Giant Bear Bloodline
After the meal, Ning Shi was full, but Lena had to restrain herself and only had half a full meal.
For a foodie, it was torture to watch others eat.
Lena’s eyes widened in anger.
“Haha, that’s more like it. You just turned 18, don’t keep pretending to be older.”
After being teased by Ning Shi, Lena was so angry that she started to cry out. Her chest rippled and shook so much that Ning Shi could hardly open his eyes.
After Ning Shi promised two big meals, Lena finally calmed down. “Let’s go. We’ll set off early. The wind-patterned python is in the dark mountain range behind Black Bear Mountain. We need to go through Black Bear Mountain first.”
After locking the black bear in Ning Shi’s residence, the two of them set off.
They traveled at full speed and spent a full two hours before reaching the edge of the dark forest.
“There are a large number of magical beasts living in the dark forest. It’s very dangerous. We can only move around in the periphery of the mountain range,” Lena warned. “You follow behind me. Don’t wander around.”
Ning Shi nodded. Lina was extremely agile. She could walk in the forest without making any sound. Ning Shi could not do this, so he had to be more careful.
After walking for another ten minutes, they entered a bamboo forest. Lena whispered into Ning Shi’s ear, “The bamboo forest is the wind-patterned python’s territory. I’ll go up and fight it later. You shoot at the periphery.”
“The wind-patterned python is a wind-type magical beast. It is good at hiding and is extremely fast. We have to hit it with one hit. Once it senses danger and runs away, it will be difficult to find it again.”
“Our attacks must be swift and fierce. We must not give the wind-patterned python the chance to cast wind magic.”
A warm breath came from his ear. Accompanied by the unique fragrance of Lena’s body, Ning Shi was momentarily intoxicated. It was only when Lena was advancing alone that he came back to his senses. He took out the forest longbow and armor-piercing arrow and concentrated his energy.
Lena walked alone through the bamboo forest. Suddenly, a green python several meters long appeared behind Lena.
The wind-pattern python was extremely fast. Although Lena dodged, her speed was still a little slower than the wind-patterned python. She was about to be strangled by it.
Puff!
Ning Shi shot an arrow into the wind-pattern python’s eye. The arrow was extremely powerful and pierced through the wind-pattern python’s head.
The wind-pattern python hesitated for a moment. Lena seized the opportunity and pulled out a pair of scimitars on her back.
She didn’t retreat, but instead advanced. She brandished the pair of scimitars, and with a few strokes, she left a few bloody wounds on the wind-patterned python’s body.
The wind-patterned python’s vitality was extremely strong. Not only did it not die from the arrow that pierced through its head and stab wounds from the scimitars, but the attacks aroused its ferocity.
Its tail swayed and there was wind flowing around its body. It swam towards Ning Shi at an extremely fast speed.
Ning Shi shot another arrow and another hole appeared on the wind-patterned python’s body. Then, it found a huge tree and climbed up swiftly.
The wind-patterned python became angry and hit the tree trunk. Ning Shi shot out the last armor-piercing arrow. This time, it shot through the wind-patterned python’s other eye from above.
Lena arrived soon after. She was like a butterfly, nimbly moving between the wind-patterned python’s body. Every time the blade went down, there would be a splash of blood.
The wind-patterned python finally felt that something was wrong. It wanted to escape, but it was too late. After its anger dissipated, the wind-patterned python gradually lost its strength. Under the combined attack of Ning Shi and Lena, it died.
Seeing this, Ning Shi didn’t delay any longer. He directly threw the intermediate bloodline potion to Lena.
Lena took the potion. First, she sprinkled half of the potion on the wind-patterned python’s head. Then, she drank the other half.
A mini wind-patterned python’s shadow rose from the wind-patterned python’s body and merged into Lena’s body.
Lena moaned in pain. Her skin turned red and gave off hot air. The blood in her body was boiling.
The feeling of being cooked and torn was like being cut into a thousand pieces. Except for the first moan, Lena did not say a word throughout the whole process.
The whole process lasted for about 10 minutes.
After it was over, Lena took a deep breath. Her whole body seemed to be glowing. Her blonde hair was softer, her dark green eyes were deeper and brighter, and her wheat-colored skin was emitting a jade-like luster.
“Ning Shi, it’s all thanks to you this time!”
Lena was extremely happy. She threw herself into Ning Shi’s arms, raised her head and kissed Ning Shi’s mouth deeply.
It was soft and fragrant, and the friction between their lips and teeth intoxicated Ning Shi. Since they were in the game, he did not have many scruples and hugged Lena’s voluptuous body tightly.
After a long time, the two of them separated.
[Killed wind-patterned python with Lena, experience points +200.]
[First kiss with Lena, character intimacy +5, current character intimacy: 86.]
[Completed mission “Lena’s Ambition”, experience points +500, hunter Level 7 (1200/1800), character intimacy +5, current character intimacy: 91.]
According to the system’s explanation, the character intimacy exceeded 90, reaching a level where love was stronger than gold. If Ning Shi wanted it, he could unlock some strange positions.
The mission this time was quite rewarding. The key was he had obtained the heart of a peerless beauty.
Ning Shi complained about how the system hack kept causing the avatar to flirt with girls online, but in the end, it could not escape the fact that it was indeed appetizing.
“Let’s go back first. The dark forest at night is very dangerous.”
Lena stood up from Ning Shi’s arms, tidied up her clothes and held Ning Shi’s hand very naturally.
Accompanied by the moonlight and holding the beauty, Ning Shi felt happiness from the bottom of his heart.
It was already 11 p.m. when they returned to the village. Lena went to Ning Shi’s residence and took out a bottle of medicine.
“This is a bottle of beginner bloodline potion. I’m very hesitant about giving it to you. And this black bear, I also want it back.”
“You wait for me for a month. I’ll get another bottle of intermediate bloodline potion. At that time, we’ll go to the dark forest together and hunt another magical beast with potential.”
Ning Shi knew what Lena meant. She felt that the potential of the black bear’s bloodline was low. Once Ning Shi used the beginner bloodline potion to fuse with the black bear bloodline, his future development would be restricted.
However, fusing with the black bear bloodline now was the best way for Ning Shi to develop.
Ning Shi could use potential points to fuse with the bloodline. He wasn’t worried about the potential problem at all. Moreover, he could increase his strength now so that he could level up faster.
It would be a waste of time to wait until a month later to become a bloodline warrior.
“It’s okay, Lena. I like the black bear bloodline very much, so I’ll choose it. Besides, you’ll become a famous woman in the future. Even if I’m not strong enough, you can still protect me.”
Hearing Ning Shi’s insistence, Lena respected his idea and gave Ning Shi the beginner bloodline potion.
Then, Lena handed Ning Shi a book, the “Bloodline Warrior’s Holy Book”.
Lena wanted to explain in detail, but Ning Shi said, “It’s too late. You should go back and rest early. Staying up late is the natural enemy of beautiful women. I can study these things myself.”
Lena’s style had always been independent and autonomous She respected Ning Shi’s opinion.
Hearing Ning Shi’s words, she gently kissed Ning Shi’s cheek.
“Then I’ll go back first. Good night!”
“Good night!”
After Lena left, Ning Shi checked the system interface.
[You have received a beginner bloodline potion from Lena. Using the potion, you can fuse with a beginner level or a magical beast bloodline with the potential of three stars or below.]
[You have received a “Bloodline Warrior’s Holy Book” from Lena. Click on it and you will be able to obtain relevant information about bloodline warriors.]
Ning Shi clicked on it and another round of enlightenment followed. All the information about bloodline warriors was input into Ning Shi’s mind.
Bloodline warriors had developed for thousands of years in the Moen Continent. The people here had explored and developed tens of thousands of bloodline transition pathways.
Among the tens of thousands of pathways, only eight paths could achieve ten bloodline transitions and become the supreme bloodline God of War.
They were snake, vine, eagle, tiger, wolf, lion, ape and horn.
The wind-patterned python that Lena chose belonged to the snake path. As for the black bear, its potential was only three stars, and it could only achieve three bloodline transitions at most.
According to the Moen Continent, the black bear path belonged to the three-star path, while Lena’s wind-patterned python belonged to the ten-star path, which was also called the supreme path.
Having a path didn’t mean that one could reach the supreme path. In the past hundreds of years, no one in the Moen Continent had reached the supreme bloodline God of War.
It was mentioned in the holy book, “Every path can reach the end, but humans have yet to discover it.”
Ning Shi agreed with this statement. He no longer hesitated, took out the armor-piercing arrow and shot an arrow through the black bear’s head.
The black bear died very cleanly. Ning Shi took out the beginner bloodline potion, and poured half of it on the black bear and the other half into his mouth.
[You meet the requirements to advance to a bloodline warrior. Do you want to advance directly?]
Ning Shi directly chose “Yes.” A warm current passed through his body. Ning Shi’s muscles bulged and his tendons and veins expanded. After a while, his body returned to its original state.
“Fortunately, I didn’t become a muscular tyrant. My physique is still normal, and my muscles are tight and streamlined.”
Ning Shi heaved a sigh of relief, “I have become a bloodline warrior just like that?”
Thinking about the painful advancement process that Lena went through, Ning Shi smiled. This was the benefit for players. Advancing was straightforward and comfortable, and there was no need to worry about failure.
There was a high probability of failure in advancing to a bloodline warrior. The closer one’s physique was to the limit, the higher the success rate.
[After becoming a bloodline warrior, you will obtain the black bear bloodline. Experience points +1000, physique +5, spiritual power +3, skill points +1, potential points +1. Talent obtained – great strength: strength increased by 50%.]
There was a huge stone table in the courtyard. It weighed more than a thousand pounds. Ning Shi walked over and lifted the stone table as if he was holding a glass of water.
After shaking it twice in his hand, it was effortless to hold something that weighed more than a thousand pounds in his hand.
Seeing the shining light of his bloodline, Ning Shi clicked it curiously.
[Do you want to use one potential point to increase the level of your bloodline? Yes / No.]
He could still do this? Ning Shi was overjoyed.
For the humans of the Moen Continent to advance their bloodline, they had to first develop their current bloodline potential to the limit, then use potions, magical beast essence crystals and other materials. According to the method of the pathway, only then would they be able to achieve the bloodline transition and level up.
The process was extremely complicated.
As for Ning Shi, as long as he used his potential points, he would be able to level up. This was too awesome.
[Bloodline transition to the giant bear bloodline, experience points +5000, physique +5, spiritual power +3. Great strength talent upgraded to giant strength: strength increased by 100%. New talent obtained – regeneration: Recovery from injuries, broken limb regeneration.]
With the bloodline upgrade, Ning Shi’s physique had reached an astonishing 20 points!
According to the game’s settings, 20 points of physique was not twice the limit of an ordinary human, but more than 10 times. Combined with the talent of giant strength, Ning Shi’s strength was extremely terrifying.
There was also the talent of regeneration. As long as he did not die, any damage to his body could be quickly recovered.
Ning Shi suddenly felt that it was not wrong to choose the black bear bloodline. The strength of this bloodline was top-notch, but the path of advancement was unknown.
With potential points in hand, did he still need the guidance of the pathway?
He just needed to make it through.
