Chapter 102.1 : Blood of the Fire Serpent (1)?

"Blood of the Fire Serpent?"

"What is that!?"

Upon seeing the information for option 2 announced on the Gold List, everyone focused their attention on option 2.

The ability to change shape had become commonplace, and everyone understood it. However, option two presented something unique. From the current list of Summoning Beast reward options, they all gained some kind of talent, such as devouring, petrifying, or changing size.

But now, one of Garaga's options was to obtain some kind of bloodline. The catch was that there was only a 30% chance of success. Wasn't it a waste not to succeed? Yet, it made the choice even more intriguing.

Because the rewards on the Golden List were seemingly of equal value on the surface, it meant that obtaining the fire serpent blood, even with only a 30% chance of success, was deemed as having the same value as any other transformation.

"Fire Dragon... what is it!?"

For some reason, when Golden List mentioned the Fire Dragon, Garaga felt that something was missing in his mind. He had a sense of familiarity, but he struggled to recall it. His body seemed to have an instinctive desire to accept the blood of the fire serpent.

"I always feel that this reward is something amazing and extremely beneficial for me."

But, obviously I don't know what this thing is?

"I seem to have forgotten something," mused the White Snake Sage and the Three Snake Princesses in the Ryūchi Cave, who were also very intrigued.

It turned out that the words "Blood of the Fire Serpent" had caused Garaga's temperament to fluctuate after years of recuperation.

"White Snake Sage, should we send a message to Garaga and suggest he choose the second option?" Tagitsuhime asked excitedly.

The White Snake Sage and Garaga could sense it; there was something about the blood of the fire serpent that seemed beneficial.

"I believe there's no need for me to say it myself," the White Snake Sage remarked, narrowing her eyes and focusing on the live broadcast room. She paid particular attention to Uchiha Ran above Garaga's head.

In the live broadcast room, Garaga sent a snake letter. Contrary to many people's expectations, he did not rush to choose an option. Instead, he asked Uchiha Ran, "Fifth Hokage, do you know what that fire serpent blood is?"

"How dare you ask me calmly?" Uchiha Ran was surprised.

"It's just a name, but I feel the desire for blood," Garaga admitted. 

"Transformation is a benefit in front of me. I don't know what this blood of the fire serpent is, but I have a hunch that it will have a better effect on me. I have been following the live broadcast room, and I know that you have extensive knowledge. I think you must be able to answer my question."

Garaga paused and continued, "According to the agreement, I will be the Summoning Beast of Uchiha Sasuke for ten years. But as long as you can answer me satisfactorily, I can serve you until you fall."

Garaga understood that he had nothing else to offer except himself.

"You're very smart!" Uchiha Ran praised with a smile.

Garaga might be stronger than others, but in front of the Uchiha, it was only a matter of perspective.

"What can you use it for? The so-called loyalty to the death, in fact, there is basically no chance to help. But I like your attitude."

Moreover, if Garaga could transform into a Dragon, it would be entirely different from being a snake. Even if only used as a mount, it would be very cool.

"Your hunch is correct; choose option two," Uchiha Ran said seriously. "This is your luck. It seems that you should have a trace of blood left by the fire serpent in your body, which is also considered a talent."

"I choose two!" Garaga, who got a positive answer, immediately made a decisive decision.

Golden List immediately shot a ray of light.

Afterwards, the scarlet blood filled with golden light came to Garaga.

"This power!" Garaga spat out a snake letter, his eyes filled with intoxication. His body instinctively told him that swallowing this blood could bring unimaginable benefits, a qualitative leap. 

However, he also felt that the thick blood was full of danger, as if touching it would bring about a life-threatening crisis.

Uchiha Ran saw this scene and couldn't help but feel enlightened.

Dragon blood, for the ninja world, was on a much higher level. To appear in such a low-ranking reward option was puzzling.

But now he understood.

If the top ranking was given the Fire Serpent blood, it might help Garaga refine and improve without any sequelae. Instead, the current situation lets Garaga try his luck on his own, facing a crisis of death.

"It seems that Garaga is going to fight for his life," Uchiha Ran commented. After thinking about it, he took the initiative to explain, "In the Myrial Realms, there is a creature called a dragon."

Dragon!

For some reason, when this word was mentioned, it brought an inexplicable sense of majesty to everyone.

"Dragon can also be counted among the demon clan. It is the king among them. It can show and hide, it can be small, it can be huge, it can be short and it can be long. The spring equinox ascends to the sky, the autumn equinox goes deep into the abyss, and calls the wind and rain. These are just innate abilities."

"There is a saying that all things can be transformed into dragons."

"Snakes and dragons have a great relationship."
