Chapter 267: Master of Darkness
But it doesn't matter, anyway, as long as you kill the last civilian, the player will naturally leave when the game is over, and then you don't have to pay attention to these messes. Xia Yu thought, didn't linger any longer, turned around and left the mine, ready to go to the prodigal son.
As soon as he walked out of the hole, as the sun shone on his body, the feeling of being suppressed immediately resurfaced, which made Xia Yu very unhappy, it seems that the blood clan hates the sun for a reason.
Walking all the way back to the hut, it was already afternoon, and by the time he returned, the prodigal son had returned.
Sure enough, as he had guessed, the prodigal son had gone to get food, and he had caught two fish out of nowhere and had come back, and they were roasting them on the fire.
"Hey, where have you been?"
"Go find a place to study the abilities of the blood clan, what about you, the fish you caught from there?"
"There's a stream in the depths of the valley, may you like some?"
"The Bloodlines can't eat."
"Oh, I almost forgot, so you're welcome." The prodigal son said and ate to himself.
Xia Yu looked a little envious, speaking of which, although this blood clan is powerful, but there are many restrictions, not only is the strength of the sun sharply reduced, but also can't eat, it's really boring to live, if you win this one, if you draw the card yourself, if you draw the blood clan bloodline card, do you want to load it then?
To say that the bloodline ability is still quite strong, and you can't eat, because you don't have to worry about the relationship of food-making, but I always feel that the vampire bloodline is not very high-end, if you draw the bloodline of the god clan again in the future, I don't know if it can be compatible.
Xia Yu didn't think about it out of thin air, because the cards that players draw are very likely to be related to the experience in the game, and the probability of him drawing a vampire bloodline card is quite high.
Just as he was struggling with what kind of bloodline to load, suddenly Xia Yu seemed to hear something.
"Don't say it, the fish in this lake tastes quite delicious, but unfortunately there is no seasoning, compared to me...... Ahem, I used to eat far worse. β
"Shh Xia Yu raised his hand and stopped the prodigal son's words, "I seem to have heard something." β
Xia Yu was calm, although the blood energy was not very active in the sun, but it had a little effect, his hearing was increased, yes, it was the sound of footsteps, and there were quite a few people, and the sound of dogs barking could be faintly heard.
"Oh no, it's a hunter sent by the Inquisitor!"
The prodigal son's face also changed slightly, and he hurriedly threw down the grilled fish, "We can't let them find these corpses, if we let them destroy these corpses, we will be completely useless." β
Xia Yu nodded, "I understand, we have to lure them away, so let's go our separate ways, lead some away alone, and turn here tomorrow." β
The prodigal son spread his hands, "I don't have this ability, the necromancer is a human being, and it is also a legal system, I am essentially a human child, how can you let me lead?" β
Xia Yu was helpless in his heart, "Okay, then I'll go and lure them away." After thinking about it, he picked up the prodigal son and sandwiched it under his ribs, "Offended." After saying that, ignoring the prodigal son's protests, he ran wildly towards the forest, and saw a big tree in front of him, the canopy was very dense, and it was a good place to hide. β
After saying that, he jumped down again, and ran for a while in the direction from which the sound came, and only ran out a hundred meters, and saw a group of men and horses appear in the forest, two hunters led by dogs in front, followed by seven or eight soldiers in black uniforms.
The soldiers were clearly specially trained and well-armed, with swords, bows and crossbows, and even flintlock muskets.
What the hell is Xia Yuxin talking about? These people came out of there, can this game still be a monster?
Looking at the costumes, these people were obviously sent by the Holy See, Xia Yu sighed in his heart, this game seems to be getting more and more difficult, and I don't know if it is the game mechanics or the variables made by the players in the civilian camp.
However, now is not the time to think about this, the key is to lure these people away, and the hounds on the opposite side also spotted him at this time, making a barking dog.
The hunter who led the team waved his hand, and the group of mercenaries immediately chased after Xia Yu.
Hmph, a group of mortals dare to be presumptuous in front of my big blood clan, there is no judge, I'm afraid of you chickens.
A swishing crossbow arrow flew head-on, Xia Yu stretched out his hand suddenly, and grabbed the crossbow arrow with a snap, a burning sensation immediately came from the palm of his hand, and as soon as he let go of the crossbow arrow, the arrow body turned out to be silver, obviously similar to the inquisitor's weapon, Xia Yu's face changed, the little soldiers are so well equipped, this is a bit fucking outrageous.
He didn't dare to wave any more, he turned around and ran, there was no way, if he didn't change his body, he would still be very weak in the face of such a group of well-equipped enemies.
Bullets and crossbow arrows flew over his head and beside him from time to time, and Xia Yu ran wildly with all his might, at a fast speed, and with the help of the cover of trees, he successfully avoided all the shots.
After chasing for a while, those pursuers obviously felt that it was not a matter to go on like this, and the hunter who took the lead directly released the hounds.
Hoop, a rush of footsteps and dog barking came quickly behind him.
As soon as Xia Yu turned around, he saw that a hunting dog had pounced on him, this dog didn't know what breed it was, it was bigger than a wolf, its fangs were hideous, and it was like a fierce one, rushing to him and jumping in the air was a flutter, Xia Yu was very familiar with this trick, he fell back suddenly, grabbed the dog's neck, twisted it hard, and broke his neck directly with a click.
Xia Yu didn't dare to stop, turned around and continued to run.
Another dog also caught up, and Xia Yu did the same and killed him alone.
Without the dog, Xia Yu is not worried, these people can't even eat his exhaust gas.
However, Xia Yu was not in a hurry to get rid of them, mainly because he was afraid that after they were lost, he would simply go back and continue the search and find out the body.
Xia Yu hung them like this, and from time to time he pretended to be injured and couldn't run, and gasped twice, in order to give these people some confidence, Xia Yu even used a knife to open his wrist, put some blood and sprinkled it on the ground, making it look like he was injured.
The hunter who took the lead crouched down, touched the blood on the ground with his hand, and licked it, "He's injured." β
Those people also seem to be determined to take him down, and the vampires in broad daylight have no way to fight with all their strength, and they are in hot pursuit.
Xia Yu patiently dragged them and walked to the depths of the valley, the surrounding forests became denser and denser, and it became more and more difficult to walk, but it was not difficult for Xia Yu at all, whenever the other party wanted to give up, he would show his head and seduce.
I don't know how long it took to stop again, but this time, no matter how Xia Yu tried to seduce him, the other party was unmoved, and a few people muttered a few words, and turned around and began to retreat.
What's the situation? Xia Yu glanced at the sky and immediately understood, at this moment, the sky was almost dark.
Hmph, do you want to run, how can it be so easy, once the night falls, this forest becomes my domain.
They had pursued too far and too deep, far from the village, and it was getting dark in the valley very quickly, and although the group began to speed back, the darkness still enveloped the forest one step ahead.
Xia Yu felt the darkness coming, the sunlight disappeared, and the blood energy in his body immediately became active, he transformed into a batwing demon, flickering his wings and flying over the treetops, hovering in the night sky, and sliding down silently.
These mercenaries are obviously very experienced, and when they heard the sound of wings flashing, they immediately stopped, and slowly retreated back to back in the direction of the village, and several emergency torches were lit, but for Xia Yu now, this mere firelight is no longer a problem.
With a wave of his hand, the blood energy in his body instantly turned into dozens of vampire bats and flew away from his body, hovering in the night sky with strange and noisy calls.
The mercenaries looked up at the sky with a look of horror in their eyes.
"I knew it was a bad idea." A hunter said.
"Shut up, you eggless coward." The leader of the group yelled, "I'm here, everyoneβ"
Yes! A short scream interrupted his lines, and as soon as everyone turned around, the hunter who was exploring the path ahead was instantly silent.
"What's the situation?"
"Be careful!"
There was another scream behind him, and one of the broken mercenaries was dragged into the darkness by something, and the torch in his hand was extinguished.
A black shadow flashed in the darkness, like a ghost, a soldier couldn't bear the tension in his heart, and shot out, leaving him lonely.
Bang bang bang! Whoosh!
"Don't fire! Cease fire! Cease fire! The captain shouted, but it was too late, and in the blink of an eye, bullets and crossbow arrows were fired.
There was a deathly silence all around, and everyone looked at the dark forest in horror,
Suddenly swarms of bats fell down in the sky.
The mercenaries are brandishing their swords, these vampire bats are not too lethal, but they are not here to kill, but for the last torch, they go one after another, the soldier holding the torch was directly pounced on the face, and in a panic, the torch fell to the ground at once, poof, the last torch was also extinguished, and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness.
It's not good, these mercenaries immediately reacted, the bullets were loaded, and the flints were dug up, but it was too late.
In the darkness, a dark shadow rushed into the crowd, screaming one after another.
After a few moments, it was quiet.
Poof, Xia Yu pulled the claws out of the chest of the last mercenary, and looked at the heart stirred in his hand, and a twisted sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.
He suddenly noticed a strange thing, the soldier's neck, hung a black gem amulet, the blood flowing from his wound, as soon as he met the black gem, immediately submerged into it, as if attracted by an invisible force, constantly poured into the black gem, with the injection of blood, the black gem revealed a scarlet color, flashing and flashing, but soon dimmed, but the hunter's corpse had become a dry corpse.
Xia Yu's face was a little solemn, he probably understood what the black cat had done.
