�You are very smart.�

�Correct. I am smart.�

The rest of the group became even more curious after seeing the Black Dragon and Cale smirking mischievously.

�Young master Cale, can you tell me what is going on? What do you mean by the scent of a dragon�s mana?�

Cale turned around to look at Witira. She was asking Cale, but seemed to have at least a decent idea of what was going on.

�I�m sure you already have an idea, but there is a good chance that there is a dragon corpse inside the swamp.�

��A corpse?�

�Yes. But it is most likely very old and probably mummified.�

Cale only knew about the Forest of Darkness based on Choi Han�s experience as described in the novel. However, there was a number of very important information told by the novel.

< The lifeforms in the Forest of Darkness have had to always fight for survival because there has never been any single dominant ruler. >

No ruler.

It was probably correct to say that there were no dragons in the Forest of Darkness while Choi Han was there. Furthermore, people in the novel never mentioned a Dragon�s Lair or a dragon in the Forest of Darkness.

�It must mean that it is a very old corpse.�

Tap. Tap.

Cale lowered his head to see Hong point to the swamp with a bitter expression.

�I guess I can�t eat the swamp water?�

Hong seemed to have lost his appetite after hearing dragon corpse. Cale could see that Hong was heading over to the Black Dragon to apologize without waiting to hear his answer.

�Sorry. I thought it would be delicious.�

�I do not care.�

The Black Dragon responded back with a curious expression.

�The thing inside the swamp and I are different. We are not related.�

Dragons really didn�t seem to care about their, �tribe.� They all just considered themselves to be individuals unique from anything and everything else in the world. Cale looked at the completely unperturbed Black Dragon before he started to speak.

�I thought that the mermaids would have gotten stronger from the poison in the swamp. Their specialties are poison after all.�
