"Then let me find it alone."

Facing Tang Haoyuan's doubts, Catherine smiled slightly and said, "In order to avoid Miss Liu Jingyun's conspiracy, I will not take Miss Liu Jingyun and Miss Daisy to the blood pool, so as not to do anything wrong with them."

In the same way, in order to avoid Joshua's conspiracy, I will not take my master to the pool of blood, lest Joshua exert any influence on his master there.

After all, the master has both the power of blood demons and the power of heart demons in his body, and the compatibility with Joshua, who is a blood demon and a half-breed of heart demons, is too high, and even I suspect that this physical condition of the master is very likely to be the key to lifting the seal of the blood pool, so the master must not get close to the blood pool.

As for why I went looking for it, it's simple.

I am a succubus knight at the peak of the fourth order, and I have also opened the true demon form, in terms of combat power, there is no one stronger than me in the audience, even if you look at the entire blood crow tribe, it is estimated that Lord Andre is only one person who can steadily defeat me.

But the problem is that Andre is a half-demon and also has blood demon blood in his body, so for the sake of safety, it is best for him not to go near the blood pool.

So it can only be me.

I'm a purebred succubus, and I have nothing to do with the Blood Demon clan.

I know it's still risky.

But we can't find a plan that doesn't have the slightest risk.

So, leaving me alone to find the blood pool is the least risky plan.

Besides, I am the guardian knight of my master, and in order to ensure the safety of my master, of course I must be the first to rush forward!

As for you, Irena. ”

Catherine said this, looked at Irena beside her, and said seriously: "When I am not there, you must be with Xiao Wan to protect the master well, and you must not let him get hurt, you know?" ”

"Huh?!"

When Irena heard this, she immediately became worried, and reached out and grabbed her sleeve tightly, "But, but this is too dangerous, if you go alone, what if you are attacked and killed by Wei Xiuwen's gang of aliens?" Can you carry it alone? ”

"Of course." Catherine smiled lightly, "I'm the peak of the fourth order, this is the life level ceiling of the Hanhai Realm, so in this world, even if there are beings stronger than me, the strength is limited, everyone is at the same level, no matter how strong it is, how strong can it be?" Anyway, even if I can't beat it, it's no problem to escape, don't worry. ”

"What if people don't go with you?"

Qi Lin stretched out his hands, grabbed Catherine's face, turned her face towards him, and then said seriously: "What if more than a dozen fourth-order peaks come out to besiege you?" So how do you run? ”

"I ......"

Catherine looked at Qi Lin, who was close at hand, and blinked her pale golden eyes, and she didn't know how to answer.

Of course she knew that.

She just didn't want her master to worry too much.

"It's too dangerous, you can't."

Qi Lin hugged the succubus female knight tightly in his arms and said in a deep voice: "It can't be like this, it can't be ......"

"However, let me go to the blood pool alone, this is already the least risky way."

Catherine hugged Qi Lin's waist with her backhand, pressed her face to his chest, and said softly: "If you sit idly by and ignore this matter and let that person continue to pry the blood pool seal, then once Joshua is released, the master has a great chance of being killed by Joshua's revenge."

And I'll die with it.

Remember? Master, when I signed the contract with you, I used our succubus knight's life oath, under the effect of the life oath, once you die, I will also be buried with you, after all, the guardian knight will either die for the master, or die with the master.

So, even for my own life, I'll have to go to the blood pool to see how it's going, so let's go and find the blood pool, master, okay? ”

"I ......"

Qi Lin was speechless for a while.

yes, he just remembered it.

Under the effect of the oath of life, as soon as he died, Catherine had to die.

So now is not the time to be hypocritical, a decision must be made.

"Wait."

Qi Lin looked at Catherine in his arms and said, "I know, this matter must be resolved, but to be on the safe side, you must become stronger before you hit the road, otherwise you will be assassinated by an alien race on the road, and nothing will be solved." ”

"How else can I get stronger?" Catherine was a little confused, "My life level is already the ceiling of the Hanhai Realm." ”

"And Xiaosoft." Qi Lin said with a smile, "Don't forget, it doesn't have magic power in its body, and it can ignore this so-called ceiling and be promoted to the fifth order, and when it reaches the fifth order, you can wear it to leave the Blood Raven Tribe, at that time, under its fifth-order defense, even if that group of aliens plays group fighting, it is estimated that they will not be able to break your defense." ”

"That's right."

Catherine nodded slightly, but there was still a slight hesitation between her eyebrows, "It's just that if you wait like this, you don't know if the time will come, and God knows when Joshua will get out of trouble?" What's more, the Demon Sea is quite large, and if you want to find a blood pool in this area, even if you have Joshua's hair to locate it, it will take a long time. ”

"Again."

Qi Lin stretched out his hand and pinched Catherine's face, and said seriously: "You set out to find the blood pool to solve this matter, but if you are assassinated by an alien race on the road, then nothing can be solved, so you have to wait, when Xiao Soft will be promoted to the fifth order, and when will you set off again, this matter is not negotiable." ”

"yes, I see."

Catherine nodded again.

This matter is indeed such a reason, she has no reason to continue to refute, as Qi Lin said, if she dies halfway because of lack of combat strength, then nothing can be solved.

"Actually, sometimes, you can also believe in luck."

Tang Haoyuan stood next to him and said with a chuckle: "Don't be too nervous, since the plan has been decided, then relax and follow the planned process, and, take 10,000 steps back, the specific situation of this matter is still uncertain, perhaps, the vibration reaction of the box, it is really just a conspiracy illusion deliberately created by Liu Jingyun or Joshua, in fact, no one is prying the blood pool seal at all?" ”

"That's it!"

Irena also took Qi Lin and Catherine's hands, and echoed with a smile: "Think about it carefully, we have always had good luck, especially Qi Lin, when he summoned the demon soldier for the first time, he summoned the rarest and most unphased demon soldier.

Later, a magic soldier is summoned, which is also an extremely rare mimic magic soldier, which is a symbol of luck! We've been with Qi Lin all the way, and we haven't encountered anything unlucky at all...... Forehead ......"

As she spoke, Irena couldn't stop laughing.

Qi Lin and the others were also silent.

Good luck along the way?

Didn't encounter anything unlucky?

But in fact, since stepping into the spatial rift of the Hanhai Realm, Qi Lin can be said to have been unlucky, which can be called terrible.

First of all, in the spatial crack, Wei Xiuwen, a group of alien spies, made a teleportation error, and fell to the dangerous Death Kirist Island, if it wasn't for Andre to arrive, they would have died on that island.

Later, he followed Andre to the Bloodfire Island to pick flowers, but because of this trip to the island, he was entangled by Joshua.

And now, Joshua's blood pool seal is suspected to be being pried into, once Joshua is out of trouble, it is difficult for others to say what the situation is, but he will most likely suffer.

Summary: These days in the Hanhai Realm are definitely not good luck, and they are completely riddled with bad luck.

"Alright, so be it."

Qi Lin waved his hand, no longer thinking about "lucky" or "unlucky", and turned to Tang Haoyuan, Liu Jingyun, and Daisy and said: "This matter is discussed here, the matter of the blood pool seal will be resolved according to what Catherine and I just said, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

"Well, let's go."

Tang Haoyuan immediately took a step forward and walked towards the door of the room.

"This is leaving?"

Daisy looked at his back and said helplessly: "Instructor Tangyuan, when will you let us out?" Isn't it okay for us not to leave the attic area? It's boring to stay in this small room all day long. ”

"It's stuffy?"

Tang Haoyuan stopped, glanced back at the green-haired female elf, and then looked at Liu Jingyun again, "Do you also feel bored?" ”

"Definitely." Liu Jingyun nodded, "If you stay in this small room all day long, you will definitely feel bored." ”

"Okay."

Tang Haoyuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll solve this problem of yours, after all, I'm not an iron-faced and ruthless person." ”

"Really?"

Liu Jingyun and Daisy both had bright eyes.

"Of course it's true."

After Tang Haoyuan said that, he raised his hand to pinch the seal, releasing two dark green streamers, which escaped into the eyebrows of Liu Jingyun and Daisy respectively.

And then

"Bang."

"Bang."

The two women fell in response.

Liu Jingyun and Daisy both fell to the ground and fell into a coma.

- Magic: Sleep.

"Then go to sleep, you won't be bored when you fall asleep."

Tang Haoyuan's face was expressionless, and with a wave of his hand, two whirlwind currents were condensed, holding up the two sleeping girls, moving them to the bed to lie down, and even intimately using object control techniques to pull the futon on the bed over and cover their bellies.

When you sleep, you must cover your belly.

"Forehead ......"

Seeing this, Qi Lin didn't know what to say for a while.

"Actually, I've wanted to do this for a long time."

Tang Haoyuan and Qi Lin passed by, and walked straight to the door, "House arrest is still not safe enough, these two people are still in a coma The most reassuring, you don't have to worry, I will always pay attention to their status." ”

"Hmm."

Qi Lin nodded slightly, took the little hands of Irena and Catherine, followed behind Tang Haoyuan, and left this room together, or rather, this house arrest room sealed by magic.

……

……

Time is in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, another three days passed.

In the past three days, there has been no major change in the box where Joshua's hair is stored, it still vibrates and glows for a few seconds every few tens of seconds, and the changes are quite regular.

As for Qi Lin in the past three days, it was through the breeding of those black blood spider queens that they gained more than 300,000 experience points, upgraded 13 levels, and obtained 13 attribute points.

[XP: 1379/26300]

[Remaining Attribute Points: 19]

But that's not the point.

The point is that in the middle of the night on the third day, the team sent by Andrei to raid the Blue Shark tribe a few days ago returned.

These fighters successfully brought back a large amount of goods, which can be described as a lot of harvest.

These goods also include several large boxes of spotted bluebloodstone, the quantity of which fully meets the upgrade needs of the mimic demon soldiers, and even far exceeds, and after the old blacksmith got the goods, under Qi Lin's request, he didn't even sleep, and began to make mimic demon soldier upgrade materials overnight.

But at the same time, the fighters also brought back an incredibly terrible news.

- The base camp of the Blue Shark Tribe, on Blue Shark Island, there is not a single living person.

……

……

Late at night, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

Lord's longhouse.

A warm white ball of light hovers in the air, illuminating the entire hall of the longhouse.

At this time, more than a dozen high-ranking members of the Blood Raven Tribe, including Andre and Com, gathered in this place and sat around a long table, all with solemn expressions.

And Qi Lin, Irena, Catherine, and Tang Haoyuan were also invited by Andre to participate in this emergency tribal meeting.

"Now, let me retell you the ins and outs of the whole thing."

Andre sat on the main seat of the long table, looked at the people around him, and said in a deep voice: "Just now, Adalaide led the team back.

Six days ago, I sent Adalaide to Blue Shark Island with a team of warriors and ordered him to raid the Blue Shark Tribe, in order to wash away the humiliation suffered by our Blood Raven Tribe last year due to the Blue Shark Lord's proposal.

As a result, after Adalaide led the team to land on the island three days ago, he found that there were no half living people on the entire Blue Shark Island, and there were no traces of fighting, as if all the Blue Shark people had migrated away.

Everyone should know that Blue Shark Island is located in the deepest part of the Demon Sea, and its geographical location is already remote, and almost no one will go there.

Although the materials on Blue Shark Island are relatively scarce, with the Kneeling and Licking Blood Bear Tribe, they rely on the Blue Blood Stone to trade with the Blood Bear Tribe all year round, and obtain sufficient materials from the Blood Bear Tribe, and they hardly need to trade with other tribes on weekdays, so they rarely go out.

Because of this, the outside world rarely sees the whereabouts of the Blue Shark Tribe, even if it is a few months in a row, it is normal not to see the ships of the Blue Shark Tribe.

So for a short time, no one will notice the disappearance of the Blue Shark people.

However, the problem is that all kinds of supplies on Blue Shark Island are still there.

All kinds of resources, including ships, weapons, food, and bluestone, were not taken away, and they were all left on the island, which was obviously not a manifestation of the migration of the people to the island.

Adalaide also said that among the large number of houses in the Blue Shark Walled City, they found that they had not had time to finish the meal, and all kinds of plates and things were still left on the table.

So I think that the Blue Shark people should have been gathered together and taken away by the lord or the Great Witch Zhu at a certain time of dinner, and the incident happened suddenly, and many Blue Shark people left their homes before they even had time to finish eating.

But this time, they never came back.

According to the judgment of Adalaide and others, the food in the homes of those Blue Shark tribesmen is probably less than ten days away from today, that is to say, the people of the Blue Shark tribe are very likely to have disappeared collectively ten days ago.

When Adalaide discovered this strange situation, he searched the island.

Eventually, they followed a large footprint into the deepest part of a spotted blue-blooded cavern.

Judging from the footprints, the more than 3,000 clansmen of the Blue Shark tribe are very likely to have entered the deepest part of this mine in the end, but the footprints were broken in the deepest part of the mine, and there were only footprints in the cave, but no footprints in the cave.

There was nothing in the mine, only a strong aura of magic, but Adalaide couldn't tell what kind of magic was left behind.

Eventually, Adalaide, who had found nothing, was ready to lead the team away.

But at this moment, one of the soldiers under his command suddenly found a ...... caught in a small crack on the side of the road Forehead...... Bead? That's it, Adalaide just gave it to me, you all have a look. ”

With this, André took out a small blood-red bead from his bosom and placed it on the long table in front of him for everyone to see.

“……”

More than a dozen high-ranking members of the Blood Raven Tribe cast their eyes one after another.

Qi Lin and Tang Haoyuan also looked over.

I saw that this small bead was extremely round, blood red all over, with a smooth texture of a glass ball, and if you look closely, you can also find some small white dots inside the bead.

"What is this?"

"It smells bloody."

"What's that little white dot inside?"

"Hell knows, I can't even tell the red beads out there."

"It stinks, it smells fishy, like a rotting corpse."

“……”

More than a dozen high-ranking members of the Blood Raven Tribe exchanged heads and talked in low voices.

Qi Lin and Tang Haoyuan also glanced at each other, both puzzled.

They didn't see what the bead was.

"Huh?"

At this time, Irena looked at the blood-red beads on the table, but was slightly stunned, "I—I seem to have seen this thing." ”

"Huh?!"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Are you sure?" Qi Lin hurriedly looked at Irena, "Where have you seen this?" ”

"Well, in a book." Irena replied with a strange expression, "When I was a child, maybe nine years old, right?" The old chief brought back a book from outside, which recorded a lot of hellish food, and I remember that the 17th food was the court food of the Blood Demon Royal Clan, a thing called the 'Blood Sacrifice Bead'. ”

"Hmmm......"

Irene said this, raised her hand to release the telekinesis technique, took the small blood-red bead on the table, put it in her hand, and looked at it several times, "And this bead looks very similar to the illustration of the blood sacrifice bead on that book."

In particular, these little white dots on the inside of the beads are exactly like the illustrations.

The book says that the Blood Demon Clan's Blood Sacrifice Bead Delicacies are cooked through a special magic.

The chef of the Blood Demon Royal Clan will use magic to forcibly miniaturize a living creature into this kind of small bead, and the red part of the blood sacrifice bead is the flesh and blood of the creature, and the small white dots inside the bead are the bones of the creature.

The book says that this kind of blood sacrifice bead was not actually called this name at first, it was originally called appetizer beads, and as the name suggests, it appeared on their table as an appetizer for the blood demon royal family.

Later, this blood sacrifice bead spread more and more widely.

To this day, many subordinate races of the Blood Demon Clan will use the Blood Sacrifice Bead as a sacrifice to offer gifts to their Blood Demon Clan superiors or something, because they are all used as sacrifices, so over time, this kind of appetizing bead is also called the Blood Sacrifice Bead...... Uh, why do you all look at me with this expression? ”

When Irena said this, she suddenly found that the eyes of everyone around her were extremely solemn.

"Blood Sacrifice Bead ......"

Andre looked at Irena and frowned, "You mean, this bead we brought back from the Blue Shark Tribe is most likely a blood sacrifice bead made from living creatures?" ”

"Just try it."

Irena said, and raised the small blood-red bead in her hand, "The book says that after the blood sacrifice bead is smashed, it will expand rapidly and become the normal size of the raw materials of the blood sacrifice bead, including bones and other things, so if you want to know if this is a blood sacrifice bead, just smash it." ”

"Then smash!"

Andrei directly agreed to this approach.

"Oh."

Irena looked at the wooden floor on the other side, and then threw the blood-red bead in her hand vigorously.

"Smack!"

The blood beads fell to the ground with a crisp sound of glass balls shattering, and then quickly exploded, turning into a large pool of dark red blood, which was spread on the ground, and the blood was mixed with a large amount of white bones.

"I'll see."

An elderly physician from the Blood Raven Tribe stepped forward, crouched next to the blood, reached out and rummaged through it, picking out a dozen bones one after another for examination.

And the more he turned it, the more ugly his face became.

In the end, the old doctor picked up a few pieces of blood-stained white bones and put them together, and then looked at Andre with a gloomy face, "Lord, these bones are all broken human bones, judging from the pelvic fragments I put together, the deceased should be a young girl under the age of 10!" ”

“！”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar!

More than a dozen high-ranking members of the Blood Raven Tribe all looked shocked.

“……”

Andre sat on the main seat, supported his forehead with one hand, and after a moment of silence, he slowly spoke in a hoarse voice: "So, more than 3,000 clansmen of the Blue Shark tribe left the city en masse ten days ago, and Adalaide traced the footprints and finally found a mine.

But in the mine, there was no trace of half of the Blue Shark Clan, only a blood sacrifice bead that fell in the crack on the side of the road......

So, can we now come up with such a possibility?

That is, the more than 3,000 clansmen of the Blue Shark tribe were all taken into blood sacrifices by a mysterious person, and they became more than 3,000 blood sacrifice beads, and the one we just smashed was too small because it was made by a young girl, so the beads were too small and accidentally fell into the cracks on the side of the road, resulting in being missed by the mysterious person who sacrificed them alive and did not take it away? ”

"Bang!"

As soon as the words fell, an old blood crow high-ranking person slapped the table and roared: "Holy See! It must be the Holy See!! Only those dog mongrels would do such cruel things to us islanders!! ”

"Yes!"

"That's right!"

"It must have been done by those dog mongrels of the Holy See!"

Several old men echoed one after another, all of them filled with righteous indignation and anger.

"The Holy See? Maybe. ”

Tang Haoyuan was well aware of the enmity between the islanders and the Holy See, so he didn't refute it, but just said softly: "But, everyone, you also heard it just now, Irena said that this is a blood sacrifice bead, and the current use of the blood sacrifice bead is usually used by the subordinate races of the Blood Demon Clan as a sacrifice to give gifts to their own Blood Demon Clan superiors, and is it necessary for the Holy See to do this?" For them, it is normal to kill the islanders directly, and this kind of sacrifice does not seem to be quite like what the Holy See will do. ”

"This ......"

"Seems to make sense......"

"The Holy See really won't make such trouble......"

Tang Haoyuan's words immediately calmed down many angry blood crow executives.

"Blood Bear Tribe!"

Andre slowly stood up and said in a deep voice: "There are no traces of battle on Blue Shark Island, which means that they did not make any resistance before being sacrificed by blood, but voluntarily went to that pit, so why did they go there en masse?"

It can only be the order of the Blue Shark Lord or the Blue Shark Witch.

But as a lord and a great witch, how could he do such a cruel act to his own family?

Unless, the real mastermind behind the scenes, is an outsider!

The Blood Bear Tribe is the master of the Blue Shark Tribe, if the Blood Bear Tribe comes and asks the Blue Shark Lord to summon everyone to the mine, then the Blue Shark Lord will definitely not be able to refuse, so he can only do so, and after arriving at the mine, the people of the Blood Bear Tribe can easily carry out collective pit killing, and the more than 3,000 people of the Blue Shark Tribe will be sacrificed to blood, and the collective will become a blood sacrifice bead!

That's my guess.

I also need proof.

Zangwill! ”

When Andre said this, he turned his head to look at a strong man present, "Go check!" I want to know if the Blood Bear Tribe has sent people to Blue Shark Island in the last two months! ”

"You don't have to look it up." The strong man said in a deep voice, "Lord, twenty-five days ago, the Blood Bear Tribe did send a fleet to Blue Shark Island, nominally to make a transaction, but according to my spy report, that fleet was 18 people when it went, and when it came back, it was only 17 people.

In other words, there is a person who has stayed on Blue Shark Island since then!

And that person is none other than Siddesya of the Blood Bear Tribe, the woman who is the best at magic in the Blood Bear Tribe! With her powerful magic ability, as long as she arranged the magic array trap in the mine in advance, then she wanted to solve everyone in the Blue Shark tribe in an instant, which could be said to be extremely simple! ”

"Well, it's almost certain."

When Andre heard this, his brows became tighter and tighter, and he was puzzled: "The one who carried out the blood sacrifice of more than 3,000 people from the Blue Shark Tribe and collectively turned into blood sacrifice beads is the Blood Bear Tribe!" However, if the Blood Sacrifice Bead is a sacrifice to the Blood Demon Clan, then the Blood Bear Tribe does not hesitate to make such a cruel act that is indignant to people and gods, and to whom is it to pay tribute? ”

"Huh?!"

Qi Lin and Tang Haoyuan looked at each other, and their faces changed slightly.

As the number one tribe in the Demon Sea, who else can they offer to?

There is almost only one answer.

The remnant soul of the eighth-order Great Demon who was sealed under the blood pool - Joshua!
