363 Reflections on the art of collecting blood

However, these two difficulties are, in a sense, a matter of one and two, two and one. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info let the strong escape, but also means that the blood beast will hatch at this moment. Therefore, when dealing with blood beasts, the other four powerhouses must also be considered, and the scale inside is very particular. It all comes down to how to control the process of the blood-gathering technique.

Blood-gathering is a spell used only by the undead. It does not fall under the category of elemental spells and only focuses on the extraction of blood. This series of spells is inherently at odds with the properties of the undead. The reason for this is that the blood itself is full of vitality, and the more it gathers, the more life it emits. The undead are a strange race whose souls are driven by resentment after the death of normal life. The undead do not possess life, their shells are merely containers for the spirits. It is most accurate to say that the undead are a dead species.

The function of the Blood-Gathering Technique is to extract the blood of the sacrificed undead to make a life core called a blood core. A blood core, with the help of arcane arts, can allow an undead to transform their physique and bring their body back to life. However, the secret art itself is very restrictive, and it is not so easy to cast. The transformed life shell has an Achilles' heel compared to normal life.

The hermit line is one of the few forces on the island of the dead that studies magic, and of course it also dabbles in blood spells in the undead system. It's just that the study of blood spells is not the focus of the hermit, and his knowledge is limited. For example, from the traces of the blood-gathering technique in the cave, the hermit could not know how it worked, and it was impossible to perform the six-pointed star blood-gathering technique in the same way.

The four remaining blood cocoons in the cavern have been removed and are now placed on each of the four sides of the bone prison. As far as Harder remembers, each blood cocoon was marked separately. In the center of the blood cocoon is the blacksmith zombie, in the east of the blood cocoon is Catherine, in the west of the blood cocoon is the old dog, in the north of the blood cocoon is the evil star, and in the south of the blood cocoon is the patrol leader Aina.

The blood cocoon in the bone prison is now vibrating more and more frequently and magnitude, indicating that the blood boiling is nearing the end. Visual inspection alone indicates that the blood cocoon contains far less blood than it can be absorbed. In other words, the Blood Cocoon is devouring the Blacksmith Zombie, trying to transform him into a Blood Beast.

The hermit estimated that the situation of the other four blood cocoons would not be too good, after all, there were no strong people in the true sense of the word in the first plain. Blood boiling is also not a path to advancement for ordinary undead. Therefore, if you really want to save the undead in the four cocoons, you must quickly arrange the blood collection technique, otherwise they will not be able to escape the fate of the blacksmith zombies.

Although there is a plan, it is not so easy to actually implement. The blood-gathering technique was not a hermit's specialty, and he had only mastered a superficial method of operation, far less refined than the six-pointed star blood-gathering technique. This method is very crude and straightforward, and the process of drawing blood cannot be controlled. The entire operation cannot be interrupted until the target's blood has been drawn. This means that it will be very difficult for the four undead in the blood cocoon to escape in time, and eventually their own blood will be drained, resulting in a significant loss of power.

The hermit drew the Doji Array and thought about how to help the undead in the blood cocoon escape in time. In addition, how to deal with the blood beasts that hatched from the central blood cocoon at the end is also a big problem. The hermit couldn't think of a solution for a moment, so he simply stopped drawing the magic circle, told Hard, who was watching, about the problem he was experiencing, and then asked Harder to go back to Stiff Town and ask Zhisu what he thought.

Three hours later, the hermit had finished drawing the last spell on the Doji Array, and stood up to see that Zhisu and the centaur captain Lie had arrived at some point. Lie seemed impatient, walking back and forth a little farther away. On the contrary, Zhisuo looked peaceful, as if there was no problem even if he stood for another day and night.

The hermit stepped forward, and Zhisuo heard him approaching, and spoke first, "I have no knowledge of magic, and I cannot answer your question." ”

"I know you can't answer. "But I would like to hear what you have to say, and perhaps it will enlighten my mind." ”

"It's fine. I think you can change the angle of your two questions. "Zhisuo is clearly prepared. "The blood collection technique can't be interrupted, but can you control the extraction speed? Can the undead in the blood cocoon that has been extracted first be able to escape first? Four can't be saved, and rescuing two or three is also a success. ”

"Control the speed. The hermit realized, "I just can't do this unilaterally, if I can get in touch with them in the blood cocoon, maybe I can do it." ”

The hermit muttered for another moment. "I already know what to do, what do you think of the blood beast?"

"The blood beast is powerful, we can't deal with it. Zhisu shook his head, "Then don't you just leave it alone?" ”

"What do you call not processing?"

"Is there a way to keep it from hatching first?"

"Don't hatch out. The hermit repeated, "As long as I can keep it with blood, I can keep the blood cocoon from hatching for a while, I think about it." ”

With Zhisuo's reminder, it only took three or five minutes for the hermit to think of a feasible way. The key is to control the speed at which the blood core is collected, that is, to have the four blood supply cocoons transfuse blood into the blood core at four different speeds. In this way, the undead in three of the blood cocoons escaped early after consuming the blood cocoons, leaving the last blood cocoon to continue the blood collection at a slow pace.

It's a pity that you can't use a six-pointed star array. The Hexagram-based Bloodcore is centered on the Blood Core, and as long as the Blood Core is not removed, the circle can run permanently. As long as you gather six blood donors at a time, you can activate the blood collection technique repeatedly. Like the six-pointed star array in the cave, I don't know how many years it has been running, it is much more sophisticated than the blood collection technique based on the cross star array.

The hermit sorted out his thoughts and said to Zhisuo, "According to your train of thought, after the three undead have escaped, I will leave the last blood cocoon to supply blood to the blood core in a very slow way. As long as the blood continues, the blood beast will not hatch. But there's a limit to how long this time can be. Once the blood is depleted, the blood beast will definitely hatch, and then it is necessary to find the power that can suppress the blood beast. ”

"How much time do you think you'll have?" asked Zhisu.

"It's hard to say. It depends on whether the undead in the blood cocoon can resist the devouring of blood. The hermit shook his head, "If he can't resist it, he will also turn into a blood beast, and the rate of blood consumption will be faster." What a hassle. ”

"You're saying it doesn't work?"

"It works. But you have to establish a communication channel with the four guys inside, judge their situation, and pick the best candidate. The hermit suddenly glanced in the direction of Stiff Town, "I remember that Harder found a cursed sword. I need that sword. ”

"You can let Lie get it. Zhisu shouted sideways, and after a while, Lie flew away.
