"What's going on, shouldn't they be in that small town in France? How did they end up in Romania and got turned into werewolves by Count Dracula?"
Ten minutes later, the crowd gathered back in the castle, and the battle between the CZ team and the two vampire brides had also ended.
Among them, the more ferocious Maryka had her heart shattered by a strike from Kingdom Zongyi and was then decapitated by Dugu Feng with a runesword, dead beyond description.
Instead, Zhu Peng deliberately left an opening, with the help of Mu Gang and Qi Tengyi, severely beating the vampire named Venona to a point where she couldn't take care of herself. At the same time, her five senses and body were sealed. She had already been tightened in Xuanchen's pharyngeal pouch at this moment. It was unknown what she would encounter next.
However, compared to the two vampire brides, the people present seemed more interested in the two werewolves, or rather, Lu Renjia and Xiao Bingyi who had transformed into wolves.
"How, do you know these two people?"
At this moment, Fan Haixin spoke up and asked, "Why didn't I have a chance to show off in front of Princess Anna before? The vampires were about to attack, but the CZ team acted too fast for me to make a move." He was very frustrated.
"Yes, they are also members of the Middle Continent Monster Hunters team. They sustained serious injuries while dealing with dark creatures in France, so I left them there. Who knew something like this would happen."
Facing Fan Haixin's question, Wu Xian responded carelessly and spoke in the mental network:
[Jian Lan, did you get anything from the memories of the vampire brides? Why did Dracula capture them and what about that bald man called Li San? What's his current situation?]
Li San is the bald man who declared at the beginning of the horror movie that he would knock everyone "once and split them in two."
Based on the current situation of Lu Renjia and the other two, it is likely that their fate is not good. They might have been transformed into werewolves or vampires.
The former is okay, at least he has white-patched a B-level werewolf bloodline. Even if there are problems with the bloodline, there are solutions when returning to the Main God Space.
But it would be terrible if he turned into a vampire. According to the information obtained from Fan Haixin, all vampires who have been transformed by Dracula have their lives bound to him. Once he, as the source, dies, these vampires will also die along with him.
Coincidentally, their current mission is to eliminate the source of vampires in this world, and Dracula is the top target. Whether it's true or not, the CZ team must go after him.
Of course, Wu Xian didn't care about Li San's life or death, but his intuition told him that this guy would play a very important role in the later plot. He felt a bit irritable all of a sudden.
[No, the three of them seem to have been captured by Dracula himself. When the vampire brides encountered them, they had already been forcibly transformed into werewolves.]
As for that Li San... According to the memories of the vampire brides, he was finally taken away by Dracula and now it's unknown where he is hidden.]
[What a hassle. If I had known this, I should have brought them three along when I was farming points, even if it was just to serve as a meal for the dark creatures. It would have been better than now...]
Wu Xian shook his head and muttered to himself, "What a blunder." But who would have thought that Dracula, a major boss, wouldn't be waiting for them at the bottom of the game, and instead, he would sneak attack the three weakest people in their team, with obvious malicious intent.
Damn it! How could the antagonists not be dumb as a bag of hammers? What's the use of being smart if you're average intelligence like Zheng Zha?
Speaking of intelligence, Wu Xian couldn't help but look at Chu Xuan, eager to hear the opinion of this "Ancient Intelligence Compeer."
Chu Xuan pushed his glasses up and didn't use mental transmission, but spoke directly instead: "The current information is insufficient, and I can't analyze much. However, it's obvious that Dracula has already learned of our existence and even knows about the majority of our strengths."
"Under such circumstances, he still sends people to confront us. Besides the intention of testing us, it should also be to delay time in order to prepare some plans, such as significantly enhancing his own strength to become powerful enough to deal with all of us."
"Therefore, what we need to do is to prevent Dracula from having time to prepare. Now is the best time to act, because he certainly wouldn't have expected that after being attacked, we would launch a full-scale assault immediately and also find his hiding place quickly."
After saying all that, the hall was instantly silent, and everyone turned their gazes towards Wu Xian, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Strike directly at the dragon's lair? Alright, better late than never, and I'm not in the mood for playing any more games with him… Chu Xuan, how long would it take for you to extract the werewolf virus now?"
Um, although it seems unlikely, for safety's sake, we should prepare the werewolf virus first. If all else fails, we can turn Fan Haixin into a werewolf to add a powerful combatant to our side.
"Maximum of ten minutes."
Chu Xuan spoke lightly, but his calm tone hinted at an indescribable confidence.
"Good, everyone, get ready. In fifteen minutes, we'll all go to attack the Blood Castle together!"
...
Shortly after, everyone was ready and arrived at the castle's armory, where they found a wall mural map in one corner.
The map depicted a network of mountains and rivers crisscrossing through cities, forests, and lakes, drawn with great detail.
At the bottom of the map, there was also a string of Latin characters, but one corner was missing.
In the original plot, this map led directly to the castle where Dracula lived. To open it, one needed to complete the missing piece of the map.
Interestingly, that piece of the map has been kept in the Vatican. Recently, it was handed over to Fan Haixin through the church branch in London.
Because Zheng Zha has a double agent identity, he mentioned the role of this key item on his way to Transylvania, thus skipping over many of the decoding steps.
Now that Fan Haixin had seen the map, he immediately took out the piece of the map and pieced it together, while examining the Latin characters on it. He unconsciously opened his mouth to recite the incantation for opening a teleportation spell: "In God's name, open this door..."
As soon as the words were spoken, the mural glowed with a faint aura. With a series of crackling sounds, the map gradually disappeared, ultimately transforming into a mirror with a silver, bright white surface.
"Is this the Blood Castle in the back?"
While speaking, gold flames danced in Wu Xian's eyes as he examined the mirror in front of him. He could vaguely see some mysterious runes flickering, guessing that this should be some kind of portal array. Without hesitation, he walked into the mirror first.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, and soon they all disappeared from the castle's armory.
The Wenken siblings had also wanted to go in, but they were sternly refused by Wu Xian, who stated that they were about to face Dracula in a decisive battle. They originally had a fifty-fifty chance of winning, and with the addition of the two of them, it would become a twenty-eight-to-two game.
Team CZ 2, Dracula 8.
The damage isn't severe, but the insult is incredibly strong. That's just reality. After all, they are just ordinary people. They can't even deal with a regular werewolf, let alone Dracula.
"Brother, do you think they can succeed?"
Anna looked at the mirror in front of her, her face full of worry.
"I don't know, but if they can't kill Dracula, then the Villefort family will definitely be doomed."
Wilken sighed and then drew a cross on his chest, devoutly praying:
"May God bless them..."
