Chapter 1484: Brave New World (20)

"Secret passage?" Arthur frowned suspiciously, "Fool Bedi, I told you to find a safe way to the top of the tower, not to keep going down." Hurry up, time is running out!"

"Wait. The vampire hunter Zust stopped Arthur, "There's something weird in this basement, it's worth checking it out." ＂

"But saving lives matters"

"It's just a glance, it doesn't take a lot of time. The uncle insisted.

"Hmph, if you delay the time to save people, that little girl will be sucked into a human, and that human life will be counted on your head. Arthur glared at Bediville and Zust viciously.

Still, Arthur wanted to know what was going on with the basement that Bediwell had discovered. He had a bad feeling that the smell of blood coming from the basement was stronger than anywhere else, as if there was a pool of blood hidden inside. Contrary to the feeling of the pool of blood, there was a biting chill in the basement from time to time, floating up the stairs, which was creepy.

In short, it just gives people a very bad premonition.

Without further ado, the three of them ran down the ladder down the basement. Perhaps the architects of the mansion did not consider that the basement would be so easily discovered, as it was not designed to defend against intruders in the first place, and there were no mechanisms along the way. And when Arthur and the others ran to the bottom of the basement for less than half a minute, they finally discovered the true purpose of this basement:

It's a freezer storage room!

And it's not meat that is stored here, it's people, living people!

Hundreds of adult men and women were sealed in one life-support jar after another, to be frozen for preservation. Judging by the blood-colored appearance of these people, they are all humans. Moreover, these life-support jars, which were supposed to be crunchy and crunchy, had long since been activated, and were now half thawed. The cold air that had just spread up the stairs was coming from the thawing process of the jars.

"What are these?" exclaimed Zust when he saw this strange scene. People of their time have probably never seen such a high-tech thing as a cryocompartment, and it will take a long time to understand and digest it.

"I see. Arthur already understood the meaning: "These frozen humans are emergency food for vampires. ＂

"What?"

Before the vampire hunter could complain, the frozen jars had been further activated. The men and women who had been frozen in the jars began to wake up, but as soon as they opened their eyes, they immediately looked at everything around them in horror, as if they knew that they were about to die!

"Break the jar! these people are going to—"

Before Arthur could give the crowd an order, there was a new movement in the jar.

That's right, there is some kind of tube that connects the bodies of those men and women, or more precisely, the great arteries in the necks of those people. And the tubes are kicking in with the activation of the frozen jars! They are draining blood from the human men and women in the jars, and they are pumping it very fast!

"Damn!" Arthur raised his sword and struck at one of the frozen jars! But it didn't work, the shell of the jar was stronger than he had imagined, it was probably enchanted, and the lightsaber bounced off it, leaving only a small gap in the outer wall of the jar!

And Arthur's actions can be described as futile, because the man in the jar has been quickly squeezed dry by the blood-sucking pipe! The man's face is blue, his mouth is foaming, and he has already fallen into a state of ischemic shock! Arthur has not had time to knock down the second sword, and the blood of the man in the jar has been squeezed out of most of it, and the man has "withered" completely, his eyes are deeply sunken, and his skin has extremely deep wrinkles, and the muscles of his body have contracted most of them!

The real "human" was made in a matter of seconds, and it was made in front of Arthur! The cruel scene was almost impossible for the boy to look at!

And the blood of the hundreds of men and women that had been drained was instantly gathered together and transported along a huge pipe in the center of the room to the top of the tower! Needless to say, this blood would be absorbed by Van der Mien and become the most precious tonic before the battle between the True Ancestor of the Blood Clan and Arthur!

"He killed hundreds of people in an instant just to heal himself," Arthur muttered in a low voice.

"That's the nature of vampires. Zust had already gritted his teeth with hatred: "They never put humans in their eyes. In their eyes, we humans are just a skin bag full of blood, their food, and edible livestock. Either way, the battle we face next is going to be tough. Vampires can take the human life force they absorb for themselves. Van der Mien, who has the strength of a hundred people in his body, will be vastly different in strength than the Van der Mien you have encountered before!

"Oh, we'll see. Arthur stared at the blood-pumping pipeline, and his eyes rolled to the idea of something.

"Wow!" Bediwell called into one of the basement walls, figging the hidden mechanism in the corner. The hidden door on the wall opened, revealing a strangely shaped elevator to the public.

"So Van der Mien activated the mechanism from the basement and took the elevator to the top of the tower. That's smart. Arthur snorted.

"What is an elevator?" the vampire hunter clearly didn't know anything like an elevator.

"You'll know when you stand in. Arthur didn't bother to explain and walked straight into the elevator.

After a slightly bumpy ride, the elevator took everyone to the top of the tower.

"Woo-!" Uncle Zust had just climbed out of the elevator, and immediately ran to the side and leaned against the wall to cover his mouth, making a look of nausea!

"Motion sickness?" Arthur shrugged, "Oh no, motion sickness?"

"Woo!" the uncle finally suppressed the urge to gag: "Oh my God, this terrible flying box is simply a torture instrument! Why didn't you react? Have you ever been tortured like this before?"

Arthur and Bedwell looked at each other, not knowing whether it was better to laugh or pity Uncle Zust.

Smack, smack, smack, smack, smack. There was a very rhythmic applause in the distance, and the priority of each applause was almost exactly the same, and it sounded less like a compliment than a mockery and insult.

"Awesome, awesome. The Seventh True Ancestor, Van der Mien, clapped his hands and said without emotion, "I thought you would go through the entire tower full of machines, and then climb up to me with a tired face." I didn't expect you to be so smart as you looked, that you found the secret passage and the elevator. It's amazing. Oh, is that puppy to blame?"

"Whoa—" Bediwell let out a low wolf howl in protest.

"Where's that little girl?" Arthur asked, ignoring Van der Mien's sneer, straight to the point.

"Oh, and you're still worried about your little love?" the vampire smiled mysteriously, "don't worry, the most wonderful dessert is of course reserved for last." I'll knock you to the ground first, and then slowly suck your little lover dry in front of you lying in a pool of blood and unable to move. Then you will be there to appreciate all this, and to die of blood loss, and to lament your weakness!"

Arthur was still not provoked by the other party's agitation, he calmly drew his lightsaber: "Don't talk nonsense, let's fight." ＂

"Hehehehe-hehe-" The Seventh True Ancestor got up from his seat, and the countless pipes that connected to him were broken. The tubes run from the cold room underground, and they are responsible for pumping the blood of more than a hundred human men and women into Van der Mien's body to enhance the vampire's powers.

"Ah, I can feel that you've destroyed part of the container, so the supply of blood has been slightly reduced. True Ancestor looked disapproving: "However, I have already sucked in enough blood. Do you think that little gesture can weaken me? That's naïve!"

"We'll know what the outcome is. Arthur rushed up and wielded his lightsaber as a slash!

"Hah!" Van der Mien dodged deftly, he sucked up enough blood, his strength filled his body, his energy was strong, and his movements were swift! He was several times faster than before, and even Arthur's high-speed sword strikes couldn't keep up with his speed!

"It's too weak, human!—die!" True Ancestor dodged Arthur's barrage of slashes, and immediately swung his claws at the young man's door.

"Not so fast!" the heavy silver whip shot straight at like a viper, it was a slow attack from Uncle Zust!

Van der Mien had no choice but to retreat again, and the chance to hit Arthur was ruined!

And he felt the sound of wind behind him, and instantly turned his head to look, only to see that the big silver wolf had already slashed at him with a long sword in his mouth, and the speed was so fast and ruthless that he could directly cut the vampire in two!

There was no way, Van der Mien could only raise his lower body up, relying on an instantaneous jump to dodge the attack! However, Arthur was already there waiting for the vampire's reaction, and his lightsaber had already swept diagonally above Van der Mien! If the vampire jumped, he would also be cut in two by the Seraph's lightsaber!

With no choice, Van der Mien could only use his old trick to dodge, and he instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist and was about to fly away!!

It's now!!!! With his other hand, he had already grasped the scabbard of the Seraph Sword, the seamless silver blade. He was also concentrating on his grip as he imagined something exploding inside the sword!

Pound!—In a low, muffled sound, [Spellbreaker], activate!
