Chapter 280: Starting a Fire
Rustle.
A huge and strange figure walked out of the woods and stopped in front of Bai Wei.
He should be human.
Because his whole body is made up of human limbs and organs.
But the reason why I say "should" is because these limbs and organs... are a little too many.
Not to mention the broken limbs that grew out from all directions like tentacles, there were seven mouths on his face alone. And each mouth was drooling like a starving person who finally saw food.
This is exactly Abeke.
He stared at Bai Wei intently, and made unclear "gurgling" sounds from his mouth. Most people could not hear what he was saying.
But Bai Wei could hear it clearly.
He was shouting “Visas.”
Bai Wei sighed softly: "I really did come up with something amazing by accident."
It was obvious that on the way here, Abeke devoured and assimilated the remains of the Devourers that had been previously [controlled] by Bai Wei.
Hmm...should we say assimilation?
Or is it that two crazy people getting together becomes even crazier?
"Do you still remember my voice, Mr. Frontal?" Bai Wei asked kindly.
Abeke tilted his head and looked at Bai Wei, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by the endless devouring instinct.
"Visas..."
“Here…”
"I found you!"
"I found you! I found you!"
The mouth on his face uttered words one after another, the tone changing from confusion to excitement, and then to uncontrollable impulse.
Then he rushed towards Bai Wei, and seven mouths spoke in unison, which was rare.
"Eat you!"
Bai Wei immediately stepped back with a light "tsk" sound, and at the same time formed a hand seal. Suddenly, countless magic chains sprang out from the ground and headed straight for Abeke.
But he has many magic chains, and Abeke has many hands.
Most wild beasts were on all fours, but Abeke didn't know how many limbs he had on the ground. He only used a few of the strong ones to run, and the rest of his limbs reacted quickly to grab the magic chains that were shot at him.
His speed was not affected at all. At this moment, he looked like a bull trying to break free from countless shackles, quickly approaching Bai Wei.
But Bai Wei did not panic. He first controlled the captured magic chains and let them wrap around Abek's limbs, making the connection between them deeper.
Then, the roar of electric saws was heard, and those limp magic chains began to shake as if they were suddenly injected with electricity.
[Overload]!
In an instant, these magic chains that were like thin ropes a second ago became strong and powerful, like a driven machine, their power and intensity suddenly increased dozens of times.
"Swish!"
Dozens of Abeke's limbs were dismantled by these magic chains in an instant, and broken limbs and flesh flew in the air like dandelions.
And Abeke is like a dandelion that has lost its stamens, with only a bare branch left.
But he still did not stop approaching Bai Wei, as if he did not feel any pain. In fact, after getting rid of those burdens, he ran faster than before.
"clang"!
Bai Wei took out the serrated knife behind him, and as he unfolded it, he cut his palm with the blade, letting his blood stain the knife.
Then he stepped forward and swung his knife.
Abeke's movements were already very fast, but with the help of [Overload], Bai Wei could achieve a speed far exceeding Abeke's in just one or two moments.
Then the serrated knife began to cut into Abeke's left chest.
With a "swish" sound, the knife was pulled out from Abeke's right shoulder.
The already bald body was split into two again.
However, it was only split in two for a few seconds.
Countless fine tentacles suddenly spurted out from the cuts between the upper and lower halves of Abeke's body.
These tentacles began to grow wildly in just a few seconds, intertwining with each other, and actually "pulled" the two halves of the body back before they fell to the ground, and merged into one again.
Bai Wei also saw this scene, but he was not surprised at all, because this attack was not intended to kill Abeke.
Instead, he let the blood he had previously spilled on the blade enter Abeke's body.
As for why we do this...
Under the gaze of his left eye, Bai Wei watched his blood spreading wildly in Abeke's body, like an unstoppable virus, quickly spreading to the brain.
Then he formed the hand seal.
The same handprint as the "Blood-drawn" hunter statue behind Abeke.
With a loud "boom"!
Abeke's head exploded, and blood and brain matter splattered in the air like a watermelon falling to the ground.
Rustle.
The broken head grew countless fine tentacles, trying to repair the brain as before.
However, the scattered blood turned into a raging fire at this moment, burning everything it could touch.
Yes, this is the blood-drawing technique of the Senro Hunter.
As the soul of Visas, Bai Wei has always been able to inherit the host's abilities.
For example, Uru's [Mist Barrier Fire] and [Magic Chains], Jellal's [Overload] and some of Hevinia's music spells.
But a few days ago, Bai Wei had a new host.
Even though they only worked together for an hour, the other party didn't even know who Bai Wei was.
But this is not important, Bai Wei still got his most important ability.
Yes, the blood-drawing technique of the old hunter Ryan.
The blood fire of the Senro Hunter is naturally able to fight against all strange and undead existences. No new tentacles grew from the parts of Abeke that were burned by the flames, and he himself finally stopped shouting "Visas" and screamed, as if he finally felt the pain.
He rolled on the ground desperately, trying to put out the fire on his body.
But the hunter's fire could not be extinguished before it consumed everything.
Bai Wei looked at him quietly.
After a few minutes, he stopped struggling and turned into charcoal.
…
"Are you sure it's blood therapy?" After hearing what Vic said, Ivana's face was full of disbelief, "Isn't it resonance?"
"Well, it's blood therapy, not resonance." Vic said.
"But how is this possible?" Ivana said, "Blood healing is probably the most useless of all hunter skills, because hunters have excellent self-healing abilities, and they don't need to use blood to heal others."
After Yvina put out the four statues she remembered, she thought that Vic and Ade, who had been there for half a month, had gone to the Statue of Resonance.
Although Resonance, like Blood Healing, is not a combat skill and therefore rarely chosen by hunters, it does seem like a skill that Vic, a guy who has such deep feelings for Ade, would choose.
And Vic's current condition is most likely a sequelae of the resonance.
But now Vic told Ivana that half a month ago he chose blood therapy instead of resonance.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?" Ivana couldn't help but ask again.
"I'm sure!"
He remembered what Vic had said to him... no, what he had said to Ade half a month ago.
"Ade and I already have a telepathic connection, so we don't need this extra technique." He whispered, "On the contrary, he saw that I... no, I saw that Ade has been feeling unwell, so he wanted to get the blood therapy technique to cure Ade."
After hearing what Vic said, Ivana couldn't help but widen her eyes and was speechless for a long time.
Although Yvina already knew from Vic's previous narration that Ade had been feeling unwell since arriving here, as if he was sick, she never expected that Vic would choose her hunter skills because of this.
What is this?
They had finally come here, and finally reached this place, but in the end...
"Miss Saint?" Vic looked at Ivana's suffocated expression and asked cautiously, "Did I make the wrong choice?"
Ivana subconsciously wanted to say, "Of course, do you know what you missed?"
But when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them.
Because she remembered her grandmother.
"You didn't make the wrong choice," she whispered, "you're just a little stupid."
"Huh?" Vic tilted his head, a little confused, "Isn't being stupid wrong?"
"Maybe." Ivana said, "But I have no right to say that because I am as stupid as you."
Although he didn't know why Ivana called him stupid, Vic could clearly feel that Ivana's mood had improved a lot, so he scratched his head and didn't ask any more questions.
"Since you are sure that you went to the blood healing statue, do you remember what happened afterwards?" Ivana asked, "Did you gain the ability of blood healing?"
"This... I just can't remember it." Vic said with a wry smile, "I can only remember a little bit each time, just a little bit. Father Uru said that this is not enough to save, save..."
"What to save?"
"Save point."
"What does this mean?"
"I don't know." Vic shook his head. "Father Uru likes to say some inexplicable things and is unwilling to explain."
"Okay." Ivana thought for a while and said, "There is a most direct way to verify whether you have obtained the blood healing technique."
"What is the solution?"
"See if you can heal me." Ivana rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white arms, and found a sharp branch. "I will hurt myself, and then you try to heal me with blood. If you really have the skills of blood therapy, then your blood will heal my wounds quickly."
Vic was a little stunned: "Is it necessary to do this? Why can't we go directly to the blood healing statue?"
"The Blood Healing Statue is the farthest of the four statues, and since there are almost no hunters seeking this skill, the location passed down by word of mouth may not be accurate." Yvana said, "And most importantly, if you don't get the Blood Healing skill, it means a problem."
"What's the problem?"
"You and Ade may have had an accident on the way to the Blood Healing Statue." Ivana said seriously, "If that's the case, then we have to consider more things, even taking a detour. After all, now that Father Rhine is gone, we are very afraid of accidents."
Vic didn't expect Ivana to be so thoughtful, but he was still a little hesitant: "But..."
"Don't hesitate!"
In order to make Vic make up his mind, Ivana gritted her teeth and cut her wrist with the branch.
Blood immediately gushed out.
"Okay, you can give me blood now." Ivana said to Vic while enduring the pain.
Seeing this, Vic had no choice but to cut his hand and drip his blood on Ivana's wound.
Then the two of them stared at the wound intently.
But after watching it for a long time, the wound not only did not heal, but it started bleeding more and more because it had not been treated for a long time.
"It seems to be useless." Ivana frowned and said, "That means you didn't get the blood healing technique."
"Definitely not." Vic said, "My hunter power was given to me by Mr. Ryan. Before that, I didn't know anything."
Ivana was stunned: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
Vic scratched his head: "You didn't ask."
Ivana: “…”
Forget it.
She tore off a corner of her clothes and wrapped the wound.
During this time, Vic said, "Why don't you let me help you deal with it."
“Will you handle it?”
Vic nodded, then pointed at the tongue sticking out: "I can lick it for you, so it won't hurt."
"Uh..." Yvina was confused by Vic's method and didn't know how to answer.
Is it because he spends too much time with dogs? This guy really looks like a dog.
Did they really not choose to sing in unison?
Yvina was very skeptical.
But she didn't dwell on it for too long. Instead, she looked up at the gradually darkening sky and whispered, "Let's not do those meaningless things. Let's just heal the statue with blood. Let's go over there now!"
Vic nodded repeatedly.
Just as he was about to catch up with Yvina, his own voice sounded in his mind again.
"Don't come back again."
"Ade."
…
The fire gradually died down, and the charred charcoal left by the fire looked lifeless.
But Bai Wei did not leave. He continued to watch quietly, as if waiting for something.
I don’t know how long it took, but the charcoal suddenly trembled with a "crack" sound, and then shook off the layer of black charcoal on its body like a roasted sweet potato.
A white hand stretched out from the charcoal.
Hands full of mouths.
The mouth opened, revealing a circle of fine fangs.
Under the fangs are blank eyes.
"pain……"
The mouth began to make sounds.
"it hurts……"
"Why……"
“It hurts so much…”
"Where am I..."
They started talking again until the eye in the mouth of the palm saw its current appearance, and after being stunned for a while, it let out a terrified roar.
“Aaaaaaaaah!”
"Why did I become like this?!"
Seeing this, Bai Wei spoke again: "It seems that you have finally regained your sanity, Mr. Menya."
Hearing Bai Wei's voice, his arm paused.
Then all eyes turned over and stared at Bai Wei.
"This voice, you are..."
His voice was trembling.
"Hands and eyes?!"
