Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 304 : Arrived

"We all did what we needed to do," Felix said with a sigh.

After the Edward incident, the group didn't say anything, but this doesn't mean they stayed silent. Each of them had their own way to cope and try to help.

Some helped on the frontline, while people like Heimdall did the most risky things. He kept diving from dungeon to dungeon, going deep into the red zone. He even once went to the dark zone and survived.

With his changed appearance, Heimdall started moving toward the gate.

He then hid in one of the trees, his eyes watching the gate like a hawk.

"Felix, I trust my back to you."

"Don't worry. Why do you think I decided to tag along with a suicidal bastard like you?"

"Hah, you call me that, but almost every time, you take the most dangerous roles for us. Just like this, your life is more at risk than mine."

Heimdall could blink himself away, but Felix could not. He could only jump from shadow to shadow.

"You think too much about it, Heimdall. I am just doing what I need to do. And since when do you care about that?"

"Never mind," Heimdall replied with a smirk. Despite Felix never saying it, he knew how Felix felt about all of them.

They are the closest thing to the family he has.

Time passed, and one of the Dragari started coming out. There were four people in total, each of them fully geared.

Seeing the view, Heimdall's eyes frowned. He didn't feel happy at all. Of the four people, there was only one Dragari.

The other three were humans with collars. They walked like dogs, with some luggage put on their backs.

Looking at their expressions and movements, Heimdall could tell these three men were already used to being treated like this.

"Just what happened to the city after that incident?" Heimdall mumbled.

This is not the first city of another species he has seen, but it's the first that treats humans like animals.

All the Dragari were tall, averaging 1.5 times the height of an adult human. They had reptilian faces with skin covered in scales.

Their appearance made them look almost like lizardmen. The only difference is they have draconic horns on their heads.

When they saw the city from afar, they could also see some of the wyverns flying around the sky.

"What do you plan now? Trying to trick him into bringing you inside?"

"Trick him? Are you kidding me? We should have some lizard for dinner tonight. As for those three men, I doubt we can trust them."

Felix is calmer than Heimdall. He has seen humans treat other humans like that, so seeing this doesn't surprise him at all.

"So you want to kill him?"

"Yes, we just need to make sure these three humans don't realize what is happening. I couldn't believe people with a gaze like them."

"Don't worry. They are broken; they've lost the ability to make their own thoughts."

"That is why I don't believe them. Who knows if they will rat us out to other Dragari."

"How about the Dragari family then?"

"We can just interrogate those men. Since they don't think they won't find anything suspicious. I do wonder what happened to make them reach that point."

"Based on my experience, a mix of drugs and constant degradation."

"No need to get into the details. I get what you mean."

Meanwhile, Alex, MingYue, and the others had just reached the red zone. They all teleported to a familiar area.

"This place has not changed. What a surprise," Quartz said as he looked at the treehouse.

"What do you expect? We put so many precautions into building this. It may look like a normal treehouse, but there are many things put inside."

"Well, It's not like any monster has a reason to attack that. So where is our location now?" Alex asked.

He then pressed some buttons on his bracelet, projecting a holographic map.

A line started appearing, showing their planned destination.

Olivia studied it one more time, then pointed in a direction, "We should go to that area."

"Alright, I will recon forward," Zold replied as he disappeared from where he stood.

The group then started moving, following him.

"There are a lot of monsters here," MingYue commented as he felt their presence.

"Of course, this is the frontline. There is also a possibility we could get ambushed on the way."

"It's alright. Better than us exposing our presence. We will deter the monsters but pull a stronger enemy toward us," Alex commented.

"I don't know how monsters are in your world, but I know some that will instead go after the strong ones despite being weaker.

They want to show off their strength and bet their lives to become stronger," Alicia commented.

"What a unique culture. No wonder your forest has some monsters called the king. Do they evolve through this kind of deadly combat?"

"Yes, how else do you think they appeared? It's a unique trait of the beasts in my world. Although the evolution doesn't come easy."

"Interesting. Maybe I will dissect the ape king in my hand to find out how they do this."

"I doubt it's anything unique. It's just like spirit beasts; those that win eat the losers. At the same time, they eat part of their energy. They become stronger," MingYue commented.

"That is different, MingYue. In your world, the monsters cultivate, allowing them to consume qi and evolve themselves. But these monsters don't have any cultivation method like that.

It's like their cells just innately capture the victim's energy and try to evolve.

From history, I know this is possible, but the kings of the forest evolved throughout their lifetime, meaning they have a way to take the opponent's attributes."

"If this were Thalia's world, I would think it's because of the gluttony effect, but since it's her world, I don't know."

"Wait, now that you mention gluttony, I remember Fledian also has traits consumed by one of the deadly sins.

Maybe what you say is right. The remaining energy affects the world in one way or another, making the creatures evolve."
