Chapter 51: The Pearl of Blood

In the depths of the Valley of the Dead, as the last skeleton was also purified by the holy light illuminated by the Purification Pearl, the Purification Pearl, which was held in Ye Zhen's hand, also shattered with a bang and turned into ashes, and the supreme holy relic of the Holy See was enough to wash away the heavenly grievances of more than 15,000 undead, and it could be regarded as a complete merit.

"Whew, it's finally done." Raising his aching and numb arm, Ye Zhen's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and he could almost tell how fierce the battle was from the valley mouth, so his heart was still hanging in the air, until the last undead was purified, and finally landed safely.

Looking at his experience bar, he was 95% at level 27, and he jumped to the second place on the level list, second only to the fire tattoo that had risen to level 28 at the top of the list.

"Not bad." Ye Zhen laughed happily, and in just half an hour, he jumped from five hundred to second, but I am afraid that many players who are staring at the level list are dumbfounded at this time. However, the name they saw on the rank list was just a traceless night, and for a person who once occupied the first place in the rank list and created the first guild in the game, it should not cause too much of a sensation.

After collecting his joy, the leaves began to turn color, and the noise at the mouth of the valley had stopped for a while, but Florendo had not returned, and he didn't know what was going on now.

Thinking about it, Ye Zhen started to sneak towards the valley mouth, in his opinion, Florendo's strength should not be defeated by the red-armored paladin Edward. If he had to choose an enemy, he would definitely choose that paladin Edward, and he would never be an enemy of Florendo, the Skeleton King, who had accumulated more than 1,500 years of strength.

Walking cautiously in the empty valley, Ye Zhen's heart suddenly had an ominous premonition, nothing would happen to Florento, thinking of this, he couldn't help but speed up his pace and ran towards the valley mouth.

When he came to the familiar valley mouth, a shocking picture suddenly appeared in front of Ye Zhen's eyes, only to see the ground and the cliff wall of the ravines, everywhere there were deep cracks left by the fierce battle, and there was not a single figure in the empty valley mouth. This can't help but make his scalp tingle, could it be that Florendor and Edward have died together, this is a headache, and the S-class tasks that have been completed with a lot of hard work, is there no reward like this?

Just as Ye Zhen was scratching his stomach and scolding the pit father's system, an angry voice suddenly emanated from the ground on his left, "Little... Family... Man, you... Already... Cleanse... Drop me, my all... Brother? ”

Hearing the sound, Ye Zhen immediately looked down to the left, only to see Florento's skeleton lying weakly on the ground, and at this time he was struggling to reach out a miserable white bone hand to grab him.

"Yes, yes, you've purified all your brothers." Hurriedly responded, Ye Zhen immediately grabbed the weak bone hand and squatted beside Florento.

"Well..., well, after more than 1,500 years, they can finally rest in peace." Florendo said weakly, with a sense of relief, at this time, not only the soul flame in his eye sockets was faintly unable to beat, but even the blood-colored epidermis on his body was slowly degrading, and many parts of the entire skeleton showed a miserable white color.

"What the hell is going on, what's wrong with you?" Looking at the Skeleton King in front of him, who was still majestic half an hour ago, he became like this at this time, Ye Zhen's eyes flickered a few times, and a sad feeling suddenly rose in his heart. This great warrior who has spanned a long time, poured out everything about himself to him without reservation, and even expelled the hateful divine brand in his body for him, which has made Ye Scar transcend his own perception of ordinary NPCs. You know, even if Florento's efforts weren't expended to help him exorcise the Divine Brand, it wouldn't have the slightest effect on the mission of purifying the undead.

"Heh... Oh, it's not a big deal, I've lived enough, and now I can finally rest in peace with those brethren, and I'm very happy..."Florendo said with all his might, and every word he uttered took almost all his strength. After saying this, he paused for a moment, and then continued, "Little one, thank you for your help, I will soon be free, this fifteen thousand four hundred and twenty-three brothers... The blood that flowed ... Condensed... Prime... Think of it as a memento for you from the Third Legion..."

Florendo said angrily, and raised his trembling palm, and on the palm full of dry bones, a bright bead of blood appeared above, and passed it towards the leaf mark with difficulty.

After receiving the blood clotting bead handed by Florento, the tip of Ye Scar's nose was slightly sour, and his eyes were full of liquid at some point, looking at the Skeleton King beside him who could disappear from this world at any time, he couldn't say a word for a while.

"Little one, don't feel sorry for me, I'm relieved, I've lived lonely for more than fifteen hundred years, I'm very happy..., to know you such a little brother in the last days of my life..., all the soldiers of the Third Legion will be forever grateful to you.... Farewell..., little family... Guy..."As Florendo made the last faint sound, the faint soul flame in his eye socket suddenly extinguished, leaving only a hollow miserable white eye socket, and at the same time, his bright red bone epidermis was only a miserable white piece at this time, and at the moment when his life was about to come to an end, the Skeleton King was full of happy smiles... Soon, as a white light fell, Florento's entire body turned to ashes and completely dissipated into the air. Since he was killed by Edward, the leader of the NPC Paladin, he was not able to leave even a single fragment of his limbs after his death.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Ye Zhen tightly covered his mouth and nose with one hand, trying not to let the tears in his eyes fall. It's strange that he has never been a sentimental person, but even he himself doesn't know why, and he has an indescribable wonderful affection for this skeleton king who has lived for more than 1,500 years.

Perhaps, it was because Florento was fearless for his brother, even if he gained the power of terror, he did not get lost in boundless hatred at the last moment, but tried all his strength to save those brothers who were like walking dead.

Sometimes, even Ye Zhen himself doesn't know if he is a hot-blooded person or not. He has always disdained to be a snake with others, and just wants to be a lone ranger and keep the last piece of pure land in his heart; Moreover, he has never coveted any glory and wealth, but with a worry-free mentality, he works hard to create a warm space for himself and his sister; Even, he never wants any fame and prestige, as long as he can try to live his true self and enjoy a free and easy gaming career, for him, it is enough.

With a light sigh, Ye Scar slowly stood up and walked towards Taniguchi like a robot.

After walking out of the valley, when the warm sun shone on the black cloak on his body, Ye Scar suddenly came back to his senses, Florendo's wish had been fulfilled, and he had lived for more than 1,500 years with such heavy shackles, and it was time to rest.

summoned the Frost Giant Ape and sat on it, and when the mount headed for the outside of the Valley of the Dead, Ye Zhen remembered the S-level mission reward in the backpack, the Blood Condensation Bead, what kind of thing would the Skeleton King give him as a souvenir?

Blood Orb: (Special Item) The Warrior's blood is condensed and can be fused into the body to obtain the following effects.

Can remain awake permanently, not controlled by any mental negative state.

How to blend: Crush the droplets.

"Shhh ”

Looking at the row of notes that were 'not under the control of any mental negative state', Ye Zhen suddenly gasped, and at this time, he could only use this way to express the shock in his heart, because he couldn't speak even if he opened his mouth wide.

Leaving aside the caste of +500 for the time being, just the latter effect of permanently staying awake is enough to make any player in the game go crazy. What is not under the control of any negative status, which means that from now on, whether it is the warrior's slam stun, or the archer's concussion arrow, or even the swordsman's strong stun and the shadow priest's fear, all negative effects will not be effective against leaf marks!

Of course, in addition to these, there are some control skills that can be effective, such as the warrior's broken tendon and the assassin's broken bone, and this paralyzing state of the Blood Clotted Bead is not immune. However, the effect of this immune to the negative state of mind alone is already extremely unnatural, and it must be known that in the game, the potions and skills that can release the control state are extremely rare, and in the early stage of the game, few people have even seen it.

In the past battles, Ye Zhen was always a little timid because he was afraid of being killed in seconds by controlling his skills, but now with something against the sky like the Blood Condensation Pearl, he can be more open in any battle in the future, and his strength can be said to have increased a lot.

"Florendo, thank you." Carefully looking at the bright blood bead in his hand, after Ye Zhen shouted to the sky, he immediately crushed the blood clotting bead in his palm, and in an instant, the crushed blood-colored brilliance all melted into Ye Zhen's body, and he only felt a refreshing coolness in his mind at any time, and his spirit was greatly lifted for a while.

After melting the Blood Clotted Bead, the blood limit of Ye Scar rose by 500 crazily, and it suddenly broke through the 2200 point mark, which was not much inferior to the so-called super shield battles in the game. You know, even the leader of the Dream Empire Guild, whose profession is shield warfare, is less than 2,200 HP at level 25, which is really crazy enough!
