I, Who Have Been Reborn as a Poison Dragon, Am Being Persecuted by the World - Chapter 30

After dealing with the problem of poison, Lei Luo waved his hand at the merman priest. “Stay around the island and wait for things to pass. Then, I’ll let you go.”

Just now, Sharbao had unintentionally verbalized the priest’s thoughts. The merman priest was also aware that his behavior was abnormal.

Thus, when he heard this, he did not dare to say anything else. He quickly bowed and returned to the sea.

However, he was still thinking about how to sell Lei Luo off.

Since he had already aroused suspicion, it was only a matter of time before Lei Luo dealt with him. From the merman priest’s point of view, it was better to plan ahead. If he succeeded, then he would be able to obtain countless resources. Even if he didn’t succeed, his death would simply be brought forward.

Meanwhile, Shardin and Shardin looked at the back of the merman priest with sparkling eyes.

Sharbao didn’t hesitate and immediately said, “Great Poison Dragon, there seems to be something wrong with the priest. It was as if I had guessed correctly.”

“We have to be careful of him. If he attracts humans, we’ll be in trouble.”

He and Shardin were already bound to Lei Luo. Once the merman priest succeeded, not only would Lei Luo suffer, but their fates would not be good either.

Lei Luo did not reply. It was still useful to keep the merman priest around as he would need the Merman Race to work for him in the future. He could also do it through Sharbao, but Sharbao was forcefully promoted to the position of the tribe leader and could not be guaranteed to do well.

Moreover, any race would hide their secrets or hidden treasures. Only a few people knew about them, so these people could be considered the essence of the race.

The person most likely to know about these was the merman priest. Since this was the case, he had to keep him alive.

“Just wait till I get the Memory Extraction Spell of my race. Then, I’ll see how you can still jump around.” Lei Luo glanced at Sharbao and Shardin, feeling very superior.

After controlling the Merman Race, he had two goals.

Firstly, he wanted to gather information about humans, including the composition of human kingdoms and their various powers.

Secondly, he wanted to obtain the secrets and treasures of the Merman Race.

However, the descendants of the human nobles had entered the sea. There were people from the Mage Union who had come to this island as well. For safety reasons, they should change locations.

With this thought, Lei Luo said casually, “Shardin, go to a remote area and find a few islands suitable for living. Draw a topographic map and hand it to me. I’ll give you ten days. When the time is up, report back to me regardless of the results.”

“Sharbao, go and watch over the merman priest. You know what to do.”

Shardin and Sharbao said at the same time, “Alright, we’ll go now.”

After dismissing them, Lei Luo rose and flew to the mouth of the extinct volcano. Standing above, he could see the bottom of the volcano.

Among them, the heart-shaped Earth Core Lava was no longer as eye-catching as before. Instead, it was a little dim, and it was immediately outshone by the surrounding ores. However, Lei Luo knew that this was just an illusion.

This was a manifestation of the Level-4 Earth Core Lava. It had advanced.

“It’s still a little risky for me to eat it with my current physical strength. I can give it a try once I enter Level-3. I’ll eat the ore beside it first.”

Lei Luo hesitated for a moment before finally setting his sights on the ore beside the Earth Core Lava.

Within volcanoes, lava was the most common, followed by flint.

Leaning against the edge of the volcano, Lei Luo carefully reached the bottom of the volcano. He held his breath and used his two front claws to scoop up four pieces of Level-3 flints before hurriedly walking up.

When Lei Luo was out of the volcano, he quickly threw the flint to the ground.

In just a short period of time, his claws began to burn. Fortunately, he didn’t let the flint stick to his flesh.

Lei Luo dug a small hole and threw two pieces of flint into it before burying them. Then, he watered them.

This would reduce the heat around the flint, but would not damage its quality.

However, if he watered them directly, a piece of Level-3 flint might become a piece of Level-2 flint.

Feeling that it was about time, Lei Luo took out the two pieces of flint and swallowed them without hesitation. At the same time, he activated his bloodline talent and synthesized the characteristics.

The two pieces of flint turned into a gaseous state. They swam about his body, bringing about traces of heat.

Lei Luo skillfully began to extract the characteristics of the two pieces of flint.

Two hours later, the characteristic extraction was completed. Perhaps it was because he had used two pieces of flint, but among the four characteristics that were extracted, there were two identical pairs of characteristics.

They were [Dark Flame] and [High Temperature] respectively.

Raelo had obtained the High Temperature characteristic before, but considering that the island was surrounded by seawater and there would be conflict at the bottom of the sea, he did not choose it. Instead, he fused the Fire Poison characteristic into his poisonous breath.

However, it was different now. While he did not want the High Temperature characteristic on its own, it was very suitable when paired with the Dark Flame characteristic.

The Dark Flame characteristic didn’t have any offensive capabilities. Its characteristic was to shrink one’s power and prevent one’s power from being affected by the environment.

When the High Temperature characteristic was integrated with the Dark Flame characteristic, it would only erupt after coming into contact with the target. Before that, it wouldn’t be damaged by the external environment.

Thus, even in the sea, this characteristic could perform very well.

When the High Temperature characteristic was used on its own in the sea, it would first evaporate part of the seawater. The process of evaporation would result in damage to the attack. When the attack was dealt to the enemy, its power would also be greatly reduced. Furthermore, if the attack was completely exhausted midway, the attack would automatically lose its effect. Thus, it was a very useless ability in the sea environment.

However, with the Dark Flame characteristic, the High Temperature characteristic would be completely developed. Furthermore, it could also be put to good use on the shore.

When the enemy was bent on withstanding Lei Luo’s poison, he could simply explode with the High Temperature characteristic. This was definitely a good characteristic for sneak attacks.

“This is a good characteristic. Luck is finally on my side.”

Lei Luo grinned and chose to fuse the two characteristics at the same time without hesitation.

With the addition of the [Dark Flame] and [High Temperature] characteristics, the power of his poisonous breath had more than doubled. He could now try to poison a Level-5 sea beast.

Once he conjured this thought, it was hard to extinguish immediately.

“F*ck. Anyway, there’s still an Amethyst Cloud Fruit that I haven’t used. If I really can’t win, I can eat it and use it to escape.”

Lei Luo gritted his teeth and soared into the air, flying towards the area where Level-5 sea beasts were found.

This time, when he encountered the Indigo Jellyfish, the Dark Flame and the High Temperature characteristics would definitely give it a surprise!

Filled with anticipation, Lei Luo arrived at the area where the Level-5 Sea Beasts roamed. He sank to the bottom of the sea and began to search for his target.

Sea beasts were different from terrestrial creatures. They rarely had any concept of territory. They usually moved according to the concentration of energy present in an area.

After squatting for two hours, Lei Luo chose his target, a Level-5 King Crab.

This fellow’s attack power was very strong. Even if Lei Luo had the physical body of a dragon, he did not want to be caught by its pincers. However, even though the King Crab was strong, its speed was not good. It was also not a species that lived in groups. Once it was agitated to the point of going crazy, it would be easier to escape.

The Indigo Jellyfish he had chosen last time was not good enough. It was resistant to poison and was fast. It also had the help of its race.

Lei Luo looked around and spat out his poisonous breath from a distance. Then, he controlled the poisonous breath to surround his target.

Perhaps due to the addition of two new characteristics, the originally green poisonous breath turned dark. It looked a little heavy in the sea, but its aura was restrained.

When the poisonous breath was five meters behind the King Crab, it sensed something and slowly turned around.

However, before it could react, the hood of poisonous breath descended..
