People come and go on the dock.
More than a dozen large ships are moored at the dock, bobbing with the river.
This is Wheel River, one of only two rivers in Tianyuan Town.
It directly connects to the outer city’s moat and extends to the greater rivers far away.
It can be said that Wheel River Dock, along with the other Dock of a Thousand Cups, are the only two waterways of the entire Tianyuan Town.
For any town, its prosperity in trade can sometimes greatly depend on its waterways.
Tianyuan Town is not that dependent on river trade, but the trade volume is certainly not low.
Spring and autumn are the busiest seasons for river commerce.
The seasonal difference between upstream and downstream crops dictates the peak and off-peak seasons of river trade.
Coincidentally, it is now the tail end of spring.
So it can be said that the dock is extremely busy.
As a result, the number of laborers usually tasked with loading and unloading goods has surged.
You could almost say they are not turning anyone away unless you can’t even carry a bag of rice.
The character Fang Yu seems to have worked here before.
Unfortunately, with a constitution that wasn’t up to par, he couldn’t handle more than a few bags before giving out.
Such people are naturally dismissed without pay – that kind of fate.
You also wonder whether you’ve been blacklisted by the supervisors here; otherwise, if today the demon wanted you to do something, it might not be easy to carry out.
Standing on Wheel River Dock, Fang Yu only sees a pile of health bars moving around.
It’s much harder to distinguish them than any sort of find-the-difference game.
Most importantly, he feels something strange in his chest.
It’s as if something is wriggling inside.
The heart, which should have necrotized after the battle with the Ice Sculpture Demon, is beating stronger and stronger.
Fang Yu pulls open his collar and looks down at his chest.
As expected, around the heart, the dark purple frostbite that represented necrosis is gradually regaining color.
Even the thigh, whose blood tissue died due to frostbite, has started to feel a slight itching sensation, as if tiny insects are wriggling and moving inside, enlivening the blood vessels.
"Am I healing from my injuries?"
Fang Yu is somewhat perplexed.
He still remembers that when his head was sewn back on by his second elder sister, he had the same sensation.
The flesh at the broken neck wriggled and fused with the head.
At the time, Fang Yu didn’t feel it until a few days later when he belatedly realized his neck and head had fully recovered, as if they had never been severed.
But that was just that one time. After that, whenever his heart was shattered, it was Yue Guang who helped him mend it.
Could it be... now that I have absorbed Yue Guang’s Demon Bloodline, I actually have this self-repair ability?
Fang Yu thinks carefully, opens his attribute panel, and studies it attentively.
Suddenly, he discovers something.
[Realm: Mid-Stage Flower Realm.]
[Demon Bloodline: Green Demon Blood[Heat Level Early-Stage].]
[Human-Level Skill: Digital Life.]
[Mid-Stage Flower Realm Skill: Solid Foundation Technique[Just Getting Started(4/2000)]+]
[Early-Stage Flower Realm Skill: Element Body Two-Zero Sword[Slightly Accomplished(6/300)]+, Element Body Phantom White Kick[Mid-Stage Flower Level(1/100)+].]
[Attribute Points: 5.]
[Experience Points: 0/100.]
He suddenly remembers that night, the union of his head and neck, and the recovery of his injuries now.
The common point between then and now is that his life value was full at both times.
Thinking back to the fights over the past few days.
After the Black Tiger Gang battle, Yue Guang granted Demon abilities, life value instantly refilled, and then the neck and head fused for recovery.
The Eight-clawed Demon battle, the heart exploded, life value did not refill, and it was Yue Guang who found him and helped him to recover blood and made a new heart out of thin air.
Lastly, last night’s battle, the heart and the right leg suffered blood frostbite and necrosis.
An ordinary person would have died long ago, but his digitized body could slowly regain blood.
The previous loss was about two hundred plus blood; after a night’s sleep, coupled with the time walking to the dock, his blood had just refilled.
Then my chest and right leg began to feel something.
"Exactly! It can’t be wrong! Once I’m fully healed, I’ll start recovering from injuries!"
Fang Yu felt he had grasped the key point.
This should have little to do with the Data Avatar Body; it must be an effect that comes with the Green Demon Blood’s Demon Bloodline.
After all, Fang Yu had seen such an ability’s evolutionary effect on Yue Guang’s body—creating human organs out of thin air!
That was way more powerful than this little healing ability he possessed.
It seems there’s much potential to unlock within the Demon Bloodline.
He’d have to consult with someone from the Research Demon Mansion when he gets the chance.
Once he figured out the key to injury recovery, Fang Yu started experimenting.
The method was simple; he drew the White Spring Sword and slashed across his palm.
Almost saw the bone there.
Too much force, way too much force.
But as the blood suddenly drained, the strange feeling in his chest and right leg stopped immediately.
Then Fang Yu saw the health points above his head go up by 1.
He took out a small strip of cloth to hastily wrap the wound on his palm.
Fang Yu always carried a few of these strips with him.
Now that he’s gaining experience from fights, he carried some useful items with him to bandage any wounds on the go.
After a while, another point of health was regained.
Fang Yu found a secluded corner without people and leaned against the wall.
By now, his health had fully recovered.
Shortly after, his palm, right leg, and chest—three places on his body—began to tingle.
Fang Yu tore off the strip from his palm and saw the wound, which almost revealed bone earlier, slowly healing and scabbing over right before his eyes.
He could feel the flesh in his palm wriggling, mending the cut.
Judging by this rate, the injury would be completely healed in a few minutes, likely without even a scar left behind.
Just as he was contemplating this, someone came up next to him, squatting on the ground, wiping sweat, while nibbling on dried meat.
Fang Yu glanced at him and tensed up.
[Bie Huzi: 1066/1066.]
Thousand Blood Demon!
Wasn’t this the guy who sent me the note yesterday?
Seemingly feeling Fang Yu’s gaze, Bie Huzi looked at him and offered the half-eaten jerky.
Fang Yu shook his head slightly.
"Rat meat, handed out over there."
Rat meat? Is that authentic rat meat you’ve got there?
Fang Yu didn’t continue the thought but looked in the direction Bie Huzi was pointing.
There, Lin Xiaosheng was distributing free dried meat to the laborers at the dock.
Next to Lin Xiaosheng, was Yue Guang, who sent a glance and nodded slightly towards Fang Yu.
[Lin Xiaosheng: 1555/1555.]
[Yue Guang: 1333/1333.]
This Yue Guang, changing every single day!
His health points increased again, and he turned into a Thousand Blood Demon!
Growing so fast, what Blood Bank did he tap into? Take me with you!
Although Yue Guang didn’t say anything, the afternoon had passed, and Fang Yu vaguely felt that something was about to happen.
Yet no one had uttered a word about the plan to him.
"Shen Lan, level up!"
Fang Yu inwardly shouted.
It’s always good to be prepared and enhance one’s strength.
Firstly, it’s... Elemental Phantom White Kick!
