Please be my partner.

A chair appeared opposite the Collector. He gestured to Mellen and then waited quietly.

After Melen sat down, he said, "Mr. Collector, I would like to purchase from you some knowledge related to the Spirit World Messenger. What is the price?"

The collector smiled and said, "So that's what it is. Knowledge about the spirit world is quite valuable in this world. Are you sure you need it?"

Although he vaguely heard some inexplicable meaning from the collector's words, Mellen didn't think much about it at this time and nodded and said, "Yes."

The collector nodded slightly and said, "If you want to exchange this knowledge, I don't accept gold coins here. You can only exchange it with high-value extraordinary items, such as the beast-taming bracelet on your hand. You need at least two items of this level."

Mellen frowned. The value of the [Azure Ring] was self-evident, especially its role in him was simply irreplaceable.

He did have two otherworldly items of similar value, one was the [Final Trajectory], and the other was the [Filthy Eyeball], a supernatural material he had just obtained.

[Ring of Azure] and [Final Track] are very important to him, so it is impossible to exchange them. [Filthy Eyeball] is not a big deal, but just this one is not enough.

As for haggling?

Stop joking. This is not like buying vegetables at the market. You can't save a lot of money by talking a little.

Mellen sighed and said, "Mr. Collector, I can't produce two high-value extraordinary items. Is there no other way?"

The Collector thought for a moment and said, "There are other ways. As long as you promise me one thing, I can tell you the knowledge of the spirit world messengers, including some information about the spirit world, the rituals for attracting spirit beings, and the ceremony for signing a contract with them."

Mellen felt a little wary, but said calmly, "Please speak!"

The Collector said, "I want to recruit some strong people to accompany me to explore a spiritual area. Are you interested?"

Melen immediately gave up the idea of getting knowledge about the spirit messenger from the collector.

The spiritual world is extremely vast, and the twists and turns there are far beyond the real world. There are countless strange lives. Even if a third-level strongman enters it, there is no guarantee that he can return safely. With Mellen's stability, it is absolutely impossible for him to enter the spiritual world and take risks without complete confidence.

Mellen did not refuse directly, but said tactfully: "Well, my strength is mediocre, I am afraid I can't meet the requirements of the collector."

The Collector smiled and said, "If a Beastmaster who can defeat a Second Infusion Corruptor with just one Beastmaster is considered mediocre, then I'm afraid there won't be many decent Transcendents in the entire Kro Kingdom."

Melen remained unmoved by the collector's statement revealing his identity.

The collector said regretfully, "That's such a pity."

After saying that, he waved his hand again and they returned to the party hall.

Although it is a pity that I failed to obtain the knowledge I wanted, this is the reality and not everything can go as I wish.

Besides, the knowledge about the spiritual messenger is not unique. As long as he looks for it carefully, he will eventually find it.

After calming down, Mellen continued the party, but until the end, he didn't find any items he liked.

After the party, Mellen and Richman left through a seedy alley.

Before leaving, Mellen looked back at the disappearing 'door' before turning and leaving.

As time passed, Mellen's daily life became comfortable again, which was actually what he really wanted.

However, although he was at peace, the entire Kingdom of Crow, for some unknown reason, began to experience continuous turmoil...

8 month 10 day.

News came from Kandi City that a few days ago a cult launched a sacrifice, intending to use the entire Kandi City as a sacrifice to summon evil spirits.

The role played by the famous demon hunter family Abraham this time is not very glorious. It is said that many family members have joined the cult and provided convenience for it.

It was precisely because of this that the cult's plan almost succeeded.

Fortunately, in the end, members of Abraham's family and official personnel cooperated to thwart the cult's sacrifice plan and save the city of Candi.

Having said that, the entire city of Candy suffered heavy casualties due to this incident, which was even worse than the previous riot in Vero City.

The conspiracies and betrayals, steadfastness and loyalty that arose from various events during this period are beyond the comprehension of outsiders.

From the more detailed intelligence he bought from the Windtalkers Association, Melen learned that the person who actually solved the incident was a young man from the Abraham family branch.

According to unreliable sources, this young man was originally unremarkable, his strength was not outstanding, and the demon hunting contract he signed was with a demon with very low potential.

After experiencing this incident, the Abraham family discovered that the monster with extremely low potential might be a very rare and precious mutant with extremely terrifying alienation abilities.

August 8th, another full moon night.

Mellen still chose an unmanned warehouse to deal with the trajectory settlement of [Final Trajectory].

In this cycle, he used a total of three bullets, so it was still the first gear.

This time, the one in six probability still didn't win, which made him feel good.

8 month 17 day.

The city of Xigamali was attacked by powerful supernatural beings, and the entire city, including all the supernatural beings, fell into a deep sleep.

A day later, all the dreamers woke up one after another, feeling exhausted, as if a large amount of mental energy had been drained away without them realizing it.

Some people with weak constitutions could not survive and died in their sleep.

8 month 20 day.

Two mysterious supernatural organizations fought near the city of Valen.

At the beginning they were relatively restrained, but as the intensity of the battle gradually increased, the city of Valen was also affected. In the end, it took the intervention of official strongmen to barely intimidate the two groups.

December 8th...

December 8th...

December 8th...

As if they had made an appointment in advance, many evil organizations and cult forces launched major actions one after another, causing the entire Kro Kingdom to fall into a state of panic.

Melen put down the information in his hand and frowned.

In a short period of time, the entire Kro Kingdom felt as if it was in turmoil.

To say that this is a coincidence is probably unlikely. Melen feels that something must have happened to lead to the current series of situations.

but……

After thinking for a while without any results, Mellen shook his head in silence. These had nothing to do with him, a second-level newbie.

The 'Swallowing Swamp' forces that were originally rooted in Vero City have been completely eliminated, and thanks to the official crackdown during this period, the wild extraordinary people have gradually become restrained.

Moreover, Mellen was about to set off for Roland City, which was the capital of the Kingdom of Crow and the most powerful place in the kingdom. In addition, with the protection of the academy, his safety could be guaranteed.

So he had nothing to worry about.

However, until then...

In the reserve police officer training ground, Mellen quietly looked at the blood-red light ball in front of him.

This is Xiao Honglian, whose strength has reached the critical point and is completing the second-level promotion.

From Mellen's perception, the little guy's breathing has been quite stable, so he has nothing to worry about.

A few hours later, the blood-colored light ball expanded and shrank slightly, then silently exploded into a ball of blood mist, revealing a small red lotus with a greatly increased aura.

Having successfully completed the promotion, the little guy was obviously very happy. His body size had not changed much, still about half a meter, but the hair on his body had become more translucent, as if it could emit light.

The first thing the little guy did after his promotion was to look around. When he saw Mellen, he barked with joy and pounced over like a ray of red light, directly into Mellen's arms.

Gently stroking Xiao Honglian's head, the little guy squinted his eyes comfortably, rubbing against each other in Mellen's arms and acting coquettishly.

Melen opened the little guy's attributes, and suddenly, his brows frowned slightly.

Chapter 106: Rebellion in the Endless Sea of Blood

After a moment, Mellen wondered to himself, "How could this happen?"

At this moment, in his eyes, there was no other change on Xiao Honglian's panel except that the racial strength changed to the second level.

Among the racial skills, in addition to [Blood Devouring] and [Blood Control], the third skill is still [???].

At the beginning, the third racial skill could not be activated, and Melen thought it was because Xiao Honglian was not strong enough.

Now that it has been upgraded to the second level, it is still the same. It is impossible that it needs to be upgraded to the third level before it can be activated, right?

The [Fighting Dog], also led by Deep Blue, does not have this restriction.

Melen patted the little guy's head and raised this question.

"Woof!~"

The little guy seemed confused as well. After carefully sensing for a moment, he gave a vague answer...

To activate this third skill, strength is not important. What is important is to meet certain specific conditions. However, Xiao Honglian cannot explain what the specific conditions are.

Mellen shook his head helplessly. Since the conditions were unknown, he naturally couldn't think of any solution.

Next comes the most important bloodline exploration.

Mellen asked, "Are you ready?"

The little guy nodded confidently. He was well prepared for this promotion, so after the promotion was completed, he was in perfect posture and no other adjustments were needed.

Mellen glanced at the remaining spiritual energy, which was still at 280 points. Spike had consumed nearly a hundred points in the past month, but he had also made some gains, which replenished a lot.

He stroked the little guy and without hesitation, directly activated the bloodline exploration ability of the wolf-shaped pendant.

Focusing his attention on the evolutionary direction of Little Red Lotus, his spiritual energy suddenly began to dissipate rapidly.

Mellen and Xiao Honglian's consciousness were entangled together, and they began to sink rapidly at a strange perspective, basically the same as the last time they explored Spike's bloodline.

Countless lines intertwine and entwine, and countless colors flicker and mix.

I don’t know if it’s because of Mellen’s improved mental strength, or because Xiao Honglian and Spike are fundamentally different, but his interpretation of those broken images feels noticeably clearer and deeper.

Unlike Spike, almost all of Xiao Honglian's bloodline images reveal a blood-colored glow.

Moreover, this blood-red glow was extremely ominous. It was not the kind of peaceful and natural integration, but more like a forced invasion and plunder, with a strong sense of malice.

Melen's thoughts gradually condensed into a pure and firm idea... freedom!

This is what he hopes for, the only requirement that the little guy needs to achieve after evolving!

Looking back on Xiao Honglian's short life, she has lived in a cage since birth. Even when she came to Mellen, a cage and a collar were necessary items.

When Melen got the [Azure Ring], the little guy's living conditions improved, but it was just a change from a small cage to a slightly larger cage.

Even so, the little guy was very excited.

The curse of the [Enemy of the World] and the followers of the great existence are like layer upon layer of shackles, put on Xiao Honglian. The little guy can only passively endure it silently. Once it is detonated, there will be no escape.

Therefore, Melen hopes that Xiao Honglian can take advantage of this opportunity of evolution to break free from the shackles and gain freedom!

Only if this condition is met first will he add other options.

As this thought entered Xiao Honglian's blood, countless wandering images suddenly stopped and then dispersed.

Melen looked at the empty blood space, feeling helpless.

He had anticipated the scene before him, but when it actually happened, he still frowned.

His thoughts just stopped quietly, lost in thought.

Little Honglian came closer consciously, making a 'woooo' sound, as if trying to comfort her master.

Mellen nodded slightly at the little guy. He was not discouraged. He glanced at the remaining spiritual energy. There were still 270 points. In a short period of time, he consumed about 10 points.

The rule of bloodline exploration is that as the exploration deepens, the spiritual energy consumed will gradually increase.

Of course, more consumption also means that more and deeper bloodlines can be unearthed.

So, it’s too early to say it’s over.

As time went on, the consumption of spiritual energy began to accelerate step by step...

10 points!

20 points!

30 points!

……

Even though Mellen was mentally prepared for this large-scale spiritual consumption, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He is not afraid of consumption, he is afraid that after consuming it to the end, he will still get nothing!

This kind of blind, bottomless consumption can be said to be a torture at every point.

Close your eyes slightly, wait for a moment, and then slowly open them.
