Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 120

Upon receiving their leader's order, all the frost giants immediately surrounded the area with their weapons. Although it was intimidating, it wasn't a big deal.

With the protection of a supreme god like Nidhogg, Zhong Xiling could lie down and sleep soundly right now. The Frost Giants wouldn't be able to do anything about her.

……

Meanwhile, Qin Xinru also rushed to the location of the mechanical amethyst dragon as quickly as possible. She fired continuously with guns loaded with fire-elemental magic crystals, finally breaking a gap large enough for the crystal display wall to pass through.

Qin Xinru immediately opened the crystal box and obtained the activation key for the mechanical amethyst dragon. After inserting it into the dragon's head, the giant dragon, constructed of steel and amethyst, successfully awoke.

"Master, LB68, Mechanical Amethyst Dragon at your service. Highest privileges detected!"

The mechanical amethyst dragon immediately contracted the crystals on its back, creating a smooth riding surface. Qin Xinru mounted the dragon's back, and they immediately sped off out of the snow-capped mountain!

Drawing the sword retrieved from the lake, the weapon possessed unexpected properties. In an instant, Qin Xinru felt as if she had truly become a dragon knight.

There was no time for excitement; dealing with the frost giants was the top priority. Qin Xinru immediately rode out on her mechanical amethyst dragon, attracting the attention of all the frost giants.

"Destroy all these frost giants."

After Qin Xinru gave the order, the mechanical amethyst dragon immediately unleashed its powerful crystal burst breath. As the cone-shaped purple light curtain swept down, amethyst began to condense on the bodies of the frost giants it hit.

These weren't crystals that could be forged into currency; they were among the deadliest breaths. As the crystals solidified the frost giants' hands and feet, the amethysts exploded violently in the energy reaction!

In an instant, the frost giants struck by the breath were thrown into disarray. Having lost their dragonsteel javelins, the boulders and battle axes thrown by the frost giants in their panic were easily stopped by Qin Xinru's expanded barrier.

This mechanical amethyst dragon was entirely created using the body of an amethyst dragon and magical metal. It is far more powerful than it actually was in life.

With its flesh and blood completely replaced by an equal amount of magical metal, this amethyst dragon could easily withstand the frost giant's axe strike.

Even when targeted by the Dragon Steel Spears, the spears had no effect on the mechanical amethyst dragon. Even if its body was pierced, the magical metal could be restored to its original state with the real-time replenishment of magical energy.

It can be said that a mechanical amethyst dragon manufactured using this special process would be far more powerful in battle than a living amethyst dragon under the same conditions.

In truth, it is more like a mechanical life form that Zhong Liuxiu created using the body of the Yellow-edged Gold-eating Turtle.

Zhong Xiling, of course, wouldn't be idle either, and she fired her guns wildly at the Frost Giants.

The sudden appearance of the Amethyst Dragon disrupted all the Frost Giants' plans; they never expected such an uninvited guest to emerge from the Crystal Dragon's lair.

"No...something's not right? That amethyst dragon isn't alive; it's a fake dragon!"

Greed once again brought the frost giant leader to its senses. It saw the lifeless glint in the eyes of the mechanical amethyst dragon before it. For a human to ride on its back like this, this amethyst dragon was definitely a fake dragon.

Just kidding, the value of a pseudo-Amethyst Dragon is beyond imagination. Although it's only at the peak of the seventh tier and has no growth potential, it's absolutely loyal!

Whether you seize this item and keep it in the tribe as a ready-made fighting force, or sell it for more wealth, it's a sure-fire way to make a profit.

"Put up shields! Everyone, don't panic, take care of that human with the gun first—kill them all!"

No sooner had the frost giant leader given the order than the amethyst dragon charged towards Zhong Xiling ahead of her. Qin Xinru reached down in mid-air and pulled her onto the dragon's back.

"Wow, how cool! This amethyst dragon is really great. Let's ride it and fly. We should be able to reach the Land of Forsaken Gods very soon."

It's not as simple as Zhong Xiling thought. Pseudo-dragons passing through large city-states like this definitely need to go through entry and exit procedures.

Next, riding the mechanical amethyst dragon, I'll need to obtain some protective documents in Winterfell. This will allow me to easily enter human city-states.

If you bypass human cities, you'll have to take a long and winding road to reach the land abandoned by God.

Therefore, saving Winterfell from the beast tide is the most important thing. They need the city lord there to issue them permits so they can walk freely in human cities.

But Qin He didn't tell them all of this yet. The two beautiful mothers were still immersed in the enormous opportunity of acquiring the Mechanical Amethyst Dragon.

"Hmph~ Qin He, you wait! Your mother and Aunt Zhong will be here to drain you dry right away~"

Upon hearing his mother's defiant speech from atop the dragon's back, Qin He immediately hugged Zhong Liuxiu tightly.

"Okay, okay, Mom~ All we need to do next is imprison these frost giants and do as I say, and we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Although Qin He was delighted, he didn't forget the important matter at hand. He saw Zhong Xiling throw down many fire-type magic crystals, which, due to the amplified magic energy reaction, were about to explode and were flashing with a dangerous light.

Sensing something was terribly wrong, the frost giants who were raising their shields immediately scattered and fled. The frost giant who was the leader ran especially fast—

However, the crystallized breath of the mechanical amethyst dragon still successfully blocked the frost giants' retreat. Qin Xinru also took out the boulder that she had just blocked with the barrier and stored in her spatial scale.

These unique, dark blue-green boulders, used as a ranged attack by the frost giants, were of extraordinary material. Now, being hurled from above by the mechanical amethyst dragon, they naturally sent the frost giants sprawling and crashing into each other. Combined with the explosion of the magic crystals—

These frost giants suffered heavy casualties immediately, but more importantly, it was the magic crystal that Zhong Xiling had buried halfway up the snow mountain according to the plan.

As the frost giant leader was blasted to the ground, the mechanical amethyst dragon immediately retaliated with a breath attack. Then, it tossed down a heavy, dark blue boulder, killing the last surviving frost giant, and the battle was now completely under their control.

The two young white dragons brought by the frost giant, along with many winter wolves and snow bears, were also taken into the spatial scales to await further processing.

After slaying the frost giant leader, the Winter Wolf Fang Charm around its neck naturally fell into the hands of Qin Xinru and her companion. With this charm imbued with special meaning, the two of them could command the pack of winter wolves and snow bears.

The mechanical amethyst dragon immediately turned around and detonated the magic crystal with a breath attack, unleashing a massive avalanche. All the frost giants were instantly buried on the spot.

Chapter 183 Big and soft, but not tasty

The frost giant outside, who would have become his blood feud, died so easily in the explosion of the magic crystal. Seeing this, Deng Liu immediately shrank back.

As the most frequently captured type of dragon, the White Dragon is often fed magic crystals to boost its combat power in a way that is almost like forcing a plant to grow faster.

If the opponent has so many magic crystals, and the power they're talking about refers to being raised by feeding with magic crystals... then as a white dragon, her lifespan, which is already shorter than other dragon species, would be even shorter.

"So, have you made up your mind now?"

Qin He knew that this young white dragon would not miss the opportunity to become stronger.

"I want freedom. If you won't keep me as a pet, I'll stay with you..."

"Whether it's hunting or carrying heavy objects, I'll do anything I can!"

As Deng Liu gazed at the mechanical amethyst dragon soaring in the sky, her resolve to make her choice strengthened.

"But... I don't want to eat magic crystals, I don't want to die so soon."

Knowing that a dragon's fate is determined by its owner, Deng Liu's reaction was actually much more intelligent than most young dragons. Faced with such a teachable white dragon loli, Qin He was quite interested in nurturing her.

Qin He didn't make any further promises; he simply took out a single dragon crystal coin. Shining brightly, this medal-sized object was more than enough to calm the young dragon down.

Young dragons raised by dragon clans generally have little hope of seeing gold coins until they reach adulthood. However, if an elder gives them a single amethyst coin, it can practically make the young dragon obey immediately.

As for dragon crystals, they are even rarer. That lower-level eighth-tier crystal dragon only had a single-digit number of dragon crystals.

For young dragons of this age, dragon crystals are like the most precious treasures. No matter how much treasure their mother possesses, it will never truly belong to them. Many young dragons are forced to leave the nest when they grow up, partly because of the treasure.

"See this? And look here."

Qin He waved his hand and pointed, and Deng Liu saw a dragon's nest in the sand that stretched as far as the eye could see.

The entire place was densely covered with treasures, and there were countless dragon crystal coins!

"Hello, young White Dragon."

Although the Five-Colored Dragons and even the entire True Dragon Clan ostracize the White Dragon, a dragon species with low power, Mulberry, who has White Dragon friends, clearly does not feel the same way.

Trying to appear less ferocious, the plump dragon body of Mulberry rolled around in the treasure pile. It displayed its current wealth to the young dragon.

"Very well, answer me. What did you see?"

Just as Qin He was about to ask a question with satisfaction, Deng Liu replied:

“A…a very fat blue dragon.”

Mulberry's dragon head immediately turned around, and even the soft, cat-like flesh on its cheeks jiggled a little.

"Ugh...you!"

She had already brewed a whole string of dragon curses, but Sang Shen patiently held them back. Reverting to her distinctly graceful dragon girl form, she said:

"This is my real figure. I just have bulimia... No wonder you're a white dragon, you're so bad at talking. Humph! So what if I'm fat?"

Qin He picked up the conversation and said:

"As long as you stay by their side and come to this Forsaken Land, you can use your Dragon Crystals to make your bed. I guarantee you'll become a Saint, and if you're lucky, you'll even become a God."

Only a dragon prodigy like Yan Ling, who can live for four thousand years, can be said to have the potential to become a god. Considering Deng Liu's innate conditions, becoming a god is really not easy.

But Qin He controls the resources of the three Dragon Kings of the Dragon Domain Council. He is the future Dragon Emperor, destined to rule the entire dragon race and even the world.

"Really...really?"

Seeing Qin He's boastful words, Sang Shen immediately tried to smooth things over:

“Of course! Look, I am a Saintly Dragon. And these two over here are also Saintly Dragons.”

Yan Ling and Mo Yu also transformed into their true dragon forms, their magnificent bodies being much stronger and more well-proportioned, which immediately aroused the little white dragon's longing.

Deng Liu was somewhat incredulous, but with the sacred dragon Mulberry lying there, she had no choice but to believe it. So, the young dragon obediently submitted.

the other side--

Having obtained the Crystal Dragon and two White Dragons, Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling took the lead in circulating Dragon Source Battle Qi.

After careful consideration, they decided not to dig out the dragon crystals as spoils of war, but instead to refine them completely.

After cultivating Dragon Origin Battle Qi, they can use it to condense Dragon Transformation Origin Crystals. These crystals can refine the corpses of dead dragons, granting cultivators corresponding abilities and increasing their cultivation level.

The most amazing thing is that even a few pounds of dragon blood can awaken the corresponding dragon abilities in them. To improve, they need to cultivate and refine dragons of the same kind.

In other words, living dragon kings like Bahamut and Tiamat can also be granted abilities through dragon blood, giving them corresponding powers.

Soon, the Dragon Transformation Source Crystal emitted a powerful suction force, transforming the dead three-headed dragon into pure dragon blood and absorbing it into the source crystal.

The two women immediately immersed themselves in meditation, focusing all their attention on refining the abilities of these dragons.

First and foremost, of course, is the White Dragon.

The icy dragon energy immediately merged into the initially transparent dragon source battle energy, causing their battle energy to become agitated for a short period. The improvement was quite considerable.

At the same time, the white dragon's natural resistance to ice magic, as well as its talent for ice spells, were also inherited by the two of them.

Next up is the Crystal Dragon.

The psionic talents possessed by gem dragons are not within the scope of Dragon Origin Battle Qi acquisition. You cannot obtain their psionic talents by refining a gem dragon.

The psychic talent is different from the talent Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu acquired; for humans, it's an acquired talent. The two women's original talents haven't been unlocked yet. Qin He's plan is to unlock their talents only after Celestia returns.

Soon, the crystal dragon's wind and light dragon energy merged into the dragon source battle energy. Although this crystal dragon was clearly wind-type, any crystal dragon could provide these two attributes to the cultivator.

Correspondingly, their resistances and magical abilities were also refined. However, because this crystal dragon primarily used wind magic, the light magic awakened within the two of them was relatively much weaker.

The power of the three dragons was divided equally and incorporated into the Dragon Transformation Source Crystal. Even without meditation, the power of the three dragons would continuously flow into Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling's bodies through the Source Crystal.

The spoils of this trip alone are enough to make them peak seventh-tier powerhouses even without lifting a finger. The most perfect version of Dragon Origin Battle Qi is terrifyingly powerful!

In this era, even fragments or introductory methods of Dragon Origin Battle Qi are extremely rare. Those who can cultivate the complete Dragon Origin Battle Qi are practically nonexistent.

After slightly sensing the increase in his power, his battle qi level, which was previously around the peak of the first tier, immediately rose to the middle of the second tier.

Give them time to continue refining. Once the Dragon Transformation Source Crystal is depleted, they will all be able to easily advance to the peak of the seventh rank. The other small dragons, on the other hand, will not be of much help.

"Mechanical Amethyst Dragon, use your mental attack. Erase all the memories of this crystal dragon, put it to a complete sleep, and then do this... like this."

Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling both felt that this crystal dragon should not be allowed to live; if it were released, it might take revenge when it grew up.

Despite being an ancient dragon that had lived for thousands of years and ascended to godhood, the crystal dragon could not budge Nidhogg's barrier in the slightest. But having arrived in this other world, they were determined not to cause trouble for themselves and Qin He.

Erasure of the crystal dragon's past memories, then implanting false memories of its wild upbringing. With the abilities of a peak seventh-tier amethyst dragon, this would be absolutely easy.

Afterwards, the crystal dragon cub will be sent to the humans in Winterfell. If this crystal dragon is raised properly, it should be more than capable of fighting against the now weakened Frost Giant tribe.

"Hmm... what about the other two white dragons?"

In a corner inside the spatial scale, two white dragons, chained together, stood motionless. Hoping they would regain their courage to help the city's inhabitants fight the frost giants was like hoping pigs could fly.

While Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling were still struggling to come up with a good solution, Qin He said:

"Just roast them and eat them. White dragon meat is the most edible of the five-colored dragons. Since these two white dragons are no longer useful, let's just use them as rations."

Qin He's words made sense. After cultivating the Dragon Origin Battle Qi, Dragon Blood was like a drink that Qin Xinru and Zhong Xiling could easily down in one gulp.

In this situation, it would be better to stew the two useless white dragons.

"Mmm! Although I've only heard about it, we blue dragons have the worst meat quality among the five-colored dragons~ because we're very strong, unlike white dragons."

Mulberry, who was standing nearby, had transformed back into her dragon form at some point. She really enjoyed sliding back and forth among the piles of dragon crystals and treasures.

Blue dragon meat is of poor quality, mainly because they have evolved lightning resistance, resulting in a layer of fat so thick that it is inedible.

However, the red dragon's meat is much better, while the black and green dragons require complicated cooking processes. The white dragon is one of the very few true dragon species that is edible and has very good meat.

As for metal dragons and gem dragons, they contain far too many minerals. Eating them without processing will almost certainly result in poisoning.

"Yes, the blue dragon's fat is thick and tough. Like this—big and soft, but inedible. Mulberry, oh mulberry, all that flesh you have is wasted!"

Mo Yu, standing to the side, extended its dragon claw and patted the dragon flesh on the lower back of the mulberry twice. The water-ball-like texture immediately began to sway; although it was large and soft, its defensive power was truly terrifying.
