"So, do you need me to help you remove the engraving on it and replace it with a new one, Lord Brave?" Haiqiu asked.

Xu Shuo thought for a while, and then refused: "It's better not to use it, I'm a little curious about the effect of this engraving, I'll figure it out for myself when I go back." I'm sorry to trouble you. ”

Because Haiqiu said that the previous owner of these two short blades was a ruthless character, and said that the efficiency of this carving was very strong, Xu Shuo couldn't help but infer that this would be a very powerful carving, even if he didn't know what it was for the time being, he still decided to keep it, and it would come in handy in the future.

"In that case, let's go to the next room." The Golden Retriever Lion King saw that Xu Shuo had no intention of carving the weapon, so he said: "Next door is our clan's treasure house, and I said it before, as a thank you, Brother Xu Shuo and Miss Lilian, you can each pick one and take it away." ”

"It's... It's embarrassing, we just dropped by to send Miao Zhen back, and we didn't do anything great. ”

Although Xu Shuo shirked on his lips, he was actually very interested in his heart, after all, the Blood Moon Clan was a former noble clan, with a long history and powerful secret arts, and there might be some rare high-end equipment in their treasure vault, such as the sword in the stone.

"Brother Xu Shuo, you're welcome, come on!" The Golden Retriever Lion King waved his hand arrogantly, and he was about to lead Xu Shuo and a few people to the treasure house.

Xu Shuo touched his head, and was about to pretend to be gracious, but Haiqiu on the side stopped him.

"Ahh Haiqiu stepped forward with a flattering smile, "I have a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree." ”

"Tell me?"

"Can you give me some of your blood?" Haiqiu looked at Xu Shuo's eyes at this time as if she was looking at a piece of barbecued pork, she licked her tongue and said, "Actually, I have always wanted to study the blood of the brave. ”

Before Xu Shuo could speak, the Golden Retriever Lion King scolded first.

"Hey, Haiqiu, you're too rude to Brother Xu Shuo like this, aren't you?"

Xu Shuo hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, anyway, the blood thing will regenerate." So how am I going to give it to you? ”

"Wait a minute!" As soon as Haiqiu heard that Xu Shuo agreed, he turned around happily and took out an iron bucket from the corner of the room, "You just let me cut a knife, and then put the blood here, don't worry, I only need half a bucket!" ”

"Half a barrel?!" Xu Shuo looked at the iron bucket that was large enough for one person to embrace, and was so frightened that he hid his hand back, "No, although blood will regenerate, but half a bucket is a bit ......"

"Haiqiu, you guy, do you want to murder the brave?!" The Golden Retriever Lion King raised his eyebrows, snatched the iron bucket from Haiqiu's hand, then took another small cup from the table, and said, "It's half a cup!" ”

"Huh-" Haiqiu showed a disappointed expression.

"What the hell, are you a child?! What a person, and he still doesn't understand the rules! ”

In the end, although reluctant, Haiqiu still used the cup. She first made a small cut in Xu Shuo's hand with a cleaned knife, and then used some unknown skill to make the blood flow from the wound until it filled the cup (yes, although the Golden Retriever Lion King said that she could only ask for half a cup, she still pretended not to hear and took a cup). ）

"It's all right, it's going to be full, don't stop it quickly and help Brother Xu Shuo stop the bleeding!" The Golden Retriever Lion King couldn't stand it anymore.

"Okay, okay, okay." Haiqiu said okay, while holding the cup to her mouth, sipping it slowly, and then like a drunkard who hadn't drunk for a long time finally drank the wine in her heart, she let out a cheerful "ah-" sound, and even unconsciously showed a sweet smile on her face, and after drinking, she put the cup under Xu Shuo's hand again, "A little more." ”

Lilian and the others were dumbfounded, and Xu Shuo was even more speechless.

(Good fellow, what about this infinite refill, am I some kind of humanoid barrel beer?) ）

"Enough, Haiqiu, don't go too far!" The Golden Retriever Lion King said.

Seeing that the patriarch of the Zi family was really angry, Haiqiu took back the cup in a disdainful manner and brought Xu Shuo a medicine to stop the bleeding. After waiting for the hemostatic medicine, Haiqiu couldn't wait to pick up the cup again, took a sip with an intoxicated expression, and admired it while drinking.

"Uh-huh, it's worthy of blessed blood, it's really a unique flavor!"

Xu Shuo felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to use it for research?" ”

"yes, it's being studied right now." Haiqiu smashed his mouth, licked his fingers again, and suddenly frowned, "Lord Brave, although your blood is full of divine taste because you have been blessed, but in addition, I have tasted some bad things. ”

"Bad stuff?" Xu Shuo was stunned.

"Well, it's sacred, but it's fragile, tired, in case I'm mistaken, how old are you?" Haiqiu asked.

"Twenty-two...... Uh, maybe twenty-three? My birthday is December 24th, I don't know what day it is, it may have passed. Xu Shuo said.

"That's right, you're so young, but you have a tired taste in the blood, and this tired taste is usually only found in the blood of the twilight old man. Because of the deterioration of physical functions, the vitality in the blood of the elderly is weakened, so they become turbid and tired. And the brave one, you ......," Haiqiu said, picking up the cup and taking another sip, "Your blood is also very tired, but it is not the same as the fatigue of aging, on the contrary, your blood is full of vitality, and it is far beyond the vitality of ordinary people, this vitality is too full, even beyond the scope of your body to bear." ”

"What do you mean?" Xu Shuo heard it in a fog, "What do you mean by more than my body can bear?" ”

"For example, if you compare the blood of ordinary people to a coolie who can carry a burden of two hundred catties, then your blood is carrying a burden of six hundred catties at the moment, which seems to be very powerful, but in fact it is miserable, as a coolie, the bones of its whole body are creaking at the moment, approaching the limit, as long as some pressure is applied, its leg bones and hand bones may be broken, and then it will fall to the ground, and it will not be able to get up again. Do you understand when I say this, your blood, though full of vitality, is tired and fragile, tired and fragile like those old people who are not alive enough. ”

Hearing this, Lilian and Miao Zhen invariably looked at Xu Shuo with worried eyes.

"Is it not enough vitality...... Ah, I seem to get it. ”

Xu Shuo suddenly reacted, probably because of that forbidden skill, the [Enlightened Contractor].

In order to defeat Rakshasa before, he was forced to use this skill with huge side effects, and as a result, his maximum health was cut by nearly sixty percent, which is likely to be the cause of his blood problems. Thinking about it this way, his agility and strength increased slightly after using skills, while his defense decreased slightly, which was also affected by the [Enlightened Contractor].

Thinking of this, Xu Shuo called up the personal attribute panel and glanced at his attributes.

『Name: Xu Shuo』

Vocation: Thief (Lv. 4)

HP: 723/756 (1800)

『Dexterity: 42』

『Strength: 24』

『Defense: 7』

[Mana: 104/960]

In the health column, 1800 was the maximum amount of health he should have, but now that number is gray.

"Then, does Elder Haiqiu know if there is any way to heal me?" Xu Shuo asked.

Xu Shuo didn't expect much when he asked this sentence, after all, the side effects of this forbidden skill are usually unsolvable. But unexpectedly, Haiqiu nodded.

"There are solutions, and it's simple."

"Really?" Xu Shuo was a little incredulous, "What way?!" ”

"Judging by the state of your blood, you should have made a fateful marriage with our people, right? Just let the one who tied his life to you repair your tired blood at the cost of a portion of your life. Oh no, it can't be repaired, it should be strengthened, your blood strengthened, so that the 'hard laborers' who are responsible for bearing the burden become strong, strong enough to support the weight of six hundred pounds. ”

"At the cost of longevity?" Although he got the solution, this solution made Xu Shuo unhappy, "No, it's a bit ......."

"Don't worry, Lord Brave, it's just a little lifespan, not a life." Haiqiu said and took another sip of the cup, "At this level, the three-year life expectancy should be about the same." ”

"Three years?! That's still it. ”

Xu Shuo shook his head and was about to go out, but Miao Zhen stood up with an awe-inspiring expression and said to Haiqiu: "Elder Haiqiu, I am the one who made a fate knot with Brother Xu Shuo, please tell me what to do!" ”

"Oh? You're the daughter of Patriarch Fu, I remember your name ......"

"Miao Zhen, my name is Miao Zhen."

"Very well, brave boy, then I will tell you ......"

"Stop! Call it a day! Seeing that Haiqiu was going to tell Miao Zhen to use the method of life knot, Xu Shuo hurriedly pulled Miao Zhen away, and then said to Haiqiu in a tough tone: "Don't tell her, I'm fine like this now, it doesn't matter if I don't strengthen it." With that, he pushed Miao Zhen out of the cave, "Okay, okay, let's go to the treasure vault, I can't wait to see what treasures the Blood Moon Clan has." ”

"Brother Xu Shuo!" Miao Zhen broke free of Xu Shuo's hand, turned around and looked at Xu Shuo, his immature face was full of stubbornness, "What can I do if I am sick and not cured, I know that Brother Xu Shuo, you feel sorry for me." But I don't care, as long as Brother Xu Shuo is healthy, it doesn't matter if it's three years or three hundred years! ”

"Mmmmmm, thank you for your concern, I understand the kindness, but you Brother Xu Shuo and I are not sick and healthy, so there is no need to worry, okay? Alright, let's go. Xu Shuo didn't care what Miao Zhen said, took her hand and continued to walk out.

"I don't want it!" Miao Zhen said while trying to pull her hand out of Xu Shuo's hand, but Xu Shuo held it very tightly and didn't give her a chance to break free at all, even if she leaned her whole body back and her feet off the ground, Miao Zhen couldn't break free from Xu Shuo's confinement, she was so anxious that she shouted at Haiqiu: "Elder Haiqiu, tell me quickly!" ”

But Haiqiu just smiled bitterly and didn't mean to speak.

Seeing this, Miao Zhen put the target back on Xu Shuo.

"Brother Xu Shuo, what's the matter, it's only been three years, I'm still very young!"

Xu Shuo was unmoved, "You are not only young, you are young at all, you don't know how heavy three years are, you can do a lot of things in three years, you can make a lot of money, eat a lot of food, see a lot of beautiful scenery, you can fall in love with someone and start a family, create a lot of good memories, even if you don't do anything, you can quietly feel the passage of time, and recall your life in the twilight of your life!" ”

"But I want to spend this time on Brother Xu Shuo, if you only use three years of life, you can cure Brother Xu Shuo......"

Without waiting for Miao Zhen to finish speaking, Xu Shuo directly interrupted her.

"Spend your own time, I don't need your time. Besides, I'm not suffering from a terminal illness that will die if I can't be treated, but I just used a certain skill so I took some side effects, as long as I don't use that skill in the future, there won't be any problems. That's the end of the topic, and I'm going to be angry if I say it again. ”
