The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Old Man Ma looked at Atilan in surprise. He had lived for nearly a hundred years and had never seen the writing of devils. He didn't expect Atilan to not only recognize it but also be completely unaffected by the abnormal mental power contained within the writing.

"Why doesn't the bewitching language of devils have any effect on you?"

Atilan rolled his eyes at Old Man Ma, annoyed.

"Nonsense, I am an elemental dragon. How could the mental power contained in the writing of a mere intermediate devil affect me? I think you're really getting senile."

As he spoke, Atilan grabbed a handful of peppermint candies from his dimensional pouch and stuffed them into Old Man Ma's hand.

"Take your son and eat candy, don't use your brain. Use the fence to channel the lightning from the thunder pool above to cleanse yourself of the devil's language. Maybe a little electrotherapy will get your brain working again."

Old Man Ma held the candy that Atilan had forced into his hand, feeling incredibly bitter inside. After being electrocuted by lightning twice, he had indeed regained a fraction of his clarity.

No longer as arrogant as before, he faintly sensed the situation within his body and knew that he would have to stay here for at least a year or two to remove the contamination within him.

If he was unlucky, he would spend the rest of his life here. Because his body was affected by the power of the devil, he could not be buried in the forest in the usual way.

His body had to be destroyed by fire or lightning to avoid the devil's power from polluting the forest, and even his soul could not enter the Emerald Dream for reincarnation.

Judging by his thinking ability, his soul must have been secretly affected by the devil's methods, but Old Man Ma didn't understand how he was affected.

If he wanted to leave here as soon as possible, it seemed that he could only rely on the method of touching the electric gate, using the natural purification effect of the thunder pool. Old Man Ma suddenly felt that his life was a little dim.

"Master, how should I use the power of lightning in the fence?"

Vine Woman was still examining Wraith's body. After her examination just now, she really found some hidden devil methods in Wraith's centaur body.

Vine Woman focused her examination on Wraith. Apart from Wraith's soul being completely transformed into a devilish form, Old Man Ma's devilish influence came from Wraith.

By figuring out how Wraith subtly bewitched Old Man Ma, Vine Woman could better take measures to treat him. Directly touching the electric gate to allow the power of lightning to enter Old Man Ma's body to dispel the power of the devil was the most crude and brutal approach.

Vine Woman stroked her chin, frowned slightly, and said:

"Don't worry, let me think. Your problem is not easy to cure. I said, you're so old, why don't you know how to restrain yourself? If you don't indulge your desires at will, you won't be so deeply eroded."

"Sometimes I wonder if there is something wrong with my and Gai's educational method of letting you cultivate according to your natural preferences, which is why none of you have achieved success on the path of the Druid."

Old Man Ma's face turned red immediately, and he lowered his head in shame.

"It's my fault."

He admitted that his spiritual cultivation was not up to par, but it was really not his problem that he couldn't reach level 18 in Druid.

Looking at his disappointing appearance, Vine Woman really wanted to whip him.

Audrey curiously poked Atilan's back.

"What desires did Old Man Ma indulge in?"

Atilan turned back to look at Audrey in surprise.

"It's nothing. If you don't understand, then don't understand. You eat candy too."

Audrey slapped him directly.

"Don't think I don't know what you meant by giving Old Man Ma candy just now!"

"… …"

Atilan swore that the meaning he wanted to express was really different. Giving Old Man Ma candy was to treat him like an idiot, giving Audrey candy was because…

"Look at Mao Mao, he won't and doesn't understand what Master is saying. He eats candy honestly. You try it, this is my latest research result of magical cuisine."

"Not only is it delicious, but it also comes with various bonus magic effects."

Wraith looked at their youthful appearance, and she also recalled those bits and pieces of the past with Old Man Ma, the beautiful past.

"Master, do you think my problem can be cured?"

Vine Woman looked at Wraith seriously and assured:

"Don't worry, with me here, Blood Dye will also come back after handling the affairs of the Northern Kingdom, and Old Urchin will also complete his breakthrough. When Gai finishes his cultivation, I will let him help too."

"The four of us working together, there is no problem that cannot be solved."

With Vine Woman's guarantee, Wraith's heart was settled, but Vine Woman took a meaningful look at Mao Mao, who was still struggling with the candy. The problem with this child is actually the biggest.

The mother's soul is incomplete, how could the child born not have problems.

"The preliminary preparations may still require the two of you to cooperate. How you were recruited at the time, that's how you will be cured now!"

Wraith and Old Man Ma looked at each other and nodded shyly.

"We know."

Atilan looked at Old Man Ma with contempt. How old are you, your face is as red as a teapot!

"Do you want me to prepare two pots of sea dragon blood wine for you?"

Faced with Atilan's teasing smile, Old Man Ma could only glare at him with impotent rage. Separated by the fence, he couldn't rush out to hit Atilan.

Vine Woman glared at him.

"Don't mess with me. If you don't want to stay here, take Audrey out for a walk."

At first, Audrey was concerned about what they were talking about, but later she was completely immersed in the deliciousness of the rainbow candy.

Various different flavors, various strange magical effects, she didn't understand why a candy could contain so much magic.

And it was very chewy. She coveted Atilan's means of transforming into a little dragon, and didn't want to walk outside in a weak high elf form, so she asked Atilan to teach her the magic of transforming into a little dragon.

Of course, Atilan was not a fool, and it was impossible to hand over the control of life to Audrey. He just told Audrey the template corresponding to the little dragon's life form that he had researched.

This little dragon form is actually a humanoid dragon. Maintaining this form can exert 50% of the power of the ocean dragon, and it can be increased to 80% at most with the deepening control of the form.

Audrey has not yet practiced it. Her high elf form has not yet grown dragon horns, but she also has 20-30% of the power of her ocean dragon form, but she found that her current teeth can't easily tear the candy.

"Atilan, what did you make this candy with?"

Atilan smiled smugly but offered no explanation.

"Try it and see if you can tell what it's made of?"

He had spent a long time researching how to balance the magic preservation effect and the palatability.

Mao Mao finally chewed and swallowed the gummy in his mouth. Looking at the gummy in his dad's hand, he proactively approached the centaur's fence, staring at the gummy in his hand with greedy eyes, but he was also timid and didn't dare to reach out, afraid of getting shocked.

Finally, he opened his mouth and made a few babbling sounds before Mao Mao forced out a word.

"Candy!"

The centaur excitedly picked up a gummy and stuffed it into Mao Mao's mouth.

"Daddy's giving it to you, Meiying! Mao Mao spoke! Did you hear that? Mao Mao can talk! My son, he spoke for the first time!"

Looking at the centaur's proud expression, Atilan shrugged and responded perfunctorily:

"Yeah, very impressive, much smarter than his dad."

The centaur irritably stuffed a mint-flavored gummy into his own mouth, intending to calm his anger, otherwise, he was really afraid that he would lose his mind and want to rush out and fight Atilan.

Feeling the cool mint flavor in the gummy, the centaur's eyes lit up.

"What a refreshing feeling, my brain doesn't feel so heavy anymore."

Unlike the centaur and Meiying, who were excited that their child had spoken, the Vine Woman examined Meiying's physical structure and determined with certainty that Mao Mao was definitely mentally deficient.

Mao Mao's problem was that Meiying's soul was incomplete, and the centaur body had been secretly manipulated by demons, resulting in incomplete soul development. His body's bloodline had both centaur and demon parts.

And the soul was more like an aggregation of soul particles decomposed from worm fragments, which could be considered a relatively pure demon soul, but the soul lacked intelligence.

Moreover, because he had been drinking sea dragon blood wine for a long time before and after his birth, he also showed some signs of dragonification. The body and soul were mismatched, making it difficult for him to control his body.

Mao Mao was indeed growing relatively fast. The centaur even said he wanted to send Mao Mao to participate in the demon druid's experiment. After carefully considering Mao Mao's situation, the Vine Woman discovered that he did indeed show signs of degenerating into a dragon centaur demon.

If he continued to be affected by the power of the demons and the sea dragon blood wine, he would inevitably degenerate into a chaotic, evil, brutal, and unintelligent dragon centaur demon.

Therefore, the fact that Mao Mao could actually speak was the most shocking thing to her.

She immediately put down Meiying and walked to Mao Mao, releasing elven radiance to examine Mao Mao's physical condition.

She immediately discovered that there was a very strange energy in Mao Mao's body affecting his body and soul. The core of the energy release was in Mao Mao's stomach. Carefully identifying the shape of the energy source, it looked like a gummy with some teeth marks on it.

Gummy!

"Atilan, what kind of gummy did you just give Mao Mao?"

Faced with the Vine Woman's sudden question, Atilan was stunned.

"Just the same gummy they have. I even specifically chose an apple flavor."

"Come and see for yourself. I don't think you gave him ordinary gummy."

Meiying and the centaur immediately looked anxiously at Mao Mao. In his nervousness, the centaur couldn't help but put his hand on the fence.

"Impossible?"

Atilan stepped forward and reached out to sense the situation inside Mao Mao's body. His expression suddenly became a little ugly, then he opened his dimensional pocket and found that the small box that should have been placed in the corner had been opened at some point.

There should have been four gummies inside, but now there were only three left.

It seemed that only Audekis had touched his dimensional pocket to get something to eat.

"Audekis, where's the thing in that box?"

Audekis thought for a moment, and finally, she looked at the hand holding the gummy and putting it in her mouth before she realized.

"That gummy! I just wanted to find something to eat, but your gummy didn't look very eye-catching, and it was colorful. I didn't even know it was edible at first."

"After opening the box, I didn't put it back, but casually threw it into your big pocket with the gummies. What's wrong? Was that gummy different?"

Atilan's heart twitched. He now understood how the Supreme Lord Lao felt.

"My golden core!"

The Vine Woman asked curiously:

"Chen once said that the golden core is made from various precious materials. Eating one can elevate a person to the legendary realm. Does your golden core have this effect too?"

Atilan shook his head awkwardly.

"No, what you're talking about is the Nine-Turn Golden Core. My golden core is actually a golden core that hasn't even been turned once."

The Vine Woman sized Atilan up.

"I remember you said you wanted to study the golden core, but it seems like you gave up after tinkering for two days. Where did you get the golden core refining method? Did Sestis teach you?"

Audekis was also curious.

"When did Father teach you such a magical thing?"

Audekis also began to probe Mao Mao's physical condition and indeed felt something releasing energy to nourish Mao Mao's body and soul.

"You forgot, it was the dragon pearl auxiliary material refining method you gave me. I combined it with the magical potion making knowledge you taught me, and the energy crystal knowledge Old Imp taught me."

"Then I got the current golden core!"

Audekis opened Atilan's dimensional pocket and took out a golden core, comparing it with the gummy in her hand.

"Isn't this still a gummy? It's just a little harder when you pinch it? Since it's for making dragon pearls and energy crystals, shouldn't it be a hard crystal? Why did it turn into a gummy?"

Atilan smiled awkwardly.

"I found it difficult to completely transform the prepared magic potion into a crystal. In order not to affect the effect of the magic potion, I could only try other ways to solidify it."

"Finally, I really found a magical resin in the forest. Using this resin, I made the current colloidal golden core, and the effect is very good!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely research the real golden core as quickly as possible!"

Atilan suddenly realized that the Vine Woman, who had been very calm, suddenly became angry.

"Good, so that's why the resin on my apple tree suddenly disappeared, and there were so many ugly wounds. So you did this!"

Atilan's body stiffened instantly.

"That's not an ordinary evergreen tree. I saw that it didn't bloom or bear fruit. I've been observing it for more than a year. Apart from the golden resin looking a little interesting, it really looks like an ordinary tree."

"Although there are magical fluctuations and it is at an energy node, I still think it's very ordinary no matter how I look at it?"

The Vine Woman was too busy being angry, and she suddenly thought of a question.

"That area is sealed off, how did you get in?"
