Chapter 4 Blood Origin Fruit
Threads of blood-red color were transported along the massive, robust roots into the tree's canopy, injected into the gradually blooming buds, where a fruit formed alongside the maturing blooms.
The red skin of the fruit was as crimson as blood, yet exuded a fragrance so irresistible that even Noah found it hard to suppress the saliva pooling in his mouth, making him drool with desire.
Nevertheless, Noah temporarily restrained his urge to consume it. Golden roots glimmered with flowing light, like a stream, while waves surged upon them. The young knight, leading his followers, was nearing the end of the Goblin Tribe massacre. It was, from the start, a battle of overwhelming force.
Even though they were previously ignored, once unleashed in full strength, even the secondary defense forces of Tedel's knight order were enough to utterly crush a low-tier monster clan like this.
But a massacre couldn't solve the problem; such low-tier monster tribes were everywhere, and within two or three days, another tribe of similar ecological niche would fill the gap.
Nonetheless, Tedel didn't expect to solve the issue with just one battle. After a simple battlefield cleanup and collecting valuable spoils, he led his team back to the city.
The scene ended here, and the origin of the blood threads feeding off the slaughtered Goblin Tribe's spilt blood became unclear, as it no longer appeared.
All the blood threads flowed entirely into the blooming buds, and the fruit matured silently, hanging from the branches, exuding a fragrance dragons found irresistible.
After a brief contemplation, Noah reached out with his dragon claws, plucking the fruit from the canopy, inspecting it closely. It was a small red fruit, no larger than a cherry, with translucent flesh visible beneath its thin skin.

The moment he plucked the fruit, Noah paused, for he knew the name and function of this fruit, akin to how pure-blood dragons innately knew how to fly and breathe. It was an innate talent and instinct.
