As soon as Vivian's voice trailed off, everyone was on high alert. The MDT quickly marked the spatial fluctuations it had sensed in Hao Ren's field of vision. Hao Ren took out his silver spear and pistol from his dimensional pocket and aimed at the open space a hundred meters in front of them.
Above the empty space, a mass of air suddenly distorted, and then quickly turned into a bright oval mirror, from which four people strode out.
The leader was a grizzled man with an eye patch over one eye. Next to him stood a dark-skinned, bald man who looked slightly Indian. Behind them were two women. One of them was wearing a plain dress, with long brown hair and a faint layer of green scales on her cheeks that was slowly fading away. The other one had a very conspicuous silver-white hair and a cold temperament. It was White Flame!
Except for the woman in the dress, the other three were dressed in demon hunter attire: long black trench coats, magical buckles hanging from their waists, and big crossbows on their backs. This was obviously a three-person team of demon hunters.
The three demon hunters were shocked to see that there were already people on the beach. The one-eyed man and the bald man immediately raised their crossbows and prepared to attack, but when they saw the disparity in numbers, they did not act blindly. Instead, they froze. After recognizing Hao Ren and his team, White Flame opened her mouth slightly. Her cold face could not help but twitch a couple of times. But she quickly calmed down. While she and her mentor were on alert, she signaled Hao Ren with her eyes not to greet them rashly. Although she had reported to her mentor about the vengeful spirit hunt after returning from Andrea Castle, she did not report in detail about the encounter with the Countess of the Crimson Moon. It was better not to act like they were close friends.
This also proved that White Flame had kept her promise and did not reveal too much to the demon hunter organization after she left.
Hao Ren also realized what was going on when he saw White Flame's expression. Vivian immediately threw a bat at Lily's face to shut her up.
The most nervous person on the scene was none other than Nangong Sanba. The guy who pretended to be a veteran in the exorcism circle was caught red-handed by the real demon hunters. He was sweating profusely. He knew that his career as a demon hunter was over. From now on, he would need to write his will in duplicate.
Rollie was studying the sea on the rocky beach. When she saw the scene in front of her and the reaction of her owners, she immediately felt a murderous aura. She lay down on the ground, her tail stood up like an iron rod, and the fur on her ears and tail stood up. She let out a shrill cry, "Meow —"
The first roar from Hao Ren's team came from a cat.
"This is an unexpected surprise," the one-eyed man said with a face full of vigilance. Even though the situation seemed to be unfavorable, his voice was still as loud as a bell, without the slightest hint of fear. "I didn't expect to meet a group of prey here."
"Are you sure you're the hunter?" Vivian was surrounded by a large swarm of bats. Lightning flashed in the bats, and gusts of cold wind spread in all directions. Even the distant waves that hit the reef directly turned into a large snowflake. "What are the demon hunters doing here?"
Rollie was shivering in the cold, but she still bowed her back. "Meow — Meow — Woo —"
A layer of light rose like a shield around the one-eyed man, and the biting cold wind had no effect on him. But when he saw Vivian's appearance, he quickly froze for a moment. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "Is that the Countess … Her Excellency?"
Lily was stunned. "Why are the demon hunters so polite all of a sudden?"
Vivian frowned as she tried to recall who the most famous one-eyed man among the demon hunters was. She curled the corner of her mouth and said, "Of course, young people won't be polite to me. Only the older guys will be polite to me — because they still remember the seniority. Right, Hasse? What are you doing here, kid? "
Hao Ren was surprised. "This is the one-eyed Hasse?"
The one-eyed Hasse, a famous elder among the demon hunters, an old monster who survived from the Mythological Era, and one of the leaders who destroyed Mount Olympus. Hao Ren's biggest impression of him was that he almost killed Hesperides. The arrow had been stuck in the brain of Miss Brain for thousands of years.
A guy who sounded like a big name — but he was still the 'kid' that Vivian mentioned. Vivian also knew that her seniority was a powerful weapon at this moment, so she directly used her seniority to intimidate him.
The girl did not care about her age at this time.
The expression on Hasse's face quickly became strange. It was not embarrassment, but worry. He did not expect to be so unlucky today. He had teleported here to save trouble, but he had fallen into an encirclement. Not only that, there was also the world-famous Countess of the Crimson Moon! Even the most senior ancestor of the Demon Hunters would have to bow respectfully and address him as a senior before the fight started. How unlucky could he be?
Vivian was right. The older the demon hunters, the more they valued seniority, especially the old guys from the Mythological Era. This was a trait that the impetuous young demon hunters could not understand.
The bald man next to Hasse took half a step forward, the crossbow in his hand flashing with silver light. "I salute you, ancient Countess, master demon hunter Teuton. I am willing to accept your challenge."
Vivian crossed her arms in front of her chest and said in a cold voice, "Are all the master demon hunters these days such ignorant young people? Are you qualified to 'accept' my challenge? As a junior, you dare to 'accept' my challenge? "
Teuton was stunned for a moment. Hasse immediately raised his hand to stop him. "Don't move."
Vivian nodded slightly and said, "Well, at least you know the rules."
Lily had never seen Vivian in such an imposing manner. She immediately pulled the corner of Hao Ren's clothes and whispered, "Why is Battie so pretentious all of a sudden?"
Vivian maintained her posture and whispered to Hasse through the squeaking sound of the bats, "Do it while you can. If you succeed, we may not have to fight later. I can't beat them in my current state!"
Hao Ren was speechless. It turned out that Vivian was trying to overwhelm them with her imposing manner. With her current state, she would be exposed if she fought any powerful demon hunter.
Of course, even if she was exposed, the three demon hunters in front of her were no match for Hao Ren. But Vivian thought that it was best not to fight them head-on. If it was not necessary, she did not want to have a head-on confrontation with a demon hunter of Hasse's level. Because the Countess of the Crimson Moon and the elder demon hunters could easily be interpreted as a declaration of war, and it would be troublesome.
When one's reputation reached a certain level, it was difficult for a person to represent himself.
He slightly lowered his crossbow to show that he was not in a mood to fight. He frowned and asked, "May I know why you are here?"
"Is that a siren beside you?" Vivian looked at the only girl among the four who was not dressed like a demon hunter. She had just shown some siren characteristics.
Hasse nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
Lily blurted out, "Are you going to Nasaton too?"
"Are you going too?" White Flame asked in surprise. At the same time, she also lowered her crossbow. "What are you going to do?"
"Investigate," Hao Ren replied cautiously as he turned off the light beam at the tip of the silver spear. "We suspect that Nasaton has been contaminated by some alien creatures. What about you? In theory, the demon hunters will not attack the sirens. So are you going to investigate or help? "
"If what you said is true, then we have the same purpose," Hasse said in a deep voice. "But I'm not …"
"You should know that I'm different from ordinary otherworldlings. I'm not a warmonger," Vivian suddenly raised her voice and interrupted Hasse. "The one with me is certainly not a warmonger. So maybe we don't have to fight today. I have a suggestion. How about both sides put down their weapons? "
Teuton was a little surprised. He slightly tilted his head and looked at Hasse. The latter nodded after a moment of silence. "That's acceptable. But there's a premise: if you do anything unusual while approaching Nasaton, the hunt will begin. "
"The same goes for you," Vivian smiled. "And I believe you won't be the hunter."
