What?
A sudden "I'll help you" echoed, causing a series of question marks to float above both Van Helsing's and Zheng Zha's foreheads simultaneously.
The difference lies in that the former is a doubt about the identity of the speaker, while the latter doesn't understand their own team captain and is wondering what kind of nonsense they are going to pull out, and why they would suddenly attack themselves.
Just as confusion set in, a dozen figures darted out from the surrounding small grove at an incredible speed, approaching the two.
One figure moved the fastest, appearing before Zheng Zha in a flash of movement, then delivered a palm to his little white face, knocking him down hard onto the ground.
BANG BANG BANG———————————————
A thunderous roar broke the silence, shaking the earth with the intensity of an earthquake. The ground within a radius of dozens of meters collapsed and cratered, black cracks widening like a creature's gaping maw along the edges of the depression. They swept in all directions, shaking the entire small grove as if it were a boat on rough seas.
At the same time, nearly falling flat on his face, Van Helsing was appalled by the spectacle before him, his tiger-like eyes wide with amazement, thinking to himself about who this valiant warrior could be who was so brave...
No way! With such incredible strength, is the opponent really human?
Thoughts running through his mind, he felt a rush of powerful wind before him, followed by a dozen figures appearing behind him. All of them had Asian faces, clearly members of the Zhongzhou Team.
Van Helsing was puzzled in his heart and slightly shifted his feet, subtly moving away from the group without drawing attention.
At that moment, a loud collision echoed from the smoke in front of him, as if an impact wrench were continuously pounding the ground, causing violent tremors.
When Jian Lan dispelled the smoke with his mental energy, the group saw that in the huge crater, Wu Xian jumped on Zheng Zha's body and started to stomp wildly. He cursed the damned vampire at the same time as stomping, as if there were deep enmity between them.
Seeing this scene of "Wu Xian trampling Zheng Zha," not only was Van Helsing baffled, but a plethora of dark lines floated over the foreheads of the Zhongzhou team members. This was because in the mental network, the conversation between Wu Xian and Zheng Zha was as follows—
"Captain! The script wasn't like this! It's not supposed to be like this!!"
"Captain! The plan is falling apart! We have to adapt to the changes to keep the show going. You'll just have to deal with it for now."
"Even so, there's no need to get serious about it, right?"
"I can't help it, my acting skills are terrible. I'm afraid I won't be able to fool Van Helsing if I don't go all out. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't overdo it."
"Maybe you won't kill me, but you definitely will try to harm me!"
"Stop fooling around, you're not a centipede spirit... Everyone over there, stop watching the show. Hurry up and come over to help me grab his hands and feet!"
Receiving the order from the team leader, the experienced members of Zhongzhou Team couldn't help but exchange worried glances. Eventually, four people including Li Xiao Yi, Chen Xiaoxiao, Mo Gang, and Zero stepped forward in unison. Their expressions became increasingly ferocious while apologizing repeatedly to Zheng Zha in the mental network.
Li Xiao Yi: [I'm sorry, Brother Zheng, but I didn't want to either. It's all for the mission.]
Chen Xiaoxiao: [That's right, doing this really hurts me!]
Zero Point: [Thanks for your hard work, when we return to the main god space, I'll give you a side quest with a D-class storyline...]
Mo Gang: [I do too!]
Zheng Zha: [Don't come over to me ———!!!]
...
CRACK CRACK CRACK! SPLAT SPLAT SPLASH!
After about ten minutes, the inhumane group beating finally came to an end. Wu Xian walked out of the hole looking refreshed, his face beaming with joy and exhilaration from doing good and correcting evil.
Meanwhile, Li Xiao Yi and Chen Xiaoxiao supported the rotund Zheng Zha, dragging him along to the front of Van Helsing and the others.
Zheng Zha: \(°_o)/
At the sight of Zheng Zha's pitiful appearance, Van Helsing's mouth twitched slightly, and his gaze towards Wu Xian and the others became somewhat complicated.
When Zheng Zha was previously beaten up, Jian Lan had already started communicating with Van Helsing. She told him that the people in front of him were from a distant eastern country and were also hunters like them.
Now, the reason why they appeared in Europe was because they were enlightened by a god, and were commanded to cleanse the dark creatures here, finally bringing peace and tranquility to the people of Europe.
Just recently, they had heard some rumors that the minions of Count Dracula were causing trouble in London, so they hurried all the way here.
They plan to defeat their opponents first, then use the information obtained through interrogation to launch a sudden attack on the vampire castle in Romania, aiming to completely eliminate this legendary strongest vampire.
To be honest, he would never have believed such an obviously fabricated story.
But then again, Jian Lan is not only beautiful with a good figure, but also has a very pleasant speaking voice.
Most importantly, she secretly used her ability of mental suggestion on Van Helsing, so not only is the logic of this story relatively coherent, even if it really is complete bullshit, Van Helsing wouldn't doubt it too much.
"Seeing your appearance, you must be Mr. Van Helsing, long heard of your reputation. I am Wu Xian, the leader of the Zhongzhou Hunter Group. I hope you will give us your guidance and advice!"
Seeing Van Helsing look as if he wanted to say something but held back, Wu Xian smiled slightly, stepped forward to initiate a conversation, and introduced himself according to the arbitrary setting that Jian Lan had made up earlier.
"Hello... but what does 'long heard of your name' mean? Are you saying that you have heard of my name before?"
Van Helsing was curious. Although he had some reputation in the dark world, it shouldn't have spread to such an ancient Eastern country.
"Of course! We've been in Europe for a while now, and in the surrounding countries, your portrait is everywhere. I still have one with me!"
Wu Xian's lips curved up slightly, and then he pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket. On it was a drawing of Van Helsing's masked head, with the name and an annotation of 2000 pounds in reward written beneath it.
Upon seeing the wanted poster before him, Van Helsing's face turned as dark as a thundercloud.
Clearly, he had always been somewhat dissatisfied with his status as the number one wanted criminal in Europe and was quite dissatisfied with the Church's inaction.
He had eliminated countless dark creatures and saved one innocent life after another, only to be viewed as a cruel and bloodthirsty madman… Why?
Right, his methods were somewhat rough; he often destroyed public property and always killed dark creatures in public. But that also proved his high level of expertise, didn't it!
It's not Van Helsing boasting. He could wipe out an entire order of Holy Knights with a single swing of his arm, and he has been doing it for centuries.
Such a hardworking and patient donkey is unparalleled in the world.
As a result, they didn't even give him praise. In fact, they wouldn't even help to clear his name. They just let him take the blame for being a notorious killer, which is treating him like a piece of livestock rather than a human being.
The more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Van Helsing felt as if a surge of resentment was building up inside him with nowhere to go. His gaze towards Wu Xian and the others started to show signs of irritation.
"Young fellow, what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately taunting me?"
"Ha ha! It's just a joke, just trying to lighten the mood. Don't take it to heart."
Wu Xian laughed heartily and then his expression became serious.
"Mr. Van Helsing, I assume you already know our purpose. We came to London to capture this vampire, preparing for the battle against Dracula."
"In addition, we have learned through some channels that the Church has also given you similar orders. Why don't we go together to Romania and work together to eliminate Dracula?"
