Chapter 86 Run

The recipe for 【Crimson Thirst】 is 4 Bloodthirsty Grasses and 1 Copper Flower. After being consumed by the Frosty Tide, only 120 Copper Flowers remain. With 500 Bloodthirsty Grasses, it is possible to refine about 100 tubes.

"Scarlet Thirst"

[Ding] System notification: [Scarlet Thirst] Name successfully named.

With a snap, a vial of red medicine, exuding a blood-red aura, appeared in his hand.

【Crimson Thirst】(Level 3 Potion)
Category: Consumables.

效果1：对范围40米内的敌对玩家造成1000点的生命恢复，并使其获得10%的攻击力加成，效果持续10分钟。

Effect 2: Because the potion is concentrated with the essence of the Bloodthirsty Grass, it releases a bloodthirsty aura that drives wild beasts mad. The aura extends 100 meters, and once captured by a beast, a forced bond is formed. Unless the bond is cleansed or the beast's activity limit is exceeded, the beast will continue to track the target until one of them dies. (Note: This effect is doubled against bloodthirsty monsters.)
Use: Throwing attack, effective only against enemy players.

Refiner: Past and Present Lives.

The third-grade waste medicine has been successfully refined.

Shaking the Crimson Thirst in his hand, Ling Chuan's memory returned to the Chonghuang Strategy Department. Back when Mu Lan refined it, the major forces in the Divine Revelation were fiercely competing for resources. After scanning the two attributes of the potion, the entire Strategy Department was excited. However, when they truly understood the information about the potion, they instantly fell silent.

"Pity."

This was a sigh of regret from the entire Chonghuang Strategy Department towards Mu Lan; such a powerful amplification potion, used on enemy players—that would be one thing, but if it involved environmental strategy, its second effect would be enough to make it shine in various battles; unfortunately, the second effect can be dispelled by purification skills. Consider this: in a server where everyone is around level 100, which guild doesn't have dozens of healer groups? A barrage of purifications, and the effect of Crimson Thirst is reduced to a perfect enemy amplification.

"Traitor's potion."

"The traitor's drug."

"Noble Phantasm for oneself."

"A self-destruct artifact."

"..."

After some comments, the potion was successfully thrown into the waste record by Mu Lan.

He was quite emotional at the time. Afterwards, based on the information from Scarlet Thirst, he kept simulating and deducing, but still couldn't find a reasonable way to use the drug. He thought to himself that if he could develop this drug before level 50, he might be able to establish an unshakeable hegemony in the early stages of the game's resource competition.

Looking at the potion in his hand, Ling Chuan was filled with emotion. Perhaps this was fate. In his previous life, the divine medicine was destined to become a waste due to insufficient timing. In this life, he would make it famous throughout the world!
Materials are added, prescriptions are set, and the entire process is completed.

[Ding] System notification: Successfully crafted [Crimson Thirst]*114, failed*5.

Seeing the pairs of red and blue potions inside the Fire Dragon Box, Ling Chuan turned and ran deeper into Giant Bear Ridge!

……

Forty minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Tens of thousands had gathered on the outskirts of West Village. The wilderness was barren, devoid of monsters. Looking around, aside from two thousand lone players lined up at the edge, the rest were neatly divided into eleven groups, representing eleven factions. Surprisingly, none of these eleven factions were unknown, especially the four second-tier factions: [Thousand Thorns], [Royal Knights], [Sin Domain], and [Dream Tomb], which were particularly captivating. After all, aside from the near-divine ten clubs and seven top guilds, they were the elite figures that ordinary players in Sanctuary III could only look up to. Therefore, these four factions alone had gathered over six thousand people.

Of the remaining third-rate guilds, only the powerful and wealthy Aoshishengtang has some "popularity," having gathered a team of nearly 700 people. The rest have basically become the background for the top four guilds.

"Qingshan, Qianji is certainly willing to spend money. I've taken a look, and they've brought only core members. Tell me, what's their average level?"

Within the Royal Knights, a heavily armored knight struck up a conversation with the swordsman on his right. Above his head, the four large characters "Unrivaled" were prominently displayed, revealing his identity throughout the encounter and showcasing his flamboyant personality.

(PS: In the Divine Revelation Continent, your ID can be set to be always exposed, but not always hidden. Unless you have a specific item, your ID and level will only be visible to monsters within a certain level range. Otherwise, you will not be able to see them.)
Aoyama smiled confidently, "We were lucky. The core team happened to be returning to the village to resupply, so the whole team teleported. The average level is not high, only level 13."

"Level 13 isn't high?" The Berserker on the left side of the towering figure widened his eyes and said angrily, "Damn it, I rushed back all the way back and barely made it into the teleportation array. The members of the Sin Domain that I summoned by voice were all old, weak, sick and disabled, with an average level of only 11."

“Asking Brother is just being modest.” On the right side of Qingshan, the dragon-man, whose whole body was wrapped in a robe, smiled. “Although our members’ average level is higher than yours, our number of members is far less. Your family alone has more than three thousand people. The three of us combined can only match your numbers.”

When she spoke, the other three families responded amicably. This was not for any other reason than that she was the leader of the [Dream Soul Tomb], one of the few female leaders among the second-tier forces. Most importantly, she was beautiful, alluringly beautiful. Unlike the half-dreaming, half-awake type, her allure was genuine and consistent.

"Haha, that's true. How about we discuss how to distribute the treasures after we destroy that past and present life?" The leader of the Sin Domain asked boldly.

As always, Qianji Qingshan suggested, "As per the old rule, the wise man shall reside there."

"Alright! It's not easy for everyone to level up, and team battles only drain our energy, so let's stick to the old rules!" The Royal Knights, leading the pack, agreed with both hands.

"I agree." Meng Hunzhong nodded gently.

“I…” Sin Domain’s question was a little reluctant. The so-called “sage’s seat” meant that one side would choose a representative to fight one-on-one, and the winner would get the treasure; but his real advantage was obviously in numbers, and choosing a one-on-one fight would be like cutting off his own arm.

"Asking about my elder brother's crimes?" Her eyes were filled with longing, and her tone was gentle and affectionate.

Aoyama chimed in, "Surely you didn't bring a single core member?"

Yiqi Juechen said, "That won't do, I've already discovered the two emperors, the cat and the dog."

Unable to withstand the pressure from the three, especially the haunting presence, Wenzui had no choice but to surrender. "Let the wise rule then, stop dawdling. Let's go, let's wipe out the past and present lives first!" "That's the wild Wenzui!"

Having reached a consensus and made a final decision, the four of them neither chose to have private conversations nor looked at the third-rate forces. It was as if in their hearts, those were just scum who joined in the fun and had no right to be noticed by them.

"Tch, all you do is act arrogantly in front of us. If you're so capable, go find the Bloodthirsty Butcher."

In an inconspicuous corner of a third-rate force, an elven girl covered in leather armor glared fiercely at the four.

Beside her, a man of the same elven race glared at her, then his gaze turned serious as he pondered, "Something's not right."

The elven girl asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?"

The man said, "There isn't a single top-tier power."

The girl thought for a moment, "Top powers don't have time for that. They care more about rank than unimportant 'treasures'."

The man remained silent, his brow furrowed. He guessed everyone here shared the same thought as his sister, perhaps even secretly congratulating themselves on their luck. But was it really that simple? Each of the top powers possessed over 100,000 elite members; a simple gathering could easily push the competition to its maximum, resulting in a single dominant force. But why hadn't any of them done so? Was it because they didn't want to? No, they were observing, or rather… they were using this competition to prove something.

"Go together!"

As the leader of the four regiments gave the order, all six thousand men charged into the Gale Forest. The momentum and spirit of the charge were magnificent!
"We'll follow."

With four second-tier forces already charging in, the remaining third-tier forces naturally have to follow suit. So what if they're ignored? Whether you're second-tier or top-tier, you've already come this far, why shouldn't you fight?
"elder brother!"

Seeing everyone rushing ahead, the elf girl became a little anxious and urged them on.

A resolute glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "No, we're withdrawing from this competition."

"What?!" the girl exclaimed in surprise. They had finally managed to gather their forces, and now they were going to withdraw?
"Listen to me!" The man grabbed the girl's arm and gave a voice command to the team, "All members of the Blade of Heavenly Punishment, evacuate at full speed!"

Wow!
The seven hundred members were speechless. Before they could even ask why, they saw the leader run away with his sister, who was the group's sister!
With their faith gone, the seven hundred men, like lost souls, grabbed their weapons and followed their leader at breakneck speed. Then, a bizarre scene unfolded: 95% of the assembled players marched confidently into the Gale Forest, while the other 5% fled as if they had seen a ghost.

In the jungle, the confident contenders thought the treasure was beckoning to them, but what they were met with was a deafening roar like a beast in a hellish purgatory, and a thunderous roar like an earthquake.

With the night dark and the trees obscuring their view, everyone instinctively stopped in their tracks.

"What's going on?" Yiqi Juechen asked in a low voice.

"I don't know! I can't see anything ahead at all! But the precious mark representing my past and present lives is rapidly approaching! No! It's already next to me! It's Black Panther! My past and present lives! Ah!!"

Ahead, the archer, acting as a scout, sent a report, but before he could finish speaking, a scream accompanied by a death message appeared in the team channels of all factions, and the voice communication was cut off!

"What happened?"

Losing their vanguard, the players panicked, but their confusion didn't last long. Ten seconds later, countless dark figures appeared before them. Yes, an endless pack of black leopards, their numbers estimated at at least two hundred. Even more! Within the pack, a gigantic black leopard, standing two and a half meters tall and about seven meters long, was charging towards them, its back crackling with crimson lightning. On its back was another figure!
"Past lives and present lives???"

Everyone's pupils contracted sharply. Qingshan reacted the fastest, raising his longsword and shouting, "Don't panic! Everyone prepare! Ranged attacks!"

Da da da da da!
As the bow was drawn and the skill was about to be unleashed, dozens of bottles of blood-red potions suddenly fell from the sky.

Everyone looked up at the test tubes that looked like life-saving potions, and their hands paused for a moment.

boom!
The potion fell, striking the ground with a crisp cracking sound. The next second, a crimson mist of blood, like fireworks on the ground, spread out, instantly covering an area of ​​nearly a kilometer in radius!
+1000
+1000
+1000
……

A cloud of green numbers floated up above the player's head, leaving the player bewildered by the attribute prompts they received.

System notification: [Crimson Thirst] has taken effect; your attack power has increased by 10%.

System notification: You have been tainted by the scent of blood. Under the influence of the scent of blood, wild beasts within 100 meters will be extremely interested in you. Once the scent is captured by a wild beast, a forced link will be formed between you and the beast. Unless you cleanse yourself or move beyond the wild beast's activity limit, the beast will continue to track you until one of you dies. The scent can then be cleansed and dispelled.

???

If they were amazed by the increased attributes and restored health a second ago, the next second they were terrified by the bloody aura emanating from the area!
"Holy crap! This potion is a wild animal bait!"

Roar roar roar roar——————

A series of screams and roars of ferocious beasts that shook the mountains and rivers came from behind the leopard pack. Only then did everyone realize why the two hundred black leopards had unleashed such a massive, thunderous roar. It wasn't because their feet were heavy, nor because of the air, but because they were followed by a demonic army of thousands, all covered in frost...

"run……"

Swallowing saliva and murmuring came from Qingshan's mouth.

"run!!!!"

Immediately following was a deafening cry from the soul…

A chapter of 3600 words is exhausting to check.
