Chapter 125: Devouring All, The Bloodline Evolution of the Demonic Dragon (III)

Chapter 125: Devouring All, The Bloodline Evolution of the Demonic Dragon (III)

Chen Chu took out his phone and logged into the school’s official website, searching the internal information network with the terms "red stones" and "special attraction to mutated beasts".

Immediately, several links popped up, among which one caught Chen Chu's attention. With a tap on the screen, detailed information appeared.

"Blood Crystals are a type of bloodline-related resource formed in special environments. They can alter the bloodline attributes of organisms to an extent, with the effectiveness determined by the environment in which the Blood Crystals are incubated.

"This item is ineffective on humans and is instead often used by powerful cultivators to cultivate mutated beast companions. Ordinary Blood Crystals can be exchanged for 30 contribution points each. Currently, Nantian Martial Arts High School has no stock available..."

"It really is a bloodline-related item." Chen Chu's eyes flickered.

Deep within the underwater rift, the Sword Beast's eyes similarly gleamed with excitement as it watched the red stones rolling in the golden magma.

Perhaps it wouldn't need to wait for the fourth evolution; it might be able to acquire energy abilities ahead of schedule.

Above the rift, the orca approached with the body of the longest eel in its mouth, emitting a whining sound as if calling out. It was urging the Sword Beast to hurry and bring up the valuable items, now that all of the enemies had been eliminated.

The Sword Beast lifted its head and emitted a low growl.

Roar! Roar! Don’t worry, I will keep my word.

As it spoke, the Sword Beast leaned slightly forward, its massive claws slowly reaching towards the center of the golden magma that even the sea water couldn't extinguish.

As the claws approached the seemingly calm magma, white steam emitted from their tips.

Just then, the muscles of the Sword Beast's right claw bulged, bursting with speed. In an instant, it pierced through the high-temperature water and plunged into the golden magma, leaving behind a residual image with a resounding bang.

Bang!

The water exploded, and magma splattered everywhere as four Blood Crystals of various sizes shot out. The Sword Beast swiftly turned around and caught each one in its claws as it pursued them.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

Watching the Sword Beast obtaining the red stones, the orca emitted excited whimpers, its massive body swimming excitedly above

Swoosh!

The beast swam upward, quickly leaping out of the seabed rift. Seeing this, the male orca swam over in a hurry.

Roar! Roar!

Seeing the approaching orca, the Sword Beast emitted a low growl, signaling it to keep its distance. It then asked if it still had the eel’s body.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! It’s over there, take it yourself.

Roar! Roar! Roar! No, give it to me first, then I will give you the good stuff.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! You give it to me first, then I will give you the body.

Roar! Roar! No.

Under the Sword Beast’s strong insistence, the orca had no choice but to turn around and swim several hundred meters away to pick up the eel’s body, which was eighteen meters long.

While the orca swam around, the Sword Beast crouched at the edge of the rift, looking around into the darkness. It faintly sensed a hint of danger

It was obvious that it wasn't just the orca; other mutated creatures in the vicinity were also eyeing the Blood Crystals. They had come lurking over while the orca and the eels were fighting.

Soon, the orca brought two eel carcasses over, gently placing them in front of the Sword Beast. Then, it blinked its lively eyes, looking at the beast expectantly.

Although this creature understood ambush tactics, its mentality seemed somewhat naive. It apparently hadn't considered the possibility that the Sword Beast might grab the two carcasses and retreat into the rift, leaving it with nothing.

Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!

"These are the changes brought about by the bloodline transformation?"

In the reading room, as he felt the changes occurring in the Sword Beast, Chen Chu's eyes revealed a hint of astonishment, then summoned the attribute page.

The body, including the outer armor, can emit temperatures of up to a hundred degrees Celsius, with extremely high resistance to flame and energy-based attacks. This ability can purify the bloodline by absorbing intense heat energy, and can also be enhanced by using attribute points.)

Evolution points: 1320/3000

Chen Chu glanced at his own attributes, then his attention shifted to the changes in his avatar.

The name had changed to Six-horned Sword Armored Fiery Beast, and it had gained another ability.

The ability to emit a temperature of a hundred degrees Celsius from the body... doesn't seem to be very useful. Emitting high temperatures in the sea would just mean continuously consuming energy, wouldn't it?

It was somewhat comforting that this ability could evolve. Even if it wasn’t enhanced using attribute points, it could still become stronger by consuming sources of hot energy.

The important part was that it had strengthened the now Fiery Beast’s resistance against energy-based attacks. When encountering those Crystal Horn Fish again, it could now charge up and take them out head-on, even with their freezing icy light.

It had been more effective than expected, though that was closely related to the Fiery Beast itself. Normally, other mutated beasts wouldn't experience such a significant transformation after consuming it. It wouldn't start at 30 contribution points per crystal if they did.

Next, Chen Chu's gaze fell on the evolution points below, and he couldn’t help but smile slightly.

It had been just over a month since the Six-horned Sword Armored Beast had evolved for the third time, but the evolution points had already accumulated to over a thousand, indicating an increasingly rapid pace.

Such rapid accumulation was closely linked to devouring all of those high-level mutated beasts. Compared to the barren river, the resources in the sea were abundant, and it teemed with mutated creatures everywhere.

The mutated beasts exceeding fifteen meters contained particularly abundant energy. Consuming one of those was akin to having preyed upon dozens or even hundreds of the tinier mutated beasts in the past.

When the Sword Beast had been fortunate, it could accumulate 60 to 70 evolution points in a day. Even when its luck had been poor, it could still accumulate 10 to 20 points. While the sea was rich in resources, most of them were just ordinary level 1 or 2 mutated fish. The ocean was far too vast to easily find high-level mutated beasts just anywhere.

However, as the beast’s strength increased, its hunting range expanded and it could prey on stronger mutated beasts, increasing the speed of its evolution point accumulation.

At this rate, in just over a month, it would meet the requirements for the fourth evolution, even faster than the speed of the previous three.

By then, with the integration of the new abilities, the Fiery Beast’s strength would skyrocket once again. He would be one step closer to his dream of dominating the ocean and becoming a ten-thousand-meter colossal beast.
