Chapter 764: Chapter 388: The Ancestor’s Cremation Urn_1

[As Tide stares at you with a look of terror and despair, you lunge forward, your wide jaws open and ready to bite down.]

[The Wolf Poison automatically enters Tide’s body, depriving him of his ability to resurrect...]

[Bruh Tedd from the Bruh Clan has been killed by you!]

[You have killed Bruh Tedd, gaining experience +20 and adding a year to your lifespan.]

"So the lifespan only increases by one... alas..."

Mu You sighed, unsurprised. The effect of the Wolf Poison was to prevent resurrection, not to deduct all lifespan like the Poisonous Spring. Therefore, the lifespan given to the killer would only be extended by a year.

Mu You was not concerned and turned his attention to the loot.

[After searching the place where Bruh Tedd died, you found the ’Vampire Earl Skin’*1, ’Signed Blood Covenant’ *1, and ’Blood Shrine’*1...]

Upon his death, he dropped about a dozen items. However, only the first three were of use, the rest were common miscellaneous items.

Mu You examined them one by one.

[Vampire Earl skin: This is the skin left behind by Bruh Tedd upon his death. It contains some of Tide’s talents, but also carries with it some of the curses he had suffered.

Inherent talent:

Activation: Your Blood of Heart Vessels has a broader universality. Non-Blood Clan creatures (or skins) that eat it will also gain the effects of promotion and automatically unlock a hidden talent. This effect will only apply to non-Blood Clan creatures once.

Inherent curse: Bloodlust, Scorching Sun.]

"Huh?"

Mu You read the skin’s information in detail, particularly interested in the ’Activation’ talent.

In simple terms, according to the text, this talent allowed his Blood of Heart Vessels to promote all creatures, granting them entirely new talents, rather than being limited to vampires.

Of course, the price of advancement was that the creature would become his Blood Slave. Any creature knowing this fact would certainly not drink the Blood of Heart Vessels. After all, who would willingly become someone else’s slave just for an unknown talent?

Therefore, this talent seemed fairly useless on the surface, merely allowing him to enhance the strength of his blood servants when creating them.

However, it would be different if this ability were put into the hands of a player. That’s because players have a skin system!

Simply feeding the Blood of Heart Vessels to a skin can promote that skin!

[Your skin count is full. Do you want to fuse the Vampire Marquis skin with this skin?]

"No."

Mu You didn’t rush to fuse it, choosing to continue examining the loot.

[Signed Blood Pact: This is a Blood Covenant scroll that has been signed and sealed by both parties. The content is as follows.]

[Contract parties: Dawn of the Crimson · Tyrant, Bruh Clan · Bruh Tedd.

Contract content:

1, Bruh Tedd will help the Dawn of the Crimson form an alliance with the Blood Clan.

2, Bruh Tedd will do his best to help the Tyrant obtain the City of Eternal Night.

3, Dawn of the Crimson will help Bruh Tedd obtain three drops of Ancestor’s Blood.

4, After Bruh Tedd is promoted to Marquis, he will give three drops of his Blood of Heart Vessels to the Tyrant.

5, After capturing Sky City, Dawn of the Crimson will present a ’Boiling Blood Wolf’ to Bruh Tedd as a follower.]

As soon as he saw the contract, Mu You knew he was in the clear. He hadn’t misjudged it by arresting this fellow. Indeed, Tide was a mole!

Also, judging from the content of the contract, what Dawn of the Crimson seems to fancy is Tide’s ’Activation’ talent, presumably to use his Blood of Heart Vessels to evolve their werewolf skins.

Even though by taking Tide’s Blood of Heart Vessels they would automatically establish a Blood Bond relationship and become Blood Slaves, but this doesn’t matter to the players, as the bond is limited to the skin that took the heart blood. They just need to switch to another Skin to get rid of the effect of the Blood Bond.

However, Mu You suspected that these werewolf players would not tolerate being blood-bonded even if it was just one of their skin. They probably would have tried to kill Tide to permanently remove the Blood Bond after the contract was fulfilled.

Of course, Tide must have had his defenses up and wouldn’t have naively sent himself to the werewolves’ doors. Mu You had no idea what those people were thinking.

Mu You thought the matter should have come to an end at this point. However, when he continued to read the contract and saw the date it was signed, he was stunned.

The contract was signed on the first day of the ninth month, at the beginning of this month?

Mu You frowned. From the information he understood at the moment, Wolf Poison seemed to have appeared half a year ago, but Tide had signed the contract less than a month ago...

So, it seemed that Tide wasn’t the source of the Wolf Poison. Did the Blood Clan have other moles?

[Your skin count is full. Do you want to fuse the Vampire Marquis skin with this skin?]

The game prompted again.

Mu You snapped back to reality, pondered for a moment, and chose ’Yes’.

Originally, he thought Tide was the donor of the Wolf Poison and planned to take his heart to make an antidote after killing him. Since it turned out that he wasn’t the donor, his corpse was of no use and might as well be fused directly.

[You have combined the Vampire Earl skin, and your Vampire Earl skin has acquired the new talent of ’Activation’.]

[Randomly fusing curses... you have obtained ’High-degree Myopia’ curse, all scenery more than three meters away appears fuzzy to you. You would be better off getting glasses as soon as possible.]

"Oh?"

Mu You was taken aback. The curse of ’High-degree Myopia’ had appeared once before when introducing the talent of ’Survival of the Fittest’.
