Chapter 91: The Red Scale Road (IV)

Alger led the two to the entrance of the Giant's Mouth Cave. Singo landed gracefully on his flying dragon, while Mantou arrived late.

"This is it. I will take you to see the master."

When they walked into the cave, they felt it was steaming hot and filled with the smell of sulfur and pumice, like a crater about to erupt.

Mantou was still terrified: "There won't be any more trials, will there?"

Singo said calmly, "No, I guess this might be the residence of our faction leader, the red dragon. Did you notice the strange smell and unusual temperature?"

"According to the information I received, dragons can even change the environment around them."

Mantou sighed and said: "If this becomes a boss, he will become a world boss and a lot of people will die."

Mantou didn't know that his guess was correct.

Walk along the narrow rock tunnel.

Soon, the view in front of them became clear, and the two saw the owner of this place - the red dragon.

What came into view was a 16-meter-long giant body with thick and knotty muscles, covered with hard dark red scales with a metallic luster on the edges.

On the ferocious and huge head, the golden vertical pupils were full of power, flashing with lava-like light, and the two thick bone-white horns that swept back were like a crown.

This red dragon lay in the center of the cave, its huge body as big as a hill rising and falling with its breathing, and white smoke coming out of its body from time to time. Just by looking at it, one could feel the burning heat of its body, just like a volcano about to erupt.

This was the first time they saw the true form of the camp leader.

Mantou couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my god."

After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with any description given his level of education, so he could only add a sentence in a sloppy manner.

“It’s so fucking big!”

The two half-grown flying dragons were so frightened by the powerful blood pressure that they lay down, their bodies pressed tightly against the warm ground, making gurgling sounds deep in their throats, and refused to raise their heads no matter how Mantou beat them.

Seeing someone coming, Cassius slowly stood up, and his pair of golden vertical pupils looked down at them from seven or eight meters in the air.

"Hello again, Starfaller."

"Are you—ready?"

Alger half-knelt on the ground with his head lowered, and reported: "Master, they have completed the trial you set."

Cassius narrowed his eyes and lowered his head slightly: "Very good, this is beyond my expectations."

As he spoke, the two could almost feel a sulphurous hot air blowing on their faces. The pressure emanating from the behemoth in front of them alone made them feel a little panicked.

The red dragon continued, "Red Scale Conqueror, you will be my sharp blades, and from now on, you will shed your weak and powerless human shells and become the most loyal minions of the Burning Embers Nest."

Mantou muttered quietly: "What a pity that my handsome face has to be ruined by this."

Singo cursed inwardly, "Do you still want to lose favorability? If not, stop talking nonsense."

Cassius ignored them and said calmly:

"Alger, get ready to start."

The half-dragon knight took a step forward and recited the oath he had prepared long ago: "In front of the Lord of the Burning Embers, the great red dragon Cassius, are you willing to swear allegiance to the Burning Embers Nest and spend your entire life as a loyal minion of the Burning Embers Nest, regardless of good or evil, right or wrong, and use your flames to conquer everything for your master?"

"Are you willing to become the Red Scale Conqueror?" The task information on the panel refreshed.

[Do you accept the camp sub-profession [Red Scale Conqueror]? If you accept, please follow the ceremony.]
[Note: After selecting a faction sub-class, you will be locked into that faction and cannot switch at will.]
A string of oaths appeared below the panel.

"I, Singo, swear allegiance to my lord Cassius Claube, Noricius, and pledge my loyalty to the king, to burn all enemies and conquer all."

The two players knelt on one knee and said in unison.

"Very well, please follow me."

Alger blindfolded the two men with a scarlet cloth and led them and the wyvern deep into the cave to the hidden rock cave.

"Blood gift——"

"Half-dragon transformation."

Cassius muttered in his heart, and several drops of boiling dragon blood floated in the air according to his will, and then merged into the bodies of the two players.

When the dragon blood came into contact with the fragile flesh, it immediately made a sizzling sound and even emitted white smoke.

"what!"

When the hot blood entered his mouth, Mantou couldn't help but scream and rolled around on the ground wildly.

"Damn it, my pain threshold is set to 5%, why is it still so painful?"

"I want to turn off the pain!"

Singo couldn't help but breathe faster and his whole body turned red.

White steam gushed out from the pores and spread all around.

Beneath their skin, the joints of their elbows, knees, backs, etc. bulged wildly, piercing the skin, penetrating the clothes, and turning into sharp bone spurs and barbs.

Red scales grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, appearing all over the body, on the chest, arms and even face, tearing the skin apart.

The faces of the two people that were originally scanned from reality were also messed up by the dragon-like bones and scales. Only a few original traces could be seen, and now they looked more like ferocious dragon head skulls.

Although the pain system was shut down in time, Mantou was still scared and information kept refreshing on his panel.

[Getting data...]
[You get the special race template [Half-Red Dragon]]
[Note: This racial template is a permanent template, and will be used when resurrected.]
[Your various attributes are greatly improved, and you gain natural armor, flame breathing and other semi-red dragon abilities...]
Mantou, who was blindfolded and still undergoing transformation, stared at the constantly refreshing information and felt extremely refreshed. If he could control his body and speak, he would have at least said "awesome".

The two-legged flying dragon "Noodles" beside him was also undergoing a transformation. It kept hissing and struggling. The red scales covering its body became harder, and its slender body became stronger and larger.

Basal vessels began to form in its flesh, and its blood radiated with fiery elemental power.

And there is a more unknown change happening...

[Digitization in progress...]
[Dataization completed!]
[Verifying various parameters...]
[Parameter detection completed! ]
[Detected that the wyvern [Noodles] is your special sub-class mount, it will be considered as part of the player's class system, so when the mount dies, you can revive it from the ancient magic circle, but you need to consume items of corresponding value.]
"Can the mount be resurrected?"

"I rely on!"

"This profession is invincible!"

Mantou browsed the panel information in the dark and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
