After Dawn Chapter 145: Bounty Hunter (3)
"Look, who's back?" A frivolous voice sounded, and candles were lit in the hall of the black hole one after another, and behind each held candle stood a stern vampire. , their facial expressions were serious, and after Grans appeared, their eyes fell straight on him.
In the middle of the hall is a blood pool. Around the blood pool, iron chains are used to fix the sacrificed prey. One after another naked* people are helped to hang their hands on the edge of the pool, their necks, wrists and thighs are covered There are obvious scratches, some people seem to have just opened it, like a bottle filled with water and then punctured, blood spurting out of the wounds all over the body, while some people seem to have opened for a while , the chest has no ups and downs, the wound has begun to whiten, and there is no sign of blood flowing.
A rough calculation shows that this blood pool is at least formed by the blood of hundreds of people.
Qing Ran just looked up and could see how many souls there are. The huge castle hall, men and women, old and small, tall, short, fat, thin, all kinds of souls can be found Got, almost filled every corner of the entire hall.
After discovering Qingran's existence, they all rushed forward with resentment on their faces.
"Lord Death! I've been wronged to die..."
"Lord Death..."
Grants and Eugene couldn't see the existence of these undead, they only felt a gust of wind blowing, sweeping the chill through the bones. She looked at Qingran for a while, but found that she looked at Eugene with a feeling of looking at a dead person.
It's funny, he thinks he can read the resentment in Qing Ran's eyes.
Soon, though, Granth stopped laughing.
A woman was brought up by Eugene's men with their arms twisted.
"Muse..." he called out subconsciously.
"Uncle Grands, save me." The moment she saw Grands, the eyes of the woman who was brought up suddenly burst into light, and she called out to Grands for help with a look of surprise.
Qing Ran looked at the woman who suddenly appeared with interest. She had flax-colored seaweed-like hair, snow-white skin, and green eyes that were as pure as fine emeralds. Although I don't know her, but looking at Grans's expression and the relationship between the two of them, Qing Ran can also guess a thing or two.
"Grace..." Eugene's hand touched the woman's face, and then he clenched her chin abruptly, forcing her face to be fully displayed in front of Grans.
"You let her go—" Granth's expression became solemn.
"Grace, look, is she exactly the same as the Muse who was born back then?" Eugene asked, then smiled evilly, "It's like... the Muse appeared in front of you again..."
"Muse?" Qing Ran asked, "Your little lover?"
"Who are you?" Unexpectedly, the first person to notice Qingran was not Eugene, but the woman imprisoned by him.
"Julia, don't be rude, she's my friend."
"Friends?" Eugene laughed sarcastically, "I've never met a bounty hunter who is friends with a vampire, Grans, how did you deceive the little girl?"
Qing Ran saw suspicion and jealousy in the eyes of the woman who was called Julia by Grans, looked at Grans's worried face again, shook her head, and finally did not speak.
"Eugene, let her go, I can give you anything you want." Grans said, suppressing the panic in his heart.
"What do I want?" Hearing this question, Eugene tilted his head and pretended to think for a while before slowly saying, "What if I want you?"
Julia's reaction was bigger than Eugene's: "No, no, how can you want Grans?!"
"Hey, little girl, where did you go?" The fingertips of Eugene's other hand floated frivolously around Julia's neck and face, occasionally dipping her fingers into Julia's dress , causing her face to flush with redness, and her plump **** heaving up and down with anger, but her emotions made Eugene even more cheerful, "I have no interest in a big man like Grans. , but for a little girl like you..."
"Eugene—" Granth warned.
Eugene let go of his hand and said innocently: "Don't be nervous, I just want to see how much you care about each other. It seems that this answer is not bad."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Puri can give you, as can the status of the prince, I can leave with Julia."
"But you must promise to be accountable to everyone in this territory, whether it's Terran or Vampire."
"Grace, I don't think you've figured out the situation yet," Eugene said, raising his chin, motioning him to look at the people around him, "They were all your descendants, but now they are all descendants of you. Obedience to me."
The biggest capital that guarantees unity between blood tribes is the connection between bloodlines. Usually, the offspring will show absolute loyalty to the father, which is why blood tribes rarely worry about being betrayed by their offspring, because they The blood relationship between them, even if the strength of the offspring has surpassed that of the father, he cannot escape the shackles of absolute obedience. However, although this is the case in most cases, it is not absolute. The blood connection between the offspring and the parent comes from the blood provided by the parent during the transformation. Usually, it is difficult to change the relationship between the two parties. , but...
Just like now, Eugene can achieve the effect of dissolving this relationship and re-determining the blood relationship through the blood pool created by the blood of a large number of ordinary people.
"As for the territory..." Grans could clearly see the sarcasm on Eugene's face, "Do you think I would like this little place like Puri?"
She always agrees with Eugene's words. To be honest, if she hadn't really seen Grans, she would never have imagined that a town as small as Puri would be the domain of a blood prince. According to the division of strength she knows, with the strength of Grans, at least one can be assigned to the territory of a central city in the Council of Elders.
"So, what do you want?"
"Strength, I want strength." Eugene said frantically, Julia was suffocated by him, and the expression on her face was distorted.
Grace hesitated.
"Look at Julia, this is your Uncle Grans..." Eugene let go of his hand, Julia coughed violently, and he whispered in her ear.
Julia clutched her neck and shook her head desperately, coughing and refuting his words: "No, no...Uncle Grans will definitely save me."
Grace heard her voice and took a step forward subconsciously. At this moment, Qing Ran's voice rang in his ear.
"Eugene is brutal and ruthless, his ambition is definitely not just you, if you really lose the ability of bloodline, you think Eugene will let you go...or rather, he will let you and you 's little lover?"
"Julia is just my adopted daughter," Granth said.
"Is she a descendant of Muse?" asked clearly.
Grace nodded.
"Uncle Grans, he's a lunatic, leave me alone..." Julia said with tears in her eyes, "Kill him and avenge me..."
"Tell me Eugene, what do you want me to do?" Grace asked.
"It's very simple." As if he knew he would agree, Eugene dragged Julia back two steps, and then said, "Jump into the pool of blood."
Glans had never participated in sacrifice, but she also saw the blood pool's greatness, and Qing Ran... She sighed in her heart, and then clenched the scythe in her hand.
"Open--" A majestic and solemn voice sounded behind Grans. Grans only felt that the air around him suddenly solidified, and he was in the same situation as when he met Qingran for the first time. .
Eugene looked warily at Qing Ran, who was wielding a sickle.
The latter just glanced at him lightly, waved slightly, and the undead in the hall lined up in an orderly manner towards the space gap she opened.
Then she made a move that Granth could not have imagined.
She waved to Eugene.
"Wow" the sound of the chain sliding rang in the ears of Grans and Eugene. Before Eugene could dodge, there was an extra black chain in his hand.
"Come here." Qing Ran ordered, Eugene was stunned for a moment, then felt a force pulling him forward, and then he stepped into the blood pool he dug up.
At the moment Eugene fell into the blood pool, the first part of him that touched the blood pool turned into bones, and the flesh and blood quickly merged into the blood pool. Julia, who had escaped Eugene, ran towards the blood pool. Grans, dragged his clothes to hide behind him, and then cautiously looked out from behind Grans' tall figure to see Qingran's movements.
When the chain was pulled out of the blood pool, the other end was empty, Eugene's skeleton was left in the blood pool, but Grans could see that Eugene's soul was moving step by step Xiang Qingran walked over.
I saw her hand stretched out and scratched. Under the terrified scream of Eugene's soul, Qing Ran put him into his mouth without any psychological pressure, then chewed and swallowed it as if he was eating.
"Today is looking for extra money..." She said to herself, all the souls in the world keep an account, and as all the dead spirits encountered by the **** of death, she is obliged to lead them back to the underworld, However, the soul of a race like a vampire, which is immortal unless it is killed, is naturally unrecorded. For the **** of death, which uses soul power as its energy source, the soul of a vampire is naturally a good nourishment.
"Qing Ran..." Grans said, Qing Ran stretched out his hand towards him, but looked behind him.
She waved her hand and said, "Come here."
A chain shoots out in Granth's direction.
