Chapter 78 The Crimson Lord (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader "Fox Doesn't Eat Pears"!)

[The shattered corpse of a blood slave]

Quality: Poor

[Type: Material]

[Description: Humans enslaved by bloodline forces, injected with tainted blood, become the lowest-ranking servants of the Crimson Lord.]

Reason has almost completely vanished; only the thirst for blood remains.

[It can neither transform into a higher form, nor can it die.]

[A soul driven mad is imprisoned within an increasingly withered body, causing its form to mutate.]

【"Thanks……"】

"This is?"

Looking at these lines of text, Xia En frowned and his expression changed slightly.

This monster with a human face and a dog's body was actually transformed from a human?!
Shane lowered his head and carefully examined the monster's corpse fragments.

Its skeleton appeared to have been forcibly squeezed and twisted by some force, and some features of human bones could even be vaguely seen.

And then I saw the term "bloodline".

Xia En naturally thought of beings like vampires and bloodlust.

"Could this [Blood Moon Secret Realm] actually be the territory of the Bloodline?"

"So, what is the purpose of the [Night of the Blood Moon]..."

Xia En's eyes flickered.

If he had only encountered one Blood Slave, he might have thought it was just a special monster from the [Blood Moon Realm].

With Fei Ya's warning in mind, he couldn't help but think a little more deeply.

"And, the Crimson Lord?"

Xia En was no stranger to this name.

He had obtained a relic called the Crimson Emblem when he was near Duke Island.

It was precisely because of this artifact that he was besieged by some pirates.

I came to Silvermoon Island to avoid trouble, but it seems like I've stumbled into the Crimson Lord's lair.

Is the apparent discord between Duke Island and Silvermoon Island related to the Crimson Lord, or is it just a facade?
Xia En just thought about it casually, and he felt a headache coming on.

However, what concerned him more than these issues was the Secret Sea Crystal that had been looted from the Blood Slave's corpse.

"Is it because this [Secret Realm] is located beneath the [Secret Sea]?"

"Or is it because of the special nature of blood slaves themselves?"

After a moment's thought, Xia En considered two possibilities.

But then I thought, who cares why it dropped [Secret Sea Crystal]? It's an experience pack delivered to my door, I'll just absorb it!

[Ship Soul Experience +0.2%!]

[Unlock Talent: Blood Power]

Quality: Poor

[Description: You can slightly draw upon the power within your blood.]

Since ancient times, blood has contained mysterious properties.

[Would discovering this secret power grant me superhuman strength?]

Feeling the familiar coolness flowing through his body, Xia En's lips curled up slightly.

Although the [Blood Power] talent seems to have little effect due to the characteristics of the projected body.

But putting aside all other factors.

You can fight monsters to level up, unlock talents, and there might even be secret treasures...

Isn't this [Blood Moon Secret Realm] just a variant of the [Coral City] dungeon?

"I know this stuff very well!"

Xia En's thoughts became clear instantly.

I don't know who I am, I don't know where I am, all I know is that I'm going to go on a killing spree!
……

……

Just as Xia En had figured out his strategy, he heard a muffled roar.

Turning my head, I saw several blood slaves with human faces and dog bodies approaching step by step from the shadows of the dilapidated house.

Their faces bore expressions of rage, pain, or contortion, yet their eyes remained fixed on the pirate corpses on the ground, thick saliva dripping from their mouths.

Clearly, it was the bloody smell emanating from the corpse that attracted them.

"One corpse can attract so many?" Shane asked in surprise. "Could this be considered a kind of nesting?"

The blood slaves had no idea what he was thinking.

After a roar, one of the nearest blood slaves, unable to suppress its thirst for blood, suddenly transformed into a black shadow and pounced.

In terms of speed, it is no slower than the ordinary [Coral Corpse] of Coral City!
However, the current Xia En is far more powerful than he was when he first entered Coral City.

With just a casual punch, the blood slave who had just charged forward was sent flying backward at an even faster speed, crashing into the wall with a thud.

Its body twitched twice, then remained still.

"Its speed is relatively fast, its strength and defense are average, but its vitality is quite tenacious. Is it because it became a member of the Crimson Lord's retinue?"

Xia En held back most of his strength in this punch, just to test the characteristics of this type of monster.

At that moment, several blood slaves quietly approached the pirate's corpse.

Some frantically licked the blood off the ground.

Some pierced the corpses with their teeth and greedily sucked at them.

After consuming blood, these blood slaves' shriveled bodies visibly swelled up, and their aura changed as well.

Suddenly, one of the blood slaves began to tremble violently.

It let out a piercing wail.

Pale white bone spurs grew and extended from its body, tearing its flesh apart, while scarlet blood-red gas rose from its surface.

Then, howling, it pounced on Shane.

But when that gaping maw closed, the sound of teeth shattering could be clearly heard, and several sharp teeth even flew out.

With a sturdiness attribute of up to 20 points, it feels like it's biting into a hard, cold block of iron!

[Ship Soul Power - 0.01!]

Xia En carefully felt the power coming from his arm and analyzed it to himself.

"A power similar to a sudden burst of power... should be related to [Blood Power]."

"However, it's still too weak!"

With a flick of his wrist, the entire human-faced dog was flung to the ground, its bones shattering and its flesh a bloody mess.

But when it loses its life, it stops howling, and the pain and contortion on its face seem to be relieved.

"...Thank you?"

Thinking of the last sentence in the description, Xia En sighed softly.

"Then I will grant you liberation."

Without hesitation, he strode towards the monsters surging in under the blood moon.

……

……

Even with their minor power surges, these blood slaves are actually no stronger than ordinary coral monsters in Coral City.

It posed little threat to Shaun before his enhancement.

Not to mention his complete transformation after all attributes.

Basically, it swept through everything in its path, leaving the surrounding houses in ruins, as if they had been hit by a tornado.

There are no tricks, it’s all numbers!
But this momentum didn't last long.

The surrounding blood slaves suddenly receded like a tide, bowing their heads and prostrating themselves on the ground as if welcoming their master's arrival.

At the end of the road, a man dressed in magnificent clothes and wearing a top hat walked slowly in the moonlight.

He had black pupils, a pale face, handsome features, and a faint smile on his lips.

"No wonder it's so lively today, finally fresh blood food has been delivered to our door."

"On this day, I have already... um?"

Before the man in the top hat could finish speaking, his expression changed slightly.

To his surprise, the figure in the distance seemed to have no trace of blood.
Moreover, the other party's body seemed to blend into the shadow cast by the house, dark and deep, with an indescribable eerie aura.

"So, it's time for the elite monsters to make their appearance?"

"……What did you say?"

The man in the top hat had just spoken up to question the other person after hearing him say something incomprehensible.

The next moment, a large, dark hand pierced his chest!

Thank you to "夜湘灵" for the 2500 coins, "暗暗蛋白" for the 500 coins, and "平远志远", "黎杨", and "金泰耍的果达" for the 100 coins each! Thank you very much!

By the way, please vote with your monthly tickets and recommendation votes! I think I caught a bit of a cold yesterday, but I'll try to write as much as possible today! Thank you so much everyone!
