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

"Your Mightiness!"

Katya ran anxiously to Vann, squatted down, and placed his head on her lap.

"It's okay, you won't die!"

Van En turned to face Katya and smiled:

"I'm a little exhausted. Let me rest for a few minutes, then we'll set off."

"You... in this state..." Katya's eyes were filled with pity, her gaze sliding down to Vann's right hand.

Fine black hair covered the back of Van En's hands, and his sharp black nails made his already slender hands look like the paws of a young bear.

Fan En raised his hand and looked at it. Apart from feeling a little itchy, he didn't feel any side effects.

"Just scratch it for me."

"Oh? Okay!"

Katya scratched the back of Vann's hand, but her expression was very worried.

Van En didn't care at all. He was somewhat indifferent to the beast-like disease. As long as his face didn't revert to its ancestral form and grow hair, he could accept it.

Turning his head, he saw Lao Ba still chewing on the horse's rump and scolded him:

"You stupid dog! Don't eat it!"

"Waaah~~"

Upon hearing the order, Lao Ba obediently lay down beside the horse carcass and wagged his tail at Fan En.

Van closed his eyes, preparing to rest for a while, when he immediately heard Katya's urgent call in his ear:

"Sir, please don't fall asleep! If you do, you'll completely turn into a mad hunter!"

Van En opened his eyes, looked at Katya, and said:

"Then get up! Walk slowly towards the castle, and you'll be feeling better soon."

He glanced at his condition and saw that apart from minor bone fractures all over his body that would heal in a while, there was nothing else wrong.

As for stamina, it only recovers to 20.

Van En guessed that during the previous riding attack, he had to saw off the mare's head, kick the stallion's head, and maintain his balance, which caused his stamina to drop too low, hence the slow recovery.

"Be careful!"

Katya's strength was no joke; she easily lifted the over 100-pound Vann up.

Van En put his arm around Katya's shoulder and noticed that although the girl was strong, she was still quite petite.

"You've lost a bit of weight, you should eat more in the future."

Katya felt Vann's light weight and solemnly gave him some advice.

In a flash, she remembered how Van En, with his frail body, had managed to kill such a huge beast, and she admired him even more.

Katya has increased your favorability towards you by 20.

Upon hearing the news, Van En turned his head and saw Katya's admiring gaze, wondering to himself:

"Is this girl acting crazy again? She looks like she just picked up a really tough stray cat! Hmm... I am indeed too skinny. Although the increase in strength has made my muscles great, I still look like a bamboo pole, skinny as a skeleton, a skinny monkey..."

Van En decided to eat more in the future. Then he saw the huge horse carcass and found that it had not been burned by the silver light like Lao Ba.

He realized this was a great gain, so he had Katya lower him down again and use a lancet to draw blood.

The carcass of this exotic horse was quite large, similar to the moose that Van En remembered.

Therefore, Vann gave all the blood collection vials to Katya.

Watching the novice nun get busy, Van En began to review the messages that had flooded in like urgent collection text messages after the horse's head landed:

[You have killed the two-headed beast. This beast is close to the intermediate level and has considerable strength. It can be considered as one of the four ordinary beasts.]

You have ridden three large beasts, earning the title: Rider.

[Rider LV1: Increases damage dealt while riding large beasts by 10%]

Three heads?

Van En found it strange, since he had only ridden it twice!

But when his gaze fell on the horse's head on the back of the horse carcass, he instantly understood how it was calculated.

This task system is really meticulous!

Vann continued scrolling down and saw the description of the beast:

【Deformed Link Beast (Two-Headed Beast): If you engage in unspeakable acts during a Blood Mist eruption, you will become a Deformed Beast and be sacrificed to the Blood Mist along with your beloved partner.

As a pure wild beast, its attack methods are crude and clumsy, but they are not something that hunters without rifles can easily withstand.

You were right!

Van En felt nauseous thinking about how the two horses had been fused together in the blood mist, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

This beast possesses twin hearts, capable of extracting the essence of special blood!

Upon seeing this message, Vann immediately told Katya to extract the essence of blood from the heart separately.

About 10 minutes later, Katya, who was sweating profusely, walked up to Vann with 15 blood storage bottles filled with the essence of blood.

The girl said happily:

"Lord Van En, this horse has so much blood!"

Then, Katya looked back at the completely desiccated horse carcass and said regretfully:

"If three horses were squeezed together by the blood mist, there would probably be even more!"

Van En gave a mysterious smile and said:

"The probability of that is too low."

After examining the 15 bottles of Blood Essence, Van En noticed that one of them was emitting green star-like specks.

Once you hold it in your hand, the description will appear in front of the bottle:

【Good Beast Heart Essence (100ml): Extracted from the heart of a horse-like beast that is extremely adept at running. Direct consumption can increase agility by 2 points. If you find an apothecary to make it into a potion, it may be of great use】

pharmacist!

Van En immediately thought of the player who bought the Blood Purification Potion, and put the special Blood Essence into his inventory.

After trying it out, he also discovered that the 6 slots in his small backpack could be shared with the 20 slots in Lao Ba's vest.

So convenient!

After a moment of reflection, Fan En used the remaining 60ml of blood purification potion to turn 12 bottles of inferior blood essence into 6 bottles of purified blood, and filled his blood pump box again.

After collecting the remaining two bottles of inferior blood and two bottles of pure blood, Vann had Katya sit next to him and whistled, signaling Lao Ba to clean up the remaining horse carcasses.

Vann touched the two horse heads immediately after the battle and discovered they weren't what was needed to upgrade the carriage—

A prize worth showing off.

Old Eight ate very quickly this time, probably because he hadn't touched the carcasses of wild animals during this period because of Sweet Well Village.

So, about five minutes later, Lao Ba had eaten the horse carcass completely.

But it had been so full of horse meat from the lavish feast that it swelled up like a balloon. After taking a few unsteady steps on its short legs, it collapsed and fell asleep on the spot.

[Your soul beast has eaten its fill and entered a hibernation state. It will advance in rank after it awakens.]

After receiving the news about Lao Ba, Fan En immediately shook the Soul Bell and brought Lao Ba back.

Its 20-slot vest inventory is still usable.

Katya had witnessed this amazing phenomenon several times, but her eyes still shone with intense interest.

Vann stood up, brushed off the dried, dark brown scabs from his body, and responded to Katya's curiosity:

"I found Lao Ba by accident, and I don't really know why it's so magical."

"Aww~~"

Katya looked on with regret, then followed Van's gaze to the top of the castle spire in the distance, which was still shimmering with silver light.

In about 20 minutes, the silver light rose a notch. Vann and Katya sensed the urgency of time, so they stopped talking and set off for their destination one after the other.

After passing the stables and arriving at the castle, Vane saw a half-open iron-clad wooden door.

The door was covered in bloody scratch marks, and there was a faint stench of wild animals in the air.

Van En activated his hunter's sense of smell and saw a large patch of messy, hurried footprints outside the door.

He glanced at Katya beside him and realized that the girl had also realized that the castle entrance was probably not peaceful, and had already picked up her cleaver.

Vann nodded to Katya, drew his butcher knife, and prepared to pry open the door.

call!

As soon as the door was opened a crack, a dark figure darted out.
