Quiet room.
Pop!
Ye Wuque opened a bottle of Netherblood Elixir, and immediately a strange and wonderful fragrance wafted out, which was very refreshing.
Ye Wuque maintained his act of greed and excitement, but a slight glint appeared in his eyes.
He was an alchemist; he could tell from the aroma alone that this Blood Elixir was extraordinary.
"It contains at least dozens of rare and precious materials, including some medicinal herbs, and there should also be other special substances..."
Ye Wuque looked into the bottle and saw that the "Netherblood Nectar" inside was blood-red, just as its name suggested; to be precise, it was a liquid like red wine.
"It doesn't contain any living blood, but that special substance must be some kind of primordial power full of vibrant life force. Interesting..."
This Ghost Blood Elixir piqued Ye Wuque's interest.
"This item seems to be able to help these beast guardians purify the power of the ferocious beast bloodlines fused within their bodies."
Moreover, with his discerning eye, he could naturally determine that the Netherblood Elixir had no hidden dangers, and that the black-faced elder had not left any contingency plans within it.
A pure and simple gift.
Therefore, Ye Wuque did not hesitate and immediately tilted his head back and took a swig.
The slightly cool, mellow liquid entered my mouth, instantly filling it with a delicate fragrance. After swallowing, it felt like a burning fuse, eventually exploding within my body, as if I had swallowed a ball of fire.
"A taste like strong liquor..."
"It can indeed purify the bloodline of ferocious beasts within the body to some extent..."
"Hmm, there's still a tiny, even slim, chance that the beast's bloodline can undergo a transformation and evolution..."
Ye Wuque closed his eyes and carefully tasted and analyzed the product.
"It is indeed a rare find, something that is extremely valuable for a Beast Guardian."
"But for me right now..."
"It's like a novel and exciting drink that only provides a fleeting thrill."
After opening his eyes, Ye Wuque took another big gulp.
With his current strength, the Netherblood Elixir is useless to him. Although it contains powerful energy that targets the bloodline of ferocious beasts, he has long since surpassed that level.
As for the bloodline power of the "Ancient Overlord Tiger", it is something that this mere Nether Blood Elixir cannot shake.
"According to Xuan San's memory, for the Beast Guardian, each bottle of Netherblood Elixir is priceless. It can only be obtained by completing tasks, accumulating merits, and receiving rewards or exchanging for it. Each bottle is regarded as a treasure."
"But the black-faced elder can casually take out three bottles, which shows the difference in status between the black-faced elder and the beast protector."
"As for this Netherblood Elixir, for a powerful figure like the Black-Faced Elder, it can only be considered a fine wine to satisfy their cravings, and it has no effect on their own bloodline."
"Then perhaps this beast organization contains even higher-grade and more precious 'Netherblood Elixir'!"
"If it can be useful even for the Black-Faced Elder, then it's not impossible..."
Ye Wuque seemed to be deep in thought.
For the next ten days or so, Ye Wuque stayed in the quiet room.
However, he did not gulp down three bottles of Netherblood Elixir, but rather in stages. After all, given Xuan San's strength, it would be impossible for him to drink all three bottles of Netherblood Elixir in one go. He would either risk his life to evolve his bloodline or expose himself.
Although Ye Wuque had long wanted to leave and delve deeper into the Beast Organization to investigate various matters, he had to wait patiently for the moment and could not force his way out.
"As expected, after questioning the four of us, the dark-faced elder gathered sufficiently detailed information about the ancient ruins..."
"Next, he should immediately send his trusted confidants to go again to carefully inspect and search. He might even go himself."
"Therefore, Elder Blackface must have been waiting for news over the past few days."
"But judging from the timeline, it's about time, it should be within the next two or three days..."
Even if the Black-Faced Elder had no reason, he couldn't keep them locked in the meditation room indefinitely; that wouldn't comply with the Beast Organization's rules.
Especially the Beast Guardian who made great contributions.
Unless the Black-Faced Elder wants to kill them and is deliberately targeting them.
But judging from the current attitude, it's unlikely.
Ye Wuque sat cross-legged in the quiet room, his mind as clear as a mirror, seeing through everything.
in this way.
Two more days passed.
Click!
The deathly silence of the quiet room was broken as the tightly closed door suddenly burst open!
A dark figure appeared in front of the door.
Ye Wuque, who was sitting cross-legged, immediately jumped up, looking extremely nervous!
"Greetings, Commander... um?"
Just as Ye Wuque hurriedly bowed respectfully, he discovered that the person standing at the door did not seem to be the black-faced elder, but another beast protector who was also wearing a beast mask!
But the aura emanating from him was intense and domineering, and the beast mask was completely unfamiliar.
However, the surging energy it emitted was in no way inferior to that of Zhu Yi.
This is a Sequence One Beast Guardian!
Is he the Black-Faced Elder's confidant?
Ye Wuque immediately understood, but continued to bow.
"Greetings, Lord Sequence One!"
The gaze beneath the mask of the first-order beast guardian swept over Ye Wuque, revealing a cold disdain.
This is the kind of condescending disdain that comes with being above those below you in Sequence One.
"Follow me."
The first beast guardian spoke coldly, then immediately turned and left.
Ye Wuque hurriedly followed.
The long, narrow, and dark corridors are interconnected, leading to who-knows-where.
Xuan San has no memory of this place whatsoever.
This is a place that Sequence Three members are not even qualified to enter on ordinary days.
After turning a corner, Ye Wuque suddenly saw two forks in the road. Then, he saw two Sequence One Beast Guardians, each followed by two familiar figures who were being cautious.
Phase three.
Jiao San.
In an instant, the two of them also saw Ye Wuque. All three of them saw each other and their expressions changed, but no one dared to speak.
The three Sequence Guardians and one Beast Guardian gathered together and walked side by side. Ye Wuque, Xiang San, and Jiao San walked in a row without saying a word.
However, Candle One did not appear.
Finally, another magnificent room arrived, understated yet luxurious.
The first beast guardian of the sequence let them in, and then the six figures stood respectfully, waiting quietly.
About fifteen minutes later.
The door opened, and Elder You walked in.
Ye Wuque and the other two immediately tensed up, their faces filled with fear.
Elder You was carrying a box in his hand, and then sat down.
"Greetings, Elder!"
Ye Wuque and the other two immediately trembled and spoke.
Elder You, who had sat down, glanced at the three of them.
After a long while, the sound finally rang out.
"After questioning and examination, it can be confirmed that your achievements this time are beyond reproach."
"You brought back a potential level 5 talent, and you also brought back important intelligence."
"They are all meritorious individuals! They are all considered talented people!"
"And I've always admired talent... You're quite lucky..."
Elder You sighed softly, his tone wistful.
"It was just the right time."
"So, I'm giving you a chance. Are you willing to work under me and become my 'Elder You's' retinue?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Wuque, Xiang San, and Jiao San were all stunned!
I can hardly believe my ears!
But Elder You continued, "It's alright, no rush, think it over slowly and make a decision later."
Xiang San was already trembling with excitement.
The same applies to Jiao San.
What about Ye Wuque...?
Even more exaggeratedly, he clenched his fists, extremely excited.
Before they could speak, Elder You's voice continued to resound.
"There is another extremely important reason why I am giving you this opportunity..."
"That means you didn't lie to me."
"That's good."
"Not like him..."
As they spoke, Elder You casually opened the wooden box that was placed on the table.
Instantly, a strong smell of blood filled the air!
Ye Wuque, Xiang San, and Jiao San were struck as if by lightning!
The expression beneath the mask turned pale with fear!
Because right inside that wooden box lay a bloody human head!
The blood had not yet dried.
Although his face was contorted!
He died with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
His eyes held endless fear, despair, and pleading!
But it's still easily recognizable; this is precisely...
Zhuyi!
Xiang San and Jiao San were so frightened they almost knelt down!
Ye Wuque's legs went weak, and he swayed unsteadily, looking utterly terrified.
But in his heart, he was calmly watching a play.
"As expected, tsk tsk, they died a horrible death..."
