The sheep fled in panic, their bleating sounds were endless, and the blood on the white wool kept dripping.
"Damn it, we can't let these sheep get away!"
Lorna frowned. These sheep were important assets of the shelter. If they all ran away, it would be a heavy loss for the shelter.
"That's what's coming."
Logan looked at the running sheep, frowning at the blood stains on the wool.
The amount of bleeding on these wools was abnormal, and the sheep thief did not look like an ordinary creature.
"Marcus and John are still in the sheepfold!"
Lorna suddenly thought of the two people in the sheepfold and instantly became nervous.
After Logan pondered for a while, he said to Klaus: "You and the others go to herd the sheep. Lorna and I will go to the sheepfold to see what's going on."
After saying that, he ran towards the sheepfold, and Lorna and Victor behind him quickly followed.
As soon as they got close to the sheepfold, the three of them saw Marcus and John walking out cursing, with a lot of blood on their bodies, but it didn't look like their blood.
"How's it going? Did you catch that guy?"
Lorna stepped forward anxiously and asked.
Logan and Victor rushed into the sheepfold to check the situation. At this time, the sheepfold was in a mess, the hay on the ground was messed up, and there was a lot of blood on it.
A lamb lay motionless on the ground, with a huge gash in its belly. The white wool was covered with bright red blood, its internal organs were scattered all over the floor, and a strong smell of blood permeated it.
"Damn it, let that guy get away and kill a sheep!"
While wiping the blood on his body, Marcus looked at the dead sheep in the sheepfold with a look of regret.
Including the previous three, this is already the fourth sheep. The loss is really too great.
"What exactly is going on?"
Logan leaned down to check on the lamb, his brows furrowed, and what he saw made him feel that things were not that simple.
"John and I were hiding in a nearby tree to observe, but suddenly we saw a person approaching quickly, and in a few seconds he climbed up the window of the sheepfold and got in."
Marcus pointed to the window of the sheepfold, and then continued: "After John and I met, we ran down quickly and rushed into the sheepfold to catch the guy."
"But when the guy saw us coming, he immediately panicked. But instead of running away immediately, he killed the sheep and tried to escape with the sheep's body."
Marcus said helplessly, "John and I rushed to stop him, but the guy was not weak. After a fight, we finally just kept the sheep, and the guy escaped through the window."
Logan listened to their stories, his brows knitted together, "Have you seen who it is?"
"Not from our shelter."
John quickly spoke, and at the same time said: "But he is not a normal person, that guy is a weirdo, with sharp teeth, great strength, and very flexible speed."
Both of them are mutants and have very good strength, but they can't have any upper hand against this weirdo.
"Did other mutants break in here?"
Victor turned to look at them and asked.
After all, he was able to escape from the roundup of two mutants. Victor believed that they must be mutants.
However, Marcus shook his head and said with certainty: "It can't be a mutant. If there are traces of mutants around here, it's impossible to hide it from us."
They patrol around the farm every day, and if there are unknown mutants around, they should have found them by now.
While they were talking, Logan kept squatting on the ground and carefully inspecting the lamb's body.
While shaking the sheep's neck, he suddenly noticed a bite mark on the neck. The four teeth marks were very clear, and they all bit down exactly on the blood vessels.
Logan carefully touched the bite marks, and always felt that the tooth sound was very familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he remembered that the teeth marks were similar to the bite marks of a vampire.
Thinking of vampires, Logan couldn't help but frown and fell into deep thought.
Victor, who was behind, saw that Logan seemed to have found some clues, and hurriedly squatted next to him and asked: "What did you find?"
"Look at this."
Logan pointed to the location of the bite mark, "Does this bite mark look familiar?"
As soon as these words came out, John and others also gathered around.
Lorna looked at the bite marks, pondered for a while and then said, "It looks like a poisonous snake."
John objected, "It's impossible for a poisonous snake to bite out four holes."
"Maybe two venomous snakes." Marcos added again.
Listening to their conversation, Logan was silent for a while and then murmured: "No, it's a vampire."
Then he added: "The vampire's fangs are very sharp, and the shape of the bite is also like this, and the bite is right on the blood vessel. I guess he may want to suck blood."
"This is impossible!"
John immediately retorted: "Logan, there can't be vampires in this world. Those are all made-up things in the movie."
In his opinion, vampires and the like are completely products of human imagination and can never exist.
Logan looked at him, shook his head and smiled, "Even if we exist, what's so strange about vampires?"
In the eyes of many normal humans who have never come into contact with mutants, they will not believe that there are mutants in this world who possess super powers and appear due to genetic mutations. The same is true for vampires. The reason why they do not believe it is Just haven't had any contact with it.
And Logan knows very well that vampires do exist in the Marvel universe, and those vampires are quite active and very powerful.
Logan exhaled helplessly and murmured: "But if it is really a vampire, we will be in trouble. The existence of vampires is not a good thing for us. Those things have never been good things. Now they are just hunting sheep. Okay, but no one can be sure they will keep hunting sheep."
Vampires are cruel and bloodthirsty, and human blood is a rare delicacy in their eyes. If they continue to be left alone, Logan is worried that the next one to be attacked will be other mutants in the sanctuary.
Now they are already struggling to deal with the government. If tough guys like vampires come again, the trouble will be too big.
But obviously, John and the others still didn't want to believe in the existence of vampires, and looked at Logan with suspicion. After all, vampires were a fantasy to them.
But Lorna seemed to gradually accept Logan's statement. She remembered what she had talked about with the staff in the surrounding farms before, and said to everyone: "I heard that the farms next door also encountered these things from time to time. The livestock they raise often disappear mysteriously, isn't it all caused by vampires?"
If they are really vampires, they have been living nearby for a long time.
"Do you really believe in the existence of vampires?"
John looked at Lorna in surprise. He still felt that vampires were impossible creatures.
Logan didn't want to argue with them. He stood up and looked at the window of the sheepfold. After thinking for a while, he said: "You report this matter to Mika first and organize others to get all the sheep back. Me and Victor goes to track that guy, he shouldn't be far away yet."
"OK."
Marcos nodded and warned: "Please pay attention to safety and keep communicating."
Logan nodded and took Victor to the window outside the sheepfold, and sure enough he found a pair of clear footprints.
Obviously, this time the sheep thief was rounded up by John and the others, and he was very embarrassed when he escaped, leaving many clues behind.
Victor squatted on the ground and looked at the huge footprints, and said solemnly: "These footprints don't look like normal human beings at first glance."
After speaking, he sniffed the air around him and said solemnly: "And the smell of blood here is very strong, and the hostility is very strong. It feels difficult to deal with."
Logan nodded, looked at the footprints on the ground, and followed the footprints to roughly determine the direction in which the vampire fled.
Victor also followed Logan's gaze and said angrily: "I didn't expect that in the 21st century, those dirty vampires are still alive."
Rumors of vampires existed a long time ago. When they were participating in the war, they heard legends of vampires from time to time, but they had never encountered them. However, a lot of evidence at the time could prove that vampires existed, but the number was relatively small. rare.
And Victor didn't expect that after so many years, those guys were not extinct.
"Let's go, follow the tracks and look for him. Maybe we can catch that guy before nightfall."
Logan looked at the direction of the footprints, then looked at the setting sun that was about to set over the mountain col, and began to run towards the direction of the footprints.
Victor followed him.
After walking along the footprints, the two ran outside the farm and ran into a forest. But as soon as they entered the forest, the footprints suddenly disappeared. There was no trace on the ground in front of them. The footprints stopped abruptly here. "Damn, those guys can still fly?"
Victor looked at the disappearing footprints on the ground and couldn't help but look up at the lush woods around him.
All he could think about was that the guy flew away.
"What now?"
Victor turned his head and looked at Logan.
Without clues, it would be difficult for them to track the guy's location.
"fine."
Logan sniffed the air around him and said with a smile: "That guy can't hide his aura."
"Um?"
Victor was stunned for a moment, then he also raised his nose and sniffed, and then said in astonishment: "Why don't I smell anything?"
Logan ignored him, but relied on his nose to keep looking for the direction in which the guy was escaping.
He could clearly feel that there was still a subtle smell of blood in the air.
The smell was so microwave that ordinary people couldn't smell it at all. Even Victor, who was very sensitive to blood, couldn't detect the subtle smell of blood.
But now Logan can. As his body returns to its peak state, his abilities in all aspects have not only been restored, but even improved, including the ability to smell.
Logan raised his nose, followed the faint blood in the air, and continued walking forward.
After walking for a while, he noticed that the smell was particularly strong near some of the surrounding trees, and he seemed to have stopped briefly in the trees.
Logan looked carefully at the big tree, examining every detail, and found some footprints and indentations on the tree.
"That guy can't fly, but he has a very strong jumping ability. He can escape by swinging from a tree like a monkey."
He pointed at the roots on the branches for analysis. After thinking for a while, he continued to chase the clues.
Eventually, Logan and Victor stopped on a hillside.
Victor found bloody wool and the remains of some sheep on the ground, as well as different footprints on the ground.
Victor sniffed around the wreckage, his expression suddenly solemn: "The smell here is very messy."
In addition to the smell of sheep blood, he also smelled several different smells, which were mixed together and made it very messy.
Logan nodded and said with a frown: "There is more than one person here, and that guy has a companion!"
After speaking, Logan carefully looked at the footprints near the wreckage. Although the footprints were messy, they eventually branched into two different paths, one to the left and one to the right.
"One person goes to one side, you go to the right, and I go to the left."
Victor pointed to the left, then stood up and chased towards the left.
Logan nodded, looked at the dense forest on the right, and took great strides to pursue.
However, after taking only two steps, Logan heard the sound of fighting behind him and Victor's explosion.
"not good."
Logan was startled and quickly turned around and ran back.
When he arrived, Logan saw Victor fighting with a burly figure.
It's a pity that the sun is setting now, and the light in the forest is dim. Logan can't see clearly what the burly figure looks like. He can only see that it is a strange man who looks like a lion, with a thick ring around his neck. The mane is very wide, and the feet are very wide, and the strength is also very strong.
And he was fighting with Victor inextricably. The two were like tigers and lions encountering each other. They kept colliding in the jungle, punching each other hard, and dull sounds kept echoing around them.
When Logan saw this, he quickly went to help.
But Victor suddenly said: "Don't come over, this damn thing dares to sneak up on me, I have to kill him!"
It can be seen that Victor is very irritable now and insists on dealing with the guy himself without letting Logan intervene.
"this guy"
Seeing this, Logan had no choice but to stop where he was and watch the battle carefully.
At the same time, Victor and the weirdo were already fighting inextricably.
Victor's powerful body looked like a violent beast at this time, and his low roar was like the roar of an evil tiger, causing the surrounding birds to flee.
The strange man was obviously not far behind. The manes on his neck stood upright, looking like steel needles, and his eyes were full of anger.
Victor rushed towards the strange man, his sharp claws extended out, flashing with a cold light, and he swung at the strange man unceremoniously.
The weirdo on the other side, although his body was very large, was extremely agile. With just a slight backward movement, Victor's claws fell into the air.
At the same time, both arms clenched tightly into fists, their strong muscles bulged high, and a terrifying force burst out, hitting Victor without hesitation.
The huge fist looks like a huge iron fist, cutting through the air and making wind.
Victor's eyes narrowed, but he was not afraid at all. He raised his arms and crossed them in front of him.
Bang!
The fist hit Victor's arm. The strong force made Victor's expression change, and he let out a muffled groan from his throat. There was a clear pain in his arm, and it felt like he was only one step away from fracture.
However, Victor's fighting skills were naturally comparable, and he was not frightened by this power. Instead, he subconsciously raised his foot and kicked him hard.
Seeing this, the weirdo quickly closed his fist and retreated quickly.
The two stared at each other, then rushed out again the next moment. The two figures quickly approached in the forest, and finally collided with each other. The two sides quickly started a fierce close combat, with fists fighting, kicks and kicks. The competition between the feet was inseparable for a while.
Victor relies on his ferocity and animality to make every move full of deadly threats.
The weirdo did not hesitate to give in, attacking like a ferocious beast. After a while, many clear scratches appeared on the clothes of both parties, and blood continued to drip from the scratches, but neither of them stopped attacking because of the pain.
Dull crashing sounds echoed one after another in the jungle, and the fighting was extremely fierce.
A few minutes later, Victor suddenly found a gap in the opponent's punch and dodged the fierce fist. At the same time, he bent down and hit the weirdo hard in the abdomen with a heavy claw.
roar! !
The pain in his abdomen made the weirdo roar angrily, and he staggered back two steps.
Victor refused to let go and hurriedly swooped up again, his fists raining down like raindrops.
Facing this fierce attack, the weirdo's expression gradually became more solemn, and he was finally unable to withstand it.
boom!
Victor's punch successfully hit the weirdo's chest. The strong force made the weirdo take dozens of steps back, clutching his painful chest, staring at Victor fiercely, his eyes full of fear. Finally gritting his teeth, before Victor continued to pounce, he turned around and quickly ran into the woods on the side.
The huge figure instantly disappeared into the dense forest.
Victor, who was originally victorious, saw the weirdo trying to run away. His previous complacency suddenly disappeared. Instead, his expression suddenly changed and he roared: "Damn guy, don't even think about running away!"
As he spoke, he also raised his steps and quickly chased after the weirdo.
Logan looked at Victor's figure, looked aside, and shouted loudly: "Damn it, Victor, don't be impulsive, be careful of an ambush!"
There were a lot of footprints on the ground just now. It was obvious that he was not the only weirdo. There might be many of his accomplices in the forest.
But how could Victor above him listen to Logan's advice? He sprinted very fast in the direction where the weirdo was escaping.
"Damn it!"
Logan looked at Victor's back, gritted his teeth, and could only quickly catch up.
But when he set out, he paid special attention to the footprints left by the weirdo.
The huge footprints, the width of a single foot are thicker than two feet of a normal person, and the depth of pressing down also shows that the weirdo is very heavy.
But for such a heavy person, he was very fast and completely disappeared into the dense forest in just a moment.
Logan looked at the footprints, and then recalled the strange man's body shape, which completely matched the strange man's figure.
