Chapter 664: Are you here to arrest me, Law Enforcement Knight?
"Increase the chances of catching the Fish King!"
Lin Sai's mind was suddenly flooded with memories of the past, recalling countless fishing experiences. Among them, the only time he had caught the Fish King was during a stormy night in a forest courtyard.
The value of the Fish King far surpassed that of ordinary catches.
And now, this tiny maggot in front of him could increase his chances of catching the Fish King!
"Hmm..."
"I don't usually use bait when fishing, but now I can even catch bait!"
Lin Sai was in high spirits.
Following the principle of utilizing everything available, he removed the Blood-Colored Maggot.
The worm instantly lost its vitality and obediently allowed Lin Sai to turn it into bait, hanging it on his hook.
Plop—
Lin Sai cast his line once more.
This time, luck was on his side. After only a few breaths, he felt a tug on his line.
"It's not surprising that the Fish King wouldn't be so easily caught."
As expected.
The Fish King didn't take the bait, but instead, a crimson box emerged from the water.
Lin Sai held the box in front of him.
The frame of this object was made of white human skeleton, with six thin membranes of flesh filling in as panels.
It appeared as if it had grown entirely from a pool of blood.
There were no visible seams, nor any signs of assembly like a typical box.
Lin Sai used brute force to tear it open, revealing a gem and two lychee-like fruits that had been enlarged to the size of fruits.
[Material: Bloodstone]
[A gem that concentrates the essence of blood, can be used as a material to create other items.]
[A gem emitting a bloody aura, of lower value.]
[Consumable: Blood Fruit]
[A fruit rich in vitality, consuming it directly can rapidly heal injuries, but it contains a certain amount of poison. Overconsumption can affect the body; it can also be used as a material to create other items.]
[A fruit nurtured in the Blood Sea, of lower value.]
Two items.
[Blood Fruit] was straightforward; consuming it could heal injuries but carried a risk of contracting Corrupting Venom.
Its synthesis list had applications in alchemy.
It could be combined with certain drugs to create restorative potions that enhanced healing and removed Corrupting Venom, or the restorative effect could be eliminated to specifically extract the poison, creating a potent toxin.
As for the Bloodstone—
[3 Bloodstones = Blood Pattern]
[1 Bloodstone + 1 Advanced Metal + 1 Special Metal + 1 Life Water = Living Blade]
[3 Bloodstones + Blood Core = Advanced Bloody Essence]
[3 Bloodstones + 1 Special Metal + 1 Mystery Source = Bloodsucking Flying Dagger]
"..."
Lin Sai examined the list further, and the Bloodstone had numerous synthesis projects, two of which caught his interest.
[Blood Pattern] was clearly an item from the Magic Pattern system, and Lin Sai had not yet explored this type of pattern synthesis.
Although this was just the most basic magic pattern.
Even so, Lin Sai, having just become a Law Enforcement Knight, was eager to try it out.
The [Living Blade], a weapon whose name intrigued Lin Sai, an intermediate student at the Forest Capital to be synthesized.
Perhaps this was related to the [Resurrection Sword], one of the components of the [Seven-Colored Radiant Sword].
"Then I'll keep trying, let's catch some more!"
Lin Sai cast his line again, continuing to fish in the Flesh Lake.
More items were caught one after another.
The normal catch in the Flesh Lake was a creature called the [Bloodsucking Fish].
These fish were aggressive and venomous, unsuitable for food.
However, they could be used as throwing darts! When they struck an enemy, they would latch onto the target, sucking their blood while injecting venom!
Every three to five fish or so, Lin Sai would catch another blood box.
Within these, there is a high chance of obtaining a Bloodstone, along with some other distinctively unique equipment.
[Equipment: Piranha Staff]
[The holder can offer Essence to summon a piranha to work for them; the duration lasts until its death or the holder actively cancels the summoning.]
[A staff that can summon piranhas, moderately priced.]
[Accessory: Freshblood Necklace]
[A necklace imbued with potent life force, which, when equipped, passively increases the wearer's wound recovery speed.]
[A necklace with a hint of life force, of low value.]
The bonuses provided by these basic equipment are negligible to Lindsay at this point.
After checking them, he set them aside as reserves.
Later, he could give them to his subordinates or use them during adventures.
Once the number of gems in the Flesh Box was sufficient, Lindsay immediately started combining the interesting items.
[Emblem/Material: Freshblood Runes]
[After equipping, the user becomes unusually sensitive to the scent of blood; when activated, they can control their blood flow for a short time; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[An emblem of blood power, a special item, moderately priced.]
"Of course!"
"Another series of emblems!"
Lindsay slapped his thigh and immediately placed the Freshblood Runes on the workbench for examination.
The subsequent synthesis of this item is not particularly difficult.
The Bloodstone and the Blood Core, crafted into Advanced Blood Essence, are the only requirements for its evolution into the Blood River Emblem.
Apart from this, there is another synthesis formula, but it does not involve combining with other magic runes.
[Freshblood Runes + 2 Monster Fangs = Vampire Fangs]
"..."
"Vampire? Equipment?"
Lindsay pondered this synthesis formula while casting his fishing rod again.
On the workbench, the Living Blade began its synthesis.
[Weapon: Living Blade]
[A weapon imbued with powerful vitality, which, when equipped, significantly enhances the user's physique; as long as this weapon is not completely destroyed, it can absorb vitality and slowly recover; it can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A unique weapon not crafted from metal, moderately priced.]
Lindsay examined the synthesis formula for the Living Blade.
[1 Living Blade + 5 Special Metals + 1 Life Fruit = Resurrection Sword]
"..."
Another lower-tier synthesis for the [Seven-Colored Radiant Sword], this time with a clear path!
Lindsay's heart rejoiced.
With the acquisition of this Living Blade, the harvest was already quite substantial.
Before Lindsay could express his emotions, a sound came from beside him:
"Ahem..."
"Cough, cough, cough..."
It was a clear, raspy cough.
Hearing this near-groan of a cough, Lindsay's urge to fish instantly vanished.
He turned to look, and indeed, the golden-haired girl had awakened.
At this moment, the girl's right elbow propped her up from the ground.
She struggled to stand up, but her overly weak body only allowed her to lift her upper body. Her body was supported by a strong will, so the speed of her consciousness recovery was much faster than imagined.
"..."
The air fell silent.
Lindsay and the golden-haired girl, one tall and one short, one sitting and one lying down.
The nearby underground cave's light dimmed.
By the lake that emanated a bloody scent, their grayish gazes intertwined:
"May I ask, are you the Law Knight who came to capture me?"
