Mario's screams were transformed by the squeezing feeling of "Apparition".
When the two of them hit the muddy ground again, he was already paralyzed with only his eyes still moving.
This guy looked like he had been stuffed into a drum washing machine and stirred for half an hour.
His hair stood on end, his face was as green as an underripe banana, his mouth was open, and he made a gasping sound of "ho-ho--" from his throat.
"Don't pretend to be dead, get up." Lin Ze patted Mario.
"I... vomit--"
Mario turned over and vomited all over the floor.
Lin Ze jumped two steps to the side in disgust. Just as he was about to say something insulting to him, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure on the river beach ten steps away behind him. He didn't know when a figure appeared.
To be precise... that doesn't seem to be a person.
The thing just stood there.
Its two legs seemed to have been randomly reattached after being broken. The knees were bent in completely opposite directions, the whole body was hunched forward, and the two arms were ridiculously long, with the fingertips almost touching the ground.
The skin all over its body looked like old leather that had been soaked in water for too long, with a layer of blue and purple in the grayish white. The wet hair stuck to its forehead in strands, covering most of its face.
But Lin Ze can see its mouth.
The mouth stretches from the base of the left ear to the base of the right ear, and the inside is densely packed with jagged fine teeth, with three layers inside and three outside, like the throat of some kind of deep-sea fish.
The most terrible thing is its eyes.
The position of the two eyes is completely asymmetrical. One is on the forehead, and the other is lower than the cheek. Both eyes rotate in different directions, and finally fixate on Lin Ze at the same time.
"Fuck."
Lin Ze felt that his blood had turned half cold.
"This... this is..."
Mario was still vomiting at first, but when he looked up and saw the thing, he even forgot about vomiting. His whole body froze in place as if he had been administered Petrificus Totalus, and his crotch became wet at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Lee...Libodu..." His voice trembled, as if it was squeezed out of his throat.
The thing tilted its head, and its neck made a "click-click" sound.
Then its twisted face twitched, and its entire mouth seemed to have been cut open in the middle with scissors.
Lin Ze already held the wand in his hand, but his palms were all sweaty.
There is no human breath about this thing. It is more like a creature from another world. Just looking at it makes people feel that all the cells in their body are trembling.
Lin Ze didn't hesitate, raised his hand and said "Reducto".
The spell hit the thing's chest accurately, exploding into a cloud of gray-white debris, as if it had hit a soaked piece of rotten wood.
The thing was thrown back by the impact, its two recurved legs dragged two deep marks on the mud, and then... it stopped.
It lowered its head and looked at the bowl-sized hole in its chest, then raised its head and looked at Lin Ze. The mouth that was cracked to the base of the ear slowly opened, as if it were smiling.
Vampire, and this thing... doesn't seem to be afraid of sunlight?
Lin Ze raised his head and looked at the sun above his head.
"Fuck."
"Incendio"
The crimson pillar of fire blasted straight through, engulfing the vampire entirely.
The flames wrapped around it and burned for four to five seconds. The surrounding air was roasted and distorted, and the wet mud on the shore was steamed by the high temperature and emitted white smoke.
But... a hand reaches out from the sea of fire.
His pale fingers passed through the wall of fire, with flames still burning on his fingertips, and he closed them gently like crushing an egg.
The flame went out instantly.
Lin Ze's pupils suddenly shrank.
The vampire walked out of the lingering flames. There was no trace of burns on his body. Even the strands of wet hair sticking to his face were still dripping with water, as if they had just been fished out of the river.
Its mouth, which reached to its ears, moved, and Lin Ze heard the sound it made clearly for the first time. It was like fingernails rubbing against iron sheets, sharp and harsh, making people's temples jump.
Lin Ze subconsciously took half a step back, and the soles of his shoes stepped into the soft river mud, making a "chirp" sound.
"Run." He turned around and ran.
There was a rolling and crawling sound of Mario coming from behind. The guy crawled into the forest on his hands and knees, throwing away his machete and losing one of his shoes.
Lin Ze has no time to care about him.
Because the vampire's target is obviously him.
It's just that the vampire's movements are very strange, as if someone has poured mercury into its joints, and its body moves forward twitchingly. Every time it moves, the joints of its limbs bend in the direction they shouldn't bend, but it happens to move at an absurdly fast speed.
Lin Ze felt his eyes dazzled as the vampire's mouth that reached to his ears was already less than two steps away from him.
So fast.
"Impedimenta"
The spell hit the river beach, and the mud beneath his feet rolled up as if it had been plowed, and the mud wrapped gravel and hit it.
It did not dodge or dodge, and let the mud and rocks hit its body. Its two long arms were close to the ground and swept towards Lin Ze's legs.
Lin Ze can barely escape by using "Apparition".
Then his figure appeared in the shallow water ten meters away, his boots were soaked in the black water, and the water was up to his ankles.
The thing's head turned 180 degrees with a click, and its two misaligned eyes locked onto him again.
Lin Ze also got angry.
"Cruciatus Curse"
The mind-focused spell was cast on it, and it just shook its body slightly without any feedback.
"Killing Curse"
A ray of green light flashed across and hit the vampire, but it seemed to be fine, just tilted its head and continued to fall towards Lin Ze.
The soul structure of this thing is completely different from that of human beings, or it may not have a soul at all. Lin Ze thought quickly in his mind.
But it didn't give him time to continue thinking.
The vampire opened its mouth and opened its lower jaw like a snake, revealing densely packed fine teeth deep in the throat and a slender gray-green tongue.
A harsh sound wave exploded from its throat.
Lin Ze felt his head buzzing, and the world in front of him began to spin and twist.
His internal organs felt like they were being grasped in someone's hands and twisted hard, and he couldn't even stand firmly.
He knelt down on one knee and almost dropped the wand in his hand.
The vampire took the opportunity to pounce.
Lin Ze's vision was blurry, and he leaned his head forward based on instinct.
He felt a strong gust of wind passing over his head, followed by a burning pain in his back. His robe was scratched open with a layer of flesh, and hot blood flowed down his spine.
Fuck, it fucking hurts.
But the severe pain made his brain wake up instantly.
His back was like a torn rag, and blood mixed with black river water was dripping down his trousers. His entire state was close to death.
The thing didn't rush to finish off the attack. It stood behind Lin Ze, tilting its head to watch him struggling in the water, opening and closing its mouth, and making intermittent neighing sounds, like it was mocking.
Lin Ze struggled to get up from the water, raised his hand and said "Fiendfyre".
The deep purple python rose into the air, opened its mouth and rolled towards it.
Fiendfyre fell on the vampire, finally making him scream in pain.
But the next second, the long gray-green tongue in its mouth flicked violently, and the entire Fiendfyre giant python was whipped Diffindo, and turned into a sky full of fire Starfall into the Black River.
Damn it, Fiendfyre can't even do anything to this guy.
The vampire seemed to be angered.
It instantly crawled to the ground, clinging to the ground like a squashed spider and scurrying toward Lin Ze, nearly twice as fast as before.
Lin Ze hurriedly "Apparition" to ten meters away, then drew the wand across the space and opened "Boundary Break".
Unexpectedly, as soon as "Boundary Break" was torn halfway, the thing was already approaching, and a hand directly grabbed Lin Ze's left shoulder.
