Chapter 519: Blood Clan Mass Grave

"The ancestor of the blood clan?"

Mu You was stunned. Isn't it the ancestor of the blood clan who has been dead for more than 2,000 years?

The diary that records his birth process...

Mu You's face was strange, but when he thought about it, it was true. All the vampires at present were created by this ancestor of the blood clan from generation to generation. Then how did this first vampire come from?

[Mai Yi handed you a tattered old book. ]

[You got the 'incomplete diary of the ancestor of the vampire'. ]

Mu You took out the diary and took a look.

An extremely old book appeared in his hand. It was called a diary, but it was more like a newly unearthed cultural relic. The pages were yellowed and curled. Nine out of ten pages were torn and the handwriting on them was even more blurred and difficult to recognize.

Mu You asked Mai Yi to wait in the game, and sat down to read this 'diary' carefully from beginning to end.

Because some of the handwriting was too blurry, and the diary itself was intermittent, Mu You spent more than an hour scribbling, and finally only half-guessed and half-guessed to summarize some of the information in the diary.

The general idea of ​​the diary is that this ancestor of the blood clan was just an ordinary farmer in the Star Spirit Realm a long time ago. Until one day, he accidentally entered a mysterious city and stayed there for half a year. After leaving, he had the ability to live forever and various magical blood clan abilities.

However, he lost all his memories in this city. He didn't remember how his curse and abilities came from. The experience of the past six months was like being forcibly cut out from his brain.

The only thing left in his mind was a name and a legend.

This person was called 'Cain', and he was a farmer like him. Cain also had a younger brother named Abel, who was a shepherd. One day, a messenger from a certain god passed by their farm and asked the brothers to sacrifice their most precious things to the god to show their sincerity to the Lord.

Cain offered the vegetables and grains from the field as tribute, and Abel also slaughtered the fattest livestock in his flock and offered them. The gods praised Abel's sacrifice, but ignored Cain's sacrifice.

Cain was very distressed about this. As a farmer, he had already offered the best things he had to the gods, but why couldn't he satisfy the gods. Cain asked the messenger, and the messenger told him that the gods wanted the most precious things in their hearts, and Cain must have concealed something, which made the gods dissatisfied.

Cain suddenly realized, so in the second sacrifice, Cain pulled out a sharp weapon and stabbed his favorite thing, his brother Abel, to death, and offered it to the gods.

The gods were very angry and said bluntly that Abel was not Cain's favorite person. Cain was just jealous that his brother was appreciated by the gods, so he killed his brother.

The gods then cast three curses on Cain:

First, he and his descendants will always crave blood and can only be a parasite forever.

Second, he and his descendants will always be afraid of sunlight and can only hide in the dark sewers like rats all day long.

Third, he will be unable to live or die, and will forever suffer the torture of the first two curses in the eternal curse.

Mu You frowned as he looked at the content recorded on the paper.

This man named 'Cain' was also the 'Blood God' widely believed by the vampires in the Star Spirit World. He was recognized as the ancestor of vampires within the blood clan.

However, this legend only mentioned that Cain was cursed with three kinds of vampires by a certain god, but did not mention how his power came from, and how he became a blood god from a mortal.

In short, this is all the information that can be obtained from this diary.

Mu You was about to put away the diary, but he accidentally found that a corner of a thin paper was quietly exposed in the gap between a page of the diary.

Mu You pulled out the paper and opened it. It turned out to be a hand-painted map.

The lines on this map are quite simple, like random graffiti, and only the shape of a continent can be roughly seen, and a tiny cross is marked at a certain position in the middle.

"Is this the place where the ancestor of the blood clan was born?" Mu You raised his eyebrows.

This map is clipped in this diary, it is impossible that it has no connection with the diary. The most likely possibility is that the "place" mentioned in the diary is marked on it.

Mu You hurriedly found the map of the Star Spirit Realm and compared it with the continent on paper. After a while, he confirmed a very similar place: the Laiwugui Desert!

"It's actually in the desert?" Mu You was surprised.

The Laiwugui Desert is the largest sandy continent in the Star Spirit Realm. The Qingyan Desert and Scarlet Desert that Mu You had visited before are both areas of this continent.

Mu You didn't expect that the birthplace of vampires would be in a desert with plenty of sunshine. No matter what, now that he has found a clue, whether it is true or not, he has to go and see it first.

Then Mu You returned to the game and told Mai Yi that he was going to the desert. Mai Yi immediately asked to go with him, but was rejected by Mu You.

The desert can be said to be the most unsuitable place for vampires to move around in the entire Astral World. At least the Fool has other skins to move around during the day. A serious vampire going to the desert is asking for trouble.

[You bid farewell to Mai in her reluctant eyes and stepped into the teleportation array of Evernight City alone. ]

[You appear in Dawn City. ]

The desert area is the stopover area of ​​Dawn City. Mu You has many acquaintances here. In addition to Solomon, there is also Evans, the legion commander of the Ajomar Empire, who is also an old friend.

Mu You casually asked the locals and got the location marked on the map - Yellowstone Desert, Water Without Sound.

The Yellowstone Desert is the most arid area among the nearby deserts, famous for the yellow sand that fills the sky all year round.

And 'Water Without Sound' is an extremely dry area at the core of the Yellowstone Desert. Even the top water magicians here cannot summon even a single water element, so it is called 'Water Without Sound'.

Such an extremely dry land is naturally uninhabitable. It should be said that there are no human traces in the entire Water Without Sound and the surrounding areas. It is also the only place in the entire Wugui Desert that no one has set foot on.

Mu You did not expect that the origin of vampires happened to be in such a ghost place. At this time, he could not find anyone to accompany him, so he could only drive the land ship alone and sail into the depths of the desert.

After a few hours of travel, Mu You arrived at the place.

[…The land ship stopped roaring, and you arrived at 'Water Without Sound'. 】

【You leave the land ship, and see the yellow sand blowing in your face. You feel thirsty in the corners of your eyes, lips and tongue, and your nose is burning like fire. You subconsciously want to replenish water and unscrew the kettle, but before you lift it up, the water has evaporated without a drop left...】

Sure enough, this ghost place is so dry that even tears and saliva can be dried up in an instant. No wonder there are few people.

Mu You didn't want to stay in this ghost place for too long, so he took out the Moon Scepter and activated the artifact on the spot.

【You activated the Moon Scepter, and the originally bright sky around you suddenly became dark. A full moon appeared silently in the sky, and the mercury-like moonlight poured over the desert, but it was difficult to offset the heat waves that rolled up from time to time here...】

【You switched to the Boiling Blood Wolf skin. 】

The Boiling Blood Wolf is the skin that Mu You had brushed off from the werewolf boy before. It is a werewolf with the strongest vampire perception ability. On the night of the full moon, the perception ability will reach its peak, and it can sense the vampire tombs buried deep underground from a distance of hundreds of kilometers.

This desert is bare. Even if there are things related to vampires, they must be buried underground and can only be sensed by the werewolf skin.

Next, Mu You took advantage of the blessing of the full moon and drove wildly in the desert with the werewolf skin. If the map in the log is true, the skin should be able to sense something.

Sure enough, a few minutes after the search started, a prompt popped up in the game.

[… You feel a strong smell of blood, which is seeping out from the ground not far ahead! ]

[The violently boiling blood in your body reminds you that there may be more than one vampire hiding underground, and they are extremely powerful! You'd better approach carefully. 】

"Oh?"

Mu You was surprised that a warning prompt popped up at the same time... There was more than one. Could it be that there were many vampire tombs gathered here?

[You are approaching the bloody land...]

[You are moving away from the crisis...]

...

Mu You constantly adjusted the direction based on the prompts of the text feedback. After searching for about ten minutes, he finally found the right place.

[It is here! The bloody smell is the strongest under your feet. As a werewolf, you'd better leave this place as soon as possible! But as a vampire, you might be able to go down and take a look! 】

Mu You directly switched to the mecha skin, equipped with an alchemical device called "pangolin driller", and began to dig sand downwards.

[The drill bit spun, countless gravel flew out from the ground, and the body was quickly going deep into the ground...]

[Digging...]

The next step was a long digging process. After about ten minutes, the mecha dug through the sand layer and reached the mineral rock area. The rock here is rich in metal and extremely hard. The ground-entry technique cannot penetrate it, so it can only be penetrated with a drill.

[The roar of the alchemy engine resounded over the desert. After an unknown amount of time, you suddenly felt your feet empty, as if you had dug into a hollow area. You lost your support and the entire machine fell straight down. ]

[In the midst of the dust, you suddenly felt that you were on the ground again. You opened your eyes and found that you were already in an ancient underground palace. ]

[The surrounding stone walls were carved with murals of various styles, and in the passage, mummies were everywhere, with different causes of death...]

When he fell, Mu You had already held his pocket watch and was ready to face a big battle at any time.

As a result, none of the imagined powerful enemies and various killing machines appeared. It seemed that there were no living people in this palace.

Mu You frowned, controlled the mecha to remove the drill, equipped the shotgun, and continued to explore forward.

[You approach the nearest mummy with a horrible death. Judging from the smell of dried blood around it, this person was at least a vampire duke in his lifetime...]

[The second mummy, the death was equally tragic, it seems that someone had cut out his heart and lungs to death. Judging from the smell, this person has also reached the level of a duke...]

...

Mu You searched all the way forward, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

This palace was full of vampire corpses. Rather than a vampire tomb, it was more like a mass grave!

More importantly, these dead vampires were all dukes, without exception!

"So many dukes?"

Mu You looked strange. Before he came, he was worried that the vampire tombs he found would not be enough. You have to know that just to upgrade from a marquis to a duke, you need ten drops of ancestor blood, and you need to find at least ten vampire duke tombs to extract blood from the blood niche.

The vampire duke is such a rare identity. The total number of dukes in the history of the entire vampire family may not exceed three digits. Think about it, how easy is it to find ten?

However, the scene in front of him completely subverted his concept: at his feet alone, there were at least hundreds of vampire duke remains lying there, and further into the unseen places, there would only be more remains.

The majestic Vampire Duke, who is at the top of the vampire clan today, was so bad in the past?

[You take out the blood niche and place it on the remains at your feet. 】

[The blood niche automatically lights up and begins to absorb the remaining energy from the remains...]

[After the absorption is completed, you have obtained a small drop of 'blood of the ancestor', whose energy is only one-tenth of the normal blood of the ancestor...]

The absorption process was faster than expected. It took about half a minute to absorb a corpse. However, I don't know if it was because the corpse here was too damaged. Only one-tenth of the blood of the ancestor was obtained.

Fortunately, there were enough bodies at the scene.

Mu You took the blood niche and absorbed it all the way.

An hour later, after absorbing more than a hundred remains, 10 drops of the blood of the ancestors were finally collected in the blood niche.

[You have collected ten drops of ‘blood of the ancestors’, do you want to fuse them immediately? 】

[Note: After fusion, your Vampire Marquis skin will be promoted to 'Vampire Duke', the previously awakened vampire talents will be enhanced, and you will automatically learn a new talent ability. 】

"yes."

There was no need to hesitate, Mu You made an upgrade on the spot.

[Promotion completed, your vampire skin is promoted to 'Vampire Duke'. 】

[Your three talents of Giant Killer, Talent Absorption, and Speed ​​have been strengthened. 】

[You have awakened a new talent: super sense. 】

The promotion was successfully completed, just like last time, only a few vampires' talents were strengthened, and those devoured talents could not be improved.

Mu You took a brief look and found that none of the three talent improvements were too big. Giant Slayer only had a higher multiplier; the divine speed multiplier remained unchanged, and the cooldown time was shortened from being activated once in one minute to once in half a minute.

As for talent absorption, the side effects are once again reduced by one level. In the future, the curses obtained after absorbing talents will be reduced by two levels in a row. Some ordinary curses will disappear directly. Even powerful curses will have their effects greatly weakened.

The last thing is the newly acquired super sense. Needless to say, this talent was first activated by his sister Mai. When Mu You acted with her before, he saw her use it many times. It is comparable to seeing and hearing, and it can be greatly enhanced. Field of vision, predicting enemy opportunities, anti-tracking, anti-ambush, etc., the effect is quite good.

The new talents here can be rolled with a pocket watch, but the other talents in their series, such as charm, huge power, atomization, deflection, and iron block, do not seem to be more practical than super sense. Mu You simply can No more effort to roll.

After selecting his talent, Mu You turned around, looked at the blood niche in his hand, and then looked at the remains on the ground.

Originally, being able to be promoted to Duke at once this time was far beyond his expectations. However, the current situation made him have some more greedy thoughts: It seems that he can continue to be promoted...
