432 For Justice! (2/2)

”There might not be a creature like that in our country, but it's real in the West. They have come here to feed, and I happened to stumble onto one while he was enjoying his prey. I'm not a righteous man, but I tried my best to save the girl, so I thought that would be the end of it, until I learned from an ancient Western manual that the fangs of these vampires are the perfect material...”

”So you're saying that the only clue is the girl that died?” Mo Fan asked furiously.

Huo Tuo nodded and spoke, ”Mm, the quest wouldn't have such a huge bounty if it were any easier. I'll give you the girl's name, and you're on your own. When you give me the fangs, I'll give you the armor. Otherwise, you will pay me sixty million RMB, not a cent less.”

”I've got one more question.”

”Mm, go ahead.”

”You're already an expert at sucking money, why did you have to take the subway instead of taking a cab?” said Mo Fan.

Huo Tuo fondled his beard and said, ”You have no idea; it's called being conservative.”

Mo Fan and Huo Tuo had a long discussion. Meanwhile, Li Junnan muttered, ”I...I also have a question.”

Neither Mo Fan nor Huo Tuo gave him any attention. Li Junnan seemed utterly troubled.

He still could not understand; what good were snake scales without any snake mark?

------

Mo Fan counted the days; there were only seven days left until the second challenge week. If he was planning to wear the armor during that week, he had seven days to find the vampire, and smack his fangs out.

He definitely needed Lingling's help for things like this. The quest's rank was fairly high, since the fees for asking the old man to craft the armor alone were already twenty million RMB. Leaving the old man's intention of increasing the price to three times the normal value aside, quests with a bounty of ten million and above were normally for Advanced Magicians, and most of them even needed a party of Advanced Magicians.

However, Huo Tuo could surely read Mo Fan's cultivation. The fact that he was willing to let Mo Fan handle it implied that the vampire's strength was not too crazy. The biggest problem now was knowing where to find a vampire. In such a populated area, unlike the Mother Scale Skin Phantom which would turn into a monster, Huo Tuo had mentioned that the vampires looked exactly like humans. It was impossible to identify them unless he stumbled onto one while they were feeding.

The Mother Scale Skin Phantom enjoyed drinking human blood, too, but it was difficult to tell how the two were related.

Either way, he should try and complete the quest as soon as possible. With the armor, his strength would improve rapidly, which would then allow him to challenge those with much higher ranks and secure more resources... no, that wasn't right, how could a man like him allow the vampires to harm the innocent girls in the city?

It was all for the sake of justice!

”Lingling, I've got us a job, a big one!” said Mo Fan.

”Where are you? I'll be there right away!” Lingling's tone was calm like always, which definitely did not belong to a girl her age. However, the fact that she arrived fairly quickly was a good indication that the little girl was extremely bored!

After Lingling arrived, Mo Fan brought the little loli along and headed to the household of the deceased girl whose death Huo Tuo had witnessed, to see if they could find any useful clues there.
