My Vampire System novel Chapter 570

Chapter 570 One Crow Down

Up high flying across the mountain, a little dot could be seen in the sky. If one had great vision, they would perhaps think it was a bat, but if they had even better vision, then they could see this creature was no bat. Instead, it was a flying bull.

"I promise I won’t disappoint you, master," Ham said, pumping his stubby fist and huffing his nose so steam could be seen coming out from his two large nostrils. "I will find that Emperor tier beast."

However, it didn’t take long for Ham to find them at all. On the new land, where the cliff connected with the mountain, he could see it all, four humans fighting against one beast.

"Everyone take out your soul weapons!" Blip shouted. "If you lose concentration, your life could be over."

Looking at the situation, Blip knew it was going to be a tough one. That was because the emperor tier beast in front of them, had a humanoid shape. It looked somewhat similar to a female, except above her head were flames of fire, and most of her body was cloaked in flames as well.

Emperor tier alone would have been hard, but a humanoid one was even worse. Beasts came in all shapes and sizes, but humanoid ones had a higher level of intelligence and were usually stronger.

On top of all that, it looked to be one that was in tune with the fire element, meaning it could do some serious damage. Blip was happy that he had chosen to take a small team with him, otherwise many would have died trying to face this thing.

"It’s charging in, get ready!"

Back below on the mountain floor, Kong had just received information that the king tier beast had been discovered. At least one of them. However, there was even more information that had come through on the receiver. Apparently, at the moment, it was sleeping on top of a pile of rubble, and it was alone.

"What would you like us to do?" The man asked Kong.

"Don’t attempt to do anything yet. Just wait until we find the other beast. If it starts to move or gets up, then fire the tracker." Kong ordered.

Linda approved of this, it was good to be cautious until they discovered the other king tier beast. Especially since it seemed like the two of them were a type of pair. There was a chance that if the other group had engaged and started a fight, that the other king tier beast would join up from behind.

However, this wasn’t the real reasoning behind Kong’s decision. Kong wanted his group to have contributed the most towards both kills of the king tier beasts. How was he meant to do that, if the others started fighting first?

He was scared that they would have already defeated the beast before he even got there. To put it simply, Kong wanted both of the king tier beasts for himself.

In the end, he had even sent one of his men to go ahead of them and join area two. The group finally decided to move to area four which was in the centre of all areas. This area was inside a cave with large tunnels on the outside.

It had four exits in total, allowing you to go to area, 1, 2, 3 and 5. But there was no need to, for when they entered they could see it. The Red king tier beast sleeping near the back area of the large cave. The cave was dark, but inside it was filled with the blue crystals which glistened and lit up the whole way.

As the beast breathed in and out, it looked as if the crystals surrounding it on the walls were reacting to it as well. With every inhale, the crystals would light up and dim with each exhale.

"Such power," Paul said. "So much that it’s even affecting the beast crystals around it."

Kong turned around as he was about to inform them of his plan, at the same time a bang was heard and a small triangle looking device came whizzing past his head.

He recognised it instantly, it was one of the tracker devices. When he looked at who had made the shot, it was someone from the group that consisted mainly of girls.

The beast’s eyes opened instantly from the noises, and when it saw something coming towards it, it leapt back, allowing the tracker to plunge into the cave wall.

"You idiot!" Kong shouted.

Everyone drew their weapons quickly, preparing for battle. Still, instead of charging towards them, the beast ran away towards area five.

"Look at what you did!" Kong shouted. "Now the beast has run away, and we can’t track it. What if it goes from area five back into area four?"

"I’m sorry." The girl said with her hands shaking holding the gun. ’When I saw the beast...I thought we needed to tag it straight away. That’s what we do in our advance beast hunts."

"Now you see Sam!" Kong shouted. "Now you see why I thought it was a bad idea, to let these amateurs handle the equipment."

The group hadn’t moved far from where they had entered from, and the beast was sleeping a good forty or so meters away. Even if the tracker came out fast from the gun, it was at such a great distance that it would have never hit.

The girl started to break down in tears from the pressure and fear, and Linda went to console her.

Seeing this, just angered Kong more. This was a beast hunt, people needed to be strong-headed; otherwise, why even sign up for the hunt in the first place.

Kong went over and grabbed her by the wrist, dragging her and then threw her towards the centre of the cave.

"What are you doing!" Linda shouted.

"Shut up, she needs to learn," Kong replied. "Go retrieve the tracker back. We can’t go wasting equipment. Then we’ll head back to area three and head around to area five. There’s no point we all waste our energy going over to the other side."
