I, Who Have Been Reborn as a Poison Dragon, Am Being Persecuted by the World - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Hunting Out at Sea Again!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lei Luo slept very soundly. He did not know if it was because his strength had grown or if he had obtained new characteristics. However, after tasting new delicacies, he felt that his body had become stronger again.

While he was sleeping, the inherited memories of the Dragon Race were activated in his mind again.

Compared to before, these inherited memories contained more information. Most of the memories were related to the description of the bloodline talent [Characteristic Synthesis], as well as the future direction of development.

Lei Luo woke up after a good sleep and began combing through his inherited memories, separating what he needed to remember from the unimportant information.

There were only three key points.

Firstly, the level of characteristics that were fused with his poisonous breath would increase as his level increased, while the level of characteristics that were fused with his body would not. Instead, the same characteristics had to be extracted and merged.

However, if the characteristics integrated into the body were not as strong as the body, it would lose its effect.

Take the [Hardness] characteristic that Lei Luo had integrated into his body for example. When the characteristic could not keep up with his physical strength, the effect would be gone. However, even if the effects had disappeared, the characteristic would continue to exist. The disadvantage was that it could not be automatically upgraded and had to be combined with the same characteristic.

Secondly, there was no limit to the increase in the level of his poisonous breath. If he could become a Demigod, his poisonous breath and his characteristics would also rise to the Demigod level.

Meanwhile, the characteristics that he had fused with his body would have their own limits.

The [Hardness] characteristic was extracted from rocks. No matter how hard rocks were, they could not compare to an adult dragon’s body. Therefore, this characteristic was destined to be eliminated. No matter how much of the [Hardness] characteristic was extracted, it could not be fused. It could only be used in the early stages.

This was just like how the power of 10,000 ants combined could not compare to a single claw of a dragon. That was a qualitative difference which was difficult to make up for with numbers.

Thirdly, after advancing to Level-4, [Characteristic Synthesis] would not only work on a single characteristic. Instead, conflicting characteristics could also be fused with his poisonous breath. He could also choose to conceal a certain characteristic.

Currently, Lei Luo had fused the [Fire Poison] characteristic into his poisonous breath, which had a corrosive effect. With the addition of the [Ice] characteristic, it would bring about a freezing effect and conflict with the corrosion. Thus, its power would be greatly reduced.

If he reached Level-4, he wouldn’t have to worry about the two conflicting characteristics. Instead, they would merge perfectly under the power of his bloodline.

The corrosive effects of his poison would be stronger without destroying its frozen state!

Furthermore, as long as one had a pure Dragon Race bloodline, one could achieve Level-4 after adulthood. If one worked a little harder, it would be very easy to achieve this goal ahead of time.

Lei Luo checked the inherited memories in his mind, and his dragon eyes lit up slightly. “Level-4 creatures can absorb the fusion characteristics at will, and there’s no need to worry about conflicts between characteristics. I can even hide a certain characteristic. It looks like I have to speed up my progress.”

“My body seems to be a little weak since birth. It’s much weaker than the other Poison Dragons in my memories. I still don’t have enough energy to replenish it.”

“It looks like I have to hunt more advanced creatures in the future.”

He got to work as soon as he thought of this. Lei Luo came to the beach and changed direction from where he’d previously been out to sea. He took advantage of the fact that it wasn’t dark, flapped his wings, and flew out. He was ready to hunt more and come back to eat supper.

The reason why he didn’t hunt in the same area frequently was mainly to avoid attracting the attention of other powerful creatures in the ocean.

…

When Lei Luo set off, it was difficult for sunlight to shine through the slightly dark deep sea.

A creature covered in blue scales, with the head of a fish and the body of a human, held a pitchfork and controlled the seawater, pushing its body to slowly swim around.

Its tiny eyes kept moving as if it was patrolling.

After looking around, it suddenly sped up. A layer of light blue energy surrounded its body as it advanced forward.

It skimmed through one sea area after another, looking around briefly without stopping.

This was a sea demon. Specifically, it belonged to the Merman Race.

The surrounding sea area belonged to the Merman Race. As a watcher of the sea area, he had come out to patrol and observe.

The sea demons were the overlords of the ocean. They, who were favored by the ocean, felt that they needed to maintain the ecology of the ocean and give back to the ocean. Thus, they started to engage in regular patrols.

This merman seemed to be in a good mood. A series of bubbles appeared from his mouth.

He had already patrolled more than half of the area and hadn’t discovered anything unusual. There was also no trash that had been thrown into the sea by humans. He would only patrol again in three years. This was truly something to be happy about.

“There’s still a little bit left. Let’s find a place to rest first before moving out. I don’t need this bit of time.”

The merman swam to a coral cluster that was suitable for sleeping and immediately thought of sleeping.

His race had determined the amount of time for each patrol. However, it was normal to delay the patrol for a day or two.

With this in mind, the merman waved the pitchfork in his hand and summoned a dark blue bubble to envelop it. He gently landed on the coral and fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in the last small area he was going to patrol, a silent massacre was happening.

Lei Luo folded his wings and lay quietly at the bottom of the sea, watching everything coldly.

Just now, he had already spat out three mouthfuls of poisonous breath, infecting the surrounding sea. At this moment, it was gradually eroding the creatures in this area.

With the addition of the Second Growth characteristic, the power of his poisonous breath was more than double that of before.

This was because the poison that had invaded the body at the very beginning might only be able to invade the surface of the skin due to the physique of the organism. However, the second round of invasion started from the location of the first invasion. Thus, it was faster and more easily fatal.

In just half an hour, any creatures that were at Level-2 and below had already fainted. The weaker ones were already lifeless.

At this time, only two Level-3 One-Horned Seals and an initial-stage Level-4 Water Lion did not faint.

“The resistance ability of high-leveled creatures is not bad. It seems like I have to integrate some special characteristics into my poisonous breath. Otherwise, I won’t be able to use it against enemies.”

“Just the Second Growth characteristic isn’t enough. I have to concentrate the poison on them.”

“Also, I can’t just rely on my own poisonous breath. I can’t give up on the Dragon Race’s physical attacks and dragon language magic either.”

On the seabed, Lei Luo calmly analyzed his own strengths and weaknesses.

After this hunt, he could clearly see his advantages and disadvantages. There were many areas he needed to make up for. Fortunately, he still had enough time.

“I can’t wait any longer. Kill!”

After accumulating the remaining poison in the sea on the Level-4 Water Lion, Lei Luo rushed up and ambushed the One-Horned Seals.

Because they were deep in the sea, no sound could be heard. There were only huge waves rolling on the surface of the sea.

In the face of a sneak attack, panic flashed in the eyes of the two One-Horned Seals. Then, their eyes turned red as they roared angrily. The single horn on their heads summoned out water arrows that shot downwards.

Gu ~ Gu ~ Gu ~

With a dull sound, Lei Luo wrapped his wings around himself and chanted a Water Shield Spell.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

The water shield shattered and the arrows hit his wings, disintegrating into specks of energy and disappearing without a trace.

After such a buffer, Lei Luo had already arrived in front of the two One-Horned Seals. Without any hesitation, he aimed his claws at their eyes and drew a line across while spitting out a mouthful of poisonous breath..
