Snowflakes are drifting, freezing over ten thousand miles.
Amidst the boundless white mountains, there stands a towering peak of peril.
And if you carefully identify it, you will find that it is actually a castle frozen by frost, just its size is too large, so it looks like a towering peak.
To know this is a creation that has existed for over four hundred years, it's hard to imagine how human labor could build such an imposing city under such conditions and times.
Zzzzzzzzz...
Among the strange buzzing sounds, the figures of Wu Xian and others gradually emerged from a stone monument covered in ice blocks.
It is located in the middle of the mountain, directly facing the stone gate of Xuexie Castle below, with steep cliffs on both sides, eternal ice stretching downwards along the path, until the edge of visionless abyss.
The last one to emerge from the stone tablet was Fan Haixin. He looked in surprise at the ice-encased castle ahead, then glanced behind him and reached out to touch the stone tablet, but was unable to pass through it as before.
It is obvious that this portal is one-way, and perhaps that is also the reason why the map was torn apart, because once someone comes to here through the portal, there is no way back.
Either defeat Dracula or be killed by him, there is no third choice.
......
Bang————!!!
In the roar, a gate of the frozen castle crashed open, chilling winds howled, and at the same time, it heralded the arrival of an unwelcome guest to this ancient castle.
Similar to the scenes in movies, the interior of the Blood Castle is not dark. A row of burning braziers is placed on the central path, and torches are also hung on the walls on both sides, providing illumination.
But at this moment, the gate has been broken, and the cold wind has put out some torches and braziers, filling the surroundings with a sense of darkness and foreboding, which is very in line with the stereotypical image of vampire lairs for ordinary people.
Wu Xian walked at the front of the group, his eyes emitting a golden glow that slowly flickered, discovering that the dark matter here was extremely concentrated, almost turned into liquid.
It can be imagined that in a cultivation world, this place would absolutely be a sacred place of cultivation that would make demons ecstatic. Even for humans, staying here for a long time would cause subtle changes in their bodies, making them more compatible with the dark attributes.
Of course, the environmental issue is secondary to what Wu Xian and the others are more concerned about. What really worries them is the countless silkworm cocoons hanging on the castle's roof, with black cables intertwined among them. Occasionally, thick green juice drops down, making the senior members of the Zhongzhou team unconsciously recall their experience in "Alien 1".
"These……are all Dracula's descendants?"
Fan Haixin was shocked beyond words. He had already known about Dracula's scheme from Edward (Zheng Zha) on his way to Romania. The latter wanted to use the speciality of the Frankenstein monster to awaken his descendants, thus forming an invincible army and conquering the entire world through science.
Initially, when hearing this news, Fan Haixin was surprised by Dracula's audacity. But now, seeing the number of silkworm cocoons, a cold sweat began to trickle down his forehead involuntarily.
After all, this is only the front hall, and there are so many silkworm cocoons here. If you calculate by the volume of this castle, it truly can be called an army of a thousand horses and ten thousand soldiers.
Moreover, with the power of vampires and their immortality, their actual strength far surpasses that of human armies. Once these vampire offspring successfully awaken, conquering the world is not just a pipe dream, but it is actually achievable.
However, to be honest, is Dracula a vampire or a cockroach possessed, why is he so able to breed, can his kidneys stand it?
"It doesn't matter if he's a vampire or a cockroach spirit, today he and all his offspring will die here."
Wu Xian said that, and was about to call on the others to continue forward, but at this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from behind.
A jolt went through everyone's heart, especially the members of Zhongzhou Team who had seen the movie. They seemed to have thought of something, hurriedly looked up at the silkworm cocoons above, and their expressions immediately changed.
As visible electric currents flowed, the enormous green caterpillars began to emit light one after another, and they produced a rhythmic sound like that of a heartbeat.
At the same time, Dan Yan and Wu Xian almost used their mental power scans simultaneously, and they could clearly feel that there was a faint will in the lifeless silkworm cocoons, which was constantly strengthening!
"Fuck! God, you are a beach child who doesn't play by the rules!"
Wu Xian cursed, ignoring the score deduction reminder in his mind, and his biological field erupted instantly. His whole body shot up like a rocket, crashing through the ceiling and soaring upwards.
......
At the top of the Blood Castle, a scientific laboratory filled with various instruments, an attractive man in an elegant suit was looking at the distant obese figure tightly bound to the chair ahead, his eyes bursting with incredible light.
Without a doubt, the handsome man is the owner of this Blood Castle—the vampire king, Count Dracula!
As Fan Haixin knew, Count Dracula had been thinking hard to bring countless descendants back to life and form an invincible army. For hundreds of years, he has been breeding everywhere while searching for related methods, but without any progress.
Until recently, a thing called science appeared in the world, giving him some hope. So he spent a lot of resources cultivating a group of scientists to research the technology of bringing the dead back to life for him.
Finally, a year ago, a scientist named Dr. Victor successfully brought a pile of pieced-together corpses back to life using the power of lightning, calling it the Frankenstein monster. He truly touched the power of God and created a new life.
According to the original plan, as long as the current was introduced into the Frankenstein monster's body, and his life force was transmitted through the connected cables to Dracula's countless descendants, the transformation from death to life could be completed.
Seeing his grand ambition about to be realized, Count Dracula was ecstatic beyond words. With a careless slip of the tongue, he revealed his true intention to conquer the world, killing Dr. Victor simultaneously to add to the excitement.
At the same time, upon seeing the man he regarded as his father, Victor, killed in such a manner, the Frankenstein monster, in a fit of rage, unleashed an unimaginable amount of power and pushed Count Dracula back, then fled with Victor's body.
In the end, he was burned to death by the villagers who had heard the news and did not resist at all, even choosing to commit suicide rather than allowing the villainous plan of his father's murderer to succeed.
Unlike the plot in the movie, the Frankenstein monster was really dead this time, with no scenes of surviving by chance. Even his ashes were scattered away.
Count Dracula was extremely angry about this. After killing those villagers, he gathered another group of scientists to try and replicate a new Frankenstein monster based on the data left by Dr. Victor, but he never succeeded.
Until two and a half months ago, he learned from somewhere that a group of strange humans had appeared in Europe.
They were not from this world, unbound by the rules of this world. If their bodies could be used to make a Frankenstein monster, there would be a high chance of success.
Count Dracula was very wary of that entity, but out of a principle of giving it a try, he quietly left Romania and found the group, then followed them discreetly in preparation for the right moment to strike.
Who would have thought that not long after, Count Dracula discovered that three of them suddenly left the group and stayed in a small town, so he directly dealt with them and brought them back to the Blood Castle.
Indeed, as the existence had said, the genes of these outsiders were very special. They looked ordinary but had infinite potential. He only took the strongest one among them as an experimental subject for the Frankenstein monster and succeeded at one go.
Now, all he had to do was wait for the power of lightning to be introduced into the new Frankenstein's body, and then Dracula's descendants could be resurrected, and the invincible army could truly descend upon this world.
Of course, this was just the first step. The newly born vampire offspring were of average strength and far from meeting his requirements. Only by constantly feeding on blood could they evolve into an invincible army capable of conquering the world.
Count Dracula had already made his plans: the first target was Transylvania, to avenge his three vampire brides, then to sweep across all of Romania, and finally Europe, and ultimately the whole world.
"Ha ha ha————!!!!"
Thinking about this, Count Dracula couldn't help but laugh out loud, just like the actor who played Sir Hu of Chow in the neighboring set, he was just about to shout "when will I get what I wish for," and with that.
Booming!!
Thunder claps resounded with a loud and furious roar, but at this moment, Count Dracula felt it was particularly enjoyable. He lifted his hand and held up a glass of red wine on the experimental table, smiling as he awaited the resurrection of his army.
However, at this moment, a strong warning sign surged through his mind, causing him to unconsciously drop the glass and spill out all the red wine.
Booming————
Another loud thunder clap rang out, but there seemed to be a slight difference from before.
Count Dracula didn't have time to think, as he felt an intense pain in his chin and then was flung into the sky along with the flying roof of the room……
