Chapter 123 The Second Dragon Vein Kobold

Thor swallowed a full twenty dark red Dragon Slayer Fruits in one gulp. As his strength increased, the fruit's effects on him gradually diminished, forcing him to increase the dosage.

As the familiar dizziness surged into his mind, his heartbeat quickened, and his viscous blood rushed like a mighty river. Strands of blood energy and magical impurities quickly seeped out from the gaps in his scales.

The kobold not far away, with a pilgrim-like mentality, raised its head, closed its eyes slightly, and began to take a deep breath.

A surge of immense power flowed into their bodies through their nostrils, like scalding hot water gently cleansing their forms.

As their body temperature gradually rose, the variegated colors on some of the kobolds faded, while the red areas became even more vibrant.

call--!

Another burst of flames suddenly erupted on one of the kobolds, and its companions quickly retreated, their eyes filled with a mixture of envy and fear.

It has been proven that even with Thor's assistance, it is by no means easy for the kobolds to successfully activate the dragon blood within them.

This is the fifth kobold to spontaneously combust. However, apart from Tana successfully awakening as a dragon-blooded kobold, the other three have been burned to a crisp.

With a success rate of less than one-third, this ignited flame is both a hope for transformation and a call to death.

But this time, luck seemed to smile upon them. As the flames gradually died down, the kobolds inside were still alive.

Its rusty red scales had become as bright as a red-hot iron, and the tiny bone spurs on its head had lengthened, transforming into two small white horns.

Although the characteristics of dragonification are not obvious, it can be considered a success without a doubt.

According to Saul, such phenomena will only increase in the future.

After all, for the kobolds, absorbing the remnants of his dissipated magic and bloodline energy was both a rite of transformation and a rigorous selection process.

All individuals without the bloodline of the Red Dragon, or whose bloodline is impure, will be quickly eliminated. Only those beings who are compatible with him will survive and become stronger.

Once these kobolds give birth, the newborn kobolds can step on their fathers' shoulders to go further. Over time, they might actually form a race of kobolds who are born with dragon blood.

When the effects of the Dragon Slayer Fruit completely wore off, Thor slowly opened his molten gold-like pupils.

He could clearly feel that as he continued to consume this unique fruit, the rich dragon-attribute energy within it was increasingly influencing his body, and a power within him was already eager to break free.

Could that be his dragon-attribute energy? Is the reason it hasn't been fully revealed yet because it's missing a certain catalyst?

Perhaps he will only be able to fully activate it once he extracts a monster template with dragon-attribute energy.

After swatting away the kobolds around him, Thor slowly walked to the cave entrance while chewing on the dragon crystal.

He wondered if it was just his imagination, but he felt that the mountain he was standing on seemed to have risen a little higher.

The mountain, which was originally grayish-brown, now appears not only darker and more somber, but also faintly tinged with red.

With his powerful perception of the fire and earth elements, he could clearly sense that a scorching and heavy force was spreading towards this place, perhaps it was magma flowing underground, or perhaps it was an extension of the elemental plane.

According to the grey dwarves, deep beneath his territory lies a vast, dark region.

If this power is indeed underground magma attracted by his red dragon bloodline and elemental affinity under the influence of the rules, then that would be quite interesting.

Those bedbugs hiding in the shadows had better pray that the scorching lava flow wouldn't pass by their dwelling.

The discovery that he might soon have his own volcano filled Thor with joy. He looked around at the low, lush mountains, but a sense of unease also crept into his heart.

We don't know if the formation of the volcano will affect those crops. After all, we've waited for nearly three months, and we can't let it all go to waste.

…………

Just when Saul was getting bored and even started to worry about his crops.

Thousands of kilometers away in the wilderness, on a low hill overlooking a lake, two red dragons were staring with delight at the magic crystal in their hands.

Since parting ways with Thor, Sistana and Calp have embarked on their journey of exile.

As two young dragons, even though they are the strongest of the five-colored dragons, the red dragons, it is by no means easy for them to survive in the wilderness.

To avoid being discovered by the blue dragon's minions, they dared not even fly freely. They were nocturnal, spending most of their time hiding in earthen caves, only daring to come out to hunt when they were starving.

These days of not knowing where their next meal would come from, and sometimes even having to gnaw on tree bark, made them regretful at one point, feeling that they shouldn't have taken the opportunity to escape.

While in the Blue Dragon's territory, although there was no freedom, basic food was still guaranteed.

However, this idea only flashed through their minds; they would never actually go back.

After all, the reason they were able to live so leisurely in the Blue Dragon's territory was because the other young dragons had been subdued by Thor and dared not provoke them.

Now that Thor has left, the hatred he accumulated will definitely be directed at them. Even if they aren't killed, they'll probably be skinned alive.

Whenever she thought of this, Sistana felt a burning hatred and couldn't help but curse loudly at Thor, who was nowhere to be found.

Kalp, however, seemed unconcerned, looking at the furious Sistana with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

As expected, a mother dragon is a mother dragon, a weakling who only talks tough words behind people's backs.

Unlike me, who is mature and steady, after that damn Thor left, it should be my turn to be the boss.

After a period of wandering, Sistana and Kalp soon found themselves unable to take it anymore.

Since they hadn't seen the pursuit team sent by the Blue Dragon, they assumed they were safe. After some discussion, the two fools decided to return to the territory that the three fledglings had initially chosen.

After all, there was still a small group of boar people there, who were readily available labor, as well as the caves they had painstakingly dug, and most importantly—the dragon crystals they had hidden away and hadn't been able to take with them in time.

That was hard-earned, braving wind and snow, from the clutches of that greedy and stingy Thor; it cannot be easily discarded.

So they wandered for quite some time, and relying on their naturally strong memory, after some twists and turns, the two young dragons finally saw the familiar low hills.

Sistana and Kalp exchanged a wary glance before rushing out without hesitation to dig quickly towards the spot where they had buried their treasure.

Piles of sand and soil were turned up, with a few small white crystals mixed in, still shimmering with a faint halo even after the passage of time.

"Great! The stuff is still here!"

"Luckily I didn't have it with me, otherwise that old beggar woman would definitely have snatched it."

The two fledgling dragons picked out the dragon crystal fragments mixed in the soil, carefully wiping away the mud and sand that clung to them, their faces filled with delight.

However, immersed in their joy, they were completely unaware of the two pairs of eyes following them all the way behind them.
