Chapter 496: Chapter 496 Vampire
This is a good question, Tang Chuxia was also curious.
But before they could figure it out, the tardy old Taoist finally came in and began speaking, leaving everyone unable to react, “She is the Beast Child!”
Tang Chuxia searched through all the memories in her mind and the plots in the books, finding nothing about the Beast Child.
She even doubted if she had heard it wrong, maybe some strangely pronounced thing.
But soon the old Taoist’s explanation made her realize that she hadn’t misheard.
It was indeed the Beast Child.
“Back in the day when the little devils were on our land, they truly conducted all sorts of inhuman experiments, especially after capturing a woman with Innate Divine Strength. After repeated research, in pursuit of maximizing power, they made the woman get pregnant and have children.”
After the old Taoist finished speaking, Tang Chuxia still had questions.
“If she had children, why call them Beast Children?”
Tang Chuxia’s question was also what others wanted to know.
The old Taoist said, “Saying the little devils were inhumane isn’t just a figure of speech. They discovered that the children born from that woman didn’t possess Divine Power like her, so they injected the woman’s blood into the child’s body. But how could a child withstand that? They ended up creating something like a Beast Child, these children could absorb some of the energy from the blood!”
Tang Chuxia was shocked.
Although they were called Beast Children, Tang Chuxia could imagine the process must have been insane.
Su Lan didn’t seem out of place.
“As for Su Lan, she isn’t a purebred Beast Child, she just absorbed too much of a mishmash of blood!”
After the old Taoist had finished, no one else said anything, because they felt their worldview had been overturned.
It took a moment to absorb all this, they needed to take their time.
As for Tang Chuxia, she then asked, “So when Su Lan captured me to draw my blood, was it just because she needed my blood to enhance her abilities?”
The old Taoist shook his head, “Her kind, must regularly drink blood to survive!”
“A vampire?”
Jin Haidong exclaimed in surprise.
The old Taoist nodded, “Something along those lines!”
Tang Chuxia pointed out, “That’s not right though, if she needed my blood, what purpose did she have for capturing those four?”
The old Taoist sighed, saying that this matter was somewhat related to the Daoist.
The deadly tribulation on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month was first discerned by the old Taoist, but what he didn’t tell Tang Chuxia was that her deadly tribulation was also her rebirth.
He didn’t speak of this because he wasn’t sure, and after discussing it with the old monk, they both couldn’t understand why a deadly tribulation represented rebirth?
So they wanted to see for themselves.
Little did they expect that Su Lan would take Tang Chuxia away on that day, not only drawing her blood but also capturing Yang Yingjie and the others.
“Is it possible, like the last time with Uncle Clan, that she’s doing some kind of formation?”
Gu Beihuai’s reminder made the old Taoist nod, “There’s that possibility, you know everyone wants Xiaxia’s blood, and with these four unlucky fellows, performing some kind of targeted malicious curse is certainly feasible!”
Yang Yingjie weakly asked, “We’re not sacrifices, are we?”
The old Taoist nodded, “It’s highly likely!”
If they were to be sacrifices, then it made sense.
No matter how, as long as they still had a breath in them, that was good; after all, they were all going to die.
As for who the sacrifices were for and the purpose, they couldn’t guess.
While Tang Chuxia and her group were discussing the matter, Su Lan and Wu Yue who were in the cave also sat down to talk about it.
Wu Yue was very angry because he found out that Tang Chuxia and her people had all escaped.
Although he strongly disapproved of Su Lan’s action to capture Tang Chuxia and her group, since they had been captured, failing to keep an eye on them was a sin that needed punishment.
Just as he was about to give Su Lan a beating, another person came into the cave, Wu Yue’s son, Wu Siyuan.
“Dad, what are you doing? Sister Su didn’t do it on purpose, and she didn’t expect that after being drugged so heavily, Tang Chuxia would still have the strength to lead others to escape.”
Wu Siyuan had stopped Wu Yue.
He strongly disapproved of Wu Yue’s actions.
“Get lost, she was incompetent in her task, she was supposed to protect your sister, and look what happened! She caused so much trouble!”
Wu Yue was so angry he could kill.
He could imagine, once those people escaped back, and the family found out, it would definitely affect him.
But Wu Siyuan still stood in Wu Yue’s way.
“Dad, why did you let Sister Su protect my sister? After causing so much trouble, she could just live peacefully on the island. Sister Su doesn’t owe her anything!”
Wu Yue scoffed, “What now? You’ve fallen for this monster?”
Wu Siyuan’s face flushed red, “Dad, what are you talking about? Sister Su and I are clean. I just can’t stand the way you favor my sister, and besides, over the years, all the things she’s done, every mistake has been covered by Sister Su, Dad, what are you really thinking?”
Wu Siyuan didn’t like Tang Wanqiu, not one bit.
Yet Wu Yue liked Tang Wanqiu very much, perhaps because he didn’t raise her himself, which made him feel even more guilty.
Father and son confronted each other, while Su Lan remained silent; she knew that any words from her would provoke Wu Yue even more, and Wu Siyuan would end up getting involved too.
The quiet Su Lan suddenly felt uncomfortable all over; she knew time was up, and if she didn’t drink blood, she would become ill.
Desperately, she looked for the blood taken from Tang Chuxia, but what she saw when she opened the cabinet was empty; the vessel for storing blood was gone.
She knelt on the ground somewhat afraid.
She couldn’t endure it anymore.
Wu Yue watched her convulsing and sneered, “This is your retribution!”
Su Lan said nothing, but Wu Siyuan wouldn’t stand by and do nothing; he hurriedly cut his own finger and stuffed it into Su Lan’s mouth.
Su Lan instinctively sucked the blood, but Wu Yue couldn’t stand it and tried to kick his son away.
“Dad, what in the world have you and mom been doing all these years? Until when will you keep deluding yourself?”
Wu Siyuan’s shouting made Wu Yue stop in his tracks.
He knew his son’s thoughts were different from his daughter’s; even though they were twins, Tang Wanqiu was naturally bad, but Wu Siyuan was just the opposite, his thoughts were kind.
One was a devil, the other an angel.
Wu Yue had no choice but to remind Wu Siyuan, “This woman is no good, she’ll kill you one day!”
Wu Siyuan wasn’t concerned, “That’s a problem for the future, Dad, let’s go quickly, or they’ll surely track us down here!”
Wu Yue, left without a choice, warned them to destroy the entire cave, and then he hurriedly left.
After Wu Yue left, Su Lan also stopped drinking blood, and she weakly leaned against the wall, “You shouldn’t have come!”
Wu Siyuan sighed, “If I hadn’t shown up, you would have been beaten to death by my dad!”
“That wouldn’t happen, he’s not ready for me to die yet!” Su Lan said numbly.
“But I couldn’t get past this hurdle in my heart. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have done such a thing!”
