Harvest Support

"what!"

The river god's demon was set ablaze like dry tinder, and Okabayashi Saeko felt the pain and screamed in agony.

The three-zhang-tall river god's messenger shrank rapidly after being burned by the crimson flames.

Finally, it transformed back into a tiny river god, three feet tall.

Okabayashi Saeko had no fire on her body, yet she was writhing on the ground in pain.

He shouted wildly, sometimes in barbarian language and sometimes in the language of the Celestial Dynasty.

"Honor the God of Ming, honor the God of Ming!" (Barbarian language).

"Please, spare me!" (Senjou).

"River God, save me! River God, save me!" (in a barbarian language).

"We have no choice but to go home!" (Barbarian language).

Xu Yunxin could only understand one sentence pleading for mercy; he couldn't understand anything else.

He didn't care to understand at all; he just wanted to burn the river god's messenger as soon as possible.

You should know that the crimson flames are burning away his lifespan!

But the more anxious you are, the more mistakes you'll make.

The river god's messenger, engulfed in raging flames, suddenly unleashed a white-blue energy completely different from the blood demon.

This layer of white-blue energy has a very small total amount, but it stands out conspicuously among the blood-red energy.

It was precisely because of these small amounts of white-blue energy that it was able to insulate against the red flames, slowing down the burning of the fire.

Xu Yunxin was extremely anxious!

Even one more breath is a matter of life and death!

Just then, the sneaky Xiao Qing suddenly appeared, staring intently at the few traces of white-blue energy on the River God's messenger.

"Hiss~ Young Master, it smells so good~ Hiss!"

Just as Xu Yunxin realized what Xiaoqing meant by "it smells so good," Xiaoqing opened her mouth and took a deep sniff.

The white and blue energy didn't seem to care about the river god's messenger; it was absorbed by Xiaoqing and floated over.

Xu Yunxin only had time to say "Wait a minute".

Xiaoqing had already inhaled that bit of white-blue energy into her mouth.

The river god's envoy lost that bit of white-blue energy, and the bloodlust on his body burned fiercely once more.

It burned to ashes in no time.

As soon as the River God's messenger died, Okabayashi Saeko suddenly sat up as if experiencing a brief moment of lucidity before collapsing to the ground, muttered a few words to herself, and then fell back to the ground, motionless.

Xu Yunxin received another crimson source.

He dispersed the tree trunk and immediately threw two [Skill: World Tree Blessing] spells at Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing squinted her big eyes comfortably, her snake face filled with "I want more, I want more."

Just in case, Xu Yunxin also used the [Skill: Animal Spirit Contract] on Xiaoqing.

Xiaoqing's information was detected as normal, and her bloodline evolution degree increased from 13.8 per thousand to 20 per thousand.

How did it improve so much?!

Seeing that Xiaoqing was clear-headed and didn't seem to be in any danger, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, just in case.

Xu Yunxin then used magic to conjure twenty-two earth spikes and nailed Okabayashi Saeko's body all over, only stopping when he confirmed that she was truly dead.

At this moment, looking around the arena, there was not a single living creature besides Xiaoqing and him.

Especially those first-tier demonic beasts that were captured were almost all crushed into mincemeat by the intense aftershocks of the battle, and all their good flesh was wasted.

However, the barbarians didn't fare much better; of the three groups of barbarians, only Okabayashi Saeko was left with a complete corpse.

Xu Yunxin quickly cleaned up the battlefield and then had Xiao Qing use her cloud-based stealth to quickly return towards Qingxi Town.

He had been there for more than two days and had no idea what the situation was like in Qingxi Town.

Taking advantage of Xiaoqing's return on the cloud, Xu Yunxin finally had time to check the system.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

The entire battle lasted no more than ten breaths.

His lifespan was reduced from 109 years to 99 years!

Ten whole years were burned away in those ten breaths!

Xu Yunxin felt heartbroken and on the verge of death!

That's fucking deadly!

The key issue is that, unlike other systems, he can't gain lifespan by killing barbarians!

He's only spending and not earning; if this continues...

He really didn't know if he could live to reach the Foundation Establishment stage!

How about we form a contract with a long-lived monster?

If we could draw a talent related to longevity, it would be good to help him out and save him some blood.

Xu Yunxin was making plans in his mind, but he hadn't considered where to find long-lived monsters in this Thousand Lakes Wasteland.

Besides deducting ten years from lifespan.

Xu Yunxin's white essence has been depleted once again.

I'm not too bothered by this, since the [Skill: Wild Transformation] has been upgraded from LV0 to LV4, and the transformation duration has increased from the initial three breaths to fifteen breaths!

For Xu Yunxin, this means his combat power has more than doubled.

With the fifteen-breath [Wild Transformation] as a backup, plus the annihilation of three barbarian squads in this battle.

Xu Yunxin was also somewhat confident about the final battle.

Even if things go wrong, it will at least save Uncle Fu and the two daughters of Yue’s family.

The only pity is that, despite the upgrade of his [Skill: Wild Transformation], the Crimson Gold Buddha Tree he transformed into did not become larger.

If it could grow to five, six, or ten zhang, the speed of cultivation would surely be much faster!

In addition, they also obtained three red primordial essences.

This is the "reward from heaven and earth" that he earned by exchanging ten years of his life.

Trading three years and four months of life for a single Crimson Essence is far too expensive.

If it weren't for the fact that the "Burning Sacred Flame" was so effective against the barbarian shikigami, capable of destroying them, Xu Yunxin really wouldn't have been willing to spend money on it!

Finally, Xiaoqing's bloodline increased from 13.8 to 14.

Although Xu Yunxin cast the World Tree Blessing on Xiaoqing multiple times during this battle, even if he cast it ten times more often, he still couldn't push Xiaoqing's bloodline evolution level to twenty!

After all, his current [World Tree Blessing] is only at LV0.

After much thought, the only explanation is that magical combat is beneficial for bloodline evolution, and the other reason is the strange energy obtained from that barbarian ugly ghost.

I have no idea what those white and blue energies are.

Xu Yunxin specifically asked Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing gave a vague answer.

It only told Xu Yunxin that it wanted to eat.

Well, as expected, foodies can find good food wherever they want.

As Xu Yunxin pondered this, he leaned against Xiaoqing and fell asleep.

This time, he came out to meet Yue Yinping, and together they wiped out five barbarian squads.

Although all the battles ended without serious injury, the tension that had been building since he left the town finally eased.

He slept very soundly and was woken up by Xiaoqing.
