Kill the Young Dragon

After running all day, Fran and Anna found a place far from any human habitation.

"Go outside and set up some traps. I need to start contacting the Northern Lands Society."

Fran found an excuse to send Anna away, and Anna, being quite sensible, knew that this matter of contacting the Northern Lands Society might involve some secrets, so she didn't say anything more.

Anna walked straight outside without looking back.

Fran waited a moment, otherwise Anna might see her handling the box.

Although Anna's fighting ability is such that there's nothing that can be done to her, it's ultimately up to her to decide how to handle the box.

But it would be a bit awkward if Anna actually saw it.

Fran used her Telekinetic Hand to lift the azure box into the air.

Now that they know there's most likely a live young dragon inside, Fran's best option is to kill it and acquire the Talent.

A young dragon that will eventually become a third-tier dragon is actually of little use to Fran.

Even if such a dragon reaches adulthood, it will probably only be around the second rank. To truly reach the third rank, it would take at least a hundred years.

By then, Fran will either have reached Fourth Order or be invincible at Tier 3. What use will she have for this young dragon?

Furthermore, although Fran was able to openly raise the dragon after returning to the Northern Lands Society through her connection with Iris.

But to be honest, simply being able to legally raise this dragon isn't enough.

As a Dragonkin could potentially reach the third tier in the future, and even be a creature that plays a significant role in the Ocean environment, it would be an invaluable strategic resource for the vast majority of factions.

Some factions are willing to pay a large sum of money to have someone fearless steal this young dragon.

Fran didn't have the time or inclination to guard against the inevitable theft that others would commit.

It would be quite embarrassing if she were to accidentally let the dragon be stolen.

Firstly, while Iris would help her, it was mostly limited to a certain extent; at most, she would send some Battle Mage to search for her.

Just like the Lord of White Dragon Port whose things were stolen, once the young dragon was stolen to a place you don't even know how far away, you can only helplessly watch it drift further and further away from you due to various factors.

Therefore, the easiest and most efficient method for Fran is to immediately kill the young dragon and seize its Talent.

Then whoever wants the box can take it. If the Northern Lands Society offers any rewards, she can try her best to bring the box back.

Fran used Fireball, releasing it onto the bottom of the box.

The fireball baked the deep blue box, making its colors appear more vibrant.

Fran's Fireball had the properties of Dragon Flame, which is why the box heated up exceptionally quickly.

Fran's actions seemed to have provoked the young dragon inside, and the entire box suddenly made a 'thud' and shook in one direction.

Fran paid no attention and continued to increase the amount of Mental Power she poured into the fire, making the flames heat up faster at the bottom of the box.

At this moment, the young dragon realized its predicament, so it struggled desperately.

The box wobbled and swayed as it struggled, like a constantly shaking ball.

But soon, the young dragon realized that physical methods were completely useless in its current situation.

So it used a spell-like ability from its bloodline, and a mist of water appeared on the surface of the box.

At the same time, an electric arc appeared on the surface of the box, but it was absorbed by the box, just enough to give a normal person a shock if they touched it.

This is a specially made box used to capture these young dragons, specifically designed to limit the abilities of the Deep Sea Golden Dragon.

To be fair, this is indeed a dragon species that could potentially reach the third tier in the future. The increasing amount of Water Element gathered around it slightly curbed the rise in temperature.

Fran, with her elemental vision as a mage, could clearly sense that the surrounding Water Element were abnormally gathering together, forming an extremely high density.

If Fran's current Wind Element affinity is level four, then the quality of the Water Element in front of Fran must be at least level six Water Element affinity.

This made Fran sigh, "Humans are truly infuriating compared to dragons. When she first came into this world, she didn't have any elemental affinity, but this young dragon was born with it."

If she had this level of elemental affinity back in the City of Apprentices, she could have been invincible among Order with just one Water Ball spell.

A higher level of elemental affinity results in higher elemental quality. Under the same casting conditions, the elemental quality of the surrounding environment is almost the biggest factor affecting the power of a spell.

Despite the young dragon's best efforts and the large amount of Water Element it gathered, it was all in vain.

Fran's goal was to transfer heat to the box. Once the temperature inside the box reached a certain level, the young dragon would burst into flames, while the box itself would remain unaffected.

In this way, she can eliminate the young dragon without opening the box, and at the moment it ignites, the Dragon Flame will let the young dragon know that the Dragon Flame has evolved to this point and also has the need to burn dragons.

The Water Element in the surrounding area increased, but the heat never dissipated, and the ground of the box turned almost Dark Red.

Fran could feel the exaggerated concentration of water vapor around her. She shook her head and felt her hair become heavier, and a thin film of water appeared on her arms.

But the young dragon's efforts were all in vain; it only knew how to summon water vapor and use water to slow down her heating process.

If this baby dragon were a bit smarter, it would have used a special method to cool its box, and Fran might have had to spend half an hour trying to defeat it.

However, it was obvious that this young dragon did not know these things. When the ground of the box turned bright red, Fran could hear a faint mournful cry coming from inside the box.

Ultimately, Fran's [Dragon Bone Embodiment] Talent detected that Fran had killed a new Dragonkin, and she could choose one of the dragon's abilities.

At the same time, a strange fluctuation emanated from Fran's body; it was her protective spell [Hardened Scale Rock] taking effect.

A familiar shriek reached her ears— the Undead Shriek. It seemed this young dragon indeed possessed undead abilities.

However, this young dragon's necromantic abilities do not seem to originate from Dragonkin; Fran did not discover any necromantic-related abilities among the available abilities.

She manipulated her Telekinetic Hand to place the box down, and the entire box began to cool down, especially rapidly in the cold of the Northern Territory.

In the end, apart from some charred marks on the bottom, the box looked no different from before.
