Chapter 107 (1/2)
The situation worsened. A team of demon hunters who suddenly appeared before them stunned Vivian instantly.
Casar Ebben looked astoundingly at the “human beings” around them who were condescending and expressionless. The muscles on his body started to bulge slowly again. He could sense a disturbing vibe coming from the strange crossbows in the demon hunters’ hands. It was the unique scent left behind by countless creatures that died by the crossbow. As a veteran werewolf, Casar Ebben could feel the strong murderous vibe from it.
There was no doubt that a group of experienced demon hunters were standing in front of them.
Casar Ebben was previously informed that there were traces of demon hunters in the city and he had speculated that there would be at least one or two demon hunters on patrol. However, he never expected so many demon hunters to be gathered there. In addition, they were several times stronger than expected. This was not the kind of ambush that could have been executed by inexperienced demon hunters.
Their intelligence was wrong. Something may have happened to the family sentry. However, it was useless to say anything before he managed to escape the crisis.
Ewen Ebben also started transforming immediately. However, his transformation speed was noticeably slower than Casar Ebben’s. Furthermore, even after they had transformed, they were not as powerful as they were before.
Perhaps the battle with Vivian was one of the reasons for the poor state of the two werewolves; however, the main reason was the faint, odd scent in the air. The scent had left the two werewolves feeling physically weak and incapable of concentration. Ewen Ebben looked at the middle-aged man on the roof and struggled to growl, “You guys… are still so despicable!”
“We’re just hunting.” There was no expression on the face of the middle-aged man. “Hunters set traps. This has nothing to do with moral. But, I have a few questions before taking action. So many of you gathering in one place, what are you trying to do? You should not be here.”
The middle-aged man’s voice sounded flat, neither angry nor hostile. He was simply curious about the situation and asked accordingly. This was the first time that Hao Ren had ever seen a real demon hunter. He was completely different from the half-baked Nangong he met in England. This demon hunter was more in line with Vivian’s description and apparently… more dangerous as well.
When the middle-aged man was done talking, the rest of the demon hunters also raised their crossbows and aimed at the ‘freaks’, which included Hao Ren. It appeared that they were not expecting their ‘prey’ to tell them the reason why they were gathered there. While werewolves and vampires could still engage in crappy conversation after a fight, the demon hunters and ‘freaks’ would become downright mortal enemies. There was almost no chance of compromise between the two parties. Once they meet, they would fight until they die.
“I feel weak.” Casar Ebben turned his head and asked quickly before the demon hunters took action, “How are you guys?”
“I’m okay. It has limited effects on me.” Vivian also looked as if she was facing a formidable enemy. She tilted her head and looked at Lily as she spoke, “And Doggie looks fine. Probably her blood is special…”
Usually, Casar Ebben would have asked what she meant by ‘special blood’ but now, he did not have time to do so. The moment Vivian finished talking, the leader of the demon hunters gently raised his crossbow and said, “Shoot.”
Seven or eight small arrows glittering with silver sparkles flew towards them speedily like electric rays. Compared to the massive battle between Vivian and the Ebbens, the arrows were visibly less conspicuous. However, even Vivian could not underestimate the destructive power of the arrows. She stretched her hand out to push Lily away and scattered into a whirlwind of swirling bats to dodge the attack. Casar and Ewan also leapt in two directions respectively and dodged the arrows quickly. Hao Ren’s reaction was the slowest among them. Although his mind could barely react in time, his body could not keep up with his mind. “Ding!” A wrinkle of water rippled on his chest. Fortunately, the Steel Membrane Shield was able to self-activate in an emergency. Otherwise, his heart would have been ripped open.
