Xiao Mo was extremely excited to obtain the 【Elf Queen's Bracelet】.
With this item, not only could he carry supplies, but it could also save his life in critical moments.
But how could he make this item recognize him as its master?
As soon as this question surfaced in Xiao Mo's mind, a notification appeared before his eyes.
【Drip a drop of your own essence blood, and you can establish a bloodline connection with the spiritual artifact!】
What?
This was actually a spiritual artifact!
The equipment set dropped by the Dwarf Chieftain was merely top-tier equipment. Although powerful, it was still considered ordinary gear.
Afterward, Xiao Mo carefully examined the ring of crystals embedded on the outside of the bracelet.
Only then did he discover that this ring of diamond-like crystals were all soul crystals.
This made Xiao Mo's jaw drop, and he suddenly had the urge to pry off all these soul crystals.
Damn it, there were more than a dozen soul crystals in this ring!
But Xiao Mo thought about it and restrained himself.
This bracelet was a spatial artifact, possessed a life-saving skill, and was a symbol of the Elf Queen, making it incredibly valuable.
Moreover, the 【Immortal and Demon Reincarnation Pool】 still had a long way to go before it could be upgraded again.
To remove these soul crystals now would be a sheer waste of a King-tier spiritual artifact.
As for the bracelet, could it be bound by simply dripping blood?
This was quite similar to what was written in novels.
With this thought, Xiao Mo directly extended his right index finger and cut his fingertip.
Then, he dripped a drop of blood onto the bracelet.
However, the bracelet showed no reaction at all.
Seeing this, Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, then dripped another drop, but there was still no response.
This repeated several times, but the bracelet remained unresponsive, making Xiao Mo anxious.
Just as he was about to ask, he suddenly remembered the two words from the previous notification: essence blood!
Essence blood!
Not ordinary blood.
Essence blood was the most vital part of the blood, not only containing life force but also a trace of spiritual power.
Essence blood was also known as heart's blood, hence its extreme preciousness.
Even knowing this, Xiao Mo scratched his head, wondering how to obtain essence blood.
As Xiao Mo was completely bewildered, he suddenly felt a sharp pain on his forehead.
Immediately after, a drop of crimson blood, the size of a red bean and emitting a faint golden glow, flew out from his brow.
Then, under the control of an unknown force, this drop of blood slowly floated towards the bracelet.
The next moment, as the blood landed on the bracelet, it emitted a gentle white light.
The light lasted for over ten seconds before gradually fading.
The moment the light completely dispersed.
Xiao Mo could clearly see the space inside the bracelet.
The space didn't seem very large, only twenty cubic meters.
However, for Xiao Mo at this moment, it was already enough.
Yet, the twenty cubic meters of space was completely empty, which made Xiao Mo curl his lips.
The contents inside had likely been pocketed by the Dwarf Chieftain long ago.
He wondered what good things they were.
The Elf race was a great race, and this was the possession of the Elf Queen, so there were bound to be many treasures.
From this moment on, this 【Elf Queen's Bracelet】 belonged to Xiao Mo.
With Xiao Mo's essence blood binding it, the bracelet was naturally imbued with Xiao Mo's aura and spiritual power.
Outsiders would naturally be unable to spy on the contents of the bracelet.
Even if the bracelet were lost, anyone who obtained it again, without the strength to surpass Xiao Mo, could not sever its connection with Xiao Mo.
Unless, one day, Xiao Mo were to suddenly die, his aura and spiritual power would naturally disappear.
Then, the bracelet would once again become ownerless.
However, the possibility of Xiao Mo's demise was truly negligible.
Although many lords wished for Xiao Mo's death, it was merely wishful thinking.
Xiao Mo shook his head, forgetting all these distracting thoughts.
Then, he found a rope and hung the bracelet directly around his neck.
After all, this was a woman's bracelet, and its size was fixed.
Besides, a grown man wearing such a bracelet was somewhat peculiar.
He didn't want to be mistaken for someone who cross-dresses.
Next, Xiao Mo transferred important items from his warehouse, such as immortal-demon stones, soul crystals, and the top-tier equipment set, into the bracelet's spatial storage.
Spatial artifacts were extremely practical; storing or retrieving items was a matter of a thought.
Most importantly, he was about to follow the Immortal-Demon Battle Team into the wilderness.
With this spatial artifact bracelet, storing anything would be incredibly convenient.
Having done all this, Xiao Mo returned to the attic and silently looked at the protective shield above his head.
The familiar radiant spiritual energy, the same dazzling light blue glow.
But unfortunately, this invincible defensive shield would completely disappear in a few more hours.
At that time, it would be the moment when billions of lords would truly face crisis.
...
Evening soon arrived.
The dim yellow sun gradually disappeared.
The dark night sky began to descend upon this world.
However, all the lords, surprisingly, felt no fear of tonight's darkness.
Instead, their hearts were filled with a faint fascination.
This was because tonight's dark sky was different from all previous nights.
It was both an ending and a prelude.
It was the end of the nine days of relative safety during the novice protection period.
And it was the curtain rising for the power that would come after the novice protection period.
After tonight, the night sky would still be the night sky, and though nothing would outwardly change, the meaning would be different for all the lords.
Tonight, they could still enjoy the protection of the shield, and as long as they were within their territory, they would be fearless.
After tonight, the lords would lose the absolute defense of the shield and would have to face the world's myriad crises themselves.
For almost all lords, they would face an exceptionally brutal environment.
After the novice protection period, the true test would officially begin.
Survival of the fittest!
Those who could not adapt to this environment would naturally be eliminated.
...
The 【World Chat Channel】 was as lively as ever.
After all, the remaining time was the only period of peace left.
However, in the chat channel, one could witness the myriad aspects of human nature.
There were those who were fearful, despairing, and uneasy.
Of course, there were also those who were excited.
These excited individuals were lords who possessed high-tier or above troop types.
They had prepared themselves to face the crisis, and naturally, they were ready to embark on the path of inter-species conquest.
Among them, one of the most confident even boasted that he would surpass all other lords.
In the inter-species conquest competition, only he would reach the true peak, looking down upon the billions of living beings on the Primordial Continent.
Although he seemed arrogant and conceited,
He indeed had some capital for his arrogance.
This was because his randomly summoned initial troop type was an incredibly powerful one—the Divine Dragon!
It had to be said, this kid was really lucky.
He had been quietly developing until this final day before emerging, having learned from Xiao Mo's approach of listing over five hundred sets of equipment at once.
The Divine Dragon troop type, while not a unique troop type, was undoubtedly among the very top-tier units!
This was the foundation of his arrogance!
