ordinary people in appearance and have the power to use magic.

Turning the cardamom elf over, a purple silk-like pattern on its abdomen attracted Krober's attention.

"What is this?"

This question also attracted Marquis Daniel, who was watching the show on the side.

After seeing the purple pattern on the belly of the cardamom elf, Marquis Daniel frowned, as if thinking about something.

Suddenly, he widened his eyes and said in disbelief:

"Dragon blood plant?"
