Ye Xuan finally gets used to Lou Yaoyao's teasing, while Lou Xinyu begins closed-door cultivation. Ye Xuan studies a Body Technique Fragment, and Lou Yaoyao falls asleep on his shoulder. They then fly to Volos, a city near the mysterious Balkan Peninsula, the supposed home of vampires. Upon arrival, Lou Yaoyao's playful remarks cause Ye Xuan embarrassment.

"The Vampire tribe has been passed down for thousands of years, or even longer, as a powerful race. Their characteristic is mysterious and eerie. Even the Hidden Dragon only knows that Volos is the closest city to their location on the Balkan Peninsula."

Lou Yaoyao furrowed her brows slightly, saying somewhat distressedly, "And that so-called Balkan Peninsula is located somewhere between the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea. I only know the Black Sea, but I have no idea about the Adriatic Sea. If you ask me how to get there... to be honest, I don’t know either."

Ye Xuan: "..."

Obviously, this is not good news.

Although the exact location of the Balkan Peninsula is between the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea, Volos itself is an island city surrounded by ocean. Who knows which direction the Black Sea is?

Even if we know where the Black Sea is, seeing Lou Yaoyao wandering around like a headless fly, finding the Balkan Peninsula is likely to be challenging!

Ye Xuan felt a headache coming.

Lou Yaoyao then said, "However, if we can find the Adriatic Sea, then I have a way to locate the Balkan Peninsula."

Ye Xuan’s eyebrows moved slightly, then without saying anything, he walked directly toward the airport exit.

Lou Yaoyao hastily followed, "Where are you going?"

"Where else? We’re going to ask the locals for directions!" Ye Xuan replied, smirking.

"That’s useless!" Lou Yaoyao retorted, "The Vampire tribe is equivalent to the Hidden Dragon of Yan Country in the Ounan region. How could you possibly find them by asking ordinary people?"

Ye Xuan was speechless, "Who said I want to find them directly? Didn’t you just say that once we find the Adriatic Sea, you can locate the Balkan Peninsula?"

"That’s what I said." Lou Yaoyao replied, "But before I came, I checked, and the world map doesn’t have the Adriatic Sea. It’s likely an alias for some ocean, and asking locals would still lead to nothing."

Ye Xuan was about to explain when a taxi stopped on the road not far away.

"Let’s get in the car."

Ye Xuan directly pulled Lou Yaoyao into the taxi.

The driver was a chubby local Southern Federation man, about forty to fifty years old, a typical local slick.

Seeing Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao get in, the driver paused, seemingly stunned by Lou Yaoyao’s beauty.

He quickly recovered and asked in international Federation language, "The two of you are from Yan Country, right? Where would you like to go?"

"To the Black Sea." Ye Xuan replied in Federation language.

"The Black Sea?" The driver was stunned, then laughed, "Sir, are you joking with me? This is Volos, you can’t go to the Black Sea from here!"

"I know." Ye Xuan said, "What I mean is, take us to the dock that leads to the Black Sea direction. We’ll take a ship from there."

The logic is simple.

Since the Balkan Peninsula is between the Adriatic Sea and the Black Sea, and Volos, as the closest city to the Balkan Peninsula, is not a Black Sea coastal city, it must be an Adriatic Sea coastal city.

Adriatic Sea apparently is a name unfamiliar to locals, so Ye Xuan couldn’t be bothered to ask, and directly spoke about the dock leading to the Black Sea, which would definitely work.

Who knew...

"Oh! Sir, you must be mistaken!" The driver said, "We don’t have any dock that leads to the Black Sea from Volos, nor any ship that goes in that direction. I’ve been driving a taxi in this city for over twenty years, and it’s the first time I’ve heard someone wants to go from Volos to the Black Sea!"

Ye Xuan was taken aback, lines of frustration forming on his face.

How could this be?

Could it be that Lou Yaoyao’s information is inaccurate?

Ye Xuan couldn’t help but look at Lou Yaoyao.

Lou Yaoyao was full of confidence, saying, "The Vampire tribe’s location information is not a secret within the Hidden Dragon, and based on our information, the presence of vampires is frequent in the city of Volos recently, so it must be correct."

Ye Xuan nodded, turned his gaze a couple of times, and then said, "Well then, driver, just take us to the beach facing the direction of the Black Sea. Surely Volos has such a place, right?"

"What?" Hearing this, the driver’s face turned, "You... You are talking about that Hell Beach?"

"Hell Beach?" Ye Xuan was taken aback, "What’s Hell Beach!"

"That’s the beach you mentioned facing the Black Sea direction!" The driver said, face pale and quite terrified, "I’ve never been there; no one in Volos dares to go there because of the rumor that there are vampires around that deserted beach!!"

"Vampires around?" Ye Xuan’s sword eyebrows raised with delight.

It must be the Hell Beach!

"Yes, vampires!"

The driver said, with full trepidation, "People living in Volos all know that the Hell Beach has a prime geographical location. If it could be developed into a port, it could advance the economy of Volos by thirty years. But no one dares to do that.

Because many years ago, someone tried to do that, but the workers constructing the port there all died mysteriously!

Their deaths were peculiar, with no visible wounds on their bodies, only two tooth marks left on their necks, as if they were punctured by steel needles. All their faces had expressions of extreme fear as if they had seen a demon before dying!

The exact cause remains unclear, but since the incident, no one has dared to go to Hell Beach, and various rumors have circulated among the people, with some saying it’s a dwelling place of deities that must not be desecrated by mortals.

But more people think it’s the work of vampires because the way those people died matches the legendary vampire killings!"

Having recounted this hair-raising tale, the driver took a deep breath, fine sweat dotting his forehead.

The horrifying nature of the incident has left a significant psychological shadow on the locals.

But Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao, upon hearing this tale, were not at all exaggerated.

This must be a true story.

Because the Balkan Peninsula lies between the Black Sea and the Adriatic Sea, if humans were to build a port on the Hell Beach, their sea transport activities would inevitably reveal the vampires’ hiding place, which is something vampires would not allow.

Hence, that beach became Hell Beach!

Lou Yaoyao immediately looked at Ye Xuan admiringly, "As long as we go to the Hell Beach he mentioned, I can find the Balkan Peninsula... You’re amazing, you’re incredibly smart!"

Lou Yaoyao was indeed surprised; Ye Xuan had swiftly found a lead to the Vampire tribe using such methods.

But Ye Xuan was indifferent to this basic survival maneuver. He quickly looked at the driver and said, "Driver, that’s exactly the place we want to go. Please take us there now!"
