Chapter 443: Harpies and Naga

The battle has lasted only a little over ten minutes so far.

After all, there weren't many people.

But the result has already completely reversed.

Zhou Qian's squad: Zhou Qian is dead; of the 50 vampire soldiers, only a few escaped.

Zuo Yuan's squad: Zuo Yuan was captured; of the 50 vampire soldiers, likewise only a few are alive, already having fled into the woods.

Of the 300 vampires in the middle, Tang Ruan drew away 80, who now run about the field in chaos.

Whenever anyone breaks free of the provocation, Tang Ruan will use Provoke again, keeping the number steady at around 80.

This is also the upper limit she can draw.

Too many people and she probably couldn't hold up, and her spiritual power isn't enough to keep attracting more.

The remaining 220 vampire warriors fought against the 100 Taoyuan humans.

Although the vampires held every advantage, they still lost several dozen men.

They were also shaken by those women.

Although the vampires still held the advantage, their morale was actually dropping.

Under such circumstances, caught in a pincer attack by Zhao Chi and Gu Jie leading their men, they naturally collapsed outright.

The remaining 100-plus vampires bolted frantically toward the woods.

But at that moment, strange cries suddenly rang out from within the woods.

"Gah, this way!"

"There are 7 gah over here."

"And here, 5."

"Gah gah, here too."

At some unknown point, over a dozen harpies had appeared above the woods.

Constantly reporting the positions of the fleeing vampires.

Harpies' night vision isn't great, but fortunately the vampire soldiers had no ranged ability, so these harpies could all fly just above the treetops.

Being close, of course they could see.

"Stop your goddamn cawing, you mother—"

"Get lost, looking to die?"

"Get the hell away!"

"Yell again and I'll cut you down!"

Although harpies are cowardly, when facing a routed army, their courage swells.

They didn't dare attack directly, but reporting positions all the way was no problem at all.

"Cut down who? Gah."

"You're the ones who're gonna die, gah."

"Stop running, surrender, gah."

The vampire soldiers had originally wanted to threaten them.

But they discovered that firelight had actually appeared in the woods.

Those torches illuminated an extremely wide range, seemingly lighting up a radius of over 20 meters.

This left them nowhere to hide in the darkness, seen with perfect clarity.

Those torches were all held aloft by arms covered in scales.

The owners of those arms actually had 4 hands; the remaining 3 hands each gripped an iron blade, gleaming with a bright yellow sheen in the firelight.

"Shit, what is that?"

"Naga!"

"Why the hell are these things in the woods?"

"No idea, hurry and call Old Li and the others over, the 8 of us aren't a match."

"Who the hell knows where they went?"

"Then what do we do?"

"Run! They're coming!"

"Can we suck their blood?"

"Naga have scales, and their blood conversion efficiency is low, not worth it, and I don't have spiritual power left to summon an energy shield."

"I'm out of spiritual power too, and my armor durability's been hacked to zero."

"Then quit the bullshit and run!"

"I'm out of stamina, can't outrun them."

"No stamina? Then run like hell anyway!"

"Shit, more behind us, we're surrounded."

"Fuck his mother, move!"
