Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 117: First time using the Corpse-Eating Bloody Herb

"Allies among humans?!" they both shouted in shock at hearing this man say this.

Vampires have always had a great enmity with humans, dating back millions of years to the age of the immortals.

It is said that the ancestor of the vampire race killed the ancestor of the human race.

Since then, vampires and humans have never made any alliance. Although vampires have the upper hand, they have been fighting for millions of years.

But now, there are alliances between vampires and humans? What the hell was going on? They both wondered.

Lord Envoy nodded slightly, "It is likely. Considering that we are in the closest kingdom to the Great Human Empire, such a case is not impossible. So, keep your alerts up to the max, especially on magical inscriptions made with ice." He said and turned to leave.

He had already confirmed that his enemies were present here, so he had no business being here. Besides, if someone was watching what he said one moment ago, something terrible could happen.

'I have to go back and announce some things to the organization.' He thought to himself, as he worried...

.

Matt frowned at that moment, and a small streak of blood came out of his mouth, though he smiled.

'Hehe, so much good information. So, these bastards have such a great plan.' He thought, smiling.

Though he couldn't do much right now, and that was confirmed.

If the men living in Clan City are present, everything enters a higher scale of danger.

Right now, it's hard for him to do anything other than merely research.

'Although if I could enter Clan City, it wouldn't be a bad idea to try to do something else. Even if it's painful and dangerous, I should still be able to run away once more by freezing time.' He thought, though he would rather not touch that ability anymore for now.

But he doesn't know why he feels that that city hides many important things, so he would take it even though it's dangerous if the opportunity to enter appeared to him.

'But, for now, I think it would be a good idea to tell the Allens about this.' Matt thought, looking thoughtful about various things.

Thus, time passed until they returned to the vicinity of the Academy.

They did not head toward the Academy. Instead, they ran to where they had placed the bloody herb.

Since they had so many corpses in their storage rings, it was an excellent time to test the effectiveness of this bloody treasure that now made Matt the target of so many forces.

'I hope it's useful; if not, it would be really unfortunate that I'm being hunted for something useless.' He thought.

The place in question was a deep cave in a mountain near the mountains where they had investigated the villages earlier.

Finding the cave was difficult for anyone who didn't know where it was, as it was very hidden, so Matt judged it as an excellent place to hide it.

This mountain was quite far from the Academy and much farther from the city, besides having giant beasts around, but without much wealth, so it was an area that no one visited.

It was perfect for hiding.

When they arrived, they noticed that the herb was dormant and passive. There wasn't a hint of blood in the vicinity because it hadn't been fed in a long time. Maybe that's why the herb was a bit... Angry? Maybe.

Then, the three began depositing the corpses throughout the vast cave.

In total, 121 corpses were laid out from one side to the other while Matt, Isla, and Alice waited on the side to see what would happen.

A minute later, the bloody herb reacted and moved slightly as if it had a life of its own.

Its roots moved a little then, and soon, it was fully reanimated as it found many corpses on the spot.

Immediately, its roots grew in a big way and firmly attached themselves to each of the corpses. Although it had only four primary roots, somehow 121 roots came out of those four and firmly attached themselves to all the bodies.

At the same time, the bloody aura spread throughout the cave, and the corpses began to be slowly consumed by the bloody grass.

It wasn't absorbing their blood because, for testing purposes, Matt had taken all the blood from those guys' bodies. It was absorbing the bodies themselves.

Everything that wasn't bone.

'What a strange weed. What's it absorbing? If they don't have blood on them, then what is it absorbing? And why on earth can it create blood from corpses that don't have blood on them?' He thought doubtfully.

"Get the containers out. It will soon start dropping blood. We must collect it all and then pick out the blood that is good for us and leave the ones that aren't." Alice said, smiling as she pulled out some big containers they had bought earlier.

Matt and Isla also did so and soon began collecting the blood dropped by the bloody herb.

It was a long and tedious process to watch, which made Matt think more and more.

After more than 8 hours, they finally finished.

At this point, the herb looked incredibly radiant and continued to drop blood, but in small amounts, so Matt, Isla, and Alice began to divide the blood.

Not all the blood this bloody herb drops is good for consumption. It must go through a selection process.

And, as Alice had said earlier, this thing dropped about 4 liters of blood per corpse.

Still, after two hours of sorting, only 200 liters of blood were suitable for consumption. The rest was left to the bloody herb to strengthen its roots by bathing them in blood.

But even though it was only 200 liters of blood that they managed to save, that was a large enough amount to surprise them.

You have to keep in mind that it is 200 liters of authentic blood, and even if it is not of the highest quality, it is still authentic blood. It can be used for many things, not only for consumption.

The Academy's most important facilities, such as the Individual Training Grounds, which are running on True Blood, can be used now.

Even Matt doubted if he could ever go there, as it seemed to be a facility made for the ultra-rich, which is why it is shared between the Second and First Academies. But with this...

He was sure he could now go several times if he wanted to.

'This is amazing.' Matt thought with great surprise and a big smile.
