Chapter Seventy-Four: The Fountain of Blood

Xu Tian is a very sensitive person. Looking at the two silver and blue cards in his hand, two huge questions had already popped up in his heart.

First, why are the names of the two cards exactly the same as the names he took on the Soul Continent? Xu Tian currently has two answers to choose from, one, the Evolution Temple searches for his own memories, makes temporary cards and numbers them. Second, these cards have existed for a long time, and it is the Evolution Temple that exerts some kind of unknowable influence on himself in the Soul Continent, allowing him to subconsciously give his soul technique such a name. The second answer is very scary to think about.

Second, the description of the special effects of these three cards reminded Xu Tian of something - that was the evaluation system in Tianchen Academy. Is there any connection between the two? Xu Tian could not get an answer.

"It's really a wave of unsettled, and a wave of rises. Xu Tian was very helpless.

[The following is only one reminder.] 】

[Due to your "Lone Wanderer" talent, your summon sigil will mutate.] 】

All of your summons will consider themselves provoked, and when they are summoned, they will no longer appear in their original form. 】

[Your summons will appear in human form.] 】

[Due to the change in form, the combat ability of all your summons decreases by 10%, and the combat ability of summons in the original form of a humanoid does not decrease.] All your summons have the ability to think and organize in simple language, and have the ability to learn. 】

[Since you take on a human form, your summon will be judged as "Other Trialists" in the "Lone Wanderer" talent judgment, so when your summon is around, you will lose the "Lone Wanderer" talent bonus.] 】

[Your summon is dissatisfied with your "Lone Wanderer" talent, and will ignore the summon's time limit until its life rate drops to zero.] All buffs on your summons are reduced by 10%. 】

[Your commands will affect your Minions' opinion of you.] When the opinion exceeds 100%, the excess part is directly added to the combat ability of the summon, and the friendship is up to 200%. When your opinion is below 30%, your summons have a chance to disobey your commands. When your opinion drops below 5%, you will lose your summon emblem. 】

Xu Tian, who was already depressed, stood in place for ten seconds after hearing these long words.

"Huh?!"

Xu Tian simply found a slightly cleaner grass slope nearby and lay down.

"In other words, the three killer cards I have left have undergone a tragic mutation," Xu Tian said as if he were dead as if he were looking at the three summoning cards in his hand, "First of all, they have all become humanoids, at the cost of reduced combat ability, and they will be judged as other trialists, which will affect my talent effect, and the benefit is that it has increased thinking, language, and learning ability." Then there is the extension of the existence time to infinity, and the advantage is of course that the use time is longer, knowing that the existence time of ordinary summons is only a few minutes. The downside is that the buff effect is weakened, and there is no way to summon and retract summons as much as you want. The last point is to increase the favorability judgment, the better the relationship, the stronger the combat effectiveness, if the relationship is not good, the summoned will be disobedient, and then it is possible to lose it directly......"

"Ah......" Xu Tian closed his eyes in distress, and opened them again three seconds later, but there was no depression in his eyes.

"Not bad. Xu Tian briefly analyzed it and found that on the whole, the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

"Could it be that the 'Lone Wanderer' talent itself is a mutation key, and anything will mutate when it encounters it?" Xu Tian had such an idea in his mind.

"Or is it that the 'Lone Wanderer' talent itself is too hateful? It makes sense to think so, always have to be alone, alone, and there is indeed a suspicion of pretending to be cold...... "Xu Tian squinted his eyes and analyzed, "No wonder the explanation just now said that the summoned object felt that it had been provoked, and there were expressions of dissatisfaction and so on...... To put it bluntly, it's just that I'm not happy......"

"That's too bad, doesn't that mean that my summon's initial opinion isn't high, it's definitely lower than 100%!"

"In other words, I'm going to please my summons!"

Xu Tian turned over helplessly on the grass.

"What a bitter summoner......"

After lying on the grass for a few more seconds, Xu Tian reluctantly got up and continued to walk deep into the mountains and forests.

"Since there is no limit to the time of existence, then why don't I summon one out now?" Xu Tian thought to himself, "It just so happens that this trial mission should be relatively simple in theory, and it is also convenient for me to control the summons, in case I enter a dangerous mission in the future, it will be troublesome if I can't control it at the critical moment, and I should stutter them ...... now."

At the thought of being a summoner, he actually had to confront his own summons, and Xu Tian suddenly became depressed again.

"Forget it, sooner or later, you have to face it, so ......"

[Real name: Ratpaw Rabbit]

[Digital: Ξ³-C-4927]

[Equipment Condition: Skill Ξ΄-B, Speed Ξ΄-B]

[Special effects: Powerful wind and thunder attributes, medium speed and skill, low constitution. Other coats of arms can be equipped.

[Current Loyalty: 60%]

A ray of light shot out of the card, slowly condensing into the form of a human.

This person's whole body was covered by silver-gray light iron armor, and even his face was not exposed, and even his palms were covered by soft armor, and the only thing on his body that was not covered by iron armor was the long white hair.

"Female ...... The girl ...... "Although Xu Tian was mentally prepared, his face began to burn when he saw this scene at this time.

"Codename, Ξ³-C-4927, reports to you, sir. A cold voice came from inside the armor.

At the same time, the voice in his head began to prompt Xu Tian again.

[The following is only one reminder.] 】

[Due to the humanization of your summons, you will have the right to re-determine their codenames.] Note that this power can only be exercised when and only when the initial summon is made, and cannot be changed once the code name has been decided. 】

"It's been a long time, and you want me to name it again......" Xu Tian rubbed his temples helplessly, but there was irrepressible excitement on his face, if Paschia was here, I was afraid that he would have to complain again.

This guy is a name fetish......

"That's right, since I learned about the existence of the Evolution Temple, my idea of choosing a name has been opened," Xu Tian gushed and began to think about how to choose a name, "It shouldn't be limited to the lingua franca of the Soul Continent, you can also use a language that existed in ancient times but is not used much now, hmm...... Originally, I gave the pikkaw rabbit a name 'Xiao Li', but now it seems, ah, no, it's too naΓ―ve, I should have taken a more in-depth name, right...... The code name is, R!"

[Summons formerly codenamed Ξ³-C-4927 will be codenamed R.] Are you sure?】

"Yes!" Xu Tian's eyes seemed to be lit with flames.

"Codename, R, reports to you, sir. "This time it's the voice of the summoner.

[R's opinion of you is increased by 1.] Current opinion rating is 61%. 】

"Oh, this can also increase the favorability?" Xu Tian was a little surprised in his heart. However, after thinking about it for a while, because he was very careful to name her, the logic was clear, and Xu Tian's mind finally returned to the main task.

"R, can you go up the tree and see the surroundings?"

"Yes. ”

……

"Okay, so you understand it as a general interrogative sentence, it seems that my future instructions will have to be clearer...... R, climb a tree and observe your surroundings. ”

R jumped up to the treetops in two clicks. Sure enough, most of the original attributes of the rat claw rabbit were retained, and the flexibility was incomparable to Xu Tian.

After a few moments, R jumped down from the tree and said, "At the foot of the mountain is a village. A red river flows through the middle of the village. ”

"I see, that is, this mission is really to help the village, I say, if it's just a strange spring from the deep mountains and old forests, what's the point of doing that? ”

"R, follow me and keep going. ”

……

Twenty minutes later, Xu Tian finally came to a place that was obviously his destination.

The fountain of blood, full of the smell of blood, was bubbling out of a cave, and around the cave, there were some strange symbols painted with blood.

"It seems that this is the last thing to deal with, and sure enough, the difficulty of the first trial mission will not be too great. Xu Tian was relieved. You must know that the result of summoning R early is that the Lone Wanderer effect disappears, so now Xu Tian only has 76% of his physical strength left.

As soon as he thought of this, Xu Tian did not hesitate anymore and walked straight into the cave.

"Drip-a-" The interior of the cave was damp, the walls were covered with thick moss, and from time to time water droplets fell from the top.

The smell of blood in the air became stronger and stronger, and Xu Tian could only cover his nose and endure the discomfort.

A faint breeze rippled through the cave.

Just as Xu Tian was worried about the unknown danger that might come from all directions, the darkness ahead was suddenly dispelled by the light.

A giant python is entrenched in the depths of the cavern, with a glowing bead hanging from its head.

"Good...... Okay, it's me who overestimated you, not only did you not sneak attack, but you also lit a lantern to let us see you......" Xu Tian was speechless for a moment.

"R, go up and try its strength, be careful not to be tied up by it, and then be careful of being bitten, although pythons generally seem to be non-venomous, but be careful. If you are bitten and bleed, you will be in trouble. Anyway, you are covered in iron armor, so you shouldn't be afraid to bite ......."

"Yes. R agreed, and was already running towards the python.

[R's opinion of you is increased by 2.] Current opinion rating is 63%. 】

Soon, R and the python began to wrestle. Xu Tian watched the battle from the sidelines, and his heart was weak, after all, this was the Evolution Temple, there was no so-called soul power at all, and there was no weapon such as the Silver Bell Sword, so he couldn't cause effective damage to this giant python at all.

"Watch out for the tail in the back...... Yes, now, Wind Blade! Okay, it's bleeding, good luck...... Ah, it's tied, it's thundering, it's not fainting, it's jumping out, it's going around to the side, yes, it's ......."

Xu Tian kept nagging on the side, but he was also shocked by R's fighting skills in his heart. In fact, R needs Xu Tian to give instructions, only when to release the skill, and in other fights, R is like a veteran, Xu Tian himself hasn't reacted yet, R has already made a due response.

The battle lasted only a little more than two minutes, and after two rounds of skills, the python's hiss became weaker and weaker, and finally it finally fell.

Xu Tian did not participate in the battle, but he was still sweating profusely. Such a fight, for him who is close at hand, is actually more like a teaching.

[Main level mission completed.] Life is safe, and you can choose to leave the mission within 60 seconds. 】

Xu Tian was stunned for more than ten seconds, only then did he react from the battle just now, looked at the giant python, suddenly overjoyed, and hurriedly rushed over, holding the glowing bead is ......

Killing prey and obtaining materials was an instinct that Xu Tian had cultivated in his eight months of grinding in the jungle.

Sure enough, at the same time as the bead arrived, the voice of the Evolution Temple sounded in his mind.

[Real name: Glowing beads]

[Digital: Ξ΄-C-0332]

[Conditions of use: None]

[Special effect: Can be used as a lighting fixture, heated to recharge]

"Dare is still a lighting tool that can be charged, and I'm lucky. Xu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the breathless R beside him, handed her the beads, and said, "Here you go, you can take it." ”

R took the bead, and a flash of light flashed, and the bead was already embedded in the iron armor on his left shoulder.

Equipped with "Glowing Beads.] Can be removed at any time. 】

[R's opinion of you is increased by 1.] Current opinion rating is 64%. 】

"By the way, after two minutes of fighting, you must have been injured too, come, eat this. Xu Tian handed the "fish living in the water" to R again.

The digital eye special effect was activated three times, and Xu Tian found that R's vitality, soul power, and physical strength were all maintained at more than 60%.

In fact, Xu Tian just wanted to see if R would take off the helmet and eat it again......

As a result, R took the card, and there was another light, and the card disappeared......

[R's opinion of you is increased by 1.] Current opinion is 65%. 】

"Okay...... The spy failed," Xu Tian was a little depressed, "Then, R, see you after two missions!"

As he spoke, Xu Tian had turned into a white light and disappeared into the cave.

R looked out of the cave, then turned into white light and vanished.

……

"Damn, the Blood Fountain mission has been completed!"

As the group entered the cave, one of the big men yelled.

"That's it, it's just a hidden mission, and it doesn't affect the main mission. A fluttering voice came out, but I don't know who made it.

"The key is that Lao Tzu has been climbing the mountain for so long, and the bamboo basket has been empty, damn, if I let me know who did it, I will definitely pull his head off......"

"Let's go. The fluttering voice was a little cold. Everyone quickly left the cave, leaving only the big man to curse a few more words in a frustrated manner, and then hurriedly followed.

……
