Everyone seems to agree that, WHEN IT'S YOUR TURN, during your
minions' acting phase, vampires with no blood have to hunt and cannot
take any other action. That's what the rules say, fine.
Now, suppose that you only have an untapped vampire with, say one
blood point left, and that your predator, during his/her turn, first
plays "Cryptic Mission" (or some card that remove one blood from some
vampire), such removing the last blood point of your untapped vampire
; then (s)he tries to bleed you. May the (hungry) bloodless vampire
still try to block the bleed attempt ?
I suppose so. What about you ?

Yes. Empty, untapped, ready vampires can block, play reaction cards,
be attacked (Bum's Rush), etc. just like any other untapped, ready
vampire. The restriction is only on acting (empty vampires cannot
perform any action other than hunting) and what you can do during your
minion phase (if you have one or more empty, untapped, ready vampires
during your minion phase who is not prevented from hunting, then your
next action must be to have one of those vampires hunt. (Repeat this
process until all of your untapped, ready vampires are either not empty
or prevented from hunting).
