Chapter 86 Dragon Blood
Chapter 86 Dragon Blood
As the dragon blood entered his body, Wang Chen felt a sudden surge of power coursing through his veins. The energy was unlike anything he had ever experienced before. He could feel his muscles tensing and bulging, his bones crackling and shifting. It was as if his body was being remade from the inside out.
Wang Chen continued to meditate, his breathing slow and steady. The dragon blood was a potent elixir, and he knew that it needed time to work its magic. As he waited, he could feel his body becoming stronger, his senses becoming sharper. He could feel the energy radiating from his core, like a dragon coiled within his chest.
Moments passed as Wang Chen continued to meditate, his body absorbing the dragon blood\'s power. The changes were subtle at first, but as time went on, they became more and more pronounced. His skin began to harden and thicken, becoming as tough as dragon scales. His muscles grew denser and more compact, giving him a raw, animalistic strength. His bones shifted and realigned, becoming longer and sharper.
As he opened his eyes, Wang Chen knew that the transformation was complete. He could feel the dragon blood coursing through his body, infusing him with power and vitality. He stood up, flexing his muscles and testing his newfound strength. With a deep breath, he let out a mighty roar that echoed through the forest.
Wang Chen had achieved his goal. He had tempered his body with the power of dragon blood, gaining a dragon-like defense and a raw, primal strength. He knew that he was no longer the same person he had been before, that he was something greater and more powerful than he could have ever imagined.
[Ding! Congratulations host for intercepting protagonist\'s Liang Wei opportunity and getting 10000 Destiny Points. ]
"Hmm the destiny Points are worth this much for dragon blood." Wang Chen muttered.
"Huh?"
Wang Chen\'s heart raced as he saw Liang Wei approaching. He quickly hid the porcelain bottle containing the precious dragon blood, not wanting to reveal his newfound treasure. "What are you doing here, Wang Chen?" Liang Wei asked, eyeing him suspiciously.
"I was searching for dragon grass and I dug many trees to find dragon grass but I couldn\'t find it so I was resting here." Wang Chen said.
Liang Wei seemed to accept his answer, but Wang Chen couldn\'t shake the feeling that he was being watched. He glanced over at Liang Wei\'s hand and noticed a rusted dagger.
Liang Wei\'s confusion continued as he searched for any sign of the dragon blood that was supposed to be buried in that area. He furrowed his brows and squinted his eyes, scanning the ground for any clues. Meanwhile, Wang Chen nervously watched him, hoping that he wouldn\'t uncover the bottle of dragon blood that he had just hidden.
\'Strange, it did tell me it should be around here but why can\'t I find anything here.\' Liang Wei thought.
"By the way, what\'s that rusted dagger in your hand that couldn\'t even be used as a weapon?" Wang Chen inquired.
Liang Wei\'s expression softened slightly. "This was a gift from my parents before they passed away," he said, his voice tinged with sadness.
"I\'m sorry," Wang Chen said, feeling a pang of sympathy for his friend.
"It\'s fine," Liang Wei said with a small smile. "I carry it with me always as a reminder of them."
As the conversation came to a close, Wang Chen couldn\'t help but wonder about the dagger. \'Could it be the protagonist cheat?\' he thought to himself, considering the possibility that Liang Wei may have some sort of hidden power.
"Hey let\'s search together from now on." Liang Wei suggested but it was more of an order to Wang Chen.
\'So he is suspicious of me now.\' Wang Chen thought.
They started searching for dragon grass, and it was afternoon when they searched every corner of the forest they could find, but they didn\'t find any dragon grass. As night fell, they decided to look for Su Ling. Soon, they found hee sitting near a rock, playing with some grass.
When Liang Wei and Wang Chen saw the grass, they both exclaimed, "Dragon grass!" Su Ling was startled and fell off the rock in surprise.
Wang Chen rushed to help Su Ling up and said, "We searched all day, and we couldn\'t find any dragon grass. Who would have thought you were already playing with it?"
"I\'m sorry I didn\'t know these were the grasses what you guys were searching for otherwise I would have told you guys a long time ago that i found them." Su Ling apologized with her head down and she was on the verge of crying.
Wang Chen gently lifted Su Ling\'s head and wiped away her tears. "It\'s okay, Su Ling. We\'re just glad we found the grasses. Thank you for keeping it."
Liang Wei also comforted her, "Don\'t worry about it. We\'re just happy we found what we were looking for."
Su Ling smiled weakly, grateful for their kindness. She had been sent away from her home by her own father, who had hoped to have her killed. She had been traveling with a group of merchants, but when she had stumbled upon the dragon grass, she had hidden it away, not realizing its value.
Wang Chen felt a surge of pity for Su Ling. He knew what it was like to be alone and betrayed. He had been an orphan himself, and had only survived thanks to his system.
"Let\'s go back to camp and make some tea with these grasses," Liang Wei suggested. "It\'s been a long day."
They gathered up the dragon grass and made their way back to their campsite. Wang Chen sat quietly, lost in thought as he sipped his tea. He knew that the dragon blood would give him the strength and defense he needed to fight against Su Ling\'s father and his assassins. But he also knew that he had to be careful.
As the night wore on, Wang Chen and Liang Wei talked about their plans for the future. They knew that they would face many challenges, but they were determined to overcome them. As Liang Wei and Su Ling both has incredible luck how could they die easily.
Meanwhile, Su Ling sat quietly by the fire, lost in her own thoughts. She couldn\'t believe that she had found the dragon grass by accident. She had always felt like a burden to her father, but now she realized that she had something of value to offer. She looked up at Wang Chen and Liang Wei, feeling a sense of gratitude and admiration for their strength and determination.
The night passed peacefully, and three of them woke up soon.
"So now our plan is to sent Su Ling to her home." Wang Chen said.
"Yeah that\'s the plan." Liang Wei confirmed.
"Su Ling where is your home ?" Wang Chen asked.
"It\'s in the Moon Jade City." Su Ling replied.
"So our next destination is Moon Jade City." Wang Chen said as he got up, " let\'s head out for there."
Liange Wei and Su Ling nodded.
As they walked towards their destination, Wang Chen asked Su Ling about her family and her life in Moon Jade City. Su Ling told them about her family\'s small business and how they struggled to make ends meet. She also shared stories of the city\'s famous landmarks and its bustling marketplaces.
As they walked, they noticed a group of bandits eyeing them from a distance. Liang Wei quickly drew his sword and got into a defensive stance. Wang Chen also stood ready, while Su Ling cowered behind them in fear.
The bandits charged towards them, and a fierce battle ensued. Liang Wei\'s swordsmanship was impressive, and Wang Chen used his martial arts skills to subdue the attackers. In the end, they emerged victorious, with the bandits fleeing for their lives.
"Are you alright?" Wang Chen asked, checking if Su Ling were injured.
"Thanks to you two, I\'m safe," Su Ling said, grateful to both of them.
