Xia Yanzhen looked at Tiamat, and Tiamat looked at the distorted fish monster blood crystal in front of her.
"Why don't you eat it? Are you worried about being contaminated?" Xia Yanzhen asked.
"How is that possible? I'm a dragon!" Tiamat immediately retorted instinctively, "And I'm a red dragon of the underworld!"
Whether it is dragons or psionic energy, they are quite aggressive and polluting.
Bathing in dragon blood can make you stronger, but it can actually be counted as "pollution".
But generally speaking, after bathing in dragon blood, you will become stronger. Even if you have the characteristics of a dragon, or even become a half-dragon, it is still handsome and acceptable in the general public perception.
So this is not considered pollution, it is considered enhancement.
The same is true for the distorted fish monster blood crystal, but it is a pity that the fish monster is too ugly and does not conform to public aesthetics at all, that is, iron pollution.
Some people who have a higher tolerance cannot escape the side effect of "I have become stronger but also become uglier".
As an apex predator, devouring is Tiamat's natural instinct. Now its instinct tells it that the blood crystal in front of it is a "high-energy food" that can be eaten and will be helpful to itself.
Moreover, under the powerful digestive system, the power belonging to the aberrant fish monster will be completely purified into life energy.
The "pollution" of psionic energy and dragons is much stronger than that of aberrant fish monsters.
Tiamat can eat with confidence and without fear of any special changes happening to her.
However, the problem is not the side effects of the distortion, but that the blood crystals are fishy.
Absolutely fishy.
This smell is not obvious and can only be smelled when you are close to it. After smelling it, I lost my appetite for three days.
Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit.
This is the reason why Tiamat is so slow and unwilling to eat.
"Then just eat." Xia Yanzhen said.
"It tastes terrible."
"Just take medicine." Xia Yanzhen warned, "Money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat. Don't you want to become stronger quickly?"
"..."
Tiamat fiddled with the blood crystal and said nothing, feeling very uncomfortable.
After a while, it closed its eyes, suddenly picked up the blood crystal, and swallowed it wholeheartedly.
An unpleasant taste went down his mouth.
Tiamat almost vomited.
Fortunately, it held it back, and after a few seconds, the smell dissipated.
Instead, there was a feeling of fullness and strength as the blood crystals began to be digested.
Tiamat's eyes lit up. The effect of the blood crystal was even better than it imagined. It was in the stage of growing its body and needed such high-energy food.
There are only three pieces of nether energy crystals, and they will be eaten within a few days.
"Is there any more?" Tiamat immediately smelled really good.
No, it smells bad and smells good.
"No more." Xia Yanzhen said.
Not every mermaid monster has blood crystals. I don’t know if they are unique to the mother body. But at least it is only for “murloc monsters” that have gone a step further and become more serious into fish.
"Let's find time to kill more." Xia Yanzhen was planning.
There were some noises in the lobby downstairs.
Xia Yanzhen opened the door and walked out. It was Manzhu and the others who came back. There was no betrayal in the city lord's mansion.
Cui Luo attaches great importance to the mermaid monster mother body.
However, his attention did not have much effect. Being able to protect half an acre of land in Ancheng was the limit of what he could do.
He just said that if necessary, he could provide some weapons or something.
The others are really gone.
Back at the inn, Manzhu and others first washed the mud and blood on their bodies.
The blood rain fell to the ground, forming puddles, and the accumulated water was light red.
The rain and fog are also red.
However, the rivers and wells look clear and transparent, and the water produced is not red. It is normal to the senses, and there is no need to overcome psychological barriers to use it.
A group of people who had finished cleaning gathered in the room.
Manzhu put the soft sword on the table and asked: "Does anyone need this equipment?"
"How much does Captain Manzhu think this sword is worth?" asked the eldest of the three brothers.
Regarding equipment and props, God's Dream will not give any reference prices.
Pricing and other matters are decided by the buyer and seller themselves.
Market choice.
At the same time, God's Dream itself does not provide "commodity trading", so there is no reference.
Prices fluctuate, and sometimes the gap is huge.
"This weapon must be matched with martial arts. If it does not count as martial arts, it is just a soft sword that is relatively sharp and not too high." Manzhu said, "My personal preference is that 5 to 10 small dream stones are enough."
If it were an ordinary sword, it might be worth more than 10 Dream Stones.
But the soft sword is too difficult to use, let alone easy to master. It is a weapon that is difficult to master from beginner to master.
Not many people use it.
"If you fold it, it's almost eight yuan." Boai said.
"I agree." Manzhu spoke on behalf of Bianhua.
"I think so too." The eldest of the three surviving brothers asked, "Does any of you want it?"
"I want it." Xia Yanzhen said.
He doesn't care about soft swords or anything like that.
Xia Yanzhen doesn't care about supporting martial arts.
He tried it and found that the soft sword was pretty sharp and could be used to strengthen the Blood Burning Sword.
This is enough.
Xia Yanzhen took out six dream stones and gave them to the other three teams to buy the soft sword, threw it into the mark space, and returned to the real world to strengthen it.
Afterwards, a group of people came to the backyard of the inn, released the body of the mermaid monster mother, and called shopkeeper Lin.
Compared to Cui Luo's surprise but helplessness, Shopkeeper Lin's reaction was much more intense.
He was about to write a letter in a hurry, and once again he flew a pigeon to send a letter to the senior officials of the Red Lotus Society to remind him.
As for Kong Xin, Shopkeeper Lin could only ignore it for the time being.
Even he didn't know that the "heroic man" he had been in contact with was a paper man.
Kong Xin himself has always been hidden.
We are all brothers in the church, who are you watching out for?
Shopkeeper Lin was inevitably dissatisfied. Moreover, after the paper man incident, Shopkeeper Lin also realized that "Master Kong" was indeed as timid as a mouse and should not be deeply friends with him.
Normally, the person who is in charge of this stronghold should be Captain Kong.
Now he is always in charge. If the Lilong Dynasty takes action and Kong Xin escapes, he will suffer a heavy blow.
I didn't realize it before, but now I'm "reminded" that Kong Xin is all the problem.
Nowhere is pleasing to the eye.
Shopkeeper Lin had already settled the matter without referring to the book above, and it was impossible to expect him to think about Kong Xin.
Halfway through shopkeeper Lin's letter, another group of people came outside the door.
The standard accessory of the hat and coir raincoat exudes a chilling atmosphere.
They walked directly into the inn, and the leader took off his bamboo hat, revealing a face full of beards that looked very powerful, simple and strong.
"Thank you, elder!"
Shopkeeper Lin immediately put down his writing and greeted him, "Why are you here?"
The structure of the Red Lotus Sect is not complicated.
At the top are the leader and deputy leader.
There are no protectors below, just elders, eight in total.
Below the elders are the helmsmen, sixteen of them.
Other than that, there are ordinary churchgoers.
The "four major" assassins of Xuanhuang and Tiandi are a little bit special. They are basically not responsible for or involved in the teachings. They are only responsible for practicing martial arts and then killing people.
Ordinary believers are not qualified to order assassins to do things. Assassins can refuse the orders of the helmsman if they find it difficult to complete.
Elder, the assassination order from the leader is absolute.
"I received a letter from you and Huang San. Come and take a look." Xie Wujiu looked at Xia Yanzhen and others in the lobby and nodded secretly in his heart.
These people look extraordinary.
If they can join the Red Lotus Sect, it will definitely be a big help. The only question is...whether they are the secret agents of the Lilong Dynasty.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
Besides, the camel of Lilong Dynasty is not completely dead yet.
The imperial minions and lackeys represented by the hound Mu Longyan have been fighting endlessly against the Red Lotus Sect.
Xia Yanzhen and the others were too upright, which made it difficult for Xie Wujiu to judge.
Fortunately, there is a way.
"How many righteous men want to join the Red Lotus Sect and jointly defeat Emperor Long Ai?" Xie Wujiu asked.
"That's right."
Manzhu said, "We are cultivators outside the country. The heavenly catastrophe has come and it has become a catastrophe for us. We can no longer cultivate and need to break the catastrophe. Emperor Long Ai is our 'catastrophe' and needs to be broken. After the catastrophe is eliminated, we will
I will stay away from the human world and continue to practice Taoism."
There is an implicit meaning in her words, that is, she will not participate in the "cake sharing" after Emperor Long Ai's death.
I think Elder Xie should be able to understand.
I only heard Xie Wujiu say: "Then, on behalf of the leader, I welcome you all to become a member of my Red Lotus Sect!"
There was no initiation ceremony, just agreed directly.
Keep everything simple.
"Great, then when are we going to kill Emperor Long Ai!" Manzhu was even more "simple" than Xie Wujiu.
He went straight to kill the Dragon Emperor.
"This... now is not the time." Xie Wujiu said.
"No, now is the time, because we don't have much time left. Elder Xie, please come with us." Manzhu turned and walked towards the backyard.
Xie Wujiu and others followed.
Shopkeeper Lin came over and whispered to Xie Wujiu what Xia Yanzhen and the others had discovered.
After hearing this, Xie Wujiu frowned slightly, went to the backyard, checked the body in the shed, stood up and said, "I didn't expect these things to appear even near Ancheng."
"Elder Xie knows this?" Manzhu asked.
"Actually, some disciples of the sect discovered these 'matrix's a few months ago, and there were actually quite a few of them." Xie Wujiu's face was solemn, "We cleaned up some, but... the results were average."
"Then why don't you hurry up and kill Emperor Long Ai?" Boai asked.
The Dragon Emperor is the source of everything.
When he dies, it's all over.
Xie Wujiu shook his head: "It's not that simple to kill Emperor Long Ai. The disciples in the sect searched for a long time and determined that Emperor Long Ai was hiding in a secret room in the palace. This secret room was made of world-separating stones and mechanism techniques. It is impossible to break through directly. You must have a key to open it."
"The key won't be in the hands of Four Dogs, right?" Xia Yan really felt like an RPG.
If you want to go to A, you must first go to B, and if you want to go to B, you must first complete the sense of déjà vu of C.
"That's right."
Xie Wujiu nodded, "They each have part of the key, and together they can open the door to the secret room."
"Then kill the four dogs first and snatch the keys from them." Manzhu said.
Xie Wujiu glanced at Manzhu and thought, "Why are these people more anxious than us?"
He patiently explained: "The four dogs are not so easy to kill. The blood dog is hiding in his fortress, the hunting dog is elusive, the mad dog is hanging alone on Siming Island, and the loyal dog guards the palace.
"The last two are okay, but the first two, we have to defeat them as quickly as possible before they can react."
