Chapter 49: Chapter 48: White Flame Earrings

“So?”

“If Cyan Ghost refers to the strong man Chang Feng encountered at the mechanical plant, then that’s me.”

“Good, mission accomplished!”

Silver Princess flashed a refreshing smile, stretched lazily, revealing perfect curves, casually picked up the big bag behind her, and continued, “Did you get anything good? You can trade with me if you did.”

Trade?

Ye Mingqiu instinctively wanted to take out Bloodthirsty Butcher’s notebook from his Storage Space but eventually gave up. The chance to trade comes more than once, using the notebook to trade with her might be too harsh.

This is all the world’s fault.

“Money, perhaps?”

“Sorry, I don’t lack money.”

Silver Princess shrugged but then playfully said, “However, considering the photos earlier, I can sell you something useful at a low price, something handy for finding the Red Hermit.”

[White Flame Earrings]

Tier: Tier One

Quality: Bronze

Type: Accessories

Equipment Effect: Spirit +2, Agility +1

Additional Skill: Energy Perception

Skill Effect: Consume 10 points of Spiritual Energy to initiate wide-range energy perception and detect the energy wave intensities of surrounding targets. The higher the spirit, the clearer the perception.

It’s detection-type equipment!

Ye Mingqiu’s eyes lit up. This is good stuff. Early-stage detection abilities are extremely rare, although later on, Detection Skill can be learned through Universal Skills, Ye Mingqiu didn’t want to waste his Universal Skill Slots.

Compared to learning detection skills, he prefers combat skills, anything that enhances his power is his favorite. As for detection abilities… leave it to the equipment.

However, the equipment skill is a bit ordinary, it can only perceive energy strength without sensing specific attributes, compared to Detection Skill it’s quite lacking, but since it’s group detection, it’s still acceptable.

After all, it’s early-stage, how powerful can Bronze Level equipment be? Just enhancing basic attributes is already quite good.

“How much is it?”

“One million, no haggling.”

“Deal.”

Ye Mingqiu readily paid, after all, the currency in this world can’t be taken out, using it to buy Bronze Level equipment is a massive profit.

After receiving the White Flame Earrings from Silver Princess, Ye Mingqiu immediately chose to wear them, the increase in 1 point of Agility and 2 points of Spirit felt great, his body felt lighter, and his spirit was more plentiful.

“By the way, since you’re from the Pure Flame Association, you should have a mission related to the Red Hermit, right? Is there any mission to hunt the Red Hermit, I can help you complete it.”

“Why?”

“Because… I love fighting.”

…

One day later, inside an unfinished building

The Blood Spear once again pierced the Red Hermit’s throat, the dead Red Hermit shattered into black fragments scattered all over the place, and these fragments were all over the ground.

“Such a monster.”

Silver Princess mumbled numbly.

Thirty-seven of them, there were thirty-seven Red Hermits within the unfinished building, but in front of the armored man wielding the Blood Spear, they were powerless, just like ordinary people being hunted down by Red Hermits.

Actually, this was unexpected, the Pure Flame Association’s intel indicated only three Red Hermits here, but there turned out to be thirty-seven, perhaps something happened within the Red Hermits leading to their large gathering.

Silver Princess walked within the unfinished building, carefully observing the internal setup and details, then remarked, “Blood Energy reaction is anomalous, there might have been a more advanced Red Hermit here, be careful, its presence hasn’t completely faded away yet, it might not be far.”

“Hmm.”

Ye Mingqiu nodded and asked, “Which direction and how far approximately?”

Could he be planning to chase after it?

Silver Princess’s eyes flickered, and she replied, “Northwest direction, distance unknown, the lowest level is above S-Level, not comparable to these small fries, don’t be careless.”

“Hmm.”

Ye Mingqiu replied.

During the battle, he asked Silver Princess some questions regarding the grading of Red Hermits in this world, ordinary Red Hermits are B-Level, weaker ones are C-Level, extremely weak ones are D-Level, strong Red Hermits are A-Level.

While S-Level Red Hermits are beings with extraordinary strength, their traits include the following.

① Incredibly strong Life Force, even after having their skulls shattered or hearts pierced, they won’t die, they can even recover in a short time.

② Skin color, S-Level Red Hermits’ skin is closer to black than the ordinary Red Hermits’ crimson muscles; their skin appears as if molten magma has solidified, deep brown color emitting a scarlet glow.

③ Blood Energy usage, S-Level Red Hermits can actively utilize Blood Energy to some extent, manifested in various forms, such as constructing weapons for attack, forming energy armors, perhaps energy blasts, or other types, their types are diverse.

S-Level Red Hermits, their strength is in a completely different league than ordinary Red Hermits.

Ye Mingqiu shifted his gaze to the northwest, the Blood Spear pulsated lifelike, a surge of crimson power flowed through Ye Mingqiu’s clenched arm into his body, releasing a refreshing sensation.

[Prompt: The Blood Spear has nourished you with pure life energy, your Life Limit +20]

Life: 904

With the increase in Life Limit, Ye Mingqiu’s power has strengthened somewhat, even though ordinary Red Hermits contain little Boiling Blood and Blood Energies, after the Blood Spear’s refinement, some attributes can still be enhanced.

Furthermore, the upper and lower limits of the Blood Spear’s attack power increased by 2 points, its prowess grew stronger.

Despite the Spirit Realm’s description stating that the Blood Spear can only be enhanced through Blood Crystals to strengthen its attributes, reality is different. Perhaps it’s because Red Hermits in this world possess Bloodline Energy, Boiling Blood and Source Blood are subordinate to Blood Crystals, allowing the Blood Spear to absorb their energies to augment itself.

Within the unfinished building, cold winds blew, Ye Mingqiu, utilizing his Spirit score up to 20 points, used the White Flame Earrings to detect, and his perception of the world transformed.

He felt like he had opened a second pair of eyes, able to witness the energy’s realm, the traces of crimson energy vividly visible in the second view, and he followed Silver Princess’s guidance northwest and spotted the nearby Blood Energy concentration.

That energy is vast, far beyond ordinary Red Hermits, but Ye Mingqiu didn’t retreat, instead, he had a look of keen interest.

He asked, “Hey, Silver Princess, if I can kill an S-Level Red Hermit, would you be my referral to join the Pure Flame Association?”

“Of course.”

Silver Princess gave a definite answer.

Through this journey of combat, she gradually got to know this man, this guy is a battle fanatic, craving combat, high-intensity combat, fighting with ordinary Red Hermits can’t satisfy his desire, he’s often asked about tasks involving S-Level Red Hermits.

This guy… he genuinely lives solely for combat, joining the Pure Flame Association likely means obtaining intel on Red Hermits to continuously engage in intense battles, right?
