In the Terran Federation, in the secret magic research room, many magicians wearing white magic robes gathered in front of a huge blood-red crystal at this time;

"Well, what kind of element is contained in this crystal?"

"Not the elements we know so far, we suspect that a new elemental force has been born. ”

"So can we control this element, and is there any danger?"

"Experiments have already been done, except for the first generation of extracted objects, while increasing their strength, they will lose their minds and be extremely aggressive, whether they are swordsmen, magicians or magical beasts, after absorbing the extracted crystals, they will improve their body strength!"

"So, what about the spiritual aspect?"

"There is no change, and after being absorbed, the elemental power in this crystal disappears!"

Hearing this, a magician who had been silently on the side suddenly said, "Could this only be applicable to one material for physical body ascension, similar to medicinal materials like Iron Bone Grass and Sword Star Grass?"

When these words came out, all the magicians present fell into deep thought, and suddenly a voice came from the door, "Don't doubt, the energy contained in this crystal is a special blood, which has the help of all cultivators to improve their physical bodies!"

As the voice became clearer and clearer, Hogg's figure appeared in the research room, and the magicians who were originally in the magic room all looked very respectful when they saw Hogg, and called in unison, "You are here, Archmage Hogg." ”

"Well, I've already researched the 'blood corpses' that were sent first, and the elemental energy contained in their bodies is a special energy contained in this red gem in front of you. ”

"So, Archmage Hogg, I wonder if this energy will become a newly born magical element?"

Hearing the question from the magician in front of him, Hogg didn't answer it directly, but pondered, and after a while, turned to them

"It is unknown whether this sudden appearance of blood-colored energy can become a magic element, but what we can know now is that the blood-colored energy in its original form is attached to people or demonic beasts through parasitism.

These parasitic creatures eventually become what we call blood corpses, and after becoming blood corpses, their physical strength will be greatly improved, and they will be in a state of death, without spiritual will;

In such a state, a huge red crystal will gradually form in their body, which is the piece you see in front of your eyes, and I don't think I need to say much about the next thing. ”

Hearing Hogg's research on the 'Blood Corpse' and the explanation of the red crystal, in fact, all the magicians present knew the secret, and even some of them had already tried the power increase brought by this crystal.

"Now that research has reached this point, how are we going to explain it all to the Federation, the Mercenary Union, and the Church?"

Hearing this, Hogg couldn't help but laugh, "Hehe, maybe they knew all this before us, I heard that this red crystal has begun to circulate among the nobles." ”

As soon as Hogg's words came out, all the magicians present instantly exploded,

"How is this possible, hasn't our institute been under secret protection all along?"

"I seem to have heard that there are a lot of broken red crystals on the black market now, although they are not big, but the number is indeed very large, and the price is very expensive, and the finger-sized crystals will be sold for 5,000 spirit sources. ”

"What, so expensive?"

When the price of the blood crystal was told by one of the magicians, the other people had more or less surprised expressions on their faces, you know, the most extravagant thing on the Apocalypse Continent at the moment is none other than magic liquid.

The price of the magic liquid is expensive, but also because of its high failure rate in the refining process, the refining is complicated, and most of the people who use it are noble magicians or nobles, of course, they don't worry about the price, but now the crystal stone has a faint tendency to catch up with the magic liquid.

Thinking of this, all the magicians, when they looked at the huge blood-colored crystal in the middle, there was a greedy look in their eyes, but Hogg only coughed lightly, and a wave of spiritual thoughts scattered, awakening all these magicians;

"This piece of blood-colored crystal, you don't have to pay attention to it, we still need it for the next research, after all, we don't have any free materials to study in the future. ”

After feeling Hogg's spiritual power, these magicians immediately dispelled those thoughts in their hearts, and then heard Hogg's words reveal a bombshell news, there are no free materials in the future?

Before they could ask questions, Hogg had already left, and next, he wanted to extract the blood-colored energy from the blood-colored crystals to draw the inscription and see if it had any strange effects.

All the magicians realized that perhaps the effect of the blood crystals had already been known to other forces and merchants, after all, the most special profession in the Federation was magicians, but the threshold for magicians was too high, and the decisive role in the Federation was still a large number of adventurers-swordsmen.

The effect of blood crystals is just the icing on the cake for magicians, but it is not so simple for swordsmen, which also represents the birth of a new economic chain, and those merchant groups will definitely not let go of this big cake.

Thinking of this, all the magicians present began to leave one after another, and in the end, only huge blood-colored crystals shone in this research room.

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

In the Rock Forest, the craze brought about by the Crimson Mission showed no signs of abating, and mercenary groups from all over the continent began to come to the Rock Forest one after another, and began to hunt down the blood corpses and the Crimson Demon Beasts.

At this time, in the Chiyan Mountain Range, in the newly built Chiyan Guild-Chiyan Branch,

In the guild, many mercenary groups gathered in the guild who were waiting for the bulletin board to announce the latest mission, and at the same time began to chat.

"Hello, may I ask which mercenary group are they all from, we are the snow leopard mercenary group from the northern ice and snow plain, my name is Osay, I'm late, I see that there are a lot of mercenaries here now, and the crimson mission should have been completed. ”

The question was asked by a mercenary dressed in a white wolf skin, with three scratches on his eyes, and it looked like a long time had passed, and the subjects of the questioning were Old Mo and Lord.

When Lord saw Orsay at first glance, he was frightened by the scars on his face, and he didn't say a word, just looked at Orsay, and in this case, Osai was a little embarrassed and unhappy for a while;

And Lao Mo came to Lord, "Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this kid is a novice, and he hasn't adapted to communicating with other mercenaries yet, we came today to upgrade this kid and completed a few tasks, my name is Lao Mo, I've been here for a while!"

Hearing Lao Mo's explanation, a smile finally appeared on Osay's originally frozen face,

"It turned out to be a recruit, that's not strange, the scars on my face are indeed a little scary for ordinary people, and it should be curious when I see it for the first time, Lao Mo listened to you, you have been here for a while, so I don't know what the crimson mission is now?"

"Don't worry, although the crimson quest has been going on for a while, the number of this crimson monster has not decreased, and there are more and more of them, and the level of the demonic beasts that appear has also become higher, so don't worry about the number of your mission targets, let's prepare more and meet the battle!"

"Oh, I don't think that's what I know!" When Lao Mo was talking to Osay, a shirtless man on the side also joined in the chat;

"Hello, I'm a blazing mercenary group from the south of the continent, my name is Longji, our southern zone is still somewhat the same as the rock forest here, and the season here is about to be winter, as far as I know, most of the demonic beasts won't come out to hunt during the winter, right?"

Hearing Longji's words, Lao Mo hadn't answered yet, but the Olympians on the side were curious

"Don't you have any monsters there in winter?"

"Yes, many demonic beasts hibernate in winter, and there is almost no trace of demonic beasts anymore. ”

"Our Ice and Snow Plains are covered with ice and snow all year round, and demonic beasts are still often infested, and there are very many of them, and I thought the same was true of the Rock Forest. ”

At this time, Lorde, who was originally nervous, also joined the chat

"I've heard the orc tribe here say that every winter, the Rock Forest will usher in heavy snow and strong winds, at this time, the monsters will choose to hibernate, and the orcs will also prepare in advance, they call this time the winter day. ”

"Then, doesn't that mean that the Crimson mission is coming to an end, so wouldn't it be a waste of time for us to rush over!"

After hearing the news from Lorde, a depressed look appeared on the faces of Oss and Longji, and Lao Mo spoke up again at this time, "What Lord said is the phenomenon of the past, and the current Crimson Demon Beast and the 'Blood Corpse' have broken this rule!"

As Lao Mo's words fell, the mission information on the bulletin board in the guild hall was finally announced, and the most dazzling of them was the red mission-the red mission, but this time, the content of the mission changed.
