Round? The dark golden lion pupils startled Jeroen. Such a normal pupil shape was too abnormal for a demon hunter. He didn't expect that the demon hunter mutation he had transformed so drastically would lead to such a pair of unique eyes.

But this is a small matter. Demon hunters can mutate into any strange physical characteristics. Although eyes of this shape and color have never appeared before, it is not unacceptable.

Lann also saw Gerald. He pondered for a moment and quickly understood the situation: "If I am not mistaken, it was you who saved me. I am Lann of Cintra, Lann Lannister Rhaanron, thank you very much."

Jeroen shook his head. "You saved me too. You didn't have to do this. Since you showed up in Thomas Moreau's laboratory, you must have heard my name. I'm Jeroen Moreau. Thank you for freeing me from that monster."

After that, Geron hesitated for a moment and said, "But as you can see, you are now a demon hunter like me."

Jielong briefly explained to Lan the situation in the laboratory at that time, and Lan expressed his understanding and gratitude again. He also expressed his respect for the demon hunter.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come to explore this lab."

Jielong showed a relieved smile on his face. He was most worried that Lann would reject the identity of a demon hunter after waking up and would rather die than surrender. Now he finally felt relieved.

He then said with concern: "There were some unexpected things in your experiment. I even thought that the mutation failed. Although it seems to be fine now, it's better to check it out. Feel it yourself first, and I will use the experimental equipment to give you a detailed analysis later."

Lan nodded, closed his eyes and felt his body, his mind already immersed in the system panel.

It is very intuitive to see that first the race changes from [Human] to [Demon Hunter], and the health points are directly increased by 1000 points, which is the initial health value of the Demon Hunter in the game; the mana value is turned on, a lot of skills are added, and the follower column has also been opened.

The most important thing is that the suffix of Ancient Blood has become [(Partial Awakening)]!

Looking at the dazzling array of skills, Lann had a guess in his mind, and his mind instantly sank into the skill column.

First, all types of skills are unlocked:

The [Adrenaline] category in the [Combat] category can generate adrenaline to increase attack power during battle. You can then learn skills to use adrenaline to enhance magic and even make you immune to instant death damage.

The [Seal] category is fully unlocked, and the basic versions of the five seals can all be used, as well as a series of subsequent variant skills.

The unlocking of [Mutation] and [Trial of Grass] in the [Alchemy] category allows Lann to extract mutations from monsters to strengthen himself, while combining with potions to unleash power several times greater than his own.

Among the general skills, the skill [Griffin School Skills] is automatically activated after completing the Demon Hunter Trial.

[Griffin School Skills]: For each piece of medium armor equipped, the strength of the seal increases by 25% and the mana recovery increases by 5%.

The medium armor is equivalent to the armor of light cavalry. Compared with the full body plate armor he wore before, it is more like a design based on plate armor mixed with mail and cotton armor. Compared with simple plate armor, the medium armor of the Griffin School can more flexibly cope with battlefields in various environments while ensuring a certain degree of defense - such as slaying dragons.

After learning these basic skills, Lann also discovered that there were two new interfaces in the skill bar.

One of the blocks is labeled: [Secondary mutation].

The skills of secondary mutation include: [Magic Sense], [Bone-piercing], [Magic Guidance]; [Poisonous Blood], [Addiction], [Strange Skin]; [Death Strike], [Bloody Bath], [Hot Blood], [Cat's Eye]; [Transformation], [Rebirth].

There are twelve skills in total, which are also divided into three categories: [Combat], [Spells], and [Alchemy], but some skills include effects from more than one category. Each skill is an extension of the three basic skills, greatly raising the upper limit of the demon hunter's power.

However, the skill points required for these skills are much higher than those of general basic skills. There are four levels in total, and 2, 3, 5, and 7 points are required to light up the skills of the corresponding levels. Fortunately, they do not need to be upgraded, and they can play their full role as soon as they are lit up, and their strength is worth the price.

But Lann remembered that these skills in the original work required a huge amount of red, blue and green mutants to unlock, but he didn't know why they were not used now.

(In the countless monster gathering places where Geron opened the portal, many scavengers were waiting beside the skeletons of large monsters, hoping that food would fall from the sky again).

Among these secondary mutation skills, three unexpected first-level skills were also unlocked, namely:

[Magic Sense (Seal Type)]: Seals can have critical hits. The higher the strength of the seal, the higher the critical hit rate. Enemies killed by a seal's critical hit will explode.

[Poisonous Blood (Alchemy)]: The blood of the demon hunter is poisonous.

[Death Strike (Combat)]: When the enemy fails to block a melee attack, the damage taken increases by 25%. When the enemy's health is below 25%, blocking is more likely to trigger a finishing move.

What surprised Lan the most was the opening of a skill category that had never been seen in the game - [Ancient Blood].

However, there is only one lonely skill lit up on this page, and the remaining skills are in the familiar sealed state, the type that you can’t add points to even if you want to.

The only awakened skill, [Ancient Blood], also has a very rough effect—

[Magic Tide]: Total mana increases by 100%, and all magic-related skills increase in level by +1 after learning.

A simple and crude skill, this skill can save 20 skill points for Lann's [Spell] skill. If this "+1" special effect can still play a role after the spell reaches the maximum level, it will be another super skill that breaks the upper limit.

Moreover, if Lann learns magic on his own in the future with his magical talent, this skill might still come in handy.

The only drawback is that the time-travelling skills of the Ancient Blood have not yet appeared. Lann thinks that it is because his bloodline has not been developed enough. Even Ciri, the prophesied savior in the original book, will not initially show space-related abilities until several years after awakening her bloodline. There is no rush.

However, even if magic is only the most basic special effect of the Ancient Blood, it exceeds any known magic-type talent. It is a hard power with a large amount of mana and the highest magic power.

Lann estimated that his talent in magic was no less than that of the so-called "sources of law" and "source sorcerers", and might even surpass it.

If he is really willing to start a fifty-year college entrance examination and a thirty-year simulation to practice magic, I think he can also replicate the feat of Viggo Fortz who was able to enter the highest executive body of the Warlock Brotherhood before the age of a hundred. It is not impossible for him to achieve the same achievements as Alzu after a few hundred years.

At this moment, Lann felt that he was full of fighting spirit and strength.

In addition, the system also liberates two additional functions, one is the inventory bar, and the other is the follower bar system.

[Follower: (empty)]: One skill point opens a follower slot, and spends experience points to contract a follower of level (1). The experience cost decreases with the follower's loyalty. The follower can provide 20% of the experience gained by itself and share some abilities.

When you click on this interface, there is already a blank page. I guess you can contract a follower.

The last one is the inventory. Lann pressed his hand and a stone next to him disappeared. A prompt also appeared in the interface in a timely manner: [Stone].

Very good, these days you’d be embarrassed to call yourself a time traveler if you don’t have storage space, so now you have all the necessary equipment.

Jielong, who had been paying attention to this place, was stunned by Lan's action of capturing objects in space, and asked hesitantly: "Are you... okay?"

Lan took the stone out of the inventory again, tossed it, and said with a smile:

“I’ve never felt so good.”

Closing his eyes and carefully feeling the power surging in his body, Lan En was about to give it a try, but suddenly he felt a sense of loss, as if something was missing.

"Heifeng...where is my horse? Have you seen a horse in the laboratory?"

Jielong lowered his eyes, and the joy on his face of having a new heir became restrained.

Lann felt a sense of foreboding.

Lan followed Geron all the way back to the underground laboratory and saw a specially made large culture tank. A huge and soft horse was soaking in it.

The originally black fur became even more dull and lifeless, which was the coagulated black blood; the unknown mutant fluid in the culture tank was dyed red, but even so, the body was still bleeding all the time.

Every inch of its skin was covered with needle holes, and it was hard to tell whether there was more blood or potion in its body.

Its limbs were like noodles hanging on the bottom of the tank, and it was unclear how many pieces the bones were broken into, and it was even hard to tell if there were any bones in the legs. Only the head was floating outside thanks to the buoyancy of the water, and its nostrils, which occasionally expanded, were the only part of its body that moved.

Lann looked at his old friend and suddenly felt a blockage in his chest. He strode forward and suddenly stopped in front of the culture tank. He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the horse's mane as usual, but he was afraid that he might touch something he couldn't accept and so he hovered in the air.

Wait a minute—Lan suddenly glanced at the description of the follower column again: Spend experience points to contract a follower of level (1).

If the follower can heal all injuries every time it changes level, just like you, then...

Jielong's tone was filled with sighs. He had never seen such a warhorse before. "It has been six months since I soaked it in here. Since then, it has been unable to see, hear, or move. Although it still has basic vital signs, I feel that it has been filled with those potions and turned into a specimen. I wonder if it is still alive..."

Jielong suddenly stopped talking in disbelief, feeling that he had seen too many incredible things today.

Facing Lan's right hand suspended in the air, Heifeng, who was blind and deaf, and had been standing motionless like a specimen in the culture tank for six months, suddenly stretched his neck forward gently.

——Put my forehead into that warm palm.

Lann said softly but firmly, "It's still alive."

【Follower, Contract】

The experience value jumped slightly, dropping from [948] to [947].

Instantly a new row of attribute columns appeared in the system:

[Follower: Black Wind

Gender: Male

Race: Demon Hunter (Sintramau)

Level: 1

Talent: None

Experience value: 0/1000

HP: 1500/1500

Mana: 100/100

Inventory: None

Skills: Fat and Strong, War Frenzy, Griffin School Skills

Mission: None]

After the attribute column indicating the success of the contract follower appeared, the system sent a series of prompts:

[Shared follower talent failed]

[Sharing follower skills]

[Skills Acquired: Griffin School Techniques]

[This skill already exists]

[Skill Point +1]

Lann raised his eyebrows and roughly understood the procedure of the follower system. It was probably to prioritize sharing talents, and if sharing failed, a skill would be randomly selected. If this skill happened to be one that he knew, then a skill point would be added.

Very good, according to the situation that one skill opens one follower column, it is not a loss. It's just that the skill I drew this time happened to be in the system, and I don't know what will happen if I draw a skill outside the system.

While Lan was thinking, Black Wind stretched out his legs and stood up from the culture tank. A large amount of culture fluid was displaced by its body, and for a moment it was like a small waterfall. The weak body that had not moved for several months now swelled up like a balloon, with rocks-like black muscles.

Heifeng's huge amber eyes reflected Lann's face. The pupils that should have belonged to a beast were now as soft as the sunshine in early winter.
