Chapter 211: Blood Vault Area
After passing through the empty Hundred-Armed Giant Graveyard area, Gu Xi and his crew reached the edge of the Hundred-Armed Giant Graveyard area.
Here, the ground rapidly sank, and broken steps and moss-covered green bricks bore dark red marks.
Standing at the edge corridor and looking down, one would see thick blood mist spreading over the sunken land.
Gu Xi's evil coffin just stopped, and Shaya and Dimmy appeared quickly.
Dimmy sniffed with her nose, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.
"Poisoned blood, boring."
Although Dimmy said this, her gaze remained fixed on the blood vault area in front of her.
Looking down, all the buildings in the blood vault area were constructed around a central cross-shaped building.
That cross-shaped building resembled a small European manor house made of bluestone. Under the blood mist, it looked rather gloomy.
Outside the building, there were numerous vines, giving it an impression of being old and dilapidated.
On both sides of the manor, there was a filthy blood pool and a garden full of blood-red fruits. When the wind blew through the garden, one could hear the fruits giggling.
"Let's go down and take a look."
Gu Xi patted the evil coffin, which took him down. His subordinates also quickly jumped down, following him.
Upon landing in the blood vault, the first thing Gu Xi noticed was the vampire statue by the roadside.
It was more of an anatomical doll of a vampire, displaying its skin, muscles, organs, and bones.
At the same time, Gu Xi noticed many vampire corpses hanging by the roadside, each with peach wood or silver stakes driven through them.
When Gu Xi approached, these obviously dead vampires opened their eyes, their gaze following him.
Faced with this situation, Gu Xi was speechless.
What is this?
Background props? Or built-in auxiliary buildings?
Fortunately, there were not many vampires nailed by the roadside. Soon, Gu Xi saw the road leading to the vampire mansion.
The road was also paved with bluestone slabs, with carvings of vampire and vampire hunter weapons on them.
It was evident that this indicated the vampires trained in the mansion ahead knew how to fight.
When Gu Xi and his team arrived at the vampire mansion, they found the gate already open. Several men in chain mail, wearing black cloaks and holding two-handed swords, stood at the entrance, waiting for Gu Xi.
However, Gu Xi noticed a throne made of countless bats placed by the fountain in front of the mansion. The water from the fountain poured over the throne, turning into blood and flowing into the pool.
Before Gu Xi could say anything, Dimmy stepped forward into the fountain, reaching out to touch the throne.
Gu Xi turned to Dimmy, "What, do you want it?"
"Ah, no, it's not that."
Dimmy was a bit embarrassed. The blood throne had a certain attraction to her, but it wasn't necessary for her.
She didn't know why she stepped up when she saw the blood throne.
Dimmy awkwardly looked at Gu Xi.
Gu Xi didn't mind. He waved to Dimmy, saying, "It's okay. We'll be here for a while. You can continue."
Dimmy, blushing, lost her previous noblewoman's demeanor, lowered her head, and followed Gu Xi.
At this moment, Gu Xi turned his attention to the men standing at the gate.
He noticed that besides the two-handed swords, they also had silver badges.
He was puzzled for a moment, then understood. Gu Xi took a badge and pinned it to the man's chest.
Instantly, the man's aura increased significantly.
At the same time, green blood appeared on his sword.
This indicated that the man's strength had been enhanced upon receiving the badge.
"Thank you, sir."
The man bowed to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi was taken aback, then smiled.
For the first time, Gu Xi heard a soldier speak.
"Vampire knight?"
Gu Xi asked.
"Yes, once you wear the badge, you become a vampire knight. Before recruitment, the cost increases. After recruitment, it requires sufficient experience to wear it."
The vampire knight answered seriously, his response a bit stiff, unlike Dimmy's flexibility.
This didn't surprise Gu Xi. After all, they were soldiers, not leaders.
"Then put them all on. Combat experience can grow in battle, but levels should be prioritized."
Gu Xi didn't want to drag these vampires around. It was simpler to level up first and then gain combat experience.
No need to delay for a bit of negative energy.
Hearing Gu Xi's words, all the men at the gate smiled.
Without needing Gu Xi's help, they pinned the badges on their chests.
Once all the vampires were promoted to vampire knights, Gu Xi recruited them all.
Then Gu Xi glanced at Dimmy, who was looking at the sky. Before the three large buildings were completed, Dimmy couldn't lead the team in battle.
"Shaya, you take these vampires first. They should be agility types, right?"
When asking this, Gu Xi looked at the vampire knights, waiting for their answer.
"Yes." Unexpectedly, Dimmy spoke, "Their movement is similar to teleportation but shorter. They can teleport behind enemies.
But their weapons are unsuitable for assassins.
After teleporting, direct slashing is best."
As a potential leader, Dimmy knew her three units well.
A glance was enough for her to understand the use of these vampire knights.
Shaya was stunned, then thanked Dimmy.
Without Dimmy's tip, Shaya could still control the vampires, but it would take considerable time to get familiar with them.
With Dimmy's reminder, she could control everything in the shortest time.
Anyway, Dimmy's words deserved Shaya's thanks.
At this time, Gu Xi had finished exploring the bloody garden beside the vampire mansion. After checking the bat cave near the blood vault's edge, he returned to the vampire mansion's front door.
