294 A hunter who simply likes to lead the way (4200)
When Nathan left the target location, he felt a little confused. During the subsequent investigation, he discovered that there were not only four vampires in the building. There were dead and fallen vampires on the second and third floors. In total,
There are seven or eight.
Yesterday seemed to be a small gathering among vampires.
This was an unexpected situation for Nathan. If nothing happened to these Vampires, he would have carried out the hunting plan. After rushing through the window, he would probably have faced a group of low-level Vampires besieging them.
This is almost a fatal situation.
He is self-aware. In a one-on-one confrontation without sneak attacks, he is not a low-level vampire opponent.
What's more, they are under siege.
Thinking of this, Nathan was also very frightened, and the clothes on his back were wet with cold sweat. Although every mercury hunter has the awareness of mortality, it does not hinder people's own fear of death.
Rather than dying heroically, he wanted to live well.
Thoughts were tumbling in his mind, and Nathan remembered the question in his mind just now. What forces are hunting these vampires?
Judging from the death scenes of low-level vampires in the building, they had no ability to fight back and were clearly being tortured. That force was as easy and calm as crushing an ant.
These vampire corpses showed no signs of being weakened by thorns and mercury, and they even seemed to have not had time to exert their powerful immortality. Because their clothes had no signs of damage or tears, they died wearing straight formal clothes.
Moreover, the most important thing is that when these low-level vampires died, their skin was gray and their bodies were stiff and stiff.
It looked like it had been drained of energy.
It is strikingly similar to the appearance of human beings who were drained of blood by the vampires and turned into mummies. So, is this a kind of retribution?
Nathan felt very uneasy in his heart. The scene he just saw had a huge mental impact on him. He quickly left the place where he was going and unknowingly came to an underground bar.
Of course, this is also a place for drinking, but the location is quite secretive, and you need a pass to enter.
Nathan took a deep breath and walked down the stairs at the corner into the darkness. After going around a few times, he soon saw the door of a bar open underground. At the door, there were two people wearing sunglasses.
The bodyguard in black stretched out his hand to stop him.
Nathan took off his sunglasses and revealed his pass. A pair of clear blue holes were exposed, like pure sapphires. In the dim environment, they actually emitted a faint gleaming light.
This is the identity mark of the blue-eyed hunter.
"Yeah." "Go in."
The two people at the door nodded and returned to their original positions.
Nathan opened the door and walked in. It was a space with an ordinary bar layout, but it was a little more elegant.
It is more like a community of cafes and bars. There are load-bearing columns and partitions to separate the space, and tables and chairs are set up at regular intervals. At this moment, many people gather together in twos and threes to chat, or go to the bar to get a cocktail.
Drinks.
Generally speaking, there are about ten to twenty people, which is quite a lot at this time. Because all of them have blue eyes.
This underground bar is actually an important stronghold of the mercury hunters. It can be used to communicate and deliver news, repair equipment, issue notices, etc. The mercury hunters are divided into two parts: strict and loose, just like the direct and branch branches of the vampire clan.
Tie.
One has been trained militarically since childhood, as if he were the most elite army. The other walks alone after the training, transforms into a lone wolf, and tracks the vampires. The two have the same purpose, but different methods.
Mingshan City is a large stronghold because it is very close to the Alfama Mountains where the direct blood clan is located. Therefore, the mercury hunters have deployed a certain amount of force here all year round for observation.
At the same time, it also regularly eliminates the large number of branch blood clans who come to Mingshan City to maintain order in the darkness.
At least don't let these vampires get too arrogant.
Nathan was very familiar with this location, so he went directly to the bar and ordered a cocktail. Holding the wine glass, he moved to a crowded place to listen to other people bragging and calm down.
"Drink, finish it in one gulp!"
Among the crowd, there was a bearded man who was the most generous, holding a glass of strong wine in his hand. While greeting others, he raised his head and drank it all. After finishing the glass, he poured it into the bottle again.
After two or three glasses, the wine became richer.
"Kurt, why did you drink so much today?" A man at the bar who had just come in and ordered a glass of wine seemed to know this bearded man, so he slowly walked over and sat next to him.
"In a bad mood? Failed to hunt the target?"
He took a sip of wine and continued.
"Neil, you guessed it right." The big man named Curt shook his head and let out a long belch with a somewhat unhappy expression. He spit out the breath of alcohol and continued: "But it's not because of hunting that I
I feel bad about failure and I come here to drink..."
"It was because I was frightened. I almost pissed myself from fright!"
Kurt put down his wine glass and rubbed his face vigorously with his big, hairy hands. The drunkenness in his boy's mouth was slightly sobered up. He opened his mouth and cursed: "Damn, I was almost scared to death last night. I couldn't sleep no matter how hard I was.
Thinking of that picture..."
A hint of lingering disgust flashed in Curt's eyes. Nathan, who was listening next to him, rubbed his chin and felt that the beginning was familiar for some reason. He seemed to be frightened, so he subconsciously ran to the bar where hunters gathered to relieve stress.
This will make him feel a little more secure...
"Stop being so pretentious and tell me." People around him cheered.
"Wait until I take another sip to calm down the shock." Kurt rubbed his red nose and poured himself a glass of wine. He drank half of the glass in a gulp before continuing: "Do you know about turtles?"
"?" Several hunters around looked at each other and nodded.
"What I saw last night was the turtle." Kurt gritted his teeth and stretched out his hand to press the throbbing veins on his temple: "A low-level vampire died. Before death, all his limbs and head were hammered into the body from the joints.
Looks like a turtle!"
He paused slightly and began to describe in detail the miserable and lifelike death of the vampire he saw.
"There were some vampires nearby, all with traces of torture and interrogation. In fact, for these inhuman monsters, I was quite happy when I saw the tragic death of them at first sight. But then when I carefully examined the traces, I was disgusted and had to wait a moment.
slow…"
Curt picked up the wine glass and drank the rest of the drink.
It seemed that because he raised the topic, some hunters around him also started to talk about their experiences in the past few days, which were vaguely similar to them.
"At dusk the day before yesterday, one of my targets on Fania Avenue in the eastern suburbs of Mingshan City was also killed in advance. The vampire died before it even had time to resist..."
"Me too, I was following a target at noon yesterday and suddenly disappeared. On the way back, I actually saw a body in the river beside the highway. It was the vampire who had been followed..."
"Listening to you guys talking like that, I feel like..."
"..."
In a few words, everyone vaguely outlined a mysterious force. It seemed that in recent days, it had been frantically targeting the Mingshan City branch vampires, using the most cruel and brutal methods. And it was not concealed, and it seemed that it was deliberately done to show the direct vampires.
Nathan listened intently and was secretly frightened.
Suddenly, the door of the bar was pushed open again. A team of four people walked in from the outside. The leader was a one-eyed man wearing an eyepatch and exuding a fierce and cold aura.
"Brother Ossie..."
"Brother Ossie is back."
"How is the situation over there in Falk Town in the western suburbs?"
Many hunters said hello one after another. Obviously this bald head is well-known in this stronghold. Nathan has also heard that the team led by Ossie has been active in Shire County frequently in the past two years, and the success rate of hunting targets can reach more than 70%, which is quite impressive.
.
It is a mercury hunter team that is somewhat famous in the region.
"Brother Osi, what do you say? Did those branch clans gather together for a blood feast? The newspaper said that many people died. I'm afraid half of the town is gone... Damn it..."
A mercury hunter spat, not hiding his disgust for these vampires who were enemies of mankind.
"Are there a lot of vampires? Or are there higher-level vampires appearing? If there are not enough people, you can call us..."
There are people who care about the development of the situation and please come forward.
Ossie, the bald man, didn't answer anyone. He just walked to the bar, ordered a glass of strong drink, and drank it all in one gulp.
He wiped the wine stain on the back of his hand before saying: "There are indeed a lot of vampires in that town, and there are also vampires above the low-level vampires. However, they are the dead ones. The major murders mentioned in the newspapers are dead.
They are all vampires!"
"!
!”
Nathan's eyes shrank, the mercury hunters sitting there became silent, and there was an inexplicable sense of oppression in the air.
"What...what do you mean?" a hunter muttered to himself.
"What do you mean? It means literally. I fucking saw Count Anders in the pile of dead people..."
The strong man Ossie turned around and slapped the wine glass on the counter to signal for more wine. His voice was very strong and he seemed to be unable to control his strength.
"Count Anders?!"
"Fuck! The leader of a branch of the blood clan died like this?"
"That's already a high-level blood clan! This..."
Suddenly, the underground bar felt like a vegetable market. It was noisy and the chatter like flies flying around came and went.
"Okay!" Osi suddenly said loudly: "These people seem to only target the vampires, and they are powerful and mysterious. This is good news. I think we need to report this matter to the headquarters as soon as possible and try to contact these people.
touch…"
"What do you think?" He glanced forward with one eye.
"Agree." "Agree." "I think so." "..."
Nathan shouted the same, his eyes flickering. He always felt that there seemed to be some undercurrents lately, and something big was about to happen.
The current series of shocking events seems to be just the aftermath before a complete and massive eruption of the volcano.
************************
In the past few days, Kaxiu has been busy purchasing goods. What he purchased is not food and weapons, but medical products. The magic healing medicine that solves the problem from the root: blood clan life vibration energy.
This is a good thing.
It is indispensable before entering ancient ruins.
No one knows whether these dangerous venues will pose a threat to veteran fighters. Traps, ancient poisons, dangerous alien species, sleeping high-level vampires... It can be said that they have to be on guard, so Ka Xiu swept through Mingshan City.
The dark creatures in it. Most of them are low-level blood races.
While the training materials are of little use, healing is okay.
In addition, there is another embarrassing reason.
Kaxiu doesn't know the road.
The map shown in the Devil's Book only shows the general location of the Yaqaba ruins and the route within the ruins. However, the Alfama Mountains are very large, and it may take a lot of time to search.
The last time he returned to Shuo, there was heavy fog when Kaxiu entered the mountain. He arrived under the guidance of a strange black shadow.
When I came out of the ruins, I only remembered the path from the exit of the ruins to the place where the Blood Clan's Immortal Blood Ceremony was held.
At that time, Kaxiu and Domeng were chased by scarabs. They hurriedly went to divert the trouble eastward, and soon got into the forest and descended the mountain in darkness.
After such a long time, the forest environment has no characteristics, and it is impossible to remember the specific route. So they planned to capture some vampires for torture, but these low-level vampires did not know. The occasionally captured high-level vampires also had no idea.
The direct bloodline of Alfama seems to have always been very secretive.
But this is normal, after all, there are a bunch of sleeping old immortals lying in the ruins. The true heritage of the Vampire Clan is hidden there.
How could it be possible for outsiders to know the location casually?
So later, Kaxiu and the other three thought they could make the matter bigger. The Alfama direct blood clan who secretly monitored Mingshan City could not calm down. As long as a trace was revealed, the matter would be easy to handle. Whether it is torture or tracking, it is feasible.
.
September 21st, 6pm.
A villa in the suburbs, in a low-key and luxurious building.
Peng!
A Vampire's cheeks were filled with flesh, and its head was deformed and violently knocked out. It smashed into the floor-to-ceiling window and fell heavily among the broken glass in the sky. The dregs were scattered all over the floor.
It was delirious and still wanted to struggle, but the skin all over its body split into nearly a hundred holes in an instant, as if something was trying to squeeze out. It crackled, blood vessels burst, and blood shot out like a squirt gun, dyeing it red.
All around.
boom!
The masonry cracked and a hole exploded in the thick wall.
The blond man slowly walked out from inside, his black boots stepping on the broken glass, making a crisp sound of kacha kacha. His right hand drooped, holding a vampire like a dead dog with his five fingers.
He pulled his hair and dragged out a winding trail of blood.
"Snapped."
With one slap, the vampire was awakened again.
"I ask, you answer."
"Resistance will lead to death, lying will lead to death, speaking without hesitation will lead to death..."
Strong arms lifted the vampire's entire body up.
Two minutes later.
With a gentle press of his palm, the head exploded like a watermelon, splattering on the ground to form an oval shape.
"The desire to survive is quite strong, but the lies are poorly crafted." Card Xiu slowly stood up and looked at the clear sky.
"This bunch of rubbish from the direct blood clan can really hold back. Don't they even dare to come to the discovery site to take a look? They are a bunch of shrinking turtles." He lightly stomped his feet, shaking away the blood droplets on his shoes.
Just as he was about to return, a figure fell over the wall.
It was St. Feinan. He took a few slow steps and came to Ka Xiu in an instant: "Good news, we have found the leading party."
"The interrogation is out?" Ka Xiu raised his eyebrows.
"No, it's not the blood clan. It's a group of mercury hunters who came to the door. They said they knew where the blood ceremony of the direct blood clan's immortal blood ceremony was. They could serve as qualified guides, and they didn't ask for any conditions. They said they
I just like to lead the way, and I have been unhappy with the Vampire clan for a long time..."
