I, Who Have Been Reborn as a Poison Dragon, Am Being Persecuted by the World - Chapter 14

After realizing that it was a false alarm, Lei Luo returned to his island to rest. He was still not used to the underwater environment, but his physique was strong enough to avoid most harm.

He had returned to the island to sleep, but the heavily injured merman was not so lucky.

Although the merman was eventually devoured by the sea beasts, he travelled ten nautical miles before they died.

The members of the Merman Race quickly found out that the two mermen who had gone out to investigate had died. This was because they had to report back every day. If they didn’t report back, it meant that something had happened and they would have to send more people to investigate. If it was a sea beast lair, they would give up on investigating.

Lei Luo was resting on the island, while the mermen were shaking.

The merman priest, who had been in charge of scouting the outside world, calculated the number of mermen in the evening and found that all the scouting personnel had returned. However, there was no news from the mermen who scouted the area where Gehr had been attacked.

No news meant that something had happened.

“Could it be that my judgment was wrong, and that the young dragon is still moving about in that region?”

The merman priest walked back and forth in his room. After some thought, he went to the inner room and asked Gehr, who was grounded there.

Ten minutes later, the merman priest walked out of the room and gathered all the mermen in front of him.

“Clansmen, the mission has changed. There is no need for you to go out and explore the sea. Stay in our territory instead. Soon, I will announce something important.”

“Everyone is dismissed,” said the priest. “Shardin and Sharbao, come to see me tomorrow morning.”

The mermen gathered here were puzzled. Shardin and Sharbao were the fastest mermen, but they were not very accomplished in scouting. Instead, they often provoked sea beasts and attracted danger. What was the priest looking for? Why did he suddenly give such orders?

No matter what arrangements were made, it would not be Shardin and Sharbao’s turn. Did the priest expect them to be fast enough to spread the news?

Due to the priest’s authority, no one questioned him in person. Instead, they all left.

Meanwhile, Lei Luo was not sure about the movements of the Merman Race.

When he woke up the next morning, he went to the more dangerous sea area to hunt. He planned to absorb more energy to promote his evolution.

If he did not become stronger quickly, he would become prey.

Of course, before he set off, he discovered that there were no signs of merman activity. Perhaps the mermen had yet to discover the death of their clansmen, or they were too far away and it would take some time for them to arrive.

Either way, it was something to be happy about for Lei Luo. After all, he needed more time to grow.

The Dragon Race was considered young 100 years after years. They would only enter the adolescence period after another 100 years. They would only be considered a youth 300 years after birth.

As time passed, his strength would continue to increase until it reached its peak. Cultivation would speed up the accumulation of his strength.

In this aspect, the Poison Dragon race had a different advantage.

Their innate poisonous breath could cause damage to creatures of the same level and above. If they continued to use their poison, it was possible to kill creatures of a higher level than themselves.

For example, it had only been two years since Lei Luo was born, but because of his poison ability, he could hunt down ranked creatures alone even before he reached Level-1.

After advancing to Level-2, he had even hunted creatures that were two levels higher than him because his bloodline talent had awakened.

If it were other dragons, they would at most be able to sweep through creatures of the same level at this time. They would definitely not be able to hunt creatures that were two levels higher than them.

Today, Lei Luo decided to test out how lethal his poisonous breath was to creatures that had advanced to Level-5.

After all, the tribe head of the Merman Race was already a peak Level-4 warrior. What if he broke through to Level-5 at some point?

Fortunately, since he had interacted with the tribe leader in advance, he had a rough impression of the tribe leader.

After flying straight into a higher-leveled area of the sea, Lei Luo folded his wings and began to patrol the edge of the sea while looking for prey.

There was no way he could defeat creatures that were three levels higher than him. He could only rely on his poisonous breath. If his poisonous breath could not be used, then he could only run. He had to find creatures that looked slow to prevent himself from being beaten.

After searching for half an hour, Lei Luo’s eyes flickered as he locked onto a Level-5 Indigo Jellyfish.

Molluscs were very resistant to attacks, but they lacked speed.

“Brother, I’ll use you to test the power of my poisonous breath today. If you go crazy later, please run more slowly and give me a chance.”

As Lei Luo spat out his poisonous breath, he muttered softly.

Soon, his poisonous breath, which was green with streaks of dark red, tainted the surrounding seawater with a different color. Lei Luo controlled his poison carefully and surrounded the Indigo Jellyfish from all directions, not giving it a chance to escape.

The surrounding seawater changed color, and many small fish swam away quickly. The tentacles of the Indigo Jellyfish gently floated, and they actually touched the seawater dyed by his poisonous breath.

The Indigo Jellyfish’s tentacles visibly changed color before recovering automatically.

The tentacles of the Indigo Jellyfish began to move. Then, layers of spiritual detection energy spread out in all directions and quickly swept across Lei Luo’s body.

Lei Luo hadn’t been sure what it was, but when he saw the Indigo Jellyfish suddenly turn and look in his direction, he knew it was bad.

“I’ve been discovered. Was that an energy detection wave or a spirit detection wave?”

As he recalled the previous fluctuations, Lei Luo did not panic. Instead, he slowly retreated as he floated to the surface of the sea.

Once he was out of the sea, there were no birds in his surroundings that could threaten him.

However, this time, he was here to test the abilities of a Level-5 creature. Thus, Lei Luo was unwilling to retreat directly.

The Indigo Jellyfish moved slowly towards Lei Luo. It was neither fast nor slow, and it was about the same speed as a Level-1 sea fish.

“Perhaps it wanted to numb me. Whatever. Let’s see the power of my poisonous breath.”

Lei Luo’s eyes flashed slightly as he controlled the seawater to directly cover the Indigo Jellyfish. He was too lazy to conceal himself.

As his level increased, Lei Luo’s ability to control his poisonous breath also increased.

His Green and dark red poisonous breath condensed into a line before shooting towards the jellyfish.

“Ang~~~~”

A strange sound came from the Indigo Jellyfish’s body. A blue shield formed, blocking the poisonous breath and increasing its movement speed.

Looking at the Indigo Jellyfish whose speed had doubled, Lei Luo did not dare to face it head-on. He waited until he was almost above the sea before he paused slightly.

Then, the tentacles of the Indigo Jellyfish pierced through the blue shield and attacked Lei Luo.

“I want to see how powerful you guys are!”

Lei Luo added a shield to his dragon claw and slapped it directly at the tentacle.

…

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The surface of the boundless sea rose and fell with the wind. Suddenly, a loud sound came from a calm area of the water.

The seawater rose ten meters into the sky, and huge waves spread out.

Among the waves, a giant green dragon flew into the sky and avoided the blue tentacles that emerged from the seawater from time to time.

This huge dragon that was dodging around was naturally Lei Luo.

He had fought the Indigo Jellyfish head-on at the bottom of the sea. Fortunately, he was cautious and did not fight in the deep sea. Instead, he was not far from the sea.

Otherwise, he might not be able to soar in the sky right now. Instead, he would be thinking about how to save his life at the bottom of the sea..
