Chapter 245 Accident
It was very quiet in the cell.
Amu watched the other three werewolf brothers practicing swords meticulously, with a look of great experience on their faces.
He suddenly panicked.
He had not learned this swordsmanship at all. He had been completely confused for several days and had not made any progress.
It was not because of his bad attitude. Amu was studying hard and even asked questions humbly from his brothers. In the end, he thought it was a problem of his ability and had to give up helplessly.
He didn't know what the purpose of the human sky knight was for them to learn swordsmanship, but he felt that if they didn't learn well, they would probably die. He didn't want to die, and he didn't want to die in extreme pain like the merchant wolf, so he panicked.
"Amu, learning well is not necessarily a good thing." Seeing his appearance, a werewolf leader falsely comforted him, and the smug and fortunate expression on his face betrayed him.
Like Amu's idea, he felt that as long as he learned swordsmanship well, he would probably not be killed. Otherwise, why would the human sky knight spend so much energy on these things?
"If only it were swordsmanship, oh!"
Amu sighed sadly, threw down the knight's sword in his hand, and lay on the chair ready to be rotten.
Not long after lying there, his nose moved slightly, and he immediately stood up, holding the sword and pretending to frown and think.
The footsteps approached, and with a creak, the door was pushed open.
Amu took a sneak peek, and his heart suddenly tightened. It was not the person who delivered the food, but the human Sky Knight!
This was the third time he had seen this Sky Knight.
The first time he saw it, Shanglang and Fletcher were all pus-filled and eaten to death by insects.
The second time he saw it, the Black Wolf King Augustine was dragged in and thrown into a cage, with dense sutured wounds all over his body.
What would happen the third time, he didn't know.
In the dark and dim basement, as the torches on the wall were lit one by one by Yrit, emitting clusters of golden halos, the prison cell immediately became bright.
Lu He came to the first werewolf leader and without saying anything, he directly ordered:
"Use all your strength to perform the sword moves you learned."
The werewolf leader nodded tremblingly, holding a rapier and thrusting out with one sword.
The silver rapier immediately emitted a faint silver-white light, and the sword body became somewhat translucent like jade.
From the hilt to the tip of the sword, a strange black line like a dragon or a snake quickly extended, connecting the whole.
Swish!
The sword speed was very slow, but the sword edge cut through the air, and it actually made a slight sound of breaking through the air, which showed how sharp it was.
Gray sword marks kept appearing and disappearing.
However, the sword marks remained for longer and longer, and as the sword speed increased, gray rose petals finally formed around the werewolf leader.
The seventh move of the silver sword skill, the sword of fantasy flowers.
Lu He carefully felt the silver fantasy power contained in the sword energy in front of him.
There were countless friction sounds of blades cutting and piercing inside the petals, as if the petals, including the patterns on them, were constantly cutting and piercing the air every second as they rotated.
He judged that the werewolf leader had already gotten started. Although he was not very skilled, he could at least fight in actual combat.
Lu He nodded with satisfaction and stretched out his right hand suddenly.
Hiss!
A bloody arm smashed the petals and suddenly pierced through the werewolf leader's chest.
His pupils dilated instantly.
The werewolf leader lowered his head in a daze, looking at the palm that pierced through his chest, his eyes full of disbelief, and the blood on the sharp nails still retained his body temperature.
The rapier in his hand suddenly loosened, and a crisp and pleasant sound was heard.
Wisps of slightly black breath escaped from the fingertips, as if countless black smoke, like living things, drilled into the werewolf leader's body, constantly intertwining and entangled.
From Amu's perspective, Lu He's eyes could be seen.
At this time, the scarlet eyes seemed like the deepest whirlpool in the sea, echoing with the sound of peacocks.
Lu He was trying his best to stimulate the Black Prison Peacock Soul in his soul. The devouring power flowed into the body of the werewolf leader through his fingertips, devouring his soul and will bit by bit.
All the life information gathered in his palm.
The body of the werewolf leader began to shrink and dry up, falling to the ground piece by piece, breaking into black ash and disappearing.
The air seemed to be still.
Everything around seemed to be still.
Amu felt his scalp tingling, his body trembling uncontrollably, and only the sound of swallowing could be heard in the basement.
Retracting his right hand, the werewolf leader had completely disappeared, leaving only a pile of dust on the ground, proving that he had existed.
And a walnut-sized crimson glass bead appeared in Lu He's hand.
The glass bead was crystal clear and pure, without a trace of defects and impurities, and the surface was filled with gray mist.
This is called the Blood Soul Bead, which is condensed from all the essence of the werewolf leader's body and soul.
It cannot be used immediately. Next, useless impurities must be removed, which are useless memory fragments for Lu He. Try to keep only the part about the silver sword skills.
Because a person's life memories and emotions, whether explicit or potential, are extremely rich and huge.
Although the werewolf leader may be relatively simple, it is not something Lu He can absorb completely.
His soul is very powerful, much more powerful than the werewolf leader, but there is no essential difference between the two.
Just like a drop of ink dripping into a bucket, it will still cause some pollution. If it is replaced by the sea, there will be no impact, so he has to deal with it further.
Putting away the blood soul bead, Lu He turned and left.
The remaining three werewolf leaders are already good enough for him, let them continue to practice.
If this method is feasible, he will find human knights to be his devouring objects.
Now it is just an experimental stage. He will not choose werewolves for real practice, because werewolves know nothing about swordsmanship, and they mainly rely on their bodies to fight.
It will be more efficient to use human knights who are all masters of swordsmanship to help him practice silver sword skills.
In the following time.
Lu He did not make any more troubles, and stayed at the top of the mountain of the Laurel Half-Elf Tribe to learn and digest the few things at hand.
Every morning is a daily meditation.
The pale meditation method combined with Brinda's Wrathful Tears made his mental power grow rapidly every day, and the existence of the tranquility potion also shortened the time of taking the potion, but occasionally he needed to stop to adapt to the changes in mental power.
The purification and evolution experiment of his own bloodline is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Here I have to say that the blood core of the blood clan archduke is a good thing. Many of his ideas can be realized with the help of the blood core, saving him a lot of time and energy.
Then there are the other two vampire lolita. Lu He mainly studies limb regeneration on them.
It's just that the progress is slow, because the knowledge involved is not as simple as he imagined.
Then there is the study of other knowledge, and the focus is still on the fire element and soul science.
Especially soul science, the evolution of the Black Prison Peacock soul seed is comparable to the turtle speed. From the time he successfully condensed the soul seed on Earth to now, there has been almost no change. Lu He wants to find a way to speed up the maturity of the soul seed.
In fact, this phenomenon is very normal. The growth time of the real Black Prison Peacock is in tens of thousands of years, especially in the larval stage. A casual nap is hundreds of years.
And he is still a fake Black Prison Peacock, so the growth rate will only be slower.
Finally, it is the practice of various spells.
...
One month later.
The light in the early morning is bright, the air is cool, and there is a faint white mist on the wide lake.
There is a protruding gray wooden platform by the lake, which is more than ten meters long and more than two meters wide. It is covered with large stone slabs and supported by brown wooden piles as thick as thighs.
Several reddish-brown water birds float on the lake, diving underwater from time to time, making chirping sounds.
On the lakeshore opposite the wooden platform, several spotted river buffaloes with single horns are drinking water. The river buffaloes are very alert. After carefully drinking a sip of water, they prick up their ears to listen to the movements around them.
On both sides of the lake are tall red maple trees. The clear lake water reflects the fiery red maple leaves on the trees, which is quiet and beautiful.
A man in a black tight-fitting swordsman's suit is sitting on the platform, holding a fishing rod in his hand and slowly fishing.
Behind the man is a red-haired woman. The woman is wearing a black tight dress. The black jade earrings and black pearl necklace match her snow-white and smooth skin.
At this time, the morning light is bright, falling on her skin, reflecting a bright white light.
The woman leaned against the tree stump, holding a long sword in her arms, and her gentle eyes occasionally slid across the back of the man in swordsman's clothes.
At this time, a sound of footsteps broke the tranquility of the lakeside.
Not far away on the lakeside, a beautiful half-elf with green hair and a shawl was walking over calmly.
Not long after, the half-elf walked to the man's side.
"Lu He, there is news about the blue flame crystal fruit, one of the materials you are looking for." Yue Ling reported, she glanced at the wooden barrel next to her, and there was not even a fish hair in it.
"Oh? Where is it? Why didn't you send it?" Lu He threw away the fishing rod and slowly stood up.
The sharp horns on his head seemed to disappear, and he returned to his short black hair, with a faint golden color on the tips of his hair, and his scarlet pupils became deeper and bloodier.
His skin was still silvery white, and his body became stronger, with the outline of his muscles visible.
"The news just came back from the fourth collection team said that several mercenaries found it in an underground fire cave near Hongguang City and sent it to Hongguang City for auction."
"Huh? Auction? How did it go to auction?"
"There was a little accident in the middle." Yue Ling explained while handing over a round metal piece.
The metal piece was only half the size of a hand, with three dark red circular lines on the outside and a scarlet vertical eye inside.
This was his secret mark.
Lu He took the metal piece and gently threw it into the air, and the metal piece floated in the air.
The tightly closed vertical eye inside suddenly opened, and with a hissing sound, the pupil projected a white light curtain.
Ripples like water waves appeared on the light curtain, gradually stabilizing, showing a clear scene.
A blond man in black heavy armor, holding a black giant sword in one hand, knelt on one knee, facing the light screen.
"I'm sorry, master, we didn't intercept this fruit halfway." The blond man said apologetically.
"After receiving the news, we immediately rushed to the east, and joined the Sixth Collection Team to intercept the Snake Flag Mercenary Group that found the fruit outside Hongguang City in time."
"After the peaceful transaction was rejected, we planned to rob it by force. Just when we were about to succeed, we were accidentally discovered by the patrol team of Hongguang City. The other party was very powerful. We fought hard but were defeated and had to give up."
"Later we heard that the fruit would be entrusted to Kaili Auction House for auction in five days."
Lu He frowned and looked at the light screen quietly.
He had some impression of the blond man inside, the captain of the guard knights of Soros Manor in Xiangmu City, named Fenrir.
Before he came to Xiangmu City, Fenrir was already a high-level knight attendant, but now he is a knight, but he did not help him to be promoted, but Fenrir broke through by himself.
But in the final analysis, it was his fault, because he gave a lot of gold coins and cultivation resources to reward, and Fenrir got these generous rewards, so he had the opportunity to break through.
The collection team was formed by Frye, the purpose is to collect resources in the Dawn Forest for him.
Each team has a captain and nine members, the captain is a knight, and the lowest member is a mid-level knight attendant.
The collection team was formed as early as when he left Xiangmu City. After he came to the Dawn Forest, he gathered the forces of half-elves and some werewolves, and now it has gradually expanded to ten.
It is worth mentioning that the tenth collection team was formed by Sis personally leading several mid-level half-elves in the tribe a few days ago.
The reason is that Lu He gave too much, and he was jealous.
Lu He didn't care about money such as gold coins and gems. Except for doing business, he has always been generous, so the salary he gave to those who worked for him was not ordinary high, but very high.
Although many people "voluntarily" work for him, he will still give generous rewards and rewards.
Because the subjective initiative after giving is different.
For example, Mark, even if you don't give him money, he will definitely be loyal and work unconditionally, but after giving him money, he can burst out his small universe and sell you his life in the next life.
"Master, we found out that behind the Kaili auction house is the White Phoenix City-State Alliance, which is an asset under the command of a Sky Knight family, so we dare not act rashly for the time being."
Snap!
Lu He grabbed the metal piece in the air, and the screen was disconnected.
"Five days, it took two days to send the secret mark back, which means that there are only three days before the fruit will be auctioned." Yue Ling frowned and gave her own analysis.
Lu He looked calm, turned his head and said to Yue Ling.
"You go and call my watchdog, and Yili and the others, um... Sith also sent someone to notify them."
Yue Ling's eyes flashed with a trace of solemnity, nodded and left.
The beautiful Yue Ling is now his assistant, similar to the role of a housekeeper, helping him manage some chores.
Originally, Lu He wanted Sai Erya to be his assistant, but she was not interested, she preferred to lie down.
Yue Ling was different, she could not sit still and took the initiative to take the position.
Hongguang City was originally just a small city, a base of various forces in the east located in the Dawn Forest, collecting resources in the Dawn Forest while monitoring the movements of alien races.
Later, the human sky knight Anis came here.
Now, after more than ten years of development, it has become a city of considerable size.
Lu He did not believe that they did not know that he had made such a big fuss in the Dawn Forest.
But there were still people who did not give him face, which was interesting. Was it because the value of the Blue Flame Crystal Fruit was too great or there was some other reason.
Lu He did not want to know, because he was very angry.
No matter what the reason was, he was determined to get the Blue Flame Crystal Fruit, because this was a mental potion that he had finally gathered together, and it was a relatively advanced one.
He had been planning to go see the ancestral tree of the half-elf clan, but now it seems that he can only go to Hongguang City first.
Lu He was very upset about these things or people that interrupted his plan.
The breeze blew across the lake, rippling layers of fine waves, blowing on his face with moisture, which made him feel a little cool.
Lu He sat down with the fishing rod and continued fishing.
He was just fishing, simply fishing to empty his mind and cultivate his tired brain after studying experiments.
Usually he could catch a few fish, and let Nicole make spicy fish fillets or spicy grilled fish for him after taking them back, but today, for some reason, he didn't catch a single fish.
Lu He suddenly remembered the little fishing knowledge that Ge Xiaomi had told him when he was fishing with her on Earth. It should be because the air pressure was too low today and the oxygen content in the water was insufficient.
He smiled gently.
He put down the fishing rod, squatted down, put his fingers into the cold lake water, and stirred slowly.
Circles of ripples suddenly spread out with his fingers as the center.
Splash!
At a certain moment, Lu He grabbed with his hand.
He held a fat fish in his palm, struggling hard in his hand with a mouth full of fine and sharp teeth.
Its gills were desperately opening and closing, and a faint blood slowly overflowed along the bright red gills.
Some of it dripped on the lake surface, and some rubbed on the skin of Lu He's palm.
Lu He could feel that the fish in his hand was slowly losing the strength to struggle, and a hint of bloody smell faintly penetrated into his nose.
He quietly watched the big fish in his hand, from struggling to weakening, and finally dying.
"Yerrit, go back and eat fish."
