The setting sun took away the last trace of heat.

This is the edge area of ​​Jingbian swamp, surrounded by tall aquatic plants, the water body is not deep, probably only about more than a foot.

A dark green grass carp leisurely emerged from the grass, but its movements suddenly stopped and then struggled violently.

The grass carp hit a transparent jelly-like thing. It seemed to notice the danger, but it was too late to break free.

Grass carp keeps struggling

The jelly-like thing seemed to have life. It was not in a hurry at all, and slowly and orderly wrapped the grass carp. The grass carp's struggle gradually became slow and stagnant.

Finally, the grass carp stopped moving

The jelly-like thing wriggled around the grass carp. The scales slowly lost their luster and gradually exuded a trace of decay.

But at this moment, with a "swoosh" sound, a cold light flashed, and a dagger was inserted into the half-rotten fish.

To the naked eye, a ball of dead white colloidal substance appeared on the body of the dead fish, like a big and cold snot, which was exactly what it was called—

Slug!

A slightly thin figure emerged from the water grass. He pulled out the dagger from the dead fish with one hand, picked up the slug with the other hand, shook his wrist and threw the dead fish out.

The thin figure turned around and showed a slightly tender but determined young face.

Bai Zhimo inserted the dagger back into the leather case at his waist, carried the slug's body, and turned around and crawled into the grass again.

There is no path in the grass, but Bai Zhimo walked very fast.

Moreover, there was no trace left in the place where he walked, and even the delicate and crisp water plants had not been broken. This hand could not be practiced in a few years.

It can be seen that he is very familiar with this grass.

After about a quarter of an hour, Bai Zhimo finally got out of the grass. This was a bare rock of more than meter in radius. The overall appearance was grayish white. This was the color after being weathered on exposed water all year round.

Bai Zhimo threw the slug corpse in his hand on a slightly flat raised stone, while he sat cross-legged in front of the slug corpse, closing his eyes solemnly.

He had sealed his hands on his chest, quickly calming his mind, and then his hands suddenly changed, like a butterfly that was frightened and took off.

After more than ten breaths, his hands formed a lotus-like handprint on his chest. After this operation, a layer of meticulous sweat also oozed from Bai Zhimo's forehead.

Bai Zhimo pushed the handprints on his chest forward, and a crystal clear and illusory three-petal lotus flew out of his hand and landed on the slug's corpse.

Three petals of purify lotus seal!

The lotus handprints fell on the slug corpse, like water seeping into the desert, leaving no trace.

The white corpse of the slug died and lost water at a speed visible to the naked eye, shriveled and withered

After about ten days, the slug's body completely dried up.

Bai Zhimo's palm gently pressed the dry corpse, and the corpse suddenly turned into pieces of flying ashes and drifted with the wind, and a blood-red crystal the size of an adult's thumb appeared in the flying ashes.

Bai Zhimo picked up the blood-colored crystal, and a hint of joy flashed through his eyes. The squatting for more than an hour just now was not wasted.

This blood-colored crystal is called a blood crystal. It is condensed from the blood of the divine blood creatures, and the one that plays a cohesion effect is to purify the lotus seal.

The divine blood creatures are strong and weak, and they are divided by sequences, from sequence 0 to sequence 9. The higher the sequence, the stronger the strength.

The slug is just the lowest-level sequence of 0 divine blood creatures. There is only about 30% chance that it can condense the bleeding crystals, and most of the time it cannot condense the blood crystals. His luck this time is obviously good.

Facing divine blood creatures, ordinary humans are no match for them at all. In ancient times, divine blood creatures are rampant and the human race is weak!

After a long exploration, the human race finally discovered the method to obtain strength and obtain the power of divine blood creatures. This is—

The Road to Divine Blood!

This is the path of promotion for the human race, and a relatively complete system has been formed now.

Ordinary people are at level zero. By constantly absorbing blood crystals, they can reach their own perfect state. Then they can take the original blood of Sequence 1 and advance to the first level and obtain the strength of the divine blood creature of Sequence 1.

At this time, they were called Sequeners.

Blood crystals can enhance the blood and qi of the sequencer. Blood and qi are the foundation of the sequencer and the root of its power.

The first-order sequencer continues to absorb blood crystals. After completion, you can take the original blood of a specific pathway, and advance to the second-order sequencer, and then the third-order sequencer, and the fourth-order

In theory, those who can always be promoted to the ninth-level sequence are equivalent to the divine blood creatures of Sequence 9.

The original blood is mainly composed of the essence and blood of divine blood creatures and is refined with certain drugs.

Bai Zhimo is now just a poor rank zero, he is working towards the first-order sequencer

Bai Zhimo took out a snakeskin pocket the size of a palm from his arms.

He stretched out his hand and shook, and the things in the snakeskin pocket were poured out, and Hao Ran was all covered with blood crystals.

Bai Zhimo squatted down, picked up a piece of blood crystal and gently rubbed sand with his fingers for a while, then put it back into the snakeskin pocket, and murmured in his mouth,

"A piece of blood crystal"

Then he picked up another piece of blood crystal and put it into his snakeskin pocket, murmured again,

"Two blood crystals"

At this time, Bai Zhimo turned into a greedy landlord Lao Cai, enjoying the utmost to calculate his wealth. At this time, the young man did not have the same firmness as before, and Hao Ran looked like a little wealth-loving attitude.

"Eight blood crystals!"

Bai Zhimo put the last piece of blood crystal back into the snakeskin pocket, licked his dry lips, and an excited light flashed in his eyes.

Although I had long felt that I had gained a lot this time, I really cleared it up and the gain really surprised him.

"Twenty-one slugs, eight blood crystals, the harvest these days has been really good. It's time to go back and take a rest!"

Bai Zhimo murmured, tying his snakeskin pocket tightly and putting it back into his arms.

The swamp night is very dangerous, and it is very likely that it will become food for divine blood creatures in sleep. Bai Zhimo has not been sleeping these days, and now he is really a little unable to withstand it.

He looked at the last trace of blood left in the West, moved his feet and crawled into the grass again.

Bai Zhimo carefully left no traces. This area was a secret place for him to repair, and he didn't want to be discovered by someone following the traces.

Bai Zhimo soon arrived in front of a huge city. The wall was more than a hundred feet high. Under the wall, people were like a sesame seed on a pancake, small and humble.

The city walls were stained with black and red blood, with marks of swords and scratches, and also with marks of divine blood creatures. These marks added a strong atmosphere of time to the city walls.

Lingbo City! The only city in Jingbian Swamp!

After taking two steps, Bai Zhimo came to the city gate and said to one of the guards with a smile.

"Thank you for your hard work in the fifth brother!"

The guard laughed and scolded, "It seems that your kid has gained a good harvest this time! But it's useless to get close to it. The money you should pay must not be less!"

Bai Zhimo took out a copper coin from his pocket and handed it to the guard.

"How can I do it? I can still take out a brother of copper coins!"

The guard took the copper coins and said with a smile,

"Okay, don't be poor, come in quickly, and the city gate will be closed soon!"

"That little fifth brother is back!"

Bai Zhimo had already entered the city as he spoke. The smile on his face gradually faded away. A piece of blood crystal could be replaced with ten copper coins. A copper coin was nothing, but he couldn't bear to get one every time he entered the city.

Actually, this is nothing, the real big deal is still the living expenses.

Living in Lingbo City, you have to pay 50 blood crystals every year, which will be handed over to the city lord's mansion directly.

The city lord of Lingbo City is the King of Lingbo - Bai Canghai, the sixth-level sequential person, who is the master of this royal city.

Only those with the sixth-level sequence are qualified to be kings, build cities, and have the strength to protect cities.

Bai Zhimo is not even a first-order sequel now, but as a great young man with pursuit, he certainly has to pursue powerful power, and of course, it is more important to survive.

After all, daily food and clothing cost requires blood crystals to be exchanged, and blood crystals are directly related to life span.

If ordinary people do not rely on blood crystals, they will only have a lifespan of forty years, but if they can ensure sufficient supply of blood crystals, they can live to one hundred years.

After the age of twenty, ordinary people need to absorb blood crystals to ensure normal survival. A piece of blood crystal can cost about ten days of consumption, and as they grow older, the consumption of blood crystals will also increase. After the age of eighty, a piece of blood crystal can only cost three days of consumption.

If a person wants to live to the upper limit of one hundred years of life, the blood crystals consumed are definitely not a small number.

But this is still the case of not practicing. If you want to practice, you will consume more blood crystals.

Bai Zhimo hunted in the swamp for five days, but he only got eight blood crystals. He is only sixteen years old this year and will definitely need a lot of blood crystals in the future. Moreover, he is not only satisfied with being an ordinary person.

Bai Zhimo returned to his home and finally felt a little angry in the quiet courtyard.

Bai Zhimo's parents were only at level 0 and had practiced some simple martial arts. They accumulated blood crystals in the hope that Bai Zhimo would become a sequencer one day.

However, when he was ten years old, his parents never came back after leaving the city, and after that, he was the only one in the family.

Bai Zhimo closed the door, came to his bed and pried up a blue brick, and pulled out a wooden box.

When I opened the box, there were neatly arranged blood crystals inside. It looked like two or three hundred.

Bai Zhimo looked at the blood crystal in the box, feeling excited.

There were 278 blood crystals in the box, plus the eight he brought back this time, which was 286 yuan.

The zero-level perfection requires about a thousand blood crystals, and then you can take the original blood and advance to the first-level sequencer.
