Chapter 176 Vampire Bats and the Dark Book

"Is this. Metal?"

Helen, who had experienced big scenes, was not scared by the "blood factory" in front of her.

She crouched down, examining the square pillar at her side.

"how is this possible?"

Vampires are quite averse to metal.

Ancient vampires sleeping in the underground world will place their hibernation chambers at the top of underground buildings.

The purpose is to touch the earth and wake up from sleep as quickly as possible.

But the metal isolates the vampire from the earth, preventing it from coming into contact with the soil.

Helen stood up and said to Peter, "If this is the lair of the vampire leader, there can't be metal."

Peter understood what she meant, and he reached out and stroked the Queen's smooth head.

Then he said to Helen: "This metal alloy is modern. Obviously, someone entered this hibernation chamber before us and used metal to isolate the sleeping vampires from the earth, trying to prevent them from waking up forever."

He immediately thought of the woman Fletcher he had met before.

But Fletcher is also a vampire, why should he stop these ancient vampires from being reborn? !

The little rascal next to him looked at the "Queen" with some fear.

Although the other party obeyed Spider-Man's orders, he always suddenly appeared from the darkness or disappeared, which made her feel scared.

After all, this is the same kind of creature as the group of aliens that attacked him.

Peter didn't notice the little rascal's expression. He walked to the pool of blood above and examined it.

This seems to be a biological slaughterhouse, where the corpses of humans or other creatures are brutally killed by being hung on ropes high in the air.

The blood flowed through the stone pipe into the square blood pool.

The blood in the blood pool breeds the vampire in the sarcophagus.

Although the blood in the pool has dried up, there is still a faint smell of blood in the air.

Peter raised his head and looked at the desiccated corpse above him.

Judging from the state of decomposition of the corpse, it must have been hung there a long time ago.

With a "bang", Peter jumped off the pool of blood.

Helen walked over and cast her eyes on a nearby sarcophagus.

"This blood factory was originally supposed to be maintained by humans or vampires, but now they should have all been killed by the aliens."

She walked to the sarcophagus and prepared to open the lid.

But a sarcophagus in the distance suddenly made a small "click" sound.

Peter immediately turned his eyes to the coffin.

The little rascal also stepped back in fear and hid behind Peter.

Although she had absorbed the power of ordinary people before, those powers that could deal with ordinary people were not enough in this underground world.

The lid of the coffin was slowly moved, as if the contents were about to come out.

With a "bang", the lid of the coffin was opened and fell to the ground.

Under the little naughty's gaze, not daring to breathe, a pair of pale hands appeared.

The pale and even bony hand suddenly grasped the edge of the coffin.

Then a man in a black robe, pale body and sunken cheekbones stood up from the coffin.

There was a bloodthirsty red light flashing in the other person's eyes, his long hair was disheveled, and his whole body exuded a terrifying aura.

"Blood, blood, blood!"

Seeing the three people standing in front of him, he slowly stretched out his right hand towards Peter, making an unclear hoarse sound from his mouth.

The little rascal looked at the other person's pale, gray skin and pointed ears, and immediately realized that the person in front of him was a sleeping vampire.

She held her breath nervously, watching the other person approaching step by step.

Peter slowly raised his right hand, and the alienated claws instantly covered it.

The awakened vampire in front of him didn't seem to be the kind of being that could communicate.

Just as he was about to chop off the other's head, the vampire who was walking towards him suddenly stopped and let out a long howl to the sky.

The "Queen" couldn't suppress her hunting instinct and rushed forward to fight with the opponent.

But the body of the vampire who made the scream suddenly changed.

The vampire's body rapidly expands and deforms.

As his body grew larger, grey hair sprouted from his body and his giant wings burst through his robes.

As he screamed in pain, his body changed from human to a giant bat.

Helen looked at the vampire that had turned into a giant bat and uttered "Shit!" and "Roar!"

The bat spread its huge fleshy wings and rushed towards the two men.

Peter shot out corrosive spider silk with both hands, aiming at the opponent's head.

Helen waved forward, and black mist quickly spread over her body. At the same time, vines extended from the ground and rushed towards the roaring bats.

Although vampire bats are huge in size, their movements are extremely fierce.

Dodging the attacks of the two men, the bat flew outside.

A black cloak extended from Peter's back. He bent his legs slightly and crushed the stone slab under his feet with a "bang".

Like lightning, it moved instantly to the vicinity of the vampire bat.

The alien claws swung towards the opponent.

At the same time, Helen also came over controlling the vines.

The "Queen" with lightning speed transformed into a killer in the darkness and pounced on the bats in the air.

The vampire bat flashed past Peter's attack and flapped its wings to block Helen's vines.

But the attack of the "Queen" that follows her like a shadow is about to arrive.

The "Queen's" sharp claws tore the vampire bat's wings, causing him to howl in pain.

Peter then punched him in the torso, knocking him out of the air.

With a loud "bang", a hole was knocked out of the ground building, and the huge body of the vampire bat directly crashed through the stone wall and fell inside.

The vampire bat that had just awakened was extremely weak.

Originally, he wanted to treat the human in front of him as food and suck his blood to restore his abilities, but he didn't expect that the other party would be more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

The vampire that was beaten into the building immediately transformed into a human body and escaped through the tunnel entrance of the underground palace.

"Oh!"

Peter and Helen fell into the underground building and immediately chased after the escaping vampire.

If we can catch him, maybe we can figure out what happened here.

The vampire ran at full speed along the underground palace, and the rubble underground was trampled and flew aside by his feet.

Peter, Helen and the Alien Queen were chasing after him with all their might, with the little rascal running at the back.

As the few people passed through an arched corridor, they saw more and more bloodstains on the ground, the arch became lower and lower, and the light in front became brighter and brighter.

The little rascal turned off the flashlight while running.

It looked like the other party was running towards the exit.

Just when she thought she was about to escape, she suddenly found herself in the center of a building.

The arch at the end of the corridor is surprisingly low for this huge city.

But despite this, one could vaguely see that the scene outside the door was incredibly magnificent.

Outside the door was a huge circular area with a diameter of two hundred feet. It was littered with countless rubble and ruins, including many arches that looked like the ones seen before, but were all blocked.

The walls are everywhere, all carved with huge spiral bands.

The vampire fled into a room and pushed open the archway.

What appeared before him was some strange tables and chairs, as well as a recliner with a cylindrical frame structure.

There is also a kind of shelf on which things are placed in hinged volumes.

A book emitting a faint cold light was placed on the hinge.

The vampire unhinged it and took the book in his hands.

The strange magic inscription on the cover flashed in the pitch-black environment.

Holding this strange book in his hand, the vampire opened it and recited a spell rapidly.

As he chanted the spell, his body changed visibly.

As the black energy in the book flowed into his shriveled and thin body, it suddenly became fuller.

Finally, these unknown forces reshaped his body into its normal form.

Looking at the "Dark Book" that was sealed in the secret room and the vampire leader ordered that no vampire could approach it, and now that he had obtained it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Feeling the power filling his body, he turned around and faced Peter and Helen who were chasing after him.

The Dark Book possesses vast knowledge and power. When he opened the book, the pages he saw, the knowledge of magic and taboos, and how to cast spells all came to his mind in an instant.

"Squeak!"

The door opened and Peter and Helen stood before him.
