Chapter 840: Dark Prison of Blood
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Elders Council of vampires of District 6 had entered an emergency state more than half a month ago.
A large number of high-tier vampires were gathered in the Elders Council.
Nate’s journey was smooth. He brought Fang Heng into the Elders Council through the teleportation pa.s.sage.
“Dark prison of blood is a special spatial region that only vampires can enter. Since ancient times, it has been used by the Elders Council to guard the prisoners of the vampires.”
“In the dark prison of blood, the strength of vampires will be partially weakened.”
On the way to the prison area below the Elders Council, Nate explained to Fang Heng in a low voice, “The dark prison of blood guards a large number of vampires who have committed crimes. Some of them have been locked up for more than ten thousand years. You have to be careful when you go in.”
More than ten thousand years? That long?
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
“I don’t know what the Elders Council is thinking either. They just throw the prisoners into the dark prison of blood and that’s it. They only interrogate them when they are needed. In short, the prisoners inside are very difficult to deal with.”
“According to Atina’s strength, even if a part of her strength is sealed, she is still very powerful. No one should dare to provoke her. She should be on the fifth floor.”
Fang Heng was puzzled and asked, “The fifth floor? What do you mean?”
“I’ve also heard that the dark prison of blood is divided into nine floors. Most prisoners live on the lower floors. The higher the level, the stronger the prisoners are.”
Fang Heng frowned and asked, “Even with the strength of the Marquis of the vampires, they can only stay on the fifth floor?”
Nate looked at Fang Heng suspiciously.
He felt that Fang Heng didn’t seem to be a vampire as he did not know much about vampires.
“Strength is one aspect. The internal structure of the vampires is all about seniority. In addition, the various clans of the vampires are grouped together. The older vampires have a higher say in the internal structure.”
As they spoke, Nate and the others went around in circles and arrived at a certain front hall on the second bas.e.m.e.nt of the Elders Council courtyard.
In the hall, many high-tier vampires cast questioning glances at Nate.
Nate gestured to Fang Heng. “He’s a special prisoner. We need to wait for the Elders Council’s order to lock him up in the dark prison of blood for a few days. I’ll come and bring him out then.”
Two high-tier vampires walked up and cast probing glances at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng had already put on a human skin mask and looked back fearlessly.
“Register first.”
Nate nodded and followed the high-tier vampires to register.
Fang Heng wore two metal wrist guards, one on his left and one on his right, under the surveillance of the two high-tier vampires.
There was a number engraved on the wrist guards.
F-39982.
“Go, behave yourself, and don’t cause trouble.”
Two high-tier vampires gave a warning and led Fang Heng into the bronze door behind the front hall.
Stepping into the hall behind the bronze door, Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and focused his gaze on the center of the hall.
A large-scale magic array was carved on the ceiling of the hall. The magic array slowly circulated.
Around twenty vampires sat in a circle on the ground. A bright red sharp crystal was floating in the middle of the magic array. The crystal was about half the height of a person.
A scarlet teleportation door gradually appeared in front of the crystal.
“Let’s go.”
The high-tier vampires beside Fang Heng pushed him.
Fang Heng looked at the crystal and thought, “This crystal seems to be quite valuable. When the time comes, we have to think of a way to bring it back.”
“Prisoner No. F-39982! What are you looking at?!” The high-tier vampires shouted.
The two high-tier vampires led Fang Heng to the portal and pushed Fang Heng into the dark prison of blood.
He felt dizzy due to weightlessness.
The game hint appeared on his retina.
[Hint: Bloodline verified. Player has entered the special area-dark prison of blood.]
[Hint: Player’s vampire bloodline’s additional attribute has been reduced by 50% in the current area.]
[Hint: You are affected by a special effect. You cannot use your simulated bat form.]
Fang Heng opened his eyes.
In front of him, a huge pyramid-shaped building was in sight.
The building was divided into several floors.
There was a gap in the middle of each floor.
The area on the bottom floor was the largest. One could clearly see a small number of vampires entrenched in the various layered areas.
Fang Heng looked around.
The world that had been opened up was not big. Other than the pyramid-shaped building in the center, the surrounding outer world was blocked by circles of red barriers.
Looking through the barriers, the outside world was nothing.
The entire area seemed to exist to seal the pyramid-shaped building.
“Dark prison of blood, prison…”
Fang Heng muttered softly.
At the teleportation portal, a high-tier vampire glanced at the report list and stared at Fang Heng. He said, “Newcomer, remember your number, F-39982.”
“Your position is in the temporary area on the lower level. Don’t cause trouble.”
The high-tier guard gave a warning and pointed at the area in front. “Go. There’s a place to stay inside. If your wrist guard senses anything, immediately come out and look for us. Don’t let us come in and look for you personally. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng nodded and walked toward the large pyramid-shaped building in front of him.
Marquis Atina had a n.o.ble ident.i.ty and was expected to be on the fourth floor. Therefore, he had to go to the fourth floor to look for her.
Usually, there were not many vampires who entered the dark prison of blood.
Many vampires who were entrenched on the first floor looked towards Fang Heng, who was walking towards them step by step.
“Newcomer? I’ve never seen you before.”
A vampire stood at the entrance of the pyramid and looked at Fang Heng. “Which clan are you from?”
Vampires had always held a higher opinion of clans. Most of them would form a clan unit.
“The hidden clan.”
Hearing Fang Heng’s answer, the vampires lost interest.
The hidden clan usually did not have any power.
“There’s no need to go in. The rooms inside are gone. Just find a place to rest outside.”
Fang Heng didn’t answer. He raised his head and looked up at the building.
“I want to go up and take a look.”
Hearing this, the surrounding vampires showed an interested look.
Vampires who could live in high-level buildings often represented their strength and status.
A vampire looked at Fang Heng again and realized that he was not joking. He chuckled and said, “Ha, interesting.”
As he said that, he moved aside and pointed at the central area. “Go straight ahead. The stone steps leading to the upper echelons are ahead. Please.”
Fang Heng’s gaze moved from the surrounding vampires and silently walked toward the upper echelons.
The low-level and mid-level vampires were all gathered at the bottom level.
The vampire who had blocked the way earlier spat at the side and said disdainfully, “Not only you, I also want to go up and take a look.”
After being trapped in this place for decades and centuries, most of the vampires were bored.
Seeing that there was someone who was oblivious and wanted to challenge the upper level, the other vampires became interested and followed behind Fang Heng to join in the fun.
Fang Heng walked along the pa.s.sage to the end and walked towards the second floor along the stone stairs.
Two vampires stood at the entrance of the stone stairs on the second floor.
They took out their short daggers at the same time and a.s.sumed a battle stance. They stared at Fang Heng with serious expressions.
