Chapter 23: Bloodline
Thanks to the involvement of the three of Wood, Ivan's arrival on the island was relatively smooth.
Standing on the edge of the island, a faint mist shrouded the place, and several blue-blue water ghosts stopped Ivan who was running quickly.
Ivan slowly drew his sword, keeping a safe distance from the water ghosts.
Water ghosts are relatively common low-level monsters on the mainland, and general lakes, swamps, and even sewers are the haunted areas of these guys.
Although the individual combat effectiveness is average, there are not a few adventurers who have killed them when they often appear together.
The water ghosts did not have any fighting intelligence, they were just insanely aggressive towards living creatures, and the moment they spotted Ivan, they roared and rushed up.
Ivan held his breath, and a faint glimmer gradually appeared on the blade of the sword as Ivan stroked.
Sideways to dodge a water ghost in front, Ivan quickly slashed at the opponent's head, the blade cut in without pause like cutting tofu, and the cyan blood suddenly spurted to the ground, and Ivan's dexterous body allowed him to quickly swim among the water ghosts.
Picking, chopping, chopping, stabbing, every action is natural, these low-intelligent water ghosts can't touch the corners of Ivan's clothes at all, Ivan always feels that his current combat performance seems to be a little too strong.
If you put it in normal times, you will never be able to deal with these water ghosts without getting hurt.
Ever since the appearance of this strange red circle, Ivan has always felt that his body feels much lighter than usual.
I don't have time to think about why this is, maybe it's because I'm too worried about Ciel, and the explosion of potential is exactly what he needs right now.
It didn't take much effort to find Ciel, and in the jungle on the edge of the island in the middle of the lake, the pale Ciel fell into a deep coma, not responding at all.
Ciel, like those adventurers, is sucking their life force out of this spooky circle!
Ivan frowned and looked at Hill, whose face was getting more and more painful, and thought frantically about all ways in his heart.
Unlike those adventurers outside, he didn't appear to be absorbed by this magic circle, why is this?
If there is any difference between himself and ordinary people, it is probably the other half of the blood in his body.
From the blood of the demons.
This demonic blood that is hated by all of you.
Ivan's heart has gradually had an answer, and a bold method has gradually come to mind.
"Although I didn't want Ciel to be contaminated with this demon's blood.....," Ivan smiled bitterly, "but if you don't do this, I'm afraid Ciel won't last long." ”
Ivan pulled out the dagger that hung from Ciel's waist, stretched out his arm, and gently slashed down on his forearm.
The flickering blade of cold light easily cut through Ivan's skin, and the blood that was essentially different from ordinary people suddenly poured out en masse.
Ivan gently opened Ciel's small mouth and carefully dripped his own blood into the girl's seductive pink lips.
After a while, he was relieved to see Ciel's face quickly turn rosy.
But then, Hill showed a painful look again, and the power of the circle was actually strengthening!
It's not good to go on like this, the speed at which the circle absorbs life force has far exceeded the speed at which it can replenish itself.
Seeing that the unconscious mercenary's body next to Hill was rapidly sinking, Ivan knew that it would not take long to maintain this appearance, and he was afraid that Hill's qi and blood would be completely drained by the magic circle.
Gritting his teeth, Ivan quickly added a knife to the wound, and the expansion and deepening of the wound made Ivan's blood flow faster and faster.
It's a life-and-death race.
It's just that Ivan doesn't know who his opponent is at all, and he doesn't know how far his game will last. And he was well aware that his hopes of victory were slim.
This completely hopeless death is the most terrifying, and when you are exhausted from the struggle, the goddess of death will take graceful steps and devour you little by little.
Although Ivan's physique is stronger than that of ordinary people, and he is also at the age when his qi and blood are at its strongest, his blood is not endless after all.
The loss of blood had already made him a little dizzy, and Ivan quickly held on to the big tree next to him with his other hand, if he let the blood flow like this, he was afraid that he would meet the goddess of death one step earlier.
But he didn't stop feeding Ciel's blood.
For Ivan, even if everything he does is only to delay the arrival of death, even if the struggle does not change the outcome of the matter, he will still do it.
He just felt that if the person he loved couldn't avoid the fate of death, then he hoped that it must be after he had exhausted all his strength, after he had shed all his blood, and after his heart had stopped beating!
Ivan felt that he might not be able to hold on for long, and there was already a serious double vision in front of his eyes, and the arm that dripped blood for Hill was not drip blood in the wrong place at one time, and many parts of Hill's upper body had been soaked in his blood.
Ivan slowly put his hand on Ciel's forehead, probably the last time he touched Ciel's forehead. Sensing that Ciel's qi and blood had been replenished, he smiled with some relief.
Maybe Hill can be rescued in the end, but I'm afraid he won't be able to see it.
But then, Ivan's heavy brain suddenly seemed to sense something.
"Has this circle stopped?"
He then shook his head again, and it was clear that the mercenary next to him was still losing his vitality.
Looking at Ciel, who was covered in bright red, Ivan guessed that his own blood might have covered Ciel's breath?
With all his strength, he stood up and dripped some blood on the unconscious mercenary next to him, and found that the degree of the other party's absorbed vitality was significantly weakened.
Ivan hurriedly bandaged his wound to stop the bleeding, and if the blood continued to flow, I was afraid that he would really be hopeless.
He stood there and thought for a moment, since his own blood could cover the breath of other people, did it mean that the banning effect of the magic circle could also be concealed?
Ivan picked up the unconscious Ciel, trying to carry her on his back, but as soon as he picked her up, his feet went limp and he fell to the ground.
"It seems that there will be no time and a half, and I should not be able to recover from this condition."
However, just after Ivan said this, he was stunned, and he suddenly felt a huge amount of qi and blood quickly burrowing into his body from the pores up and down his body.
In the middle of the jungle.
The man in black, who was lying on a tree branch and watching the battle by the lake, suddenly sat up.
"How so? Someone is stealing the power of qi and blood collected by the circle!? ”
