Chapter 17: Dependents
As expected, inside the 'piano' was a withered, whitened corpse.
This corpse attracted the black qi between heaven and earth, and gradually formed a whirlpool, raising the surrounding coldness to a higher level.
Shen Zhao waited quietly, waiting for his first family to come.
Touch~
The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground sounded.
Shen Zhao sensed it slightly, and immediately noticed Lin Shang's escape, and he felt the danger coming.
The merchant has always had the sharpest sense of touch, and from the very beginning of his inheritance of the castle, the legend of the castle has always made him feel uneasy about this place.
It's just the instinct of a businessman that makes him want to sell this place quickly and turn it into an income.
And after the arrival of the black gas, this uneasiness reached its peak, and he couldn't care about his wealth anymore, and following his inner instinct, he began to flee.
The afterglow of the setting sun completely dissipated, and night fell.
Not far from the castle, the ox had already sensed the uneasiness, and its four hooves were restless, only to be kept where they were because they were tied to a rope.
Lin Shang didn't know what he was afraid of, but he just wanted to run away at the moment.
He untied the ox's rope and quickly got into the ox cart to escape, but the moonlight that appeared on his face at some point made him look a little panicked.
Shen Zhao looked at the withered figure in front of him who suddenly opened his eyes, and a faint smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The power of change was revoked, and a greenish-yellow dragonman appeared, and the aura of the new Demon Monarch was released.
The moment the breath touched the withered figure, the figure paused, its upright movement was interrupted, and it fell straight into the coffin again.
The stiff body gradually curled up, as if with a little fear.
Even if the beginner-level vampire had no mind and even had little consciousness, the slight breath of the highest-level black qi creature still made it terrify from the bottom of its heart.
Shen Zhao stretched out a hand, and the ancient and noble demonic words were read, forming a somewhat embarrassing, but inexplicably bloody, words: "With... In the name of the Demon Monarch, grant you submission! β
The moment the spell was uttered by the demon's awkward tone, the trembling vampire stopped trembling, its stiff body gradually calmed down, and a black dragon-shaped mark slowly appeared on its forehead.
This is the mark of the descendants of the Fire Demon and the mark of the current Ninth Monarch.
Kamiaki closed his eyes, he could sense the connection between himself and the vampire, and he could also feel that he could command the vampire without limits, just like he would with a thoughtless ninja soldier.
Thinking of the evil dragon dependents sitting down on the Holy Lord, Shen Zhao didn't feel any surprise, the monarch's rule was already high, and the direct dependents only needed to obey.
"Get up!" Looking at the vampire, who had fallen into complete calm, Kamiaki gave the first order.
The vampire got up instantly, its whole body didn't bend at all, it just stood up straight, and then it didn't move quietly, like a listener... Dolls.
Shen Zhao frowned, vampires shouldn't be unconscious, thought for a moment, and some key information appeared in his mind.
The vampires of this world are different from the legends, they have an extremely fast growth rate, and they only need to absorb the qi in people's bodies, and they can continue to become more perfect.
Shen Zhao vaguely remembered that in the original book, after this vampire absorbed the qi of several people, he became extremely strong, and even gave birth to pupils and consciousness.
"Go, let him be your subordinate." Shen Zhao pointed to the ox cart outside the window, where only a little afterimage remained, and ordered.
The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, the vampire directly levitated and rushed out.
As his first dependent, of course, he can't even be inferior to a ninja soldier, but a powerful vampire can be as intelligent and not afraid of the sun as a human.
A powerful boost is certainly much better than a marionette.
.....
Lin Shang felt that the uneasiness was subsiding, and couldn't help muttering: "Damn, I knew that it would be better to go back to China directly, and I don't want to come to this place again." β
He still felt a little palpitating, as if he was going to the morgue in the middle of the night and suddenly a corpse sat up in front of him.
It made him feel so strange in horror that even though nothing had happened, it was better to flee there.
Thinking that he couldn't help but clench some of the reins in his hand, the speed of the ox cart was not very fast, and there was no light source in the mountains and forests at night except for the still bright moonlight.
He couldn't let the cow run fast, after all, this was on the mountain road, and there was a cliff on one side of the mountain road a few meters wide, and if it fell, then the ambulance didn't have to fight, so contact the crematorium directly.
"Hey, what's wrong with you? Slow down! β
Lin Shang frowned suddenly, he looked at the scalper who suddenly accelerated and scolded.
But as soon as he finished scolding, he looked around uneasily, and that feeling just now came again, as if.... Something stares at itself in the dark.
He looked behind him, there was nothing in the soft moonlight, a high rock wall on the left, a cliff on the right, there could be nothing at all.
"Slow down, slow down." Although uneasy, Lin Shang still pulled the reins and tried to slow down the ox.
But it was also because of his pull that the ox seemed to be frightened, and its four hooves accelerated violently, and rushed forward with the ox cart at a very fast speed.
Lin Shang was frightened, he could only hold on to the reins, trying to make this originally obedient old scalper obedient.
But the next moment, touch!
The sound of landing sounded on the out-of-control ox cart, which made Lin Shang's heart, who was already panicked, sink sharply.
It seems that there really is something .... appeared.
The situation of dying at any time made him constantly look at all the scenes around him, trying to find the source of the sound that had just landed.
The biophobia of heights kept the scalper from running towards the part near the cliff, and it was safe for the time being in the vehicle.
But the uneasiness in his heart became more and more intense, and his eyes were locked on the roof of the ox cart, and there was nothing abnormal around, this was the only blind spot.
Tear pull~
The sound of a wood being inserted came from where he was staring, and then the roof of the bullock cart began to shatter.
A pair of pale, withered, corpse-like palms imprinted into Lin Shang's eyes, and his heart shrank sharply, remembering the terrifying teleportation in this castle.
"Hell... Hellβ" he let out a scream of terror.
The old scalper pulling the cart also seemed to be frightened by this sound, and the panic in the bull's eyes was about to overflow, and the four hooves continued to accelerate.
As he stepped on a raised stone in a panic, the entire ox cart instantly lost control and rushed out of the cliff.
"Ahhh.....hhh
Lin Shang's increasingly frightened screams startled a group of bats wandering around the castle, bringing a touch of bizarre terror to this place where there was no light.
