We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 85 We are safe, temporarily

[Ship Spirit Level: LV2 (16%)!]

[Talent: Blood Power (Common) → (Rare)!]

[Added effect: Blood-Shaped Technique]

[Description: Your control over blood has improved once again!]

You can expend your mental energy to shape blood into various forms and use them.

The strength of the technique after shaping is related to the activity and concentration of secret energy in the blood itself, and is also based on the user's "mystical" attributes.

[Special attack against enemies who also wield the secret power of blood.]

Blood, ever-changing.

"As expected of an elite monster in this area, the rewards are plentiful!"

The man in black, Xia En, couldn't help but show a look of delight as he looked at the information that appeared before him.

Although this old bastard is a bit difficult to kill, the rewards are still quite generous!

In fact, if the second phase of [Communicating with the Ship's Soul] were used, killing this old gentleman would be a matter of moments.

but……

He doesn't deserve it.

The second phase, which can only be used once a day, cannot be used on such a minor character.

So in the end, Xia En had a sudden inspiration, pulled out the Blood Spear, and used the enemy's own methods against him.

Outstanding effect!

Of course, the premise for Shaen to do this was that he obtained the talent of [Blood Power] from the vampires.

It's something that ordinary people can't imitate.

"This talent seems to be much more useful than I expected..."

Xia En stroked his chin, pondering to himself.

Originally, he thought that since the projected body had no blood, this talent could only be used by the main body when it was not in a submerged state.

But now it seems...

[Blood Power] can be surprisingly effective in many situations.

Especially after acquiring the new effect of the [Blood Shape Technique], Shane's thinking became much broader.

Turn into knives, swords, shields, locks...

Perhaps when I gain a higher level of control, it's not impossible for it to conjure up a pair of blood wings.

To be honest, Shane was somewhat envious of the old gentleman's flying ability.

Even if it flies very slowly and low, it's still more elegant than his action of jumping from the spot, isn't it?
what?
You asked how to use the Projected Body when it has no blood?
Yes, he has no blood, but don't these vampires have it?

"...Let's use you as an example."

Shaun looked at the bat carcass beneath him.

It had just died, and its blood was still very fresh, containing a lot of strange and mysterious power.

Shane reached out and placed his palm on the chest of the bat corpse.

Immediately, he vaguely sensed some indistinct murmurs, like the sound of countless male and female voices overlapping each other.

A hazy, ethereal emotion lingers within, including disgust, hatred, and fear...

"Is this... the whisper of blood?"

Xia En was slightly surprised.

He suddenly realized that these voices might have come from someone who had been drained of his life by the old gentleman.

Blood, as a carrier, forever left a part of their soul and emotions within the old gentleman's body.

This could also be described as a kind of...pollution?
Perhaps for this reason, these vampires all seem to have somewhat manic, morbid, and twisted personalities.

However, these ideas are just speculation after all.

After letting his thoughts wander for a moment, Xia En began to focus on manipulating the blood remaining in the corpse.

A moment later, he raised his hand.

A sharp sword, formed from congealed blood, was pulled from his chest.

Blood Sword (Temporary)

[Type: Equipment]

[Quality: Rare]

[Description: A longsword forged from the blood of Basel Fallon, possessing considerable sharpness and sturdiness.]

[When piercing a vampire's body, there is a chance to cause the "Contamination" or "Berserk" effects.]

[By reinfusing it with spiritual energy, its form can be changed again.] [Note: If touched by a higher-level vampire, control of the weapon may be lost.]

"This can be considered precious?"

Xia En was secretly surprised.

However, after glancing at the bats beneath him that had turned into mummies, and the word "temporary" on the panel, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible.

"This is truly making the best use of resources, with nothing wasted."

"Old man, thank you."

Holding the freshly forged blood sword, Xia En smiled at the dried corpse.

Then, his gaze swept over the nearby houses.

He could sense several auras, different from those of the vampires, hiding there.

They are clearly treasure hunters from outside the area.

But after thinking it over, Xia En decided not to make contact with them.

Not to mention that Xia En didn't know how to leave the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].

On the other hand, by causing such a commotion, he himself has become the target of the vampires' attack. If these people follow him, they will probably die even faster!

With that thought, Xia En stopped moving and quickly transformed into a black shadow, leaving the place.

……

……

Watching the dark figure disappear into the distance under the blood moon.

The survivors around were still somewhat dazed.

That terrifying monster was still killed by the man in black...

Just how strong is he?
Tonight, that black figure is destined to leave an indelible impression on many people's hearts.

At the same time, in a dilapidated house.

Randy felt a surge of pleasure as he watched the old gentleman, who had transformed into a monster, being shot down, followed by the joy of surviving a close call.

But soon, an even greater sense of confusion and despair welled up in my heart.

Even after escaping the old gentleman's clutches, he was still trapped in the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].

Moreover, it is obvious that there are even more terrifying natives than the old gentleman, hunting these outsiders in the city.

Randy thought pessimistically.

"Where should I run to next?"

"Anyway, we won't be able to escape in the end..."

In fact, he wasn't the only one; some of the other survivors in the vicinity shared similar thoughts.

Some people even let out low sobs.

Despair and pessimism enveloped the hearts of each of them.

laugh……

Just then, with a hiss of steam depressurization, the wooden door behind Randy was pushed open.

He was so frightened that he trembled.

But what met her was a beautiful black-haired "girl".

Her right arm and left hand were replaced by mechanical prosthetics.

This "girl" is none other than Fei Ya, who has entered the [Blood Moon Secret Realm].

"Take this, shut up, and come with me."

Fei Ya spoke very quickly, while casually tossing Randy a palm-sized spherical steam device.

"With this, they won't be able to sense your presence. If you lose it, I'll kill you."

Randy's expression was still somewhat bewildered.

But at that moment, Fei Ya had already turned around and walked out the door.

Seeing this, Randy had no choice but to quickly follow.

Soon, Fei Ya gathered all the survivors in the vicinity and led them through several hidden paths, winding their way to an abandoned old house.

Pushing open the door, one is surprised to find a considerable number of survivors inside.

These people looked at Feiya with eyes that were either filled with admiration or gratitude.

After closing the door, Fei Ya wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're safe, for now."
