Chapter 380: Mu You's blood talent

  Chapter 380 Mu You's Blood Race Talent

   Amnesia?

   After thinking about it for a while, Mu You realized that this was probably another curse that the vampire count got when he absorbed a certain ability.

  No matter what, when I ran into the real owner, the other party didn’t see through him as a fool, but regarded him as the original owner of the skin, and the original vampire happened to have a curse of forgetfulness...

   This matter seems to be able to continue!

  【You chose to borrow a donkey from the slope, admitting that after waking up this time, you have indeed forgotten many things. You only remember that you are from the Rhine family, but you don’t have any impression of the specific family members. I hope the other party can explain to you what happened before. 】

  【Rhein Mai, with such an expression on her face, told you about her brother's experience. 】

  【The Rhine family was also a large family a long time ago, but it gradually declined due to the long-term lack of masters in the clan. As time went by, the population gradually withered until the birth of Rhine Liston, the predecessor of your skin. 】

  【The strength of the blood family, in addition to the level attributes of the body, the most important thing is the family talent.

  Each blood family has its own unique talent tree, some are powerful, some are ordinary, and some powerful talents are acquired, which is enough to support the blood family to complete the leapfrog battle.

However, these talents need to be randomly obtained when the rank of the blood clan is promoted. The rank has nothing to do with the level system. The promotion to Baron and Viscount each have a 50% chance to obtain a talent. Afterwards, the promotion to Earl, Marquis, and Duke is 100% awakened. A new talent, so even the highest existing bloodline duke can only get 5 bloodline talents at most. 】

[Rhein Liston awakened a hidden talent "Talent Absorption" that had been lost for many years when he was a baron. , so as to continuously enhance its own strength.

Liston carried the hope of the Rhine family. In order to help the family revive and improve their strength as much as possible, he constantly devoured and absorbed various creatures, and collected nearly a hundred kinds of strong or weak abilities. Overwhelming many marquises, he grew up to be one of the best masters in the clan at that time, and also made the Rhine family leap to one of the top ten families of the blood clan, restoring the glory of the ancestors! 】

[But at the same time, the talent absorption ability also has a huge weakness, that is, every time you get a new ability, you will get a random curse at the same time, and the stronger the ability, the stronger the curse you get, that is, While his abilities are increasing, his weaknesses will become more and more obvious.

  In history, the blood clan who awakened this talent, without exception, all died in the backlash caused by the superposition of curses. Therefore, this talent was also regarded as an ominous talent by the family ancestors, and those who got it would eventually go to self-destruction. 】

[The same goes for Liston. His rapidly expanding strength has brought him various restrictions. Every time he acquires a new ability, it is equivalent to a gamble. If he can stop in time, there may be room for maneuver. However, Liston has been deeply immersed in the thirst for strength and cannot extricate himself. Like a gambler, he continues to collect various new abilities, and finally pushes himself into a dead end. In sight...]

   Mu You was dumbfounded, he didn't expect his predecessor to swallow hundreds of abilities!

  He has backtracking himself, and he can filter curses through backtracking. Even so, after multiple curses are superimposed, he has already begun to feel a lot of inconvenience. More than one hundred kinds of curses are superimposed in a row, even if you are lucky and never encounter that kind of contradictory curse, you can imagine how restricting you will be.

  The predecessor, after acquiring so many abilities, was still not greedy enough, and the final outcome was doomed.

   Mu You sighed, but then again, his predecessor had mastered more than a hundred talents, and when he got the skin, he only had three left. It seems that extracting the skin can only inherit the limited ability of the deceased.

  【Rheinmai tells you that in order to avoid others coveting, the place where her brother sleeps has never been disclosed to outsiders. Only a few close relatives in the family know about it, and she is also one of the insiders. And this millennium family meeting, the family was warned by the Grand Duke because they couldn't get the heart of the mist, and she didn't have the idea of ​​going to the misty mountain to find the heart of the mist, because it was very likely that other clansmen with ulterior motives would target them and follow the vine. Find where his brother is, thus destroying his plan for resurrection. She believes that even if she is expelled now, as long as her brother is resurrected in the future, the family will still have a chance to revive. 】

  【Rhein Mai hesitated for a moment after speaking, and then asked the blood servant 'Rodney' you sent out before, did you see him? 】

   Mu You raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, this problem still cannot be avoided after all.

  After thinking about it, he decided to answer truthfully. Lying in this kind of matter is too easy to be exposed.

  【You apologize to Mai, you met Rodney before, but because he tried to steal the treasure from the tomb, you casually killed him. 】

[Mai heard that not only did she not mean to blame you, but she repeatedly said that she doesn't care about it. She also knows Rodney's greed for money, and he must have offended your elder brother. Just be safe and sound! 】

  Mu You looked weird for a moment, he didn't expect that the story of the blood servant would be overturned so easily... It seems that the status of these blood servants in the blood clan is lower than expected.

  【After the pleasantries, Mai strongly invited you to go home for a reunion. The brothers and sisters all miss you as an elder brother very much, so she will ask the family to prepare a banquet to welcome you. your choice…】

   Below are two options: [Accept the invitation] and [Leave with an excuse].

  Originally, Mu You planned to leave Misty Heart behind, but the current situation made him change his mind.

  It would be a good choice if you can borrow the original skin owner's family to join the vampire family.

  【You chose to accept the invitation. 】

  【Mai was very happy, and immediately led you into the forest, took out the communication props, and notified your family of your return. 】

  【After a while, you came to a two-story building deep in the dark forest. 】

  【Entering the house, a banquet has been set up in the living room, and the whole family is gathered here. 】

[The first thing that appeared in front of you were seven vampire children, four men and three women. The oldest one had the appearance of a human being fourteen or five years old, and the youngest looked only five or six years old. They all gathered at the door, looking at you like a curious baby. . 】

[After the child, there are two middle-aged vampires, a man and a woman, who look like husband and wife. They all look at you kindly and greet you with a smile, and the middle-aged male vampire among them seems to be in ill health , Coughing again and again when talking. 】

  【Further behind are three vampire servants, looking at you full of awe, bowing their heads and saluting you. 】

[Mai will introduce you one by one, the two middle-aged people are your uncle and aunt, and the seven children are their children. As for the other elders of the Rhine family, they have all fought against werewolves in recent years. died. Right now, these are all the members of the Rhine family currently surviving. 】

   Mu You was stunned. There were only seven children, three adults, and three blood servants. The population of this family was even rarer than expected...

   Mu You clicked on the messages of the two middle-aged men again and glanced at them.

  【Rhine Jonas (Level 20 has not evolved) (Seriously Injured): The Vampire Viscount, who has wolf's poison in his body, is temporarily unable to fight. Unlocked family talent: Juli, with giant-like strength. 】

  【Rhein Elsa (level 15 has not evolved): Vampire Baron, family talent has been unlocked: Charm, can make creatures of the opposite **** see estrus. 】

  Two middle-aged people, one is only level 15 and the other is level 20, and the level 20 is still seriously injured. In other words, the strongest person in this family is actually this cheap sister beside him...

  【After some welcome, you are surrounded by everyone and sit at the head of the table, and other family members are seated around you. 】

  【The servants brought up all kinds of delicately cooked delicacies and wines, and of course the highlight of the blood clan banquet: everyone put a cup of blood in the best wine glass in front of them. According to Mai, this is fresh and pure blood just produced from young humans, and it is one of the best quality supplements for blood races. 】

  【The smell of blood fell into your nose, sweet and sweet, you couldn't help but take a sip, the pure blood flowed in your body, your mood was happy, your strength was restored, and your attack power was temporarily increased by 10%. 】

  【Others are also trying to taste the blood in front of them. 】

  【Strigoi get their power from blood. For them, the time to replenish blood every day is sacred, and no one speaks to disturb the atmosphere. 】

[At this time, you noticed that a little girl sitting on your right side secretly watched you taste the blood. Yi glared, and the little girl hurriedly kept her eyes fixed, and covered her face with her own blood cup. 】

  【Mai noticed your gaze, and looked at you apologetically: "I'm sorry, my lord, children don't understand the rules."】

  【Looking at the performance of the crowd, you realized something, and suddenly took a sip of Mai Yi's cup. The blood enters the mouth, but it doesn't feel sweet, but a strong sour taste-this is just a glass of tomato juice. 】

  【You look at the others, and the whole family looks at you with embarrassment. Obviously, all they drink is tomato juice, and the only glass of true blood is left for you. 】

   Mu You was also a little strange looking at the text. A family of vampires should always have fresh blood, but the family only has so little blood?

  【"Blood is hard to come by in the Undercity?" You looked at Mai and asked. 】

【"It's not that hard to come by. In the past, you could easily get blood when you went hunting every night. Even if you didn't go hunting, there would often be fresh blood bags for sale on the black market. The source of blood is not difficult to find. But since a year ago, those After the werewolves were unified into a tribe, they began to deliberately target the low-level vampires. Every day the werewolves would disguise themselves as ordinary humans and move back and forth in the places where the vampires like to hunt, deliberately seducing the vampires, and once the vampires made a move, the werewolves would usher in crazy counterattack." Mai said. 】

【"The werewolves have developed the 'fangs' specially designed to restrain vampires. Vampires bitten by this kind of fangs cannot heal their wounds through ordinary means, and they cannot be resurrected when they die. At the same time, the werewolves monopolized the sale of blood on the black market, causing a large number of vampires to lose their most important source of blood.

  So over the past year, many vampires in the Undercity have been in a state of "blood starvation" for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is weak. They were not opponents of werewolves in several battles in the dark night, which led to a large number of attrition in the group. "]

   "The wound bitten by a werewolf cannot heal?"

  Mu You was taken aback when he heard that. He also fought against a werewolf before. At that time, the werewolf didn't have the means to restrain vampires. It seems that the so-called "fangs" should be the exclusive ability of werewolves in the Undercity.

  【'Uncle' Jonas looked at you and Mai apologetically: "I am incompetent. I was bitten by a werewolf some time ago and lost the ability to hunt, which caused the burden of hunting to fall on Mai."]

["But now you are back, Liston. You are the pillar of the family. You should drink the only blood. Only after drinking the blood can you have the strength to hunt."'Aunt'Elsa looked at you with relief and said . 】

  【Mai also urges you to drink the blood as soon as possible. your choice…】

  【Drink the blood. As the person with the highest title in the family, you deserve the best things. 】

  【We share the same difficulties. Divide the blood equally among all. 】

  【Use the convenience of the fool to find better blood and let everyone drink up. 】

  Three options, Mu You decisively chose the second one.

   Just kidding, where did he go to find blood in the middle of the night?

  But as mentioned in the options, for the convenience of the fool, raising a few vampires is really not a problem.

  The reason why the werewolves were able to monopolize the blood selling market in the Undercity was mainly because the news of the vampires was blocked and there were no other channels for buying blood. What about the billions of people on earth, if they can get in touch with players, how can they have the trouble of ischemia?

  【In spite of other people's objections, you divided the blood in the cup equally among the family members, and said that with you, the family will no longer lack blood, and no one will be hungry again. 】

  【Several children tasted the fresh blood as they wished, and heard your promise, they all cheered and looked at you with admiration. 】

  【Most of these new-generation children have only heard the legend of the family's 'Earl of the Night', but they don't really feel it. Now when you came back, you helped the family solve the food problem, which immediately made them respect and trust you from the bottom of their hearts. 】

  【Just as the atmosphere of the family banquet was harmonious, you suddenly heard the hissing of bats outside the door. 】

  【A red-eyed bat landed outside the window sill, put down a letter held in its claws, and then flew away. 】

  【Jonas went to retrieve the letter, opened it and looked at it. There were special dense characters on it, which only the vampires could understand. 】

["It's a message from the Duke of the Blood Race, informing that the family meeting will be held at 7 o'clock tonight. The meeting place will be in the 'Abandoned Dark Church'. Each family will arrange for two people to go there. There will be two topics to discuss: 1. The future of the Blood Race Planning. 2, Distribution of ten drops of 'Ancestral Blood'."]

  【Jonas interpreted the contents of the letter, then looked at you and Mai and said, "You brothers and sisters will go to the clan meeting this time. I can rest assured that Liston is here."】

   Mu You looked at the two issues mentioned in the text, and tried to click on 'Ancestral Blood'.

  【Ancestral blood: After the ancestor of the blood race died more than 2,000 years ago, the body was preserved. After that, every hundred years, a drop of the blood of the ancestor will be born. Blood clans that have absorbed the blood of their ancestors will have the opportunity to be promoted to a title. The higher the title, the more blood of their ancestors is needed for promotion. 】

  So this so-called clan association is to provide blood clans with a chance to be promoted?

   Mu You looked at the description of 'Noble Title' again.

  【Nobility: Nobility is divided into public, marquis, uncle, son, and male. High-level titles have a powerful suppression effect on low-level titles during battles (only within blood clans).

  The title can be improved in two ways: 1. Taking the blood of the ancestors. 2. Those with high titles can distribute one drop of Heart Blood to other blood clans in the same family whose titles are at least two ranks lower, so that they can be raised by one rank. Each promotion can give up to three drops of Heart Blood.

   After the noble title of the blood family is promoted, the level and attributes will not be improved, but the existing family talent will be upgraded, and a new family talent can be learned randomly. 】

  The 'title' here does not seem to be directly related to strength, but more of a symbol of blood clan status.

  The biggest practical benefit of raising the title is probably the ability to obtain a new 'family talent'. Family talent is the real strength of the vampire family!

[Family talent: The blood clan is divided into 13 clans, and each clan has three exclusive talents and abilities. Clans intermarry to form a family. The talents and abilities possessed by these clans will also be carried into the genes of the descendants of this family. Become a family talent.

  The ancestors of the Rhine family were formed by the intermarriage of three clans. There are nine types of family talents that may appear: super speed, super sense, charm, talent absorption, giant killer, giant force, deflection, atomization, and iron. 】

   That is to say, there are only nine talent trees in the Rhine family, and among them, Mu You already has "Talent Absorption" and "Giant Killer".

   For the remaining seven types, Mu You read the descriptions one by one, and found that many of them were literal.

  For example, super-sensing is "super-sensing". After lighting up, it can obtain a danger perception ability far beyond that of ordinary people. In addition, it also has a certain "perspective" effect, which can clearly sense people and things behind obstacles.

  Others, such as atomization, can be automatically converted into fog to escape when attacked. The iron block, the whole body becomes as hard as iron, invulnerable to swords and guns, etc...

   Looking at the seven abilities, Mu You is most interested in the two abilities of 'Super Speed' and 'Deflection'.

  Sudden speed, before the battle begins, the vampire bursts into the battlefield with super speed, which lasts up to three seconds, and automatically fails after the first attack.

   This ability only lasts for three seconds, and it will be invalid at the beginning of the battle. It seems very tasteless.

  The reason why Mu You took a fancy to it is because this ability can cooperate with backtracking, allowing him to have the same speed as the Flash during the backtracking, so that he can do and change more things.

   Another 'deflection', the description is: Allow the vampire to deflect the attack that it sees and understands. The cooldown time is 10 seconds.

   To put it bluntly, it is an attack coming from the front. The vampire can directly deflect its direction with his mind, thus exempting from its effect, which is equivalent to being invincible once every ten seconds.

   After reading his family talent, Mu You suddenly became very interested in this clan. With a pocket watch, the talents that appear randomly when the title is promoted are fixed to him. This is an opportunity to accurately upgrade the vampire skin!
