Watching the girl's porcelain-like skin gradually turn rosy, and the dark veins like small snakes slowly subside, one could still see the faint pain between her brows.

One can imagine the intense pain this girl endured when she suffered the backlash from the dragon's blood. Yet, throughout it all, Erii showed no signs of discomfort.

While Lin Ye was fighting the dragon-shaped dead servant in the toilet, the girl's eyes were full of determination, and she did not become a burden at all.

Only after Lin Ye completely dealt with the dragon-shaped dead servant did the girl, who had been corrupted by dragon blood, finally fall into a deep sleep.

"fool……"

Lin Ye placed Erii's hand to his lips and murmured softly.

He was deeply moved by everything the girl did. Erii wasn't stupid at all; she just didn't know how to express it. Instead, she kept her deep love hidden in her heart until he looked back and realized that everything this silly girl had done was so heartwarming and touching.

Just like that toy rubber duck, the girl secretly wrote "Erii no Hayashi Yoru" on the bottom. Obviously, this little rubber duck belongs to the two of them. It is like Erii and Hayashi Yoru's exclusive world, where they love each other deeply and no one else can share this love.

"How is Erii's physical condition now?" Genji asked in a deep voice.

The head of the medical team frowned and reported, "Young Master, the backlash from the dragon blood in Miss Erii's body is too severe this time. In addition, the forced use of bloodline power has caused the dragon blood to become deeply violent. Now, not only her body, but also Miss Erii's spirit has been severely impacted."

Even if the physical imbalances can be reversed, the mental state will require further adjustment. The coma may last longer, and even if the person wakes up soon, their mental state will be very poor.

"How can we eliminate this effect?" Genji asked, frowning.

He knew, of course, what it meant for Erii's mental state to deteriorate; if that happened, the chances of her losing control in the future would become much greater.

The head of the medical team pondered for a moment, "We need a higher-grade serum. With this serum, we can not only cure Ms. Erii's current symptoms, but also stabilize her bloodline for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Genjiro fell into deep thought.

If the Snake-Headed Eight Family could have developed a higher-level serum, they would have used it on Eri's clothes long ago, instead of waiting until now.

When will she wake up?

Lin Ye spoke.

Knowing the relationship between Lin Ye and Erii, the head of the medical team dared not be negligent. "It will probably take three days, or a week. The raging dragon blood is constantly raging in Miss Erii's body, and we must completely calm this disorder down."

"You guys should step back first."

After a moment of silence, Genji said in a deep voice.

"Hai!"

As the medical team members left, the isolation room fell silent once more, with only the beeping of medical equipment.

"I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of Erii." Lin Ye's face was full of bitterness.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhisheng surprisingly did not get angry. Instead, he said with a sigh, "In that situation, you did more than enough. Lin Ye, I don't blame you. I even have to thank you."

"Thank me?" Lin Ye was slightly taken aback.

Genjiro nodded solemnly, "Because of your presence during this time, Erii has smiled more than she has in all the previous years combined. I can feel her heartfelt happiness, which even I, her closest brother, cannot achieve."

Actually, I've been quite jealous of you lately, being able to leave such a deep impression on Erii in such a short time.

Lin Ye shook his head, looking affectionately at the girl sleeping on the bed, "But what can I do? Erii is in a coma now, and I am powerless to help her."

"No, I, as her older brother, have failed her even more. I've always been controlling and isolating her, and I've been presumptuous enough to think that everything I'm doing is for her own good. But in reality, I'm the one who hurt her the most. Now Erii needs help, but I can't help her recover quickly."

However, I will mobilize all the resources of the family to obtain a higher-grade serum as quickly as possible so that Erii can recover soon.

Lin Ye did not speak.

He could vaguely guess some of it.

If the so-called serum comes from Deadpool fetuses, then a more advanced serum would likely require more advanced dragons as materials.

In the original Dragon Raja manga, there is indeed a sacred dragon relic in the Tama River area outside Tokyo. It is also known as a god. It came from Takamagahara deep in the trench, passed through an underground river, and finally flowed into the so-called Akagi River, where the god was hatching.

It is also known as the Red Well, the place of all tragedy.

Erii, Genjiro, and Genjiro all died there and never came out again.

If Lin Ye were to rashly reveal this place, it would only hasten Herzog's plan to become a god, and Erii would then be plunged into an even greater crisis.

Lin Ye was absolutely willing to give his life to protect Erii, but capturing the Holy Relic and refining the high-grade serum were not things that could be solved simply by being brave. With Lin Ye's current strength, he had to exert almost all his strength to deal with a dragon-shaped Death Servant, but Herzog and the Death Servant Legion were a real frenzy.

Therefore, he absolutely cannot reveal the location of the Holy Remains, at least not now.

"Perhaps I can offer some help..."

An aged yet gentle voice came from the doorway of the secret room.

Lin Ye turned his head to look, and a dangerous arc appeared in his dark eyes.

Chapter 73 Hunting Plan

Dark clouds over the city.

Although the storm has subsided, massive cumulonimbus clouds, like a giant bowl overturned over the entire city of Tokyo, are brewing a new storm.

Genji Heavy Industries, Xingshen Temple.

It's called a temple, but it's actually an open-air platform hidden inside this skyscraper. Above is a sky full of dark clouds, underfoot are bluestone slabs, surrounded by artificial mountains and babbling springs. Under the vermilion torii gate is a black stone table with wisps of white steam rising from four teacups.

"In other words, there is a high possibility that a third-generation beast is about to awaken in the underground river of the Tama River?"

Genjiro looked at Tachibana Masamune, who was seated at the head of the stone table.

The latter took three minutes to give his so-called clue.

As for the current need for a higher-level serum to treat Erii's physical condition, this third-generation brethren that is about to recover is indeed an excellent source of serum material.

"If the data monitored by the Miyamoto family head is accurate, I think we have found a pure-blooded dragon that is about to revive," Tachibana Masamune said slowly.

The appearance of such a terrifying monster as a pure-blooded dragon would shock even hybrids, much like the panic caused by the appearance of Godzilla in the human world. Yet, the patriarch of the Snake Clan could calmly drink tea, demonstrating his profound composure.

However, Lin Ye knew that the so-called patriarch of the Snake Clan was actually a demon from the Arctic. His cunning and ruthlessness were no less than those of pure-blooded dragons. He thought and acted like a dragon, and had a perverted psychological quality.

According to the original Dragon Raja story, the pure-blooded dragon, whose level was at least at the second-generation species, was hidden deep in the Siberian ice layer. Herzog studied it to death, and the dragon conducted complex and cruel experiments on it day and night. The dragon's cries could be heard even through the thick ice layer, like the miserable howls of demons in hell, filled with fear and pain, yet powerless.

Keep in mind that it was a pure-blooded dragon, equivalent to a noble in the human world, yet it was constantly toyed with by a sleazy beggar until it was played to death in the most painful and tragic way.

It was from that pure-blooded dragon that Herzog obtained unimaginable data, like a beggar finally prying open a nobleman's hidden vault and getting piles and piles of gold and diamonds.

It can be said that Herzog understands dragons better than he understands humans themselves; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to develop so many Deadpool variants, or even develop evolution drugs.

How could such a wicked demon be shocked by the discovery of a third-generation species?

To him, the so-called third-generation offspring was nothing more than a rebellious brat.

On the other side, Miyamoto Shigeo said in a deep voice: "Some time ago, the family discovered abnormal fluctuations in Yamanashi Prefecture. Based on the drilling in this period, we found huge dragon-like fluctuations in the underground river called Akaki River, more than 300 meters deep, under the Tama River in Yamanashi Prefecture. According to our speculation, it is at least a pure-blooded dragon of the third generation level."

Upon hearing the name "Red Demon River," Lin Ye, who was standing to the side, narrowed his eyes sharply.

The underground river of the Red Demon River is where the sacred remains were incubated, which is the god that Tachibana Masamune has been longing for. If the other side finds that location, wouldn't that mean they have already found the god?!

Genjiro looked at the data report handed to him by Miyamoto Shigeo, his brows furrowing deeply. "If that's really the case, how are we supposed to hunt it down?"

Whether it's to obtain higher-grade serum materials to treat Erii, or for the safety of millions of people in Tokyo, this pure-blooded dragon that is about to revive is already on the death list.

However, the report indicated that the location of this pure-blooded dragon was very sensitive. It was located in Yamanashi Prefecture, a region with numerous mountain ranges and complex terrain, including the Akaishi Mountains, known as the Japanese Alps, and Japan's highest peak.

That is Mount Fuji.

This is a supervolcano, also known as the "Father of Volcanoes," which has never been extinguished since its birth. Not long ago, news reports showed thick black smoke spewing from the crater. Beneath this volcano is a huge fissure that extends to the mantle layer, which is an ocean of magma. Once it erupts, it will awaken humanity's deepest fears about this supervolcano.

In a sense, Japan's prosperity is built on a super dud. It may never explode, but it may explode at any moment. As a certain celebrity once said, it may never come back, or it may come back tomorrow.

Once the explosion occurs, the entire city of Tokyo will spiral into the sky in an instant, and the so-called prosperity will be nothing but a dream bubble that will shatter in a moment.

"Considering that the place where the dragons slumber is close to Mount Fuji, it is best not to use bunker-buster missiles or targeted blasts. However, a large amount of mercury can be poured into it. Then, the strong corrosive effect of mercury on dragons, combined with the high temperature of over a thousand degrees from the thermite incendiary bomb, will allow the mercury to evaporate rapidly into mercury vapor, thereby causing severe damage to the dragons, or even killing them directly."

Shio Miyamoto offered his suggestions.

"But if that pure-blooded dragon is really in the Red Demon River, such a large underground river, even if a large amount of mercury is poured in, the corrosive effect may be greatly reduced. In this case, the strong temperature assist capability of the thermite incendiary bomb will also be greatly weakened."

Lin Ye spoke.

He appeared calm and collected, but his words were actually a test.

Although he vaguely sensed that the Snake-Headed Eight Families probably hadn't discovered the remains of a god, otherwise that old dog Tachibana Masamune would never have been able to remain calm.

You must know that it is the key to making the other party a god. If he really discovers it, given Tachibana Masamune's personality, he will definitely hold an important clan meeting at the family shrine of the Snake-Headed Eight Families as soon as possible, and make an oath and determination in front of the entire family, saying such nonsense as that he will perish together with the god and end the curse of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

With Tachibana Masamune's acting skills comparable to an Oscar-winning actor, everyone, including Genjiro, would be impressed by this old man's willingness to die generously, ultimately burning himself out so that the tragedy of the Snake-Headed Eight Families would never be repeated.

Look at this devil's methods, they're so sophisticated. Or rather, this is the true devil's way—effortlessly making everyone work for him, because the devil understands people's hearts too well, understands their deepest desires too well. With just a spark, he can ignite it in an instant, until the flames consume him.

In short, Tachibana Masamune's ultimate goal was to incite all members of the Snake-Headed Eight Families, making them willing to burn their lives to pave the path to godhood for him.

The fact that this evil spirit is able to remain calm suggests that it may not have yet smelled the blood of the gods, and therefore it is very likely that it does not know the exact location of the gods.

"The pure-blooded dragon that is about to resurrect is not in the main channel of the Red Demon River, but only in a branch channel, so the mercury attack can completely cause corrosive damage to it."

"It was Miyamoto Shigeo who said in a deep voice."

"So this is ah……"

Hearing this, Lin Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew his guess was correct.

Chapter 74 Determination

"A large amount of mercury and mercury vapor can indeed cause corrosive damage to dragons, but it is not enough to be fatal. If the dragon is stimulated and awakens, and releases a powerful incantation directly, the risk is too great, and even the entire city of Tokyo will be plunged into a huge crisis."

Yuan Zhisheng analyzed in a deep voice.

This is like a human being who is fast asleep being suddenly woken up by boiling water. When they wake up, they will inevitably be in great pain and furious. How much more so for a pure-blooded dragon that is already ferocious by nature.

Once corroded by a large amount of mercury, the intense burning and corrosion will cause this pure-blooded dragon to suffer to the extreme. It will fall into absolute madness and will be eager to destroy everything in its sight.

Moreover, based on current intelligence data, all that is known is that a pure-blooded dragon is about to awaken in a branch of the underground river, the Red Demon River. It is not even clear what attributes the dragon possesses or what sequence of its Words of Power is known. However, as a pure-blooded dragon, its Words of Power would naturally be powerful.

Even powerful hybrids can use Word of Power to create a terrible explosion, so how could pure-blooded dragons not do the same? If the opponent possesses such a powerful and high-risk Word of Power, it would be like detonating a super bomb on Mount Fuji. The consequences would be unimaginable; it would be an absolutely catastrophic outbreak.

Upon hearing this, Miyamoto Shigeo replied, "Young Master's analysis is absolutely correct. Simply using mercury for irrigation carries too much risk and too many variables. We might even inadvertently trigger a disaster. Therefore, there is another instrumentation plan."

"Go on," Genjiro said in a deep voice.

"The family can first send someone to dive down to the hiding place of the pure-blooded dragon and kill it directly. After severely injuring it, pour all the prepared mercury into the underground river tributary, and then throw in thermite incendiary bombs to ensure that the pure-blooded dragon is killed without fail, and to ensure that it will not have any chance to fight back."

As he finished speaking, Miyamoto Shigeo's tone became sharp.
