The dragon's blood slowly flowed from the wound, and it was collected along the alchemy circle to an unknown place.

Although the Monster Hunter 'Auston' had told the rock giant 'Ruboric' to be careful, the latter's hands were inevitably stained with some cold blood, covering his sword-wielding palms with frost.

Luckily, the little mage Krees had already applied a layer of 'protective energy damage' to the rock giant in advance, so the frost of the dragon's blood didn't cause him much damage.

The silent Ruboric clenched his palms into fists, shattering the frost attached to them, and then withdrew from the circle like everyone else, waiting for the dragon's blood to be collected before proceeding with the next steps.

The tall rock giant could understand the lingua franca, but he couldn't. Only the young mage Krees could communicate with him in the language of giants, but other than that, he simply nodded or shook his head in response to the words of others, and more often than not, he was silent.

Ruborik has gray skin, a withered countenance, and a serious expression. While he waited to collect the dragon's blood, he sat on the ground, patiently carving a rock in front of him with his weapon.

He carves with a very focused expression, as if he were an artist who has devoted all his energy to his work. In fact, it is not wrong to remove the word 'like', because most of the rock giants are good at the art of 'stone carving', and their carved stone statues are often inferior to the master sculptors among the dwarves, so it is not too much to call them artists.

It didn't take long for a lifelike stone dragon to appear in front of everyone. Lubolick pointed to the stone dragon in front of him who was basically finished and said something to the little mage, and the latter listened and looked at Barrett in a daze.

"Ruboric wants to ask you for a little dragon blood, a little is enough. The little mage said to the barbarian with a smile.

"No problem. The barbarian generously agreed, "He can take as much as he wants." ”

The rock giant nodded to Barrett, got up and grabbed the stone dragon on the ground, and strode over to the dragon's corpse. He brought the stone dragon in his hand to the dragon's throat, dipped it in a little dragon blood, and placed the statue on another large rock not far away.

The stone statue was transformed into a dragon statue that was half stone and half ice. The part of the stone was as dark as the original, while the frosty part shimmered in the sunlight.

Was he commemorating the dragon, or was it just an itchy hand? Barrett had heard that the giants, like the dragons, were older than legends, and that the two sides had a feud from time immemorial to the present day. According to the way humanity is divided, both sides are extremely active in the 'Second Age' and have reached the peak of their race at the same time.

In ancient times, the land of the main physical world was filled with towering giants, and the sky was obscured by soaring dragons. The inevitable outbreak of a brutal war between the two powerful species that lasted for countless centuries saw both sides suffer heavy losses and even fade into the multiverse arena.

But the battle continues to this day. If the giants and dragons meet each other, they will still fight for no reason. However, the living giant in front of him met the dead dragon, and it was a different story.

"Dragon's blood is just as terrible as dragon's breath, so it's best not to let it get on you. Except, of course, stone statues. Auston the Monster Hunter looked at the dragon statue on the rock and said, "I was accidentally splashed by the poisonous blood of the green dragon when I killed the green dragon before, but fortunately I prepared enough powerful antidote in advance, otherwise the dead green dragon would have succeeded in revenge." ”

"And after that?" Barrett leaned over and asked purposefully, "Has anything changed in your body since being splashed with dragon blood?"

"I didn't feel any changes other than poisoning, and it was the same after that. Auston shook his head, "It's all thanks to those bottles of antidotes, they helped me deal with some of the after-effects of being stained with dragon blood." ”

"Has anyone become stronger after being stained with dragon blood?" Barrett asked curiously.

"It's a bit of a record, but it's a very small number of dragon slayers, and it's only a small improvement in terms of body. But many more died directly under the effect of dragon blood. We don't have to try with our lives unless we have to. To ordinary people, dragon's blood is no different from lava, acid, poison and other things, and they are quite deadly. ”

"Maybe those people aren't ......," the little mage said halfway through and stopped suddenly.

"Isn't it?" Auston looked at Krees, confused.

"Nothing. The little mage waved his hand, "The collection of dragon blood is basically complete, let's continue." ”

......

The primeval white dragon, which had been drained of its blood, was at least three times smaller than before, and the frost aura on its body was also much weaker. The rock giant Ruboric stepped up with his greatsword in hand, and continued his work of dividing it.

The sharp sword sliced all the way down the wound in the white dragon's throat, slicing its abdomen open. The huge heart was taken out and placed in a special vessel. The heart is the source of energy for the dragon's body, giving the creature powerful breath attacks and other spell-like abilities.

The rest of the dragon (which was a male dragon) was collected as well, and the process of splitting was slow and bloody, and it was only Barrett and the Monster Hunter Auston who joined in, but also Chef Atwood and Tailor Pupato, which made it much faster.

If it was just to divide the dragon, it didn't need to involve a cook and a tailor, so the little mage obviously had a purpose in calling these people over.

While peeling the skin, Pupato's selection of the best parts of the dragon skin and scales prepared to make a new set of leather armor for Barrit. The payment for making leather armor was easy to pay, and naturally it came from the dragon's body, and Barrett didn't even need to pay an extra half a copper coin.

As for the work of a chef, it doesn't need to be repeated.

In fact, most of the parts of the dragon's body are just magic materials for our barbarian adventurers, and the difference is only the amount of gold coins exchanged, and they cannot play their true role. So Barrett gave most of these things to Kreese in a half-deposit, half-gift way. I think it will play a good role in the hands of the little mage.

As for the dragon's remaining huge keel, Barrett originally wanted to give it to the Magic Guild to increase his prestige in the guild. However, the little mage later gave another solution.

Krees strongly recommends that Barrett make this keel into a Frost Dragon as another mount for him. That's a good idea, and it just so happens that the Frost Dragon is a good match for his Death Knight form.

However, the young mage knows very few mages from the necromantic faction, so this matter may require Barrett to go to the Eternal Body of the Dark Realm to communicate with a high-level mage or lich.

Do you want to ride a dragon? Barrett could not help but feel thrilled as he imagined that scenario in his mind. However, this matter has to be considered in the long run, after all, the cost of hiring a high-level mage is quite high.

After the division was over, the little mage led everyone out of this nameless half-plane, and the entire space was silent again.

All that was left of the halted alchemy circle were useless wreckage and a few drips of dragon's blood. And on the big rock not far from the magic circle, the dragon statue that was half stone and half ice shook inexplicably.
