The old man was very angry.

……

Shen Tong stared at Cliff blankly. He didn't expect that the old priest wanted to accept him as a disciple?

In fact, after Cliff witnessed his fight, he quietly planted the idea of ​​accepting him as a disciple. Otherwise, how could he stand up to help him and help him hunt vampires.

In the final analysis, it was all carefully planned by Cliff, aiming to leave a good impression on Shen Tong so that he could accept him as a disciple more smoothly in the future.

"Good fellow, no wonder you were so enthusiastic at first, it turned out to be for this purpose."

Shentong secretly complained in his heart, then cleared his throat and responded: "Mr. Cliff, I haven't considered becoming a disciple yet."

Cliff's expression froze slightly when he heard this, and then he also smiled awkwardly. Obviously, he was unexpected for Shentong's rejection, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Is that so? It's okay."

"I know this kind of thing is quite abrupt for you, but I'm just saying it. If you have any ideas in the future, you can always come to me."

Cliff deliberately made an excuse to cover up his embarrassment, and then he stopped talking and continued to drive the horse towards the destination.

Shentong was relieved when he saw that he stopped talking.

Become a disciple? This kind of thing is completely dispensable to him.

Shentong, who has the Uchiha Hokage system, is his best teacher. As long as he has this thing, he can become the strongest in the future.

On the contrary, if Cliff really became his disciple, not to mention how much he could learn, his actions would definitely be affected and restricted, and even many secrets could not be easily revealed.

In comprehensive comparison, Shen Tong of course chose the latter.

But one thing is true, that is, Cliff did help him, so if there is a chance in the future, Shen Tong will repay the favor.

Soon after, the sunset fell.

The golden afterglow sprinkled the woods, coating the forest with a layer of dazzling gold.

Cliff rode the horse all day, galloping on the winding forest path, and finally arrived at the destination when night fell.

He and Shen Tong rode on horses and passed through a fork in the deep forest. Then, a dark and empty area came into view, and the outlines of hundreds of houses could be vaguely seen.

Steiger, this is their destination.

There used to be more than 300 people living here, but a few years ago, the village was attacked by vampires, and most of the villagers suffered misfortune. Eventually, the entire village became a ruin, and no one cared about it.

It was not until half a month ago that a merchant group passed by here and encountered vampires again, and then reported the matter to the church, so people were sent to investigate.

And Cliff was sent to investigate the situation after accepting the mission of the church.

He and Shentong rode on horseback, staring at the silent village, only to see that the village was pitch black, and not even a trace of sound could be heard, and the silence was terrible.

"Shentong, listen carefully, and don't leave me later." Cliff suddenly said in a serious tone.

Shentong looked up at Cliff after hearing it, and after seeing his serious expression, he knew that he was not joking, so he nodded quickly.

The two got off the horse and walked towards the village together.

It was dark before, so the buildings were not clearly visible. Now that the two of them were approaching, they found that the village had already been ruined.

Shen Tong walked on the wide and soft dirt road, looking around carefully.

He found that most of the houses here were made of wood, and most of them were dilapidated, with incomplete doors and windows. Those few relatively intact houses were either severely corroded due to their age, or the roofs and walls were covered with moss and vines.

"It's so quiet, there's not even a ghost, are there really vampires here?"

Shen Tong muttered to himself.

Cliff heard it and reminded him seriously, "Be quiet, vampires have very sensitive hearing, don't alarm them."

Hearing this, Shen Tong had to keep quiet and continue to go deeper inside.

Cliff lit the kerosene lamp he had prepared in advance, and then entered a house to search.

The house was in a mess, accompanied by a damp, moldy and decayed smell, which was very unpleasant.

Shen Tong and Cliff subconsciously covered their mouths and noses, and under the light, carefully checked the internal conditions, and found a broken skeleton on the bed.

"This... is!"

When Shen Tong saw the remains, he was shocked. It was obviously a human skeleton.

"Lying on the bed... It seems that the deceased died in his sleep."

Cliff walked over and carefully checked it, and analyzed the cause of death.

"Since he died in his sleep, why is his body incomplete?" Shen Tong asked in confusion.

Cliff answered the question after hearing it.

It turns out that vampires not only suck blood, but also eat meat, especially the lower-level vampires who eat a lot, and the prey they have visited are rarely complete.

"So that's how it is. This person is really pitiful. He didn't even die completely after death."

Shen Tong sighed with regret after learning the situation.

"Hehe, don't rush to sympathize with him."

"If you meet a vampire later, you'd better protect yourself. In case you are bitten by them..." Cliff said at the end, showing a mysterious and weird smile.

"Could it be..." Shen Tong was not stupid, and immediately thought of the terrible result.

"Yes, if you are bitten by a vampire and don't deal with it in time, you will turn into their kind." Cliff gave the answer faintly.

"No way, so scary?!" Shen Tong was shocked after hearing it.

"Of course, where do you think vampires come from? Of course they are transformed from humans." Cliff snorted.

"If you don't want to become them, you'd better follow me closely. If you have to fight, then attack their vital points first."

"Vital points?" Shentong was stunned again.

"Well, vampires also have fatal points, but it depends on the type."

"If it is a low-level vampire, it can be solved by hitting the head with ordinary bullets. If it is a higher level, you have to use pure silver and special weapons to attack the heart, or burn it with fire."

After listening to the story, Shentong realized for the first time how difficult it is to hunt vampires, and also admired Cliff's extensive knowledge in this area.

Dinglingling...

Just when the two were talking in the house, the sound of bells suddenly came from outside the house.

Something happened.

Cliff and Shentong immediately carried the oil lamp and ran outside. When the two came outside, they found that there were several people standing not far from the street.

There were three people, an old man and two young men. Judging from their clothes, they were wearing ordinary clothes.

"Who are you?" Cliff shouted at the three people standing at the door.

At this time, the old man in the lead slowly walked forward, leaning on a cane with a bell hanging on it. It seemed that the sound just now was made by him.

As the old man approached, the light of the kerosene lamp also clearly reflected his face.

This was an old man over 80 years old, with a hunched body, wearing a woolen coat, and under his silver-haired head was a shriveled and old face, as if a skeleton was covered with a thin layer of human skin.

Shentong was also shocked when he first saw the old man. He almost mistook it for a mummy.

"Did you two just come from outside?" The old man said weakly.

"Well, we passed by here and wanted to find a place to stay for one night."

Cliff looked at the old man and replied calmly, but he had to tell the truth.

The old man was silent for a while, then noticed Cliff's clothes and spoke again: "Are you a priest?"

"Yes." Cliff nodded.

"Great, we are just about to ask the priest for help." The old man suddenly said excitedly.

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"It's like this, we just came here not long ago. About half an hour ago, a vampire attacked us and robbed a companion."

"Did you encounter a vampire?" Cliff looked at him in surprise.

The old man nodded quickly: "Yes, that thing ran to the south of the village. We were all afraid to chase it. I don't know if the priest is willing to help."

"Yes, but I hope you can lead the way for me."

Cliff actually agreed without thinking.

Hearing this, the old man also looked at his two companions and shouted: "Charles, Kubiak, please lead the way for Mr. Priest."

"Yes." The two responded in unison.

"Shen Tong, stay with the old man, I'll go take a look."

After Cliff gave his instructions, he went to the south of the village with the two young men.

"Tsk, you said you wouldn't let me leave, but you ran so fast." Shen Tong looked at Cliff's back and complained in his heart.

When the old man saw Cliff walking away, he turned his eyes to Shen Tong, "Kid, it's not safe outside, come back to the house with me."

Shen Tong didn't think much after hearing this, and followed the old man and left.
