Chapter 1061 Rufus Was Injured


    Crystal''s POV:


    The vampire moved swiftly and I followed closely behind him. His body slithered as quickly as a ck shadow. He briskly entered a forest, rushing


    into the dense woods


    It was getting darker now, and visibility was dropping. The vampire ran through the trees, and scon disappeared under the cover of the darkness.


    I turned back into my human form and entered the forest as well. The dark forest was covered in a thickyer of miasma, and the branches of the


    trees were connected to each other. They looked as if they had eyes, scrutinizing the people passing by closely.


    I was soon engulfed by the misty miasma. I felt as if I was going to lose all sense of space and time.


    I walked deeper into the forest, and then several human silhouettes appeared on the ground in front of me. As I got closer, I realized they were


    several corpses that were strewn about on the fallen leaves.


    I crouched down and turned over one body that had been face-down, wanting to get a look at his face. I spotted two huge bloody holes in the


    corpse''s neck


    I got to my feet and turned over several other bodies. All these stiff corpses had two ck holes in their necks and their bodies had been clearly


    sucked dry. Obviously, the vampires had murdered them.


    I was a little annoyed and smashed my fist into the ground heavily. ir was right. The vampires had managed to sneak into the imperial city. I didn''t


    know what had befallen Rufus, and that made me extremely worried.


    The feeling of uneasiness intensified. Although Rufus had brought a huge toon of soldiers with him and they were stronger than the spearhead


    army, I was still eager to locate him.


    The longer the dy, the more unfavorable the situation would be. Once darkness fell, the vampires’ would also be more energetic.


    I stood up and walked farther into the forest, ignoring the rapidly darkening sky.


    Soon, the faint sound of fighting from up ahead reached my ears. My heart clenched painfully, and I picked up my pace. When I reached the edge of


    the cliff. I spotted a group of people fightingThis content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    Although the skirmish was alittle


    distance away, I could easily


    recognize Rufus at the center of the.


    group ine@ne nce. He was ighting


    a group-of vampires with his men. I


    coulde nly see that a fierce battle


    was. Underway from the distance,


    bit they kept moving around, so I


    couldn''t gauge the specific situation.


    To avoid being spotted by Rufus, I hid behind a big tree that was a little away from the edge of the cliff. From the cover of the tree trunk, I saw Rufus


    standing safe and sound. My body sagged with relief.


    The numbers and skills of both sides


    were well-matshed. The sh was


    intense. Although Rufus was in an


    advantageous position, my intutti arr


    warned-Mme that ne wasn''t ina good


    condition right now. I had seernchim


    holdittg his chest with his hand


    several times. The vampire niext fe)


    him nearly struck him numerous


    times, and he dodged the attacks


    with difficulty.


    My gut churned ominously. Was Rufus not as good as he used to be? Normally, he wouldn''t make such a mistake.


    Maybe he had made these blunders by ident. I calmed my raging emotions down and watched the battle unblinkingly.


    It was only when he narrowly


    dodged two sessive attacks


    from the vampire that I was certain.


    he was gériously injured. His SS

    strikes were restrained. Everynow

    But it was too dark. If I wanted to see clearly, I would have to move forward a little. I hurriedly left the safety of my hiding spot and rushed ahead.
