Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 112

Using the crystal core as the core, combined with the original body parts, Zhong Liuxiu can perfectly create a Yellow-edged Gold-devouring Turtle whose flesh and blood have been replaced with the same level of metal.

To deal with the two golden lion mastiffs of the city lord's mansion, the first choice naturally had to be the thick-skinned Yellow-edged Golden-devouring Turtle as the vanguard. Sure enough, as soon as it entered, a burst of Tribulation Flame Dragon Fire at the peak of the Saint Realm sent the Yellow-edged Golden-devouring Turtle flying!

The damage was enough to roast the Yellow-margined Box Turtle; if it had been a living turtle, it would probably be a braised tortoise by now. But Zhong Liuxiu transformed its original flesh entirely into metal.

Under the impact of the Silver Fire Dragon's Calamity Flame Mechanism, the Yellow-edged Gold-devouring Turtle, which was being forged, developed dazzling patterns on its shell and body.

The breath of the Silverfire Dragon is excellent for forging metals. Qin He and his group were prepared for this, first throwing out the magical interference lightning they had created.

After blocking the mechanism that was spewing dragon breath, Fei Xue's body crackled with electricity. She then plunged into the gold and silver jewel-paved floor tiles of the city lord's mansion.

Although the kitten crashed into the treasure and burned through a lot of it, the silver fire dragon breath she brought back was far more useful than the things at the entrance.

Having destroyed the dragon's breath mechanism at the entrance, Fei Xue, her body enveloped in purple lightning, wreaked havoc throughout the underground of the dragon's nest.

With her speed, even if she encounters a magic circle that cannot be dismantled, she can retreat immediately.

At the same time, the commotion of the dragon flame erupting at the entrance and the Yellow-margined Golden-Eating Turtle being blown away successfully attracted the attention of the two Golden Lion Mastiffs.

These two ferocious giant mastiffs, just like real lions, immediately slammed their heavy claws down on the yellow-margined box turtle.

Despite its peak ninth-tier status and entirely metallic body, the Yellow-margined Gold-Eating Turtle's prized shell nearly cracked under this blow.

"Do you need me to take action?"

After being caught and thoroughly beaten by Qin He, Garuda is now fully capable of unleashing the strength of a mid-stage Saint to fight his enemies, provided that the venom does not affect him.

Dealing with two golden lion mastiffs not only provides a certain degree of suppression in terms of bloodline, but also prolongs the fight.

For Garuda, the way Qin He had tossed and turned him around was truly humiliating. If he could restrain the Golden Lion Mastiff, perhaps he could salvage some of his image in Qin He's eyes.

"Being not."

In the distance, Qin He had already refined the ninth-tier peak silver dragon core, advancing to the eighth-tier peak. Now—

He was about to use his most vicious venom, combined with the Hundred-Refined Divine Spear in his hand, which was fused with Nidhogg's Bite, to try and kill the two watchdogs.

He wanted to test how well he could handle being attacked by these two dogs.

First of all, the golden dragon scale armor was still on him. This was to give him as much room for error as possible when challenging opponents at the peak of the Saint realm.

With a swift leap, Qin He swung his spear straight forward, using the surrounding Yellow-edged Golden-devouring Tortoise as a springboard to enter the battle.

Sensing the cold killing intent of the newcomer, one of the golden lion mastiffs immediately opened its mouth and pounced, intending to chew Qin He to pieces and swallow him whole.

But Qin He, who possessed the Wu Shi technique and whose martial arts had progressed to a level that was incomparable to before, was not afraid of this attack that exposed a wide opening.

With Nidhogg's Bite's god-level strength and absolute sharpness, let alone two mere golden lion-mastiffs at the peak of sainthood, even a ferocious beast at the god-level lying in front of Qin He could bleed it open and dissect it.

With just one swipe, Qin He had already drawn blood from the golden lion mastiff's heavy claws!

The venom of that shot was so deadly that even the blood that had just flown away immediately corroded and dissolved upon landing! The venom Qin He was using now was definitely dozens of times stronger than the one that had killed the Sword Armored Dragon.

Chapter 171 Electronic Dragon, Activate!

Having successfully ambushed one of the golden lion mastiffs, Qin He was quite satisfied with his achievement.

The speed of the golden lion mastiff's claw strikes was indeed astonishing. Qin He could only passively extend the tip of his spear to meet the attack in the trajectory of the mastiff's claw strikes.

As it turned out, Qin He's decision was quite correct.

Relying on the resilience and shock-absorbing properties of the World Tree branch in the spear shaft, combined with the deadly sharpness of Nidhogg's Devourer at the spear tip, he successfully slashed through the golden lion's claws during the attack.

The wounded golden lion-mastiff had its eyes blazing with a blood-red light, and in its frenzy, its body shone even brighter.

The poison previously used to kill the Saber Armored Dragon was designed to make it attack wildly indiscriminately, friend or foe, without killing it immediately.

This time, Qin He planned to use himself and Zhong Liuxiu to experiment with Nidhogg's Bite, creating a brand-new toxin that could eventually be put into actual combat!

What's making the Golden Lion Mastiff shine so brightly now is Qin He's Limitless Poison, which intensifies bloodline power and causes the bloodline of magical beasts to revert to its ancestral state.

After being poisoned, the Golden Lion Mastiff's bloodline began to transform... and the inheritance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately appeared in its demon core!

Awakening its bloodline, the lion mastiff's most basic biological form was altered by the potent poison. It gradually transformed from its initial mastiff appearance, showing a tendency to resemble a three-eyed golden lion.

"Roar—! What...what kind of power is this?"

The poisoned mastiff immediately lay down, too afraid to move. Although it didn't know what kind of power it was, at this crucial moment of bloodline evolution, it couldn't afford to be careless!

Seeing this, the other golden lion-mastiff became less wary and more greedy towards the spear in Qin He's hand, which was capable of slashing those at the peak of the Saint realm...

"Silver Dragon! What weapon are you using? Why have my sisters suddenly had their bloodlines activated?"

Knowing that the two "leftover" guard dogs would be interested in this, Qin He used the Golden Lion Mastiff's question to deceive them:

"Heh, what good would it do to tell you? This is the Divine Blessing Ancestral Blade Spear that can awaken bloodlines. Once you pierce your skin with it, you'll have the chance to enhance your bloodline."

"If you make the slightest move during this time, you will lose this opportunity for your bloodline! If I pierce you... then unless you are willing to risk failing in your evolution and exploding to stop me, otherwise—"

"All the treasures inside this dragon's nest will belong to me."

After speaking, Qin He unleashed his dragon might. That incredibly pure dragon might instantly intimidated the two golden lion mastiffs!

They were even more certain that even the master of this dragon's nest, those two powerful peak-level Saint-level Silver Fire Dragons, could not unleash such a powerful dragon might!

Moreover, the golden lion mastiff that was poisoned also genuinely shed its original appearance and resembled a three-eyed golden lion!

Aside from the weapon names, Qin He spoke the truth in every word, yet every word concealed a deception.

If both golden lion mastiffs are indeed stabbed, in order to enhance their ancestral bloodline, they will definitely stand still and let Qin He seize the treasure.

If Qin He's purpose in coming here was only for the key, then perhaps the two lion-mastiffs could actually gain the opportunity to possess the bloodline of the three-eyed golden lion or even the golden lion beast.

Unfortunately, Qin He's actions were solely for the purpose of obtaining higher-quality magic cores. Even if he successfully transformed the two watchdogs into three-eyed golden lions, their magic cores would be several levels higher in quality.

If they could seize that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become true golden lion beasts, then eliminating them would be a risk-free and highly profitable business.

Unable to resist the temptation of ancestral bloodline reversion, because the Golden Lion Mastiffs knew... their bloodline came from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion! If they continued down the path of ancestral reversion, they would have a better chance of seizing the opportunity to transform into a Golden Lion Beast!

A Golden Lion Beast—what does that even mean? It's a true peak-level magical beast. Once it reaches a certain age... it becomes a true Suanni divine beast!

Therefore, even if it suffers the excruciating pain of being devoured by the poison, the poisoned golden lion mastiff considers it the price of rebirth and a transformation of its bloodline.

Seeing its companion's bloodline evolve, the uninjured golden lion-mastiff also became envious. Ultimately... they were indeed willing to fight to protect the treasure here.

But what does risking one's life for the Silver Rathalos matter compared to this opportunity to ascend to the heavens?!

"Silver Dragon, if you're truly not afraid of causing trouble, you can take any of the treasures here! If you help us evolve our bloodline, then you will be our eternal benefactor and master."

"However, the city lord residing here is extremely ferocious towards silver fire dragons. It's not something a peak eighth-tier silver dragon like you can afford to offend... so—"

"Please use the tip of your spear to stab me as well. Let's both purify our bloodlines so that we can handle the Silver Rathalos's pursuit with ease."

As he spoke, the golden lion-mastiff also lay down, waiting for Qin He to thrust the spear tip into it. After all, for their magnificent bodies, being pierced by a spear tip the size of a palm was no different than being poked by a needle.

"Fine~ But why should I trust you? Once your bloodline is purified, you might just turn around and kill me to steal my treasure—"

Qin He wouldn't agree so easily; it would be terrible if those two watchdogs became suspicious.

"...That silver fire dragon captured us and made us guard dogs here. We never see the light of day and are incredibly depressed. If we followed you, at least we wouldn't have to be dogs."

"What do you think, my benefactor?"

Seeing that the Golden Lion Mastiff truly believed it, he couldn't resist the temptation of bloodline evolution.

Qin He slowly approached... Even if this watchdog turned on him, he could withstand it with his golden dragon scale armor.

By piercing the golden lion-mastiff's claws, Qin He simultaneously caused both golden lion-mastiffs to begin their transformation. This ancestral regression of their bloodline would not stop until they reached the maximum limit of their inherent potential.

They'd already decided that the poison would take effect the instant their atavistic evolution process ended. Even if they could withstand Qin He's poison for a few seconds, it wouldn't matter!

Because now, the split-up Scarlet Snow has melted the ground of the dragon's nest. Like gophers, it's poking its head out from the vast pile of gold and silver treasure behind it.

When Qin He saw Fei Xue with the key on her head, he secretly smiled with pride.

Qin He was ahead, able to unleash a peak Saint-level attack at any time using the Platinum Tiger Slash equipped with the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl.

Behind it is a single-core driven electronic final dragon, which can devour the treasures in the dragon's nest and then use its sub-machines to ensure its continued operation.

Furthermore, the unstable supernatural powers and toxins that come with the advancement of bloodline further contribute to the damage, giving Qin He every reason to believe that these two watchdogs are doomed to die.

Even if they are the worst off after being poisoned by Qin He, they are absolutely certain that they will transform into three-eyed golden lions.

If they can transform into three-eyed golden lions, this deal will already be incredibly profitable. As for having these two watchdogs transform into golden lion beasts—that's something only someone with immense luck like Qin He would dare to gamble on.

The final result will only be profit, and a huge profit! Even now, if those two silver fire dragons immediately come back, Qin He has enough trump cards to deal with them.

As an alchemical tool, the Platinum Tiger Slash is very convenient because it can be worn as a glove.

The jade-blue claws, concealing the Yin-Yang Dragon Pearl, were ready to deliver a fatal blow to the two greedy and vicious dogs at any moment.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, Fei Xue brought back the third key. After Zhong Liuxiu and Elulu completed the unlocking of the Electronic Final Dragon's permissions, this most powerful pseudo-dragon, possessing immense potential for future growth, was born!

"Level 1 privilege holders detected! Qin He, Zhong Liuxiu, Ai Lulu! Key unlocking complete."

"Electronic Final Dragon, No. 16000! Launch!"

While the Electronic Final Dragon remained in its spatial scales, Zhong Liuxiu was on the other side of the City Lord's Mansion, ready to assist Qin He at any moment. Prior to this, she had also given the Electronic Final Dragon many magic cores for the mass production of its sub-machines.

……

Qin He slowly used his spatial scales to collect the treasures from inside the dragon's nest, bit by bit. Soon, the two golden lion-mastiffs transformed into three-eyed golden lions!

As expected, their potential was not exhausted. They could continue to advance towards the bloodline of the Golden Lion Beast.

If others were to see this, they would never believe that these two mountain-sized golden lions were transformed from mastiffs. In the process of this evolution, their original lion-mastiff bloodline was completely covered and transformed by the inheritance of the three-eyed golden lion.

Even after fully transforming into three-eyed golden lions, they were still not satisfied. After all, taking just a few more steps on the path of bloodline evolution meant a lifetime of improvement!

At the same time, Qin He's Platinum Tiger Slash was ready to be activated at any moment. Zhong Liuxiu even reported to him telepathically from afar:

"Honey, everything's fine now~ The Electronic Final Dragon is ready to go at any time."

well.

Even if the King of Heaven himself came, these two dogs would still obediently be skinned alive.

"Roar--!!!"

The roars and howls echoed throughout the city lord's mansion, causing the magnificent treasures inside to scatter. After collecting everything within sight, Qin He obtained about ten storage rings.

It seems the Silverfire Dragon has learned its lesson; its lair contains over a dozen peak-level ninth-tier magic cores, and many more below that. But none have reached the Saint-level…

But it doesn't matter. Qin He already had a fortune from the dragon crystals he amassed from the Silverfire Dragon's lair. Not to mention the amethysts, gold coins, and the like.

Qin He acquired quite a few interesting weapons. He'll make plans for them once he gets back.

Looking back at the two golden lions, it's unclear whether it was due to the good fortune of Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu, or whether they truly possessed the potential to transform into divine beasts.

In short, the impossible transformation actually occurred in two magical beasts that went from mastiffs to lions and even wanted to become lions!

"Roar... Roar...! Break!"

They were getting closer; the two golden lions were about to break through the shackles of their bloodline and reach the height of the golden lion beast! At the same time, a murderous glint flashed in their eyes.

After all, treasures like these, capable of enhancing bloodlines and achieving ancestral reversion, are only in the hands of Qin He, a peak eighth-tier cultivator. If they don't snatch it... they'd truly be fools.

"Heaven is helping me!"

To leap into the blood of a lion-like beast with the body of a mastiff is a rebellious act that will naturally invite divine calamity.

The lightning tribulation from the two golden lion beasts was enough to weaken them while also tearing apart the magnificent building that served as the city lord's mansion!

With a deafening roar, the two weakened golden lion beasts, weakened by the lightning tribulation, were immediately attacked by venomous liquid!

"Wh...what? This bloodline transformation...is actually caused by an undetectable poison?!"

"That's right, the very blood and bones of you Golden Lion Beasts. Now they're at my disposal~ Go down and meet Heraheim obediently, you watchdog..."

At that moment, Qin He's Platinum Tiger Slash, in conjunction with the Electronic End Dragon behind him, swarmed forward!

Qin He's claws flashed with sharp light, precisely sealing the golden lion beast's throat.

Under Qin He's command, the Electronic Final Dragon used its giant steel claws to knock down the two Lion Beasts, and then took the place of the Lion Beasts, which were already dying from poison, to undergo the tribulation of lightning!

The venom saved Qin He from the possibility of war, and he directly took down the two lion beasts.

For Cyberdragon, a metallic pseudo-dragon with the potential to grow, the lightning tribulation is its first meal after its official activation.

Having made this profit, Qin He's plan was a perfect success.

Chapter 172 Are you good at yelling?

In a canyon in the far north.

"Damn it! That Silver Dragon Qin He actually emptied our city lord's mansion! I'm going to kill him!"

Through the magic array monitoring method, the two silver fire dragons took in the entire situation, including the Golden Lion Mastiff being tricked and killed, and the Electronic Final Dragon being fully activated.
