"What a nuisance! Before dying, he actually released the blood beast, and it's a troublesome Ironhide Pig with strong recovery and thick skin."

Li Cunxu said helplessly. The momentum of this Ironhide Pig is very strong, a notch above Xiaoruan. Obviously, this Ironhide Pig is a bronze-level minor boss's blood beast.

The Blood Cultist version of the Beast Master is also called the 'Blood Beast Master'. The Blood Beast Master is tainted with the power of the Outer Evil God, rejected by the world, and can only contract with one blood beast.

This is also why, upon the minor boss's death, only one blood beast is released.

The Ironhide Pig buried its head, looking very pained. With the Blood Beast Master's death, it was now suffering the backlash of the Beast Taming Contract.

"Troublesome, the Ironhide Pig's skin is very thick. Xiaoruan's attacks struggle to break its defense. Use garbage toxic gas? Impossible, the Ironhide Pig has decent poison resistance, and being bronze-level, poison is ineffective."

"Should I use another explosive orb? A bit wasteful, explosive orbs are restricted weapons, very hard to come by."

The explosive orb in Li Cunxu's hand was obtained by Lin Jiusan, desperate to save his daughter, and was very difficult to acquire.

The Ironhide Pig shook its head, and while Li Cunxu was pondering his strategy, it recovered and stared at him with bloodshot eyes, snorting white mist from its nose.

"Hmm? I don't seem to need to fight it."

At this moment, Li Cunxu took off his invisibility cloak. He wanted to enter the pool without getting bloodstains on the cloak.

"Come and fight me!"

Li Cunxu taunted, diving headfirst into the Blood Infant Pool, and the Blood Infant Curse instantly entangled him.

The Blood Infant Curse entered his body, momentarily confused, getting slapped by the Peach Blossom Tribulation, Golden Dragon, and Red Dragon curses.

The Blood Infant Curse is not weak; among the standout curses, even a gold-level powerhouse would be affected and conceive a Blood Infant. But compared to the three major curses within Li Cunxu, it's just a junior.

The Red Dragon Curse, already bitten several times by the Golden Dragon Curse, could also pummel the Blood Infant Curse.

Each gave it a slap, and the Blood Infant Curse pitifully retreated to the corner, not daring to make a sound, afraid of drawing the attention of the other curses.

The Ironhide Pig also dived into the Blood Infant Pool, the Blood Infant Curse wrapping around it as well, but it lacked a cursed heart. The endless resentment and hatred within the pool caused the Blood Infant Curse on the Ironhide Pig to activate rapidly, causing its belly to swell visibly.

Soon, a bloody Blood Infant burst out from the Ironhide Pig's belly.

The Blood Infant, with shark-like sharp teeth, bit into the Ironhide Pig's leg. The pained pig kicked the Blood Infant away, but boosted by the Blood Infant Pool, the Blood Infant healed its wounds quickly and resumed attacking the Ironhide Pig.

The Ironhide Pig and Blood Infant started brawling. The environment of the Blood Infant Pool prevented the land-dwelling Ironhide Pig from exerting its full strength, while the Blood Infant had the advantage of terrain, leading to an intense, evenly-matched fight.

During the fight, the Blood Infant Curse activated again, causing the Ironhide Pig to conceive another Blood Infant. Moments later, a second, then a third Blood Infant was born...

Ultimately, the Ironhide Pig, exhausted, died in the jaws of the Blood Infants it birthed.

With the mother dead, the Blood Infants completed their task and perished as well.

Elsewhere, Li Cunxu, having drunk underwater breathing potions and underwater vision potions in advance, found the purpose of his trip.

A big tree.

A blood-colored tree floating beneath the blood pool.

The entire tree was blood-colored; roots, trunk, leaves, and even the fruits were red.

This tree grew by absorbing the blood of countless children from Tongdu.

In Tongdu, 95% of newborns carry family bloodlines. The tree, nourished by countless noble bloodlines, gained a remarkable ability.

It could produce a fruit that guarantees a 100% mutation and awakening of bloodlines.

Players refer to this fruit as the Mutated Blood Awakening Fruit.

But in truth, only three players in the entire game have eaten a Mutated Blood Awakening Fruit.

Because the Mutated Blood Awakening Fruit blooms once every decade, and time acceleration items have no effect on it, one can only wait ten years patiently.

The Mutated Blood Awakening Fruit contains a trap that directly ruined the account of the first player to eat it.

Eating the Mutated Blood Awakening Fruit summons the Blood Infant Curse Spirit.

The Curse Spirit, the source of curses, is terrifying, hosting an immortal curse spirit body. Every time it's killed, its resentment grows, making it stronger.

Even a Holy Curse Master must treat the Curse Spirit with caution.

Li Cunxu's first step wasn't to hurry and eat the Blood Awakening Tree's fruit, but to take the entire Blood Awakening Tree.

The Blood Awakening Tree sustains on blood, so it isn't rooted in the soil; its roots float amidst the blood.

A tree without roots is easy to collect; a simple touch puts it into a spatial backpack.

What Li Cunxu didn't anticipate was that removing the Blood Awakening Tree would anger the Curse Spirit hidden in the Blood Infant Pool.

The Blood Infant Spirit entered Li Cunxu's body, intending to take away his life, only to get punched by the Peach Blossom Tribulation, Golden Dragon, and Red Dragon.

Peach Blossom Tribulation: I haven't even taken his life yet, who are you to take it? Get in line.

Golden Dragon: Peach Blossom Tribulation is right.

Red Dragon: Exactly, exactly.

The Blood Infant Spirit was punched around.

The Blood Infant Spirit isn't the Blood Infant Curse; it's horrifically strong and immortal.

The Peach Blossom Curse is no pushover either, leading to a fierce battle between the two.

The Red Dragon Curse was watching the fun, but soon couldn't laugh as the Golden Dragon Curse bit it sneakily.

Red Dragon: Why, big brother, what are you doing! We're on the same side.

Golden Dragon: So what if we are? Together, we can't beat either of them. Better let me eat you, and I'll kill the host for you.

Red Dragon: I want to kill the host too.

Golden Dragon: Then you should let me eat you. As two dragon curses, I'll fulfill your wish.

Red Dragon: I want to kill the host, but I also want to live. If you eat me, I'll truly die.

Golden Dragon: Shut up! Evil Dragon, have some backbone.

The curses became a tangled mess. Li Cunxu calmly retrieved the freshly picked Mutated Blood Awakening Fruit, washing it repeatedly until the skin shimmered.

"Awaken the Holy Lotus Eye bloodline, awaken the Holy Lotus Eye bloodline..."

Li Cunxu muttered this over a dozen times before taking a bite.

The Mutated Blood Awakening Fruit looked like an apple, rosy red. Li Cunxu nearly gagged on his first bite.

Horrible taste.

It felt like eating the fruits from One Piece.

Disgusting, vile, yet something you must fight over.

Suppressing the nausea, he endured and consumed the entire Mutated Blood Awakening Fruit.

The fruit had no core, which Li Cunxu was thankful for, sparing him the dilemma of whether eating the core would enhance the effect.

The next second, Li Cunxu's eyes burned as if his bloodline were awakening.

Seething hot blood seemed to fill his eyes. The deep black pupils began to glow faintly red.

Suddenly, his previously dissipated eyesight intensified, emitting a dazzling red light. His pupils transformed into a blood lotus blooming in the abyss, spinning with an aura of mystery and bloodshed.

Li Cunxu let out a Uchiha-like maniacal laugh.
