As soon as the deep crimson blood appeared in the air, a faint pressure was released. An ancient aura vibrated, drawing the surrounding high-temperature air to form a cyclone spiraling up around the dragon blood.
This pressure had no effect on Lyle, but it could form a strong mental deterrent for ordinary creatures.
Lyle watched the gradually forming high-temperature cyclone and expressionlessly waved his arm in a strike.
*Bang*!
The fierce force hit the air with a dull boom, and the forming high-temperature air cyclone was directly slapped apart by this force.
Lyle casually put away his clothes and jumped into the dragon blood to soak. During that night he spent in Carne Village—
He hadn't really stayed in their village, but had similarly used Teleportation magic to return to the Lava Zone to soak in dragon blood.
He had experimented over the past few days and already had a basic understanding of the dragon blood's effects.
Drinking dragon blood would increase certain attributes.
While soaking in dragon blood would grant a corresponding increase in resistance.
For example, after these two or three days of soaking:
"Poison Attribute: Faint Resistance" had evolved into "Poison Resistance I."
...
Passive: Poison Resistance I
Effect: Suitable for resisting low-level toxicity (≈ less than Lv 20).
...
Lyle slightly closed his eyes, soaking his entire body in the dragon blood with only his head exposed. The thick smell of blood assaulted his nostrils, making him frown slightly.
Compared to the increased "Poison Resistance" ability, a mere unpleasant smell was clearly bearable.
Since dragon blood was no ordinary blood, even though its owner, the Ancient Fire Dragon, was dead, the blood still contained a unique power.
Ordinary objects simply could not contain this power.
Lyle could only carve out a large Rock from the mountain walls around the Lava Zone and fashion it into a simple stone tub to hold the blood.
Time passed bit by bit.
The dragon blood in the stone hollow, which was originally somewhat thick and emitted a crimson glow, had noticeably paled, and even its level had dropped by about half a fist's distance.
Soon.
Lyle opened his eyes and leaped lightly out of the hollow. His skin was completely flushed, covered in red marks.
Regarding this.
Lyle didn't care; instead, he waved his hand to put the Rock into his Inventory and looked at his Status Panel: "'Poison Resistance' hasn't continued to strengthen."
"As expected, just like drinking the blood, there's a limit. However, since there are still red marks on my body, there should still be some effect."
The effect of "Dragon Blood" wasn't just increasing "Poison Resistance"; it could also increase "Fire Resistance."
However, Lyle had already obtained "Fire Immunity," so this effect from the dragon blood couldn't manifest.
"What a pity, the Solar Anglerfish's blood can't increase attributes." Lyle recalled drinking the Solar Anglerfish's blood a few days ago, and his mouth twitched subconsciously.
"Dragon Blood" was already hard enough to drink, but the Solar Anglerfish's blood was even worse; its foul smell was several times stronger than that of the "Dragon Blood."
"Is it because the dragon blood has already increased the base stats, so the Solar Anglerfish's blood can no longer add to them?"
Lyle also had this suspicion in his heart, but he couldn't be certain.
Based on the experiments conducted with the Ghost Hound, ordinary creatures could not directly consume either "Dragon Blood" or "Solar Anglerfish Blood."
"Dragon Blood" contained a curse.
"Solar Anglerfish Blood" contained a heat similar to lava.
He waited for a moment.
Lyle observed the red marks on his body. After they had all faded, the mana within his body surged.
"Flight!"
His figure rose into the air.
Lyle flew into mid-air, quickly changed his clothes, and began to continue probing the mountain walls around the Lava Zone.
He was looking for the Ancient Fire Dragon's cave. There must be a large number of treasures in its lair, but a dragon's lair was clearly not easy to find.
Lyle could only use the clumsy method of searching bit by bit. This was unavoidable, as he currently hadn't mastered any good exploration-type magic.
Speaking of which.
Lyle had always been very interested in the other ruler, but during his searches in this period, he had never discovered its existence.
After carefully checking this area and finding nothing, Lyle pulled out his pocket watch to check the time: "It's time to go back."
"Greater Teleportation."
Space distorted.
In an instant, Lyle returned to his room at the inn in E-Rantel.
At this moment, the two who had gone to buy supplies had already returned.
In the empty corridor, the Emerald Leaf Witch stood quietly outside the door of Lyle's room, looking like a servant guarding the door.
As a surge of mana appeared inside the room.
The Emerald Leaf Witch, carrying bundles in her hands, then walked to the door and lightly knocked.
