Origin Paradise!

"Its previous owner was Emperor Otto, who valued his own body most. After his death, his body transformed into a secret treasure. With the help of the Silkworm Life Treasure, he achieved a permanent slumber in a strange and morbid way. Therefore, many people outside believe that Silkworm Life can grant people a form of immortality, but this is a misunderstanding. The so-called awakening is just gaining the right to use the treasure."

"Now the leaders of the King's Shield, the Ant Knight and the Lion Knight, have arrived at the Library battlefield. The Falcon Sword and the Insect Sword of the Reverse Tree Sword are going head-to-head with them. They both have the power to crush elite knights and are surrounded by many followers."

"You alone are not qualified to participate in the final competition, and neither am I. At least the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and we don't have any deep-seated hatred. There's no need to rush things."

Meanwhile, Wuhe provided intelligence through its exclusive channels.

On the King's Shield side, the Ant Knight occupies the "white" in monochrome, possessing unparalleled strength among knights. When using extraordinary abilities, he can easily lift objects a hundred times his own weight, wrestle with tanks, and withstand alchemical bullets with his bare body without any problem.

The Lion Knights are of pure Platinum bloodline and possess the ability to command a pride of lions. Each of the thirty-eight "lions" is a skilled knight, making them the equivalent of the Wolf Shadows in the royal guards.

The Falcon Sword is the fastest, capable of moving 108.05 meters per second in a short-term extreme state. Without the protection of extraordinary power, an ordinary person would die instantly if they could withstand this speed.

As for the Insect Sword, its puppet army has already exceeded ten thousand.

Jiang He put away his spear. The high-ranking officers of the British and Prussian armies were all monsters. The two sides were fighting for the secret treasure, Emperor Otto. It was quite difficult for him to carry out the side mission. The mission required him to eliminate Otto, which meant that he could not get along with either side.

The Grey Knight secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't want to cause any trouble here. Fortunately, the other party was like him, with no sense of belonging to any faction.

The porcupine walked into the dilapidated house and said, "Tommy has found the location of the gunpowder depot, but it's a bit far from the training camp. If we detonate it directly, the kill radius might not be enough. The enemy didn't leave any major oversights in their spatial arrangement."

The Grey Knight pulled out a dozen bundles of thin iron wire and four color-changing suits. The former were prepared before departure, while the latter were spoils from the encounter at the train station.

The porcupine's eyes widened. What kind of magic trick was this?

“Generally speaking, these large camps are usually guarded by knights with sensory abilities, most likely snakes. My plan is to split into two groups. One group will wear color-changing suits to steal cannonballs and gunpowder, while the other group will take care of the guarding knights. After we meet up, we'll set up the camp, wrap it with wire, and I'll detonate it. After the explosion, we'll use the chaos to replace the new recruits. These guys will soon become line-fillers, which will be perfect for returning to the Lyden battlefield,” the Gray Knight said.

Jiang He shook his head. "The detonation process is too precise. There are tens of thousands of new recruits in the training camp. The probability of an accident during the process is too high. It would be better to have their superiors give the order for everyone to move the shells and detonate them when they gather in front of the gunpowder depot. It's simple and convenient."

"I remember you acted with the Black Knight before," the Gray Knight said cryptically. The ability to distort thoughts was extremely rare, and he only knew of the Black Knight. No one could help but be wary of such a freak.

Jiang He turned and left the wooden house. Si Ning's current location is unknown; he only knows that she is in the snow mountain and will not be able to return in a short time. Whether the Abyss Logic Disease can be activated from a distance is unknown, but he can try to transform the training camp commander into a blood servant.

……

Night falls.

Porcupine and Tommy head to the gunpowder depot together, where they are responsible for connecting a dozen bundles of wire and cannonballs, while Grey Knight Rayman goes to hunt down the vigilant knights in the training camp.

Jiang He left the hill, and Wu He, controlling a small crow, perched on his shoulder to report the intelligence he had just gathered.

"This training camp is the headquarters of the Prussian 16th Army's Line Filling Division. The new recruits here are about to be sent to die on the Eastern Front of Leden. The Grey Knights have chosen a very suitable target."

"The current acting commander of the Line Filling Division is Lieutenant Colonel Mia Hornkamann, the Kangaroo Knight. She has been active on the front lines since the start of the war two years ago. She returned to Berlin for six months of further study and then disappeared from public view. It is worth mentioning that after the outbreak of the Battle of the Somme, she voluntarily withdrew from her original army group and led the Line Filling troops in battle many times. She converted all her merits into military ranks and rose very quickly."

"As for the location of the command post, it is located on a farm to the east of the camp, where a guard company is stationed."

After Wuhe finished his objective report, he added his own opinion: "She has some problems. Her resume from studying in Berlin is that of a direct descendant. She went to the muddy ground of the line-filling division and struggled for a long time. Her rank rose very quickly in a short period of time, but she has basically said goodbye to being a general officer. After all, the line-filling division can't achieve any combat merits and is more dangerous."

"Let's arrest her and interrogate her."

Jiang He walked slowly on the dirt road outside the camp, wearing a large cloak, which was the Wolf Shadow Knight's color-changing suit. This standard equipment has the ability to adapt to the color of the surrounding environment. The disadvantage is that the color change takes time, so in order to maintain the effect, one has to pay the price of slow movement. Moreover, once the skin leaves its original owner, even if it has been processed by alchemy, it still has a limited lifespan.

"By the way, your package has arrived," Wuhe said.

In the night sky, an eagle swooped down, its talons gripping a leather-like water bag. This treasure had been stored underground at the Lyden Bank, and British intelligence personnel had spared no expense to bring it back from the heart of Prussia.

Jiang He raised his hand and steadily caught the animal skin water bag.

[Name: Camel Hump Bag]

[Category: Storage]

[Quality: Rare]

[Effect: The interior can hold the liquid of ten standard swimming pools (already full)]

[Note: Lacking any other specialized tools, the camel rider died in the vast desert, clutching tightly the empty water bag he had once scorned.]

Jiang He pondered for a moment and understood the intelligence personnel's idea. The weakness of the insect sword puppets was their fear of water, just like how mantises parasitized by horsehair worms in nature would die if they jumped into the water. This thing was the key to destroying the insect puppet army.

Chapter 81 The First Blood Servant

The night is like water.

The barn on the second floor of the farm was lit with orange lights. There were makeshift positions made of sandbags at the four corners, with Prussian light machine guns mounted on them. Four squads of soldiers were responsible for guarding the area. Two sentries stood at the door with rifles on their shoulders, the cigarettes in their mouths flickering.

Jiang He approached from the side, moving slower and slower. The color-changing clothing he wore kept adjusting its color according to the environment. If it were daytime, he could be spotted just by moving.

Strictly speaking, the color-changing suit is not omnipotent. The thermal imaging eyes of snake riders, the echolocation of whale riders, and even some riders with keen senses of smell and hearing can detect the traces of stealth.

However, it cannot be denied that under normal circumstances, this type of uniform has great advantages.

Jiang He climbed through the window into the barn. Prussian soldiers were gathered in the corner, smoking and playing cards. Withered ears of grain were scattered on the ground, and pigs and sheep were kept in the pens on the left and right.

At the end of the barn, a U-shaped staircase leads to the second floor. The wooden steps are old, and occasionally a mouse runs by. It seems that a slight breeze could make a creaking sound.

A small raven flew in through the window, landed on the table where the soldiers were playing cards, and picked up a still-burning cigarette butt from a tin can.

The soldiers were immediately drawn to the task.

Ignoring the card game, one of the sergeants said in a low voice:

"Grab it, have an extra meal."

The soldier opposite nodded excitedly, paused for a moment, and then suddenly lunged forward. The small crow was startled and took flight, its cigarette butt falling into the haystack beside the table.

"Useless trash, stomp it out right now!" the sergeant shouted, slightly annoyed.

Several soldiers hurriedly got up and stomped on the haystack.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang He stepped onto the wooden stairs, the creaking sound being masked. He arrived on the second floor, which was much brighter than the dim lighting on the first floor. Behind the wooden table at the far end, a young woman dressed as an officer was humming a tune with her head down, the nib of her pen scratching on the documents. There was also a dressing table and a bathtub on either side.

Jiang He seemed to enter a slow-motion state, his breathing becoming extremely long as he activated his technique for concealing his killing intent.

After a dozen or so steps, the young woman looked up in confusion, her gaze sweeping around the room.

Jiang He stopped abruptly.

It wasn't the smell; the farm had pigs and sheep kept in enclosures, and dozens of soldiers were on duty. The blood and smoke of the battlefield were not worth noting.

It's not visual either. As the most direct feedback, if you discover something is wrong visually, the first reaction of the other person after they look up will not be confusion, but vigilance. This is a basic quality of a knight. Besides, if it were a visual problem, the other person would have no reason to look up.

Jiang He pondered, his heartbeat at around 20 decibels, close to the ordinary sense of "dead silence." Ordinary people couldn't hear it from more than ten meters away, but Lao Hei could. If one wanted to hear the heartbeats of those around them, even a knight would need to have corresponding extraordinary abilities or exceptional mental qualities. But the Kangaroo Knight should not be in this category at all.

A gentle night breeze blew. Mia looked at the open window on the side wall, twisted her neck from side to side, stretched gracefully, took a sip of tea, and then got up and walked straight to the window.

The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer.

"I see. Is there a problem with the identity of the Kangaroo Knight? I relied too much on the information from the rabble."

Jiang He couldn't help but reflect on himself. Wu He's intelligence came from bird reconnaissance, and on a deeper level, mainly from records, conversations, and interpersonal relationships. These things wrapped people up like a spider web, allowing intelligence to be extracted from them. But if the spider web is empty, then the conclusions will also be inaccurate.

His normal active skill, Eye of the Beast, has been released. This skill grants vision of a designated animal within a radius of one kilometer. Humans are also animals, belonging to the family Hominidae in the order Primates.

Mia's gaze seemed to be fixed on the window, but she was actually keeping an eye on the intruder's location out of the corner of her eye.

The two sides were only a few steps apart.

Just as Mia tensed up, preparing to make her move, Jiang He had already summoned his spear.

The crimson and cyan light spread across it at top speed. The arm was stretched out, and the spear was thrust to its limit. Garuda Mode - Energy Separation - burst out with a scarlet stream of light.

Pure energy pierced through Mia's abdomen, causing her to freeze momentarily. Jiang He seized the opportunity to step forward and pierced through her upper abdomen, lifting her into the air.

Mia opened her mouth to scream, but a blood-red wing slashed out, its tip like a knife, destroying her throat.

Jiang He released his grip, advanced again, and landed a straight punch on the target's forehead, unleashing 30% of his internal strength.

A violent dizziness struck, and Mia was terrified. The enemy wasn't after her, but rather intended to capture her. She forced herself to stay alert and unleashed her rare-level skill, Devout Blessing. A hazy glow enveloped her body, slightly alleviating the corrosion at the wounds on her abdomen and throat. A cool sensation washed over her mind, and her second rare-level skill, Holy Light Strike, followed immediately.

Jiang Heka had already delivered a full-force punch between the two skills.

Mia, who had just unleashed her Holy Light Strike, fell backward, her neck fractured, and she lost consciousness completely.

A magnificent magic circle spread out from above the caster's head, and the skill was successfully released despite the caster being stunned.

As the light descended, Jiang He activated Garuda Mode - Local Enhancement, covering his head. The two energies roared and clashed against each other, and the light, whose source was exhausted, was the first to run out, causing the magic circle to collapse.

"She's actually a player, and a priest at that," Wuhe exclaimed. "The outside world thinks she's a kangaroo knight, which must be related to the item pouch."

"Keep an eye on things down there," Jiang He said.

“Understood. She’s a female officer; it’s unlikely that soldiers would come up here without permission,” Wuhe replied.

Jiang He grabbed her prey by the hair and pulled her into the bathtub.

Mia's fractured neck was constantly reducing her life points, and even with her outstanding physical condition, she was getting closer and closer to death.

Jiang He took out the camel hump bag and slowly added water to the bathtub until it was half full, covering the other person's exquisite body. Then he used the bayonet to cut her slender wrist.

The blood was exposed at an alarming speed.

Mia's heartbeat and breathing gradually stopped due to massive blood loss.

Jiang He cut her finger, and the blood, with its powerful corrosive properties, dripped from her fingertip, seeping into the blood-red pool of water and diluting it. As if roasted by a raging fire, the water instantly boiled.

Following the ritual knowledge he gained from becoming a Bloodbat Knight, he dipped himself in diluted blood and carved intricate patterns on his prey's forehead, chest, and lower abdomen, making them resemble three bats with outstretched wings before slowly disappearing.

The pool of blood flowed back from Mia's wrist, and her heartbeat and breathing gradually returned.

Compared to transforming ordinary people, Mia, whose life level was higher, took much longer, a full hour and a half, even after losing all her ability to resist.

Jiang He clearly felt that he had gained a servant, like a thin thread wrapped around his finger, with a puppet connected to the other end. If he wanted, he could completely corrode the servant's body with his blood, and he could also see part of the other player's panel.

[Blood Servant Mia]

[Elite Humans of the Bronze Age]

[Player Level: LV8]

[Game Coins: 1200]

[Strength: 7] (Professional weightlifter)

[Agility: 7] (Professional Track and Field Athlete)

[Constitution: 8] (Peak Boxing)

[Spirit: 6] (Exceptional perception)

[Charm: 7] (One in a million)

[Note: This player is in a Blood Servant state.]

[This player has acquired Basic Self-Healing (Incomplete)]

[This player obtained Fangs and Claws (Normal)]

[This player has acquired the skill "Scratch (Normal)"]

Jiang He browsed the panel of his first Blood Servant. If the other party did not have the identity and accumulation of a player, its combat power level was roughly equivalent to an elite Green Soldier, and even in a life-and-death battle, the outcome was uncertain. However, this guy had three rare-level skills, and they complemented each other, so its potential was not small. They were Devout Blessing, Holy Light Strike, and Blessing Aura.

The Aura of Blessing is a semi-passive skill. People within 20 meters of the caster can gain an energy recovery speed boost, recovering 5 extra energy points per minute, which lasts for 3 hours at a time. The downside is that it cannot distinguish between friend and foe when not in combat, and the caster needs to manually turn off the target option. Mia took advantage of this and used this skill as a warning aura.

Chapter 82 Heading to the Powder Depot

The dead of night.

In the bathtub on the second floor of the farm barn, Mia woke up from her unconsciousness. The corrosion caused by the flow of blood in her body brought waves of soreness. She opened her eyes, her memory still stuck on the rapidly enlarging shadow of the fist in her vision. The thin film-like disguise on her face was removed, revealing her original soft lines.

"Name."

A cold voice rang out, and Mia could not detect any warmth in it. She felt extremely regretful. If she had been able to approach the window earlier, she could have jumped out and called for the guards. But the enemy was not the Berlin Palace Wolf Shadow Knight she had expected. Their speed and range of attack were greater than that of the Resilient Blade.

Seeing that the other party had adopted a non-violent non-cooperation approach, Jiang He snapped his fingers. Through self-hypnosis, this had become the switch to activate some of his abilities. Because it had become a bodily instinct, the speed was much faster than activating the skill from beginning to end.

In a fleeting instant, her blood boiled, and Mia felt as if molten iron was flowing through her body. Her serene face contorted into a grotesque grimace.

She was about to scream.

A small raven flew by and accurately dropped the white liquid, stopping the Blood Servant's Punishment.

Mia looked bewildered, smacked her lips, and when she realized it was bird droppings, her face turned ashen. She immediately began to dry heave as if frozen, which caused intermittent convulsions.

"Name?" Jiang He asked.

Mia was much more obedient this time, and whispered, "Mia."

Jiang He nodded and snapped her fingers again.

Her blood boiled again, Mia's eyes widened, and the excruciating pain made the veins on her forehead bulge. Not wanting to taste bird droppings again, she tried her best to scream in a low voice.

"That's really my name! My surname is Mi!"
