The huge and bright moon hung in the sky, making the stones that were still covered in some rocks reflect a faint white light.
Zhou Chen jumped on the rocks and advanced. From time to time, he would jump down the valley and occasionally climb up, quickly crossing this mountainous area.
“This place is really desolate. Not to mention humans, I don’t even see a wild beast.”
Zhou Chen had already walked in the mountain for almost an hour, but he did not find any living creatures. There was no one to whom he could ask for directions.
After moving forward for about half an hour, Zhou Chen sensed a person ahead through the Bloodthirst passive skill.
This person was a little special. Their blood gave Zhou Chen a particularly vigorous feeling, clearly different from ordinary people.
Out of curiosity, Zhou Chen quietly approached.
Soon, he saw a silver-haired woman in steel armor and a sword at her waist. She looked to be in her twenties. She had a heroic and beautiful face, a pair of golden eyes, and a tall and healthy figure.
“Hey! The one hiding there! Come out!”
Zhou Chen hid in the dark and observed from ten meters away. The silver-haired female warrior who was walking alone in the mountainous area at night looked in Zhou Chen’s direction and shouted at him.
“I came to ask for directions.”
Zhou Chen was a little surprised at being exposed, but he still walked to the light of the moon and calmly replied to the woman.
“Really?”
The heroic silver-haired woman stared at him with her especially dazzling golden eyes.
“What do you want to ask?”
“Red Valley City, I want to know the location of Red Valley City.”
Zhou Chen replied calmly.
“Red Valley City? I just came out of there.”
The silver-haired woman smiled.
“I think we can make a deal. Tell me, have you seen a vampire nearby?”
She then asked Zhou Chen.
“No.”
Zhou Chen immediately replied.
“You lie.”
However, the woman immediately exposed him.
“Both you and the box over there have the aura of a vampire!”
The woman pulled out the sword from her waist, its blade shining in the moonlight.
“Are you that vampire’s servant?”
“???”
Question marks appeared on Zhou Chen’s face.
“Miss, don’t speak nonsense. I’m not a vampire’s servant.”
Zhou Chen immediately replied unhappily.
“Hmph, I don’t believe you.”
The woman snorted coldly. Then, she waved her sword and charged towards him.
Seeing the situation develop to this point, Zhou Chen made up his mind. A spear appeared in his hand and stabbed at the woman’s throat.
His strength and agility far surpassed that of ordinary people. Although his attack was simple and direct, its speed was extremely fast. Ordinary people had no chance of dodging.
However, Zhou Chen’s opponent was clearly not an ordinary person. Her figure swayed, and she dodged Zhou Chen’s spear by a few millimeters. Then, she quickly approached Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen immediately retreated and smashed the spear into the woman’s head, forcing her to choose between dodging and being hit.
However, this woman’s approach was different from what Zhou Chen had expected. She extended her left hand and grabbed the spear shaft, making Zhou Chen feel a huge resistance.
‘Why is this woman so strong? Her eyesight and agility are also extraordinary. Looks like I’ve met my match.’
An ax appeared on Zhou Chen’s left hand to block the sword that was slashing at him.
However, the woman stopped her sword halfway.
“You’re not weak. I believe you are not that vampire’s servant.”
As she spoke, she sheathed her sword with one hand and let go of Zhou Chen’s spear.
Zhou Chen determined that this woman’s strength was not inferior to his. It would be difficult to take her down, so he stopped attacking and pulled back his spear.
“Tell me, where is the vampire’s aura from?”
The woman asked.
“Hehe, why should I tell you?”
Zhou Chen was speechless. This woman had just attacked him, and now she wanted to pretend like nothing had happened? How ridiculous.
The woman was stunned for a moment when she saw Zhou Chen’s expression. Then, she sighed slightly.
“Alright, I was too rash just now. I apologize.”
“Let me introduce myself. My name is Vera, and I’m a Dragonborn from the north. I am a little on edge because I took the mission to hunt a vampire today, so please forgive me for being unreasonable.”
“You’re a Dragonborn?”
Zhou Chen was surprised. He had thought that this woman was powerful, but he did not expect her to have such an identity as well.
“Of course, the far north is the homeland of our Dragonborn. Have you never heard of it?”
“No…”
Zhou Chen was calm when faced with the woman’s puzzled gaze. He had only been here for a few days and did not even know many paths. How could he know these things?
“Alright…”
The woman looked at Zhou Chen with an inexplicable expression.
“Please tell me the source of the vampire aura on you.”
“Alright, but you have to tell me the location of Red Valley City first.”
Zhou Chen felt that he could not continue to waste time with her.
“Red Valley City is in that direction. It’s less than half a day’s journey from here.”
The woman pointed in a direction near the northwest.
“Alright, the aura on me is from a vampire I killed not long ago. It’s in a sinkhole over there. If you hurry up, you should be able to find its corpse.”
Seeing that the woman had provided him with the information he wanted and that she did not seem to be lying, Zhou Chen also told her the truth.
“That vampire is already dead? With your strength, it’s indeed possible… but it might also be faking it.”

The woman mumbled.
“Thank you. I’ll go take a look.”
A violent stream of air erupted from her body. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from Zhou Chen’s vision.
“So fast… Could she really be a Dragonborn? But why does she look no different from a human? She doesn’t even have horns.”
Although this woman called herself a Dragonborn and her strength could not be underestimated, Zhou Chen did not believe it. He felt that she might be a narcissist. After all, a true Dragonborn should not have exposed their identity to strangers. That would be too stupid..
