153 Chapter 139: Great Harvest, Glorious-Level Item [2/3]

Unfortunately, the word "near death" caused the figure to lose most of its strength.

"Desert Lord, I sensed the aura of the crystal bottle... you, have you brought it back?!"

Ferguson's trembling voice carried a strong sense of surprise.

Richard shrugged.

"Sir Ferguson, perhaps, you should have asked me about my losses first. If you knew there were Level 18 Mind Eater Demon, dozens of Level 18 Great Demon, Level 19 Templar Dragoon, and enormously robust double-winged angel in the sky above that village."

Ferguson laughed loudly.

"Don't worry. The reward will ultimately be considerable!"

However, Ferguson was too excited. It began to cough violently after laughing a few times. Its face became increasingly pale as if it could pass out at any time.

It made Richard's heart skip a beat. He did not want to fail when he did not receive the mission reward... That would be f*cked up.

Fortunately, Ferguson recovered after taking a few quick breaths.

"Lord Richard, take out the crystal bottle. I need to recover my strength..."

Richard waved his hand. A ball condensed from sand flew out of the water and floated in front of him.

The sand fell the next moment. It revealed the tightly wrapped blood basin.

When Ferguson saw the crystal bottle soaked in the blood basin, its breath immediately quickened.

Richard took out the crystal bottle and slowly handed it over.

His tone was solemn.

"Sir Ferguson, I have fulfilled my promise."

God of Death witnessed the covenant between the two parties. He needed to take back the item, and he must not use it to fill his own pockets.

Ferguson needed to ensure its safety and pay a reward. Whoever violated the covenant would have their soul taken away by the God of Death.

But even if there were no covenant, since he had already promised, he would do it no matter what.

A man's promise was worth a lot. It was the bottom line.

Ferguson sensed that Richard was serious. It was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared.

It looked at Richard deeply with a solemn look.

"Lord Richard, thank you for your help."

It slowly bowed to him and then took the crystal bottle solemnly.

This ordinary scene seemed to have an extra meaning at this moment.

Ferguson picked up the crystal bottle and put it in front of its eyes to observe. The golden liquid slowly flowed and gave people a feeling of a holy spirit.

"Lord Richard, do you know what's inside?"

"The holy dragon's blood. When I took it, the dragon's power inside attracted the attention of demons and angels.

"They even stopped attacking each other and attacked me simultaneously for this treasure..."

Richard's tone was calm. He was like talking about a trivial matter.

Ferguson looked up and stared into his eyes... It was not lying.

It thought that what Richard had said before about being besieged was just rhetoric of wanting to get extra rewards.

But now, it seemed Richard had ultimately escaped from the attack of the demons and angels.

This little guy was not simple.

Moreover, Richard knew this treasure was precious and did not act rashly. Perhaps, it was mainly because of the restrictions of the contract. But even the petty seal at the bottle's mouth had not been opened.

It was clear that the other party had kept his promise and did not have any intention of peeking at this item that could cause demons and angels to fight over it.

It once again looked at the other party with high regard in the heart.

"That's right. It is the holy dragon's blood. We spent an unimaginable price to obtain this supreme treasure.

"And this can turn the tide of the battle of Templar City!"

These words made Richard's eyes widen.

As expected, he had participated in an undercurrent mission.

Now, it was the clash of the eight primary factions!

Angels, dragons, demons, and these top-tier troops were all formed by several small teams...

How much confidence did he need to say those words to turn the tide of the battle of Templar City?

"You have the power of the desert. I originally planned to give you two equivalent skills as rewards, but your sincerity moved me..."

As Ferguson spoke, it slowly opened the cap of the crystal bottle. With a crisp pop, a faint draconic aura spread out.

It carefully poured two drops of golden holy dragon's blood into its palm.

The two drops of golden blood turned into a small water ball that rolled in its hand. There was no sign of it sticking.

When Ferguson closed the cap again, its body emitted a scarlet light.

A drop of golden blood slowly fused into its palm.

The next second, Ferguson's breath was like a giant dragon that had broken free from its shackles and begun to grow wildly.

The terrifying breath pressed down on the mummies behind made them restless.

Richard felt as if a heavy boulder pressed on his chest. He could not breathe.

In a moment, the near-death status on the opponent's status panel turned into a serious injury -- all its attributes were reduced by 50%.

Although it was still far from complete recovery, it had recovered a lot of battle strength and was no longer in the state of a candle in the wind.

When the breath subsided, Ferguson, who had recovered, let out a long sigh.

Then, it slowly stretched out its right hand, and the drop of golden holy dragon's blood burned brightly.

"We cast a powerful curse on the holy dragon's blood. If we don't break the curse and come into contact with it, we'll die immediately...

"Fortunately, you are not greedy. Otherwise, you would have gone to see that great god before death took your soul away.

"I have already broken the curse on this drop of the holy dragon's blood.

"I admire your behavior. This is an additional reward for you."

"When you reach level 15, you can use the holy dragon's blood to activate the bloodline power in your body and strengthen one of your skills to the extreme."
