Chapter 349: Chapter 317 Blood Clan Ancestor_2

Lin Suo’s eyes sharpened.

The expressions of the Blood Finger Five changed drastically, but they found they could no longer control their bodies; their right hands involuntarily stretched into their mouths, seizing their own tongues.

—Puchi!

Five streams of blood jetted out, and five tongues now lay upon the meteorite.

To a Legendary Wizard like Lin Suo, such injuries were trivial. What he needed was the power to intimidate; to control criminals effectively, one had to be ruthless and cold-blooded, only then could their cunning thoughts be truly suppressed.

"Come back with me."

"Yes!"

The five dared not resist and did not dare to utter a word as they bowed their heads.

Only then did Lin Suo turn his attention to this peculiar piece of flesh. Concerning the Bloodline Ancestor, he had encountered an individual known as "Byron Herbert Eternal Night."

He was proclaimed the Eternal Night King.

During the period of Padolon’s destruction, he was reclaimed by the peak Legendary of the Silver Star Alliance; thus, this was the second Bloodline Ancestor he had encountered.

As he was interested in the Crimson Element, a power unique to the Blood Clan, it was a good opportunity to take it back for research.

He also reviewed the data on Crimson Weapons recorded by Blood Thumb.

He was certain that Wizard Roland, who was searching for this thing, and perhaps the Red Empire Fleet might also want to get their hands on it.

"Crimson Weapons, biological weapons, huh..."

"Let’s go."

Ripping open a spatial portal again, Lin Suo grasped the chunk of flesh, using a Shrinking Spell to reduce it to the size of a fingernail cap and kneaded it in his hand.

He prepared to immediately return to Leviathan.

...

Time rewound to half an hour earlier.

Five minutes after Lin Suo’s original body left, Leviathan promptly opened a dimensional channel, commencing retreat.

Of the 18 subordinates he dispatched, only 8 returned, bringing with them hundreds of captives.

As for the ten who hadn’t made it back in time for the retreat, whether they had deliberately failed to make the timeline or had intentionally fled, it was of no concern. Once Lin Suo returned to Leviathan, he had his ways of getting these people back in line.

However, Leviathan’s departure left the five peak Legendary Wizards somewhat conflicted. They wanted to prevent it but feared the other party was indeed an enforcer from the Libra Court.

To hastily obstruct them could have dire consequences after this situation was resolved.

Considering the other party had not approached the Research Institute and had even dispatched a number of people to disembark and capture the attackers, astonishingly, not a single one stepped in to intervene, simply watching as Leviathan entered the dimensional channel.

To them, identifying the culprit to take the blame was the top priority. Not just anyone could have access to something like the Star Annihilation Roar Cannon; it was a matter of great significance, one that needed to be resolved by capturing those involved.

After a chaotic half-hour, destroying nearly a thousand starships and capturing nearly ten thousand people, these were their results. There was no need to pursue further.

The five exchanged a glance and returned to their original coordinates to find Roland.

"How is it, did you find the Source Blood?"

Roland’s face was grim as he shook his head.

"It’s all been destroyed, the Source Blood has disappeared, leaving only one finished product ’Ancestor Blood Demon’ which possesses undying properties only second to the true Blood Ancestor."

"However, I’ve captured two Black Witch disciples of the Evil God who appear to be humans from the Red Empire."

Roland took out two unconscious individuals from his space pouch, exchanging information with his teammates.

However, the disappearance of the Source Blood...

It was certainly not good news; they either had to share the blame or pin it on the attackers. Otherwise, failing to single someone out meant not dying but still being skinned alive.

At this point, another peak Legendary Wizard spoke up.

"Apart from these two attackers, there were also issues in the core laboratory where the Source Blood was stored. Before them, someone had tampered with Taylor from the Rockwood family."

"Ma Fager had sent me a message at the time; I thought it was these two fellows who triggered the alarm."

Roland shook his head and then nodded.

"He also reported to me; it must’ve been the self-check module that was triggered, coincidentally finding these two thieves."

"Unfortunately, Ma Fager and Taylor both died under the Star Annihilation Roar Cannon, leaving only the six of us."

The six were a bit troubled.

Suddenly, another had an epiphany.

"Do you think that the one who fired the Roaring Cannon, knowing they had succeeded, decided to eradicate the evidence and therefore struck decisively?"

"And that the giant Flesh Battleship belonged to these two thieves’ master or employer; the owner of the Flesh Battleship also coveted the Source Blood but was influenced by the party that fired the Roaring Cannon."

"Only then decided to join forces with us to strike at these attackers."

"They want the Source Blood too! It must be!"

The peak Legendary Wizard grew more excited as he spoke.

"After all, we hadn’t thought it through before. Recent analysis suggests they couldn’t possibly be people from the Court, so this is the most plausible explanation."

This statement, this rationale, implied an unspoken message—"Align our narrative!".

The remaining five thought for a moment, then spoke.

"There’s also that possibility."

"Roland contacted the Judgment Court to confirm the identity of the Flesh Battleship owner. In the end, didn’t they join forces with us? They’re also capturing the attackers alive, maybe they want to interrogate?"

"That makes sense."

"I think it’s reasonable."

"Not bad."

"Same thought."

The six shared a smile, like grasshoppers on the same boat; if someone had to take the blame, things would be easier to handle.

"Just extract the memory directly."

...

On the Leviathan.

Lin Suo had just returned, still unaware of the reasonable speculation the others had made, but he wasn’t panicked at all. No way would the blame land on him.

He was just a minor wizard, what did it have to do with him?

The purpose of this visit was to avenge his subordinates and incidentally plunder some resources.

So far, Lin Suo had only acquired a meat chunk resembling a Blood Ancestor; it was unclear whether it was a loss or a gain, but the information they gathered was quite valuable.

The deeper the understanding of the combatants involved in this wizard war, the more familiar with the Star Sea situation one becomes, giving an illusion of being hand-in-glove.

But as soon as he returned to the Leviathan, he found that out of eighteen legendary henchmen, only eight returned. Without making a show of force, would they really think he’s so easy to push over?

Gather in the Flesh Hall.

Lin Suo looked directly at the Blood Finger brothers. They also realized something was wrong; half of their teammates were missing and also understood Lin Suo’s implication.

No matter how bitter they felt inside.

They could only step forward and kneel before everyone.

To critique their own mistakes and ask for Lin Suo’s punishment.

This scene was quite incredible for the eight who returned, as the Blood Finger·Five Twins were one of the top teams among them, quite famous.

With such cooperation, Lin Suo granted their wish.

They were hung in the center of the Flesh Hall, punished by the Nether Angel with a whipping for eight hours every day—a punishment both harsh and light.

Harsh in trampling their pride, light because the torture intensity was a bit too weak for legendary wizards, he needed to devise some more thrilling torture devices.

Smack, smack, smack...

The oil whip covered in barbs fiercely lashed on the Blood Fingers’ bodies, instantly making their flesh blur (without resistance), with screams endless.

Lin Suo then spoke.

"In no more than seven days, the ten who ran away will return, Poison Wolf Maris, Evil Fighter Gangzeluo, Black Witch Jixi, Thrusting Sword·Vis, Worm Tail Andrew..."

Name by name he read out, directly using the sense between his Talent and the Power of Synthesis, remotely manipulates the ten escapees, instructing Leviathan to find a barren area to settle down.

Waiting for these people to "return" on their own.

After this attempt, once they knew Lin Suo could remotely control them, for a very long time, they would behave themselves, unless they found a way to regain their freedom.

Lin Suo, like taming beasts, continuously subdued these rebellious criminals.

This was a necessary process.

During the wait, Lin Suo hardly ever went out, staying in the lab to research the Blood Ancestor meat.

With the Eye of Truth and the most advanced equipment assisting.

He quickly found out the reason why a Blood Clan Ancestor had turned out this way.

"Magic power out of control."

On the experiment table, Lin Suo held a magnifying glass-like magic tool, inch by inch, scanning over the deformed meat chunk.

Such a phenomenon, actually often occurred in wizard apprentices and is known as "Deterioration Phenomenon," generally caused by excessive meditation or bloodline getting out of control.

This thing belonged to the second: bloodline getting out of control.

The wizards from the Ancestor Research Institute, in their further attempts to enhance the Blood Clan’s undying trait, conducted various experiments leading to bloodline loss of control.

Flesh proliferation was severe, completely losing human form.

And because the experiments were conducted too many times, each time reaching an irreversible extent, they would choose to kill the Blood Ancestor, letting it reset to the most primitive Source Blood Form.

Like loading a saved game.

Sadly, while this regeneration ability is abnormal, it is still an intelligent being. The long torment of experiments + resetting, caused it to even lose its memories.

What Lin Suo was doing now, was attempting to return its runaway condition back to normal.

"Tower Spirit 32, calculate the target’s magic power circuit, choose the runaway points for annotation, prepare Washing Water."
