Afternoon.

In the middle of Blood Raven Island, the top of the sacred mountain.

André wore the lord's armor and slowly came to this place.

It was cold in the heights, and the cold wind howled, blowing his white hair, and making his black cloak hunt.

"Goo, goo-goo-"

Several blue pterosaurs with four wings on their backs hovered in the air, making strange chirps.

Andre ignored the guards of the Great Witch Wish, but went straight to the door of the Great Witch Wish's wooden house, and then bent his legs and knelt directly in front of the door.

“……”

Silent silence.

Gradually, snow began to fall in the sky, and one snowflake after another fell on Andrei's shoulders.

Andrei still bowed his head and knelt in front of the door.

"Alas......"

Time passed, and it was not until night fell and Andre's body was covered with a thick layer of snow that a sigh was heard from inside the wooden house.

"Squeak-"

The wooden door slowly opened.

Da Wu Zhu, dressed in a black robe, stood at the door, looking at Andre kneeling outside the door, his cloudy red eyes were full of complex emotions, both relieved and sad.

"Da Wu Zhu, you know what I mean."

Andre's eyelashes stained with snowflakes trembled slightly, he raised his eyes to look at the old man in front of him, and said with a smile: "Please, please give me the blood of the holy crow, I must defeat the Blood Bear Lord, this battle will be the battle I really king, I must win, and I have to win incomparably!" ”

"Even if you only have the last half a year to live?" Da Wu Zhu's voice was hoarse.

"The meaning of life is not about length."

Andre grinned and said loudly: "In this life, I just want to be vigorous and live a wonderful life!" I want future generations to remember my name and remember my deeds! I, Andre Ominkus Ray Keelman, will lead the islanders back to the interior and to their homeland in the name of 'King'! ”

“……”

The Great Witch wishes to be silent.

"Please, please help me!"

Andrei knelt on the ground, his gaze getting hotter.

"Alas......"

Da Wu Zhu sighed heavily and said, "Andre, in fact, that day, I lied. ”

"Huh?"

Andrei was stunned.

"The pictures of the future that I saw through the prophetic dream before were actually not six, but seven." Da Wu Zhu said with a complicated expression, "There is a future picture, I hid it at the time, and I didn't tell you to be with that one, because this future picture is related to you, Andre." ”

"What is it?"

Andrei hurriedly asked.

"Raven's blood."

Da Wu Zhu raised his head, looked at the clouds and mist on the horizon, and sighed: "I see, I personally handed over the blood of the holy crow to the ......."

"Hahahaha!"

When Andre heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, "Great Wu Zhu, your prediction ability is really accurate!" ”

“……”

Da Wu Zhu's eyes were full of sadness, and he couldn't laugh at all.

"Don't do that, Great Witch."

Andre smiled slightly, and said softly: "People will eventually die, I don't want to do nothing for a lifetime, and then die in bed, if I can choose, I would rather be like a meteor, have a short but wonderful life, this is my choice, and you, also foresaw this choice, some of the future to change, but some of the future, just let it happen, Da Wu Zhu." ”

"Alas......"

Da Wu Zhu stretched out his right hand, rubbed Andre's white hair, and sighed: "But, more than the splendor of a meteor, I would like to see you live happily on the island, marry a gentle and virtuous wife, give birth to a bunch of naughty big fat boys, and then, like your father did back then, choose the most naughty one among them, send it to me, and let me raise him as an adult......."

"Forget it, forget it." Andre smiled and waved his hand, "That kind of life is really a bit boring, it's not what I want, Dawu Zhu, I have made up my mind, please give me the blood of the holy crow, let me pursue the life I want!" ”

"You ......"

Da Wu Zhu looked at the determined gaze in Andre's eyes, and stopped talking for a while, but finally sighed, turned around, and returned to the wooden house, "Then, follow me......"

"Yes!"

Andrei suddenly looked overjoyed, and hurriedly got up to follow the old man.

Dawu Zhu walked to the innermost room of the wooden house, and with a wave of his hand, the animal skin blanket on the ground automatically rolled up, revealing a floor door sealed by magic.

"Buzz!"

The Great Witch Zhu cast a spell to unlock the magic seal, then waved open the floor door and walked straight down the stone staircase.

Andrey followed.

It's pitch black all the way.

Silence all the way.

Eventually, they walked up the stairs and into a wide cavern.

As far as the eye can see, there are purple-blue points of light everywhere that flicker, and if you look closely, you can see that these spots of light are really creatures that resemble fireflies.

But what caught Andre's attention the most was not these glowing bugs.

It's the corpse at the end of the cavern.

Judging from the shape of the skull, it should be the remains of some kind of giant bird, only the skull is exposed, and more of the skeleton is buried deep in the mountain, hidden by rocks, and its full view cannot be seen.

But just its skull is comparable to a palace for Andrei.

It's hard to imagine how huge this giant bird was when it was alive.

“……”

Andre looked at the huge giant bird's skull in a trance.

When he was a child, he heard the story of this place from Da Wuzhu.

Legend has it that a long, long time ago, before the Blood Demon invaders arrived in their world, there lived a giant bird with wings in the sky, called the "Holy Crow", which was a kilometer long, comparable to a mountain peak, and could cover the entire sky with its wings spread.

But in the end, under the heavy hunt of the Blood Demon invaders, the crow was extinct.

Legend has it that after its death, its feathers and flesh turned into peaks, forming a sacred mountain, covering its bones, and the blood in its body flowed out, turning into many streams and lakes on Blood Raven Island.

After that, the years changed.

A flock of seabirds came to the island and settled halfway up the mountain, and over time, the birds, touched by the breath of the holy crow, became blood crows.

As for the ancestors of the Blood Raven Tribe, they came to this island after that.

At that time, the ancestors' ship was destroyed by a sea beast and forced to drift to the island, and to make matters worse, the sea beast would also spew a poisonous mist, which made all the ancestors tricked, so after the ancestors landed on the island, they could only lie on the beach in despair, waiting for death to come.

The terrible toxin made them not even have the strength to stand up.

But in the end, it was the Blood Raven who saved them.

A large number of blood crows flew from the sacred mountain, bringing them fruits and herbs to detoxify the poison, saving the lives of the ancestors.

So, in order to commemorate the kindness of these blood crows, the ancestors settled on the island, and also named the tribe "blood crows", and since then, the blood crow tribe has lived and lived together on this island.

To this day, everyone in the Blood Raven tribe, when they are born, will attract a blood crow mother to give to their cubs, and the blood crow people will grow up and grow old with these companion blood crows.

Legends always have a mythological tinge.

This legend is somewhat true and a little false, so I won't mention it for the time being, but at least the huge size of the crow in the story can be seen just by the giant skeleton in front of Andrei.

“……”

Under the leadership of the Great Wu Zhu, Andre slowly came to the front of the Holy Crow's skull.

The small bodies of the two formed a stark body difference with the huge skull of the holy crow, which was comparable to that of a palace.

"Meet the Raven!"

Facing the giant bird's skull, the Great Witch Zhu knelt down with a reverent expression, grabbed the ground with his head, and bowed hard.

"Meet the Raven!"

Andrei then bowed.

After the two finished their visit, they did not stand up, but continued to kneel in front of the crow's skull.

"Andrey ......"

Da Wu Zhu looked at this child who he had brought up since he was a child, and said softly with complex eyes: "The blood of the holy crow, of course, can make you break the upper limit of your physical body and engrave more sacrificial patterns to bless, but at the same time, it will also overdraw your vitality, so that you only have less than half a year to live, I will ask you one last time, have you really thought about it?" ”

"Of course!"

Andrei smiled brightly.

"So, as you wish!"

Great Wu Zhu gritted his teeth, as if he had made up some kind of determination, stood up, put the palm of his right hand on the surface of the Holy Crow's skull, and said in a low voice: "Great Holy Crow, please give this child your holy blood......

"Boom!"

With that, the Great Witch Zhu's body erupted with surging magic, first converging on his right palm, and finally instilling into the skull of the Holy Crow.

Immediately after, with his palm as the center, blood-red lines began to appear on the surface of the crow's skull, and the closer to his palm, the brighter the lines became, and there was a faint golden luster, as if something was being extracted from the crow's skull.

This process lasted about half an hour.

ultimately

"Ugh!"

Da Wu Zhu suddenly withdrew his right hand, stumbling on his feet, and almost fell to the ground.

"Great Witch Wish!"

Seeing this, Andre quickly stood up from the ground and stepped forward to support the old man.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Da Wu Zhu shook his head slightly, then stretched out his right hand in front of Andre and spread his palm.

I saw that above his palm, a drop of golden blood was suspended at this time.

"It worked."

Great Wu Zhu lowered his eyes, looked at this drop of golden blood, and said softly: "I successfully activated the remains of the Holy Crow with magic power, and it also responded to my prayer and gave me a drop of Holy Blood, so Andre ...... Next, it's up to you.

If nothing else, this drop of Raven's blood should be able to break the upper limit of your body's sacrificial patterns, allowing you to inscribe 10 more sacrificial patterns to bless, and your original upper limit of sacrificial patterns is 96, and if you add these 10, it will be 106 sacrificial patterns......"

"And the number of sacrificial emblems of the Blood Bear Lord is 99."

Andre took over the conversation and said in a deep voice: "At that time, I, who have 7 more sacrificial patterns than him, will definitely be able to successfully kill him, conquer all the islanders in one fell swoop, and gain enough people's hearts!" After that, I will integrate the forces of all the tribes of the Demon Sea, counterattack the interior, and destroy the Holy See! Believe me, the day when our islanders return to their homeland is not far away! ”

"Well, let's go, go back to the house, and I'll inscribe a new sacrificial crest for you."

Da Wu Zhu had mixed feelings in his heart, took a step, followed the road he came, and turned back towards the wooden house.

Andrey followed.
