Chapter 2173

But Xia De did not lower his guard, because immediately after, hundreds of bats flew out from that pile of collapsed flesh and blood, densely flying off in all directions.

"Because it's not a pure vampire species, it relied on the resistance of its giant dragon bloodline to avoid being poisoned to death? Since that's the case... Corrupting Blood Mist!"

He bit his tongue, widened his eyes, and took a sharp breath, then sprayed a mouthful of blood mist carrying a scarlet glow from his mouth. The effect of this miracle was surprisingly good; the bats stained by the mist melted into blood and dissolved into the mist in almost a second, with only five fast-flying bats luckily escaping the range of this scarlet blood mist.

"Which one is the main body?"

【All of them are.】

"What?"

A brilliant moonlight was struck out by Xia De, but in the end, two bats still escaped his attack range. Unable to spare the time to be surprised by this monster's powerful clones and vitality, Xia De in the alley blinked his eyes:

"Blood Echo!"

The black blood itself also contained blood; although the two bats that escaped no longer had the toxicity of the black blood, they still had bloodstains on them. Thus, a fluorescent red bat phantom appeared in Xia De's field of vision. He jumped from where he stood, and in a silver ball of light, the silvery-white cat nimbly jumped onto the roof. The cat's head looked left and right, then stepped on the roof, and under the thin starlight, chased after the traces of the two bats and ran into the distance.

The taste of "black blood" is more obvious to a vampire species than any foul odor. The wine bottle Xia De just shattered had been strictly sealed to ensure the scent wouldn't leak out prematurely, and once this smell spread, according to Mr. Bernhardt, it would be more nauseating than the dirtiest toilet in the countryside.

So while Xia De turned into a cat to pursue, he believed that Mr. Bernhardt in the distance was definitely also chasing the enemy. Facts also proved that Mr. Bernhardt was indeed quite reliable. When Xia De was tracking the small bat's trail and jumping on the continuous roofs of the Lower City, crossing those wild cats fighting on the roofs, waking up the bats hanging upside down under the eaves of high-rise buildings, and disturbing some couple who didn't know where they were "fighting," and finally jumped down from a three-story apartment building along the street and landed precisely on the decorative support rod used to support the lampshade on the side of the top of the street lamp pole, Mr. Bernhardt had already blocked the monster that had been drenched in black blood and had most of its flesh melted away by the Corrupting Blood Mist.

This is the edge of the slums in the southwest of Moon Bay City; continuing to move southwest would enter the area of Moon Bay Wharf. Most of the buildings nearby are office buildings and warehouses of multinational trading companies, and there are almost no pedestrians on the street at night.

And when the sharp-eyed silver cat saw Mr. Bernhardt, there was more than one person in front of him.

Xia De first looked at the guy in the black robe lying on the ground. He was like a terrifying puddle of melted flesh tissue, constantly trembling on the ground, with black spots and scarlet sores covering the flesh tissue exposed outside the black robe. The former was the effect of the black blood, and the latter was the effect of Xia De's miracle "Corrupting Blood Mist"; the bats that escaped had ultimately been stained with some mist.

On the other side of the terrifying monster lying on the ground were two men standing together. Xia De didn't recognize either of these two, but blood-colored mist was surging from their bodies at this moment. Looking closer, small bat marks were clearly hanging above both of their heads, which meant they were also vampire species.

"What's the situation? Is this finding the mastermind?"

Seeing that neither side showed signs of making a move for the time being, Xia De, who was squatting on the street lamp pole, did not reveal himself immediately, but used the body size advantage of the transformation spell to continue hiding in this most conspicuous safe place.

"Fellow clansmen from the New Continent?"

Although it was one against two, Mr. Bernhardt was not panicked at all. He took his hat in his hand in a leisurely manner, and his tone was particularly stylish when he spoke:

"The 【Blood Spirit School】 also wants to intervene in this matter?"

"Them again?"

Xia De was surprised for a moment, then continued to watch. He saw the two men with blood mist surging around their bodies look at each other, and then took the initiative to bow to Mr. Bernhardt, but their eyes were still fixed on him:

"Good evening, Viscount."

What is mentioned here should not be the title, but the status in the clan:

"You probably have a misunderstanding; we have not cooperated with the 【Dragon Feast Sect】. We cooperated with that 13-ring diviner in the Green Lake area, investing and contributing data, hoping to find a way for vampire species to better adapt to the power of giant dragons. Now that diviner died at the hands of the 'God-Awakener', but there is still a copy of the research data in the hands of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】. Since the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 already has a successful test subject..."

One of them pointed to the wriggling monster on the ground:

"Your Excellency 'Blood Weeper', let us take it back to the New Continent."

They were exceptionally polite when talking to Mr. Bernhardt:

"Viscount, we know the current situation in the Moon Bay area, and we know more than you do. The 【Dragon Feast Sect】 has already gone crazy under the guidance of their gods. How about this, you leave this thing to us, and we can share some intelligence with you."

Mr. Bernhardt shook his head:

"If you knew the situation in Moon Bay, you should understand that I need this to vindicate our fellow clansmen in Moon Bay. And you guys who joined the 【Blood Spirit School】 and contributed blood to that organization have already been regarded as traitors to the vampire species. You actually want to negotiate with me?"

The two vampire species standing opposite him looked at each other, and then said to Mr. Bernhardt together:

"Then Viscount, please forgive our offense, we are truly sorry!"

The three of them turned into blood mist almost at the same time, and then the three blood mists rose into the air together, constantly colliding and entangling above the street. Hundreds of scarlet bats burst out from those blood mists, colliding and exploding like bombs. The bats that were originally hanging upside down under the eaves flew away with a clatter, and the sharp cries that ordinary human ears could not capture finally disturbed this peaceful night.

The monster that was originally lying on the ground took this opportunity to immediately turn into a ball of blood mist and leave from a side alley. Mr. Bernhardt, who could suppress his opponents even when one against two, wanted to pursue, but seeing a silver cat chasing after it, he patiently stayed behind to fight the two fellow clansmen.

He was actually very curious about what kind of intelligence these vampire species traitors had mastered regarding the 【Dragon Feast Sect】.

On the other side, the silver cat continued to track the fleeing monster. He could have made a move immediately, but because he wanted to know where the other party was going to escape to, he planned to follow for a while longer. This monster had been hiding in this city for a long time, and even Miss Belinder could not immediately divine its hiding place. Xia De felt that the location where the other party was hiding might also have something fishy.

Thus, the cat and the monster soon entered the warehouse area of the wharf along the deep alley. Even in the daytime, there are few pedestrians in the warehouse area, and at night, it is even more quiet, making people feel panicked.

The seriously injured monster, during its escape, used the powerful self-healing ability of its "vampire species" and "dragon" to finally barely recover into a human form. It was just that when it appeared from another alley entrance and tried to cross the street to enter the alley on the other side, with a light hum, an invisible wind blade left a deep mark on the ground in front of it.

Two people walked out from the alley entrance, one of whom Xia De recognized; it was the holder of the 【Sword of the Wind King】 who intervened in their team mission this spring and was searching for dragon egg fossils on the ship not long ago. If Xia De remembered correctly, he called himself "John Flynn" and belonged to the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Society】 organization.

Because Mr. Edmond mentioned that the Sage-level relic 【Sword of the Wind King】 was also one of the holy swords that could potentially summon the "Sword of Light", Xia De took another look at the invisible sword in his hand. As for the young woman accompanying him, she was probably also a member of the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Society】.

"Why has no one found this monster for so long? Tonight, just after Mr. Bernhardt and I took action, everyone has come looking?"

Xia De thought with some surprise in his heart, while "She" asked gently:

【Is it possible that it was the fight between the vampire species just now that attracted these people?】

"Her" conjecture made a lot of sense, because at the same time the two from the 【New Continent Mutual Aid Society】 appeared, three more people appeared from the right side of the dark street.

Xia De recognized one of them immediately; the black dragon scale on his face proved that he was the cultist of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 that Xia De met on the riverbank when he went to ask Miss Lisa for clues. It was just that compared to when he was punched away by Xia De a few weeks ago, the area of the dragon scales on his face had become larger at this time.

And his two companions also had different non-human characteristics on their bodies. The slightly shorter blond man had two imperceptible "horn"-like organs on both sides of his forehead, but wearing a hat should be able to cover them; and the man who was relatively fat, leaning on a cane and having greasy black hair, had his entire right hand holding the cane alienated into a claw-like structure.

"【Dragon Feast Sect】?"

The young man holding the invisible sword asked, and the middle-aged man with black dragon scales on his face said to his two companions:

"Solve them, quick battle, quick decision."

The short blond man and the fat black-haired man walked out in silence, and "John Flynn" and his female companion also stopped speaking. The life rings behind the four of them appeared at the same time, and after two silence spells were thrown onto the ground, the ring warlocks began this battle.

The seriously injured monster drilled into the alley to continue fleeing, and the cultist with black dragon scales on his face followed closely behind him, while the silver cat followed at the very end.

The venue shifted again, and they finally arrived at the coast at the end of the wharf. When the monster stopped in front of the ocean, the cultist finally spoke:

"Take me to find what you found underground, and I can promise that you can become a formal member among us."
