Era of Pet Beasts: Picking Up a Dark Demon Dragon Egg Right off the Bat - Chapter 22

Matthew felt a headache coming on at Edith’s words. What he feared really happened.

Previously, he thought that the two sisters had come to share resources with him.

However, as soon as they opened their mouth, they were talking about raising their strength.

Wasn’t this hinting him to give them cultivation resources?

Matthew wasn’t so stupid as to agree to them.

But just as he was about to refuse, Brenda said, “Honorable Dragon Knight, don’t worry. We’ll inform the family and have them provide us with more cultivation resources. We won’t trouble you.”

Matthew hesitated for a moment. It was a different matter if their family provided them with resources.

Perhaps their family could even give him some cultivation resources.

It would save him the trouble of running around the Maar Mountains.

Hmm… worth considering.

“Okay.”

Matthew nodded. “Just follow.”

After saying that, he ignored the two sisters and headed in the direction that the system had pointed out.

According to the system notification, he would be able to find the Tier 9 Darkin Flower in less than 100 meters.

Brenda and Edith were overjoyed and showed a beautiful smile.

They could follow the Dragon Knight from now on. This was a great honor.

After the Dragon Knight training journey ended, they would definitely become the center of attention when they returned to their family.

Thinking of this scene, they could not help but feel excited.

“Follow closely.”

Before Matthew left, he didn’t forget to remind them.

The two sisters came back to their senses and hurriedly caught up with him, following closely behind him.

A while later, Matthew and the other two advanced nearly a hundred meters.

However, Matthew did not see the Darkin Flower.

Not to mention seeing it, he didn’t even smell a hint of flower fragrance.

Furthermore, it was already late at night. His vision was greatly obstructed and he could barely see the path ahead.

If Brenda didn’t have a crystal that could shine at night, they would have fallen into a deep pit several times.

Through the light of the crystal, they even discovered a thick fog around them.

“What is going on?”

Matthew muttered to himself.

According to the system’s guidance, he should be near the Darkin Flower now.

How could he not notice anything unusual?

Had he gone astray?

“System, how far is the Darkin Flower from me?”

Matthew asked in his mind.

Soon, he received a response from the system.

“Right here.”

A few question marks appeared above Matthew’s head.

Where?

Why didn’t he see it?

Matthew looked around, but didn’t see any rare or unusual grass. There were only extremely ordinary bushes and some weeds that could be seen everywhere.

Could the Darkin Flower be hiding in some bush?

Matthew explored the nearby grass with a suspicious mind.

Edith and Brenda, on the other hand, could do nothing but watch. They didn’t know how to help, mostly because they weren’t sure what Matthew was looking for.

After a long time, the two of them saw that Matthew had not found what he was looking for and began to feel anxious for him.

So Brenda asked, “Honorable Dragon Knight, what are you looking for? We can help.”

Matthew stopped searching.

He stood there expressionlessly, not sure if he was discouraged or annoyed because he hadn’t found anything.

The two girls felt that Matthew was incomparably majestic at this moment and did not dare to ask any more questions. They thought that their questions had angered the Dragon Knight.

In reality, Matthew was frantically asking the system in his mind.

Didn’t it say that the Darkin Flower was here?

Why didn’t he see anything after searching for so long?

“System, what is going on?”

The system still gave the same reply.

“The Darkin Flower is here.”

Matthew, who had been unable to find the Darkin Flower for a long time, was feeling extremely vexed.

A Tier 9 treasure!

There might not be one in the entire Vartas Continent!

He met it today, but how come he couldn’t find it?

It was just like a pauper in his previous life who happened to see a bank card with no owner. Furthermore, he knew that there was 100 billion in it. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not find the passcode to the bank card.

A hundred billion was right in front of him. It was within his reach, but he could not take it out. How distressing was that?

“Matthew.”

At that moment, Brenda’s voice brought Matthew back to reality.

He turned around and saw the two terrified sisters. He couldn’t help but ask them what they wanted to say.

But then Brenda said, trembling, “Didn’t you hear a terrifying sound?”

“A terrifying sound?”

Matthew had been distracted, almost cutting off any sound from the outside world. It took Brenda two or three shouts to get him back to his senses.

At this moment, when he focused his attention to listen, he discovered that there were waves of slight movements nearby. It was as if someone or something was approaching them, and the sound was becoming clearer and clearer.

“A mutated beast is coming?”

Matthew was immediately on his guard.

As someone who had lived two lives, he had become exceptionally careful in handling matters.

Especially in the Maar Mountains where there were many mutated beasts.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Heber possessed the divine dragon’s bloodline, the aura it emitted could scare away many low-level beasts; otherwise, they would encounter a beast charging at them every time they walked.

Gradually, through the glowing crystal in Brenda’s hand, Matthew discovered that the mist around him had begun to change. It was a faint red color, as if blood had mixed into it.

“Something’s wrong!”

Matthew immediately told Heber to get ready.

It was the first time he had encountered a faint red mist since coming to this world.

“You all trespassed into the Darkin Race’s sealed land without permission, so you all will receive God’s Curse!”

Suddenly, Matthew, Edith, and Brenda heard an ethereal voice that seemed to come from very far away but also seemed to be coming from right beside their ears.

Edith and Brenda shuddered at the sound and almost ran into Matthew’s arms.

However, they resisted intimate contact in their hearts and only hid behind Matthew.

“You heard the strange sound too?”

Matthew looked grim.

Even Heber bared its teeth, showing a fierce expression.

This pair of sisters hid behind Matthew and nodded vigorously twice, the fear on their faces even more pronounced.

“What is the Darkin Race? There is actually God’s Curse here!”

Matthew’s expression was extremely grave, but there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He had read countless books and felt that he had some understanding of the Vartas continent.

It could not be said that he knew everything, but he knew about almost all races on the continent.

However, the Darkin Race had never been mentioned in any books.

Could it be that some race had changed its name?

“Do you know of the Darkin Race?”

After careful consideration, Edith shook her head to show that she did not know.

However, Brenda, who was her sister, was deep in thought. She seemed to have some impression of the Darkin Race.

Seeing this, Matthew said nothing to interrupt Brenda’s train of thought, in case she suddenly couldn’t remember.
