Bab 16: Sacred Blood

"I have an idea. Stand guard here, I will find a suitable position around here," Ye Chen said suddenly.
"Okay." Xiao Ai felt a little strange. There were as many as forty or fifty adventurers around the Boss. She couldn't think of any way to do it in this situation.
"Don't walk too close, be careful of others coming to kill you. If the Boss is pulled away, remember to notify me," Ye Chen urged.
The game encouraged competition for the Boss. Within a specific range around all Bosses, killing and PK was completely legal.
For Bosses below Level 30 and within 300 meters around the Boss, as long as one's level was not higher than the Boss, one could attack any adventurer in this range without any penalty. Even if someone had first attacked others and was retaliated against and killed, it did not mean a 100% equipment drop.
Therefore, if the adventurer did not have a certain threshold of strength, he would have to stay far away from a Boss if he were to see one. Otherwise, he could only lament his fate if he was killed.
"Understood." Xiao Ai nodded, and Ye Chen walked towards the surrounding woods.
"There are a lot of stones in the Kobold Forest. I don't know if there are enough stones around. I hope there is enough time."
This was not the first time that Ye Chen had gone into the Kobold Forest. So many years had passed, but the low-level map of the Kobold Forest had not changed much. Today, he entered the Kobold Forest again. On his way to his destination, he was greeted by the familiar sight of grayish-white stones situated in the forest.
If he had planned on killing the Kobold Leader, then he would have to find a stone that was at least two to three meters tall. Otherwise, it was impossible for him and Xiao Ai, who were only Level 20-ish adventurers, to kill a Boss that was 5 levels higher.
"I found it!" After sprinting through a distance of hundreds of meters in the woods, Ye Chen looked at a tall gray stone that appeared in front of him and immediately grew overjoyed.
"It is 2.77 meters. That should suffice!" Just with a glance, Ye Chen could see the giant stone proudly standing amongst thick foliage.
"Fuck! It's that guy, that guy over there! Kill him for me quickly!"
As Ye Chen approached the giant stone, Chu Bailong, who was situated not too far away, watched Ye Chen get closer and closer. He then pointed at Ye Chen and gave a fierce shout to the others hidden in the surroundings.
The several adventurers around all looked at Jack of All Trade, waiting for his orders.
Although Chu Bailong was their employer in name, along their journey there, their impression of Chu Bailong as an employer had hit rock-bottom. Before Jack of All Trade gave an order, they would not make a move.
Jack did not rush to attack but narrowed his round and chubby eyes, studying the Botanist who was looking at the gray stone.
In the game, he had been one of the elites for a long time. His senses were extremely acute, a far cry from Chu Bailong, a newbie who does not understand anything. However, the Botanist who was looking at the gray stone left him with an indescribable expression. He wanted to know what the Botanist was going to do next.
Suddenly, the Botanist's staff moved, and a strange plant, with a color scheme somewhere between yellow and green, suddenly appeared on the top of the gray stone!
Looking at this sudden turn of events, Jack's cunning eyes suddenly froze, and were replaced by boundless horror! Exquisitely accurate Coordinate Transplantation!
When a Botanist used transplantation skills on standard surfaces, he could specify a location at will, and transplant the plant to that location more accurately. But for Coordinates Transplantation, to transplant the plants successfully like what the Botanist did, one must have a precise understanding of the spatial coordinates of the top of the stone. Otherwise, the transplant would fail, the transplantation skills would enter the cooldown state, and even the plants would die as a result!
The margin of difficulty was several magnitudes higher than the Spatial-Type Mage's coordinate attack!
He personally witnessed the plant being transplanted the stone from a distance away. That was to say, this person merely glanced at the stone, yet he already deduced the coordinates of the peak of the stone?
Jack couldn't believe it, but this was indeed what he saw with his own eyes.
Or perhaps… This person may have gone through many attempts over a long time, and the coordinates were long determined by him over his experimentations. It was hard to say for sure.
Jack found a possible conjecture to disprove the anxiety in his heart. Otherwise, this person would be too devilishly skilled!
But what did this Botanist transplant to the top of the stone? Jack carefully examined the yellowish-green plant on top of the stone. It was a species that he had seldom seen, leaving Jack with a feeling of foreignness.
But the dull-yellow ripe durians quickly led Jack to think of a Botanist and his unique-owned plant, the Durian Bomb Tree!
Yes, he was not mistaken, it was indeed a Durian Bomb tree!
For the Durian Bomb Tree, Jack had only seen it a few times from game footage. At this time, the outline of the Durian Bomb Tree gradually grew more distinct in his brain. He could now determine that on the body of the seemingly-puny Botanist, was undoubtedly a Durian Bomb Tree!
How can this be?! The fatty's eyes were full of incredulity.
"What's wrong? Hurry up and attack or he's going to escape!" Chu Bailong loudly urged on the team channel.
"Don't be so impatient. Give me a minute," Jack glanced at the punk and said frigidly. He could not for the life of him understand how this guy could offend a Durian Bomb Tree Botanist. Possessing a Durian Bomb Tree meant that this Botanist's coordinate positioning transplantation was likely the genuine skill!
If this was the case, this person was definitely not a simple character!
"What do you mean? Could it be that you're thinking of going back on your words? Forget it, if you guys don't take action, I'll attack myself!" Chu Bailong furiously raged in the team channel.
"If he dares to initiate an attack, kill him directly," Jack unhappily ordered on the channel, removing all pretense of courtesy. The surrounding bunch of attackers already had a negative opinion on Chu Bailong. When they heard Jack's command, they all surrounded Chu Bailong with a menacing expression.
"YOU! YOU'RE UNBELIEVABLE! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW YOU EXPLAIN YOURSELF TO MY SISTER!" Chu Bailong viciously glared at Jack.
Jack paid no heed to his threats. He had initially intended to flatter the brother of the Crimson Rose to get into her good books, but after some interaction with him, he found out that this guy was just a prodigal son who would never succeed in anything. Given his understanding of Crimson Rose, wanting to explain himself was but a simple matter.
Jack looked at the Botanist again and found that he retrieved a dark red bottle from his backpack, opening the cap, and placed it on the ground.
A cloud of dark red smoke rose from the bottle, and then quickly shot into the air and disappeared without a trace.
"How come this thing gives a sense of familiarity... Could it be that thing…? But how is that possible?"
Looking at the ominous dark red smoke that dissipated, Jack's face was even more surprised.
"THAT WOMAN! KILL THAT WOMAN! YOU MUST DEFINITELY KILL HER!"
At this time, a tiny Priestess came running from a distance, and the moment Chu Bailong saw her, he suddenly hollered and caused a ruckus.
"SHUT UP!" The amiable and face full of smiles that Jack initially adopted took a 180 degree turn. He shot Chu Bailong with a vicious glare. For this kind of person, the more one were to give way to them, the more impudent and ballsy they would become.
"Jack, what's going on with you?" Crimson Rose sent Jack a whisper at this time. It was apparent that Chu Bailong had complained to her.
Crimson Rose felt a little curious. In her impression, although the fatty was frivolous and treacherous, he was very credible and someone who kept his word.
"How many Botanists do you know can Coordinate Transplant?" Jack did not rush to explain, and only asked her this question.
"With a success rate of 30% to 50%, there are two or three," Crimson Rose slightly sighed and replied.
"How about a Botanist who knows the Durian Bomb Tree skill?" the fatty asked again.
"Nonsense, there is only one who showed up publicly in the game, that is to say, there is only one Botanist who knows this skill," Crimson Rose replied angrily. She didn't understand the meaning behind the fatty asking these pointless questions.
"Then, I will say it directly. In front of my eyes, there is a Botanist who can not only Coordinate Transplant, he also knows the Durian Bomb Tree skill. Not only that, but he also seemed to use a bottle of 'Sacred Blood' a while ago!" The fatty sighed heavily.
"WHAT??!!" Crimson Rose suddenly could not help but scream from her current position!
