218: Empty out the Blood Fortress! Summon the Fruit Servant Clan!

[rune fresh heart jar: A heart jar unique to the Vampire race used to maintain the heart's vitality. Through special materials, it can prompt the heart to pump out enough blood essence for Vampires to use every month. Note: If the corresponding Rune for opening the jar is not mastered, rashly opening the jar will cause the heart stored inside to instantly die.]

"This is the source from which the Vampire Grand Duke drew blood?" Su Lie frowned upon seeing this.

After some thought, he still collected all these items.

These things were useless to him, but they were extremely useful to Vampires.

He could use them to trade for resources.

According to his count, there were a total of three thousand rune fresh heart jars.

Moreover, they were not only in the boxes in the fourth row, but also in the boxes in the fifth, sixth, all the way to the last ninth row.

Following that, Su Lie looked towards the final space.

A long, slotted chest was placed on the floor here.

This chest was about 70 meters long and 2 meters wide.

Each slot was about 10 meters long, 2 meters wide, and 1.5 meters high.

Inside the chest were blood-red jade coins.

The value of each of these coins was 10.

Complex Rune formations were engraved on their backs, and there were some unique markings along the edges.

These coins were almost identical in diameter and thickness to the 1 Yuan coins from Su Lie's hometown.

Su Lie looked at its panel using the Eye of Identification.

[blood coins: Currency; the exclusive high-grade trading currency of the Blood Secret Realm. Its maximum denomination is 10, and its minimum is 1. Note: This currency is naturally bred from the Blood Secret Realm coin mine. Once it leaves the Blood Secret Realm, it will turn into dust.]

"So it's useless if I take it out?" Su Lie narrowed his eyes slightly. "What about trading with other Blood Kin?"

This method was feasible.

Immediately, he thought of using his Enhancement Talent.

Right away, he used his Enhancement Talent on the blood coins.

[Buzz!]

Under the Enhancement Talent, the blood coins' value remained 10, but their patterns and color changed.

In particular, the color shifted from blood-red to dark-red.

It was as if they had aged under Su Lie's Enhancement Talent.

Su Lie looked at its panel again.

[Dark Blood Coin: Currency; the exclusive top-tier trading currency of the Blood Secret Realm. Its maximum denomination is 10, and its minimum is 1. Note: This currency is naturally bred from the Blood Secret Realm coin mine over ten thousand years. Once it leaves the Blood Secret Realm, it will turn into dust. Note: Due to the rarity of this currency, it has been relegated from a primary trading currency to a collector's currency. Note: Fewer and fewer beings recognize this currency nowadays, and many beings in the Blood Secret Realm do not accept it. Note: This currency is worth 50 blood coins! You can only obtain such a generous profit by trading it to someone who recognizes its value; otherwise, it will be worthless!]

"Damn it! I strengthened it for nothing!" Su Lie hadn't expected the strengthened currency to become useless trash.

He decided not to waste any more resources.

He stored all the blood coins inside his ruyi pouch.

Based on his calculations, there were a total of 218,656,209 coins, worth 2 billion blood coins.

This was an enormous sum.

Su Lie then looked up at the shelves on the wall.

The first shelf held 20 Skill Books exclusive to the Vampire race.

There were 5 books each ranging from ordinary quality to golden legend quality.

These were 5 different sets of combat techniques!

The second layer held 50 oak jars.

The jars contained 10,000 stone ore veins, 10,000 iron ore veins, and 10 blood coins ore veins.

The third layer held ten different spatial materials.

These materials were all blue rare quality; six were spatial fear sacs from fierce beasts, and the rest were space fragments.

"Haha! I won't be lacking spatial materials now! All I need to do next is complete the extraction of the heart of the ore vein, and I can complete the Shelter's second promotion mission!" Su Lie laughed excitedly.

He then looked at the top shelf.

A nanmu box was stored there, containing a blueprint.

This blueprint was called mining machine!

"Hiss! I didn't expect to obtain the blueprint for a mining machine here?" Su Lie immediately grew excited at the sight.

This was even more appealing to him than all the wealth besides the spatial materials.

With this item, he could rapidly mine mineral resources.

Once he manufactured 9,999 units, he could obtain the required number of heart of the ore vein in just one day.

Thinking of this, he impatiently took out his Eye of Identification.

Soon, a panel appeared in Su Lie's view.

This was a blue rare quality mining machine manufacturing blueprint.

The specific content was the same as the mining machine he had previously obtained.

"Good! As soon as I go back, I'll start mass-producing mining machines! Now I can finally quickly promote the Shelter!" Su Lie laughed.

By this point, he had collected all the resources in Grand Duke William's treasury.

When he left this place, he also took the silver light beads from the secret room and the stair corridor.

Following that, Su Lie collected all the furniture and items on Grand Duke William's ninth floor.

Although the things inside were not valuable, they could be used as furniture to decorate the Shelter.

Especially since there were many oil paintings and sculptures inside.

Afterward, Su Lie came to the second floor of the castle and collected everything there as well.

This caused the Apple Warriors and Watermelon People chefs on this floor to kneel in fear, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.

At this moment, they realized their death might be imminent.

Fell, the Watermelon People steward, couldn't help but secretly wipe away tears.

Su Lie said to Fell: "Fell! Gather all the army, servants, and citizens in the territory together. I have an important announcement to make!"

This made Fell's heart tremble.

Thump!

Fell immediately knelt on the ground and cried out: "Master! Please forgive the sins of the Fruit Clan! This old servant is willing to die in place of my kin who have committed crimes, I only beg the Master to allow the Fruit Clan to leave behind the seeds of reproduction!"

"Hmph! Stop haggling here! I have a bounty mission to announce! If you can meet my requirements, you will not only gain wealth but also freedom!" Su Lie took out a stack of more than twenty thousand servant contracts, and he said with his head held high: "At that time, I will destroy all these contracts!"

Whoosh!

Fell and the other Fruit People trembled.

They looked at Su Lie in disbelief, and intense emotions and desires surged within their hearts.

Upon hearing this, Fell immediately kowtowed and said: "Thank you for your immense kindness, Master! Fell will surely satisfy all the Master's needs! No! The Fruit Clan will definitely obey the Master's commands!" After speaking, he quickly walked outside.

Su Lie, meanwhile, went down to the first floor himself, collecting the tables, chairs, decorative paintings, sculptures, and other furniture and collections one by one into the ruyi pouch.

At this point, he had completely looted everything from the upper floors of the Blood Fortress.

Su Lie then went to the lower levels of the Blood Fortress.

The first three underground floors were stocked with blue rare quality bloody mary.

They contained 1,000 oak barrels, each about 4 meters high and 3 meters in diameter.

Each oak barrel stored 28 tons of bloody mary.

The middle three floors were stocked with a large number of farming tools and armor.

These were the most common resources, and they were all forged according to the physical characteristics of the Fruit People.

The last three floors were the Blood Fortress's prisoners.

Currently, there were only prisoners on the very bottom floor.

Clearly, this prisoner was the target of Su Lie's Opportunity Mission: the Goddess of Deer.

He stopped at the Dungeon door but did not enter, instead turning around and leaving immediately.

After Su Lie had completely looted every space except for the Dungeon, he returned to the surface.

At this moment, more than twenty thousand Fruit People had gathered in the square outside the Blood Fortress gate.

Among them were Apple Warriors, Watermelon People servants, and Banana People and Pitaya People whom Su Lie had never seen before.

"Greetings, Master!" When the Fruit People saw Su Lie, they all knelt and kowtowed.

Su Lie looked at the Fruit People, smiled faintly, and then said: "I require large amounts of blood-sucking wood, plantable dragon hair grass, and dragon blood carbon!"

"Every 100 units of blood-sucking wood can be exchanged for 10 blood coins valued at 10. Every 1,000 stalks of dragon hair grass can be exchanged for the same amount of blood coins, and the price is the same for every ton of dragon blood carbon!"

"Furthermore, as long as the amount of resources you acquire reaches 10,000 units, you will not only receive an additional 1,000 blood coins but also gain your freedom! I will tear up your servitude contracts!"

These words instantly invigorated all the Apple People.

One elderly Pitaya Person bravely stood up and earnestly asked: "Our respected Master! We should unconditionally obey your command! However, your mission is indeed very arduous and dangerous, and we require you to swear an oath to the mist rule! Please forgive my distrust of you!"

"This old one is willing to use his own life to exchange for your promised oath!" Poof!

After the Pitaya Person finished speaking, he actually exploded.

Su Lie couldn't help but frown.

He still needed these Fruit People to help him gather resources.

It would be a waste if they died like this!

Immediately, Su Lie quickly said: "Impudence! You are all my resources, and no one is allowed to die before completing my mission!"

"But I can swear that as long as you complete my mission, I will certainly restore your freedom!"

Saying this, he swore an oath to the mist rule in the name of Grand Duke William.

This caused the Fruit People to weep with joy, kowtowing in gratitude.

As the Fruit People, servants, and warriors of the castle went home to fetch their tools, Su Lie called the steward Fell to his side: "Fell! Tell me about the surrounding situation!"
