Hao Ren rarely saw Vivian so energetic.
The good-tempered old vampire was always busy in the big house like a good wife and mother. Her favorite thing to do was to cook, her favorite way of life was to daydream and sleep, and her favorite topic of conversation was gossip and boring programs on TV. She was so used to the life of an ordinary person that Hao Ren almost forgot her true identity: an ancient vampire who had been active on Earth since Yuanmou Man walked upright, a powerful otherworldling that the werewolves called the Countess of the Crimson Moon.
In the face of frequent provocation by the demon hunters, the Countess' first choice was to fight.
Now, Hao Ren and his team did not have much information on hand. Based on the rune paper Lily found in the nearby streets, they could not determine how many demon hunters had come to this street. They could only be sure that they were the real deal. So, Hao Ren had prepared for the worst: make a scene, and then bring everyone to Kuiper Station or somewhere else to hide. Now, the only thing that reassured Hao Ren was that he had a backup plan, and it was almost unsolvable for the demon hunters. He did not believe that the extremists had the ability to chase him into outer space. If that was the case, he would let the garrison in the space station teach them a lesson.
Lily was sent out to search for the rune cards that the demon hunters had placed nearby, but it was obviously not something that she could do alone. So, Lily went out for more than an hour and came back. Eating was the most important thing in the world. The husky's combat power would be reduced to zero when it was mealtime. This was a natural phenomenon, and you could not fight it.
On the other hand, a dozen bats released by Vivian began to search for traces of the demon hunters in the Southern Suburbs in a huge and expanding spiral trajectory. They would report back if they found any traces of supernatural phenomena. But Vivian herself acted as if nothing had happened and went to the kitchen to cook as usual. Lunch was another sumptuous meal.
"You sure can keep your composure." During lunch, Hao Ren could not help but comment. Vivian, who was sitting opposite him, had already transformed into her Blood Clan form. However, there was not much tension in her magical, blood-red eyes. In her vampire form, Vivian was still serving food to the others as usual. She did not look as murderous as before.
"Why can't I stay calm?" Vivian picked up some food with her chopsticks and smiled nonchalantly. "Since we don't have any clues now, why not eat and drink and conserve our energy? I've seen many big fights, and those who have the last laugh won't lose their appetite before the duel."
In another sense, this was a very imposing speech. Hao Ren felt a lot more at ease when he heard it.
Like Vivian, Lily was also in her shapeshifting form. Her pointy ears twitched slightly in the air as she kept an eye on the movements on the street outside. It was as if she was afraid that the demon hunters would attack them in the next second. She bit her chopsticks and muttered, "Why aren't Wuyue and the big guy back yet … Did something happen to them?"
"The big guy will be fine. Not many people on this planet are his match unless the demon hunters use some strange ancient power to banish him to another dimension." Vivian was not worried. "You don't have to worry about Wuyue either. Sirens don't die."
"Sirens don't die?" Hao Ren remembered hearing something similar before, but he did not pay much attention at that time. Now that he heard it again, he could not help but ask curiously, "What do you mean?"
"Sirens are the only creatures that the demon hunters can't do anything about. Even the demon hunters don't see sirens as' otherworldlings' that need to be eradicated," Vivian explained about Wuyue's unknown racial characteristics. "Although the demon hunters never openly admit it, there are a minority of them who call sirens the 'Will of the Water' or the 'Guardian of the Deep'. They see them as a race between otherworldlings and holy spirits. Sirens are peaceful and non-invasive. They are powerful and strange, but they never start a fight. Most importantly, they can change their form of existence at will when there is water. They can even make themselves part of the water. Even if they die, they can only be reborn through evaporation and rain. So even the demon hunters don't want to provoke this unkillable race. "
Hao Ren had never heard of such a thing. "Are sirens that powerful?"
"Yes, very powerful, so powerful that I wonder if they are creatures that should exist in this world." Vivian tilted her head. "And their way of life is too strange. Ninety-nine percent of the sirens hide in the deep sea, where no one has ever set foot. Some powerful guys, such as Poseidon and Orfion, tried to find the kingdom of the sirens, but they all failed. When they came back, they swore that they saw the sirens swimming into the deep sea with their own eyes, but when they followed them, they found themselves at the bottom of the barren ocean. Over time, the hidden race of sirens became an 'absolute neutral' party that all the otherworldlings and demon hunters on Earth agreed not to provoke. Truth be told, if it weren't for the Ebbens' reputation and the fact that I saw Nangong Wuyue with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that a group of sirens came ashore more than a hundred years ago … I still don't know what they want to do on land. "
Hao Ren was a little surprised that the sirens had such an extraordinary background. To be honest, he could not see any of these powerful traits in Nangong Wuyue. The maiden was only amazing when she crawled with her tail and sprinted in the deep sea. She was usually very secretive.
However, from Vivian's description, Hao Ren also heard another message. The 'power' of the sirens was mostly reflected in their resurrection or reincarnation ability and the 'mystery' of the entire race. In terms of combat strength, the sirens did not seem to be of much help against the demon hunters. They were probably a race that was good at self-defense but not good at gank …
Hao Ren could not pin his hopes on Nangong Wuyue going on a killing spree against the demon hunters. Y 'zaks was obviously more reliable than the siren maiden.
Among everyone present, Lil Pea was probably the only one who had no idea what was going on. The little one's entire world was limited to this weird big house. She did not know the dangers outside. She just curiously lay on the table and watched the adults eat and discuss things. Occasionally, she would make some strange sounds to attract attention. She was probably wondering why the adults always licked the food but refused to eat it. That's right, the food in her eyes was the chopsticks. As for the things picked up by the chopsticks … she had no idea what they were for.
After a while, the little one ate another half of a chopstick. She patted her slightly bulging belly and lay on her back in the pot, dozing off. Vivian looked at the little mermaid in the pot with a smile and sighed. "I really envy such a simple life. Nothing to worry about, nothing to think about … I don't even know what my childhood was like."
Vivian's memory was a mess. She did not know anything about her childhood. She would occasionally sigh like this. Hao Ren sometimes wondered if this vampire did not have a 'childhood' at all. But he dared not say it out loud.
At this moment, a sudden noise came from outside the door, mixed with a mess of dog barking.
Lil Pea, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the noise. She jumped out of the pot and onto the table. Lily happily wagged her tail and stood up. "Oh oh, my subordinate is here to report!"
Lily's subordinate?
Hao Ren suddenly thought of something and rushed to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he was shocked.
On the street outside, there were hundreds of dogs of all shapes and sizes. Some were standing, some were squatting, and some were sitting together. It was like the Spring Festival!
Hao Ren suspected that all the dogs in the Southern Suburbs were gathered here.
"What … what's going on?" Vivian heard the noise and rushed over. Like Hao Ren, she was stunned on the spot. Lily shouted from behind, "Didn't you ask me to find a way to get the rune cards from the nearby streets? I can't do it alone, so I called my men to help! "
Hao Ren then noticed that every dog had at least one piece of paper with Letta runes in its mouth. Some had four or five pieces. With so many dogs in front of him, it meant that at least hundreds of carefully arranged rune cards had been found.
Hao Ren felt that if he was a demon hunter, he would have the heart to kill himself. Who else but Lily could come up with such a strange tactic?
