After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Lin Da used the old method to confirm that there were no Magical Creatures nearby before he climbed out carrying Tasya.

He took a thermos from the Space Ring and collected beside the bloodstain.

The method to determine if it was Dragon Blood was simple, jab it with a stick.

Dragon Blood belonged to the Fire Series, fierce and intense, the giant dragon's body could remain undecayed and not turn to ash even thousands of years after death.

The instant the twig touched the Dragon Blood, it ignited!

"No, no."

"No."

"Still not."

"It's all the blood of adventurers!"

Lin Da investigated several spots in succession, all in vain!

His high spirits plummeted.

Glancing at the pained expression on Tasya's face on his back, Lin Da's fists clenched involuntarily.

Just at that moment.

A withered leaf, driven by the wind, fell into a hollow.

Shhh.

The leaf ignited, a spark of fire flickered in the darkness.

Lin Da's eyes lit up.

Carrying Tasya, he quickly walked to the edge of the hollow.

At its deepest part, there was a fist-sized patch of deep red bloodstain.

Lin Da, together with the soil, scooped it into the thermos, then filtered it using Magic Power...

These methods were all learned in the library.

It was Lin Da's first time doing this, yet he was surprisingly adept.

After filtering, the liquid remaining in the thermos was a shallow layer, estimated to be 10 milliliters.

Creating the "Dragon Blood Antidote" required 100 milliliters.

He was still far from the target.

"But these should help alleviate the situation a bit, at least buy us a few hours."

Lin Da administered the simplified version of the Dragon Blood Antidote to Tasya.

Gulp.

Tasya's throat moved as she swallowed the medicine.

Dragon Blood, being of the pure Fire Series, scorched Tasya causing her to cough as soon as it entered her stomach.

Her icy body gained a hint of warmth.

Previously losing 100 health points every so often, she now lost only 85.

Lin Da applied Healing Art to Tasya.

+2500.

"How is it, feeling any better?"

He asked softly.

Tasya still had her eyes closed, showing no signs of awakening.

Lin Da thought for a moment and took a blue scarf from the Space Ring.

It was the one that Tasya had dropped at the amusement park, intending to give to him.

Made from Fire Dragon Silk, it provided excellent warmth.

Like a "Boomerang" thrown out, the scarf returned to protect Tasya. A scarf made of Fire Dragon Silk, perfectly adapted to counter the poison of the Cold Poison Feathered Snake.

Lin Da wrapped Tasya's head securely, leaving only her eyes exposed.

"Recover quickly."

He prayed silently in his heart and grabbed Tasya's legs, pulling her up to prevent her from falling.

Before him lay the entrance to the Forest Dragon's old den.

Carved into giant rocks, the dungeon entrance stood seven meters high and more than ten meters wide.

The residual Dragon's majesty lingered in this place, and even without the Forest Dragon present, it exerted immense pressure as if it were the gaping maw of a giant beast.

Lin Da, not knowing when the Forest Dragon would return, could only explore as quickly as possible.

He turned on the glow stick and stepped boldly into the Forest Dragon's old den.

Walking down the spacious corridor into the interior, it appeared to be a labyrinthine palace of Magical Creatures.

There were Treasure Caves, Resting Dens, Recreation Dens, Storage Dens, Breeding Dens...walking in it, it was as if he had entered a world of stone.

"Let's check the Treasure Cave first."

Lin Da recalled the layout from the game and among several forks in front of him, he chose the one on the left.

Walking about ten meters forward, the floor was covered with a red carpet.

At the end of the carpet was a bowl-shaped depression.

Lin Da walked over, glanced at the contents of the pit, and his face involuntarily changed.

Though he knew he was at best sipping the broth, Lin Da still harbored a bit of luck in his heart that perhaps the Sunrise Level could not withstand the Forest Dragon and hastily grabbed some treasures before fleeing, leaving him half or even a vast majority...

The reality was, the pit contained only a few scattered Purple Gold Coins and a lot of ordinary Gold Coins.

Lin Da sighed, unable to dwell on his disappointment, he swept like a whirlwind, gathering everything into the Space Ring.

There were a total of 1054 Gold Coins, and seven Purple Gold Coins each the size of a hand and one centimeter thick.

Purple Gold Coins, a common expensive currency on the continent, were made by melting gold mixed with level 40 Magic Core Powder.

They contained a mini Array inside and in times of war, could directly activate the embedded Array to aid in meditation and restore Magic Power.

While serving as currency, they were also a kind of magic item.

The sale price of Purple Gold Coins was dear, one equating to ten thousand ordinary Gold Coins. At Moon Rank and above, the size of transactions often increased significantly and were usually settled using Purple Gold Coins.

"Seven coins, that's seventy thousand Gold, not too bad."

Having collected the coins, he did not even spare the red carpet, collecting some 'Dragon Ash' — just as humans wash off dead skin during a bath, giant dragons sometimes rub playfully. Rich in Magic Power, the material scraped off by dragons, called 'Dragon Ash', was a valuable material for Magic Circle crafting.

With the mindset of an old father bringing home specialties for Lia, Lin Da, the worker who entered the Forest Dragon's den, tried to bring back some fine items.

The treasure room was stripped clean, enough to make a scavenger cry.

Lin Da carried Tasya and explored other caves.

Perhaps some adventurers had recently entered and fought with the Forest Dragon, causing it to bleed.

From the Resting Den to the Recreation Den, everything was in ruins.

A violent battle had clearly erupted here.

Persistence paid off.

Dragon Blood was indeed collected by Lin Da.

But it really was just 'a bit.'

All told, it was less than three milliliters.

Lin Da scratched his head, his face clouded with worry.

It seemed he might have to resort to plan B and seek help from the Holy Rock Adventure Team?

"Let's check the Breeding Den and then figure out what to do."

He arrived at the last cave.

It contained a warm Dragon Nest woven from branches and dry leaves.
