Chapter 247: Hybrid Dragon
"Uh, can the Dragon Vein and Beast Blood merge?"
"Can coffee and black tea merge? As long as you can accept the strange taste, nothing is impossible. But reality is even worse. Indeed, there are some fools who try to fuse other supernatural bloodlines with Beast Bloodlines."
Red Feather Arrow was very surprised that she actually had so much patience communicating with this male.
According to her usual temper, if someone asked such an anti-commonsense stupid question, she would have spat back immediately.
The Eagle Girls, even within the Seven Beast Nations, are the group with the worst tempers.
But now, she pondered for a moment, even proactively asked her partner, before giving a relatively certain standard answer.
"Most beasts possess extremely dominant bloodlines with strong assimilation properties. Even if lower bloodlines are mixed in, they are basically completely eaten and directly assimilated into the original Beast Bloodline. And if the other party is too high-level to digest, such as another beast's bloodline, a 'freak' will appear. That basically equals self-destruction; bloodline conflict is absolutely not a good thing."
Different Beast Factors can be pieced together. Without artificial selection to strengthen the assembly, it becomes 'true randomness.'
Ultimately, it is very likely that flesh and blood will run out of control and go berserk, the whole body twisting into a mass aggregate constructed like cancer cells.
And this deformed life form is very likely to lack certain basic survival factors. If forced to be pieced together, even if it accidentally achieves a period of balance, it will basically still turn into a twisted lump of flesh.
A body, an individual, must have a master and a subordinate, a core and functional accessories.
A fighter jet forcibly assembled from parts of various brands might require thirty years of research and development just to remain unable to fly properly.
"This is too stupid. Even if you want to strengthen the bloodline, you can find your own kind to devour; that is basically the only useful factor."
Li En suddenly understood; this is the root reason why Magical Girls and Contract Beasts are often of the same species.
Even if they occasionally cross species, they must be closely related kin, such as horse-deer, donkey-horse, lizard and snake, etc., and mostly the species of the 'Magical Girl' from the weaker bloodline side will transform.
If White hadn't had the snake intervene to grant a new contract, she would most likely have already transformed into a horse-species Magical Girl.
"This 'Magical Girl Contract (Magic Contract)' allows the two to exchange humanity and bestiality, and also exchange Beast Factors with each other. If they are not of the same kind, in the end, the strong will still eat the weak."
"But what if the bloodline fused is a high-level bloodline capable of eating Beast Factors?"
At this moment, Red Feather Arrow looked at Li En as if looking at a fool. Li En felt it truly strange being looked at by his own 'eyes' like that.
"Beast strength varies from high to low, but Beast Factors, as the fundamental rules of the world, are extremely high at their source. If such a bloodline truly exists... it seems it wouldn't need to fuse Beast Factors; it should just digest them directly."
But reality, sometimes, is unreasonable.
Li En felt he not only successfully integrated the 'Eagle Factor,' but even began to actively produce Eagle Factors in his body like the Snake Factor, stably awakening two Eagle-attribute bloodline abilities.
"The power of my Dragon Vein and the beast's innate abilities have truly merged."
Looking back now, Li En realized this was not the first time.
Previously, when using the Dragon Eye to activate the 'Desire Snake Eye,' the two supernatural bloodlines had already merged.
Before, he thought the snake's bloodline was special, because the 'Snake' was originally a member of the Thousand-Faced Dragon.
Now it seems there is nothing special at all; the Thousand-Faced Dragon's bloodline can naturally perfectly fuse with other Beast Factors. This was originally one of Li En's latent abilities.
That stability, completely without worry of losing control, might be what the Beast Magical Girls envy the most.
"Pouring in Factors in large quantities directly won't work; I would lose control too. But if I use the Magic Contract to form a stable channel, even borrowing their humanity to suppress bestiality... it actually seems to work. Did I find a cheat method to level up?"
Li En felt very strange; he clearly felt himself getting stronger.
【Biological Grade: Silver, Status: Strength 15 (18), Constitution 14, Agility 12, Spirit 14】
And the prompt on the panel was the most obvious evidence; the basic panel, which had stubbornly refused to move in the past, had surged.
Strength and Agility increased by 2, and Constitution also grew by 1. Considering Li En's current hardware level, this improvement was extremely exaggerated.
"This deal is a huge profit."
He handed over a pair of useless eyes and received an equivalent amount of Eagle Factors, yet managed to gain such a huge return.
He estimated this was also because the content of 'Beast Factors' was relatively low, resulting in a larger early-stage boost.
What he valued more were the two newly awakened bloodline abilities, which even opened up a combat system he shouldn't have had originally. Perhaps, he could also try real aerial combat.
"The body is not yet stable; it still needs a little time..."
Li En felt something inside him was gestating; it was quite possible a pair of 'Eagle Eyes' would actually grow out again. And this time, it would belong entirely to Li En, the result of him integrating the Eagle Factor and undergoing beastification.
Linked to this change, it seemed to be the 'brain.'
To support this sensory system, his nervous system and information processing capabilities also seemed to need an upgrade.
"Is this some kind of assembled monster..."
Li En was somewhat amused but exasperated, but the next moment, he instinctively looked towards the living room.
There, the Deer Magical Girl 'White' was playing happily with Miss Lana. The little one was very happy sharing her snacks and toys with her little partner.
Even more absurd was that White seemed to be having a lot of fun; she seemed very much looking forward to these little dolls and little houses.
"If the Eagle works, the Deer's regeneration ability... no rush, find a reliable Heroic Soul to ask about it. Digesting this power already takes a lot of time." In a sense, Li En's lower limit was very low.
As long as he didn't completely transform into a non-human monster, he actually didn't care much about changes to his body.
Originally, for him, there was no obvious distinction between Dragon Vein and Beast Blood.
Li En's sudden inspiration not only took effect but achieved the best possible result beyond expectations.
