  Chapter 118 Gargoyle

   "A shortcut to the top of the mountain?"

Mu You was delighted to see it. With this thing, he no longer needs to climb the mountain from the foot of the Misty Mountain for several kilometers every time, passing through the dangerous foggy area on the way, which is dangerous and slow, and directly enters the tomb to take a shortcut. , much more convenient.

   Mu You chose to be sure, this one must go up to see the situation first.

   But at the same time, he also held his pocket watch to avoid any danger.

  【You are climbing all the way up the stone chimney, you are climbing, and you are expected to arrive in ten minutes...】

  The 1,000-meter-high pipe seems to be quite strenuous to climb, so Mu You waited obediently for ten minutes.

  【After a difficult climb, you finally came to the exit of the chimney! 】

  【You climb out from the exit and appear on a snowy field. Presented in front of your eyes is a world covered by ice and snow. The white snow-capped mountains are connected in the distance, which is unreal. In a state of hypothermia, your health will drop at a rate of 5% per second...]

   "Damn, so scary?"

   Mu You's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly pressed his pocket watch.

   It seems that the top of this mountain is not easy to climb, at least you must prepare the means to prevent the cold, otherwise you will be frozen to death in less than 20 seconds after going out, which is outrageous.

   This can only be put away for now, and we can talk about it later when we have prepared props to protect against the cold.

  【Time passed, you returned to the chimney. 】

  【After seeing the extreme environment on the top of the Misty Mountain, you know that exploration is hopeless now, so you returned to the secret room by the same route...】

   After another ten minutes of waiting, the character returned to the secret room.

  Mu You controls the character to leave the secret room, and prepares to leave through the teleportation array.

  However, due to the rush to go up just now, the six corridors below were all passed by in a hurry.

  Considering the chimney passage found in the secret room just now, in order not to miss any treasures, Mu You searched the entire tomb carefully before leaving.

  —In the end, he really found something!

  【You returned to the great hall at the bottom of the tomb, and when you were about to leave, you suddenly felt a faint cry ringing in your head. The voice is vague and weak, and your senses tell you that it seems to be a voice for help. Are you looking for the source of the sound? 】

   Help?

   Mu You stared blankly, didn't all the creatures in this hall have been torn apart by Shadow Ghost, are there still alive?

   After thinking about it, Mu You clicked on 'Search for the Source'.

  【You searched along the sound, and after searching all the way, you finally found a pile of broken stones at the entrance of one of the corridors. These stones seem to be fragments of some kind of statue, and the idea of ​​asking for help came from this stone. 】

  【You search around and collect all the stones of the same kind. From the appearance of these stones, you can vaguely see the prototype of a gargoyle. 】

  【Gargoyle: This is a magical creature that can switch between life and stone. When it is injured or dies, it will enter a petrified state, quickly repair itself, until it is resurrected. A gargoyle has no concept of lifespan, because it will never really die. Even if it is broken into pieces, it can be resurrected immediately as long as it is reassembled into a stone sculpture.

  【You got the 'Gargoyle Remnant Rubble'*17. Is it taken out? 】

   "It turned out to be a gargoyle!"

  Mu You came to a sudden. When I got the vampire skin before, the game description mentioned the existence of this gargoyle. For many years, it has been dedicated to helping the master to transport blood and maintain the body from corruption, which can be regarded as loyal.

   It seems that this gargoyle was also crushed into stones by the shadow ghost, but I didn't expect that it didn't die...

  Mu You clicked on the text of 'gargoyle wreckage'.

  A pile of remains of stone sculptures appeared on the ground in front of him at any time.

  It was only seventeen yuan, which was not completely broken. Mu You spliced ​​it together a little bit, and quickly assembled it into a complete gargoyle statue on the table.

However, the size of this gargoyle is much smaller than imagined, and its body shape is similar to that of a wretch bird. It looks like a miniature version of a western dragon, especially its head. Reminds him of Night Fury in How to Train Your Dragon.

  As soon as the splicing was completed, there was a faint vibration from the stone sculpture, as if something was struggling to break out of its shell.

  Mu You immediately took a step back, holding the wand in his hand.

  He is still not sure what state the gargoyle will be in when it is resurrected. If it is a wild monster, it might launch an attack directly. It is always right to be on guard.

  The stone statue trembled more and more. Finally, after a burst of turbid air came out, the whole stone statue suddenly moved, flapping its wings and flying in the air.

  Mu You could see clearly, the moment the stone statue moved, the color of its body surface slightly deepened, it was no longer made of stone, but turned into real biological skin.

  After the gargoyle was revived, it seemed that it was still a little weak. After flapping its wings a few times, it lost its strength. It fell back on the table and moved quickly towards Muyou with two short legs.

  Mu You was still a little vigilant at first, but he didn't expect that after the gargoyle approached, instead of attacking, he rubbed his hand with his head very affectionately.

   Mu You was taken aback for a moment, and then he came to his senses.

   Could it be because he is still wearing the skin of a vampire, so the gargoyle regards him as its former master?

   Mu You looked at the gargoyle at hand, and checked its attributes with the Omniscient Crystal.

"A newly revived gargoyle is bound to the vampire's skin as a familiar. After killing a creature, it absorbs its blood and transforms it into a piece of blood in the body. There are up to five pieces of blood in the body at the same time. The gargoyle can use one piece of blood every day. The blood energy is sent into the host's body, helping the vampire to suppress the curse effect of 'Thirst for Blood', and at the same time adding one year to the host's lifespan."

   So it is!

  Mu You's eyes lit up, and he said how could such a powerful character as a vampire not even have basic life-span tasks. It turned out that the tasks were bound to this gargoyle!

   Relying on the gargoyle to pass on a piece of blood to him every day, it can not only suppress his curse, but also increase his lifespan by the way, killing two birds with one stone!

  The gargoyle also seemed to feel the bloodthirsty curse in Mu You's body at this time, and suddenly flapped its wings, flew to land on his shoulder, and sent him a stream of stored blood energy.

  Mu You suddenly felt that the coldness in his body disappeared without a trace, and instead turned into a warm current circulating in his body, which was very comfortable.

   It can only be said that fortunately, he searched more before leaving. This gargoyle is really useful, and it directly helped him resolve a curse effect.

  However, this gargoyle seems to be only bound to the vampire skin. If he usually changes the vampire skin, I don't know if it will recognize the master...

  Thinking of this, Mu You took the gargoyle off his shoulders, put it on the table, gently pressed the wings on its back with his hands, then tried to remove the vampire skin, and observed the gargoyle's reaction.

   As a result, the gargoyle still didn't attack him, but just glanced at him suspiciously, as if wondering why the master's image suddenly changed? But after confirming that the smell hadn't changed, it quickly began to rub Muyou's palm affectionately again.

   Now Mu You was completely relieved, opened the backpack space, and let it fly into the backpack.

   This gargoyle has no attributes such as level and attack power. Like Coke, it is a non-combat domestic familiar. It is a bit dangerous to let it go hunting, so let it be in the backpack.

   On the new mountain range that appeared in the backpack, many small animals survived, enough for them to hunt and replenish their blood.
