Chapter 8: Is being too clever for one's own good a mistake?



"Too clever by half."

Zhang Xiande shook his head. Qin Sheng's description of the Vampire Mother Scythe was not wrong, but the mistake was that it was not a real combat scenario.

In actual combat, targeting and killing the mother scythe is indeed the correct decision.

If the Mother Scythe is allowed to absorb blood, Ye Bufan and his group will only be wiped out given their current strength.

But this is a test.

The principal cannot allow students to actually die on campus.

Even the ordinary vampire scythes are inspected, and each one is eaten until it is 80% full before being placed on campus, to ensure that students will not be in mortal danger if attacked.

They also brought in Zhang Xiande, an outstanding graduate, to conceal the unconscious student's presence and prevent him from being attacked by other vampire scythes.

Under such protection, it's impossible to allow the Vampire Mother Scythe to roam freely.

The seal applied not only immobilizes the Vampire Mother Scythe, but also prevents the Vampire Scythe from offering blood.

To prevent the vampire scythe from falling back into a state of hunger after donating all its blood, thus causing casualties.

"Unfortunately, Qin Sheng didn't know this was a test. Staying in the lecture hall and waiting for the test to end would have been the best choice."

Zhang Xiande frowned slightly, watching Ye Bufan and the others prepare their weapons with a thoughtful expression.

Something felt off.

"Xiao Zhang, isn't it about time?"

The principal's voice interrupted Zhang Xiande's thoughts, bringing him back to his senses.

"Principal, your students are not content with just playing defensively."

Surprise flashed in the principal's eyes. "They're going to find the Mother Scythe?" he asked in astonishment.

"Yes, what follows is sure to be very exciting."

"Then what are we waiting for?"

"ah?"

The principal urged, "Hurry up and get your reconnaissance plane out! I want to watch the live broadcast!"

Zhang Xiande: "..."

"That's used for surveying in the wilderness, it's very energy-intensive, you know."

The principal's face immediately fell, and he burst into tears, saying, "My words carry no weight anymore, old man. Back in the day, I even gave you special tutoring, I even..."

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Zhang Xiande was embarrassed: "You are the principal, you have the final say."

"Hmph, you little brat, I can't handle you."

The principal was extremely proud

"I am a descendant of the post-00s generation. I could cook at the age of three, was proficient in all kinds of housework at the age of four, and started earning money at the age of five, which made my parents feel like they were living in a comfortable position."

Zhang Xiande's mouth twitched.

Principal, are you alright?

...

On the other side, Ye Bufan, having finished instructing his classmates, also left the classroom.

The seven people outside the door all turned their gazes toward him.

Wang Xiaopang, Qin Sheng, Yu Lili and his friends, and three classmates who volunteered.

"Let's go!"

Leading seven people, they left the building with great pride and high spirits.

But then, an awkward situation arose...

"Um...where are we going to find a vampire scythe that's full of food?" Ye Bufan asked awkwardly.

Qin Sheng sighed: "Just catch one at random, and feed each person a little blood."

"Great idea!" Wang Xiaopang praised.

“Ah…” Yu Lili exclaimed.

"Hurry up."

Qin Sheng urged them on, and soon the group encountered a group of vampire scythes hunting. However, under the protagonist's halo, they were quickly wiped out by Ye Bufan, leaving only one scythe in his hand.

"Old Fan, you can skip this," Wang Xiaopang reminded him. "You still have to fight the Mother Scythe, so stay in shape."

"OK."

Ye Bufan didn't stand on ceremony and let the Vampire Scythe taste different flavors of blood, which could be considered a buffet.

With a thud, the scythe, having eaten its fill, began to struggle free.

"Let's hurry up and leave, lest we attract other vampire scythes."

Yu Lili covered the wound on her arm and spoke with some dissatisfaction.

They continued forward in one direction, and perhaps because that was the location of the Mother Scythe, none of the Vampire Scythes along the way showed any intention of attacking them.

As the vampire scythes appeared more and more frequently, Ye Bufan realized that they were getting very close to the mother scythe.

"arrive."

Ye Bufan stopped and looked solemnly at the black shadow in the distance, which was shrouded in black and resembled a giant egg.

"A martial arts arena?" Wang Xiaopang was taken aback. "That makes sense. It's always empty when there are no events."

"Isn't something wrong?"

Yu Lili asked in confusion, "Aren't there vampire scythes over there? Why are they all wrapped around that egg?"

Ye Bufan turned his gaze to Qin Sheng, who also frowned and shook his head: "I don't know."

"Never mind."

Ye Bufan took a deep breath: "As long as we solve this, all the students will be safe, right?"

The question was directed at Qin Sheng, but the eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses showed no emotion, only a calm reply.

"right."

The stage is set; whoever takes the stage last will be the star.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, we can't spoil the fun."

With a gentle tug, Zhang Xiande released the seal that bound the Mother Scythe.

In an instant, the black egg in everyone's eyes shattered, and a pair of huge wings suddenly opened, revealing a membrane covered with red patterns, like some kind of eerie magic circle.

At the same time, a sharp sound rang out, seemingly able to pierce people's eardrums, causing everyone to instinctively cover their ears.

Unaffected, Ye Bufan finally saw the true appearance of the Mother Scythe.

It resembled an enlarged bat, and its mouthful of fangs sent chills down one's spine. Its slender ears twitched, and the next second, its scarlet eyes were fixed on Ye Bufan and the others.

It has found them!

“The process of blood-drinking is equivalent to human cultivation, and it cannot be interfered with by external forces,” Zhang Xiande muttered to himself.
