Dragon Clan: Starting with the Azure Dragon Fruit

Bloodlust is a poison that uses reason to gain power; once activated, the desire to kill will erode the brain.

But Lin Yuan just now not only showed a level of dragonification far beyond his understanding, but also directly grew dragon horns and a dragon tail.

What's even more terrifying is that in that state, he not only retained his sanity, but could also deactivate the transformation at will.

This was completely different from what Fingel knew about Bloodlust. Either his junior brother's bloodline was too stable, suppressing the side effects of Bloodlust, or this wasn't "Bloodlust" at all...

Fingel dared not think any further. He was a smart man. After repeating a year in Kassel, the most useful lesson he learned was not to ask questions that shouldn't be asked. As long as the junior standing in front of him was still the one he knew, nothing else mattered.

He has always been good at playing dumb.

Fingel reverted to his usual dejected expression and began to complain: "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright! When we get back to the academy, we'll go straight to the Execution Department and start beating up everyone we see! What kind of situation is this? Your first real-world field mission, and you're already facing a resurrected third-generation species! Are those intelligence officers sitting in offices choosing missions with their toes?"

Lin Yuan smiled as he listened to his good-for-nothing senior brother's familiar banter.

Fingel is using this method to indicate that he will keep the secret.

After calming down his useless senior brother, Lin Yuan's gaze fell on Jiu De Mai.

"And you?" Lin Yuan asked calmly.

"What did you just see?"

When Mai Shude met those clear, black and white eyes, even though the golden pupils had faded, the oppressive feeling remained.

After only half a second of eye contact, she couldn't help but give in, her gaze slipping away guiltily.

After the dragon scales were removed, Lin Yuan's upper body was completely exposed.

Sweat dripped down his well-defined abdominal muscles, exuding primal male hormones.

Saketo Mai's throat moved slightly as she looked at Lin Yuan's upper body and unconsciously swallowed.

But she immediately came to her senses. This was no time to swoon over a handsome man. Standing in front of her was a murderous bastard who had just ripped the heart out of a pure-blooded dragon with his bare hands!

"I didn't, I didn't see anything." Mai Shude shook her head repeatedly, her survival instincts kicking in, and quickly raised her hands to prove her innocence.

"I've said it before, I'm just a friendly NPC here to offer assistance. Your completion of the quest is equivalent to the successful completion of my quest. NPCs have no curiosity, and they certainly don't have any extra lines."

Seeing the woman's desperate attempt to distance herself from the situation, Lin Yuan withdrew his gaze without comment.

Mai Shude secretly wiped the cold sweat from her palms on her clothes, without mentioning a word about what had just happened.

Only now did she realize her boss's intention.

Sending her all this way is hardly an invitation to be a babysitter for this S-level freshman.

It was clear that they had their eye on this evil dragon about to bare its fangs, and deliberately arranged for him to make a good connection before the Secret Party's board of directors could react.

Place your bets at the gambling table before the storm hits the world.

Having figured out this relationship, Mai Shude wisely stepped into the background.

The faint sense of wariness inside the cave vanished as the woman backed down.

Seeing that the long-legged beauty had also become a shrewd and pragmatic woman, Fingel, now free from worries, once again let his greedy nature take over.

His eyes shone brightly as he stared at the dragon corpse not far away.

“Junior brother, we’ve struck it rich this time! This is the corpse of a pure-blooded dragon. Its scales, bones, and blood are all priceless alchemical materials! As long as we bring it back to the academy, those old guys from the Secret Party will definitely be willing to pay you an astronomical reward. You’ll never have to worry about money again.”

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuan merely glanced at the giant dragon and the stone cocoon in the corner.

Lin Yuan raised his hand to stop Fingel from approaching the dragonman's corpse.

"No, let Him stay here. Don't disturb Him any further."

"Huh?" Fingel stood there, stunned, his face full of confusion.

"What does this mean? Are you going to turn down a mountain of gold?"

Lin Yuan didn't want to explain the scenes he saw through his spiritual vision. Let this tragic obsession spanning hundreds of years rest in this darkness.

Before Fingel could continue his persuasion, the ground suddenly began to shake violently. The death of the dragon meant that the anchor point maintaining 'Nibelungen' had collapsed.

The space that had been distorted and folded by the dragon's power began to collapse.

"This place is about to collapse, get out of here!" Jiu De Mai shouted a warning.

The three of them disregarded everything else and turned to run back the way they came.

The return journey was no longer the intricate, folded maze it had been in; the tunnels had returned to their true form as abandoned mines.

But as the Nibelungen collapsed, the surrounding tunnels also shook violently, and huge cracks kept tearing open in the ground.

Mai Shude was initially quite relaxed, but after running a short distance, the strengthening potion's effect wore off. The fine scales on her body quickly disappeared, and the weakness caused by the potion's aftereffects made her legs go weak, and her pace slowed down significantly.

Lin Yuan noticed something was wrong with Jiu De Mai and immediately turned back.

Seeing her weak and unable to walk, Lin Yuan guessed that the enhancement agent had probably worn off. Such a powerful potion always has some side effects to balance its strength.

He simply crouched down, expertly grabbed the woman's legs, lifted her up, and carried her on his back.

At the critical moment of life and death, Jiu Demai disregarded all restraint and naturally wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's neck, pressing them against Lin Yuan's burning back.

When Fingel, who was following behind, saw this, he immediately objected.

"Junior brother, you value romance over friendship! I just took the brunt of the damage head-on, my internal organs are almost displaced! Why didn't you come to carry me?"

Before he could finish speaking, a piece of gravel came crashing down.

The useless senior brother dodged the attack with agility, showing no sign of the beating he had just received having any effect on him.

Just as he stood firm,

It seamlessly connects to utter nonsense:

"Hey! Long-legged beauty! We've at least fought dragons together before, so we're practically friends now."

"If we make it out alive today, how about we grab some lunch together? There's a Turkish kebab place in town that's absolutely amazing!"

Mai Shude didn't want to pay any attention to Fingel at all, and simply rested her chin comfortably on Lin Yuan's shoulder: "Can you run faster? There's a noisy fly here, it's giving me a headache."

"Hold on tight."

Lin Yuan suddenly increased his speed, leaving Fingel with only a fleeting, towering figure.

"Damn it! Junior brother, you're so disloyal!"

Fingel quickly sped up and caught up.

As they rushed out of the tunnel towards the light, a roar came from behind them, and the entire mine was completely buried, sealing away all grudges.

The sky was bright outside, and the thick fog that had plagued Claustal for more than half a month had long since dissipated. A gentle breeze brought the unique freshness of the mountains and forests.

Having unknowingly become a hero who saved tens of thousands of people, Lin Yuan looked at the town gradually becoming clearer at the foot of the mountain, but his heart was very calm.

Meanwhile, on a ridge 800 meters from the mine entrance.

The four-man team sent by the Gattuso family had been monitoring the area, and as the fog dissipated, they had a clear view of the mine entrance.

"The targets have emerged from the mine. They seem to have completed their mission; they've survived," the sniper reported to his team leader beside him, his finger lightly resting on the trigger.

Through the scope, he observed them one by one, spotting the disheveled German man and the woman dressed in ninja attire.

"Target locked," the captain ordered. Because of the thick fog when they went out, they hadn't brought binoculars and now had to rely on the sniper's observations to give the order.

"They should be at their least vigilant right now. In a moment, I will give them a dignified exit."

The sniper breathed steadily, his crosshairs locked onto Lin Yuan, awaiting the team leader's order to kill.

Just then, Lin Yuan, whose vision was still adjusting to the sunlight through the scope, seemed to sense the evil intent in the distance and looked up in this direction.

Even from a distance of 800 meters, the sniper could see it clearly.

In the large image captured by the optical lens, the boy grinned at the camera, revealing a chilling smile.

A chill ran straight to the top of his head, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

"boom!"

A specially made mercury armor-piercing bullet was fired from the barrel.

Chapter 84 The Hybrid of Multiple Words of Power

At the mine entrance, Mai Shude was adjusting to the sunlight when she suddenly noticed Lin Yuan moving beside her.

The two stood very close, and she could clearly feel the gust of wind generated by Lin Yuan drawing his sword.

Jiu Demayi felt a chill run down her spine. Was this a prelude to abandon the bridge after crossing the river?

He was still worried that he would leak secrets, so he planned to dispose of himself here?

"Zheng"

Sparks exploded in front of Lin Yuan.

The muffled gunshots then slowly drifted on the wind from the distant hilltops.

Lin Yuan cut open a 12.7 mm armor-piercing projectile.

Two smooth brass cartridge cases landed, and the mercury inside, now free, spilled onto the road.

Mai Shude's mind went completely blank.

These large-caliber armor-piercing rounds are typically loaded into anti-materiel sniper rifles like the Barrett M82A1.

Lin Yuan just used a cold weapon to cleave a sniper bullet that was traveling at speeds far exceeding the speed of sound.

This goes beyond the realm of mixed-race individuals; it's practically a scene straight out of mythology.

In other words, Newton is probably turning in his grave.

Lin Yuan sheathed his sword, turned to look at Fingel and Shude Mai who were still in a daze, and said, "Wait here for a moment, I'm going to take care of some trash."

After saying that, Lin Yuan vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a swirling cloud of dust.

......

The team leader grabbed the sniper by the back of his collar, pulling him up halfway, his face grim: "Who the hell gave you permission to fire without authorization?!"

He wanted nothing more than to snap the idiot's neck, but he also knew that getting angry now would be pointless.

Now that our position has been exposed, pursuing disciplinary action is a complete waste of time.

"Damn it, so be it." The team leader stared at him.

"You'd better tell me you didn't miss, did you get a headshot?"

The sniper shakily looked away from his scope, his face pale. He forced a weak smile and said, "No...no, he...he split the bullet in two."

"What nonsense are you spouting?!"

The team leader flew into a rage and kicked him, sending him rolling twice.

How could someone possibly split a sniper bullet in two with a knife?

Looking at the entire mixed-race society, only that old monster Angers could do such a thing, and that was only because of the power of "Time Zero".

The information provided by the family before the operation clearly stated that the target's Word of Power was "Thunder Pool".

Despite believing his subordinates were talking nonsense, the team leader drew his Glock pistol and demanded sharply, "Enough talk! What's the target's situation? Has he already taken cover?"

Seeing this, the two teammates next to them quickly drew out their poisoned alchemical weapons and formed a defensive formation back to back.

Before the sniper, who was lying on the ground, could answer, a lazy voice suddenly rang in their ears.

"The target is right here. You can just ask me directly."

The team leader's breath hitched, and he stiffly turned his head.

Lin Yuan, who was just 800 meters away, was now standing on the rock next to them.

It was early autumn, but the back of the team leader's combat uniform was instantly soaked with cold sweat. He cursed the incompetent sniper and his ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind.

The target had clearly noticed the sniper position long ago and was rushing towards them. The sniper missed his target while moving at high speed and, fearing punishment, fabricated the absurd lie that he "cut the bullet with a knife."

"Prepare for battle!" The team leader raised his hand to pull the trigger.

Unfortunately, they no longer had the chance to act.

Lin Yuan, perched on the boulder, lowered his eyes slightly, and a series of dragon-script syllables came from his mouth.

Despite it being his first time chanting the dragon script, he didn't feel awkward at all.

After devouring the dragon, His authority, as spoils of war, became an instinctive part of him.
