Chapter 192 Separated Actions

The demon hunters didn't pursue for the time being, but everyone knew that this was not a place to stay for long: even though Vivian had used magic to erase the group's aura, demon hunters were always known for their hound-like pursuit and endless patience. Unless they were completely shaken off, they would continue to track their prey until a life-or-death struggle, and it was clear that the demon hunters hadn't given up yet.

However, Hao Ren and the others had to rest for a while in this wasteland, because they needed to recover their strength and heal their injuries.

Eun Ebon barely escaped with his life. When he was brought out, he looked as miserable as a corpse. Kasa Ebon hadn't completely removed the exorcising power from his body. Vivian hadn't suffered any injuries, but her physical strength was greatly depleted. And Hao Ren needed to wait for his shield to recharge. In summary, apart from Lily, who was abnormally energetic, the remaining four basically needed time to recuperate. Otherwise, continuing to run would only waste energy, and they might carelessly leave traces and be caught by the demon hunters.

"Cough... I haven't suffered such serious injuries in over a hundred years," Eun Ebon said, lying on the ground with a pale face and a self-deprecating smile. The burns and frostbite on his body still looked frightening, but that was already a layer of dead skin. New skin was slowly wriggling and growing beneath those scorched marks. The terrifying penetrating wound in his stomach had also stopped bleeding, and the muscles and blood vessels near the wound were tremblingly piecing themselves together and growing together. It seemed that complete recovery was only a matter of time. "The last time I had a hole punched in me was in 1943. You lied to me that human sniper rifles weren't that powerful... cough cough, and this time you lied to me that the vampire's clones had low combat power..."

"This time you were the one who let the demon hunters punch a hole in you, okay?" Kasa Ebon rolled his eyes. "And last time, how was I supposed to know you'd stick the barrel in your mouth? I told you to 'taste the bullet,' not to taste it like that."

"If I hadn't been so badly injured while fighting that clone, how would I have let a mere demon hunter shoot me into a wall?" Eun twitched the corner of his mouth. "Damn it, I'm so hungry now, so very hungry. I've definitely burned through three days' worth of fat reserves. I feel like I could eat a rock right now..."

Lily finished sharpening her claws and happened to hear this. Her mind blanked, and she picked up a rock from the side and handed it over: "Here, a rock."

Kasa and Eun looked at each other, and finally closed their eyes: "Damn it, all for the sake of this mentally ill bear child!"

Hao Ren watched the two werewolves bickering with great interest, knowing that Eun was probably trying to divert his attention from the pain. He found that these two werewolves, whom he had just met, weren't as vicious as he had initially imagined. Although they had "kidnapped" Lily, in the end it was just that werewolves had a more blunt style. Other than that, after the two sides had resolved their hostility, he found that these two brothers were quite interesting.

However, Vivian was clearly unwilling to stay too close to the werewolves. The vampire girl stood on a nearby small earthen slope, keeping watch, with no interest in the two werewolves' conversation. However, Hao Ren could also roughly see that she didn't have any hostility towards the two werewolves either, just a simple estrangement.

"How did the demon hunters all gather here?" Kasa Ebon still couldn't figure out this question. "They rarely act in groups, but this time they've gathered a small team. Tsk tsk, I can't understand it."

"Could it be an ambush specifically for us?" Eun Ebon struggled to sit up. "Hiss—it's almost healed. Could it be that you exposed our whereabouts when you acted during the day?"

"Doesn't seem like it. These people should just be passing by," Kasa shook his head. "Judging from their equipment, they don't have holy water and holy objects specifically used to deal with vampires, which means they don't know there's a vampire in this city. If they were here to ambush us, they should have acted in the morning. At that time, with just the two of us plus this little girl, we wouldn't have been able to escape at all. And have you noticed that the weapons in their hands are all temporarily enchanted? So I guess this group of people was passing by, and just as they were passing by, we and the vampire started fighting, which attracted these plague gods over. The ambush was also set up in that short period of time. Demon hunters are very good at setting up traps without anyone knowing."

Hao Ren's knowledge of demon hunters was limited, so when he heard Kasa's analysis, he quickly pricked up his ears and listened carefully. He didn't expect that there were so many intricacies within the demon hunters. After listening, he felt that this was useful knowledge for the future—Heaven knows how to explain this: an official worker employed by a goddess had inexplicably become a member of the monster camp, and now had to find a way to fight with the human guardians... Hao Ren was sure that the Raven 12345 had known about this situation for a long time.

"You're definitely one of the smarter ones among the werewolves," Vivian's voice suddenly came from the side. It turned out that she had approached at some point. "The werewolves I remember rarely analyze situations like you do."

Kasa Ebon grinned: "Of course, I'm the wise man among the werewolves..."

Vivian made a sound of disapproval, thinking that the werewolf's intelligence probably stopped there.

"How long do you plan to rest for?" Vivian looked into the distance to confirm that the demon hunters weren't chasing after them. "If we continue to delay, there might be problems. Why don't we separate here? You guys find a way to report the situation here to your family. We have a trump card and a big boss behind us, so we're not afraid of demon hunters."

"That's right, there are benefits to acting separately," Kasa looked at his arm, which had recovered for the most part, and nodded in agreement. "Then let's part ways here. I'll convey the Countess's message to the elders of the clan."

Hao Ren also stood up. He touched his body and frowned slightly: "Why do I always feel like I've forgotten something?"

"Did you leave something in the warehouse?" Vivian stretched out her wings and patted Hao Ren on the shoulder. "It's not your wallet, is it?"

"You think everyone's like you," Hao Ren patted Vivian's wings down. "And even if I lost my wallet, I'd still have enough money to support you guys... I remember throwing something away back then..."

Hao Ren had just said half a sentence when he heard a sharp whistling sound coming from far to near: "You bastard threw me out!"

The data terminal was emitting blue light all over its body, spinning rapidly in the air like an out-of-control UFO, and smashing towards Hao Ren's forehead. Finally, with a loud "clang," it crashed into the rigid shield: "Is that how you use a PDA?! Where's the careful attitude you had in the first few days, when you were afraid of dropping and bumping me? Just because I'm sturdy, you really use me as a brick, huh?"

"What exactly is this thing..." Kasa and Eun were dumbfounded and exclaimed in unison. During the chaotic battle just now, they saw Hao Ren throw out a shiny and scary thing, but they didn't have time to see what it was. They also subconsciously regarded the data terminal as some kind of hidden weapon, just like the scarred woman. At this time, seeing that it could not only fly, jump, and talk, but also find its way back to its master from so far away, they were immediately shocked. Eun slapped his forehead: "Has human technology become so advanced? Is this the i-Phone sixty-six or the Xiaomi seventy-nine?"

Hao Ren awkwardly stuffed the data terminal into his pocket: "Hehe, this is my personal weapon, personal weapon... Stay in my pocket! Don't jump! Don't spin! Don't get hot! Don't put Dou E's injustice in my head!"

The two werewolves stared blankly at all of this. It was estimated that these two had never seen a weapon that could fight with its owner in their lives.

Just then, a muffled, honest voice suddenly came from not far away: "Hehe, so you guys are here. Is everyone okay?"

Hao Ren looked in the direction of the voice and was immediately overjoyed: that familiar tall figure, that familiar bald head, that familiar thug face that was enough for fifteen days of administrative detention just by walking on the street! It was Yizaks! Immediately, he knew that even if the demon hunters were to revive as a group with full health and jump out again, there was no need to worry—this guy could drag a meteorite from the Kuiper Belt and directly kill a city in seconds. Optimistically, the demon hunters combined were only enough for three sneezes from Yizaks...

Lily and Vivian stepped forward to greet Yizaks. The two werewolves looked at each other in surprise. Eun couldn't help but open his mouth: "This is... the trump card you mentioned? What kind of deity is he? I couldn't even sense his aura just now!"

Kasa: "Nonsense, that's because you've already been beaten into a daze by the demon hunters."

"Oh, I see."

"I think I know what's going on," Yizaks greeted Lily and the others, and came to Hao Ren with a simple (scary) smile. "I found your 'weapon.' You guys ran into demon hunters, right? The kind of guys standing over there?"

Yizaks raised his hand and pointed. Hao Ren followed his gaze and was immediately stunned: the demon hunter leader had appeared a hundred meters away at some point!
