Under the Red Dragon.

Chapter 165: Inculcation of Consciousness
The Dragon's Nest Canyon, which is considered a forbidden area in the Dragon Territory, not only houses the largest treasure house in the Dragon Territory, but also has the largest experimental building complex in the Dragon Territory.

Not only does a portion of these experimental building complexes belong to Caron's own laboratories, but half of them also belong to other scholars in the territory and mages loyal to the dragon group.

Some particularly important experiments that need to be kept strictly confidential will be carried out here, or some projects that are not under the jurisdiction of the Department of Magical Integration, such as the "Kings of Knowledge" series of experiments, are carried out here.

In a spacious laboratory, two scholars and several apprentices were surrounding a human with his limbs tied up.

This human was a prisoner, his limbs tied to an instrument that looked like a bed, with marks of shackles visible on them. At this moment, he was staring with fear on his face, breathing rapidly and with eyes wide open, looking at the apprentice who was approaching him with an instrument that looked like a syringe. Unfortunately, the piece of cloth that looked like a smelly sock stuffed in his mouth made it difficult for him to make a sound.

The extremely skilled apprentice injected the bright red potion in the transparent tube into the prisoner's veins, then stepped back to leave space for the two scholar mages who squeezed in.

The two scholar mages stared at the prisoner's reaction, occasionally looking at the instrument used to measure time.

"Uh," the prisoner didn't react at first, but after a while, he suddenly became agitated and struggled continuously. The veins on his body bulged, and his originally frightened eyes became somewhat captivating.

His skin looked like earthworms crawling all over his body, and his originally thin body actually looked fuller under the naked eye.

The chain rings that bound the prisoner's limbs were also pulled and cracked, but these tools used for the experiment were specially made. Even if the prisoner had the strength of a young dragon, it would be impossible for him to break free, not to mention that the prisoner's strength had not been increased so terribly.

"The red blood potion is injected and takes effect in about a quarter of an hour, which is twice as fast as taking it orally," said the observing scholar-mage. However, he did not talk to himself, but asked the apprentice beside him to record the experimental information.

This thin scholar didn't seem to be afraid of the prisoner's increasingly violent struggle. Instead, he pinched the prisoner's skin and bones, detected him with instruments, and occasionally used some small spells to conduct measurements and investigations.

"Skin flexibility doubled, bone hardness increased and continued to change, muscle strength tripled, healing ability increased fivefold, reaction speed nearly doubled, overall physical fitness has changed greatly,"

Another scholar opened the prisoner's eyelids and came to his own conclusion after a series of tests.

"The life changes are not yet stable, but at present, it can increase the life expectancy by about two to five years," the previous scholar said lightly as he put the blood re-drawn from the prisoner into the instrument for observation.

"Bah," At this moment, the prisoner actually used his tongue, which had become more flexible and powerful, to spit out the piece of cloth in his mouth, and cursed loudly: "Damn it, you bitches, you dare to take me... wuwuwu,"

An apprentice quickly stuffed the cloth back into the prisoner's mouth, and the scholar-mage said calmly: "According to the records, if you inject the red blood potion, your temper will become extremely violent!"

After a series of observation tests were completed, one of the scholars took his apprentice to compare the data with the data from previous experiments and then drew conclusions.

"Compared to taking it, injecting the Red Blood Potion directly will bring greater benefits. The only drawback is that your personality will become more irritable than before. Taking the Red Blood Potion will slowly change you. After digestion, your personality won't change drastically."

The scholar leading the experiment nodded and instructed one of the apprentices, "Take this guy away and bring another person over. We are going to try the effect of injecting directly into the heart." The apprentice was a rough-looking teenager. He asked his teacher in confusion, "Isn't there much difference between injecting directly into the body and injecting into the heart? Why waste time and resources on unnecessary attempts?"

The scholar-mage glared at the usually obedient apprentice and said solemnly, "The first principle for scholars to conduct research is to be rigorous. Do not miss any possibility and get the best solution. Copy this sentence a thousand times when you go back."

"Also, tell Lord Gmot that we will soon run out of people for the experiment. We still have green blood, blue blood, and black blood that have not been tested yet. Ask Lord Gmot to send the experimental materials as soon as possible."

……

"Dad, why are you in such a hurry to contact that big guy? Does that big guy owe you gold coins? Once I learn this knowledge, I will help you get it back!"

The World Tree Ovo was very excited during the break. Apart from Charon, this guy was only willing to communicate with the two Titan Pythons living on his body. It was hard to say that this pride was not inherited from Charon.

Karon shook his head, and his pair of thick dragon horns were like the legendary excalibur, shining with a bright light.

"Do you think I'm strong enough, Ovo?"

"You are very powerful, old man! You are almost stronger than a branch of that big guy. Even though that big guy can't move, it is very powerful!"

The World Tree Ovo answered happily. The young World Tree did not look down on the Red Dragon because of this. It was born because of the Red Dragon and was naturally very close to Kalon, so what it said was also true.

Karon could only smile. He did not ask the big guy how many branches he had. Instead, he said gently, "But I am not strong enough, Ovo."

"There are only two kinds of existence in the world, hunters and prey. I want to be the hunter who is always hunting others, and I will never be someone else's prey, or a puppet controlled and influenced by others."

Karon's tone was so firm that the World Tree Ovo also quieted down and listened carefully to his father's unconscious will infection and consciousness infusion.

"You need to learn and digest this knowledge as quickly as possible. I will soon fall into a deep sleep. When I wake up from my deep sleep, it will be the moment for me to truly embark on the road of hunting."

"Until then, Ovo, promise me that you can bypass the restrictions of that big guy and find the world I need on your own!"

"I will try my best, Dad, and I will help you, Ovo promise!" The consciousness of the World Tree cheered for being needed.

Karon patted the body of the World Tree and looked towards the distant sky. There, infinitely far away, was the place where the World Tree cultivated by the ancient magician was.
