Chapter 1422: Chapter 1422

The last intact member of the Blood Lotus, seeing his teammates die as soon as they met and his boss being killed right at the beginning, completely lost his composure.

After screaming in horror, he turned and ran. Unfortunately, he greatly underestimated Lin Yucha’s poison.

Magic Gold Deadly Poison, which weakens the enemy’s Poison Resistance over time. So much time had passed, and although the poison wasn’t continuously enveloping him, it was still steadily taking effect. Check latest chapters at 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Just as he turned to flee, he instantly felt something wrong with his body. It seemed beyond his control. The destruction from the poison left him feeling utterly weak.

Lin Yushi did not hold back, and a Thunder Dragon arrow pierced through the man’s chest with red lightning.

Turning to look at the other person left, Lin Yucha didn’t let him go either, casually killing him off.

"This should be one of the upper classes of Blood Lotus, those who could reach the sixth tier are definitely not many," Du You observed the people here, especially the one at the later phase of sixth tier, who must be someone significant within Blood Lotus.

"It should be correct. Since they have discovered us, they might come to encircle us. Now that these five are dead, they will definitely send someone to check. Let’s dispose of their bodies and set up some traps around. It might not be necessarily useful, but if it is, then that’s a gain."

Du You nodded, set up some very powerful traps around, then completely incinerated the bodies of these few people, leaving nothing behind. Afterwards, the three of them moved on.

If they were surrounded by Blood Lotus personnel, Du You was not sure he could remain unscathed. Dealing with indigenous people with single tactics was one thing, dealing with these substandard beings, he wouldn’t be intimidated facing thousands.

But facing these Professionals with special skills, the danger increased with their numbers.

As they moved, Du You asked curiously, "What’s with their skills, how come they are all so similar? Various skills are all related to the blood-colored lotus, I don’t recall any monster using this skill."

Could it be something he hadn’t encountered? After all, most Professional skills are often obtained by killing enemies and acquiring them from their bodies. The acquired skills are usually similar to or exactly opposite to the ones of the defeated enemies. Even if obtained through loot boxes, there’s often a pattern.

In this world, many common Professions like Warriors and Mages, use very similar skills.

If it’s Undead or Demon Magic, Du You wouldn’t find it strange if someone used a similar skill. After all, those creatures were numerous everywhere, and one could always obtain similar skills by killing them.

Even if there are some common environments to condense skills into similar forms, Du You would not find it odd. But what about this Blood Lotus type skill that belongs to the Blood Lotus?

Lin Yushi was also curious, then looked towards her sister, knowing Lin Yucha was the one who liked to research various materials the most.

A master who paid little attention to anything other than herself, and a sister who was clearly smart but did not like to study, it was somewhat helpless for Lin Yucha, but still, she explained.

"The skills of Blood Lotus mainly come from two sources; one is from the world behind Blood Lotus. Although there are no specific records of which world it is, the power that world provided allowed them to develop their unique skills, which are the origin of these similar skills."

"Original source, so there are sources that are not original?"

"Many major forces use this method; they specifically cultivate similar people for this purpose," Lin Yucha nodded. Indeed, this was a very secretive practice, not mainstream endorsed.

"This method is about one person cultivating a skill and then stripping a part of it directly from their body, creating a skill seed. Others can cultivate this skill seed into their own skill, which may not be exactly the same, but very similar. Those Bloodstained Secret Skills of Blood Lotus, they are all passed down this way."

"If so, then it’s possible to establish a large-scale force," Lin Yushi was surprised.

"That’s wrong. Since it’s not advocated, there must be defects," Du You suggested.

Lin Yucha nodded, "Indeed, there are serious defects. Those who strip their power will see their skill level lowered. Although they can cultivate back, their own skills are indeed damaged."

"It’s said that after many strippings, one’s skills would be stuck at a certain level, never able to advance further. For those with talent, this situation is absolutely unacceptable."

"There must be losses that are still within a tolerable range, what about those who receive the skills?"

Lin Yucha continued, "Correct, these skills are not obtained through normal means but are other people’s skills, carrying some of the original owner’s power, which can interfere and pollute one’s own power."

"What would that result in?" Lin Yushi interrupted Lin Yucha.

Lin Yucha said impatiently, "What else would it result in? Constructing skills not belonging to one’s own Profession affects their own advancement, and these skills influenced by another person’s will only obstruct further. While it can train the lower-class en masse, these people will hardly ever advance to higher levels in their lifetime."

That’s probably why Blood Lotus had so many people, but actual experts were always few.

"Truly talented individuals absolutely do not use this method. However, it is said that many talented individuals in Blood Lotus who were not initially recognized didn’t know the problems with this method, and many ended up wasted."

This was a normal occurrence, as talents can’t be tested just by initial ranking.

Not noticing one’s own talent initially, and hence not cultivating properly, meant many were wasted, and Blood Lotus went even further. No wonder the alliance constantly discouraged it, and even he hadn’t heard about it.

Speaking of which, if it weren’t for dealing with Blood Lotus this time, needing to comprehensively understand everything about Blood Lotus, the alliance wouldn’t have sorted out all these materials. If that were the case, even Lin Yucha herself wouldn’t have known.

At that moment, Du You’s expression changed, "A trap was triggered, I wonder how many unlucky ones."

Yes, a trap he set earlier in the distance had been triggered, and he was still within his perceptual range, so Du You had some awareness of his traps. However, he wondered what quality the prey this time would be.
