Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 246 Blood Shadow Night Raid

After a satisfying picnic, the fatigue accumulated from a day's journey quickly overwhelmed us; walking 500 li in a day was already a distance exceeding any previous walking distance.

This is a great test of physical fitness, but of course there are benefits. If you persevere, it can have a very good training effect on your body and will.

Night fell.

Wisps of white mist condensed slowly in the air, covering the tranquil lawn with a mysterious veil.

Mist rose up, enveloping the starry sky and making the darkness on the ground even more intense. Even in the sweltering heat of summer, a chill permeated the air.

Dongfang Lie sat on the grass and dozed off, a hint of drowsiness in his eyes. He glanced around and found the surroundings very quiet, without noticing anything unusual.

Wisps of white mist rose, and the distant forest was utterly still, dark as an abyss, as if it were about to swallow everything.

A sense of fear inexplicably rose in my heart. The more I looked around, the more I felt as if something was about to rush out.

Everything was so quiet...

The fog gradually thickened, and while he was on guard, he didn't notice that the more fog he inhaled, the more drowsy he became, and his eyelids fell like a curtain of night, obscuring his vision.

The fog suddenly thickened, and what was once a faint outline of the sky was now almost pitch black.

As the mist swirled, a swaying figure silently arrived at the large lawn, heading straight for the campsite.

The thick fog seemed to have no effect; in fact, it appeared to come alive, cheering and jumping around the figure.

"This is truly excellent food!"

His bloodshot eyes fell on the sleeping Dongfang Lie, no—on the carotid artery in his neck that was gushing blood.

Glug~ Glug~

Originally intending to steal some food, the temptation and the hunger in his body quickly overwhelmed his reason.

A pair of sharp teeth quickly protruded and landed on the skin, easily piercing the almost invisible membrane.

After being engulfed by the surging blood, it acted like a stimulant, making the already scarlet eyes emit an even more eerie red light.

The intense pleasure completely overwhelmed his remaining rationality, and the cave of greed, once it appeared, could never be filled.

Two sharp fangs transformed into a water pump, rapidly drawing blood from Dongfang Lie's body. He was unconscious and had no idea what was happening; his face simply grew paler and paler.

When people drink to their heart's content, they often lose themselves in the excitement, and their bodies emit a nauseating odor.

"Who?" +2

At the same time, shouts rang out from both tents, and figures rushed out quickly. Ai Jiangtu and Wang Teng immediately locked their gazes on Dongfang Lie. Their mental energy spread out and they discovered a monster lying behind Dongfang Lie, drunkenly sucking his blood.

"Telekinesis!"

"Ghostly torture!"

A large silver hand suddenly formed and grabbed the vampire monster. Ai Jiangtu immediately used Ghost Punishment to capture its soul.

"what……"

In the blink of an eye, the monster exploded, turning into countless small bats that scattered in all directions.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

"This is... a vampire?"

……

A group of people rushed out of the tent immediately. They were full of energy after being awakened. They got goosebumps when they saw the small bats flying all over the sky.

"Damn it!"

"Radiance!" Zhao Manyan immediately activated light magic, illuminating the surrounding area. The intense light pierced through the mist and shone on the swarm of bats flying in the air.

Like hot oil sizzling over a fire, the swarm of bats hissed and emitted black smoke as they fled the area as if their lives depended on it.

"Blazing Flames ~ Heavenly Flame Funeral!"

Upon seeing this scene, Mo Fan immediately understood that this was the vampire he had encountered before; these kinds of demons were particularly good at running away.

Without hesitation, taking advantage of the fact that the swarm of bats had not yet scattered, he quickly connected to the constellation and sent a ball of red light into the sky.

A rain of golden-red fire descended swiftly, instantly scattering the bat swarm. The effect was even more powerful than Zhao Manyan's radiance.

"Is this guy alright?"

Nan Jue came to Dongfang Lie's side and saw Nan Rongni examining his body.

"He lost too much blood... Fortunately, the vampire didn't leave any blood seed in his body. He should be able to recover after some rest."

"We need Zhao Manyan to come and help clean the wound of the monster slime that's still there."

Nan Rongni stretched out her hands and carefully examined the wound, quickly discovering the condition of Dongfang Lie's body.

"I'll do it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Manyan glanced at the battlefield and, seeing that he didn't need to intervene for the time being, immediately walked over and used his purification technique to cleanse the remaining residue from his wounds.

Under their gazes, the wound, purified by the radiant light, emitted a blood-red and black mist that corroded the area around the tooth hole.

However, the lingering aura quickly disappeared, followed by Nan Rongni's cleaning and healing. The minor injury was no problem for her at all.

After being hit by the Heavenly Flame Funeral, the swarm of bats quickly scattered in all directions and disappeared into the dark forest.

The thick fog was blown away by the night wind, spreading out in all directions and gradually fading away.

It is clear that this fog is one of the vampire's sorcery techniques.

"What a nuisance~" Wang Teng frowned. He didn't expect to encounter a vampire here. In a crowded place, he couldn't go all out and was a bit helpless against it.

"I've already damaged its soul; it shouldn't attack again."

"However, this thing's ability to escape is really troublesome, even more outrageous than the Shadow type. There are bats flying all over the sky, and I don't know which one is the real thing."

Ai Jiangtu's face didn't look too good either. This type of demon is unique to the Americas and is rare in other regions. It is also very secretive and is usually hard to encounter.

Many conventional spells are even difficult to use against vampires.

"We should still be careful. Vampires are very vengeful. We failed this time and even injured it, so there's a high chance we'll encounter it again later."

"Especially our next stop, which crosses almost 4,000 kilometers of North America, it would take at least ten days to half a month to walk there."

"The border defenses in North America are either very poor or very good, especially in the wild, where they are extremely dangerous."

"Unlike in China, foreign countries do not build many small towns. They tend to concentrate people in big cities and basically abandon small towns and villages."

"This can greatly reduce their security pressure, but it's not very friendly to the lower-level staff."

Nan Jue walked over, turned her gaze to Ai Jiangtu, and told him about vampires and the unique characteristics of North America, warning him to be vigilant.

"I remember that vampires seem to be monsters that like to gather in groups, and they are much more intelligent than other monsters," Jiang Yu said somewhat uncertainly.

"Then aren't we in great danger?" Mu Tingying's expression changed upon hearing Jiang Yu's words.

"What are you afraid of? Always so afraid of this and that... This vampire was easily driven away, wasn't it? Can you guys please stop disrupting morale every time there's the slightest danger?"

Jiang Shaoxu yawned, not even bothering to look at those people; it was always these guys who came out to sing the gloomy tune.
