Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

"hey-hey!"

Zong Shen opened the rune door and smiled at the little Heizi at the door.

"Come in quickly!"

"Brother Zong... don't want it..."

Zong Shen grabbed Xiao Heizi's wrist and pulled him directly into the study.

…

Five minutes later.

"Here, this is it."

"I need to borrow your blood."

"I don't know how much I want. Please put in a few pots first."

"The quality of dragon blood should be relatively high."

Zong Shen pointed to the [Blood Thirsty Holy Grail (Special)] on the table and said to Xiao Heizi.

After some explanation, Xiao Heizi already understood his intention.

Xiao Heizi, who transformed into a young nobleman, scratched his head and stretched out his arm without hesitation.

Its body is huge, so the amount of blood in its body is much larger than that of humans.

Just feeding blood to this stone cup is no problem at all.

On the contrary, blood is just a consumable that can be quickly recovered in a semi-digital state.

During this period of time, the blacksmith shop frequently asked Xiao Heizi for blood.

Every time I put it in a big pot.

Yu Haoyin even tried to sell two barrels of black dragon's blood in the [market] and divided them into hundreds of shares. They were basically sold out within one day.

Xiao Heizi, who has reached the strength of the old dragon, also has atavistic blood, and its blood is an extremely precious material for the lord.

As long as the bloodletting in a single day does not exceed 30% of the total health limit, it will not have any negative impact. If it exceeds this threshold, even after recovery, Xiao Heizi's total attributes will be reduced by 5% to 8%. decline.

This is different from Zong Shen.

Zong Shen can bleed without limit, as long as his health can be restored in time.

But Xiao Heizi is different, it has certain limitations.

However, given the size difference, the total blood volume released by Xiao Heizi's 30% health value is equivalent to ten or eight sects.

Therefore, it is true that dragon blood is valuable, and it is also true that blood can be regularly bled and sold every day.

Xiao Heizi is even used to this process.

It is common to draw some blood, pick off some scales, and polish the claws and horns.

Sometimes you have to change your teeth.

Even saliva and tears are relatively rare materials.

A true dragon is literally full of treasures.

Currently, there is only one adult dragon in the territory, Xiao Heizi. When Lan Xiaodai grows up through the blood of the dragon god, there will be two dragons who can take turns bleeding.

You must know that five-color dragons have different element affinity characteristics.

The materials on the black dragon generally have toxin and corrosive properties, and also have an affinity for water.

The blue dragon has an affinity for thunder, and its scales can burst out with electric current if lightly rubbed.

For a veteran like Xiao Heizi who has adapted to territorial life, bleeding is about the same as going to the toilet to pee.

"It turned out to be a bloodletting."

"Just watch and let it go."

"Such a big cup, 30% of the blood volume can't be filled with dozens of cups."

Xiao Heizi rolled up his sleeves and stretched out his arms. The black scales on the surface were looming.

It stared at the [Holy Grail of Blood Thirst (Special)] and said nonchalantly.

Seeing Xiao Heizi's cooperation, Zong Shen stopped nagging.

He took out a better-quality short knife and slashed it across his arm with controlled force.

"Hiss..."

An obscure friction sound appeared, and sparks actually appeared on the tip of the blade and on Xiao Heizi's arm.

This green fine-grade knife slowly curled up.

Zong Shen used a little force and still made a small incision.

Both sides were more cautious, especially Zong Shen, who was now taking off a lot of jewelry and equipment.

He deliberately suppressed a wave of his own attributes to avoid casually dealing shocking damage.

However, Xiao Heizi has thick skin and tough flesh, and its health can withstand the torment.

It can only be said to be just in case.

Even so, the durability of the green quality knife has been reduced a lot.

Breaking the defense is one thing. With Zong Shen's basic strength, it is not too difficult to break the defense.

But this does not mean that equipment will not be worn out.

More than a thousand points of damage appeared along with the wounds on the arms.

Xiao Heizi looked as usual without even frowning.

According to its huge health value, the damage of 1,800 points is almost like scratching the skin.

Black blood dripped from the wound into the Holy Grail.

Its current human form is just transformed, and the amount of bloodletting is linked to its main body.

So it looks like there's a lot of bleeding!

Every drop of blood emits a faint black smoke, and also has a sour smell.

Unlike the rusty smell of human blood.

The blood of the black dragon continued to drip into the Holy Grail, gradually accumulating a small pool of blood at the bottom of the cup.

But that's all, because the dragon's blood continued to drip and the Holy Grail continued to absorb, so the blood volume in the cup did not change.

Zong Shen looked at the changes in [Blood Thirst Progress].

Silently calculating the quality of the black dragon's blood.

On average, 15 drops of blood can increase the progress by 1 point.

In other words, it takes 1,500 drops to fill it once.

This means that the quality of the black dragon's blood is more than ten times higher than Zong Shen's own blood.

And 1,500 drops of blood is nothing to Xiao Heizi, and he can't even reach the 5% upper limit of blood volume.

It’s just that it’s not yet certain how much of Xiao Heizi’s dragon blood the [Blood Thirsty Holy Grail (Special)] can absorb before it tastes boring.

When the filling progress reaches more than 70 points, Xiao Heizi's wound will heal.

Zong Shen then bled it several times.

…

After a quarter of an hour, the Holy Grail was finally full!

It no longer absorbed Xiao Heizi's blood, and there was a cooling time of 720 hours after the blood was dripped.

This cooling period is single-item and only targets Xiao Heizi's blood.

During this period, if Zong Shen changes the taste of the Holy Grail, he can absorb feedback as usual.

The result of the bloodletting was that Zong Shen had three less obvious [blood lines] on his arm.

Yes, Xiao Heizi's dragon blood has been filled with [Blood Thirst Progress] three times before entering the cooling period.

"Well, that's it."

"It will take a month before it can absorb your blood again."

Zong Shen patted Xiao Heizi on the shoulder. This was real voluntary blood.

Xiao Heizi grinned and casually chanted dragon language magic with primary healing effect.

Coupled with the powerful dragon body's self-healing, the blood volume was then allowed to slowly recover.

This process was done so skillfully that Zong Shen couldn't help but sigh.

If it were the original little Heizi, it would be a dream to let him bleed obediently.

But Zong Shen didn't say anything pretentious.

Now that Xiao Heizi has developed enough loyalty and sense of belonging to the territory and him.

Then Zong Shen will not forget to support it in the future.

If there are any good things like Dragon God's blood, they will be arranged for Xiao Heizi when the time comes!

"Go and rest."

"This manor is very big, pick a room you like."

"By the way, Count Lyce also has many women he calls 'toys'."

"You pick a few you like to take back to the territory, and they belong to you."

Zong Shen waved his hand and let Xiao Heizi move freely. Since this kid was lustful, he would satisfy Xiao Heizi's request and make full use of Earl Leith's resources.

He has no interest in cultivating "toys" and will not let Earl Lyce cultivate them again in the future.

But the "toys" that have been cultivated are irreversible, so let Xiao Heizi choose a few and follow them.

All "toys" are poor people. They have undergone severe mental control and brainwashing and have lost most of their independent thinking. They only retain basic instinctive reactions and wisdom.

This change is almost irreversible.

That's why Lys Kazan called them "toys."

Like a puppet at the mercy of others.

After receiving the master's promise, Xiao Heizi bowed and left the study.

Zong Shen sat back down and looked at the three dark red [blood lines] on his arm.

All his attributes have been increased by 30 points.

After putting on various equipment again, his four major attributes also changed.

【Power: 3017】

[Agility: 1442]

【Wisdom: 1539】

【Charm: 1407】

[HP: 18802 + 1500 (Magic Tears Breast Guard) + 5000 (Kard Medical Gem) + 2000 (Ace Emblem) + 3000 (Whistle of All Souls Bowing)]

…

Counting three [Blood Patterns], his total attributes increased by 120 points.

Currently, all four of Zong Shen's attributes have been raised.

The highest one is still [Strength], which has already exceeded the 3,000-point mark under normal conditions.

This is the equipment under normal equipment, without the blessing of any gain skills.

In addition, the [Wisdom] attribute has reached more than 1500 points.

[Agility] and [Charm] are also within the 1400 point+ range.

This attribute can be said to be very powerful.

It's just that [Strength] is more prominent, so he can't be called a Bucket Warrior.

This is normal. Zong Shen has long been drifting away from the path of "making miracles happen with great force".

"This [Bloodthirsty Holy Grail (Special)] is really a good thing!"

"When we return to the territory, let Yingjiang and Feihu come and donate blood."

"Then we will quickly cultivate Lan Xiaodai's loyalty and use the divine blood to make him grow up quickly."

Zong Shen reached out and put the [Holy Grail of Blood Thirst (Special)] into the storage compartment using the ability of the portable storage compartment to ingest it from a distance.

He has already thought about how to use this Holy Grail next.

The [blood patterns] on the body have been detected by the strategy module and there are no hidden dangers.

Their power comes from the special energy extracted from their blood.

It's just the feedback after drinking blood, converting the absorbed blood into blood patterns that can enhance attributes.

The reason is not difficult to understand, but the specific mechanism of action is unknown.

After thinking about the Holy Grail for a while, Zong Shen then took out the next item with his backhand.

It was a beautiful piece of amber, about the size of a palm.

The amber has completely solidified, and a small group of blood emitting colorful dark lights is sealed in it.

The glow from this blood makes amber look a bit colorful.

It makes its appearance quite gorgeous, which makes it valuable as a collectible.

Zong Shen was no longer too lazy to trace how Count Scholais got this thing.

What he cares about is the grade of this amber.

The striking word "Unknown" proves its potential value.

There is nothing surprising about amber itself.

This thing is the oil secreted by pine trees, which can exist for hundreds of millions of years after being sealed and solidified.

The key is the colorful blood sealed in this amber.

Zong Shen did not open it rashly, but chose to directly launch the strategy module to view it.

[Ancient amber sealing mysterious blood (unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[An amber sealing ancient mysterious blood, the blood inside still contains powerful power]

(This amber contains a ball of blood essence from the heart of a high-level demigod from the Power Clan in ancient times. By fusing this blood, you can master the skill [Power Transformation].

The Li Neng tribe was famous for its powerful strength in ancient times, and could even defeat the ancient Titan savages.

Note that the current blood requires your normal strength to reach more than 6000 points before it can be integrated.

After successful fusion, you will be blessed by the energy bloodline and gain certain attribute improvements.

Please turn it on with caution when the attributes do not meet the requirements, otherwise you may be counterattacked by this blood)

…

As Zong Shen expected, the origin of this blood was not small.

And it can be used for fusion, but the threshold is higher and requires a normal strength attribute of 6000 points!

The so-called normal strength is the strength attribute without using any short-term gain or transformation skills.

At present, Zong Shen has just exceeded 3,000 points.

So I can only put it away for now.

Obviously, this power tribe is a certain ethnic group known for its strength in the ancient times of the Endless Continent.

Moreover, they are separated by a relatively long time, and it is very likely that they are races from several epochs ago.

Era changes occur frequently in the Endless Continent, and the rise and fall of civilizations is a common occurrence.

The entire continent has buried countless withered civilizations.

And these civilizational legacies became the resources for the development and growth of the lords.

Suppressing his desire to discover, Zong Shen did not open the amber.

The strategy module had warned him first, so why should he be so stubborn?

Although she was curious about the power clan, she didn't have much desire to find out.

Because currently he has accumulated too many exploration opportunities at hand.

As the saying goes, he can't bite off more than he can chew. He needs a certain amount of time to digest it slowly. As for the blood, he can put it away first and take it out for use at any time after the attributes reach the standard.

In recent times, he has basically digested the legendary level of combat power.

Adapted to fighting and daily life under the new strength.

At the same time, the next development plan has been planned.

This is a steady process.

Playing with the amber in his hand, Zong Shen was in a daze.

When he holds the amber tightly, the colorful blood in it will emit brighter light.

It's like a pressure-sensitive colored light.

It was obvious that the blood had some influence on him.

But when a living individual jumps to a certain level, both hair and blood will change.

After obtaining a certain level of "spirituality", the various indicators of the body and the characteristics of the organs will also be out of the scope of ordinary people.

After throwing away the amber, Zong Shen suddenly thought of its second use.

Since the blood inside can corrode creatures with a strength attribute lower than 6000 points.

Then it can not only be used to strengthen the bloodline, but also be used as a domineering corrosive poison.

At that time, Zong Shen can take it out and store it in the storage compartment when everything is safe.

Just extract one or two drops to ward off enemy disasters!
