The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 218: Physical Strengthening Gland, Dragon Transformation Combat Body
The team's exploration mission lasted for seven days. During these seven days, the team encountered some attacks from fire lizards, but compared with the first day, these attacks were minor.

Richard didn't even need to do anything, the wizards in the team took care of it.

The only pity is that the team explored the civilian area during these seven days. Apart from some fire elemental gems used by the Salamanders for decoration, there was no significant gain.

In this world where the fire element is unbalanced, fire gems, which are difficult to form in the ordinary world, have become quite common. The quality of the gems used by the common people of Salamanders is almost as good as the gems inlaid on Richard's staff.

Seven days later, the white wizard who came from behind began to take over the exploration work of the team.

Street fighting requires constant vigilance of the surroundings. This feeling of mental tension is a burden even for wizards. When the burden becomes heavy enough, negligence may occur.

But negligence on the battlefield often costs one's life.

Therefore, rotation exploration is very necessary.

After the rotation, all members of the White Wizard Team exchanged contact information with Richard. For them, whether it was a powerful wizard or a reliable repairman in times of war, they were both worthy of communication.

After the rotation, Richard left the front line and returned to the floating city, ready to see what secrets this race, temporarily called Salamanders, had.

The floating city has now landed, and large numbers of logistics wizards and engineering wizards have begun to carry out construction around the floating city.

Richard originally wanted to build a small house for research just like in the Insect Nest World.

But after entering the floating city, Richard was told that as a technical consultant and representative of the Wizarding Chamber of Commerce, the headquarters had reserved a room for him in the floating city.

This saved him a lot of work.

Follow the logistics wizard to the room, which is a room located on the basement floor of the floating city.

This room was supposed to be the residence of a wizard on an expedition, but now the world has arrived and the war has begun, so these rooms have begun to be transformed into warehouses, synthetic beast breeding bases and other functional places.

If Richard wasn't there, this room would probably have to be remodeled.

"Here is your key. If you have any questions, you can come to the logistics department to ask."

The logistics wizard handed the key of the room to Richard and then left the room.

After the logistics wizard left, Richard checked the entire room. This was not because he suspected that the command center would leave him any surveillance equipment, but in case the last wizard who lived here missed something, he would find it and deal with it.

Many of the things that wizards study are dangerous. If they don’t understand them, even a second-ring wizard may be in danger of his life.

According to a story passed down by word of mouth among free wizards, a second-ring wizard suffered an acute allergic reaction due to a poisonous insect left behind by another wizard, and his body was destroyed in just a few seconds.

After checking, Richard made sure there were no other wizard's belongings left in the room.

So he opened the crack in the secret realm and took out the fire lizard he had thrown in before.

The injuries on Salamander's body have recovered under the treatment of World Mushroom, but he is in a deep coma at the moment. Even if he recovers, he can only be slaughtered by others.

There was no furniture in this room, so if Richard wanted to perform an autopsy, he could only prepare the dissecting table himself.

So Richard took out a pile of blue mushroom iron, and under the effect of alchemy, the pile of blue mushroom iron turned into a simple metal dissection table.

Richard also used blue mushroom iron to make himself a few surgical tools to facilitate the dissection later.

After securing the salamander on the dissecting table, Richard took out a wizard-version shadowless lamp for lighting.

This shadowless lamp is a product of the Wizarding Chamber of Commerce. Richard doesn’t know how it works, but the effect is indeed good.

Turning on the shadowless light, Richard looked at the salamander on the dissection table and couldn't help but praise it.

"it's beautiful."

This fire lizard was two meters and one meter tall, humanoid, and covered with fiery red scales. These scales had a layer of glaze, and under the illumination of the shadowless lamp, they reflected a light red light.

But that's not why Richard praised it.

Richard took the scalpel and scratched the salamander, muttering as he did so:
"This muscle distribution is simply perfect proportion."

The muscles of the salamanders were hidden under their scales, but this did not affect Richard's observation of their muscles at all.

The muscles of the salamander look like they were drawn by a painter. Every part is very coordinated and has a symmetrical beauty.

"I really want to explore your secrets more and more."

Richard looked at the salamander with a fanatical look in his eyes.

Without hesitation, Richard used his scalpel to cut the salamander open bit by bit along the lines he had drawn.

Information about the salamander's muscle structure, organ location, organ function, neural network, etc. were gradually presented to Richard during the dissection.

But when Richard finished the autopsy, he fell into thought.

Richard removed his gloves and gently touched the cup of salamander blood he had collected.

[Ingredients: Fire Lizard Blood]

[Substances that can be extracted: Pure dragon blood]

[Refining consumption: 2000 mana]

"They are indeed dragon blood." Richard looked thoughtful, "But without the help of runes, how can these fire lizards suppress the expression of dragon blood?"

Before, Richard guessed that the salamanders were dragon blood species. But after the revelation, Richard found that although some characteristics of salamanders were very similar to dragons, some fundamental characteristics were very different from dragon blood species. For example, the blood of salamanders was completely non-corrosive, which was impossible for dragon blood species.

Even after many generations of interbreeding, the dragon blood bloodline will be corrosive, resulting in the concentration of dragon blood in each generation being at the same level.

Therefore, in theory, the blood of any dragon blood species is corrosive.

But the fire lizard in front of him overturned Richard's entire understanding of the dragon blood species.

"Expeditions to other worlds can indeed bring unexpected things to wizards." Richard said with fanatical eyes.

After sewing up the body of the fire lizard, Richard threw it back into the secret space. He then took out the bodies of the Royal Dragon Warriors wearing golden masks from the secret space.

These corpses were thrown into the secret realm by Richard and were "preserved" by the World Mushroom. Now that they were taken out, they looked as if they had just died.

"It's been a long time since I've dissected the body of a Level 2 creature."

Richard sighed and began the autopsy.

The body structure of the Royal Dragon Guard Warrior is closer to Richard's understanding of dragon blood species than the fire lizard he just dissected, but it is only close.

Although the organs of the Royal Dragon Guard Warriors showed signs of dragonization, the dragonization was not complete, as if something was suppressing the expression of dragon blood.

Likewise, the blood of the Royal Dragon Guard Warrior is not corrosive.

"This is strange. Could it be that the life core of the ancestors of this group of fire lizards mutated? And then it just happened to shut down the corrosive part of the dragon blood, or a certain part of their life core can just suppress the expression of dragon blood?" Richard muttered to himself while looking at the body of the Royal Guard Dragon Warrior.

"Otherwise the change is really hard to explain."

In natural evolution, it is very common for organisms to mutate. But in most cases, these mutations are malignant, but the evolution of life often begins with some benign mutations.

However, although the Royal Dragon Guard did not reveal the secret of the Salamander bloodline to Richard, it did provide Richard with other benefits.

When he dissected the bodies of the Royal Guard Dragon Warriors, he discovered the existence of the physical strengthening gland. Moreover, this gland was found in all the Royal Guard Dragon Warriors he obtained.

This means that Richard can obtain pure dragon blood by refining the flesh and blood of these fire lizards, and then cultivate physical strengthening glands.

But the premise of all this is that dragon blood must be corrosive.

Richard lightly touched the collected blood of the Royal Dragon Guard Warriors with his fingers.

[Ingredients: Fire Lizard Blood]

[Substances that can be extracted: Pure dragon blood]

[Refining consumption: 5000 mana]

"refining."

The next moment, the blood that Richard collected in the beaker disappeared instantly. In less than a breath, a drop of golden dragon blood wrapped in magic power appeared on Richard's fingertips.

In this drop of dragon blood, Richard could clearly feel the powerful and brutal vitality.

The extracted dragon blood is corrosive!
As long as it is corrosive, Richard can cultivate physical strengthening glands.

But at the same time, Richard had another question in his mind.

Is the dragon blood extracted from the Miracle Furnace the most original dragon blood, or is it dragon blood that has been inherited for many generations and may have mutated internally?

If it is the latter, then the secret of the fire lizard will be revealed, but if it is the former, then there are still two possibilities for this question.

"Anyway, I have found the physical strengthening gland, and my dragon-transformed combat body has been completed. As for what secrets these fire lizards have... there is still a long time, and there is plenty of time to study them."

As he had not expected that he could make progress in dragon transformation during the plane war, Richard had to spend some magic stones to get some active flesh and blood from the logistics department for the cultivation of his clone.

Since the dragon blood this time was not the blood of a baby dragon, Richard directly cultivated a second-level body.

There is a difference between the organs cultivated in a first-level body and those cultivated in a second-level body. The higher the level of the body, the stronger the effect of the cultivated organs.

As for the physical strengthening gland, the most important part of the dragon-transformed combat body, it is most appropriate to cultivate it with the second-level body.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

In the laboratory, Richard carefully removed the physical strengthening gland from the clone's body. This gland looked only the size of a baby's fist, and was light red in color, with a faint fragrance that made people want to eat it.

Richard took it out, then used his flesh and blood to manipulate it, carefully opened his own stomach, and stuffed the gland in.

Although the ability to manipulate flesh and blood is not obvious during combat, it can save Richard a lot of effort when doing certain experiments involving flesh and blood.

If this operation is performed on someone else, the soul must leave the body, and then magic power must be used to control the instruments to perform surgical modifications on the body.

But for Richard, he only needed to insert the gland into his body and then manipulate the flesh and blood in his body to easily complete the transformation.

Soon, Richard transported the gland to the lower part of the heart, and then connected it to blood vessels and nerves...

Finally, when the first drop of blood flows through the physical strengthening gland, the activity of the physical strengthening gland finally begins to recover. Strengthening hormones begin to flow through the blood vessels and into the limbs of the person being examined.

Richard's dragon-like combat body finally completed the most important step.
