"Is this alchemical acid?"

President Clark watched Jialan's movements curiously, but he didn't understand why Jialan was using "alchemical acid" to corrode the red spots of the hired man's corpse.

"No, it's not alchemy acid, it's just alchemy solvent!"

Jialan shook his head, alchemical acid is a corrosive substance used in alchemy, usually only alchemists can refine it, and the output is very small, and alchemy solvent is a conventional alchemy reagent, which is used in almost all alchemy tests to melt some materials, or to fuse two immiscible substances.

However, alchemical solvents are not corrosive, and as long as they are not swallowed directly, even if they are applied to the skin or broken wounds, they will not cause harm to the human body.

Seeing the red spots on the necks of the hired workers' corpses, Jia Lan had already guessed the approximate cause of the deaths of the four hired workers, so she used alchemical solvent to melt the "thrombin" coagulated on the red spots.

Yes, the murderer was clearly some kind of bloodsuck among the undead, and although it was not known exactly what kind of Dao Dao was, the traces it left behind had already revealed its identity.

In the process of sucking blood, any vampire will inject an anesthetic substance into the prey, making it unable to feel pain, and even the dizziness and blackness caused by massive blood loss will also make them feel as if they are taking drugs, and produce dreamlike intoxicating hallucinations.

This is also the reason why the faces of the corpses of the four hired workers appear with that strange happy expression.

After blood sucking, the thrombin contained in the venom left behind by the vampire fangs quickly coagulates the blood and produces a layer of transparent gelatin, making the wound look like a red spot left by a mosquito bite, so as to cover the wound.

Coincidentally, the alchemical solvent was able to melt this thrombin, leaving the wound exposed again.

After listening to Jialan's explanation. President Clark and the others couldn't help but be shocked: "Could it be a legendary vampire?"

As far as Jialan knows, vampires aren't legends... However, there is no need to deliberately explain this kind of thing to Clark and the others.

Jialan just looked at the wound again, then shook her head and said, "Judging from the spacing of the wounds, it does look like a vampire bite, but the 'characteristics' are wrong..."

"Vampire" is a derogatory term for human beings for bloods, in fact, "vampires" call themselves "blood clan", they are a kind of blood-sampire whose intelligence is no less than or even surpasses that of humans, with an elegant temperament, cold and glamorous, handsome and noble image, and they think they are a more noble species than humans.

And the "taste" of the Bloodline is very picky. Just like human nobles must choose filet tenderloin when eating steak, beautiful virgin girls and handsome innocent teenagers are their first prey.

At the same time, the "dining etiquette" of the blood clan is quite "elegant" and "beautiful", and they usually charm the prey they choose, and then start a cat play like a mouse. The entire process can even take days or even months.

After the prey falls in love with them, the prey will be in the deepest fascination with them. Start enjoying their "good meal". Therefore, unless it is deliberately killed, the victims who are generally attacked by the blood clan will even fall in love with them without regrets, sacrifice their own blood, and willingly become their slaves.

The four hired men were all vulgar men in their thirties and forties, no matter how you look at them. None of them quite meet the criteria for the blood clan to choose prey, and if the beautiful maidens and handsome teenagers are "filet loin", then they are at most "in the water".

If any of the Bloods really bit them, then Jia Lan could only say. This blood clan is probably either hungry or has too much taste......

Bared his teeth, Jialan stretched out two fingers and compared his two tiger teeth that were also somewhat pointed, and compared the wounds on the corpse, and signaled the width of the wounds to Clark and the others: "But this kind of spacing is not the traces left by some kind of small vampire descendants similar to vampire bats, it's really strange!"

He was also a little puzzled, this kind of spacing is exactly the canine tooth distance of a humanoid vampire, but in addition to the blood clan, what kind of vampire is human?

However, the appearance of the Vampire can explain why there are terrifying legends in Fort of Doom, and those who live in Fort Doom will die mysteriously, the only doubt is that in the history of Fort Doom, why will the victims disappear inexplicably.

It is important to know that although the bloodsuckers belong to the undead creatures, they are the type of undead creatures that do not eat corpses, and even if those who are killed are attacked by the bloodsuckers, they will not even disappear the corpses.

Although there is a folk legend of "vampires eating people", it is just because those who do not know about blood-sucking creatures confuse the "undead" blood, the "undead" ghouls, and the "dark" werewolves.

The so-called "immortal" and "undead" are two completely different existences and cannot be confused, although they both belong to "necromancers" and are not "living beings".

There were too many suspicions, and Jialan couldn't make a judgment immediately, so she could only ask the mercenary who found the body of the hired man: "How long have the four hired workers died?"

The mercenary recalled, "No more than six hours! When we found them, it was about half an hour before dawn." ”

Hearing this, Jialan squatted beside the corpse and studied it for a while, then suddenly reached out and gently tugged at the hair of the corpse of one of the hired men, but directly pulled off the large handful of hair, causing the poor hired man's corpse to be bald!

Clark and the others had a chill, but they reacted immediately, with the cold temperature at this time, it is impossible for a corpse that has been dead for no more than 6 hours to decompose, and there is no reason why the hair of the corpse will fall out so easily!

Jialan obviously thought of something, but she didn't say anything, just nodded thoughtfully: "Can you get holy water or invite a priest?"

President Clark and Head Kenmet glanced at each other and frowned, "Coran City is the realm of Kemo University, and it is also the only city that does not have the Church of Light, although there are a few Light Priests operating in Coran City, it is not so easy to find them in a short period of time. ”

Jia Lan nodded as if in anticipation, in the pre-civilization, although the religious beliefs of the Kingdom of Gilargo were quite free, and the spread of certain religions was not specifically forbidden, but in Fort Colan, there were few religious forces.

This situation is not limited to Fort Colan, almost all the areas where arcane law is prevalent, religious beliefs are relatively weak, after all, the vast majority of mages are unbelievers who are hated by religious people, and although arcane law and religion are not opposed, they are not harmonious.

"Then we can only use more cruel methods......"

Jialan looked at the four corpses with some embarrassment, and ordered: "Go and find a wild hawthorn tree that is more than ten years old, and get three hard branches about the thickness of a little finger, at least one foot long." ”

President Clark was intrigued, "Can you kill a vampire with a branch of a ten-year-old hawthorn tree?"

Jialan shrugged her shoulders: "I don't know about it, I've just heard about it, and I'm not a priest... But I have to try, and I can only think of this solution without destroying the corpse. "The four hired men are innocent after all, and when the matter is over, their bodies will always be returned to their relatives for burial.

The wild hawthorn tree was not difficult to find, and soon a mercenary retrieved a large bundle of branches, from which Jialan picked three branches of the right thickness, sharpened them with the battle dagger that old Jimmy had given him, and then asked Div to turn the body of one of the hired men face down, and motioned, "Hold it!"

Although President Clark and the others felt that this scene was a little weird, Captain Kenmet still stepped forward to help, and the two of them pressed the corpse's shoulders one by one, and Jialan groped the back of the corpse's neck slightly, and then gently stabbed the wild hawthorn branch from the position where the skull and spine were connected!

"Yike~~~~~"

A terrible hiss suddenly erupted from the mouth of the stiff corpse, and the piercing sound wave startled everyone, and Def and Captain Kenmet, who were in charge of holding down the corpse, were almost not scared to pee!

Because they had only symbolically held down the corpse, but they did not use force...... Who would have known that corpses would also struggle? They thought that this was just part of Jialan's "corpse torture ritual".

As a result, when Jialan stabbed the wild hawthorn branch into the back of the corpse's head, the corpse of the hired man suddenly burst out with a huge force and leaned back, almost knocking the two of them to the ground, but fortunately, the strength of both of them was not low, and the reaction was fast enough to immediately press the corpse back to the ground.

I saw that the corpse of the hired worker trembled violently for a while, and then regained its hard state, and the two people who were sweating got Jialan's signal, and then carefully let go of the corpse's shoulders, this body of sweat was not tired, but cold sweat that was scared out.

(Lao Sao's note: In order to prevent some people from questioning the question of "what kind of well-informed mercenaries will be shocked by supernatural events", here is a reminder, and there will be an explanation later.) ）

Jialan walked towards the second corpse, as if she had just remembered, and reminded: "Well, by the way, when you press the corpses, it's best not to put your hands on their shoulders, just press the back of their necks or backs, so as not to be bitten by them, and it will ......be contagious."

Diff almost peed, and Captain Kenmet was even more-colored, did you dare to say this earlier?

After disposing of the other two corpses in accordance with the law, Jialan clapped her hands lightly and nodded: "Now you can send these three corpses to a closed space to 'lock them up', send someone to watch them, and deal with them after the matter is over!"

President Clark was shocked, "Are they not dead yet?"

"By the way, why only dispose of three corpses, and what about this one?"

President Clark pointed to the remaining corpse with some concern and asked, Jialan looked at the corpse of the hired worker he had pulled bald, and smiled, "Of course we have to leave one behind and 'lead the way' for us!" (To be continued......)
