Chapter 070: The Blood Prince!
New York, under a ruined building.
Li Heng slowly opened his eyes, and water drops fell on his head.
The stench and the smell of blood assaulted my nostrils, as if this was a sewer.
He sat up. There were a lot of glass fragments on his body, but there was no bleeding. The glass grew into his flesh, and all the wounds miraculously healed.
Judging from this, there are almost no wounds on his body.
It's like... what the vampire said in the previous video.
The knife pierced his stomach, and the wound healed before he could bleed.
"my body?"
Li Heng tried to pull out the glass shards on his arm, and the wound was exposed, but the flesh and blood on the wound were quickly twisted together.
"The wound is gone?"
"...No, how is this possible?"
Li Heng raised his head and looked around with a puzzled look. This place indeed looked like a sewer.
A bus stood upright in the middle of the sewer, and countless corpses were piled at the front of the bus. The corpses had long since rotted and stinked.
There was also the body of a fat man among them!
Li Heng stood up subconsciously when he saw this.
died?
All dead?
In the end what happened?
Li Heng remembered that the ground suddenly collapsed and a large pit appeared, and then they and the car fell in together.
but why……
"I'm not dead?"
Just when Li Heng was confused, a woman's voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Ahem...because I saved you."
Li Heng turned around and saw a thin, white-haired loli sitting in the corner of the sewer, holding her belly.
Loli's pupils are blood red and her teeth are very sharp. These characteristics are completely consistent with those of a vampire.
Li Heng stepped forward, "Did you turn me into a vampire?"
Loli raised her head, "What you have to do is not to question me, but to thank me for pulling you up from the dead."
Li Heng knelt down when he heard the words, "Thank you for saving me, then why did you only save me and the others? Could it be that they all..."
Loli smiled bitterly, "When I found you, you were the only one who still had one breath left."
"I'm not a necromancer. I can't resurrect the dead. I saved you just to suck your blood because I hate the blood of the dead."
Loli was very weak, her figure was extremely thin and shriveled, and there wasn't even any blood on her lips.
Seeing this, Li Heng subconsciously touched his neck, "How come you are still so weak after sucking my blood? Doesn't it mean that vampires can be alive and kicking immediately after sucking the blood?"
"Huh?" Loli was speechless, "Have you watched too many videos?"
"Blood is just food for us. Converting blood into energy requires a long process, just like eating. If your body is knocked away, can your body recover after just one meal?"
"Obviously, no."
"My blood energy is exhausted. That guy from Faerun destroyed my heart's blood source and cut off my limbs. And I have no food. Under such circumstances, my recovery ability will be greatly reduced."
"It will take at least six hours to fully recover."
Li Heng exposed his neck when he heard this, "Then you will suck me two more times?"
Loli was stunned for a moment, "Do you really want to die that much?"
"You have to understand that for a prince, even draining you dry is not enough to fill my belly."
"The reason why I pulled you up is just to let you take me out of here, delay Faerun by the way, and help me buy time to recover."
Li Heng looked at Loli's limbs, "But your body doesn't seem to be injured?"
Loli gritted her teeth, "Because my recovery is too slow now, I compressed my body into what it is now and barely grew arms and legs."
"But I can't move, do you understand?"
Li Heng nodded, "I understand, the law of conservation of energy, right? If a limb is cut off, the flesh and blood from other parts of the body must be used as consumption to grow the limb."
"But... I don't understand one thing. Can't vampires grow limbs instantly? Why does it take several hours to recover after destroying the heart?"
Loli sighed, "Under normal circumstances, it's okay."
"But you have to know that it's because our bodies store a kind of 'quantity', which you can also understand as blood energy."
"With sufficient blood energy, any injury can be recovered instantly."
"Because blood energy gives cells energy, increasing the rate of cell division and regeneration hundreds of times."
"But when blood energy is exhausted, cells can only divide at a normal speed, and blood energy is generally stored in the heart, which is the core of blood energy."
"I see, but even at normal speed, it's thousands of times faster than humans, right?" Li Heng asked.
"That's right."
"Then how do you replenish your blood energy?"
"Suck blood."
"But didn't you just say..."
"The only thing a vampire cannot regenerate is blood, and blood energy needs to be obtained by extracting blood."
"If I drain myself any further, I'm going to have to drain you."
"But even if I suck it dry, I won't be able to recover much. The higher the vampire, the more blood energy is consumed to restore the body, let alone I am still a prince."
Li Heng seemed to have thought of something, "I probably understand. You are a prince, and your physical level is higher than that of ordinary vampires."
"The more precise and complex the quality, the more it takes to repair it."
The corner of Loli's mouth twitched, "Thank God that you can understand so thoroughly. Then, take me out of here now."
"Feren will find us soon, we can't stay here for too long."
Li Heng thought for a moment, "You mean Feiren, is he also a prince?"
"Yes, he is a prince like me, but I was careless and was attacked by him." Loli said.
Prince...
If I remember correctly, the prince is a second-generation vampire, the most powerful vampire except the first-generation true ancestor.
Doesn't that mean?
"I am a duke now?"
Loli nodded, "Yes, not only did I not die after the car accident, but I accidentally became a high-level vampire. Aren't you surprised and excited?"
Step!
Just then, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the darkness!
Hearing the footsteps, Loli's face changed suddenly!
"Oh no, he's coming, hurry up!"
"Where are you going, my dear Lilith?"
A man with bloodshot eyes and a coat appeared in front of the two.
Li Heng turned his head suddenly. Is this man Feiren?
He looked straight into Feiren's eyes, but his heart suddenly trembled!
Thump!
Thump!
"Oh?"
"A duke dares to look directly at the prince, you seem to have lived a little long." As Feren said this, a terrible pressure emanated from his body!
Li Heng's footsteps softened, this momentum was completely different from Lilith's!
He even had an involuntary urge to kneel down, is this the prince?
Li Heng looked at Lilith, "Do you think I can beat him?"
Lilith shook her head, "You can't beat him, I..."
Bang!
Li Heng didn't say anything, picked up Lilith and ran away!
Why waste words if you can't beat him!
Run!
