Chapter 729 Melting Blood... Dragon Blood!

one year later
In an underground laboratory in the suburbs, Noxie looked at the latest experiment report, half leaned on the chair, and let out a long sigh of relief.

It finally worked.

It's not easy!

A year ago, not long after King Schrader ordered the old dean to be summoned, his mentor, who already understood everything, resolutely left the Academy of Sciences with his directly subordinate researchers.

In his words, even if there is no way to stop it, he is unwilling to provide even a little bit of help for this kind of experiment that will ruin the future of mankind sooner or later.

By the way, the above words were said by him while pointing at Noxie's head and scolding before he left, which was really impressive.

After the sudden loss of so many senior researchers, Noxie was somewhat helpless. Fortunately, Wang Ting urgently dispatched some manpower from various places, which barely maintained the normal progress of the experiment, but time was inevitable. From the originally expected three months, it was abruptly extended to one year.

During this period, the monster who was suspected of possessing thousands of ancient dragon bloodlines and abilities seemed to have fought the black dragon again, and this time the result was that the black dragon was slightly better.

The price was that hundreds of kilometers of forests were completely turned into a boundless purgatory covered in tar and lava.

The battle between [Kings] has always been so cruel, and it will cause irreparable damage to the surrounding terrain at every turn.

Although the aftermath work is very tricky, Noksi has also collected a batch of flesh and blood tissues from the two taboo creatures, which is really hard to say.

"Have the experimenters and devices been prepared?"

Nuo Kexi stood up in a hurry, and while putting on the coat that hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time, and was inexplicably blackened, she asked the assistant beside her.

"It's all ready. In addition, the attendants at the royal court said that the king will also bring his ministers to watch."

With a slight pause in his footsteps, Nuo Kexi frowned, but his expression soon returned to normal.

"Forget it, it's unlikely to fail anyway, it doesn't matter."

……

"The experiment went very smoothly. Although the external characteristics of the manifestation are not outstanding enough, the results of the three rounds of blood tests are already obvious. The blood vessels of the subjects 1 to 5 have been completely changed."

In the semi-open laboratory, while instructing his assistants to take the five pale teenagers back for recuperation, Nokexi glanced at the group of old men who were vaguely separated and whispering.

Although they look weak, each of them is an important minister in charge of the kingdom's important affairs, and they were also [general level] strong men who fought bloody battles on the front line back then.

It's just that time is not forgiving, a hundred years have passed, and now the ability to move the mouth is probably far stronger than the ability to move the hands.

Will I be like this one day?

For no reason, such an idea suddenly popped up in Noxi's heart.

"Thank you, Noxie."

Compared with a year ago, King Shurad, who looked older and his silver hair began to turn pale, nodded towards Noxie with the support of his followers.

The king's body feels worse day by day, is it almost time?
"Wang, in fact, you can also consider blood fusion..."

In the middle of Noxi's speech, he noticed the angry eyes cast by the ministers around him.

But after hesitating for a while, he finally said what was in his heart: "The stability of the current experiment is enough to ensure safety, and the enhanced experimental data shows that after blood fusion, there will be a very astonishing increase in both life expectancy and physical fitness. .”

"..."

Wang's face was still calm without much expression, but he said inexplicably tiredly: "I appreciate your kindness, but neither I nor the rest of the royal family are suitable for this operation."

"We are people who have long been abandoned by the times. The future of this world does not depend on us."

Noxi didn't understand King Schrader's words. Just as he was about to ask further, he saw the other party wave his hand, and turned away with the support of the attendant.

"What do you mean by those words?"

Noxi looked at the ministers who were also silently following behind King Schrader, and for some reason, felt uneasy for some reason.

I just hope it's an illusion...

……

Following the success of the experiment code-named [Blood Fusion], the entire territory of the Shurad Kingdom radiated across the entire continent. Countless teenagers and girls between the ages of 8 and 14 with excellent aptitude were sent to the capital one after another by various villages and towns.

Although even middle-aged and elderly people can perform [Blood Fusion] surgery without hindrance, minors who are not yet fully developed have higher potential and adaptability.

Of course, in addition to the half-grown children, some warriors with outstanding military exploits and outstanding strength in the frontline troops have also undergone [Blood Fusion] surgery one after another.

At the moment when the manpower and equipment are not enough to meet the mass operations of the people, it is still necessary to carefully select personnel who can become an immediate combat force, especially at the moment when the friction between the kingdom and the ancient dragon is becoming more and more intense.

Another thing worth mentioning is that the first batch of teenagers and girls who underwent surgery, after gradually passing through the weak period after surgery, their bodies also experienced varying degrees of mutation.

The most notable feature is that the ears have become pointed elf ears, the fingers have become a four-finger structure, and the soles of the feet have become dragon-like claws, including five claws and hooves. The specific shape seems to be inherited from related to the dragon blood.

Among them, two teenagers and girls from the same family showed very rare signs of bone hyperplasia, with silver-white and golden-yellow dragon horns growing from the top of their heads, and gained special abilities similar to the authority of ancient dragons .

The ecstatic King Xiu Leide even directly took out two twin dragon slayers from the king's treasury, [Silver Elegy] and [Golden Splendor], and bestowed them on the families of the two young girls as inheritance. use.

……

On this day, Nuo Kexi said goodbye to her family in a hurry, and hurried to the royal court hall.

There, there are already quite a few colleagues, familiar or unfamiliar, who have been waiting there for a long time.

"Noxie, thanks to you, we have been victorious on the Eastern Front recently...Those powerful [Dragon Blood Warriors], even against ancient dragons, can evenly win."

A strong man with a huge sword on his back greeted Noxi from a distance.

Level [-] Commander of the Eastern Front of the Shreid Kingdom - Luo Fan

He was also one of Noxie's former comrades-in-arms.

"Ah...it's good if I can help, but remember not to let your people use the bloodline ability continuously. A few days ago, there was a dragon blood warrior in the outer sea army who overdrawn the bloodline ability. After the battle, he fell into a state of madness and completely returned to his ancestors. The dragon species that the bloodline belongs to... We are dissecting the corpse for the past two days, and there is not much progress yet."

"From the current point of view, this phenomenon seems to be irreversible, but as long as the blood capacity is not overdrawn, it will not have much impact. You can rest assured about this."

Noxie whispered to his former partner beside him who hesitated to speak.

Although this matter is confidential, because it happened in the frontline troops, everyone knows what should be known, and there is no possibility of covering it up, so it can only be said to minimize the impact as much as possible.
