The anomaly above his head actually deterred Lin Yi from leaving. If it were the main body that had entered this dangerous, highly active world, Lin Yi would naturally choose to avoid trouble when faced with unknown situations. But now it was just an "information body" used for exploration. Even if it was consumed, it wouldn't be a big deal. Lin Yi naturally didn't mind slightly changing his strategy. Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, the "black dot" above his head was one of the main reasons why Lin Yi entered this highly active world.
A few seconds later, as the distance closed, Lin Yi was able to see clearly what was coming from the sky.
Its massive body is covered in scales, its bat wings provide powerful thrust, its bloated lower limbs, which seem bulky compared to its short upper limbs, undoubtedly provide even greater speed, and it has two ferocious horns on its head. When all these ferocious elements are combined, there is only one answer—a dragon.
However, unlike the encounter Lin Yi had imagined, the dragon's current situation was clearly not befitting of a "creature at the top of the food chain." Not only were most of its scales broken, but its flight path also appeared somewhat unstable, and there were powerful fluctuations of active energy emanating from the horizon...
"It seems I'm lucky."
Having reached this conclusion, Lin Yi reached out his hand without any hesitation towards the heavily injured dragon in the sky.
"Increase"
[Phase One: Preparations for Graviton Emission Completed]
Although only 51.94% of the spark source was transmitted, it was enough to create gravitons.
Lin Yi's gaze was fixed on the giant dragon in the sky above, which he hadn't noticed because he was focused on what was behind him. Just as he was about to give the final command, a roar suddenly came from the horizon, followed by a blinding flash of light that was impossible to see with the naked eye.
Half a second later, to Lin Yi's astonishment, the dragon, whose body had been struck by a sword blade radiating intense active energy, lost its last strength and plummeted from a height of over two thousand meters due to inertia.
After canceling the compressed gravity particles, Lin Yi looked at the giant dragon less than ten meters away, its life hanging in the balance, and couldn't help but wonder: "God, is this some kind of protagonist's halo?"
[Incorrect judgment. The current event is a low-probability event composed of a combination of multiple low-probability events, and it lacks subjective operability and repeatability.]
Standing before the dragon, whose fate was unknown, Lin Yi's enthusiasm remained undiminished even after being doused with cold water by the main god: "Generally speaking, this dragon should be a powerful magical pet contracted by the 'protagonist' who transmigrated to another world, right?"
Crossing the Line of Faith: Chapter 361 The Dragon Thor
If it were a strong, conscious dragon with powerful operational capabilities and a strong desire to attack, then Lin Yi could probably just kill it, extract its blood, skin it, and remove its bones... Improve his genes and database, and maybe even deduce a brand new "dragon enhancement" system suitable for reincarnators.
But since it was a severely injured, dying dragon, its consciousness was blurred, and it was even having difficulty breathing, let alone attacking, Lin Yi felt that there was still a considerable amount of room for maneuver.
After obtaining enough blood and tissue samples from the dragon using instruments retrieved from the subspace, Lin Yi did not kill the dragon directly. Instead, he combined a lot of active energy and threw it into the dragon, following the "healing magic template" provided by the main god. As for the sword blade, which was obviously not a basic item, Lin Yi ignored it and left it stuck in the dragon's body.
After confirming that the dragon would not die from excessive blood loss, Lin Yi began to study the "dragon sample" he had just acquired, which was also the main reason why he threw his information body into this world.
"...a genetic makeup that is theoretically impossible may be influenced by high activity."
[The correct assessment is that this genetic data does not possess objective applicability in a world outside of highly active environments.]
"What if I provided the activity myself?"
[Feasible]
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi poured the red liquid from the test tube into his mouth without hesitation, smacked his lips, and said, "The taste is not much different from ordinary blood."
Even so, it's much better than when everything tastes the same as wax when you lose your sense of taste. Of course, it's also possible that the chaotic information in the information body gave him the illusion of "taste"... Or, to put it another way, even if he could really taste something, Lin Yi wouldn't let his body taste it. Only now, using this information body, can he try it without restraint.
"God, extract the genetic data and name the sample 'Dragon 01'."
[Command confirmed, gene data extraction in progress... 0.1%... 0.2%]
After glancing at the slow progress bar on his retina, Lin Yi refocused his attention on the giant dragon.
It's clear that the "healing magic template" created by the main god based on this world's magic system is quite effective. After thirty-seven healing spells were cast in succession, even though the dragon had a natural "90% reduction in magic effect" buff, it managed to stabilize its injuries. In addition, with its own racial buff of "+500% health recovery," it awoke from its coma in just a few minutes...
Thor opened his eyes and saw a "person".
"..."
"..."
"Roar--"
He took a step back to avoid the sudden snap of the dragon's teeth. Although he felt that the magic-breaking buff on the dragon's teeth should not have any effect on this body, even just being sprayed with saliva would be quite bad.
"God, do dragons possess intelligence?"
[Determined based on active energy concentration]
"Um"
Looking at the giant dragon struggling to bite him, he seemed to understand something: "So, it can make sounds other than roaring?"
[This is a correct assessment. Please use 'Language Proficiency' correctly.]
Given the ability to communicate across worlds using language and writing, communication between different races should not be a problem. After all, even silicon-based life forms were able to communicate, so there's no reason why dragons, whose basic structure is still carbon-based, shouldn't be able to communicate.
Lost in thought, the "guest" from another world uttered the first sound to the "natives" of this world—the sound that marked the beginning of all communication and connection: "Hello?"
"..."
"..."
"Roar----"
Having avoided the dragon's saliva, Lin Yi felt that his protagonist aura had probably faded.
----------segmentation----------
After spending a few minutes explaining the dragon's current situation, Lin Yi successfully established the first step in communication.
The psychic power exerted on the blade of the sword on the dragon slowed: "First, your name."
A name is the first step in communication.
With vertical pupils the size of a fist staring intently at the "human" before him, Lin Yi had no doubt what the dragon's first action would be if it were freed. Even so, the dragon still gave its answer.
"...Thor."
The deep, roaring voice matched the image of a dragon perfectly. Because he was unfamiliar with this world, Lin Yi couldn't glean any information from just a name. He simply nodded to indicate that he understood and then asked, "Are you a dragon?"
The dragon did not answer, but the answer was easily gleaned from its gaze, which seemed to look at a fool.
Understanding others is the second step in communication. Even if you are more than 99% sure that it is a dragon, there is still a 1% chance that it is a mutated lizard or a mutated bat. So you still need to confirm it again.
Fortunately, it was not a mutation, but a true dragon that naturally evolved under highly active world conditions.
"Since you know who you are and what your name is, I think you should also be aware of your situation, right?"
Lin Yi glanced at the weapon emanating powerful energy fluctuations from behind the dragon, and his evaluation of it had risen from a purple rare equipment to a pink artifact. After all, it was quite remarkable that a simple energy aggregate could maintain a stable structure for such a long time.
Thor's reaction to Lin Yi's words intensified, and his previously subsided resistance began to revive. Facing the dragon that had started to "harm itself," Lin Yi smiled and asked, "Don't want to die?"
"Roar--"
"Instead of making these pointless noises at me, I think you have something you need to do."
As the weapon began to fall toward its heart, the dragon had to stop struggling. It looked at the smiling human with increasing hatred, a smile that was nothing short of mockery to it—though Lin Yi had no reason to do so.
Noticing the dragon's actions, Lin Yi's smile widened: "Whether it's life, power, or freedom, there's always a price to pay for what you want to gain."
"..."
"And now all you need to do is choose... what you can exchange for what you have."
P.S.: You should be able to tell what kind of world this is by now...
Crossing the Boundaries of Faith: Chapter 362 Chaotic Forces
As it turns out, Lin Yi was overthinking things. Just as not every world has a mythical creature like dragons, not every world with dragons has beings who sign contracts with humans to become so-called "dragon knights." At least, the relationship between Lin Yi and the dragon named Thor was not like that.
"I provide protection, you provide help."
Glancing at the still-stable energy weapon behind the dragon, Lin Yi's assessment of it seemed to be trending upwards from pink divine equipment to orange legendary: "Until you deal with this thing, I'll make sure you don't die from blood loss or curses. In return, you'll need to provide me with your knowledge and your body..."
Lin Yi was taken aback when he noticed the dragon's disdainful gaze. After realizing what was happening, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "If you want to provide body material other than blood, I don't mind. I've heard that dragons have quite good self-healing abilities. Maybe if you cut it off, it can grow back."
After completing a "transaction" and casting a dozen healing spells on Thor to stop the bleeding, Lin Yi began to inquire about some "common sense" about this world.
Just like the information the main god obtained from external detection, this is a world dominated by fantasy. It contains humans that exist in every parallel world, as well as species that only appear in the fantasies of most parallel worlds, such as orcs, elves, magical beasts, fairies... and even dragons.
Of course, even among species, there are differences in strength. Just like a human can defeat two goblins under normal circumstances, a dragon's fighting power should be the strongest... about 5 geese?
However, innate talent in a species does not determine everything. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a group of humans chasing and killing a dragon, but a dragon chasing and killing a group of humans. In this highly dynamic world, any species can acquire power beyond its racial limits through training and cultivation. That's why those humans were able to defeat or even kill a dragon.
"Hmm, can I assume that it's because you lack ambition that you were able to be overtaken and defeated by a group of weaklings who were far inferior to you innately?"
"Roar--!"
After introducing the basic system of this world, what follows is the higher-level system that only exists in the understanding of a few powerful individuals such as dragons.
Gods exist in this world.
Their origins are completely unknown. All that is known is that even the weakest god has the power to easily destroy a city. Therefore, the rules of this world are largely determined by the gods. To be precise, Thor was not defeated by humans, but by a god summoned by humans—and the divine sword that was summoned.
As a result, Lin Yi also learned why this giant dragon was being hunted down by a group of humans and gods.
"The forces of chaos?"
Pondering the familiar-sounding term, Lin Yi asked, "Could it be that there are neutral forces and forces of order?"
After receiving Thor's affirmative answer, Lin Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, but said nothing.
The opposing forces meant that this dragon would inevitably be hunted down by the humans of the Order faction, so the scene just now was not unexpected. Moreover, the matter was not over yet. The Order faction would not give up until they were certain that the Chaos dragon was dead. Thor, the dragon who had been hit by the "Sword of God" and given many debuffs such as "weakness, bleeding, and magic penetration," could not escape the clutches of his pursuers. That's why he showed hostility when he first awoke—since he was about to be killed, why should he smile?
However, after figuring out that Lin Yi was not part of the "order faction" of this world, the dragon's attitude did not improve much. If there were a favorability system, it would probably go from -100 to -50, from being killed without a complete corpse to leaving a complete corpse.
While Lin Yi was pondering after figuring out the general information about this world, the dragon, still unable to move due to being struck by the Sword of God, became puzzled and, after a long hesitation, asked in a low voice, "Are you human?"
Lin Yi was taken aback, then chuckled and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
"It's impossible for a human being not to know these things."
More importantly, it is impossible for humans to stand unarmed and defenseless in front of a chaotic dragon...
Confused by his previous judgment, the dragon opened its eyes and looked at the "human" before it with a deep voice: "Don't humans love being 'dragon slayers'? If you kill me, you can get money and fame, and maybe even marry those princesses. Don't you want that?"
"Your reasoning is quite 'cute'."
He casually threw out a taunt, but unexpectedly, the dragon Thor fell silent, and his gaze seemed to shift slightly.
Shaking his head, Lin Yi didn't pay attention to these details: "What do you plan to do next?"
Meeting Thor's questioning gaze from the ground, Lin Yi wondered how this dragon had survived until now: "I can keep you 'alive,' but I never said I could restore your 'freedom.'"
As he said this, he pointed to the energy weapon behind the dragon, which had risen from pink divine armor to orange legendary: "Besides, this thing called 'Sword of God' isn't so easy to deal with, is it?"
"..."
Thor hesitated for a moment, which could be seen from its constantly shifting gaze. Seeing this, Lin Yi made a quick decision: "Where is your lair?"
"What do you want to do, human!"
As expected, there was hostility, but Lin Yi, who was already used to it, simply smiled and said, "If you think this is fine, I have no objection."
"...to the west."
Behind the deep, unpleasant roar, Thor honestly replied—staying here will lead to death, and if you don't want to die, leave. As a highly intelligent being, the dragon understood this simple logic, and no matter how much it resisted, it had no choice but to accept this "help".
“My people are over there; they can help me.”
—An answer that was exactly what I expected.
Lin Yi glanced at the progress bar on his retina, which showed 12% progress. He was now more than 50% confident about the "Dragon Bloodline Enhancement" in the Main God Space.
“Very good, Thor.”
He walked up to the dragon and, unconcerned by the dragon's angry glare, slapped his hand onto its scale-covered body: "Do you know 'spatial magic'?"
"Stay away from me, human—"
Coordinates locked...
Finished on target...
Energy transfer...
"If you don't know, you'd better close your eyes."
Space Jump
Crossing the Line of Faith: Chapter 363 Thor's Wrath
Conventional spatial magic should come with some kind of buff that allows people to adapt to rapid changes in the environment in a short time. However, Lin Yi completely omitted this when constructing the same spatial transfer program. After all, it is better to spend energy on those "dispensable" things and figure out how to improve the distance and accuracy of the transfer.
However, this principle clearly does not apply to the creatures of this world.
In 0.3 seconds, he traversed a distance that would normally take several days to complete. Turning around, Lin Yi immediately saw Thor lying limp on the ground.
"That's why I'm telling you to close your eyes."
