Chapter 116: Chapter 28 Dragon’s Blood_2
Ah Dai took no note of Pu Lin’s gaze, he said listlessly, "Prophet Pu Lin, you...you mean to give us this Dragon’s Blood?"
Pu Lin smiled faintly, saying, "No, it’s for you. I’ve already given my Magic Note to Xuan Yue, so naturally this Dragon God’s Blood is yours." With that, he somehow managed to have the necklace appear in his hand from within the cylinder. As the Dragon’s Blood appeared, a blue light brightly shone, as if a powerful roar was heard from afar. The Phoenix’s Blood on Xuan Yue’s chest released a strong red light in response, resonating with the Dragon God’s Blood, as if the two necklaces had their own souls and they seemed particularly jubilant at this moment.
Ah Dai quickly waved his hands, refusing, "No, no, but this is a treasured heirloom of your Pu Yan tribe! How can I take it? Prophet Pu Lin, you better keep it."
Pu Lin did not take it back, lightly saying, "Ah Dai, take it. I trust you with this Divine Artifact. As a Divine Artifact, it should fulfill its function. With the millennium catastrophe approaching, I hope that it can shine in your hands. Use its powers wisely, consider this as the reward from our Pu Lin tribe to you. Assisting the Savior is what we should do."
Xuan Yue glanced at Pu Lin, then at Ah Dai, she suddenly snatched the Dragon’s Blood from Pu Lin’s hands and shoved it into Ah Dai’s, scolding, "When you’re told to take it, just take it. Didn’t Prophet Pu Lin say that we will serve their Pu Yan tribe in the future? With the Dragon’s Blood, our odds will increase significantly. At worst, after everything is over, we can return it back to him."
Ah Dai staggered, the Dragon’s Blood in his hand was slightly warm, his entire body filled with a comfortable feeling, like a genial intimacy. Moreover, this Dragon’s Blood seemed to be very familiar to him, after entering Ah Dai’s hand, the blue light gradually dimmed, but the insurmountable energy enclosed within it had not decreased.
Ah Dai said, "Prophet Pu Lin, I guess I’ll borrow it for now. Thank you."
Pu Lin smiled and said, "There is a spell to invoke the Dragon’s Blood. When you wish to use it, concentrate on the Dragon’s Blood and you will naturally know the spell. As for some of its other uses, the spells of the Dragon’s Blood and Phoenix’s Blood are almost the same. Let Xuan Yue tell you in the future." A profound look flowed in Pu Lin’s eyes as he contentedly said, "My mission is finally complete. The future of the Pu Yan tribe now depends on you. Xuan Yue, Ah Dai, you must not disappoint me."
Xuan Yue gripped Ah Dai’s hand and said, "We’ll do our best. Prophet Pu Lin, do you have any other matters? Should we get going now? Yan Shi is still in danger, aren’t you afraid that someone might harm him? The murderer who silently killed Yan Shi’s wife could probably be endangering Yan Shi right now."
A wisp of sorrow shone through Pu Lin’s eyes as he sighed, "Yan Shi is like a son to me, watched him grow up, his fate has already been determined by the heavens, which cannot be altered by human power. I’ve already arranged for his matters. Rest assured. There’s something else I need to tell you two. You’ve seen the Tilu warriors in the Tilu Temple, what are your thoughts on them?"
A tinge of fear could be seen in both Xuan Yue’s and Ah Dai’s eyes simultaneously. Xuan Yue said, "They are the most dangerous warriors I have ever seen. Even the Judges in the Court of Justice of the Church can barely compare to them, your Pu Yan tribe really has a lot of experts!"
Ah Dai said, "They are indeed very powerful, especially the two Tilu warriors at the entrance of the stone cave just now. As long as they attack, either one of them can easily kill us."
Pu Lin spoke in pain, "These Tilu warriors are the most respected heroes of our Pu Yan tribe! Do you know how they came to be? Let me tell you now, this can be said to be the biggest secret in our tribe. A thousand years ago, our Pu Yan tribe almost got annihilated by the catastrophe. After the disaster, we were at the brink of collapse. In order to let our Pu Yan tribe continue to grow, the then clan leader decided to use arcane witchcraft to create the most powerful warriors."
Ah Dai responded in surprise, "Powerful warriors can be created?"
Pu Lin nodded, "Witchcraft is a very mysterious thing, similar to the long lost Undead Magic. Those who employ witchcraft must give up something to achieve their goals. In our Pu Yan tribe, there’s a type of witchcraft that brings out a person’s potential in its entirety, but its price is very high, and that is - the soul."
Xuan Yue and Ah Dai simultaneously exclaimed, "Soul?"
Pu Lin nodded mournfully, "Yes, soul. After using this witchcraft, they offer their souls as the cost. Although the warriors who have used witchcraft lose their souls, their bodies, as long as not destroyed, can achieve immortality. That’s what the current Tilu warriors are. They not only have a very powerful offensive and defensive ability, but their potential has also been fully exploited. What’s most terrifying is their self-healing ability, unless their bodies are completely destroyed or maimed, they can be considered immortal."
Ah Dai murmured, "Trading their souls for powerful strength, this... seems too..."
