Chapter 169 Chimera's Curse

I saw that Xingluo's body was covered with star array diagrams. He was multitasking and superimposing calculations. Xingluo's mage-level mental power was pushed to the limit. Looking at the curse wrapped around Chimera in the distance, he deduced it bit by bit without missing any details.

Well, it was dark magic, a curse involving blood. Even if it was diluted many times, the power of the curse reduced Chimera's overall strength by one third. If it was fighting against the night elves, its strength should be even lower.

It seems that their ancestors swore an oath with Chimera blood. After so many years, the blood has been diluted so many times, but the power of the curse is still so powerful. It seems that if we want to break the curse, we must start with the blood.

He no longer restrained his breath, and dragon might began to radiate instantly. Many chimeras that were still in the air were frightened and stopped suddenly, looking at Xingluo with horror on their faces.

The Chimera King also looked at Xingluo immediately, but he did not show too much fear, just a strong sense of dread. He flew towards Xingluo quickly, hovered in the air 20 meters high, and looked at Xingluo quietly.

"Hello. I'm Xingluo from Luoshen Academy."

Chimera glanced at Xingluo, still looking at him warily.

Xingluo continued, “Our mercenary group is an ally of the forest elves and an enemy of the night elves.”

At this moment, the Chimera King finally reacted and instantly began to descend to the ground: "You said night elves? Are you the enemy of the night elves?"

"Yes, we were fighting the night elves a while ago."

"Human, what is your purpose here?" The relationship between the Chimera King and Xingluo eased instantly. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Since Xingluo is the enemy of the night elves, then he is a human who can cooperate with him.

"I would like to invite you to join the Sky City Mercenary Group." Xingluo paused slightly and observed the reaction of the Chimera King.

"Human! Our current situation is to escape the curse brought by the night elves, but you want us to submit to humans!"

The Chimera King roared angrily and dispelled some of Xingluo's dragon power. Chimeras began to fly here one after another, covering the sky and the sun, as if it was the end of the world.

Xingluo showed no fear and continued, "Not to submit to me, but to be my ally and partner."

"Human, you are underestimating our Chimera clan. You are not qualified enough."

Xingluo frowned slightly, and released his mage-level spiritual power. He slowly said, "Now our mercenary group already has forest elves and red-bearded dwarves. And you can see that the dragon power on me comes from the black dragon that signed a contract with me."

Xingluo called out Xiao Hei as he spoke. The Chimera group, which had just recovered some of their spirit, scattered again in an instant. The suppression from their bloodline caused the fighting power of these sub-dragons to decline again. Now their strength was only half of their peak period.

The King of Chimera lowered his head as he looked at the black dragon that was taller than him. Xiao Hei obviously didn't understand what was going on and looked at Xing Luo with a puzzled look. Xing Luo briefly explained the current situation.

Xiao Hei understood what he meant and instantly released his dragon power to the extreme. Then, a breath of dragon breath pierced the sky. Looking at the huge black dragon, the Chimera King lowered his head even lower, while the other Chimeras around him could only tremble in place.

While the Chimeras were still recovering, Xingluo continued, "You can follow this black dragon in the future. I can provide you with food and a place to live. I will also help you expand your tribe and try to break the curse on you as soon as possible."

He has already thought of a method, but it's a bit too laborious for Xiao Hei. He probably won't be able to break the curse of a few chimeras before Xiao Hei faints.

He planned to find an ordinary Chimera to try first. He didn't want to cure the Chimera King first. He could see clearly the contempt in the other dragon's eyes.

"What? You can help us break the curse?"

"Well, as a great magician and pentagram alchemist, I have some ideas on how to break the blood curse."

"Bloodline curse? I didn't expect you to figure out the source of the curse in such a short time."

The Chimera King was still a little hesitant. After all, they just wanted to find a cliff to live in seclusion, but the existence of this curse greatly reduced their combat effectiveness. If they were targeted by other forces, they would face a catastrophe.

"Xingluo continued: "Join us, follow the Black Dragon, and your achievements in the future will be limitless."

The Chimeras also heard the conversation here, and looked at the Chimera King with hope on their faces. Obviously, these Chimeras were a little tempted. Xingluo had long discovered that these Chimeras had been hiding here for a long time to avoid the pursuit of the night elves, and their food had been exhausted. In addition, their strength was greatly reduced, and the Chimera teams that went out hunting returned with injuries.

The King of Chimera was obviously aware of their current situation, but in order to avoid being enslaved by the night elves, they betrayed their oath, took on the curse, and chose to leave.

"You really won't restrict our freedom to fly in the sky."

Xingluo secretly laughed. It seemed that they were also somewhat tempted, but because they did not know Xingluo well, they had not made up their minds yet.

Xingluo began to mobilize his magic power. The Chimera King thought that Xingluo had lost his patience and was about to attack them. He was shocked and said quickly, "Stop! Even if you join us, we still have to discuss the details, right?"

The King of Chimera didn't dare to gamble, because all of them were his people, not only young Chimera, but also old and young ones, which was why he had to swallow his anger and talk to the human for a long time. But later, when he saw the dragon language of Black Dragon and Starfall, he was ready to bite his teeth and agree first. Unexpectedly, this human was even more impatient than the dragon and was about to attack.

Xingluo was slightly stunned when he heard what the Chimera King said, and secretly laughed, "You misunderstood, I was planning to show you where I live."

The Chimera King breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt a little embarrassed again.

Xingluo waved his hand and directly showed the caves of various sizes dug by the dwarves. This was the scene he had captured in advance with magic. He had already made sufficient preparations to convince this group of Chimera.

Looking at the huge caves, the King of Chimera secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the other party had already prepared everything for them. Looking back at the young Chimeras, he lowered his head to the Black Dragon again.

Xingluo took out the contract that he had prepared long ago and handed it over. The King of Chimera was secretly alert. He looked at the contract for a long time and found that it was not a master-servant contract, but a cooperative relationship. As long as they did not betray the mercenary group and obeyed reasonable requests, the other clauses were actually some clauses to protect them from being bullied in the mercenary group.

The Chimera King did not hesitate any longer and signed the contract, swearing on the future of the entire Chimera clan.

Xingluo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally there were air units, from now on, Xiaohei would be responsible for training them. Xingluo turned around and forgot about Xiaohei who was about to go back to sleep, he couldn't just eat and drink for free and do nothing.

Xingluo turned to look at Xiaohei and said, "Take them back to the mercenary group and use dragon language magic to cover up their aura so as not to cause too much of a stir."

Xiao Hei snorted reluctantly, turned his head and said a few words to the Chimera King.

The King of Chimera began to gather the surrounding Chimeras and packed up to prepare for departure. Xingluo saw that everything was arranged here, so he asked the Chimeras for several large bottles of Chimera blood, preparing to go back first to study the blood curse. He seemed to have regarded the Chimeras as his own property and was very concerned about them.

With Xiao Hei around, Xingluo felt relieved and began to use teleportation magic to rush to the station. He rushed into the alchemist's laboratory and began to study how to remove the curse.

"Sure enough, real dragon blood can break curses. Strictly speaking, curses are also part of magic, so dragons with high magic resistance can rely on blood to reduce the impact of curses. But where can we find so much dragon blood? We can't just draw a little bit every day. If we do that, Xiao Hei won't be able to hold on."

He began to dilute Xiao Hei's blood. He wanted to see if the curse could be broken after a large amount of dilution. Xing Luo marked each diluted sample from one to one hundred. With each increase in size, the blood concentration decreased a little.

It was not until he tested the sample marked as No. 79 that he found that the curse was only weakened, but not completely eliminated. He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he did not need too much dragon blood. Diluting it so much could actually break the curse. The next step was to extract the blood of the Chimera, purify it outside the body, and then transport it back. Xingluo then thought about the details of the blood transfusion and refined the things needed for the blood transfusion. Xingluo would stay in the alchemy laboratory for a long time every time, and this time was no exception. He rarely went out until he solved the problem thoroughly. Frequent in and out would only disturb his thoughts.

Finally, Xingluo developed a self-service purification device that did not require anyone to operate it. Anyone who wanted to lift the curse could just go over and plug in the tube. He used time magic to maintain the concentration of Xiao Hei's blood, so that he did not need to draw a large amount of the black dragon's blood.

However, converting other attribute magic into time magic has a huge loss. He has not been able to improve the efficiency of the conversion array in the past few days, so he prepared a large number of magic cores to maintain this triggered time magic. Whenever a Chimera is converted, the array will be activated, and it is usually in a silent state.

After Xingluo's strange device was refined, he put it into the space ring, walked out of the laboratory, listened to the exclamations outside, looked out the window, and saw giant dragons descending from the sky and entering the mercenary group's base. Although they had greeted them, when these huge creatures moved in, they still caused quite a stir.

However, under the restraint of Xiao Hei, the Chimera did not make any further moves, and Mo also hurriedly maintained the people in the group to prevent the two sides from clashing. Soon, the flying dragons were brought to the caves dug by the dwarves. These caves were left by mining the mineral veins around the station, which were enough for these Chimeras to live in. If they still felt it was not enough, they could dig a few more holes.
