Chapter Ninety-Six: The Earl's Weakness
At this time, the black-brown phosphorus tablets on Wang Zongchao's body had been shattered and burned out, revealing the skin without any blemishes underneath, revealing a warm luster similar to ivory, as full and healthy as a newborn baby.
His face, although it looked much thinner, made his silhouette more rigid and tough, like a piece of pig iron being squeezed and hammered to remove impurities, and all that was left was pure and pure calcined steel.
"You...... Become an immortal?" Zheng Zha was stunned for a while before he asked a very happy sentence.
"Haha...... Welcome back to the team!" Overlord smiled heartily, although he didn't seem to be worried about Wang Zongchao at all before, but now it was him who was the most excited and excited, and patted Wang Zongchao on the shoulder with a big hand, "Do you also have a bloodline without weaknesses?"
"I'm human!" Wang Zongchao smiled indifferently, his eyes at this time were plain and peaceful, not avoiding the rising sun at all, although the sun was dazzling, and the bluestone in the square reflected the sunlight, a crystal dazzling, but it had no effect on him in the slightest, and it was not even enough to make his eyes squint slightly.
"All the body tissues that have been eroded and mutated by the blood of vampires have been killed and forced out of my body by the sun!
Wang Zongchao's next words choked Zheng Zha and coughed, almost protesting against racial discrimination.
"How did you do this?" Zheng Zhe was still puzzled in embarrassment, according to his understanding of the blood clan, after being bitten by a vampire, the blood clan of the human race is like a seed turning into a long sprout and becoming a tree, it is okay to continue to grow into a towering tree or simply die, but it is impossible to turn back into a seed.
"I want to thank you for that...... Well, thanks to that little girl. Wang Zongchao nodded at Zheng Zha, "Sure enough, it is to help others and help yourself, if it wasn't for helping you improve your skills before, and helping the little girl clear the curse and have the experience of dealing with blood energy, it would be really difficult for me to deal with it this time!"
Although Wang Zongchao understated it, only he could understand the danger in these seven days.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been exposed to the blood energy holy power before, if it weren't for the fact that Akado didn't really give him the first embrace and made his body alienated not fast and deep, if it weren't for the iron bones, forged bones and medicinal refining of the body, which was strong and extraordinary enough to resist a lot of damage, if it weren't for the opposing balance of ice and fire internal forces, if it weren't for the second-order gene lock that could control the internal force more subtly, or if it weren't for the ability of the sun and moon pupils...... Without this series of factors, he would have died under the scorching sun at any time.
And even so. He still paid the price......
"Then I'm going to congratulate you on your blessing in disguise...... I can see that your earth skills are much stronger than before!" Zheng Zha smiled. He was genuinely happy for his partner. This also added confidence to the victory over Dracula.
"Because of the refining of blood energy holy power. My skills are a lot stronger. But it's too early to say congratulations...... "When it comes to your own skills." Wang Zongchao's face sank slightly. He knows his own situation. It doesn't seem to be very gratifying.
"What's wrong?" Zheng asked curiously.
"Before, the Earth Medicine Refining Method. It can make people practice poison skills. Internal forces are toxic. The lethality has increased dramatically. But I still haven't practiced poison skills......
It's not because I'm stuck in any decent minds. The point is. Internal forces are toxic. Although the lethality is known for a while. But it will become mixed and impure. It will hinder further internal force training and refinement in the future. Enter the innate path...... And now I'm merging my internal power with the blood energy holy power. It's also the same as cultivating poison skills!" Wang Zongchao said here. Smiled wryly. "Because of the shape shì forced. I also began to thirst for fishing. It's a quick success!"
"You're thinking too far, if we can't solve Dracula this time, it's all empty to talk about 'in the future'!" Overlord patted Wang Zongchao on the shoulder and comforted.
"I never had a long-term vision, I just knew that I was trying to get stronger, and I was really getting stronger. Zheng Zha scratched his head and said.
"You are right, but I set up my own shackles and become sluggish!" Zheng Zha's words without any flowery rhetoric actually shocked Wang Zongchao's heart.
Originally, he had always been brave and advancing in martial arts cultivation, but after coming into contact with a series of advanced martial arts secrets in the main god space, his cultivation became more worried while advancing by leaps and bounds, lest he trigger any cultivation taboos, but instead lost a momentum that a martial arts practitioner should have that is not afraid of heaven and earth.
Many times, if you know too much and think too much, you will form your own mental barriers.
"I don't have to think too much about it at all, now I just need to know that when I see Dracula again, I can surprise him!" Putting aside his worries, Wang Zongchao's eyes flashed, and he began to turn the topic back to the task, "I have been focusing on practicing for the past seven days, and I have not heard about foreign affairs, what new situation has arisen?"
"Yes! In addition to the information from Chu Xuan, Saito has made an important discovery, which is related to Dracula's weakness!" Speaking of the task, Zheng Qi immediately replied.
………………
“…… Dracula wants to use Frankenstein to resurrect his lover Mina, this process requires Chu Xuan's scientific knowledge, and Chu Xuan also specially reminded him that the process of this resurrection experiment is dangerous, and Dracula needs to use his strength to ensure that the experiment can go smoothly.
In other words, Dracula's strength will definitely be consumed in the process of resurrecting Mina, and Chu Xuan will definitely do his best to make this consumption reach the maximum, so the period just after the resurrection test is the best time for us to make a move.
And the exact time when Dracula will resurrect Mina is in the early hours of tonight!"
Many words needed to be said after returning to the private room, and after all the team members gathered again, Zhan Lan began to tell Wang Zongchao about the information they had learned in the past few days.
However, Zhao Yingkong did not appear, she said that she is never used to being noticed by others, the more people there are, the more she will try to avoid them, but when she is needed, she will always appear where she should appear.
"The most unfortunate thing is that we don't have the option to storm Dracula's frozen castle during the day. Zheng Zha's tone was a little regretful.
"There's no way around it, Dracula will definitely choose to resurrect Mina when he's at his strongest, so that his strength can be effectively drained, and it's impossible to do it during the day.
What's more, as far as we know, the entire frozen castle is shrouded in a thick fog that never dissipates all year round, and the sunlight can't shine in at all, so even if the vampire's power is compromised during the day, it doesn't matter much. In contrast, it is still when Dracula's strength is most depleted that it makes the most sense to attack. Zhan Lan continued to explain.
"Last time, with the help of many villagers and soldiers, we had a powerful laser cannon in our hands, as well as Mr. Wang's magic gun 'Lonely', and we still had no power to fight back under Dracula, what advantages do we have over last time?" Zhang Jie was worried.
"A helper with too low a level will only become Dracula's nutrition and ammunition, and as for the laser cannon, it is actually of little use to an undead monster like Dracula.
And we already have a certain understanding of Dracula's methods, and more importantly, we have a possible way to crack Dracula's immortal body, which is about Van Helsing. ”
"In the original movie, Van Helsing killed Dracula after becoming a werewolf, but in that night's battle, my gun was stained with werewolf and Van Helsing's blood, and it was useless to pierce Dracula's heart. Listening to Zhan Lan's words, Wang Zongchao's eyes condensed, and there was a flash of lightning in his eyes, which were already as deep as the waves of the sea, like the lightning of the sea reflecting the sky.
"Van Helsing's or werewolf's blood alone doesn't work against Dracula, but I've found evidence that Van Helsing's changed werewolf can kill Dracula!"
"I, Princess Anna, researched their family's history in the family library, and in addition to discovering the path to the frozen castle, which is still as depicted in the original film, but more importantly, I also discovered one of the most probable ...... of Van Helsing's identity," Saito explained to Wang Zongchao at the beginning.
"I see, I didn't expect that in the original movie, only Van Helsing became a werewolf who killed Dracula, and there was such a twist and turn in the secret...... Fortunately, we have Chu Xuan's previous discovery, coupled with your ability to research historical documents, that we discovered this possibility. After listening to Saitoichi's explanation, Wang Zongchao sighed.
"But in this way, the time when Van Helsing will become a werewolf is the most important thing to grasp, too early or too late. As he spoke, Wang Zongchao looked at Dr. Hua.
"No problem, he's been dormant in a hibernation bed all this time, and his body has been in the same condition as it was six days ago, just in time for tonight's assault. Dr. Hua replied.
"In addition, we still need to try to win Van Helsing's cooperation, after all, it is extremely unlikely that we will kill Dracula inexplicably like in the original movie, so let me go over and have a showdown with him!" After speaking, Wang Zongchao got up and walked towards the depths of the castle.
………………
"What, you say werewolves can kill vampires?" Van Helsing looked at Wang Zongchao suspiciously, if it weren't for the aura of holy power that vampires or ghouls could never have from him, he would almost suspect that the other party was under Dracula's control to say such things.
"The Holy See, which has been battling vampires for nearly two thousand years, has not found anything so ridiculous. Besides, aren't werewolves all his subordinates? not even a strong-willed warrior like Wicken can resist his control!" Van Helsing continued to ask, and when he said this, his angular and rugged face became a little more animalistic manic and hideous, which was not only uneasy about his situation, but also showed that he was rapidly transforming in the direction of werewolves and loss of control due to the influence of wolf venom.
If it weren't for the hibernation bed that had slowed him down the wolfing rate, he would have gotten out of control a few days ago.
"Before I explain, please answer me a few questions. First of all, for four hundred years, whenever the Veloli family was in danger of imminent destruction, the Holy See would send elite Holy Spirit Knights and Battle Priests to assist them in fighting Dracula, why?" Ignoring the other party's agitation, Wang Zongchao leisurely held a teapot in his left hand, although there was no fire, the tea in the teapot was already boiling.
"It is because of the mercy of the Holy See that the believers of the Lord cannot bear to pay the price of not being able to ascend to heaven because of an unworthy son who has become a demon. Although he didn't understand that Wang Zongchao diverted the topic, Van Helsing, as a member of the Holy See, was used to speaking for the Holy See.
"I am afraid that you will not believe in this, but on the contrary, the Inquisition has never been less guilty of a heresy. Besides, no generation in the Wei Luoli family has died well, and I don't see how the Holy See cares, and all the Holy See seems to be interested in is to keep Wei Luoli's bloodline from being completely cut off, why is this?" Wang Zongchao denied him while brewing a full cup of tea for himself, took a sip, and exclaimed: "Biluochun, soaked in holy water, really has a unique flavor. ”
"The Holy See is doing this for our blood!" Princess Anna on the side snorted coldly at Wang Zongchao's deliberate appearance of not being a ghoul or a vampire, and said: "Dracula relied on killing his father and drinking his father's blood, and he had an immortal body in the true sense. But in this way, 'Source Blood' became his only weakness. He can devour the blood and life of any living being, but the blood of his closest relatives is a deadly poison for him!
So, our family's blood is an effective weapon against Dracula! But unfortunately, as the family has passed down from generation to generation, the 'source blood' has become thinner and thinner, and the Holy See has lost interest in us more and more. This time, only Van Helsing came alone, probably it was also a perfunctory!"
