Chapter 159: Blood Clan Mummies
The others looked at these seductive flowers, thinking they might be some precious medicinal herbs. While they hesitated, the burly John directly jumped in, plucked the largest blue flower shaped like a butterfly and stuffed it into his pocket…
“So these flowers are so seductive… No wonder there are no other monsters, only undead monsters. What is the Lobey family hiding?”
Su Jiu covered Yun Xi’s little head against her chest, pressing her chin down slightly, then with the tip of another finger, she lightly sliced through the flower bush, the sound of wind breaking through the air.
“Whoosh!”
A crescent-shaped Bloodlight instantly severed the stems of some of the flowers, followed by a thick, sesame paste-like red sap continuously emerging from the flower stalks, accompanied by strange wailing sounds. The flowers swayed.
At this moment, Su Jiu thought of the Corpse Pasture Grass she encountered in the training canyon; it also shrieked and reacted in the same way. They were indeed alive!
Then, the flower demons began to whisper chillingly, like babbling children. Accompanied by the whispers, the purple flowers on the vines also began to sway.
“What are you doing?! Don’t disturb these monsters!” Hearing the voices of the flower demons, Laura, like a startled groundhog, suddenly turned her head and questioned Su Jiu.
Then, she looked at the flowers with an uncertain expression, and whispered, “Let’s go quickly. We’ll leave after we get what we need. These damned things have been disturbed.”
After saying that, she immediately turned and ran, without a moment’s hesitation. Blood energy surged from her body, and she rushed forward.
“You know these are monsters. What is your Belo family hiding?”
Su Jiu narrowed her eyes, but didn’t think much of it. Blood energy formed a broadsword under her feet, and with a slight step forward, the broadsword carried the two of them forward.
Yun Xi hugged Su Jiu’s waist, and the two of them drifted elegantly, one white, one black, giving a feeling of a devoted couple.
External Qi materialized. Su Jiu, following Bai Ming’s actions in the novel, tried to materialize her usual weapon after advancing. However, looking at it now, the materialized sword was still quite rough up close, but it was more than enough to carry people.
The other four exchanged glances upon seeing this.
“What on earth are you playing at, Belo family?”
“We don’t know either. Laura is the leader, and she knows some details. We really don’t understand.”
Excluding the Bald Young Man, the others directly flew with their external qi. Lucica and the other two didn’t need to carry anyone, so their external qi wasn’t wasted like Su Jiu’s.
John, wanting to carry someone, was not strong enough, so he could only pull the Bald Young Man’s hand, which looked quite comical.
With the enhancement of external qi, Su Jiu quickly caught up to Laura. Her fingernails instantly elongated, and the blood-colored broadsword under her feet swung, emitting a piercing sound, intercepting Laura. Her fingernails were placed at Laura’s neck, and she asked coldly,
“What exactly is going on here? You never mentioned these monsters before. How could an ordinary old house produce so many plant monsters?”
Seeing that Su Jiu had turned hostile, Laura lowered her head to look at the cold glint under her neck. She could only stop and explain helplessly, “It’s not that I knew about the monsters here, but this is, precisely speaking, the old house of that branch, and they are all alchemists, so these things were kept by them.”
Su Jiu continued to ask calmly, “So? What the hell are these flowers and vines? Did you find a Battle General with a light-attribute bloodline in advance, anticipating that we would only encounter undead monsters on this journey?”
Su Jiu did not intend to let this explanation go. She felt like an idiot who was about to risk her life for others without understanding anything.
If the Lobey representative didn’t explain clearly, she wouldn’t mind turning around and leaving. Although 30 Intermediate Magic Crystals were precious, they were only worth it if she could keep her life!
“I don’t know what those vines are either. They should be something the branch was fiddling with before. As for the light-attribute bloodline, that’s just because there are really a lot of undead monsters here,” Laura quickly explained. She was truly afraid that Su Jiu would kill her. Her gaze shifted, and when she landed on Su Jiu and Yun Xi’s pointed ears, she realized that both of them were High-Class Blood Clan.
“Blood Clan… Why don’t we go find that Alchemical Item as soon as possible and leave?”
Her heart suddenly jolted, but she quickly calmed down. Then, a red light flashed in her eyes, and her expression was no longer so flustered.
Blood Clan, huh?
Heh, when the time comes, after I obtain that Initial Embrace of Life, I’ll let you all experience the oppression of a superior being. What’s a Battle General anyway?
Under the suppression of a superior bloodline, their strength might not even be able to be unleashed by sixty percent. John could easily handle them.
Laura was clearly somewhat displeased with Su Jiu having her fingernails at her neck, but she still maintained a gentle smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Jiu retracted her fingernails and looked at the subtly moving vines. She took a deep breath and said coldly, “Quickly go activate that switch. If you dare to play any tricks, you’d better think if your life is tough enough.”
With that, she let go, and the two of them quietly stood a few body lengths away from Laura. Not long after, they arrived at a particularly spacious area ahead.
It looked a bit like an amusement park, but it was all made of metal, even the floor was made of metal. Various devices were peculiar and old, showing traces of rust.
The machine in the very center, resembling a slot machine, was what Su Jiu guessed to be the switch. Laura rushed up and started manipulating it.
“Rumble!”
At this moment, a huge rumbling sound erupted. Su Jiu looked over and saw that the flowers in the garden suddenly surged into the sky, roots and all, splashing mud. What was revealed beneath the roots were the vines!
The vines thrashed wildly in the sky, seeming to have lost their target, but they exuded a terrifying aura, subtly giving off a pressure that was already approaching Battle King Level.
Several people looked back, feeling a little scared looking at the dozens of meters long vines. They then turned to look at Su Jiu, swallowing their saliva. If Su Jiu hadn’t discovered it in advance, they might have perished there.
“These are… flowers?”
Ignoring these people, Su Jiu’s gaze fell to the front left, where there was another cluster of flowers identical to those in the garden. Her heart leaped, but seeing that the flowers on top were already dry, she felt a bit relieved.
“But the surroundings are all steel, how did the flowers get here?”
Su Jiu walked closer and peeled open a flower, only to discover that underneath were mummified bodies of small bats, with the flowers growing out of their bellies!
Looking up again, there were very fresh drag marks on the steel road, like a great serpent had slithered by, with even some bloodstains on it.
As Su Jiu was contemplating, Yun Xi beside her suddenly spoke. She also stretched out her fingernails, pierced a bat, and conjured a flame, looking at it carefully. Then she said softly, “Sister Jiu, your guess was correct. Someone came here before us.”
Su Jiu was slightly stunned, looked up at Yun Xi’s small face, then looked down at the tip of her fingers in surprise, muttering, “Could it be…”
Yun Xi had become a Vampire earlier than her, so it was normal for her to know more about the Blood Clan.
“Yes, these small bats are Blood Clan, and… they probably haven’t been dead for long!” Yun Xi flicked the small bat away with her fingernail. Just as she was about to wipe it with a tissue, two pained cries came from behind them. The two turned their heads to look.
“Aaaah?!” This was the old priest’s cry. She was clutching her head and wailing.
The other cry was from John just now. Tears and snot streamed down his face, and he clutched his nose tightly, yelling, “It hurts so much!! Something is growing out of my nose!”
