Demon Hunter: I have a red gourd

Chapter 64 Blood Essence

Ivan quietly reached out and grasped the hilt of the griffin steel sword behind him.

The lid of the coffin was moved open again. It was obviously done by that high-level vampire. Was he here with ill intentions?

It was definitely too late to escape. High-level vampires could transform into bats and fly much faster than him.

In that case, you might as well give it a try.

His true form is definitely no match for a high-level vampire.

But with the unused Guangzhi incarnation and the last Fuhu Pill, even though his incarnation was much weaker than the original Guangzhi, he still had a chance to confront a high-level vampire head-on.

Even if I can't kill him completely, as long as I burn him to ashes, I can still leave calmly.

High-level vampires were different from other monsters, and silverware was useless to them. This was because they came from another world, and their power came entirely from themselves, having nothing to do with chaotic energy, or magic.

However, those low-level vampires are different. In the original world, they are just ordinary creatures. But after the intersection of the celestial spheres, their bodies are affected by the chaotic energy and mutate, and they possess various strange abilities, and are therefore restrained by silver.

The Demon Hunter Badge was designed by Alzu. Its original intention was to detect the chaotic energy nearby and then discover the monsters affected by the chaotic energy.

High-level vampires don't have this kind of energy, so the badge shouldn't react to them.

There must be some other reason why the badge vibrated so violently when the coffin lid was opened.

Ivan remembered, it was the pendant hanging around the neck of the high-level vampire!
When he opened the coffin, he was so shocked to see the high-level vampire that he didn't have time to think too much.

Only now did I realize that there was something wrong with the pendant inlaid with strange crystals around his neck.

It was unknown how long this high-level vampire had been sleeping here, but the pendant still looked so brand new, even the chain hanging on it was sparkling, obviously a magic prop.

Could this be the thing that caused the demon spirit to mutate? If so, then we have to fight today.

With a "bang", the coffin lid was pushed to the ground, stirring up a large amount of dust.

Just as Ivan tensed all his muscles, ready to deal with the sudden attack of high-level vampires at any time, he saw the man in black clothes half-sitting up in the coffin and rubbing his sleepy eyes.

He seemed not to be fully awake yet, and his voice was a little lazy, but still full of elegance.

"I suddenly forgot that you came to pick up something you agreed to meet me, right? I felt like I slept for a really long time, so long that my mind is a little sluggish."

The nail on his right index finger suddenly grew longer, like a sharp blade, and lightly scratched the wrist of his left hand, leaving a tiny wound.

However, strangely, the wound did not ooze blood as usual. Instead, only a single drop of blood oozed out, breaking free from the skin and floating in mid-air. Then, it slowly floated towards Ivan.

?

Ivan looked at the drop of blood floating in front of him and fell into confusion.

What does this mean? Do you want me to prove my relationship with him through blood tests?
"Put it away quickly. After this transaction is completed, I can continue to sleep peacefully for another hundred years." The black-robed vampire yawned and lay back quietly.

Ivan was even more confused, but he still took out an empty potion bottle from his potion belt and collected the drop of blood.

Who cares what it is? Judging from the tone of this high-level vampire, it's definitely something good. He'll put it away first. Once he's out, he'll look up information in a library to see what this drop of blood can do. Since this high-level vampire had no intention of fighting him, Ivan decided not to provoke him. After all, he had no assurance of victory.

If the pendant on his chest was really the cause of the demon's strange transformation, then Ivan would go back and tell Roche and let him solve it himself.

Roche's reward for robbing a high-ranking vampire wasn't nearly enough. Temeria was a country as large as this, with its own court sorcerer. Surely they couldn't even handle a high-ranking vampire?

retreat!

However, just as Ivan was about to leave, the black-robed man in the coffin sat up again. But this time he didn't pause, but climbed out of the coffin directly.

"It's too bright and I still can't sleep." He bent down to pick up the coffin lid on the ground, then casually glanced at Ivan.

"You've got the things, why don't you leave?"

"Okay, I'll leave now." Ivan replied, then faced him and slowly retreated.

"Wait," the black-robed man shook his head, as if trying to dispel his sleepiness, "Your ears tell me you're not an elf!"

His voice suddenly became sharp. The moment he said this, Ivan drew the steel sword from his back. The cold sword light illuminated the entire tomb!

At the same time, its hand reached to its waist, where there was a bottle of "Black Blood" potion!
But the man in black robe still stood there without any movement.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to fight me?"

Seeing that he didn't move, Ivan was embarrassed. He laughed awkwardly and said, "Uh, no, I was just stretching my body."

The black-robed man placed his hand on his temple. "Let me recollect. It seems those elves haven't bothered me in nearly four hundred years. I missed four trading opportunities. No wonder I slept so soundly this time."

He raised his head and looked at Ivan, "Are you here to collect the blood essence from these four times?"

"No, you are not an elf, nor a vampire. I don't sense any aura of the same kind."

"Wait, you're actually human? How did humans end up in this world? Are they also trapped here because of that damn celestial intersection?"

"That's not right. Your eyes are also a little different from humans. They are actually golden vertical eyes. How strange. What race are you?"

The man in black robe seemed to be fully awake. He looked at Ivan, his eyes not aggressive but full of doubt.

Ivan's face looked a little ugly. This high-level vampire didn't even know that humans had come into this world!
How long had he been sleeping here?

According to historical records, there have been two celestial conjunctions in the Witcher world. The first was in the 2nd century BC, when the elves came to this world.

The second time was in the 8th century, when humans first landed on this world.

This high-level vampire didn't even know about the arrival of humans, which meant that he was most likely the first generation of high-level vampire who came to this world with the elves during the first celestial conjunction!
The year is now 1262. This means that even if this high-level vampire was just a baby when he came into this world, he is now over years old!
Judging from his elegant manners and demeanor, he had obviously lived in the vampire society of his original world for many years.

This means that his real age is very likely to be 1,600 years old, or even more!
In a race where the older they get, the stronger they become, how strong is the true strength of a high-level vampire who has survived for so long?
