Chapter 1121: Blood Prison and the Snake Mother (4600 4800 Supplement)

Dick Territory.

Inside the Graveyard.

A simple funeral is underway.

There are not many people who came to pay their respects, and the expressions on their faces as they look at the tombstone can hardly be called sorrowful.

The old Gravekeeper Quasimodo has finally died; compared to his father and siblings, he was quite lucky to be able to die of old age in his bed.

He did not have any friends in the small town, and the funeral was handled single-handedly by his "distant relative" Aaron.

And after Quasimodo died, Aaron logically became the new Gravekeeper.

Wraith Flowers naturally grow in environments filled with countless corpses, born alongside endless resentment.

Watching this scene, Aaron sighs.

"But alchemy involving the soul... always develops in a weird direction..."

Aaron murmurs, tearing off a petal and dropping it into the crucible.

Aaron frowns, deciding to thoroughly research the folk customs and religious beliefs of the Aderson Continent after returning, especially the legends regarding snakes.

In reality.

Aaron, as an elder on the woman's side, went to offer his blessings.

At this moment, inside the crucible, countless medicinal liquids are flowing outward; that human face is like a balloon being blown up, constantly expanding, expanding... gradually reaching the size of half a human head, nearly on the verge of bursting.

Aaron pulls Ellie up, feeling secretly shocked inside.

Aaron's expression is solemn, and from time to time, he adds a few more herbs into it.

After teasing Ellie for a while, and crucially, collecting data on Primary Warlock Apprentices, Aaron's desire to become a Warlock Apprentice has become even more urgent.

He looks at the people in the village, and ultimately not wanting to be too conspicuous, he takes Ellie to a small grove.

"Then... alright!"

【Gene Mutation: Three times】

【Age: 140】

"Evil... flower..."

"Wraith Flower..."

Aaron has already noticed that Ellie is very fast, almost comparable to him.

This strike came unexpectedly, instantly sweeping Aaron away!

Ellie's face is as red as two large apples, and she says coquettishly.

However, he is patient after all.

Using such Extraordinary Materials will inevitably have some side effects.

"Failed again..."

He subsequently conducted a series of experiments on the latest model of the Blood Prison Potion, confirming that various indicators met the standards, the side effects were not strong, and especially that there was no danger to his own life, before choosing a certain day to adjust his mental state to its peak and consuming the 'Blood Prison Potion'!

The Blood Prison Potion tastes quite good, a bit like a strawberry milkshake.

He struggles hard in the crimson tide, but it has no effect at all.

Aaron clenches his fists, feeling his strength surging once again.

Regarding this, Aaron had long been mentally prepared.

Even so, his expression remains calm, searching for an opportunity to escape.

The hallucination of the incomplete giant woman he once saw during the Red Mountain Trial appears before his eyes once again.

Late at night.

"Fortunately... I finally passed the third gene mutation and became a Witcher Master..."

But how much pain and training did the Witcher Master go through?

One minute passes...

Accompanied by the burning of flames, those bubbles disappear in a weird way, and the surface of the medicinal liquid becomes uneven, revealing a human face...

It is a Mysterious language that allows one to understand its meaning the moment one hears it!

"Snake... Mother!"

A large amount of white mist instantly emerges from the test tube, and the temperature in the room seems to drop by several degrees in an instant.

This child isn't his either, so he feels no heartache when pushing her, which is double the happiness!

Then, he looks at the progress of his Meditation Method and almost vomits blood: "It's been almost ten years, and this is still the progress... If I don't improve my talent, it's really hard to get by..."

Aaron rouses his spirits, goes to the desk nearby, and writes down the experience and lessons from this time: "The Wraith Flower can indeed assist in bloodline fusion... a deeper level of fusion! It's just... it still needs a neutralizing agent and a catalyst..."

"Let's go out and find another place..."

【Name: Aaron (Zoro)】

The house here is no longer the original one; it has been rebuilt and renovated.

【Gene Ability: Blood Surge, Blood Manipulation (Single Target), Blood Domain】

"Although a Witcher needs to mutate three times and pass difficult judgments to possibly awaken a bit of Warlock talent—which wouldn't even be wanted on the Warlock Continent—it is still enough to make other Royal Families and great nobles fight over it on the Aderson Continent."

Aaron feels the detailed information coming from the Attribute Panel and nods to himself.

"Blood Domain... is actually large-scale Blood Manipulation; in terms of effect... it is comparable to a Level 0 Sorcery of a Warlock Apprentice..."

"If I cannot escape that crimson tide, what will eventually happen?"

It is the Warlock talent being quantified that gives Aaron a pleasant surprise.

And after returning to the Graveyard, he immediately goes to the basement.

The previously obscure star map suddenly appeared, allowing him to feel the Chaos Power in the void!

Furthermore, when operating the "Darkless Blood," that sense of obscurity vanished by more than half!

"Finally... not only genetic mutation, but my soul has also fused with the bloodline of the Bloodthirsty Mad Bird, granting me a bit of Warlock talent?"

Inside the Gravekeeper's hut.

Aaron sighed, lit a flame, and burned all these insects to ashes.

"Get up... I have already understood your strength; although you are strong, your practical combat experience is still quite lacking..."

The moment the human face emerged, Aaron, with lightning speed, dripped in three drops of graphite-like black liquid.

"Ninth Grade? It's actually not the worst Tenth Grade, so I've made a profit... After all, the Wraith Flower is only an Apprentice-level material..."

After becoming a Warlock Apprentice, she had already broken furniture several times because she could not suppress her surging power.

Outside the village, a boy wearing a straw hat had been waiting there, stretching his neck and keeping his eyes on the intersection.

It seems that after becoming a Primary Warlock Apprentice, the Bloodline Seed's boost to physical fitness exceeded his expectations.

【Talent: Changsheng】

At this moment, he immediately pulled the wooden stopper from another test tube.

A twisted human face emerged.

"He... he is Little Jack, the second son of the Town Mayor..." Ellie fidgeted with her fingers, feeling somewhat uneasy.

But this time, through the black-hole-like mouth of the other party, a subtle sound that struck directly at the soul was emitted!

Aaron felt his spirit sinking; this was not a good omen.

The other party reached down with its claws, and vaguely, one could see the Scarlet bird eyes and the mostly rotten wings.

However, after swallowing it all, Aaron was completely stunned.

Aaron opened his eyes, and cold sweat had actually appeared on his forehead.

In the notes of Iris, there were also cases of Warlock laboratory leaks leading to the appearance of countless Weird Curses and the total death of an entire area.

Aaron had only paid a small amount of money to bribe the Town Mayor, allowing himself to securely become the new Gravekeeper.

Aaron rubbed his chin and instantly felt that it would be better to hide this potion formula and keep it a secret.

Her body's Instinct made her head tilt, then she immediately jumped away, glared at Aaron who had launched the sneak attack, flashed, arrived at Aaron's side, and extended her foot, trying to trip him.

【Profession: Witcher (Grandmaster)】

"And... Warlocks can also reproduce offspring..."

When he came back to his senses, he found himself standing on a blood-red continent.

He disguised himself slightly, turned into the Old Witcher Zoro, and came to the village where Ellie had settled.

There was even a secret room left behind, which was now being used by Aaron as his herb room.

Even so, once this kind of potion that can increase talent leaks out, the future troubles will be endless.

And the next moment, countless white mists descended from the sky, making a hissing sound.

The human face wept, and one by one, pitch-black insects crawled out from the crucible.

"Snake Mother, which existence is this?"

"Thinking about it this way... Witchers are truly miserable."

"Uncle Zoro!"

The Wraith Flower was just one of the necessary conditions.

"Warlock potions are indeed very Weird... even if they are only close to the Warlock level..."

After receiving this news, Aaron was very happy.

Ellie was just an ordinary woman before, but after condensing the Bloodline Seed, her physical fitness was no worse than that of an average Witcher Master.

【Meditation Method: Darkless Blood (13/100) (First Layer)】

Otherwise, there would be no talk of increasing Warlock talent.

Gurgle!

In the crucible on the alcohol Lamp, the blood-red potion was constantly bubbling.

Two years later, Ellie and Little Jack married and formed a new family.

Ellie was wearing a floral dress and greeted him happily: "I succeeded!"

Aaron knew it clearly, but pretended to see it for the first time and asked: "Who is he?"

"Ellie... what is going on?"

Aaron did not hesitate, leaped with all his might, and grabbed the bird claw of the other party.

But the next moment, Ellie felt the world spinning and fell to the ground.

He was able to increase his own talent by relying on his accumulation as an Occultism master and even the data from Witcher experiments.

This is the reason for their failure!

The crucible, along with the human face, the flame... all seemed to be sealed inside an ice sculpture, unable to leak out any longer.

Although Witchers also consume Extraordinary Materials to undergo genetic mutation, the fusion with the bloodline is not thorough enough.

Aaron's expression remained unchanged; he had long had experience in dealing with such failures.

Countless scarlet blood, like a torrent, washed over the earth!

Two minutes, five minutes...

Aaron encouraged Ellie a few more words and returned to the village with her.

The petals were instantly corroded and merged into the medicinal liquid.

The human face was instantly dyed pitch black, unable to break through this layer of black film.

He muttered to himself, vaguely knowing that it certainly wouldn't be anything good.

In the blink of an eye, several more years passed; Ellie finally succeeded in the Meditation of nine Bloodline Runes, condensed a Bloodline Seed, and became a Primary Warlock Apprentice.

When the insect, which was the size of a black ant, was scorched, it actually emitted a sound like a young girl crying, which sounded exceptionally eerie in the cramped secret chamber.

By comparison, Warlocks are far too blessed by heaven.

Ellie apologized subconsciously.

"Next, your task is to first learn to control your own power, as well as master some combat techniques... Apart from that, the daily 'Darkless Blood' Meditation must not be neglected..."

"However, even for a Demon Hunter... the illusions during the Red Mountain Trial are inseparable from the Weird..."

After all, pushing the child to succeed actually yielded results!

"So... whatever happens, happens!"

The Grandmaster-level 'Blood Prison Potion' that Aaron prepared to develop was one that would make changes not only to the genes but also to the soul.

Looking at it now, it was not entirely groundless.

Suddenly, that incomplete and mountain-sized woman exploded!

After the white mist dispersed, only an ice sculpture remained in place.

Gurgle!

Inside the boiling potion, a petal of a Wraith Flower fell in and was rapidly corroded.

"Come on... use your strongest power to attack me!"

In the sky, a twisted crimson bird seemed to fly past.

Then, he poured the test tube directly onto the crucible.

A feeling like a drunken blackout washed over him, and he instantly lost consciousness.

"Sorry, I will work hard..."

Finally...

Crack!

"Hmm!"

"I... I'm afraid I might hurt Uncle." Ellie appeared somewhat hesitant.

His figure finally left the Red Tide!

Aaron lowered his voice.

"What are you talking about!"

However, in terms of methods, none of them could outplay the old and cunning Aaron, and they were defeated one after another.

Aaron scanned the Divine Attribute panel:

"However, this failure still has value."

Yet, this was only the most insignificant change.

He closed his eyes slightly and began to visualize the star map.

Aaron withdrew the flames and watched the medicinal liquid gradually solidify; from start to finish, that human face never escaped the blockade of the black film, and he couldn't help but nod: "The new generation of potion... is finally developed."

"After all, even the descendants of Warlock families must face the problem of thinning bloodlines... Inbreeding can only delay it, not avoid it... In order to obtain clansmen with Warlock talent, even if the mortality rate is extremely high, they are willing to try."

There were only two Wraith Flowers, and their source was very rare and precious, so they could only be tested slowly.

【Warlock Talent: Ninth Grade】

It must be said that although the position of Gravekeeper is unlucky, there is always a bit of profit, and in fact, many Free Citizens in the town covet this position.

Today, while attending a wedding, he suddenly had an inspiration; the final hurdle regarding the Blood Prison Potion was finally broken through by him, and he was now in urgent need of testing.

Not until seeing Ellie did he excitedly shake his straw hat, and then seeing Aaron beside her, he stuck out his tongue, turned around, and ran off until he was out of sight.

Time is like water.

In the end, he even took out a small white flower with a human face and black patterns on its petals.

"Don't underestimate your Uncle Zoro!" Aaron laughed loudly: "Uncle is a Demon Hunter, you know!"

"Haha... my Ellie has grown up." Aaron sighed with emotion: "But be careful, don't be tricked by a young man's sweet talk into a barn or a haystack, otherwise you will have cause to regret it..."

Just as Ellie hesitantly agreed, a giant fist appeared before her eyes.

Otherwise, the treatment he would receive might be even crazier than the siege of Lancaster back then.

Good things that increase Warlock talent must exist on the Warlock Continent, but they certainly do not exist on Aderson Island.

Once leaked, it would immediately be a bloodbath!
