Chapter 430: Wendigo Bloodline Memory Fragment, Lilith and Vlad? |
——【Wendigo Blood Crystal】
Quality: Silver
Description: This is a blood crystal left behind by the legendary Silver creature—the Wendigo. It is extremely rare and quite precious.
————————
Yu Yuan toyed with the blood crystal for a moment before storing it in the Rabbit Ring.
Silver-tier Spiritual Creature Blood—acquired!
Looking at the devastated street around him, he let out a long sigh.
He focused his attention inward.
Just now, when he cast 【Diagnosis: Amnesia】 on the Wendigo to help Zhi Zhi break free, he also triggered another effect of this ability.
After being filtered and the information restructured by his talent 【Mysticist】, removing the polluting elements, a memory from the Wendigo's bloodline appeared in his mind.
It should have been a grand-scale ancient civilization war.
Several worlds were connected, divided into two camps, confronting each other.
On one side was the faction the Wendigo belonged to, a faction composed entirely of various powerful, formidable creatures.
Molten Demons, Frost Demons, Abyssal Demons, Serpent Demons, Blood Demons, War Demons, and so on.
It was filled with brutality, flesh, and chaos.
The other camp, however, was a different sight altogether.
Humanoid beings with feathered wings, bathed in holy light, brandished their longswords, scattering dazzling radiance.
Below them, there were soldiers clad in mechanical armor, a Doomsday Train resembling the World Serpent, and floating islands constructing majestic palaces that showered holy light.
They looked down upon the demonic camp from on high.
The Wendigo's position was towards the rear of the first echelon, which matched its Silver-tier status and its positioning of not having high combat strength.
At the forefront of the demonic camp, however, were several majestic figures enveloped in lava, frost, blood, poisonous gas...
Those figures were so awe-inspiring they were difficult to look upon directly, their pressure immense.
They stood in confrontation with several similarly light-shrouded existences from the opposing camp.
"Lilith, remember to stay close to me later, I'll protect you."
"Vlad, you shut your mouth, get away from me."
Two voices came from the distance, attracting the Wendigo's attention. It looked towards the position slightly ahead and to its right.
The Wendigo knew that was the territory of the Blood Duke.
Its gaze wandered over Lilith's full, perky figure, and a thought arose in its mind.
"Her flesh must be delicious!"
Just as this thought emerged in the Wendigo's mind, Lilith seemed to sense its scrutiny. She turned her head, her gaze sharp and piercing.
The Wendigo met her eyes, looked at her fair skin, opened its mouth, and revealed a ferocious grin.
"Hmph."
A cold glint flashed in Lilith's eyes as she turned her head away.
Just as the Wendigo dismissed it, the gaze of Vlad beside Lilith remained fixed intently on it.
In that instant, Vlad's gaze gave the Wendigo a feeling of bone-chilling cold.
That look was as if he had discovered someone coveting his possession.
It was filled with vigilance and killing intent...
And at that moment, the Wendigo's memory began to fade.
Yu Yuan's mind was still recalling those two figures.
"Lilith and Vlad? This... couldn't they be the Night Witch and the Vampire Progenitor from the Silver stage!"
But considering the location where those two appeared was the Blood Duke's camp.
Their identities were already confirmed.
Yu Yuan never expected that he would find information about Lilith and the Vampire Progenitor within the Wendigo's bloodline memory.
Truly incredible.
Yu Yuan was about to try and recall the appearances of Lilith and Vlad.
But he was surprised to discover.
Even though their faces had been perfectly clear just moments before, after only a dozen or so seconds.
They had become extremely blurry.
Similarly blurred were the figures of those great existences.
Yu Yuan's memory of the two was now reduced to: Lilith had fair skin, and Vlad's eyes were filled with vigilance.
But their specific appearances were impossible to recall.
Yu Yuan understood this wasn't a problem with his memory.
It was because Vlad III was now a Gold-tier existence, and there was a suppression due to his status.
As for that war, Yu Yuan already had a guess in his heart.
"This might be the war where Vlad III killed the angel under the Lord of Dawn, after which the Blood Duke would betroth Lilith to Vlad..."
At this time, Lilith was not yet dead, and Vlad was still under the Blood Duke's command.
All the information matched up.
"Never thought I'd gain such a harvest." This memory fragment was intercepted from the Wendigo's bloodline.
And the perspective at that time was indeed from the Frost camp.
The speculation that the Wendigo had Frost Demon bloodline within it was probably true.
"Frost Demon..."
Yu Yuan let out a long breath.
What a headache!
Just when Green Forest City was almost unified.
Now a Silver-tier creature, the Wendigo, pops up.
Although its combat strength isn't overwhelmingly powerful, its ability to control frost and blizzards is just too troublesome.
This ability of its is quite similar to Zhi Zhi's Shadow Dimension.
Coming and going without a trace.
However, after this battle with the Wendigo, Yu Yuan wasn't without gains.
The reason the Wendigo managed to escape this time was because Yu Yuan wasn't familiar enough with it. He didn't expect it could directly transform into wind and snow to disappear.
Caught off guard, before he could react, it had already fled.
Next time he encounters it, he just needs to seal its ability.
And to seal its ability, both 【Binding Bramble】 and 【Canary's Cage】 could do the job.
Whether 【Binding Bramble】 can trap a Silver-tier creature is one thing, but 【Canary's Cage】 definitely won't have a problem.
Also, the effect of 【Thunder's Secret Contract】 was quite evident; it had a certain restraining effect, though the restraining effect of its normal attacks was limited.
Then he could only rely on the weapon skill of 【Thunder's Secret Contract】—【Thunder's Breath】.
While Yu Yuan was pondering, movement came from behind him.
Yu Yuan turned to look.
It was people from the Iron Anchor Shipping Company. Hearing the commotion outside had ceased, they had sent someone out to investigate.
But the moment they showed themselves, the shadows at their feet transformed into ropes, binding them.
Shortly after, Zhi Zhi rushed into the underground structure. It didn't take long before it returned.
And merged with Yu Yuan.
"Master, all under control..."
Yu Yuan walked into the building.
Blood.
Blood everywhere...
Weapons and bodies severed by the Wendigo's claws were scattered in the corridors.
Yu Yuan waded through, stepping further inside.
【Binding Bramble】 was released by Yu Yuan.
It followed behind him, beginning to devour the corpses.
In the end, less than twenty people remained from the entire Iron Anchor Shipping Company.
During the earlier battle, this Iron Anchor Shipping Company had been almost completely slaughtered by the Wendigo.
Those who remained were the ones who, out of fear of death, had hidden away, thus avoiding the risk of being killed by the Wendigo.
The two who had ventured out earlier were sent by them to check the situation.
But now, they were all tightly bound by shadow ropes.
Without any ability to resist.
Seeing Yu Yuan appear, pleading looks filled everyone's eyes.
Among them was Carlos, the Chairman of the Iron Anchor Shipping Company.
Yu Yuan fell into thought, then looked at Zhi Zhi.
"Kill them."
"Yes!"
The shadow ropes around the several people rapidly tightened. With several crisp sounds of bones cracking, all dozen or so people died, becoming nourishment for 【Binding Bramble】.
Yu Yuan was not bloodthirsty.
But he dared not take these people back to the Recruit Training Camp, nor dared to let them live.
There was no way to know if they had been mentally contaminated by the Wendigo.
Bringing them back recklessly would be like planting a time bomb.
Before finding a way to deal with the Wendigo, every day he could delay was a gain.
The reason for killing them was the same.
Their existence was a potential danger.
In comparison, only the dead were truly safe for Yu Yuan.
With matters settled, Yu Yuan and Zhi Zhi quickly searched through the building.
Not only looking for supplies, but also searching for the reason why the Wendigo had targeted the Iron Anchor Shipping Company.
Soon, Yu Yuan made a discovery.
