32: [Bloodthirst]'s amazing effect, new skill [Boiling Blood Heart]

After killing this Advanced Mutant, Bai Xuan slowly exhaled.

After using his skills multiple times, his stamina was significantly depleted.

This made Bai Xuan think of the active skill Bloodthirst.

He pulled out a cola bottle, looking at the pure white Extraordinary Blood inside. Although it was monster blood, the scent was incredibly fragrant.

The sweet floral scent filled his nostrils. Bai Xuan had resisted before, but now he no longer wanted to.

He took a small sip. The sweet and refreshing taste bloomed on his tongue. It was better than all the drinks, all the milk teas, and all the fruit teas Bai Xuan had ever had.

It was even more refreshing than drinking a cold cola after an hour of high-intensity exercise on a hot summer day, drenched in sweat.

The Extraordinary Blood went down, rapidly digested and absorbed by his body. The extraordinary substances within quickly broke down into energy and nutrients. After absorbing these, his body began to rapidly recover its stamina.

“Gulp! Gulp!! Gulp!!!”

Three big gulps of Extraordinary Blood later, his stamina was fully restored. Bai Xuan only felt energetic and refreshed.

“The Bloodthirst skill is truly amazing.”

“Not only does it allow me to quickly locate and track monsters within a thousand meters.”

“It also allows me to recover stamina, heal injuries, and even absorb a large amount of energy and nutrients through the monster's Extraordinary Blood.”

“This not only greatly increases my hunting efficiency but also extends my hunting time.”

“I don't need to worry about stamina depletion. As long as I have Extraordinary Blood, I can use my skills without restraint.”

“I don't need to worry about getting injured. Injuries can be quickly healed with Extraordinary Blood.”

“I don't even need to eat or drink. Extraordinary Blood can provide the body with a large amount of energy, nutrients, and even water.”

“Speaking of which, the Advanced Infected's Extraordinary Blood has a floral scent and a sweet taste. The Advanced Mutant's Extraordinary Blood has a meaty scent. So, what does meaty Extraordinary Blood taste like?”

Bai Xuan gazed at the Advanced Mutant's corpse, watching the pure white blood flowing out. A hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes, and saliva secreted in his mouth.

Above the corpse, a pure white orb of light was also shimmering.

“First, I'll touch the orb, get the loot, and then start collecting the Extraordinary Blood.”

[Obtained Skill: Boiling Blood Heart]

[Skill: Boiling Blood Heart LV1 (0/100)]

[Effect: Passive ability: Heart function increased by 50%. Active ability: Consume 10% stamina to make blood boil, entering a berserk state.]

“Thump!! Thump!!! Thump!!!!”

His heart suddenly pounded, then began to accelerate, beating faster and louder.

His blood also began to flow faster, and a large amount of energy and nutrients surged into his limbs, bones, and internal organs. His body temperature began to rise, and his bodily functions received a certain degree of improvement.

Bai Xuan even had a strange feeling that he could make his heart beat faster. That way, he could enter a berserk state.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards. Bai Xuan smiled, a brilliant smile.

This Boiling Blood Heart looked like a skill similar to Golden Wind Lung, except Golden Wind Lung corresponded to the lungs, while Boiling Blood Heart corresponded to the heart.

Bai Xuan was very clear about how powerful Golden Wind Lung was.

And the strength of Boiling Blood Heart seemed to be on par with Golden Wind Lung.

More importantly, each deep breath could increase the proficiency of Golden Wind Lung, which quickly leveled Golden Wind Lung to max.

The method for gaining proficiency for Boiling Blood Heart was even simpler than Golden Wind Lung.

Each heartbeat could increase the proficiency of Boiling Blood Heart.

This also meant that Boiling Blood Heart could even reach max level faster than Golden Wind Lung.

“With the Boiling Blood Heart skill, I can control my heartbeat to a certain extent. Let me try…”

“Thump! Thump!! Thump!!!”

As his heartbeats began to accelerate, without entering a berserk state, Bai Xuan calculated that he could make his heart beat two hundred and forty times within one minute.

This had already leveled Boiling Blood Heart to LV2.

[Boiling Blood Heart LV1 → LV2]

[The effects of the skill 'Boiling Blood Heart' have been comprehensively enhanced, and the player can choose one of the following three enhancement options:]

[Strong Heart: Heart function increased by 10%]

[Boiling Blood: Blood boiling speed increased by 10%, you can enter a berserk state faster]

[Berserk: Berserk state effect amplification increased by 10%]

With almost no hesitation, just as he did with the upgrade and enhancement of Golden Wind Lung, Bai Xuan unhesitatingly chose Strong Heart.

Strengthening his foundation was the most important thing in Bai Xuan's mind.

“Thump!! Thump!!!”

The strong and powerful heartbeat made Bai Xuan feel the strengthening of his heart.

“Hoo~~”

“So refreshing!”

After sighing, Bai Xuan immediately exited the game.

He poured out all three bottles of cola in the refrigerator that he hadn't finished.

Although it was a bit wasteful.

There was no doubt that Extraordinary Blood was more precious than cola.

After pouring it out and cleaning the bottles, he entered the game world and began to collect blood.

After collecting, he continued hunting.

“Speaking of which, the number of Advanced Infected and Advanced Mutants is really scarce.”

“As for Mid-Level Infected and Mid-Level Mutants, while not numerous, I can always smell a few. However, their Extraordinary Blood is far less fragrant than that of Advanced Infected and Advanced Mutants.”

“But that's not important. The Extraordinary Blood obtained from Advanced Infected and Advanced Mutants is already enough for me to drink.”

“And I have to say, with the Bloodthirst skill and the stamina recovery provided by Extraordinary Blood, this feeling of using skills without restraint is truly great.”

“Heavy Slash, Pierce, Sweep, Penetrating Arrow, Scatter Shot, Arc Arrow—these six active skills are all close to leveling up.”

“Also, my Taiji Sword is almost at max level.”

“As for the Steel Tendons upgrade, I'll put that on hold for now.”

“Skill Points will be prioritized for upgrading Bloodthirst.”

The reason was self-evident: the Bloodthirst skill was simply too useful.

Even though drinking Extraordinary Blood could increase Bloodthirst's proficiency, Bai Xuan still planned to use Skill Points directly to quickly upgrade Bloodthirst to max level.

After all, for his current self, Skill Points were no longer a precious extraordinary resource.

Thus,

[Skill Point - 1]

[Bloodthirst LV1 → LV2]

[The effects of the skill 'Bloodthirst' have been comprehensively enhanced, and the player can choose one of the following three enhancement options:]

[Blood Scent: Your sense of smell for Extraordinary Blood is increased by 10%]

[Blood Drink: The body's absorption rate of Extraordinary Blood is increased by 10%]

[Blood Storage: The body can store Extraordinary Blood and absorb it when needed]
