225 Chapter 192: Four-Armed Half-Snake Man [1/3]
The gray-colored dwarves controlled a mithril mine...
This news made Richard's heart race.
Was there any hope of repairing the broken extraordinaire hunter?
At this moment, Xina's gaze revealed some pleading.
"Lord Richard, can I follow you into the underground world? Perhaps, I can find a way to break the seal in my body in that mysterious region..."
Richard looked at her unhappily.
"You're already injured. Why would you still want to come with us? Wait until you can get out of bed and walk."
Xina raised her head stubbornly, her gaze unwavering.
"Lord Richard, this might be the most promising one.
"I've heard the gray-colored dwarves control a supreme unique alchemy that can change the blood of lives.
"They extract the blood of ordinary living beings and then infuse it with the blood of powerful living beings to increase their strength.
"As for those who have their blood swapped, no matter what is in their blood, the process will eliminate them."
Exchange blood?
Richard suddenly thought of what the President Jones of the Scarlet Council had done to the Third Princess of the Templar City in the instance dungeon.
He extracted the dragon's blood from the other party's body and infused it with the blood of the cursed holy dragon.
He also obtained the power of a giant dragon and a growth halo from it.
It seemed like a good idea.
However, the operation was much more difficult.
He thought of the key -- could it be that Hina's hero recruitment mission has completed underground?
Richard was willing. He fell into deep thought.
Hina saw some hope and continued.
"Lord Richard, I could recover more than half in two days. It will not affect the troops' operations!"
When Richard looked at that pair of resolute eyes that never showed any fear, she revealed a pitiful pleading look.
Richard slowly and said solemnly.
"On the 14th, the troops will depart on time.
"If you can not recover to a state that I am satisfied with, then you will remain in the territory for this operation."
Xina immediately let out a sigh of relief, and a brilliant smile appeared on her pale face.
"Thank you, Lord!"
Richard looked at the girl in a bad mood and reached out to take out two bottles of Desert Crown Honey.
He opened the lid, put it on the wooden table by the bed, and then brewed a bowl of honey water for her to drink.
When he saw that the girl's breath had improved, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Xina, do you feel uncomfortable drinking the Desert Crown Honey all the time?"
"I heard that most of the recovery items have a certain limit. If you drink too much in a short period, it will cause energy accumulation. And it will reduce the effects..."
It was what a player had mentioned on the [Forum Chat] that Richard heard. The other party's territory had an alchemist who made potions with a drinking limit.
If one drank too much, they might even cause damage.
Xina smiled.
"Lord Richard, only alchemy potions or magic potions have adverse effects.
"Honey is a natural recovery product. There won't be any side effects as long as the body can withstand it..."
She added.
"But I heard from my clansmen that one would gain weight if they drink too much honey."
Richard listened attentively and almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Wasn't this turn of events a little too drastic?
'You are a veteran who has experienced life-and-death battles...? With your figure, do you still need to worry?'
"Take good care of your injuries."
Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he instructed Xina and left the room.
He was still in the mood to worry about these stupid things. It seemed that there was no big problem.
After he left, he went straight to the backyard of the blacksmith shop.
He stared at the 15-meter-tall giant in front of him with a burning gaze.
With a thought, he took out 10,000 units of gemstones.
He stacked them into a small mountain.
[Mechanical Body (Beyond A-rank) -- Strength increased by 500%. Defense increased by 500%. Immune to magic after the body is damaged. It can devour the corresponding materials to repair itself.]
The automatic repair of devouring material was one of Richard's most satisfying skills.
It also allowed him to see the possibility of obtaining a starkly extraordinary battle ability.
His mind power is connected to the control ring on his hand.
In an instant.
The extraordinary hunter's eyes suddenly beamed luminescence.
An indescribable aura gushed out at this moment.
It was powerful and majestic.
It was as if he stood under a mountain.
It made one feel insignificant.
Level 20, transcendent.
No matter where he was, he was already at the upper level of the pyramid.
Under his control, the transcendent extraordinary hunter's body emitted unique energy. It enveloped the gemstones in front of him.
The gemstones were like ice and snow that slowly melted when they collided with flames, melting slowly.
Then, as if they had lost their gravity. They floated into the air and merged into the extraordinary hunter's mechanical body.
Richard could distinctly feel it.
Some of the damaged areas of the extraordinary hunter recovered rapidly.
The body was on the verge of collapse. And it could collapse at any time. But it had recovered to the extent of glued together.
It was still far from complete recovery but has some resilience, the least.
After the mechanical puppet swallowed clean the gemstones on the ground, the system notification suddenly sounded.
[Ding~ The extraordinary hunter has swallowed 10,000 units of gemstones and restored a portion of the body's performance. The current damage level is 75%. Pilotable Battle Time: 30 minutes. It will destroy anything over 30 minutes.]
[Note: High-intensity battles and collisions will shorten the pilotable time.]
When Richard heard the system notification, it suddenly piqued his interest.
It was the first time he had seen such a number.
The damage was as severe as 75%. Richard could not help but exclaim at its durability.
It was no longer broken. It was already a top-grade item.
However, after the repair, the piloting battle time was increased to half an hour. This made him feel much more comfortable.
Richard exchanged ten thousand units of gemstones to obtain an extraordinary battle time of half an hour. Although the price was high-cost, it would be the final kill if they used them well.
