Chapter 388 The Ancestor's Urn
[Under Tedi's horrified and desperate eyes, you open your bloody mouth and pounce forward, biting the opponent. 】
[Wolves poison is automatically injected into Tai Flute's body, causing the opponent to lose the ability to resurrect...]
[Bruch's Teddy Flute was bitten to death by you! 】
[You killed Bruchte Flute, your experience value is +20, and your lifespan is +1. 】
"Sure enough, the life span is only +1... What a pity..."
Mu You sighed, not surprised. The effect of wolfsbane is to prevent resurrection, rather than directly deducting all life spans like the Poison Fountain, so the life span fed back to the killer is only the basic life span of the kill.
Mu You didn't care and continued to look at the loot.
[You searched the place where Bruchte Di died and found the ‘Vampire Count Skin’*1, ‘Signed Blood Contract’*1, ‘Blood Shrine’*1…]
As soon as this person died, Ling Ling always exploded a dozen items, but only the first three items were useful, and the rest were all ordinary sundries.
Mu You checked in turn.
[Vampire Count Skin: The skin left behind by Bruch after Teddy's death, inherited part of Teddy's talents, but also inherited part of the curse he had endured.
Comes with talents:
Activation: Your heart blood has wider adaptability. After being swallowed by a non-vampire creature (or skin), it will also gain a promotion effect, automatically causing the creature (or skin) to activate a hidden talent, which is most effective for non-vampire creatures. Effective once.
Comes with curses: blood thirst, burning sun. 】
"Huh?"
Mu You read the description of the skin carefully twice, mainly about 'activating' the talent.
According to the text, this talent simply means that his heart blood can allow all creatures to advance and gain new talents, not just vampires.
Of course, the price for promotion is that the creature will become his blood slave. Generally speaking, creatures who understand this fact will definitely not drink the blood of the heart. After all, who would completely become the slave of others for the sake of an unknown talent?
Therefore, this talent seems relatively useless on the surface. At best, it can improve the strength of blood servants when making them.
However, once this ability is placed in the hands of the player, it will be different, because the player has a skin system!
As long as you feed the blood of your heart to a certain skin, you can upgrade that skin!
[The number of your skins is full. Do you want to fuse it with the Vampire Marquis skin? 】
"no."
Mu You was not in a hurry to fuse and continued to check the loot first.
[Signed blood contract: This is a blood contract scroll that has been signed and signed by both parties. The content is as follows. 】
[Parties to the contract: Bloody Dawn Tyrant, Bruch Family Bruch Teddy.
Contract content:
1. Bruch's Teddy Flute helps the Bloody Dawn and the Vampires to unite.
2. Bruch Teddy tried his best to help the tyrant get the City of Eternal Night.
3. Bloody Dawn helped Bruch Teddy obtain three drops of the blood of the ancestors.
4. After Bruchtedi was promoted to Marquis, he gave three drops of his heart blood to the tyrant.
5. After capturing Sky City, Bloody Dawn needs to give a ‘Bloodboiling Wolf’ to Bruchte Flute as a follower. 】
As soon as he saw this contract, Mu You knew that he was safe. They had indeed arrested the wrong person this time. Tai Di was really a mole!
And judging from the content of the contract, it seems that Bloody Dawn is interested in Taidi's 'activation' talent, probably intending to use his heart blood to evolve their werewolf skin.
Although taking Taidi's heart blood will automatically establish a blood bond and become a blood servant, this is not a problem for the player. Even the blood bond is limited to the skin where the heart blood is taken. You only need to switch to another one. skin, you can get rid of the effect of blood binding.
What's more, Mu You estimates that these werewolf players won't tolerate being bound by human blood for a long time, even if it's just a skin. They will most likely find a way to kill Tai Flute after the contract is fulfilled to permanently break the blood bond.
Of course, Tai Di should have been prepared in this regard, so that he wouldn't be so stupid that he actually gave the werewolf knife to his door. Mu You didn't know what the other party was planning.
Mu You thought that the matter would end here, but when he continued to browse the contract and saw the contract signing time below, he was stunned.
The contract was signed on September 1st, the beginning of this month?
Mu You frowned. According to the information he now knew, Wolfsbane seemed to have appeared half a year ago, but it had been less than a month since Taidi signed the contract with the other party...
So, it wasn't Tai Flute who provided Wolfsbane, but there were other insiders in the Vampire Clan?
[The number of your skins is full. Do you want to fuse it with the Vampire Marquis skin? 】
At this time, the prompt pops up again in the game.
Mu You came back to his senses, thought about it, and chose 'yes'.
Originally, he thought that Taidi was the blood donor of Wolfsbane, and planned to kill the opponent and use his heart to make the antidote. However, it turned out that the opponent was not the blood donor, so his body was useless and could be directly fused. Dropped.
[You have integrated the Vampire Count skin, and your Vampire Marquis skin has gained a new talent ‘activation’. 】
[Fusion Curse Randomly... You have acquired the curse of 'high myopia'. The scenery three meters away is blurry to you. You'd better get glasses as soon as possible. 】
"oh?"
Mu You was stunned. The curse of 'high myopia' had appeared once before when the talent of 'survival of the fittest' was integrated.
And now the curse has been lowered by one level, that is to say, the actual grade of this ‘activation’ talent is one level higher than the survival of the fittest.
“Backtrack…”
Mu You refreshed according to the table, and the next ones that appeared were indeed some curses that interfered with the battle.
After refreshing more than ten times, he finally encountered a curse with acceptable effect.
[You have obtained the curse ‘inexplicably invalid’: when you use talents or magic that need to be released actively, there is a 20% chance of inexplicably invalidation. ]
This curse is actually very strong. All active talents and magic have a one-fifth chance of invalidation. Magic is easy to say. If it fails, just try again, but some talents have a limited number of times.
For example, the newly obtained activation needs to be taken when drinking the heart blood, and a vampire can only extract a few drops of heart blood. Every failure is a huge loss. This kind of thing depends entirely on luck. A little bit of bad luck is enough to make people miserable.
However, for Mu You, this side effect can be ignored. If it fails, just try again according to the table.
[Because you have merged with a complete vampire heart, your heart blood recovery time is automatically reset to zero, and you can extract the next drop of heart blood at any time. Do you want to extract it immediately? ]
"Yes."
There is no need to hesitate about this thing. The sooner you can extract it, the better.
[The extraction is successful. Your upper limit of life value is reduced by 1,000 points. You have obtained Liston's heart blood*1. ]
[What do you choose to use this drop of heart blood for? ]
Seven options pop up below: [Night Watchman], [Herb Collector], [Fortune Teller], [Mysterious Man], [Phantom Thief], [Moon Wolf], [Other Creatures]
Mu You took a look. Among his seven skins other than the vampire, six appeared here. The only one that did not appear was the mecha skin. Sure enough, the mecha without flesh and blood could not use heart blood.
Heart blood is very precious, and it needs to be carefully considered here. Mu You held the pocket watch and looked at the upgrade effects of several skins one by one.
[You switch to the night watchman skin and take the heart blood. 】
【Your Night Watchman skin is upgraded to the Night Watchman skin, and you get the talent "Punctual Time Telling": Every time at the exact moment, you can send a time telling reminder to everyone in your area (regardless of friend or foe), and your reminder will sound directly in everyone's ears. During the transmission process, everyone's actions, including yours, will temporarily stop to listen to your time telling, which will last up to ten seconds. 】
"Emm..."
Mu You looked weird. This ability is equivalent to waking everyone up in the middle of the night and forcing them to listen to the time telling? Wouldn't he be beaten if he really used it?
Of course, this ability also has more practical uses, such as using it to transmit messages throughout the city, and in battle, this ability is equivalent to a group control of up to ten seconds. Of course, the time is too difficult to grasp, and it must be on time.
Shaking his head, Mu You went back in time and tried to drink the heart blood with the Night Watchman again.
As a result, the talent that appeared this time was still "Punctual Time Telling".
It seems that the activation talent of each skin should be fixed, which has been determined at the moment of obtaining the skin and cannot be changed.
Mu You had no choice but to continue trying other things.
[You switch to the Herbalist skin and take the Heart Blood. ]
[Your Herbalist skin is upgraded to the ‘Alchemist’ skin, and you get the talent ‘Alchemy Mastery’: the quality of the potions you personally refine will automatically increase by one level, and the highest will not exceed the legendary level. ]
Mu You raised his eyebrows, and the ability of the Herbalist is much more useful. It can directly improve the level of potions. I don’t know how many potion masters dream of this ability!
Mu You didn’t rush to choose, and continued to try.
The next fortune teller, after activation, is upgraded to the ‘Master of Fortune Telling’, and the talent is to greatly increase the success rate of fortune telling and the number of fortune tellings that can be done every day.
The Mysterious Man skin, after upgrading, becomes the ‘Master of Imitation’, and the talent is ‘Practical Combat Comprehension’. Whenever others release a certain magic to you, you will increase a certain degree of comprehension of the magic. As long as the number of comprehension is enough, you can directly learn this magic in battle.
And the Moon Wolf skin, after upgrading, becomes the ‘Gang Back Wolf’, and all attacks hitting the back are invalid.
The advanced effects of these three skins are quite practical and fit the characteristics of their respective professions.
However, the most eye-catching thing for Mu You is the promotion of the last thief skin.
[You switch to the thief skin and take the heart blood. ]
[Your thief skin is advanced to 'heartless thief', and you get the talent 'deep theft': when you kill a target with an advanced skin, there is a chance that the corresponding advanced skin fragment will be exploded, and the explosion rate depends on the quality of the target's skin. ]
Under normal circumstances, when a player kills a target, he will only get a lower-level skin fragment. The advanced skin can only be obtained by directly killing the target permanently.
The power of the thief's new ability lies in the fact that it can directly explode the advanced skin. Of course, there is also a problem of explosion rate. The specific probability is not mentioned here. It is estimated that it will definitely not be too high, 1% or even lower.
However, with the pocket watch, the probability problem is not a problem for Mu You. In other words, as long as he chases and kills a person ten times in a row, he can definitely synthesize the opponent's advanced skin.
This is a magical skill of using skin to produce skin!
After seeing all the skin upgrade effects, Mu You no longer had to hesitate and directly chose to upgrade the Phantom Thief skin.
After upgrading the skin, Mu You continued to look at the last piece of loot.
[Blood Niche: It was originally an urn prepared by the ancestor of the blood clan for himself, but before the ancestor of the blood clan died, he thought that this thing was an ominous existence, which might cause the greed of the clan members, leading to the excavation of the corpses of the dukes who died in history, so that the souls of the same clan could not rest in peace, so he ordered his blood servants to destroy it. However, the blood servants exchanged the things out of selfishness, destroyed a fake, and secretly kept the real thing until they died, and took it into their own tomb. After some twists and turns, Bruchtaidi accidentally discovered this secret, dug up the tomb of the blood servant, and let the blood shrine see the light of day again.
A special blood treasure, placed on the remains of the blood duke, can absorb the remains and turn them into a drop of ancestor's blood. 】
"This thing..."
Mu You was shocked, there was actually something that could directly transform the blood of the ancestor!
However, this thing is similar to the previous troll shrine. It needs to dig up other people's ancestral graves. It is a relatively insidious thing. No wonder the ancestor of the blood clan wants to destroy it.
If most vampires get this thing, they will probably be tempted to dig up their ancestors' graves everywhere to get blood.
However, the blood clan is very concerned about their corpses. Generally, when a vampire dies, it seems that they will hide their graves very deeply, and they will not even tell their fellow tribesmen. For example, his vampire count skin, he spent a lot of effort to get it with the help of the shadow ghost. Even the count is hidden so deeply, not to mention those dukes in history.
Then how does Taidi plan to find these graves?
Thinking of this, Mu You suddenly looked back at the blood contract above.
Article 5 of the blood contract: After taking over the Sky City, Blood Dawn must give a 'Boiling Blood Wolf' to Bruch Taidi as a follower.
When Mu You saw this article just now, he didn't care, thinking it was just an ordinary additional clause, Taidi wanted to add a wolf blood slave for himself.
Now he looked at it again, but immediately noticed something unusual.
[Boiling Blood Wolf: An advanced skin of Moon Wolf, with extraordinary sensitivity to blood. Every injured person around it will make it stronger.
At the same time, because of its sensitivity to blood, the Boiling Blood Wolf is born with a strong sense of vampires, especially on the night of the full moon, when its sense of vampires will reach its peak, and it can even sense the vampire tombs buried deep underground from hundreds of kilometers away! ]
After reading the description of this werewolf, combined with the description of the Blood Shrine, the cause and effect of this matter will be clear.
Taidi is really ambitious. It is not enough to get the Blood Shrine. He is also going to take advantage of this opportunity to cooperate with the werewolf to get a blood wolf as a blood slave to help him find the remains of the ancestor duke.
If he really completes this plan, he can collect a lot of ancestral blood in just a few years, and then be promoted to the Duke, or even above the Duke...
And this matter must not be made public within the blood clan, otherwise it will definitely be opposed, and the things will most likely be confiscated. Even if they are not confiscated, they will be killed and robbed by other greedy people, so Taidi can only reach a cooperation with the werewolves in private.
Mu You exhaled and looked at the bloody urn in his hand.
No matter what, this thing has gone through many twists and turns and now it has fallen into his hands. It is impossible to say that he is not interested in the blood of the ancestors.
Teddy still needs to cooperate with the werewolves to get a boiling blood wolf. As a player, Mu You does not need to be so troublesome. Next, go directly to the wolf clan to find this kind of advanced werewolf and get a set of skins.
Shaking his head, Mu You put away the urn and was about to go back to Brand to explain the situation of the inner ghost.
At this time, he suddenly received a friend request in the game.
Clicking it, the applicant turned out to be the "tyrant".
Mu You frowned. The Tyrant actually contacted him, and it happened to be after he killed Tai Di...
It seems that when he killed Tai Di, the other party should have received a reminder through the blood covenant scroll. In the case of premature death of the contracted person, the blood covenant will be directly invalidated.
Mu You clicked to agree.
[Tyrant: Ghost Captain, I have heard of your name for a long time! I didn't expect that one day a small person like me could add you as a friend. ]
[Ghost Captain: Haha, you are polite. What's the matter? ]
[Tyrant: I don't like to beat around the bush. I will say it directly. I need to confirm that fragments three, four, five and nine are all in your hands, right? ]
[Ghost Captain: Yes. ]
[Tyrant: Very good, the remaining five are also in my hands, which means that our two families have mastered all the fragments, and no fragments have fallen into the hands of third parties. ]
[Ghost Captain: So? ]
[Tyrant: So, things are simple. You don't want the birth of Evernight City to be delayed for another month, right? Sooner or later, there will be a battle between us. Instead of dragging it out, it is better to decide the winner as soon as possible. 】
【Ghost Captain: That's what I mean. 】
【Tyrant: Okay, then, you decide the time, I decide the place, we both meet with all the fragments, at least we have to open the entrance first, and then we each rely on our own abilities, how about that? 】
【Ghost Captain: First, tell me where you chose the place? 】
【Tyrant: Thirteen miles due north of the Dark City, there is an abandoned manor castle. 】
Mu You found the map of the Undercity and looked at it. Combined with the location of the Entrance 9 shown on the map he had already put together, the reason why the other party chose this place became clear: this is probably near the location of Entrance 1!
The other party obviously wanted to take a shortcut. Once the fragments were gathered and the entrance was opened, they would directly lead people to rush into Entrance 1. Whether Mu You took a detour to Entrance 9 or followed them into Entrance 1, the advantage was in the hands of the other party, after all, the other party had already gathered a whole route.
Mu You thought about it, but did not ask the other party to change the location, and directly agreed.
[Ghost Captain: Okay. ]
[Tyrant: What about the time? ]
[Ghost Captain: 12 noon the day after tomorrow, Undercity time. 】
The day after tomorrow is Friday, and the night of Friday is the full moon night. The Evernight City will only be open on the full moon night. At the same time, these werewolves can get extremely high bonuses on the full moon night, so Mu You set the time a few hours before the full moon night begins, which not only prevents the werewolves from getting bonuses in the decisive battle, but also ensures that they can catch up with the opening time of the Evernight City after entering the city.
[Tyrant: Okay, straightforward! Then, at 12 noon the day after tomorrow, please be sure to show up at the abandoned castle. No one will be waiting after the time. ]
