I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 395 Enrichment and Vaccines

"Oh my god..." Angost couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Ganon looked around calmly and found that the other purple dragons did not react in a panic because their "companions" were preyed upon by the Blue Dragon King. Instead, they continued to focus on the ruins and buildings in the lair, excitedly chasing those that had been transformed. A bloody human being.

It was as if the Blue Dragon King Grendel held a monster-cannibalistic hunting party in his lair. Whether it was the purple dragon preying on mutated humans or the Blue Dragon King preying on the purple dragon, they were all part of this party, and no one participated. The person feels something is wrong.

Even the transformed humans were the same. Although they were desperately trying to escape out of survival instinct, Ganon found that they had no intention of escaping from this lair.

The hole leading outside the lair was large enough for the ancient dragon to pass through. It was very conspicuous as the only entrance to the lair. However, Ganon saw these mutated humans pass by the path leading to the cave entrance several times, but they did not rush at all. past.

Has their sanity collapsed, or is there some invisible force preventing them from leaving?

Ganonn silently crawled towards the center of the lair while thinking.

"Don't even think about stealing anything from here." Angst reminded.

"I'm not that stupid," Ganon replied.

True dragons are extremely sensitive to changes in treasures in their lairs, and stealing each other's treasures is the most risky approach.

Moreover, the essence of the assassin's concealment ability is actually to eliminate the sense of existence. Once the assassin interferes with external things, the concealment effect will be weakened to varying degrees, and the possibility of being detected will become higher. The same is true for blessings. Risking being detected The risk of discovery to steal that little treasure is simply unreasonable.

Moreover, the most precious treasure in this lair is probably impossible to steal.

Ganon was sneaking and looking in the direction of the Blue Dragon King who was eating.

This was the first time he had seen the old blue dragon with his own eyes. In the Blue Dragon King, he saw at least four accessories that had value beyond conventional values.

The first is the Tyrant's Ring mentioned by Angost, and then there is an artifact on each of the two horns. He seems to have made some carvings on his horns, and then embedded some precious decorations with molten gold. Pin it on top. On the left corner is a short staff made of precious stones, and on the right corner is an extremely exquisite sword.

As he swung his long tail leisurely, Ganon noticed that the end of his tail was wrapped with chains of various precious metals, one of which contained artifact-level value.

Ganon has no doubt that these are high-level, even supreme-level artifacts, and the Blue Dragon King has enough strength to bring out the effectiveness of these artifacts.

In the past, he could only indirectly understand Glendale's strength from side information: Glendale controlled two ancient dragons, forcibly won over thirty real dragons to form the Dragon Ascension Nest, and established a cult that worshiped him. , the dark elf who dominates Nitrilan - a series of information obtained from Angst, Anya and Dolan Sloane show how powerful he is.

Now he can truly feel that the body of this ancient dragon has indeed exceeded its limit. He himself has now officially grown to the stage of an ancient dragon. This is almost the limit that dragons can grow, but the body of the Blue Dragon King is larger than the ancient dragon. He will be several times bigger, and his body length will be close to 1.5 times that of him, like a real mountain.

It is conceivable that his strength is directly proportional to this physique. Without blessing, he will definitely be completely crushed by the opponent in a hand-to-hand fight, just like an ancient dragon killing an adult dragon as easily.

Theoretically speaking, the lifespan of a real dragon is two thousand years. Some people say that the limit is three thousand years, but no dragon can live to that age.

It takes one thousand two hundred years to reach the stage of the ancient dragon. After that, there will be slight growth. But after one thousand five hundred years, the real dragon will not have any growth. In terms of physical condition, it will gradually age. For dragons, the 1,200-year-old ancient dragon stage is actually not the end of old age compared to humans, but the peak of the body before it begins to age.

Previous descriptions by Dolan Sloane and Clareg pointed out that the Blue Dragon King had long shown signs of decline, and that he was well over fifteen hundred years old.

But now, in Ganon's eyes, those signs of decline have completely disappeared. He has returned to youth, but as a price, the scales on his body have turned into mottled purple, those purple patches described by Dolan Sloane, It increased a lot all at once. "The mutation in the Blue Dragon King is accelerating. Is it related to this strange ritual?" Angst also noticed this.

"Enrichment effect." Ganon suddenly said.

"What the hell?" Angst had never heard of this term before and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Mutated humans and purple dragons have some kind of substance or energy that promotes mutation. The purple dragon preys on humans in large quantities, and these energy or substances will be concentrated in his body. Then the blue dragon king will prey on these purple dragons, so that he can be most efficient. The earth absorbs these materials and energy," Ganouen explained.

Just like what he had learned in another world, pollutants entering the environment would be enriched into the bodies of top predators layer by layer along the food chain. He guessed that the Blue Dragon King was also using this form to convert mutated substances or Focus energy on yourself.

"If that's the case, I feel that his current work seems to be a bit petty. He can transform all the city-states in the northwest, as well as Nitrilan, and even the entire Dragon Ascension Nest, and then eat them all himself." An said Gerst.

"There is a price to bear the mutation. These purple dragons cannot speak normally, and their mental state is also very problematic." Ganon shook his head, "This form may also be to allow him to accept this mutation more safely. , and the dosage must be controlled.”

He thought that the preparation of some vaccines and anti-venom serum relies on injecting infection sources or toxic substances into animals, and then extracting the weakened infection sources and antibodies from the animals. Simply put, animals are sacrificed to filter out the toxicity.

Maybe the Blue Dragon King is using a similar technique, using these humans and purple dragons to filter out some of the negative effects of this mutation.

As the top of the food chain, the Blue Dragon King seemed to have the least negative impact, but even so, his temperament still showed obvious changes.

But what Ganon is most concerned about is actually not the Blue Dragon King, but the existence in the pit of the ruins - that is the source of the mutation that the Blue Dragon King is spreading.

"Hey, are you really planning to get close to that thing?" Angst noticed Ganon's purpose and asked a little uneasily.

"Of course we have to take a look. This is our main purpose. If you had taken a look last time, maybe we wouldn't have to go to such trouble this time." Ganon said. At this time, they had already approached the pothole. You can see many priestesses in robes busy around the pit.

Ganon recognized at a glance that these guys were exactly the same as the fake Baphomet seen in the Principality of Xihe. They were busy pushing the tied living people into the pit, and some were working together to carry the lavender dragon. Egg.

"Didn't I already tell you the reason? Listen, that sounds like an excuse, but I really felt something was wrong there, and I still do. That thing is definitely dangerous, even just looking at it! "Angst persuaded seriously.

The last time Angst sneaked into the Blue Dragon King's lair, she wanted to take a look at what was in the pit.

But as she approached the pothole, an unprecedented coldness enveloped her whole body, and the strong sense of crisis made her quickly give up this idea.

She trusted her instinct as an assassin, which saved her countless times.

"Then it's even more important to figure it out." Ganon didn't stop, "If you're afraid, you can stay away first."

If they don't understand what is behind the Blue Dragon King, the uneasiness caused by the unknown will always linger in their hearts, and when the real crisis of that thing is revealed, this ignorance will make them unable to deal with it. .

With this thought in mind, Ganon approached the edge of the pit.
