"You're late."
Standing in the depths of the dark forest, Berean gazed at Jenn and spoke.
In response to her words, Zayen shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent.
"You're the one who's early. I came at the designated time."
Although the vampires were considered to have female supremacy, they were different from the dark elves.
Among the dark elves, female dark elves were born with a noble status. As a male, even if he met a female dark elf from a hostile family, he had to abide by the precept of not retaliating or scolding.
Unless there was a "war" between both parties, it was unacceptable for a male dark elf to kill a female dark elf regardless of the reason.
However, the vampires were related by bloodline. Because even if they were female supremacy, if they weren't members of the same family, they naturally didn't need to care. Since Berean wasn't Jenn's "mother" or his "sister", Jenn naturally didn't have to listen to her.
In fact, the fact that Zayen was willing to come here was already a show of respect for Berean.
"Forget it, let's cut the nonsense. Why are you looking for me for this hunt?"
As he spoke, Jenn scanned his surroundings.
Not far from Berean were several young men and women dressed in luxurious clothes. From the faint radiance emanating from their eyes, it was obvious that they were Berean's dependents. In other words, they were her "family".
Seeing this, Jenn narrowed his eyes curiously.
Generally speaking, family hunts were a relatively common practice among the vampires.
After all, compared to outsiders, a "family" that was related by bloodline was more trustworthy and easier to manipulate.
Vampires like "Fass" who flew out from his family usually acted alone.
They rarely moved with others. After all, moving with other families would increase the risk. Moreover, the chances of becoming cannon fodder and bait would also increase when they encountered danger.
However, Jenn still came. He wanted to see what exactly Berean was up to.
In fact, this was also "Fass's" personality. He had a lot of arrogance and stubbornness unique to Vampires.
This was also a characteristic of a long-lived species, but it was more obvious on Fass.
That was why Jenn accepted the invitation. After all, life was a drama, and it all depended on one's acting skills. Besides, he also wanted to see what these guys were up to.
"We only hope that you can be our witness."
It was obvious that Berean's expression didn't change much in the face of this "Fass" before her. It was obvious that she was well aware of this "Fass"'s bad temper.
"Witness?"
Zayen twitched his brows. Then, he shifted his gaze swiftly to the dependents surrounding Berean. His gaze paused for a moment, and stopped on a young lady standing beside Berean.
It was a young girl who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old. Unlike the other dependents who had deadpan expressions, this girl had a gentle and warm smile on her face.
This was obviously a very strange thing. One had to know that the biggest characteristic of vampires was their insincere smiles. For this young lady to smile 'from the bottom of her heart', it was as though 'seeing a ghost' in the eyes of the vampires.
In fact, among the Undead Creatures, Jenn had only seen two of them display similar expressions …
"This is the pet you want to show off?"
Staring at the young lady, Jenn let out a snort and asked.
However, he didn't need Berean's answer because Jenn sensed an incomparably surging and powerful blood force from this young lady.
Of course, this power couldn't be compared to Berean's, but it was close.
Although Vampires with powerful blood force weren't rare, considering the position of this young lady beside Berean, it was obvious that she was only a dependent.
Besides, it seemed like she hadn't been converted into a dependent for a long time.
If that's the case … Yes, it's different.
Looking at the young lady before him, Jenn more or less understood why Berean called him along. This young lady must be Berean's dependent and had just been converted.
But even so, this young lady already possessed such powerful strength and it was apparent that she would strengthen Berean's family.
If this news could be spread, it would naturally be of great benefit to the Berean family's reputation.
The reason why Berean called him along was that he was clear about his target's situation and was able to accurately evaluate this young lady's strength.
"What do you think? She's my proud daughter."
Upon hearing Jenn's question, Berean extended her hand with a smile and gently stroked the young lady's head.
Upon feeling Berean's touch, the young lady revealed a blissful smile and snuggled up to Berean.
Looking at this scene, the other dependents revealed somewhat complicated expressions.
Of course, Jenn felt that his expression wasn't any better than theirs.
It was just because … This scene was too strange.
If it were a human mother and daughter, it wouldn't be strange for them to behave like this.
However, the vampires' family values were entirely different from that of humans. It was due to this reason that what Berean and this young lady were doing right now didn't seem like they had a harmonious relationship.
It was as though they were forcing them to put on a stage play called 'The Deep Love of Mother and Daughter'.
It was so fake that even Zayen did not know what kind of expression he should put on to face this strange scene.
"Disgusting … It's almost time!"
"Yes, it's almost time."
Upon hearing Jenn's grumbles, Berean wasn't angry at all. Instead, she nodded, turned around, and waved her hand at the dependents around her.
Then, a dark shadow flashed across the forest in front of them. In the next moment, the group of people who were standing there completely disappeared without a trace.
At that moment, Berean turned to Jenn.
"Then, I'll have to trouble you to come with us, Count Faas."
"Tsk …!"
Upon hearing Berean's threatening invitation, Jenn gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction. Then, he nodded reluctantly and followed Berean deeper into the forest.
The group of elves that Jenn, or rather, 'Faas', was investigating was located in a campsite near the Spirit Flower Forest.
Judging from their appearance, these elves seemed to be here to patrol.
However, Jenn knew that things weren't that simple. Logically speaking, all the elf patrols should have sent one or two clergies to assist them.
This was to prevent the elves from panicking when they encountered the undead creatures.
However, there weren't any clergies in this group of elves, and they were too far away from the campsite.
Strictly speaking, this was already considered a danger zone. So, what were these elves doing here?
Since there weren't any clergies among them, it meant that the elves didn't want this matter to be known by the Holy Church. Or perhaps it was related to some important secret of the elves?
However, it wasn't difficult to get the answer. As long as he captured this group of elves, he could easily get the information he wanted.
The night deepened.
Hidden in the darkness, Jenn stared at the campsite before him.
Although he couldn't see, he could feel the presence of the vampires all around him.
This was also the unique fighting style of the Vampires. If ordinary undead creatures were like a regular army, then the Vampires were like the special forces of the undead army like the Marine Corps.
They excelled in one-sided infiltration, assassination, and surprise attacks.
And right now, it was the time for the Vampires to show their might.
The chilly night breeze whistled through the forest. The elf on night watch couldn't help but yawn. He narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings.
He narrowed his eyes and scanned the surroundings, gripping the longbow in his hand.
But at this moment, suddenly, a pale, corpse-like hand reached out from the darkness beside the elf and grabbed him.
The dark claws were silent. Only when it grabbed the elf's neck did the latter react and struggle with all his might.
But what was strange was that no matter how hard the elf struggled, he couldn't break free from the seemingly fragile hand.
Shortly after, the fair, delicate fingers shrunk inward. At the next moment, the elf in charge of keeping watch lowered his head silently and lost all signs of life.
At this moment, the figure hidden in the darkness slowly emerged. It was the 'pet' beside Berry that Jenn saw earlier. She widened her eyes and stared at the elf's corpse with interest as though she were looking at an interesting toy.
Then, she did something unimaginable.
The young lady swung her right arm forward abruptly. At the next moment, the elf corpse in her hand was flung away, crashing to the ground and releasing a deep, loud crash.
"What happened?"
Upon hearing the sound, the elves who were resting woke up hurriedly. They gripped their weapons and turned to the source of the sound.
Before they could see what exactly it was that landed on the ground, the young lady metamorphosed into a scarlet ray of light and dashed into the crowd!
