My bloodline is so eager to improve.

Fortunately, Maika was familiar with the road conditions, and around noon, the three of them had reached the depths of the mountains.

"It's around here."

After saying this, Maika immediately hoisted the gleaming giant axe onto his shoulder, unscrewed the cubic water bottle with his other hand, and took a big gulp of amber-colored liquor.

The liquor dripped down his thick beard, making a crisp sound on the damp ground.

Looking at the otherworldly realm before him, Maika immediately shouted.

"Let's go!"

Chapter 54 Standoff in the Flames

Following Michael's announcement, Otto and Goren immediately followed.

At this moment, Goren was simply silently practicing his professional combat skills.

His bare arms were muscular, and his hands slowly clenched into fists.

The knuckles made a crisp metallic clanging sound.

Otto noticed a layer of pale blue chill seeping from between Goren's fingers.

As the surrounding raindrops approached, they instantly condensed into tiny ice crystals!

This taciturn martial artist is already exerting all his strength.

As for Otto, the moment he entered the depths of the mountains, he immediately activated his Lamplight Eye.

After all, there are almost certainly monsters around here, so they must proceed with caution!

But the moment Otto activated his Lamplight Eye, he witnessed a wondrous scene.

The thick blue mist, like a giant dragon, stirred up the surrounding air!

At this moment, Otto could confirm that this was the hiding place of the dragon's blood!

But there was still some crimson fog around, so they obviously had to be extra careful.

As for Maika, he was simply repeating the plan from the previous night while walking.

"Stay close to me, and remember, once you hear my battle cry, charge with all your might."

The rest, I'll handle.

Following Maika's words, the three of them arrived at the front of a mine.

The entrance was filled with all kinds of skeletons.

It was clearly the work of the kobolds.

They have made this place their nest.

This is precisely why Michael carefully instructed the two of them.

Although he preserved the dragon's blood well using alchemy tools, the location where it was placed was dangerous.

This is a compromise that has to be made out of necessity.

However, as the group moved forward, Otto felt that the air was getting hotter and the pungent stench was getting stronger.

Clearly, the kobolds living here have completely transformed the cave.

But just as Otto was observing his surroundings, a wisp of crimson mist suddenly appeared within the range of the Lamplight Eye.

"Watch out, to the left!"

Before Otto could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly leaped out from a crack in the rock wall.

That was a hideous dog-headed man!

Just as Otto saw in the adventurer's memory, he was ugly and smelled bad!

But its ambush was unsuccessful because Otto's warning had failed.

Goren stepped forward, blocking Otto's path, and his right fist slammed out with a whooshing chill.

With a muffled thud, the metal fist collided with the kobold's claws.

A pale blue chill instantly spread, freezing half of the kobold's body into an ice sculpture.

Maika, naturally, wouldn't let this opportunity pass. His giant axe swung down with a whooshing sound, cleaving the kobold and the ice block in two.

"These monsters are all cunning."

Maika flicked the ice shards off his axe and took another gulp of strong liquor.

"However, these are just appetizers; the real trouble is yet to come."

Sure enough, as the three of them went deeper, more and more kobolds emerged from the darkness.

Otto did not hesitate, wielding his one-handed sword. He mastered the Azure Moon Breathing Technique to its fullest extent, and the azure moonlight swirling around the blade never ceased. Every strike precisely targeted the monster's vital points.

As for the kobolds who attempted to ambush him, Otto repelled them one by one using his parry and shield bash!

Otto could feel that, with the help of the Moonlit Spirit Hound, he was becoming more and more adept at mastering the transition between the Azure Moon Breathing Technique and the Iron Wall Breathing Technique.

Just as Lillian said, combat skills can only be honed through actual combat!

While Otto was cleaning up the kobolds, Goren was not neglecting his duties either.

He was like a cold killing machine; wherever his fists landed, a chilling aura would spread. Any kobold struck by his fists would be frozen and then easily crushed by his iron fists.

Otto felt that perhaps it was the influence of the dragon's blood, but Goren's body seemed to be born for battle.

Every movement was simple yet deadly, with nothing superfluous, and Otto even found a certain beauty in them!

It's as if Goren isn't a martial artist, but rather a bloodthirsty dancer!

However, Maika, standing to the side, was still leading the charge.

His giant axe swung in a circle, each strike capable of cleaving a monster in two at the waist.

When faced with hordes of monsters, he simply took a deep breath and unleashed a deafening battle roar!

The battle cry echoed like thunder within the mad blade.

It not only intimidated the kobolds, slowing their movements, but also boosted the morale of their teammates.

Without realizing it, Otto felt his strength temporarily increase!

The three worked together seamlessly, and before long they entered an underground space that resembled a hall.

"This is it!"

Michael called Otto over quickly.

He took out a key and opened a secret room in the rock wall!

In the center of the secret room was a pool of scarlet water.

Just by getting close, Otto could feel a wave of heat from the high temperature!

This is the blood of the dragon!

This is the essence of a top-tier fantasy species!

Upon reaching the poolside, Otto even heard dragon roars coming from the bursting bubbles in the water!

This terrifying spectacle filled Otto's animal friends with immense fear.

That's the kind of fear that comes from when someone in a superior position absolutely crushes someone in a subordinate position!

This made Otto absolutely certain that he had made the right choice!

"Now, what should we do?"

Otto was about to turn around and ask Michael when the dwarf behind him pushed him into the pool.

"Do it this way."

With a calm expression, Maika opened the two bottles containing tinder and then threw them into the pool.

Immediately afterwards, a ferocious dragon roar resounded throughout the entire space.

The lights and the fires of the abyss, fueled by the blood of dragons, engulfed Otto in a crimson flame!

"Kid, we've done everything we could. Now it's up to you whether you can pull through."

Michael breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Otto wouldn't waste his treasure.

As for Goren, he simply comforted Mika.

"Don't worry, I can sense that this kid's aura far surpasses that of ordinary people. Perhaps he is qualified to bear the blood of the dragon."

Goren wanted to say something more, but a strange noise came from behind him. Clearly, the kobolds had no intention of giving up and had begun their counterattack.

Seeing this, Maika simply led Goren out of the secret chamber, roared, and charged at the monster again.

Otto, however, was completely unaware of this while engulfed in flames.

Because all his senses were consumed by the flames.

In the instant the dragon's flames enveloped Otto's body, Otto seemed to see an indescribable figure.

The ferocious beast spread its wings, blocking out the sky.

When it stretches its neck and roars, the entire earth trembles!

But at this moment, He lowered His head and looked at the tiny being before Him.

"mortal?"

Chapter Fifty-Five: Taking Office with Extraordinary Skills

At this moment, the ferocious figure revealed its true form.

It was a giant dragon covered in golden scales.

The dragon looked at the mortal struggling to maintain his form with disdain.

But that mortal showed no intention of retreating even a step!

The heat emanating from the dragon had completely destroyed the armored bear's hide and was beginning to melt Otto's body, yet he instead burst into maniacal laughter.

"That's it!"

Otto felt that this torment was much more pleasant than the illness he had suffered in his previous life!

In his past life, Otto suffered from a rare disease that forced him to watch helplessly as his body gradually lost consciousness!

At that time, Otto was like someone trapped in a fleshy coffin, unable to live or die!

Although the new therapy ultimately failed, it was still a kind of relief.

Compared to the feeling of being confined and fearful, the destruction brought by the dragon's flames was much simpler and more brutal to Otto!

Otto didn't want to waste this hard-won new life. He had made his choice from the very beginning: he wanted to see the scenery on the mountaintop!

He never wanted to become that weak version of himself again!

It was at this moment that obsession transformed into will, and Otto took his first step!

At this moment, even the dragon that was burning Otto was somewhat dumbfounded.

The mortals before Him seemed different from what He had imagined.

And it was this one step that changed everything!

A lamp was lit in front of Otto, guiding him in the right direction.

The six bloodline imprints were fully manifested in this spiritual realm where mortals and dragons battled.

The Magic Ape and the Moonlit Hound, each wielding a flame, approached the dragon, attempting to trap it.

The black cat and the eagle, with their agile movements, firmly gripped the dragon's head.

The black sheep and brown bear fearlessly lunged at the dragon's claws.

At this moment, the bloodline marks truly became Otto's animal friends, facing the dragon's roar together with him!

It was at that moment that Otto suddenly opened his eyes.

The dragon's flames could no longer burn Otto's body.
