Blood Contract, Chapter 114: A Forest God, the Dwarf and Zero

Zero woke up in a tall tree with thick branches and lush foliage, which Zero wraps up nicely hidden. So good that after a single day, he wasn't even exposed to the pervasive sunlight.


Another night, and perhaps after this day, the Camarilla has fallen apart. But the Forbidden Forest is still peaceful. Calm enough to make Zero almost forget its horror. It wasn't until a fist-length snake suddenly leapt into the branches to bite him that he awoke - this was a dangerous forest.



The viper's killing power Zero didn't ignore at all, and a moment after a hand choked the snake's head, Zero's fangs sunk into the snake's body, sucking the blood. The blood of cold-blooded animals doesn't make Zero blood boil like the blood of other animals. But the sweet and tasty blood has temporarily solved Zero's "early morning hypoglycemia" situation.

Taking a breath of living blood, Zero tossed the dead snake casually out of the dense foliage. It was a venomous snake with greenish green and bright colors, and its toxicity must not be weak. . Zero waited for the venom to take effect.



The original vampirism in him, the toxin itself in his body made him completely immune to the general poison. When now his blood venomous undead creature, he wondered if it would be immune to the venom.

Zero didn't feel a frown as he waited. I wonder if he's too impulsive, in case the toxin takes effect, even though it won't kill him, it's still uncomfortable.

After another wait, Zero didn't notice anything unusual. Maybe there wasn't enough toxin, or maybe it didn't work for him, but he couldn't be reassured like that either.



Zero jumped from the tree, as light as the ground, and it was amazing to be a vampire.

the vampire's perception allowed Zero to sense movement in the grass and clearly distinguish what creature it was as if it were right in front of him.



A wild boar? But smaller in size, with a silver horn on its nose and a beast tattoo on its body, not a creature you could see on Earth, Zero quickly leaned forward and turned into a sharp clawed hand that easily killed it.

Then Zero lit a campfire and ate a roast pig. While blood flowing down your throat is certainly delicious, Zero likes to eat solid food properly. Maybe he has food paranoia.



Maybe it was the scent of food, maybe it was the firelight that drew the other creatures.

Zero grilled recklessly to light the campfire. Fire is a deadly temptation in a dark forest, attracting "moths" to the fire, or fierce beasts to it.

But Zero was somewhat surprised when the flames drew an acquaintance.



The diminutive figure ducked into the grass, whisked over a few steps, and ran away again, shy as it had been when they first met.

Zero, who had his back to the dwarf but could "see" his movements clearly, tickled the corners of his mouth with some amusement and looked at the dwarf who was shaking like a sieve.



After a while, the dwarf darted closer again, his footsteps light but his movements silly. The dwarf held a thin wooden stick in his hand, with a pointed stone tied to the stick. The green, ghostly stone tips could be seen to be tainted with poison.

The dwarf stumbled awkwardly closer to Zero, only to not notice that he stumbled with a knot in his foot. The fall nearly sent him crashing into his own weapon - a poisoned rock.




The dwarf also knotted up in shock and let out a cry of surprise.



Zero frowned and cursed "Stupid".

The dwarf suppressed his shout and hurriedly looked up to see where Zero was, then to his surprise, Zero's figure flashed and disappeared before the campfire...

"Ah..."

"Shut up!" Zero frowned at the call, the dwarf's sound wave was enough to kill a hundred bats!

"Uh...ahhhhhh..." the dwarf paused, but screamed even louder!



Zero leaned down and whispered coldly in the dwarf's ear, "One more cry! Just slit your throat!"

Only then did the latter hastily retract his voice.

"Tell me, what's the way to the cave where the Forest Protector God is?" Zero's voice came with the night wind, icy cold, and sending chills down the dwarf's spine.



Then the dwarf seemed to recognize Zero and suddenly jumped up and scolded, "It's you ungrateful, damn, stinking the vampire!"

The dwarf scolded and then ran off in a clatter.

Zero froze on the spot, somewhat surprised at the back of his speedy escape.

Zero lost his laugh and was surprisingly fooled by a dwarf.



The next body sway and he appeared already in the way of the dwarf.

"Wait, I apologize, I won't hurt you." Zero said, without a hint of regret in his eyes. The dwarf looked into Zero's eyes and felt that he could kill himself at any moment. Not doing it now just isn't necessary. There was an air of danger about him, an air that was even more dangerous than when he first saw him.

Instinct told him not to go near this vampire!



But...

"Okay, I'll take you to the forest gods. But... that forest won't light up anymore. This forest is dead! Damn it, you fxxking vampires! The devil! Satan!" The dwarf grunted as he led Zero through the forest. For the path, he had taken... Zero frowned fiercely! A short bush chute that seriously threatens Zero's height with braches slaps!

Zero had to settle for the dwarf's term of "vicious demon" and reached out to split a path.

As it got closer and closer to Fu Lei, Zero vaguely sensed a faint breath was slowly emanating. But the breath spat out and scattered, without retracting it. It's like a dying person with more breath or less living breath.



Back again to seeing Fu Lei, the cave where Fu Lei was, to be exact. The light in the cave was already very faint. The original lush vegetation on the side of the cave had also lost its vibrancy, perhaps because Fu Lei's supplies to the plants on the periphery were no longer sufficient. On the side of the cave, the pool of water, which was originally clear, had also withered away, becoming a scoop of residual water.

"Fu Lei." called Zero inwardly.

The light of the cave flickered, clearly brighter than when it had just been seen.



"My Lord... "Fu Lei's voice sounded pale from powerlessness, "You have come... no, it is you who has finally returned."

Zero understands what Fu Lei means, the Dark Emperor reincarnation of the vampire is back.

"You..."

"I am no longer able to support the enchantment; I have failed my master's task. I... I'm sorry Master." Fu Lei's voice was very claustrophobic and self-critical.

Zero frowned, clearly it was the Dark Emperor who had taken advantage of him and he didn't even have to apologize.

"You're doing great." Zero said. He was not a man who could utter quick comforting words, and that was the limit.




But that alone moved Fu Lei.

"My lord...I thank you for your forgiveness, I am ashamed... I cannot fulfill your mandate. Hey... the White Emperor he's so bitter about this." Says Fu Lei with a sigh.



Fu Lei is a forest god, and he feels sorry for the White Emperor when he's bent on doing what he does has left him with all his strength left. Perhaps only the gods have such a forgiving heart, Zero thought, a smile on his face that he didn't know whether it was appreciation or sarcasm.



"The god of the forest is about to... die!" The dwarf suddenly opened his mouth, his face filled with pain and panic.

"Ah--" exclaimed the dwarf, and began to run up and down!

Waiting for the dwarf to finally shrug his head in dismay and walk back to Zero, he muttered to himself, "Come over this morning, it's going to be brighter in the cave. The forest god..."

The Dwarves were said to be ferocious and brutal, Zero lamented, but they only used ferocity as a cover for their cowardice.

The dwarf continued to mutter, "Every day I wait in the forest for an outsider who can save the forest god, but... god! Will you tell me how I can help you by being so wishful?"



The dwarf's bitterly cracked body like a tree stump had a very commanding expression. It makes him look funny and creepy.

"Were you the one who made the dwarf wait for me?" Zero asked. No wonder it was so easy to draw the dwarf in, it turned out that he had simply delivered himself to the door.

"Yes my lord, I think, you will come back for a trip after all, my... I didn't get the job done."

"Your mission is complete." Zero said, "Now tell me, how can I save you?" Zero's face was expressionless and his tone did not rise or fall in the slightest.



"No need, I've lived long enough... I'm tired and worn out, I'm going to fall into a slumber..." said Fu Lei in a weary tone.

Yes, it was time for him to be tired, after three hundred years of guarding, and it was time for him to rest.



"Just..." sighed Fu Lei.

"Just?" Zero repeated.

"It's just that as I slumber, this forest loses its protection, and sooner or later this forest will die." Fu Lei sounded sorrowful.

"What is to be done to protect this forest from death?" Zero said.

Fu Lei was a little surprised, "Master, you want to help me?"

Zero nodded, having used him for so long, he deserved something in return, he didn't like to be owed a favor, even if it was from a past life. What's more, Fu Lei had saved his life, otherwise he would have died at Angel's hands.



"All right then." Fu Lei said, "To the west of the Sangyang Island, there is an island called Rogga, which is very dangerous everywhere. The island's natives are also afraid to walk around unfamiliar parts of the island at will. It is said that there are four treasures on the island, and when one of them is buried in this forest, the forest will come back to life and restore the three festivals: the Forest of Calm, the Forest of Mist, and the Forest of Blood Moon. The changes in the forest have caused many of the forest's creatures to die because they are not adapted." Fu Lei said with a sigh, a sigh of compassion that was unique to the gods.



Fu Lei said again, "Master, if you still have to almost lay the boundary on the Sangyang Island, you can also use these four treasures. It's just that the density of the boundary is a bit weaker than the one I laid down before. But also enough to help you keep the vampire and the human race in order."

"No, I'm not a savior." Zero said coldly.

Fu Lei seemed to sulk for a moment, and after a moment he continued, "That Sire said that too."

The Sire? Fu Lei called the Dark Emperor the Sire. heh, Zero, and the Dark Emperor were two people, but they were both the same at the same time, very selfish. No matter how much history has glorified the image of the Dark Emperor, Zero has always felt that he is as selfish a man as he is.

"You too are troubled by maintaining order between the two races. You will have to find all four treasures." Fu Lei spoke as if with great certainty, with a smile in his voice.



Zero didn't deny it either. He was a man who was afraid of trouble and might really look for the four so-called treasures, but right now, all he wanted to do was to make the forest livelier again.

"Master, have you decided to go to Rogga Island yet?" Fu Lei said, "If you decide, I can give you the treasure map, it's in the waterhole!"

Zero nodded, taking off his coat and burrowing into the water at the dwarf's strange sight!



"Ah--what are you doing? Why do you want to kill yourself so badly? Though you are not as handsome as I am, you need not kill yourself with inferiority..." the dwarf exclaimed, circling the puddle of water.

"Huh, Joey, after my slumber, I hope the good ones won't hurt you." Fu Lei laughed, his voice getting lower and lower, and the light flames in the cave dimmed much.

The dwarf froze as he sensed that the light flames were weakening.



Zero dived to the bottom of the water, the pool was much shallower, but after all, it was already very deep, and it took a lot of work for Zero to go down.




If he hadn't turned into a vampire and wasn't breathing and dying for a while, then he was bound not to get down without actually drowing and dying.

The water was so calm, not to mention the fish, that you couldn't even see the water plants. In the clear pool of water, Zero saw the bottom glisten. I thought to myself that should be what he was looking for.



Zero continued to shallow descend down, only to find that the further down, the sharper the current became, as if close to the source of the living water.

Zero battled against the current with the amazing strength of the vampire. He saw that what released the stream of water was a shiny orb, its lustrous surface like a night pearl. There was a bottle next to the beads, and what was in the bottle was probably the map.

"Master, I bring up the beads; they are my last gift to you." Fu Lei's voice came through.

So Zero grabbed the beads and a bottle on the side and headed up the water.
