Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 66 Steady Progress, Hunting Fifth-Tier Flying Eagles
"Whirlwind Technique, Steel-Melting Dragon Breath."

The two additional skills, Gale, come from the diluted bloodline of the Storm Leopard, while Steel Breath is an ability that dragons naturally acquire as they grow into adulthood.

Gale is a type of area-of-effect skill that can be very useful on large-scale battlefields. It can even have other surprising effects when combined with Ground Spike.

As for the Steel Dragon's Breath, it actually relies on exhaling breath through its mouth.

Of course, this kind of breath requires charging up, similar to first taking a big gulp of magic power, and then using the newly formed spellcasting organ of the Rock Steel Dragon to release this magic power.

This process will not spit fire, water, or ice, since its element is earth, so it will expel a strong corrosive earth-elemental airflow.

This corrosive property possesses a strong earth-based power, capable of corrupting all matter and hostile entities into a rock-steel-like form. Ultimately, with just a thought, these rock-steel structures will instantly turn into a sky full of metallic particles.

For both skills, Lin Ke only needs to close his eyes and sense them to clearly receive the information about his bloodline inheritance.

"Big is good, huge is strong!"

"Although being big makes me a target, I don't have that worry at all because I have shapeshifting abilities, right?"

"I hope I made the right choice!"

Lin Ke murmured to himself.

"So, next, we need to make good use of our game time."

"Let's get moving! We need to find York a mid-tier magical beast with the wind element!"

"We need to improve York's strength as soon as possible, otherwise, if he expands wildly and grows too strong, he will inevitably be powerless, both internally and externally."

In this world, the bloodline infusion ritual does not necessarily have to be performed when one is close to breaking through a higher level.

The success rate is only slightly higher when you are close to breaking through to the next level.

There are many other factors that can increase the success rate.

For example, one of the most important factors is that when a superhuman undergoes a blood transfusion, they must choose a superior bloodline of the same attribute for infusion.

Otherwise, if you switch blood across attributes, the success rate will drop by 60-70% from the existing rate.

At the same time, by using magic cores with matching attributes as a catalyst and monster blood as medicine, the success rate can be increased to the greatest extent possible.

Of course, the arrangement of the formations during the ceremony must not be neglected.

Even if all of these are done, the success rate of intermediate-level bloodline infusion is still less than 35%.

However, when it comes to high-level blood transfusions, the success rate drops sharply, sometimes to less than 10%.

At higher levels, each blood exchange is essentially a test of willpower and a gamble on luck.

If the success rate were even slightly higher, wouldn't all the mid- to high-level human powerhouses in this world be running away?

This is why bloodlines are so important to a family in this world.

Because if one's ancestors or parents have reached a higher level or even a higher level, then the probability of their descendants directly awakening a higher-level bloodline is greatly increased.

Therefore, in this world, noble families of human bloodlines are all very proud.

Because ordinary people have virtually no chance of rebelling against these noble bloodlines!

In this extraordinary world, the nobles of the various human kingdoms have almost monopolized all knowledge and resources, so the solidification of class is far more terrifying than imagined.

They don't need to worry about rebellions by commoners or even slaves; they only need to be wary of enemies within their own ranks, and of course, also of foreign enemies from outside—that's all.

Therefore, if Linko wants to make the Swamp Territory truly powerful, he must prioritize cultivating York, since if York is strong, his offspring will naturally have better aptitude.

Of course, in the best-case scenario, York's legal wife, Lucia, should also be groomed.

Because in this world, human superhumans are most likely to have children when they are still at a low level.

Once an individual reaches the intermediate level, it becomes very difficult for ordinary women to conceive their children.

If an intermediate-level person wants to have a child, they must be with a low-level or intermediate-level partner, and the probability of pregnancy will be greatly reduced, at least several times lower than the normal probability of pregnancy for ordinary people.

At higher levels, it becomes even more difficult to conceive; it's possible to conceive only once every thirty to fifty years. And the pregnancy cycle for high-level magical beasts and elves, which are long-lived species, is even more exaggerated.

Therefore, at this stage, Linko is pleased that York has discussed taking a 'concubine' with his wife.

At least, this would ensure that when Linko upgrades York to the mid-tier, the Smith family of Swamp Territory will have enough new generations.

This time, York's wife, Lucia, did not come to pay her respects because she was nearly seven months pregnant with her second child and was about to give birth, so she couldn't afford to travel so quickly.

Lin Ke comforted him and said he wouldn't blame him.

In short, Lin Ke is currently very satisfied with all aspects of the swamp territory at this time.

The only thing I'm dissatisfied with now is York's strength and the quality of his subordinates.

However, Lin Ke believes that once the next simulation day begins, the Swamp Territory will change dramatically once again.

"After 500 days of simulation, I'm afraid I'll be cursed to death again." "The game forums will probably be filled with lamentations once again."

"But you can't blame me for this. If you're fast, you'll be fast all the way. You have to compete in the game too. It's just a matter of sacrificing your friends to save yourself."

Lin Ke smiled wistfully to himself, then suddenly changed the shape of the dragon he was controlling.

A fifth-tier Storm Leopard has appeared.

Its feathers are more beautiful and smooth than those of a goshawk, and its wingspan exceeds eight and a half meters.

Its body length is over five meters, and its standing height is over two and a half meters.

Overall, it was less eye-catching than the dragon.

So, controlling his body, Lin Ke immediately took to the air.

This time, Lin Ke also flew at low altitude, trying to reach the foot of the Monster Mountain Range with as little noise as possible.

soon.

We've arrived at the territory of the One-Horned Demon Bear.

"Awooo!! Awooo!!!"

When the unicorn bear saw the figure of the Linco leopard appear, it was momentarily stunned, but the next moment it came to its senses and ran towards the place where Linco had landed with fawning eyes.

Although the appearance of the demonic leopard was quite different from what the unicorn demonic bear knew before, the unicorn demonic bear naturally knew who had come through the blood pact.

Furthermore, Lin Ke had previously informed it that it was coming soon.

Moreover, through the second form and magical fluctuations that Lin Ke was displaying at this moment, the Unicorn Demon Bear clearly knew that the Rock Steel Dragon had become even more powerful.

So it knelt down and immediately exclaimed excitedly, "My lord!"

Congratulations on becoming stronger!

"Could you let me see your magnificent dragon form?! I'm genuinely curious."

Lin Ke landed on the ground, looked at the excited expression on the bear's face, and nodded slightly.

"Of course you can."

Lin Ke withdrew the transformation spell and immediately reverted to the enormous size of a dragon, over twenty-one meters long, with its head raised nearly four stories high.

"Wow!!! My Lord, you've become so big. So big!" (Stuttering continues)

"Excellent, excellent! Our lord will definitely be more powerful than those overlords deep in the Monster Mountain Range in the future."

The one-horned demon bear was startled, and its instinctive fear made it instinctively shrink back.

However, once it came to its senses, its eyes immediately lit up.

Although the unicorn bear looks big and silly and doesn't understand many things, it can still judge good and bad in simple terms.

Although it was unaware of Lin Ke's special abilities, the dragon's rapid improvement still gave it a strong sense of security.

The source of its sense of security is naturally its joy at having gained a powerful backer with an astonishingly rapid growth rate.

It's only natural to be happy.

Lin Ke didn't want to say much to it, since it probably wouldn't understand even if he explained.

Therefore, right now, let's get straight to the point:
"I accept your praise. Now, Big Bear, do you know where there are any mid-level wind-attribute magical beasts around here?"

"Perhaps I should grant you an extra territory as a reward for your loyalty last time."

Upon hearing this, the unicorn bear's expression immediately became excited.

Territory? Another territory? Even just an expansion would be good! It would give my unruly children and grandchildren more room to grow.

'This is great! This reward is wonderful!!'

So it said without hesitation:

"My lord, it's right to the east! It's that fifth-tier eagle. It used to bully me all the time, thinking it could fly and always coming here to hunt for food."

Fifth tier, a flying eagle?

Lin Ke's eyes lit up; this was a worthy opponent.

It's done!

However, we can't just come at it directly. We need to let this big, clumsy bear provoke it and get it angry. If we can win in one move, that would be best. After all, making a big fuss won't do Lin Ke any good.

Therefore, Lin Ke stared intently at the unicorn bear with a thoughtful look.

That gaze sent shivers down the spine of the one-horned demon bear.
