Maybe it's because vampires hate the sun, or maybe it's something else, but the sky in the Bloodland is overcast all year round, and the thick clouds make it hard to figure out if it's morning or night, noon or afternoon.

There is no sunlight all year round, resulting in a large number of plants dying, in addition to vegetation plants can survive tenaciously, ordinary flowers and trees either die directly, or half-alive and steal life...... There is no sunlight, green plants are scarce, and towns are massively destroyed, and if there is one word to describe the appearance of the blood domain, it is "old", which is a feeling of twilight depression like an old oil painting, without vitality, emotion, and lifelessness.

Out of the castle, breathing in the fresh air, feeling the cold wind blowing through his cheeks, Zhang Yu let out a breath of depression, smoked the cigarette butt and set off without looking back.

Due to the sudden appearance of the main quest "out of time", while interrupting Zhang Yu's "peaceful" life, he also needs to do some preparation and homework, such as several pieces of information and maps about the blood domain.

"The Viscount's strength is equivalent to that of a Yunyuan-level apostle, but judging from the hints of the mission, there should be something wrong with this guy, injured? Otherwise, letting an open-source apostle fight a vampire viscount is almost to death. ”

Walking on a mountain road, Zhang Yu looked at a piece of information in one hand and ate a piece of bread in the other, watching and eating while walking, and muttered to himself vaguely: "It is about 500 kilometers away from the Valley of Resentment, fifteen days...... Well, there's no rush. ”

With Zhang Yu's physical fitness, Highway 500 can be reached even if it is slower for four or five days, and there is no need to rush day and night.

In reality, Zhang Yu actually yearns for hiking, and wants to be a simple backpacker and experience the loneliness and freedom of backpackers. No need to plan, no need to guide, go on the road alone, take a look at the scenery along the road, and feel the customs of other places...... Of course, in reality, many things can only be thought about, after all, he still has studies, he still has a sister to take care of, even if he needs to work to make money during winter and summer vacations, there are too many scruples.

Backpacks, non-slip shoes, jackets, waterproof pants, wide-brimmed hats, fingerless gloves, sunglasses...... Although Zhang Yu's exchange points are not many, these daily necessities are very cheap, so in order to create an atmosphere of backpackers, of course, he bought them all.

Dead trees? Never mind. Deserted? Never mind. No sunlight? Never mind. Strange rocks? Never mind......

Nothing matters, nothing matters, rest when you are tired, eat when you are hungry, drink when you are thirsty, just walk as you like, walk between the mountains and forests, between the streams and rivers.

I have never been so relaxed, I don't want to be, I just feel the moment, Zhang Yu's mood is getting better and better.

And perhaps it was the change in mood that made the nightmares he often had these days gradually turn into ordinary dreams, and his hands and feet were cold when he woke up every morning.

……

In a dead forest, Zhang Yu confronted a big black bear that stood up nearly three meters upright, the big black bear kept roaring in protest, while Zhang Yu was gearing up to try, looking like he couldn't wait to do it.

When the demonstration failed, the big black bear was furious, and suddenly a pounce pounced on Zhang Yu, and two huge bear claws grabbed Zhang Yu's head.

Zhang Yu bent his body, and after dodging the attack of the big black bear, he immediately returned the color and hit the big black bear in the chin with a beautiful uppercut.

A moment of effort.

"Scared? Let you go today...... Tell your accomplices, don't mess with me, or you'll be eaten, don't blame me for not reminding you. ”

After beating the big black bear to the head of the mouse, Zhang Yu, who was in a good mood, did not pursue, but just watched the big black bear twist his fat big ass and run away, and then continued on the road.

……

"What a beautiful ......"

In the middle of the night, thousands of fireflies fly in swarms, forming a beautiful picture, which is thrilling in the extremely dark wilderness. Zhang Yu was fascinated by it, and couldn't help but reach out and grab a few, and then slowly let go of his hand to watch them fly away from the palm.

It's so beautiful, this kind of scene that only appears in fairy tales, Zhang Yu is also the first time to see it.

Thousands of fireflies gather and disperse, high and low, flying back and forth above this grass, smearing the originally lifeless grass like a fairyland.

……

Outside a certain town, Zhang Yu looked at the tall castles in the center of the town vigilantly, hesitated, and chose to detour.

He had a hunch that there should be vampires in those castles...... It's just that judging from the scale of the castles, once there are vampires in these castles, then the number will definitely not be small.

With his strength, once there are more than three vampires, there is absolutely no chance of winning, after all, he is only at the open source level, and his strength is equivalent to the weakest baron among vampires.

……

"I'm chasing you, today's dinner is yours!"

In the boundless wilderness, Zhang Yu strode wildly, easily hanging behind a leopard, in a happy mood.

A man and a leopard are as fast as arrows, and they deduce an unreasonable battle of speed in this wilderness.

After about ten seconds, the leopard began to slow down, apparently running at high speed and overwhelming its heart. But Zhang Yu didn't seem to want to end the race, so he also slowed down, always maintaining a distance of more than ten meters...... After a minute, the leopard stopped panting, turned to look behind him, and wanted to see the hateful human who couldn't fight, and couldn't run.

However, there was nothing behind it, and there was still Zhang Yu's shadow.

……

"Come on!"

In the vast wilderness, Zhang Yu looked at the thousands of horses rushing towards him, his eyes full of excitement. He stood still, letting the herd of horses pass by him, a little nervous, a little arrogant, a little excited.

When the herd passed him, he turned to follow, then jumped on a wild horse behind the herd, let it run on its back, and began to drift with the current.

……

Five days later, Zhang Yu ended his backpacker trip and came to the destination of the trip, Curse Valley.

In fact, he was able to get there yesterday, but yesterday afternoon he stumbled upon an underground cave on the road, and when he saw that he was happy to hunt, he plunged into it without even thinking about it, and then it took four or five hours to completely explore the underground cave. It was late at night, and he slept in a damp underground cave with no mercy.

The Valley of the Curse is a large valley with high and low peaks connected to each other on all sides, and the valley is fairly open and flat.

"Huh?"

As he went deeper into the valley, the top of a human structure gradually appeared on a hillside in the distance, which made Zhang Yu immediately vigilant, and his walking pace slowed down.

Climbing the hillside and looking down, a huge castle covering an area of 1,000 square meters appeared in view.

"Could it be that the vampire is hiding here? However, it doesn't look like there's anyone. After observing for a while, Zhang Yu found that the castle was quiet, and he didn't see anyone inside through the window of the castle, which made Zhang Yu a little unpredictable.

However, he was not in a hurry, did not act immediately, and chose to continue to observe.

After all, this is the second main quest he received when he came to the Thirteen Domains, and it is clearly written in the quest that the vampire named Goode to find and kill is a viscount, whose strength is equivalent to that of an apostle at the Yunyuan level, so he can't be careless.

Minute by minute, as time passed, the sky became darker and darker, which made Zhang Yu, who had been lying on the hillside, gradually unable to see the situation in the castle clearly.

"Action!"

When it was too dark to observe the castle, Zhang Yu moved, quickly ran down the hill, and then rushed towards the castle.

And although he was very fast, he didn't actually use much strength, so he didn't make much noise when he ran.

As he approached the castle, he slowed down, paying extra attention to each step for fear of causing a noise.

It took five days to get here, not in a hurry.

When he came to the outer wall of the ancient castle, Zhang Yu immediately held his breath and listened through the wall.

There was no movement.

After listening for a while, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief after finding that the castle was still quiet, and then carefully walked to the gate of the castle and gently pushed one of the two wooden doors.

Squeak......

Finding that the door was shaking slightly, Zhang Yu took a deep breath, then slowly pushed the door open with even force, and then got into it sideways.

The castle is very quiet and dark, although it is not to the point where you can't see your fingers, but with Zhang Yu's eyesight, you can only see a few meters away.

After thinking about it, he still took out a searchlight from the space ring and pressed the switch.

"Hiss......"

After a beam of light from the searchlight illuminated an area in the ancient castle, Zhang Yu's eyebrows jumped and he took a breath of cold air.
