Chapter 43: Blood Core and Sparring (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, Investment)
Hohen's heart fluttered with the fluctuation of the blood core, and the shock produced by each flutter caused a certain degree of damage to Hoheng's body.
At the same time, the power contained in the blood sucked from the werewolf is transformed into Hohen's own power by the blood core,
In this cycle of repair and breakage, Hohen coagulated a second blood core in his right ventricle.
At a young age, Hohen had an extraordinary desire for life before he awakened the abilities of the Bloodline.
It was a full moon night, and when Hoheng couldn't suppress this instinct, he took it upon himself to capture and kill a poor hare.
He opened his mouth, and the sharp fangs broke through the hare's fur, and he bit down on the harre's aorta, and the stench of blood in his mouth was like an old wine, nourishing his body and strengthening his constitution.
Although he spent a happy childhood with Abel before the official awakening, his life began to dance with blood after the awakening of the power of the bloodline.
Werewolves and witchers came one after another around him to slay the young Bloods, who had learned how to fight from the constant escape and fighting. On a full moon night, Hohen had fallen into despair, when a werewolf chased him and Abel for three days and three nights, Hohen and Abel were both exhausted, but the blood power in Hohen's body was stimulated by the threat of life and the full moon, and entered the first eruption period, he transformed into a powerful bat monster, and successfully killed the werewolf.
Transformed for the first time, Hohen lost his mind and became a fierce monster with only the killing and predatory instincts in his mind.
At that time, Hohen's bat monster did not have hard scales on his body, only some fur, and the werewolf's claws and bites caused him great damage, but the out-of-control Hohen was like a beast that didn't know what pain was, and finally won a difficult victory with the method of exchanging injuries for injuries.
Hohen couldn't figure out why these werewolves were desperate to hunt him down, but since he tasted the werewolf's blood, he realized,
It turns out that this is the hatred between the bloodlines.
That night, Hohen condensed his first blood core, and after more than two hundred years of accumulation, the second blood core also came into being.
He needed time to familiarize himself with and digest the power and abilities of this new blood core, so he set up some protective measures at the mouth of the cave and fell into a three-day slumber.

The werewolves were busy repairing the houses that had been damaged during the battle with wood and mud, while the old man helped the little girl Lori and gave Silas a chance to talk to him alone.
"Outlander, do you now know why I asked you to give up?"
The old man sat in a rocking chair and smoked his own tea cigarette and handed one to Silas.
Silas waved his hand to indicate that he would not smoke, and replied,
"I understand that the Marquis of Hohen is indeed a monster."
After saying that, Silas smiled wryly, but he continued,
"But I'm a man, and since I said yes to Ettina, even though I know that I may never go back, I'm still going to go."
Silas shook his head, a resolute expression on his face, and continued,
"I'm her knight, and I should keep going, that's the spirit of a knight."
The old man was silent for a while, looking into Silas's eyes, the old man did not read a trace of hesitation or hesitation in his eyes, and said slowly,
"Then you stay. You're just going to die now. Alas. ”
Although the old man wanted to stop talking, he made Silas realize that he had hope, and Silas said gratefully,
"Thank you, old man!"
With that, the old man stood up and picked up two pieces of wood of about the same length and thickness by the side of the wooden house, picked up the axe and cut off the excess branches, and the two unopened wooden swords were finished, and threw one to Silas.
"Come, accompany the old man to the activities." The old man grasped the end of the wooden sword in his left hand, which was propped up on the ground like a cane, and beckoned to Silas with his right hand.
Silas took the wooden sword thrown by the old man in his right hand, and when he started it, he noticed that the weight of the wood was quite heavy, almost the same as the weight of a real sword.
Silas first held the sword in his right hand and danced a sword flower, but he didn't seem to be fully accustomed to the way he held the sword in one hand.
Silas had previously learned the two-handed greatsword that belonged to the knight, but now he can only hold the sword in one hand when his left hand is still not fully recovered.
Silas watched last night's battle and realized that the old man was the strongest master in the village.
Despite his advanced age, the old man with rich combat experience is still agile after transforming, so Silas understands that he can't be lazy and needs to exert his full strength.
"Please advise the old man." Silas said with a solemn expression.
With the tip of his sword pointing upwards and the hilt of his sword on his chest, Silas stands with his feet in front of him and his knees slightly bent and his center of gravity in place.
The spirit of the whole person is very stable, and the upper body is as straight as if it is being hung by a rope, ready to launch a breakthrough at any time.
The moment he held the sword, Silas seemed to burst out with a sharp sword intent, if those mobs attacked, Silas had a sword in his hand, the result might be different.
The old man carefully observed that Silas had calluses on his palms for daily sword practice, and from his standing posture, he could know that Silas's basic kung fu was quite solid.
"It is indeed a seedling worth cultivating, alas, a pity." The old man sighed in his heart.
Silas approached the old man step by step, and when he was about fifteen paces apart, he attacked.
"Hey!"
Silas shouted, his footsteps speeding up and instantly closing the distance between the two sides.
Twisting the joints of his wrists, he drove the strength of his forearms and upper arms, and stabbed the tip of the sword that had been facing the sky towards the old man.
"It's useless to strike first." The old man took a step to the right, dodging Silas's stabbing and commenting.
The old man's wooden sword, which was propped up on the ground as a crutch, was lifted by the old man and gently tapped on the back of Silas's knee.
With a slight effort, Silas lost his balance and fell to the ground.
The little girl Lori had actually been hiding outside the door and peeking after being pushed away, and when she saw Silas's embarrassment at this time, she laughed, and then walked into the courtyard and said in her crisp voice,
"Grandpa, isn't it time to eat in a while?"
The old man said with a smile and a smile,
"Eat, eat, eat, you know, didn't you just have breakfast two hours ago?"
Silas laughed as he got up from the ground, and teased as well,
"yes, aren't you afraid of getting fat? When the time comes, it will be over if you are too fat to get married. ”
Today, Xiao Luoli tied the long hair of the shawl into a cute double ponytail shape with two leather ropes, which made her look even more petite and cute.
Lori heard Silas's words, grimaced mischievously, and said,
"If you can't get married, I'll marry you! Nasty guy, huh! ”
After finishing speaking, I found that I seemed to have said something terrible, so I covered my mouth and blushed and trotted out all the way to get busy.
"Go home and eat in an hour." The old man shouted at Lori.
Silas, the wooden man, naturally didn't understand the girl's thoughts, and he wanted to become stronger in his heart now.
"Hi. It's good to be young. The old man said to himself, and continued,
"Come, come Take a break while eating. ”
