Chapter 55
Dragon Blood (Revised)
"I didn't bring any anesthetic potion when I left the Tower this ti, but this herb should ease your pain."
Lu Xi stuffed a numbing herb into Olivia's mouth, then picked up a moderately thick branch from beside the campfire.
"Bite down on it. I’ll be quick."
Realizing what was about to happen, Olivia’s face turned pale. As soon as her teeth clenched onto the branch, the herb’s effect rapidly took hold.
Her consciousness gradually blurred, and her body relaxed as if sinking into warm water.
Seeing the mont was right, Lu Xi decisively pressed the scalpel close to the wound.
The cold gleam of the blade swept across Olivia’s snow-white skin, raising a layer of tiny goosebumps.
With a muffled groan, Olivia’s sweat-soaked forehead leaned against Lu Xi’s shoulder, her teeth leaving distinct bite marks on the stick.
Lu Xi’s movents were as swift as promised — with a click, the two displaced ribs were reset one after another.
Uncorking a test tube filled with red liquid, Lu Xi poured most of it onto the wound.
This was the blood from the Degenerated Dragonkin’s First Atrium. Lu Xi had originally planned to save it for potion brewing, but now had no choice but to use it.
Terrifying vitality burst forth at Olivia’s wound, the fine cracks in her ribs and the incision made by the scalpel healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Even the scar left on her abdon completely shed away.
Lu Xi carefully stored away the remaining half vial of dragon blood with so heartache.
But at that mont, she noticed Olivia’s body temperature was rising rapidly.
Lu Xi secretly cursed, "Damn."
Because the Degenerated Dragonkin’s heart contained a diluted dragon bloodline, it was filled with enormous life energy, but at the sa ti, it also harbored terrifying desire.
...
An hourglass of ti later.
Lu Xi finally managed to extricate herself. Realizing what she had done, Olivia curled up into a ball, trying to lt into the shadows of the cave.
"Shh." "Don’t speak. There’s sothing outside."
After a long period of silence, the sound of dry leaves being crushed suddenly ca from outside the cave, followed by the creaking of armor rubbing.
Lu Xi slowly drew out the Gear Staff from her sleeve, and the dark red Molten Steel Torrent quickly took form.
The next second, a longsword-wielding soldier in chainmail charged into the cave.
A burst of ntal Strength Impact instantly knocked the soldier unconscious, causing him to collapse to the ground.
But imdiately after, the sharp whistle of arrows slicing through the air ca rushing in.
Ding~ ding~ ding~ ding~
Sparks flew as the arrows left cracks resembling shattered glass on the Basic Ring of Resistance.
"Principality of Kolo’s Guard Cavalry!"
Olivia’s throat tightened as she stared at the emblem on the fallen soldier’s chest.
Why was Grand Duke Phoenix’s personal army here?
Even more frightening, they were clearly here to take her life!
Could it be that her father… but the princess imdiately denied the thought. Though her father was incompetent, he knew who was shouldering the burdens for the principality.
In that case, the one who mobilized this unit to kill her was obvious.
"Your people?"
Lu Xi asked doubtfully.
Through gritted teeth, Olivia replied, "No, they’re the Duchess’s dogs."
There was no need to hold back then.
Lu Xi’s lips moved slightly, and the witchcraft model for Tier-1 Witchcraft: Ultrasonic Shockwave quickly ford in her sea of consciousness.
Outside the cave, the knight commander was roaring fiercely.
"Loose arrows! The lady’s orders are clear — Princess Olivia has been possessed by an evil god and must not be allowed to endanger the principality. Loose arrows!"
He knew there was a witch beside the princess, but orders from above had already been given. If he did not carry them out, his entire family in the castle would soon end up in the slave market.
But could re arrows trouble a witch?
The answer was no.
Under the protection of the Basic Ring of Resistance, Lu Xi slowly walked out of the cave with the Gear Staff in hand.
Imdiately, the Ultrasonic Shockwave burst from Lu Xi’s lips.
The fan-shaped sound wave swept back the incoming arrows, sending over a dozen crossbown along with the turf beneath their feet flying into the dense forest.
Under the triple assault of magical energy, tearing force, and ntal strength, most of these soldiers whose strength was roughly at a low-tier knight level died on the spot. The few who were slightly stronger were barely hanging onto a sliver of life.
Only the knight commander, who possessed high-tier knight strength, barely managed to remain standing.
But blood was pouring from all seven of his orifices, and his longsword had carved a trench several ters long into the ground.
The princess stepped forward and looked down at the knight commander kneeling on one knee before her.
"Is my reform really so hated?"
Though his eardrums had been completely ruptured, the knight commander still read the princess’s words from her lips.
A helpless smile crept to his lips. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he forced a few words from his throat.
"The... heretics are... coming... run..."
