Chapter 306: Chapter 199: Amazing Efficiency! (Combined five into one, 10/10) _1 Chen Mo sat high on the Throne of Dominion, looking down at the beast-man priest. This caused the beast-man priest to feel intense pressure. Before arriving, he had guessed that the Dominator of the Undead, the master of the Land of the Undead, had returned. Now that he saw him in person, he still felt somewhat flustered. After all, the Beast-man Clan’s previous attacks on the Land of the Undead had been extremely fierce. If it hadn’t been for the difficulty of capturing the Undead City, they wouldn’t have been delayed until today. The main issue was that they couldn’t stay in the Land of the Undead for too long. Otherwise, the accumulation of Dark Energy within their bodies would cause them to decay. Therefore, having failed to take the city, they could only retreat and cleanse themselves of the Dark Energy before launching another attack. But this time, before they could regroup for another assault, their home base was plundered first. Having witnessed the divine might Chen Mo had demonstrated in their homeland, he now dared not even look up directly at Chen Mo, fearing he might offend him and provoke him into wreaking havoc on his clan again. He saluted respectfully and said, "I am Cha Kuku, priest of the Beast-man Clan. I have the honor of meeting Your Excellency, the Dominator of the Undead." "At ease. A few days ago, your Beast-man Clan caused trouble in my Land of the Undead. I have already retaliated. Have you come so soon to declare all-out war?" "No, no..." Cha Kuku was so frightened he quickly waved his hands in denial. Even when the death energy in the Land of the Undead was thin, this Dominator of the Undead possessed such terrifying power that he nearly overturned the Beast-man Clan single-handedly. If not for the intervention of the Lord Beast God, the casualties of the Beast-man Clan would likely have been several times greater. Now that the death energy in the Land of the Undead has revived, this Dominator of the Undead would only be stronger than he was before. How could he dare declare war now? "No? Then why are you here?" Chen Mo rested his elbow on the armrest of the throne, propped his cheek on his hand, and asked Cha Kuku with keen interest. "I came to seek peace," Cha Kuku immediately stated his purpose. "Seeking peace? Heh. When you thought you could win, you came to slaughter wantonly. Now that you can’t win, you want to seek peace? What do you take my Land of the Undead for!" Although Chen Mo’s voice wasn’t loud, his tone carried the oppressive pressure of a superior. Hearing this, Cha Kuku’s heart tightened in panic. "Understood. It was our Beast-man Clan that was in the wrong first. That is why I have come with sincerity." "Then let me see this sincerity of yours." Unexpectedly, Cha Kuku actually removed the Blood Curse Talisman from around his neck. He held it up reverently, as if presenting a tribute, and said, "This is the Blood Curse Talisman, a gift from the Blood God. I wish to offer it to Your Excellency." "We undead are an immortal race and have no blood. What use would this be to us?" Chen Mo was very curious about this item but restrained himself. "Your Excellency may not know this, but the holder of this item can go to the Blood God Altar to open the Blood God’s Secret Store. I have heard that a fragment of a powerful artifact of the undead race is hidden within the Blood God’s Secret Store. I am merely relaying what I’ve heard and do not know if it is true. However, if it is, I believe it would be important news for Your Excellency." At this, Chen Mo’s interest was immediately piqued. Could this powerful artifact of the undead race be a fragment of his Profession Exclusive Divine Artifact? He immediately said to Gu Daofu, "Present it." Gu Daofu immediately stepped forward, respectfully took the Blood Curse Talisman, and handed it to Chen Mo. [Blood Curse Talisman]: Dungeon-exclusive item, Beast-man Clan use only. A special talisman containing 100 points of the Blood God’s Divine Power. Holding it grants the Blood God’s blessing, allowing the user to expend their own health to activate Skills. Skills activated in this manner are empowered by the Blood God, significantly increasing their might. However, each activation costs 1 point of maximum life value. Under the protection of the Blood Curse Talisman, you cannot be detected by any unit. When receiving fatal damage, you are granted the Blood God’s Immortality Curse, allowing you to enter an Undying State. This state is maintained by losing 1 point of maximum life value in the first second, with the loss increasing by an additional 1 point of maximum life value each subsequent second! No wonder the Blood God is so generous! So wearing this absorbs maximum life value! Although this item is quite a trap, it’s undeniably powerful. The ability to maintain an Undying State by losing maximum life value at an escalating rate—1 point the first second, 2 points the second, and so on—this method of deduction actually isn’t very fast. Sustaining it for about four minutes would only cost less than thirty thousand health. A top-tier level 20 beast-man has an incredible amount of health, at least several hundred million. This rate of loss would allow an expert to maintain the Undying State for a very long time. But, as the Beast God said, relying on external power like this is clearly overdrawing on one’s own potential. It’s not a proper path at all. Seeing them hand over such an item, Chen Mo remained skeptical. The Beast-man Clan might look brutish and simple-minded, but this act made Chen Mo suspect they were trying to use him as a borrowed knife. Were they trying to incite conflict between him and the Blood God? If both sides suffered heavy losses, it would be a tremendous boon for the Beast-man Clan, eliminating two problems at once. Chen Mo disliked being manipulated, so he called out their ploy directly. "You appear quite sincere. However, I suspect your true intention isn’t just to hand over this talisman. Are you trying to use me as a weapon against the Blood God?" "No!" Realizing their plan was exposed, Cha Kuku quickly waved his hands. "I will not hide it from Your Excellency. We don’t want the Blood God to deal with you; rather, we hope to borrow your strength to eliminate the Blood God!" "Are you joking? The Beast God is already incredibly strong, and the Blood God is likely on par with him. If I were to confront him, it’s not even clear who would eliminate whom!" Having witnessed the Beast God’s strength, Chen Mo had no interest in clashing with some Blood God.
