Chapter 46
Dana has already begun to feel the scorching heat upon her azure scales, making Dana instinctively feel uncomfortable being within such an environment.
As Dana is a Frost Wyvern, she will naturally be most adapted towards an environment with extreme cold, with her currently being in the opposite, it will feel irritable for her to remain in such a place, whereas the Blaze wyrms will possess a natural advantage within their own habitat.
A matter of fact if it wasn't a Blaze Wyrm, and a Raging Blaze Drake, Dana would be wary of fighting such a beast which contains a bloodline as powerful as hers within its natural environment.
But, as she is a Frost Wyvern, possessing a rare bloodline, no matter what advantages they possess here will still be unable to cover the true difference between bloodlines.
Thus, Dana's large body moved through the entrance of the volcano, descending within its depths to search for the Blaze Wyrm's.
The further Dana descends within the volcano, the higher the temperature became, eventually it becoming so warm that steam began emitting from Dana's scales as a result of the severe coldness which radiates within her body.
Becoming more and more annoyed at the ridiculous heat of the surroundings, Dana soon came across a large lake of lava, which seemed to stretch for miles.
Believing that her targets were somewhere present, thinking that she will make those Blaze Wyrms suffer her wrath for dragging her into such a place, Dana begrudgingly used her [Earth Armor] bloodline skill, continuously muttering to herself that this is worth it, she jumped into the lava lake as began swimming, her hawk-like gaze searching for any signs of Blaze Wyrms.
As her defence was horrifying even before gaining the Earth Wyrm's bloodline, swimming within a lake of lava was no problem towards her at all.
A few hours later she finally came across a Blaze Wyrm, seeing her prey finally before her, Dana grinned with a bloodthirsty look, as she began picturing herself driving her fangs within its neck ripping out its throat, before feasting on its flesh.
Dana quickly shook this thought out of her head thinking that her predatory instincts are getting the better of her again...
Instead of killing this Blaze Wyrm she decided to stalk it until it led her towards the rest of the Blaze Wyrm's, as it already took her long enough to find this one.
By doing so it will take Dana less time rounding them all up by that way, sneakily following the Blaze Wyrm, as if a crocodile would do on Earth by blending within its surroundings to ambush prey she 'imitated' a rock floating within the lava.
Which seemed to work really well, as a Blaze Wyrm was too stupid to realise that a floating rock was unusually following it, as it never truly left this volcano once in its life, thus how would it know of a predator that is actually superior to it?
These arrogant simple-minded thoughts are one of the reasons why Wyrms and Drakes are known for being the stupidest amongst the Dragon Race, as they are known for being 'brutes' with no brains, as they typically possess great strength but have peanut-sized brains.
Feeling that her camouflage was perfect, Dana and the Blaze Wyrm soon arrived at a den which contained five Blaze Wyrm's ranging from the Second-Ranked Xiantian to the Fifth.
Dana eyes suddenly became serious, as she believed this fight with the Blaze Wyrm's would be more troublesome than she thought...
Deciding to use her perfect 'hiding' skills, a floating rock awaited outside of the Blaze Wyrm's den awaiting its prey.
An hour later, much to Dana's delight two Blaze Wyrm's left the den, as she was becoming increasingly closer to losing her patience, due to her naturally being an impatient person anyways.
In fact being able to wait that long is amazing itself, as usually Dana would have charged in and brawled with the Blaze Wyrms, but as they were pretty powerful, Dana decided it would be better to thin down the numbers before attacking them.
Following the Blaze Wyrm's, one of them eventually became
Irritated at the stupidity of its kin, the Blaze Wyrm gave it a backhanded slap for its stupidity.
As a smart Blaze Wyrm, it decided to inspect the rock itself, coming closer to the rock with a look of antic.i.p.ation, 'Maybe this is a magic rock,' it thought, as it praised itself for its intelligence.
But, suddenly a large mouth emerged from the 'magic rock' as it fangs pierced right into the Blaze Wyrm's neck, causing the Blaze Wyrm to shriek in pain.
Its companion upon seeing such a scene was horrified upon seeing it be mauled by a rock, seeing that its kin was at a disadvantage it rushed over to help out its fellow Blaze Wyrm from the mighty rock!
Dana which was currently injecting her poison into the Blaze Wyrm's bloodstream, thus disabling it making it become easy picking for her to deal with at any time, turned her body facing the other Blaze Wyrm with a ferocious look, as the Blaze Wyrm she was previously grappling fell down weakly.
Seeing its companion seemingly lose all of its strength within the next few seconds made the other Blaze Wyrm shown a puzzled look at how it's compatriot suddenly looks so weak when a moment ago it was thras.h.i.+ng wildly against Dana's restraint, putting this at the back of its mind, it launched an attack towards Dana, Fire Qi covering its claws as its paw slashes down towards Dana.
Dana calmy countered the attack by using one of her own, meeting the strike with a layer of Ice Qi covering her claws as they easily defuse the Blaze Wyrm's attack, even managing to leave behind a long gash across its scaly hide, causing dark blood to pour out of the wound.
Roaring at the sudden injury the Blaze Wyrm became even more enraged, being within this volcano has made the Blaze Wyrm never been hunted once within its life, it was always the apex predator within its territory and never experiencing being treated its prey by another being, now it was being played around with by Dana, how can it not be truly infuriated?
The Blaze Wyrm fought like a desperate beast, as it threw attack after attack without caring about the injury, soon enough the beast collapsed due to the severe injuries covering the entirety of its body.
The Blaze Wyrm looked at Dana with a gaze full of fear, as even within its state of throwing away all defence, just purely attacking Dana, it barely managed to cause a single injury on Dana's body apart from a little scratch left by its claw, but this didn't even manage to cut through Dana's hide at all.
As its breath became shallower, the Blaze Wyrm finally breathed its last, as it looked at Dana with a trace of unwillingness knowing the fate of its kin.
Discerning that both Blaze wyrms are, Dana dragged both bodies within her storage ring as she decided that she will gain the Blaze wyrms bloodline when she has received the bodies of each of them, as after receiving the Earth Wyrm bloodline it ended up taking a few days to integrate within her body, thus she intends on taking care of the other three Blaze Wyrm's firstly as not only could she endanger herself as she would be in a vulnerable state, but they may even leave in panic after witnessing the death of their comrades, causing Dana to miss the opportunity of killing them.
With both possibilities being terrible for Dana, she knew that slaying the remaining three Blaze Wyrms was a priority at the moment.
As she dealt with the two Blaze Wyrm's which possessed the highest cultivation among the five Blaze Wyrm's, the remaining three shouldn't be too difficult to defeat, so she is confident enough to use a direct confrontation this time.
A few minutes later Dana arrived back at the Blaze Wyrm's den, with upon her entering, the three Blaze Wyrm's started hissing at the unknown intruder.
Noticing that their cultivations are at the 2nd Xiantian and Third Xiantian, a savage look emerged within Dana's draconic face as she charged into the three of them, initiating a fierce brawl as Dana fought three Blaze Wyrm's at once.
The Blaze Wyrm's den shook as the noises of shrieks and shrills of pain as the four beasts fought a hard battle.
After fifteen minutes, the dead bodies of the three Blaze Wyrm's were littered around Dana's draconic form, which contained a few cuts and gashes obviously inflicted from the battle she had with the Blaze Wyrm's.
Although they didn't have as high of cultivation as the one she previously killed, there were still three of them in addition to them attacking Dana frantically ignoring the injuries on their bodies, they managed to inflict even more damage than the Blaze Wyrm she just dealt with.
Using her new martial skill, water slowly gathered around Dana's wounds before they began to close considerable faster.
Upon seeing such a scene made Dana very pleased, as [Water Healing] wasn't to much of a difficult skill and was only within the martial skill section as it was very valuable as a result of the properties of the skill, it didn't take Dana long to have a good understanding of it.
Thus, seeing her injuries being healed rapidly made Dana very happy with the martial skill itself, as it will only improve within the future alongside her water attribute, thus making her believe that it will be a great alternative for medical pills.
As Dana was within thought, the system's voice sounded within her mind.
[Ding! Host, the system has detected the uncommon bloodline, Blaze Wyrm, would you like to integrate it within the host, or to sell it to the system itself for soul points?]
Upon hearing the system, Dana retrieved the other two Blaze Wyrm's bodies, alongside placing all five in front of her before saying, "Yes, give me the Blaze Wyrm bloodline."
Instantly after saying that, a piercing pain emerged throughout her body, as her size once again increased rapidly, stopping when the length of her body reached 45 ft.
Dana's scales with were originally azure with brown gleams throughout her body started to s.h.i.+ne with a red l.u.s.tre, as traces of blazing red scales emerge within patches on her body.
The Fire Qi suddenly became increasingly larger within her body, until its purity and size matched her Earth affinity, Dana's body suddenly went through an unknown change as she developed a talent fully comparable to a Blaze Wyrm towards the Fire attribute.
Feeling a large power surge, Dana suddenly felt that although her cultivation hasn't improved much, she still felt much stronger.
As the new bloodline refined her Qi making it stronger, Dana will naturally be able to emit stronger attacks in exchange even if her cultivation didn't improve itself, having a bloodline of each attribute will naturally make herself even stronger, with the stronger the bloodline, the more of an impact it has on Dana's strength.
Soon later Dana felt starving as a result of the large expansion of her size, looking at the bodies of the five Blaze Wyrm's her stomach rumbled in antic.i.p.ation for the flesh of the Blaze Wyrm's, licking her lips, Dana dragged her body before taking a big bite out of largest Blaze Wyrm, before long Dana began feasting on the five large bodies, her cultivation improving pa.s.sively the more she ate...
