The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

```

As a powerful Sky Knight, Li Si Te (Liszt) had a strong ability to adapt his body; just two days ago, he could only hold his breath for fifteen minutes, but now he was able to do so for twenty-five minutes.

In the process of searching for Magic Medicine Kelp, the surprises kept growing because the distribution of the Magic Medicine Kelp far exceeded his imagination.

At first, he thought it was just over a hundred acres affected by one Giant Algae Bug and over eight hundred acres affected by one Minor Elf, but now it had reached over a thousand acres, and he still hadn't seen the end of it.

"Based on the normal distribution of elf influences, a Greater Elf influences about 6,000 acres, a Minor Elf around 800 acres, and an Elf Bug around 100 acres, with the fluctuation in their influence not exceeding twenty percent. That is, the maximum range of influence for a Minor Elf wouldn't exceed 960 acres, and an Elf Bug wouldn't exceed 120 acres," he said.

960 acres plus 120 acres equaled 1,080 acres; this meant that under the current known elf influences, the area of Magic Medicine Kelp in the Giant Algae Forest would not exceed this number.

However, even after the area exceeded a thousand acres, Li Si Te (Liszt) had yet to explore the edge of the Magic Medicine Kelp.

"There are still elves!"

"There must be more elves, this is truly amazing, how many surprises will this Giant Algae Forest bring me!" murmured Li Si Te (Liszt), growing more and more excited as he patrolled underwater, monitoring the magic feedback light. He felt that this trip would really make him a fortune.

The azure sea that he had pinned so much hope on had not let him down; the wild magic medicines were growing in patches.

Just at that moment.

Ach suddenly took him to a giant algae, and then she pointed to the base of the giant algae, where, all of a sudden, a yellow-brown Giant Algae Bug was perching on the petiole at the root.

Another Elf Bug!

Li Si Te (Liszt) did not hesitate, he took out Jade Powder, sprinkled it in the water to lure the Giant Algae Bug, and then extended his finger for it to bite down on.

Mind connected, contract established.

The third Giant Algae Bug was secured!

The appearance of this Giant Algae Bug was an unexpected delight, but it did not disrupt Liszt's process of searching for the Giant Algae Minor Elf. He continued to search for the Giant Algae Magic Potion with Ach's help, continuously discerning where there might be Giant Algae Cordyceps—Cordyceps mixed in with the Magic Medicine Kelp were hard to find, given they all emitted a magic feedback light.

Eventually.

It was still thanks to Ach's keen observation.

She patted Li Si Te (Liszt)'s shoulder and then pointed towards a cluster of Giant Algae in front of them. Following the direction of her finger, Liszt could vaguely see a light point that was different from the others. He dispersed his Eye of Magic to observe with his naked eye and found the light point was behind the frond of a Giant Algae.

Although it wasn't clear, that shape was definitely a Minor Elf without a doubt.

Li Si Te (Liszt) quickly gestured for Ach to swim with him towards the Minor Elf, but as soon as they approached, the nimble Minor Elf fled and left the Giant Algae.

The wild Minor Elves were highly vigilant, unlike the Mangrove Minor Elf Nami who was a wild Minor Elf and, upon seeing Ach, would be unable to move and willingly offered a contract. This Giant Algae Minor Elf was different; it had no intention of approaching Ach and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Let's go up," Liszt gestured to Ach to surface.

They took a breath, revitalizing themselves.

He said, "Later, you'll take me to that Giant Algae again. I have observed it; it is definitely the Cordyceps of the Giant Algae Minor Elf. The base is very thick, not much smaller than a water bucket, and although it winds and twists below the surface, its length definitely exceeds sixty or seventy meters."

"Brother, but the Giant Algae Minor Elf will run away," Ach said.

"I will use Jade Powder to lure it and see if it can be attracted, then I'll attempt to initiate the contract. If that doesn't work, I'll need you to control the water flow to bind the Giant Algae Minor Elf so I can then contract with it," he explained.

"Mhm," Ach nodded.

Although she was kind and innocent, she did not have the mindset of 'Minor Elves are so cute; how can we harm them?' In fact, the law of the survival of the fittest had often been a part of her upbringing—being hunted by Sea Monsters wasn't an exception; she often faced them when she was a child.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

```

So to Liszt, the means of dealing with the elf were quite normal, and the act of killing sea monsters was taken for granted.

She probably wouldn't oppose even if Liszt asked her to kill someone, for her sense of right and wrong differed considerably from that of humans—not to mention, being around Liszt all the time, one couldn't help but be affected by his influence... ahem, to be tinged with the same hue.

A moment later.

Liszt had fully recovered and returned to the root of the giant algae cordyceps, taking out a powder ground from jade and sprinkling a large patch of it. Jade powder would float with the currents and settle to the bottom in the seawater, but due to density, quite a bit would still adhere to the cordyceps.

No one knows how the jade powder tempts the elf, but the elf certainly loves jade.

As expected.

Without waiting more than three minutes, Liszt noticed the giant algae minor elf cautiously coming back. It hid behind the giant algae's leaves, approaching stealthily, unaware that the magic radiance on its body had already given away its position. Liszt, without a change of expression, pointed out its location to Ach.

Ach nodded to signal she was ready to capture it.

Only then did Liszt relax and take out another handful of jade powder, tossing it towards the location of the giant algae minor elf, though the powder didn't spread far in the water.

Yet the "scent" it emitted successfully attracted the giant algae minor elf.

Two minutes later, it brazenly appeared in Liszt's line of sight, only to retreat and reappear twice or thrice before it started to approach Liszt, licking the jade powder sprinkled on the giant algae cordyceps. It occasionally turned its head to look at Liszt, opening its mouth to emit a vague sound.

The sound was akin to a "gurgle."

It was also amber-colored, crystal-clear like a gem, with a super-miniature piece of giant algae on its head. Its big eyes were very expressive, though its teeth inside the mouth were quite sharp, giving it a fierce edge amidst its beauty. It had no wings, but had structures like transparent fins on its ears, armpits, calves, and tailbone.

Clearly.

The structure of the minor elves in the sea was significantly different from those on land.

Liszt didn't disturb it, instead just watched it with interest as it licked the giant algae clean of jade powder. Only then did he take out another handful of jade powder and slowly extend his hand towards the giant algae minor elf.

If it were a human child, not even a kindergarten kid would fall for such crude enticement.

However, the other party was just a giant algae minor elf.

After coaxing its head for a dozen seconds and grinning broadly, it quickly swam over and started licking the jade powder by hugging Liszt's hand.

Liszt took the opportunity to quietly stand his middle finger up and slip it into its mouth.

It immediately responded with a bite.

It hurt.

It instantly drew blood from Liszt's finger, but the contract was also completed in a flash. In the moment of heart-to-heart connection, Liszt could feel its wariness, nervousness, and a surge of aggressive emotion, which was quickly replaced by feelings of confusion and affection.

Probably the giant algae minor elf was bewildered—why does this annoying person feel so dear to me?

"Little guy, I've got you now," Liszt said, activating his dragon dou qi to stop the bleeding on his finger and cradling the giant algae minor elf in his palm.

He gestured to Ach to take them to the surface of the water.

The giant algae minor elf, now above water, seemed upset; it didn't like being away from the seawater.

"Gurgle!" The noise it made was clear, resembling a pigeon's call but even more crystalline. Clinging to Liszt's finger, it swayed its body back into the water, soaking in the sea, and then it cheered up, "Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!"
