Chapter 21 The Castle
Seeing Su Ming's puzzled eyes, Jephne began to explain: "There are many monsters living in the wild in this world."
"Vampires are a very special one. They look almost the same as humans. They have wisdom, have long lifespans and are powerful. Many nobles even deliberately transformed into vampires for their long life."
"Some vampires will capture humans for food at will, but some vampires will deliberately raise humans to provide them with 'food'."
"In exchange, these vampires promise to protect the safety of villages or towns, and even take out food to rescue these humans when they encounter natural disasters such as drought, locust plagues, floods, etc."
"Of course these vampires are not selfless. They will ask that every time a village or town, they will contribute some people as food for those vampires."
"In order not to send their people as food, these towns will prepare enough sacrifices for vampires in various ways."
"Usually the offerings they selected were small caravans of several people or travelers alone. Obviously, we were chosen as sacrifices by them!"
"Are you a sacrifice?" Su Ming sneered: "Maybe we will give him a surprise!"
At this moment, a group of crows suddenly flew out of the woods not far away. The crows hovered in the air for a while, and then flew over the ancient castle in the distance. There was no movement in the castle, and there was a silence around it.
"We should have been discovered!" Jephne said, looking at the group of crows hovering over the castle.
Advanced vampires have the ability to control animals. The previous wolves should have been controlled by vampires, and they drove away pedestrians by controlling the wolf king.
At this moment, a dead aura suddenly spread. Then, in the flower field outside the manor, a monster wearing a torn hat, a gray robe, and pieced together with bones suddenly appeared beside him. The sickle covered with rust and blood marks in his hand slashed a cold light and instantly chopped Su Ming's neck. His posture completely wanted to behead him on the spot.
This undead monster appeared very suddenly and was astonishingly fast. Even Su Ming was caught off guard at this time, but fortunately, both of them were always very alert and had no time to dodge Su Ming immediately held the sickle with the long sword in his hand. Then he kicked the bone frame away.
[Dead Reaper: Dead creature, which gathers a large number of resentment from the dead before their death, harvesting death, and raiding.]
After kicking it away, Su Ming waved his sword and rushed up. The undead harvester in front of him was not too strong. The only thing he needed to be careful is its surprise attack and death harvest. It can kill the enemy in an instant under the sneak attack, but as long as it avoids this move carefully, it will have no choice.
After the vampire absorbed the blood of the prey, the remaining corpses were made into undead monsters. This kind of corpse gathered the fear and resentment of humans before death, combined with the undead spell, was finally made into undead puppets. Although they had no thoughts and wisdom, they did not need rest, did not require wages, and they were also good at strength. They were very suitable for being thugs.
Seeing the undead harvester flying backwards, Su Ming did not give it a chance to attack again. The continuous attacks made it blow to bone chips flying around.
"Retreat!" At this moment, Jennifer's voice suddenly came from behind, and Su Ming didn't even think about it and dodged immediately.
"Boom!" The scorching air waves spread out, and a fireball flew out and hit the undead Reaper, swallowing its figure in an instant.
The flames dissipated, and only a few charred bones were left on the ground. The power of the fireball explosion was comparable to that of the bomb, and it was more than enough to deal with the undead harvesters.
After patting the dust on his body, Su Ming and Jennifer set out again. The movement just now must have alarmed the vampire in the castle. They killed the Undead Reaper, and did not encounter other monsters along the way. The two of them soon arrived near the castle.
Su Ming nodded slightly at Jennifer, and then when he approached the castle first, Jennifer followed behind. After reaching the gate, Jennifer reached out and gently pressed the rock wall of the castle. The originally hard rock immediately softened into soil and was easily broken into a big hole.
The dark castle was silent, but the ground was very clean, and it was obvious that people were often cleaned. Su Ming and Jennifer walked into the castle, and there were only echoes of footsteps in the empty castle. Soon the two of them came to a hall.
At this moment, a sound of flapping wings suddenly appeared, and the sound kept echoing in the castle, and there was no idea what was hidden in the darkness.
"Be careful, something is coming!" Jennifer whispered, a spell energy rising from her.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of bats rushed towards the two of them.
Su Ming waved the silver sword in his hand and instantly cut a rushing bat into two sections. The silver weapon had a powerful lethality to these monsters, and the bat instantly turned into a pile of ashes.
At the same time, more bats rushed up, and the silver sword in Su Ming's hand turned into countless sword lights at this moment. The bats rushing up were hit by sword lights, and a large number of bats were killed.
A rumbling sound came, as if the stone gate was opened, and then a group of large beasts with bat heads rushed out of the darkness. As soon as these monsters with bat heads appeared, they rushed towards the two of them. A bloody mouth was covered with sharp teeth, which was daunting.
"Accelerating Technique!" A spell-like light shrouded inspiration. Su Ming's already agile speed brought out phantoms, and the monsters rushing up turned into ashes under Su Ming's sword light.
Just as the hall was fighting constantly, a figure in a black and red dress appeared on the high platform of the castle. The dim light shone over, leaving a pale silhouette.
"Witch Hunter? Witch?"
"Is this the offering this time?"
"How long has it been since I drank the magical blood of the witch? One hundred years or two hundred years? It's just right to move!" Rusden said arrogantly as he looked at the two below.
Rusden has a handsome appearance, wearing a well-decorated dress, and a pale face. He looks like a very well-educated nobleman. But in fact, he is a vampire who has lived for at least five hundred years.
"Go and catch them, I'm going to taste their blood slowly!" Rusden said with a sneer.
Behind him were several female vampires in exposed clothes. These female vampires looked beautiful, had fair skin, cold expressions, and had a pair of sharp canine teeth outside their red lips. After receiving the order, these female vampires instantly opened their pair of bat wings, jumped deep and flew down directly.
