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

"Luke, aren't your pants made of denim?" Jack suddenly asked."Ugh!" Luke swatted a mosquito away. Then he said, "Yeah, it's denim. Why, what's up?""Can your phone's battery be removed?""Yeah, it can.""That'll do.""What'll do?""Charging," Jack said mysteriously."Charging what?" Luke asked, confused."Ugh, just do something quickly!" Lily said impatiently, smacking her own cheek — actually swatting a mosquito. "These bloodsuckers are going to drain us dry."Ignoring Lily, Jack told Luke to take out his phone's battery. Luke fumbled in the dark and managed to remove it. "Now what?" he asked."Rub the battery's charging slot against your jeans," Jack instructed.Finally, Luke understood. As an engineering student, he felt embarrassed that such a simple idea hadn't crossed his mind. Without another word, he firmly rubbed the battery's charging slot against his pants. Though they couldn’t see in the dark, the rough scratching sound made it clear he was doing it.Jack said, "Once you'
Chapter 105: A Faint Hope in the Jungle
They had been walking for quite a while. Everyone was exhausted. Suddenly, Orin dropped onto a pine log, declaring that he couldn’t go any further. The others were just as worn out, so they all decided to rest right there. They had lunch with the water and the deer meat they had with them. After a short break, they set off again."How much longer do we have to keep walking?" Lily asked impatiently."Until we find the Yaku River," Jack replied indifferently."In other words, until we get rescued," Luke added."Yeah, exactly," Jack agreed."Do you think we’ll actually get rescued?" Orin asked, his voice filled with doubt."Hmm." Jack sighed. "Only time will tell.""And when exactly will that time come?" Lily asked impatiently.Suddenly, Jack stopped in his tracks, making everyone else pause in surprise. Lily was about to ask what was wrong, but Jack raised his hand, signaling her to be quiet. She fell silent immediately.Jack stood still, straining his ears to catch something. "Do you g
Chapter 104: Flickers in the Firelight
Lily stared at the fire. It burned brightly, its orange glow lighting up everything around it. Nocturnal animals filled the jungle with their calls, the constant noise almost deafening to Lily. She had been awake for quite a while now. Around midnight, she was supposed to wake Jack. She pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time, but it was dead. No charge. Finally, she glanced at her wristwatch. In the dim light, she saw that it was already twelve. Just as she was about to wake Jack, she noticed him sitting on the hammock. That meant he had woken up on his own."When did you wake up?" Lily asked."Just a little while ago," Jack replied."Well, good thing you did. I was about to wake you.""Alright then, you get some sleep. I’ll keep watch."Lily wished him goodnight and lay down. Jack sat quietly on the hammock. After a while, he noticed the firewood was running low. The flames were almost out. He climbed down, added a few branches onto the glowing embers, and went back to
Chapter 103: Where’s Luke?
Orin is scared. She doesn’t know what to do now. Should she call out to them?No, that might startle the animals. That could make things even worse. When animals get startled, they become aggressive.What are those two?Tigers, bears, or leopards? Or something else?Orin hasn’t seen the animals yet. But from their growls, she can tell they’re fierce and large. The animals are slowly approaching the camp. Yes, there are two of them. Orin sees four eyes glowing in the darkness. One animal wouldn’t have four eyes. Nor would it have just one. Each animal has two eyes, so there must be two of them.The animals crept closer and closer until they reached Jack’s hammock. Orin’s heart pounded wildly in her chest. She was frozen with indecision. Then suddenly, an idea struck her.Luke was lying in the hammock closest to Orin. She poked him with a stick. He didn’t wake the first time, but on the second try, he stirred. As he sat up, he was about to make a sound, but Orin quickly put a finger to
Chapter 102: Right in Front of You
The jaguar was about fifteen feet away from them. A distance it could cover in a single leap. And it wouldn't take more than a few moments for it to make that jump.The jaguar leaped from its position. It was mid-air when something extraordinary happened. The smallest and most frightened among them stepped forward. Without a second thought, it lunged at the beast, which was at least twenty-five times its size. It knew it stood no chance, knew it would meet certain death, yet it leaped — only to save its friends. It could have run away and saved itself.Though it couldn't match the jaguar's strength, Don managed to hold it off for a few moments with sheer cunning. Don's sharp claws slashed across the jaguar's face. The sight of such a tiny dog daring to attack enraged the jaguar even more. With a shake of its head, it hurled Don to the ground. Even after hitting the ground, Don didn't give up. It charged again at the jaguar. But this time, Don couldn't hold it off. The jaguar struck th
Chapter 101: The Black Terror
Don stared at the large bush with a fearful gaze, barking furiously."Hey Don, what's wrong now?" Lily grabbed Don's collar and asked. Don glanced at Lily once, then turned back to the bush and started barking again."There's something over there," Jack said in a serious tone.Everyone immediately turned to look at him. "Something dangerous?" Orin's eyebrows furrowed."Yeah!" Jack nodded absentmindedly. "Something dangerous.""I think so too," Luke added. "There's definitely something scary over there."The two girls grew even more frightened after hearing Luke and Jack. "What do we do now?" Orin asked, her voice trembling.Without answering, Luke readied his bow and arrow. Jack picked up the wooden spear. The girls didn’t need to be told what to do. Watching Jack and Luke prepare was enough for them to understand. They each grabbed a spear and got ready.Don kept barking non-stop. No matter what they did, they couldn’t calm him down. At one point, Orin saw a shadow moving on the othe
Chapter 100: Don the Defender
The fastest snake in the world is the black mamba. It can cover nearly five meters per second. It is also one of the deadliest venomous snakes on Earth, said to rank just behind the king cobra. Interestingly, the black mamba isn’t black at all; its body is a dark grayish-olive color, though at birth, even that shade isn’t present. As it grows older, its color deepens. The name "black mamba" comes from the inky black color inside its mouth. When threatened, it raises its head high like a king cobra and hisses loudly — just like it was doing now. The black mamba doesn’t stop after one strike; it bites repeatedly, pumping venom into its enemy. Its venom is primarily neurotoxic, attacking the nervous system directly. Just a single drop is enough to cause a heart attack and kill a full-grown human in fifteen minutes.The snake was so close, it wouldn’t take a second to lunge at Luke. Death stood right before him, and he knew it. He could see no hope of escaping alive.The snake raised half
Chapter 99: Where’s Luke?
After searching for quite a while, Luke couldn't find anything except four bird eggs. Finally, feeling frustrated, he sat down on a tree stump. But then, he quickly realized that sitting still wouldn't do. He had been out for quite a while. If he took any longer, they would start to worry. So, sitting there was no use. It would be better to head back to the camp. Surely, Jack must have found something. But what if, just like him, Jack didn't find anything? The thought made Luke pause. Then what would they do with these four eggs? They would have to go hungry.A bunch of such thoughts kept swirling in Luke’s mind. At that moment, he noticed a bush rustling nearby. He knew that bushes don’t move on their own. Someone was disturbing it. So there must be something inside. But what was it? A dangerous, fierce animal? Luke didn’t want to think further. He quickly moved behind a tree for cover, keeping his ears alert for any sound, ready to hear the slightest noise. He kept his gaze fixed on
Chapter 98: Out of the Darkness
Lily opened her eyes and saw someone leaning towards her. At first, it was unclear, but slowly, the face became clearer. Seeing Jack, a spark of joy flashed in her eyes.Lily couldn’t speak. She didn’t have the strength to speak. Only a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Jack gave her water to drink. Lily lay on his lap. In this condition, there was no way Lily could climb the vine. So, he would have to figure out how to lift her. But how?Jack sank deep into thought. His mind had already started working to find a solution. Within moments, the path to a solution revealed itself to him. Now, they just needed an extra vine. One that was right above, near Luke.Luke and Orin were sitting above, holding their phone's flash at the mouth of the hole. They waited eagerly. At that moment, they heard Jack’s call. He needed another vine. Without delay, Luke threw one end of the vine into the hole. He held the other end himself.As soon as the vine was in hand, Jack began his work.
