Chapter 434: Chapter 272: High-Quality Card Position_2

[The Spirit Cat is lured by the scent of food, meowing and scampering towards the meal in front of you.]

[The instant it steps on the trap, the trap suddenly closes, imprisoning the Spirit Cat in a wooden cage. The Spirit Cat erupts into a howl, violently struggling within the cage. You appear indifferent, moving forward to pick up the cage.]

[You have obtained a ’Lost Spirit Cat’...]

Having successfully captured the mission target, Mu You immediately stuffed it into his backpack, then turned his gaze towards the Mana Floating Dragon.

[You come to the front of the big tree, the roaming creature before your eyes has red glowing eyes, its gaze towards you reveals a ferocious nature, clearly also an out-of-control Mana Floating Dragon. Unfortunately, its injuries are too severe, and it’s on the brink of disappearing. You choose...]

Three options: [Heal it],[Kill it],[Leave it be].

Ignoring it is definitely not an option as the loot from this creature is worth at least a year’s lifespan.

However, Mu You contemplated whether to save it now and kill it tomorrow given that today’s quota for Mana Floating Dragon assignments has already been filled, this would save some task time.

With that thought, Mu You chose ’Heal it’.

But what he didn’t expect was that the game started popping up with some odd text.

[You pick up the Mana Floating Dragon, intending to heal its wounds. However, the moment the Mana Floating Dragon enters your hands, you feel a familiar fluctuation.]

[The chaotic flow of magic power within the Mana Floating Dragon, gives you a similar sensation to that of creatures that have been corroded by natural magic and subsequently turned dark...]

"Huh?"

Staring in surprise, Mu You pondered over its similarity to dark creatures... Could these Mana Floating Dragons be out of control because they ingested natural magic power?

If that’s the case, then perhaps he could help it by using an arcane crystal to reorder its chaotic energy into normal energy, just like how he dealt with black magic crystals picked up in the Black Forest.

Just as Mu You was having this thought, the text happened to pop out with a prompt.

[You suspect that the Mana Floating Dragon’s loss of control may be due to natural magic, so you attempt to reorder its energy using the arcane crystal...]

The reordering process was quick, around ten minutes later, text appeared again.

[You helped the Mana Floating Dragon reorder its energy. The blood-red color in its eyes disappears, returning it to its normal state.]

[The Mana Floating Dragon senses the full-bodied arcane energy within you, a more pure and delicious food source than the arcane energy it usually feeds on. The Mana Floating Dragon excitedly floats around you, proactively requesting to become your contracted familiar.]

[Will you accept its contract?]

"It actually worked!"

Mu You was surprised. It seems like the Mana Floating Dragon’s loss of control was indeed due to consuming chaotic natural energy. Furthermore, after helping it to recover, the Mana Floating Dragon surprisingly clung to him, actively requesting a contract with him!

"Accept."

[You have accepted the Mana Floating Dragon’s contract request. Contract enchantment automatically completed.]

[Mana Floating Dragon: After the contract, it can devour a magic circuit and memorize it, helping you in combat by releasing the same magic at your command. The magic devoured by the Mana Floating Dragon is equivalent to a deconstructed magic. Current growth level: Juvenile (52/1000): Devouring other Mana Floating Dragons or Arcane Crystals can increase the growth level.]

The text after the contract left Mu You quite surprised: It’s actually a combat-supporting contracted familiar!

It can devour and memorize magic, this description somewhat resembles the effect of the Arcane Sphere, Mu You speculated whether the Arcane Sphere was crafted based on the Mana Floating Dragon’s principles?

However, the description of the Arcane Sphere explicitly states that it can only duplicate regular magic and cannot memorize black magic, but the description of the Mana Floating Dragon doesn’t mention this restriction...

So, Mu You, with a just-in-case mindset, took out a Fireball Technique Mystical Skills Card, sent it into the game, chose [Feed], and fed it to the Mana Floating Dragon.

[The Mana Floating Dragon eats your Mystical Skills Card like a cookie.]

[After some chewing, the card disappears. The Mana Floating Dragon successfully memorized ’Small Fireball Technique’.]

"It really worked!"

Mu You was astonished. The ability to devour black magic was phenomenal, especially for the twelve sorcerers.

Because it means that the Mana Floating Dragon can be used as a memory card!

"Vivian, has your team ever contracted a Mana Floating Dragon before?" Mu You immediately went to ask Vivian about it.

"A Mana Floating Dragon?"

Vivian shook her head: "Mana Floating Dragons are the companions of the Sunlight Elves. They only recognize the bloodlines of Sunlight Elves. Even if other races capture a Mana Floating Dragon, they won’t be able to form a contract. Why do you ask?"

Even Vivian didn’t know about this?

It is understandable, though. Under normal circumstances, a Mana Floating Dragon can’t be contracted by outsiders, and if a Mana Floating Dragon loses control, it will be quickly eliminated by the Sunlight Elves so outsiders never have a chance to interact with them, which explains why even the previous generation of sorcerers didn’t know about the secret of the Mana Floating Dragons!

Mu You immediately told Vivian about what happened in the game.

After listening, Vivian was taken aback as well, then nodded thoughtfully: "It is said that Mana Floating Dragons naturally pursue more pure magic. The arcane energy they usually consume is just a more refined normal magic power. However, in the natural world, there exists natural magic, which is more potent than arcane energy and of course more delicious to the Mana Floating Dragons. However, natural magic is too chaotic and severely harmful to creatures like Mana Floating Dragons who seek purity."
