The Strongest Dragon in the Era of Beast Taming

“What’s wrong, is the mission difficult?”

Sylvia Creek, who had an active personality, unconsciously peeked at David

Jones’ face while looking at the mission. Her mouth slightly opened, and her eyes widened suddenly.

Seeing this, the other team members also looked curiously at their captain’s document.

■■I have bad news for everyone. Our squad’s mission target is a Class V Commander Beast!” David Jones said helplessly.

What’s going on with the instructor?

This mission clearly targeted their squad leader, without considering the experience of the other team members!

At these words, Margaret Yule and Sylvia Creek’s faces darkened.

With David Jones as the team leader, they weren’t afraid of the task. However, they were more worried about their Pets’ inability to contain the Class V Beast, thus becoming the weak point in the team.

At that moment, the other squads also learned about their mission targets. Unlike David Jones’ squad, the mission targets of the other Train squads were at most Class IV Elite Beasts. Even Farmstead Sinclair’s squad only had the upper-level Double-wing Flying Tiger as their target.

“You relied on his strength, and nowyou’re in trouble!” Several freshmen who delighted in the misfortune of others looked at David Jones’ team members with pity.

“Alright, see that towering mountain range in the distance? That’s the

Mountain Everlasting, where your mission will take place.”

Instructor Law Webster glanced at the freshmen who delighted in the misfortune of others and reminded them.

“There are many Beast groups lurking and nesting in the Mountain Everlasting. Remember, once you enter, you may encounter more powerful and formidable Beasts than your mission target at any time. So, it’s best to maintain awe and vigilance at all times,” he added.

At this point, Instructor Webster paused for a moment.

“The difficulty level of the mission represents the Legion’s overall assessment of your squad. If you are confident enough, you can directly hunt higher-level Beasts than your mission target in the Mountain Everlasting. Of course, the premise is that you won’t cause casualties in your squad.”

“Lastly, the Beasts you hunt will be received by the responsible instructors and can be directly converted into Rosewood College credits. The higher the strength level of the Beasts, the more credits you can get!” At that moment, hearing that they could earn credits, the freshmen’s eyes lit

up.

“It’s 8 a.m. by Peony time. The mission will end promptly at 5 p m. You have nine hours left to complete the task.” Law Webster smiled as he looked at his watch.

Mountain Everlasting is located in the southern part of Everlasting Island, with an altitude of over 13,650 meters. The entire mountain is pyramid-shaped, with particularly steep terrain inside. Rare Beasts that ordinary Trainers rarely encounter dwell inside.

It is said that Homed Dragons lurk deep inside the Mountain Everlasting, and even many Trainers within the Beast Legion come to this mountain range to find or contract some rare Beasts.

At this moment, David Jones’ squad was walking around the outskirts of

Mountain Everlasting.

“Law!”

In the sky above, a Frost Falcon was carefully surveying the surroundings. ■’There are three Stone Wolves wandering about 500 meters ahead. Their strength is around Class III middle-level,” Margaret Yule informed.

“Understood.” David Jones patted Rainbow’s head.

Before the Frost Falcon had discovered the lurking Beasts, Rainbow had already sensed the three sneaky Stone Wolves through Psychic Power. However, to boost Margaret’s confidence, David Jones chose to conceal this fact.

“Class III Stone Wolves are good training targets. Do any of you want to take on the challenge to strengthen your Pets’ combat abilities?” David Jones asked as he pointed towards the sturdy stone wolves.

“Let me and Cecily give it a try,” Yann York volunteered.

As the strongest member of the squad besides the captain, Yann could easily deal with the fish-like Stone Wolves with Cecily’s cooperation. Their admired team leader wouldn’t even need to take action.

“Leave it to you, then!” David Jones gave a slight smile.

“Boom!”

With two explosions, the three Stone Wolves that hid like roadside stubborn stones and planned to ambush David Jones’ squad collapsed to the ground under the continuous attacks of the Iron-Spring Python and Holy Stardust. Their whole bodies, covered with rigid rock, became pitted and rugged.

-Well done.” Seeing the excellent cooperation between Yann York and Cecily, David Jones praised.

A Class III lower-level Iron-Spring Python and a Class II upper-level Holy Stardust teamed up, easily defeating three middle-level Class III Stone Wolves in just a few seconds.

Yann York and Cecily, as freshmen at Rosewood College, handled commanding Pet-level battles as easily as drinking water.

“Not at all, I’m far behind you!”

Feeling flattered by the captain’s praise, Yann forced a restrained smile. Perhaps it was David Jones’ approval that made Yann particularly proud.

Afterward, all the Beasts encountered by David Jones’ squad were dealt with by the highly motivated Yann. Even Sylvia Creek and Violet Cooper on the side didn’t even have a chance to intervene.

“I’m not complaining, but you’re working too hard. Can you leave a few Beasts for my Illuminating Thunder Tiger to shock?”

Sylvia Creek looked at Yann, who was slightly panting and had already consumed half of his Arcane Force, and spoke.

“Sorry I’ll leave more for you next time,” Yann said, swallowing an elixir to restore his Arcane Force and physical strength, his face showing an apologetic smile.

“Everyone, be quiet. There’s a big guy up ahead.” Suddenly, David Jones lowered his voice.

Hearing this, the team members looked at each other, their faces becoming serious.

If their captain was to be so cautious, the unknown Beast appearing in front of them was at least a Class IV upper-level, or even more likely, a Class V Commander.

Margaret Yule even looked up at the Frost Falcon in the sky.

“Little Blue, did you slack off and not even notice the hidden Beast in front?”

Frost Falcon:”???”

It hastily used its Sharp Eye skill to scan the direction of David Jones’ squad’s advance again.

“Law!” ( • ‘ w’ • ) (There are no Beasts ahead!)

Hearing the words conveyed by Blue’s thoughts, Margaret shook her head. “It seems that Little Blue’s scouting ability still needs improvement!’ Margaret didn’t continue to blame the Frost Falcon. Instead, she looked curiously at Rainbow, who was wrapped around David Jones’ wrist. If she wasn’t mistaken, Rainbow must have used Psychic skills to detect the unknown Beast.

„Yi!” _ (- – ’ ~) (It’s another Dryad!)

After that, Rainbow informed David Jones of the Beast’s appearance she had perceived.

“Its head is intertwined green vines, and its body has two dark blue plant roots on the left and right sides, similar to human arms. The trunk rooted deep into the ground is three green crystals. This is none other than the Class V Commander Beast, the Azure Dryad,” David Jones’ eyes lit up.

He didn’t expect his squad to encounter the target of this trial mission just after entering the outskirts of the Mountain Everlasting for a short time! Could this be the so-called fate?
