Chapter 139: Elder Blood unsealed

~8 min read 1,465 words

"Sigh, what a waste."

Looking at the Leshen burned into charcoal, Wayne sighed. The Leshen is a very rare monster, and the materials in its body are even rarer.

Holding the mentality of "hitting three poles whether there are dates or not," Wayne drew the meteorite iron dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the chest of the pitch-black Leshen.

This kind of monster belongs to Remnants, not a biological body like a troll, Nekker, or Drowner, so there are no organs in its chest, but some unknown impurities and lumps, as well as some sticky body fluids.

Wayne dug inside for a long time and dug out something like a heart wrapped in gray vines. According to the records in the witcher books, this thing seems to be called the "Forest Heart." It is useless to witchers, but selling it to sorcerers can be used as a material for making magic props.

However, after digging out the Forest Heart, Wayne did not give up, because powerful monsters like the Leshen usually contain unique mutagens in their bodies, which are materials for making special decoctions. Unless there are special circumstances, they are generally not missing.

Sure enough, he dug for a long time, almost emptying the Leshen's chest, before digging out a blue meat ball on the surface that looked like a brain hill. Judging by this scale, it should be a large blue mutagen.

Wayne felt happy in his heart. This thing is of high value. Whether it is used to make decoctions, used for mutation experiments, or sold to sorcerers, it is a good choice.

Although he used dozens of alchemy bombs today, as long as he got this thing, it could be considered as breaking even.

While thinking, a figure with a staggering pace and soaked all over, shouting Wayne's name, rushed into the rocky area.

When she saw Wayne, who was safe and sound, squatting on a huge charred corpse, she was relieved.

Before she could even speak, she found a stone nearby and sat down, starting to pant heavily. Obviously, in order to rush over as soon as possible, she had consumed a lot of physical strength.

Wayne turned to look at the person. It was Triss, whose hair was wet by the rain and scattered on her head.

Seeing the sorceress in such a sorry state, his heart felt a little warm. At least after Triss was injured, she didn't run away like a coward. Not only did she escort the children out of danger, but she was also willing to take risks and rush back here at the fastest speed.

Not to mention those pampered sorceresses, even many men could not do this.

He took out an empty potion bottle from his waist pouch, put the Leshen's blue mutagen into it, walked quickly to Triss's side, and asked: "How are your injuries, Triss?"

"Don't worry, the Leshen has been killed by me. There is no danger here for the time being."

Triss heard this, the nervous expression on her face relaxed slightly, she let out a long breath, and was stroking her chest with her right hand, when she suddenly let out a painful cry of "Ouch."

Wayne saw this and looked toward her chest. I saw that on the two white and tender semi-circles of the sorceress, there was a clear bruise whipped by vines, and even the clothes on her chest were torn by the vines, revealing the beautiful scenery inside.

Perhaps if the fat here was not big enough and white enough, with the cushioning of this layer of meat pad, Triss might have suffered heavier injuries, who knows.

Wayne thought this in his mind, but his body did not hesitate at all. He took Triss in his arms with a princess carry and said: "You are injured, Triss. Let me hold you, so you will be more relaxed."

"By the way, after I destroyed the Leshen's huge totem, a strange scene appeared inside, which seemed to be a crack in space. It seems that you need to seal it again."

Being held by Wayne in a princess carry without warning, Triss's face turned slightly red, but she didn't refuse. She leaned her chest against his chest, used her hand to tidy up the wet red hair on her face, and tried her best to keep her image beautiful.

After hearing Wayne mention the space crack, her expression immediately became serious, and she said: "Is that so? Take me to see it quickly."

"Some space cracks are still very dangerous. Not only will they attract terrifying alien monsters, but they will also conduct alien energy from other worlds, polluting the surrounding environment."

Wayne didn't hesitate. After holding Triss near the space crack, the sorceress immediately closed her eyes and began to sense through her spiritual power. After a few minutes, Triss breathed a sigh of relief and raised her face to Wayne, saying: "The situation is okay. The opposite side of this space crack should not be a dangerous world, and I didn't feel any negative energy."

"However, after we go back to rest for a while, deal with the wounds, and prepare the materials for the magic ritual, I will come back to seal this space crack."

Wayne nodded, pretending to know nothing about the culprit of this matter, as if it were originally a space crack.

Because of the Conjunction of the Spheres in the witcher world, although space cracks cannot be said to be thousands, they are not rare things. This is also one of the reasons why all kinds of alien items and strange monsters always appear in this world.

Sorcerers have rich experience in sealing such cracks, which is also one of their main responsibilities as spellcasters to maintain world stability.

Seeing that there was a solution to the space crack, Wayne didn't delay, held Triss and said: "Well, since there is no danger here for the time being, let's go back to the city first."

"The blow that knocked you flying might have already injured your internal organs. It's better to be careful."

………………

An hour later, the two returned to Triss's family mansion.

Because her body was not injured, and she was wet all over, full of mud and sweat, which was very uncomfortable to stick to her body, Wayne chose to take a hot bath.

Fortunately, as a noble family, hot water is prepared 24 hours a day. Not only that, the Merigold family also has special baths for guests to use.

Wayne was not polite. After saying a word to the servant in charge, he enjoyed the entire bathroom alone.

After he lay in the warm hot water, the first thing in his mind was to check the unsealing of the Elder Blood.

*Ding! The conditions for unsealing the Elder Blood have been met. Do you want to unseal it? *

*Ding! The unsealing of the Elder Blood is divided into three stages: primary unsealing, advanced unsealing, and complete unsealing. These three stages must be completed one by one in order. *

*Ding! After the primary unsealing of the Elder Blood, the host will gain three abilities. *

*Ability 1, Blink: Can break through the obstacles of space by consuming the host's physical strength and magic power, performing short-distance space jumps. Distance limit: 300 meters. Cooldown: 5 seconds. *

*Ability 2, Source Awakening (Primary): As the owner of the Elder Blood, a natural Source, the body will become a medium for Chaos Magic, possessing extremely powerful magic potential, no longer affected by Dimeritium, and having a higher level of magic affinity. Effect: Magic limit +30, Magic intensity +15, Magic control +10. *

*Ability 3, Dimensional Travel (Primary): As the owner of the Elder Blood, you already have the ability to travel through time and space. However, as a primary unsealer of the bloodline, the host can currently only travel to the world opposite the crack through existing space cracks, or you can use ability points to temporarily strengthen the crack into a small space channel, allowing other creatures to travel back and forth. *

After reading the system's explanation of the Elder Blood, Wayne felt both happy and a little frustrated.

What makes him happy is that the three abilities unsealed by the Elder Blood are extremely powerful, no matter which one, and for him, a witcher, it is like adding wings to a tiger, and the goal of becoming the strongest witcher is just around the corner.

And what makes him frustrated is that ten ability points only completed the primary unsealing of the Elder Blood. If he wants to fully master the ability of the Elder Blood in the future, he will definitely need to consume more ability and prepare more time.
