Chapter 030: Vampires
“Summoner?”
The scarred man’s expression changed when he saw Chen Xiao summon Sōhen. His body trembled suddenly, as if about to turn into a thin line and charge at Chen Xiao.
The aura emitted by Sōhen already filled the scarred man with fear—he couldn’t resist! That was his only thought.
Moreover, once the summoned warrior died, he would return to where he came from. So the scarred man’s first reaction was to kill Chen Xiao.
“Looking for death!”
Sōhen let out a deep roar and vanished from his spot in an instant, appearing right in front of the scarred man the next moment.
Bang!
Sōhen kicked him, sending the scarred man flying.
“Tch…”
Sōhen was about to speak but stopped when he noticed Chen Xiao’s uneasy expression.
“Are you okay?” Sōhen quickly changed his tone, adopting an icy expression, though his eyes still showed occasional signs of fervent admiration.
“I’m fine,” Chen Xiao waved his hand. His gaze was fixed on the scarred man, who had just been kicked away by Sōhen.
Sōhen was extremely powerful, and his kick carried no mercy—using his full strength. Chen Xiao could sense this.
The scarred man’s chest had been pierced by Sōhen’s kick, allowing one to see through to his back. But in that moment, the horrible wound began to heal rapidly—flesh and exposed internal organs writhed as the wound disappeared, replaced by smooth skin. It seemed as if nothing had happened, despite the destruction to the man’s clothes.
“What kind of monster is this?” Chen Xiao’s eyes widened. Such rapid recovery was truly astonishing.
“Vampires!” Lu Yan exclaimed. “In the world of supernatural abilities, only vampires possess such terrifying healing powers! How did these guys end up in the East?”
“Vampires? The legendary bloodsuckers?” Chen Xiao turned to ask. Vampires, or bloodsuckers, were merely a Western legend on Earth. Who would have thought such creatures actually existed in the world of supernatural abilities?
“Capture them alive—don’t let them escape!” Suddenly, Chen Xiao’s expression changed as he spoke to Sōhen.
Seeing the scarred man get a hole punched in his chest by Sōhen’s kick, the seven vampires realized they couldn’t deal with this summoned warrior. In an instant, they split into seven shadows and fled in different directions.
“Lowly creatures, trying to escape in front of me?”
Sōhen’s stern face showed disdain. Suddenly, his body split into seven as well, chasing after the vampires.
A few breaths later, Sōhen’s body reassembled before Chen Xiao, while the seven vampires fell to the ground, their powers sealed by Sōhen.
“Task… completed,” Sōhen said respectfully.
“Mm, good,” Chen Xiao nodded. “Lu Yan, are these vampires the legendary ones from Europe? You seemed quite surprised when you saw them.”
At this moment, Lu Yan and the three others were already deeply shocked. Seven vampires, and at least of the third rank, had been captured by this summoned powerhouse in just a few breaths. How powerful was this stern man, really? Moreover, they seemed to have underestimated this seemingly harmless youth, thinking he was just a second-rank top-tier sorcerer, only to discover he was actually a formidable summoner! No wonder he dared to travel alone in this dangerous world of supernatural abilities—just the powerhouse he summoned was enough to sweep through everything. It was not until they heard Chen Xiao’s question that they came back to their senses. “Vampires are a type of supernatural being in the West. The Western and Eastern worlds of supernatural abilities often fight each other over resources, leading to a confrontation between the two camps. Supernatural beings from the East and West rarely set foot in each other’s worlds.” Lu Feng’s expression turned serious. “The arrival of these guys must be part of some scheme. We must hand them over to the Supernaturalists Association,” Zhang Ting added. Chen Xiao raised his eyebrows, not expecting such a rule in the world of supernatural abilities. It seemed he would need to be more careful when traveling abroad in the future. “Shouhen, ask these guys what they’re here for,” Chen Xiao said. “They’ve already committed suicide,” Shouhen replied with a frown. The life source of vampires lies in the core on their chests; once that core is destroyed, the vampire dies. Now that these seven vampires had destroyed their cores, Shouhen couldn’t do anything about it, as his strength was greatly suppressed at the moment. “These guys committing suicide now clearly means they’re hiding something important. We must report this to the Supernaturalists Association!” Ren Tong, who was observant, spoke with a worried expression. “There’s no time to lose. Let’s go back now,” Lu Feng said, his face losing its playful tone and becoming extremely serious. This was a major issue concerning the Eastern world of supernatural abilities. “What about this Lvxin Grass?” Chen Xiao asked cautiously. “Dig it up before we leave,” the four replied in unison. … This time, the five of them rushed toward the Supernaturalists Association with all their might, while Shouhen followed leisurely behind, dealing with any potential threats as he went. Given the seriousness of the situation, they couldn’t afford to waste time on such matters. But by twelve o’clock, Chen Xiao promptly brought Shouhen back to the Main God Space. Time couldn’t be wasted like this, and Shouhen would take care of all the dangerous creatures between here and the Supernaturalists Association. By 2 a.m. Earth time, the five of them finally returned to the headquarters of the Supernaturalists Association. “Alright, take the bodies of these seven guys to the headquarters. I won’t go,” Chen Xiao said as they reached the edge of the association. “Brother Shang, you’ve contributed the most here. If we report this to the Supernaturalists Association, the reward will be generous. You…” Lu Yan began. “It’s nothing. I don’t like fame, and I don’t come here often. I also don’t want my normal life disturbed.” Chen Xiao naturally knew that if he showed up, Mo Changli would definitely recognize him, and his identity would be exposed. Then, a bunch of troubles would follow. Fame wasn’t something Chen Xiao wanted.
More importantly, he would likely face the vampires’ fierce revenge soon, and Chen Xiao, who had no foundation or background in the world of supernatural abilities, could not bear it.
What happened next had nothing to do with Chen Xiao anymore.
The four of them nodded in succession. In their eyes, Chen Xiao was undoubtedly an unparalleled master. A summoner’s strength was entirely determined by the creatures they could summon.
The strength of Suo Hen was obvious to all. If he wanted to become famous, would he remain unknown in this world of supernatural abilities?
Chen Xiao’s mental power directly connected to the teleportation array in the crystal card, and his body appeared in the secular world.
2 a.m.
The once domineering summoner was now sitting alone on the street, worried—where should I stay tonight?
