Chapter 163 The Weak Mermaid Girl

Longyao City, Jinghu District.

After more than a month, Su Ming came here again, to Xu Qianqian's villa.

The difference is that this time, he did not come alone, but took Xu Qianqian's family's limousine and entered the villa with Xu Qianqian.

The villa was still the same as before, with servants, butlers, and maids, and it looked like an aristocratic home somewhere.

But now, Su Ming already knew that this was just Xu Qianqian's temporary residence and it couldn't even be called a home.

Of course, the real estate ownership of this villa is indeed signed in Xu Qianqian's name.

Su Ming learned from Xu Qianqian that this was a gift given to her by her grandfather, the current head of the Xu family, when she entered the Demon Hunting Academy.

Including the servants and maids, all of them were transferred from the Xu family to serve Xu Qianqian specifically.

In this regard, Su Ming could only sigh, "I don't understand the happiness of rich people," and secretly curse the evil capitalism.

But in reality, fortunately this villa is Xu Qianqian's personal real estate, otherwise she really wouldn't dare to leave Xiao Haier here.

Su Ming, led by Xu Qianqian, walked into the villa, but did not go to the residential area, but entered the backyard of the villa.

There is a swimming pool here.

The swimming pool covers a large area, almost as big as a basketball court, and the water is very clean. You can tell at a glance that someone maintains it on a daily basis, and the cleanliness here is always kept at a very high level.

However, when Su Ming arrived here, he found an ice platform floating in the middle of the swimming pool.

On the ice platform, the beautiful mermaid girl was lying there.

"Midoline."

A weak voice occasionally rang out from the mermaid girl's mouth.

It was seen that Xiao Hai'er seemed to have suffered a serious illness, lying half-dead on the ice platform, with his tail in the water, shaking slightly, but looking weak, giving people a feeling of extreme frailty and weakness.

Su Ming frowned when he saw this.

"How long has she been like this?"

Su Ming turned to Xu Qianqian and asked with a frown.

"It's been a while." Xu Qianqian answered truthfully, "She was already in a bad condition before entering the villa, and as time went by, her condition became worse and worse."

The reason why it turned out like this is actually very simple.

"Is it really the sequelae of the beating last time?"

Su Ming explained the reason.

"That should be it." Xu Qianqian nodded and said, "Although we gave the child some blood to trigger her regeneration ability and heal her wound, the lost blood and energy can't be restored so easily."

Since phantom demons have super-normal regenerative abilities, normal attacks are simply unable to cause effective damage to them.

But on the other hand, if effective damage was caused to the phantom demon, then this damage would definitely be a serious injury that even the super-normal regenerative ability could not recover from.

For example, the spiritual magic that is naturally countered by the phantom demon.

For example, there are alchemical weapons with miraculous effects.

The damage caused to the phantom demon by these two is something that cannot be restored by regeneration ability.

Even though Su Ming and Xu Qianqian triggered Xiao Haier's regenerative ability through blood and healed Xiao Haier's external injuries, the damage caused by both spiritual magic and alchemical weapons would directly affect the source of the phantom demon's power - blood.

Once the blood is depleted, it will be a bigger trouble than any injury for the phantom demon who feeds on blood, lives on blood, is bloodthirsty and regards blood as the source of power.

This is also why people have to be extremely careful when trying to capture phantom demons alive and extract their blood, so as not to accidentally harm them.

Otherwise, the blood and blood vessels are damaged, the extraction ceremony will not be able to proceed, and the complete blood vessels cannot be extracted to be used as the main material of the magic potion.

The reason why Xiao Haier is so weak and his condition is getting worse is because his blood and qi are damaged.

In other words, "If you want the child to fully recover, you must replenish her blood and restore her damaged blood."

Xu Qianqian said this.

However, this is not easy to do.

No, it should be said that it cannot be done easily.

"You know, what's the easiest way for a phantom demon to restore his blood and energy?"

Xu Qianqian looked straight at Su Ming.

Su Ming said calmly, "Is it blood sucking?"

The phantom demon has the ability to convert blood into power.

Whether it is to become stronger or evolve, the goal can be achieved by sucking blood.

It can be said that blood is everything to the phantom demon, the best special medicine, and the highest nutritional supplement.

As long as there is enough blood to absorb, not only can the damaged blood be restored, but even the accumulation of strength to evolve to a higher level can be achieved.

However, this time the blood that needs to be sucked is not like last time. Su Ming or Xu Qianqian can just make a cut and put a few drops in it.

"In her current state, if she wants to fully recover, she will have to suck the blood of at least dozens of people."

Xu Qianqian told Su Ming why it was not easy to do this.

Because it is inhumane.

Helping the phantom demons to harm humans is not treason or treason, but treason against the race.

"Does it have to hurt someone's life?" Su Ming was a little confused and couldn't help asking, "If it just requires a large amount of blood, then there should be a way that doesn't hurt anyone, right?"

For example, instead of using human blood, animal blood is used.

Phantom demons don't just suck human blood, they also suck animal blood.

Even if animal blood is not enough and human blood is needed, then with the power of the Xu family, it should not be difficult to intervene and bring out a large number of blood bags from places like hospitals.

In this way, wouldn’t the problem be solved?

Unfortunately, things are not that simple.

"Just like the blood extraction ritual cannot be used on a damaged phantom demon, when a phantom demon sucks the blood of others, sucking only a part of the blood and sucking all of the blood are two completely different concepts."

Xu Qianqian explained this knowledge to Su Ming.

"If you just want to fill your stomach, or like last time, slightly stimulate the regeneration ability of the phantom demons to awaken their inherent characteristics, then you can still do it perfunctorily. But when it comes to deep-level bloodline issues such as strengthening or even evolving, some perfunctory tricks will not work at all."

In other words, if the phantom demon wants to become more powerful, or even evolve, and convert the blood it sucks into its own power, it must completely suck the blood of others.

It is just a part of the blood. It is the same as the phantom demon with damaged bloodline cannot be used in the extraction ceremony. This blood is also incomplete and damaged. It cannot be converted into power at all to strengthen itself and evolve to a higher level.

If Xiao Haier wants to restore his damaged blood, he must suck the blood of dozens of people.

As for animal blood , "According to research, the efficiency of ordinary animal blood for phantom demons is far lower than that of human blood."

Xu Qianqian spoke like this.

"It's the same as how we humans get different nutrients from different foods. Human blood is the highest level tonic for phantom demons, while the blood of ordinary animals is probably only at the level of vegetables and radishes."

Therefore, the phantom demon would attack humans almost crazily after seeing them.

If a person saw an elixir floating in front of him, he would definitely have the same reaction.

"Then this method won't work, right?"

Su Ming had to admit this.

"Dozens of living people as sacrifices can probably be easily found in the underground world, but in the base city, unfortunately, even the Xu family can't find them."

Xu Qianqian said lightly.

Su Ming knew that Xu Qianqian must have something else to say.

That is, this is something that cannot be done openly.

If it happened secretly without anyone knowing, it is possible that some big families or big forces would do something cruel.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

Didn't Xu Yanyan not only leave several students, including Li Wei, unsure of their lives in order to eliminate Xu Qianqian, but also plan to eliminate all the private soldiers under Xu Qianqian's command? There were dozens of them in total.

Therefore, if she really didn't care about principles and had no bottom line, with Xu Qianqian's ability, it was not impossible for her to gather dozens of lives as sacrifices.

It is conceivable that this young lady would never do this.

At least, she would not kill dozens of people just to restore her status as a phantom demon.

Not only Xu Qianqian hadn't thought about this kind of thing, even Su Ming hadn't thought about it.

"If there were dozens of blind people attacking us right now and trying to kill us, things would be much easier."

Su Ming said this unconsciously.

Su Ming would naturally not persecute ordinary people for no reason.

But if the enemy is someone whose death is not worth it, he is still willing to take action.

"There won't be such a person here." Xu Qianqian simply broke Su Ming's fantasy and said, "Instead of thinking about such unrealistic things, it's better to think of other ways."

"Any other methods?" Su Ming spread his hands and said, "The only way is to bleed profusely and use some special extraordinary items to help the girl recover."

In this world, there are many extraordinary items that can have an effect on phantom demons.

Not to mention the natural treasures nurtured by the unique environment of the Demonic Prison, even in this modern world, some alchemy masters who take a different approach have developed alchemical potions or alchemical tools with strange and bizarre effects.

Among them, even if there are not many things that can replenish the blood and qi of the phantom demon and restore the damaged blood, they are not too few.

Although, from a human perspective, there is no need to conduct research on restoring the vitality and bloodline of phantom demons, but as the saying goes, where there is a need, there is a market. For the purpose of extraction rituals and to allow the precious bloodline to come into being, many alchemists have still developed such things.

If someone accidentally hurts the phantom demon whose blood they want to extract, causing it to be depleted and unable to be used in the ritual, then these things will come in handy.

The problem is , "Although this child is still young, he is the descendant of a high-level phantom demon after all, and there is a possibility that he will evolve into a nightmare species. Can ordinary extraordinary items really restore this level of blood?"

Xu Qianqian raised questions.

This is an issue that must be considered.

It is easy to imagine that the more advanced the bloodline is, the fewer things can have a clear effect on it.

The superior phantom demon bloodline has the potential to evolve into a nightmare species. It is absolutely difficult to restore this level of bloodline.

If this was not the case, Xu Qianqian would not have just stood there and watched, but would have found a way to treat Xiao Haier long ago.

Even for her, as the eldest daughter of the Xu family, it was not easy to find useful recovery items when encountering blood of this level.

Xu Qianqian had no choice but to watch until she brought Su Ming here today.

She has no way, but Su Ming may have a way.

For example, "If it's Yun Langyue, with her family's power, it shouldn't be difficult to prepare what we need."

Xu Qianqian said this with a hint of meaning.

Su Ming could only laugh.

Indeed, with the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce being the best in the four major base cities and doing a thriving business in the four major base cities, it must have handled this kind of extraordinary items.

Once Yun Langyue opened her mouth, it wouldn't take long for these things to be delivered to her for her to choose from.

Su Ming only needs to inform Yun Langyue and the problem will be solved.

Xu Qianqian's meaning was very clear. She just wanted to ask Su Ming whether he wanted to speak to Yun Langyue.

And it is obvious that Su Ming rejects it in his heart.

"I just owed her a big favor, and she's holding it in my mind. I don't know when she'll catch me and take advantage of me. How can I dare to owe her another favor now?"

Thinking of the favor he owed when he concocted the nightmare bloodline last time, and the promise he owed to Yun Langyue, Su Ming was speechless for a while.

Who knows why that fairy wants me to accompany her this time?

Su Ming was really a little scared.

"So what do you want to do?"

Xu Qianqian didn't know the details, but she didn't care and asked with a blank expression.

Su Ming immediately scratched his head.

Indeed, he was also wealthy, and his backpack was filled with many extraordinary items that he had opened from packages.

Su Ming really didn't remember having ever used something that could work on a phantom demon and restore its vitality.

Maybe they had been opened before, but because they were useless, Su Ming felt that he must have thrown them away and sold them, or thrown them into the mall and exchanged them for chips.

If you want to find such a thing now, you may not be able to find it.

"There's no other way. I can only bleed heavily once."

As he spoke, Su Ming flipped his hand and took out a stone covered with red veins from his backpack.

"This is.?"

Xu Qianqian was slightly startled when she saw this.

Su Ming didn't explain, he jumped and jumped onto the ice platform in the middle of the swimming pool.

"Midoline."

Xiao Haier seemed to have noticed the movement. He raised his head and looked at Su Ming. His eyes were a little dim. He seemed to be really out of shape and looked very weak.

But when Su Ming raised the red stone in his hand, Xiao Hai'er's eyes moved slightly and lit up.

Inside, a hint of surprise and desire welled up.
