Chapter 1318: Cooperation

Is his understanding of the transplantation of bloodlines even better than mine? How is it possible?
Are there other people who are studying the transplantation of bloodlines besides the Thorny Crown? No way. The Thorny Crown has studied that for 1,000 years. Nobody can be more familiar with the subject than it. But how can this man know so much?
He’s probably already been aware of my weakness. He even knows at what time of the day my eyes aren’t usable, which will result in a plunge in my combat ability…
He knows so many things that even the members of the Thorny Crown don’t…
“Don’t look at me with such an expression. Did you think it’s a secret that only you get to know? Transplanting bloodlines is a complicated and dangerous thing. More often than not, it’s a desperate choice.
“It’s not bad for you. Even though you’ve transplanted the crystal monster’s bloodline, you’re only using it as help, and still walking on the path of a mage. But look at this guy here, who has transplanted the bloodline of a lava giant. He cannot possibly advance beyond level 2 of the Heaven Rank.
“You cannot reach level 3 of the Heaven Rank without finding another lava giant whose bloodline is purer and who is in level 3 of the Heaven Rank. Then, you will have to hunt pure-blood lava giants who are at least in level 45 in order for you to advance into level 4 of the Heaven Rank.
“If you’re truly lucky, there’s a slim chance that you may advance into level 5 of the Heaven Rank. But that will be the ceiling. You cannot grow any stronger than that…
“Also, the lava giant you hunted didn’t have a pure bloodline. It carried part of fire element creatures’ bloodlines. So, you can only use 80% of your strength in battles, right?”
Hearing what Lin Yun said, a mage who was at least 2.2 meters tall and wearing a cloak and a black robe shivered. Then, he simply lifted his cloak, which had been enhanced with spells that blocked detection. Nobody could see his appearance without destroying it.
As he lifted his cloak, his face, which was purely red and looked like the cracked stones near a volcano, was revealed. His fire was like burning flames. His eyes were bloodshot too.
The man looked at Lin Yun in shock and fear. Around him, all the other black-robed mages turned around and stared at him. Myers looked at him suspiciously too.
The red-faced mage opened his mouth and spoke in a hoarse voice, as if his vocal cord had been burnt.
“H-how did you know…”
Every person of the Thorny Crown who had transplanted bloodlines of strange creatures had their own weaknesses. However, they never let anyone else know those weaknesses, because if other people knew their weaknesses, those people could easily come up with a dozen solutions to deal with them.
Myers was completely shocked, and so were the others.
It was understandable that this man knew Myers well because they had fought for quite a while. Experts had to reveal something in battles. If the man knew transplantation of bloodlines well, it was possible that he had inferred many things.
However, the mage, who had never attacked or even revealed his face, and who was wearing a special protective robe, had been seen through easily. That was horrifying…
It meant that if a battle were to burst out, those level-1 and level-2 Heaven Rank mages would be easily killed by Lin Yun, who could take advantage of their weaknesses…
The mages who were wearing cloaks took them off one after another, and showed their faces. Few of them looked like pure human beings. Most carried features of strange creatures. Some had green faces that carried scales, and some people barely had a face anymore.
Even the guys who had normal faces carried the features of other creatures on their bodies.
They were often despised because of their appearance, especially the weird-looking ones. They might be regarded as monsters instead of human beings.
That was why they had been hiding their bodies and faces. However, it was obvious that Lin Yun had a profound understanding of the transplantation of bloodlines, so they stopped hiding.
“Sir Merlin, let’s explore this plane together. Whatever we may find, we only want things that will help us. The rest will all be yours, Sir Merlin.
“I hope we can discuss the transplantation of bloodlines when you’re free, Sir Merlin.”
Myers put on a smile, and seemed to have forgotten the clash just now. He resumed his calmness.
Lin Yun sneered inwardly. They only wanted things that would help them? That was ambiguous. Everything here was very valuable, and could be sold for a mountain of purple gold. They could buy anything with such an amount of purple gold.
Therefore, everything here could help them. What a cunning man…
But that was fine. This was just the beginning. Who knew what might happen. With those bloodline transplanters, it would be a lot easier to explore this plane…
“Then, Sir Myers, I hope we will cooperate well here,” Lin Yun said briefly, without mentioning the discussion of the transplantation of bloodlines. Those people wanted to trick him and get all the loot here. That would never happen…
Myers was wearing a smile. The other mages were more or less hopeful too. Since Lin Yun had seen them through, his expertise in transplantation of bloodlines should be at least as good as Myers’…
Lin Yun and Myers struck a partnership after the brief negotiation. Then, they flew back with those black-robed mages. On the other side, Xiuban and Sheldon were still fighting. The longer Xiuban fought, the stronger he became. There was not a wound on his body. However, Sheldon looked quite miserable by comparison. One of his horns had been broken. Smoke was popping up, and blood was gushing out. His recovery ability was no longer keeping up…
If the battle went on, Sheldon probably would be smashed to death, even though he had transplanted a demon’s bloodline…
On the other side, the battle between Sunny and Reina was coming to an end too. Reina had transformed into a human being, and was fighting at ease. Sunny was suppressed, even though her level was higher. She was only able to resist because she could still summon Screaming Ghosts. When she ran out of her mana, she would die.
“Alright, let’s stop. I’ve reached an agreement with Sir Merlin. We will explore this plane as a team.”
Myers’ words were sent to Sheldon’s and Sunny’s ears simultaneously. They saw that Lin Yun was standing next to the man too.
“Xiuban, Reina, stop.”
Myers and Lin Yun gave the orders at the same time. Xiuban looked at Sheldon reluctantly, and flew back with Carnage on his shoulder. Reina, however, simply flew back without looking at Sunny.
Sheldon, who was enshrouded in black smoke, roared and charged at Xiuban again, as if he had lost his mind, only to be smashed away.
