Chapter 40 Bloodline Gift (Part 3)
The surroundings were filled with thick white smoke, and the monsters could not see the situation above, but could only see a huge black shadow vaguely emerging.
"Roar——"
Lump roared like a dragon.
The smoke dissipated, he tore open the discarded skin, supported his body with his arms and slowly stood up.
The first dragon vein ogre of Erezega was born - if the aesthetic taste of the dragons was not so outrageous.
The monster in front of him could no longer be called an ogre.
He was more than five meters tall and almost the same width. Even his former tribesmen would look like a short dwarf standing in front of him.
The still fat and strong body was covered with bright scarlet scales.
The originally stubby fingers became slender and sharp, and changed from human-like hands to claws with dragon characteristics.
Lump slowly opened his eyes.
The pupils were golden.
Several rows of small red horns protruded on his forehead, making his already ugly and terrifying head even more hideous.
If you can cut open his flesh, you will find that the blood flowing in the body of this ogre magician is boiling hot, full of violent elements, and the base blood vessels similar to those of the dragon race are gradually forming in his body.
Compared with the ogre, the current Rump is more suitable to be called a "dragon demon".
After all, he can no longer be regarded as a pure giant subspecies, but a dragon vein creature with true dragon blood flowing. His life span of only a few decades will be extended to hundreds of years.
Now Rump can even spit out fire breath.
In the panel of Cassius's followers, Rump's data has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

Evaluation: "This dragon vein ogre will turn you into barbecue and swallow you whole."
Its challenge level has jumped to level 10, and key values such as strength, physique, and agility have undergone earth-shaking changes, and a special ability of breath attack has appeared.
At the same time, Cassius can clearly feel that due to the suppression from the depths of his blood, the bond between him and his followers has become closer, and they can no longer disobey orders.
Even the idea of defection in their hearts will be detected.
"The effect is very significant."
Cassius said happily.
But this is what Rumple risked his life to get in exchange for in-depth research on the magic network.
Cassius knew that this was not universal.
"Master, I succeeded."
The tone contained uncontrollable excitement and joy, as well as the satisfaction of a successful experiment as a wizard.
The monster on the boulder, which was more suitable to be called "dragon demon", knelt down to thank the red dragon, and then jumped down, causing a noise on the ground.
"Boss, you are so fucking big!"
"How much more food can you eat!"
The ogres adhered to the principle of "big is good" and cheered for the boss's new form. The only thing they could think of in their simple and crude minds was that they could eat more food if they became bigger.
And Doro's face was covered with gloom.
"Chimera"
Casius called out the second name.
Chimera is the first follower of the red dragon and the top combat power of the Burning Nest.
What's more, it is a distant relative of the dragon. Casius just wanted to do an experiment to try the effect of this "bloodline gift" on dragon vein creatures.
Even if it fails, the red dragon will not feel the slightest bit of heartache, after all, this chaotic and evil beast has no loyalty.
The three-headed monster landed on the boulder, folded its wings, and lowered its head respectfully.
Blood entered the mouth of the dragon's head.
Chimera let out a suppressed roar, and blood boiled in its body.
But it was not as painful as the ogre, because dragon blood was not that difficult to absorb for a creature that was originally a dragon.
The monsters watched quietly around, and Chimera's reaction was far less intense than that of the ogre.
As the blood spread throughout its body, its three heads rose up at the same time.
The dragon's head even spewed out flames involuntarily.
Although Chimera has three heads of different shapes, its will is still one, and the different heads only represent three sides of its character.
The dragon's head drives it to attack, plunder and accumulate treasures, the lion's nature arouses its desire to hunt powerful biological threats in its territory, and the sheep's head makes it vicious and stubborn, fighting to the death.
The original Chimera was based on the lion's head.
But when the blood of grace filled the whole body, the head of the Chimera's dragon continued to expand, and the horny spikes on the back of the neck extended from the head to the back of the body, replacing the lush mane, and the scales gradually grew where the lion's fur was originally.
"Roar--"
The head of the Chimera raised its head and let out a long roar.
Its body expanded rapidly, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It did not have the exaggerated energy absorption method of the ogre, and it stopped growing when it was only more than eight meters long.
And its head grew much faster than the lion head and the sheep head, and its "dragon" character completely dominated.
Compared with the previous contradictory monster, the current Chimera is more like a crooked red dragon, and the sheep head and the lion head have become a burden and an additional item.
"Roar"
After the Chimera finished digesting on the spot, it lowered its three heads again respectfully and roared together.
Cassius could feel that, whether due to strength or bloodline suppression, the Chimera now had completely stopped the idea of rebellion and only wanted to cling to the thigh wholeheartedly.
As for the future, it was hard to say, anyway, there was no "follow to death" in the character of dragons.
Cassius's follower panel also changed.
[Dragon-like Chimera]
Challenge level: 9 (5000xp)
The challenge level of this Chimera reached level 9, second only to Rump.
The power of Chimera's fire breath became more terrifying, and the scales all over its body also made its natural armor value leap forward. The sword of the previous Giant Eagle Knight could hardly hurt it now.
"How could such a beast be before me."
Seeing that Chimera received the gift first, the face of the earth elf Doro became even gloomier.
However, due to the presence of the red dragon, he could only resist the impulse of anger and continue to stand there waiting, but his breathing became more rapid.
