The southeastern region was in the subtropical zone.
The northern part of the southeastern region was considered a warm zone. Even though it was near the coastline, the temperature was not high.
It was autumn, and the sky was filled with dark clouds. Lightning flashed, but there were no explosions. It was as though an autumn rain was about to break the tranquility.
After William and his companions left the City of Dawn, it took them five days to reach the border of the East Sea Metropolis.
Behind them was the Black Lava Dukedom, and in front of them was the nation of the vampires.
At this moment, an obvious border appeared in front of them. It was not a border that could be seen with the naked eye, but an indescribable chill.
William was not the only one who sensed it. The other five frowned. It seemed that the East Sea Metropolis was not a neutral territory, but an ominous place.
"Boom!"
Thunder boomed.
Torrential rain fell from the sky like a curtain of rain.
William and his companions stepped into the territory of the East Sea Metropolis. The autumn rain would last for an indeterminate amount of time.
The six of them were dressed like rangers or demon hunters on a long journey.
William was wearing a long black robe and a hood. The raindrops hit his body and made pitter-patter sounds. He looked up at the sky and then at the town seven or eight kilometers away. He coughed and said, "Let's go and take a look. If there are no accidents, there should be many vampires here. Everyone, be careful."
The East Sea Metropolis was different from his previous life.
He had come here two years earlier. He needed to understand some things so that he could help Diablo take revenge.
The vampires were very good at camouflage. The players could not see through them with their insight. Therefore, he had to understand how many vampires there were.
In his previous life, the East Sea Metropolis had started a secret war with the Emerald Grand Duchy. The number of vampires had been greatly reduced.
"Is the rumor about vampires real?" Wales asked curiously.
"It should be." Diablo nodded. But his childhood memories were not enough to be used as evidence. It could be a hallucination, so he did not say much.
William grinned. He exhaled a mouthful of white gas in the chilly rain and said in a deep voice, "We call them vampires, and they call themselves the Blood Race.
"Usually, vampires are just like humans. It is difficult to distinguish their true identity.
If there was anything special about them, it would be that their skin was too pale and bloodless. It was almost impossible to see their blood vessels.
When they fought, some of the more powerful vampires could grow dragon-like wings. When they wanted to escape, they could even transform into small bats and escape.
However, those characteristics only proved that they were difficult to deal with.
But their most powerful technique is to control the blood in our bodies! "
Tyrannosaurus, who was also a tall and muscular man, gulped. He was over two meters tall, and among the six of them, he had the most HP. Wouldn't he be the unluckiest one then?
He could not help but step forward and ask, "Control the blood in our bodies?"
"No, it's not us. It's controlling your blood. This is the unique magic of vampires, or rather, it's the instinct of vampires. If you really meet a vampire and get your blood controlled, you must be prepared to cast a Battle Aura Shield to suppress it. If you allow him to control your blood, no matter how thick your skin is, you will still die from blood loss. "William glanced at the other five people. All of them were Bosses.
In the past, they had either been allies or opponents.
But now, the City of Dawn was a big brother in the southeastern region. These people were also William's subordinates. They were considered a family.
Now that they were going to face strange magical creatures like vampires, they had to be prepared.
William glanced at these cowardly Legendary and Epic Bosses. They were frightened by this?
It was human nature to always be afraid of unknown creatures.
The potential of their bloodlines was much stronger than most vampires.
Some of the weaker vampires, even if they had high-level combat power, might not be able to control their blood.
Oh.
Actually, he was also afraid of the unknown. But if he did not say it, no one would know that he was afraid …
"Why only control me? I'm strong and have more HP. Should I be controlled?" Tyrannosaurus looked sad.
The corners of William's mouth twitched. "You don't have to worry too much. I have many light magic scrolls. Each of you can take ten scrolls. If you really meet a vampire, you just have to crush the scrolls, and you won't be controlled for tens of seconds."
"Hehe, that's good. Prince William, you should have said so earlier." Tyrannosaurus laughed. Then, he and the others took the magic scrolls that were tens of feet long.
…
Half an hour later.
William and his companions arrived near a small town.
The guards at the city gate had already closed the gate. They were roasting a bonfire on the eight-meter tall city wall. They calmly looked at the rangers outside.
"Open the gate." Alec raised his head and shouted.
A guard carried a longbow and walked reluctantly to the edge of the city wall in the heavy rain. He frowned and asked, "This is the territory of the East Sea Metropolis. Who are you?"
"Demon hunters." William took out his Lightning Bow and shot it at a tree that was a hundred meters away!
Whoosh!
A bolt of lightning flashed across the dark space.
At that moment, even the raindrops seemed to have stopped.
Boom!
The moment the ten-meter tall tree came into contact with the arrow, the battle energy tore the tree into powder. The powder sank into the ground along with the rainwater.
So powerful!
Some of the guards in the town thought to themselves. But they were not worried that the demon hunters would cause trouble. There were many demon hunters who came to the East Sea Metropolis, but many had died …
Over the years, there had been many sightings of vampires in the East Sea Metropolis.
Indeed, many slaves and commoners had suddenly disappeared without a trace.
The city lord had sent soldiers to encircle and annihilate the legendary vampires many times. He had even personally taken action. Unfortunately, the vampires could transform into bats and escape. The encirclement and interception were not of much use.
In the end, the city lord could only find some demon hunters to deal with the vampires.
But it was a pity that no matter how famous the demon hunters were, they did not return …
Fortunately, the vampires did not attack many times. The number of commoners who died was not that exaggerated. The locals did not take it too seriously.
After all, for hundreds of years, the locals had been facing the threat of death at all times …
But many people were still alive and well, so they did not take it seriously.
Of course, every time the sun was about to set, as long as it was within the territory of the East Sea Metropolis, they would hurriedly close the city gates and doors to prevent the appearance of vampires.
The city gate guard went downstairs to open the city gate. He glanced at the six powerful people and said, "Welcome, six powerful demon hunters. You may enter the town, but please do not wander around. After all, this is the territory of Lord Bernard of the East Sea Metropolis."
"That's not a problem. I wonder if there's a hotel. My subordinates are a little tired and want to find a place to rest." William smiled. A powerful person was a pass. This logic was applicable even in the empires.
Therefore, there was no need for him to pretend to be weak. As long as he was stronger than these soldiers, they would give him sufficient respect.
"Follow this path for 300 meters. There's a hotel there. But there are too few merchant groups that come to the East Sea Metropolis. The hotel does not earn much money, and there are not many decorations. Please don't mind." The guard smiled and welcomed them into the city. Then, he watched them leave.
Subsequently.
With a creaking sound, the city gate slowly closed.
The few guards on the city wall had an inexplicable smile on their faces. They looked at William as if they were looking at a dead man.
…
The sky had darkened.
It seemed even darker.
This was a small town without any lights. Every household had their doors closed, and there was a strange aura everywhere.
The autumn rain did not stop, and the weather was getting colder. The air that they exhaled had turned white.
The roads of the town were not made of limestone. With the impact of the rain, the roads gradually became muddy.
Fortunately, even though William had great power, he was not a high and mighty noble. He was a warrior who had experienced life and death. The rule of not riding a horse in the city existed everywhere. It was not William's territory, so there was no need to be so arrogant.
Then, they led their horses and walked for a few hundred meters before they found the location of the hotel.
Although the hotel door was closed, it was not completely closed. A trace of candlelight leaked out from the crack of the door.
Alec pushed open the wooden door. Wind and rain entered the room, and the flames on the candles flickered. A fat middle-aged man was snoring on the table. He did not notice that someone had come.
"Pom, pom, pom!" Violent Dragon punched the wooden door a few times. There was a loud sound.
"Who is it?" The hotel boss woke up. He used the same posture as William to wipe his saliva. Then, he looked up at the six tall and strong men at the door.
"Phew, I thought it was a vampire. I knew it. Vampires don't like to drink the blood of fat people."
"Gosh, is this why you are so fearless?" Burned Cinder did not speak along the way, but now he was a little annoyed.
Logically speaking, vampires should be the same as humans. They should eat fat ducks!
The middle-aged boss laughed without a care. He looked at William and the others and said, "You must be staying in the hotel. But there are only four rooms now. Some of you need to squeeze."
"Hmm, give me a room. They can stay however they want," William said without any hesitation.
"Up to you. But it's better for two people to stay in one room. After all, you have heard the rumors about this place," the middle-aged boss said as he took the key.
"Oh, right, five silver coins for a room."
"That's so unscrupulous. Here you go." The corners of Violent Dragon's mouth twitched. He did not care and threw 20 silver coins at the boss. How could such a lousy place cost five silver coins? He only needed five silver coins to stay in the Black Lava King City for a night and find a woman!
The middle-aged shopkeeper diligently collected the silver coins and chewed on them one by one with his teeth. Then, he chuckled and said, "It's all set by the Liege. After all, the rumors of vampires are true, which is why many caravans are unwilling to come here. So, we should earn as much as we can."
"Are you also demon hunters?"
"Hmm, what good news do you have for us?" Burned Cinder took out a gold coin and flicked it between his fingers.
The middle-aged boss rubbed his hands. Pay first, then talk!
"Here!" Burned Cinder threw the gold coin over.
William, who was about to go upstairs with the key, stopped in his tracks. He wanted to hear what the fat man had to say.
Then.
The middle-aged boss nervously closed the door of the hotel. He looked at them as if they were dead and said, "You can stay together. Leave this place tomorrow and go to the nearest Black Lava Dukedom. "Since 18 years ago, none of the demon hunters who came here have left alive."
Bang.
The wooden door was blown open by the strong wind again.
The middle-aged boss was so scared that the fat on his body trembled. When he closed the door, he vaguely saw a small bat hanging upside down on a big tree. Its scarlet eyes were faintly discernible!
