Chapter 634: Chapter 357: Setting Out Again, Blood Sea (Double-Length)
Hoo—
The Gelin completely broke through the boundary of the mist, and the ship appeared in the Blood Sea.
What unfolded before everyone’s eyes was the crimson sea surface and the dim, yellowish sky, making it difficult to breathe, accompanied by a sense of inexplicable fear.
"Blood Sea, we’ve arrived..."
Hudson muttered to himself, squinting his eyes, his scarlet pupils emitting a cold glint.
He must drag that damned vampire to hell with endless pain!
"The red sea..." Mira was a little surprised, frowning slightly, "This place is called the Blood Sea, so is what’s in the sea all blood?"
"No."
"At least it won’t be fresh blood."
Before everyone could ponder, Hudson shook his head, answering her question.
However, when everyone turned their gaze to him, expecting his continuation, he appeared a bit puzzled.
"Why are you all looking at me?"
Everyone was at a loss for words, looking at you, waiting for you to explain why it’s not.
But Hudson was obviously just espousing his own opinion, with no intention of explaining further.
Fortunately, Rogel understood Hudson’s nature, shook his head, withdrew his spiritual power of exploration, and also explained to everyone.
"I should say, not everything in the sea is blood."
"The blood of a dead guy once flowed into this sea, dyeing the water red, giving it the characteristics of blood, but in essence, it’s still seawater."
Rogel’s spiritual power naturally allowed him to quickly ascertain the composition of this seawater, and he also used parts of the power of faith combined with abilities from giant dragon inheritance for inference, finally reaching a conclusion.
However, regarding that "dead guy," he did not continue further inference.
That would require consuming more power of faith.
Upon hearing this, everyone was lost in thought.
"We might have to visit the imperial city of this Blood Race Realm." Rogel spoke, clearly he had conducted an inference: "The guy Hudson is looking for is there."
He could certainly go directly to find the entrance to the Five Great Seas.
But since they had already come to the Blood Sea, it was just as well to help Hudson deal with his enemy.
At the same time, they could also take a look at the unique scenery of the Blood Sea.
"The imperial city... Are you confident?"
Hudson frowned slightly; having been to the Blood Sea once, he was certainly aware of its horrors.
And he was not very clear about Rogel’s strength, so he felt uneasy.
"I don’t mind if I die, but you guys..."
Upon saying this, Hudson looked at Rogel with a serious expression: "If you’re not confident, don’t take risks with me."
Rogel interrupted by raising his hand: "Alright, don’t worry, no need to say more."
He, the Master of the Black Tide, the Angel of Silence, in the Blood Sea, if not walking freely, at least unobstructed.
Seeing his reaction, Hudson could only shut his mouth and stop discouraging.
Soon, under Rogel’s guidance, the Gelin headed toward the central area of the Blood Sea...
On the way, the crew also observed the surrounding environment.
Meanwhile, Rogel, for the first time in a long while, picked up the fishing rod.
The Blood Sea, all filled with the blood-colored sea! As an avid fisherman, if he didn’t take the bait, he really would feel sorry for himself.
...
Alright, although Rogel didn’t come up empty-handed, he didn’t catch anything interesting either.
The seawater still contained the usual marine life, albeit with some mutations—either carrying a bit of blood streaks or some patterns, but in essence, they were still ordinary creatures.
The Gelin wasn’t slow.
While the group engaged in casual chatter, the first small island soon appeared on the horizon ahead.
But the Gelin had no intention of stopping there.
They were merely passing by.
Rogel, however, spread his spiritual power and soon learned the situation on the island.
Even though they didn’t plan to go ashore, he could use this to enhance his understanding of the Blood Sea.
But soon, he frowned.
On this island, there was a small village composed of ordinary vampires.
But their appearance was astonishing.
They were as skinny as corpses, with skin pale as snow, hollow and numb eyes in their sunken eye sockets, like walking dead.
One of the vampires went to a sheep pen, bit into a sheep’s neck, and after the fangs sucked the blood, he seemed slightly better.
During this process, the sheep in the pen were very compliant, not resisting, as if long accustomed.
The vampire reluctantly let go of the sheep, wiped his mouth, and swallowed the bloodstain together.
Clearly, he hadn’t drunk his fill, but didn’t dare to take more blood from the sheep.
This image appeared miserably pathetic, even evoking sympathy.
Such an image indeed differed from Rogel’s impression of the Blood Race.
Shaking his head, Rogel withdrew his spiritual power.
Even though the scene felt somewhat off, given that vampires had formed a realm, such a scenario might also be within reason...
"Hudson, Blood Race feeds on blood, right?"
"Yes."
"Then, to the Blood Race, is there a difference between animal blood and human blood?"
"There is." Hudson nodded, then said: "Human blood is more favored by vampires."
More favored...
Rogel thought to himself; in his view, there might be a reason for this.
...
The Gelin was headed toward the imperial city of the Blood Sea.
Initially, due to the remote location, nothing else could be seen around.
But as the Gelin progressed, they finally encountered a boat.
However, it was a pirate ship.
And it was a vampire pirate ship.
The two ships were originally just passing by each other, and it seemed the vampires on the pirate ship had no intention of attacking Rogel and his crew.
"Strange, this ship didn’t steer clear when seeing us, they’re quite bold."
A vampire lookout was puzzled, then picked up a telescope and looked.
Upon looking, his pupils shrank instantly, his brain going blank for a moment.
Then he jumped down, shouting: "Damn it, get up! Don’t let that ship next to us run away!"
Some vampire pirates were about to curse but upon hearing his next words, they bristled.
"There are humans on that ship!!!"
Upon hearing the word "humans," the vampire pirates seemed invigorated, their eyes gleaming with intensified bloodlust and greed almost made manifest.
"What’s with the yelling?"
The vampire pirate captain emerged, frowning.
"Captain, there are humans on that ship! Living humans!"
"I heard, I’m not deaf." The vampire captain snorted, yanking the telescope from his hand: "... What are you getting excited for, they’re probably just pets of those high tier Blood Race..."
"... Hmm?"
Initially, he held no hope, but when he clearly saw the other ship, he was astonished.
"They’re really humans..."
"To encounter humans in this place!"
Then, an indescribable excitement and thrill flashed in his eyes, his body seeming slightly inflated.
"Boys, with me!"
"Roar—"
After emitting a bloodthirsty roar, this vampire pirate captain’s pupils filled with richer blood color, his fangs grew longer, and a pair of bat-like bloody wings unfurled from his back.
The vampire pirates behind him were even more excited.
But, unlike the vampire pirate captain, they lacked flying ability, having to restrain their agitation to handle the cannons or guns.
Like sharks scenting blood, the allure of living humans to vampires far surpasses the general pirates’ greed for gold coins.
To some extent, it could even cause some of the Blood Race to lose rational thought.
This vampire captain was no exception.
Initially, he had concerns, thinking this might be a high tier Blood Race’s ship.
But seeing the Gelin without any Blood Race, nor any high tier Blood Race symbols, his bloodlust immediately overpowered his rationality.
