A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 2 Don't drink it, it's dirty.

It's huge, really huge.

Although Xu Lie had prepared himself mentally before coming, he was still amazed by the beauty of dragons when he saw Fenrir's dragon body in person.

The enormous dragon's body was ancient and solemn, its dark blue-black scales dense yet orderly, and its pair of black wings, if spread out, would be enough to cover the entire dome.

Such a form truly lives up to its title as the King of the Earth and Mountains.

Unfortunately, the mighty and majestic Fenrir was now as small as a kitten.

Carefully retracting its front paws, its long, graceful neck, as elegant as a swan's, was bent to a certain degree before it could place its enormous head on the ground, barely allowing Xu Lie to see its entire face.

"Are you my sister's friend? Swoosh, hmm, you have my sister's scent on you, though it's very faint."

Xu Lie's expression was strange. His voice was clearly very authoritative, but why did it always have a hint of innocence and childishness?
The moment he opened his mouth, the Dragon King's majesty vanished!

Seeing that Fenrir trusted him so easily, Xu Lie felt both relieved and guilty for deceiving a fool: "I heard from your sister that you like cola and potato chips?"

"I bought some as a gift."

After speaking, Xu Lie took off his backpack and slowly took out potato chips and cola. Fenrir immediately stopped looking at Xu Lie and focused his attention entirely on the potato chips.

Its amber-yellow vertical pupils were fixed on Xu Lie's hand movements, and the dragon's greedy eyes made no attempt to conceal it.

Xu Lie could even hear the loud thud of someone swallowing. After taking everything out, Fenrir was overjoyed: "Are all of these for me?"

"I believe you are my sister's friend!"

Xu Lie felt a surge of lightness throughout his body; two-thirds of the Scammer's Potion he had taken yesterday had already been digested!

Although it is not yet clear what sequence Fenrir would be in the current Mysterious hierarchy, it is undoubtedly a high sequence.

Sequence 8 is a high-sequence fraud, so it's fine to digest it quickly.

That's right, Xu Lie took a special risk to come to Fenrir in order to get promoted as soon as possible.

In the vast capital city, the only high-sequence being Xu Lie could find was Fenrir, a dragon.

Xia Mi is one thing, although she is the weakest among the Dragon Kings and a disgrace to the first generation of the species, she is smart and not easily fooled.

The restlessness of the nine source substances continued to trouble Xu Lie's mind. After some experimentation, he discovered that someone needed to take charge in order to calm the nine source substances down a bit.

However, Xu Lie couldn't split himself into nine parts and fill them in one by one, so he could only try to get promoted to solve the problem.

Because Xu Lie is able to mobilize a trace of source energy, he can use the abilities of a higher sequence of his own path in advance at a lower sequence level.

In short, Xu Lie, under a sufficiently safe environment with ample time, can currently borrow the high-sequence capabilities of this pathway across three levels.

Coincidentally, the Sequence 4 parasites of the Thief pathway have this ability to 'create clones'.

If Xu Lie can quickly advance to Sequence 7 Decryption Scholar, he can use his clone ability ahead of time. Perhaps he can even allow his clone to reside in the nine source substances and resolve their restlessness.

Fenrir knew nothing of this; he only knew that Xu Lie was his sister's good friend and had specially brought him so many potato chips and cola.

He was as happy as a child celebrating the New Year, his excited breaths constantly exhaling, and the scales covering his entire body rising and falling with his emotions.

He carefully used his sharp claws, which were so sharp they could easily tear through the rock face, to hold up an 18-inch television and place it in front of Xu Lie: "The television says that good friends should watch TV together."

"You are my sister's friend, so you are my good friend too."

"My name is Huang Tao." After this insincere self-introduction, Xu Lie skillfully tore open a potato chip and handed it to the tap.

When Fenrir saw the potato chips, he forgot everything and opened his mouth as if to swallow Xu Lie whole. But Xu Lie was not afraid and poured a lot of potato chips in.

Fenrir was so happy he was practically dizzy. His bright dragon eyes narrowed, and his head lay comfortably on the ground as he chewed and savored the food repeatedly.

"Huang Tao, Huang Tao, I've got it!"

Damn it, why does eating potato chips make me feel lazy?
Before Xu Lie could express any more feelings, a 'crack' sound, audible only to himself, rang out.

The Swindler's Potion, completely digested. Xu Lie now truly considered Fenrir a good brother, wishing he could rush up and hug him tightly and give him a big kiss. Having such a high-sequence being to be fooled at will was simply wonderful!

"Fenrir, open your mouth!" Xu Lie's joy at digesting the potion made him act exaggeratedly, opening two cans of cola and pouring them into Fenrir's mouth.

Fenrir was even happier, his mouth wide open. Only after pouring out both cans of cola did he contentedly close his mouth, not swallowing, but simply savoring the sweetness of the cola with his eyes closed.

Xu Lie also seized the time, opened the material bag he had been carrying, and prepared to prepare the Sequence 7 Decryption Scholar's Potion.

After the transmigration, all the potion recipes underwent numerous changes. Take, for example, the currently concocted incorrect sequence 7 decryption scholar.

The recipe has changed to include ten-year-old dragon blood grass, 100 milliliters of dragon blood, and other materials from the dragon worldview.

Speaking of materials, we must thank the alchemy course offered in the preparatory program.

For more than two months, Xu Lie endured the torment of the nine source substances, working from dawn till dusk to steal.

They either stole their classmates' textbooks and notes and quietly returned them before the next day, or they went to the alchemy classroom to get some materials.

Even if they are discovered by the teachers and students in the preparatory class, they have plenty of excuses to deal with it.

During his time in the preparatory class, Xu Lie not only fully mastered the Thief's Potion, but also acquired a considerable amount of Dragon Blood materials, benefiting greatly from it.

As the dragon blood ingredients were added one by one, the potion transformed from a pool of viscous, disgusting scarlet blood into a steaming pomegranate-red mist.

It even smelled slightly sweet like honey. Xu Lie took a sip and found it incredibly sweet, even sweeter than full-sugar milk tea.

Perhaps the world is different, or perhaps there is no beginning here. When I drank the potion from the deciphering scholar, I did not see any illusions.

Instead, a strange sense of rage surged into my heart.

It was as if a tyrannical dragon had taken up residence in his heart, yearning for slaughter, power, and the intertwining of iron and blood!
This is normal. Xu Lie also had this violent impulse when he drank the Sequence 8 Scammer Potion before, probably due to the change in the potion formula and the influence of the dragon blood.

The violent impulse was easy to deal with; the more than two months of primal restlessness had greatly tempered Xu Lie's temperament, allowing him to easily ignore this violent feeling.

Blood boiled uncontrollably, a torrent of negative emotions swirled violently, and at the same time, endless radiance shone from the depths of darkness.

Each ray of light seemed to contain endless mysteries, yet also seemed to contain nothing at all.

"Huang Tao?"

"Roar?"

Awakening from the brilliance and tyranny, Xu Lie found Fenrir crouching before him, his eyes filled with worry.

At the same time, a lot of occult knowledge immediately came to mind.

Xu Lie knew that this was an enhancement brought about by the scholar's magic potion, which included not only a large amount of occult knowledge, but also an increase in spiritual intuition and improved observation, association, and analytical abilities.

Compared to the agility and thieving skills shown in Sequence 9, the enhanced eloquence in Sequence 8 is quite impressive, considering the abilities granted by the decryption scholar.

Seeing Xu Lie lost in thought again, Fenrir quickly nudged him again. This dragon king had extremely good control over his strength, and even when he nudged Xu Lie with his huge dragon head, he did not hurt him.

Seeing Xu Lie come to his senses, Fenrir was particularly happy: "I'm not drinking cola anymore. I already had two cans."

"The rest is for you, Huang Tao."

"No, I don't want to drink any more dirty stuff." As he spoke, Fenrir involuntarily looked at the cans of cola next to him, his eyes full of longing and reluctance.

Nevertheless, Fenrir resolutely averted his gaze.

Fenrir's good friend Huang Tao almost got himself into trouble by drinking unclean and dirty things in order to get him Coke. How could he accept that?

He used to share potato chips and cola with his sister when she brought them over!

Xu Lie blinked and immediately understood. Good heavens, the precious dragon blood material used in the alchemy course was nothing but filth in the eyes of Fenrir, the first king.
