chapter 220 part 2
Tang Zheng was now planning to move himself to the forefront, though this "forefront" was an intentionally crafted identity.
A genius alchemist and a faith-based magic chanter!
He would use this identity to indirectly complete some of his plans. Something like "reputation" was sometimes much more useful than crude combat.
It would also make it easier to reveal misleading information, diverting some of the attention of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, which would arrive in the future, away from him.
"The Blood Emperor has caused a little trouble. As expected, it's best not to get too close to smart people like him."
Tang Zheng chuckled and shook his head. He already had a general idea for his next steps.
Although it might seem like a waste of time, for Tang Zheng, who had mastered teleportation magic, it was only a waste of time on the surface.
Behind the scenes, it was enough time for him to accomplish many things.
"Heh, no rush. I do need to think carefully about my Class, though."
Tang Zheng's gaze deepened. He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, chanting in a low voice:
"High-Tier Teleportation!"
*Shua!*
The space in the room distorted slightly.
Tang Zheng's figure vanished. As his vision shifted, a scorching heatwave and an orange-red glow filled his eyes.
The central area of the Lava Zone.
He didn't need to worry about the group of Dwarf Artisans placed on the periphery for now. Under the leadership of the Gray Dwarf Forging Minister, a master Rune craftsman, all the Dwarf Artisans had become his apprentices. They were all diligently learning rune craft, and with the Lizardman's sacred treasure, the 【Great Wine Jug】, those Dwarf Artisans were so content they had forgotten all about leaving.
Ignoring the terrifying temperature of the central area.
With a wave of his hand, Tang Zheng took out a crude rock, as tall as two men, from his item box.
It was a rock with a groove in the center, which was currently filled with a large amount of crimson blood.
Dragon blood!
The moment the deep crimson blood was exposed to the air, a faint pressure was released. An ancient aura vibrated, pulling the surrounding high-temperature air into a tornado that spiraled up around the dragon blood.
This pressure had no effect on Tang Zheng, but it could inflict a powerful mental shock on ordinary creatures.
Tang Zheng looked at the gradually forming high-temperature tornado and slapped forward with his arm, his expression blank.
*Bang!*
The fierce force made contact with the air, producing a dull boom. The forming high-temperature tornado was scattered with this single blow.
Tang Zheng casually stored his clothes and jumped into the dragon blood to soak. The night he had stayed in Carne Village, he hadn't actually stayed in their village at all, but had similarly used teleportation magic to return to the Lava Zone and soak in dragon blood.
He had experimented with it over the past few days and had already gained a basic understanding of the dragon blood's effects.
Drinking dragon blood would increase certain attributes.
Soaking in dragon blood, on the other hand, would grant a corresponding increase in resistance.
For example, after soaking for the last two or three days:
「Weak Poison Resistance」 had already evolved to 「Poison Resistance I」.
...
Passive: Poison Resistance I
Effect: Effective against low-grade toxins (≈ below Lv. 20).
...
Tang Zheng closed his eyes slightly, immersing his entire body in the dragon blood with only his head exposed. The thick, bloody smell assaulted his nostrils, causing him to frown slightly.
The foul smell was a small price to pay for the benefit of increased 「Poison Resistance」.
Because dragon blood was not ordinary blood, even though its master, the ancient fire dragon, was dead, the blood still contained a unique power.
Ordinary objects couldn't bear this power at all.
Tang Zheng could only carve a large stone from the surrounding mountain wall of the Lava Zone, turning it into a simple stone tub to hold the blood.
Time passed bit by bit.
The dragon blood in the stone groove, originally somewhat viscous and glowing with a crimson luster, had clearly faded a bit. Even its level had dropped by about half a fist's distance.
Soon.
Tang Zheng opened his eyes and, with a light leap, jumped out of the groove. His entire body was flushed red, covered in red marks.
Regarding this.
Tang Zheng paid it no mind. Instead, he waved his hand, storing the stone in his item box, and looked at his stat panel. "My 「Poison Resistance」 didn't increase any further."
"As expected, just like drinking the blood, there's an upper limit. However, since the red marks are still on my body, it should still have some effect."
The effect of dragon blood wasn't just increasing "Poison Resistance"; it could also increase "Fire Resistance."
It was just that Tang Zheng had already obtained "Fire Attribute Nullification," so this effect from the dragon blood couldn't manifest.
"A pity that the blood of the Sun Anglerfish can't increase my attributes." Tang Zheng thought back to drinking the Sun Anglerfish's blood a few days ago, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
The dragon blood was already bad enough to drink; the Sun Anglerfish's blood was even worse, and its foul smell surpassed that of the dragon blood several times over.
"Is it because the dragon blood already increased my basic stats, so the Sun Anglerfish's blood can no longer provide a boost?"
Tang Zheng had this suspicion, but he couldn't be certain.
Based on the experiments conducted with the ghoul dog, ordinary creatures could not directly consume either dragon blood or the blood of the Sun Anglerfish.
The "dragon blood" contained a curse.
The "blood of the Sun Anglerfish" contained a high temperature similar to magma.
After waiting a moment.
Tang Zheng observed the red marks on his body. After they had all faded, the magical power within him surged.
"Flight!"
His figure soared into the air.
Tang Zheng quickly changed his clothes in mid-air and began to probe the surrounding mountain wall of the Lava Zone again.
He was searching for the ancient fire dragon's cave. The creature's lair was sure to contain a large amount of treasure, but a dragon's lair was obviously not easy to find.
Tang Zheng could only resort to a clumsy method, searching bit by bit. He had no choice, as he had yet to master any useful exploration-type magic.
Speaking of which.
Tang Zheng had always been very interested in the other Dominator, but during his search over this period, he had not found any trace of them.
After carefully searching this area to no avail, Tang Zheng took out his pocket watch to check the time. "It's time to go back."
"High-Tier Teleportation."
Space twisted.
In an instant, Tang Zheng was back in his inn room in E-Rantel.
By now, the two who had gone to buy supplies had already returned.
In the empty corridor, the Green Leaf Witch stood quietly outside Tang Zheng's room door, looking like a servant on guard duty.
As a fluctuation of magical power emerged from within the room.
The Green Leaf Witch, carrying a bag, finally walked to the door and knocked gently.
