Chapter 4007: Spark Source Mark
"Be careful, don't move this first."
The doll lady on the shoulder floated down, flew around Xia De's right hand twice:
"Your hand, actually didn't receive any influence from 'Wither'?"
Xia De answered with pain:
"When I was hit by the other party's attack in the 'Blood Collection Workshop', I did feel a slight atrophy of flesh and blood, but just now when I collided with 'Wither' head-on, I don't know if it was because of this spark source, I feel that I have adapted to the power of 'Wither'."
"Incredible, as long as it is a normal flesh-and-blood life, it will be..."
Miss Feilianna helped Xia De check his right hand, and then made a judgment that made everyone breathe a sigh of relief:
"The problem is not big, you should dig it out first."
"Okay."
Xia De first let the spark source that had just been embedded in his palm during the collision return to the metal state, and then bit his teeth and dug the metal out of his palm.
"Does it hurt?"
The doll lady asked softly, while Gina held Xia De's right arm worriedly. Miss Bladevi pursed her lips and pressed her right arm, as if phantom pain had appeared, while the old witch stared at the blood vessels on Xia De's arm, and after confirming that the spark source was dug out, seeing the blood vessels on Xia De's right hand gradually return to normal, she was slightly relieved.
"You were really too reckless just now."
The little Miss Feilianna criticized, and then flew above his palm, casting a spell to protect the terrifying wound, preventing the flesh and blood from being affected by the environment and appearing abnormal. They didn't need to treat Xia De. The spark source left a large amount of life force at the wound, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gina asked concernedly:
"Xia De, how do you feel now?"
Xia De tried to bend his right arm:
"It should be fine. Fortunately, this spark source is just a container for the spark, not a relic or something stranger, otherwise it would be terrible."
"Actually, the situation now is also a bit wrong."
The little Miss Feilianna said, because after Xia De's right hand skin also recovered, a somewhat blurred vertical pupil pattern appeared on his palm. Even if Miss Feilianna tried to recover him through various methods, it only made the pattern slightly lighter.
"What is this again? Is it related to Wither?"
Lady Gustav asked worriedly. Xia De touched his right palm with his left hand, and "She"'s gentle voice appeared immediately—
【Outsider, sensed "Spark Source Mark", without interference, the mark will soon be invisible to the naked eye. After touching the spark, the mark will appear on its own.】
【While holding the mark, you are immune to damage from "Wither".】
【While holding the mark, you can sense the position of other spark sources at close range.】
【While holding the mark, "Abnormal Life Spark" will not select you as a target, and you will not undergo any form of flesh-and-blood aberration.】
【While holding the mark, the effects of Spell · Life Spark, Spell · Life Ray, and Spell · Life Tempering are enhanced.】
【While holding the mark, you can temporarily accommodate any form of "spark source" or "life spark" into your body without causing any impact on yourself.】
"How come it sounds like I've become a large, weakened spark source?"
This mark sounds useful. Although Xia De does not have a normal spark source in the Sixth Era, this mark allows him to store a small amount of sparks, be immune to Wither attribute damage, and enhance life-type spells, which is already very good.
He told everyone the effect of the mark in his palm, and then cast the spell "Life Spark" again. The moment the spark appeared on his right hand, the originally almost completely hidden mark in his palm appeared again, and the fire-red mark looked like someone had branded a scar on Xia De's palm.
He placed the metal spark source on his palm, so the two "eyes" overlapped, and the spark source really merged into the brand.
"Then whether..."
【Cannot bring the spark source back to the Sixth Era through this method.】
But no matter what, as long as this mark does not have negative effects, Xia De doesn't care much.
The witches were all worried about him, especially Gina. The pink dragon girl held Xia De's right arm and refused to let go. Xia De promised again and again that he was really fine, and she nodded with pursed lips, but still didn't mean to let go of Xia De.
This place is the Life Furnace room, but before confirming what flesh-and-blood materials the furnace needs this time, there is one more thing to deal with.
"What is this again?"
A white crystal the size of a fingernail was left after the shadow died. The surface of the crystal constantly emitted white powder without substance, and the powder would disappear immediately after floating for three seconds.
Anyone who takes a look at it can feel the feeling of life withering. It is not a peaceful death, but the process of "life" falling.
Except for Xia De who has the brand, no one dared to touch this crystal directly with their skin. Miss Bladevi used waste metal to make a small bowl to hold it, and these metals had already shown serious rust marks.
"Let's call it Wither Crystal for the time being. There are flesh-and-blood aberrations everywhere in this factory, but the monster that possesses the permission to cross rooms at will, actually possesses the ability of Wither flesh and blood... Very interesting."
The doll lady sat back on Xia De's shoulder:
"This crystal can help you fight against the monsters here, but you have to find a suitable way to use it."
"Perhaps, we can throw this into the Life Furnace, the new life must also be afraid of this."
Gina had an idea, but the old witch shook her head:
"This furnace will detect what materials are added. Overly dangerous things definitely cannot be added, otherwise we would have brought poison at the beginning."
Miss Feilianna continued to look at the crystal with great interest:
"Perhaps you can let Xia De go to the outside world to find a method sufficient to suppress the power of this crystal. After suppressing the power of Wither, throw it into the furnace. In this way, it might be able to help you at the end."
The four people felt that this made a lot of sense, so Xia De determined his next task. This crystal can only be used in the fourth furnace. After all, they cannot stay here waiting for Xia De to return.
As for such dangerous things, during Xia De's absence, they were temporarily sealed by Miss Feilianna. Although "Wither" is not a Calamity of the world, its nature is too harmful to life. Although it does not have whispering elements, it is not wrong to treat it as an extremely dangerous relic.
The adventure between the second furnace and the third furnace lasted too long. Although this made the witches very tired, it also allowed them to collect enough flesh-and-blood organs.
Since the most troublesome fuel 【Essence of All Things Blood】 was already in hand, the next things would be much easier.
After sealing the thing temporarily named "Wither Crystal", the witches began to build everyone's shelter. The three witches let Xia De rest temporarily, without him having to do it himself, so Xia De took the opportunity to take out the specimen bottle snatched from the collection room.
The bottle was just an ordinary item. After breaking it, Xia De controlled the preservative solution inside to float in the air. The red thin snake was really dead. Under the guidance of the doll Miss Feilianna, Xia De summoned the red moonlight greatsword, let it exist as a small knife, and then carefully divided the snake.
The red snake's body at this time consisted of three parts, which were its own flesh and blood, 【Philosopher's Stone】, and 【Essence of All Things Blood】.
First, the useless ordinary flesh and blood were removed, because they were stained with 【Philosopher's Stone】, these flesh and blood were also attached with whispering elements, and now belong to high-risk garbage; then Xia De, relying on his inexplicable familiarity with 【Philosopher's Stone】, separated it from 【Essence of All Things Blood】.
While the witches had almost completed the construction of this temporary shelter, and even checked the rune marks on the twelve sides of the furnace, Xia De completed this work.
"Look."
The amount of 【Philosopher's Stone】 and 【Essence of All Things Blood】 was not much, but because Xia De separated them very carefully, although the two had partially merged, their properties were not affected. Among them, 【Philosopher's Stone】 was only the size of a thumb's fingernail, and 【Essence of All Things Blood】 was about 12 times that of the former.
Everyone was very satisfied with this result and praised Xia De for his good craftsmanship. Xia De wanted to say that this was all because of Miss Feilianna's guidance, but the little doll lady praised Xia De for his strong control over moonlight:
"You are indeed suitable for the path of moonlight."
The fuel was ready, and among the twelve flesh-and-blood organs, everyone already possessed nine of them, only missing a right hand, a spleen, and an ear.
Although they could rest halfway, the witches were already very tired after successive adventures, so they didn't intend to continue exploring, but wanted to spend time together in the shelter before Xia De left.
Xia De also meant this. The battles with the "huge baby" and "Shadow of Wither" also made him somewhat tired. Since the forging materials missing this time were not many, he didn't say anything about continuing to open doors.
Even after entering the shelter, Miss Feilianna still chose to sit on Xia De's shoulder. After everyone curled up together, she first listened to the self-introductions of Lady Gustav and Miss Bladevi, then listened to the adventure stories everyone had walked along the way, but finally did not express too many opinions about this place, just asked Xia De:
"How long can you stay this time?"
"A total of eighty minutes. A part was spent after meeting up with everyone just now, and a part was spent in the prayer room. The time spent on the road was actually very little. Now there are more than twenty minutes left, the time is still quite sufficient. In a while, we can piece together the flesh-and-blood organs we have now and try to learn the knowledge of flesh-and-blood creation."
