Crimson City Vlad——

Dracula clenched his fists. This handsome man, who had always been filled with aristocratic aura, was gradually weakening and shrinking at a speed that could be judged by the naked eye.

In front of him was Elizabeth suspended in a blue liquid. Dozens of thin tubes carrying nutrient solution were inserted into the girl's body at the moment, and she also wore a breathing mask on her face. The girl's face was as calm and gentle as an angel, but occasionally

Suddenly, a crazy and extremely abnormal feeling emerged.

It was the Scarlet Praise, or the backlash of the bloodline power of the Bloody Journey. Floating in it was Dracula's favorite daughter Elizabeth.

That kind of blue liquid can barely suppress the explosion of the Scarlet Praise, preventing Elizabeth from losing her mind and turning into a bloodthirsty demon. This is already the limit of what the Ampesetta family can achieve. According to the family's history of more than a thousand years

Experience... The general outbreak of demonic power in this bloodline should be unsolvable, and those who are swallowed up by the power will eventually fall into the abyss of madness quickly.

Why? Why is it Elizabeth? Why does this curse in the bloodline always haunt the Ampesetta family? What uncontrollable things did the ancestors crave for power?

First his sister Isabella, and now his daughter Elizabeth... Enough, really enough! Is there something sleeping in the blood that can't just be directed at you?

Elizabeth...if it weren't for the potion formula provided by Xiao Yao, Elizabeth would have already degenerated into a bloodthirsty demon.

This is also the reason why Dracula temporarily spared the kid's life... Xiao Yao said that this potion is a special medicine used by a certain civilization to suppress companions who have been corrupted by the power of the old gods, but it only affects Elizabeth's current situation.

It may be treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Xiao Yao also promised to find a way to cure Elizabeth.

Dracula never imagined that Elizabeth would just go on an ordinary mission and come back the same as her sister at that time.

Be it anger or hatred... it's useless to vent your emotions. Even if you tear Xiao Yao's hand off, Elizabeth's situation will not get better... and it may even get worse.

Moreover, although Dracula was venting his anger on Xiao Yao, he also knew in his heart that this matter was not entirely Xiao Yao's responsibility.

Dracula walked around the room anxiously: "There is no way... It may be too late for Xiao Yao to find a way to cure him... Do I have to..."

The father was talking to himself angrily, and from time to time he plucked his hair with his hands, as if he was having a very difficult ideological struggle.

Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind and slammed his fist into the palm of his hand. Dracula adjusted his excitement, raised his head and took a deep look at his daughter who was still sleeping: "Good daughter, please be patient a little longer, Dad.

I will definitely save you."

He pushed open the door and strode outside, startling Senior who just came to visit his sister outside the door.

"Father...what are you going to do?" Senior asked strangely. As far as he knew, his father had not gone anywhere in the past few days. He had been guarding his daughter for fear that her daughter's symptoms would worsen.

.

"You came at the right time. You need at least two people to open the door of the underground mechanical city, so I will go find you." Dracula said without looking back, "Come on, follow me."

"Underground Mechanical City?" Senior's face turned pale. That mysterious place... He had only been there once or twice when he was a child, and each time was an experience he didn't want to recall. "Could it be...

...In order to solve the bloodline problem on your sister, you want to find...the ancestors?"

"Ancestor... yes, I want to go to the ancestor. There is a saying in the East... to untie the bell, you must tie the bell. The ancestor must have a way!" Dracula said through gritted teeth.

But...even if the ancestors had a way, would they tell themselves?

The so-called ancestor is just a customary term used by the Ampeseta family. That existence... has existed for an unknown number of eras, and has seen the rise and fall of many eras. He is like a god from the most ancient times... He

He just lives here temporarily, he never belongs here.

Dracula recalled the scene when he and his sister met their ancestors for the first time. The person whose face was featureless and whose gender could not even be identified gave him a stiff smile——

"Who am I, you ask? I have had countless names in countless epochs... Gaia, Messiah, Odin, Brahma, Satan... Yes, you can call me Cain, at least for more than a thousand years

Come on, people of your clan have always called me that."

Cain...the ancestor of vampires, the ancestors of Ampeseta put this name on that man's head out of reverence - even though they knew that this name was far from worthy of that man's greatness. That man, he was

The origin of the Ambeseta family is also the god who personally planted the curse in the blood of the Ambeseta family.

…

The door of the underground city rumbled open, and a gust of wind blew from the deep underground, lingering with the smell of old metal. Even just standing at the entrance, you can feel a kind of shock from the heart——

Towering trees grew from the rotting corpses.

Yes, this underground city brings this bizarre association to everyone who sees it.

Senior followed his father's footsteps and walked into the tall metal door. The door closed slowly after they walked in. The dull collision sound when closing gave people the illusion of being sealed here forever.

"Huh..." Senior uttered a syllable softly. Although he knew that the person would not lock them here forever, he still trembled from the depths of his heart when the heavy door behind him automatically closed.

.

With the closing of the metal door, all light from the outside world was blocked out. However, this underground mechanical city did not become dark because of this. Bright and somewhat dazzling white lights lit up one by one, illuminating the road.

To the end of sight.

"Be careful, follow the direction of the light...if you don't want to be squeezed into a square piece of meat." Dracula reminded softly.

Senior hummed softly, and both of them kept their voices very low, as if they were afraid that the sound would be too loud and wake up some ancient monster.

Cain was quite friendly to the people of the Ampeseta family. Whenever the head of the family or other people in need wanted to see him, he would light up a light to illuminate a road leading to where he was...

…It’s just that the illuminated path is different every time. The Ampesetta family spent a lot of energy and failed to draw a map of this mechanical dungeon.

Even when someone wants to leave the knowledge of lights and explore the dungeon on their own...

No one knows what happened to those ignorant guys in the mechanical dungeon. They only know that they suddenly appeared in front of the Ampesetta family's mansion the next day. Two of them went crazy, and the others were unknown.

What force squeezed it into a piece of meat that was one cubic meter in size... Moreover, this piece of meat was still calling for help for a while - they didn't die immediately!

Of course, this can't be saved.

Those crazy people have been muttering to themselves: fog...machine...god...ultimate...destruction...I can't figure out the logic in it, but occasionally a few very sudden words make people feel...

Have to be more vigilant.

Since then, the people of the Ampesetta family have completely given up their confidence and continued to explore the underground mechanical city. After all, they already know... that it is an existence that no one can compete with. Regarding the structure of this underground city, they only know roughly its structure.

It looks like a giant squid, and... its technology is far beyond the reach of human civilization.

Having walked far away from the underground machine city, I could see that the ground beneath my feet was made of smooth metal, and fluorescent pipes were above my head. I don’t know what kind of liquid or gas was transported. They seemed to be walking through the blood vessels of an ancient creature.

Here, when you look up, you can see the blood flowing with the heavy breathing.

Occasionally when passing a corner, you can see a huge open space with no lights. Extraordinary people can only rely on the lights spreading in the corridor to vaguely see some huge silhouettes... like giants with sharp claws.

The beast is sleeping.

Sometimes I walk through a road surrounded by transparent glass. Under my feet are rumbling machines, swallowing up the rolling magma and gravel. The surrounding grid-like structures are flashing with jumping arc lights, making the corridor originally look like a blur.

It was overshadowed by the bright lights.

Senior imagined how many ways he would die if there was no glass passage under his feet. He lost interest after counting. There were too many. It would be too easy to kill him in this mechanical city. Even if

The same goes for having a father who is an deviant - among other things, if this passage is closed and tens of thousands of tons of metal are pressed down, the gods will have to finish it.

This is also the reason why the Ampeseta family has such a motto for generations - never, never be enemies with the ancestors!

It is not difficult to understand, because this is not a problem that cannot be defeated, but that it is impossible to defeat at all. All members of the Ampeseta family combined are not at the same level as the opponent.

The two of them were still moving forward, and the empty corridor echoed with the monotonous footsteps, which was a little breathtaking. Senior couldn't help but break the silence: "It seems a bit far this time... How long will it take before we can see our ancestors."

Dracula shook his head: "Child, you are wrong, we have seen our ancestors a long time ago... and we even stay with our ancestors now."

Senior was stunned for a moment, and then he was relieved. He had forgotten something.

Yes, the human-shaped projection is not Cain, this city is Cain.
