Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1369: Out of Control? Advancement?


The loyalty being discussed is not the loyalty between teammates, but the absolute loyalty of a servant to their master, under any circumstances not defying orders.

In this regard, the Ghost Team cannot achieve it, after all, they are human, whereas the members of the Dark Moon Team are all Blood Clan. It's not that Stone and the others are disloyal, they would take a bullet for a friend, just as the Ghost Team would, but they will not be blindly loyal, they would not do something that goes against their moral bottom line.

Lin Tian waved his hand, letting them rise: "I have nothing to instruct, your Lord has something to say."

The Dark Moon Team looked at Charlotte again, who took out some glass bottles containing the improved version of the Blood Angel.

"You all don't know, Lin Tian is a Pharmacist, this is the improved Blood Angel he refined, without any side effects," Charlotte announced loudly.

This was another surprising piece of news for the Dark Moon Team; they knew of the existence of "Blood Angel" and also of its side effects.

The Dark Moon Team had never taken "Blood Angel," because taking it would mean self-destruction, and Charlotte couldn't bear to let the core combat group go to their deaths.

"The Dark Moon Team will be the first batch of Blood Clan to take Blood Angel. Ai Wei, you're the captain, take it first." Charlotte ordered without much fuss.

Ai Wei, the captain of the Dark Moon Team, surprised Lin Tian slightly, but upon reconsideration, Ai Wei was indeed the best choice for captain, with no problems in strength or loyalty.

She walked up without hesitation, took a small bottle of Blood Angel, and drank it down with her head raised. Her lack of hesitation wasn't because she absolutely trusted Lin Tian's skills, but because she absolutely obeyed Charlotte's orders.

It wasn't just an unverified "Blood Angel", even if it were a bottle of poison deadly to the Blood Clan, she would drink it down without hesitation, there's no other reason, it is the master's order.

You could say she lacks self-awareness, but that's just how a Dark Moon member is, that's how a member of the Blood Clan is, and that's the biggest difference between a Dark Moon member and a Ghost Team member.

Dark Moon members are more like assassins in the night, while Ghost Team members are warriors on the battlefield, with neither team being better or worse, merely different positions and environments.

After drinking the Blood Angel, Ai Wei was very calm, neither facing death nor nervous, as if she had just drunk a bottle of plain water. Lin Tian didn't know whether to praise her mental strength or commend her absolute loyalty.

Instead, Zhang Lingyu was slightly serious because she also had a part in improving the Blood Angel. If the improvement was ineffective, Ai Wei's end would only be death, and a self-destructive death at that, and with her strength, she could not suppress the Blood Angel's rampage.

No one spoke, the room instantly felt a bit silent, the only sound was the faint sea breeze coming in from outside.

"Roar..."

A great roar like a sudden thunderbolt startled everyone, Ai Wei at this point roared uncontrollably, indicating a tendency towards energy instability inside her.

After the roar, Ai Wei revealed her vampire true form, with silver eyes and sharp vampire fangs, and her originally beautiful face also took on a somewhat cold and terrifying look.

"Ai Wei..." Musa anxiously called out, wanting to rush forward to rescue. She is an Alchemist and couldn't just watch her companion lose control.

Lin Tian, however, flashed in front of her, blocking her path, and shook his head slightly, "Stay calm..."

"But..." Musa interrupted Lin Tian anxiously, after all, it was her first time meeting Lin Tian, and she couldn't yet achieve absolute obedience to him, the kind of obedience ingrained in her very bones, and in her urgency interrupted Lin Tian.

Lin Tian didn't mind and instead said calmly, "You only saw Ai Wei's uncontrollable transformation, but didn't notice that her eyes haven't lost clarity. I've seen a Half Zombie take Blood Angel, their eyes definitely did not look like that."

With Lin Tian's reminder, the others then focused on Ai Wei's eyes, and indeed it was as Lin Tian said. Actually, they couldn't be blamed; Ai Wei's transformation came too suddenly, and it's normal to overlook details in a hurry.

Musa also finally regained her composure, remembering her previous attitude, she promptly bowed and apologized to Lin Tian, "Lord Lin Tian, I was disrespectful just now, please..."

Before she could finish, Lin Tian waved to interrupt her, Charlotte thought Lin Tian was going to punish Musa, and her eyes flickered, but she said nothing.

Lin Tian only calmly said, "No need to say more, you are an Alchemist, observing the changes in Ai Wei after taking Blood Angel, collecting data, should be your top priority, it will help your alchemy skills."

Musa froze for a moment, then came to understand and responded respectfully, "Yes, Lord Lin Tian."

At the same time, in her heart, she was thinking that this new master seemed a bit different, and this approach also caused subtle changes in the hearts of other Blood Clan members.

"Brother Tian, why did Ai Wei suddenly reveal her Blood Clan true form?" Rossi puzzledly asked.

"Your sister just experienced it, and you've already forgotten?" Lin Tian smiled and retorted.

"Brother Tian means... Ai Wei is about to advance?" Rossi exclaimed.

Lin Tian did not answer, but gave him a confirming nod. Upon receiving this confirmation from Lin Tian, all the Blood Clan members looked delighted.

The Blood Clan deeply understood how difficult it was to advance, you couldn't just rely on drinking fresh blood, sometimes it required long-term accumulation, sometimes it required an opportunity, like Ai Wei's current situation, where an opportunity had arrived.

"If I'm not mistaken, Ai Wei's original strength was close to the Elder level, just lacking a catalyst. This time, she should be able to advance to the Elder level," Lin Tian stated calmly.

Though he was calm, the other Blood Clan couldn't stay calm, as an Elder is a positional level within the Blood Clan, but it also represents a certain strength, and reaching the strength of an Elder level is a qualitatively different level.

While other Blood Clan members were still marveling with envy, Ai Wei underwent another change; her back shoulderplate area suddenly bulged, and without any pause, her back clothes were torn with a hiss, and a pair of bat wings burst out.

According to Lin Tian's knowledge, Blood Clan members below the Elder level couldn't sprout bat wings in human form unless they transformed into a Blood-sucking Bat. But Ai Wei had indeed sprouted bat wings, which meant her strength had already advanced to the Elder level!

Lin Tian had once seen a female zombie sprout golden wings, but that female zombie definitely had a higher level of strength than Ai Wei, and her golden wings perhaps represented her evolution to an even higher level.

Yet the Zombie Ancestor is already the highest level of zombies, and Level 1 Red-eyed Zombie is the highest level of zombie Lin Tian knows of. What could be higher than that? Lin Tian didn't know, nor could he imagine; perhaps even the Zombie Ancestor wouldn't know.
