C16 Blood Hunting
Ye Piao woke up from the great pressure. He was shocked to find that he was being held down by something. He tried to struggle but couldn't. He panicked. Did he get caught? Impossible? He should be aware of it if someone came.
That's not right! It felt like he was being held down by something. He had been caught, and was basically buried by the soil, so he did not have much time to think about it. With a loud bellow, he jumped up to a height of a hundred meters and sent the dirt and rubble flying all around the grave.
It seemed like it was time for his journey. However, when Ye Piao's gaze landed on the many graves on the unmarked cemetery, he was startled because he did not know why, but all the graves had sunk down, leaving behind only a small pile of soil. Adding to the weeds on the ground, no one would be able to tell that this was the unmarked cemetery.
When he thought about how he was buried underground, Ye Piao was even more confused. He had obviously entered the coffin before, so how come it only took him one day to turn the coffin into powder? It caused him to be buried under the soil.
Ye Piao took out the magic crystal from his bosom. Indeed, the purple color of the magic crystal had now turned black, if one felt it carefully, they would find that it contained endless death energy. If Yin energy was too concentrated, it would form death energy. But who was the female BOSS in the demon crystal? She absorbed so much Yin Qi, yet she was still safe and sound in the dead qi. Who exactly was she?
Ye Piao didn't think too much about it. Just as he was about to rush to Mount Kunlun, he suddenly realized something. Why was he still going to Mount Kunlun? Previously, he had been looking for Jing Hao to hide the magic crystal, but now it seemed like there was no need for this because the magic crystal was even stronger than him. Perhaps in the future, he would encounter some life or death situation and the magic crystal would once again pull him out of the hands of the god of death.
If that was the case, then he no longer needed to go to Mount Kunlun.
Thinking about this, Ye Piao gave up on his idea to go to Karakorum. However, he suddenly felt that he didn't have any goal. If he didn't go to Karakorum, what would he be doing now? Wandering around randomly?
Ye Piao shook his head as he aimlessly walked down the mountain, but his mind was still making plans for himself. The world after a thousand years was a completely new environment for him; he needed to slowly get to know and understand it. What he heard might not be true.
After all, Ye Piao was a zombie, and any zombie was born with a love for the smell of blood. However, Ye Piao was still conscious, and could restrain himself, so normally, zombies that jumped into a stalemate would go crazy the moment they saw blood, and would desperately suck it in.
Ye Piao raised his head in alarm and saw a small mountain village. Due to the distance, coupled with the fact that the night was falling, the mountain village looked ethereal, like a mirage. Ye Piao restrained all of his Qi, and like a shadow of the night, they quickly rushed towards the mountain village.
The terror of a zombie could be revealed here, because no one would be able to detect its existence, because a zombie was basically just a corpse. Without a soul, of course, there would be no fluctuations of life, but he could secretly spy on the existence of humans.
The closer they got to the village, the stronger the smell of blood. The same was true for Ye Wandering. However, it wasn't because of his strong need for blood, but because the smell made him more active and unable to calm down.
"There's such a strong smell of blood. Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be there. What happened?" He remembered the vampire from last night, and his eyes turned cold. He had long since heard that the vampire would drink a large amount of blood to heal his wounds, could it be that the vampire had come here to drink human blood after getting injured? Ye Piao didn't dare to continue thinking about this. He could only speed up his speed and rush forward …
"Heavens, this …" "What happened …" Ye Piao stood at the entrance of the village and looked at the corpses hanging on the trees with his mouth wide open in shock.
At the entrance of the village, seven corpses were hanging on the big tree. From the corpses' hideous faces, it could be seen that they had seen something horrifying before they died. With a wave of his right hand, a stream of corpse Qi appeared and cut the rope that tied the corpses to the ground. With a "plop" sound, the corpse fell to the ground.
However, in the next moment, Ye Piao was stunned, because he discovered that the spirit in the corpse had disappeared, and the spirit would not leave the human body, even after death, the spirit would not leave the human body. Only when the corpse rotted and was unable to bear the spirit, would the spirit dissipate into the air.
Therefore, people referred to the two as "soul" and "soul". After a person died, their soul would leave their body, and if the corpse was placed in the resting area, it would not be able to rot and the spirit would not dissipate, then as long as the corpse had enough corpse Qi, it would become a zombie.
But why had the spirit of the corpse disappeared as well? Could it be that this vampire also absorbed souls? But what was the use of a vampire consuming a soul? "Unlike the Eastern Zombies, zombies absorb spirit souls to strengthen themselves, but the zombies that dare to absorb spirit souls must have at least a high level cultivation base, because at that time, the zombie's main body is already strong enough to absorb a mortal's spirit soul. If the zombie's cultivation level is too low, it is very likely that the two types of spirit souls will mutually reject each other and eventually explode, causing its body to explode.
But the vampire didn't need his spirit to strengthen himself, right? Ye Piao couldn't figure it out, so he put down the other six bodies and checked them one by one. All of them had lost their souls, and not a single drop of blood remained.
Ye Wandering stood up with a frown as his thoughts raced. Why did this vampire want to absorb the spirits of these villagers? And why hang the body on a tree? Was he trying to show off to someone or some force? Or was he showing off his strength?
Wait! Ye Wandering suddenly had a flash of inspiration. What if this wasn't done by a vampire? Then... In other words, there were zombies too! That's right! Those who ingested blood and souls were only zombies! Ye Piao was enlightened. If it was a zombie, then it was reasonable as to why it lost its spirit.
Ye Piao quickly squatted down to inspect the corpse's wound, but he was disappointed. There was no corpse poison on the wound, not even a little. This made sense, how could a corpse that had been devoured by a zombie not have corpse poison? However, with such a high cultivation level, the Zombie BOSS would not do such a silly thing. Moreover, Ye Wandering firmly believed that with the high cultivation level of the zombie, aside from the four Corpse Ancestors, there would not be a fifth other existence. However, the four Corpse Patriarchs had disappeared for thousands of years, so this matter should not be related to them.
In the end, he just went into the village to search. Perhaps he could find some clues, but after entering the village, even the zombie Ye Piao could feel a chill down his spine. This was not a village, this was a hell on earth.
The village was littered with corpses, and their faces were filled with fear. This was different from vampires, because the human corpses that were being devoured by vampires looked peaceful, even enjoyable. However, these corpses all looked terrified.
Moreover, the village was showing signs of being robbed. Ye Piao entered a house. It was very messy. There was an old granny's corpse lying on the ground. Her blood was not absorbed, but her spirit was lost.
Ye Piao walked around the village. It was clear that this village had been massacred by someone or some force, and there was not a single survivor. Furthermore, Ye Piao had found a suspicious point, and that was that the entire village did not have the corpse of a strong man, but were filled with elderly women and children. The more Ye Piao thought about it, the more confused he became. Was this the work of a vampire or a zombie?
At this moment, a black shadow flew over Ye Piao's head and disappeared into a house not too far away. Ye Piao didn't think too much and immediately gave chase.
In the house, Ye Piao finally saw the black shadow. It was a blonde with a short knife on her back and was wearing a tight black robe. She was clearly from the Western world.
The lady felt movement behind her and immediately unsheathed her dagger. She turned around and looked at Ye Piao, a red light flashing across her eyes.
"Vampires!" Seeing the bloodshot glint in the girl's eyes, Ye Piao let out a scream and unconsciously took a step back. He quickly got ready for battle. F * ck! These people were really killed by the vampires! Damn Western bastard!
The female vampire frowned as she looked at Ye Wandering. It wasn't just because of his hostility towards her, but more so because she couldn't feel the life in front of her.
Before the vampire could react, Ye Piao's corpse qi blade came whistling towards him. The vampire was shocked, as if he didn't understand why Ye Piao would suddenly attack him. He immediately used the knife in his hand, causing a mist of blood to explode and block the corpse qi blade.
Without thinking much, the vampire immediately raised his blade to block Ye Wandering's two claws. The two of them instantly clashed, and the surging force from all directions crushed the items on the ground into pieces, causing the corpse Qi in Ye Piao's body to surge violently, and the vampire's body was also surrounded by a layer of blood mist. The corpse mist and the corpse mist were tearing at each other, releasing a series of "chi chi" sounds, and violent energy waves rolled out in all directions, causing the house to collapse.
"Ah!" He held the black sword with one hand and twisted it in the air, the blade in his right hand slashing down towards the vampire. The vampire had just stuck his head out of the collapsed house when he saw a black battle blade and was overwhelmed with shock, his left hand instinctively threw out a red light, the blood light collided with the sword in Ye Piao's hand, causing Ye Piao to fly out, the battle blade also made a buzzing sound, and in that moment, Ye Piao saw a red light flash on the blade, as if it was a spell, but he did not take a closer look.
"Just who are you!?" What deep hatred and hatred do we have between us to kill me everywhere! " The Vampire stood still and looked at Ye Wandering, who was standing in front of him.
Ye Piao was stunned when he heard the western vampire speak in pure Chinese. If it was just from the voice alone, he would think that the vampire was from the East.
Hearing the vampire's words, Ye Wandering gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph!" You unforgivable vampire, you killed so many people in the village! Shouldn't you be killing him?! "
The vampire was stunned, then quickly said, "So that's why you said that, but you misunderstood, I didn't kill these people. Although I'm a vampire, but I've left the blood clan and the human world calls us Blood Hunting."
Blood Hunting: To put it bluntly, it's a vampire hunter. It's called "Blood Hunting". Most of them were humans who had fought vampires to preserve the survival of the human race. There were also a few vampires who had turned to the Blood Hunting because they were tired of the life of the Strigoi. This vampire belonged to the latter.
However, Ye Piao had never heard of the so-called "Blood Hunting". He sneered, "Come on, you didn't do it. Is there someone else?"
"My name is Ethel. I came to the Eastern Continent a week ago, and I'm not the one who did this," the vampire said calmly.
"Is that so? "Hee hee …" Ye Piao laughed sinisterly. He would not believe the words of a vampire. His right hand moved, and the blade in his hand whizzed out again.
Since she didn't understand, there was no need to waste any time. In that moment, the scarlet blood mist and the black corpse aura clashed once again, and from afar, one could only see two figures fighting in the middle of the black and red auras. The sounds of the collisions and the explosions did not stop, and the surrounding houses were also shaken by the violent energy fluctuations.
It could be seen that Ethel was no ordinary vampire either. She was actually able to fight against the mid-leveled Ye Wandering head on. Her strength was truly extraordinary.
On one of the cliffs stood two handsome youths. One had a long sword on his back and the other was holding a hard bow. He stood tall and straight with a decent appearance, but his eyes emitted waves of cold light as if they could freeze the air in front of him.
The archer coldly looked at the battle between Ye Wandering and Ethel and said, "We found one zombie and one vampire. Not a single one of them is missing."
The swordsman looked at Ethel and said expressionlessly, "This vampire who calls himself 'Blood Hunting' has ruined our plan more than once. We can't let her go this time. As for that zombie, it should be Ye Piao. Without the Taiji compass, we really wouldn't be able to recognize it."
The archer said, "Wrong, if he doesn't release his own corpse aura, even if we have the compass, it would be useless. This zombie is not a simple one, kill it before it reaches the climax, otherwise, it will become a huge threat to the cultivation world in the future." As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand. With a flash of his palm, a white arrow appeared in the archer's hand. He nocked the arrow and aimed the tip of the arrow at Ye Piao.
