Chapter 578: The Ceasefire

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the tense atmosphere, both sides slowly put their weapons aside. Vivian and Ha.s.se also cleared magic power on them to show their sincerity. Hao Ren was the last one to keep his weapon, after confirming that they were really not going to fight.

"This is not cooperation," Ha.s.se dusted the frost from his wind coat and said, "This is just a temporary ceasefire. I don't want to start a fight with such an ancient vampire, especially when we are carrying out such a task."

"Same," Vivian smirked and said, "We can have a good fight on another occasion."

The battle just now might break out at any moment. In fact, if it were two groups of young people—such as the young demon hunters and the new generation of creatures—the battle would be absolutely unavoidable. However, only people like Vivian and Ha.s.se, who represented their respective camps, would have the possibility of a rational ceasefire. They had too many things to consider, and the battle had become a secondary issue.

After all, they were all intelligent creatures, and they could communicate with each other. The demon hunters could get along with the sirens because they found that this species was not threatening, so they chose to compromise.

Phew. I thought we are going to fight," White Flame said while winked at Hao Ren while n.o.body noticed it.

"Only animals can't control their instincts," said Vivian. For some reason, she became very sarcastic in this kind of situation. She laughed while looking at Ha.s.se and said, "Now that our problem is solved. Should we let the two sirens talk? They should know each other."

Shaqira breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you two sure you're not fighting?"

Having been confirmed by both parties, she immediately patted her chest and walked quickly to another siren. "So you guys living on the land are so troublesome, how many years have pa.s.sed and you still fighting and killing each other. I have to be cautious when I'm with you guys... Sorma, are you all right?"

The siren together with Ha.s.se was Sorma, apparently, she also experienced something similar to Shaqira, just they did not know how she got the help from demon hunters. Hao Ren found it incredible: Although the sirens and demon hunters did not have any enmity, due to their special ident.i.ties, both sides were in a state of tension. They were just going their own way without interfering with the other. However, just as Shaqira looked for a group of 'unusual creatures' to help her, Sorma also had her reasons for getting help from demon hunters.

The two sirens move aside to talk about their recent life and how did they meet the 'new friends', and Nangong Wuyue also join their exciting conversation. However, the other two groups of people were in an awkward situation. After they introduced themselves to each other, they have got nothing else to say. Teuton was a quiet man and White Flame was careful not to reveal her relations.h.i.+p with Hao Ren's team. Finally, Vivian broke the silence. "I never expect to see demon hunters helping sirens. Aren't sirens considered as unusual creatures?"

"They're harmless. After all, they have never built any kingdom on Earth, and they have no interference in the world," Ha.s.se said with a straight face, but it sounded more like an excuse, "Since they don't interfere in the outside world, they are not in the hunting list."

"You can frankly say that you can't deal with them. You haven't answered my question, why would you guys be so kind to help the sirens? You are not such a good man." asked Vivian.

Ha.s.sel's facial expression changed slightly. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded and said, "Yes. We aren't helping the siren purely out of kindness. Demon hunters don't really care about sirens' fate, but we are interested in the changes that happened in Nasaton. We saved Sorma a few days ago. What happened to her is something we should care about. Of course, I can't reveal the detail."

It seemed that Ha.s.se answered Vivian's question politely, however, Hao Ren realized that Ha.s.sel did not reveal any useful information at all. Of course, he did not expect a demon hunter who was wary of everything to be able to talk freely to them. "I don't care whether you go there for investigating or collecting evidence. Anyway, I hope you're not going to harm them. Sirens have lived peacefully on this planet for more than 10000 of years. Demon hunters can't attack their city because of some unwarranted accusations," said Hao Ren when Ha.s.sel finished talking.

"We're unable to kill sirens anyway," said Ha.s.se.

At the very least, he sounded very sincere.

And now Teuton suddenly glanced at Nangong Sanba and asked, "You are…"

Nangong Sanba had been keeping his head low, looking at the sands, trying to make himself unnoticeable. When he heard someone was asking about him, he quickly stood straight and said, "I am… err, I'm a wizard!"

Ha.s.se glanced at Nangong Sanba blankly and said, "You're a demon hunter, with a very weak hunter's blood, but you're indeed a demon hunter. Why are you with them?"

Probably he already sensed that Nangong Sanba was a demon hunter, but he waited until now to ask.

Nangong Sanba was so terrified that he could not stop sweating, but he still straightened his shoulders and answered, "Yes, my ancestor is indeed a demon hunter, but I can't control what I reincarnated into. You can kill me if you don't like it, but I reserve the power to make your face bleed…"

"Weak mental power, full of weak points, protective spells are flawed," Ha.s.se said, poker-faced, "More importantly, you have no manners, seems like n.o.body guide you. Don't you have a mentor?"

"Don't ask too much about his personal affairs," Vivian gave him the side-eye and said, "He just has the demon hunter's blood in him, but he has nothing to do with your decadent group."

Ha.s.se looked at Nangong Sanba for a moment without any expression, but apparently, he knew that it was not the right time to 'clean up the team', so he just slightly shook his head and said, "I hope you don't appear in my hunting ground in the future. You'll be considered as one of them."

Hao Ren was wondering how this man could be so firm and tough even when he was surrounded by Hao Ren's team. Sure enough, most of the demon hunters were as stubborn as a mule.

They stopped their conversation when the three sirens walked to them. Nangong Sanba was finally relieved when Ha.s.sel walked away. He turned and looked at Hao Ren and smiled awkwardly, "I knew I would have to face this one day, but I didn't expect myself to be so lucky."

"You'll still have to face this someday," Hao Ren said and patted Nangong Sanba on the shoulder, "From now on you can treat yourself as one of the unusual creatures."

Nangong Sanba forced a smile, shook his head and said, "Well. Anyway, I never take myself as a real demon hunter. I do this just to make ends meet."

Y'zaks watched this scene with his arms crossed, leaving only one word, "Meaningless."

"We had a slight delay, but it doesn't affect us," Shaqira said to Hao Ren while looking at the ebb tide, and then turned to look at the group of people, "We have more people joining us this time... It's going to be a lively trip."

The next second, a water curtain rose in front of them, and the three sirens had transformed into glamorous sea snakes. The three beautiful girls were wriggled to the seaside, raising their hands and starting to summon the ancient forces in the ocean.

Layers of waves rushed to the beach, and then quickly calmed down and smooth like a mirror, and then a sunken, surging strange road appeared in front of them. Just as Moses separated the Red Sea, the ocean rose on both sides of the road and divided into two. Nangong Wuyue first jumped into the sea, and then beckoned the others to follow.

Lily happily stepped on the bubbles and jumped back and forth two times. "Siren's magic is so interesting no matter how many times I've seen it!"

Rollie was still hesitating on the beach. As a cat, she was afraid of water, and as a cat who could think like a human… she was even more afraid that the water on both sides would suddenly collapse!

"Meow…" Her voice was trembling. She looked at Hao Ren, asking for help. Hao Ren then picked up her belt, holding the silly cat and striding into the sea.

Both sides of the sea slowly closed together, and Rollie's sorrowful meow disappeared in the depths of the water.
