Crack! Crack!
Within the darkness, the wind suddenly howled as if there was a giant monster flapping its wings.
"Demon? Night Family Clan?"
Fang Yuan creased his brows. "How is it possible that there are still traces of a demon appearing so close to Axe Bar?"
The corners of his mouth rose to reveal a smile. "I thought it was Becky who couldn't take it anymore and ran out."
Chi! Chi!
At that moment, strong winds spewed forth, as a large shadow attacked from the air like an eagle hunting for its prey. It had razor-sharp teeth and claws.
Fang Yuan swung with both hands, his sword, Starry Night, radiated with a silver glow in the darkness as it abruptly struck the demon.
Chi! Chi!
An ear-piercing shriek was heard. With the help of the slight illumination, Fang Yuan could finally see who the attacker was.
It was a giant bat that was the size of a large wolf. It was like an albatross when its two wings were spread out. Its bloodshot eyes were frenzied and wild.
"A servant made by Vampires?"
Fang Yuan was able to quickly identify the target in Hulk's memories. Vampires were a large species from the Night Family Clan, and this giant bat-like monster was the cannon fodder that was casually made by them.
"The Rook Area actually has Vampire activity? I don't think it's from a clan that moved here and is just a wanderer. It doesn't have any restrictions and is extremely dangerous!"
Fang Yuan leaned on the sword and panted slightly.
Even though he had rested for a certain period of time, the clashing powers in his chest still caused him to have feelings of nausea and be moody.
Luckily, it was evident that Secret Silver was fatal for the bat monster. It flapped its wings in mid-air but didn't dare to land.
"Ah!"
At that moment, a familiar scream was heard from nearby.
As if it was summoned, the bat monster immediately went towards the origin of the sound.
"That voice is… Becky?!
Fang Yuan took out Howling Grief with a speed that was neither fast nor slow, loaded the bullet into position, put it on his left hand, and then slowly followed behind.
After turning around a corner, a weak orange light gleamed—this was produced from a fallen portable lamp.
Under the light, a gold-haired Demon Hunter lay on the ground, his neck had been bitten, and a large amount of fresh blood was pouring out. His pale face, dilated pupils, and frozen expression all said one thing—he was already dead.
"D*mn… He's already dead, who can I give a slap on the face to in the future?"
Fang Yuan dashed out and promptly looked at the culprit.
"Vampire?"
Among the many legends from previous generations, Vampires—No! The actions of Blood clans were graceful, and they had an attractive appearance. Furthermore, all of them were wealthy and even owned a castle—they were obviously prince-charming. Aside from having to drink something special, they were no different from any normal human being.
However, Fang Yuan felt very grossed out after seeing the real vampire now.
The Vampires in the Alcala Mainland were part of the Night Family Clan. They played a large role in spreading fear and plagues and were neither high-class nor elegant at all.
Appearing in front of Fang Yuan was a Pure Vampire—its skin was deathly white and had many folds piling together; it was naked and had no hair on its body or head; its nose was rotted, with only two disgusting nostrils left; with sharp ears, similar to that of a bat. Seeing it fully, it was like a wild beast in human form.
At the moment, it was on Becky's corpse, greedily sucking the fresh blood.
No matter how brave a person was, they would probably have nightmares when they witness this scene.
"It really is a wanderer, did it become confused due to its damaged will and its thirst for fresh blood? It even went against basic hunting rules…" Fang Yuan couldn't help but sigh after seeing what had happened.
Of course, when compared to it, Becky was an even more unfortunate person that was killed by the hungry Vampire and had no time for regrets.
After all, compared to the Hulk from before, Becky was a newbie among newbies, or else he wouldn't have needed to confirm that Hulk had suffered from serious injuries before jumping out to make things difficult for him.
Bloop! Bloop!
It seems that this wanderer was too hungry before and became violent. Even if a Demon Hunter was looking at it, it didn't stop.
In the silent night, its throat moved, the slurping sound of blood was extremely obvious, causing people to tremble with fear.
"This is the Night Family Clan? It really does have research value!" Fang Yuan watched as his eyes lit up. "Although its appearance and behavior are completely different from that of a demon, this world… might have the existence of something that is similar to the original energy of the Purple Eye Realm!"
The characteristic of the original energy was its ability to radiate low-level energy like a perpetual motion machine.
This characteristic immediately made Fang Yuan think of the Evil Demon's earliest ancestor that was recorded in the legends—Mother of Reproduction!
"It's a pity… to Demon Hunters, an Evil Demon is the most difficult energy to face. Let's not talk about the Mother of Reproduction, it had long vanished for many years now…"
Fang Yuan raised Howling Grief, wondering if he should shoot the Vampire in front of him.
Chi! Chi!
It seemed that his killing intent had startled the Vampire. It raised its head viciously, bright-red pupils filled with hatred.
Crack! Crack!
In the night, the wind beat in the air, and two of the bat monsters from before flew over to attack him.
"I was only playing with you… you thought I was serious!"
Fang Yuan released his grip on Starry Night with his right hand as two silver throwing knives appeared abruptly, he threw them.
Ping! Ping!
Two silver lights formed a beautiful arc in the air and went straight for the two bat monsters' foreheads, embedding themselves in them.
Accompanying a large sound, the large bats fell to the ground.
"Although my strength hasn't fully recovered, I have above-average magical energy, and my meticulous operation is incomparable. With my Fiery Golden Eyes, I've long seen through the weakness of this type of demon… Just by using a normal person's strength to throw a dagger, it can be stopped and killed!" Fang Yuan thought silently in his heart and looked at the vampire in front of him again.
The two large bats were only servants. Only this Vampire was the real member of the Night Family Clan, and a had high research value.
"Demon… Demon hunter?!"
The vampire looked at Fang Yuan, and a hoarse sound came from its throat like a broken bellow. "Your blood… give it to me!"
As if it had just learned how to talk like a human, its pronunciation was unclear. Just when the words came out, like a wild beast, its whole body was already pouncing towards Fang Yuan.
Based on its speed and strength, it had far exceeded the bat monsters from before.
Swoosh!
Fang Yuan threw a knife, and the vampire opposite him titled its head, causing the dagger to embed itself into its shoulder.
"No way… this body is still too weak, my attacks will be avoided…"
He held Starry Night and tilted his body, the sword formed an amazing arc in the air before colliding straight into the Vampire's arm.
Ding!
A low sound was heard as if the sword struck leather. Fang Yuan felt that the opponent's arm was made of metal, and at the same time, it had high elasticity and was able to move away from his sword.
"Vampire limbs are hard. It can even overcome gunfire, has immense strength, and can move quickly… They're a large species in the Night Family Clan…" Some knowledge appeared in his mind. "However, these vampires are still incomparable to the upper tiers in the Night Family Clan…"
Fang Yuan moved constantly and used his techniques to dodge.
Based on his current body's aptitude, competing against it, toughness vs toughness, wouldn't make him a match for the vampire naturally.
However, the Secret Silver sword in his hands and the flintlock were enough to let the vampire opposite him have second thoughts.
"Huff…"
After they criss-crossed once again, Fang Yuan looked at the vampire which was on all fours, ready to pounce, and breathed heavily. "There's only… one chance!"
His throwing knives and sword weren't a match for the vampire. He could only gamble with the gun in his hands.
This type of gun contained processed gunpowder and had considerable power to restrain the power of darkness. With the additional iron bullets that were coated with Secret Silver, it could definitely heavily injure the Vampire!
"D*mn it, it's actually a single-shot gun, Hulk was a really poor guy who can't even buy the newest gun series with a repeater…" Fang Yuan felt sorry for him.
Swoosh!
At that moment, the Vampire opposite him aggressively pounced at him.
Fang Yuan had long predicted this move and had moved to the side a little earlier.
However, something happened at that moment!
The Vampire opened its large mouth in the air and a scarlet red tongue, like a long snake, swept towards Fang Yuan.
Whoosh!
The tongue wrapped around the sword, emitting large amounts of smoke. However, this Vampire had no intention of releasing its grip. It viciously pulled, and Fang Yuan's entire body was pulled towards it.
Seeing that the Demon Hunter had lost his balance mid-air, a thirst for blood appeared in the Vampire's eyes as it aggressively pounced.
It was getting closer, and closer!
Its sharp claws were already in front of him, almost able to touch the Demon Hunter's neck.
The pupils of the Vampire were extremely red as if it already saw the scene of broken skin and torn blood vessels with excessive amounts of blood pouring out.
However, it promptly realized that there was a black gun barrel pointed at its forehead.
Thump!
Sparks flew, blood and brain juice splattered all over the floor.
Under the attack of Howling Grief, the Vampire's head was like a watermelon and exploded.
Thump!
Fang Yuan fell to the ground, exhausted, and panted. "The Vampire… thought that I would forget about this?"
He slowly crawled up, supporting his chest, and cursed in a low voice, "D*mn… If it wasn't for my injury, I wouldn't have taken the risk. Just a meer Vampire…"
Thinking about this, he took action immediately, cutting open the chest of the Vampire and digging out its bloody heart.
"The most important ingredient of the vampire is the blood situated at the apex of its heart. It has a strong contagious effect and is good for treatment. Pharmacists remove the bacteria on it and use it as an active ingredient for treatment water—'Demon Hunter Ingredient Study', chapter 9, verse 4, the handling after killing a vampire.'"
"Someone's coming?"
Fang Yuan looked at the direction of the Axe Bar. The drunk Demon Hunters were obviously startled by the gunfire and came out to look. They took a glance at the remains of the Vampire corpse with regret before quickly disappearing into the night.
