Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

The red-clad vampire warrior pondered for a moment.

He couldn't quite figure out where this demon-descended girl came from.

However, it's best to avoid provoking demons if possible.

The red-clad vampire warrior said, "Since you're not here for the Azure Dragon Treasure, that's fine. We have no conflict of interest anymore. We have other things to do, so you should leave now!"

Jiang Xue crossed her arms, narrowed her eyes, and said coldly, "Leave? Are you ordering me around?"

"..."

The red-clad vampire warrior's lips twitched: "Are you here to cause trouble? What exactly do you want?"

Jiang Xue said expressionlessly, "You were right after all."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's white hair began to flutter, and deep blue demonic energy surged from her body.

The bone-chilling cold air spread out instantly, causing the trees within a hundred meters to be covered with a layer of frost in an instant!

"I'm just annoyed by what you just said," Jiang Xue said, slowly raising her hand.

The deep blue demonic energy around her was ferocious and intense!

"what......!"

"It's so cold...!"

"I...I can't move my body..."

The vampire warriors let out cries of terror.

They looked down and saw that their bodies, like the surrounding trees, were quickly covered with a layer of frost...

The chilling, dark energy rapidly seeped into their bodies, freezing their blood...

......

"Shh-"

"Shh-"

"Shh-"

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao led more than thirty students as they leaped and jumped rapidly through the Hundred Souls Forest.

Most students seemed a little nervous.

Because they knew that the enemy they were about to face was the vampires!

This was their first time facing the forces of the dark races; it would be strange if they weren't nervous.

"Those of you behind, don't fall behind!" Jiang Xiaoming said earnestly, leaping forward while occasionally turning back to remind his classmates behind him, "Make sure your steps are light and you conceal your presence! The dark races are a bunch of cruel and bloodthirsty guys. If any of you fall into their hands and become their blood slaves, you'll suffer a fate worse than death!"

The other students quickly replied, "We...we understand..."

Tang Yanyan asked curiously, "Jiang Xiaoming, you seem to have a lot of experience?"

Jiang Xiaoming said proudly, "Of course! After all, I was in the same year as Ye Ge and the others. We fought against the vampire army when we were ten years old!"

The students all looked surprised: "Wow..."

Tang Yanyan was also surprised: "I didn't realize you were so amazing?"

Jiang Xiaoming chuckled and said, "Sure, sure..."

Xia Xiyao turned around and asked in confusion, "How come I remember that you were kidnapped by the wilderness bandits before you even encountered those vampire troops?"

Jiang Xiaoming: "......"

"crow--!"

Just then, a crow flew back.

Ye Ge suddenly stopped on a tree trunk and raised his hand to signal the students behind him to stop.

Gao Shenxue, who was standing next to her, asked, "How did it go?"

Night Song listened to what the crow said on his shoulder, paused, and said, "I sensed it, the aura of the vampires is just ahead!"

After speaking, he turned to look at Tang Yanyan and the other students behind him: "Everyone, spread out and take cover, watch your breathing, and make use of the varying heights of the trees here. You haven't forgotten the jungle tactics the academy taught you, have you? Now it's time to put them to the test in real combat."

"Yes!" Tang Yanyan, Jiang Xiaoming and the others immediately scattered with a few quick movements.

Under the cover of the dense forest, Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao stealthily made their way forward, clearing a path for the novice students.

This area is a forest of giant trees, with towering trees hundreds of meters tall everywhere. The dense canopy completely blocks out the moonlight, and there is not a single ray of light in the jungle.

Ye Ge thought to herself that these vampire warriors were indeed very good at choosing ambush locations. Vampires could use ultrasound to locate objects in the dark, while human eyesight was completely unable to see anything in such an environment. They could only rely on their mental perception to identify things in front of them. This kind of environment was extremely disadvantageous to them.

[Night Song: Snowflakes, Fireflies.]

"Night Song said in the system communication."

Gao Shenxue nodded and took out a small box.

The box was opened, and a dozen small, exquisite mechanical fireflies with golden glows emanating from their tails flew out and scouted ahead.

Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, and Xia Xiyao followed behind the fireflies, cautiously making their way forward.

"strangeness......"

Ye Ge carefully observed the surrounding environment, pondering silently.

This place is perfect for setting up an ambush.

If he were commanding the vampire forces, he would definitely choose to make his move here.

However, he didn't sense any danger in his surroundings...

At the same time, Ye Ge also vaguely felt that something was not right.

He could clearly sense the life force of those vampires just now, so how come they all suddenly disappeared?

At this moment, Gao Shenxue seemed to notice something first, her eyes flashing: "Xiaoye, look!"

"Huh?" Ye Ge turned her head and was immediately stunned.

About fifty meters ahead in the woods, Gao Qian and Zhang Kun could be seen tied to a rock with ropes.

The fireflies' faint golden light barely illuminated their faces.

It was them...

Yege immediately hid behind the trees, only peeking out half of her head to observe.

[Night Song: I don't sense any danger around us, but there should be an ambush nearby. I'll go check it out first. You two stay with me and protect the children. With my strength, these vampires can't hurt me, but they're most likely trying to lure me over there, then try to stall me, and take advantage of the inexperienced children as hostages.]

[Gao Shenxue: Okay.]

Xia Xiyao: Okay.

Ye Ge was about to step forward and probe.

However, they had only taken a few steps closer...

"Um???"

Ye Ge was taken aback.

He discovered that dozens of people were lying on the ground around the stone where Gao Qian and Zhang Kun were tied up!

To be precise, they should be called vampires!

These vampire warriors lay scattered on the open ground, some lying down, some sprawled out, motionless, as if they were dead.

"???"

Ye Ge looked completely bewildered.

What kind of trick is this?

Instead of lying in ambush, they brazenly lay down on the open ground...

Is this some new ambush tactic?
