The moment Vivian finished her words, everyone immediately raised their guard. The Mobile Data Terminal quickly displayed the spatial waves it sensed in front of Hao Ren. Hao Ren then took his silver lance and gun out of his dimensional pocket and aimed at the open s.p.a.ce in front of them.

Above the open s.p.a.ce, the air suddenly twisted and then quickly turned into a s.h.i.+ny oval mirror. Four people strode out from there.

The leader was a strict-looking man with gray hair and wearing an eyepatch on one eye. Beside him stood a dark-skinned man with bald head, who looked slightly like an Indian. And behind the two were two women. One of them was a tall woman dressed in a simple dress, with brown long hair, and there was a layer of faint green scales on her cheeks that was slowly fading away, while the other woman kept a very conspicuous silvery-white long hair, who was someone they met before—White Flame!

Except for the woman wearing a dress, the other three were dressed in the standard attire of demon hunters: a long black trench coat, a strap on the waist, and a big crossbow on the back. This was obviously a demon-hunter squad.

The three demon hunters were surprised to find that there were already people on the beach. The one-eyed man and the bald man immediately raised the crossbow, preparing to attack. But when they saw the disparity in the number of people between them and Hao Ren's team, they did not act blindly but stopped moving with the crossbows in their hand. White Flame was a little surprised after recognized them, her straight face slightly twitched, but she soon calmed down, maintaining the vigilant posture while signaling Hao Ren with her eyes not to greet her rashly. Although she reported to her mentor about the hunting of vengeful spirits after returning from Andrei Castle, she did not tell them about the 'Countess of the Crimson Moon'. It was better not to show that they knew each other.

It also proved that White Flame had kept her promise and did not reveal too much to the other demon hunters.

Hao Ren also got it. Vivian immediately threw a bat at Lily's face to stop her from talking: this stupid girl was about to jump excitedly and say h.e.l.lo to White Flame.

The most stressful person on the scene was Nangong Sanba. This amateur demon hunter pretended to be a professional in the circle of demon hunters was caught red-handed by the real demon hunters. He broke out in a cold sweat and knew that his life of being a demon hunter was ended. From now on, he was going to need two copies of his will when he went out...

Rollie was looking at the sea on the rocky beach. When she saw what was happening in front of her and the reaction of her master(s), she immediately sensed the murderous vibe in the air. She lay down, her tail stood up like an iron rod, the fur on her ears and tail puffed up, and shrieked, "Meow—"

The first battle roar of Hao Ren's team was actually coming from a cat.

"It's a surprise," said the one-eyed man with a watchful face, and even if the situation was unfavorable, he was unafraid and spoke firmly and loudly. "I didn't expect to meet a group of prey here."

"Are you sure you're the hunting ones?" Vivian was surrounded by a large swarm of bats with lightning in the swarm of bats. Cold winds gusted and dispersed around that even the distant waves directly turned into large snowflakes when they hit the reef. "What the h.e.l.l are you doing here?" asked Vivian.

Rollie was s.h.i.+vering with cold but she still arched her back, ready to fight. "Meow… Meowoooooo…"

A layer of s.h.i.+eld-like glowing light rose up around the one-eyed man to protect him from the chilling wind. However, when he saw Vivian, he stunned for a moment. He broke out in a cold sweat and asked, "The lady standing over there… the Countess… Your Excellency?"

Lily was surprised. "Why is he so polite all of a sudden?"

Vivian frowned, trying to recall whether she met this one-eyed man before. Finally, she remembered that he was the most famous one-eyed man among the demon hunters. "Young men are certainly won't be so polite to me, only the older ones will—because they still remember seniority, right Ha.s.se. Boy, what the h.e.l.l are you doing here?"

Hao Ren looked astonished. "This is the one-eyed Ha.s.se?"

One-eyed Ha.s.se, the famous elder among the Demon Hunters, the old man who existed since the mythological age, was one of the leaders who destroyed Mount Olympus. It was said that this man nearly killed Hesperides. The arrowhead had been stuck in her head for thousands of years.

A man who sounded like a big shot—but was still just a 'boy' in Vivian's eyes. Vivian also knew that her own seniority was a powerful weapon at the moment, so she tried to get the upper hand with her seniority.

The lady did not care about her age at the moment.

Ha.s.sel's expression quickly turned odd, which was not awkward, but worried. He did not expect that it would be so unlucky today. He took a short-cut to directly teleport here but ended up falling into the siege, and the worst thing was that there was a world-famous Countess of the Crimson Moon in the siege. Even someone like Ha.s.se had to bow to Vivian respectfully before the fight. How unlucky!

Vivian was right. The older the demon hunter, the more they valued the issue of seniority, especially the old man from the mythological age. This trait was beyond the grasp of the impetuous young demon hunters.

The man stood beside Ha.s.se slightly moved forward half a step. The front end of the hand-crossbow on his hand was flas.h.i.+ng with silver lights. He saluted Vivian and said, "Your Excellency, I'm Teuton, a master-level demon hunter. I am willing to accept your challenge."

"The demon hunters nowadays are all such ignorant young people? Are you qualified to 'accept' my challenge? As a junior, you told me that you 'Accept the challenge'?!" Vivian said. Her tone was cold and fierce.

Teuton paused for a moment. Ha.s.sel immediately let him step back and said, "Don't act without my consent."

Vivian slightly nodded and said, "Good."

Lily had never seen Vivian so fierce and powerful. She immediately pulled Hao Ren's clothes and whispered, "why do battie suddenly so pretentious?"

Vivian maintained the fierce posture while whispering to the back, "I'm just bluffing, trying to scare them—I can't beat them now!"

Hao Ren was speechless. In her current state, she could not beat them…

But it's okay. The three demon hunters were no match for them, but Vivian thought that the best thing to do now was avoiding the fight. Unless it was really necessary, she would not want to come into conflict with Ha.s.se, because the battle between the 'Countess of the Crimson Moon' and the elder of the demon hunter was easy to be interpreted as a declaration of war, and it was going to be a real trouble.

When one's reputation reached a certain level, it was hard for the person to represent her alone.

Ha.s.se apparently also thought of that. He slightly lowered his crossbow, signaling that he did not really want to fight, then frowned and asked, "I wonder why you're here, Your Excellency?"

"Is that a siren next to you?" Vivian looked at the only girl in the four who was not dressed as a demon hunter and had just revealed some features of the siren.

Ha.s.se nodded slightly and answered, "Yes."

"You also want to go to Nasaton?" Lily asked directly.

"Are you going too? Why are you going there?" asked White Flame in surprise while lowered her crossbow.

"For the investigation," Hao Ren cautiously replied while turning off the beam at the tip of the silvery lance, "We suspect that Nasaton is contaminated by some kind of exogenous creature. What about you guys? In theory, demon hunters are not hunting for sirens, so are you going to investigate or help?"

"If what you say is true, then we have the same purpose," said Ha.s.se, "but I don't quite believe…"

"You should know that I'm different. I don't like to fight," Vivian suddenly raised her voice to interrupt Ha.s.se, "and so are they. So we may not need to fight today. I have a suggestion, how about we put down our weapons?"

Teuton was a little surprised. He slightly tilted his head and looked at Ha.s.se, who nodded after pondering and said, "Acceptable. But there is a prerequisite: if any of you have any unusual move in the process of approaching Nasaton, the battle will begin."

"Same goes for you," Vivian smiled and said, "and I'm sure the hunter won't be you."
