Chapter 361 - 361. Vampire Territory
The sun was scorching hot, but that didn't stop them from heading to the gate bordering the Vampire Race.
Traveling for about an hour, they finally landed not far from their destination.
The situation there wasn't too crowded, the majority of the people were wearing red robes, so those wearing blue robes or something else looked very conspicuous.
Guarding the gate is very strict when compared to normal days. Maybe because of the chaos that happened yesterday in the city center.
Even those from the Vampire race had to go through various kinds of checks first.
But not for them, Elder Huang Bao's presence greatly helped Fu Xie Lan and the others through the gate without the slightest trouble.
"I might only be able to escort you all the way here," said Elder Huang Bao suddenly right after reporting that they were all about to enter the vampire race's territory.
"It's okay Master. This is more than enough," Fu Xie Lan replied immediately.
"Ah yes, I have acquaintances who might be able to help you when you need something in the area," said Elder Huang Bao.
"You can look for the Wang family and just say my name," he added.
"Even though I haven't seen him for a very long time, I'm still very sure that he hasn't forgotten me," he said again.
"If I may, I wonder what his name is, Master?" asked Fu Xie Lan.
"Wang Chu, head of the Wang family," replied the old man in a second.
"Very well, Master. Thank you."
Elder Huang Bao just nodded, "Take good care of yourself. Especially you 'Xie Lan', don't get hurt or bleed at all, because the Vampire race will be very sensitive to the smell of human blood," said Elder Huang Bao reminding them.
"We will protect her, Elder. Don't worry," Xue Ning interrupted.
"You too, don't do anything useless. Store the mana in your body don't use it in vain," Elder Huang Bao retorted turning to where Xue Ning was.
Who was spoken to just laughed crisply while rubbing the nape of the neck that didn't itch? "According to the Elder's request, I will comply," she said.
"Alright, is there anything you want to ask before leaving?" asked Elder Huang Bao again.
"I don't think there is anymore, Master," said Fu Xie Lan.
"Fine, then you guys go. The gatekeeper has been waiting for you for a long time," said Elder Huang Bao.
"Let's go first, Master."
"Erm, be careful. I'm waiting for you to come back," said Elder Huang Bao again letting the five people leave.
Waiting for them to disappear behind the gate, a rough sigh came from the old man's mouth. Somehow he found it hard to let them all go, he was sure that without them around him his daily life would be very different.
Slowly but surely he turned from there, again using his wand to search for the City Master's whereabouts.

Set foot for the first time in Vampire territory, nothing special like when she entered Fairy territory. Everything that entered Fu Xie Lan's sight seemed normal.
There was no difference at all from the magician's territory she had always seen.
The Vampire race that seemed to be wandering around them could only be counted on the fingers.
But they didn't hesitate to stare at the five Blue-robed people who had just passed through the gate.
What was in front of them at this time was a very wide meadow, and after that, there was a forest that was so dense.
Fu Xie Lan's violet eyes immediately flashed and scanned everything around her without a hitch.
She could see a village that was so wide behind the dense forest there.
"Xie-Xie Lan, why do they look us?" Xue Ning stuttered in a half-whispered voice.
"As long as it doesn't bother you, then just ignore it," Fu Xie Lan responded without turning her head to where the girl was.
"Alright," Xue Ning replied as much as possible avoiding coming face to face with those around her.
"It's getting late now, we better hurry," said Fu Xie Lan taking the first step.
"Maybe it's better if we just fly, Xie Lan," now it was Wan Lie's turn to speak.
"I don't want our existence to be so conspicuous," Fu Xie Lan retorted.
"Enough with this robe that makes us the center of attention," she added again.
"Alright, as per your wish, Xie Lan," Wan Lie replied.
They all crossed the meadow on foot only, towards the dense forest that was not far from their current position.
Fu Xie Lan, who walked first, stepped with such certainty as if she was not afraid that she would get lost. And that made Ju Xian wonder, but he just kept it to himself without revealing it.
Until they entered the dense forest, the atmosphere they had felt before suddenly changed.
Stepped foot in the forest, very quiet, no sound of any animal should be heard. Even the wind that blew a moment ago was no longer felt. However, they are not hot in the slightest.
The trees lined up. The leaves were thick to the point where sunlight could not penetrate. So the atmosphere in the forest is a bit dark.
'Miss,' Hao called suddenly and managed to make the girl lower her gaze, looking at the magic beast spirite curled up in her arms.
'Why? did you find anything?' asked Fu Xie Lan through her mind.
'On your right, Miss,' said the little fluffy creature again.
Immediately Fu Xie Lan turned her head in the direction Hao was referring to.
Stunned, Fu Xie Lan suddenly stopped in her steps when her eyes caught something very familiar to her.
To her right, right on a tree branch that was only a few centimeters above her head, a bird was perched there.
And it was the bird that was with her when she was still in Fairy's territory.
Those who saw Fu Xie Lan suddenly stopped, joined in doing the same.
"What's wrong Xie Lan?" Wan Lie asked.
Fu Xie Lan who heard Wan Lie's voice only glanced at the man. Then stepped towards the tree where the bird was.
In her heart, she kept wondering, why the bird could be here? Did the creature follow her?
Previously when the Core Region collapsed, Fu Xie Lan had thought that the bird was one of the victims who might not survive. Although in her heart she kept hoping the winged creature would be okay.
And it turns out her wish came true. The bird was still alive and unharmed.
Wan Lie and the other three were a little confused by Fu Xie Lan's behavior.
While on the other hand, the girl slowly raised one of her hands, and at that very moment, the bird jumped onto her index finger and perched on it.
"Long time no see little friend."
