The rains began to fall throughout the region, drop by drop falling faster and faster, cleaning the ground of the blood spilled in regions still devastated by war.
For the main cities and large towns, they will have prevented and will have plans to mitigate the damage caused by torrential rains such as strong buildings, roof gutters, etc.
But for the small border villages, it is no more than a water hell. Floods, rockslides, and mud have left many people homeless and without supplies; With the roads full of mud and mud, the merchandise caravans can no longer reach the distant villages, they can only live on fruits, herbs, and a few rations of dried meat that they saved, but even collecting has been very difficult due to the rains and landslides, which has caused many victims.
Since then, the citizens of the small border villages have done everything to survive, but due to the atrocious rains, they unanimously have two options: either to stay and shelter in their homes, with the risk that they may collapse or remain. Without food; or go out to seek refuge in the nearest towns to get help.
Many decided on the first option since the towns were far away and the weather did not seem to have a calm time but worsened even more, but even so, at least they had a shelter and people with whom they could help each other in order of surviving; Those who left do not know if they arrived, but what is known is that it is very certain that they died on the way and if by some miracle they arrived, it is very difficult to find shelter or help a stranger; living in the streets synonymous with dying.
At the borders of a thick and leafy grove, the body of a girl was lying on the cold earth, after a few seconds her eyelashes tremble and she opens her eyes.
She shakes her head a little and begins to check the surroundings realizing that the sisters are gone.
"It seems that my assumption is correct, those powerful people were taken away by their powerful bloodlines." Long Xian Yu sits on the ground sweating.
Although these two people did not emit any aura or pressure, with their mere presence the old man emitted an overwhelming and frightening danger and the woman a coldness that froze the soul.
Despite Long Xian Yu's lineage of dampening spiritual fear, his alert instinct was at its highest.
"For now those two are no longer a problem, now I must find the road to return to the village." Long Xian Yu gets up, cleans her clothes a bit, and walks frantically to leave.
During the journey, he detects a peculiar aroma that is perceived in the air.
"Blood?" Long Xian Yu searches for the origin and runs quickly.
After a few seconds, he reaches where the caravan is, but this time he does not find anyone. Just big bloodstains on the floor, mantles, carriages, and boxes.
Not even the horses are there, just their footsteps.
"What happened here? Maybe those two people killed them, but why? " Long Xian Yu looks around wonderingly.
"Lamenting for the dead won't do any good, at least the resources are intact"
Long Xian Yu meticulously goes through all the wagons, boxes, and backpacks to collect the maximum of available resources that she can carry and use one of those backpacks to store them.
"Uhmm, I found toys in one of the boxes, I suppose some children will be sad" Long Xian Yu dressed in men's clothing and light armor. Her hair was tied in a ponytail so as not to disturb her.
"As I recall, the village is in that direction." Long Xian Yu quickly runs in the indicated direction.
During the journey, Long Xian Yu detects a scent and iron in the air.
"The village is at a far distance, but up to here, it smells the blood. How many people have died? " Long Xian Yu rushes in.
('That voice told me that there is someone important there in the form of an infant, I must hurry')
The scent of blood grows stronger and stronger and influences Long Xian Yu's instincts under the guise of crimson red eyes.
Long Xian Yu's lineage reacts to the scent of blood, the thicker the scent, the more the devouring instincts are activated and rationality diminishes. Although this can be suppressed to avoid problems.
The rain fell on the village which spread the blood throughout the land. The air was filled with moans of agony, pleas, and tears.
HELP ME! HELP ME!
PLEASE DO NOT AHHHHHGGGGG!
I DON'T WANT TO DIE, SOMEONE HELP ME!
But their pleas were ignored, the soldiers showed no mercy and killed without blinking.
Men, women, children, and the elderly; no one escaped cruelty and death.
The village was touched by the hand of cruel death.
The walls were stained with blood and flesh and the bodies lying on the cold, damp earth.
Some villagers still resisted despite the numerical difference and being dead because the escape routes were cut off, despite the courage these villagers demonstrated it was only a losing fight.
Armed with sticks, pitchforks, handles, and axes, they broke under the blows of swords. Slaughtered, stabbed from the front or from behind.
Non-combatants hid or tried to escape, but the enemy killed them mercilessly.
Long Xian Yu finds a route where only one soldier is watching.
"Previously, that mysterious voice recommended that I kill all the men and women that fed me. Now is the time to see what happens if I don't finish with them "
Long Xian Yu leaves her things in the treetops, then comes down and sneaks up with a knife towards the soldier who is drinking water from a canteen.
Long Xian Yu jumps up and clings to the soldier like a koala, immediately bites his neck, with her left hand covering his mouth, and with her right-hand stabs him with the knife to the throat.
The frenzied soldier moves from side to side, using his hands to free himself from the grip, but Long Xian Yu clings tightly and uses the knife to move him from side to side to further enlarge the wound and even stab in the chest.
("In the past time and, even so, the blood of men does not taste good at all, such as food about to be thrown away or emergency food")
Suck! Suck!
Long Xian Yu kept sucking the soldier's blood while continuing to stab to hasten death.
The soldier's struggles slowed down until he fell to the ground. His eyes were still open due to the terror and pain he endured.
Ah!
Long Xian Yu withdrew his fangs and stood up, using his sleeves to wipe the blood from his mouth.
Then she picks up the body and puts it in a place out of the sight of others.
"Now, to see what will happen." Long Xian Yu watches the lifeless body as he regains his strength.
After a few seconds, the inert body of the soldier begins to convulse.
AHN!
The body of the soldier emits the typical sounds of a zombie, he turns around showing his face to Long Xian Yu who can observe the changes that are happening to him.
His skin turned pale and putrid, his teeth changed to the sharp fangs of an animal, though the characteristic fangs lengthened; his eyes turned blood red, and his hands began to grow claws.
Long Xian Yu kept watching the soldier's transformation, maintaining her calm demeanor.
When the soldier finished convulsing, he stood up, showing his ugly and deformed face to Jiang Wushuang.
Long Xian Yu looks at the transformed soldier, but the information suddenly appears in his mind.
Ghoul
Transformation of a non-virgin man, he acquires great strength and resistance, immortality and they obey any type of order from his master in addition to being able to observe what the Ghoul sees; but it cannot evolve, it cannot heal itself, it does not possess vampiric abilities and no intelligence.
If a Ghoul bites another living being, male or female, virgin or non-virgin, it will become a Ghoul.
("So this is the result, with these characteristics, it can easily be used as cannon fodder")
The ghouls are only wild beasts for vampires, deformed beings because since they cannot be healed, their wounds remain. As they do not have intelligence, they cannot differentiate or judge, they only obey orders to the letter. Even if it has more strength and resistance than its original, it cannot evolve, this means that it can face stronger characters if the difference is not very great, if it is, it will not do anything to them, serving as a temporary distraction at most.
As he continued to observe, more information arose in his mind.
The transformation of a Ghoul into another Ghoul has its restrictions:
* A Ghoul can transform another being with just one bite, but it takes time, it can be higher or lower depending on the difference in level. He cannot transform into a Martial Artist or a Cultivator.
* A Ghoul Martial Artist can only transform another if his level or sublevel is higher and he has to suck all his blood.
* Only a True Vampire can transform a Cultivator and beings stronger than this into Ghouls.
"Wow, so I'll have to consider all this information for future encounters."
Long Xian Yu observes the situation and detects a very strong resonance in a distant house that has not yet been touched by the soldiers.
"It must be there, it seems that I must be a little cautious in my movements"
