“Ouch!”
The fierce wolf howl resounded through the sky.
In the darkness of the night, giant wolves surrounded by black mist, with red eyes and ferocious looks, surrounded a bare earth slope.
Or to be more precise, their scarlet eyes were staring greedily at the petite figure on the slope.
A terrifying pressure emanated from the giant wolves.
They have bloody mouths and corrosive acidic saliva flowing out. Their crazy and terrifying appearance is enough to make anyone who sees them tremble.
Surrounded by them, on the slope.
The petite figure remained unmoved.
She turned around gently and slowly opened her eyes.
Under the night sky, the two scarlet eyes emitted a faint red light, which was deeper than the madness of the giant wolf.
She raised her hand slightly, and a black phantom burst out from behind her.
The giant wolves howled and rushed towards her, but the next second, a ghostly black shadow passed through any of the attacking giant wolves.
The dark red blood mist bloomed like a blooming flower, and the giant wolf's head and body were separated in an instant.
They continued to rush forward a few steps by inertia, and then fell to the ground one after another, without any breath left.
All this happened in just a moment, and the petite figure simply raised her hands slightly.
Her eyes fell on the corpses of the giant wolves, and a hint of satisfaction appeared deep in her heart.
She just stretched out her hand and hooked it slightly, and the next second, the bright red blood seemed to have life, continuously flying out from the broken neck of the wolf corpse and gathering towards her.
She gently opened her mouth, and the bright red blood was easily swallowed up like a water tornado.
As the blood was lost, the bodies of the giant wolves that fell to the ground shrank and dried up, eventually turning into horrible mummies.
In the night sky, the thick clouds gradually dissipated, revealing the bright moonlight, illuminating the petite figure.
Long golden hair, scarlet eyes, a stunning little face, and a white dress that doesn't fit in with the freezing cold surroundings. Who else could it be but Charlotte who has activated the power of her blood
Feeling the abundant magic power in her body and the feeling of fullness after eating, Charlotte smiled with satisfaction.
She gently touched her somewhat full stomach and snapped her fingers. A faint blue flame burst out between the wolf corpses, erasing all traces in an instant.
After doing all this, Charlotte nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and jumped, turning into a ball of black mist and disappearing into the darkness.
In a makeshift camp.
The black mist slowly gathered and condensed into the shape of Charlotte.
She landed steadily, looked at the sky which was gradually turning pale, put on the fur coat that Halfdan had lent her, and pointed lightly at the sleeping hunter.
A scarlet light flashed by, and the sleeping magic on the hunter was lifted.
Soon, Halfdan, who was soundly sleeping, yawned and slowly opened his eyes in the Mimi Lake.
Seeing the girl warming herself by the bonfire, he suddenly came to his senses and cried out in a strange voice:
"Oh! Damn it! Master Tianqi Ensi, I'm sorry! I fell asleep again!"
"Damn it! I should be the one keeping watch!"
Looking at the shouting hunter, Charlotte smiled and said:
"It's okay. It doesn't matter who keeps watch. I can't sleep anyway."
"But it should have been me! I'm so sorry! It seems I was too lax! I actually fell asleep while on guard in the wild! You know, there are often wild wolves around here! One of those scary guys can kill us, not to mention they often act in groups! Even the Apocalypse Master has to be careful when they encounter them!"
Halfdan said this with a mixture of self-blame and fear.
But after he finished speaking, he looked at the neatly-kept camp and the beast repellent powder that showed no signs of being consumed, and he was stunned again:
"Hmm? Master Tianqi Ensi, last night...did you still not encounter any nocturnal beasts?"
Charlotte nodded and said as a matter of course:
"Yeah, last night was another Christmas Eve, and no monsters attacked the camp."
Harv looked surprised and scratched his head in confusion:
"Strange! I remember there should be a lot of wild beasts on this road... Why haven't I seen any in the past few days?"
"Isn't it good that I didn't meet him?"
Charlotte asked back with a smile.
Halfdan hesitated and shook his head:
"Not really... After all, it's the return trip, and the energy of the Bow of God has been almost consumed. It's naturally safer not to encounter wild beasts. It's just... I can't even see the weakest wild rabbit along the way. It's really... really weird."
Then he said with a worried look on his face:
"Master Tianqi Ensi, we haven't encountered any wild beasts for several days in a row. This is definitely not normal!"
"There are already many wild beasts in the northern border. After a snowstorm, they often go out together to look for food. It is not necessarily a good thing that we haven't encountered anything for such a long time."
"Lord Tianqi Ensi, I suggest that we speed up our pace. Wild beasts are always sensitive. I wonder if they have sensed some unknown danger, so they all moved away from here..."
"For example, some more powerful existence, or some disaster that is brewing."
Halfdan said worriedly.
After hearing what he said, Charlotte smiled and said:
"I have no opinion."
"Then let's pack up and leave quickly. No matter what monsters or disasters there are around here, we will be safe as long as we return to the tribe."
Halfdan said.
After saying that, he immediately started packing his luggage.
Charlotte didn't have much to clean up.
She wanted to help, but Halfdan wouldn't let her do it, or rather, he didn't dare to let her do it.
The title of "Heir of Apocalypse" was greater than she had imagined, at least to Halfdan. Charlotte felt that in front of her, this hunter was as humble as a servant.
Since she didn't need her help, she was happy and relaxed, so she simply distracted herself and checked her own condition.
It has been a week since she woke up. Except for the snowstorm in the first three days, she and Halfdan set out on the journey to the northern border tribe after the weather cleared up.
During the journey, Charlotte traveled with Halfdan during the day, and at night she would knock him down and secretly hunt wild beasts to restore her strength.
The reason why she didn't encounter any wild beasts along the way was naturally because she killed them all, or perhaps those monsters sensed the danger in advance and fled.
With continuous killing and devouring, Charlotte's strength recovered to its peak before awakening after a few days, and she was only one step away from breaking through to the second level of Silver Moon.
However, what troubled Charlotte was that although her strength had been restored, she still had not found a way to return to another era.
She did not feel drowsy like she did before she woke up, but remained awake the whole time.
As for the Holy Book of Blood in her consciousness, after repeated inspections over the days since her power was restored, Charlotte also discovered the differences from before she woke up.
On the one hand, the divine power of blood contained in the Holy Book of Blood disappeared. Charlotte didn't know whether she had "traveled" to this era and consumed all the divine power, or for some other reason. In short... now she couldn't sense any divine power.
At the same time, the liberation of the True Ancestor, which was originally in the "on state", was also sealed again. At least in her consciousness, the option of materialization it represented turned gray.
On the other hand, the crimson sea of stars that could be unfolded by the Blood Summoning had disappeared.
Or to be more precise, the originally brilliant sea of stars turned into a foggy world, and even the stars represented by Sebastian and Yulster, who had signed a blood contract with Charlotte, were nowhere to be found.
However, although the stars representing the vampires have disappeared, Charlotte can still feel the vague connection deep in her soul.
She could sense that her connection with the two Blood Scrolls and the contracted servant of Nice was still there, but it seemed to be disrupted or isolated by something, making it difficult for her to contact them now.
Charlotte didn't know whether this was the influence of the power of time or some other reason, but what was certain was that as long as she stayed in this era for one day, she would not be able to contact her own members through the contract.
The only thing that surprised Charlotte was the believers.
Her believers, mainly from the Blood Wolf Tribe, are still there and can be clearly sensed.
However, similar to the Blood Scroll, although she could sense it, she could not project power through the connection of faith as usual, or communicate with the other party.
To put it in general, part of the power of the Holy Book of Blood has been sealed.
The cheat was banned, and Charlotte's sense of security was greatly reduced.
All she could do now was to improve her strength by devouring the blood power of wild beasts as much as possible, and then try to break through Silver Moon in this era.
After packing their luggage, the two set out on their journey again, and after three days of traveling, Charlotte finally arrived at Halfdan's tribe.
