(First Update) 934: Chapter 944 Vampire?
Werewolf!
(First Update) At this mont, Tang Zhong had already gotten off the plane and arrived at the Federation.
The Federation was an alliance of countries like Seagull Country and others.
Tang Zhong cautiously checked the surroundings multiple tis.
After confirming that no one was following him, he finally felt at ease.
This was because Tang Zhong was afraid soone had lured him here, but nurous observations confird one thing—this ti, there really wasn’t anyone tailing him.
It seed the chances of finding Shi Tou here were quite high.
The only thing he could do now was to search!
Even if it ant searching the entire Federation, he was determined to see it through.
At this mont, Li Linglong’s phone call ca in.
Tang Zhong answered casually: “Hello, what’s going on?”
Before Tang Zhong had left, he entrusted Zhang Changgong’s grandfather with arrangents for the Dragon Group.
He also tasked Li Linglong with managing the group’s other affairs since Zhang Changgong’s grandfather still needed to cultivate, and ti wasn’t that pressing.
“Tang Zhong, you’ve got another letter, marked as urgent.
Hey, when did you start having so many pen pals?
It seed urgent, so I’m calling you now.
Should I open it?” Li Linglong asked.
“Open it!” Tang Zhong responded without any hesitation.
Thinking about letters imdiately reminded Tang Zhong of the last one.
He’d just arrived in the Federation, and this letter had followed—there had to be a connection.
“Alright, I’ll open it!
The letter only says one thing: It’s asking you to go to Mount Collins!” Li Linglong said.
“Quick, help check what that place is!” Tang Zhong instructed.
“Got it!”
Soon, Li Linglong had soone investigate.
The result ca back quickly: “Mount Collins is a massive active volcano near the Federation.
It’s exceptionally large in scale.
Historical records describe it as a land of death.
It’s said that for a hundred miles around, there isn’t a single soul.
Say, why are you going there?
Could this letter be so kind of prank?”
Tang Zhong didn’t believe for a second that it was a prank.
Who exactly was this person sending him letters?
How did they know the mont he arrived in the Federation?
“Did anyone see who delivered the letter?”
“No one!
The letter seed to appear out of thin air.
It was handed to the staff and then delivered to !” Li Linglong replied.
The mysterious nature of the ssenger only deepened.
Tang Zhong said, “From now on, if soone delivers another letter to , make sure to catch them.”
“Alright!” Li Linglong agreed, though sowhat puzzled.
Why catch the ssenger?
“I’m hanging up now!” Tang Zhong said curtly.
He began researching Mount Collins.
It seed soone was trying to direct him toward this volcano.
Since it had co to this, now that he was already in the Federation, Tang Zhong naturally wouldn’t retreat.
Soon, his phone screen displayed a full description of Mount Collins.
Then followed news reports from the Federation about Mount Collins.
“Explorers who ventured into Mount Collins have never returned.
Is it truly the paradise of death?”
“A dormant volcano, a waking deathtrap!”
…
A series of ominous headlines.
Tang Zhong scanned them one by one, his brows furrowing.
Mount Collins truly seed like a veritable land of death.
Countless explorers had entered, only to perish within!
Suddenly, a particular news story caught Tang Zhong’s attention.
“At Mount Collins, on full moon nights, the stench of blood rises to the heavens, accompanied by occasional beastly howls!”
“On the fifteenth of every month, young girls near Mount Collins vanish without a trace… sotis dozens, sotis hundreds!”
This heightened Tang Zhong’s curiosity about the volcano.
How could such a place actually exist?
Who was it that wanted to lure him here?
He could only go and see for himself.
Getting into a taxi.
The driver was a white man, speaking fluent Water Country language: “From Xuan Country, where do you plan to go?”
“Mount Collins!” Tang Zhong replied, also in the Water Country language.
The cheerful smile of the white driver instantly vanished, replaced with a tense expression.
He stared seriously at Tang Zhong and said, “Are you sure you want to go there?”
“Yes,” Tang Zhong affird.
“Get out.
No matter how much you pay, I’m not taking you there.
Tonight is a full moon night!” The white driver seed to have been struck by so unspeakable terror.
The car door snapped open with a loud click!
Tang Zhong was unceremoniously dropped off.
The white man muttered curses under his breath as he left, his fearful expression unmistakable: “Crazy!
Heading to that volcano on a full moon night?
That’s just asking to die!”
His words reached Tang Zhong’s ears, causing his brows to knit tighter.
It seed this volcano was viewed as a forbidden place by the locals.
Tang Zhong began searching for another taxi driver, but upon hearing his destination, each one’s imdiate reaction was to tell him to get out of the car.
Tang Zhong felt a bit frustrated.
Without these taxis, he couldn’t reach the volcano quickly enough.
Just as Tang Zhong was feeling deeply troubled, a burly man with a thick brown beard agreed to take him.
Although the ntion of Mount Collins made him slightly startled, he didn’t outright refuse.
Only after confirming multiple tis did he let Tang Zhong into the car.
Once in the cab, the burly man kept scrutinizing Tang Zhong.
“Are you an adventurer?
Or maybe a geologist?
Or an explorer?
Judging by your appearance, you must be from Xuan Country!”
“Yes.” Tang Zhong replied, starting to listen attentively.
“There’s sothing I have to tell you.
Mount Collins is a place where people often die.
Many explorers have perished there.
So of them even rode in my taxi, but within a month, I’d read their obituaries in the newspaper.
I used to be a villager near the volcano, so I know how dangerous that place is.
So I’ll ask you one more ti: Are you sure you want to go?” the bearded man asked cautiously.
“But from what I’ve read, that volcano looks like an ordinary one!” Tang Zhong replied.
He hoped to glean so secrets about Mount Collins from this man.
“That volcano is far from ordinary,” the man whispered, glancing out the window as though afraid of being overheard.
After ensuring no one was around, he confided in Tang Zhong: “I’ll share sothing with you, but you must never repeat it.
If you do, people will think we’re crazy.”
“Understood,” Tang Zhong agreed, nodding.
“Do you know why no one dares to approach Mount Collins on full moon nights?” the burly man asked seriously.
“Why?”
“They say there are beings on that volcano who suck blood—beings that can transform into wolves.
You probably think I’m spouting nonsense, don’t you?”
“Vampires?
Werewolves?” Tang Zhong had heard of these entities in Western European myths.
“Yes, exactly!
I’m telling you, so villagers were killed like that.
Entire families wiped out.
When their bodies were found, they were completely drained of blood and water, dried up like shriveled branches.
It’s terrifying!” The burly man’s voice trembled as he spoke, vividly recalling a horrifying mory.
