Chapter 110: The Demon Rat King is out, the beginning of the end

"Father, I haven't recovered from my injuries yet, why do you have to pull me out?" The young man complained reluctantly.

The middle-aged man glared at his son and said, "You heartless fellow, if it weren't for your cousin and Mr. Rorschach, do you think you would still be alive and recovering from your injuries? Now that they are participating in the Blood Hunt, shouldn't you be cheering them on?"

This middle-aged man was none other than Chevara's uncle, Samir, the owner of the Baroque Alchemy Workshop in the central city, and the young man he was holding was naturally his son Dean who had been rescued not long ago.

As for his daughter Yufei, she had been sent back to the family and put into confinement.

When Dean heard that they were here to cheer for his two saviors, he immediately lost his temper and said weakly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier that you were here to cheer for my cousins, I wouldn't have complained..."

"You talk too much!"

Samir said unhappily.

As they were talking, the father and son had already arrived at a crowded pub.

This is one of the many partners of Blood Hunter. You can use alchemy items to check the Blood Hunter rankings at any time, as well as some exciting real-time pictures.

Of course, whether it is exciting or not is definitely decided by the Morning Star wizards who are responsible for observing the situation on the scene with the telescope technique.

There are two Morning Star Wizards in charge of this matter. Each of them will select five perspectives for live broadcast anytime and anywhere, for a total of ten perspectives.

"My cousin is now ranked 8,672nd, and Mr. Rorschach is ranked 1,314th." Dean said to his father Samir after checking with the alchemy tools in the tavern.

"Mr. Rorschach is indeed extraordinary." Samir murmured after hearing this, and then asked his son, "Do you want to play something exciting?"

"What?" Dean didn't expect his always old-fashioned father to ask this.

"Let's go!" Samir asked his son to follow him.

Soon, the father and son arrived at the betting point.

"Hello sir, please help me check the real-time odds of Rorschach and Chevalar." Samir said to the Morning Star Wizard sitting in the betting point.

Yes, the person in charge of opening the market here is the owner of this tavern, who is also a Morning Star Wizard!
In the central city, although Morning Star wizards are not everywhere, they are certainly not rare.

In addition, the amount of money involved in the opening of Blood Hunter is not small, so naturally the boss is needed to come and take charge of the situation personally.

"Blood Hunter Rorschach, the real-time odds for entering the top 1 are 2.5 to 1, and the odds for entering the top 100 are 1 to 30." The Morning Star Wizard checked and said, "Blood Hunter Chevala, the odds for entering the top 1 are 100 to , and the odds for entering the top are also to ."

When Samir heard the odds, he realized that 1 to 100 was the upper limit of the odds for this plate, not the upper limit of the odds for Chevala.

But he didn't intend to make money from this, he just wanted to help his nephew build up his reputation and have some fun.

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Then please help me get 1000 bloodstones for Rorschach who is in the top 200, 800 bloodstones for the top 2000, and bloodstones for Chevalar who is in the top , a total of bloodstones."

After saying that, he traded 2000 blood stones to the Morning Star Wizard.

"Dad, are you crazy? Why are you doing such a big thing?" Dean was shocked by his father's generosity.

Bloodstone is the currency in circulation in the Blood Prison world group, and its value is very high, because it is not just a currency.

Each bloodstone is made of extremely pure power of the Blood Prison, and can be used in both alchemy and cultivation. 2000 bloodstones are equivalent to four or five years' rent for the Baroque Alchemy Workshop in the central city. This is no small number.

Dean originally thought that his father was just playing around and would probably play with a hundred or two hundred blood stones at most, but who could have imagined that his father would play with something so big.

"Your cousin told me before he joined the Blood Hunt that if I wanted to have fun, I should do this," Samir explained.

"Well, I hope everything goes well for my cousin and the others." Dean didn't know what to say after hearing that. He just hoped that his father wouldn't lose too badly.

……

While Samir and his son were placing bets, in another tavern in the central city, a man who looked to be in his early thirties was also checking the real-time changes in the Blood Hunter rankings through the alchemy props here.

"Did you climb all the way from over 3,000 to over 1,000 so quickly? Most of the people ahead of you are high-level wizard apprentices. If you're lucky, maybe you can eventually make it into the top 1,000?" The man rubbed his chin with his hand.

This man was none other than the Dark Bone Wizard who had just separated from Rorschach and the others not long ago as the Joker.

Having promised Zeus that he would secretly protect Rorschach until he reached Blood Prison Island, it was naturally impossible for him to just leave him alone.

However, he couldn't stop Luo Xia from participating in the Blood Hunt, and the Blood Hunt was presided over by the Eighth Prison Lord himself. What could he do?
So all we could do was watch from outside, and at the same time hope that nothing happened to Rorschach.

However, just after he made the judgment that Rorschach might be lucky enough to be among the top 1,000, Rorschach's ranking suddenly rose a lot and directly reached 911th!
This change was actually the change that happened to Luo Xia after he killed the titled Demon Wu Bingmo Guthro, which allowed him to reach the top thousand in one fell swoop!

You know, strictly speaking, the strength of a Titled Demon Warrior is actually at the same level as that of a high-level wizard apprentice, but the latter has more means.

Although many high-level wizard apprentices have defeated or even killed Titled Magic Warriors, there are also some who have been killed in return, but the proportion is very low.

Luo Xia killed three titled magic warriors. With such an achievement, it is not surprising that he can be among the top thousand.

If he had not been like some blood hunters who killed people wherever they went and hunted indiscriminately, he would have had a chance to move up another 100 or 200 places in the rankings.

The Dark Bone Wizard was not aware of Rorschach's true strength. He only knew that Rorschach had used a sneak attack to kill his registered disciple Elliot. This record alone could not prove that Rorschach was stronger than Elliot. At most, it could only prove that Rorschach could unleash power equivalent to that of a high-level wizard apprentice.

That's why he judged that Rorschach had a chance to be among the top 1,000, but he didn't expect that the actual situation would happen much faster than he expected.

"You seem to care about him a lot?" a sudden voice asked.

"I...you!" The Black Bone Wizard was suddenly shocked.

Because sitting opposite him at this moment was a little girl, also the little Xila who had just separated from Luo Xia and the others not long ago, or to be more precise, the Lord of the Happy Domain - Lord of Joy Xila!
The strongest lord of the Eighth Blood Hell actually appeared here!
"Can't you just let me go, Lady Xila? I'm no longer in the Happy Domain." The Black Bone Wizard said with a wry smile.

He was really helpless.

He was not afraid of most of the more than one hundred lords of the Eighth Blood Hell. He was wary of only a small number of them, and there were a few whom he could not afford to offend at all.

Sheila was undoubtedly one of the people he couldn't afford to offend.

Previously in Happy Domain, Xila’s sudden appearance had already given him a headache, but he didn’t expect that she would appear here again.

"Why, are you so unhappy to see me?" Sheila's face was filled with her signature lively smile.

"That's not what I meant." The Black Bone Wizard's smile was uglier than crying. "If you need anything, just tell me. I promise to do it."

"I don't need anything. I just came to see the Blood Hunter. I just happened to see you and came over to say hello." Xila said.

“I see.” The Black Bone Wizard said with a smile, “Why don’t you stay here and watch. I’ll leave first and won’t disturb you from watching the Blood Hunt.”

Having said that, the Dark Bone Wizard was already preparing to stand up.

"Sit down and watch it here with me." Xila said lightly.

"okay!"

The Black Bone Wizard didn't say a word and just sat up straight and spoke.

*********
The situation outside the Demonic Martial Realm was not within Rorschach's consideration.

Now he has adapted to this mode of fighting to support fighting.

Some of his earlier psychological barriers no longer existed, as he gradually realized that he was not qualified to have compassion on others.

The essence of Blood Hunting is like a war of civilizations. There is no right or wrong in war. It would not be surprising even if he died in Blood Hunting.

"You butchers and executioners will be punished..." the giant mountain demon Bamin cursed as he fell into Rorschach's hands.

"If there is a chance, I will pass this sentence on to those who control the world. As for you and me... we are just pawns." Rorschach looked at Bamin calmly and squeezed out his last value.

This time, his foundation laying progress has reached nearly two-fifths, but he is still a little short of two-fifths.

The giant mountain demon Bamin is indeed a titled demon warrior who is stronger than the previous three. After a battle, Luo Xia almost suffered heavy losses several times.

If it weren't for the True Prison Eyes, which allowed him to anticipate the enemy and find the giant mountain demon Bamin's weaknesses several times, he might have already been defeated.

Of course, defeat does not mean losing.

Because he did not use any wizard apprentice-style attacks throughout the process, nor did he let little David intervene.

If all of them were used, the Mountain Devil would have been dead by tomorrow.

Shortly after Rorschach killed the giant mountain demon Bamin, Chevala arrived here and finally met Rorschach again.

"My lord, I finally found you... You have no idea how dangerous my journey was. Those magic warriors were like crazy... And there was a damn magic warrior grandmaster who almost intercepted me..." Chevala started crying to Rorschach from a distance about how hard it was for him.

"Okay, stop complaining. Want to go further?" Rorschach suddenly said.

"Yes, of course I do. I dream about it, my Lord!" Chevala stopped complaining when he heard this and asked excitedly. "I will pull your consciousness into Purgatory later. You will change the object of visualization from Blood Hell to Purgatory. I will guide you. Do you understand?" Rorschach said.

"Ah? Is this really possible?" Chevara was a little dumbfounded.

He didn't expect that a further method would be to change even the target of visualization.

It turned out that he had indeed heard that some wizard apprentices would change their visualization targets in order to find a path that better suits them.

But that is also switching between the six eternal realm artifacts, and even if the switch is successful, it will take a lot of time to transform one's attributes.

But he believed that Rorschach would not harm him, so he was stunned for a moment and then immediately agreed, "Okay, I understand."

Rorschach saw this and said nothing more. He simply closed his eyes and pulled Chevala's consciousness into Purgatory.

Chevara, who was in purgatory, quickly succeeded in visualizing purgatory and began to refine the attributes of his original mental power.

However, his refining speed was quite slow, so in the end Rorschach simply gave him a hand, using his own power of purgatory to speed up the refining.

When they were at the same level, Rorschach's infernal power was greater than that of several servants, not to mention that he was now much stronger than Chevara.

With his guidance and help, Chevara's mental strength was quickly refined, and because he was in purgatory, his meditation speed was much faster than before!

Although in terms of talent, he is still himself.

But after changing the object of visualization from Blood Hell to Purgatory, it was equivalent to activating a speed-up plug-in on the original talent, allowing his cultivation speed to be dozens of times faster than before!
This was what Rorschach meant when he said that it would allow him to have a smoother journey than most wizard apprentices.

……

"Thank you, my Lord!!"

When Chevara's consciousness returned from purgatory, he had already taken the final step and officially became a mid-level wizard apprentice!
In fact, judging from the change in strength alone, it’s really not that big.

Especially compared to other Blood Hunters in the Magic Martial Domain at this time, becoming a mid-level wizard apprentice cannot bring much immediate change.

But for Chevala, who has been unable to break through the intermediate level, this really feels like a new life!
Luo Xia shook his head and said, "Don't waste time. Let's go and find the next titled Mo Wu. He will be mine, and the people under him will be yours."

"Yes!" Chevara responded with high morale.

……

A blink of an eye.

A month has passed since the Blood Hunter first arrived.

During this month, the entire Demonic Martial Realm has undergone earth-shaking changes, and all order has been rewritten.

Originally, the thing that the magic warriors should have worried about the most was the invasion of monsters, but now they are not worried about monsters at all. Instead, they are afraid that the monsters are not strong enough.

Because they and the monsters had originally been able to coexist reluctantly, everyone lived under the same sky, with only occasional friction.

But since the arrival of the Blood Hunter, everything has changed!

Monsters kill people mostly for reasons such as hunting or stealing territory, so as long as you can avoid them, you don't necessarily have to fight to the death.

But the Blood Hunters are different, the purpose of their coming here is to slaughter everyone in this area as a sacrifice!

Under this premise, the magic warriors would even rather join forces with monsters!
However, they did not realize that, no matter whether they joined forces or not, the Blood Hunters' target had always been all living beings in the Demonic Martial Realm!
Monsters are no exception!

"Grandpa, what should we do now?" Ma Xiaoling, who was dressed in tight clothes and looked a little tired, asked in a low voice.

Ma Chongshan, who was beside her, looked slightly injured.

They are no longer in their homes, because the city they live in had encountered the Blood Hunters more than half a month ago.

No, to be more precise, he encountered a Blood Hunter other than Rorschach.

Because the first Blood Hunter this city encountered was actually Rorschach, but Rorschach did not massacre the city at the beginning.

But other blood hunters were not so polite.

There are four Blood Hunters here, one mid-level wizard apprentice and three beginner wizard apprentices. If they correspond to the Magic and Martial Arts Realm, they are equivalent to one Magic and Martial Arts Grand Master and three Magic and Martial Arts Grand Masters.

Nowadays, most high-level wizard apprentices and some mid-level wizard apprentices no longer hunt in human activity areas because the efficiency is too low.

They had already started to attack the monsters, and more than a dozen high-level wizard apprentices had joined forces to defeat one of the "Ten Kings"!
The 'Ten Kings' that was overthrown was the Demon Rat King, who should be at the bottom of the 'Ten Kings'. More than one titled Demon Warrior had escaped from his hands.

But the reason why it is still one of the "Ten Kings" is mainly because the magic rat army it controls is too lethal to the magic warriors.

Although the other 'Ten Kings' are stronger than the Demon Rat King, if we only consider the threat to the Demon Warriors, it is enough to rank among the top three!

However, its army of demon rats is meaningless to the Blood Hunters.

Hunted by a dozen high-level wizard apprentices, it finally died in regret.

The 'Ten Kings' that the magic warriors had feared for many years had also become Nine Kings.

This hunt is undoubtedly a landmark achievement for the Blood Hunters, as it means they have finally entered the final stage of the Blood Hunt!

The top leaders of the Magic Warriors have already learned about this, but have chosen not to make the information public because it would be a devastating blow to the Magic Warriors' confidence. The situation is already bad enough, and they don't want to add fuel to the fire.

So people like Ma Xiaoling don’t know about this yet.

"We can only escape from here first and see if we can find a remote place to hide first." Ma Chongshan sighed.

Now he has passed on the Taibao Wushu Classics and several other Ma family's inherited martial arts to Ma Xiaoling, and Ma Xiaoling has also been very hardworking. In the past month, she has greatly improved her strength.

Only one step away and you can officially step into the realm of a master of magic and martial arts.

Before the Blood Hunter's arrival, Ma Chongshan would definitely be excited to see her make such progress at her age.

But now, all of this seems to be meaningless.

The grandfather and grandson moved quickly along the corner of the wall in the dark, trying to escape from this hopeless city before dawn.

"careful!"

Ma Chongshan suddenly grabbed his granddaughter and moved aside.

boom! !

The place where they were originally located suddenly appeared as if it had been bombed by something, and a huge hole appeared.

"There are still some fish that slip through the net?"

A surprised voice sounded, and Ma Chongshan recognized the speaker as one of the four Blood Hunters who came to this city.

But fortunately, he is not the strongest one, but just one of the other three.

It must be resolved quickly!

Ma Chongshan planned to fight to the death, because he still had the strength to fight against this one enemy, but if he lured the other three over, he would really not even have the qualifications to fight to the death.

But this time, he obviously miscalculated.

Because soon another voice sounded, "We were all ready to retreat, but we didn't expect there was still a big fish before we left. How about giving this to me?"

Another novice wizard apprentice appeared from another direction.

"Then I'll take that little girl. I just want to experiment with a new technique." The third junior wizard apprentice also appeared.

"Don't waste time. The Demon Rat King is dead. A new round of hunting should begin soon. Let's take care of it quickly and go check out the situation together."

The strongest mid-level wizard apprentice here has also appeared.

Obviously, the four of them were discussing something nearby before, and they accidentally discovered Ma Chongshan and the others.

Ma Chongshan is a master of magic and martial arts after all, so he is a good hunting target for these novice wizard apprentices.

Seeing this scene, Ma Chongshan felt a little desperate, because he realized that he could not change anything with his own strength.

Even if you fight to the death, there is almost no chance of any luck.

The most important thing is that Ma Xiaoling will also have to face death with this old man. How can he not despair...
