Chapter 176 The Protagonist's Gamble

Long Tian's eyes widened in surprise, eliciting an immediate surge of anger from the woman.

"Who are you?" she yelled.

"Calm down, I'm a friend of Zhenyi," Long Tian quickly responded.

Upon hearing this, the woman turned to look at the bed, where Liu Zhenyi lay seemingly naked and covered in a blanket.

Observing Long Tian, she appeared to understand the situation. Disappointment marked her expression as she shook her head.

"I didn't expect Zhenyi to bring a man home," she expressed, disappointment evident in her tone.

Then, her gaze shifted to Long Tian. "And you, get the hell out!" she commanded coldly.

"Come on, I can explain everything to you," Long Tian responded. The chapters is up by N0vEI__bin

"No, I don't want to hear anything," the woman said coldly.

Long Tian could sense the gaze of anger and disappointment from the woman. He was also too lazy to convince her.

"Alright, alright, I'll leave," he conceded.

He then grabbed his shirt, put it on, and promptly exited the mansion, heading towards his car.

-----------

A sleek, luxurious car glided through the streets, its exhaust note emanating a commanding presence. Behind the wheel was Long Tian.

A transformation was apparent in him, from his eye pupils thinning to a shade of blue, yet still dominated by a crimson color. His once undercut hairstyle seemed to have grown slightly.

While navigating through traffic, Long Tian's thoughts gravitated towards Lin Fan. If he didn't accompany Liu Zhenyi home, the debt collectors would encounter Lin Fan.

This conviction strengthened his belief: Lin Fan is a new protagonist!

His musings were grounded in reason, evident by the timely arrival of the debt collectors.

Naturally, Long Tian understood that Lin Fan wouldn't easily resolve the debt issue. It followed a typical story plot where he would confront minor adversaries before ascending to face the ultimate challenge. The concept of faceslapping was too commonplace in novels.

"Well, I'm uncertain about the unique power he possesses. I hope he has a system so I can claim it," he remarked, a grin playing on his lips.

Being devoid of a system, he manages quite well independently. However, when confronted with a protagonist lacking system support, the challenge intensifies.

This is why he harbors a hope for encountering a protagonist equipped with a system.

With that, he pressed on the gas pedal, accelerating the car.

After more than 10 minutes had elapsed, Long Tian pulled up to his lavish villa. The vigilant guard swiftly swung open the gate, allowing him to smoothly drive his car into the premises.

"Now, while awaiting the results, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to venture into the forest and conjure some undead warriors," Long Tian declared, a grin gracing his face.

With purpose, he rose from the sofa and made his way directly to his car. The resonating sound of the exhaust indicated his departure from the villa area.

His destination: Tianzhou Forest.

-------------

The villa area and Tianzhou Forest were not too distantly separated, merely around 30 kilometers.

Long Tian now found himself in Fusu Village, the closest location suitable for parking his vehicle.

Paying a simple 100 Yuan for parking, he observed the hustle and bustle around him. Some patrons headed to local restaurants, enticed by Fusu Village's reputation for delectable dishes crafted from soul beast meat. Others arrived with the specific purpose of hunting soul beasts.

Without squandering any time, Long Tian proceeded straight into the forest. Noon had arrived, providing ample daylight before the impending night.

-----------

Guided by his wings of darkness, Long Tian gracefully soared above the expansive Tianzhou Forest, venturing towards its most secluded depths.

After a few minutes of flight, he opted to land, discovering himself within an area boasting taller and broader trees. The forest here wasn't densely packed, allowing for sufficient space between each tree.

Drawing Darkblade from its sheath, the blade seemed to yield willingly to his grasp. Both wielders of the natural element of darkness, they formed a harmonious duo.

Unhesitant, he sprinted towards a predetermined location. Judging by his expression and movements, it was evident he possessed prior knowledge of his destination.

A gentle breeze caressed his attire as he sprinted. After more than 5 minutes, he stood before the entrance of a cave.

"It must be this place," Long Tian muttered, a smirk playing on his lips.

His entrance into the cave wasn't arbitrary. Inherited from Lei Guang's memories, he was aware that the cave housed an immensely formidable creature. Lei Guang himself had intentions of coming here, as revealed by those memories.

Without further ado, Long Tian ventured into the cavern.

Upon entering, darkness enveloped him. His expression tightened, not due to the darkness but because he detected the unmistakable scent of fresh blood.

"Is there someone else here besides me?" he frowned.

Raising his finger, a blue flame ignited at the tip—a blue flame technique bestowed upon him by Feng Yuhao.

With that, he delved deeper into the cave.

The scent of blood intensified as he progressed, and at a particular juncture, he suddenly heard piercing screams.

Long Tian hastened towards the origin of the cacophony. After a brief interval, he reached the central part of the cavern, revealing a spacious expanse below.

His gaze fixated on five individuals engaged in combat with a humanoid figure possessing pallid skin and fangs protruding from its mouth.

Certainly aligning with Lei Guang's memories, this place was the abode of a vampire!

Rather than helping, Long Tian chose to observe the unfolding conflict between the five individuals and the vampire.

Of course, his role as a spectator was more than passive. His scrutiny focused on the vampire's movements, strength, agility, and endurance.
