My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Xia Zuo found the building where he first met Janice, and his route led him past the battlefield.

Servant No. 2 flew in an arc around the battlefield, hovering above the rooftops, observing the scene from afar.

Blood demons are indeed exceptionally powerful, especially when surrounded by a large number of living people, their blood magic becomes even more potent.

Red Sand is the Blood Demon's shell, like a fruit whose outer skin has been peeled off to reveal its flesh.

The fully armed Blood Demon possesses its own blood magic equipment.

On the battlefield right now, two Blood Demons are fighting against the army.

They looked like spellcasters wearing blood-red robes, over 8 meters tall, about the height of a three-story building, with skull-like faces, two swirling blood-red vortexes in their eye sockets, and thin, bony fingers with blood dripping from between them.

The two blood demons stood next to two U-shaped buildings.

They raised their hands, casting a blood-red magical barrier that enveloped the building in front of them. Their skeletal hands swept back and forth, drawing blood from the building.

Transformers and blood addicts belonging to the Slaughter Cult slaughtered lives in the room. Thick blood mist filled the corridors of the building, and the scene inside the room was gruesome, with severed limbs and bright red blood everywhere.

The elemental minions' attacks never stopped.

The beams of light they shot out landed on the Blood Demon, but were blocked by the crimson light on its robes.

Xia Zuo discovered that whenever the Blood Demon was attacked by rays, the blood-red pendant hanging around its neck would flash with a blood-red light, clearly indicating that some powerful protective item was protecting the Blood Demon.

To stop the Blood Demon from collecting blood, this protective barrier must be broken.

The military had anticipated this.

A new attack is about to begin.

Xia Zuo looked up at the airship in the sky, and even from a distance of hundreds of meters, he could clearly feel that powerful magical energy was gathering in the gondola.

Two gun barrels extend from the bottom of the pod.

A spiral glass tube is wrapped around the silvery-white cannon barrel.

A bluish-green light emanated from the base of the glass tube, spreading in concentric circles along the tube to the muzzle of the cannon.

The two blood demons immediately withdrew their hands, and the pendants covering their chests formed several raised shields from their blood.

"Om~"

A deep and resonant roar resounded.

Two blazing blue rays struck the Blood Shield, piercing through the shield like sharp knives tearing through white paper, and embedding themselves in the Blood Demon's skeletal hand, striking the crimson pendant squarely.

A sharp, mournful cry echoed throughout the northern part of the city.

The matter should be settled by now.

Chapter 82 [Blood Relatives] (Bonus Chapter for Donations)

Xia Zuo withdrew his gaze from the battlefield of the Blood Demons and the army, and continued to control his second servant to continue on his way.

He knew that Ulfaris would preside over the Advent ceremony in Hakansen, so he maintained the [blood connection].

The two blood demons that fought the military airships were severely wounded, and they sent the same bloodline message to Upharis almost simultaneously:

"Upharis! How much more blood do you need?!"

Three seconds later.

The voice came again in my ear:

"We'll draw the attention of the scumbags, get the cultists to detonate the planted bombs, and reap the blood! This is our last chance!"

bomb!?

Xia Zuo was taken aback and scanned the surrounding buildings.

The bomb that the Blood Demon wants to detonate... is it a bomb that spreads plague, or the kind that destroys the load-bearing structure of a building?

Before Xia Zuo could think further, the two Blood Demons gave an order, and the battlefield changed.

The transformed individuals and blood addicts who had previously slaughtered civilians in the building scattered and rushed to the surrounding buildings.

When Servant #2 arrived at its destination, it saw a Blood Addict turn into a blood mist and fly towards it, enduring the elemental servants' beam attacks.

Xia Zuo hurriedly controlled his No. 2 servant to float through the U-shaped building.

When I first met Janice, she didn't mention which room she lived in, but it wasn't hard to tell from her conversation with her mother that her residence was on the same floor as the place where Bankov died tragically.

Xia Zuo went through each room on the fourth floor one by one.

The rooms here are only 15 to 25 square meters in size. A wooden board is used to block the squat toilet and faucet, and that's considered a washroom.

The kitchen is a luxury; at most, a smokeless stove is used to boil soup and for warmth in winter.

Xia Zuo saw Janice in a room.

She was sitting by the stove waiting for the water to boil.

Not far away, a woman lay on a bed, her lips pale and her eyes closed, seemingly quite ill. On the wooden chair that served as her bedside table were pills wrapped in paper.

Through the perspective of Servant No. 2, Xia Zuo observed the woman's condition—a section of her left forearm was missing, her left hand was gone, and the wound was wrapped in a thick bandage. She was currently in a state of extreme weakness and unconsciousness.

Judging from the shape of the bandage, the wound must have been caused by an accident while working at the dock.

As for that bottle of weak recovery potion...

Xia Zuo found the empty bottle in the metal box under the bed. The medicine in the bottle was gone; it must have been used by Janice on her mother.

Can blessing spells heal ordinary people?

Before studying "An Introduction to Spell Schools" and "Basic Theory of Elements and Signs: Blessings and Curses," Xia Zuo thought it was possible.

But in reality, it doesn't work.

Blessing spells are essentially about repairing bodily damage using attribute-neutral energy.

The recipient must possess a certain level of spell resistance to withstand the elemental energy; otherwise, new damage will occur.

The best way to treat ordinary people is through normal medical means, such as using medications without side effects or performing surgery on the injured area.

Xia Zuo planned to find an excuse to send Janice some medicine once he was able to leave the safe house.

When he left Starry Night Academy, he exchanged two large jars of resurrection potions and stockpiled them in his Life Alchemy Stone.

"Boom!"

A deep rumble came from outside the door, and the room shook.

Xia Zuo recognized the sound; it was an explosion, and the explosion occurred on the first floor!

"Boom!"

The room shook violently, dust fell from the ceiling, and the kettle on the stove fell to the ground.

Janice stood up in terror, threw herself onto the bed, hugged her mother, dragged her under the bed, and hid herself inside.

"boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

The house cracked, the walls collapsed, dust filled the air, bricks fell off, the ceiling cracked, furniture from upstairs fell down, Janice's floor cracked, and the whole building crumbled from top to bottom.

All of this happened so fast!

Xia Zuo only had time to control his No. 2 servant to fly to Janice's side, expending his life force to condense a crimson barrier that enveloped the mother and daughter. Countless rubble and furniture fragments instantly swallowed the light, and amidst the violent impact, the mother and daughter were buried in the heavy ruins.

Inside the safe house.

Xia Zuo lay on the bed, his face pale. He had consumed more than 600 points of health in a short time, barely managing to keep the bright red barrier from breaking.

He used the Alchemy Stone of Life to drink a few sips of healing potion to restore his health.

Let's return to the perspective of Servant #2.

It was pitch black.

The shaking stopped. The mother and daughter were trapped between the metal bed frame and large rocks.

Xia Zuo tried to remove the barrier, and since it didn't collapse, he breathed a small sigh of relief.

“Mom…” Janice called softly, her voice sounding incredibly muffled in the small space.

“Mom…” Janice reached out and stroked the blanket, her fingers touching her mother’s cheek. Her skin was cold, and her breath was very faint.

“Thank goodness, Mom, we’re okay, we’ll get better.” Janice hugged her mother’s head, her voice trembling and breathless. “It’s so suffocating… I can’t breathe… Mom… we have to stay together.”

The air's gone?!

Xia Zuo sat up in bed.

Minion #2 casts a detection spell.

Both mother and daughter experienced difficulty breathing.

What should I do?

Where do we get air?

Xia Zuo paced back and forth in the dark safe house, scratching his head anxiously.

From a data perspective

Suffocation causes blood loss; once all blood is lost, the person dies.

If you don't let your blood run out, will you not die?

What kind of bizarre logic is this?!

No, no, no, that logic is correct.

Xia Zuo slapped his forehead, remembering the knowledge he had summarized from the textbook when he was studying medicine and tonics.

The native inhabitants of this world have not undergone data-driven transformation, but they can use data-driven language and logic to explain why they are born, grow old, get sick, and die.

A normally developed and healthy male from the Silver Moon Federation.

From age 0 to 3, you gain 1 point of "Vitality" each year.

After age 3, they no longer gain vitality attribute points, but their maximum health will increase as their size grows.
