As soon as the ore entered his mouth, it evaporated into a gaseous state and entered his body as a result of the bloodline talent [Characteristic Synthesis].
Scorching air circulated through his body. Lei Luo frowned and clamped his mouth shut.
If he opened his mouth and released the gas, he would have suffered for nothing.
Fortunately, this state did not last for long.
Just as Lei Luo was about to collapse, the gas calmed down, followed by a warm and comfortable feeling like sunlight.
The previous experience was like an illusion.
"I've finally made it." Lei Luo heaved a sigh of relief and began to sense the energy characteristics in his body according to the records in his memory.
He had extracted two characteristics from the ore he swallowed: [Fire Poison] and [High Temperature].
Lei Luo pondered for a while and chose to fuse [Fire Poison] with his own poison.
[High Temperature] was not bad as well, but he had to go into the sea to hunt. It was difficult for him to unleash the characteristics of [High Temperature] underwater, so it would be better for him to fuse it with his body in the future.
It would take an hour for the Characteristic Synthesis to complete, so Lei Luo simply lay on the ground and waited while sensing the changes in his body.
As time passed quietly, he did not feel anything in the other parts of his body. He simply felt that his throat was getting more and more itchy. He could not help but want to roar and spit out a dragon breath.
When the synthesis reached the most crucial point, Lei Luo forcefully endured it.
Finally…
After extracting the [Fire Poison] characteristic and fusing it with the Poison Dragon's poison, Lei Luo couldn't help but stand up and roar.
"Roar!!!"
A dragon breath shot forward.
Lei Luo's face lit up with pleasure. It felt better than sleeping with a woman.
The sea breeze blew, bringing with it a cool breeze.
Lei Luo shook his body and reached the rock that was covered by his dragon breath.
The combined toxicity of the Fire Poison characteristic and the Poison Dragon's breath wasn't obvious on the rock.
However, he could clearly see that the surface of the rock, which was covered in his dragon breath, had turned from gray to green. Furthermore, there were traces of dark red in the middle of the rock that went deep into the rock and spread out in all directions.
These were the effects of his dragon breath on a rock. If this occurred inside the body of a creature, the effects would be more obvious.
"The effects are pretty good. I should continue to strengthen it."
Lei Luo's dragon eyes were filled with joy. He turned around and swallowed another ore.
…
An hour later, the second ore was also absorbed. Lei Luo then integrated the Fire Poison talent he had extracted and strengthened it.
Meanwhile, after swallowing the two ores, he already felt full and was unable to continue the fusion.
Lei Luo did not force it. He laid down and waited for tomorrow to continue the fusion.
He did not plan to go far to hunt in the near future. He would first devour the ores and fuse them with his body before heading out to sea.
Perhaps he could fuse some characteristics into his body and not just add them into his poisonous breath.
Lei Luo's eyes flickered. He had more ideas regarding this supreme bloodline talent.
For example, the [Hardness] characteristics of rocks was not bad when added to the body.
This characteristic of rocks was of no use at all to an adult dragon, but Lei Luo was still a young dragon at this moment. It had only been slightly over a year since he was born. Thus, the characteristics of rocks were quite useful to him.
According to human age, Lei Luo was currently equivalent to a one-month-old baby.
With many thoughts in mind, Lei Luo fell into a deep sleep.
In the following days, Lei Luo would swallow two ores on time every day to extract their characteristics and synthesize them. Then, he spent his free time familiarizing himself with dragon language magic and fighting techniques.
Occasionally, he would go into the sea to catch fish for a change in taste. His life was rather smooth-sailing.
The Fire Poison characteristic that was extracted was fused into his poisonous breath. Other than that, two other characteristics, [Deep Erosion] and [Explosion], were also added to his poison breath.
Meanwhile, he had only added the [Hardness] characteristic that he had extracted from rocks to his body. This increased his resistance to attacks.
Originally, he had only been mining ores at the edge of the extinct volcano, but now, he was close to the mouth of the volcano. The number of characteristics that he had integrated into his body and poisonous breath had increased, and his fire resistance had also increased.
After consuming all the ores he had stored, Lei Luo went to the mouth of the extinct volcano once again to mine.
He looked into the interior of the volcano. From his vantage point, he could clearly see that there were many bright red ores in the middle of the volcano. They were all extraordinary ores of high purity. One of these ores was the most eye-catching.
It was a Level-3 extraordinary ore, the Earth Core Lava!
However, according to the color on the surface of the ore, the Earth Core Lava would quickly evolve to Level-4. Thus, it was far from something that Lei Luo could swallow now.
Fortunately, he was the only dragon on the entire island. He had to be patient. After all, everything here belonged to him.
"The effects of the Characteristic Synthesis talent are not limited to ores. However, the only ores I can find on this island are the ores from this extinct volcano. Furthermore, the number of characteristics that I can extract from these ores is too little. It's time to go out and hunt in the sea."
"I wonder what characteristics I can extract from those extraordinary creatures."
"I have to grow up as soon as possible and take all the benefits. Then, I'll leave this place and investigate some things."
Lei Luo swiped his claws across the ground. After all, he had a human soul and had lived alone for a long time. Thus, he wasn't particularly used to it and wanted to go to his group.
Furthermore, according to his inherited memories, the Poison Dragon's bloodline was viewed with hostility by other races, so their parents wouldn't leave their newborns outside unless they had no other choice but to take the risk.
Two years had passed since he was born, but his parents in this world had yet to appear. Something must have happened.
After all, he had borrowed the body of another person's child to come to this world. He couldn't pretend that nothing had happened. Instead, he had to work hard to improve himself and find out the exact reason. Then, he would find his parents in this life to repay them.
If he wanted to complete all of this, he had to have the strength to suppress everything. Otherwise, if he were to leave the island and be beaten to death not long after coming ashore, how could he accomplish what he wanted to do?
Lei Luo pondered for a moment, then flapped his powerful wings, raising a gale. His body rose into the air and flew towards the sea.
Without anyone to teach him, he could only fully develop his bloodline talent.
After arriving at the beach, Lei Luo folded his wings and sank into the sea. As he did so, he controlled the poison in his body to prevent it from infecting the seawater.
After using his poison for a long time, Lei Luo had more experience. If he integrated his poison into the water ahead of time, even though there would not seem to be much changes on the surface, the power of his poison would be neutralized by the water element. As a result, its power would be reduced.
In the past, he did not know how to control the poison in his body. Now that he knew, he naturally could not make such a low-level mistake.
Lei Luo's fierce gaze surveyed the sea, searching for a target.
He started from the place where he caught the Alligator Snapping Turtle last time and gradually moved forward.
As he moved forward silently, Lei Luo avoided some big creatures with abnormally strong bodies and auras. He maintained his rationality and clarity of mind, and did not attack blindly.
Half an hour later, he spotted a creature hunting among a school of fish.
The creature had pale golden scales all over its body. Its mouth was very long and filled with sharp teeth. Meanwhile, it relied on its huge tail that was like an oar to travel through the sea. There was a protrusion on its head and its four limbs were thick.
It looked like a crocodile from his previous life, but the memories in his head told him that it was a golden lizard with a sharp horn protruding from the middle of its head.
If the sharp horn appeared, it would be a Level-3 creature. Thus, this creature should be a peak Level-2 creature.
Although Lei Luo had yet to reach Level-1, it was suitable to deal with this creature by combining the toxins of many characteristics.
If his poison was strong enough, it could cross realms and affect creatures of a higher level.
