Chapter 236 He was buried in this sea!

In the dense and deep jungle, a small and elegant wooden house is built under the tall tree canopy.

The overcast sky made the forest seem a little damp and stuffy, and the wind blowing through the leaves carried a fishy smell, as if this place was close to the sea.

Click!

The wooden stake broke with a sound. A man in a vest was chopping wood with an axe. The firewood was piled up on the side and was about half a person's height.

"Dad, have you seen Bena?"

A clear and pleasant voice came from behind the man. The man wiped the sweat from his forehead, with a warm smile on his face, and looked lovingly at the girl who was running towards him.

"Maybe she went to the beach again? To pay tribute to Grandpa and..."

The man did not say the next sentence, but just shook his head and sighed.

"Ah, I'll go check it out. Mom said we should stay out of the woods less often these days."

After saying that, the girl was about to run out of the woods, and the man had a look of worry on his face.

"Eve, come back as soon as you find Bena!"

"Okay, Dad!"

However, in just a moment of turning around, Eve's delicate face was filled with excitement, and she ran subconsciously. After leaving the man's sight, her speed suddenly increased, and she shuttled through the tall treetops with an extremely exaggerated agility.

Hearing the noise disappearing at the edge of the woods, the man chopped the wooden stake with his axe, a look of slight worry on his face.

……

Click!

The sound of branches breaking echoed in the silent woods. Looking at the bright environment ahead, Eve's eyes lit up. She had finally arrived.

At this moment, a slender figure was facing away from her, with his arms around his knees, staring blankly at the endless sea.

Eve tiptoed towards the girl quietly with a strange smile on her face.

The girl seemed to be immersed in the beauty of the sea and was unaware of the footsteps approaching from behind.

Until she was less than half a meter behind the girl, a smug expression appeared on Eve's face. The next moment, she pounced on the girl in front of her like a hungry tiger.

However, just as she was about to move, in a flash, the girl who seemed to be completely unaware suddenly turned around, dodged to the side, and suddenly wrapped her arms around Eve's neck, and threw her head back with a clean and neat throw.

"what!"

Eve couldn't help but let out a soft cry of pain as her body hit the ground. She screamed repeatedly at the oncoming fist. The girl obviously realized something, and her fist stopped just in front of Eve's face.

"Eve, could you not come up behind me quietly next time?"

"Bena! How come you react so quickly? Alas... I failed again!"

After helping Eve up, Bena turned her head again, her eyes fixed on the sea.

"I've been learning from Sister Selina for so long, so I naturally know some fighting skills! But you, Eve, you're already an adult, you can't be so lax anymore."

Looking at Bena with a serious expression, Eve curled her lips.

As if she noticed that Bena's face looked a little bad, she quickly became serious again.

"I got it, sister!"

"Don't forget what happened last time!"

Bena couldn't help but remind her.

"Um……"

Eve stared blankly at the sea with her pale face, feeling a little unhappy.

"It's been more than ten years since the last incident. Those guys can't still be chasing me, right?"

"If you keep this mentality, you will kill yourself sooner or later! If it wasn't for Uncle Kraven last time, you would have been captured by those vampires!"

"..."

"I don't know when I can be truly free... Mom, why do you insist on looking for that vampire elder? It seems that the only thing that that guy cares about is killing."

"No, she was doing it to fulfill God's will!"

"God? Sister Bena, what era is it now? Why are you still thinking about that so-called God? If he is really that powerful, he wouldn't be hiding somewhere!"

Eve's face turned annoyed. From childhood to adulthood, she had seen a lot of blood and gore. People around her had died and left, but the only thing that remained unchanged was the legend of that person.

She was actually very curious about what kind of existence could be called a god. She admired it very much when she was young, but now that she had grown up, she had different ideas.

"Eve, do you know why Amelia is so powerful? How were you born successfully? And why did Uncle Craven, who was originally hunting your parents, protect you?"

Finally unable to hold back any longer, Bena decided to speak out what was hidden in her heart. She felt that Eve shouldn't look at that person in that way!
With eyes wide open, Eve looked at Bena who was staring at her with unprecedented seriousness. It was the first time she saw Bena like this. Suddenly, her expression changed. "No, why would Uncle Craven hunt down my parents?"

"Heh, he was originally a subordinate of the vampire elder Victor. At that time, he was ordered to hunt down your parents, but he ended up meeting God. Later, you probably knew that your smooth birth, not only your life, but even your current stability were all gifts from God! Eve, you are the one who should thank God the most!"

Looking at Eve who seemed to be at a loss, Bena sighed softly and rubbed Eve's head. Her eyes were filled with memories as she looked into the distance at the boundless sea.

"…Isn't it because she is one of the three great elders of vampires that Amelia is so powerful?"

With a conflicted look on her face, Eve couldn't help but ask again. She had seen that incomparably powerful being since she was born, and she always believed that Amelia was the most powerful person in the world.

But now, Bena suddenly told her that it seemed that even Amelia's strength was related to that mysterious god.

The memories in her mind inevitably went back to more than ten years ago, when Bena's grandfather was still alive and often described the greatness of God to the young her. The old words poured out from the depths of her memory.

'With a wave of his hand, all the vampires showed fear on their faces. Wherever he looked, the weather and clouds changed. He just stood there, and all the demons and monsters dared not approach him...'

Isn't that a fantasy caused by excessive worship?
"Amelia has become so powerful because she received a gift from God. She is so powerful that the despicable so-called vampire ancestor has to hide himself as much as possible. She is so powerful that the chief elder of the vampire clan is so frightened that he has no choice but to go. She is even so powerful that those werewolves who have not yet subsided their wildness are looking for their ancestors everywhere in an attempt to get her protection!"

Bena looked a little excited. She didn't understand these things before, but after the old man passed away, she seemed to mature overnight.

And that figure will never disappear from her heart!
"If he's so powerful, why is he hiding now?"

Eve suppressed her inner excitement and was somewhat confused.

"Do you know why we are hiding here?"

"Is this place hidden?"

Seeing Bena's admiring look, Eve's eyes widened. An incredible idea suddenly popped up in her mind. She asked again with some trembling, "Is he here?"

She looked around in panic. When she was a child, she had heard countless descriptions of that man from her father, mother and even Bena's grandfather. In fact, without realizing it, that man had long become Eve's deepest salvation, the savior she had been looking forward to countless nights in her childhood. However, as time passed and she was disappointed again and again, she finally buried this strange feeling deep in her heart.

Now...thump, plop!
Eve could clearly feel her heart beating wildly, and she was waiting for Bena's response.

"He... was buried in this sea..."

"..."

The air suddenly became silent, and Eve's originally cheerful expression quickly declined at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Sister Selina has never told you this because she doesn't want you to give up hope..."

"Well... Actually, I guessed it a long time ago. Since he is so powerful and has helped my parents more than once, but has never appeared in front of me..."

The fantasies hidden deep in her heart were finally completely shattered. Eve followed Bena's gaze and looked at the sea. Ripples appeared in her heart. Seeing the waves again day after day, her mentality of appreciating the beautiful scenery changed. She seemed to see the figure of that god. He seemed to be standing in the middle of the sea with a smile in his eyes... mysterious and powerful, the unknown made her yearn for it!

"Can I ask how he died? After all, he was so... so powerful!"

"Nuclear bomb...close-range bombing."

"..."

Eve opened her mouth slightly and looked at the sea in front of her, her heart couldn't calm down.

……

The bright moonlight illuminated the sparkling waves, and the two girls, both with heavy hearts, walked towards the forest.

On the asphalt road dozens of kilometers away from them.

One after another, black off-road jeeps passed by quickly. A man with pale blue eyes scanned the dark jungle. He was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a submachine gun. He picked up the walkie-talkie at his side.

As the signal was connected, the rustling sound of electricity spread throughout the silent car.

"Everyone! Check your guns!"

"..."

The convoy's speed became slower and slower until they reached an intersection. Instead of choosing one of the roads, they headed straight for the woods in the middle.

As the bushes became denser, all the cars stopped.

boom……

The car doors closed and the soldiers dispersed toward the woods.

The man at the front was looking at the latitude and longitude map in his hand while carefully looking around. Under his leadership, the group of soldiers were slowly moving towards the place where Michael and others were hiding.

……

The chirping of birds and insects echoed in the silent jungle. Even in the dark night, the forest was not peaceful. On the tall treetops, one man after another in black windbreakers and hoods made no sound, staring quietly at the soldiers slowly approaching under the tree.

A person gently groped for the headset beside him, tapping his fingers on it quickly, as if sending some kind of signal...
