The Girl Who Reincarnated as a Vampire Heiress

Chapter 289

No one could quite explain how things had developed to this point.

All they knew was that as soon as Chloe gave the order, everyone was sprinting at top speed.

Behind them were the relentlessly pursuing, ugly transparent monsters.

Daniel glanced back in the midst of the chaos and immediately felt his skin crawl:

"What on earth are these things?!"

Earlier, from a distance, he couldn't see clearly, but now that the creatures had caught up and were closer, Daniel finally saw their terrifying appearance.

It was the stuff of nightmares.

His whole body trembled with fear, and his legs pumped even faster.

Later, finding his human form too slow, he transformed back into his giant wolf form, tossed Qin Huaibei onto his back, and shot forward like an arrow.

This time they were much faster, at least putting some distance between them and the monsters.

Qin Huaibei glanced at his terminal, realizing he was still connected to Chloe, and immediately shouted:

"Come here and pick me up! Quick!"

Chloe's gaze didn't even flicker towards Qin Huaibei, instead fixed unblinkingly on the monsters trailing far behind him.

She had just frantically reviewed numerous documents and urgently contacted Ren Yunying.

In the end, there were no records of such monsters.

It was as if they had appeared out of thin air.

This phenomenon had actually shown signs before.

For example, the fantasy species and the tentacled monsters.

Chloe had learned to attribute these unknown creatures that seemed to pop up from nowhere to the Brut Military Academy and Viper Group.

Only those two fools would be bored enough to research such unknown species.

The transparent monsters appearing in the Forest of Life were likely their handiwork as well.

As for this abandoned camp...

Chloe glanced at the ferocious transparent monsters on the light screen, and a sudden thought struck her—

Could it be that even the Viper Group couldn't fully control these monsters?

There was an error during the targeted deployment, causing the entire camp to be overrun.

Thinking of this, Chloe was momentarily stunned.

No, that's not right.

The location marked on the sand table was far from here; even if the transparent monsters wanted to threaten, they couldn't reach this place.

Unless the monsters had also leaked within this camp area.

As this thought occurred to her, Chloe's pupils constricted.

At the same time, a "crack" of a breaking branch sounded behind her. Chloe whirled around, instinctively drawing the dagger from her waist.

Because of her speed, when the dagger plunged into the monster's body, Chloe herself hadn't had time to dodge.

Her face and hair were covered in the monster's pale blue blood.

She wiped her face in disgust, while twisting the dagger to deepen the wound, then violently yanked it out.

Simultaneously, Chloe took a few steps back, drew a large sword from her spatial ring, and in one fluid motion, severed the monster's head!

With the body and head separated, Chloe breathed heavily, taking a good while to catch her breath before straightening up to carefully observe the monster that had fallen into her hands.

Sharp claws and fangs, an ugly face, pale blue blood evaporating in the air, emitting a peculiar fragrance.

The face was so hideous that Chloe felt nauseous after just a brief observation.

She looked away, taking out a tissue to clean her face, but didn't lower the large sword in her hand.

The fact that the entire camp had been emptied indicated that the number of monsters here was substantial.

She couldn't let her guard down.

With this in mind, Chloe extended her perception outward.

She hadn't spread it very far when she noticed something was off.

—The transparent monster at her feet, the one she had just beheaded, couldn't be detected by Chloe's perception!

When Chloe closed her eyes, her mental consciousness couldn't even simulate the form of the decapitated monster.

At her feet, there was nothing.

But when Chloe opened her eyes and looked with her naked eye, the dead monster was undeniably there.

In that instant, cold sweat dripped from Chloe's temple to the ground.

These monsters had a special constitution that wasn't affected by vampire perception.

In other words, they were specifically created to counter vampires.

No wonder Chloe hadn't detected these monsters earlier when she had used her perception to cover the entire Forest of Life.

But at the same time, this also meant that no matter how many of these monsters were hiding in this camp, they couldn't be discovered by Chloe's perception.

It was as if she was the only one in this vast open space.

She had to face these terrifying monsters alone.

Chloe: "..."

She swallowed hard, turned to the light screen, and said seriously:

"My dear, your captain needs help more than you do."

"Wish me luck."

The members of The No.1 Military Academy, still running for their lives: "???"

Daniel: "What's happening on your end?"

"It's nothing major, just letting you know that if you arrive a bit later, I might be dead by then."

Qin Huaibei frowned: "You have those creepy things over there too?"

Keeping the light screen open was distracting, so Chloe briefly explained and told them to hurry over before disconnecting all communications.

Right now, Chloe needed to focus on her own safety.

No wonder this place was eerily quiet.

With these monsters around, who needs birds?

Chloe sighed, leaning on her large sword as she stood by the bonfire.

After standing for a while, she became disgusted by the ugly dead transparent monster on the ground and kicked it into the fire pit to burn.

The peculiar fragrance instantly intensified, making Chloe's nose ache.

She cursed her bad luck, wishing she had something to cover up the monster's putrid stench.

Yes, the noble young lady believed it to be the unpleasant stench of the transparent monster's corpse.

After all this, Chloe remained on high alert, her eyes taking turns standing guard, fearing that another monster might suddenly appear from somewhere.

Her concerns proved to be justified.

Because in the next second after this thought, a transparent monster suddenly appeared from somewhere on her right side.

Chloe, quick-eyed and quick-handed, immediately sliced the creature with her large sword.

The frightening thing was that even when sliced, the monster wouldn't die. It lost a piece of flesh but still jumped around lively, like a living corpse.

Chloe was utterly disgusted and simply decided to behead it like before.

After decapitation, the monster stopped moving.

Not so tough after all.

It seemed the weak point of these monsters was their head.

Once the head was cut off, they could no longer move and completely lost their vitality.

Their only special feature was their ability to avoid being detected by perception.

If that's all they had, it seemed rather pathetic.

Just as she was thinking this, a sudden chorus of chaotic, fragmentary cries came from not far away.

Chloe looked up and saw numerous monsters suddenly emerging from the bushes.

There were so many she couldn't count them all at once. At that moment, all Chloe could think was:

"So many monsters."

In the next instant, Chloe hefted her large sword and immediately launched into attack!

The sharp blade aimed directly for the monsters' heads.

One slash per monster, like cutting vegetables, simple enough.

But the problem was, there weren't just a few monsters here.

They were everywhere, covering the sky and the earth.
