Chapter 1453 The Demon Hunter’s Real Goal

With a tall and strong body, a face with strong lines, and that iconic one eye, the elder demon hunter who just arrived here has an appearance that Hao Ren is very familiar with - it is none other than Hao Ren's equipment. The original owner, Hasselblad!

Of course, it was Hasselblad six hundred years ago.

The moment Hao Ren saw the old hunter appear, he almost jumped up. His first reaction was to hide the demon hunter disguise as much as possible - but the sword and crossbow could still be put away, and his clothes And the badge that must be used to mark his identity cannot be hidden, especially the clothes. He can't run away in public, right?

At this moment, he extremely regretted why he had to change into this outfit before...

But no matter how much he regretted it, he could only think about it. Hao Ren himself also knew that in order to increase the success rate of sneaking in, he had to wear the whole outfit on himself, even if he knew in advance that there was an elder demon hunter. He'd do the same thing around here.

But who the hell knew that this elder demon hunter was Hasselblad!

At this time, Hasselblad also saw Hao Ren, the only unfamiliar demon hunter at the scene. Hao Ren's oriental face was not a problem, because the demon hunters themselves are a race that does not have a blood tendency in appearance. They can follow The appearance of the people around him is transformed into the local standard appearance within a period of time (of course, they can also stop this process on their own initiative), and this process does not require any external force such as deformation and disguise. Hao Ren has an oriental face. It can only mean that he may have been active in Asia for a long time. What Hasselblad is really interested in is the clothes on this safari...

Why does it look so familiar?

"Are you the safari?" Although Hasselblad was a little confused, he still didn't show it on his face out of politeness.

"Salute to you, elder," Hao Ren also suppressed the tumult in his heart and tried to greet the elder in the way a safari should normally do when meeting him. Although the lone wolf hunter lives in isolation and is not easy to get along with, he is still a member of the large group of demon hunters. They still have to show enough respect after meeting the high-level demon hunters, "I think your hunting group and I There were some conflicts between them.”

After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, for fear that he would make Hasselblad from six hundred years ago suspicious by saying more nonsense. At the same time, he also winked at Lockheed next to him, signaling him to speak clearly. .

Lockheed really cooperated. This stubborn demon hunter probably really felt that his reckless action tonight had ruined something big, so he simply told what happened and tried to take all the responsibility on himself. What's even more commendable is that Hao Ren himself didn't know how to arrange the perfect details, but Lockheed himself filled in the details through brain supplements. Listening to what the other party said, Hao Ren's appearance was comparable to Raven 12345. I can’t bear my shamelessness, and I feel that it’s a bit too unkind to fool such a sincere and honest person...

After listening to Lockheed's story, Hasselblad understood the whole story. His one eye stayed on Lockheed for a moment, and his tone was serious: "Inadvertent mistakes are also mistakes. I will record your mistake."

Then he looked at Hao Ren: "Wanderer, I apologize to you for the damage caused by this reckless action, but I think now is not the time to get into the details. Making up for the losses is the top priority. Those witches have escaped from our encirclement. , I just learned that there is not only a werewolf among them, but also a suspected vampire's aura. Although it is not clear how the werewolf and the vampire forcefully coexisted, such a combination is obviously quite tricky, and we need to cooperate to complete this hunt. "

Hao Ren had been waiting for the other party to say this for a long time, so he nodded directly without saying anything: "I agree with your judgment."

"The moon has risen now," Hasselblad looked up at the night sky. After the fog completely dissipated, a nearly full moon was hanging high above his head. "Under the moonlight, werewolves and vampires will become more difficult to deal with. We are here tonight." I'm afraid they won't be able to catch up with them, but they can't run too far overnight - and according to your intelligence, their target is the sleeping place of the ancient vampires, so unless they give up this goal, they won't run very far. "

"They may go to that sleeping place next," Hao Ren nodded, "But I don't know the specific location of that sleeping place."

Unexpectedly, Hasselblad smiled slightly when he heard this: "Don't worry, I have roughly investigated the location of the sleeping place. If it is correct, it is in the ruins of an old castle, and in this area... abandoned There are not many ancient castles.”

Hao Ren was horrified: These demon hunters have actually investigated to this point? !

He suppressed the shock in his heart and just showed some appropriate surprise: "Oh? You have already investigated this? Then the next action will be much easier."

Hassel nodded and sighed softly: "To be honest, I didn't expect that a group of aliens were also interested in that ancient vampire, and they also had a way to open the seal... If I had known about your existence earlier, I would have been with you. If we cooperate, we can save ourselves a lot of trouble.”

Hao Ren felt that it was quite subtle. He had a feeling that he had filled in the entire chain of clues by making nonsense, and then even he was about to believe the nonsense...

The witches have escaped, and tonight's hunting is destined to end in vain. Under Hassel's order, the demon hunters rest on the spot and settle down in this cemetery abandoned by the witches and the magical power gradually dissipates, waiting for the attack at dawn. A gloomy cemetery is by no means a good place for ordinary people to set up camp, but for demon hunters who deal with dark forces all year round, any flat piece of ground can be used as an excellent campsite. Those rugged dead trees and The broken and collapsed tombstones were just decorations in the camp.

The size of a hunting group was not large. After a rough observation, Hao Ren judged that the number of demon hunters in this group was only about fifty or sixty - compared to the Crusaders of the Mythical Age, this could only be regarded as a small team.

However, for the witches led by Lady Mary, this was a disaster.

A bonfire was lit in the cemetery, and the power of the Leta rune was poured into several still intact sculptures, turning them into stone statue guards who watched the night, wandering around the cemetery together with the night-watch hunters.

Hao Ren and several demon hunters sat at a long table in the center of the cemetery, discussing the hunt. There were also food and drinks on the long table that the witches had no time to remove, but every demon hunter just nibbled on the dry food they brought with them, showing no interest in these sumptuous banquets: in their eyes, these foods were full of blackness. The smell of magic simply stinks.

Hao Ren's evaluation of this was hypocritical - but he had to be hypocritical at this time. Anyway, he was really not interested in the things on the table.

A demon hunter saw the pile of plates that had been used to hold meat that had been swept away on the table, and sneered: "These witches have quite a big appetite."

Hao Ren: "..."

Lily ate it all by herself...

Suppressing the embarrassment in his heart, Hao Ren looked at Hasselblad sitting next to him: "If possible, can you tell me who the ancient vampire you are tracking is?"

A trace of solemnity flashed in Hassel's single eye: "You should have heard of a name, the oldest vampire, Vivian Ancesta."

really!

Hao Ren suppressed the impulse in his heart and looked a little surprised: "The poorest one?"

"Yes, the poorest one."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Even Hasselblad subconsciously picked up on this weird remark...

"Ahem, the countess who summoned the red moon, I'm afraid not many demon hunters don't know her reputation," Hao Ren quickly broke the deadlock with a dry cough, "Are you planning to hunt her this time? Demon hunters are not always right. Is she keeping a distance?"

Hasselblad adjusted his sitting posture, with a more serious expression on his face than usual. His one eye was fixed on Hao Ren, and it was not until the latter thought that the old hunter had seen any clues that he looked away: "We are not here to hunt. Kill her."

This time Hao Ren's surprise was genuine: "It's not for hunting? Then what are you doing here?"

"You should know that she is an ancient person who often falls into deep sleep," Hasu said, looking at Hao Ren. "At the same time, she is also an ancient person who occasionally falls into extreme violence and is unpredictable. She is already sleeping in this place. For two centuries, this was a long sleep even for her - which was unusual."

"unusual?"

"Corpus has been paying attention to this maverick countess. After she disappeared from the world for two centuries, we realized something was wrong and launched an investigation. Not long ago, we confirmed that she did not die. , but had a long slumber in one place. During the follow-up investigation, we discovered this area and detected very powerful negative power fluctuations nearby..."

Hao Ren suddenly felt a sense of alarm: "Negative power?"

"An old hunter like you should have heard of this negative force," Hasselblad glanced at Hao Ren, "The countess occasionally goes crazy. When she goes crazy, this negative force will dominate the entire area... …”

"That is to say..."

"I'm afraid there's something wrong with the Countess' dormancy. She's going crazy in her sleep, and now... she's about to wake up. According to my inference, there's an 80-90% chance that she'll wake up violently."

While Hasselblad was talking about his investigation and speculation, Hao Ren had already thought of another answer that was probably closer to the truth:

Vivian's evil body is taking shape! The violent Vivian in Hasselblad's mouth is not the real Vivian, but an evil mind!

Hao Ren is quite sure about this, because he has the manuscript to prove: Vivian will only fall into a rage before falling asleep, and she must be awake after waking up (it is not possible to be woken up in advance and angry when waking up) (calculate), so there is only one possibility for the negative force that emerges at this moment: a new evil thought body.

No wonder the demon hunters would take the initiative to trouble Vivian. No wonder Hasselblad, an old hunter who had been taught a lesson by Vivian several times, would take such a big risk and lead the hunting group here - they are here to stop Vivian. Wei An’s evil thoughts!

"Do you think you can beat her?" Hao Ren frowned. Demon hunters probably don't know the existence of evil thoughts, but even if they don't know evil thoughts, they should know how terrifying Vivian herself is. "Even if the mythical Era, the Crusaders directly organized by Corpus have never won against Vivian."

"Of course we can't win. Once the red moon comes, the gap between the Countess and ordinary creatures cannot be measured by strength. So far, no one has any way to resist the power of the moonlight," Hasselblad admitted frankly. After realizing this, he changed the subject and said, "We don't expect to defeat her. Our plan is to delay time - first lead her to a place far away from people, and then hold on to her moonlight for as long as possible." Yes, because the countess' madness will not last long, especially when she first wakes up. This madness only lasts for a moment. As long as she can survive this moment, the mission is completed."
