Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System Chapter 324: Courting Death!

They may be dark hunters, but they beca one because of circumstances, different from others who do it out of greed. They had people who couldn't fight, even children and the elderly.

'If I sell everything, I should be able to buy so large mounts to make our way there. And with these strong hunters going all the way here, it ans they should have cleaned up so of the paths.'

"Leader, what should we do now?"

"Forget about him. We will pillage everything we can, then return back to the base.

He has a point. If we can return to the human city, our lives will be far better.

With our experience, we can make our own guild or make a deal with an existing one."

"What about this lizard?" one of the dark hunters asked as his sword was put on the Dragari child's neck.

"Tie him up, just to make sure he doesn't do anything weird."

anwhile, Alex found his head dizzy. He could feel sothing cold touching his face. The last mory he had was engulfed with blinding light, then everything else turned dark.

'Vesa, what happened?' Alex asked.

But he didn't get any answer. Looking into his inner world, he saw a strange sigil that looked like an eye carved on top of the sky.

"Alucard," Alex called out.

It was clear soone was ssing with his soul. With Alucard inside him, this should be impossible to happen, or at the very least, he should have so resistance.

But Alex didn't feel anything other than a blackout.

'My connection with Vesa and MingYue is also cut. Is it that eye being again? Dammit!'

Focusing his senses on his body, Alex could feel his legs subrged under cold water. Opening his eyes, he was t with a view of the forest. He turned his gaze around and then froze.

In front of him was a beautiful maiden with eyes filled with shock. Her body was subrged underwater, but with how clear it was, Alex had no problem seeing everything.

The woman had long curly green hair falling onto her chest. Her erald eyes looked like those of a reptile, with two draconic horns coming out from her forehead.

"Kyaaa…" the woman scread and quickly hid her body with her hands.

In that instant, a loud scream reached Alex's ear. If he were just a normal awakener, he was sure his eardrums would burst open, "JUNIOR, YOU DARE PEEKING AT OUR PRINCESS?!! YOU ARE COURTING DEATH!!!"

Alex's lips twitched as the developnt was sothing he was very familiar with.

'Just what did I get myself into now… wait, this is not my fault. It's that damned eye, bastard,' Alex cursed in his mind while turning his gaze toward the voice.

He saw an elderly man looking at him with stern eyes. All his hair was white, but his body was still fit like a young man. He wore a white robe with a draconic horn coming out from his head.

Alex just wanted to form a reply when the woman suddenly yelled, "Get out! BOTH OF YOU, OUT!"

The elderly man quickly moved. He jumped, trying to pick Alex and leave the place.

Alex saw the elderly man's hand coming toward him. He quickly responded, deflecting it while jumping out from the river.

"I can go by myself," Alex replied with a nonchalant expression, then began walking deep into the forest.

His actions surprised the elderly man and the woman.

"I will go first, princess," the elderly man said without looking at her, his gaze burning with curiosity about Alex's back.

He couldn't feel any strength coming from Alex, but he still managed to deflect his attack easily. Considering the predicant his clan was in, so ideas started forming in his mind.

"Hey, Junior, wait for . Didn't your parents teach you to respect the elderly?"

Despite saying this, the man had already arrived behind Alex without any problem.

'When in Ro, do as the Romans do,' Alex thought. With how the elderly man talked, he could guess what kind of culture this world had.

He stopped in his steps, then turned his gaze with an amiable smile on his face. Putting both hands in front of his chest, Alex gave a small bow.

"Senior, this junior is Alex. What happened was just an accident."

"That will be up to our princess to judge, but where do you co from? I've never seen clothing style like that."

Thinking fast, Alex replied, "This junior just has a unique sense of fashion. Anyway, how can I help you, senior?"

Alex already knew he wouldn't be allowed to leave, not that he planned to since he needed to get more information. But by taking the initiative to offer his help, he knew they would look at him in a better light.

This is also why Alex chose to deflect the old man's hand, to show his prowess.

The old man started stroking his white beard. "For now, let's wait for the princess. I am sure she has sothing to say after what you did."

Alex's lips twitched, 'I know it. Every single old man I et is a sly fox. He purposely said that to remind I am the one at fault.'

"I don't know how you ended up suddenly appearing there, but based on your appearance, you seem to be in trouble."

Alex's armor was torn in so parts and painted with dry bloodstains.

"I already defeated my enemy, senior. He sohow teleported away," Alex replied.

The elderly man frowned since it was different from what he suspected. He thought Alex used a life-saving thod, like a teleportation talisman, to escape, but it turned out the opponent was the one using it.

A teleportation talisman should have teleported him to a safe area, usually one with no other living beings around.

'Is his enemy just desperate, trying to teleport him sowhere dangerous? But it's weird; I've never heard this happen before.'
