Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246: Pursuit, Counter-Pursuit

A group of soldiers were running through the forest, their faces filled with terror. They ran aimlessly, without direction, only wishing to escape this place fraught with danger, only wanting to live and return.

One soldier tripped and fell, completely disregarding the pain. He didn’t even bother to pick up his weapon, using his hands and feet, rolling and crawling to continue forward.

Suddenly, a scream erupted from behind. It was unknown who was taken away by the demons in the darkness, letting out a cry of despair, which made others extremely afraid. They ran frantically, not even having the courage to look back.

Several vampires stood on treetops, looking smugly at the soldiers who were running for their lives. In their eyes, these soldiers were no different from lambs awaiting slaughter.

"Come, slaughter to your heart’s content," the vampires leaped down from the treetops, pounced on the soldiers directly, then opened their fanged mouths and bit down on the necks.

The soldiers were numerous and armed, but they had long lost their courage. Seeing vampires slaughtering their comrades, even when they had the chance to fire their weapons, they chose to ignore it and continued to run.

Wild laughter and piercing screams filled the surroundings, elite vampire warriors reveled in the thrill of chasing prey, and even occasionally toyed with their prey, scaring them out of their wits.

The soldiers cried and screamed, running for their lives, but they were eventually caught and could not escape death.

Some soldiers hid behind a tree, trembling, but their heartbeat and breathing betrayed their position. Several vampires gathered, tearing him to shreds.

"Waste, all are wastes. Are we too strong, or are these people too useless?" one vampire drank blood heartily, very delighted, with a corner of his mouth raised, unable to hide his arrogance.

It was then that a faint voice arose behind this vampire, "Since you find this boring, how about I add a bit of difficulty for you."

"Who is it?" The vampire turned in horror, only to be pierced through the heart by a wooden stake, then, in terror, he fell straight down, his body turning to ash gray.

The Mysterious Masked Man appeared, neatly finishing off a vampire warrior. However, his indifferent eyes did not regard the dozen or so vampire warriors before him as a threat at all.

These vampire warriors were no fools. Seeing the skill, they knew the masked individual before them was not to be trifled with, and they were all incredibly nervous.

"What’s wrong? Did you not just say human soldiers were useless? Where did your earlier bravado go, why don’t you dare to come forward, are you afraid now?" the Mysterious Masked Man said while picking up a gun from the ground.

"Bastard, let’s get him together," the provocation stirred the vampire warriors, then they charged at the Mysterious Masked Man together.

"Good come!" The Mysterious Masked Man picked up the gun, fired several shots here and there. His movements were swift, his shooting accurate. The five vampires who rushed at him were hit by wooden bullets in the heart almost simultaneously, all grunting before collapsing.

Seeing this, the remaining vampire warriors panicked and quickly hid behind the trees, their hearts filled with terror, realizing they had encountered a tough opponent.

Just moments ago, the vampire warriors were hunting their prey, now they had become the prey themselves, but there was no sense of humiliation in their hearts, only fear.

"Do you think you can just hide and be safe?" The mysterious masked figure made his move, darting from one tree to another, thrusting wooden spikes into the hearts of the vampire soldiers, defeating them one by one.

If the mysterious masked figure had had to deal with over twenty elite vampire soldiers at once, he wouldn’t have been able to take them down so easily. Unfortunately, this time he only encountered ten who had been scared out of their wits and had scattered to hide, making it even easier for the mysterious masked figure to eliminate them.

Meanwhile, in a command room within the Tower of Darkness, Xue Wang and Lord Xiong watched the red signals on the screen diminish in number, their expressions calm, not overly concerned.

Each pulsing red signal on the screen represented an elite vampire soldier. The pulsing indicated that the vampire soldier was still alive.

After deploying ten thousand elite vampire soldiers, they easily swept through the outside regular troops, annihilating them completely but at the cost of two thousand elite vampire soldiers.

According to the data displayed on the screen, there were fewer than eight thousand signals left, and the number was still decreasing.

Xue Wang observed the scattering of the red life signals, knowing that the elite vampire soldiers were pursuing the defeated regular troops. He also knew there would be some resistance and that more elite soldiers would continue to be killed, but as long as the losses were not substantial and they completely annihilated the regular troops, the sacrifice was worth it. Thus, he would tell the world that this place was not to be trifled with.

Suddenly, ten red life signals disappeared all at once, their rapid decline drawing the attention of the monitors, who informed Xue Wang of this anomaly.

In response, Xue Wang simply said, "Keep watching!"

Shortly after, another dozen red life signals vanished, not far from where the previous ten had disappeared.

At this point, Xue Wang and Lord Xiong started to pay attention, speculating that they might have encountered a group of fleeing regular troops, and that the opponent’s numbers were large, hence the consecutive losses of two groups of elite vampire soldiers.

On the screen, every now and then, one or two red life signals would disappear, and no one paid much attention. That was until an entire group of elite vampire soldiers’ life signals vanished, shocking everyone, as this group consisted of fifteen elite vampire soldiers.

The locations where three groups of elite vampire soldiers disappeared were not far apart, making Xue Wang and Lord Xiong vigilantly wonder what terrible thing these groups had encountered, or if someone was specifically targeting these vampire groups.

After the life signals of the fourth and fifth groups of vampires vanished in succession, Organization X finally realized the severity of the situation. Xue Wang immediately issued an order for all elite vampire soldiers in the vicinity to assemble and flush out the adversary. Xue Wang was eager to see who had the skill to continuously defeat five groups of elite vampire soldiers.

Xue Wang then ordered the remaining groups to continue pursuing the defeated regular troops, still insisting that no one should be allowed to leave Dark Primitive Mountain alive.

Lord Xiong watched the pulsing red life signals on the screen, his brow furrowed, feeling a bad premonition, which soon proved to be true.

The three groups of elite vampire soldiers, totaling thirty-five, moved together according to Xue Wang’s orders to confront the opponent. As a result, their life signals disappeared all at once.
