Chapter 72 Drugged monsters and vampires (1/2)

Xue Ren was moving quickly towards the source of explosion.

However, soon, he had to stop. The area of the dam was closed. Many disciples were evacuating the citizens as far as possible from the dam. One of them had noticed Xue Ren as he shouted...

”Leave! The army of monsters have broken through the first dam!”

”Army?”

”Yes, that's why leave quickly!”

The disciple turned around. He didn't believe that Xue Ren would just follow him after he has told him about the army of monsters...

'Hasn't Duan Qiu told me that monsters from the Dark West Mountains can only come either alone or with small groups?'

This means that situation was worse than he thought... Either monsters got new leader or... someone was helping them...

Following the disciple, he was going towards the battlefield. In his mind was the story of the hero from Duan Family. Xue Ren's goal was to find Duan Qiu and protect her and her family forces if the situation would allow him... he can't risk his life for normal disciples...

The first dam!

”How can this be...”

Duan Qiu mumbled to herself with voice full of fear. The first dam that usually stood strong was now filled with blood. The smell of human's and monster blood reek throughout the area... She summoned her spirit sword and quickly went towards the group of monsters...

Slash! Duan Qiu nimbly attacked releasing her magic and spirit at the same time. The monsters who had look similar to that of bear didn't dodge her sword. They took the slashes bravely on themselves and like kamikaze, immediately rushed to pounce at her...

Swinging her sword, Duan Qiu quickly released another set of attacks. The 'bears' who where the closest to her fell immediately. Those from behind did their best to approach her as quickly as possible while others began to eat the fallen comrades...

'What?'

It confused Duan Qiu as she has never heard about this. Actually, the monsters themselves were strange. As if on drugs, they didn't think properly and could only rush furiously...

”Young Miss! Don't let them eat!”

”!”

Duan Qiu heard one of her family guardians warning, thus, she quickly moved and distrubed the feast. Angering the monsters even more, she releaseda two series of her spirit sword slashes, but!

”They aren't falling?!”

Those monsters already had felt her sword several times. Duan Qiu believed that she would kill them with this attack, but as if they regenerated, they could withstand more and even move faster...

”Young Miss, they can suck the blood and regenerate themselves like vampires!”

”Eh?”

”The highest elder already has spotted the vampires... It's confirmed that they have drugged the monsters...”

”Vampires...”

”Young Miss, please take a look.”

The guard passed down a scroll. When Duan Qiu unscrolled it, the images from before began to appear inside her mind.

'Similar to that from monument!'

The wolf had very similar appearance to the wolf from the momunemnt she had shown for Xue Ren. The monster had younger appearance, but the ferociousness was on totally another level. Was it because she could see it 'alive'?
