Evolution game, nothing more than that!

This gave Yi Shen a little more confidence. He felt that even if he was alone and continued to fight Dracula like this, as long as time was long enough, he could still completely destroy the opponent!

Of course, how long this will take is another matter.

After all, the other party has more than 890,000 lives. Even if it is 890,000 pigs, it will not be possible for Yi Shen to kill them all in a short time.

Fortunately, Yi Shen never thought of actually using such a stupid method.

"Dracula, do you want to save your wife?"

Yi Shen shouted this during a break in the battle.

"..."

The tide of blood and flesh that was about to surge again stopped instantly, and Dracula spoke:

"What do you mean?"

"Your wife has been taken to a place in this mountain range by my companions. She will probably be there in a few days..."

Yi Shen looked at the time:

"In about an hour, she will be executed. A silver stake will be driven into her heart, and her head will be chopped off. This blasphemous and twisted life will die completely."

"No, you can't do this! She has never hurt anyone, not even a drop of human blood! You can't kill her!"

Dracula became excited instantly.

"Oh?"

Yi Shen raised his eyebrows, seeming to be very surprised by the news revealed by Dracula.

"I really don't believe that. She's been a vampire for over a hundred years, hasn't she? She's never sucked human blood once?"

"Yes, this was her insistence, and I couldn't bear to force her, so I had to bear the pain and seal her in an ice coffin in the hope of slowing down her blood-sucking urge."

Dracula tries to persuade Yi Shen:

"She is innocent. It is me and only me that you should attack!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

Yi Shen shrugged, looking nonchalant.

"I have now been separated from my teammates. No matter what you say to me, it will not change the decision that she is about to be executed."

Looking at Dracula who was about to burst into anger again, Yi Shen chuckled and continued:

"Of course, you still have another choice. That is to unleash all your strength here, use your 890,000 puppets to search the mountains, and find her from this mountain range within the next hour. I am alone, and I certainly can't stop you at that time, right?"

"..."

Dracula finally realized what the other party wanted to do.

The other party wanted to force him to open the "River of Death" and release all the "life" in his body!

At that time, he was both the strongest and the weakest - his lethality, destructive power, and even reconnaissance capabilities would reach an unprecedented level. An army of 890,000 zombies could easily destroy a city or even a small country. It would naturally not be difficult to find a person hiding in this mountain range.

However, he will also lose all his extra lives, leaving only his own vitality as "a vampire". As long as you can pierce his heart with a silver stake and cut off his head, you can truly kill him!

At this time, Dracula, who is not yet the future Akado, is unwilling to do so.

After all, he is no longer alone now, with his beloved wife always by his side. Although they can only see each other every ten or twenty years, he still has someone to care about, and he will not want to commit suicide because of the emptiness of eternal life.

But now, Yi Shen used his beloved wife, his only concern, as a threat, forcing him to choose between his lover and his own life safety.

Dracula didn't want to just do what the other party wanted, and secretly wanted to sense Minnie Harker's location - as a vampire transformed by him, theoretically no matter where she was taken, she could not escape his perception.

However, this time Dracula miscalculated.

He could not sense Minnie Harker's location. He could only vaguely sense that she was still alive and had not left the mountains, but he could not locate her whereabouts.

As for searching with bat familiars that have aerial reconnaissance capabilities, the time limit of a mere one hour is simply not enough to search the entire mountain range.

After a long silence, Dracula finally made his choice.

"Human, you win."

He stretched out his left hand, and a blood-red magic mark gradually emerged on the white glove.

[My name is the bird of Hermes, which bites its own wings to control my heart!]

Magical words came out of his mouth.

In the deepest part of the castle, a coffin slowly opened.

This is the coffin where Vlad III was buried, and it is also the place where Dracula, the vampire, was resurrected and born. Therefore, it has acquired a very important significance and in a sense can be regarded as the "half" of Dracula.

And when the coffin is fully opened, the countless "lives" sealed in Dracula's body will be released and transformed into entities, becoming a terrifying undead army!

Blood, countless blood, a huge amount of blood, flowed from the depths of the castle, from under Dracula's banner, from the dark shadows.

And in this seemingly endless sea of ​​blood, one figure after another emerged with dazed eyes and tears of blood.

There were Wallachian cavalrymen in full Western-style armor, Ottoman soldiers with cloth wrapped on their heads, and countless civilians in different clothes.

"Since you want me to display my full strength, then I will show it to you! Despicable human, let me see if you will drown in this sea of ​​the dead!"

Dracula, who was surrounded by a large army, said this loudly.

The next moment, this army of the dead, like a sea of ​​​​tidal waves, really turned into a literal "tsunami", spreading towards Yi Shen, towards the surroundings of the castle, and even towards the entire mountain range!

Chapter 106: Van Helsing's Diverse Learnings

Let's move forward in time a little bit.

Just when Yi Shen was trying his best to hold back Dracula, Van Helsing, Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai had reunited, as well as Minnie Harker who was sealed in ice.

At this moment, everyone was at the top of a mountain.

It can be seen that there are many stones placed around them in a special pattern, with runes engraved on the stones. Further out, there are small palm-sized flags inserted, and Taoist inscriptions are also engraved on the flags. These inscriptions together form the eight trigrams.

It was the familiar mixed formation again, but this time it was no longer a formation diagram carved on the ground, but was replaced by rune stones and Taoist formation flags.

"Are you sure Dracula won't find us if we stay in here?"

Sakurajima Mai asked.

"Of course I'm sure."

Van Helsing replied:

"Although Dracula will certainly use his connection with his bloodline to try to sense Minnie Harker's location, I've already mixed her aura with the dark curse of this land. No matter how hard Dracula tries, he can only sense the land itself. As for more direct physical reconnaissance, these flags around us are the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation' I learned from the East. It is said to have evolved from the Eight Diagrams created by the ancient Chinese Prime Minister Zhuge Liang. It has countless uses, and concealing our presence is a piece of cake!"

"..."

"..."

After hearing this, Yamasaki An and Sakurajima Mai felt a little strange.

He even knows about Zhuge Liang and the Eight Diagrams Formation... This Van Helsing is really too knowledgeable!

However, in the current situation, the more knowledgeable he is, the better news it is for their side.

After all, whether they can hide themselves well is related to whether Yi Shen’s plan can succeed. If there is a mistake in this regard, it will be difficult to destroy Dracula!

"But, is this Minnie Harker really the key to our defeat of Dracula?"

Mai Sakurajima was still a little worried.

"I believe him. Since he said so, he must be sure!"

Yamasaki An actually trusts Yi Shen very much, even to the point of blind faith.

"She really is something special."

Even Van Helsing nodded and said so.

"What's so special about it?"

Sakurajima Mai asked.

Yamasaki An also cast a curious look at her.

Looking at the two girls, Van Helsing explained:

"The special thing is that this female vampire doesn't seem to have ever sucked human blood. Her soul is still pure!"

"what?!"

"How can it be……!"

The two girls exclaimed in low voices.

This was really unexpected news for them.

"you sure?"

Sakurajima Mai asked to confirm.

"Of course I'm sure."

Van Helsing nodded.

"While mixing her aura with the curse of the earth, I discovered that her aura was incredibly pure. It was completely unlike the stench of chaos and decay that filled those of ordinary vampires."

"Doesn't this mean..."

Yamasaki An recalled the conversation between Yi Shen and Van Helsing in the castle in the small town.

"Yes, it's what you think."

Van Helsing seemed to see through her thoughts:

"Although Minnie Harker's body has become a vampire, her soul is still pure, and there is still hope for her to be restored to human form!"

"..."

Yamasaki An was silent for a moment, then continued:

"So if we want to restore her to human form, do we have to do the same as when we transformed her into a werewolf? Do we have to drain her blood and replace it with the blood of her blood relatives? But it's impossible for us to find her blood relatives now!"

"No, no, of course not."

Van Helsing shook his head repeatedly:

"Vampires and werewolves are completely different. You know, for a vampire, blood is soul, and soul is blood. Draining her blood is equivalent to draining her soul, and injecting someone else's blood is equivalent to mixing someone else's soul into it, turning her into a true vampire. If you want to restore her, you need to use other methods."

"What is the method? Can it be done in this environment?"

Sakurajima Mai asked from the side.

"Now? Here?"

Van Helsing looked around and shook his head.

"It's not impossible, and it doesn't take as long as exchanging blood for a werewolf. However, her aura is now intertwined with the earth. If we were to perform a reversal ritual on her, it would inevitably disrupt this state, allowing Dracula to detect our location."

"Is that so? Then we can only talk about it later..."

Mai Sakurajima shook her head regretfully and gave up the idea for the time being.

However, at this moment, Yamasaki An suddenly exclaimed:

"Look, there!"

Following the direction of her finger, several people saw that on a distant mountain, black and red "magma" suddenly gushed out like a volcanic eruption, and dissipated in all directions.

No, if you look closely, you will find that it is not magma at all, but a tide of the dead composed of countless zombies and huge amounts of blood!

"'Dead River' has been activated. It seems that the plan over there has been successful."

Sakurajima Mai's voice was very exciting.

“I didn’t expect it would actually work…”

Van Helsing murmured to himself.

In the previous conversation in the illusion, Yi Shen told him the method to defeat Dracula, which was to force him to release all the life in his body, and then kill Dracula who had lost the ability to resurrect in the midst of thousands of troops.

In order to do this, Minnie Harker, the person Dracula cares about most, must be kidnapped and used as a threat to force Dracula to do so.

Van Helsing had no doubt about the former point.

After he learned of Dracula's existence, he immediately realized that this was the only way to defeat Dracula except for destroying all of his 890,000 lives.

But he wasn't sure if he could force Dracula to release all his life force.
