"Elder, it's not that I want to do this. They've gone too far. They took Xiao Hong away," Su Ming mumbled.
"Them?" The elder was stunned.
"One of them is at the second level of the Blood Solidification Realm, and the other is at the third level." Su Ming put the lid back on the bottle and placed it on the table beside him.
"Black Mountain Tribe? How did you escape? "The elder's eyes flashed. There was a cold glint in his eyes.
"I didn't escape. They're dead." Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the elder.
The elder was stunned, then his expression changed. After a moment of silence, he did not ask about the details. To him, Su Ming was like his own child. He watched him grow up and knew his personality.
"You met them at Black Flame Mountain, right? The news you sent back was very useful to the tribe. We should reward you for it but you hid the fact that you've become a Berserker, so the reward was canceled. "Since you've become a Berserker, then stay. I'll tell you about my experiences as a Berserker. I also want to help you sort out the blood in your veins." The elder looked at Su Ming and smiled.
"Elder …" Su Ming scratched his head. After a moment of hesitation, he said softly, "I was wrong. Aren't you going to ask me how I became a Berserker?"
"Why would I ask? Everyone has their own secrets. I only need to know that my Su Ming has become a Berserker. That's enough!" The elder smiled happily.
Su Ming's eyes were slightly wet. He looked at the elder and nodded his head silently. He would never forget the elder's kindness towards him. He would never forget the Dark Dragon's Saliva that flowed through his veins. He would never forget everything else. All of these things were imprinted in his mind and soul.
"Elder, I have some … medicinal pills …" Su Ming looked at the elder and spoke softly.
"Medicinal pills?" The elder was stunned. Then he shook his head and smiled.
"You're talking about herbs, right? I know you have some unusual herbs but I'm the Elder of Dark Mountain Tribe. Other than some rare herbs, I don't have any … Huh?"
Before the elder could finish speaking, Su Ming had already taken out two small bottles. He opened them and placed them before the elder.
The two small bottles were filled with green medicinal stones and emitted waves of medicinal fragrance. There were more than ten pills inside.
The elder's eyes shone brightly, and his expression instantly turned serious. He picked up the small bottle containing the pills and looked at it closely. It was clearly different from what he knew. He then took a whiff, and his expression immediately changed.
"What a strange medicinal effect. With just a whiff, it seems to make the blood flow in one's body speed up!"
After a while, he closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he opened his eyes once again and looked at Su Ming.
"These are medicinal pills?"
Su Ming nodded his head and pointed at the small bottle. He began explaining how to use it and its effects. The elder sucked in a sharp breath. When he was halfway through, his expression immediately changed.
Without any hesitation, the elder lifted his right hand and swung it forward. Immediately, an illusionary statue of the God of Berserkers appeared before Su Ming. That statue was the statue of the half-human, half-beast Dark Mountain Tribe!
The moment the statue of the God of Berserkers appeared, a gentle force immediately spread out and surrounded the entire room.
"Go on." Su Ming saw the elder's serious expression and his heart pounded against his chest. He slowly told the elder about the effects of the Scattering Dusts.
The elder had already stood up. Once he heard Su Ming's words, he poured out one of the Scattering Dusts and looked at it for a while before swallowing it. He believed that Su Ming would not hesitate. He then took out a small purple bottle and drank the few remaining drops of medicinal liquid in it.
He then sat down once again. Very soon, a large amount of blood-red light shone from his body. The blood-red light was so bright that it covered the entire room. Su Ming took a few steps back, his face filled with respect.
There were many blood veins all over the elder's body. He could not tell how many there were. A Qi that was even stronger than that of the tribe leader of Dark Mountain Tribe filled the entire room.
Su Ming took a deep breath. He looked at the glowing statue of the God of Berserkers in the middle of the room. He had a feeling that if it were not for the statue, the light from the elder's training would have spread throughout the entire tribe. Even if they were far away, they would still be able to see it.
The light came quickly and disappeared just as quickly. After a while, the elder opened his eyes. The red light on his body disappeared without a trace. There was excitement in his eyes. He looked at the Scattering Dusts and took a deep breath.
"Su Ming, you must remember one thing!" The elder lifted his head and looked at Su Ming.
Su Ming's face turned serious as he listened respectfully.
"From today onwards, you cannot tell anyone about this pill. Even if I ask you again, you must not say a word! From today onwards, I will not ask you anything about this!
Even if you are in the tribe, you must remember this. You cannot tell anyone! Not even Lei Chen! "The elder looked at Su Ming meaningfully and said solemnly.
Su Ming hesitated for a moment.
The elder sighed. He understood Su Ming. He knew that Su Ming had a simple personality. That was why he spoke again in a serious tone.
"Su Ming, listen to me. Don't tell anyone!"
Su Ming nodded silently. His eyes were filled with determination.
"It's … not safe in the tribe …" the elder mumbled. His words stunned Su Ming, especially when he remembered how the elder had covered up his Qi in front of the tribe leader and the other two people.
"There's a traitor in our tribe! Only you, me, and the tribe leader know about this. There's no one else. This traitor has hidden himself too well. We don't know who he is …
"Besides, you brought back news that my old enemy in Black Mountain Tribe might have reached a breakthrough … I've been feeling that there's something wrong with the atmosphere around us recently … It's as if a disaster is about to befall us.
"Su Ming, your pills are good. I'll keep them. You don't have to give them to me anymore. If I can really reach a breakthrough, these will be enough. If I can't, no matter how many more you give me, it'll be useless …
"I don't lack herbs, but I've reached a bottleneck. I need luck …" The elder sighed and spoke to Su Ming again. Once he was done, he took out a strange item made of wooden strips. As he looked at the item, a nostalgic look appeared on the elder's face.
After a long while, he handed the item to Su Ming in a treasured manner.
"I obtained this when I was traveling when I was young. It's called a wooden slip. You can only see it in big tribes. The characteristics of many herbs are recorded in it. Take it."
Su Ming took the item. He looked at it curiously and put it away in his bosom. He was about to bid farewell to the elder and return to his lodgings when the elder looked at him.
At that moment, the elder looked at Su Ming. His eyes were bright and his expression was serious.
"Su Ming, I'm happy that you've become a Berserker. But you must know that once you become a Berserker, you'll be different from the others in the tribe. The path of training in the Ways of the Berserker is filled with obstacles. You might die at any moment. You should have felt this when you were in Black Flame Mountain.
"But as a member of the Berserker Tribe, how can we give up just because we're afraid of death?
I know your dream. You want to walk out of this place and see the world outside. I support you on this! "
Su Ming listened quietly and nodded.
"You're a filial child. I've watched you for so many years and I know that. But my power is limited and I can't help you much … But our Su Ming, if he can't become a Berserker, then it's fine. Once he steps onto the path of training in the Ways of the Berserker, I'll do everything in my power to make your path smoother …" A smile gradually appeared on the elder's stern face and he waved at Su Ming.
"Come, sit down cross-legged before me. Circulate the power of your blood according to how you usually train."
Su Ming looked at the elder, whose hair had turned white and whose face was filled with wrinkles, looking at him kindly. Even if he knew that he was not related by blood to the elder, the kinship between him and the elder surpassed everything else.
"Elder …" Su Ming mumbled.
"Hurry up and come over here." The elder laughed.
Su Ming obediently went before the elder and sat down cross-legged. He took a deep breath and slowly circulated the Qi in his body. Six blood veins gradually appeared on his body. As the six blood veins let out a red glow, the shadow of the seventh blood vein could be seen slowly forming on his body.
Su Ming had not been able to manifest the seventh blood vein during the past month. He could not even manifest the shadow. This was largely due to the hidden injuries in his body. But now that his hidden injuries were healed by the elder, when he circulated his Qi, the seventh blood vein naturally manifested.
"You've received the inheritance from the statue of the God of Berserkers. You know that if a Berserker wants to reach the third level of the Blood Solidification Realm, they need 11 blood veins. As for the fourth level, they need 25 blood veins.
"The fifth level requires 53 blood veins, and more after that … When you reach the 11th level of the Blood Solidification Realm, the number of blood veins you need should be 781.
"But what you don't know is that the number of blood veins is not fixed for everyone. Most of the Berserkers are like that, but there are some who can increase the number of blood veins they have. The more blood veins they have, the higher their chances of reaching the Transcendence Realm!
"Based on what I know, all the Berserkers who managed to reach the Transcendence Realm had at least 900 blood veins when they were still in the Blood Solidification Realm! "Take the Elder of Wind Stream Tribe for example. I've known him for many years. I know that he had 917 blood veins in the past!
"I've heard before that in some of the larger medium-sized tribes, or even some of the bigger tribes, there were people who had more than 930 blood veins when they were in the Blood Solidification Realm.
"This is the Berserker Tribe's Blood Solidification Realm … In the history of the Berserker Tribe, there were some people who managed to manifest 999 blood veins when they were in the Blood Solidification Realm. Most of these people became famous.
"There's even a legend that if you can manifest 1,000 blood veins, then it means that you have attained completion in the Blood Solidification Realm. But this kind of completion is extremely rare in the ancient era of the Berserkers. There might even be no Berserkers who have attained completion in the Blood Solidification Realm. As for the details, I don't know much about them." The elder's voice seemed to contain some sort of strange power. As Su Ming circulated the Qi in his body, his voice echoed in his head.
"After the Blood Solidification Realm is the Transcendence Realm. The Transcendence Realm is to gather all your blood veins and turn them into pure Berserker Blood. Then, you can draw your own solidified Berserker Mark on your own body … This Berserker Mark is formed by your thoughts and desires … I'm very excited and curious. If you really reach the Transcendence Realm one day, what kind of Berserker Mark will you draw for yourself …"
