The insects in my house are dragons.

Chapter 3 The First Battle!

rustling, rustling—

The sun was setting in the west.

The green velvet, which had been lying motionless on the ground covered with "dragon scales," finally stirred.

Hearing the commotion, Yun Che, who was standing by, immediately stepped forward.

All I saw was...

The little creature, which was originally light blue and jelly-like, now had a layer of white mist covering its body, or more accurately, a thin white film.

The sound came from inside the membrane.

"It shed its skin?" Yun Che was taken aback.

"grumble!"

With a cry, a crack appeared on the top of the velvet worm's head, and the "brand new" little creature emerged with great agility and energy, leaving behind only a shriveled, translucent shell.

After shedding its skin, the little guy chirped happily at Yun Che, its joy palpable even without the aid of the Beast Taming Space.

From Yun Che's perspective, the little guy was noticeably larger.

It was originally only the thickness of three fingers, but now it is at least the thickness of four fingers.

Pick up the little one.

Ok?

As soon as he picked her up, Yun Che was somewhat surprised.

It's heavier than I expected.

Moreover, it doesn't have that soft, fluffy feel, nor does it have a smooth or fuzzy texture; on the contrary... it's a little rough to the touch.

wrong.

As a supernatural creature often mentioned as an example in textbooks, Yun Che believed he had some understanding of the green velvet worm. Its body surface should be smooth with some soft hairs, so why would it feel rough to the touch?

Upon closer inspection, Yun Che looked surprised.

"These are...scales?"

The little guy's body has a thin layer of light blue scales on its surface!

A light tap produces a sound like striking a thin, hard object.

"Chirp~"

Kong Kong, who was being studied, rubbed against Yun Che's hand and let out two soft calls.

Hungry, peach~

Although it is still a bit disjointed, the meaning is more coherent than before.

Have you grown up?

Through the Beast Taming Space, one can clearly sense the little guy's condition; he is still at the early stage of the mutation level.

He picked up the "dragon scale" and gently rubbed its surface. It had the same rough, grainy feel as the little guy's scale, only harder and thicker.

"These really are dragon scales..."

Little caterpillar, want to transform into a dragon? !

Has the evolution of Caterpie into Rayquaza become a reality?

"Chirp~!" Seeing that Yun Che didn't react, Kong Kong chirped again, expressing its demand even more strongly.

hungry!

Yun Che came to his senses, walked out of the orchard, and put it on the ground.

"Try this first."

As he spoke, he took out a thumb-sized, blue-purple "energy cube" that looked like jelly.

"Chirp?" The little guy immediately leaned closer, looking around as if to confirm...

Is this for me to eat?

"Eat."

Once given permission, it immediately took a bite, then its whole body trembled violently as if it had been electrocuted, its eyes squinted happily, and its little tail twitched incessantly.

"Chirp! (๑＞ڡ＜)☆"

Seeing its appearance, Yun Che couldn't help but laugh out loud, and at the same time put down the two peaches he had picked earlier.

"You eat first, then I'll go pick a few more for you."

...

rustling—

"squeak?"

In the woods, a mouse the size of a basketball, covered in tan fur, poked its head out of the ground.

Its nose twitched as it smelled the fragrance of peaches and saw two plump peaches on the ground not far away.

The clever creature did not rush up immediately, but instead cautiously scanned its surroundings.

Then I saw the bug smacking its lips.

Green velvet worm?

Although it looks a bit bigger than a regular green velvet worm, it's... not a threat!

at the same time.

Yun Che, who had just returned from picking peaches, suddenly received a notification from the system.

The first step to becoming the strongest trainer is winning your first battle!

[Accept Main Quest Two: The First Battle!]

[Mission Rewards: TM "Dragon Tail" x1, Mastery Seed "White" x5!]

At the same time the system notification appeared, Yun Che and Kong Kong both noticed the guy running towards them quickly.

"Avoiding groundhogs?"

It is one of the most common supernatural beings in the countryside.

However, it is much more dangerous than a green velvet worm.

An ordinary person could easily have a large chunk of flesh bitten off by its two sharp front teeth, or even have their ankle severed.

The first battle is already here?

"grumble!!"

Compared to Yun Che, Kong Kong was clearly much more excited and thrilled.

It immediately realized that the ground squirrel had come to steal its food!

How can we tolerate this?!

No foodie could resist this!

When the mole charged at him, Kongkong was fearless and ran straight into it.

boom! ! !

Upon impact, Kongkong remained motionless, while the groundhog rolled backward like a ball several times before finally stopping.

This collision left the groundhog slightly bewildered.

What's going on?!

"Chirp!!" The voice rang out with great force, as if asserting its sovereignty.

Peach, mine!

Its tail curled up, and it rolled the two peaches on the ground to its side.

The mole, feeling pain, glanced fearfully at Kongkong, then turned and ran away.

Yun Che looked at Kong Kong, who was holding his head high.

So brave?

Although that earth rat was only at the early stage of mutation level, but...

He was sent flying headfirst?

They didn't even use their skills!

Is a simple collision comparable to using a skill?

"Is it because... a dragon?"

Think about it too.

Even non-pure dragon-attribute extraordinary creature cubs are often at the lord level or higher, while pure dragon-attribute cubs start at the overlord level.

For beings of this racial hierarchy, defeating a Groundhog of equal strength wouldn't be as simple as flicking its paw.

Although Kongkong doesn't have any dragon attributes yet, at most he has awakened a trace of dragon bloodline.

But in essence, it has already crushed the ground rat.

"No wonder dragon-type supernatural creatures are so sought after."

It doesn't even need to be a dragon-type pet. As long as it has dragon bloodline and the word "dragon" in its name, even a flying-type pet will not be weak.

"Well done, Kongkong." After putting down the remaining peaches, Yun Che walked to the little guy's side, gently patted its raised head, and said.

Praise is the first step in building mutual trust when raising a pet.

Sure enough, upon hearing the praise, Kongkong raised his head even higher.

"Alright, let's eat the peaches."

"grumble!"

peach!

After smacking his lips twice to savor the taste of the energy cube, he immediately pounced on the tempting peach on the ground.

Although the energy cubes can provide it with enough nutrition, they cannot fill its stomach.

If Yun Che were to feed it energy cubes, he probably wouldn't be able to keep it alive.

Seeing that it was still eating happily, Yun Che smiled and sat down to the side, browsing the system's information.

[Mission Completed: First Battle!]

[Rewards: TM/TM Dragon Tail x1, Mastery Seed White x5]

Two more items have been added to the system space.

The move learning machine, as the name suggests, allows you to learn the skills recorded on it by using this item.

The skill recorded on the TM that Yun Che obtained was the Dragon-type move – Dragon Tail!

Normally speaking.

A bug-type pet cannot learn dragon-type skills, but considering Kong Kong's "dragon transformation" process and the system's judgment on it, Yun Che hesitated for a moment before choosing to use it.

"Use TM 'Dragon Tail'!" he thought to himself.

hum-

A burst of white light appeared on Kongkong's body.

"Chirp?" The little guy looked up blankly.

The white light came quickly and went quickly.

"Kongkong, use Dragon Tail on that tree." Yun Che stared at the little guy, somewhat expectant of the result.

"Chirp?" Kongkong was even more confused. It put down the half-eaten peach and climbed to a tree about the thickness of a calf.

Then, it suddenly realized what was happening, and swung its tail violently, a light purple energy instantly enveloping it.

next second.

boom! !

click -

That tree actually snapped in two!

That explosive power...

Yun Che was also somewhat surprised.

I actually learned it!

If we draw a few claws and two horns on Kongkong when we go out, wouldn't it really be able to disguise him as a dragon?

"grumble!!"

Although she didn't know what had happened or understand what Yun Che had done to her, after witnessing her own actions, Kongkong understood one thing...

From now on, no one can steal food from my empty mouth, no one!
