Longyao City, Jinghu District.

After more than a month or so, Su Ming came here again and came to Xu Qianqian's villa.

The difference is that this time, he did not come alone, but took the limo of Xu Qianqian's house and entered the villa together with Xu Qianqian.

The villa is still the same as before. There are servants, butlers, and maids. It looks like a noble family somewhere.

But now, Su Ming already knew that this was just Xu Qianqian's personal temporary residence, not even home.

Of course, Xu Qianqian's name was indeed signed on the real estate ownership of this villa.

From Xu Qianqian's mouth, Su Ming learned that this was a gift from her grandfather, the current head of the Xu family, when she entered the Demon Hunting Academy.

Including those servants and maids, they were all transferred from the Xu family to serve Xu Qianqian.

In this regard, in addition to sighing the last sentence "I don't understand the happiness of rich people", Su Ming can only secretly curse a few words of capitalism.

But in reality, fortunately, this villa is Xu Qianqian's personal real estate, otherwise she wouldn't dare to put Xiao Hai'er here.

Su Ming walked into the villa together under the leadership of Xu Qianqian, but instead of going to the residential area, he entered the backyard of the villa.

There is a swimming pool here.

The swimming pool covers a large area, almost the size of a basketball court, and the water is very clean. You can see that there are people doing daily maintenance, and the cleanliness here has been maintained at a high level.

However, when Su Ming came here, there was an ice table floating in the center of the swimming pool.

On the ice platform, the beautiful mermaid girl lay there.

"Mirin..."

A feeble voice rang out from the mermaid girl's mouth from time to time.

I saw that Xiao Hai'er seemed to be seriously ill, lying on the ice platform half-dead, with her fish tail resting in the water, shaking slightly, but she also looked weak, giving people a feeling of extreme weakness and weakness. .

Su Ming frowned.

"How long has she been like this?"

Su Ming turned to Xu Qianqian and asked with a frown.

"It's been a while." Xu Qianqian answered truthfully, and said, "Before entering the villa, her condition was not very good, and as time passed, her condition became worse and worse."

The reason for this is actually quite simple.

"Is it still the sequelae of being injured last time?"

Su Ming explained the reason.

"It should be like this." Xu Qianqian nodded and said, "Although we gave the child a little blood to trigger her regeneration ability and heal the injury, the loss of blood is really not that simple. recover."

Due to the fact that phantoms have super-standard regeneration capabilities, ordinary attacks cannot cause effective damage to them at all.

But on the other hand, if it caused effective damage to the phantom demon, then the damage must be a serious injury that even the super-standard regeneration ability cannot recover.

For example, the spiritual technique of Tiankang Illusion.

Such as miraculous alchemical weapons.

The damage caused by the two to the phantom demons is something that the regeneration ability cannot restore.

Even if Su Ming and Xu Qianqian triggered Xiao Hai'er's regeneration ability through blood, so that Xiao Hai'er's trauma was healed, but whether it was a spiritual technique or an alchemy weapon, the damage it caused would directly affect the source of the magic demon's power— -blood.

Once the blood energy is lost, it will be more serious trouble than any injury to the phantom demons who feed on blood, live on blood, thirst for blood, and regard blood as the source of strength.

This is also the reason why people want to capture phantom demons alive, and when extracting their blood, they must be very careful not to accidentally hurt their relationship.

Otherwise, if the blood qi is damaged and the blood vessels are damaged, the extraction ceremony will not be able to proceed, and the intact blood vessels will not be extracted to be used as the main material of the magic potion.

The reason why Xiao Hai'er is so weak and her condition is getting worse is because of the damage of blood qi.

In other words...

"If you want that child to completely return to her original state, she must replenish her blood and restore her damaged blood."

Xu Qianqian said so.

However, this is not easy to do.

No, it should be said that it cannot be done easily.

"You know, what is the easiest way for the phantom to restore blood energy."

Xu Qianqian looked directly at Su Ming.

Su Ming said without changing his face: "Is it blood sucking?"

Phantoms have the characteristic of turning blood into power.

Whether it is to become more powerful or to evolve, they can achieve their goals through blood-sucking.

It can be said that blood is everything about magic, the best special medicine and the highest nutrition.

As long as there is enough blood to suck, let alone restore the damaged blood, it is possible to accumulate strength to evolve to a higher level.

However, the blood that needs to be sucked this time is not like the last time. Let Su Ming or Xu Qianqian cut a hole and put a few drops.

"In her current state, if she wants to recover completely, she must at least suck the blood of dozens of people."

Xu Qianqian told Su Ming why there was no way to do this easily.

Because it is inhumane.

Helping phantoms to harm human beings is not treason or treason, but treason.

"Does it have to hurt people's lives?" Su Ming was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "If it just needs a lot of blood, then there should be a way to not hurt anyone, right?"

For example, instead of human blood, animal blood or the like is used.

Phantoms don't only suck human blood, they also suck animal blood.

Even if the blood of animals is not enough, if human blood must be needed, it is not difficult to use the energy of the Xu family to intervene and bring out a large number of blood bags from places such as hospitals.

In this way, the problem can not be solved?

Unfortunately, things are not that simple.

"Just like the ritual of blood extraction can't be used on damaged phantoms, when phantoms suck the blood of others, it only sucks part of the blood and sucks all the blood, which are two completely different concepts."

Xu Qianqian shared such knowledge with Su Ming.

"If you just want to be full, or just like last time, a little bit stimulate the regeneration ability of the phantoms, so that their original characteristics can be awakened, then you can be perfunctory, but it involves the deep-seated blood problems such as strengthening and even evolution. , some perfunctory tricks will not work at all."

That is to say, if the phantom wants to become more powerful, and even wants to evolve, to convert the blood it sucks into its own power, it must completely suck the blood of others.

It is only a part of the blood, which is the same as the fact that the phantom with damaged blood cannot be used in the extraction ceremony. The blood is also incomplete and has a loss. Level evolution.

If Xiao Haier wants to restore the damaged blood, he must suck the whole blood, and suck up dozens of people.

As for animal blood...

"According to research, the blood of ordinary animals is far less efficient for phantoms to consume than humans."

Xu Qianqian said so.

"It's the same reason that we humans eat different things and have different nutrients. Human blood is the highest level of tonic for phantom demons. On the other hand, the blood of ordinary animals is probably the level of green vegetables and radishes."

That's why the phantoms attacked almost frantically after seeing humans.

If a person sees an elixir floating in front of him, he will definitely have the same reaction.

"Then it doesn't work, does it?"

Su Ming had to admit this.

"Dozens of living people as sacrifices can be easily found in the underground world, but in the base city, unfortunately, the Xu family has no way to find them."

Xu Qianqian said lightly.

Su Ming knew that Xu Qianqian definitely didn't say a word.

That is, this is something that cannot be done on the surface.

If it was in the dark that no one knew, it was not impossible for some big families and big forces to do some cruel things.

Isn't Xu Yanyan, in order to eradicate Xu Qianqian, not only to let several students including Li Wei live and die, but also to eradicate all the private troops under Xu Qianqian's command?

biquge.name

Those people add up to dozens of people.

Therefore, it really doesn't care about the principle, there is no bottom limit, with Xu Qianqian's ability, it is not impossible to make up dozens of lives as sacrifices.

You can imagine that it is impossible for this eldest lady to do this.

At least, she will not kill dozens of people in order to restore the state of a phantom.

This kind of thing, let alone Xu Qianqian never thought about it, even Su Ming never thought about it.

"If there are dozens of people who don't have long eyes attacking us now, trying to take our lives, it would be a lot easier."

Su Ming said this unconsciously.

For ordinary people, Su Ming naturally would not persecute for no reason.

But if the enemy and the guy who is not worth dying for, he is still willing to do it.

"There won't be people like that here." Xu Qianqian broke Su Ming's imagination and said, "Instead of thinking about such unrealistic things, it is better to think of other ways."

"Is there any other way?" Su Ming spread out his hands and said, "Then he can only bleed heavily, and use some special extraordinary items to help the girl recover."

In this world, there is no shortage of extraordinary items that can act on phantoms.

Not to mention the heavenly and earthly treasures nurtured by the unique environment in the Spirit Demon Prison, it is true that in this world, some alchemy masters who are slanted swordsman have not developed alchemy potions or alchemy tools with bizarre effects.

Among them, there are not too many things that can replenish the blood energy of the phantom demons and restore the damaged blood vessels.

Although, from the standpoint of human beings, there is absolutely no need to do research on restoring blood energy and bloodline to phantom demons, but as the saying goes, there is a market for it. Researched something like this.

In case someone accidentally hurts the phantom demon who wants to use it to extract blood, so that its blood energy is lost and cannot be used for rituals, then these things can come in handy.

The problem is that...

"Although this child is still young, he is a descendant of a superior phantom demon after all, and there is still the possibility of evolving into a nightmare species. If you want to restore this level of bloodline, can ordinary extraordinary items really be able to do it?"

Xu Qianqian questioned.

This is a question that has to be considered.

I also know that the more advanced the bloodline is, the less things can have a definite effect and effect on it.

It is absolutely difficult for a superior phantom bloodline with the potential to evolve into a nightmare species to recover this level of bloodline.

If not, Xu Qianqian would not be here to watch, and would have thought of a way to treat Xiao Haier.

Even as the eldest lady of the Xu family, it is not that easy to find useful replies when she encounters this level of bloodline.

In desperation, Xu Qianqian could only watch, until he brought Su Ming here today.

She can't help it, maybe Su Ming can do it.

for example...

"If it's Yun Langyue, with her family's energy, it shouldn't be difficult to prepare what we need."

Xu Qianqian said this in a meaningful way.

Su Ming can only laugh.

Indeed, with the "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce" that tops the four major base cities, the businesses in the four major base cities are booming, and they must have handled such extraordinary items.

Once Yun Langyue opened her mouth, it didn't take long for these things to be delivered to her for her to choose.

Su Ming only needs to inform Yun Langyue, and the problem will be solved.

Xu Qianqian's meaning was very obvious, just asking Su Ming if he wanted to speak to Yun Langyue.

And also know that Su Ming refused in his heart.

"I just owed her a big favor, and I was remembered by her. I don't know when I will be caught out and manipulated at will. How dare I owe her any more?"

Thinking of the favor he owed when he concocted the bloodline of the Nightmare Seed last time, and the agreement owed to Yun Langyue, Su Ming felt a pang.

Who knows why the goblin wants to accompany her this time?

Su Ming was really scared.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Xu Qianqian didn't know the details, but he didn't care, and asked this expressionlessly.

Su Ming suddenly scratched his head.

It is true that he is also wealthy, and he has accumulated a lot of extraordinary items from the package in his backpack.

Su Ming really doesn't remember that he has opened something that can act on the magic demon and restore the blood energy of the magic demon.

Maybe they had been opened before, but because it was useless, Su Ming felt that he must have thrown them all out for sale, or threw them into the mall and exchanged them for chips.

Trying to find such a thing now, it's really possible that you can't find it.

"There's no way, I can only really bleed once."

With that said, Su Ming flipped his hand and took out a stone covered with red veins from his backpack.

"This is...?"

Seeing this, Xu Qianqian couldn't help but startled slightly.

Su Ming did not explain, and jumped to the ice platform in the middle of the swimming pool.

"Mirin..."

Xiao Hai'er seemed to have sensed the movement, raised her head, and looked at Su Ming, her eyes were a little gloomy, and she seemed to be really out of shape, very weak.

But when Su Ming raised the red stone in his hand, Xiao Hai'er's eyes moved slightly and lit up.

Inside, a trace of surprise and longing poured out.
