Chapter 597: Harvesting

As a hunter and adventurer at sea, Xifa has of course heard of mermaids, and he also knows that the rituals required for a "Seer" to advance to Sequence 4 require the use of mermaids.

It is rumored that the mermaid's singing will make humans lose their minds and become crazy. In the sea, there are many legends about sailors jumping off the ship when they heard the singing of the mermaid, and finally became the food of the mermaid.

It's a pity that these few are already living corpses, and their bodies are showing signs of decay, so there is a high probability that they can no longer sing. Otherwise, Xifa still wants to take one or two back to raise, which can be used by Calvin when he is promoted to Sequence 4, or rented to Klein.

As for now.

Sifa, of course, ordered the removal.

The secret puppet Levtor took a big step, the armor on his body gleamed in the morning light, he swung his two-handed sword, and with a majestic sweep, he chopped off the head of a living mermaid corpse.

The weapon condensed by the 'morning light' has a purification effect. After the mermaid was beheaded, its head and body were penetrated by the morning light, and quickly rotted, accelerating death. Finally, a golden flame rose and died completely.

Xifa observed Levtor, he is not a real 'Secret Puppet Master', this secret puppet has been used for more than two months, and Levtor's strength and ability have weakened.

This process will be accelerated day by day, and after about twenty days, the Secret Puppet will be unusable.

Xifa feels a little sorry, the 'Dawn Knight' is quite practical, a secret puppet with high attack and high defense, it is really good to be used as a meat shield.

But there is no way around this, the Secret Puppet obtained by using the 'String Puppet' has an expiry date, which is quite different from the real 'Secret Puppet Master'.

The secret puppets obtained by the authentic 'Secret Puppet Master' can be used permanently as long as they are not damaged, and they can harvest multiple secret puppets, and the distance to control the secret puppets is also long enough.

"This is the difference between the trial version and the official version." Xifa complained, and then saw a black mass that looked like seaweed floating in the underground river where the mermaid corpse was.

Suddenly the ball of 'seaweed' broke away from the river surface. It turned out to be a long hair. The owner of the long hair was a lady. She was wearing a brown jacket and leather boots, with a whip tied around her waist. She was dressed like a typical adventurer.

But the exposed skin of this female adventurer is blue-gray, with corpse spots all over it, which is obviously another living corpse.

And living corpses like this emerged from the river one after another. It seemed that they had been floating on the river before that, and only then did they 'wake up' and attack.

Xifa spread his hands, his spirit leaped, and balls of orange-yellow and near-white flames rose up. These flames transformed into crows, carrying high temperature, fanning heat waves, and flying towards the living corpses.

When two or three fire crows collided with a living corpse, it would cause an explosion, ignite flames, and blow up the living corpse's body, causing their torsos to burn and raise black smoke.

creak creak——

From the depths of the underground area, there was a mouse-like cry, and after a while, Xifa saw two big mice coming out of the darkness.

They were the size of a bull, their bodies were rotting, their bones were dense, their eyes were burning with red flames, and they rushed towards Sifa.

Xifa frowned, thinking that there were too many living corpses down here, where did these things come from?

At the same time, he kept moving, and he threw layers of compressed fireballs at one of them, and shook his wrist, shaking out a long whip condensed by flames.

The compressed fireball got into the mouth of a living rat, and the next moment, the big rat's flame flashed inside, its corpse swelled violently, and then exploded completely.

At this time, Xifa swung the long whip, and the long whip condensed by the flames hit the second rat. The long whip was like a sharp blade, like cutting butter, and easily split the mouse into two, and then the rat's corpse was crushed. The flames on the whip ignited and turned into two fireballs.

Monsters emerged from the darkness one after another. Most of them were living corpses. Occasionally, there would be one or two things whose appearance could not be accurately described. This kind of monsters that were not living corpses would look like phantoms after death. Disappeared, leaving no material behind.

During this process, Xifa discovered that the attack power of the "Reaper" was really strong and exaggerated. He could always sense the target's weakness, and precisely let his attack hit its weakness, causing it to cause the greatest damage.

And when the 'fatal attack' is superimposed with some range-killing abilities, it is a 'massacre'!

This allowed Sifer to be fearless of hordes of enemies, and to 'harvest' them like straws.

During the battle, he raised his right arm, and a blazing long spear condensed in the palm of his hand. The flame at the tip of the spear was almost shrunk to a point, bursting out dazzling brilliance.

Xifa made a throwing motion, and the long spear flew out, accurately hitting a humanoid monster made up of many mushrooms, burning a big hole in its chest.

The monster froze on the spot, with the sound of bubbles bursting continuously from inside, followed by large and small, colorful mushrooms scattered on its body, and disappeared into the air like bubbles after a while, leaving nothing behind.

However, after cleaning up the mushroom monster, Xifa looked around again, and there were no other monsters except the embers.

After a while, Cattleya, who received the safety signal, brought the others down from the gap on the surface.

As early as the battle between Xifa and the monsters, the "Admiral of the Stars" noticed the underground battle, but Xifa did not ask for help, and Cattleya did not intervene, worrying that her rash intervention would disrupt Xifa's rhythm.

Standing on a piece of grass, the 'Admiral of the Stars' looked around and pushed the thick glasses on the lower bridge of his nose: "It's strange, when I observed this underground area, I didn't find any living corpses or monsters."

Xifa also believes that she didn't intentionally harm him, after all, the 'Queen of Mysteries' still needs his 'friend' to answer his doubts.

"This ocean is full of unknowns and dangers, and it's not surprising that there is a force that can interfere with your 'peeping'." Xifa looked at her and said, "Where is the exact location of the spring you saw before?"

"follow me."

Cattleya led the way, went deep into the area, and finally found the spring in the middle of two unknown bushes.

The spring water is constantly gushing out of the spring, with a few leaves floating on it, which looks very clear and can be drunk. But other than that, Xifa didn't feel anything special.

"This is the Fountain of Youth?" He looked at Cattleya.

The captain's lady said indifferently: "I have never seen the Fountain of Youth, but this is the only spring."

That is to say, you can't be sure. Xifa took out a kettle, whether it's real or not, let's fill it up first!

PS: Thank you "Jiuxuanzun" for your reward~
