The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 64: The Coffin’s Secret
An old house. Almost like a palace. It could be seen faintly through the gaps in the trees. If you didn’t look carefully, you wouldn’t even realize the palace was there but Tania spotted it. Her sharp eyes deserve praise. Not just her eyes, but her focus also deserves credit—otherwise, it would be unfair to her. Because everyone has sight, but not everyone sees everything. In this case, it’s the mind’s eye that matters.Everyone was watching with interest. They pointed at the laptop screen with their fingers, showing each other. Max was also looking in that direction."Max," Tania said."Yes, go ahead," Max replied without taking his eyes off the laptop screen."Can you bring the drone down?""There’s a risk, but I can do it.""Alright, go ahead and do it."Max made the drone circle over the area several times. He looked for a spot to bring it down. The trees here were incredibly dense, leaving no sufficient open space to land. Finally, he found a clearing just large enough for the dr
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 65: A Night in the Jungle
The sound of the alarm woke everyone up, bright and early. After freshening up in the washroom, they all headed downstairs. Elisha and Luna went straight to the kitchen to heat the food they prepared the previous day to save time. The others sat in the dining room, waiting.In no time, Luna and Eliza brought the food to the dining table.It was only then that they realized Tulip wasn’t with them.“Hey, where’s Tulip?” Max asked. “Is she still asleep?”“If she were up, she’d be here,” Jack replied.“I’ll go get her,” Luna said as she climbed the spiral staircase to the upper floor.Standing outside Tulip’s room, Luna called out a few times, but there was no response from inside. Finally, she knocked on the door, which opened instantly—it had been left ajar.Peeking inside, Luna saw no sign of Tulip. She guessed Tulip might be in the bathroom. Taking a seat on the chair beside the bedside lamp, she called out, “Hey Tulip, are you in the bathroom?”There was no response from inside.She
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 66: A Test of Endurance
It was quite a while, but Max still hadn’t returned. This shouldn’t be taking this long. Had he run into trouble? Luna felt a strange unease in her chest. She waited another minute or so, then softly called out Max's name. She spoke quietly, worried that shouting would wake the others. But there was no response from Max. Had he not heard her? If he was nearby, he should have. If he wasn’t around, then where had he gone?Luna became certain that Max must be in some kind of trouble. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken this long. She brushed away all doubts and began heading in the direction Max had gone. She carried a powerful flashlight in her hand, lighting up everything clearly. In the beam of light, she spotted Max’s annihilation guitar leaning against a tree. Luna knew right away that Max was there, and maybe he still was, hidden behind the tree.Luna moved a little further, stopping beside the tree to call Max's name again. But once again, there was no response. So, he wasn’t behind
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 67: The Return of Cassie
They sat under a tree. It was because of Eliza that they were forced to stop. Eliza was in bad shape. She was burning up with fever. Both her legs were swollen. She could hardly walk due to intense pain."I've really put all of you in danger, haven't I?" Eliza said in a shameful voice."Yeah, you have," Tania replied with bitterness, turning her face away. "I told you not to go, but you didn't listen. Now you see. Not only did you get into trouble, but you've also put us all in danger.""Oh, come on, just be quiet," Jack said, raising his hand. "What's done is done. We can't keep worrying about it now.""He's right," Luna agreed. "Now we need to figure out how to get out of this.""We can't just take Eliza like this," Peter said.Everyone frowned and looked at him. "What do you mean 'can't take her'?" Jack asked. "Are you saying we should leave her here?""No, no," Peter quickly waved his hands. "What are you saying? Leave her here?""Then what do you suggest we do?""I mean... can’t
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 68: The Silent Threat
They became quite absorbed in a lively conversation while working at the camp. No one thought about Jack or Tania. Meanwhile, Jack was lost in thought, gazing at the evening sky. Among the thick trees, he discovered a small patch of open sky. He was enjoying every inch of that ten feet of sky to the fullest. And the sky itself... it was something else. Even in such a small space, it radiated all its beauty. It was impossible to look away.After a while, suddenly, they remembered Tania. "Oh, Tania hasn’t come yet," Peter said out loud."Yeah, that’s true," Luna said. "It shouldn’t take this long.""Is she in any trouble?" Peter glanced at Tania's backpack. He noticed the annihilation gun pressed inside. He got up and grabbed it. Showing it to them, he said, "She didn’t bring her weapon. And it’s evening now. She said she’d be back in half an hour."A worried frown appeared on their faces. "And what’s Jack doing over there?" Eliza pointed at Jack.Luna knew Jack well. She knew exactly w
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 50: Harry’s Trick
The boy is about their age. He might be a year or a year and a half older. Red hair. A face filled with brown freckles. His eyes are closed in pain. After Jack, Max, and Tulip rushed over. Lisa arrived a little later. She was supposed to be the first one to come. After all, the boy was closest to her. Luna was seen running over. Eliza and Peter followed behind, walking.Jack was quite shaken seeing the boy’s condition. Looking at Max and Tulip’s faces, he realized they were also shaken. However, it seemed that nothing had happened to Lisa, Eliza, and Peter. In fact, they had an expression of annoyance on their faces.“He needs to go to the hospital,” Jack said.“He doesn’t need to go anywhere,” Peter said, in an indifferent tone.Jack was surprised by Peter’s words. He furrowed his brows and asked, “Why?”“Because he’s fine,” Lisa answered.Jack couldn’t understand what they were saying. Finally, he said a bit more forcefully, “What are you all talking about? The boy is seriously inju
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 69: Midnight Conversations
The vampire was lying right in front of them. But it was no longer alive. Dead. And it could no longer drink anyone's blood. Right beside the vampire sat the two of them. Jack and Peter. They were panting from exhaustion. Their entire bodies were drenched in sweat. The strain on their muscles was nothing compared to the pressure on their nerves.Just moments ago, their nerves were so tense that if anything happened, they might have snapped. So much happened in the past few moments.From behind, the vampire grabbed Peter. Meanwhile, Jack stood in front, holding the annihilation gun. But there was nothing he could do. Like Peter, he was helpless. He could have used the annihilation gun, but if he did, both the vampire and Peter would be destroyed. He would lose his dear friend. When nothing else came to mind, Jack took a risk. In fact, it was the only option he had left.He aimed the annihilation gun at them with one hand while slowly lowering the torch in the other. He took out his
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 70: The Campfire and the Shadows
After walking for quite some time, they arrived at a somewhat open area. The trees were not very dense here. The sunlight was present. There was no need to turn on the torches anymore. They turned off the torches. Surprisingly, none of them had thought of Eliza until now.Jack was very thirsty. The water bottle was with Eliza. And that's when they realized she wasn't with them anymore. A cold wave of panic ran down their spines."Hey, where's Eliza?" Jack exclaimed."She was right behind me," Luna said."Then where did she go?"They didn’t know the answer to this question. So, no one said anything else. Jack didn’t get to drink water. They turned around and started running back toward the dark forest. They knew the chances of finding Eliza were very low. Still, they couldn’t bring themselves to believe it. She couldn’t just be taken away from them like this, in broad daylight. They stopped running when they reached the thick trees. They began shining their torches around. But they saw

Chapter 93: Burning Tracks and Blood Trails
A monstrous creature hurled Luke into the air. He landed on a seat beside the window, crying out in pain. Moments later, he saw them running away. He felt a surge of happiness, knowing he was saving his friends at the cost of his own life—what could be more gratifying?One of the monsters grabbed Luke by the throat, cutting off his air. He gasped for breath, struggling and flailing to break free, but couldn't escape that powerful grip. Deprived of oxygen, his head began to spin. A few more moments like this, and he would be dead. Ceasing his futile thrashing, he groped around, hoping to find something to strike the monster with. His hand touched a sharp metal rod. He grabbed it and thrust it into the monster's eye. The creature roared so loudly that Luke's eardrums felt like they might burst. The monster released him, and Luke gulped in air. At that moment, another monster attacked, sending him flying. He found himself in the engine room. Quickly regaining his composure, he slammed th
Chapter 92: The Fangs of Fate
Jack had been gone for quite a while in search of water. His prolonged absence began to worry them."Could it be that Jack's in trouble?" Orin wondered."Why is he taking so long?" Lily's voice was filled with anxiety. "I hope he hasn't run into any danger.""I don't know." Orin shook his head uncertainly."How about we search the area around us?" Lily suggested."That could be done," Orin agreed. "But I think we should wait a bit longer."Lily looked at Orin inquisitively. "Why?""Imagine we go out looking for him, and he returns in the meantime. If he doesn't find us here, he'll get worried and start searching for us. It's better if we wait a little longer to see if he comes back."Orin's reasoning made sense. Lily agreed, feeling it was best to wait a bit more.Just a couple of yards away from Jack, the king of cobras, the King Cobra, sat coiled. Its menacing hood was raised, eyes fixed on Jack. The snake's eyes were a vivid red, as if painted with a deep crimson hue. Typically, Ki
Chapter 91: A Sip of Danger
They kept running without a break. Their bodies couldn’t take it anymore. The muscles in their legs had gone stiff, almost numb. The strain was pressing down on their ligaments — any more running and it felt like they might snap.Suddenly, Orin came to a stop. Bending over, hands on his knees, he gasped, “I can’t go any further.” He was panting heavily. Seeing him stop, Jack and Lily halted as well, collapsing onto the ground. For a while, no one spoke. The only sound was their ragged breathing.“I can’t take another step,” Lily finally broke the silence.“Me neither,” Orin agreed. Jack stayed quiet, though his legs were just as drained. It dawned on them that they had ventured deep into the jungle. The trees here were denser, their canopies so thick that barely any sunlight reached the forest floor. The ground was damp, and everything around them felt moist. It rained here almost year-round, making the humidity sky-high. The air felt heavy, with over eighty percent humidity, making t
Chapter 90: The Fire before Dawn
"Hey!" someone shouted. The monsters all turned towards the sound. Jack and Luke stood there, each holding two torches. The torches were made by wrapping cloth around the head of a metal wrench and soaking it in petrol. Jo, Orin, and Lily saw them too. A smile spread across Lily's face. Luke hurled one torch at the monsters. Flames engulfed their bodies. Luke lit another torch with his lighter. Jack handed Jo a metal rod and told him to open the door with it. Meanwhile, Luke and Jack fought to keep the monsters at bay. Jo shoved the rod into the door and twisted it hard. The door creaked open. One by one, Jo, Orin, and Lily scrambled through. Jack and Luke stayed behind, holding off the monsters."Go!" Luke shouted. "I’ll handle them.""But I won’t leave you behind," Jack protested."Don’t worry about me." Luke drove the metal rod into one monster's eye. "Just go. Go!"But Jack refused to leave Luke alone. Luke realized Jack wouldn’t go willingly, so he shoved him through the door. Ja

Chapter 88: The Final Light
"Okay, do you think we can make it back from here?" Orin asked.Joe didn’t say anything in response. He was leaning over the engine. He looked outside through the windshield. The moon had become dull. It was no longer shining. Everything was covered in darkness.Lily placed her hand on Orin’s shoulder. Orin jumped, startled. He turned to look at Lily. He smiled. A lifeless smile.Lily smiled too. "Of course, we’ll make it back."Luke was lying under the train, fixing the fuel gauge leak. He was being helped by Jack."Pass me the wrench," Luke said.Jack handed the wrench to Luke. "Where did Matthew go?" Luke muttered."How much longer will it take?" Jack asked, changing the subject. He was holding the flashlight."Almost done," Luke replied."It’ll be good once it’s done," muttered Jack.At that moment, somewhere far off, an unknown creature let out a sorrowful cry. Jack’s hand, holding the flashlight, shook. He didn’t understand why it was shaking. Luke looked at Jack. He guessed tha

Orin was startled. "Jenny, what's happened to you?" he asked with a fearful voice. Jenny didn’t answer. She kept growling like an animal."Let me see!" The old man shoved John forward. "Jenny, what's wrong with you?" He shook Jenny’s shoulder and asked. Jenny looked back at the old man. "Open the door. Let me go," she kept saying."Calm down, Jenny." The old man placed his hand on Jenny’s shoulder. "Everything will be okay.""Nothing will be okay," John said. He had a metal range in his hand. He moved forward. "Jenny is no longer a normal human. She's transforming into a monster. We have to kill her.""Get away from me." The old man growled. John didn’t back off. He moved closer. "Look, Mr.," he tried to convince the old man, "Jenny won’t get better. If she stays alive, we’ll all die at her hands."But the old man didn’t understand. He became enraged. "If you take one more step forward, I’ll smash your head in," he shouted."But I can't die for her," John said, and moved towards Jenny
Chapter 86: Secrets of the Past
Even though everyone else rushed off in panic, Orin stood still, bewildered. He couldn’t figure out what to do. That didn’t go unnoticed by Jo. He rushed towards Orin to save him. By then, the monster had reached Orin. Jo grabbed Orin and pulled him away. In trying to save Orin, Jo himself got into trouble. He stumbled and fell to the floor. The monster moved closer. There was no escape left. He waited for certain death. The monster leaned in close to Jo’s face and roared. Terrified, Jo shut his eyes. At that moment, the monster froze. Jo opened his eyes in surprise to see what had stopped it. In the next moment, he saw Orin had thrust a metal sheet into the monster’s belly.The monster threw Orin away with its powerful hand. Orin was flung far across the room. Just then, Jack struck the monster’s head with a metal rod. The monster turned to face him. From behind, Jon hit it with a cylinder.

Chapter 85: Paul’s Last Knock
"A window iron mesh was being installed by Jack. But it kept falling down again and again. To help him, Luke stepped forward. Together, they managed to install the mesh. Jack thanked Luke. A smile spread across Luke's face. This was the second time he smiled today. Just like the first time, his smile was wonderful. Just as his face was beautiful, his smile was just as charming. If Jack were a girl, by now she would have fallen in love with Luke."You're a very smart boy," Luke said.In response, Jack smiled and said, "There's no need for so much praise. Intelligence is in everyone's mind. Some can make use of it, some can't. The one who can use it, we call him smart, and the one who can't, we call him foolish."Until now, Luke had been listening to Jack's words, absorbed. As soon as he finished speaking, it was like he came back to reality. "I knew you were smart, but this much, I couldn't have guessed.""There’s still a lot of work left," Jack said, changing the topic.He didn’t like
