Chapter 816: Chapter 363: Source of Bloodline Experiments_2
David saw that some of them were even swept into the energy storm, instantly turning to ashes.
“This is the fate of those who attempt to control the Source of Bloodline…” David smirked inwardly.
Only when the energy storm gradually subsided did David quietly return to the laboratory.
He found that the array on the altar had completely collapsed, and the human slaves tied to the altar had also lost their lives.
The entire room was in disarray, the air thick with the scent of death.
David walked to the altar, carefully observing the remaining runes and fragments of the array.
He knew that hidden within these fragments were the secrets of the Blood Demons’ attempt to artificially create the Source of Bloodline.
He cautiously collected some fragments, preparing to study them further in the future.
“It seems the Blood Demons’ plan isn’t going as smoothly as they imagined,” David thought, “But for me, this is a golden opportunity.”
David knew he needed to leave quickly to avoid arousing suspicion from the other Blood Demons.
He swiftly adjusted his disguise, ensuring there were no flaws, then quietly left the laboratory.
Back at the camp, David continued to play the role of a low-ranking Blood Demon.
He used this time to gradually gather more information about the Blood Demons’ cultivation system and the rulers’ plan.
At the same time, he began to secretly study the runes and array fragments he brought back from the laboratory.
As time passed, David’s understanding of the Source of Bloodline deepened.
He realized that the Blood Demons were trying to artificially create the Source of Bloodline to enhance their power, but this approach was fraught with risk.
As for himself, he could find a more stable cultivation path by combining the Chaos Bloodline with the Source of Bloodline.
“I need to enhance my strength as quickly as possible,” David thought, “Only then can I survive in this dangerous world and eventually uncover the rulers’ conspiracy.”
In the days that followed, David continued to lurk in the Blood Demon camp, learning their cultivation system while quietly enhancing his own power.
David remained in the camp, outwardly still an ordinary low-ranking Blood Demon, dutifully performing various tasks while secretly gathering intelligence and increasing his strength.
However, just when he thought everything was going according to plan, by chance he encountered an unusual Blood Demon girl.
It was a late night, and David was about to return to his temporary quarters when he suddenly heard a low argument coming from the edge of the camp.
He stopped, alert, hidden in the shadows, creeping closer to the source of the sound.
“How dare you disobey the ruler’s orders! Helping those lowly humans escape? Do you know this is a death sentence!” A High-tier Blood Demon’s voice was cold and furious.
“They… they are also life! Why do we have to torture them like this?” A faint yet firm female voice responded.
Through the darkness, David saw a High-tier Blood Demon in a black cloak grabbing a young Blood Demon girl.
The girl’s hands were bound behind her back, her face showing defiance and stubbornness.
Her eyes revealed a kindness and compassion that were at odds with the surrounding Blood Demons.
“Foolish! Our Blood Demon race’s power comes from their life energy! Your weak thoughts will only lead our race to ruin!” the High-tier Blood Demon shouted.
“But… we clearly can become stronger through other means, why use such cruel methods?”
The girl’s voice trembled slightly, but she persisted in her belief.
David’s heart shook.
He had never thought that in this world full of darkness and violence, there could be a girl with such a good heart.
Her existence seemed to bring a faint light to the darkness.
“Enough! Your actions have already violated the taboo and must be punished!”
The High-tier Blood Demon said coldly, then gestured for several low-ranking Blood Demons to take the girl away.
David knew that if he didn’t act, this girl would likely be executed or become the next sacrifice for an experiment.
He quickly thought it over and decided to take the risk to save her.
He quietly followed those low-ranking Blood Demons, and when they reached a secluded corner, David suddenly struck.
Using the power of the Chaos Bloodline, he instantly released a wave of energy, knocking the low-ranking Blood Demons unconscious.
“Who?!”
The High-tier Blood Demon turned alarmed, but David had already appeared behind him, striking the nape of his neck.
The High-tier Blood Demon didn’t even have time to react before falling to the ground.
Then, he invoked the power of the Source of Bloodline, directly devouring those Blood Demons, turning them into nourishment for the Source of Bloodline.
David quickly untied the girl’s restraints, whispering, “Don’t make a sound, follow me.”
The girl looked at David in surprise, her eyes showing a hint of confusion and gratitude.
She asked no questions, only nodding, following David quickly away from the scene.
David led the girl through the shadows of the camp, avoiding patrolling Blood Demons, finally reaching a hidden cave.
This was a hiding spot he had discovered before, and it was safe enough.
“Why did you save me?”
The girl sat in the cave, asking softly.
David glanced at her, saying faintly, “Because of your kindness. In this world full of darkness, there are too few people like you.”
The girl lowered her head, speaking quietly, “I just feel… we shouldn’t gain power this way. Those humans are also life; they also have families and friends…”
David was silent for a moment, then asked, “What’s your name?”
“I’m Alia.” The girl looked up, her eyes clear and determined.
“Alia, your thoughts are dangerous but also precious,” David said.
“But you must understand, this world is not kind to people like you. If you continue this way, you’ll be discovered sooner or later.”
Alia nodded, a hint of sadness flashing in her eyes, “I know… but I can’t just watch them suffer.”
David looked at her, and suddenly an idea formed in his mind. He asked, “How much do you know about the Blood Demon’s cultivation system and the rulers’ plan?”
Alia hesitated for a moment, then said:
“I know some. My father used to be one of the ruler’s confidants, but he was executed for opposing certain experiments. I’ve been secretly investigating their plans ever since.”
A glimmer of light appeared in David’s eyes: “Would you be willing to work with me? Together we can uncover the rulers’ conspiracy and find a more reasonable way to gain power.”
Alia looked at David, hope gradually igniting in her eyes, “Would you really help me?”
“Yes.” David nodded, “But we must proceed cautiously. Your identity has been exposed, so you can’t return to the camp. I’ll help hide you and continue the investigation.”
Alia nodded gratefully, “Thank you… I don’t even know your name.”
“I’m David.” He smiled slightly, “From now on, we are allies.”
In the days that followed, David hid Alia in the cave, using his disguise ability to provide her with food and water.
Meanwhile, he continued to lurk in the camp, gathering more information about the rulers and the Source of Bloodline.
Alia also kept busy, telling David everything she knew, including the core secrets of the Blood Demon’s cultivation system and the rulers’ detailed plan to artificially create the Source of Bloodline.
“They are attempting to simulate the power of the Source of Bloodline by merging human life force with external energy.”
Alia explained, “But this approach is extremely dangerous, and a slight mistake could lead to backlash. My father discovered this, which is why the rulers had him silenced.”
David nodded, “It seems we must find a way to completely undermine their plan.”
Alia’s eyes flashed with worry, “But that place is heavily guarded, we can’t get close.”
“There will always be a way,” David smiled slightly, “As long as we work together, nothing is impossible.”
