Chapter 1321: Chapter 707: When One Person Achieves the Dao, Even Chickens and Dogs Ascend to Heaven
Shanoba leapt down from the Colossus upon hearing the sound. After rely falling a few ters, she transford into an imnse form, soaring into the air, her movents a dance amidst the skies, accompanied by an exalted roar.
Hou! Wang!
Hundreds of gnolls with black dragon wings closely followed Shanoba, taking flight behind her.
These were the Dragonized Gnolls of Colossus City, all possessing the sa black dragon wings as Shanoba.
Soon after, thousands more gnolls, flapping black leathery wings, hovered around the periphery. These were the Dragon Blood Kobolds and Erde of Colossus City.
Shanoba had nurtured these Dragon Blood Kobolds through Dragon Dog Mutual Aid. In addition to the standard Dragon Blood enhancent, they also bore a pair of leathery wings identical to Erde’s—a precursor to Dragonization.
Tens of thousands of gnolls, whether from the mines, Colossus City, or outside the city, all ceased their labor simultaneously, collectively gazing skyward with gleaming excitent, letting out fervent wailing barks.
Not only them—even Mayor Jin Bao and Giharin Clan Leader could distinctly sense the imnse elental energy surging in the skies.
This imnse energy ford into a pyramidal shape.
At the very pinnacle of this pyramid stood, of course, the Gnoll Queen, Shanoba.
Below her were the Dragonized Gnolls, the Dragon Blood Kobolds, the Dragon Vein Gnolls, and the ordinary gnolls.
The energy gathered around Shanoba, cascading down layer by layer until reaching the bottom, then flowing back upwards through the sa layered structure in an iterative cycle.
It beca difficult to discern whether Shanoba absorbed magic elents to assist the gnolls or if the vast numbers of gnolls collectively consolidated their strength to aid Shanoba and each other.
This was the essence of Dragon Dog Mutual Aid. A symbiotic group that leveraged the strength of elites to elevate the weak, raising them to a higher baseline.
Then, in turn, the sheer numbers of ordinary gnolls amassed their collective strength to help the elites ascend further down the path of excellence.
Whether Shanoba, the Dragonized Gnolls, or the Dragon Blood Kobolds, all danced mid-air in spiraling movents.
This dance wasn’t mindless excitent or rehearsed choreography; instead, it was a response to the elental currents and pulsations, moving with the wind in harmonious rhythm.
Through these movents, they maintained the equilibrium of the magic-elent pyramid, ensuring its stability and preventing collapse.
To outsiders, this dance exuded an indescribable allure, an unparalleled mystique.
Occasionally, gnoll barks transford into fierce roars as ordinary gnolls experienced a heightening of their forms, their bodies surging with their own magic elents, joining the ranks of Dragon Vein Gnolls.
Scattered amongst them, those Dragon Vein Gnolls unfurled leathery wings from their backs. With forceful flapping, they took to the skies, joining the ranks of Dragon Blood Kobolds.
Dragon Blood Kobolds, on the other hand, gradually grew larger, their leathery wings hardening with bone structures, forming black dragon wings and advancing into the ranks of Dragonized Gnolls.
Rarely, so gnolls bypassed the Dragon Vein stage altogether, directly entering the ranks of Dragon Blood or Dragonized Gnolls, though such occurrences were exceptionally rare, mostly seen among recent entrants to Colossus City.
Frequent Dragon Seeking Ritual Ceremonies had already unearthed those with potential, affirming that gradual, step-by-step progression was the proper path forward.
This pyramid was a bloodline pyramid; once one’s corresponding bloodline powers were awakened, advancent naturally followed.
This structure seed both deeply unfair and profoundly fair.
After all, the magic elents were distributed equally at all levels. If one could awaken, they would ascend to the next tier unimpeded. But if awakening proved impossible, then waiting patiently, accumulating strength, and awaiting the next opportunity for progression was one’s only choice.
Shanoba’s Dragon Dog Mutual Aid ability had clearly evolved since the last ti, gaining an array of new functions.
First Upgrade (10,000 mbers): Enfeoffnt—You may appoint gnolls as Chieftains (one per 10,000 gnolls), Commanders (one per 1,000 gnolls), Leaders (one per 100 gnolls), and Captains (one per 10 gnolls).
Second Upgrade (20,000 mbers): Faith Acceleration—Your speed increases by 30%.
Third Upgrade (40,000 mbers): Faith Blessing—All attributes gain 1.
The third upgrade was just completed, marking the official crossing of Colossus City’s gnoll population past the 40,000 threshold.
Shanoba’s Dragon Dog Mutual Aid ability required exponentially growing population numbers for each subsequent upgrade, becoming increasingly difficult as ti progressed.
Her enfeoffnt ability was no minor matter.
This capability extended directly to the gnolls, empowering Chieftains, Commanders, Leaders, and Captains. Upon receiving enfeoffnt, they gained abilities tied to their roles.
While enfeoffnt did not grant them direct, tangible power, during the recently held Ascending Dragon Ritual, the elental links among gnolls stemd from the ability—the layers connecting downward and converging onto Shanoba.
Even serving rely as elental conduits afforded these gnolls greater developntal breakthroughs than those without enfeoffnt, along with an increased probability of advancing to higher tiers.
Regrettably, the Chieftain of 10,000 was the cap for gnolls, with no ergence of titles like Great Chief despite growing numbers.
This appeared to be a racial limitation. No matter how much gnolls evolved, they could only beco Dragonized Gnolls, never progressing to Dragonborn, let alone transforming into true dragons. Achieving such heights would undoubtedly alarm the Dragon Gods themselves, prompting them to exterminate the gnoll race entirely, including their True Gods.
