Chapter 290 - Momentary Contact

Seeing how confused Tang Xia was, Ye Yifan hesitated for a moment and looked towards Katherine. Katherine nodded and turned to explain to Tang Xia. “She probably had her reasons for doing so.”

After which, she pulled Tang Xia to sit on a nearby stool. Tang Xia saw how contemplated they looked and wanted to know the answer even more.

“Alright, stop keeping the cat in the bag, tell me quickly! I’m still new to everything here.” Tang Xia grabbed onto Ye Yifan’s hand nervously and her face was very solemn.

Ye Yifan looked around and after ensuring that there was no one around, he pulled her closer and said softly, “Anyways, you have to know that Jiang Yu had picked a vampire elder, so she’s on a different team as us.”

“Right now, this castle is full of internal chaos. There are many pairs of eyes watching all of us, so we have to be mindful of what we say and do.

Tang Xia lowered her head and after thinking about it for a moment, she lifted her head and asked, “No wonder when War King saw that I seem like I know Jiang Yu, his face was very skeptical. So, it’s because of this.”

Katherine also looked nervous as she patted her shoulder to tell her to be careful.

“Yes, it may seem like nothing on the surface, but the vampire elders and us vampire newbies always have a grudge against each other. But you don’t have to worry too much about it.”

“As long as you don’t come into too much contact with them and don’t show them your special powers that are different from ours, they will probably not do anything to you.” Ye Yifan smiled lightly in an attempt to lighten up the heavy atmosphere.

Katherine added, “We’ll do everything we can to protect you and prevent your special abilities to be discovered. You must not outshine others. The higher the tree, the more the people waiting to bring it down. Do not forget this.”

Tang Xia understood. Suddenly, she thought of something. She looked up at Ye Yifan and asked in a confused tone, “By the way, is that drink you gave me something the vampire newbies made? Why do they do that?”

After pondering over it for a moment, Ye Yifan said slowly, “Right now, all the vampire newbies are humans-turned-vampires who have been bitten by vampires. Hence, they are wired to hate to drink human blood, which is why they created this.”

Tang Xia could not help but feel fortunate that someone created it.

At this moment, Ye Yifan seemed to have thought of something suddenly and continued, “By the way, I forgot to tell you the most important thing – why the vampire newbies and vampire elders have such a deep grudge against each other.”

Tang Xia was also curious about this. She waited for him to continue. His thin lips started to move slowly.

“It’s probably because of the two teams’ unique points. The vampire newbies do not want to drink blood and created their own drink. However, some vampire elders still cannot change the habits of their species that they were born with, they’re always catching humans.”

While saying so, he pointed to Tang Xia, Katherine and himself. He sighed helplessly and said, “We have become like this because we were captured by them.”

Tang Xia could not help but be pissed off. She slammed the table and got up. Thinking back about how she had struggled at home, she felt like she might as well have died. She scowled,

“We should really prevent things like this from happening again! And I’m also against drinking blood!” After making her declaration, she looked at the two with great determination.

“I support the vampire newbies team!”

Both of them nodded in agreement.

Just when the trio were in their heated discussion, Tang Xia suddenly heard a strange sound. She turned and looked at them in confusion. “Did you guys hear anything?”

Feeling strange, both of them also looked outside and nodded.

The trio quickly ran to the window and secretly lifted a tiny part of the curtain and looked outside.

They saw an army of humans not far away from them, all armed in complete armor. They were holding onto guns that they had never seen before and wearing clothes that seemed anti-explosives. They were even holding onto anti-explosive shields.

Tang Xia got such a great shock that she quickly crouched back and asked in shock, “What are these people doing? Is there a bomb here? Why are they here dressed to scare people?”

Ye Yifan and Katherine looked like they were used to it already. However, there was still a tint of seriousness in their brows.

Katherine turned to explain to Tang Xia, “This small group of people are human police. Not long after, a bunch of people will be here to test waters. However, every time they’re here, there would always be a war.”

Ye Yifan also shook his head and took two steps back. “This is the thing that I do not want to see the most.”

Tang Xia raised her brows and went up once again to take a look. Indeed, the human police were full of wary and prepared to spring into action. Meanwhile, the vampires also had their own defense team. It looked like a war was just about to start.

Tang Xia frowned and turned to look at the two who looked a little solemn. “We should get down quickly and assist them.”

Both of them hesitated for a moment and looked at their hands with no confidence. After all, they have only been here for a few days, so they were not familiar with their powers.

Looking at the undecided duo, Tang Xia pulled them down the stairs directly. At that moment when they stepped foot outside of the door, they heard the gun shots of a chaotic fight, as well as the vampires’ howling.

Tang Xia did not hesitate at all. She pulled along the both of them and ran to the back of the vampires’ base.

There were already a few vampires who were already hurt. Their faces showed that they were in great distress. Their flesh was turned inside out, and their skin was rotting due to long exposure under the sun. Tang Xia could not help but raised her brow in confusion.

She quickly went up to them to take a closer look and realized that their wounds were caused by something else. The wounds were definitely deep, and the healing process would be extremely slow.

Tang Xia was confused, and she turned around to look at Ye Yifan, “Look, why are their wounds like this! It doesn’t look like it’s a gunshot wound!”

Hearing this, Ye Yifan also walked over and after squatting down to take a closer look, watching how the vampire was whining in pain, he shook his head helplessly and said to her solemnly,

“After the humans discovered the vampires, in order to guard against them, they also made many new weapons for this.”

While saying so, she grabbed her hand and turned to look at the guns the police were holding and said slowly, “The guns they are holding onto now is their most successful weapon.”

“The bullets that come out of those guns are UV bullets. Once hit by those bullets, the vampires can turn into ashes…”

Tang Xia was dumbfounded. She stared at the weapons in disbelief. “They can now turn UV rays into bullets? They really went straight for their fatal point.”

While saying so, she looked at the injured vampire beside her. “They’ve become like this just by coming into close contact with bullets. They will really turn into ashes if they’re hit!”

Hearing this, Ye Yifan looked at her shocked side-profile rather seriously and muttered softly, “Meanwhile, you’re not afraid of the light. What can the bullets do to you?”

At this moment, Tang Xia was focusing on the war zone and did not hear him.

Seeing that many vampires have turned into ashes, Tang Xia could not help but to frown. She turned to look at Ye Yifan very solemnly.

“We should quickly head over there! Although I don’t want to fight against humans, I can’t let our team lose!”

Ye Yifan nodded. He was just about to call Katherine along when he suddenly paused. He realized that the spot beside him was long empty. He asked Tang Xia in a confused tone. “Where did Katherine go?”

Tang Xia looked around and her gaze landed on someone. She pointed.

Following her finger, he saw that Katherine had already joined the fight long ago. She had smashed some of the policemen’s guns into broken pieces.

Ye Yifan could not help but to sighed helplessly, “She’s really a born fighter.” Tang Xia smiled and pulled him along onto the war field.

Tang Xia dashed over right away and came behind a policeman at lightning speed and snatched his gun away. Before he realized what was going on, she had already broken it into two.

The police looked at her in shock. Tang Xia did not want to hurt him. She smiled at him gently and knocked him out. She then threw him to the police’s base.

She turned around and started to search for her second target. The surrounding police were all surprised to see that she did not kill him. At this moment, a bunch of police not far away came onto the war field carrying some even scarier-looking guns.

Tang Xia frowned and quickly stepped backwards. Many vampires were turned into dust by the lasers.

Tang Xia had a bad feeling about this. Just as she was about to turn around and look for someone to sneak an attack on, suddenly, Ye Yifan was helplessly facing a bunch of policemen who were pointing their guns at him. He was being surrounded.

Seeing that they were about to fire, Tang Xia quickly dashed towards him and pulled him out.

Both of them were in great disbelief, feeling fortunate that they had just escaped death. Turning around, they saw those policemen chasing after them with their guns.

In the blink of an eye, Tang Xia went up to them and snatched away from their guns and use them like a bat to hit the back of their necks.

Before they realized what was going on, they had already passed out. Before Tang Xia could catch a breath, Ye Yifan had once again got entangled in another fight.

Although a vampire is physically much stronger than a human, Ye Yifan was not familiar with his strengths at all.

And at this moment, Tang Xia noticed someone not far away, holding up his gun, ready to shoot him. Her eyes bulged open and she quickly dashed over and stood right in front of the gun.

The bullet was blocked off just like that. However, she did not notice that someone had just shot a bullet at Ye Yifan from a close distance.
