Chapter 381 A Stray Cat

[You take out a bottle of powerful purification potion, give it to your uncle Jonas, and tell him to take it to expel wolfsbane. 】

[Jonas wanted to refuse, but at your strong request, he had no choice but to take the potion. 】

[After the potion entered the body, Jonas's wounds recovered a lot, but unfortunately the wolfsbane still existed in the body and showed no signs of weakening. 】

"invalid?"

Mu You frowned when he saw it. He thought it was just an ordinary wolfsbane, and the dispelling magic potion should be effective.

Moreover, what he gave was a powerful purification potion, which was a third-level magic potion. In addition to those permanent curses, general toxins and curses could be directly removed.

As a result, it was completely useless in the face of this kind of wolf poison? Does this poison have such a high priority?

[The banquet is over, you say goodbye to everyone, temporarily leave home, and go to the Undercity. 】

With the matter of wolf poison, Mu You is going to return to the city to find a werewolf to find out the origin of this wolf poison. After all, he will also need to deal with werewolves next, and he may encounter this kind of poison.

This toxin not only prevents vampire wounds from healing, but also prevents vampires from resurrecting. This is a bit scary. It is like a restraint weapon specially made for vampires. If this kind of thing is really popularized on a large scale, then vampires and The original mutual restraint between werewolves will become a one-way restraint. No matter how many vampires there are, it will be difficult to defeat the werewolves.

After communicating with the tribe just now, he already had an idea on how to catch the werewolves.

These werewolves now no longer hide and kill humans, but follow the principle that "high-end hunters often appear as prey" and disguise themselves as prey to catch vampires.

Then he only needs to pretend to be a vampire hunting in the city and wait for the werewolf to come to his door.

[You are hiding in a dark corner of the streets of the Undercity, waiting for prey...]

This prompt remained in the game for about half an hour before it finally changed.

[You hear footsteps at the street entrance ahead, getting closer and closer. 】

[Tens of seconds later, a human woman wearing high heels walked quickly past the alley. 】

[The moment the opponent passed the alley, you threw out the chain claw in your hand. 】

[The chain claws flew across quickly, pulling the other party into the alley amidst the woman's exclamations. 】

[You clamped down on the woman and bit her on the neck, but the sweet and fragrant blood was in your mouth. When you looked down, the woman under you had fainted from fear. 】

[Obviously, this is just an ordinary human being. 】

"Looking back..."

Mu You pressed his pocket watch.

[As time goes by, you ignore the woman passing in front and continue to wait invisibly. 】

This wait lasted for more than ten minutes.

[After waiting for a long time, new footsteps finally came. This time, the person passing by the intersection was a human male. He looked around and turned back every step of the way, as if he was afraid that some weird monster would pop up behind him. Walking at night in a multiracial city like the Undercity, it is always easy to encounter all kinds of bizarre incidents. 】

[The moment the opponent passed by, you threw out the chain claw again. 】

[The chain claw retracts and flies towards you with the prey at an extremely fast speed. 】

[The man was restrained by the chain claws. While in the air, his body shape changed rapidly. He became taller at a speed visible to the naked eye. His whole body was quickly covered with gray hair, and the human head on his head turned into a wolf head. 】

[You brought back a werewolf! 】

[Moon Wolf (Level 17) (Werewolf Form) (Toxin Enhanced State): A type of werewolf, whose combat power changes with the waxing and waning of the moon. It is weakest at the new moon and strongest at the full moon (it automatically transforms into werewolf form at the full moon, and cannot restore human form). The moon wolf's blood has been planted with a special kind of venom, which is in a toxin-enhanced state. The scratches and bites of the vampire will cause additional damage and poison it. Talent: Moon phase, attributes and abilities change with the moon phase. Abilities: disembowelment, rage, transformation, wolfsbane injection. 】

There is no player logo. It seems that he has hooked a werewolf aboriginal here!

Mu You has noticed that the other party's explanation specifically mentioned 'toxin enhancement', which means that the ability to restrain vampires is not innate, but something similar to a virus has been planted. It's just that This virus is harmless to werewolves themselves, but is specifically used to defeat vampires.

[The werewolf landed and saw the vampire in the shadow in front of him. A smile of success appeared on his face. He opened his mouth wide and opened his violent state. He rushed towards you with his teeth and claws. 】

[You punched the werewolf on the head. The werewolf whined and was beaten to the ground like a dead dog at your feet. 】

[The werewolf looks up at you again with fear in his eyes. He has realized that he has kicked an iron plate. The level of the vampire in front of him is much higher than it! 】

[The werewolf immediately turned around and tried to escape, but you overtook him at a faster speed and punched him again. A wolf tooth flew out of the werewolf's mouth along with blood. 】

[You dragged the desperate werewolf back into the darkness...]

[After a battle without any suspense, the werewolf died tragically under your vampire claws. 】

[You kill the Moon Wolf, your experience value is +17, your lifespan is +1, and you get ‘Moon Wolf Skin Fragment’*1. 】

[You collected them at the place where the Moon Wolf died and disappeared, and got a 'Moon Wolf's Fang' and a bottle of 'Moon Wolf Venom'. 】

After getting the things in hand, Mu You did not stay nearby anymore. He took out the two things from the game and immediately went offline.

In reality, Mu You took the bottle of dark green venom and the dagger-long wolf fang into the space backpack and sat down in front of his alchemy table.

Analyzing poisons and reversing the antidote according to the composition of the poison is also one of the professional fields of the potion master.

Before starting, Mu You first tested himself with the pocket watch, using the human form and the vampire form to cut a common wound on his body with the wolf fang.

As expected, the wound of the wolf fang in the human form healed automatically quickly, without even leaving a scar, while in the vampire form, whether it was the passive recovery ability of the butcher wolf or the healing magic such as the holy light, the wound could not be healed, and at most it could only stop bleeding. At the same time, he also had a state of "being poisoned by wolf poison and unable to revive".

After confirming this, Mu You pressed the pocket watch and returned to the time before he was injured. Only then did he start to use various instruments to study the composition of this bottle of venom. The process was similar to the previous assessment of the potion club.

The result was embarrassing. Mu You could identify most of the components in this venom, but there were still a few components that he didn't recognize at all.

There was no other way, so Mu You had to use his ultimate move: Vivian.

Vivian quickly followed him to the table and used the floating spell to control a drop of venom to spread on the test paper.

After carefully observing for a moment, Vivian suddenly frowned and said, "The other party is an old hand at making poison. This venom uses "blood activation". It's normal that you can't see it."

"Blood activation? The blood of a living person?" Mu You was stunned. This was something he had never touched before.

"Not only that, to be precise, it is "blood that remains active". The blood of the dead and the blood that is forced out of the body are useless. Only when the blood donor fully cooperates and is willing, there is a chance to take out the "blood activation" by yourself. This kind of blood has the effect of restraining the same kind. If the poison making method is sophisticated, it can indeed produce some powerful and highly targeted toxins."

"Oh..." Mu You nodded, not quite understanding.

"You don't need to study this poison anymore." Vivian suddenly said.

"Ah?"

"Because the blood-activating poison is usually unsolvable, unless you find the blood donor, drain the blood from his heart veins, and grind the heart into powder, then it is possible to develop an antidote to reverse the blood-activating poison." Vivian said.

"So troublesome..."

Mu You sighed instinctively, but then realized something: "Wait, you just said... the blood-activating poison is used to restrain the same kind?"

"That's right." Vivian nodded.

Mu You's face became strange. The 'blood-activating poison' can only be taken out if the person is willing. Doesn't this mean that this poison comes from a vampire?

In other words, there is a traitor in the vampire clan? Someone is actively helping the werewolves to deal with the vampires!

This is interesting. Generally speaking, the vampires are a group with a strong sense of racial honor. Because they have the same ancestor, even the distant families are considered to have some blood relationship with each other. There may be some power struggles within, but the interests outside are always quite consistent.

On the contrary, there is no such strong bond between werewolves. Most of them keep the habits of wild beasts and basically live alone. That's how the term "lone wolf" came about.

But now it's the other way around. The werewolves have united under the leadership of the wolf king, but the blood clan, which should have been united, has a traitor first...

Mu You doesn't really care whether there is a traitor in the blood clan. He wouldn't even care if someone else was poisoned by the wolf poison.

However, the one who was poisoned happened to be a blood relative with vampire skin. He had a good impression of that uncle. If there was a chance to catch the traitor, it would be better to save him.

After working all night, it was early morning and the sky outside was already bright.

Mu You logged into the forum and contacted Jiuyou with the ghost captain's account. He handed over the evolution potion he had refined during this period and wrote a new material requirement.

In this material list, he deliberately added the item "blood".

He could buy blood himself, but it would be too conspicuous for an individual to buy blood in large quantities, and it would be easy to be seen as abnormal, so he simply left it to Jiuyou to solve.

"Master, do you have any specific requirements for the 'fresh blood' you want?" Jiuyou quickly sent a message to ask.

"No, a standard blood bag from a hospital will do, and the identity and blood type of the donor can be anything, as long as they are human." Mu You said, and then added: "Don't worry, it's not for any evil research... In short, it's related to the vampires in the game."

"Got it." Jiuyou breathed a sigh of relief. It's not his fault that he was careful. It's really after the superpower era, there are really some taboos about blood, and giving it out casually may cause problems. And now that Mu You mentioned vampires, he understood that it was just used as food.

After finalizing the materials with Jiuyou, Mu You was just about to go back to rest when another mobile phone suddenly rang.

Mu You took it out and saw that it was the old-fashioned mobile phone given by Lu Yao.

"You returned to China?" After answering the call, Lu Yao's voice came from the other side.

"Yeah, I'm back."

Mu You said: "Don't worry about the equipment I promised you, I'll give it to you tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

He had promised to give the other party a blue suit as a reward, but the previous times of the synthesis furnace were used to synthesize high-level potions, and the synthesis of equipment was stagnant for a long time. Fortunately, he now has enough low-level equipment stored on hand. It's hard to say about purple equipment, but it's no problem to make a few blue equipment in a short time.

"Oh, there's no rush, just remember it."

Lu Yao didn't seem to be calling for this matter. After a pause, she said, "Did you... raise a cat before?"

"Cat? Yes, I did. Why?" Mu You was stunned.

Pet shops also sold pet cats a long time ago, but those were commodities after all. If we talk about the cats he personally raised, the only one was Keke.

"I saw a stray cat yesterday. It looked a bit like your American shorthair... Well, it can't be said to be similar. The body shape is quite different, but the pattern is a bit similar, so I'm not sure if it's yours. Unfortunately, I was in a hurry at the time and didn't have time to take a photo..." Lu Yao said.

Mu You was stunned when he heard it. American shorthair... Could it be Keke? But wasn't Keke sent back to its owner a long time ago? How could it appear on Earth?

"Where is the cat?"

"Do you remember the conservation base of Times Cute Pets? There is a special stray animal shelter area there. I usually send some stray cats and dogs there. I saw the cat in the base when I went there yesterday." Lu Yao said.

"Okay, I'll go check it out."

Mu You nodded. 'Times Cute Pets' was the conservation base where he originally purchased goods, but the store was transformed into a magic pet store, so he never went there again.

After hanging up the phone, Mu You immediately went out and rode a broom to the outskirts of the city.

A distance of dozens of kilometers only takes a few minutes at full speed. After three months, he came to this animal base again.

The last time I came here, there was a long queue here, and you had to have connections to enter the door. But this time, the gate was deserted, and you couldn't count a few people.

After the public beta, magic pets quickly became popular, while the industry popularity of ordinary pets plummeted, and these upstream pet bases were also on the verge of bankruptcy.

Mu You didn't have time to sigh, so he went to the gate and explained the situation to the doorman.

"American shorthair? We haven't received any American shorthair recently?" The doorman who was playing with his mobile phone was a little confused after hearing this.

"Are you sure?"

"All the pets taken in in the past week are here. Go in and take a look yourself." The old man handed him a registration form, then continued to lower his head and press his phone, cursing: "Damn it, a slime is so arrogant, take my axe!"

Mu You had no choice but to take the list into the base, and soon found the "stray animal adoption area" in the base.

There were more people here, and many young men and women were selecting various cats and dogs as adoption targets in the base.

As soon as he entered the adoption area, Mu You immediately noticed a cat among the many animals.

It was a ragdoll with smooth fur and a sweet look. Not only because of its high appearance, but more importantly, it was the only animal on the scene that was not caged.

When Mu You came in, there were a lot of young girls surrounding the ragdoll, stroking it in various ways, and constantly giving various compliments such as "so cute" and "so good".

And the ragdoll also cooperated very well, with its four legs up in the air, exposing its belly for people to stroke, and its snoring was deafening.

"Uh..."

When Mu You saw the appearance of the puppet, he immediately felt a very familiar sense of déjà vu: if the puppet in front of him was replaced with Coke's chubby face, there would be no sense of disobedience.

"Coke?"

Mu You tried to call out.

The puppet, who was enjoying it with his eyes closed in the distance, immediately moved his ears, but still did not open his eyes, just thinking that he was hallucinating.

"Coke!"

Until a louder call came, the whole cat of the puppet froze, and after a second of stagnation, it suddenly jumped up from the ground, scaring all the little girls around.

But the puppet didn't care about these, and hurriedly shook its head to look for something, and soon found Mu You standing at the door.

"Meow! Mu You!!"

The puppet meowed, and Coke's voice sounded in Mu You's mind, and then the whole puppet quickly changed into a skinny, dirty American shorthair.

As soon as it turned back into a shorthair, seeing its dirty appearance, the little girls around it who had just been fond of it immediately turned disgusted, and many of them hurriedly checked their hands, only to find that they were full of stains.

The shorthair, however, no longer cared about others, and quickly ran towards Mu You, constantly circling around his feet, and finally climbed on his legs, looking at him with tears in her eyes.

"Mu You, I finally found you, meow! Do you know what I have been going through during this period? It's so terrible, meow!"
