Chapter 24

Roars, panting, and screams filled the air.

When Zhao Futu cautiously stepped out of the prison, the outside was already a scene of chaos.

Inside this castle, apart from the vampires, there were a large number of human servants, especially maids. After all, vampires were creatures that enjoyed pleasure, and their daily lives required the service of others. Moreover, the maids could provide other services when needed. Naturally, when the imprisoned werewolves rushed out, they were the first to be harmed!

Although the soldiers of the Death Corps inside the castle were well-prepared, how could they possibly stop a horde of frenzied werewolves under the full moon?

After transforming into a giant werewolf, Cain not only released the infected werewolves but also freed those that had been imprisoned in the animal pens. Nearly two hundred werewolves broke through the defenses of the Death Corps soldiers and rushed into the residential area of the castle, killing and biting anyone they saw. For a moment, the air was filled with the screams of the vampire maids.

Many of these maids had already been turned into low-level vampires, but the majority were still ordinary humans. Vampire Prince Victor had always strictly controlled the number of vampires to prevent a shortage of blood supply in the castle. Therefore, the fighting power of these women could be largely ignored. In the face of the frenzied werewolves rushing into the castle under the full moon, they suffered heavy casualties!

At the same time, many torches were lit inside the castle. Some of the torches were knocked to the ground by the frenzied werewolves, immediately starting fires in several places.

The sounds of fierce fighting echoed outside the prison!

After sneaking out, Zhao Futu immediately avoided the werewolves and fled in the opposite direction.

The giant werewolf Cain might still retain some consciousness, but the other werewolves were completely beasts! Zhao Futu couldn't be sure if these frenzied werewolves would attack him. Although Cain had previously suppressed their urge to attack him, he might not be able to take care of Zhao Futu now. Moreover, as the battle became more intense, the last bit of rationality in Cain's eyes was gradually being overwhelmed by the bloodlust. Zhao Futu was no longer sure if Cain still had human consciousness!

The werewolves were currently holding their own against the vampire warriors because the elite forces of the Death Corps had not yet arrived. Vampire Princess Sonya and the other high-ranking vampires did not live in this area and would not appear for a while. However, if the high-ranking vampires arrived, or even Vampire Prince Victor, the werewolves would have no chance of winning.

"Kain definitely isn't Lucian! So, what part of the original plot is this?" Zhao Futu avoided the vampire warriors and continued to sneak deeper into the castle.

At this point, he was almost certain that Kain was not Lucian.

Because a werewolf uprising of this scale was not enough to completely destroy the vampire castle. At most, it would cause some damage and create some chaos. The main forces of the vampires in the castle were not affected; only the captured maids and slaves were lost. The vampires could easily capture more ordinary humans whenever they wanted, so it didn't matter!

However, Vampire Princess Sonya still held a deep contempt for werewolves, almost the same as other vampires. This seemed to indicate that she had not yet met the werewolf Lucian and had not yet changed her perception of werewolves from that of savage, bloodthirsty beasts with no intelligence!

Even more, Zhao Futu had a vague suspicion.

"Could it be? Lucian, the leader of the werewolves, hasn't been born yet?" The more he thought about it, the more he believed this was possible.

In the prequel of "Underworld," the two main characters were not confirmed to have grown up together. Given the incredibly long lifespan of vampires, it was possible that the werewolf leader Lucian was raised by Vampire Princess Sonya. This might explain why they ended up together, as a high-ranking vampire princess would have few opportunities to interact with a werewolf slave. Could she have fallen in love with a stinky werewolf slave at first sight?

If that were the case, it would be too much of a cliché!

Subtly!

Zhao Futu felt he had grasped something, but he couldn't yet piece everything together. His memory of the movie was limited, but he remembered that the werewolf leader Lucian was born a werewolf, not infected by another werewolf. This was the reason for the secondary mutation of the werewolf virus in his body, which led to the modern werewolves who could transform back into human form.

Although the werewolf virus originated from the ancestral werewolf William, the later werewolves inherited the secondary mutation from Lucian.

In a certain sense, he was also one of the ancestors of the werewolves!

Moreover, Zhao Futu clearly remembered that Lucian had been a slave to Vampire Prince Victor from birth, born in this castle and already a werewolf from the moment he was born.

"Could it be that Lucian really hasn't been born yet?" Zhao Futu sneaked into the residential area of the castle. The castle was surrounded by high walls, and with his skills, he couldn't climb out. The residential area was the most chaotic, and he needed to pass through it to reach the front gate. However, there was not much time left before the 48-hour survival requirement of the main mission. Once he completed the main mission, according to the mysterious Nightmare Space's prompt, he could leave directly.

So, Zhao Futu's main goal in sneaking here was to observe the next developments!

………………

In the dark corridor, a strong smell of blood permeated the air.

Just around the corner, Zhao Futu discovered the body of a werewolf not far ahead. It had died not long ago and had not yet returned to human form. These early werewolves, being more like beasts, took longer to revert to human form after death compared to modern werewolves. Some lower-level werewolves, who inherited more of the ancestral werewolf William's blood, never returned to human form even after death.

—There's a killing aura!

When Zhao Futu saw the werewolf's body, he suddenly felt his skin tighten, especially his scalp, which tightened even more. This was the "tingling scalp" sensation that ordinary people experience when frightened, a natural reaction of the body. However, Zhao Futu's reaction was more intense, as if his scalp had been pricked by invisible needles, stimulating his central nervous system to produce a sense of pain!

This was the so-called killing aura.

A mysterious and magical thing that ordinary people find hard to sense. Zhao Futu had once faced a wild bear and was not unfamiliar with this feeling. In fact, once a person experienced it, they would never forget it! The feeling that made all the hair on one's body stand up was a tangible killing aura!

Even some fierce generals who had emerged from the blood and gore of ancient battles could kill a timid person with just a glance, relying solely on their killing aura!

Zhao Futu was not yet clear how killing aura was formed.

But he was too familiar with the feeling of killing aura! The sudden tightening of his skin, the tingling scalp, and the hair standing on end, as if pricked by needles, were sensations he would never forget!
