Chapter 95 - 95: The Heart of the Blood Count! 1
This feeling filled Fang Mu’s heart with sudden joy.
Despite this being Fang Mu’s first time feeling the vibrations of Fool’s Shadow, he had previously experienced the agitation of the Blood of Abundance!
What had initially caused the Blood of Abundance to become excited was the Blood Crystal obtained from refining the carcass of a Blood Clan newborn.
It appears that in the collection of the Lionheart Brigade that Liu Jihui wanted to share with him, there should be something that can enhance the quality of the Blood of Abundance and Fool’s Shadow.
As expected, within a minute, the entrance to the quiet room had been completely opened from the outside in!
Liu Jihui stood at the entrance, with the sixty-six members of the Lionheart Brigade standing behind him.
Zhang Ran, the captain most valued by Liu Jihui, followed closely behind him, holding a book.
Each of the sixty-six members behind them held a tray covered in red silk.
Liu Jihui first bowed respectfully in the direction of Fang Mu.
With a knowing look, he signaled Zhang Ran to enter the quiet room with him.
After reaching Fang Mu’s side, Liu Jihui spoke with respect and eagerness.
“Sir Jianmu, our Lionheart Brigade has always had the habit of organizing collections!”
“This book contains all the collection records of our Lionheart Brigade!”
“Because many Guardian Beasts have a pungent smell, we didn’t want to disturb your elegance.”
“So if you’re interested in any Guardian Beast, I’ll have someone get it for you!” “All the other collections listed in this book, I have already had people bring them.”
“If you want to see the actual items, I can have them brought in right away!” Lu Yuyu and Fang Mu have known each other for a long time.
Plus, they both had come to attend the Lionheart Brigade’s trade fair this time, and had shared an experience.
So, Lu Yuyu, who was at Fang Mu’s side, was much more relaxed than before.
Watching Liu Jihui ingratiatingly pleasing Fang Mu, Lu Yuyu couldn’t help but smack his lips.
The vice captain of the Lionheart Brigade, Liu Jihui, was considered a significant figure in JA City!
The Lionheart Brigade was also a formidable private force in Jinghai Province.
Liu Jihui had a nickname, known as “Cold-Faced Yama”.
Of course, this nickname was usually used by forces with lower standing than the Lionheart Brigade.
People like Lu Yuyu and Luo Su preferred calling Liu Jihui “Stinky Face Bitter Gourd” privately!
With Liu Jihui’s stern face, it always seems to carry a bitter look that irritates people.
But now, Liu Jihui was smiling broadly, almost like a female technician at a foot washing city.
Looking through the entrance and seeing those Lionheart Brigade members in the corridor holding trays, Lu Yuyu muttered to himself.
To please Fang Mu, Liu Jihui had initiated the Lionheart Brigade’s highest standard of hospitality!
Even going as far as deploying the full lineup, completely disregarding those guests who came to participate in the trade fair!
Fang Mu took the book from Zhang Ran, who was standing next to Liu Jihui, and said with a smile.
“Thank you for your hospitality!”
“Have the members of the Lionheart Brigade bring those collections in!”
“Perhaps in the future, I may have the opportunity to cooperate with the Lionheart Brigade.”
Liu Jihui hadn’t had much contact with Fang Mu, having only met a few times.
Furthermore, in those few encounters, Lu Yuyu was usually the one speaking.
Liu Jihui initially thought that Jianmu would be a very arrogant person.
It was hard for anyone who was promoted to a high position at a young age to not become arrogant.
Especially given that Jianmu had the qualifications to be arrogant anywhere!
But he was surprised to find Jianmu to be so polite, taking the initiative to thank him!
Moreover, Jianmu made it clear that there would be opportunities to cooperate with the Lionheart Brigade in the future.
As for Jianmu emphasizing personal cooperation with the Lionheart Brigade, Liu Jihui did not mind at all.
Jianmu’s relationship was already in front of Liu Jihui, but Liu Jihui didn’t dare to climb it.
Having the opportunity to build a relationship with Jianmu was already a fortune smiled upon upon him in Liu Jihui’s mind.
Fang Mu did not immediately flip through the book in his hand.
Instead, he planned to directly find the items from the upcoming collections that caused a reaction in the Blood of Abundance and Fool’s Shadow.
Under the arrangement of Liu Jihui’s assistant Zhang Ran, the members of the Lionheart Brigade came in one by one and lined up.
They then took turns bringing the collections on their trays to Fang Mu for him to select.
All items collected by the Lionheart Brigade were treasures!
However, not only did Fang Mu not need these things, Fang Qin, Fang Yuan, and Yan Wood had no use for them either.
For these types of resources, Fang Mu had no need to hoard them.
He had already established his identity as a disciple of the Grandmaster Creator, and it was easy to obtain the resources he wanted through his existing network.
When he saw the fourteenth tray, Fang Mu saw a throbbing dark red heart in the upper left corner of the tray.
This heart was the size of Fang Mu’s fist.
Although it had already been removed from its body, it still created a fresh red flow of blood with every pulsation.
It circulated non-stop between the atrium and ventricles, forming a perfect closed loop.
As Fang Mu looked at this continuously pulsating dark red heart, his Destiny Guardian Beast, Blood of Abundance, which had already been seething intensely, started growing even more restless.
On one hand, Fang Mu pacified the Blood of Abundance, urging it to remain calm.
On the other hand, he was prepared to investigate the heart on the plate through the Eye of Omniscience.
Upon seeing Fang Mu’s gaze land on this pulsating heart, Liu Jihui introduced it with a hint of pride.
“This is the spoils that our Lionheart Brigade obtained when we were assigned to explore a Destruction Level Blood Fort Dimensional Rift.” “It’s the heart of a Blood Race Earl, the source of an Earl’s energy.”
A Blood Race Earl!?
This was actually the heart of a Blood Race Earl!
Beasts of the Blood Race Earl level were something that Fang Mu had never had the chance to encounter before.
It was said that when a Bloodline newborn evolved into a Blood Race Earl, its mastery over blood had reached a fantastical level.
The physical strength of such beings was comparable to that of Diamond Rank Guardian Beasts.
Once they advanced further and became Blood Dukes, they could dwell in “Crimson”!
It turns out that his Destiny Guardian Beast, Blood of Abundance, had a run-in with these abnormal beasts of the Blood Race!
It seems that in the future, upgrading the quality of the Blood of Abundance will depend on the Blood Fort Dimensional Rift!
The materials produced in this type of Blood Fort Dimensional Rift should definitely be in stock within the Scavenger.
Fang Mu planned to find a time to talk to Feng Lin about this.
Perhaps after improving the quality of the Blood of Abundance, he could speed up the process of condensing Blood Aged Wine and Contracting Blood!
Lu Yuyu was surprised to see a dark golden pattern on the heart of the Blood Race Earl before her.
“This Blood Race Earl was already showing signs of evolving into a Blood Race Duke!”
“Your Lionheart Brigade must have paid a huge price for this heart, right?!” At the words of Lu Yuyu, a trace of sorrow spread across Liu Jihui’s smiling face.
“Though high-level beasts have usable spiritual materials within their bodies, who would risk their lives to kill these beasts just for these materials?” “The reason for killing beasts is still to eliminate dimensional rifts!”
“Because we encountered this Blood Race Earl, two of our Lionheart Brigade members were seriously injured, one member lost a Guardian Beast, and it was mentally traumatized. ”
“Even now, he can only do logistical work!”
Lu Yuyu didn’t argue with Liu Jihui’s words.
Beast Masters who combat these beasts are in some ways, heroes!
However, when being summoned on assignments, the tasks given are usually within the capability of the Lionheart Brigade.
A Destruction Level Beast in a Destruction Level Dimensional Rift is usually eliminated by a powerful being who possesses a Sequential Guardian Beast.
Most likely the Lionheart Brigade encountered this Blood Race Earl during a mission.
They were sneak attacked by this Blood Race Earl using its blood abilities!
Otherwise, with the strength of the Lionheart Brigade, their losses shouldn’t have been so severe when encountering a Blood Race Earl.
Even if this Blood Race Earl was on the verge of evolving into a Blood Race Duke.
As long as the Blood Race doesn’t promote to Duke, it can never be compared with Sequential Guardian Beasts.
Fang Mu knew that Blood Fort rifts were extremely dangerous.
Bloodline newborns stood at the pinnacle of First Soldier-Level Beasts. Each one could compete with a Beast Master at the Silver Peak stage!
Above the Bloodline newborn are the Blood Knights and the Blood Nobles.
Blood Nobles and Blood Knights both surpass the Silver Stage but still have a certain gap with Golden Stage Guardian Beasts.
If a Bloodline newborn once evolved into a Blood Knight, it indicated that the bloodline of this Bloodline newborn was impure.
It basically had no possibility of further promoting its bloodline.
Only the Blood Clan beings that evolved into Nobles, and consistently evolved into Barons, having powers comparable to Golden Stage Guardian Beasts.
They were considered the nobility among the Blood Fort dimensional world!
Blood Barons were the cream of the crop among Heavy Artillery Level Beasts.
Once the bloodline was promoted to Viscount, they would become Terrifying Level Beasts.
However, unlike the dominance of Bloodline Newborns and Blood Barons among First Soldier-Level and Heavy Artillery Level Beasts,
Blood Viscounts belonged to the weaker existences among Terrifying Level Beasts.
They absolutely could not be compared with the Terrifying Level Horned Demons from the Abyss Dimensional Rift, and Terrifying Level Net Hunting Squids from Water World Dimensional Rift.
But when they evolved into Blood Counts, Blood Counts would once again rise among the Destruction Level Beasts.
Among the Destruction Level Beasts, they belonged to the upper echelons!
Fang Mu felt a sense of sentimentality at this moment.
That was, ever since he had disguised himself as a grandmaster disciple, his horizons had greatly expanded compared to before!
Otherwise, even if Fang Mu became a Beast Master and continued to advance along the established path,
Before he became a Four-pointed Star Beast Master and owned a Diamond Level Beast.
He would not be qualified to even touch spiritual materials like the Blood Count’s heart!
