"Shortcut to the top of the mountain?"

Mu You was overjoyed. Now, he no longer had to climb several thousand meters from the foot of the foggy mountain. He had to pass through the dangerous foggy area on the way. It was dangerous and slow to enter the tomb directly.

Shortcuts are much more convenient.

Mu You chose OK. This must be done first to check the situation.

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

[You climb all the way up the stone chimney. You are climbing. You are expected to arrive in ten minutes...]

The one-thousand-meter-high pipe seemed to be quite strenuous to climb, so Mu You waited patiently for ten minutes.

[After a difficult climb, you finally come to the chimney exit!]

[You crawl out from the exit and appear on a piece of snow. What appears in front of you is a world covered by ice and snow. The white snowy mountain tops are connected in the distance. You can't see clearly. The strong wind is whistling with ice and frost.

The intense low temperature sweeps over you instantly, causing you to enter a state of severe hypothermia. Your health will drop at a rate of 5 per second...]

"Damn, is it so scary?"

Mu You's eyelids twitched when he saw it, and he hurriedly pressed the pocket watch.

It seems that this top of the mountain is not something that can be climbed casually. You must at least prepare the means to protect yourself from the cold. Otherwise, you will be frozen to death in less than 20 seconds after going out. It is really outrageous.

We can only put this aside until we prepare the tools to prevent the cold.

[Time passes and you return to the chimney.]

[After seeing the extreme environment on the top of the misty mountain, you know that there is no hope of exploration now, so you return to the secret room...]

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

Muyou controls the character to leave the secret room and prepare to leave through the teleportation array.

However, due to the rush to come up just now, the six corridors below were all hurriedly passed by.

Considering the chimney passage that was just searched in the secret room, in order to avoid missing any treasures, Mu You carefully searched the entire tomb before leaving.

——In the end, he actually found something!

[You return to the main hall at the bottom of the tomb, and when you are about to leave, you suddenly feel a faint shouting sound in your head. This voice is vague and very weak. Your feeling tells you that this seems to be a voice.

A cry for help. Are you looking for the source of the sound?]

Help?

Mu You was stunned for a moment. Aren't all the creatures in the hall torn apart by shadow ghosts? Are there any still alive?

After thinking for a while, Muyou clicked ‘Search for Sources’.

[You followed the sound and searched. After searching all the way, you finally found a pile of rubble at the entrance of one of the corridors. These stones seemed to be fragments of some kind of statue, and the thought of asking for help came from

It came from this stone.]

[You search around the area and collect all the similar stones. From the appearance of these stones, you can vaguely see the prototype of a gargoyle.]

[Gargoyle: This is a magical creature that can convert between life and stone. When it is injured or dies, it will enter a petrified state and quickly repair itself until it is resurrected. The gargoyle has no concept of lifespan because it will last forever.

It will not really die. Even if it is broken into pieces, it can be resurrected immediately as long as it is reassembled into stone.

[You obtained the ‘Gargoyle Remains Rubble’ 17. Do you want to take it out?]

"It turns out to be a gargoyle!"

Mu You suddenly realized. When he got the vampire skin before, the existence of this gargoyle was mentioned in the game description. For many years, he had been helping his master to transport blood and keep his body incorruptible. He was considered loyal.

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

Mu You clicked on the text ‘Gargoyle Remains’.

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

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

However, the size of this gargoyle is much smaller than expected. It is about the same size as a gargoyle. It looks like a miniature version of a Western dragon, especially its head, which looks silly and stupid, coupled with its dark color.

Reminds him of the Night Fury in "How to Train Your Dragon".

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

Mu You immediately took a step back and held the wand in his hand.

He is still not sure what state the gargoyle will be in after it is resurrected. If it is a wild monster, it may launch a direct attack, so it is better to be on guard.

The stone statue trembled more and more violently. Finally, after a burst of turbid air emerged, the entire stone statue suddenly started to move, flapping its wings and flying in the air.

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

After the gargoyle was resurrected, it still seemed a little weak. After flapping its wings a few times, it became weak. It fell back on the table and moved quickly towards Mu You on its two short legs.

Mu You was a little wary at first, but he didn't expect that after the gargoyle approached, not only did it not attack, but it would rub his hand with its head very affectionately.

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

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

Mu You looked at the gargoyle at hand and used the omniscient crystal to check its properties.

"A newly resurrected gargoyle is bound to the vampire's skin as a familiar. After hunting the creature, it absorbs its blood and converts it into one blood in the body. Up to five bloods can exist at the same time. The gargoyle can absorb one blood every day.

The blood energy is sent into the master's body, helping the vampire suppress the curse effect of 'blood thirst', and at the same time adding one year to the master's life."

That’s it!

Mu You's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he said how could such a powerful character like a vampire not even have a basic lifespan task? It turned out that the task was bound to this gargoyle!

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

At this time, the gargoyle seemed to feel the blood-thirsty curse taking place in Mu You's body. It suddenly flapped its wings, landed on his shoulders, 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 flowing through his body, which was very comfortable.

It can only be said that fortunately he did some more research before leaving. This gargoyle was so useful that it directly helped him resolve a curse effect.

However, this gargoyle seems to be only bound to the vampire skin. If he usually changes to the vampire skin, I wonder if it will recognize its owner...

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

As a result, the gargoyle still did not attack him, but just glanced at him suspiciously, as if wondering why the owner's image suddenly changed. However, after confirming that the smell had not changed, it quickly began to rub Mu You's palm affectionately again.

Now Muyou felt completely relieved, opened the backpack space, and put it into the backpack.

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