Chapter 19: The Old Man, the Bloodline

The twelfth district of the world in Blackcastle, a rugged and difficult forest trail.

Blood Wyverns have little sense of strategy, and as soul slaves enslaved by demigod wizards, they are not very intelligent until they are promoted to Legendary...... Cannon fodder, and it doesn't take much self-awareness either.

These evil dragons will even scatter in the dense forest to rest, and Zhu Peng has a sense of strategy, and even because of his training and cultivation in the world of meditation, his literacy in this area is quite high.

Control the troops to occupy the favorable geographical environment and broaden their horizons, and slowly advance forward.

In the interval when the intensity of the battle was relatively low, Zhu Peng turned out the space bag that he had just obtained from the five people of the robbery road...... It was tattered, a gray cloth bag that had been deliberately aged by its original owner.

However, there is about 70 square meters of storage space.

This kind of space equipment is a contraband that is prohibited from private ownership without application in the wizarding world, and if you want to pass the application review, you must at least have the identity of a third-order wizard, because the materials for manufacturing space equipment include the strategic materials of the Babel Witch Tower for the manufacture of large witchcraft on the strategic side.

Therefore, although the actual reserves of this material are actually very large, they are still official reserves, which are forbidden by private and private forces.

Once caught possessing without an application, although it will not behead the violator, it is not only the confiscation of illegal space equipment, but also a large penalty of magic stones, and if you can't pay it, it will be a long time of hard labor imprisonment.

For many low-level wizards, it is probably more pleasant to be imprisoned and serve a lifetime of hard labor than to be killed directly. And the reason why Zhu Peng dared to hold it, on the one hand, was that the relevant parties of this thing had already died, and on the other hand, it was because even if he was caught, he was quite sure that he would get enough magic stones to avoid a long hard labor sentence.

Zhu Peng held the unlimited interest-free loan authority of the Chinese Warriors Association in his hand, but he never used it.

'dado' After recovering a certain amount of magic, Zhu Peng held the space bag in both hands and read out the unlocked secret language, he was ready to adapt.

But the secret language was correct, and the space bag in front of him was opened without resistance.

Inside the space bag, the space of seventy square meters has been filled with about one-third, it seems that the original owner of this space bag has a lot of plans in his plan, and the things contained in it are all precious and high-grade items and materials in his eyes...... It is also valuable in Zhu Peng's eyes.

The wizard who was killed by a headshot was a second-order existence, and if Zhu Peng hadn't been in the state of demon transformation at that time, it would have been difficult to kill the other party even if he could defeat him.

The profession of wizard, once the first glimpse of the way to be promoted to a formal wizard, as long as the comparison of the strength of the enemy and the enemy does not produce a crushing and instantaneous killing trend, its survivability is very strong.

Especially in the wizarding world where the witch net is dense, any wizard with a little means can pay a certain price to obtain the life-saving equipment that opens the space door, plus the all-weather, 360-degree protection effect of the natural defense force field.

It can be said that unless there is such a thing as a legendary wizard or a legendary sword master, it is very difficult for the average legendary professional to kill an official wizard.

In the process of Zhu Peng's inspection of his harvest, the Netherworld Legion was naturally still in a state of slow advancement, and the surrounding dense forests made most of the Evil Blood Wyverns only come over in small groups to deliver food in turn, but some of the Evil Blood Wyverns will spit sonic bombs remotely.

For this kind of non-physical attack, Zhu Peng's defensive effect with the protective aura spread by his own Jindan rune seal is not very good.

So when he encountered this situation, Zhu Peng would get up and put some "Subtle Soul Dark Vision" curse in the group of dragons in the dense forest, reducing the visual range of the Evil Blood Wyvern, supplemented by the Confusion Curse, so that these modified bodies could only bite more wantonly on the nearby clans.

When it was determined which wave of evil dragons had indeed killed the Red Eye and the nearby clansmen, Zhu Peng would carefully dispatch the legion over, and then change the curse spell from confusion and subtle darkness to damage deepening, and after completely shooting the wave of dragons, he would replace the wave with the next wave...... And so on.

Extremely careful to manage their own legions, a small number of Caster family necromantic warriors who died in battle, some of their war ghost spirits will return to the wand in Zhu Peng's hand, waiting for the next summoning after a certain period of rest, while the other part will choose to dissipate in this world and return to a comfortable long sleep.

Of course, since it is in the midst of a chaotic battlefield, there will always be inevitable accidents.

As Zhu Peng slowly advanced towards the entrenched place of the Evil Blood Wyvern, he encountered several wizards and their followers who had come out of the dense forest.

In front of me was a group of six people, led by two wizards, a man and a woman, and their entourage included a black-armored orc swordsman with a large sword, a dwarf with a Gatling heavy machine gun and a grenade tied to his waist, and a druid aunt wearing a birdfeather crown...... and an old man in a strong suit with a red tasseled steel gun and a bald head.

"Zhu Peng, I didn't expect you kid to really get mixed up, this formation is not small...... Hey, for the sake of the villagers, you don't mind giving us a ride, right? Ma Yongzhen stroked his big bald head with one hand, compared with a few years ago, he looked younger, as if he had returned to the prime of his forties and fifties.

"Of course I don't mind...... Uncle Ma. ”

Looking at the sturdy bald man below, Zhu Peng was slightly stunned, and then the stone giant's palm carrying himself fell, and in the surprised eyes of others, Zhu Peng raised his arm and invited everyone to join him.

If it is a normal first-order wizard, he may be more afraid of being approached by many strangers...... As for Zhu Peng, he has always belonged to the category of being scrutinized.

Not to mention wizards, even practitioners of the same level are reluctant to get too close to a madman like Zhu Peng, because many martial arts require a certain amount of space to be displayed.

Listening to Zhu Peng's title, Ma Yongzhen was stunned for a moment, his eyes were shining, and he looked Zhu Peng up and down carefully.

This process was extremely short, and the next moment, the old Jianghu who had opened an underground gambling arena in the Abyss City covered up his demeanor, and he dragged the short-haired girl among the male and female wizards next to him.

"Qianrong, my youngest daughter, is also my only bone and blood in this world, Peng'er, you know. Qianrong, call me brother, in the future, I will study with your brother Peng in this city, and we must be close to each other, hahahahahaha. The bald old man looked up to the sky and smiled, he was very happy.

...... Ma Yongzhen, an old guy, was pretending to be confused and deliberately taking advantage of Zhu Peng.

The rules of the martial arts world are very strict, because the master teaches you what you are doing, so it has always been about being a teacher for one day and a father for life.

Ma Yongzhen was the same generation as Zhu Peng's master "Pure Yang Swordsman" Zhang Yuanfang, so when Zhu Peng did not succeed in his art career, he respected Ma Yongzhen's status as the elder of the rivers and lakes and the boss of the hall, and called him "Ma Ye", which is guarding the seniority and rules of the rivers and lakes.

But there is another rule on the rivers and lakes: the master is the teacher, and the big fist is the uncle!

This rule is not used by ninety-nine percent of the people in the rivers and lakes, because it is aimed at the immortals of the Dan Dao people, that is, the masters of the Dan Realm.

These Dan Realm masters are all big people who stir up the rivers and lakes, big roles, there are not many people on the rivers and lakes who can afford their honorific titles, even if they are only in their early twenties and thirties, their seniority can no longer be arranged according to the original rules...... Jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Elements, the Dan Jin Realm Boxer also has a special title, called: Human Immortal!

This rule for the immortals of Dan Dao is the respect of craftsmen for the craft of "boxing", for thousands of years, martial arts cultivation to the point of holding Dan, even if you have reached the peak, you have reached the extreme.

So when they first met, Zhu Peng called Ma Yongzhen Uncle Ma, and Ma Yongzhen reacted quickly, and he was surprised and quickly reacted that Zhu Peng's martial arts had cultivated to the Dan Dao realm.

However, because Zhu Peng couldn't say it clearly, this thick-skinned old Jianghu pretended to be confused, pulled his little daughter and pushed it in front of Zhu Peng, and insisted on pressing Zhu Peng for a generation.

"Brother Peng, hello, I am Ma Qianrong, a trainee of 'Blood Derived Derivation', I didn't expect to meet such a powerful fellow villager here. Saying that, this short-haired girl with a melon seed face looked at the Netherworld Legion surrounding the Stone Demon Giant with some surprise, and just peeked at the sound formation here in the dense forest, thinking that at least a second-order or even third-order great wizard had come.

No matter how much you think about it, you can't imagine that it is the same remnants of the earth as yourself.

"Hello, Uncle Ma often mentions you to me, and you are indeed a good girl in the show. "After all, it is no longer the martial arts circle of the Earth Era, and Zhu Peng is not interested in seriously considering the issue of the generations of the two sides with Ma Yongzhen, and even among high-level wizards because of their long lifespans, they are basically separate, and the times are already different.

Out of politeness, Zhu Peng nodded and praised Ma Qianrong, and planned to take these people on the way, but the etiquette of the Oriental people and the prestige of Zhu Peng obviously stimulated someone's sensitive nerves, and the male wizard who had not spoken all this time, and the blonde and blue-eyed male wizard squeezed over.

"Hello, I'm Stark, a trainee from Bloodborn. Well, Qianrong and I are very good friends, and it's nice to meet you. As he spoke, the man also deliberately gave a chest stroking salute, and a golden ring that was wiped shiny and had a family emblem almost flickered into Zhu Peng's eyes.

"Zhu Peng, a trainee of the 'Hand of Prison', is also very happy to meet you, in addition, let's hurry first, introduce each other and understand each other's abilities, we can talk while walking. ”

The sea monster crest on the Stark ring in front of you is the emblem of the "Haida Family" in the wizarding world.

However, the Haida family has always been based on the Psionic Bell Tower School, and as a member of this family, he was assigned to the Dark Mystery Wizard School to study, which in itself means that he is not taken seriously, or he is at a disadvantage in the family struggle, right?

The knowledge he had memorized when he was studying "Modern Wizard History" at the Iron Fist Academy flashed in his mind, and Zhu Peng instantly had a general understanding of the seemingly sunny and noble family in front of him.

What spells might he be good at, what hole cards might he have, and what position he would generally have in the family...... Even what level of combat effectiveness he has, he has a relatively rough assessment in his heart.

"Uh, Peng'er, don't you collect the following materials? Even if you only cut the most precious parts, there are so many at the moment, and in the end it will be a lot of magic stones. ”

"I can't do it, it's more valuable to continue to push the past, the corpses of those evil dragons on the ground, if Uncle Ma needs it, you can collect it after the legion, and you don't need to give me a share. "As far as Zhu Peng is concerned, it is in line with the best interests to seize the time to kill these high-quality evil dragon blood sacrifices to his Netherworld Legion, brush up the number of kills, and finally spend a large amount of magic stones to hoard a sum.

However, for retail investors with meagre strength, it is most cost-effective to follow the big army to pick up food, which is the difference in selectivity caused by the difference in their size...... Although it is indeed somewhat humiliating.

"Ah...... Hahaha. As a member of the Hyda family, how could I care about the materials of those low-level dragons, and it just so happens that I am also interested in seeing the private treasury of the demigods, why don't we join forces together?" The young wizard named "Stark Haida" in front of me seems to be usually not valued much in the family, so that his self-esteem is a little deformed and sensitive.

As a wizard with such a high intellectual demand, he would actually give up his best interest value orientation because of this sensitive self-esteem, and put forward a request to move forward with Zhu Peng...... Is this a brain caught in the door?

"Uh, yes. Zhu Peng was stunned for a moment, and then he directly agreed.

Anyway, the accumulation of killings is counted separately, and there is no problem of equal division of the team, as Zhu Peng, of course, he welcomes a few more main combat forces in the team to share the pressure and speed up the progress.

Zhu Peng's own spiritual power qualifications as a mudblood, although he bypassed some bottlenecks and restrictions through the rebirth of Bao Dan. However, the affinity of his elemental particles is very low, and although he is in the plastic energy department, Zhu Peng's main focus is negative energy.

And Zhu Peng's own high-power range necromancy inherited through the memory of the old necromancer, the consumption of magic is more exaggerated than the other, most of the time he would rather waste some time to use the long-range strike of the Netherworld Legion to slowly clean up, rather than spend a huge amount of magic power to open the map cannon.

Now that someone has suddenly stepped up and is willing to undertake this dirty work and tiring work, Zhu Peng's position is of course very welcome.

"Ahaha, that's fine. In this way, let me and Qianrong and Lisa be in a group, Stark and your entourage Doug and Jeff in a group, we will take turns to help Zhu Peng open the way, and the remaining group of those who are tired from fighting will retreat to the second line to collect the materials of the evil dragon. Zhu Peng, in the end, these materials are divided into two percent for you, and we can't collect your loot behind you in vain, right?" Ma Yongzhen, the old Jianghu, actually put forward a proposal that seemed reasonable, but was actually more beneficial to Zhu Peng, and this proposal was finally implemented.

The first to go down to collect materials were Ma Yongzhen and the two women, while the blonde Stark was left behind with his orc and dwarf retinue to help Zhu Peng clear the way.

The dwarf with the Gatling heavy machine gun and a grenade strapped to his waist put down the heavy machine gun, which was no longer out of ammunition, and picked up a hammer again to join the orc swordsman.

Stark and Zhu Peng stood together in the palm of the stone demon's hand, and the two wizards were condescending, casting spells to control the field.

Zhu Peng used a relatively small amount of range curse spells to assist in controlling the field, and cooperated with military command. And before Stark cast the spell, the man had green tendons floating around him, and his eyes faintly revealed red fire, after activating the bloodline implanted in himself, the affinity of this wizard's fire energy particles skyrocketed, condensing all kinds of powerful fire spells, and in a short period of time, as a battery wizard, he was really competent.

(The trainees of the blood-derived wizard school are a little impetuous, but their skills are indeed not weak, after all, they are cultivated by the wizard family...... Is this a high-level source blood implantation, or is it a secret blood that you debug yourself?) The source blood implantation of high-level lifeforms is hugely powerful, relatively safe and stable, but once implanted, it is not considered a pure human being, and the impact goes deep into the origin of one's own life, and the more advanced the source blood, the greater the bonus effect in all aspects.

But at the same time, it was also affected by some bloodline diseases, and when it was promoted to the fifth order transcendent in the future, it was subject to some invisible restrictions.

Of course, there are some low-level source blood, maybe the ancestor of the blood source is only three or four order, and the limit bottleneck of this kind of source blood is relatively easy to break through, but once it is broken, it is basically equivalent to you recreating a race.

And the secret blood modulation, by self-modulation of low-level life bloodline, implanted in oneself to obtain power, for example, at the same time has the speed of a leopard, the strength of a bear, the vision of an eagle, and the defense of a rhinoceros, this kind of secret blood implantation is not easy to penetrate into the source of life, even if the wizard who carries out this bloodline transformation itself belongs to the category of human beings, marrying and having children, reproducing offspring, and future generations will not have any corresponding inheritance.

However, the danger of secret blood preparation is not comparable to that of source blood implantation, once the research goes wrong, or one of the multiple bloodlines penetrates into the origin of life...... Hopefully, you don't crumble when you give birth to a bunch of monsters with bear-headed people and scales.

Even a wizard who is obsessed with bloodline modulation and simply does not marry for the rest of his life may face the danger of his bloodline collapsing and suddenly turning into a pile of sour water one day and hanging up.

However, the bloodline is so dangerous and restrictive, but there are still large groups of wizards who follow one after another, but because this family of witchcraft is really strong enough.

When they reach the advanced level, this group of lunatics can even come up with a "race-destroying virus".

Another example is the dragon vein warlock implanted with the dragon's source blood...... There is almost no need to cultivate, eating, drinking, and having fun every day, hundreds of thousands of years later, he is also a legendary warlock, Wu Wu has dual talents and specialties, a little diligent, and ordinary wizards of the same level are not opponents at all.

A talented secret blood wizard, he can make cats when facing mice, and he can create aliens when facing humans, all in all, it is not an exaggeration to say that bloodline wizards are the most dangerous wizard system, and they are extremely dangerous to people and already.

Of course, Stark Haida and Ma Qianrong, whom Zhu Peng just partnered with, are far from reaching the above level, and they should still be at the level of step-by-step study, exploration, and implanting themselves with classic secret blood combinations to improve their combat effectiveness.

Stark was really cool when the battery bombarded in the military formation, and the two orc and dwarf warriors below who had obviously been transformed by the bloodline were also working hard, and the Netherworld Legion was moving faster, and Zhu Peng was quite impressed by their performance in his heart while casting a curse spell to control the field.

Below, Ma Yongzhen and Ma Qianrong, who were working behind the legion, sent the precious materials cut from the evil dragon to the stone demon giant's legs, and pressed the harvested materials into the stone soil, and those materials naturally blended in.

"Dad, is this senior really from an earthling like us? His magic power is so pure, and this control over the Necromantic Legion can really be tempered in just a few years?" Ma Qianrong herself can be said to be the first batch of earth humans to be promoted to official wizards in the post-wizard era of the earth.

Although this girl usually doesn't say it, she still has some pride and a sense of mission in her heart, and seeing Zhu Peng's overtaking in this corner at this moment, emotion and shock are inevitable.

"He's probably a few years behind you, and this guy will be at least a legendary wizard in the future. Ma Yongzhen responded to her youngest daughter's question, remembering the description of "Danshi" obtained through the relationship between the rivers and lakes back then, and felt more or less regretful in her heart.

(If Hu'er hadn't been so eager for quick success back then, he would have had a chance to impact the Dan Realm...... If I weren't so eager for quick success, in this era, I would actually have a chance to impact the Dan Realm. Feeling the power surging in the veins in his body, the bald old man sighed to himself.

........................

At night, after all, it is impossible to really rush overnight to rush forward, wizards need to recover their mana, and warriors need to replenish their physical strength to restore their fighting spirit.

Light a campfire in the center of the camp and set up a simple campsite. During the break, Zhu Peng also probably figured out the relationship between Ma Yongzhen and the six of them.

After perceiving the changes in his apprentice Ma Huo, Ma Yongzhen secretly sold his farm at a high price without saying a word, and then took the magic stone in his hand to his youngest daughter Ma Qianrong.

In the wizarding world, let alone a formal wizard, it is normal for even a wizard apprentice to accept a servant slave. The status of a wizard is noble and respectful, even if it is an apprentice wizard, as long as he shows a certain potential, he also has his own high-level professionals who are willing to give their souls as lackeys.

Among the many wizards who accept orc warriors and elven slaves as servants, Ma Qianrong accepts a bald old man as her servant, which is simply weak.

And Ma Yongzhen also forbade Ma Qianrong to explain the identities of the two to the outside world, only saying that they were relatives...... And in the following days, this ruthless man with a strength-level Xingyi spear technique and boxing skills slowly showed his value far beyond flashy orcs or elven slaves.

Perfectly completed the tasks assigned by the tutor, the strong competitors around Ma Qianrong fell one after another, and finally when the other students were shocked to find that this silent earth woman had grown to the point where they needed to look up to themselves.

Ma Qianrong had already brazenly snatched the precious place of the "Promotion to Official Wizard Transformation Ceremony", she only needed to work her studies, so there was dirty work, and Ma Yongzhen stood behind her to help her shoulder it.

"Doug is an orc warrior with a strong physique and a quick body, so I implanted him with the bloodline of a brute orc, the healthy muscles of the Thunder Leopard...... His combat effectiveness has at least doubled as a result. Jeff is a dwarf, and he likes the gunpowder weapons of you earthlings, so I gave him a binocular modification operation, and his dynamic vision is now not inferior to that of a frog, and ......" Stark Hayda is quite talented, but he likes to boast about being frivolous.

And maybe because of his background, the arrogance of the wizard in his body seeped into the bone marrow, and when he talked to Zhu Peng, this guy evaluated his two soul slaves like he evaluated goods or animal husbandry.

Although the soul slave could not disobey his master, and it was true that his status was generally low, Zhu Peng could still see the suppressed and hidden hatred in the eyes of the dwarves and orcs working not far away.

In contrast, Ma Qianrong, who was helping the druid woman Lisa to make soup at the campfire, was talking and laughing with her soul slave.

Even Ma Yongzhen helped pick up wood and sticks to add fire, and judging from the eyebrows between him and the ** plump buttocks druid aunt, it was not difficult for Zhu Peng to guess the relationship between the two of them.

Even when she was looking at Ma Qianrong with Lisa, her eyes almost flashed with a loving and doting feeling that a mother was looking at her daughter.

This is a very terrifying relationship, and Zhu Peng has no doubt that if he poses a threat to Ma Qianrong, this druid named Lisa will play with him.
