"Well, I didn't expect it to be so weak. I thought the werewolves in this world were quite powerful."
Gazing at the wolf's carcass lying on the ground, severed into two pieces, Wu Xian frowned and retracted his fist.
Before, he and the members of the Central Plains team had engaged in an activity of hunting dark creatures, encountering all sorts of demons and ghosts. He even killed a few vampires, but he had never seen a werewolf, which should be a common sight in a magical world.
At the beginning, Wu Xian thought it was because of Dracula that the wolfman had been eradicated early on, in order not to allow any creatures that could threaten him to exist in the world.
But after personally killing a werewolf, he became increasingly skeptical of the rumors that a werewolf could kill Dracula.
Nothing else, they're just too weak.
Even if the werewolf virus is the vampire's enemy, it shouldn't be so absurd. After all, Dracula isn't an ordinary vampire. In the setting, neither holy water nor sunlight can kill him. There's no reason for him to be afraid of a mere werewolf.
Wu Xian is seriously suspicious that this is a false message leaked out by Dracula on purpose, aiming to mislead the demon hunters who want to deal with him, and revealing the truth when they think they have achieved their goal, enjoying their desperate and terrified expressions.
After all, if Wu Xian were Dracula, he would definitely do something like that.
As for Van Helsing in the movie, why was he able to easily defeat and kill Dracula after becoming a werewolf...
Is it possible that Dracula died not because Van Helsing turned into a werewolf, but because it was Van Helsing who turned into a werewolf?
Recalling the memory images he had seen earlier, Wu Xian squinted his eyes, temporarily suppressing the storm of thoughts in his mind.
At this time, Van Helsing and the rest of the Central Plains team also arrived at his side. They looked at the wolf's corpse on the ground, with some strange expressions on their faces.
"Wu, you killed it like that?"
Van Helsing asked with a frown, for he had originally intended to use this werewolf to confront Dracula.
"It's different from Edward (Zheng Zha). It's Dracula's most loyal dog, and it's not going to help us. After all, what scares Dracula is the werewolf virus. We just need to extract it from his blood and salivary glands. We have experts in this field here, just let him take care of it."
As always, although he felt that it was unlikely, trying is never wrong. If it doesn't work, he can also let Van Helsing become a werewolf, which would be another ace up his sleeve.
Thinking this in his mind, Wu Xian turned his gaze towards Chu Xuan. The other nodded understandingly, then took out a maw-capsule to gather up the wolf carcass.
And the astonishing scene instantly stunned Van Helsing and the approaching Wilkins siblings.
Only after Zhan Lan explained that this was an oriental exorcism tool, did the former gaze at Wu Xian and others with a look of envy: "That's really impressive. Our Holy Knights' Order doesn't have anything like this. It would be much more convenient for us to go out and perform exorcisms in the future."
"If you want, after we deal with Dracula, I can send you a few as a parting gift... Of course, if you're still alive by then."
Sensing the sourness in Van Helsing's tone, Wu Xian said with some deeper meaning, and then looked at the nervous Wilkins siblings, offering a kind smile.
"Judging by the attire, you two must be nobles. I suppose you are Prince Wilkins and Princess Anna."
"Wilkins coughed, and he instinctively protected his sister with his hand after seeing Wu Xian punch the wolfman into two pieces just now, even though he knew that the other was a demon hunter."
"Yes, I am Wilkins. Thank you very much for saving my sister just now. The Velaris family will remember your kindness."
"It's my pleasure. My companions and I have long heard of the great name of the Velaris family. You have resisted darkness for over four hundred years, making you heroes of this world who are worthy of respect."
"As I said, my expression also became serious: 'It's no secret that our arrival in Transylvania is to eliminate Dracula, so that your ancestors can rest in peace and return their souls to heaven.'"
"Really!".
Upon hearing this, Wilkins and Anna were overjoyed. Thinking about Wu Xian's displayed strength and the vanished wolf carcass earlier, they immediately became hopeful, feeling that the victory might be assured.
At the same time, Van Helsing looked at the agitated brother and sister with a sense of helplessness.
He, who was the main warrior and had come at the command of the church, was now more like a backup for Wu Xian. The mood slightly felt depressed.
Luckily, the problem isn't big. Although our camps are different, we are all here to kill Dracula.
Moreover, according to the bishop's words, as long as they complete this task, there is a chance for them to regain their memories.
For Van Helsing, this was the most important thing!
...
In the depths of the ancient town, within a magnificent castle!
The Velaris family had long since fallen into decline, and by Wilkins' generation, it was just him and his sister Anna. They were so thinly populated that they didn't even look like a noble family.
However, as they say, even a withered camel is bigger than a horse, and a broken boat still has three thousand nails.
Although the Velaris family is poor, they still have the title of Gypsy King, which is enough to maintain the basic dignity of nobility. They can certainly properly entertain the Central Plains team and Van Helsing, as well as feed the stomachs of these dozen people.
In a modestly luxurious restaurant, nearly twenty people were dining at an elongated table.
Due to the previous act of saving their lives, as well as the fact that Wu Xian and his companions had come to eliminate Dracula, they were treated with the utmost respect.
Servants carrying trays of food placed them on the table, and Wilkins personally poured out a vintage wine that had been stored for many years. In his conversation, he demonstrated his elegant demeanor and refined manners, making people feel as if they were in the presence of a prince, fully living up to his royal status.
At the same time, Anna also sat next to female members of the Central Plains team like Zhan Lan and Zhao Yingkong, curiously asking them about their past experiences in hunting demons.
The women did not refuse, and each of them recounted their experiences of killing dark creatures in the past two months to Anna, who, as a princess who had never left Romania, exclaimed repeatedly.
"Wu Mr., thank you so much."
Seeing his sister's rare smile, Wilkins felt warm in his heart. He took a full glass of red wine and approached Wu Xian, speaking sincerely with a heartfelt tone.
"To be honest, since my father disappeared, I've actually been prepared to die at Dracula's hands. The only thing I was worried about was Anna. But with your appearance, I see a glimmer of hope."
"In order to express my gratitude, I am willing to donate all the wealth of the Velaris family to you. Even if Dracula cannot be eliminated in the end, it's okay. I only ask that you protect Anna's safety and preferably take her with you..."
The last sentence, his voice was low, obviously afraid that Anna would hear it.
That's a brother doting on his sister!
Wu Xian sighed in his heart, but the sound of Sheng Xiqi's reminder was heard in his ear. It was the miniature robot released by Chu Xuan that discovered five dark creatures were rapidly approaching, about 15 kilometers away.
Five?
Wu Xian furrowed his brow, if Dracula could sense the death of werewolves, so he sent vampiric brides beforehand, he wouldn't be surprised, but this number seems to be wrong.
Even if Dracula himself is included, he should only have four vampires there.
Or... has he married a new wife again?
