After dealing with this peak level nine Thornyback Armored Dragon, Haven finally stopped holding back his aura and took out his long knife and container, preparing to extract dragon scales, flesh and blood, and magic crystals from the corpse of the Thornyback Armored Dragon.

Soon, Haven had looted everything that could be found from the Thornback Armored Dragon.

After collecting the last ninth-level dragon crystal, Haiwen picked up the glass bottle filled with dark red dragon blood in his hand, and a hint of hesitation appeared on his young face.

The Thornback Iron Armored Dragon is indeed very powerful, but it is only at the peak of level nine after all, and it is also the dark dragon that Haven knows the least about. Is this kind of dragon beast really suitable for the bloodline in his body?

So... should I drink it or not?

Just as Haiwen was hesitating, Zuo Yu's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"etc!"

"……Um?"

Hai Wen instantly became alert, his whole body's fighting spirit covered his body surface, forming a shield, and he asked solemnly: "What's wrong, are there other enemies?"

"..." Zuo Yu was silent for a second, then said in a deep voice, "It's not the enemy, it's under your feet, there seems to be another layer!"

"Another floor?"

Haiwen was stunned for a moment, then frowned and stomped his foot hard.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the hard black ground instantly cracked, revealing a hidden cave underneath.

Through the big hole under your feet, you can see a pool of scarlet blood emitting an ominous aura in the dim cave below.

"What's this?"

Haven looked at the pool of blood below in astonishment.

Zuo Yu said in a serious tone: "If my perception is correct, this pool of water should be some kind of dragon blood!"

Dragon blood?

Haiwen frowned tightly and couldn't help but use all his strength to circulate the Dou Qi in his body, forming a thick Dou Qi shield on his body surface.

In his perception, this pool of scarlet blood seemed to emit an extremely ominous aura. Even though it was dozens of meters away, he could still feel a pain like a needle prick.

"Is this really dragon blood?"

Hai Wen couldn't help but ask, "What kind of dragon is it? Why is it so weird?!"

Zuo Yu said in a deep voice: "I don't know, but I can be sure that he must be a being in the Holy Domain or even beyond the Holy Domain. Not only that, I can also sense strange activities in the blood pool, as if they have left the body of the dragon, but are still alive..."

"So weird?"

Haiwen was a little surprised at first, but then he noticed the key point in Zuo Yu's words.

"...Um, Zuo Yu." Hai Wen swallowed his saliva, and asked nervously and expectantly, "You just said that this pool of strange dragon blood... is still alive?"

"Um."

Zuo Yu responded, and then seemed to react, and asked in surprise: "Hey, you want to drink this pool of dragon blood, don't you?"

Haiwen did not deny it, but asked back: "Do you think it's possible?"

"Well, if we have the Blue Heart Grass, maybe it can work!"

Zuo Yu pondered and said, "Besides, with me here, even if you fail, I can protect you from death."

Hai Wen's eyes lit up and he nodded, "Then it's worth a try!"

Having said that, Haven took the dragon blood in his hand without hesitation, and then jumped into the hidden cave below.

After landing, Haiwen, wearing a silver-white fighting spirit shield, carefully approached the pool of blood.

...Is it so smooth?

In the area where the storage bracelet was sealed, Zuo Yu sat on the sofa holding a glass of spirit wine, looking at the light curtain in front of him with some surprise.

At this moment, Haven, who had already walked to the edge of the blood pool, suddenly stopped and silently looked at the scarlet blood in front of him that exuded an ominous aura.

After a moment, he sighed and said helplessly: "It still doesn't work!"

"Um?"

“…”

Hai Wen turned his head slightly, looked at the golden-red bracelet on his wrist seriously and said, "Zuo Yu, can I trust you?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Hai Wen said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, this pool of dragon blood should be prepared by you for me, right?"

"Ah? What are you talking about..."

“Stop pretending.” Hai Wen sighed, “I’m not Lin Lei. I won’t be fooled that easily.”

"Before, he persuaded me to come to the Misty Valley to kill the Thornback Armored Dragon. After I successfully killed it, he didn't let me drink the dragon's blood. Instead, he reminded me that there was a hidden space under my feet. And in this hidden space, there happened to be a pool of active dragon blood of at least the Holy Land..."

"Zuo Yu, don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"

"Also, don't underestimate my magic skills!"

"I am at least a ninth-level earth magician. I can still detect if there is anything underground."

"When I first went down to the cave, I discovered that the ground beneath the Thornback Armored Dragon was shrouded in a mysterious force that even my earth magic couldn't penetrate. However, when you said there was a hidden space underground, that mysterious force suddenly disappeared..."

At this point, Hai Wen sighed and said, "No matter how stupid I am, I know that it was you who controlled it, right?"

"Ha ha!"

Zuo Yu's loud laughter rang in Haiwen's mind.

Hai Wen was slightly startled and asked in surprise: "What are you laughing at?"

Zuo Yu smiled and said, "It's nothing. You can take it as a compliment from me..."

"But since you've already discovered it, why are you still cooperating with me?"

Hai Wen said calmly: "Because I believe you won't hurt me..."

Having said that, Hai Wen paused, turned his head and looked at the scarlet blood pool in front of him that was constantly emitting an ominous aura, which even caused ripples on his silver-white fighting spirit shield, and sighed.

"But there is no way. This pool of dragon blood is too suspicious!"

"Is it...really drinkable?"

Haven looked at the bubbling scarlet dragon blood with some resistance.

Zuo Yu blinked and said honestly: "To be honest, I don't know either, but I know that if you really want to use dragon blood to activate your blood, the dragon blood in this pool is your best, no, the strongest choice!"

"The strongest?"

Haiwen stared at the pool of dragon blood in a daze.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth, took out the azure staff, released wind magic, and tried to take dragon blood from the blood pool to drink.

But when the breeze touched the surface of the blood, a strange energy dissipated, like an invisible sword, piercing the wind element that constituted the magic.

"Can't I touch it with magic?"

Hai Wen frowned and couldn't help asking: "What kind of power is this?"

Zuo Yu smiled and said, “To make a simple analogy, you can understand it as the power of the sun!”

"…What, the sun?!"

Haven opened his eyes wide, then gritted his teeth, bent down beside the blood pool, and drank the dragon's blood with gritted teeth.

"Gudong! Gudong!"

As he swallowed big gulps of scarlet dragon blood, the expected bloody smell did not appear, but was replaced by an intense burning sensation, as if he had swallowed a large amount of red soup made from devil peppers in one gulp. His entire mouth, esophagus, and stomach all felt burning like fire.

“Hiss—hiss—”

After drinking a bellyful of dragon blood, Haiwen finally couldn't help but stand up. With his face flushed, he took out the blue heart grass and stuffed it directly into his mouth without thinking.

In an instant, a cool feeling entered the body as the blue heart grass was swallowed, and then quickly spread to all parts of the body.

Haven immediately felt much better, so he quickly took out a dozen blue heart grasses, stuffed them all into his mouth, then sat cross-legged beside the pool of blood and began to practice the secret method recorded in the Baruch family's "Dragon Blood Secret Book".

Soon, white mist rose from all over Haven's body, and his muscles trembled continuously under the white mist.

“Puff——”

Suddenly, a pitch-black scale emerged from the skin.

Then, dense black scales broke through the flesh one after another, covering Haven's arms, thighs, neck, torso, and even his exposed cheeks with a trace of blood.

Along with the growth of the pitch-black scales, there also came a piercing pain.

Haven couldn't help but growl, and suddenly stood up from the ground, standing naked on the edge of the blood pool.

“Crunch, crunch—”

Countless crisp sounds came from his body, and it seemed that his muscles and bones were growing wildly.

In just a moment, Haven's body size exploded from 1.6 meters to over 1.85 meters. The muscles all over his body also swelled, making the fiery red armor on his body creak.

The next second, Haven suddenly raised his head, his deep blue vertical pupils glared at the cave ceiling above, and he opened his mouth and let out a roar that was not like that of a human.

As he roared, pitch-black sword ridges grew out from his spine, easily tearing through the solid magical metal and breaking through the entire fiery red armor.

At the same time, a dragon tail covered with black scales emerged from the end of his spine, like a bloody black steel whip, making the air around it crackle.

Not only that, there are also small sword-like ridges attached to the dragon's tail that look like steel spikes.

All the patterns on the sword spines were faintly connected, emitting a strange blue-green light.

"really……"

Looking at Haiwen who looked like a human-shaped Godzilla in the light curtain, Zuo Yu couldn't help but smile on his handsome face.

He had suspected this a long time ago. Since the dinosaurs in this world are also considered dragons, then Godzilla, the king of monsters, should also be considered a dragon, right?
