Chapter 54
Chapter 54 Blood Clan Hunting
On the way to the village, Ye Qiyan learned the name of this sloppy uncle.
Otanli.
This guy also had a special identity as the village chief of that village. Besides being given a chance by his father to escape, there was also a secret passage in the basement of his house.
This was dug by Otanli for trysts with a few young widows at the head of the village.
The young widows were gone now, but the secret passage had become a life-saving path.
Crossing a hillside, Ye Qiyan saw a village existing not far away.
Dark red and snow white complemented each other.
Under the low eaves, large batches of bats hung upside down there, sleeping quietly.
Faintly, bursts of wailing and wild laughter could be heard coming from some houses.
Otanli gritted his teeth, tears flowing uncontrollably.
He knelt down to Ye Qiyan once more and begged:
“Lord Hunter, I beg you, I beg you to save them!”
Ye Qiyan did not respond to Otanli’s plea; his purpose was to hunt the Blood Clan, not to save people.
“Where is the secret passage for you to leave the village? Take me there.”
“Over here!”
Otanli brought Ye Qiyan to the side of a hidden cave, where the secret passage was hidden.
Looking at the secret passage that was wide enough to accommodate one person walking upright, Ye Qiyan cast a skeptical glance at Otanli.
“Did you dig this by yourself?”
Otanli smiled sheepishly.
“Those who accompanied me to find those widows included several of my brothers.”
“… You villagers really know how to play…”
“What did you say, Lord Hunter?”
“Nothing, go in first.”
“Ah?”
Without waiting for the other party to react, Ye Qiyan kicked Otanli in the buttocks.
Otanli entered the secret passage in fear to lead the way ahead.
Ye Qiyan followed closely behind at a moderate distance, carefully observing his surroundings.
After his Stamina increased to the limit of 120 points, his physical fitness along with his observational skills had been upgraded.
Even in a pitch-black environment, he could clearly see everything within ten meters.
Swoosh——
A mithril crossbow bolt grazed across the top of Otanli’s head.
“Eek!!!”
He let out a terrified scream as a bat with scarlet eyes was hit by the crossbow bolt, falling to the ground and turning into ashes in the blink of an eye.
Otanli looked back in panic.
He saw Ye Qiyan walking over silently to pick up the crossbow bolt on the ground.
“There are bats, which means this place was discovered long ago.”
“So, this really is a trap after all.”
A burst of cunning laughter suddenly sounded.
Countless bats flapped their wings and blocked the path by which Ye Qiyan had come.
In the darkness, a dozen humanoid monsters with pale skin, ugly appearances, and wrapped in black cloaks slowly walked out.
“Hee hee hee hee, a hunter, there really is a hunter. The True Ancestor was right; as long as someone escapes with that kind of coin, a so-called hunter will definitely appear! I didn’t expect them to come so fast. Hee hee hee hee, human, you don’t really think you escaped, do you?”
The disgusting laughter matched with that disgusting voice tone was even more annoying than the sound of scratching a fingernail on a blackboard.
“H-Hunter lord, I-I don’t know, I didn’t mean to bring you here, I!”
Otanli was anxious to the point of a breakdown; he never expected that his escape had actually been condoned by the Blood Clan.
“I know it has nothing to do with you.”
Ye Qiyan interrupted Otanli’s words.
Looking around, he shook his head with some dissatisfaction.
“Only thirteen Blood Clan members. I thought there would be more.”
The leading Blood Clan member let out a sneer.
“Human, you don’t still think the mithril weapon in your hand can kill us, do you? Let me tell you, in such a dark environment, the speed of our Blood Clan is not something a mere human can keep up with! The Blood Clan in the darkness is invincible! Attack, suck this hunter’s blood dry!”
“Invincible in the darkness? Then let’s just make it bright.”
Snap——
With a snap of his fingers, a stone radiating a soft, faint light appeared in Ye Qiyan’s palm.
The moment this stone appeared, the dozen Blood Clan members surrounding Ye Qiyan instantly felt a great crisis, and their instincts made them instinctively turn around and flee.
But it was too late.
“Close your eyes.”
“Yes!”
The pure purification stone burst out with dazzling brilliance, illuminating the entire secret passage.
Whether it was the bloodthirsty bats or the evil Blood Clan, they all turned to ashes in this brilliance, unable to emit even the slightest sound.
When the light faded away.
Otanli saw that the Blood Clan and bats in the cave had completely disappeared, as if they had never appeared at all, and everything he had just seen was like a dream.
“Let’s go.”
Putting away the pure purification stone, Ye Qiyan continued forward.
Since the Blood Clan already knew about him entering the secret passage.
There was no need to hide anymore either.
Walking out of the secret passage, a few mithril crossbow bolts blasted a few Blood Clan members waiting here.
This was Otanli’s home, and it had now been converted into a blood collection station for the Blood Clan.
A dozen human corpses drained of blood were casually thrown into the corner. Although the few people lying on the beds still had a breath left, it was basically impossible for them to continue living.
Ye Qiyan walked out of this house.
The commotion that had just happened in the secret passage was obviously noticed by the Blood Clan.
The moment they appeared, dozens of Blood Clan members with more bats flew into mid-air.
“Human! Suff…”
The leader hadn’t even finished speaking.
Ye Qiyan directly took out the pure purification stone.
Light suddenly appeared, and wherever it passed, the Blood Clan and bats were instantly turned into flying ash in a second.
Holding the pure purification stone like this, its light continued to expand.
More and more Blood Clan members were eliminated, even if they wanted to dodge.
A single mithril crossbow bolt also could easily take their lives.
Taking a full two hours to walk through every corner of the village, Ye Qiyan did not spare a single Blood Clan member.
Until he made a big circle and returned to Otanli’s home, the village seemed completely clean.
Hunting complete?
Is this a bit too simple?
You must know that this is a Level 5 Platform, but most of the Blood Clan’s levels are only around Level 2, and the occasional few Level 3 ones are meaningless.
So, where is the Level 5 Blood Clan?
“Otanli, what is the name of this village?”
Otanli, who was sitting blankly in front of his brother’s corpse, recovered his senses.
“It’s called Tesi Village, Lord Hunter. Thank you for saving the village and eliminating all the Blood Clan, although, although everyone is dead… but…”
“Shh~”
Tesi Village, this didn’t match the name of the Platform.
Feeling that the pure purification stone in his pocket was still glowing and heating up, Ye Qiyan looked outside.
In the sky, a blood-red spiral vortex was slowly forming, and an aged Blood Clan member who was much uglier than ordinary Blood Clan members dropped down from it, opening his blood-filled maw.
Immediately after.
“Ah!”
Screaming!
Ye Qiyan put on the earplugs he had bought on the Trading Platform after selecting the Platform, a playful arc hooking at the corners of his mouth.
“That’s right. I said, since it’s called the Hunting Platform, how can we not have a boss to fight.”
On the system Light Screen, the monster’s information appeared before his eyes.
[Screaming Blood Ancestor] (Level 5)
[Immune to holy attacks below Level 5. After emitting a scream, it resurrects all corpses to fight for it, continuously reduces the Mental Power of the living, and applies the mental negative effect “Madness”.]
