Chapter 676: Vampire (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription)

"Prepare for the Blood Moon Sacrifice!" Before his subordinates could say anything, the vampire leader spoke with difficulty.

"What? My lord! We ......"

"It's an order!" Before his men could say anything against him, the vampire leader interrupted him in a violent manner. The leader then took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, even though the vampire didn't need to breathe, he did it anyway, as he had done as a living man. "I don't want to do that either, but do you know how much our Nightblade family has paid for this plan?"

"In order to obtain information about the token, we sacrificed more than thirty of our compatriots to refine their hearts into blood essence stones, which we used to trade with the hyenas of the Arcane Brotherhood. And also took half of the family's wealth. That's how the mission got to this point, you know! ”

A vampire's heart is the most important organ of a vampire and their greatest weakness, and any vampire who gets their heart destroyed will die instantly. Because there is hidden in it the source of vampire power - true blood, which is also the basis of the vampire's first embrace, which also makes the vampire's heart a very precious magic material.

Vampires don't just need to take a bite to infect a new vampire, in fact, the process of vampires' first embrace is far from so easy, they first have to suck the object of the first embrace dry, yes, suck it dry, not a drop of blood can be left, and then, the vampire has to cut through their own body, and then let the real blood in their hearts be fed to the object of the first embrace.

After that, throw the object of the first embrace into a dark place and let him complete the transformation. To have a new offspring come out for the first time, only a drop of true blood is enough.

After completing the transformation, the person who has been embraced for the first time can transform from an ordinary human to a supernatural life with supernatural powers such as immortality, spell-like abilities, and high-speed regeneration. A drop of blood can make such a big change in the biological form of a life, you can imagine how powerful the power of true blood is.

Many vampires have a huge price to pay for the first time they have an object, and in serious cases, it will even cause a decline in strength. That's why the number of vampires has always been low.

It is precisely because true blood contains such powerful energy that the heart of a vampire is sought after by many mages, (true blood can only be preserved in the heart of a vampire) After the heart of a vampire is processed by alchemy, it will turn into a blood-red crystal, known as the Blood Essence Stone, which is the top magic material of the necromantic system.

Moreover, not all vampire hearts can be refined into blood essence stones, only the hearts of vampires that are more than three hundred years old will contain great power.

Don't look at the fact that vampires can live forever (in fact, they are not immortal, vampires have a very long lifespan, so long that others think they can really live forever), but there are really a few vampires who can live to be three hundred years old. And vampires who live to this age often become the backbone of a vampire family.

This Nightblade family paid thirty bloodsuckers to refine the Blood Essence Stone at one time, and this price was not small. How many such members can a vampire family have? I can tell you responsibly, definitely not much!

Because they have always been street rats, almost every race will not tolerate the existence of vampires, and vampires have a terrifying need for blood in the early days. It takes a year for a newly embraced blood slave to become a real vampire, and for the course of a year, they suck blood every three days.

(Blood Slave, the lowest-level vampire token, does not have any spell-like abilities other than basic abilities such as regeneration, immortality, and vampirism)

And because the blood slave will be affected by the blood thirst factor, after seeing the blood, it will become extremely violent, and often make the crime scene bloody and abnormal, and the victims often die miserably. This also leads to the fact that many blood slaves are easily exposed because the movement is too great.

(The phenomenon of thirst for blood, after the vampire does not suck blood for a long time, will become violent and abnormal, and at the same time, the thirst for blood reaches the extreme, and the vampire in the blood slave stage cannot control this impulse at all)

Many of the terrifying legends of vampires are contributed by this newborn vampire, so these newborn vampires are very easy to find, and the fate of these blood slaves is basically to be killed, after all, blood slaves are still easy to be seen, they have just become vampires, not only are they not strong, but they are not very good at hiding.

At the time of birth, the mortality rate of vampires is scary, not to mention that no one can guarantee that they will be found in a long time, so vampires who can really live to be three hundred years old are really a minority.

"So we can't fail, otherwise not only will the family's plan for a thousand years fail, but at the same time, our efforts will become meaningless!" The vampire leader said excitedly.

"But the Blood Moon Sacrifice ....." that subordinate was obviously very afraid of the so-called Blood Moon Sacrifice, and he was still a little hesitant, he thought that it had not yet reached that point, after all, the human race had not yet come over, and even their first layer of defense had not been broken, according to their estimates, the terrain of the first layer of defense line, coupled with so many low-level undead blocking the road, it would take two or three days for the human race to fight no matter what.

Performing the Blood Moon Sacrifice now is simply taking the lives of family members!

It's no wonder that this vampire hesitated, after all, the Blood Moon Sacrifice is not an ordinary sacrifice, it is a forbidden sacrificial ritual in the vampire population. Vampires can live for a long time, and everyone knows that, so vampires are afraid of death.

In fact, there is no one who will become a vampire who is not afraid of death. Otherwise, they wouldn't have become vampires, after all, the life of vampires is really not good, and once they become vampires, they will have to hide like rats for the rest of their lives, for fear that one will be discovered by someone accidentally. This life of fear for a lifetime is definitely a kind of torture.

People who can survive in the torture and struggle, you can imagine how strong the desire to survive is.

The Blood Moon Sacrifice is completely a ritual of sending people to death, and this ritual is essentially no different from the Blood Refining Ritual, except that the victim is replaced by a vampire, and at the same time, the power obtained is a little greater. Vampires are sacrificed in this ritual for everything, their true blood, their bodies, including their souls!

Yes, vampires have souls, although the moment they become vampires, their souls are destined to belong to the lower planes, either the abyss or hell, but they still become the most miserable soul worms, and they don't even have the opportunity to directly transform into devils or demons. Because this is limited by the rules of the universe, even the Demon Lord or the Devil Grand Duke cannot transform the soul of a vampire. (It is also for this reason that few gods will accept vampires as believers, because it is completely unnecessary and it is impossible for their souls to reach the kingdom of God)

But even so, there is at least one place for the souls of vampires, but if the Blood Moon Sacrifice is performed, then their souls will be completely destroyed! Originally, vampires were afraid of death, not to mention the death of their souls.

"I said, it's a necessary sacrifice! I have to do it! Faced with the hesitation of his subordinates, the vampire leader was very angry and helpless. He can't help it, this mission is too important!

And this dispute also attracted the attention of all the vampires, and they were also very puzzled, why their leader would be so persistent in sacrificing them, although they were the vampires who came to carry out the mission, they were the most loyal members of the family, but after all, it was related to their own life and death, they were still shocked, and even some vampires, their eyes flashed with a strange light.

All said it, vampires are very afraid of death. Between their lives and tasks, they have the answer in their hearts. That subordinate thought the same thing, for the current state of their leader frightened him, and no one could guarantee that he was not the one to be sacrificed! Including himself, he also wondered why their leader was so persistent.

"So you should at least tell us, why on earth is that? What exactly is your mission this time? Is it really just to create a land of death? ”

Before the mission, the family explained to them that it was to turn Ascatra into a land of the dead, and then make it the family's domain! If the negative energy in the seal really erupts, then there is no doubt that this land will be completely turned into a forbidden land of life, and when their family moves here, it will be extremely safe.

After all, no one will come to them for trouble for a land full of negative energy.

But now it seems that this is not the case at all, after all, it costs so much for a safe territory? This is obviously not cost-effective, although their current life is a little aggrieved, but they are not living well? Aren't they guilty of sacrificing such a family member for a piece of territory? Is it just to avoid hiding in Tibet? I've been like this for so many years, and I haven't heard of anyone who can't stand it.

Seeing that the other subordinates also looked at him with twinkling eyes, and the leader gradually fell silent, how could he not know what the others thought? Now he had to give a reasonable explanation, or his men would have rebelled now. In order to survive, vampires can do anything.

"Well, you really need to know why?"

"Yes, I think everyone wants to know why! Even if we have to sacrifice, give us a reason! ”

"Well, I'll give you that reason right now!" The leader's eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying blood-colored light, and at the same time, a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth! At the same time, all the vampires present also emitted the same blood-red glow! In an instant, except for the leader, all the other vampires couldn't move!

"Lord Rhine, what are you going to do?!!!"

"What to do? An explanation for you, of course. However, until then, in order to prevent unnecessary surprises, you need to be controlled for the time being. ”
