Chapter 629 Bone Steel, a New System Built on Skeletons

Lu Xingshi quickly learned about the development of this parallel world number one.

A new system based on a special alloy called bone steel. Primitive people have completely degenerated and no longer possess powerful strength. Totem warriors and witches have withdrawn from the stage of history.

The corpses they left behind were used as one of the raw materials for bone steel. Whether they were totem warriors or witches, they were all called wizards by this group of people.

Those who use bone steel to fight are called Steel Users. They not only use weapons and armor forged from bone steel, but also refine bone steel through an energy called Qi to gain powerful strength.

But this power is indeed extraordinary. However, the so-called qi is actually the power of blood.

According to Lu Xingshi's observation, their bloodlines have drastically declined and become latent, so external factors are needed to activate them.

Moreover, the blood concentration is extremely low, which has caused the primitive people, who should have had great power since birth, to degenerate into their current appearance.

Taking the people he met as an example, their overall strength was probably above three blood lines, but with the support of bone steel equipment, they could reach the level of nine blood lines.

As for the blood lines and blood phases, since the concentration is too low and the blood is latent, they naturally cannot be born. Therefore, they call people with blood the running dogs of the Blood Moon.

This is not a derogatory term or discrimination, but it is indeed the case. It shows an obvious bloodline, which has been influenced by the great witch king of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, turning them all into corpse-eaters.

Only when the hidden bloodline is no longer effective and grows through indirect means can it avoid this pollution.

Therefore, the original primitive people became the running dogs of Blood Moon who were hated by everyone.

Fortunately, the number of Blood Moon's lackeys was not large. After experiencing the massacre by the Great Witch King in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and then being stabbed in the back by their bloodline, they could only wander around and form settlements.

The Steel Messengers, who used bone steel as their system, grew rapidly and formed their own city-states in imitation of the original royal court.

However, compared to the primitive man, the Steel Messenger eventually degenerated, his strength was not as good as when he was born, and his lifespan began to decline significantly, no longer being endless.

If he had not become a Steel Messenger, he could probably live to around fifty years old. After becoming a Steel Messenger, his lifespan would continue to increase with his breakthroughs.

Fortunately, in order to cope with the decrease in life expectancy, the fertility rate has increased significantly, and is almost on par with the two worlds of immortals and martial arts that Lu Xingshi had previously experienced.

At the same time, civilization developed and reached the level of feudal society.

It's just a city-state system.

Lu Xingshi followed them to a city called Baikou City. The reason for this name was because the city lord was called Baikou, a ninth-level steel messenger who was already a half-step steel king.

Above the Steel Messenger is the Steel King, which is equivalent to the level of the Great Wizard or Blood Aspect.

This city was founded by Bai Kou, so there is nothing wrong with calling it this name.

Lu Xingshi was still very curious about the Bone Steel System and wondered if he could obtain the corresponding system profession.

The basic professional knowledge of the bone steel system is easy to acquire, but it has a huge threshold.

After entering Baikou City, Lu Xingshi collected a lot of relevant knowledge. The first thing he needed was the qualifications of a witch.

Of course, in the bone steel system, it means that the affinity for bone steel must reach a certain level.

This threshold alone has stopped many people.

Fortunately, the fertility rate in Parallel World No. 1 has increased, and because of the biological selection, more and more people have the qualifications to be a witch, and about one person can have one.

However, this qualification is the lowest, so even in the Bone Steel System, growth is extremely limited.

"If you want to become a Steel Messenger, the most basic thing is a bone steel formula." Lu Xingshi took a look and found that it ended here.

The bone steel formula is the key to every Steel Messenger's transformation from an ordinary person, but this thing is not included in the professional knowledge collected by Lu Xingshi.

Everyone's bone steel formula is different, so it will never be passed on to others.

There are two ways to obtain it. The first is to find a Steel Messenger to weigh your bones for you, and then configure the bone steel yourself based on the weighing results.

The second is to pass down the bone steel formula, which has been passed down from father to son, but this has a flaw, outsiders cannot use it.

Lu Xingshi understood that this process was to confirm what kind of blood was in the body.

After all, they no longer have totems for identification, nor do they have bloodline inheritance. In addition, their bloodlines are all hidden, which is why they need the bone steel formula as a match.

Lu Xingshi didn't need to identify it, but he needed to know what other uses the bone steel formula had.

After all, in addition to determining the bloodline, the bone steel formula is also used to refine bone steel for one's own use, that is, the food needed for enhancement, the equipment materials needed for combat, and so on.

"At least there is some good news. The Bone Steel system is thriving and no longer relies on heaven for everything like the Totem system."

"They developed their own bone steel formula."

Lu Xingshi needs to learn further.

It must be said that their use of blood is far more sophisticated than the totem system. Perhaps it is because of the decline of their own blood and the gradually worsening environment that they have to develop.

Steel Messengers not only possess excellent melee combat capabilities, but also have corresponding spellcasting abilities. However, their spellcasting abilities are not as good as those of wizards. They are more like their own instincts, and their numbers are relatively small. Some Steel Messengers may only have one spell in their entire lives.

This spell is not a totem spell, but one that is dug out from the depths of the bloodline, and can be called a bloodline spell.

"From a civilizational perspective, the bone steel system is an improvement."

"However, in terms of overall strength, it has regressed greatly. Perhaps this is due to the interference of the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood."

He had never seen the King of Steel, but he had seen the Steel Messenger. A ninth-level Steel Messenger could definitely not defeat a totem warrior with nine blood veins, let alone a witch.

Therefore, in terms of threat, the Bone Steel system is far inferior to the Totem system.

After all, the totem system is the use of rules, and the bone steel system is the use of the remains of witches and totem warriors.

This is the false hope that the Great Witch King of the Sea of ​​Blood and Corpses gives to the creatures being raised in Parallel World No. 1.

Lu Xingshi was not prepared to save them. He had to figure out his own position. The Great Witch King in the Sea of ​​Blood and Corpses was a dictator, and Lu Xingshi was an invader.

When it comes to weakening the world, Lu Xingshi is even better than the Great Witch King in the sea of ​​blood and corpses.

The other party is in a situation where the wealth is not given to outsiders, but Lu Xingshi is an outsider.

"But it's not without its merits. The bone steel system can be used to refer to the levels above my blood system." Lu Xingshi muttered.

He is not a snail. He can just add the blood phase weight after the blood pattern. Even if he is the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood, he still uses the blood phase weight as the improvement.

However, because the quality of Lu Xingshi's blood patterns was too good, it reached its limit after reaching the 100th level.

Either you follow the path of the Great Witch King in the sea of ​​blood and corpses to become a god, or you have to create your own.

As an adult, Lu Xingshi of course wants it all. Attaining enlightenment and becoming a god is actually the path of a witch, while the blood phase is that of a totem warrior, the only difference being the priority.

The Great Witch King in the Sea of ​​Corpses and Blood is mainly based on the witch's enlightenment and deification, supplemented by the blood of the totem warrior.

Even though he always fights with blood, it is actually because of the foundation of rules that his blood is so powerful.

"How about we rob some?" The first thought that came to Lu Xingshi's mind was to steal the bone steel formula. Without further ado, he would slaughter the Baikou City and guarantee that he would get what he needed.

But as soon as this idea came up, he rejected it.

The value of the bone steel system is not enough to make him kill indiscriminately. No matter how wonderful this thing is, it has only been in its infancy for a short time, and it has been interfered with and even castrated by the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood.

Moreover, if he really carried out Tutu, he would definitely be noticed by the Great Witch King in the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood. If a fight broke out then, Lu Xingshi would suffer a great loss.

He hasn't even finished collecting the data on Parallel World No. 1.

I definitely won't be able to stay after the fight. Even if I can stay, I will be hunted down by the Great Witch King in a sea of ​​blood and corpses. How will I have time to do other things?

So this is a loss-making thing, and the best way is to exchange it.

Food, whether in Parallel World No. 1 or Parallel World No. 2, is a hard currency.

...

"A person who does not have the Blood Moon bloodline, but has a corresponding body shape and is not thin?" Bai Kou's expression condensed. After listening to the report from her subordinates, her expression was a little solemn.

"And he can also shatter space with his bare hands, and completely kill the Blood Moon lackeys without the use of bone steel."

"Do you know where he came from?" Bai Kou asked.

"I don't know, but this man is not a lackey of Blood Moon, and he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions." said the man kneeling below.

"By the way, you said he is still searching for the formula of bone steel. What do you think is the probability that I can subdue him?" Bai Kou said.

This made the man below silent, mainly because his own city lord might not be a match for Lu Xingshi, so why are you thinking of subduing him?
"My Lord City Lord, the blood moon has turned completely red. The blood beast tide that occurs once every fifty years is about to come again. Should we focus on winning over this person?" A staff member at the side advised.

Things like taming the beasts can be put on hold for now, and we should focus on how to survive the blood beast tide first.

The blood beast tide is the periodic madness of ferocious beasts after being infected by the blood moon. It is also one of the means used by the Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood to reap the harvest.

This made Bai Kou ponder: "I'll listen to you. Go and invite that Lu Xingshi to the banquet."

"He wants the bone steel formula. Just give him one, provided he can help us defend against the blood beast tide's attack."

Baikou City is a new city-state. If Baikou, as the city lord, is the King of Steel, then there would naturally be no need for such trouble. However, becoming the King of Steel is so difficult that even this half step that she is short of could trap her for life.

And Lu Xingshi was very powerful, so it would be best if she could win him over. After all, she was not sure she could stop the tide of blood beasts.
