Chapter 1161: Chapter 524 Bloody Path_2

Mu You guessed that the other party must have activated some Blood Rhythm; otherwise, such a significant change wouldn’t have occurred.

As he was thinking, the game’s text continued to pop up.

"Combat over. A blood-soaked man from Asia rushes back to your side, looking displeased at you,"You really didn’t help at all huh..."

As he spoke, the few bullet holes in his body were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye and were soon as good as new.

"Wasn’t it you who said not to show my face? What if I had taken action and been discovered by the enemy and taken hostage?" you answer matter-of-factly.

Actually, Mu You had attacked just now, mainly to test how good the gun given by this person was, and surprisingly, it was exactly like shooting fish in a barrel! He wasn’t sure if it was because of his high agility attribute, but he hit every shot!

However, Mu You had rewound all these shooting scenes, and the other party didn’t notice at all.

"Forget it, let’s pretend I didn’t say anything..." The man was rendered speechless by your retort and quickly changed the subject.

The man saw you staring at the corpses in the distance and, seeming to understand your intent to extract from them, laughed and said, "After a vampire dies, if there isn’t a special method to preserve them, the Blood of Heart Vessels will quickly lose its activity. These dead inferior vampires, even if you drain their blood, you will not gain any abilities, nor will you lower the generation count. To acquire abilities, you mainly rely on the Blood of Heart Vessels from low-generation vampires!"

Mu You was indeed interested in the corpses of these vampires, but not for extraction; it was because of the presence of the ’Cremation Urn.’

This Cremation Urn was the only item in the scene that could be manifested, with the effect being: to completely absorb a vampire’s remains and extract the usable Blood of Heart Vessels from them. The potency of the extracted Blood of Heart Vessels depended on the completeness of the remains and the era of death; the more intact the corpse and the more recent the death, the more likely one was to extract complete Blood of Heart Vessels.

And these corpses had just died, their damage not too severe; it was the best time to extract the blood.

Unfortunately, with the man watching, he didn’t want to reveal the artifact just yet.

The Asian man saw a look of regret on your face and thought you regretted losing a chance to advance, and he couldn’t help but laugh, "You saw my Blood Rhythm just now, didn’t you? How is it, quite powerful, right?"

The man boasted about his own Blood Rhythm, and you took the opportunity to ask, what Blood Rhythm did he use just now?

"It’s a Blood Rhythm called ’Bloody Path’: the more living beings within a ten-meter radius that show clear hostile behavior toward you, the more your overall abilities, including attributes, perception, defense, recovery speed, and so on, will proportionally increase!" The man confidently explained the effect of his Blood Rhythm.

"No wonder..."

Upon reading the explanation, Mu You immediately understood why the other had abandoned firearms and headed into the crowd for close-quarters combat. This Blood Rhythm was a divine skill in outnumbered situations, but it was a pity that it could only be utilized in melee combat.

"Impressive indeed!" you genuinely gave a thumbs up.

"Heh, this is a rare combat Blood Rhythm! There are no more than five people in the entire City of Enoch who possess it!" the man boasted proudly, then suddenly changed his tone and asked you with a seductive tone, "What do you think, are you interested in inheriting this talent of mine?"

The man’s sudden inquiry about inheriting talents actually meant whether Mu You wanted to consume his Blood of Heart Vessels.

"Well..." you hesitated. Consuming Blood of Heart Vessels would inevitably result in a Blood Bond, essentially making you his Blood Servant.

"What? Are you worried that I’ll control you with a Blood Bond? We belong to the same clan, and nominally, I’m your elder; why would I harm you? My help for you is purely for the purpose of making our bloodline proud and prosperous. Moreover, a Blood Bond formed by a drop of Blood of Heart Vessels is not strong; at most, it would make you unable to have any thought of harming me. If I truly wanted to harm you, you could just leave by yourself when the time comes!" the Asian man said.

One drop wasn’t enough, so the strategy was to warm up the water slowly, like boiling a frog, huh?

Mu You sneered to himself. After consuming the Blood of Heart Vessels, one did not immediately acquire all the Blood Rhythms of the other party, but only a random part of them. Moreover, the rarer the Blood Rhythm, the lower the probability of acquiring it.

Clearly, the man was gambling that with just one drop of Blood of Heart Vessels, Mu You wouldn’t immediately inherit ’Bloody Path.’ In pursuit of power, he would have to continue consuming more of the man’s heart blood until he was completely controlled.

Too bad the man didn’t know about artifacts like the Pocket Watch. For Mu You, probability did not exist.

"You show some interest, and after a moment of thought, you tell the other party that if they can help you complete this task, you will consume his Blood of Heart Vessels,"

"The man is overjoyed upon hearing this, hastily pats his chest in promise," "Don’t worry, I’ve got this task covered, guaranteed to help you complete it successfully!"

"Quick, over this way, we’ll soon reach their headquarters!" the man says and then eagerly leads you on, unable to wait any longer...

Having promised to take his Blood of Heart Vessels, this bastard brother was like a chicken on steroids, even more vigorously leading the way.

In the next few hours, the two searched throughout this underground world, following a basic pattern: whenever they approached an area where people might be, Mu You would first backtrack to scout out the enemy situation, followed by the Asian man striking with a wave of assault, killing anyone in their way, be it human or ghost.

Three hours later, as the sky was about to lighten, they finally breached multiple checkpoints and stormed the enemy’s nest.

At this, Mu You could only sigh; he had somewhat underestimated the difficulty of this task. If he had to complete this task alone, it was absolutely impossible for him to find this place!

As Mu You was contemplating, the battle had already begun in the game.

"Tianzaki Genzhong, you and I have had no quarrel, why attack us unprovoked!" a bald young man covered in tattoos, looking at several corpses lying on the ground in horror, glared angrily at an East Asian man in front.

"Sorry, Ariane, I didn’t want to fight you either, but unfortunately, I received a mission that I must eliminate you..." Tianzaki Genzhong sneered, his figure ghostlike, weaving through the crowd, with people falling and screaming as they dropped one by one.

"You actually choose to be the Regent King’s lapdog?" The bald young man grew even angrier upon hearing this, firing his gun repeatedly at the lightning-fast figure, and sneered, "You think I don’t know your weakness? Everyone else stop, let me fight him one-on-one!"

Following the bald man’s order, the dozen or so underlings immediately stopped their attack, and at the same time, the ghostly figure in the middle of the arena significantly slowed down and revealed his position.

Tianzaki Genzhong, now directly exposed to view, felt his strength swiftly leaving his body and couldn’t help but be taken aback, frantically trying to retreat and escape.

"Hehe, Bloody Path. I’ve been looking forward to getting my hands on this ability! Since you’ve come to me, I won’t be courteous," the bald man quickly caught up to Tianzaki Genzhong, claws outstretched, and began a fierce melee with the enemy...

Mu You watched with a slight frown.

The Bloody Path ability was indeed very powerful; in the current melee of one against over a dozen, it was almost like engaging an invincible mode, which was why the East Asian man dared to take on the challenge alone.

However, its weakness was also very clear. The activation condition for Blood Rhythm was ’hostile actions’ from others nearby; once outsiders stopped attacking, the enhancement would naturally disappear in an instant.

Thus, Blood Rhythm’s most feared scenario was a one-on-one duel.

Clearly, bastard brother didn’t expect that in such a hellish place, someone would know the effects of his Blood Rhythm, and he instantly started to lose.

Both men in the fight were eighth-generation vampires, but it was evident that bastard brother was no match, his life rapidly draining away, seemingly about to be killed first.

Mu You hesitated for a moment, then decided to lend a hand.

Firstly, to complete the task. If bastard brother was killed here, he would almost certainly not be able to defeat this gang on his own.

Secondly, because he had set his sights on bastard brother’s ’Bloody Path’ ability—a skill this practical, how could he possibly let someone else take it?

You hide in the distance, see the tide turning unfavorably, and suddenly draw your revolver, pulling the trigger in rapid succession towards the battlefield.

Several gunshots ring out, and all bullets strike the bald man in vital areas with precision.

Under the assault of specially made silver bullets, the bald man screams in pain, his life rapidly declining.

"Nice shooting!" Tianzaki Genzhong sees this and is overjoyed, hastily going in for the kill, and under the incredulous gaze of the bald man, he depletes his opponent’s life first...
