Our family is in decline

Knights, the lowest level in the feudal aristocracy system, are the most important group to maintain this system and the core of the military.

These knights should have been the key to the rule of Hamlet before they were infected, but at this time they had already lost the glory of being knights, or perhaps they never had it in the first place.

Now they have turned into maggots and cling to the ruins, watching the intruders and ready to attack at any time, or perhaps guarding their "territory" as before.

But before it made a move, the thigh-thick mosquito discovered Lance first, and flew up with hunger and thirst.

Even though its size was magnified so many times, it did not affect its flexible speed at all, and of course the annoying sound was also magnified several times.

Haunting buzzing!

Lance was inexplicably irritated by this thing, and he raised his hand and grabbed it out of thin air. When his five fingers were put together, a force descended on the big mosquito out of thin air, and it exploded as if it was crushed.

Instant kill!

Just like the enhanced blood storage tank of the Blood Blade, the effect of the Blood Holy Grail becomes stronger as the blood in the cup increases. Before, some fist-sized mosquitoes were made. Now this one is a little bigger, isn't it a mosquito?

It still explodes!

Lance did not stop his movements. He held the cup in one hand and pointed at the knight with two fingers of the other hand.

The blood mist that the big mosquito exploded just now instantly condensed into a blood arrow and shot out. The sudden attack made the knight feel threatened. He subconsciously moved his reptile-like body to avoid it and fell back into the swamp.

The blood arrow fell on the original place and left a clear mark on the bricks and stones. It may be that the power is really not weaker than that of ordinary swords.

The crocodile can hardly hide its body in the reeds, and the knight's more bizarre body is the same, but he has already attacked Lance.

Deep burial surprise attack!

With the help of the complex environment around it, the super long arms popped out and burst out like a mantis hunting and swung towards Lance.

Lance blocked with his sword, his sickle-like forelimbs hanging on the great sword, and the collision between the blade and the forelimbs actually produced sparks. The carapace growing on his body was really as solid as a knight's armor.

The whole body pressed forward to push Lance down, and the small legs that kept moving in the lower abdomen were as ugly as fat maggots wriggling, making people feel uncomfortable.

And Lance didn't waste any words, holding the knight with one hand and taking out a pistol with the other hand.

Shoot at close range!

The sound of the gun was no longer so loud under the effect of the flesh silencer, but with a muffled "puff" sound, a hole was directly opened in the knight's soft abdomen.

The power of the musket that exploded completely in the body can be said to have been completely absorbed, whether it was the bullet or the compressed air that exploded, the wound was directly perforated and festered, and a lot of messy things exploded from the back.

The knight fell into the final madness after being hit hard by this, and the forelimbs let go of the blade and waved randomly, and the hideous insect head squeezed up to bite, thirsting for blood to heal itself.

But Lance drew his sword and stepped back to avoid the first wave of counterattacks, then swung the sword. The knight's fighting instinct made it cross its forelimbs in front of it, but this time it took the initiative to attack instead of passively defending and directly cut off one arm.

The blade was stuck when it slashed into his body, but the glittering luster of the lines on it was about to suck the knight's vitality dry. The blood groove in the middle was slowly growing and finally filled.

Only the blood descendants have always sucked blood, when will it be someone else's turn to suck it?

The fear of death was difficult to stop even for the blood descendants. The knight's duty had long been thrown behind his head, and he turned around and wanted to run away.

And Lance finally released the power of the blade and swung it at the knight.

Blood slash!

In an instant, a scarlet sword energy flew out and swept across the knight's body without stopping until it hit the ruins of the building and left an exaggerated sword mark on the stone before dissipating.

The knight's body was only broken into two at this time. Lance realized that he had overestimated its defense, or underestimated the power of this sword.

Lance put away his sword and looked at the blood tank that had just been filled up, and estimated that the sword energy just now could be released three or four times.

The interesting thing is that the power of the sword energy is actually controllable, and it can even consume the blood tank completely with one sword. Lance knows that the power must be more exaggerated than it is now.

Similarly, one-third of the power of the sword just now can kill the knight, which means that at least ten knights can be killed by controlling the consumption.

And killing the enemy can also replenish part of the blood tank, so the endurance is very good.

After solving the knight, continue to explore the secrets of the courtyard.

After unlocking this skill, Lance now directly swings the sword to kill the blood descendants when he sees them, and raises the holy grail to directly suck all the blood of the fallen knight, and then the holy grail draws blood and pours it on the sword to replenish energy.

And he is more familiar with the control of the sword energy, and he knows how much energy each blood descendant consumes.

After entering this place, the number of blood descendants who think they are noble has increased, gentlemen can be seen everywhere, and a large number of knights, these upper-class people of Hamlet back then.

Of course, in a place with the theme of pleasure and entertainment, there must be women if there are men.

Among the many blood descendants killed by Lance, many were still in human form, wearing complicated outdated dresses, and the design of the clothes showed the gorgeousness and charm of the past.

Everyone knows that the women who usually appear in such places are definitely not nobles themselves, nor can they be the wives and daughters of nobles, but dancers for the entertainment of the upper class.

However, being able to enter and exit such places also proves that they are well-educated and well-trained artists or singers and dancers. The high-end ones play with talents, which is called fun.

They are unattainable when facing ordinary people, but when facing the rich, powerful or upper-class people, they are given luxury goods and status in exchange for entertainment and companionship.

They are called ladies, female companions, and singing and dancing troupes in a nice way, but in fact they are prostitutes.

However, when the bloody curse raged in the yard, these beautiful and lovely girls were also infected and turned into bloodthirsty and twisted imitators.

Although they still retain a small part of their humanity, the smell of a drop of fresh blood is enough to make them fall into crazy killing.

Especially when bloodthirstiness prevails, they undergo a terrible metamorphosis, showing the real monsters hidden under the flesh and blood.

Lance discovered that not all blood descendants have completed the metamorphosis, which is probably related to the way the curse was spread in the first place.

Those nobles such as knights are qualified to drink the blood brew of the ancestors, so they will mutate more, while the gentlemen, ladies and servants still retain some human characteristics because they were bitten by the nobles and infected in the second batch, so they need to suck blood to complete the metamorphosis.

As for the skeletons that can be seen everywhere, the different degrees of skull mutation can roughly tell that they were the nutrients that fed these blood descendants in the past, and there were also fights between blood descendants.

But it doesn't matter anymore. Anyway, these blood descendants who are very scary to ordinary people and even most extraordinary people are just a matter of one sword for Lance. Even if three or five knights appear together and there are big mosquitoes buzzing around, it is difficult to stop his steps.

The corpses that have been drained of blood everywhere make it difficult for people to understand who is the blood descendant who is thirsty for blood.

Shouldn't it be me sucking you? How come you suck me?

After entering the inner area, there are more buildings. The complex environment gives the blood descendants the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Suddenly, an unknown thing jumps out of the puddle, like a trap waiting for prey to come.

But who is the prey?

One jumps out, and two fall down.

Lance slowly put away his sword and continued to move forward, and then found the locked door while wandering...

Lance stopped and looked at the door and was stunned for a moment. It seemed that he didn't react, but then a humorous smile appeared on his face.

It was so funny. The whole area was collapsed and the walls were leaky. Even if the main building was intact without any gaps, there were windows.

Who would be so stupid as to be stopped by a metal gate with only a frame left?

It was locked. Why didn't you ask someone to find the key in such a big place?

Lance felt that the meaning of this thing was the same as a prostitute's underwear. You knew it was useless, but you put it on for fun.

Lance didn't even bother to go around. He kicked it directly. With a loud bang, the locked iron door did not open, but it deformed and flew out. The door frame was still shaky, but the bricks and stones on it were also shifted. The dangerous building that collapsed at some point was even more dangerous.

Lance left without even looking back. After going deeper, he immediately realized that something was wrong, because there were no blood descendants around, but those throbbing insect eggs were everywhere, emitting a red blush that was not to be let go.

Of course, there were some strange corpses, the whole person was stuffed into a short iron cage with only the head exposed, the skeletonized corpses had obvious scars left by various tortures, and the head was blown up.

These had appeared before, but the number was far less than this. Lance had already sensed a wrong atmosphere.

But this made him happy, the ordinary blood descendants were too weak, making him a little bored.

Sure enough, he soon seemed to hear a louder buzzing, like gossip gathered together, which made people extremely irritated.

When he kicked the door in, it was an outdoor corridor plus an open space, in which a large number of... even densely packed cocoons were gathered.

There were also countless small mosquitoes flying around. Lance's intrusion first attracted their attention, approaching like a dark cloud covering the sun, and the result was a "rain".

These cocoons of different sizes kept trembling, and the things inside seemed to want to come out, basically emitting a weird smell.

Compared to the ones seen outside before, it seems a little different, but what can be confirmed is that the existence of these blood cocoons seems to be a mysterious ritual. Lance feels a force suppressing his power to control flesh and blood.

Such a scene did not scare Lance. He casually swung his sword to cut open several nearby blood cocoons, and living blood descendants emerged from them.

From mosquitoes to knights, only crocodiles are missing, which means that all the blood descendants around were caught here.

But why is this?

And soon something answered his doubts. When Lance was wreaking havoc, a monster he had never seen before jumped out of a cocoon he cut open.

The upper body was still a tattered noble coat similar to that of a knight, and the degree of mutation on the head was similar to that of a gentleman, but the pale face had big black eyes, a mouth full of fangs and a white hairstyle, unlike the completely alienated face covered with chitinous shells like the knight.

The arms were neither like the human form of a gentleman, nor like the mantis knife of a knight, but two barbed meat whips hanging down.

But the degree of change from the abdomen downwards is higher, with a bloody mouth full of sharp teeth in the abdomen.

The most prominent part is the real lower body connected to the big mouth, which does not look like a mosquito posterior capsule, but a pupa with red eyes and a white shell on the outside.

There are no legs in the lower limbs, only the insect limbs growing on the white pupa support the body. Sometimes it is hard to tell whether the upper body is alive or the lower body is in control.

It looks weird, but the height of this unique blood descendant is just average, not even as good as a gentleman, let alone a knight.

Lance has read the diary of the ancestor, which reminds him of the special hobby of a hunchbacked baron that the ancestor once complained about.

Because of his own defects, he likes to hurt others after getting drunk to please himself and satisfy his pathetic self-esteem. He calls it "performance".

It is just a small matter to whip people with a whip and force them to do various performances, and to force people into smaller iron cages. Even if they become monsters now, they still don't forget to stuff other blood descendants into cocoons.

Let's put it this way, even the scum among scums like the ancestor feels uneasy, so you can imagine how big the fun is.

And now this baron is preparing their performance for the guests - the performance begins!

The baron appeared and waved his arm that turned into a meat whip towards Lance.

Necessary discipline!

The whip swept over, and the barbs on it were hideous and terrifying. If it fell on the body, it might scrape off a piece of flesh and blood.

Lance swung his sword and easily cut it off. He paid the price for just one encounter. This was an unacceptable humiliation for a baron who was extremely inferior and extremely perverted because of the inherited power.

The broken whip retracted, and the baron rushed forward to shorten the distance between the two sides, but when it stretched out its arm again, the horrible twisted flesh and blood stretched out from the tattered cuffs and attacked Lance.

Grandstanding!

A large group of deformed bodies attacked, and this move reminded Lance of the method of the dungeon ascended priest. He did not dare to touch that thing, so he immediately pulled away to dodge and swung a sword at the same time.

The scarlet sword energy instantly came into contact with the deformed arm, and cut into it but failed to cut it off. When those deformed bodies were retracted into the baron's body, the broken whip actually grew out.

But Lance was not one to be beaten. He approached and swung his blade. The baron's reaction was not slow at all and he could even keep up. He swung his whip, but this time he was no longer trying to whip the prey, but to wrap it up and drag it closer.

At the same time, he took the initiative to stand up, and the big mouth on his abdomen opened to an exaggerated degree at this time, and even the upper body could not be seen, as if he wanted to swallow Lance in one gulp.

Hungry!
