Please be my partner.

At this moment, the hesitation in Mellen's eyes had disappeared.

Feeling her master's determination, Xiao Honglian also calmed down.

As time passed, there was a sudden and inexplicable shaking in the blood exploration space.

This unexpected change immediately caught Mellen's attention. Gradually, the shaking became more and more violent. Faintly, in the deep darkness below, it seemed that an inexplicable object wanted to break free.

"Roar!~"

This is a roar that echoes in the soul, representing struggle and resistance, as well as the ultimate deep evil!

A dark red picture suddenly jumped out of the darkness as if breaking free from shackles.

Along with it came the blood-red glow that had previously enveloped the bloodline image. They seemed extremely angry, as if they had consciousness, and were "attacking" the dark red image, absolutely not allowing it to exist.

The dark red picture was already in tatters, and under the erosion of the blood-red light, it became even more dilapidated.

Melen's eyes lit up, and his strong instinct told him that this was the bloodline he was looking for!

Seeing that the dark red image was about to completely collapse and disappear, Mellen's spirit rushed directly over.

The moment he came into contact with the dark red screen, he paused slightly. The repair cost of 160 points of spiritual energy really surprised him, but he did not hesitate and immediately invested enough spiritual energy into it.

"Buzz!"

The dark red screen suddenly brightened, completely excluding the blood-red light. It was as if time was flowing backwards, and the missing parts began to reappear bit by bit.

What surprised Melen was that when the 160 points of spiritual energy were exhausted, the dark red picture was still mostly broken and did not look like it had been repaired.

At this moment, the aura of the dark red image suddenly changed, and the blood-red light that had been surrounding it with a fierce gaze quickly retreated as if it was suddenly frightened.

But, it's too late!

The dark red image actually extended invisible and intangible tentacles, forcibly dragging the bloody light back, as if gnawing on some delicious food, and feasting on it.

After devouring all of this, it was still not satisfied. Its invisible and intangible tentacles spread rapidly, soon covering the entire blood exploration space.

Those previously hidden images emerged one by one, and the tentacles swept over them, directly plundering the essence of these blood images and the blood-colored light on them to replenish themselves.

Melen just stared in amazement at the domineering, evil and brutal dark red blood scene wreaking havoc.

Until the entire bloodline space is devoured and it becomes the only one!

When the dark red blood image calmed down, Melen pondered for a moment and then probed his mind over there.

"Boom!~"

Countless information exploded in Mellen's mind...

Everything in the world has its positive and negative sides.

After the messenger of justice falls, he will also become the most evil demon king.

Even in the abyss of extreme filth, there are legends of succubus paladins.

The great and endless sea of blood breeds countless lives, but among these lives, there are also "rebellious" beings.

[Blood-septic Demon]: Born in the Endless Sea of Blood, it greedily absorbs the power of the Endless Sea of Blood, but goes against the will of the Endless Sea of Blood. It is the enemy of all life in the blood sea, and even the original sin of the Endless Sea of Blood. The moment it is born, it will suffer eternal pursuit from the Endless Sea of Blood!

Because it has the possibility of overturning the endless sea of blood, even if this possibility is only a tiny one!

Evolution conditions: 950 points of spiritual energy and one portion of the origin of the sea of blood.

Evolution Chain: → [Blood Septic (Dark Purple Lord)] → [Blood Hound (Dark Orange King)] → [Blood Hell Hound (???)]

It took a long time for Melen to come back to his senses from the shock. He never expected that this bloodline exploration would have such a result.

Now, Xiao Honglian's evolutionary path has been locked by the evolutionary chain of [Blood Septic Demon], and there is no possibility of evolving into other forms. However, this may be the only way to escape from the endless sea of blood.

According to the information obtained from the bloodline of the [Blood-Septic Demon], the Endless Sea of Blood is an unimaginably great existence. Fighting against it seems to be a road of no return with no chance of winning at all.

But soon, Melen calmed down from this shocking information. He gently touched the wolf-shaped pendant and had more speculations about it.

Although Xiao Honglian looks like a red Labrador, it is not actually one. The little guy's real race is a [Blood Demon], a follower of the Blood Sea that has not been fully transformed.

In the bloodline exploration, [Septic Demon] is indeed a rebel against the endless sea of blood, but originally, the evolved form above [Septic Demon] should not be [Blood Demon Dog] and [Blood Hell Demon Dog]. These two forms are actually the wolf-shaped pendant that twisted the [Septic Demon] with its own power.

The most fundamental difference is that [Blood Septic Demon] is not a dog, while [Blood Demon Dog] and [Blood Hell Demon Dog] are dogs!

If the Endless Sea of Blood is compared to a god, then the wolf-shaped pendant that can distort the power of a god...

Retracting his thoughts, Melen fixed his gaze on the [Blood Demon Dog], and the hint he received made him feel quite helpless.

Currently, both the [Blood Demon Dog] and the [Blood Hell Demon Dog] are only basic frameworks. They need to evolve to the previous level and be filled with massive spiritual energy before they can be perfected.

But on the bright side, this seems to save the effort of exploring bloodlines in the future, which is not bad.

After trying to find some joy in the midst of hardship, Melen once again focused his attention on the introduction of the [Blood Septic Demon]. Needless to say, the lord was a racial level higher than the commander, but the evolutionary conditions made him a little confused.

Although 950 points of spiritual energy is exaggerated, at least there is still hope.

What the hell is "a portion of the origin of the sea of blood"?!

Just hearing the name of this evolutionary material made Melen feel like he was going to snatch food from a dragon's mouth, and his scalp went numb.

Just as Mellen was lost in thought, Xiao Honglian woke up slowly. He hurriedly asked, "How is it? Do you feel anything is wrong?"

After all, the [Blood-Septic Demon] devoured all the blood in the blood exploration space, and he didn't know whether this would have any impact on the little guy.

The little guy felt himself and said that there was nothing wrong, then hesitantly said that there seemed to be something very far away in a certain direction that was attracting him, causing him to feel an extremely longing emotion deep in his heart.

Melen was stunned. The direction the little guy pointed was northwest.

After thinking for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up...

Farsail Harbor! Ghost Ship! The Golden Rowling!

Little Honglian was cursed in that incident, and it was because of that incident that the entire Golden Rowling became a ghost ship.

The little red lotus that has completed the integration of its bloodline can be said to be a [Blood Demon] on the surface, but a potential [Blood Septic Demon] in secret. The [Blood Septic Demon] has the ability to sense the origin of the sea of blood, and they use this as nourishment.

Combining all these factors, it is not difficult to infer that the Golden Rowling may have been contaminated by the origin of the sea of blood, which is why it has become what it is now.

In this way, the materials for Xiao Honglian's evolution have been found.

However, Mellen quickly calmed down.

Evolving [Blood Septic Demon] not only requires a huge amount of spiritual energy, but the stronger the strength, the better. Moreover, the place where the origin of the sea of blood was lost is not a good place, so Melen plans to wait until Xiao Honglian reaches the limit of the third level before considering this matter.

Anyway, the little guy can sense the location of the origin of the sea of blood. Even if someone gets there first, it doesn't matter. He can just think of it as someone helping him to avoid danger.

What if the other party refuses to give it to him when he goes to ask for it later?

Mellen wants to be a good person, but he is not pedantic. When it comes to his own life, he naturally won't mind using extraordinary means if the time comes.

After figuring all this out, Mellen felt relieved. Finally, Xiao Honglian's problem had been solved once and for all.

Next, all you need to do is focus on improving your strength and accumulating spiritual energy!

At the same time, plans to train more dogs should be put on the agenda.

School was about to start, and he was also preparing to leave for Roland City. He could ask Uncle Ganuo for help then. He believed that with the latter's power, finding some special kinds of dogs should not be a difficult task.

8 month 26 day.

Mellen, carrying a small package, boarded the steam train to Roland City under the watchful eyes of Butler Morgan and two maids.

In fact, it is a bit late to set off today. If he had set off a few days earlier, he could have set off with Sir Light's caravan. Considering the current level of chaos in the outside world, this would be safer.

However, Mellen refused at that time. He had been waiting for Xiao Honglian's promotion, so he had been delaying it until now.

These two ways of going to Roland City are similar for him. After all, his current strength is no longer what it used to be. Even if he really encounters any danger, he is able to protect himself.

Chapter 107 On the Road

The smooth sailing during this period made Mellen quite happy. He boarded the steam train humming a little tune.

However, the news he received next made him frown.

"Can't we reach Roland City directly?!"

The waitress who was responsible for delivering the message quickly explained softly, "Yes, sir, there are currently some problems with Fanhua Town, the only section of the road leading to Roland City. I'm afraid we can't go directly there, so we can only stop in Danmu City."

"But please rest assured, our Steam Chamber of Commerce has already prepared a comfortable carriage over there. We will take you safely to Roland City and won't delay you too much."

Mellen frowned and nodded to show that he understood.

Fanhua Town is located not far south of Roland City and is the closest town to Roland City. Due to its geographical location, this town is famous for its various flowers blooming all year round.

The Steam Chamber of Commerce was established by the Mechanical Association, mainly to monetize the tools developed by mechanical masters, such as steam locomotives, steam cars, etc.

Of course, steam locomotives cannot be built without the participation of the royal family and top nobles, and they are also the ones who benefit the most. It’s just that the Steam Chamber of Commerce is responsible for technical maintenance and specific management.

He actually didn't care much about these twists and turns. What really made him feel wrong was... Fanhua Town was not far from Roland City!

Where is Roland City?

That is the capital of the Kingdom of Crow, the center of the kingdom's economy, politics, power, and extraordinary strength.

If something happened near a place like this, it would probably immediately touch the sensitive nerves of all parties involved.

However, looking at the Steam Chamber of Commerce's current attitude, it seems that the problem is only for Fanhua Town, and even Roland City cannot solve it in a short period of time. This makes Melen have some unrealistic thoughts.

While Mellen was thinking, the other passengers who had received the news had already thrown the steam train into chaos. After all, not everyone was as easy to talk to as Mellen...

"What do you mean? Do you know how much this will delay me?"

"Sir, please calm down. We are doing this for your safety. Please..."

"I paid for your steam train ride, and ensuring my safety is your responsibility. You can't let your problems delay my business, right?!"

"gentlemen……"

Mellen withdrew his attention and stopped paying attention.

…………

Fanhua Town is known for its four-seasonal warm sunshine. It is precisely this favorable natural condition that makes it possible to often see blooming flowers here.

Because Fanhua Town is accompanied by the refreshing fragrance of flowers all year round, it also attracts many nobles and wealthy businessmen.

But that was all in the past. The Fanhua Town now seemed like a den of ghosts.

The blazing sun in the sky was blocked by an invisible shadow curtain, and the entire Fanhua Town seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

The scene inside can be vaguely seen. The buildings seem to be covered with a layer of gray dust, and all the flowers have withered. The residents are like zombies, wandering around the town in a daze. From time to time, rustling sounds can be heard from the shadowy corners, accompanied by strange, twisted and shaking shadows on the ground.

The entire Fanhua Town seemed to be divided into two worlds from the outside world.

At this time, more than ten people were standing outside Fanhua Town, their expressions were either calm or ugly.
