Chapter 220: Unable to defeat, invite to join
The source of the blood sacrifice organization is the survivors of the blood clan from the period of the Forty-Four Pillar Gods. That is the origin race of the "Blood" Pillar Bradulela, and therefore it enjoyed a period of glory.
But as the Pillar God period passed, humans rose and the major races weakened.
The vampires are looking for ways to survive in human society.
They changed their appearance from generation to generation, reduced their own nature, intermarried with humans and produced offspring to dilute their bloodline, which is how they were able to survive.
However, according to the call hidden in the blood of the vampires, they also have the mission of finding the lost Pillar of "Blood".
Whether it is awakening Bradulela or supporting a new blood king, this mission cannot be escaped no matter how the bloodline is diluted.
This is the will left by the Blood King.
Blood is a symbol of inheritance. Bradulela has a morbid desire for the inheritance of his own blood. It is said that when this Pillar God existed, he was also obsessed with blending his blood with the various races, and was regarded as a complete lunatic by other Pillar Gods.
The arrival of the chaotic times of wandering gods disrupted the arrangements of the blood clan's survivors. In the chaotic era, a large number of descendants were lost, and most of them completely disappeared in the long river of the history of the dream world.
The remaining descendants acted boldly, taking advantage of the chaos when humans had no time to care about other things, they gathered their strength, persuaded some of the desperate people in the troubled times, provided them with shelter and the power of blood, and then set up the first "blood sacrifice".
They chased after powerful blood to fill their weak bodies and increase their strength.
Most of the people who participate in the blood sacrifice come here in pursuit of power. Although they will be engraved with blood and restricted when they join, most of the desperate people who are eager for the blood sacrifice do not care much.
If one draws strength from blood repeatedly, he will gradually become lost, his humanity will diminish, and gradually, for the sake of the power of blood, he may even stop caring about his own life.
The road to finding the Pillar of Blood is long, but that is the nature of the blood sacrifice organization.
"If I join, will I be engraved with a blood mark?"
"That kind of thing is useless against you who can easily defeat the Bone and Blood Beast. That is the trick of the Source of Bone and Blood. What I am doing now is just to stop the loss and win you over." Barolan answered bluntly.
"Are you a vampire?" An asked.
"I am a descendant of the vampire clan, a descendant of the branch that established the blood sacrifice. There is not much vampire blood left in my body. But the mark of that king is too strong. I wanted to leave the blood sacrifice and stay away from the disputes, but I couldn't do it." Barolan's expression was a little gloomy, but she adjusted herself quickly.
No wonder her aura feels different from that of other people.
"Is there a parade of gods in the blood sacrifice?" An asked what he was more concerned about.
Barolan nodded: "'Source of Bone and Blood' is with one of our Blood Sirens. Its main body should be on its way to 'Xuan Shang' now."
"Why do you want to go to 'Xuan Shang'?"
"We have been tracking down the ancient country of Xuanshang, which is said to have inherited the miracle of Qi, and we have made some progress in the past few years. According to recent information, the Pillar of Blood is most likely in Xuanshang." Barolan answered every question and her attitude was as good as a highly rated customer service representative.
Anti had almost made up his mind, but seeing Barolan like this, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid of inviting a wolf into the house?"
"If that's the case, can you...can you, a wolf, swallow the flesh and blood of all of us?" Barolan asked calmly.
"...Well, it's hard to say whether I can swallow it or not, but I am a dog, not a wolf." But Anti's focus on this sentence was strange.
Barolan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why anyone would be willing to speak in a low light.
But what does Antioch mean?
"I agreed to join, so I am now the 'Blood Master' on your side?" Anti asked with his head tilted.
Barolan bowed slightly: "Welcome, the new Blood Master."
"You are Si Xue as well, right? So we are colleagues. There is no need to be so formal."
"I'm trying to please you by not killing me, so please let me do this." Barolan answered bluntly and honestly.
"...Okay." Anti was a little confused.
The induction ceremony was very simple. Barolan took out a drop of blood. After Night Eyes looked at it, they found that it was some kind of miracle prop that could communicate and send signals through blood.
After watching Barolan inform the public in a concise manner that a new blood-controller had joined the group, there were some confused and puzzled reactions coming from the drop of blood.
But Barolan only notified unilaterally and ended the contact directly.
"Don't you need to explain the vote to everyone?" Anti couldn't help but ask.
Such casualness would make him feel like he was being tricked into joining some makeshift troupe.
Even if the team is any more shabby than the "Anti Live Startup Company", it seems that they can only survive by relying on the boss's tips.
"No need. Although we, the descendants of the blood clan, cannot be said to have the final say in blood sacrifices, it is still okay for us to make such a small decision." Barolan answered simply.
So Anti formally joined an underground force and became a cadre as soon as he came in.
Afterwards, Anti asked about her arrangements in Lokidu with the sacrificial blood.
In fact, this group of people who sacrificed blood came here to serve as mercenaries.
The entire blood sacrifice has recently been in preparation for the long journey to Xuanshang. Barolan, a loser, would delay as much as possible and find something to do for himself.
This is not the first time that Blood Sacrifice has come to Dragon's Breath Basin.
After all, the blood of Asian dragons can also extract considerable power, and blood sacrifices have been used to "pluck dragon scales." But I have never touched the tiger's butt in Luoqidu.
Although the Blood Sacrifice Organization was warned and labeled as a dangerous underground organization, a big reason why it did not become as popular as the Night Chaser Church was that they were relatively cautious in their actions and did not go against everyone.
The source of the commission this time from Dragon's Breath Basin was the "Tribal Union" in Dragon's Breath Basin who wanted to deal with Lokidu.
It was an alliance formed by a group of underdeveloped tribal forces in the Dragon Breath Basin who came together to keep each other warm.
Although its development is lagging behind, it has great ambitions. Recently, some capable people have emerged, leading to the growth of its power. They plan to reverse the situation by taking advantage of the recent news about the "dragon" pillar in the Dragon's Breath Basin.
They didn't even know where they got the news about the dragon corpse parasites, and they used these parasites with the power of rotten blood to persuade Barolan.
The specific action here is to sneak into the breeding valley, use the power of qi and blood to stimulate the dragon corpse parasites underground, and cause trouble and sabotage for Rocky.
All that remains is to slowly collect the parasites yourself.
Barolan conducted research and discovered that these parasites are actually closely related to the "Rotten Blood", a powerful wandering god that was recorded in the chaotic world of wandering gods.
It is even very likely a hereditary relationship.
Therefore, the refinement work was carried out simultaneously with the research.
Originally, Barolan planned to evacuate after the extraction of the rotten blood was completed, but ended up facing the ultimate surprise of Anti.
Months of preparation all went in vain.
But it's not a big problem. Barolan can now comfort himself by saying that he has recruited the mysterious existence Anti.
After all, the Rotten Blood may not be as powerful as Anti, right?
Anti was taken by Barolan to visit this hidden base like an inspecting leader.
Nothing fancy though.
However, in a prison where the dragon species secretly captured for blood sacrifice were held, Anti discovered Handilon, who had disappeared after entering the stronghold.
Although Handilon did not show up and just peeked silently from the side, Barolan seemed to have noticed Handilon under the cover of space.
After being explained by Anti, he looked at Anti with strange eyes.
"Anyway, this is roughly what we have right now. Next we plan to evacuate directly. There is no reason to stay here any longer. The work done by the Tribal Union during this period is more than enough to explain." Barolan said after showing Anti around.
After thinking for a while, Anti said, "Stay here until this matter is over."
Barolan didn't think much about it: "Okay."
Suddenly, there was a violent vibration.
Barolan was stunned for a moment, his face changed slightly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Anti. Our base was attacked from outside. It might be because the fighting between you and the Bone Blood Beast made too much noise and was exposed."
Anti always felt that Barolan was secretly putting the blame on him.
People who are cadres are really good at this.
"Are there many people?"
Barolan hesitated and said, "To be honest, the bloodline sensor I set up didn't detect where the attack came from."
Anti:?
After confirming that Barolan was really confused and not having any ulterior motives, Anti said, "I'll go out and take a look."
……
He came out through the secret exit and stood in the open space looking around.
Where are the enemies?
"Mr. Anti? Are you okay?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came.
Then, without any warning, a young man named Polyvis, whom Anti had met once at the breeding base, appeared about ten meters away from him.
None of Anti's sensing abilities could detect the other party's appearance.
After being slightly surprised, I didn't care too much.
After all, he is a wandering god in human form, so how can he survive without some skills?
but……
"You? What are you doing here?"
"I came to find you. I heard from the friend who came with you that you disappeared in the Breeding Valley. I'm sorry that your misfortune was caused by our negligence, and we couldn't even spare the manpower to look for you, so I came to find you in person, and have been looking for you for several days." Polyvis said with a hearty and polite smile.
Anti was hesitant to speak.
Brother, you are really sincere.
What could be more sincere than a traveling god coming to find someone in person?
Pillar God?
