Thursday came in a blink of an eye.

Early morning hours.

Xia Zuo arrived at the large laboratory on the 7th floor underground.

Rexor is here too.

In fact, since they began to study high-level blood demons, the two master demon hunters have alternately guarded the laboratory to prevent accidents.

This is the only high-level blood demon captured alive in Poseidon City in decades!

You must be careful, no matter how careful you are, never let it find an opportunity to self-destruct.

As soon as the temple guards caught it, they forcibly broke it into individual blood demons.

Blood demons who have undergone the fusion ritual are called high-level blood demons.

The complete high-level blood demon consists of 13 blood demons, and they are connected to each other through fusion rituals.

There are only 10 animals in the culture tank in front of me.

Among the remaining three, one was eliminated, which was Blood Demon No. 13, named Qualuowuqi.

The remaining two are hiding hundreds of kilometers away, named Utholeus and Ufaris.

The thing that Rexor regrets most now is that he didn't get the name of No. 13 Blood Demon.

A single blood demon's blood essence stone can be deciphered to reveal shallow secrets.

Blood demons who have undergone the fusion ritual can use the power of the fusion ritual to hide their secrets deep into the depths.

13 blood demons form a complete high-level blood demon.

The full name of a high-level blood demon is composed of the names of 13 blood demons.

The full name of a high-level blood demon is the key that allows the blood demons that make up the high-level blood demons to reveal deep secrets.

What a coincidence.

Xia Zuoquan knows the names of these 13 blood demons...

When he learned from the bald man's mouth that the full name of the high-level blood demon was crucial, he fell into a state of sluggishness and thought.

But I still couldn't find a suitable reason to reveal Qualuowuqi's name...

He didn't know how to explain how he knew the name...

Because the name "Qualuwuqi" is recorded on the bloodline mark and comes from the kill reward.

"Master, is it really that important to know your full name?" Xia Zuo asked, looking at the bald head with tightened eyebrows.

"Hey" Rexor glanced at the 10 clusters of red sand that had been separated and fixed in the culture tank, and let out a long sigh, even his forehead became much darker.

"Xia Zuo, do you know the enchantment school?" Baldhead asked.

"I know, Master, it's a school of magic that adds special effects to props."

Rexor shook his hand and said:

"Enchantment is more than just transforming dead objects.

"This school of magic can be used on living creatures. There is a seal in the school of demon hunting that can temporarily control animals and even humans.

"Enchantment has a wider range of uses, and even strange demons will be affected by it. But the conditions are very strict. You have to know the full name of the target, and a lot of other information."

Xia Zuo stared at the red sand in the culture tank and nodded thoughtfully, probably guessing how the Mage Temple unearthed the secret of the Blood Essence Stone.

"Actually, the blood demon's method of controlling transformers and blood addicts is very similar to the spells of the enchantment school. The blood mages of the strange demon church are connected by blood. The blood demon relies on the higher bloodline level to exert effects on his own creations. Influence, change their minds.”

Rexor raised his hand, swept his fingers across the red sand in the pavilion, and said:

"The same goes for these blood demons. They will be controlled by the blood wizard. And the blood wizard is just a doll of a higher-level blood mage."

"Click, click, click..." There was movement in Rexall's secret message ring.

He looked down and said, "Oh, the old guys at the Mage Temple finally have a conclusion."

"What?" Xia Zuo asked curiously.

"After they caught this high-level blood demon, they argued endlessly. After arguing for almost a week, they finally came up with the final plan."

Rexor flipped the pick and said:

"Among these 10 blood demons, the oldest is Huosang Mofa. The Mage Temple ordered that its blood demon body be forcibly broken, and the blood essence stone be brought to the temple for research. The remaining 9 blood demons will be handed over to you. The institute will study it slowly."

"When will it be forcibly broken?" Xia Zuo rubbed his hands and asked, feeling somewhat excited as another wave of experience and expertise came to his door.

"Just this morning."

Rexor just finished speaking.

Xia Zuo's secret message ring rang.

Director Vickers sent a message saying that he should follow the instructions of the witcher master and he would be there shortly.

"Xia Zuo, I'm going to the manor and I'll be back soon." Rexor greeted and walked towards the door.

About half an hour later.

The bald and cold-faced man walked in carrying a heavy metal box.

The length of the chain this time was several times that of last time, enough to confine the entire culture tank that had been enlarged several times.

After everything was ready, Director Vickers asked the researcher on duty to go out and wait.

He walked to the console, pressed the button to lower the cylindrical partition around the blood demon Hawthorn Mofa, and then pressed the button to release the universal antidote.

Xia Zuo and the two demon-hunting masters cast a curse of decay to accelerate the weakening of the body of the blood demon Huosangmofa.

There were no surprises this time, everything went smoothly.

There is an ice sculpture in the culture tank, and Hawthorne Mofa's Blood Essence Stone is frozen inside.

At noon, the Temple Guard will come and take it away.

Xia Zuo sat in his position, watching the researchers studying other blood demons with green light in his eyes, and looking through the information about Gold Finger in his mind.

"Successfully destroyed the blood demon body of Hawthorn Morfa...gain 630 experience points."

"..[Vitality] passed the attribute judgment and gained new specialties."

【Feature Name】Blood Curse·Mutilation

【Feature Description】

This specialty is incomplete. When you cast a curse on other blood mages from a distance, you will suffer the curse backlash.

【Specialty Effect】

Select a Blood Mark as the target. After activating this specialty, you will be able to apply a curse to the target through the air.

You will suffer the curse's backlash, and the backlash effect is one-tenth of the curse's effect.

Xia Zuo was a little depressed about this specialty.

When learning the curse spell, Beatrice gave her a copper amulet to prevent the curse from backlash.

Xia Zuo always carried it with him, tucked into the leather case of the Alchemy Stone of Life.

The specialty description of [Blood Curse] mentions that one-tenth of the curse's effect will backfire on the caster.

If the amulet could block the backlash, that would be fine.

If you can't block it... Taking backlash damage is a trivial matter, but if the amulet is broken, it will be terrible.

While Xia Zuo was stunned, Anna came over and put down a metal box in front of him.

"Mr. Xia Zuo, this is the blood demon body powder collected this morning."

"Thank you, Anna." Xia Zuo came back to his senses and smiled.

He checked the time, 11:30 noon.

Just in time to go have lunch and then go back to the alchemy room to identify poisons.

It's around 12 noon.

Poison Alchemy Room.

Xia Zuo sat down at his desk after eating and drinking.

Each of the 9 blood demons contributed 2 portions of body powder, totaling 18 portions.

This is the poison we are going to identify today.

No one will disturb the Poison Alchemy Room.

Moreover, after an elemental servant comes into contact with toxins, its structural value will drop quickly, and it is easy to be scrapped or the elements will dissipate.

There are no elemental servants with surveillance functions in the poison alchemy room.

Such a good environment

Do you want to try the poisonous effect of [Flesh and Blood Control]?

Xia Zuo thought about it in his mind for ten minutes, making sure that there were no loopholes and no mistakes would be exposed. Then he opened the metal box and took a handful of red sand and put it in the palm of his hand.

Activate [Control of Flesh and Blood] to accommodate the red sand and drive the body to digest.

Xia Zuo shivered for a second as if he was struck by lightning, and then turned off [Flesh Control] and forced the red sand to be excreted.

His eyes changed from dull to surprised, and finally he almost jumped up and applauded!

The harvest from this poison trial was far beyond imagination.

Not only have all the poisonous effects of red sand been tested.

He even got the Blood Demon’s bloodline mark!

As for the price

There were two tubes of scarlet viscous blood left in Xia Zuo's nostrils, like sticky snot, and exuding a sour smell...

He walked to the pool and leaned over to wipe the tip of his nose with water, but the blood still fell and stained the entire pool red.

"Ahem..." Xia Zuo coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood and opened his character template.

【HP】

195/210 (slight poisoning, moderate corrosion, others omitted)

Moderate corrosion: 15 blood points will be deducted every minute, and the blood deducted will increase by 5 points every 1 minute, lasting 5 minutes.

Hard resistance can be overcome.

But Xia Zuo was in a good mood now and decided to have a little luxury.

He used the Life Alchemy Stone to drink a few sips of the recovery potion to restore his blood volume to full, and all negative effects except for minor poisoning were lifted.

At the moment when the body was forced to digest the red sand, the moderate corrosion lasted for up to an hour. Even if he drank the potion and added all the free attribute points, it would not be enough.

Xia Zuo had to be glad that he did not test the poison orally.

He wiped his face with a towel, cleaned the sink, and slumped down in the chair with a smile on his lips.

[Flesh Control] This specialty is really popular.

He could even get a bloodline mark.

hey-hey…

Xia Zuo activated [Blood Sensing] and selected the blood mark he had just obtained - Iboyk.

Waited for 1 minute.

There was no sound in my ears.

He shrugged his shoulders, turned off [Blood Sensing], activated [Blood Curse], and also chose Iboyk's blood mark.

Xia Zuo sat up straight and looked down.

In sight was a carpeted metal floor.

But he could feel that there was a blood demon about dozens of meters away underground, and its name was Iboike.

This feeling is amazing.

You can't see the opponent clearly, but you can accurately locate the target.

If a curse is cast on Iboike...will there be a curse mark on the Blood Demon's body?

Xia Zuo looked at his right hand and thought about it but still didn't dare to try it.

Maybe change the curse target.

Xia Zuo's eyes fell on the shelf.

There were 7 boxes of poison brought from the 17th Action Team.

According to Dunk, there may still be three Transformers lurking in a corner of Poseidon.

Xia Zuo picked up one of the metal boxes, took out the poison from it and put it in the palm of his hand.

After some poison testing, he got the blood mark of a transformer - Kachipes.

Activate [Blood Curse] and select Kachipes’ blood mark.

Xia Zuo raised his head and looked to the northwest about 1 kilometer away. Kachipes was walking slowly, as if he was taking a walk on the street.

What is this called?

Seeing the mystery, directly peeking into the answer?

There is no need for an action team to search, investigate, or investigate. As long as the poison left by the converter is obtained, the target can be targeted with 100% accuracy.

too! powerful! Got it!

Maybe Poseidon City will become a restricted area for transformers in the future?

Come on, grab one.

By then, in this place, the converts will be on the verge of extinction.

In Xia Zuo's mind, the idea of ​​casting a curse on Kachipes from a distance became stronger and stronger.

He leaned back on the chair, bent his elbows on the armrests, crossed his fingers in front of him, closed his eyes and meditated for a moment, and finally decided to try the Curse of Slowness with a power of 1 point.

In order to minimize possible spell fluctuations, he also turned on [Blood Sacrifice Spellcasting].

Xia Zuo cast the curse of slowness and stared at his hands.

No magic light appears!

Could it be that..

Using [Blood Curse] to cast a curse spell through the air will not put a curse mark on the target?

As for the curse’s backlash

Xia Zuo looked at his character template, and there was an additional status message on it:

[Slowness Curse Backlash: Movement speed reduced by 0.1%]

Xia Zuo touched his right armpit. There was no warm touch inside the alchemy stone leather sheath, indicating that the curse had bypassed the amulet and directly affected him.

This is not a good thing.

This means that Xia Zuo cannot use conventional means to avoid the backlash effect caused by [Blood Curse].

Let’s put this question aside for now.

Let's see if Kachipeshi reacts.

With a thought in his mind, Xia Zuo activated [Blood Sensing] and chose Kachipes' blood mark.

"No, Catchpies, I'm not sending down punishment."

A hoarse voice came to my ears. It should be the blood demon who made Kachipes.

Although this sound is unpleasant, it is definitely not made up of several voices fused together, so this blood demon is probably an ordinary blood demon, not a high-level blood demon.

Listening to the meaning of the words, Kachipes reported the abnormality on his body to his master, and asked if the master was casting a curse on it.

"No, Catchpace, I repeat, I am not punishing you. Tell me what the cursed brand looks like...

"What? No curse mark? Is it the power of blood that is restricting your flesh and blood body?!"

My ears fell silent.

The Gorefiend seemed to be in shock.

If it had a face, Xia Zuo could imagine its stunned look.

Since there is no curse mark, it is impossible to trace the source of the curse.

[Blood Curse] is far more hidden than imagined!

In this case... let's work harder and test the reactions of the Blood Demon and the Transformer.

Xia Zuo quietly replaced the Curse of Slowness with the Curse of Decay, and increased the spell power to 6 points.

One-tenth of the curse's effect will come back to him.

At this time, the blood recovery data on the character template changes.

[Basic blood return speed]

0.75 points/minute

[Real-time blood return speed]

0.05 points/minute

(Resistance, willpower, and blood sacrifice casting consumption have been calculated, and will not be explained later)

The voice of the Blood Demon came to my ears:

"I cannot trace the source of the curse, Kachipes. Call your companions and leave the city of Poseidon as far away as possible."

The Transformer wants to escape?

Xia Zuo thought about it and hesitated whether to increase the output and try [Blood Rage Casting].

The blood demon could not trace the origin of the curse, and the bailiff did not come to question the reason for the spell. This was a good opportunity to experiment with blood magic.

Xia Zuo paused casting spells and called up the specialty of [Blood Fury Casting].

Every 10 blood points spent can increase the non-attribute power by 1 point. With the help of advanced curse seals, the curse spell power can be increased by 2 points.

When Xia Zuo got this specialty, he came up with a cool trick of using healing potions in exchange for spell power.

There are now a total of 210 blood points.

Xia Zuo activates [Blood Rage Casting] 10 times in a row, and then takes a sip of the resuscitation potion to increase the speed of blood recovery.

The effect bonus of [Blood Rage Casting] lasts for 1 minute.

When stacking layers, the duration will not be refreshed.

You must seize the time to cast the spell, and at the same time, wait for the blood to come back up, and then continue to add layers of [Blood Rage Spellcasting].

Xia Zuo mobilized all the elements and cast a full-power Curse of Decay.

The curse spell power at this time is 22 points, corresponding to 22 points of blood deduction per minute.

The blood deduction speed of backlash is 2.2 points per minute.

Taking into account the damage reduction effects of resistance and will, the backlash damage is 1.9 points/minute.

This bit of backlash damage

Xia Zuo glanced at his blood volume, which was 120/210. The backlash damage was just a drizzle and would not hurt his muscles or bones.

The duration of [Blood Rage Casting] is about 50 seconds. Counting the transformer's resistance damage reduction, the total damage is about 20 points.

To be honest, this damage is too low for a transformer with strong vitality.

Xia Zuo frowned and looked to the northwest, where Kachipes was speeding away from the city.

And its HP decline has been slowed down.

After the effect of [Blood Rage Casting] ends, Curse of Decay's blood depletion speed is not as fast as Kachipeth's recovery..

It seems that the converter does have a special method of recovering blood.

The same was true for the transformer who was bombarded by fireball for several minutes last time. Even though his body was blown to pieces, he still survived.

Xia Zuo knew the taste of the marrow and knew the benefits of high blood recovery speed, so he developed a desire for this method of blood recovery.

"Katchipes, you must have been targeted by pure-blooded bastards."

Xia Zuo was stunned by the blood demon's words.

What is a pure-blood faction?

There will be the blood of several blood demons in the converter's body.

High-level blood demons are composed of 13 blood demons.

This method of inheritance will allow several types of blood to be mixed together.

If they are classified as mixed-blood faction, pure-blood faction refers to converts who only have one kind of blood in their body?

wrong.

Judging from the tone of the blood demons, they have a hostile relationship with the pure-blood faction.

So the purebloods...are not converts? Not even a force from the Strange Demon Church?

"You go to Polis City."

The blood demon stopped talking and his ears were clear.

Xia Zuo had a lot of doubts about the "pure-blood faction" in his mind.

But now is obviously not a good time to think about this issue.

He felt that the transformer was getting farther and farther away, and it had already reached a place 2 kilometers away. Its blood volume no longer dropped, so he had to lift the curse of decay and let Kachipes leave.

The city of Polis is more than 50 kilometers away from the city of Poseidon, and it would take Cachipes a few hours to get there.

Xia Zuo used [Blood Curse] to check the location of the other two transformers, and without exception they were running away towards Polis City.

It seems that Captain Dunk's mission to detect the Transformers is doomed to fail...

Xia Zuo closed [Blood Curse], stood up, poured himself a cup of coffee to refresh himself, and then sat on a chair to reflect on his previous operations.

first.

The power of the spell is too low. Even with the blessing of [Blood Rage Spellcasting], it is very difficult to destroy a transformer who is good at recovering blood.

Transformers are equivalent to mage apprentices.

As an official mage, Xia Zuo cannot easily deal with it, which is somewhat unreasonable - this is related to the fact that he is not a combatant. As an alchemist, he does not need to accommodate so many elements for the time being.

Secondly.

Currently, using [Blood Curse] to kill transformers from the air risks exposing oneself.

Because the targets he can choose all come from poisons provided by the 17th Action Team, which will inevitably put him among the important suspects.

What's more, this kind of killing of transformers from a distance happened after he came to Poseidon City.

With a little speculation by those who are interested, it is not difficult to connect the two and further narrow the scope of suspects.

at last.

We have to find a way to weaken the converter's blood recovery speed.

It is necessary to find the kind of curse that reduces the body's recovery ability and use it in conjunction with the curse of decay.

But is there such a curse spell?

Xia Zuo was completely confused, with question marks written all over his face.

In addition, there was another place that caught his attention.

So far, by participating in killing Transformers and Blood Demons, a total of 6 specialties (note ①) have been obtained, all of which are related to the [Vitality] attribute.

【Vitality】58

Attribute values ​​exceeding 50 points may be the threshold for determining the acquisition of associated specialties.

If you increase other attributes to 50 points, or even exceed vitality, can you obtain the specialties related to other attributes?

Strength, agility, and endurance, the related specialties of these three attributes should be related to directly improving physical fitness.

The related expertise of the perception attribute may be related to searching for blood patterns, identifying blood patterns, and searching for blood marks.

The specialty related to the mental attribute may be a certain spell of blood magic, such as a spell to control blood patterns, a spell to condense the body of a blood demon, a spell to use markers to search for specific people, etc.

The related specialties of the will attribute may be related to resisting poison and maintaining a clear mind. After all, if the quantity and quality of the blood streaks are not enough, the blood mage will lose his mind.

Thinking about it this way, blood magic is indeed a magic school that constitutes a complete system on its own, which is far deeper than the spirit school and totem school.

Xia Zuo thought for a few minutes, finished his coffee, and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost 1 p.m.

He spent about ten minutes using [Flesh and Blood Control] to test the poison, and obtained the poison effects of the remaining 9 blood demon bodies.

But he wasn't ready to create an accurate antidote right away.

This was inconsistent with his cautious style.

Just let everything take its course, and it is safest to use conventional poison identification methods for experiments.

Note ①: The six specialties are [Blood Sacrifice Casting], [Blood Induction], [Flesh Control], [Blood Pattern Language], [Blood Rage Casting], and [Blood Curse].
