Chapter 887 -888 Black Dragon Advancement_1

The Double-headed Poisonous Jiao was indeed an Elite Level BOSS, and its corpse was extremely valuable. Unfortunately, whether it was Dissection Technique or Gathering Skill, Song Jian’s level was too low to gather any materials from the BOSS carcass; otherwise, just the materials gathered from the BOSS carcass alone would be worth a fortune;

Just as Song Jian sighed, a plant emitting a purple-gold glow rapidly broke through the soil next to the Double-headed Poisonous Jiao’s corpse, just like the Heart Speech Grass before.

Soon the plant grew over one foot tall, looking almost identical to the Heart Speech Grass, only the color on its surface was an even more distinguished purple-gold;

At this time, the body of the Double-headed Poisonous Jiao BOSS began to rapidly shrink, as if all its flesh, blood, and bones were being absorbed by the purple-gold plant in front of it, quickly turning into a withered carcass that was incinerated into a pile of ash by transparent flames;

“Heart Speech Grass, this is also Heart Speech Grass…” Song Jian touched the plant and was momentarily speechless. The plant before him was also Heart Speech Grass, but both the name and the level were quite different from the common Heart Speech Grass;

Song Jian had already gathered thirty-one stalks of Heart Speech Grass. These plants that absorbed the BOSS’s flesh only existed for a quarter of an hour; once the time elapsed without being gathered, they would quickly wither. During his monster farming, Song Jian had seen countless Heart Speech Grass, but he could not possibly descend to gather them at the time, resulting in many Heart Speech Grass and other items dropped by the monsters being directly reclaimed by the system;

However, only ten stalks of Heart Speech Grass were needed to complete the quest, and Song Jian had already surpassed the requirement. He only knew that Heart Speech Grass was an ingredient for making petrification potions; beyond that, he was clueless, and keeping them was of no use;

Song Jian planned to sell all the extra Heart Speech Grass to the old dwarf to see if he could exchange them for other items;

As for the plant in front of him, Song Jian hesitated for a moment before beginning to gather it, just like the other Heart Speech Grass;

It should be known that with Song Jian’s level of the Medicine Gathering Skill, even gathering common Heart Speech Grass was somewhat difficult. These plants were of a high tier, and one needed to have at least a beginner level in the Medicine Gathering Skill to gather them, but the difficulty was much reduced for this quest given by the old dwarf;

The plant before him, named “King Heart Speech Grass,” was of an even higher tier. In normal times, Song Jian wouldn’t even dream of being able to gather it whole, but now was an opportunity;

“Even if it’s called the king, it should still belong to Heart Speech Grass!” Song Jian thought to himself as he began to slowly gather it;

Indeed, the speed at which he gathered this “King Grass” was only one-tenth the speed of gathering ordinary Heart Speech Grass, so slow that Song Jian thought he could not gather it, as the progress bar barely moved for a long time;

After nearly three minutes, Song Jian finally gathered the “King Heart Speech Grass” into his inventory.

Looking at it, the full inventory, indeed, this King Heart Speech Grass could not stack with the other common Heart Speech Grass and occupied an inventory slot all of its own.

Checking its attributes, there was nothing special, only a note that it was an alchemy ingredient that could increase the success rate of concoctions by 10% and the mutation rate by 5%. As for what potion it was an ingredient for, there was no mention in the description;

After picking up all the items, Song Jian’s gaze fell on the Dragon Head Strange Tree at the center of the Highly Poisonous Lake. Initially, the strange tree had produced three crimson fruits, of which the Double-headed Poisonous Jiao had eaten two, and there was still one bright red fruit left on the tree;

This Dragon Head Strange Tree looked very peculiar. The fruits it bore could incite a frenzy among all the creatures in the swamp, and with an Elite Level BOSS like the Double-headed Poisonous Jiao guarding it, it was definitely not ordinary;

Song Jian used Sword Flight Art and came to the strange tree, gathering the last fruit;

“Dragon Scale Fruit, a precious rarity, usage effect: can be used on creatures with the Dragon Clan lineage, has the effect of enhancing lineage rank and level, and has a certain chance of causing mutation; a creature can only consume three of these fruits in a century! For other creatures, use may also trigger random mutations!”

“It’s actually for combat pets!” Song Jian was somewhat disappointed, as a human he could naturally use the fruit too, but it could trigger mutations, and Song Jian did not want to become a two-headed monster;

For ordinary creatures, mutations always increase strength, but for Song Jian, such items were harmful rather than beneficial;

The Double-headed Poisonous Jiao probably became what it was now because it had consumed too many Dragon Scale Fruits, and other creatures likely harbored the idea of mutating to enhance themselves by acquiring Dragon Scale Fruits;

Glancing at the two pets slumbering in the Pet Space, Song Jian tried, and astonishingly, both battle pets could use it; it was within his expectations that the Black Dragon could use the Dragon Scale Fruit, but even an elemental creature like the stone golem Gulu could use the Dragon Scale Fruit, which surprised him;

After hesitating for a moment, Song Jian still decided to let the Black Dragon use the Dragon Scale Fruit, as the fruit gave greater enhancement to creatures with the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, and deep down, he even harbored a faint hope that the Black Dragon could mutate into a Double-headed Black Dragon;

Clutching the Dragon Scale Fruit, Song Jian sent the use command to the Black Dragon, who was sleeping soundly in the Pet Space, and the Dragon Scale Fruit vanished from his hand, reappearing within the Pet Space;

The slumbering Black Dragon seemed to smell something, its nostrils flaring continuously, and in a short while, it opened its golden vertical pupils, staring intently at the fist-sized Dragon Scale Fruit floating before it;

An excited dragon’s roar resounded in Song Jian’s mind, and as a master, he could also feel the Black Dragon’s joyful emotions.

The Black Dragon swallowed the Dragon Scale Fruit in one gulp without even chewing, much like Zhu Bajie devouring the ginseng fruit.

Before long, a crimson blood-qi surfaced on the Black Dragon’s body, looking like flames that enveloped the Black Dragon entirely;

Song Jian noticed that the Black Dragon’s body was swelling continuously, its already majestic and robust body was inching towards terrifying proportions;

The three-meter-tall stature had now exceeded five meters, its body length extended from six meters to over ten meters, and the palm-sized bluish-black scales had turned into the size of a football, becoming much thicker;

The horns on its head had grown another three inches, its teeth and claws had become even sharper, especially the pair of flesh wings on its back, which had extended to about five or six meters; at the tip of the wings, a bone claw as dark and metallic as the rest appeared, looking quite formidable;

Level 35, Level 36, Level 37,…

With its increasing size, the Black Dragon’s level also climbed steadily, rising straight from Level 35 to Level 45 before finally stopping, and all attributes began to skyrocket, far surpassing ordinary Elite Level BOSSes.

Finally, a golden light burst forth from the top of the Black Dragon’s head, turning into a scatter of fine light spots, advancing the Black Dragon’s rank directly to the Lord Level;

A Level 45 Lord Level BOSS!

Elated, Song Jian’s eyes revealed his pleasure, saying nothing else, just a battle pet like the one before him was enough for Song Jian to strut through the entire Doomsday City!

A high and clear dragon’s roar sounded off, and the Black Dragon seemed somewhat restless in the Pet Space, appearing a bit agitated, ceaselessly clawing at the surrounding space;

With a thought, Song Jian released the Black Dragon from the Pet Space, and immediately he was shrouded by a vast black shadow;
