Bloodbath in Deadwood City
"You mean deliberately becoming a prisoner of the Vampire Starfolk?" Li Wei frowned as he looked at the 'An Hei' opposite him, weighing the feasibility of this method in his mind.
Indeed, infiltrating the Vampire Starfolk's ranks using this method, without knowing Nina's whereabouts, is a good idea. Besides, Nina was kidnapped by them, so perhaps they'll end up being imprisoned together after becoming prisoners, at the very least they can gather some information.
However, this plan was rejected by Li Wei almost instantly.
"Leaving aside the situation after being captured, what if we encounter Vampire Starfolk? What if they just blast us to death? We probably wouldn't even have a chance to speak. Besides, this is a level 4 star system. There's no reason why Vampire Starfolk wouldn't be able to detect that I've concealed my presence. What do you think the chances are that they'll be abducted?"
'An Hei' thought for a moment and remained silent, clearly indicating that his plan was questionable.
"However, this is indeed a way to make contact with the Vampire Starfolk. We are willing to be prisoners, but we need to do it in a different way!" Li Wei stroked his chin, a glint of light in his eyes, clearly having come up with an idea.
Eternal Night Star, Deadwood City.
This is a Deadwood Town. It has existed since the Blood Clan Star Domain was upgraded to Level 3 a hundred years ago. However, after a hundred years, it is still a Level 0 town, which means that the administrators here are not competent.
The Blood Bar is the only place in Deadwood Town that still has some life. Every time the moon rises to its highest point in the sky, all the important figures in town gather here to savor the pleasure brought by blood.
Of course, to drink blood, you need 'blood animals'.
Inside the Blood Bar, Bass, the lord of the Deadwood City, sat in a soft chair, enjoying the service of beautiful vampire women on both sides. In front of him was an elderly vampire whose skin was as white as tree bark.
"Old Wood, I heard there are some fresh blood beasts today, so don't hold back!" Bass grinned, revealing a sharp tooth covered in yellow spots, one of the characteristics of vampires.
Old Wood across from him quickly bowed and said, "Of course! Our shop will have to rely on your protection, City Lord. In a little while, the fattest 'blood beast' will definitely be reserved for you!"
Bass nodded, but then noticed that Old Wood's eyes flickered, as if he had something to say, so he asked, "What is it? Is there something else?"
"N-nothing... it's nothing, Lord City Lord, I'll go and make the preparations right away!" After hesitating for a long time, Old Wood swallowed back the words he was about to say.
In the cellar of the Blood Bar, Li Wei withdrew his true energy, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
"Luckily, that old guy didn't say anything he shouldn't have, otherwise, his brain would have exploded into mush!"
A few hours ago, Li Wei found a group of Vampire Starfolk. They were hunters who specialized in collecting 'blood beasts' in lower-level star systems. It was their unlucky day, because Li Wei had discovered them.
These Vampire Starfolk were only around C-Rank in combat strength, so Li Wei easily took control of the hunting team. From them, he learned that these people were hunters hired by the Blood Bar. So Li Wei used the same method to coerce the Old Wood into staging this play, all in order to infiltrate the Deadwood City and lure out the city lord.
He believed that the obese city lord would provide him with some useful information.
As for why Old Wood was so obedient, it was because Li Wei, right in front of him, beckoned with his finger and blew the head off a Vampire Starfolk.
Seeing such a bizarre attack method, how could Old Wood disobey? He was afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would be blown to the head.
As the silver moon reached its highest point in the sky, the vampires in the Blood Bar began to howl, demanding that the owner bring out today's main course.
The so-called main course is the thoroughly cleaned 'blood beast'. Vampires love this fresh blood the most. When it is just sucked out of the 'blood beast', it will have a slight warmth and fishy smell. When you swallow it, the sticky feeling is the best.
It's safe to say that this feeling is unparalleled.
But today, these vampires are likely to be disappointed.
Their disaster began when the trembling Old Wood pushed out a large iron cage covered with a black cloth.
The black cloth was lifted, revealing only one person inside.
A man exuding an aura of death; that night, ninety percent of the vampires in the Deadwood City perished.
Looking at the man covered in blood before him, City Lord Bass swallowed hard. His mind was still reeling from the horrific massacre. Why were his dozen or so B-rank guards so easily killed by this man?
The blood spurting from the guards was enough to terrify even Bass, a vampire. Therefore, he completely gave up resisting. With his B2-level combat strength, he would surely die against this man who was like the Grim Reaper.
"I have a question for you!" Li Wei's expression remained unchanged after killing hundreds of vampires. In his eyes, the people of this alien star system were no different from livestock.
Bass nodded tremblingly. Li Wei knew that the other party was terrified, so he stopped talking and directly asked him if there was any information about capturing people from the level 2 star system 'Earth Star'.
Sure enough, after thinking for a moment, the fat vampire immediately revealed a very important piece of information.
"My younger brother lives in the Vampire Royal City. A couple of days ago, he asked someone to tell me that someone discovered a girl with ancient vampire blood in a level 2 star field and captured her. She might be the girl you're talking about!"
Li Wei's breath hitched. A girl with the bloodline of the vampire clan? It must be Nina.
"Who captured that girl, and where is the Vampire Royal City located?" Li Wei grabbed Bass and asked in a harsh voice.
"I don't know. All I know is that the girl was later given to a prince, and the royal city is to the west..." As he spoke, Bass sneered inwardly.
Want to go to the royal city? There are countless high-level vampires there, and even S-class powerhouses. If this alien dares to venture there, he will surely die.
However, he wouldn't say any of this.
Li Wei glanced at the fat man's eyes and could easily guess what he was thinking. Now that he had asked all the questions he needed to know, there was no need for the fat man to stay.
With a flick of his wrist, the fat man's head exploded like a watermelon hit by a bullet.
This is a move from the 'Blood Control Method': Blood Explosion Technique.
Anyone whose combat power is lower than Li Wei can be instantly killed using this.
Li Wei then proceeded to slaughter all the vampires in the Deadwood City, leaving no survivors. The silver moon still hung in the sky, but Deadwood City was now deathly silent.
Li Wei, who was flying through the sky using a flying card, no longer had the murderous aura on his face. However, having witnessed the 'An Hei' of Li Wei's methods of massacring the city, the people who looked at Li Wei now had a lot of emotions in their eyes.
"What? Surprised?"
Suddenly, Li Wei spoke up, and the 'An Hei' figure behind him visibly trembled, but replied, "No, this is the right thing to do. If we don't kill them all, the Vampire Starfolk who kidnapped your friend will become wary, making the rescue even more difficult!"
Li Wei smiled, seemingly unconcerned, and said, "Yes, a year ago, someone did the same thing as the vampires today. Fortunately, he was all talk and no action; otherwise, I would have already massacred the city... Anyone who dares to touch those around me, I don't care who they are, I will use force to completely eradicate them..."
Silence. The 'An Hei' flying behind them showed only astonishment on its face, but remained silent.
Li Wei, however, completely changed his previous murderous aura and said with a smile, "An Hei, you should have known who I am all along, just as I have known your identity all along!"
After a few seconds of stunned silence, An Hei said with a hint of helplessness, "Well, ever since you bought me, I've felt like I've seen you somewhere before. It wasn't until I arrived in Three Heroes City and learned that the city lord was Zheng Yutong that I confirmed your identity!"
"As expected of An Hei! I'm very curious, since you had an incurable disease a year ago, how did you manage to survive until now?" Li Wei voiced his question.
Hearing this, An Hei shook his head with a wry smile, "I really don't know where you got this information. According to my orders, all the data about me should have been destroyed. But since you asked, I'll tell you. A year ago, a strange man suddenly found me and gave me a miraculous pill. It's miraculous because my family's hereditary disease was Miracle cured. Are you satisfied with this answer, Li Wei?"
"Wack?"
Li Wei turned to look at the An Hei behind him. The other party didn't seem to be speaking. Besides, he had no reason to lie at this point. The former state apparatus no longer existed, and the An Hei had no obligation to anyone.
"What kind of eccentric person?"
"I don't know. He looked to be only middle-aged, but his eyes were like those of an old man. As for his clothes, they were very strange, like... a Daoist priest!"
"What?" Li Wei suddenly stopped.
The An Hei was also taken aback, not understanding what had happened with his words that had elicited such a strong reaction from Li Wei.
An Hei, of course, didn't know, because it was someone Li Wei immediately thought of.
Daoist!
The description of the An Hei instantly reminded Li Wei of this person.
Li Wei knew quite a bit about the Daoist, but now that he thought about it, the old man's origins were truly quite mysterious.
What does the Daoist do in the real world? When did he enter Shadow Street? Also, were those divination techniques and the almost divine 'Demon Refining Pot' really obtained from the mission world?
Of all these, the one that Li Wei cared about the most was the Demon Refining Pot. At least in all the time Li Wei had ever seen an item of that level, even the imitation given to him by the Daoist possessed considerable supernatural powers.
Most importantly, since the Daoist knew about An Hei, why didn't he tell me?
Filled with doubts that he couldn't find answers to one by one, Li Wei swallowed hard, realizing that many things had completely exceeded his expectations.
