Chapter 243: Running in Both Directions
Two days later.
The dim forest was overgrown with weeds.
Various poisonous insects, snakes and rats were hiding in every corner, waiting for an opportunity to move, and various wild beasts and even fierce beasts became active during this period of time, and began to wander and hunt constantly.
Although the trees here are not as tall as other places in the Dawn Forest, they are hundreds of meters high at any time.
But compared with the trees on Earth, they are undoubtedly much taller, and trees tens of meters high are as common as weeds.
There are small clusters of grass and thorny plants everywhere on the ground, which are dark green, and there are small gray flying insects flying in them, in groups, densely packed.
Walking inside, Lu He could easily distinguish the life breath of thousands of different creatures.
From this, it can be seen that the ecosystem here is extremely prosperous.
But he thought that this place was probably not very friendly to ordinary people.
If an ordinary person came to such a place, it would be normal to die in minutes. After all, a random poisonous insect would make him kneel.
So Lu He only brought his personal guard Yerrit, the shadow assassin Comanche, and the meat shield Yili on this trip.
There was also a beautiful guide named Yue Ling, mainly to prevent him from getting lost accidentally in the Dawn Forest.
Although he did not completely let go of his breath, there were always blind beasts running over to seek death.
Just like this moment.
A pair of green eyes were hiding in a cluster of thorns a few steps ahead, staring at them greedily.
Seeing the prey walk into its attack range, it did not hesitate for too long. Under the urging of wildness and hunger, its body showed extremely high flexibility. It jumped over a distance of more than ten meters and rushed straight towards Lu He.
Lu He's eyes condensed, and an invisible force spread out. The beast shadow still in the air was instantly frozen, and it was directly hung in the air like an image.
A first-level beast, similar in appearance to the cheetah on Earth, but its body was extremely black.
Lu He walked over.
He stretched out his finger and gently stabbed its neck. After a few seconds, the blood in its body was drained without a drop left.
After sucking the blood, he flicked his finger casually, and the beast's body, which was as thin as a bone, was directly bounced away by him. After landing, it turned into black ash and returned to the earth.
This series of operations made Camilla behind her feel cold and terrified.
He was even better at sucking than her.
If she was asked to suck this first-level beast, it would take at least an hour to suck it dry without considering the risk of dying of bloating.
"Do you want to suck blood too?" Lu He asked.
"Yes, I'm hungry." Camilla licked her dry lips, "What did you do to me? I just sucked blood a few days ago, I shouldn't be hungry so soon."
She felt a little strange in her body, especially the blood core and somewhere in her lower body, she felt very uncomfortable.
Lu He smiled, "I didn't do anything, I just worried that I would shoot you badly, so I gave you a set of health checks."
Camilla didn't react much to this, but Yue Ling snorted coldly, secretly cursing shameless in her heart.
Lu He showed a gentle smile on his face.
The blood sucking just now was one of the results he had studied from the vampire loli in the past two days. Compared with the previous life bite, the efficiency and utilization rate have been greatly improved.
Camilla felt cold in her heart.
She had been living intermittently these days, and her memory was sometimes there and sometimes not. She didn't know what she had done or said, and she was often confused.
It was like a dream, and she felt that she was about to collapse.
When she woke up, she found that she had arrived here, in an environment she was very familiar with, and the area where her family was located.
"I won't show you the way." Camilla said expressionlessly.
She vaguely guessed the purpose of this Sky Knight.
Although she believed in her father's strength, she had to admit that this Sky Knight was powerful, so she didn't want to easily reveal the family's hinterland.
"It doesn't matter, I don't need your consent."
Lu He shook the gem on his glove. If he didn't want to, he didn't want to. He never needed other people's consent to do things. Sometimes asking in advance was just a habitual courtesy.
Camilla glanced at the man in front of her. His scarlet pupils made him look mysterious and dangerous.
If there was a chance...
She had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
There was a thousand-year-old monster nearby that even her father feared. Maybe there was a chance, as long as she could trick him away.
"What old monster?" Lu He asked curiously.
"How... do you know!" Camilla stared at Lu He in shock, looking extremely panicked.
Lu He chuckled and did not explain.
He did not plant the mark of distortion on Camilla for the time being, but did it through a kind of mind spell.
He was going to the vampire's nest soon, and he had to face a vampire grand duke. He didn't want to increase his soul burden.
But he was not too worried.
He learned from Karami that her father Felix had just woken up not long ago.
There were only three core members of the family, and the other one was her sister, who was a little weaker than her. There was no special arrangement in the nest. Although Felix was a very powerful old vampire, Lu He didn't think it was a big problem.
He also learned that this old vampire seemed to be looking for him and had been to the manor in Xiangmu City.
Lu He easily guessed that it was because he had used the bronze giant's blood before that he had attracted the attention of the old vampire.
Vampires are very sensitive to high-level blood, and this old vampire must be paying attention to him.
Of course, Lu He was also planning to do the same.
After more than two hours of traveling through the forest, a huge red forest stretching for several kilometers appeared in front of them.
Standing on a high place and looking down, a dilapidated gray-white church was vaguely emerging from the depths of the forest.
Although the exterior looks dilapidated, the main structure is well preserved and there is nothing missing. The dilapidation may be caused by being in a cold and humid environment for a long time.
The main building of the church is a dark red square, and the gray oval dome is like an eyeball.
Surrounding it are some cylindrical bell towers several tens of meters high, standing tall, with a curtain roof made of thin bricks in the middle, blocking the light above, making the already dim environment even more gloomy.
The ground of the church is a narrow and long winding stream, which has dried up, leaving black and red residue.
Lu He slowly walked out of the woods.
His right hand casually drew a semicircle in the air, and he sang a few words in a low voice. A layer of light gray energy film suddenly appeared on the surface around him, flashing slightly and disappearing.
The eyes glowed red, the red flame mark flickered between the eyebrows, and the silver-white color on the exposed skin deepened.
The breath was hidden, the energy and physical defense were completed, and the powerful fire element spell mark was also ready.
"You wait here, if there are vampires running out, try to stop them."
After giving the order, He walked towards the church with a swagger.
Following behind was the meat shield Yili, while Yerrit and Comanche and others stayed where they were to prevent accidents.
As for the little vampire loli, he had already sealed her.
...
In the stone room.
Four vampire girls wearing purple body-shaping long skirts and with exposed fangs were carefully cleaning the dust on the ground.
Felix looked at the four vampires he had transformed not long ago, frowning, not very satisfied.
The surrounding walls had been cleaned, revealing the silver-white metal walls, which were inlaid with several rubies.
It seemed to be just decoration.
But the faint red light inside showed that it was not decoration, but had some special effect.
Felix half-lay on a white recliner, letting his daughter massage his bones carefully.
"Haven't you found it yet?" He looked away and asked with a smile.
Angel took off his father's outer coat, leaving him in a white shirt.
"No, but it should be soon. Sister Camilla has contacted several families and other races." Seeing that his father did not reject it, Angel's eyes flashed with desire, and his right hand continued to move down along the shriveled chest muscles.
"If the human you are talking about is really in the Dawn Forest, then he will definitely not escape Sister Camilla's palm."
"Why didn't that kid Girard come to see me? Did he succeed in getting promoted?" Felix held down the little hand that was moving around on his chest and asked about another thing he was more concerned about.
Angel was a little unhappy. She blinked and told the news she had heard in the past two days with little interest.
"I heard from the Felagi family that Girard left the Dawn Forest soon after you fell asleep. No one knew where he went until he came back more than a hundred years later."
"But when Girard came back, he was already a dead apostle. He didn't stay for too long and took his family with him. No one saw him again."
Felix's face suddenly darkened.
No wonder Girard didn't come to see him immediately after the news of his awakening spread a few days ago, and he didn't sense Girard's promotion to a dead apostle when he was asleep.
It turned out that he quietly ran outside to be promoted, and after the promotion, he disappeared silently with his family.
Felix knew very well why Girard did this, just to avoid his control.
"Father, this Sky Knight is a human..." Angel opened his mouth and only said half of the words.
Felix's eyes flashed.
He knew what Angel wanted to say. If he sucked this Sky Knight dry, he might face human wanted.
You have to know that the Sword of War, one of the three most unfriendly knight organizations to aliens, has not been completely disbanded.
This sword hangs over the heads of all the alien races in Xizhou, and it may be chopped down at any time.
If it weren't for the Knight Organization Sword of Order to stop them, perhaps these alien races in the eyes of humans would not have been driven to places like the Dawn Forest, and perhaps they would have been exterminated long ago.
But...
Felix remembered the strange smell of blood that fascinated him deeply. If he could get it, he would have a great chance to go one step further and become the new blood prince.
And in this extraordinary and hidden era, the blood prince is an invincible existence!
Thinking of this, Felix became excited. He suddenly opened his blood-red eyes and said slowly:
"Angel, mark the most likely places for this human sky knight to appear. I want to find it myself!"
"We are running in both directions!"
"It seems that it is fate that guides us to meet."
Felix's face stagnated slightly.
Before he could react, several red tentacles appeared around him, rushing towards his body like chains.
At the moment the red tentacles appeared, he seemed to hear some mysterious murmurs and whispers in his ears.
An evil, twisted, and destructive desire surged from his heart, making him dazed.
Angel looked in the direction of the sound.
A figure was turning from virtual to real. The figure was wearing a black knight's uniform, with his slender right hand resting on a silver rapier at his waist. Two golden flames were jumping in his pupils, and a faint gray halo was emanating from his body.
The face was somewhat familiar.
She blinked, as if she suspected that she had seen it wrong, and stared again, her expression suddenly became extremely wonderful.
"Father! It's that human knight!" Angel pointed at Lu He and shouted sharply.
Felix no longer needed her reminder.
Countless red tentacles had quickly drilled in through the gaps in his clothes, wrapping his body tightly.
Zizi...
The red tentacles burned violently, and the flames were tightly attached to his skin, burning with a sizzling sound, and gray smoke and a smell of barbecue instantly filled the air.
"Ah!!!" The severe pain made Felix burst into a painful wail, and he also woke up.
The whites of his eyes disappeared, turning into a strange red color. His long hair began to grow rapidly, turning into a blood-colored airflow, sliding along his neck and washing away the flames on his skin.
The moment the red airflow came into contact with the flames, a trace of corrosive black smoke rose up.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and spit out a ball of blood energy, which suddenly spurted out of his mouth and rushed towards the fist that was already close to his chest.
Puff.
Felix's whole body suddenly became like water, automatically detached from the tentacles, and retreated rapidly.
"Zoro! How dare you come to me by yourself! And you shamelessly sneak attack me!"
Felix and Lu He in the air looked at each other, staring at Lu He, with a piercing coldness in his eyes.
The waves of pain coming from his body made him so angry that he had never felt so strong as at this moment.
Lu He curled his lips.
His figure disappeared in an instant, and at the same time, a fist with golden flames hit Felix again.
Felix couldn't see the fist at all, and only a moment of light flashed to see the outline of his fist.
He took a deep breath, his chest bulged high, and a blood vortex with a diameter of more than ten meters gathered behind him. A black and red bat shadow slowly emerged from the vortex, and the huge bat shadow made it look like a demon.
Roar!!!
Felix raised his head suddenly, and the bat shadow behind him roared to the sky at the same time, making a sharp cry.
The semi-arc black ripples took him as the origin and spread wildly towards Lu He in front. The ripples were like the sharpest blade, splitting the space between the two into pieces.
Facing this terrifying attack, Lu He looked indifferent.
His figure suddenly accelerated, as if it exploded, and it hit the ripples head-on like a cannonball.
Boom!!
Jin Yan's fist hit the black ripples.
After only a moment of stalemate, the fist broke through the ripples and hit Felix hard.
Without even a groan, Felix was smashed against the wall. With him as the center, the surrounding walls formed spider-web-like cracks, and then exploded instantly.
Countless dust and gravel were blown up, dust was everywhere, and the vision was faintly gray and blurred.
Felix knelt on one knee in the ruins.
All his clothes were torn and burned, and soon turned into black ash and disappeared.
His body was shaking and twisting violently, as if it was being torn and squeezed by some extremely huge force.
Suddenly he took a step back.
With a swish, a silver sword energy brushed past his toes and directly cut a black line on the ground.
"Stupid struggle." Lu He smiled.
The blood core in the chest of this vampire was suddenly attacked by him, and he was surprised that he could still hold on for two rounds.
"Ahhhhh!!!" Felix's extremely angry roar came from the dust.
Faintly, in the huge pit where he was.
A stream of bloody breath slowly emanated, spreading around like a living thing.
In the breath, the red mist actually formed bats, swimming around and making a slight squeaking sound.
Suddenly.
A beam of blood suddenly shot out from the mist, and it could be seen faintly that the blood was formed by countless bats.
"Interesting..." Lu He narrowed his eyes slightly, and put on a black glove directly on his lowered right hand.
A punch was thrown.
Boom!!!
The blood light exploded, and the entire hall was instantly submerged in a sea of blood.
Felix's eyes condensed. This was a blow he barely made after suppressing the abnormal movement of the blood core. Although it was barely, it was not something that an ordinary Sky Knight could resist.
So he didn't think that Sauron, the new Sky Knight, could withstand this blow.
Felix did not deny that he was in a mess now, but he felt that the main reason was the sudden sneak attack.
Suddenly, his pupils shrank.
Zoro appeared in front of him at some point, punching him straight, an ordinary punch, without a trace of energy fluctuation, showing extremely terrifying power control accuracy.
Bang!
The two fists collided, and a muffled sound exploded.
Lu He's left fist was blocked, and his right fist was bent, silently hitting Felix's left face.
Felix's face remained unchanged, and he opened his mouth to aim at Lu He, with a red light flashing in his mouth. When he was about to fight back, he suddenly found that the oncoming fist was blurred.
The fist seemed to disappear, and Zoro disappeared too. Opposite him was his daughter Angel calling him...
Everything in front of him seemed like he was dreaming, nothing happened, and he was still lying on the chair.
Puff!
Just as he was stunned, an arm suddenly penetrated his chest.
Completely ignoring the red mist on his surface, as if it were a thin piece of paper, the sharp nails directly pierced Felix's abdominal cavity and grasped the blood core in his abdominal cavity.
"You..." Felix's face was horrified.
Lu He smiled at him slightly, and countless black silk threads suddenly emerged in his hands, quickly wrapping the blood core, wrapping it tightly like a zongzi, leaving no gap.
Felix didn't dare to move. It felt very uncomfortable to have his life force held in someone's hand, and he couldn't use any strength.
Lu He's eyes slowly lit up with a fluorescent red luster, staring at the eyes of the vampire duke.
A low spell sounded softly in the hall.
Felix's eyes rolled up immediately, and his body lay down involuntarily. Before lying down, his mouth opened.
From the shape of his mouth, it can be seen that it was a curse.
Until now, he still believed that it was not that he was not as strong as Sauron, but that he was attacked by surprise, which caused him to use most of his strength to protect his blood core from being invaded.
Looking at the Grand Duke of the Blood Clan on the ground, Lu He sneered.
He dared to attack him with this little strength. He must have a problem with his brain. He must have been crushed by the coffin board.
But he felt that he was stronger than the old wolf.
At least he fought back a few times. The old wolf was beaten from beginning to end and didn't even have a chance to transform.
Smoke and dust filled the air. Lu He waved his hand gently and scanned the collapsed hall.
In the corner were four vampires who had stopped moving. They were killed by the aftermath of their fight.
There was also a female blood clan member who disappeared. She should have seen that the situation was not right and ran away quietly.
Lu He didn't chase her. He couldn't run away.
He pointed his hand, and with a hissing sound, a green vine emerged from the ground and tied Felix.
Then he punched the top of his head.
Boom!
A fist was sent out, and the hard rock was smashed like tofu, breaking into the finest sand and dust. In an instant, a passage more than one meter wide appeared, reaching the ground.
Lu He lifted Felix, turned into a black light, jumped out of the passage, and disappeared into the hall.
