Game: I'm a Hunter in the Blood Curse World

Chapter 164 Karl's Test (Part 2)

Van En picked up the purple rhombus-shaped crystal and read its information:

Messenger's Excrement: Messengers are magical arcane creatures that live in strange arcane spaces.

It can help you deliver messages or small items to people thousands of miles away in an instant.

If you gain its trust, the messenger will also help protect important items and information until the person holding the token summons it.

It is said that the messenger only favors hunters with exceptional arcane talent and will send them his beautiful, gem-like excrement to establish a friendship.

Friendship doesn't come without a price. When you summon a courier, it's best to offer it an arcane crystal that pleases it; that way, you'll become friends.

Van En smiled, looking at the purple rhombus-shaped crystal core in his hand, and thought that the messenger, this arcane little creature, was really interesting.

Although the description of the messenger was simple, after dealing with the little creature twice, Vann knew it was very strong.

In a world like the Blood Mist, where information flows slowly, messengers are irreplaceable helpers, and even, to some extent, encrypted safes.

After carefully storing the small purple crystal core, Van En began to check his surroundings.

Although the ground was a bit muddy, it was only a layer of loose soil; underneath were solid stone slabs.

A faint, rotten smell filled the air, instantly reminding Van En of his experience crawling through the sewers with Leslie during the Mystery of the Deer Court.

Snapped!

Fan En lit the silver blood lamp he carried with him, looked at the arched brick sewer in front of him, and a relieved smile appeared on his face: "It actually feels like coming home—"

But the smile on Van En's face vanished the next second.

A cloud of blood mist shaped like a bat emerged from the end of the small waterway, stopped where the silver blood lamp could not reach, and quickly condensed into a human-shaped mass.

A pair of deep green ghostly eyes stared at Van En in the darkness, emitting a cacophony of laughter.

Van En looked at the beast that had transformed from blood mist, narrowed his eyes, and brandished his meat saw.

"what!"

The Blood Mist Beast let out a shriek that echoed through the narrow sewer, then transformed into a black and red bat and charged toward Vann at incredible speed.

boom!

Van En raised the blood-based shotgun he had prepared and fired a shot at the bat.

call out!

puff!

But the blood bullets, which had always been effective, seemed to drop into the bat like water droplets on a lake, causing it no harm whatsoever.

Van En frowned, put away his blood-based hunting rifle, and his eyes glowed with a blue light as he prepared for close combat.

call!

A pair of blood-mist ghost claws suddenly flashed out from Van En's side, catching him off guard with a sudden sneak attack that left a bloody gash on his arm.

This blood mist beast, which can transform into human form, can actually manipulate the blood mist!

[Attacked, Health -10, Gain 30 Berserk Points, Temporary Agility +1]

Van En's eyes instantly turned red, but he suppressed the surging anger within him. He slowly closed his eyes and entered a calm fighting state.

call!

The next second, the blood mist bats flew past Vann.

In an instant, three blood-mist ghost hands appeared from Vann's sides and behind him, attacking him simultaneously.

Van En shifted his body to the side, slightly arching his back to dodge all the attacks.

He turned around and looked at the blood mist bat that had turned in the air and was charging at him again, and took a deep breath.

In a field of vision composed of pale blue lines, Van En saw wisps of pale red mist drifting silently to his side under the cover of darkness, following the fluttering wings of the blood mist bats.

After figuring out the opponent's sneak attack method, Fan En revealed a disdainful smile.

After dodging left and right, and leaping to avoid the sneak attacks of the blood mist bats.

The bizarre beast swooped down like a bomber, preparing to summon multiple blood mist ghost hands to attack as it passed by Vann.

But for a hunter as experienced in combat as Vann, even the most bizarre beasts with their repetitive patterns are nothing more than prey on a chopping block, ready to be chopped up at will.

call!

The blood mist bats flew past Vann, leaving behind five dark clouds of blood mist as their wings fluttered.

But before that.

Van En found the opponent's weakness and raised the meat saw in advance.

call out!

The Blood Mist Bat kept its eyes on Van En's movements, and its small size allowed it to turn its body to the side, dodging Van En's attack.

Its narrow, dark green eyes gleamed with cruelty. It turned and stretched out its claws to grab at Vann's eyes.

But in the next instant, it discovered that the surrounding airflow had changed, making it unable to maintain its flight.

call!

A streak of emerald green, accompanied by a violent wind, swept across its body, slicing the blood mist bat in two diagonally.

The twin emerald shadows on Fan En's left hand lit up with emerald light, and the wind on the axe had not yet dissipated.

Snapped!

The Blood Mist Bat turned into two ugly black blobs of blood and fell from the sky, landing two steps away from Van En.

Van En did not slack off.

Because in the vision that had been broken, the two clumps of black blood were emitting countless black and red lines, and in the next second they would re-condense into the shape of a bat in the air.

He used Instant Step to move in front of the two clumps of black blood, and at the same time raised his weapons and smashed them down on the newly formed clumps of black blood.

Boom!

Just as the black blood was about to mend itself, it was severed again by Van En, who stretched out a foot and stomped hard on the trembling black blood that was trying to leave.

Immediately afterwards, Van En swung his hands in turn, chopping the black blood into thin strips as if he were mincing meat.

Despite his victory, Vann felt no joy. He slowly opened his eyes, looked at the black blood writhing on the ground like worms, and frowned.

He smashed the silver blood lamp he had lit at his waist at the black blood, watching it burn in the silver flames, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart.

"ah!"

A loud, piercing scream came from deeper within the small waterway.

The echoing sound waves caused Van En to take two steps back.

Fan En steadied himself, looked into the deep darkness of the small waterway, and said in a low voice, "The bigger one is still behind. I knew these 10 free attribute points wouldn't be so easy to get."

Fan En did not rush forward. He stared at the black blood until it was completely burned to ashes, then prepared to make a last-minute attempt to catch up.

He took out Leslie's arcane manual, a hint of shame on his face.

This was the first time he had officially opened the manual since it came into his possession.

It wasn't that Van En had slacked off in his studies, but rather that the journey from Put Town to Lu Ting was fraught with unexpected events and he had a lot to do.

Before arriving in Yar Town, his mind was focused on creating the Twin Emerald Shadows.

Finding materials, negotiating prices, and contacting Jiang Si and Lao Kuai to make weapons all took up his time.

He didn't rest much on the way to Luting, mainly because Lilith's behavior of turning into a baby made him a little anxious, so he didn't get much rest.

While resting in his dream, he also remembered that he had not written the content of "The Bloodline of Master Maria" in the history room.

This matter is closely related to the search for the source blood, so Van En has no choice but to focus his energy on it.

After spending a considerable amount of time completing the writing task, Vann received a score of 70 and also gained 4 insight points.

With his Insight Points accumulated to 7, and after obtaining Master Holairu's Source Blood from Lu Ting, Van En should be able to reach 10.

Click to obtain clues for the next source blood.

After a rapid recollection of his recent experiences, Vann looked at the arcane manual in his hand, shook his head, and complained, "The protagonists in novels all achieve breakthroughs through enlightenment in the heat of battle, but I learn in the heat of battle—"
