Looking at the Deer-Headed Monster whose body was burned to charcoal, Wayne sighed. The Deer-Headed Monster is a very rare monster, and the materials in its body are even rarer.
With the mentality of trying every possible means, Wayne pulled out the meteorite dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the chest of the deer-headed demon whose chest was pitch black.
This monster is a remnant, not a living organism like a troll, evil ghost, or water ghost, so there are no organs in its chest, but some unexplained impurities and lumps, as well as some sticky body fluids.
Wayne rummaged around in there for a long time and finally pulled out something that looked like a heart made of gray vines. According to the records in the witcher books, this thing seemed to be called the Heart of the Forest. It was of no use to the witcher, but if sold to a warlock, it could be used as a material for making magic props.
However, after taking out the Heart of the Forest, Wayne did not give up, because powerful monsters like the Deer-Headed Spirit usually contain unique mutation-inducing substances in their bodies. These are the materials for making special decoctions, and they are generally not lacking unless in special circumstances.
Sure enough, he dug for a long time, almost emptying the chest of the Deer-Headed Demon, before he took out a blue fleshy ball with a surface that looked like the corpus cerebral hypothalamus. Judging from its size, it should be a large blue mutation inducer.
Wayne was delighted. This thing was of great value. Whether it was used to make medicine, conduct mutation experiments, or sell it to warlocks, it would be a good choice.
Although he has used dozens of alchemical bombs today, as long as he gets this thing, it will be considered a return on investment.
While he was thinking, a figure with staggering steps and wet body rushed in from the rocky area, shouting Wayne's name.
When she saw Wayne, who was intact and squatting on a huge charred corpse, she was relieved.
Before he could even say a word, he found a rock nearby to sit down and began breathing heavily. It was obvious that he had expended a lot of energy trying to get here as quickly as possible.
Wayne turned his head and looked at the person. It was Triss, whose hair was wet from the rain and scattered on her head.
Seeing the sorceress in such an embarrassed state, his heart warmed slightly. At least after being injured, Triss did not run away like a coward. Not only did she escort the children out of danger, she was also willing to take the risk and rush back here as quickly as possible.
Not to mention those pampered female sorcerers, even many men cannot do this.
He casually took out an empty potion bottle from his waist bag, and put the blue mutation-inducing substance of the Deer-Headed Spirit into it. He quickly walked to Triss's side and asked, "How are your injuries, Triss?"
"Don't worry, I've killed the Deer-Headed Demon. There's no danger here for now."
Hearing this, the tense expression on Triss's face relaxed a little. She let out a long breath and was stroking her chest with her right hand when she suddenly let out a cry of pain.
Seeing this, Wayne looked towards her chest, and saw a bruise on the sorceress's white and pink skin, which was obviously caused by the vines. Even the clothes on her chest were torn by the vines, revealing the beautiful scenery inside.
Perhaps if the fat here had not been big enough and white enough, with this layer of flesh pad as a cushion, Triss might have been injured more seriously.
Wayne thought this in his mind, but his body did not hesitate. He hugged Triss to his chest like a princess and said, "You are injured, Triss. Let me hold you. This way you will feel more relaxed."
"By the way, after I destroyed the Deer-Headed Spirit's giant totem, a strange scene appeared inside. It looked like a crack in space. It seems you need to seal it again."
When Wayne unexpectedly picked her up in a princess hug, Triss's face turned slightly red, but she did not refuse. She pressed her chest against his chest and used her hands to smooth the wet red hair off her face, trying her best to keep herself beautiful.
After hearing Wayne mention the space crack, her expression immediately became serious and she said, "Really? Take me to have a look."
"Some space cracks are still very dangerous. Not only will they attract terrifying monsters from other worlds, but they will also transmit alien energy from other worlds and pollute the surrounding environment."
Wayne did not hesitate. After carrying Triss to the vicinity of the space crack, the sorceress immediately closed her eyes and began to sense with her mental power.
"However, let's go back and rest for a while, treat our wounds, and prepare the materials for the magic ritual. I will come back to seal this space crack."
Wayne nodded, pretending to be completely unaware of the culprit behind this incident, as if there was actually a space crack there.
In the Demon Hunter world, due to the intersection of celestial bodies, although there are not tens of thousands of space cracks, they are not rare. This is one of the reasons why all kinds of otherworldly objects and strange monsters always appear in this world.
Warlocks have extensive experience in sealing such cracks, and this is one of their main responsibilities as spellcasters to maintain world stability.
Seeing that a solution had been found for the space crack, Wayne stopped delaying and said while holding Triss in his arms, "Well, since there is no danger here for the time being, let's go back to the city first."
"You might have been injured in your internal organs when you were whipped away. You'd better be careful."
………………
An hour later, the two returned to Triss's family residence.
Since his body was not hurt, but was wet and covered in mud and sweat, which was uncomfortable, Wayne chose to take a hot bath.
Fortunately, as a noble family, hot water is available 24 hours a day. Not only that, the Merigold family also has a special bath for guests to use.
Wayne didn't hesitate to speak to the servant in charge and then had the entire bathroom to himself.
After he lay in the warm water, the first thing that came to his mind was to check the matters concerning the unlocking of the ancient blood.
Ding! The conditions for unlocking the Ancient Blood have been met. Do you want to unlock it?
Ding! The unlocking of the Ancient Blood is divided into three stages: primary unlocking, advanced unlocking, and complete unlocking. These three stages must be completed one by one in order.
Ding! After the primary level of the Ancient Blood is unlocked, the host will gain three abilities.
Ability 1, Flash: It can consume the host's physical strength and magic power to break through the obstacles of space and perform short-distance space jumps. Distance limit: 300 meters, cooling time: 5 seconds.
Ability 2, Magic Awakening (Primary): As the owner of the ancient blood, a natural source sorcerer, the body will become the medium of chaotic magic, with extremely powerful magic potential, no longer affected by magic resistance, and has a higher level of magic affinity. Effect: Magic limit +30, magic strength +15, magic control +10.
Ability three, time travel (primary): As the owner of ancient blood, the host already has the ability to travel through time and space. However, as a primary unsealer of the bloodline, the host can currently only travel to the world on the other side of the crack through existing space cracks. The host can also use ability points to temporarily strengthen the cracks into small space channels to allow other creatures to travel back and forth.
After reading the system's explanation of the ancient blood, Wayne felt both happy and a little frustrated.
The good news is that each of the three abilities unlocked by the Ancient Blood is extremely powerful. For a demon hunter like him, it is an added advantage, and his goal of becoming the strongest demon hunter is just around the corner.
However, the frustrating thing is that ten ability points only complete the initial unlocking of the Ancient Blood. If one wants to fully master the ability of the Ancient Blood in the future, he will definitely have to consume more abilities and prepare more time.
