Chapter 42 – Earl: Why is your head growing grass?
In an instant, over a dozen goblins had been sucked dry.
"Hehe, Captain, you're too ruthless! Draining those goblins so dry and so fast!"
A bat couldn't help but comment.
The red-fanged bat rolled its eyes at him, "Hurry up and suck, there's nothing interesting here. Let's get those three hundred gold coins quickly."
They had hoped to suck the blood of a Goblin Overlord or something similar.
But what they found was just a bunch of Great Types, with very few high-level ones.
Under the cover of night, death continued to descend.
No one noticed a thing.
The entire cave remained eerily silent.
Lin Tian was sleeping in a small separate cave, with Goblin Moon, Leah, Cassandra, and Ifreya beside him.
A bat cautiously approached, and upon seeing humans and elves, couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
Thinking, "In such a remote place, quietly sucking some human blood shouldn't be a problem, right?"
They were bound by the Adventurers' Guild's rule against sucking human blood.
Even if they killed someone, they couldn't suck their blood if they wanted to maintain their status in the Lionheart Empire.
So these vampires became adventurers to earn money to buy blood.
The bat looked at Ifreya's incredibly fair neck and couldn't resist, "Money is hard to earn, and shit is hard to eat. In a place like this, no one will find out if I suck a little blood!"
Driven by his bloodthirsty desire.
He couldn't hold back and bit down.
As his fangs pierced that tofu-like tender neck, instantly!
A burst of holy light exploded!
It illuminated the small cave and woke Lin Tian and the others.
"Who's there!"
Lin Tian woke up, crossbow in hand, ready to attack, but saw no one.
Only a small dark shadow flew out.
Feeling something was very wrong, he ordered, "Stay here, I'll go check it out!"
In the cave, the bat's fangs were shattered, "Damn it! A Saint! Why is there a holy nun in a goblin cave!!!"
He would rather believe his ancestral grave was dug up than believe this!
But the holy light just now couldn't be wrong.
"Captain! There's a holy nun!"
The bat flew to the living area of the large cave and shouted.
The Church's forces were like natural enemies to vampires, not to be provoked.
Hearing this, the red-fanged bat, who was about to suck more blood, froze, "Are you crazy? How could there be a nun in this cave?"
"Everyone, be on guard!!!"
At this moment, a shout came from deep within the cave.
All the goblins got up, fully alert!
Lin Tian saw the group of bats and felt something was off, "Bats shouldn't dare enter a goblin cave, how could they..."
While thinking, he noticed some goblins hadn't gotten up.
Looking closely, he finally saw clearly!
They had all been sucked dry!
"Vampires!"
Lin Tian instantly thought of the term and shouted, "Light the fire! Seal the exit!"
Goblin Kind and the others quickly began to act.
In the pitch-black cave, a raging fire ignited!
The goblins surrounded the red-fanged bats.
Lin Tian coldly said, "Daring to come here to suck blood, let's see what you vampires can do!"
"Captain, what do we do?"
A bat asked, but showed no fear.
The red-fanged bat began to spin rapidly, forming a black mist, and slowly landed, transforming into a human shape!
Wearing black light armor, with a fair face and flowing auburn hair.
Lilith's eyes were sharp, "Since we've been exposed, let's kill them. They're just a bunch of goblins."
As soon as she finished speaking, the remaining dozen bats also transformed into human shapes.
And they were all women!
The most venomous are women's hearts!
Lin Tian scrutinized her, checking the attribute panel first.
What he saw shocked him!
[Lilith: Lv61
Race: Vampire
Class: None
Title: Countess, Undying, Deity's Curse...
HP: 1900
Strength: 500
Defense: 500
Skills: Blood Siphon, Bloodthirst, Dark Transformation, Infection...
Equipment: Refined Light Armor
Overall: 2800]
Such high attributes!
Close to three thousand!
The other dozen vampires also had nearly two thousand strength!
Damn, how could they win?
They'd be utterly defeated!
Lin Tian quickly changed his tone, "Ahem, madam, we can talk this out, no need for this."
"Nothing to talk about. Didn't you want to see what we can do? Come on."
Lilith sneered.
If they had been discovered when they first came in, they would have fled.
But now, having drunk their fill of blood, their strength had greatly increased. Why would they be afraid?
Seeing her malicious intent, Lin Tian said, "If we fight, neither side will benefit. Aren't vampires afraid of fire?"
Lilith sneered, snapping her fingers.
The dried goblin corpses all stood up! Their eyes glowing red, fangs bared, all infected by her into vampires!
Surrounding them.
Lilith continued, "Let's see if the fire reaches us first, or if you die first. Hmph."
"Hallelujah!!!"
Suddenly, a burst of holy light struck!
Forcing Lilith and the others to hide behind the dried goblin corpses.
It was Lin Tian, standing tall, forming a cross with his arms.
"My God! A goblin, a goblin is mimicking a cross!"
"He actually shouted those four words, holy crap!"
"Sour radish, don't eat it! Should we rush up and tear him apart first? This lowly goblin is not simple!"
The vampires were all dumbfounded!
A goblin making this gesture!
Lilith didn't react in time, quickly saying, "Tear him apart!"
Lin Tian quickly ordered, "Everyone, keep this pose with me!"
When all the goblins formed a cross, the holy light illuminated the entire cave!
If the Church saw this, they'd be amazed!
Magical creatures using holy skills against magical creatures!
Both sides were at a stalemate.
If the enemy didn't move, neither did they.
Finally, Lin Tian couldn't hold back, "This is pointless. How about we negotiate?"
Lilith was silent for a moment, "Speak!"
Indeed, being bathed in holy light was uncomfortable.
"What do you want?"
Lin Tian asked directly.
Logically, vampires wouldn't come just to kill him.
Lilith didn't hide it, "We're an adventurer team from the human side. Someone posted a bounty, so we came to kill you."
"Damn, so I'm on a bounty list? No wonder so many adventurers came to Bright Town!"@@novelbin@@
Lin Tian realized.
Then he asked, "You vampires, need to earn money too?"
He couldn't understand why they needed money.
A vampire, annoyed, said, "Don't we need money to buy blood? Do you think we can just kill people in the Lionheart Empire? Guardian of the Holy Sword, Holy Church, which one is easy to deal with?"
"I see. How about we cooperate?"
Lin Tian first canceled the pose, signaling the other goblins to do the same.
There was no need to fight; cooperation could be mutually beneficial.
Seeing this, Lilith wanted to attack but held back, "How do we cooperate?"
Lin Tian thought for a moment, feeling a bit awkward, "You need blood, right? How about I provide it?"
"Boss, they're vampires. They need a lot of blood every day!"
At this moment, Leah ran out, worried.
Lin Tian ignored her.
Lilith snorted, "You don't have enough blood to provide long-term. Fine, we'll leave."
She hadn't expected goblins to be able to exorcise demons!
They had no choice but to admit defeat.
Otherwise, they could have easily killed them all.
"Wait, I said it's enough, and it will be enough."
Lin Tian stopped them, speaking seriously.
Lilith and the others looked at him in surprise.
"In traditional Chinese medicine, it's documented that the kidneys govern essence and blood, the most important organ. To stay healthy, you can't let your kidneys weaken."
Hearing this, the vampires were puzzled, asking, "What do you mean?"
Lin Tian coughed, suppressing his embarrassment, "It's literal. Medical research has shown this.
And a type of magical creature discovered this special effect long ago, the succubus.
Why else would they drain people without harming or robbing them?
To get such good nutrition, who would need to kill or rob?
Support us at .
"You know, goblins lack many things, but not that. We can form a long-term cooperative relationship, ensuring you never lack blood."
Seeing their disbelief, Lin Tian prepared to demonstrate.
This was a conclusion of traditional Chinese medicine, and Lin Tian firmly believed it would work.
Lilith roughly understood.
After some thought, she found the method feasible!
But it needed testing.
She reached out.
A vampire behind her pulled her back, "Captain, we're the Count's wives. Though he's sealed, aren't we waiting for him?"
"Yes, this would be unfair to the Count."
"If this works, we can wait safely without adventuring. Isn't that better? How many sisters have died over the centuries, don't you know?"
As the captain and Count Dracula's wife, Lilith had responsibilities.
Without hesitation, she approached Lin Tian.
It was just for survival, not further relations.
Not betraying the Count.
After drinking the "blood," Lilith, feeling her bloodthirst suppressed, excitedly said, "It really can replace blood!! Everyone, we don't need to adventure anymore. Just cooperate with these goblins!"
"No way, we should've discovered this earlier! Damn succubi, hoarding this secret!"
"Is this true? Let me try!"
A vampire couldn't resist trying.
One after another, they tried, all finding it true!
Their bloodthirst was suppressed.
Lin Tian was almost a dried corpse, "Leah, support me, huff, huff..."
"Boss, you've worked hard."
Leah said, half-laughing, half-crying.
Lilith became serious, "Goblin, I agree to cooperate. What do you want?"
"Simple, protect this cave from invaders. You don't need to leave, and can live freely in the darkness here."
Lin Tian said seriously.
Recruiting these vampires wasn't just out of necessity.
He hadn't tested the vampire race yet.
Improving the tribe's quality and gaining attributes was a great opportunity.
Though it might be unfair to their 'Count.'
What do you think?
