Chapter 18 Mutation
Burning Canyon, this place name seems very familiar.
Qianye thought about it for a long time before finally remembering where he had heard of this place.
Burning Canyon is not far from the Yellow Spring Training Camp, and there are a large number of crystal lizards living in it. This six-legged crawling monster can reach up to five meters in length and is truly a behemoth. The crystals on them are one of the important raw materials for making force guns.
The graduation standard for the Huangquan training camp is to be able to hunt a crystal lizard alone and recover the crystal. For students who usually only hold standard daggers, how easy is it to kill a giant lizard with level 2 strength? The graduation exam is also a part of the Huangquan training camp with a high attrition rate.
On the other hand, crystal lizards like meat, so it is also the best place for training camps to deal with various corpses.
When he thought of the Burning Canyon, Qianye was suddenly startled and immediately shouted instinctively: "No! I'm not dead, I'm still alive! Put me down!"
He suddenly sat up and realized that it was actually a dream. For more than a year, he would wake up from nightmares every night, and sometimes he couldn't tell whether it was reality or an illusion.
Qianye looked around and saw that it was still late at night and he was still in the garbage dump. A scrawny wild dog was biting its own foot and pulling hard.
Qianye casually grabbed a hard metal part and threw it with all his strength, hitting the wild dog's nose. The animal whined and ran away with its tail between its legs.
He moved, only to feel pain everywhere in his body, and the pain in his chest was as sharp as if it was torn apart by the slightest movement. He first checked the injuries on his body and found that his left arm was broken, most of the ribs on his chest were broken, and there were many large and small wounds on his body.
But surprisingly, his injuries were much lighter than expected. The broken bones have automatically joined together and are showing signs of re-growth. The external wounds no longer bleed, and many small cuts have been closed.
In his body, Qianye felt the vigorous vitality flowing. Apart from the fact that his bones haven't fully grown yet, his physical condition is surprisingly good, and the bloodthirsty thirst he had before halfway through the battle seems to have disappeared.
Qianye suddenly felt two deep wounds on the side of his neck, and his expression suddenly froze.
Why was he bitten by a vampire again?
But he was relieved immediately. What's the difference between biting once and biting twice? It has long been contaminated anyway. But the smell coming from his fingertips made Qianye's heart sink again!
It was a kind of smell with a light fragrance, very familiar, it was the smell of Ye Tong!
At this point, all the doubts have been answered. Nighteye is not only a vampire, but also an extraordinary high-ranking vampire.
Nighteye's special ability can actually hide all the characteristics of the vampire family, making him look no different from a human being, and even his body temperature can be maintained at a normal human level.
Whether Qianye directly touched her body or examined her through the sight of the tactical scope, he could not see the reaction that a normal vampire should have. This is really an incredible ability.
He actually joined forces with a high-ranking vampire to kill a noble vampire and an elite werewolf? Qianye's mood was extremely complicated at this time, and he didn't know whether to be happy or regretful.
Ye Tong was the first partner he joined forces with after arriving in the Evernight Continent. When Ye Tong turned back and entered the garbage dump, Qianye's heart really beat hard, and he even felt strongly moved at that time. Before Qianye was knocked away, what he saw was that Ye Tong was being surrounded by the wolf clan and the vampire clan, and the situation was critical.
Even though it was now confirmed that Ye Tong was a vampire, Qianye found that he still couldn't hate her. For no other reason than for her to resolutely return and face a powerful and invincible enemy with herself.
Since she can suck her own blood, can she continue to live? Qianye thought.
The cold night wind blew through, carrying an unchanging smell of decay. Qianye shook his head and put aside too many messy and useless thoughts. He suddenly felt something strange on his wrist. When he raised it, he saw that there were two holes there!
Qianye frowned, stretched out his hand to wipe it, and felt a strange sweet fragrance coming from his fingertips. No matter how good the smell was, it couldn't change the fact that it was another Vampire leaving blood-sucking traces.
It turned out to be a blood feast? This word came to Qianye's mind.
The Blood Feast is a very formal ceremony of the Vampire Clan.
In fact, real vampires do not like to bite people anytime and anywhere. Their thirst for blood during war is more to replenish strength and recover from injuries, just like humans use various military stimulants to boost combat effectiveness.
Everyday vampires regard eating blood as a very sacred thing. It is a private time for them to communicate with their ancestors in order to inherit more power of blood. Therefore, except for blood feasts, they never share prey with other tribesmen.
The blood feast is equivalent to human salon social interaction, representing the close relationship, friendly stance, mutual trust, etc. between the participants. As for the staple food of the blood feast, most of the humans are in line with the gourmandism of vampires. The blood tastes particularly good, or they have special identities and are powerful enough.
Qianye suddenly raised his head, looked at the bloody full moon, smiled, and said to himself: "I am actually qualified to be the main course of the blood feast!"
Perhaps it wasn't , but the strange thing was that he was still alive.
He stood quietly for a moment, and then began to carefully explore his surroundings. This is the instinct that Qianye has developed over many years. This instinct has allowed him to avoid sneak attacks and survive countless dangers on the battlefield.
There were many werewolf corpses not far away, and one of them had particularly slender hands and feet. That feature turned out to be that of a shadow wolf!
These werewolves were obviously more powerful than the ones Qianye saw at the beginning, but they all died here, and none of them had their heads intact. The blood, broken bones and brains all over the floor showed the cause of their death.
Then there is the second doubt. Several werewolves are already in the state of mummies, obviously having been sucked out of their blood. This is not common. Everyone knows that vampires never drink werewolf blood, not because of the taste, but because of belief.
Moreover, the residual smell of blood actually made Qianye feel familiar. He walked to the werewolf's corpse, squatted down, and looked at it carefully. The werewolf's artery was bitten open, but what was left was not the hole of the blood-sucking fangs, but the traces of human bites.
Qianye knew immediately that he had sucked the blood of these werewolves.
No wonder I haven't felt bloodthirsty and thirsty for so long. It turned out that I had already had an attack when I was unconscious. This was the first time . He thought a little irrelevantly, could the dark blood be suppressed anymore? Maybe the next time thirst strikes, it will be the final moment.
When he thought of this, Qianye subconsciously touched the Red Scorpion Saber, but came up empty. Only then did he remember that when he was knocked away by the elite werewolf, all his equipment should have been scattered.
Qianye planned to stand up and look for his saber. At the sacred moment when he was about to end his life, he still hoped to use the saber derived from the Red Scorpion.
At this time, his eyes fell on the cane that the werewolf corpse was clutching. At the top was a constant light dial. Qianye's mind automatically converted the time on the dial calendar, and then he was stunned, three days? He has only been in coma for three days, no wonder the blood moon has not faded.
Qianye suddenly realized that his body had been feeling abnormal since he woke up. He first reached over and dialed the constant light dial to make sure it was not broken, and then used a simple internal vision method to check his physical condition.
Sure enough, nothing was right.
Only three days have passed, and the blood moon has not ended, but Qianye does not have the unbearable burning feeling that is bound to last for a long time after every black blood attack. If this was because he had absorbed enough blood, then the self-joined bones, semi-healed internal organs, and nearly healed trauma all showed that he had a very strong recovery speed, which was by no means normal.
For a moment, Qianye almost thought that he had become a blood slave, but he was clearly conscious and thinking normally.
Qianye immediately found a hidden place, sat cross-legged and began to activate the force, completely running the military heart-healing method to examine the internal condition of his body.
The force surge in his body has reached the edge of level three. The force node on his right hand shows a clear outline, and the barrier may be broken through at any time. As long as this barrier is broken through, the force node on the right hand can be ignited, and one can truly enter the ranks of a third-level warrior.
But at this moment, in his body, along with the movement of the Force, there were actually wisps of rich dark red energy. This is the blood produced by the blood of darkness .
Originally, the dark blood in Qianye's body was completely uncontrollable, wandering around in the meridians, constantly eroding and assimilating the surrounding flesh and blood. There are bursts of scorching heat wherever it passes. When this heat accumulates to a certain level, it will burn people's consciousness and gradually become blurred, and they are extremely thirsty for new flesh and blood. Qianye has been fighting it for nearly a year, and he is very clear about the destructive power of this energy.
But now, the nearly jet-black blood energy is still running, but he can't feel any discomfort. If he hadn't been looking inside, Qianye would have almost thought that it was all his own energy. In addition, there are two special colors in the ink-black blood, one is deep red with purple hints, and the other has a hint of gold.
Qianye's consciousness stirred slightly and he stopped running the Battle Art. Then the tide of force slowly descended, and the blood of darkness also subsided. Qianye felt extremely unbelievable. He tried to control and push the blood energy. After a moment, his whole body was shaken. The blood energy rushed into his heart crazily, and then overflowed. In the end, two mysterious runes were condensed, and a piece of information immediately poured into Qianye's consciousness.
Vampire physique.
Eye Technique: Dark Vision.
Those two runes turned out to be two abilities belonging to the vampire clan.
The vampire's physique will guide its own blood energy to continuously transform and strengthen the body, improving recovery power and recovery speed. In the case of a large amount of blood-sucking, the body's recovery speed will increase again, which is also the unique racial advantage of the Vampires.
Eye Technique: Dark vision is an innate ability of many vampires. They can see objects freely in the dark night, and the effect is even more powerful than human night vision devices.
Qianye watched the changes in his body inexplicably, but no matter how he used the art of inner vision, he found nothing new. Now there are two distinct energies flowing in parallel in his blood. The milky white one is the force of dawn, and the three intertwined dark red colors are the power of blood, which is a kind of dark force. Two Forces with extremely opposite attributes now coexist peacefully, as if they exist naturally.
But Qianye at least knows one thing. If the black blood no longer creates corrosive heat, there should be no thirst for flesh and blood. Does that mean he will always remain awake and sane? The other two newly added abilities also filled Qianye with expectations.
Destiny seems to have finally shown a kind smile to Qianye!
