Cheng Wuling tortured an immortal cursed villager alive out of Stockholm, but Lu Ning obtained enough blood supply to allow her to explore more uses of these blood spells step by step.
The so-called blood theory of the same origin has also been verified. Lu Ning used his own blood and the blood taken from Wu Dazhuang to stab two villagers who were later captured with poison-quenching daggers. The results were hugely different.
The stabbing with Wu Dazhuang's cursed blood only left an incision, which soon healed slowly under the constitution of the villagers. Another villager immediately began to twitch. Purple marks spread rapidly from the knife edge to the whole body. A putrid smell quickly spread from the wound. By the time the purple color spread to half of the body area, the villager was already dead.
The poison is strong enough to kill the villagers' undead nature.
"Pure-blood hunters have really developed something incredible."
Lu Ning looked at the dagger in her hand and was slightly surprised.
From the previous information, we can know that these villagers are indeed not completely immortal, but most of their bodies must be burned into fly ash. The effect of this direct poisoning is really amazing.
The powder can even be coated on crossbows, making the arrows fired poisonous.
"Then it's almost time to head to the castle on the top of the mountain."
Cheng Wuling raised his head and looked at the mountain peak.
"Shu Xingruo and Su Zhilan have already put on masks, and now they can understand the content of divine magic through the connection of that mask. As long as you teach the remaining people how to use blood magic, our armed part will be basically completed... "
"Wait, there is yourself." Lu Ning will not let Cheng Wuling fool him here, "Now everyone has a certain fighting ability, but that does not include you. Are you not ready to learn blood magic?"
"I do not need."
"Then at least tell me what you can rely on. I don't mind waiting one more day, but we must be fully prepared before heading to the castle."
"Um...this?"
Cheng Wuling took out a glass tube from his pocket, in which hovered a jar of "liquid" that was as bright as the stars in the universe.
"This is……"
"I got this as a thank you for listening to their tragic history. Although it is okay to leave it to you as a backup method, I believe it will be more useful, such as necessary materials for important ceremonies."
Cheng Wuling explained.
"Then - another question, the catalyst for blood magic..."
The four cans in Lu Ning's hand are enough for her own use, but if they are distributed to so many people, they may not be enough. And if she does not reset her time, the part she consumes and loses will not be regenerated, which means there will be no replenishment.
"Well, it's time for us to talk to the hunters about cooperation."
====================
The atmosphere in the village today is undoubtedly bad.
A few people were captured, but compared to the number that escaped, it was far from enough. Some villagers have disappeared. Even though they have confidence in their own vitality, most of the clan leaders do not have any expectations for their IQ.
Such a big movement would not be invisible to the hunter cabin.
But they enjoyed watching the show. The advantage of having a small number of people is reflected here. The blood bags under their hands have not escaped, and the reserves are still sufficient.
But this smile did not last long, to be precise, it was Shi Xiaolang.
"Would you like to come and talk about a deal?"
On the hillside as dusk approached, a woman stood with a leisurely posture, and behind her were shadowy figures in the forest.
Now, after his companions returned from hunting, everyone in the hunter's cabin was present. Shi Xiaolang was confident that they could catch everyone no matter how many people there were on the other side.
However, just when the hunters were alerted and came out to see what was going on, Cheng Wuling revealed the fatal condition.
"I know the whereabouts of your eldest brother, second sister, third sister and fourth brother. They may still be alive now. Which of you is willing to go with us to save people?"
Shi Xiaolang secretly thought it was going to be bad.
He did not doubt the unity of the pure-blood hunters, but when there were more people, there would always be estrangement. In this regard, Shi Xiaolang, who was a latecomer, was not as prestigious as the three veteran hunters who originally built the hunter cabin, and many hunters who were also at the top were even taught by those four, just like he taught A Ming.
In this way, in addition to brothers and sisters, there is another master-disciple relationship... which he cannot replace in any case.
"Who are you? Do you really know where the third sister has gone?"
As expected, Fatty was the first to stand up.
Immediately afterwards, the younger hunters also asked questions one after another. The older ones were still able to hold on, but their emotions were obviously wavering.
Shi Xiaolang sighed secretly.
"I am the instigator of the chaos in the village today. Their current situation is caused by me and a few companions. When we were conducting secret investigations here, we discovered the whereabouts of several of your missing hunters, so we came to ask Your opinions.”
"Fifth brother!"
The fat man was the first to turn his head, and Shi Xiaolang couldn't help but want to slap him - this was too coaxing.
As a last resort, he could only talk to the other person.
"What evidence do you have? And why do you think we will help you? Sorry, although I miss them very much, they told me before they left..."
"Then why are you building a hut on the mountain again?"
Cheng Wuling cut off his words.
"Tsk."
Sure enough, upon hearing this, several hunters around him immediately cast surprised looks at him.
"You're still arguing that it's not yours now, are you? We found the development drawings of the blood technique there, and your companions should recognize your handwriting."
"Fifth Brother? You..." Mu Zilan walked to Shi Xiaolang's side, her eyes a little sad, "Are you going to leave without telling us too?"
"People who casually check into other people's homes are really bad guests." Shi Xiaolang raised his feet slightly, hesitated for a moment and then put them down.
"Now, can we talk? You don't need to hide your companions anymore. Since you are united, wouldn't it be good to continue to be united like this?"
"Nonsense! If unity is useful, wouldn't I have thought of it? How could I let these immature little guys do such dangerous things!" Shi Xiaolang raised his eyebrows and glared at Cheng Wuling, "If we fail, someone should be there To make up for it, I’m gone and I still have Lao Liu! I don’t need you to deal with the hunter…”
When he saw a smile on Cheng Wuling's face, he suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
"Since neither the eldest brother nor the third sister can escape, what do you think you can do on your own? Fifth brother?"
Mu Zilan's voice trembled slightly, and the hunters nearby also gathered around.
"Brother, I know you are powerful, but to be honest, I don't think you can compare to Third Sister." Fatty said straightforwardly, "Since Third Sister hasn't come back, it's a waste of time for you to go. I said something a bit rough, so don't be angry. .”
"you……"
"I don't just accept a burden casually."
A man with long hair and a somewhat feminine appearance said with a smile. He was also the sixth person in Shi Xiaolang's mouth.
"That's right." The hoarse voice of the short and thin hunter also sounded, "No matter how you think about it, the more people the better. Since three of us failed together, we will go together with twenty-one. Don't keep looking at us. It’s a burden.”
"Fifth brother, I, I too..." A Ming also bravely raised his hand.
Shi Xiaolang listened to the sounds around him and couldn't help but look at Cheng Wuling.
With the light behind her, she was surrounded by a circle of warm sunset light. Of course, Shi Xiaolang would not be fooled by the effect of using the environment, but it had to be said that it looked quite intimidating.
"You are so powerful... When I rescue them, you will be the first one I want to kill."
He pointed at Cheng Wuling, his expression turning into a sneer.
"You can try."
The other party also refused to give in.
The agreement was tentatively reached in this atmosphere.
====================
Hilltop castle.
This place that he had been looking for since the beginning finally came into Lu Ning's sight. It stood on the top of a mountain with sparse trees, and a stone step rising from the middle of the mountain became the only access. The whole castle has a simple and dark color, which is not the effect of paint, but the desolation given by the years.
She was not the only one who could see the castle. Many people also witnessed the location of the castle. This time, those who could not see it became a minority. For example, Deng Wei did not seem to have met the conditions for being able to see it.
"It will take about two hours to arrive from here."
A muffled voice came from beside Lu Ning. It was Shu Xingruo. The pig face mask still had a blocking effect on the sound, which made it a little uncomfortable for a while.
"Who would have thought that a mountaintop castle could be so close?"
It's just that this one is hidden enough. After so many time resets, we can get a glimpse of it, so the possibility of "gods" living in it is really high.
The final boss always appears last.
At this time, a ball of blue fire ignited in Shu Xingruo's palm. The fire jumped a few times like a playful elf. Shu Xingruo immediately understood and nodded.
"Cheng Wuling has already said that the hunters are dispatched. Let's leave now."
Lu Ning nodded and looked back at the open space not far away. A lot of people have gathered there, they are all tourists and people who can see the castle. If you can't see it, just stay elsewhere and wait for the opportunity. No matter what, you have to go to the castle to find out tonight.
"One hundred and thirty-four... with this number of people, at least we have to find some flaws."
It was impossible to say that he was not worried. The danger level of the mountaintop castle was completely unknown. Even though he had gathered a large number of people and had reliable companions around him, Lu Ning still felt that there were some mysteries that had not yet been solved.
The large army has already set off, and most people still retain the habits they had in the testing field. They are not vigilant enough, and there will inevitably be reminders when danger is coming - this rule is no longer applicable in the promotion test.
Facts quickly proved this.
