Chapter 107: Fusion: Legendary Bloodline

This was indeed an opportunity for taking advantage.

While the Mirage Monsters had the advantage in number and were capable of creating illusions, the Sludge Monsters that they were fighting clearly didn’t count on their eyes in the regular sense.

Therefore, the Sludge Monsters weren’t affected by the illusions at all, and they threw stones at their targets accurately!

Besides, since all the resources were concentrated in the settlement, the Mirage Monsters didn’t have many advantages even though they were greater in number.

It would seem that both of them would suffer a heavy loss by the end of this battle!

The three human beings who were hiding nearby could totally pick the fruits at the end of the battle, for example, by claiming the Sludge Monsters’ settlement core!

“However, there’s just one problem. Are you capable of swimming?” Ji Ye asked Wu Song and Li Qing.

The battlefield had been completely drowned by seawater. Even the Sludge Monsters’ settlement core had been submerged too.

Therefore, to participate in this battle, one must be capable of swimming.

“I can swim!” replied Li Qing.

As a professional scout, he had been through a lot of training, and swimming wasn’t a challenge for him.

“Can you fight in water?”

“Well... it will probably be difficult.”

After a brief stun, Li Qing couldn’t help but shake his head.

Not just him, Ji Ye was also capable of swimming as a professional survivalist, and he was a fairly good swimmer, but it remained unknown how much he could carry out his abilities in a battle against aliens in the water!

“Speaking of swimming, Li Jun, the Ruan brothers, the Zhang brothers, and the Tong brothers are the best at it among the people I know.

“Unfortunately, I can’t really swim!”

Wu Song, on the other hand, simply shook his head.

The chiefs of the Liangshan March were divided into three troops, namely the cavalry, the infantry, and the navy. Lu Zhishen and Wu Song were the top two in the infantry.

The people he mentioned were all the commanders that belonged to the navy. Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoer, Zhang Shun, and the others were all known to be capable of plucking whiskers from dragons in the water. They could hide in the water for days without coming out!

That was definitely an exaggeration of their lung capacity.

However, it wasn’t too great an exaggeration on the Land of Inheritance. If one or two of them could be invited here, an underwater battle wouldn’t be a problem.

Of course, considering the personalities of most “heroes” of the Liangshan Marsh, Ji Ye would rather welcome the Ruan brothers who hadn’t done many bad things than those who used to be villains such as Li Jun and Zhang Shun.

“But we don’t have enough time. Besides, we don’t have additional Souls of Civilization that can direct them here,” Ji Ye frowned and said.

The three of them were only here for reconnaissance.

Before they came, they hadn’t anticipated that the Sludge Monsters would be fighting another alien group so intensely.

However, they had indeed achieved their purpose of reconnaissance, as they had learned the Sludge Monster’s way of defense.

“Huh? The Mirage Monsters are retreating!”

At this moment, Li Qing suddenly exclaimed.

The other two raised their heads, only to discover that it was true.

The “Sludge Monsters” fabricated by the Mirage Monsters on the side of the sea were slowly backing off, and the real Sludge Monsters gradually stopped attacking.

“Is it because of the ebbing?”

Ji Ye thought of a possibility.

The Mirage Monsters must be aquatic creatures. Maybe they were capable of landing, but they only dared to attack the Sludge Monsters’ territory because they could resist the stone cannonballs that the Sludge Monsters threw out with seawater!

If the seawater was too shallow for them to offset the blast of the stones, it would be hard for them to approach the Sludge Monsters’ settlement.

Therefore, they had to retreat first. They probably wouldn’t attack again until the next tide the next morning!

“I don’t think we can take advantage of them anymore,” remarked Li Qing.

Because of the Mirage Monsters’ decision to retreat, the Sludge Monsters didn’t suffer too heavy a loss, and there were more than thirty Sludge Monsters in the water.

More importantly, while the tide was ebbing, the territory of the Sludge Monsters had been turned into swamps because of the seawater intrusion.

That was even less suitable for human beings to fight on than the seawater.

“Chief Wu, many of the people who were brought over just now belonged to the navy, right?” Ji Ye thought for a moment and asked Wu Song.

The Ruan brothers of the Liangshan Marsh couldn’t be directed here for now due to the lack of Souls of Civilization.

However, everybody in the Twin Dragon Mount had been in the Liangshan Marsh, and some of them definitely belonged to the navy. Even though they might not be as good at swimming as the chiefs, they had abundant experience in fighting in water.

More importantly, the Twin Dragon Mount had a lot of Sludge Monster skins at this moment. They could be made into a batch of items with which one could breathe underwater!

“That’s right. There’s about a dozen of them.”

Wu Song nodded.

The cavalry was the largest in the Liangshan Marsh, the infantry was the second, but the navy wasn’t small either.

After all, the Liangshan Marsh was claimed to be surrounded by a huge lake, and their navy played an important role in the resistance against the authorities’ attack.

“The Mirage Monsters will probably attack again in the next high tide. We’ll simply go into the water and seize the settlement core earlier than them.”

Of course, it might be challenging to take this settlement with only a few Ordinary soldiers.

Therefore, Ji Ye intended to lead the troop himself!

The Black Serpent Sword could control water currents, so it wasn’t a problem for him to fight even though he wasn’t too good at swimming.

More importantly, when Wu Song mentioned the “heroes” of the Liangshan Marsh, in particular, Li Jun, the Tong brothers, etc., he was reminded of something else.

“It seems that I have to put this thing into use.”

Leaving Wu Song and Li Qing to stay at the bottom of the valley for observation, Ji Ye returned to the Twin Dragon Mount and took out a box in his room.

Pa!

The box was opened, revealing a glittering blood ball that was the size of a ping-pong ball.

[Black Serpent Blood]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Common (rare)]

[The condensed essence extracted from a Black Serpent’s life force. It contains a small fraction of a dragon’s power, which was degraded by the serpent’s taint. When consumed, the blood will grant the user the power of a Black Serpent. There is a small chance of the blood transmuting to different levels upon use. In extremely rare cases, it will reach the rank of legendary and become the true bloodline essence of a dragon.]

It was one of the spoils he got when he killed the Black Serpent. He had never used it yet because he wasn’t sure that he could get a bloodline through the blood.

According to the introduction, there was about a 90% chance that he could get the Black Serpent bloodline, a 9.9% chance that he would mutate, and only a less than 0.1% chance that he would get the legendary “Dragon Bloodline”.

For the regular people, nobody would dare to try it unless they were gamblers or had talents like “Goddess of Fortune’s Natural Son”.

Ji Ye didn’t have the courage to perform a Fusion earlier either.

However, after going through multiple fusions, and since he understood his talent better, he wasn’t too worried anymore.

Because he could interfere with the Fusion process, he could totally eliminate the useless Black Serpent blood and only fuse the Dragon King’s Blood in it.

Even if he could get the Black Serpent bloodline in the end, there would still be a solution.

He could totally wait until the Fusion talent cooled down before he fused the useless bloodline with something outside of his body to remove it.

Therefore, there were no concerns at all.

So, let the Fusion begin!

Hum!

The Black Serpent Blood in his hand began to glow.

As he expected, there was another light in the middle of the Extraordinary white glow. It was a mysterious orange color!

Silver represented Transcendent, and orange clearly meant Legendary!

The Fusion this time took longer than the Fusion with the Totem Wolf Skin previously.

The light on Ji Ye didn’t fade away until after midnight.

“It worked!”

Ji Ye put on a smile after he opened his eyes.

[Flood Dragon Bloodline]

[Level: Legendary]

[Rarity: Common]

[Introduction: This is the bloodline of a legendary flood dragon king. It’s retrieved from its descendant and its quality isn’t very high, but it can already grant immense power.]

Because it was obtained from the Black Serpent, the bloodline’s Rarity wasn’t very good. Still, as a Legendary thing, it was definitely much better than Common bloodlines.

“Huh? The Black Serpent Blood has been fused too?”

To Ji Ye’s surprise, the Black Serpent Blood, which he had intended to abandon, was fused too.

However, it wasn’t turned into the Black Serpent Bloodline. Instead, it was now a tiny amount of Flood Dragon Blood.

The Flood Dragon Bloodline and the Flood Dragon Blood were different things.

The Legendary Flood Dragon Bloodline referred to the Flood Dragon True Blood that had been melted into his bone marrow. It could create consumable Flood Dragon Blood incessantly.

The Flood Dragon Blood, on the other hand, was the key to carry out the Legendary bloodline abilities. By consuming the Flood Dragon Blood, one would be able to perform the techniques of the Flood Dragons, such as flying or changing the weather.

Of course, that was only the theory.

The Flood Dragon Blood, just like “inner strength”, was consumable. Its power depended on the amount that was accumulated in the body and consumed when performing a technique.

Theoretically speaking, even though Ji Ye had successfully fused the Flood Dragon Bloodline, it would require some time before he could produce the Flood Dragon Blood for fighting.

However, because the Black Serpent Blood was transformed, he had been given some of the Flood Dragon Blood immediately.

Although it was impossible for him to ride the clouds yet, it wasn’t a problem for him to command the waters within a small range.

More importantly, the flood dragon was a creature that had a tough body, and its blood could certainly do more than controlling water and weather.

Theoretically speaking, the hardness and strength of his body would increase as the amount of the Flood Dragon Blood continued to accumulate in his body.

Besides, by consuming the Flood Dragon Blood at a critical moment, he would also be given a temporary explosive buff, which made it more likely for him to kill someone beyond his rank!

“Next, I’ll use some EXP to get the hang of this bloodline ability first!”

After that, Ji Ye spent some time familiarizing himself with the abilities and didn’t stop until dawn.

“Well, it’s time to go down the cliff and finish off the Sludge Monsters!”
