Chapter 175 Black Dragon Source Blood

Richard was carefully modifying the grotesquely large abdominal cavity.

The transformation process is quite difficult, requiring delicate knife skills and proficient spell-drawing techniques. It is necessary to avoid damaging the original powerful defense of the abomination's abdomen, while also enabling the abomination to autonomously control and release vengeful spirits.

Therefore, the entire renovation process was very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Centered on the abomination's enormous body, Richard had already drawn several magic arrays with different effects around it. At this moment, they were emitting different colored lights, which were quite beautiful when intertwined.

Half an hour later

Richard wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead, feeling a great sense of accomplishment.

Currently, the entire renovation is more than halfway complete and everything is going smoothly, with the Inspiration Panel playing a powerful supporting role.

Using the Inspiration Panel, Richard extracted some of the previously unfamiliar processes for transforming vengeful spirits and evil spirits, and practiced them repeatedly in the dream space to quickly improve.

That's why the operation went so smoothly.

In addition, the cloak of concealment also proved extremely effective, almost perfectly masking the energy fluctuations in the area.

Just moments ago, a few adorable little beasts wandered into this place by mistake, leaving Richard both amused and exasperated. It turned out that trying to hide something too perfectly wasn't a good thing after all.

Even the most perceptive animals failed to notice anything unusual about the place.

When Richard recited the incantation, he moved the eight vengeful spirits from the double-eared black bottle to the abdomen of the already transformed Abomination, thus completing the basic transformation process of the vengeful spirit Abomination.

At this moment, deep within the belly of the abomination, there is a small space engraved with intricate witchcraft arrays, imprisoning all the vengeful spirits, and even malevolent spirits, that are now and will be taken into it in the future.

The next step is to put it to the test in real-world situations.

Let's see if hatred can freely control the release and recall of the vengeful spirits.

-

Not long after Dolores and her group entered the hidden cave, a Spider Knight who had been exploring ahead came to report again.

"Your Highness Dolores, we have spotted traces of the Blackscale Earth Dragon Beast not far ahead," the Spider Knight reported respectfully, pointing ahead as he did so.

Dolores's face immediately lit up with joy, and she gracefully stepped forward to examine the body.

Not far away, a huge footprint came into her view.

The footprint is about half a meter wide, about one meter long, and about twenty or thirty centimeters deep. Although the footprint is huge, what is special is that the entire foot has only three sharp toes.

This is a fairly obvious feature. For example, humans have five toes and no claws, which is quite different.

At this moment, the Spider Knight squad leader crouched down, crushed a piece of hard soil with his fingers, carefully sniffed the smell, and then carefully observed the patterns left by the giant foot. He then turned to Dolores and reported:

"Princess Dolores, it should undoubtedly be the Black-Scaled Earth Dragon Beast!"

"Moreover, the footprint is quite clear, and the lingering odor is quite strong. According to my subordinates, it was left about two hours ago."

Dolores nodded; she trusted the judgment of her skilled tracking squad leader more than anything, and said:

"Go! Send everyone up and expand the search area!"

"Report immediately upon spotting the target. The Blackscale Earth Dragon Beast is not something you can handle."

"Also, go check the neighborhood to see if there are any human wizard apprentices. I need a few live baits."

Dolores paused, then said:

"Using the flesh and blood of intelligent beings to lure the Blackscale Earth Dragon Beast will be much more effective than using the flesh and blood of ordinary wild beasts."

"Yes, Your Highness Dolores!" The squad leader waved his hand, and the Spider Knights behind him quickly split into three teams.

Two teams went forward to search for the exact location of the Black Scale Earth Dragon Beast, while the other team ran back in the direction they had come from.

Judging from the looks of it, this group is probably out hunting down human wizard apprentices.

A short while later, the Spider Knight in charge of the search came to report again.

"Your Highness Dolores, we followed the footprints and searched all the way until we found a deep cave a few miles ahead, where we could faintly hear the roars of beasts."

"Well done, my warriors," Dolores praised, surprised that the Spider Knights had located the Blackscale Earth Dragon so quickly.

This took much less time than she had expected.

Guided by several spider knights, Dolores arrived at an open space not far from the cave and began to carefully observe the surroundings.

Around the entrance to the cave, the skeletons of many large animals were scattered in an unusually messy manner. Judging from the size of the remaining skeletons, these dead animals, or perhaps monsters, were quite powerful.

Among the monster skeletons that Dolores could quickly identify was the Iron-Grilled Lizard, whose large iron grill in the middle of the skeleton was a very obvious feature.

However, these powerful monsters are now being used as daily nourishment by the black-scaled earth dragon beast in the cave.

After surveying the surroundings, Dolores already had a general plan in mind.

but

She immediately frowned and said, "What's wrong? Haven't you caught the bait I wanted yet?"

"Your Highness Dolores, I'll send more men immediately," the Spider Knight squad leader replied nervously.

"No need. Since you haven't found your people, then you can go." Dolores smiled wickedly.

Instantly, the Spider Knight squad leader felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body trembled.

Just as he was about to stammer out his plea for mercy, a commotion of several humans came from the back of the group.

To the Spider Knight squad leader, this was undoubtedly the most beautiful sound.

"Oh~ Looks like you're in luck today!" Dolores said, giving him a disgruntled look.

The Spider Knight captain quickly wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and looked back curiously.

Five spider knights, clad in fine knight armor, were leading three bound human wizard apprentices toward them.

The three human apprentices, two men and one woman, were all quite young, and their expressions were filled with fear.

"Huh! Not bad, you actually managed to catch three live baits."

"Bring me my package," Dolores gestured to the Spider Knight beside her.

A moment later, Dolores received a black package respectfully handed to her by a Spider Knight and took out three bottles of pale green potions from it.

"This is a weakening potion. Strip them naked and apply the potion evenly to these three bodies."

"Yes, Your Highness Dolores!"

Several spider knights quickly stepped forward and instantly tore off the three men's outer robes.

"ah!!!"

"stop!"

"Damn night elves! If you want to kill us, just kill us! Why humiliate us like this!"

The three human wizard apprentices who were captured alive expected to be tortured, but they were surprised by what they found.

"Stop arguing! A bait should act like a bait!"

"Cut out their tongues, sever their tendons in their hands and feet!"

Dolo waved his hand without any expression.

"ah!!"

With several piercing screams, three naked human wizard apprentices were dragged like dead dogs by the spider knights to the center of the open space ahead.

Then, following Dolores's orders, several Spider Knights evenly applied the Weakness Potion to the three human apprentices.

The three human apprentices were terrified, their bodies trembling. They seemed to want to resist, but their limbs, with their tendons severed, were completely immobile.

Like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!

At this moment, a Spider Knight came running up from behind and said, "Your Highness Dolores, Lord Portia has important news to report."

"Prince Shadra has arrived at the camp, and he has also brought news that human wizard apprentices will attack the camp within half a day."

"What? Shadra?"

Dolores' first reaction upon hearing the news was the same as Portia's: utter bewilderment.

I've never heard the mistress mention that she would continue to send high-ranking spider women into the Norman Secret Realm.

Moreover, Shadra has been missing ever since he followed the matriarch into the surface six months ago. Some say he was killed by a human wizard, while others say he was severely injured.

Even if the mistress were to send another high-ranking spider woman, it would be possible to send someone else, but the possibility of sending Shadra is extremely low.

Something about Shadra's appearance this time seems a bit off!

However, Dolores gently shook her head.

Now is not the time to think about that; all preparations for hunting the Blackscale Earth Dragon are now complete.

The primary task now is to successfully complete the task assigned by the matriarch: collecting the blood essence of the Black Scale Earth Dragon Beast.

Afterwards, he returned to the camp to see what was going on with the sudden appearance of Shadra.

Having made up her mind, Dolores began to recite a long incantation.

A huge, faintly reddish-brown magic array could be seen appearing around the open space.

Soon after, the pale red light emanating from the massive magic circle gradually began to shrink as Dolores finished her incantation, until it disappeared completely.

From the outside, this ground looks just like any other place, and there's no indication that a giant witch array has been set up here.

Once everything was ready, Dolores's expression hardened, and she commanded, "Everyone, prepare!"

"Ready, Your Highness Dolores!"

Dolores waved her hand, and a black whirlwind swept towards the three poor souls who had been coated with the Weakness Potion. The whirlwind, carrying the distinctive scent of the Weakness Potion, then drifted into a cave not far ahead.

Before long, seemingly lured by the unique scent of the weakening potion, a low growl came from the cave, and the noise grew louder and louder.

"Thump, thump, thump!" The footsteps of a huge creature came from somewhere.

A few seconds later, a colossal creature, over twenty meters long, covered in black scales, with a row of triangular bone spurs growing from its head down its spine to its tail, emerged from the cave.

If Richard were there, he would definitely have noticed that this creature, called the Blackscale Earth Dragon, looks somewhat like a horned dinosaur from the Jurassic period.

However, it also has a significantly different appearance from the horned dragon, namely its black scales, which are particularly eye-catching.

The Blackscale Earth Dragon Beast clearly spotted the live bait in the center of the clearing, which emitted a fragrant aroma. In addition to the unique scent of the weakening potion, it also smelled of intelligent creatures, which it loved most.

This made it unable to suppress its appetite, and in an instant, it rushed out with astonishing speed!

At this moment, the three apprentices lying on the ground, unable to move, realized that their previous belief that the night elves were going to torture them to extract information was completely wrong.

These damned, despicable, shameless night elves actually used them as bait!

Not every tragedy will be resolved with a hero stepping forward!

As the Black-Scaled Earth Dragon Beast opened and closed its gaping maw, a human apprentice was torn into large chunks of flesh by its sharp teeth and swallowed whole, where it was devoured with relish.

The remaining two wizard apprentices trembled as they watched this bloody scene!

Before long, the three ill-fated human apprentices were devoured by the Blackscale Earth Dragon Beast.

At this moment, the Blackscale Earth Dragon Beast, who was enjoying its delicious meal, also noticed something was wrong, because it felt a little dizzy.

Even though it wasn't very intelligent, it realized at that moment that there seemed to be something wrong with the food it had just eaten.

But before it could think about it further, it realized that its limbs were incredibly heavy and that all its strength seemed to be rapidly draining away.

Suddenly, Dolores, holding a black mirror, shouted:

"Great goddess Rose, grant me the power of nightmares."

Suddenly, the originally dark mirror in her hand emitted a dense green light, and the next second, a green beam of light as thick as a bowl shot directly onto the Black Scale Earth Dragon Beast.

In an instant, the massive body of the Black Scale Earth Dragon Beast froze in place, as if it had been frozen!

"Quickly! Activate the Blood Source Absorption Magic Array!"

Eight Spider Knights rushed toward the Black Scale Earth Dragon Beast and plunged their specially made Dragon-Slaying Blades into its neck, the inside of its limbs, and the sides of its chest.

As the Mitsubishi cone-shaped dragon-slaying blade was pulled out, instantly, crimson blood gushed out from the wound like a spring!

After a large amount of blood gushed out, strangely, it did not drip onto the ground, but instead floated up about ten centimeters above the ground.

The massive witch array that had been set up around the area began to slowly activate as a huge amount of blood was injected into it!

Surprisingly, the Blackscale Earth Dragon Beast, despite suffering such severe injuries, seemed oblivious, remaining frozen in place, completely still!

"3"

"2"

"1"

The countdown has ended!

The next second, the Black Scale Earth Dragon Beast seemed to awaken and let out a roar, but unfortunately, due to the weakening potion and the eight cuts all over its body that caused it to bleed, the Black Scale Earth Dragon Beast's strength was now less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

They were quickly restrained by the swarming spider knights, who used thick chains to tightly bind them.

As the crimson light of the giant witch array grew stronger, the roar of the Black-Scaled Earth Dragon Beast gradually turned into a mournful cry.

After a while, the Black Scale Earth Dragon Beast's four incredibly thick thighs could no longer support its weight and it collapsed to the ground with a thud.

The blood imprisoned in the center of the giant magic array has now transformed into a massive blood sphere with a diameter of at least two meters.

Meanwhile, a small amount of blood continued to flow from the wound of the Blackscale Earth Dragon Beast, flowing into the massive blood sphere!

Dolores began chanting a complex incantation. As the incantation rose and fell in pitch, the giant blood sphere in the center of the giant magic circle began to throb like a living heart.

With each beat, the blood cells become more vibrant and viscous in color, while some unnecessary impurities and water are expelled.

Gradually, the blood cell, the size of a water tank, condensed to the size of a human head.

Going a step further, it becomes the size of a fist.

Finally, after three rounds of refining, it solidified into a droplet-sized, dark red, teardrop-shaped crystal, about the size of a fingernail.

"Black Dragon Origin Blood!"
