�Wait for now.�

Hong�s ears fell.

��But I want to get even stronger.�

�Why?�

Hong peeked toward the Black Dragon and his sister, On. A large hand patted Hong�s head at that moment.

�Don�t think about useless things and take it slow. You�re already stronger than I am.�

�But everyone is stronger than you are.�

Cale lightly patted Hong�s head and told Hong to go over there and eat some other poisons.

Cale thought about how he would make On and Hong stronger in the future before turning away. However, that made him immediately start to frown.

�What�s wrong with him?�

The Black Dragon seemed to be acting odd, as he continuously tilted his head to the left and right.

At that moment, Paseton approached.

�There are no signs of digging up any of the nearby plants recently. However, there are many signs that they are doing something to the swamp itself. Based on the marks, I would say they were here between two weeks to a month ago.�

Cale looked toward the wide swamp and responded.

�It looks like they gathered up some of the swamp.�

�That does seem to be the case.�

Cale was about to speak after seeing Paseton and Witira looking serious. However, the Black Dragon approached at that time and Cale started to frown.

�Why did you take the mask off?�

�It was not a familiar scent, but a familiar scent of mana.�

�What?�

Cale started to get the chills. The Black Dragon pointed to the swamp with his short front paw.

�There is a familiar scent of mana here.�

Cale started to frown even more. The Black Dragon confidently added on.

�There is the scent of dragon mana in the swamp.� JrNovels.com
