Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 75 Blood Pond

"This thing... has such a strong vitality!"

"Your luck is so good?"

Everyone's expressions changed instantly, with envy and even jealousy in their eyes.

Oren thought about it and took out a scarlet object that looked like a living person's heart. It was the zombie heart he had discovered.

“The quality of this thing should be much worse than your life energy crystal.

But if you're willing to trade, I can not only make up the difference according to the market price, but also give you some witchcraft materials!"

Baru said with a smile, "I'll trade them with you, okay?"

As he spoke, he pointed to a pair of twin followers beside him.

"These are half-elves, rare in this land. They are twin sisters and possess the Rogue specialty."

From the tone of his voice, it turned out that he was not an ordinary follower, but a slave who had signed a slave contract.

Before Roy could say anything, Melina was already dissatisfied: "What use are these two half-elf wanderers? Roy, take a look at my stuff first!"

While speaking, he took out a movement.

This is a cylindrical puppet core, with a metal shell protecting a columnar hexagonal crystal.

It emits a dark red witchcraft energy radiation, with a hint of artificially created magic source.

Roy's heart moved slightly when he saw this.

Because he felt a faint tingling sensation between his eyebrows.

"I'll take a look first and then talk."

He quickly took the opportunity to check it and took it in his hand, looking at it carefully.

Immediately, an illusory panel appeared.

[Alchemy Talent Acquisition (0% → 100%)]

[Craftsmanship (Black Iron Level)]

[When performing apprentice-level craftsman operations, you will receive a proficiency boost equivalent to that of an entry-level craftsman.]

I actually got a new talent!

Roy was secretly delighted, and after a quick assessment, he immediately came to a conclusion.

The talent obtained this time is much more practical than the previous [Mana Return].

Forging, carving, printing and dyeing, etc. are all practical skills in the field of craftsmen, and are also similar to alchemy.

Because it is the cornerstone of many equipment and artifacts.

Combined with [Skilled Worker], [Alchemy Machine] and [Mana Return], it can be used to its full potential!
"Of these several small talents, any one or two, taken individually, might be somewhat useless.

But the combination and chain reaction will definitely lead to a qualitative transformation!

Very good, just one look at this makes it worth my while to team up with them!"

While Roy was happy, he also felt a little strange.

"But why didn't I feel anything when Oren took out the zombie heart, but Melina's puppet core did?

Could it be that the manifestation of innate essence has nothing to do with flesh and blood, but only depends on the soul?"

Rotten zombies are naturally generated by radiation pollution and have no intelligence, while mechanical guards may contain artificially modified intelligence!

Roy even wondered if the [craftsmanship] was related to the fact that it was a mechanical creation.

There may be some connection here, but it may not be that simple.

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about?

Do you want to change it or not? Just say something!"

While Roy was thinking, Melina's voice called him back from his trance.

Roy calmed down and said calmly, "Forget it, I don't really need this thing."

"Why are you looking at it for so long without changing it?"

Melina was quite dissatisfied.

But for now, we can only give up for now.

……

After a short rest, it was December 12th, the second day, and everyone set out again.

"Where should we go exploring?"

Roy thought to himself as he rode through the faded desert, gazing at the foggy, gray scenery.

In the end, he chose to go north and prepare to visit the Flesh Swamp that Baru and Sophia explored yesterday.

Perhaps because of the ghost witch body and Aquinas magic gold, he was vaguely concerned about this flesh and blood swamp.

Before I knew it, the sky ahead turned scarlet, and the fog was filled with blood.

Roy opened the simple map he had copied yesterday, roughly estimated the distance, and realized that he had reached the edge of the Flesh Swamp.

Sure enough, just as Baru and Sophia had explored separately, there was a large area of blood, flesh and mud ahead, like hell.

It was a somewhat spectacular yet terrifying sight.

Blood and flesh were everywhere in the sky and on the ground.

Sure enough, the whole earth was dyed red.

But there was no expected stench. The place was so dead silent that even flies could not survive.

“No feeling…”

Roy looked around for a while, then turned and left.

He did not step into the swamp, but instead headed east along the edge of the faded desert.

Not long after, a place like a desert oasis in front of him attracted his attention.

It was a small, half-dried pond filled with a blood-red liquid. The surface of the pond was as calm as a mirror, emitting an unsettling atmosphere that made people sincerely feel that there was something hidden inside.

"It's better to go around it."

Roy stared at the pool of blood for a while, but didn't notice anything unusual between his eyebrows, so he decided to avoid it.

However, the fog around suddenly became thicker.

The blood-red fog covered the sky, blocking his vision and even affecting his perception.

Roy had to control the horse's speed and move carefully.

After a while, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked down and was shocked.

"When did I come here?
No...that's not right!
I didn't walk towards the pond, the pond walked towards me!"

Roy looked back and saw a huge pool of blood, a large pool of blood, spreading towards him so openly.

It wanted to take advantage of the fog to devour itself and the undead warhorse silently.

The floating magic bead pulled the magnetic mechanism from the hairband and floated in the air behind the back.

White light condensed.

In just a moment, he extracted a magical power of more than 10 degrees of lightning, which was like thunder from the sky, and slammed into the center of the blood pool.

The blood pool is like an exploding pot!
The blood inside seemed to boil and roll violently.

Roy felt the rhythm of life from it. It was a familiar witchcraft energy similar to the activation spell.

Without hesitation, he took out the blackening potion from the space ring, uncorked it, threw it out, and then struck a few more thunders.

The blood pool exploded even more violently.

Its vitality was far inferior to that of the huge piece of meat it had encountered before, so it calmed down and completely "died" after a while.

"Finally solved!"

Roy looked down at the blood at his feet.

This thing, which had finally developed the instincts of a wild beast, was killed by itself.

But it seems that waste can still be recycled!
Roy thought about it, and the hair on the back of his head grew wildly, turning into a bloodthirsty python and hanging down inside.

The characteristic of Aquinas Magic Gold is to absorb useful components in the blood.

Because it involves the effects of the residue of the law, its scope of effectiveness is extremely wide, and it may even be effective against this unknown blood.

This thing might have wandered over from the Flesh Swamp, and he wanted to test it out.

As a result, not long after, the hair actually absorbed a lot of metal elements, and became visibly tougher.
