THE ETERNAL DRAGON
CHAPTER 53 | Blood Crystals

After controlling the situation of the Lemann family, John then say goodbye to Diego. Although Luciana and Amelia were heartbroken and still somewhat frightened by this incident, she did not dare to ask John to stay with them.

“Diego, find out where the vampire nest is in your territory. Give me a report as soon as” John orders Diego after on his way back to the hotel.

“Good tuan” suhut Diego

“I didn't expect in the last month that I've met and killed vampires twice in different regions. Looks like their development is very fast like the plague everywhere” John gritted his teeth

Upon arriving at his room, John contacts Jiro to send him a map of the location where the vampire's nest they've found has been locked up to date.

Meanwhile, Guerra receives reports from his subordinates that Daniel and Pablo have been killed, angering him.

“Damn it, they're too rash. Basic beginner. In vain I gave my blood to them” grumbled Guerra.

“Gather all our brothers, we retreat back first to the main headquarters. I don't want events in England to befall us here.” his orders to his subordinates.

“Good tuan” said Guerra's subordinates then rushed to call the entire herd of vampires who were in their territory.

The next day they all set out to leave the city of Rio for the main headquarters in the territorial waters of the Amazon river.

About two hours after the departure of the vampire herd, John also found the location of their nest in the city of Rio, there are three locations found including Guerra's house, but none of them found the existence of vampires there.

“Damn it, they have escaped first” said General Lucio who participated in the attack to the vampire nest with John.

“It looks like they are now more careful in taking action since the incident in England” John said

“Investigate every clue in their nest, report it to me soon”

“Any tuan” said General Lucio who immediately perform sweeping in the vampire nest.

Not long ago General Ana came to see John, “Report sir. We found hints”

“Katak” sahut John

“We found a blood-red crystal inside a secret chamber within the house” General Ana said as she handed the crystal to John

John took the blood-red crystal and felt the blood energy still remaining in it “What is this thing for?” figured

“Master, In Latin America, there was once news of an archaeologist's discovery of this Blood Crystal. According to his information, this blood crystal was found in one of the temples located in the Amazon” river valley area, General Ana said.

“Amazon River?” mumbling John.

“What is this crystal they have found? continued

“True sir, from the photos of the discovery, we have investigated its color and characteristics similar to this blood crystal.” continued General Ana

“Good. Gather all the clues you get. We're going back to base to strategize. Burn their entire nest!” john's orders

“Ready to do tuan” said General Ana while passing by ordering his subordinates to burn all the nests that have been found.

About three hours later John had gathered at his army headquarters and called the officers to discuss in the meeting room.

“Alright, tomorrow I will leave with five people from General Ana's army to comb the location of the discovery of Blood Crystals in the Amazon” river said John.

“General Ana continues to investigate the possibility of other nests that we have not found yet, General Lucio and General Faron are deploying your men to go undercover and work around the nests to guard against the possibility of them killing people again

“Siap tuan” sahut the generals in unison

“Diego, you continue the training that I have arranged in the headquarters against other members”, John said again

“Good tuan” suhut Diego

“Ok, I'll be back to the hotel. Tomorrow have five special people pick me up to go to the Amazon” river John said then walked to the car that would take him back to the hotel.

The next morning, five special agents were picked up and picked up John at his hotel, leaving for the Amazon River north of Rio. The journey takes about three days to reach the city of Manaus on the banks of the Amazon River.

The next morning from the city of Manaus, they took the path of the river heading west looking for the location of the discovery of the blood crystal. For three days through the river they pulled over in a forest on the edge of the Amazon river, then continued on foot in the forest.

During the two-day journey, they found a cave that according to information was the location of the discovery of blood crystals in the forest. John and his five agents enter the cave big enough for them to pass through. In the cave, there are many holes in the cave walls, as well as former waterways along the way to the cave.

Exactly about thirty minutes walk into the cave, they found a very large room illuminated by the reflection of sunlight through a hole in the cave sky on the blood crystal attached to the ceiling of the cave, so that the cave is quite bright with red light.

John who sharpened his sense of hearing since entering the cave, did not find anything strange. After observing the shape and characteristics of the blood crystals in the cave sky, John confirmed that they were similar to the blood crystals he had obtained in a vampire nest.

Suddenly, John hears footsteps entering the mouth of the cave, and John orders his team to hide.

About three people came into the cave, then they looked around to make sure no one was around, then they jumped up and took some blood crystals.

When they were about to leave, John then confronted them in the middle of the road, then to his five teams immediately surrounded the three people.

“Who are you?” yell at one of the three men.

“I'm John, there's something I want to ask you guys” said John innocently.

The three people who took the blood crystal looked at each other and gave the eye codes, then moved to attack in different directions.

John and his team who did not expect the attack immediately reacted to block it. But the three men called off the attack and changed their direction immediately running towards three different directions.

One twitched out of the mouth of the cave, the other leapt towards the direction of the sunlight from a hole in the sky of the cave and the latter leapt into the hole in the cave wall.

John who was in the front closed the entrance of the cave in shock then moved to chase after the person. The other team chased the other two.

“Stop, we just want to ask” said John

The man did not stop him and moved quickly into the wilderness, but John certainly moved faster and had blocked the man back.

John was shocked to see the man's face in the sun, his face pale as if lacking blood. A vampire? thought John

“Why can they walk during the day? I have to catch this guy” thought John was back.
