Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman
Chapter 262 Rex’s Plan

-----

You have activated Vampire Ability: Cell Regeneration!

You have activated Vampire Ability: Blood Rejuvenation!

----

Whoosh!

The tree leaves waved as a blood-red silhouette moved swiftly across the forest like a nightmare haunting the day.

A bloody red streak was left in the skies as Rex went after the 2 horse-riding Apes with speed. Despite the fact that he could not see them yet, through the blood imprint that he left on them, he was able to deduce their location.

With the Blood Flight ability active, his speed was otherworldly.

After the initial burst of speed by the 2 Hell Horses, both horses already slowed down and were now even slower than before.

Apparently, that burst of speed did not come without a price.

For 20 minutes, Rex pursued them deep into the Great Ape Forest until his blood imprint finally indicated to him that he was getting closer to them.

-----

You have activated Vampire Ability: Heightened Sense!

----

Once this ability was activated, Rex's senses became even more heightened. His sight improved to such a ridiculous level that everything became clearer to him.

His eyes like the radar of an army penetrated the forest and saw across kilometers to where the 2 horse-riding Apes were currently escaping.

As soon as he laid his eyes on them, Rex finally reduced his speed a bit to match theirs, he followed them while keeping his distance.

He didn't just do this, he knew that Swift Spear was following from behind.

The first horse-riding Ape that they killed wielded an ancient wooden spear while the 2nd wielded an ancient Axe. Rex took the spear after killing the Ape but left the Axe since he went in pursuit of the 2 beasts.

Though he already had a glimpse of the attributes of the spear when his system just notified him about it, Rex still had a hard time believing that the spear that the Ape used was a myth grade weapon.

It perhaps explained the ridiculous strength of the horse-riding Apes.

Rex decided to check the weapon's status again.

After looking through the attributes of the spear, Rex was completely short of words. "Where did those Apes get such badass weapons?"

This discovery first increased the mystery of the Ape community of the Great Ape Forest to him and it also made him fear them a bit.

Through the words of his system, the call of the ape ancestor special ability enabled whoever its wielder was to call upon the power of ape sages who were present and blessed the spear during its creation.

For a long time, though humanity already learned the hard way that mystic beasts could form their own communities, the Great Ape Forest was still always believed to be a savage forest filled with savage Apes.

Beast groups that formed communities were part of the greatest threats to humanity since singlehandedly, they could deal a lot of damage to humans.

If the system was correct, that meant that there was a community of Apes in the Great Ape Forest. Rex dread the mere thought of them invading as one.

This discovery made him improvise his plans again.

'The truth is getting deeper than expected'.

…

Whoosh!

4 minutes later, Swift Spear finally caught up.

As soon as she saw him upfront, she increased her speed to move closer to him. "Did you lose them?"

"No". Rex turned to face her. "Stop, I want to tell you something".

Since there was no time, Rex did not make anything complicated. As soon as they stopped, he went straight to the point. "I have a plan".

"Because of all the coincidences that took place which all culminated and led to this invasion, my hunch tells me that someone was behind the invasion".

"To trigger an invasion of this scale, he is definitely no simple warrior".

"I didn't just follow after the Apes to kill them, I want to follow them to see if they have a hideout and to try my luck if I will see the culprit".

Swift Spear was surprised as she looked at Rex.

Before she could speak though, Rex beat her to it again. "Take". He brought the familiar spear that Swift Spear already saw some time ago.

"I got it from the first horse-riding Ape that we killed".

"It is a myth grade spear".

Without even hearing Rex out, just a mere look at the spear already told her all that she needed to know. She took the spear reverently as she admired it.

She turned to look at Rex. "I have never used a myth grade weapon once".

Rex smiled. "Welcome to our league then".

He looked straight at her and finally made his offer. "I'm giving you the spear as a gift but I want your help in infiltrating the Ape territory".

"I don't know how their community is or how dangerous it is, and I don't know how dangerous the culprit may be also".

"If you are with me, my chances of victory will be higher?"

"Please, will you help me?" He looked her in the eye.

Swift Spear looked down at the spear that was on her hand then back up at Rex, she nodded. "I can help you".

"Good, thank you".

Without hesitation, Rex activated the Blood Flight mystic effect again as he set off this time with Swift Spear following behind him.

He upped the speed and in just 4 minutes, they met the 2 Apes.

"None of you shall escape today!" Rex yelled as he pounced on them.
