nChapter 132: Dragon Blood Crystals, Dragon Blood Murlocs (2)

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nAs a Deep Sea Dragon Whale, Anina’s bloodline already positioned her at the pinnacle of the ocean hierarchy.

nFacing a genuine dragon head-on wouldn’t faze her, let alone these water elementals infused with a mere trace of dragon blood.

nThus, she remained completely unaffected.

nSeeing Anina charging towards them with an imposing aura, the Dragonblood Water Elementals unleashed a barrage of water arrows, descending upon her like a deluge.

nAnina’s expression remained unchanged as she positioned her colossal sword in front of her, its broad blade covering her entirely.

nThud. Thud.

nThe continuous sound echoed as more than ten water arrows collided with the sword, their powerful impact tearing several cracks in its surface.

nAnina clicked her tongue at the sight.

nThe sword wasn’t sturdy enough, slightly hampering her combat effectiveness.

nEnduring three volleys of water arrows, the sword, made of ordinary metal, was now riddled with cracks, and on the verge of breaking.

nBut Anina had successfully closed the distance. With a casual toss, she discarded the sword.

nRushing towards a Dragonblood Water Elemental, she clenched her right hand into a fist and struck its body.

nBoom!

nA gaping hole pierced through the elemental’s body, causing its gelatinous flesh to burst into fragments scattered on the ground.

nThis was the purest form of power—simple yet brutally effective.

nAfter killing one, Anina didn’t pause for even a moment. Her muscles and bones were flawlessly utilized as she instantaneously appeared before another elemental.

nOnce again, with a single punch.

nThis one met an even more gruesome fate, with half of its body obliterated.

nAs other Dragonblood Water Elementals reacted and raised their fists to unleash water arrows, Anina’s eyes narrowed, and she let out a resounding roar towards the sky. The sound pierced through the air, shattering rocks and splitting steel, as if capable of dispersing the clouds in the heavens.

nThe surrounding Dragonblood Water Elementals froze in place, their raised fists slowly lowering.

nFear of War (Purple skill, can use a roar to stun the enemy for 1 – 10 seconds, the effect depends on the level and level of the enemy)

nSeeing this, Anina grinned.

nHer face, which had a little baby fat, actually looked a little valiant and heroic at this moment. She stomped his feet and started killing again.

nAgainst an enemy who would not enter a stunned state and would not resist, the efficiency of killing would be even higher.

nBy the time the Dragonblood Water Elementals woke up, one-third of them had already been killed.

nThe most terrifying aspect was that with each passing moment of the battle, Anina’s combat prowess grew stronger. Her speed, strength, and endurance were all steadily increasing, showing no signs of waning. With every enemy she vanquished, it seemed as though she was replenishing her stamina by sucking their blood. She became an unstoppable killing machine, moving effortlessly through the battlefield, annihilating Dragonblood Water Elementals with each passing second.

nJi Chen had originally wanted to lend a hand, but upon seeing this scene, he immediately dispelled the idea.

nIt was obvious that the child was holding it in. It had been a long time since she had killed an enemy so readily.

nBebo was dumbstruck as he watched Anina slaughter them like she was killing a fish. He began to recall if he had ever said or done anything that offended her before, afraid that Anina would hold a grudge against him and punch him in the head.

nAfter completely overpowering the Dragonblood Water Elementals with her unmatched power, speed, and endurance, Anina left no survivors. The once formidable Dragonblood Water Elementals, which appeared powerful to ordinary units, couldn’t even touch the hem of her clothes before being swiftly and cleanly slain.

nThe battle quickly came to an end.

n“Ding- You have achieved an honorable victory, earning 36,000 experience points…”

nSeeing the system prompt, Ji Chen nodded and smiled as he approached Anina, who was walking back towards him.

n“Great job, Anina. When we get back, you can ask the chef to make whatever you want.”

nAnina wanted to say something like “It was an easy battle” or “1 didn’t even break a sweat”, but her eyes lit up upon hearing Ji Chen’s words. “Really? Then I want to eat freshly grilled meat!”

n“No problem, you can have as much as you want,” Ji Chen said, reaching out to pat her hair and round little head.

nFeeling the warmth of his hand on her head, Anina immediately closed her eyes, feeling comfortable and content.

nAt some point, Anina had developed a liking for this kind of reward.

nConsidering it, Anina was probably more like a killer whale, enjoying being stroked by others.

nWitnessing this, Ji Chen always went along with it and gave her a good pat on the head.

nAfter all, stroking her soft hair was a pleasant experience for both body and mind.

nAfter a minute of brief caressing, Ji Chen gently patted her little head and withdrew his hand. “Alright, we need to keep moving forward.”

nHearing this, Anina reluctantly nodded.

nJust as they were about to continue their journey, Benbo suddenly spoke up, “My Lord, look, there are some things on the ground. It seems like they fell from the Dragonblood Water Elementals.”

nUpon hearing this, Ji Chen lowered his head to take a look.

nSure enough, among the shattered bodies of the Dragonblood Water Elementals, there were blood-red crystals.

nThese crystals were translucent and seemed to flow like blood, appearing quite beautiful.

nJi Chen walked over and casually picked one up, carefully examining it.

nDragon Blood Crystal

nLevel: 1-star treasure

nEffect: Able to mix dragon blood into a soldier’s body and obtain a chance to evolve.

nRemark: The reason for the evolution of the Dragonblood Water Elementals. It has magical power.

nDragon blood crystals?

nCan evolve?

nBefore he could rejoice, the military talent tree suddenly popped up on its own.

n“Dragon blood crystal detected, detecting soldiers that can evolve…”

n“The compatibility of the shallow sea murlocs has reached 95%, opening a new direction in the talent tree.”

n“Murloc Hero: Murky opens a new talent tree.”

nUnlocked node E-1: Dragon’s blood (purple skill). Consumes 100 (pieces) dragon’s blood crystals, 2000 crystals.

nUnexpectedly, these Dragon blood Crystals could actually unlock a new talent path for the Shallow Sea Murlocs.

nThis was the first time he had encountered such a thing!

nDoes this mean that besides the original talent tree for units, it was possible to develop new paths through certain items?

nThe Dragon Blood Crystals opened up a path called “Dragon Blood”.

nAlthough he couldn’t determine the specific descriptions and effects of the skills, starting with a purple-level skill, it should be formidable.

nFrom the name alone, it seemed to be related to the Dragon Blood skill of the Dragonblood Water Elementals.

nJi Chen looked at Benbo again and noticed that its new node was the same as that of the Shallow Sea Murlocs.

nUnlocked node F-1: Dragon’s blood (purple skill). Consumes 50 dragon blood crystals, 2000 crystals.

nThinking of this, Ji Chen suppressed the joy in his heart and ordered the other troops.

n“Collect these crystals for me.”

nHearing this, all the soldiers spread out and began to search the battlefield.

nSoon, all the dragon blood crystals were gathered together.

nThere were more than 150 of them, which was exactly the amount of dragon blood and water elements.

nAs per the item description, a single Dragon Blood Crystal could only enable the evolution of one soldier, and even with over 150 crystals, only a maximum of 150 shallow-sea Murlocs could evolve. However, the military talent tree required only 100 crystals to evolve all the shallow sea Murlocs, ensuring that any future recruits would already be evolved.

nThere was no denying the power of this advancement. Ji Chen reopened the talent tree and proceeded to unlock the new nodes for Benbo and Shallow Sea Murloc.

n“Consumed 50 (pieces) of Dragon Blood Crystals, 2000 units of crystals, unlocked node F-1 (Murloc Hero: Benbo).”

n“Consumed 100 Dragon Blood Crystals, 2000 units of crystals, unlocked node E-1 (Shallow Sea Murlocs).”

n“Shallow Sea Murloc (Tier 3, 3 stars) has advanced to Dragon Blood Murloc (Tier 4, 3 stars).”

nJi Chen gasped in astonishment.

nTo think that their rank had been elevated by an entire level! What a huge advantage they had gained!

nAfter completing their evolution, both Benbo and the Dragon Blood Murloc now displayed the outline of a dragon’s head on their skulls. Their scales had become majestic and commanding, truly resembling dragon scales.

nAnd the most remarkable feature was the flowing red blood throughout their bodies, which emitted a mysterious Dragon’s Might.

nIn the face of enemies, just as they had experienced with the Dragonblood Water Elementals, their strength diminished by thirty percent even before the battle began. And once they got close, their opponents would be utterly defenseless.

nHowever, this aura of majesty had no effect on Ji Chen. Not only was there a significant gap in power, but he also held the position of their lord.

nNo matter how mighty they became, as their lord, Ji Chen possessed absolute control over them.

nWitnessing the transformation of the Murlocs into Dragon Blood Murlocs, a formidable Tier 4 unit, his spirits soared.

nUnder Benbo’s leadership, the Dragon Blood Murlocs’ strength was now approaching Tier 5.

nThey had leapt to become the mightiest unit in the territory!
