Because Xiao Hu's excited voice rang out in his head!

"Boss, this is the Dragon Blood Sacrifice, possessed by those with Dragon lineage!"

"Dragon Blood Sacrifice?" Chen Feng had never heard of such a thing and asked with confusion.

"Dragons are divine beasts, their status is paramount among all beasts. Therefore, whether it's a true Dragon or a descendant carrying Dragon blood, if they lose a battle and are further insulted, they will detonate the Dragon blood within them for a mutual kill! However, if a descendant with thin bloodline encounters a true Dragon with pure Dragon blood, regardless of victory or defeat, or the opponent's strength, they will bow their noble heads and offer the Dragon blood contained within them! This is called the Dragon Blood Sacrifice!" Xiao Hu transmitted these words into Chen Feng's mind.

"Offer the contained Dragon blood? Then... won't they die?" Chen Feng pointed at the Pterodactyl swarm ahead and asked in surprise.

"Of course not. They offer their thin Dragon blood for the sacrifice ritual, and if they gain the true Dragon's approval, the purity of the Dragon blood within them will directly ascend a level! That is to say, if a Pterodactyl performs a Dragon Blood Sacrifice to a Dragon, and that Dragon accepts the offering, it can directly upgrade that Pterodactyl into a Wyvern!"

"Upgrade?" Chen Feng was so astonished his jaw nearly dropped: "Then does that mean if I possess the Flame Dragon bloodline, I can accept this Dragon Blood Sacrifice?" Chen Feng had revealed his possession of the Flame Dragon bloodline to Xiao Hu as soon as they entered the valley. Although he omitted details about the journey or meeting a fellow countryman, he had explained the inheritance and evolution of the Flame Dragon bloodline quite thoroughly.

Xiao Hu responded, "Of course you can. Yours is the Flame Dragon bloodline! It's an existence on the same level as the Fire Phoenix bloodline!"

Chen Feng paid no mind to the Fire Phoenix Xiao Hu mentioned and continued to ask, "Then how do I accept their Dragon Blood Sacrifice?"

Xiao Hu replied, "It's very simple. You just release a single drop of blood and let it hover in the air, allowing the purplish-red mist formed above them to drift over and make the sacrifice!"

"That simple?" Chen Feng felt skeptical. He bit his fingertip and casually flicked it toward the sky. A single bead of crimson blood hung steadily in the air, held by the influence of the vortex! The Pterodactyl that had stood up slightly swayed its body, controlling the purplish-red mist in the air, making it slowly drift toward that drop of blood! As the mist approached the blood, it enveloped it completely!

"What... what is happening?" Chen Feng asked.

Xiao Hu shook its head: "I don't know either. The inherited memories in my mind state it this way; I don't know the specifics!"

"..." Chen Feng was speechless; so Xiao Hu didn't actually know when it told him to try it! However, this method probably wasn't that rare, otherwise, a common Pterodactyl wouldn't use it! At this moment, the mist enveloping Chen Feng's blood suddenly emitted a red glow, tainted with a hint of the eerie within the crimson, flickering in the air before instantly drilling into Chen Feng's mind and vanishing! Chen Feng jumped in fright, unable to dodge as he watched the red light flash and disappear before his eyes.

"What was that?" Chen Feng exclaimed mentally. Xiao Hu didn't reply; clearly, this was unexpected for it too. After searching his body for a long time and finding nothing amiss, Chen Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he looked up at the mist still floating in the air, he saw it had changed. The original purplish-red mist gradually turned red. While not as scarlet as Chen Feng's drop of blood, it was shifting in that direction. Its volume had shrunk by almost a third; what was once three to four meters wide was now less than two meters, but the aura it contained had more than doubled! The Pterodactyl, which had been swaying uncertainly, now stood firm. Its lantern-sized eyes fixed on the mist in the air, filled with longing.

"Bang!" The mist suddenly dissolved into thin, wandering wisps, spreading out from around Chen Feng's drop of blood, rapidly drilling into the Pterodactyl's nostrils!

"Roar..." After absorbing the wisps, the Pterodactyl suddenly let out a fierce roar. The loud dragon cry shook the entire valley, its booming echo reverberating endlessly between the peaks. Just then, the Pterodactyl painfully collapsed onto the ground, rolling wildly. Its massive body thrashed back and forth like a fleshy mountain, causing the very earth to tremble.

"It's evolving," Xiao Hu's excited voice sounded.

"Evolving?"

"Yes, it has absorbed a portion of the energy from your pure Flame Dragon bloodline. It seems to have activated some potential within its body, and it's evolving into a Level Four Magical Beast. Once successful, it will become a Wyvern!" Xiao Hu explained. Chen Feng was thrilled by this news and watched the Pterodactyl not far away, his eyes unblinking. The Pterodactyl rolled on the ground for a full ten minutes before slowly coming to a stop. Suddenly, its bulky body began to creak loudly, and the muscles all over its frame rapidly shrunk at an unbelievable speed. In less than a minute, its body, originally over ten meters long, was reduced to only six or seven meters! Simultaneously, its scales changed from the original dull gray to a vibrant shade, filled with a metallic sheen. Although it was much smaller than before, the sense of power it exuded was more than doubled!

"Roar..." The Pterodactyl roared again, but this roar carried far more majesty than the previous one. The metallic sound whistled and echoed in the air, causing Austin and the others to feel dizzy and nauseous. However, Chen Feng was completely unaffected. Looking at the excitedly roaring Wyvern, he felt a strange, ineffable sensation in his mind—a feeling that he grasped something important but couldn't quite pin it down.

After the roar, the Wyvern bowed down, lying flat on the ground, facing Chen Feng to show its resolve to submit! Seeing this, Chen Feng suddenly understood: the strange feeling in his mind was actually the creature's will! It was the red light that flashed into his mind amidst the mist! That light turned out to be the Wyvern's will to surrender to him. However, this will was so faint that it was practically negligible, which is why Chen Feng searched in vain for so long. Now that the creature was performing this act of obeisance, the will in his mind stirred slightly, allowing him to finally perceive it. He was amazed that the price of the Dragon Blood Sacrifice was a tenacious belief! This truly opened Chen Feng's eyes. No wonder it was called the Dragon Blood Sacrifice; offering the thin Dragon blood within one's body, accompanied by an intensely devoted belief, to another—what else could it be called? During this process, if he refused the sacrifice, he could easily kill the sacrificer who offered their thin Dragon blood! Success yielded great benefits, allowing direct advancement; failure guaranteed immediate death! It seemed nothing was ever achieved effortlessly.

The surrounding Pterodactyls, seeing their comrade successfully evolve, were filled with envy and began to stir restlessly.

After a while, a Fire-attributed Pterodactyl finally stepped forward and continued the Dragon Blood Sacrifice! Chen Feng's bloodline was the Flame Dragon bloodline, belonging to the fire element among Dragon bloodlines. The first Pterodactyl's attribute was Earth, so the effect wasn't optimal. Under normal circumstances, Wyverns were almost always Level Five or Six, and this one only became a Level Four Magical Beast after evolving, proving how significant attribute matching was. However, the second, Fire-attributed Pterodactyl was much luckier, succeeding in one evolution to become a Level Five Magical Beast. Yet, due to the rapid increase in strength, it might still be inferior to an ordinary Level Five Magical Beast in combat right now. But as its strength consolidated over time, the true might of the Dragon lineage would gradually emerge, at which point it might have no equal among Level Five Magical Beasts! Following the successful evolution of the first two Pterodactyls, the remaining 17 Pterodactyls all began to act.

In the end, after sacrificing five drops of his blood, Chen Feng managed to evolve all the remaining 17 Pterodactyls into Wyverns: 11 became Level Four, 6 became Level Five, and one even reached the peak of Level Five directly! After finishing all this, Chen Feng didn't notice that the sky had begun to lighten; the entire night had passed just like that. ps: The battle continues! Although I haven't reached the top of the rankings yet, I'm close. I have confidence. Friends, thank you for your recommendations; I hope you can give me all of today's recommendations! Thank you! Also: I'm going to the construction site during the day and won't be back; if possible, I'll ask a friend to post a chapter for me at noon. If my friend is also unavailable, I will return at six o'clock for the scheduled chapter! Sigh, this is my only saved chapter; I was coding until past two in the morning last night... But rest assured, I will definitely deliver three chapters today, making it four chapters total including the one updated at midnight! Old Ya vows it!
