Chapter 1336: Chapter 1336 Fishing in Troubled Waters

Su Hui turned around, showing a scornful smile, "What, you big men can’t stand losing?"

"We can certainly afford to lose, so we’re losing and trading hostages as agreed upon, but whether you can leave safely is another matter." After saying that, the vampire warriors revealed malicious smiles one after another.

Irina also huffed, "Big men can’t stand losing, and to top it off, they shamelessly look for excuses and outnumber us."

To this, Lu Yi retorted, "That’s not right, they are vampires, not humans, you can’t define them as men."

Ouyang Jin with a look of disgust said, "Look at what you’re saying. If not by men, should they be defined by women or neither? It’s like they don’t even deserve the title of real men."

Lu Yi felt that was true too, "Then they can only be defined as males."

Ouyang Jin shook his head, "Male is generally used to define animals. Are you saying vampires are even less than humans?"

That statement seemed reasonable yet somehow inappropriate. Hearing Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin argue, the vampire warriors got infuriated and roared, "If you two dare to yap any further, don’t blame us for ripping your mouths apart."

Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin quickly shut their mouths and buried their heads in their clothes, showing expressions of knowing they were wrong.

Finally, the noisy ones quieted down, the vampire warriors refocused on Su Hui and Irina, and then started advancing step by step.

"If you want to keep us, come and get us," Su Hui said as she grabbed Irina and ran with astonishing speed.

Five vampire warriors stayed behind to guard the hostages, while the other vampire warriors charged after them, confident that Su Hui couldn’t run fast with someone else, so it wouldn’t take long to catch them.

Suddenly, Lin Xi descended from the sky, and a Protective Barrier blocked the pursuing vampire warriors.

"What?" Caught off guard, the vampire warriors slammed into the Protective Barrier and, due to their full-speed sprint, they ended up flipping over.

Then, Lin Xi summoned a fierce storm that instantly swept around, raising dirt and dust that obscured the sky.

The storm blew fiercely; the vampire warriors couldn’t stand still and were blown away, let alone Lu Yi, Ouyang Jin, and the rest.

Everyone was tossed around helplessly and rolled on the ground several times, unable to help but shout out.

What was once a neat formation now became scattered by the storm, plunging the scene into chaos, providing the perfect opportunity to escape.

The vampire warriors quickly regained their footing and bellowed, "No one runs, or they’re dead."

Hearing this, those who originally wanted to take the chance to escape hesitated, and in that moment of hesitation, they were grabbed by the vampire warriors and dragged back.

The vampire warriors no longer wanted to chase after Su Hui but hurriedly gathered all the scattered hostages, somewhat fearful of missing anyone and being unable to explain themselves later.

Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin hadn’t run far when they were caught up by the vampires, and Lu Yi explained cheerily that the sandstorm had scattered everyone, causing them to lose their way.

The vampire warriors, tired of listening to Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin’s nonsense, picked them up like chickens and brought them back to the main group.

Counting the people, they found one person missing, and the vampire warriors’ faces turned ugly as they sent people to search the area again.

In just a short while, the vampire warrior heard muffled groans nearby and hurried over to see.

A man lay on the ground, bound and unable to stand, only able to lie there and groan. Presumably, the wind had blown him here, and then he tripped.

Without much thought, the vampire warrior picked up the man and brought him back to the group. Now, no one was missing.

"Alright, let’s continue moving. No one should even think about escaping, or else...," the vampire warrior said sternly, his murderous look undisguised as a warning.

Lu Yi nodded, "Don’t worry, we’ll cooperate nicely. Whatever you say goes, as long as you provide food and shelter. By the way, which star-rated hotel are we staying at tonight?"

The vampire warrior was taken aback at first and then felt slighted; his gaze turned icy with killing intent, scaring everyone into keeping their distance from Lu Yi.

The vampire took a deep breath and finally suppressed his annoyance, ordering the hostages to continue walking.

Having narrowly escaped trouble, Lu Yi was relieved and decided firmly never to speak out of turn again.

As everyone followed the vampire warrior toward Dark City, Ouyang Jin came up and said, "Dude, I really admire you. I mean, being a doomsayer is one thing, but can’t you choose a better time to speak? They are ruthless vampires, our enemies. Why do you talk so much when you have nothing in common with them?"

Lu Yi looked genuinely apologetic, "I’m really sorry; I don’t know why but I have to speak my mind, or else I feel uncomfortable all over."

"Man, you’re lucky this time—but don’t let there be a next time, or even Gu Fan won’t be able to save us." Just as Ouyang Jin finished speaking, he remembered something odd, "Isn’t it strange that Su Hui and Lin Xi have shown up, but Gu Fan hasn’t?"

Lu Yi shrugged, "Didn’t Sister Su tell you? Gu Fan is recovering from an injury, so he didn’t come..."

At that moment, Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin exchanged looks, arriving at a critical realization: since Su Hui was delivering messages for Gu Fan, that meant she was with him.

When Su Hui was in trouble, Lin Xi had suddenly appeared, apparently having been ambushing nearby for a rendezvous, meaning Lin Xi and Su Hui were together.

Combining these facts, Lin Xi and Gu Fan were also together now and, considering Lin Xi’s strong supernatural power, she must have recovered, and with her skills, even if Gu Fan was injured, she could have healed him.

"Exactly, why did Sister Su say Gu Fan was injured? Is Gu Fan being unsupportive and pretending to be dead instead of rescuing us?" Lu Yi pondered, rubbing his chin, when suddenly a voice from nearby said, "What do you mean by that? Do you really distrust my character that much?"

Hearing this, Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin turned in astonishment—it was indeed Gu Fan.

Gu Fan glanced at them, gesturing for silence to keep them from making any noise.

Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin nodded slightly, indicating they understood and would be careful.

Lu Yi, curious, looked at Gu Fan, also fully tied up, wondering when he had sneaked in without anyone noticing.

Gu Fan smiled knowingly, conveying a deep significance. Since there were too many spies around, now was not the time for explanations, so Gu Fan slowly kept his distance from Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin without arousing the suspicions of the vampire warriors.
