Chapter 283: Chapter 133: Burden of Wisdom, Store Closing

"Body Refining Level 3, activate! I’m overwhelmed with emotion, brothers, finally reached Body Refining Level 3. I can now inherit my Rapid Life Soul Attribute, my strength has skyrocketed significantly."

"Earned over 8000 sacrificial power this time. It’s like packing money in bags. Pleasing the Ancient God doesn’t compare to the scent of the Jile Clan."

"Hearing you guys earned so much, my 2000 sacrificial power suddenly feels less appealing. You guys are dead wrong, how can you kill so many? I need to get a vehicle; speed advantage is too important."

"Brothers, head to the Explorer’s livestream and send some support. This wealth we have is all thanks to him."

"Small black room party, add forum friends in advance. As soon as the isolation ends, let’s move out. Friends with vehicles come along; short-legged ones, don’t bother PMing."

...

Players expelled from Jile Hall began to post screenshots of their sacrificial power earnings on the forum.

This greatly motivated players who hadn’t taken this Hidden Task seriously, and they felt regretful while preparing to set off.

Players who became isolated in the small black room weren’t idle either, recruiting teammates for a second entry while they waited.

Clearly, the Jile Clan was still unaware of the evil forces entangling them.

In the players’ eyes, profit is paramount.

The threat of death is infinitely minimized compared to the benefits, especially in the Jile Palace where rewards can be gained effortlessly in a hidden scene.

Normally, players struggle to slay a powerful monster, needing potions and teamwork during the battle.

But inside the Jile Palace, they can output attacks freely; monsters of high Hunting Level barely resist.

This hidden scene truly deserves the name "Jile."

Once is not enough; if resurrected, they naturally have to go again.

As soon as Resurrection Cooldown ends, players quickly organize a massive team, marching toward the area where branches of Jile Hall are located.

Unexpected surprises appeared on the way this time.

A player squad encountered a Level 29 Source Monster while rushing to their destination.

The monster resembles a mummy with a pair of blue spectral eyes, its body wrapped tightly with dry, cracked bandages. Between the gaps, one can faintly see the outline of shriveled muscles and misaligned bone structures. Deep-set eyes in a gaunt eye socket, its steps are stumbling and heavy, accompanied by friction sounds of the bandages and a deep breath from within.

Through player decomposition, Qi Sheng received feedback information immediately.

[Thirst for Blood (Third Generation Primordial)]

Source Introduction: A Primordial Monster mastering the Thirst for Blood trait. Upon releasing its ability, a Thirst Blood Mark generates above its head, centering itself, continuously absorbing nearby targets’ Qi-Blood loss and converting it into Healing Energy to repair bodily damage. The coverage of Thirst Blood Mark depends on its own Qi-Blood Strength (the range can be freely controlled on/off).

...

Upon discovering the Third Generation Primordial Monster, the player squad unhesitatingly attacked.

But this Source Monster was extremely tenacious.

During battle, a Rune Mark appears above its head, releasing a blood-colored light-domain with a 10-meter radius centering on itself.

Within the domain, as long as players are injured, their blood will be continuously absorbed, healing the Source Monster’s wounds, akin to an unkillable pest.

This squad was mostly composed of close combat players, fighting the Thirsty Blood Source proved exceptionally strenuous.

Ultimately, they completed the containment at the cost of two players returning to Imperial Tomb Village.

The containment of the Thirst Blood Mark sparked joy among Stone Statue Stream players.

Even though Life Soul Characteristic has no effect against Black Tide Demonic Spirits and other entities composed of energy bodies, it has marvelous effects against the Insect Tide and other fleshy enemy factions.

Embedding the Thirsty Blood Life Soul signifies longer survivability in specific environments.

The new Life Soul, freshly introduced, has already been seen by many Stone Statue Stream players as a must-have core Life Soul.

This containment also earned the Player Corps an achievement.

When the test tower building first debuted, there were 729 Life Souls available for testing. Apart from previously contained Life Souls, others were uncontained simulated ones.

Thirst for Blood is the first Life Soul to transition from simulated to realistically usable.

These simulated Life Souls were previously assumed by players that even if their real lifespan ended, containment wouldn’t necessarily be seen.

Considering Monster World is vast and limitless, finding Source Traits in the Life Soul Library among countless Source Monsters is like searching for a needle in a haystack; the chances were extremely slim.

This successful containment quickly drew attention from Strategy Guide Players.

New Star Vein Combination flows are progressively debuting under the testing of Strategy Guide Players.

Many players still en route joined the discussion to pass their journey time.

During this period, a set of Star Vein Combination gained rapid popularity.

This flow was dubbed: Blood Demon Mark Flow.

Its Star Vein Combination features the stone-statue ghost at its core, paired with Thirst for Blood, Fierce Poison, Shattering, and Forbidden Blade.

The core characteristic of this Star Vein Combination is that even standing still, it continuously inflicts damage to nearby targets. The blood lost from enemy wounds simultaneously heals the player’s damaged body.

Because the Thirst Blood Mark resembles a domain-type skill akin to Dullness, combining it with other special-effect Life Souls can create a close combat domain.

As long as the target suffers injuries during this period, the Thirst Blood Mark will drain their blood, Physical damage caused by Qi-Blood loss can stack Vicious Poison Attribute, which then automatically stacks Forbidden Blade Attribute, further augmented by Shattering Domain’s physical penetration effects.
