Wait, How Did My Digital Girlfriend Become a Sword Immortal? Chapter 789: Vampire Clan

Chapter 789: Vampire Clan

...

Chen Niu moved quickly, immediately heading to the East Sea to investigate the situation.

Not investigating, he wouldn't have known. The moment he investigated, he immediately sensed a place in the center of the East Sea where a trench was gathering the energy of heaven and earth. This was one of the signs that a rare treasure was about to be born. He figured that the reason Hua Jin the True One was able to see through the secrets of heaven and calculate the location of the Celestial Jade Marrow eruption was probably by capturing this wisp of heaven and earth energy.

Saying it was simple, but actually doing it was very difficult.

The entire Earth Star was extremely vast. Even its main body could not completely cover it with Divine Sense. Enveloping one country was already the limit. Under such conditions of pushing Divine Sense to its extreme extension, it was impossible to perceive the flow of heaven and earth energy with absolute clarity.

Moreover, the anomaly at the center of the East Sea was so well hidden.

If he had to search for the eruption site of the Celestial Jade Marrow himself, he might be able to find it through a carpet search, but that would inevitably waste a lot of time.

"I wonder if the main body's Divine Ability combined with the Mountain-Moving Seal can relocate the eruption site of the Celestial Jade Marrow."

This small trench looked utterly ordinary, only attracting many schools of fish due to the pull of the heaven and earth energy.

Just as Chen Niu was about to try using his Divine Ability and the Mountain-Moving Seal, the sound of engines came from the sea area above his head.

— Ships were coming.

And there were quite a few of them.

"Not ships from the Hua region? Isn't this the territorial waters of the Hua region?" Chen Niu narrowed his eyes. On those ships, he saw flags of the European region and sensed an unusual aura on them. That aura was somewhat similar to that of monsters, yet it also carried a hint of a Demon Cultivator's flavor.

Chen Niu swept his Divine Sense over them, and the corner of his mouth twitched: "Vampires?!"

"European trash dare to come and covet the Celestial Jade Marrow?"

What surprised him was that the vampires could also clearly find the location of the Celestial Jade Marrow.

It was just that the other party didn't seem to have noticed him lurking below?

...

At the same time, on the ship.

Helberg III was staring intently at the sea surface.

He was a Vampire Count, sent by the Prince's command to the East Sea to search for a treasure. According to the map, it was right here.

"Turn on the military radar and scan!" He turned his head and ordered his subordinate.

Now, the military forces of the European region had completely fallen, allowing them to use all of the military's thermal weapons.

Currently, there were almost no normal humans left in the European region, leaving only two factions—the Human Church and the not-so-united monster faction.

The Blood Clan was a relatively powerful force within the monster faction. Besides them, there were also the rampaging demon forces and the equally powerful werewolf forces.

"Count, we have a reading!"

Hearing his subordinate's excited shout, Helberg immediately turned and went back into the cabin to check the radar.

On the military radar screen, a massive energy body was displayed deep within the trench. It was unclear what it was, but it was definitely related to the treasure the Prince wanted.

The completion of the Prince's mission was right before his eyes.

Helberg could almost see the opportunity for bloodline promotion. A look of wild joy appeared on his face.

"Found it! It's right here! Quick, deploy the submersible! No, have the blood thralls go directly into the water!

Get whatever is down there up here for me immediately!"

However, before his words finished—

*Whoosh!*

A mithril arrow entwined with holy light shot over like lightning from another warship to the side.

Helberg's sense of danger rose, and he dodged the arrow shot through the window in advance.

But another vampire wasn't so lucky. The arrow accurately pierced through his chest.

"Urgh—!"

That vampire only managed to let out half a scream before his body, like dry paper set ablaze, instantly turned into a cloud of flying ash, scattering in the sea breeze.

"Who is it?!" Helberg III's pupils constricted sharply as he whipped his head around to look.

On the deck of the warship next to him, which should have been under his subordinate's control, it had been cleared out at some point. The original vampire guards lay scattered on the ground, turned to ashes.

Three figures clad in gray cloaks, their faces hidden by hoods, stood there. One of them held a crossbow emitting a faint silver glow.

Demon Hunters?

The Church's lackeys.

How could they appear on his ship?!

Helberg carefully recalled what loopholes there might have been and quickly realized.

Not knowing how long they would be drifting at sea, and to avoid starving, they had prepared many "blood meals" imprisoned in the ship's hold in advance.

These three Demon Hunters must have mixed in with the blood meals and boarded the ship at that time.

These cockroach-like Demon Hunters, impossible to exterminate, were just that cunning and disgusting.

"Filthy blood-sucking vermin, crawl back to your dark coffins!" The lead Demon Hunter pulled back his hood, revealing a resolute and weathered face. He tightly gripped a silver longsword engraved with runes. "The treasure in the East Sea is not something you foul creatures should touch!"

Helberg III was so angry his fangs were exposed, his eyes flashing with bloody light: "Heh! You think just the three of you can stop the Prince's plan? Kill them!"

At his command, the Blood Clan members on the other warships immediately pounced.

Right at that moment—

*BOOM!!!*

The entire East Sea seemed to be violently stirred by an invisible giant hand.

Centered on that trench, the seawater within a radius of dozens of miles began to spin wildly without warning, forming a massive, bottomless whirlpool.

The sky suddenly darkened. Dark spatial cracks spread out like a spiderweb, emanating an aura of destruction and collapse from within the cracks.

A terrifying pressure came from the seabed, from beneath the warships.

Helberg, who had just been swaggering arrogantly, immediately froze in place, his blood seemingly frozen solid.

The three Demon Hunters preparing to face the Blood Clan's assault also turned pale, clutching their chests and struggling to breathe.

Under this terrifying pressure originating from a higher level of life and absolute power, not even a shred of thought to resist could arise.

Their vision went black, as if struck by an invisible heavy hammer. They instantly lost consciousness, collapsing limply to the ground.

In the last moment before they completely blacked out.

Beneath the churning, pitch-black sea surface, a terrifying shadow, huge like a flood dragon, impatiently flicked its long tail...

...

An unknown amount of time passed.

Helberg III struggled back to consciousness amidst intense headache and dizziness.

He shook his head, which felt like it was about to split open, and struggled to sit up.

However, the scene before his eyes made him widen them instantly.

The sea had disappeared...

He seemed to be on the mountainside of a large mountain now. The steel warships he had brought were now embedded at various bizarre angles in the cracked earth and scattered rocks like toys discarded by a child, some even broken in two.

What made his hair stand on end even more was—

Surrounding this bizarre area, four towering, sky-piercing black pagodas stood majestically.

The style of these giant pagodas was ancient, clearly not European architecture.

Their surfaces were carved with incomprehensible runes, emanating an aura that made one's soul tremble.

"This... what place is this?! What happened?!"

Helberg looked at everything around him, a chill shooting from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
