Chapter 766 - Agreement (1/2)

Those people seemed convinced that Xiao Luo was a hunter, so they took him into their group.

After getting to know them, Xiao Luo learned they were indeed mercenaries. They were the Silver Wing Mercenary Group, and they made their living by hunting exotic beasts in the Dark Forest. They transported the captured beasts to the Mu City to sell. The large muscular man named Silver Dragon was their leader. He led the mercenary group.

“Bro, watch out next time. Do not go too deep in the Dark Forest. As a Martial Master, you could die here. It would be better to hunt at the periphery in the future,” said Silver Dragon, patting Xiao Luo on the shoulder.

They were leaving the Dark Forest. The other members kept a close watch on the surroundings. They moved with arrows set on their crossbows, all prepared for use. They were always alert and were ready to fight. Silver Dragon, who was chatting with Xiao Luo, seemed to be the only idle person in the group.

Xiao Luo nodded to show he understood Silver Dragon.

“You are a hunter. We are mercenaries. We are doing the same thing. You are lucky that you met us, and we are taking you out of the forest. But if you were unlucky, you might have run into some ferocious exotic beast. That would not be good. It would even be unluckier for you if you ran into the Sucking Blood Clan. Tsk, tsk…”

Silver Dragon did not finish his last sentence. But Xiao Luo could see from his facial expression that the Sucking Blood Clan seemed to be taboo. The other members of the Silver Wing Mercenary Group turned slightly pale at the mention of the clan.

“Excuse me, what is the Sucking Blood Clan?” asked Xiao Luo.

“They are vampires.”

The man called Camel, who suddenly approached him, answered. He used lots of hand gestures to explain, “They have two sharp teeth and feed on human blood. A starving vampire can suck the blood of a human until the human becomes a dry corpse. If a vampire sucks your blood, and you do not die, then you will become the Sucking Blood Clan’s puppet. You will follow their orders like a living dead.”

Vampires?

Xiao Luo and the Duck Emperor, who had been holding his tongue, were both shocked. Both of them immediately thought of the two canine teeth that Ghost had. Was Ghost a vampire?

Ghost once said they should be careful of her brothers. The likelihood that Ghost was a member of the Sucking Blood Clan seemed extremely high. But why did she not hurt Xiao Luo?

Xiao Luo frowned. From what he had heard, the Sucking Blood Clan was a cruel and bloodthirsty bunch. However, Ghost did not suck his blood. Instead, she saved him and even told him to watch out for her brothers. He really could not fathom why she did it.

…

…

The Dark Forest was vast. It was already dusk, yet they had still not reached the periphery of the forest.

The group started a bonfire to grill meat for dinner. The members were friendly to Xiao Luo and gave him plenty of grilled meat.

The Duck Emperor had been holding his tongue to avoid trouble all the while. It was only then that he spoke in a low voice. He said, “God damned little brat. That little girl called Ghost is probably a member of the Sucking Blood Clan they mentioned. Fortunately, you shook her off. Well done. Otherwise, we would have been doomed.”

“Doomed?”
