"Still ten meters away."
"It's very close!"
A wave of shame rose in Kokonoro's heart. As the Black Dragon Clan's patriarch, a noble saint-ranked dragon expert, he actually wanted to eat something that other dragons had spat out. He had no choice but to sneak over.
He was truly too ashamed.
However, for the sake of God's domain, everything was worth it.
Kokonoro comforted himself in his heart.
Five meters.
Right before his eyes.
He could eat it with just one mouth.
Kokonoro's eyes shone with joy. Just as he was about to obtain the dragonspine vine...
A pair of feet slowly descended from the sky and floated in front of him.
When he raised his head, it was Joelson's face that was filled with ridicule.
Kokonoro was so ashamed that he wished he could just die.
Joelson casually waved his hand, and the dragonspine vine fell into his hand.
"You want to eat?"
Kokonoro's expression was serious. He sneered disdainfully and said, "I, the king of the Black Dragons, Kokonoro, ah!"
Before Kokonoro could finish speaking, Joelson had already stomped on his nose fiercely.
The pain made Kokonoro's tears flow.
"Speak properly."
Joelson glanced at him.
Humiliation, embarrassment, resentment, all sorts of emotions filled his heart.
As the leader of the Black Dragon tribe, he had never suffered such humiliation.
But in the end, all of it turned into a deep sense of powerlessness.
His heart was filled with sorrow, and he had to face reality.
What could he do?
Right now, he was just a trapped beast in a cage.
Kokonoro lowered his noble head and said in a low voice, "I am here. I am willing to sign a contract with you. You will receive the protection of the Black Dragon tribe."
This was the biggest concession Kokonoro could make.
But Joelson shook his head directly.
"Sorry, your current strength and talent are too poor."
Kokonoro felt ashamed and angry, but he couldn't refute Joelson's words.
Joelson was right. In terms of talent, he ranked last among all the dragons in the entire space of the ranch.
In terms of strength, not to mention that terrifying dark magic dragon that was sleeping, even that fire element dragon could crush it.
It really didn't have the right to be arrogant.
"Then what do you want?" Kokonoro said angrily.
Joelson snorted and said, "Let's see how valuable you are. If it can't surpass the materials you have on you."
Joelson's gaze swept over Kokonoro like he was looking at a chicken, causing it to tremble.
"Then I'd rather kill you."
Kokonoro trembled violently. He could tell from Joelson's cold gaze that this human was not joking.
If it were an ordinary mage knight, they would definitely be overjoyed to receive the favor of the Black Dragon King. They would definitely be willing to sign a master-servant contract with the Black Dragon King.
After all, the long lifespan of the dragon race was enough to make countless people envious.
But Joelson did not care.
He had many dragons.
Every one of them was a top-notch genius.
How many times did Kokonoro think jealously, could this guy be the illegitimate child of the Dragon God?!
With a small world fragment and so many dragons, just the lifespan shared by the dragons was enough for him to have a long lifespan comparable to that of a god.
Kokonoro was crazily thinking. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
"I know a secret skill that will definitely be of great help to you!"
Joelson narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me."
"Dragon blood secret technique!" Kokonoro said slowly! "It can give you a body as strong as a giant dragon and terrifying strength. The saint-level dragon blood clan relied on this secret technique to rise rapidly. For this, they paid a huge price to sign a contract with us, the Dragon Clan, and became the guardian of the Dragon Clan."
"Dragon blood secret technique?!" Joelson muttered in a low voice. For some reason, the first thing that flashed through his mind was the dragon blood potion that he had made and consumed.
"Dragon blood secret technique is a special modification. It uses dragon blood to modify oneself and cultivate unique dragon qi. Those with outstanding talent can even transform into a half-dragon-half-human dragon blood warrior with dragon power and dragon scales. Whether it's strength, recovery, defense, or combat aura strength, they are far more than half of the knights."
"A few hundred years ago, there was a genius of the dragon blood clan who defeated a peak-stage saint-level powerhouse with the strength of a mid-stage saint-level. You can imagine how terrifying his strength was, and all of this."
A faint look of arrogance appeared on Kokonoro's face.
"It was all brought to them by our Dragon Clan!"
Hearing this, Joelson was a little moved.
Ever since a mage advanced to the saint level, he had never paid attention to the path of the knight.
In fact, a powerful body could bring about a significant and comprehensive increase in Joelson's strength.
Joelson did not forget that when he was undergoing the trial in the land of heritage, the barbarian genius, Nahum.
He did not cultivate combat aura or magic. He only cultivated his physical strength.
He could fight against a general-level monster!
It was an unimaginable terror.
When he reached the level of Nahum, his physical strength would even surpass that of a dragon.
He could be said to be a humanoid monster.
If he could possess the pure physical strength of Nahum, coupled with the sharpness of platinum power and the meteor longsword in his hand, even a god-domain expert might not be unable to fight him, right?
Joelson's expression was calm, but his heart was burning with passion.
Seeing that Joelson was moved, Kokonoro hurriedly said, "I can give you the secret technique, but you must sign it with me."
Kokonoro seemed to be very reluctant as he said, "An equal contract."
"Impossible!"
Joelson decisively refused.
Although Joelson would not enslave the dragons like Du Lu, they still regarded Joelson as their master.
Subconsciously, Du Lu and the other dragons had never had any intention of resisting Joelson.
However, after signing an equal contract with Kokonoro, the latter could choose to reject some of Joelson's demands, and Joelson could not force it.
Because the fates of both sides were interconnected.
"Then I'd rather choose death!" Kokonoro gritted his teeth and said.
This was his last bit of pride as the Black Dragon King.
Joelson thought for a while and chose a compromise.
"We can sign an equal contract."
Kokonoro was pleasantly surprised, but he heard Joelson continue.
"But not with me, but with her."
Joelson pointed at Connie who was holding a brush in the distance, trying to wash the dragon scales for lightning and said lightly.
"Her?!"
Kokonoro was stunned.
He looked conflicted and hesitant. All kinds of complicated emotions flashed through his mind, but in the end, he chose to compromise.
"Okay."
Hearing the answer, Joelson nodded slightly and asked Connie to come over.
Connie carefully walked in front of Joelson, rolled up her sleeves, and her hands were full of water stains.
If her face was not beautiful, then she was no different from a laundress.
Kokonoro's face was filled with disgust and disappointment, but he had no choice but to sign a contract with Connie.
Even an ordinary person who shared the Black Dragon King's powerful talent would be able to make a difference.
