Chapter 231: Battle for Supremacy on Land and Sea (10) (Ask for Recommendation!Ask for a Monthly Pass!Ask for Subscription!)
The metamorphosis took place quickly - the divine power contained in the "Minerva Skull" had an instant effect.
Due to the "passive adaptive" ability of the young blue dragon, this relic of the gods was put to full use.
"Aang!"
In the stunned gaze of the commander of the Nar fleet, Quest threw his head back and opened his mouth wide in a way that a true human would not have been able to reach, and let out a strange undulating roar.
The cry struck the ear drums of all the huncats in the underground hall, and several warriors who had just recovered from the state of "being knocked unconscious" were immediately stunned again in the mixed echo.
Stone chips were peeling down from the dome and walls, and the camel commander didn't have time to pay attention to the others, and ran to the steps of the cave on his own, not wanting to test the strength of the underground structure with his own life.
Quest threw his hands back and held up a gust of wind in the small space, and all the camels were "pushed" to the corners of the wall.
What was he doing?, Commander Nal, as he fled in panic, glanced back. I saw—
The dying alcove candle flame swayed in the sudden gust of wind, casting strange, dancing shadows, and behind the humanoid mimicry of the young blue dragon, the shadows began to swell and squirm like living creatures.
As the shadow rises upward, the shape changes. A pair of huge wings pierced the shadows and spread out, covering an area even larger than the size of this large hall.
Suddenly, the earth cracked, and hot steam spread above the chasm, and deep in the chasm, orange magma glowed with the liquid flames that hung from the mouth of the dragon in its body.
Fire, lightning, and force fields from all directions all converge here. Thankfully, the commander of the Nar fleet reacted in time, otherwise he would have been buried deep underground by the crumbling stones, just like his men.
Transplanting the heart of the golden dragon and absorbing the scales of the power dragon, the "passive adaptive" ability allowed the young blue dragon to successfully complete the mutation and evolution. However, after all, it is caused by "foreign objects", and the physical changes brought about by mutation are not perfect.
In fact, it is precisely because of some inability to control their own power that the young blue dragon chooses to transform into human form often. And "Minerva's Skull" made up for the shortcomings of "passive adaptability" and began to regulate his dragon body from the inside out.
The re-growth of the body size that is far beyond its peers is the most significant change brought about by this "conditioning" - using a larger body size to accommodate more strength - I have to say, it is very reasonable.
Of course, this kind of body adjustment will consume an astonishing amount of energy, and while the body of the Quest dragon multiplies and the bones grow, the muscles and muscles on its body continue to dissolve at a faster rate.
At this time, the divine energy contained in the "Minerva Skull" came into play again, and the remaining power of the ancient human god "Minerva" in the island world was summoned, and the long river of time nourished the "withered" body of Queth.
The power of the gods is to change and reshape reality, but this power is limited by the priesthood and the realm. Fortunately, Quest's "passive adaptive" trait is similar to that of Minerva's Skull.
"Evolution and mutation - absorbing divine energy - optimization and adjustment", the process of the trinity repeats itself until the "self-remodeling" of the young blue dragon tends to be completed, and the divine energy in the "Minerva's Skull" is also exhausted.
Not a little bit, no less, just right.
"Just the right feeling—"
Following the rift that had been torn open by himself, Quis stretched out in the underground magma lake, and the temperature of the lava was no longer enough to help the dragon.
"—this power is awesome!"
Thinking of the divine energy that had just been devoured by his body, the young blue dragon began to involuntarily recall the "taste" of that power, and every cell in his body was excited, instinctively wanting to roar loudly.
However, his IQ is still on the line, and the high ground of reason has not been lost.
Thinking of an island above his head—he now knew it was a volcanic island—and feeling the magma that began to tumble beneath the dragon's body, seemingly ready to rise at any moment, Quest resisted the urge to roar.
After all, his only acquaintance in the island world, the child named Kos, was still on the island, and the location of this volcanic island was good, which was very convenient for the young blue dragon to carry out some of the plans he had already thought of, so there was no need to destroy it.
Thinking of this, Quest's heart moved, and the force field of his arm emanated from his body, pressing the "bubbling" magma downward.
Of course, he is still very clear about the truth that "blocking is better than sparse".
Following the general orientation of the memory in his brain, Quest rolled over and dived into the lava lake, waving his claws and digging in one direction. After estimating in his heart, he began to swing his claws upwards when he had probably reached the right position.
Soil work can be regarded as some kind of talent of the blue dragon, so Quis is very comfortable with it. It didn't take long for him to use his brute force to dig an outlet for the magma suppressed by the force field.
As it excavated, the same optimized "Passive Adaptive Ability" quickly took effect, and the young blue dragon's front paws began to grow longer and sharper, so that it could easily cut through rocks, break earth,
And when he rushed out to swim in the sea in order not to be trapped by the solidified magma of the sea, Quis's sharp claws shrank back to their normal size, and instead grew webbed membranes between their toes, and his tail began to become slightly flattened.
The ability to "passively adapt" seems to be beginning to develop in the direction of "active adaptation". The young blue dragon himself also discovered this change, and couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, whether it is good or bad has to be observed for a while.
On the side of Butiquis, the sudden earthquake, the movement of the young blue dragon digging the passage, and the subsequent volcanic eruption on the sea, terrified everyone on this small island.
The commander who escaped from the underground hall was also out of idea at this point, knowing that it must have something to do with the monster that appeared underground and destroyed the recovery of Minerva's skull (there were no dragons in the island world before).
But there was nothing he could do about it, after all, no one had ever warned him that he would encounter such a "monster" on this mission, so he had no solution plan to match it at all.
And with the eruption of the submarine volcano, the "Nar" battleship that was moored on the outer side of the bay due to the use of catapults to attack the ring base has also fallen into chaos at this moment:
Some would rather risk running aground than rush to the island, wanting to go ashore to seek refuge from the elemental shaman and avoid the threat of the volcano;
Others raised their sails and lowered their oars, abandoning their colleagues on the island and trying to retreat and flee on their own.
Sitting on a rock on a hillside, he wears a layer around his waist that collects herbs from the bushes and chews them improvised.
Gersang's gaze shifted from the wide gap between the two polar bears standing in front of him, confronting a strange shaman and a large number of hump warriors, to the volcano rising from the sea.
At this time, the old camel man couldn't help but think of the proverb he had obtained not long ago when he was communicating the elemental command for divination:
"When the earth boils, it shows great power. The smoke and waves are mighty, and they return with the wind. ”
