Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Fang Heng was transmigrated to a parallel world and his soul was forced into the body of a man who had just committed suicide. Huh? What? Every human here was being forced to join a game? Those who refused would be killed? Wait? This suicide dude was a pro gamer? He had the highest S-rank talent sill, the Zombie Clone? Damn! The S-rank skill evolved! My zombie clones could auto hu

Chapter 684: Absorption and Conversion

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Troublesome!

Fang Heng muttered in his heart. Narrowing his eyes, he picked up Chen Yan's corpse and threw it at the charging holy cast knights. Then, he turned around and ran quickly towards the stone pillar.

Seeing this, a few believers were extremely anxious. They shouted, "Stop him!! Don't let him get close to the sealing stone."

It was already too late. Fang Heng raised his iron rod and smashed it hard on the stone pillar, producing a muffled sound.

"Dong!!!"

[Hint: You have dealt 1,588 damage to the sealing stone.]

Huh?

It actually had such high durability.

It had over 100,000 durability and there were five stone pillars in all. It would probably take a long time to smash them.

Fang Heng felt some regret in his heart.

He still did not have enough experience.

If he had known earlier, he would have brought more powerful explosives and directly exploded them.

He had to prepare more for the future.

Fang Heng kept swinging the iron rod in his hand at the stone pillar as he thought in his mind.

Suddenly, another game hint refreshed on his retina.

[Hint (triggered by sealing art): You have discovered the sealing stone pillar. You can try to obtain more information by touching the sealing stone.]

Eh?

Sealing stone pillar?

Is it related to sealing art?!

This game hint made Fang Heng's heart skip a beat.

The saying 'more skills, less pressure' really made sense.

Raising his hand, Fang Heng immediately reached out to touch the stone pillar.

Instantly, an extremely strong burning pain came from his hand.

Fang Heng subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.

[Hint: You have received holy attribute damage -30.]

Fang Heng frowned. Enduring the burning pain, he continued to press his hand on the stone pillar.

[Hint: Through basic sealing, you have received the following information.]

[The sealing stone of the magic array-Holy.]

[Hint: The sealing stone in the center contains a large amount of holy energy. By combining it with the central system to provide a continuous energy conversion node as the structure point of the magic array, it can increase the efficiency of the magic array's operation and the overall strength of the magic array's operation.]

[Hint: Player's main mission-Victoria City under the Holy Light side mission has been triggered: Destroy the structural points of the branch magic array.]

Mission description: The Holy Court has established a large-scale magic array in Victoria City. Destroying the structural points of the branch magic array can affect the operation of the entire Victoria City magic array and reduce its effects.

Mission difficulty: A.

Mission requirements: Destroying the structure of the branch magic array.

Mission reward: Morale of the vampires, contribution points of the mission, vampire reputation points, Elders Council reputation points.

So that's how it is.

Looking at the lines of game hints that appeared one after another, Fang Heng had mastered something.

The sealing stone was also a part of the sealing art.

Fang Heng had a pained expression. He used his only knowledge of sealing art to try to understand the sealing stone in front of him.

So if he needed to stop working…

What should he do?

The underachiever was trying hard to recall when the game hint appeared in his vision again.

[Hint: Absorbable holy energy detected.]

[Hint: Player has mastered basic sealing and basic sacred study. Player meets the initial 'absorption' condition.]

[Hint: Player can choose to absorb the holy energy in the sealing stone as a skill-basic sacred experience point.]

[Hint: Affected by the current physique, attribute, status, skill, etc, estimated conversion rate: 1826:1.]

[Hint: Checking…]

[Hint: Player has mastered basic sealing and elementary necromancy, player has met the initial 'conversion' condition.]

[Hint: Player can choose to inject necromancy energy into the sealing stone and convert the holy attribute sealing stone into the necromancy attribute sealing stone.]

[Hint: Player needs to empty the sealing stone of its energy before converting it. If the energy is directly injected into the sealing stone, there is a high probability that the sealing stone will become unstable and cause a strong explosion.]

Hmm?!

Absorb?

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched.

There was actually such a good thing?

Even though the conversion rate of 1826:1 was a little bit of a pain in the a*s.

But the way to level up a basic sacred skill was suddenly placed in front of him so easily…

There was no reason not to!

"Convert!"

The palm that touched the sealing stone emitted a faint golden light.

At the same time, a slow channeling bar appeared above Fang Heng's head.

A game hint appeared on his retina every few seconds.

[Hint: You have absorbed the holy energy within the sealing stone. Your skill-basic sacred experience point 1.]

[Hint: You have absorbed the…]

"He is affecting the seal! Don't let him continue!"

"How dare you!"

The holy cast knight saw Fang Heng's actions and was shocked and furious. He sped up and rushed in front of Fang Heng, raising his long sword and slashing down.

Fang Heng held the sealing stone with one hand to absorb energy. He extended his other hand forward.

"Weng!"

The blood-red barrier opened in front of him.

"Dong!!"

The sword swept across the blood barrier, and the holy cast knight was sent flying back a few steps.

Just as Fang Heng absorbed the energy for a few seconds, a few more holy cast knights rushed towards him from all directions.

It was really troublesome!

Fang Heng was secretly hating them.

It was not easy for him to find such an opportunity to level up his sacred skill, yet someone did not let him continue with the process and even came over to cause trouble!

With so many holy cast knights surrounding him and attacking him, even the blood barrier could not stop them.

He had no way to continue absorbing the sealing energy.

Given the current circumstances, under the influence of the sealing stone's central hub, the holy cast knights' recovery and defense abilities also increased significantly.

Each of the holy cast knights had strong bodies, and it was also very difficult to kill them all in a short period of time.

After being surrounded and attacked for more than ten seconds, Fang Heng had no choice but to retreat.

He could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

Since that was the case, then he would just convert the energy!

Fang Heng still understood the most basic knowledge of sealing.

The coexistence and reconciliation of different types of energy were very troublesome, and they required extremely minute control.

For example, the holy energy and necromancy energy were born with great mutual repulsion. As long as they were put together, they would definitely explode!

By that time, the stone pillar could be easily destroyed.

Good! That's how it should be done!

Fang Heng pondered, retreating while fighting.

Then how should he get the necromancy energy?

"Oh no, I don't understand!"

The frustration of the underachievers.

He had not studied necromancy for long and relied on the zombie clones to cheat and gain experience.

He had no choice but to ask the top student for help.

He hoped that he could make it in time.

Fang Heng quickly left the stone pillar and swung his iron rod forward.

"Dong!!!"

Two holy cast knights were swept away by the rod.

Taking advantage of the gap, Fang Heng dodged to the back of the parking lot. At the same time, a scarlet alchemy magic array appeared under his feet.

In the blink of an eye, a pool of red blood appeared under Fang Heng's feet.

Drops of red blood floated up from the pool, quickly wrapping Fang Heng in it until they condensed into a ball of blood.

The wriggling ball of blood made the pursuing holy cast knights feel extremely uneasy.

The holy cast knight closest to Fang Heng gritted his teeth and stabbed the long sword in his hand forward.

"Pa!!"

The moment the sword touched the red blood, it was deflected as if it had been electrocuted.

In the next moment, the red blood mass disappeared on the spot.

Disappeared?

What happened?

The holy cast knights looked at each other and surrounded the central area of the stone pillar vigilantly. They were careful of Fang Heng who might be hiding in the dark.

What happened?

A person suddenly disappeared without any reason?

"Find him! He should still be around!"

Chapter 685: The Illumination of the Holy Light

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

2:45 am.

The fallen corridor.

Li Shaoqiang lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

He was thinking about the holy water for tomorrow.

In order to make money, he had invested all his capital. The pressure was immense.

Yet, he had encountered the force majeure of the destruction of the fallen corridor.

Could it be that he was not born with the talent to do business?

While he was half-asleep, Li Shaoqiang heard a familiar voice from outside the tent.

"Hello? Are you asleep?"

Li Shaoqiang immediately sat up straight and was not sleepy at all.

He opened the tent and asked, "Fang Heng, what's the matter?"

"Yes, there's something very important. I want to ask you about it. Do you know anything about necromancy energy?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Fang Heng's question, Li Shaoqiang was also stunned.

This Big Brother did not sleep at night. Instead, he was suddenly asking about necromancy energy?

How did he connect the necromancy energy with holy water?

Fang Heng saw Li Shaoqiang's stunned look and could not help but push him. He urged, "Hey, do you know? It's very urgent."

"Oh." Li Shaoqiang sorted out his thoughts, "Necromancy energy usually exists in the death realm. There are remnants on many undead-type items. Other than this, undead creatures also carry a portion of necromancy energy. In addition, there are many types of necromancy energy. Most of them cannot be directly absorbed…"

"Okay, okay, okay." Fang Heng did not have time to listen to his long speech. He could not help but interrupt after he had roughly understood, "Do you have any undead-type item on you right now? Or can you get some necromancy energy?"

"You want it now?" Li Shaoqiang frowned. He felt even weirder. He thought about it and continued, "It's a little hard to get. Do you want a lot? If not, you actually have it on you right now. You can extract a small amount of necromancy energy from an elementary soul body."

"In theory, soul energy is also a type of necromancy energy. Remember? It was like this when we first started cultivating to absorb soul energy."

"But the conversion rate is very low. Using it to convert necromancy energy is not worth it…"

Fang Heng clapped his hands. "I understand!"

So it was that simple after all this time?!

He thought it was troublesome, but it was actually just using the Book of the Dead to convert a soul into energy that could be absorbed. He had played it before!

"Alright, Thanks. I understand. You can continue to sleep."

After getting the answer he wanted from Li Shaoqiang, Fang Heng patted Li Shaoqiang's shoulder and turned to leave.

Looking at Fang Heng who ran away in a hurry, Li Shaoqiang blinked his eyes with a baffled look on his face.

D*mn it, he suddenly asked this in the middle of the night?

What on earth was he trying to do?

Helpless, he lay back on the bed in the tent. Li Shaoqiang looked at the top of the white tent.

D*mn it, I can't sleep again!

Leaving the tent, Fang Heng picked up a Book of the Dead from the cart that was not teleported.

Walking into the darkness, Fang Heng closed his eyes and controlled one of the captured souls to transform into a form of energy that could be absorbed.

Unlike before, after the transformation was completed, Fang Heng did not absorb the energy. He only temporarily stored it in the Book of the Dead.

[Hint: You have completed the elementary soul energy conversation.]

"Eh?"

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

The energy body could be temporarily stored in the Book of the Dead, but he could feel that the energy was continuously flowing away.

It seemed that the speed had increased!

With this thought, Fang Heng closed his eyes once again.

Under his feet, a spiraling magic array rose.

…

At the underground parking lot, the holy cast knights were still standing in their original spots, double their vigilance.

A living person just disappeared like that?

And it was under the suppression effect of the magic array?!

This was too abnormal.

They were not sure if Fang Heng had really left.

"Chi Chi Chi!!!"

Noticing the slight sound, everyone turned their heads vigilantly, focusing their gazes on the spot where Fang Heng had disappeared not long ago.

An alchemy magic array flashed on the floor.

Fang Heng appeared from within the magic array.

"It's him!"

Seeing Fang Heng appear again, the holy cast knights reacted almost at the same time and rushed towards Fang Heng at the first moment.

Whoosh!

Relying on the strength of the holy weapon's teleportation, Fang Heng once again disappeared on the spot and passed through the middle of the two holy cast knights.

Fang Heng once again appeared in front of the sealing stone out of thin air.

The believers were greatly shocked when they saw this. They raised their handguns and fired at Fang Heng. At the same time, they shouted again, "Don't let him get close to the magic array!"

"Swoosh!"

Fang Heng ignored the attack of the handguns. He waved his iron rod and swept it at the two holy cast knights who were charging at him.

"Bang!"

The two holy cast knights who were guarding in front of the magic array were swept away by the rod and retreated a few steps.

Taking advantage of this interval, Fang Heng quickly opened his right hand, flipped open the Book of the Dead, and pressed his left hand on the sealing stone beside him.

His right hand absorbed and his left hand released!

The necromancy energy circulated through his body as a medium for a short period of time and was poured into the sealing stone before him.

Where his palm touched, the stone pillar reflected a dead gray color.

"Buzz…"

Almost at the same time, the sealing stone started to tremble uncontrollably.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows. He instinctively felt an extreme sense of danger!

[Hint (based on the current game difficulty): The current seal is in an extremely unstable state. Please evacuate immediately.]

So fast?!

Was it going to explode just like that?

Fang Heng felt an extremely powerful strength spreading out from the sealing stone.

A dazzling golden light gradually seeped out from the sealing stone!

It became brighter and brighter.

The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly.

[Hint: You have received Holy Light attribute damage -312].

[Hint: You have received Holy Light attribute damage -324…]

A row of game hints appeared on his retina at a speed of three per second.

Damage was increasing rapidly!

Such a huge reaction?

Run!

Fang Heng had a thought and he closed his eyes. The magic array under his feet began to spin crazily again and the blood that rose from his feet enveloped Fang Heng.

In their panic, the holy cast knights saw the sealing stone pillar that was emitting golden Holy Light, and for a moment, they did not understand the situation.

Everything happened too quickly. They watched as Fang Heng was once again surrounded by blood, and then they watched as the central sealing stone shook violently on the spot…

For a moment, the holy cast knights did not know whether they should stop Fang Heng from escaping or check the condition of the sealing stone.

They also felt that they could not do anything about it…

What did that masked man do to cause the sealing stone to have such a huge reaction and burst out with such intense Holy Light?!

While they were in shock, all the players in the basement looked at the Holy Light that had once again burst out in front of them!

"Boom!!!"

Accompanied by a berserk sound, the scorching Holy Light exploded in front of everyone with the sealing stone as the center.

Without any obstruction, the entire underground parking lot and everything around it melted under the illumination of the Holy Light.

Chapter 686: Ruins

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"This…"

Looking at the huge pillar of Holy Light that suddenly erupted into the sky and the violent tremors under his feet, Chu Yan could not help but reach out to support the wall in front of him.

His eyes were filled with shock.

The pillar of Holy Light that erupted lasted for a full three seconds before it began to weaken.

After the light gradually dissipated, Chu Yan looked into the distance once again. The entire villa area where the pillar of light was previously located had been completely destroyed by the explosion of the Holy Light just now!

The villa area had been reduced to ruins!

The central area of the pillars of light had been directly razed to the ground!

This kind of indiscriminate attack had practically enveloped all the forces of the Holy Court, annihilating them all!

There was also a large number of vampires who were fighting against the Holy Court who had also been annihilated by the explosion of the Holy Light.

It was really vicious.

Chu Yan felt that his right hand could not help but tremble.

He had seen with his own eyes that the masked man had barged into the villa area. Not long after, the entire sealing node had exploded.

That masked man…

Under such unfavorable circumstances, the array node had actually been completely destroyed by him!

The players were also shocked by the scene before their eyes, and they all discussed it in low voices.

Chu Yan looked at the ruins in the distance, trying his best to calm his uneasy mood. He turned his head around and asked, "Have you found out? The identity of that young man?"

"President, we haven't found anything related to him yet."

"Yes."

It was an expected answer.

Chu Yan nodded and took the binoculars from his subordinate. He lowered his head and looked at the ruins below, trying to search for the whereabouts of the unknown mysterious man.

"Boss," the subordinate swallowed his saliva and walked to Chu Yan's side. He asked in a low voice, "Can he survive such a violent explosion?"

"Absolutely."

Although they had only met a few times, Chu Yan could clearly feel that the masked man would not send himself to his death so easily.

…

The light released by the explosion of the sealing stone gradually dissipated.

Everything returned to calm.

Venerate emerged from the rubble covered by the stone.

The explosion destroyed more than half of the vampires' team.

Venerate shook his swollen head.

The surroundings were reduced to a pile of rubble.

What happened?

The chaotic memories gradually returned.

Right, the pillar of light exploded.

Everyone else died in the explosion?

Where was the Marquis?!

Did he die in the explosion?

Seeing that the surrounding people were concentrating their strength to attack the few holy cast knights who survived the explosion, Venerate gradually realized something. he shouted, "Quick! Follow me to find the Marquis!"

After dealing with the remaining survivors of the Holy Court, the vampires immediately went to the central area of the ruins, trying to find Fang Heng.

"Ka!!"

In the central area of the explosion, a hand stretched out from the thick sand on the ground.

Fang Heng waited for a full five minutes offline. He felt that the crisis should have passed before he went online again. Then, he spent another minute getting himself out of the thick layer of sand.

If it were the ordinary players, they would have been trapped underground.

He did not expect this wave to be so big.

Looking at the large ruins around him, Fang Heng smiled bitterly.

A row of game hints appeared in his vision.

[Hint: Player has completed the side mission-destroy the structure points of the branch magic array.]

[Hint: Player has obtained mission contribution points: 5,000, obtained vampire reputation points: 8,000, obtained Elders Council reputation points: 800.]

[Hint: Current contribution points: 6,992, mission evaluation: A-.]

[Hint: Player's control over the vampires in Victoria City has been slightly increased, and the morale of all vampires in Victoria City has been greatly increased.]

[Hint: The city's alchemy magic array has been affected. Affected by the magic array's effect, your skill-vampire bloodline has all additional attributes reduced by 63%.]

Fang Heng's gaze quickly swept across the game hints.

After destroying the pillar of light, the weakening effect on vampires had been reduced from 70% to 63%.

It didn't seem to be of much use…

What made Fang Heng even more displeased was that when the sealing stone exploded, a large number of holy cast knights died in the explosion. He had only received a small portion of contribution points, but not a single evolution crystal had dropped.

Moreover, he had not expected that there was actually such powerful holy energy hidden within the stone pillar that could blow up the surroundings into such a state.

If he could absorb all of them…

Fang Heng lightly clenched his fist.

After going back and forth for so long, this wave of losses could be considered very significant.

"Forget it, I'll just treat it as gathering intelligence and making preparations for the future…"

Fang Heng muttered to comfort himself.

"Lord Marquis!!"

Seeing Fang Heng climb out of the ruins alive, Venerate's heart which was hanging in the air finally relaxed. He was filled with excitement and immediately brought a group of people behind him to welcome him.

Fang Heng was now the backbone of the vampires in the entire Victoria City.

Only he could deal with the Holy Court in this state.

All the vampires looked at Fang Heng with admiration and respect. They all knelt around Fang Heng.

"Marquis."

Fang Heng looked at the vampires around him.

Affected by the Holy Light, the vampires were injured.

Fang Heng lowered his head and thought about what to do next.

He had gathered enough information. He had to make a plan.

There was more than one pillar of light in the city. It would be a waste to destroy it just like that…

Venerate reported, "Sir, the number of vampires in the city is rapidly decreasing. It will be difficult for us to continue fighting the holy cast knights."

"Gather all the vampires in the city and withdraw from the battle. Gather here."

"Yes, Sir!"

Venerate immediately transformed into his bat form and hovered in the air. He blew a special whistle signal and issued the order to gather all the vampires in the city.

…

In the neighboring district, on the highway leading out of the city.

Meng Hao sat in the passenger seat and swiped his phone.

On his phone, the spies in the city were bargaining with him, trying to sell him the latest information about the city.

"This is my final offer. 20,000. It's a flat price. If you don't sell it, I'll find someone else."

Meng Hao cursed as he transferred 20,000.

"Brother Meng, I think there's something strange about this."

The new underling, Ah Ding, who was in charge of driving the car, was a little confused, he said, "The vampires in Victoria City didn't send out a request for help, and the teleportation passage in the city hasn't been opened. The Elders Council might not even know that there's a problem there. Is there really a need for us to rush over?"

"Do you think I can't tell?"

Meng Hao felt normal even after being cheated of a sum of money. He shook his head and asked, "If there's something strange, we still need to go and check it out. The stranger it is, the more we have to see for ourselves. Don't forget our identities."

Ah Ding stared blankly. "What identity? Vampires?"

"Idiot, we are players! Players!" Meng Hao's voice couldn't help but grow louder. "If there's a mission, can we not go?"

Chapter 687: Strategy

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Meng Hao was a little angry.

A week ago, he had just spent a lot of effort obtaining the binding skill book of the vampire bloodline from District 6 of the Zombie Apocalypse. Then, he spent a lot of effort and money transferring the skill book from District 6 to District 9.

Originally, he had planned to make a big splash in District 9.

He hadn't expected that his subordinates here would be more and more stupid.

It wasn't until the art gallery was set ablaze that he realized there was a problem.

What had they been doing all these years? How could the branch of the Holy Court remain undiscovered for so long?

Meng Hao felt that these people were terrible at doing things.

What was even more incomprehensible to him was who had actually taken action to eliminate the lackeys of the Holy Light hiding in the art gallery.

And then there was the incident that had occurred in the neighboring Victoria City.

It was very unusual.

Something big must have happened.

Meng Hao could vaguely sense that there was definitely a connection between the two events.

There was something very wrong with the vampires tonight.

"I get it, Boss. Everything was for the mission." Ah Ding had always been cheerful. "Boss, you have a point. We went there to take the mission and earn the reward, right?"

Meng Hao nodded helplessly.

Faced with this carefree Ah Ding who was always cheerful and full of positive energy, he felt that it was useless to be angry.

It was a waste of talent to let him join the vampires!

"The vampire bloodline is only the first step. The mission won't fall from the sky. You have to fight for it yourself."

"I understand, Boss! I'll continue to work even harder!"

….

Under the moonlight, in Victoria City.

Eleven beams of Holy Light pierced through the night sky.

A black mass of bats hovered in the low sky of the city.

Affected by the sealing magic array, the vampires were at a disadvantage when dealing with the Holy Court.

After receiving the signal to gather, a large number of vampires withdrew from the battle and gathered in the air.

Almost all the vampires in Victoria City gathered in the air.

They formed a dark mass that blotted out the sky.

Fang Heng landed on the top of a tall building and reverted to his human form. He looked at the alchemy magic array in the city from above.

He had just looked down at the entire city from above and he could confirm that there were eleven pillars of light in the city.

These eleven pillars of light were the nodes of the main weakening array.

The eleven pillars of light worked together with the core of the main alchemy magic array to amplify the spread.

There were strong and weak pillars of light.

The pillar of light that had just been destroyed was considered relatively strong. From this, it could be deduced that there were strong and weak core nodes as well.

As for the position of the magic array's core, it could not be seen for the time being. It should have been intentionally erased by the person who set up the magic array.

Fang Heng quickly analyzed the current choices.

For a huge magic array, every node that was destroyed would slightly affect the magic array's operational efficiency.

Of course, the most effective way was to directly destroy the core of the magic array.

According to the Pious Guild, the core should be at the headquarters of the Holy Court, the ecological environment protection zone on the east side of the city.

That place was rarely visited by citizens, so it was indeed suitable for the Holy Court to hide their tracks.

"Marquis." The bat-shaped Venerate hovered beside Fang Heng. "A large number of holy cast knights are gathering quickly. They are gathering toward the central building of the vampires. They should be planning to attack the central building."

"Yes."

As expected.

The strategy of the Holy Court was predictable.

The central building of the vampires had a teleportation passage. Although Victoria City was only a small city and did not have much backup energy, the vampires from various regions would still enter Victoria City through the teleportation passage to provide support in an emergency.

This would bring trouble for the Holy Court to completely control Victoria City.

Therefore, the Holy Court would occupy the central building of the vampires and occupy the teleportation passage at the first opportunity.

The advantages of the vampires were air control and mobility. Their investigative ability was far superior to the Holy Court.

The advantage of the Holy Court was the magic array.

Under the cover of the magic array of the Holy Light, the strength of all the vampires was greatly reduced. On the contrary, the strength of the Holy Court was partially increased.

So what happened next…

Enhanced the advantage and made up for the weakness.

It was very disadvantageous to rely on vampires to fight head-on, so there was no need for them to join the frontal battlefield.

It was the zombie clone's turn.

Fang Heng opened the game log and looked at the game time.

It was about time.

The zombie clone's resurrection time was almost up.

The magic array targeting vampires would not have any effect on the zombie clone.

They would rely on the zombie clone as the battle output and use the vampires to scout and assist.

"Marquis, what should we do?" Seeing Fang Heng's pondering face, Venerate suggested, "Should we return to the central building and activate the teleportation array to ask for help from the Elders Council? Report this to the Elders Council. If we use the teleportation array at full strength, the following reinforcements will arrive very soon…"

"No, Venerate."

Fang Heng raised his hand to stop Venerate from continuing.

"There's no need to trouble the Elders Council. We can settle the matter in Victoria City ourselves."

Venerate was stunned. He looked at Fang Heng and suddenly wondered if he had heard wrongly.

Of course, he could not look for the Elders Council!

He still needed many Tier 1 evolution cystal to level up. The evaluation of the mission was still only A-, he had not obtained the holy water, and his sacred skill had not been upgraded…

So…

How could they let the reinforcements of the vampires come to snatch the resources?

Whether it was the evolution crystals, the number of the vampire reputation mission points, the holy energy contained in the sealing stone of the magic array node constructed by the Holy Court, or the sacred water of the Holy Court…

"I want all of them!"

A hint of greed flashed in Fang Heng's eyes.

"Venerate."

Venerate replied respectfully, "I'm here, Marquis."

"Tell the Council of elders that we are doing very well. We can solve the problem of Victoria City on our own. We don't need outside support."

Fang Heng stood on high ground and looked down at the entire city below. "Don't you think this is an opportunity? Venerate."

Venerate was puzzled and said, "I'm short-sighted. I can't understand your meticulous arrangements, Marquis."

"The entire Victoria City, and even the forces of the Holy Court in the surrounding areas of Victoria City, will emerge from the shadows. This is an opportunity to capture them all in one fell swoop." Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought of a plan, "Let them come. The more, the better. We will deal with all of them."

It turned out that the Marquis had such a grand plan!

Venerate immediately said excitedly, "Yes, Marquis, what should we do?"

"Cut off all the communication equipment, power generation facilities, and so on in the city. I want communication in this city to be completely paralyzed. If we encounter the Holy Court, we don't need to fight it head-on. We can just take a roundabout route."

"Also, strengthen the air patrol. I want to know the movements of the Holy Court at any time."

"Yes! Marquis!"

Venerate took down Fang Heng's words one by one.

He could not understand why Fang Heng would do this.

Not fighting the Holy Court directly, not calling for help from the outside, but destroying the city's communication system instead?

What exactly was he trying to do?

In more than two hours, the sky would be bright.

At that time, the overall strength of the vampires would be slightly reduced.

Despite having many doubts in his heart, Venerate still chose to firmly accept Fang Heng's orders to do things.

"Go."

Chapter 688: Wearing a Mask?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the building where the Pious Guild players were located.

Fang Heng descended from the sky and returned to his human form.

Chu Yan became nervous again and looked at Fang Heng.

"I guess your Holy Court has also triggered various missions related to the magic array." Fang Heng looked at Chu Yan and asked, "What missions did you accept?"

"The main mission is to kill the zombie team in Victoria City. There are many other missions to choose from, such as protecting the branch nodes of the magic array, repairing the magic array, transporting materials, capturing the central building of the vampires, and so on…"

Through the mask, Fang Heng stared at Chu Yan and said, "Very good. There is one thing that I need your help with. After this, I will give you a corresponding reward. You can choose to accept it, or you can leave now."

Chu Yan said, "Can I know what it is?"

Fang Heng leaned over and whispered in Chu Yan's ear.

Chu Yan was puzzled. "What do you want those things for?"

"It shouldn't be too difficult for you to collect these things. Frankly speaking, vampires have never liked these things. In addition, I'm not familiar with this place, so I can only rely on you. Also, if you can return to the Holy Court and report to me about the Holy Court's movements at any time, that would be even better."

"Are you asking me to be a mole?"

"This matter is more or less risky. I won't force you. Of course, you can refuse. But I promise that if you help me, you will definitely get more than if you help the Holy Court."

Chu Yan's eyelids twitched. He quickly weighed the gains and losses. He waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to leave the building.

"How do you plan to deal with the Holy Court? What I said before is not a bluff. The Holy Court in the nearby area has already gathered toward the central building of the vampires…"

As he said this, Chu Yan was stunned.

He suddenly realized something and asked, "You plan to place the explosives in the central building?"

Chu Yan quickly frowned and refuted his guess. "No, the people of the Holy Court have already gathered and are rushing toward the building. It will take a long time to collect and transport the explosives. You don't have that much time."

"Stop guessing. You'll find out soon." Fang Heng shook his head. "Also, send a trustworthy person to follow me and keep in contact with me. I need to keep track of the Holy Court's movements at all times…"

"Nine, eight, seven…"

In the basement of the vampires' building, Fang Heng was counting down softly.

"One!"

Alchemy magic arrays gradually appeared around Fang Heng's feet. The Lickers and the zombie clones were resurrected one after another.

Using the Lickers to deal with the Holy Court shouldn't be a big problem. However, there was still a big risk.

Fang Heng frowned slightly again.

"Hey, Fang Heng, what are you thinking about? Why do you look so absent-minded?"

Sandy was sitting on the stone block under the stone pillar. He was reading a collection of contemporary famous paintings that he had asked the vampires to help him look for. He glanced at Fang Heng from the corner of his eyes.

"Hmm…" Fang Heng lowered his head and thought, "I encountered a small problem."

Would there be a problem if the Lickers were exposed to the Holy Court and the players?

He could control the Lickers, so it was easy for others to associate him with Fang Heng in District 8.

Then, others might guess that he had the ability to enter and exit the game at any time.

Mo Yunxiao had warned him repeatedly.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, do not expose your ability to directly communicate with the game world.

"Oh ho? You're in trouble, aren't you?"

Sandy blinked, closed the book in his hand, and jumped down from the stone pillar. "Come, tell me your confusion. Devout artist, the great god of art will grant you strength. Trust me."

"Huh?"

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Sandy.

He didn't have much hope for Sandy, but he still said, "The trouble is this. It's too conspicuous to directly control these Lickers to deal with the Holy Court. People would connect me to Fang Heng from District 8."

"Well…" Sandy blinked his eyes, looking puzzled. "Isn't this good? Doesn't this mean that District 8 is very strong? This is a matter of showing off, isn't it good?"

"No, it's very bad."

Fang Heng shook his head repeatedly.

There was no other way. Time was tight at the moment. Unless he gave up everything and retreated immediately, Fang Heng could not think of any other way.

Under the current situation in Victoria City, the difference in strength between the vampires and the Holy Court was too great.

However, things had already developed to this point. With such a large wave of benefits in front of his eyes, should he give up now?

Fang Heng believed that he could not do it.

Well, looking on the bright side, it was not certain that his true identity would be discovered.

Others might have doubts, but they might not be able to confirm them.

He should try his best to be careful and think of a way to muddle through.

Fang Heng pondered in his heart.

"I see." Sandy touched his chin and thought for a moment. His eyes lit up, and he coughed softly. He pretended to pose and said, "Fang Heng, the great god of art has already enlightened me."

"Huh?"

Fang Heng was about to act recklessly when he heard Sandy's words.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean I have a way. The god of art is omnipotent. It has given me some enlightenment, but it is not perfect yet." Sandy's face was full of self-satisfaction. He looked at Fang Heng and said, "I want to get some sacrifices."

Fang Heng understood.

"Tell me, what do you want?"

"Great." Sandy flipped to one of the pages of the contemporary art appreciation album and pointed at the painting on it, "This is it. You must get this painting for me. It is the most suitable sacrifice for the god of art. Besides, the prison's exhibition hall is still a little small. I suggest that we can expand it when we go back…"

"Okay." Fang Heng nodded. "I promise you will get it. Let's talk about how to solve it first."

"Deal!"

Sandy snapped his fingers and looked excited. He explained, "It's actually very simple. We can put on masks and change our appearance. Lickers can do it too."

"Huh?"

The two Lickers walked to Fang Heng's side and lay on the ground obediently.

Fang Heng pointed at it and said suspiciously, "You mean to put a mask on it?"

"Hehe, almost." Sandy smiled proudly. "Fang Heng, don't you think that Lickers are very similar to a certain creature?"

Fang Heng frowned and carefully looked at the Lickers by his feet.

"Is it? What is it?"

"Yes! It's a ghoul! Ghoul!"

Sandy became a little excited, "I've read many books of the Holy Court. According to the description of the Holy Court, it's a creature that exists in the death realm. It has the characteristic of being unable to be killed. Look, isn't it similar to your Lickers? Hmm, you probably don't understand the death realm. You can understand it as a higher dimensional world."

Death realm?

Fang Heng indicated that he had heard of it.

He even knew that the Necromancer Association had a crevice leading to the death realm.

However, he had never heard of ghouls.

Sandy continued, "I've seen many descriptions of ghouls in the books of the Holy Court, as well as some imaginary pictures. Their descriptions are also a little magical, and some of them are different from each other. However, there is one thing that their descriptions are very similar to your current Licker."

"The biggest difference is the color of their bodies and the special details on their heads."

While speaking, Sandy took out a paintbrush from somewhere on his body and walked to the Licker in front of Fang Heng.

"With a little bit of artistic processing, I'll be able to finish it very soon. It's true. The people of the Holy Court have never seen a ghoul before. Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to tell the difference."

Sandy turned to look at Fang Heng, his eyes shining with artistic brilliance. "Fang Heng, I need a special pigment in large amounts! The sooner the better!"

"Okay."

Fang Heng decided to give it a try.

"I got it. I'll arrange it for you immediately."

…

At the headquarters of the Holy Court in Victoria City.

In the prayer hall, the believers came and went, constantly informing the bishop of what had happened in the outside world.

"Bishop, the branch node of Magic Array No. 7 has been destroyed."

"Bishop, the operation of the magic array has been confirmed to be weakened…"

"Team No. 2 has successfully defeated the vampires."

"The vampires have begun to retreat and gather in the central area of the city…"

Chen Li listened to his subordinate's report and fell into deep thought.

It was the branch structure of Magic Array No. 7…

Previously, the violent explosion at the stone pillar of the branch structure point of the magic array was clearly felt by even him in the headquarters.

It was too strange.

The branch nodes had been specially arranged. Six of them had yet to be completely completed and lacked protection, but the remaining six nodes had already been completed.

Node No. 7 was one of the most well-arranged nodes.

In theory, it was impossible for the vampires to have the ability to directly defeat the seventh branch stronghold.

Even the Marquis of the vampires could not do it himself.

This was unreasonable!

Chen Li frowned.

Which step did he miscalculate?

Chen Li really wanted to go to the branch and see what was happening there, but he still needed to control the magic array as a whole, so he had no time to spare.

"Bishop, there's news from the front. Several branches of the vampires in the area have completely fallen. Our people are heading to the vampire building in the center of the city to meet up and destroy the passage."

"The vampires gathering in the air have started to disperse in batches. They are attacking the facilities in the entire Victoria City area."

"What did you say?"

Chen Li suddenly turned to look at the believer behind him and confirmed, "The vampires didn't return to the central building?"

"Yes, Lord Bishop."

So strange?

Could there be a conspiracy?

Chen Li's heart sank.

Eleanor, the judge of the Holy Court, who had just walked into the prayer hall, was equally puzzled.

"Lord Bishop, only a small number of vampires have returned to the central building of the city. In addition, I have another piece of news for you."

"Yes, what?"

"According to the information I received from the Inhumans, the teleportation passage of the vampires in the city is closed. Therefore, no vampires have come to support the city," Eleanor said in a deep voice. "If the news is true, we believe that the building of the vampires is almost empty."

Chen Li felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

What was this?

The vampires did not guard the central building of the vampires, nor did they open the teleportation passage to seek help. Instead, they scattered around the city and destroyed the buildings and facilities.

Eleanor said, "Bishop, do you think this is a trap?"

A trap?!

Chen Li raised his head and looked at Eleanor.

He thought that this was a 100% victory, but suddenly, Chen Li felt that things were not as simple as he thought.

The actions of the vampires were too illogical, which made people suspicious.

What benefits did destroying the city bring to the vampires? What drove them to give up the central building? They didn't even need to ask for help?

Eleanor said, "Of course, it's also possible that we were lucky. The teleportation magic array inside the vampires suddenly failed. The vampires thought that they were powerless to resist…"

"Who led the team to attack the vampires' building?"

"Langdon, deputy commander of the third group of the holy cast knights. There's also a team of Inhumans among them."

"Langdon is calm and steady. There won't be any problems." Chen Li trusted Langdon very much. "Tell Langdon about the unusual movements of the vampires. Tell them to stay alert. Also, pay attention to the safety of the branch stronghold."

"Yes, Bishop."

….

The central building of the vampires in Victoria City.

Zhao Nan sat in the driver's seat of the small car on the campus.

She was completely dumbfounded.

Was this what Fang Shuo meant by doing business with the Holy Court?

If the business didn't work out, he would just flip the table, right?

The pillar of light that soared into the sky in Victoria City, the evil plan of the Holy Court…

Not long ago, there was a huge explosion at the location of a pillar of light in the city. Even when she sat in the car, she could feel the violent tremors.

Why was it so big?

The entire Victoria City was in chaos, and the internet was also in chaos.

Only Zhao Nan knew what the source of all this was!

It was the young man wearing a mask.

Zhao Nan was a little anxious. She frequently scrolled through her phone and browsed a forum set up by a local player.

The entire Victoria City was under attack and the players were also affected.

The attack on the players did not come from the Holy Court, but from the vampires.

Looking at it, Zhao Nan felt strange.

The vampires did not go to war with the Holy Court, nor did they destroy the magic array in the city. Instead, they destroyed the city's infrastructure?

"Eh? The internet is down?"

The internet was down.

After a closer look, the phone signal had been cut off.

Zhao Nan put down the phone and looked out of the window anxiously.

Since some time ago, most of the lights in the entire Victoria City had been switched off.

"Eh? What's that…"

Zhao Nan's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her body from the car and carefully looked out the window.

It was a player!

At this moment, there were no guards at the periphery of the building of vampires. Two players were carefully groping their way into the inner area of the campus from the outside.

They seemed to be a little strange.

Hiding in the dark, they quickly scouted the inner area of the campus and then carefully retreated.

These two players did not look like vampires no matter how one looked at them.

Zhao Nan took the binoculars from the backpack in the back of the car and raised the binoculars to scout into the distance.

The Holy Court!

The holy cast knights.

A large number of the Holy Church's holy cast knights and believers formed a mighty team and charged toward the central building of the city.

They were beaten by the Holy Court just like that?

Why were the vampires so weak?

Why didn't they come back to defend?

Zhao Nan panicked.

She couldn't stay in this d*mn place any longer.

This business had really used up all the bad luck in her lifetime!

Zhao Nan thought to herself that she must have been stupid to search for junk on the second-hand goods website.

How much could she earn? This wave could cost her life!

Seeing a large group of bats gathering in the sky again, Zhao Nan frowned.

Gritting her teeth, she left the private car and ran towards the building of vampires.

Chapter 690: Ghouls

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"What the hell is Fang Shuo doing…"

Zhao Nan cursed softly as she ran in the direction of the vampires' building.

Not only was it the periphery of the campus, but even after entering the inner part of the campus, there were still no guards at the entrance of the vampires' building!

In front of the black building, Zhao Nan stopped.

It was too weird.

The surroundings were too quiet, but it made Zhao Nan feel uneasy from the bottom of her heart.

Zhao Nan gritted her teeth and shouted towards the door, "Is there anyone here? I'm here to look for Fang Shuo! He told me to come!"

There was no reaction.

Zhao Nan carefully leaned her head over, wanting to hear if there was any movement within the campus.

Chi chi chi…

There was an extremely slight sound of friction.

Someone was there?

Zhao Nan's brows were tightly knitted. She took a deep breath and pushed open the front door.

It was pitch black and quiet.

Zhao Nan turned on the flashlight that she carried with her, trying to see the layout of the entire hall clearly.

The building layout assumed a 'ring' shape.

In front of the hall was an open terrain in the middle. The moonlight directly shone down from the outside world, providing a weak light.

There was no one there!

Zhao Nan thought that she would be stopped by the heavily guarded vampires after she entered the building. She did not expect that there was not even a shadow inside the building!

"Chi Chi…"

Another extremely soft sound came from behind.

Zhao Nan's hair stood on end. She turned her head and shone her flashlight behind her.

What was that?!

Zhao Nan shuddered.

She clearly saw a grayish-brown shadow flash past the wall.

It was so fast that she could not see it clearly.

"Chi Chi Chi Chi…"

Zhao Nan suddenly raised her head and looked up.

A grayish-brown life form.

It was climbing on the ceiling. It looked ferocious and ugly. There were three vertical lines in the middle of its face. Its yellowish eyes were staring at her.

What kind of creature was that?!

Licker?!

It didn't look like it. Wasn't the Licker's skin red?

Zhao Nan's pupils suddenly constricted. For a moment, her mind was in chaos. She couldn't believe what she had seen with her own eyes.

Why would a Licker appear in the Vampire Apocalypse?!

The Licker didn't attack. It 'looked' at Zhao Nan as if it was observing.

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang!!"

Extreme nervousness and fear made Zhao Nan's instinctive reaction faster than her brain. She immediately took out her Colt and shot at the Licker on the ceiling.

"Chi Chi…"

The Licker dodged the attack and submerged into the darkness again.

It ran away!

"Thump thump…"

Zhao Nan felt her heart beating wildly.

Licker…

She felt lucky.

Luckily, it ran away.

She calmed herself down to think carefully to find an explanation for all these.

The appearance of a Licker during the Vampire Apocalypse could be due to the player's special ability, such as having a Licker-like pet at birth… or it could be that she was mistaken. That thing was not a Licker but a similar creature…

A mutated vampire?

Yes, that should be the case.

It couldn't be the invasion of the Zombie Apocalypse, right?

Too many things had happened tonight. Zhao Nan was constantly trying to mentally prepare herself. That suffocating sound rang in her ears again.

"Chi Chi Chi…"

The sound became louder and more concentrated.

Zhao Nan felt something and her face turned pale.

She carefully lowered the flashlight from a high position and looked around.

Under the illumination of the light, she was surrounded by countless Lickers who were slowly approaching her.

Zhao Nan's forehead was covered with a layer of cold sweat.

She silently raised the guns in her hands and made a surrender gesture.

"I'm here to look for Fang Shuo. Hmm, maybe I took the wrong path. I'll leave now…"

Chi Chi Chi…

The Lickers seemed to understand Zhao Nan's words and made way for a small passage to the right.

Zhao Nan raised her head nervously and used electricity to illuminate the stairway on the second floor of the right passage.

A familiar figure slowly walked down the stairway.

"Sandy?"

"It's you. I was wondering." Sandy hid his brush behind his back and threw the night vision goggles to Zhao Nan. "Turn off the lights and follow me."

Zhao Nan took the night vision goggles and turned off the flashlight. She carefully passed through the group of Lickers and followed closely behind Sandy.

"Mr. Sandy, what are these things?"

"Ghouls."

"What?" Zhao Nan was puzzled. "What are ghouls?"

"Ehmm, you're not from the Holy Court, so it's normal that you don't know. Ghouls are a kind of creature of the undead, and they're quite strong. In short, they're the latest product developed by our technology company. You've heard of our Ark Company, right?"

Zhao Nan was at a loss and shocked.

Ghouls? Holy Court? Technology company? Ark?

She could not connect these words together for the time being.

But Zhao Nan felt that they were very powerful.

According to Boss Fang Heng, Sandy would do whatever he wanted whenever someone asked about them, "The first batch of ghouls from the Ark Company came directly through the time tunnel. It's quite difficult to control them."

Zhao Nan clenched her fists nervously.

Her hands were covered in sweat.

It was certain that there was no large-scale company called the Ark in the current Vampire Apocalypse world.

Moreover, judging from the time teleportation passage he mentioned…

It was very likely that the other party came from another world.

And it was very likely to be a high-tier game world!

Zhao Nan probed carefully, "You can control ghouls?"

"That's a must. How can we play if we can't control them? The prerequisite is that we need permission. Let alone ghouls, what other vengeful spirits, nightmare demons, blasphemer…" Sandy rambled on about the creatures he had seen in the Holy Court's ancient books, he was just fooling around.

As he spoke, he suddenly covered his mouth and carefully looked around, he lowered his voice and instructed, "Aiya, I forgot. The Boss told me not to say this. I was just spouting nonsense. Just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Zhao Nan opened her mouth.

She was shocked again.

Nightmare demon!

That was not a product of the elementary game!

She guessed it right!

The other party was definitely from the game world of the higher realm!

However, how could a high-tier person enter the lower realm?

In a trance, Zhao Nan followed Sandy to the fourth floor of the hall.

From here, one could overlook the entire first floor of the hall.

Through the night vision goggles, Zhao Nan saw that there were many ghouls hiding in a corner of the first floor of the hall.

Just from what she saw, there were about thirty ghouls.

"Oh right, let me introduce you. This is Liu Maoxue, from the Pious Guild. He works with our boss." Sandy pointed at Liu Maoxue and then pointed at Zhao Nan, "This is Zhao Nan, a middleman. Hmm, not very reliable."

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 691: Clear Your Mind

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Unreliable?

If this was any other time, Zhao Nan would have argued for her reputation.

But now, Zhao Nan had no intention of arguing with Sandy.

She and Liu Maoxue nodded at each other.

At the same time, both of them saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Liu Maoxue's experience here was similar to Zhao Nan's, and he had only just recovered.

Seeing Zhao Nan and Liu Maoxue being fooled, Sandy was secretly pleased.

"Hehe, you two don't have to be so nervous. Don't worry. This group of ghouls is only the first batch. After we expand the passage, there will be more powerful creatures joining us… This group of Holy Light believers can't beat us at all. It's a piece of cake."

"I'm telling you, following the Boss is a big win for you. Just wait for victory."

Zhao Nan took a deep breath, her heart beating wildly.

That's right!

Fang Shuo and Sandy came from the high-tier world!

Through an extremely rare method, they could enter the lower realm from the high-tier realm.

This was the only explanation!

And the only one who had such an ability…

Zhao Nan's body trembled slightly due to nervousness.

Demi-human tribe!!

They had a high probability of being part of the demi-human tribe.

No wonder the other party was unwilling to reveal his true identity!

Also, there was an explanation as to why Fang Shuo did not choose to open the teleportation passage to the outside world after taking control of the vampires' building.

It was because they needed to modify the teleportation passage to build a passage between the advanced game world and the low-level game world!

These ghouls were transported from the passage!

Everything was explained!

Fang Shuo did not lie before.

It was possible that they came here for the holy water.

They needed the holy water to deal with the higher-tier demon-type creatures in the advanced game…

In a short while, Zhao Nan had already imagined everything.

It was very reasonable.

So… Those idiots at Lingxiao Guild!

They were the ones to blame for everything that had developed to this point!

"Chi Chi Chi…"

Hearing the sound, Sandy's eyes lit up and he looked up. "Eh, the boss is back."

Zhao Nan was still in a daze. She subconsciously looked up.

A group of bats flew down from the top of the building.

Hmm?

Zhao Nan noticed that these bats were carrying bags with their claws. It was very difficult for them to fly.

One of the bats flew towards them.

Halfway through, the bat returned to its human form and stood in front of them.

It was Fang Heng.

Fang Heng looked at the crowd and his gaze stopped on Zhao Nan. "You're back."

"Hmm…"

Fang Heng noticed that Zhao Nan and Liu Maoxue looked a little dazed. He was puzzled and glanced at Sandy, who was trying to trick them.

The latter smiled evilly, shrugged, and quietly gave Fang Heng a hand signal that he had everything under control.

It seemed that Sandy was very talented at lying…

Ignoring Zhao Nan, who had been fooled, Fang Heng raised his head to look at the sky and asked, "How's the situation?"

Venerate, in its bat form, descended from the sky and flapped its wings to hover beside Fang Heng.

"Marquis, the people of the Holy Court have arrived at the periphery of the campus and are gathering outside the gate."

"The team of the Holy Court did not immediately attack the building. They only sent a small number of people into the campus to investigate."

"In addition, we have expanded the scope of the investigation. In addition to a few teams of the Holy Court gathering toward us in the city, we also found a team of the Holy Court rushing toward the direction of Victoria City outside the city."

"Hmm, how many people are there outside the building?"

"Led by a commander-level holy cast knight, there are about 50 believers, about 200 holy cast knights, and some members of the Holy Church whose identities cannot be identified. The total number of people is about 300."

Commander-level knight?

Fang Heng's heart moved. He turned his head to look at Zhao Nan, who was making wild guesses, and asked, "What is the rank of the commander-level knight?"

Hearing Fang Heng's question, Zhao Nan raised her head.

That's right!

Judging from his lack of understanding of this world, he was most likely a person from a higher realm!

Fang Heng frowned, "You don't know?"

"I have a better understanding of the organizational structure of the Holy Court. Let me tell you," Liu Maoxue coughed lightly and said, "In the Vampire Apocalypse world, the Holy Court has three legions. Among them, the light cast knights and the holy cast knights are regular legions. The holy cast knights are more powerful and have better equipment."

"In terms of tier, the knight legions are divided into apprentice knights, normal Knights, armed knights, elite knights, captain knights, commander knights…"

Fang Heng felt that it was a little complicated and asked, "How about compared to the judges? What is the difference in their strength?"

Liu Maoxue directly gave an analogy, "One tier higher than the judges, and half a tier lower than the Marquis of the vampires."

So weak?

Fang Heng made a mental calculation.

He lacked the time for the proliferator to develop, and he currently had a serious shortage of Lickers. It would be a bit troublesome if so many of the members of the Holy Court rushed in at once.

A group of turtle shells was over there. It would take a lot of time to destroy them all.

And only a small part of the explosives had been brought over. There was no time to bury them.

Therefore, he had to think of a way to destroy them one by one.

Fang Heng thought about it and waved his hand. He looked at Venerate and said, "Continue to observe. I want to know the movements of the Holy Court at any time. Also, speed up the delivery of materials."

"I will follow your orders, Marquis."

….

Outside the building of vampires, the team led by the deputy commander of the knights, Langdon, gathered here.

"Commander, the reconnaissance team at the front has already entered the periphery of the campus. Other than the vampires hovering high in the sky, we have not found any traces of other vampires ambushing us."

"The campus building is very quiet. The vampires circling the periphery of the building should have already discovered us, but we haven't been attacked by the vampires along the way, including the building. From the observation from the outside, we haven't found any traces of vampires guarding the inside of the building."

"Commander, the team led by Kun is gathering with us."

Listening to the feedback from the scout team, Langdon raised his head to look at the sky again.

The vampires were constantly circling in the sky, observing their movements at all times.

Langdon felt a little frustrated for no reason.

Vampires had the advantage of flying, so they did not have a good way to deal with this kind of reconnaissance.

He could indeed think of a way to eliminate one or two of them. He could even eliminate a dozen or twenty of them with a little time.

But if there were hundreds or thousands of them…

Not only would it take time and effort, but it would also be impossible to do so.

The feeling of being watched by the other party at every moment made Langdon uneasy.

The vampires this time were very different from before.

What the hell were the vampires doing?

"Commander, the vampires have been completely suppressed by the magic array in Victoria City. They're just bluffing now."

Vice President of Shengying Gaming Company, Han Sheng, was also on the team.

He felt that this battle was almost certain.

How could they lose with their hard power on their side?

Seeing this, Han Sheng could not help but walk to Langdon's side, he continued to suggest, "Sir, we can confirm that the vampires from other regions have not come to Victoria City to provide support. In my opinion, the vampires must have known that they could not resist, so they chose to give up the central building and then set up a decoy to delay our precious time."

Chapter 692: Ambushed

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Langdon frowned.

Han Sheng's analysis was not without reason.

But…

Langdon had always been careful and prudent.

If the vampires set up an ambush in the building, it could lead to the annihilation of the entire army if they were not careful.

Seeing that Langdon was still hesitating, Han Sheng said, "Commander Langdon, if we continue to delay, we will only fall into the enemy's trap."

"How about this? I am willing to bring my men into the building of vampires to investigate and gather information for you. Even if I am ambushed by the enemy and die, we Inhumans have a special way to inform the commander of the internal situation of the building."

Langdon thought for a while and nodded. "Okay, I will leave it to you, Han Sheng."

Then, Langdon looked to the side and said, "Rhode, go in with them. If you encounter any danger, leave the building immediately."

"Yes!"

Seeing Langdon agree, Han Sheng was delighted.

He was sure that the interior of the vampires' building was empty. When the time came, he could complete the reconnaissance mission and occupy the entire vampires' central building. He could destroy the teleportation passage in the vampires' building and complete the main mission branch, earning a huge wave of mission rewards and contribution points.

A free reward!

Awesome!

[Hint: Player has triggered a side mission-explore the building of vampires.]

Mission requirements: Explore the building of vampires.

Mission difficulty: ???

Mission reward: Main mission contribution points, survival points.

Huh?

Seeing the game hint that refreshed in his retina, Han Sheng's heart skipped a beat. He put away the joy in his heart.

Unknown mission difficulty?

This meant that the mission difficulty was extremely unstable due to player's interference.

Tsk.

After thinking about it carefully, Han Sheng suddenly understood.

No wonder there was no defense put up. It was because of the players.

He knew that he could not keep up with real power, so he could only play some tricks…

Han Sheng was disdainful.

So what if he was a player?!

"Let's go."

With two teams of holy cast knights and a player team, Han Sheng led a team of more than 30 people toward the inner part of the campus.

"Let's follow."

Langdon immediately gave the order and led the rear team to follow Han Sheng's team.

When they arrived at the inner and outer periphery of the campus, Langdon signaled the team to spread out their vigilance and that they could rush into the building to provide support at any time.

Soon, Han Sheng led the team to the entrance of the hall of the central building of the vampires.

The door was unlocked.

Two holy cast knights walked forward, pushed the door open, and carefully walked into the central building of the city of vampires.

The hall was very dark.

The crowd filed in.

The holy cast knights emitted a faint holy light, illuminating the surroundings.

"Confirm safety."

The hall on the ground floor was empty, and not a single person could be seen.

He raised his head and looked into the sky. There was a square-shaped corridor. The middle part was empty, and the top part led directly to the outside world.

How could there be an ambush? It was indeed an empty fort strategy!

Han Sheng was pleased with himself. He quickly exchanged glances with his team leader, Rhode.

Both of them nodded at the same time.

"Be careful. Explore the first floor."

Leaving a small team of holy cast knights to guard the central hall, the rest of the holy cast knights searched the first floor of the hall.

"Team 1 has completed their investigation and found the stairway. The elevator has stopped supplying power and is unable to be used."

"Team 2 has completed their investigation and found no anomaly."

"Team 3…"

Soon, the holy cast knights gathered in the hall once again after completing their scouting on the first floor.

Other than the two stairways on the left and right sides, the rest of the elevator and other passages could no longer be used.

A hint appeared in the game.

[Hint: Your scouting mission has been partially completed. You can continue to expand the scouting area and increase the completion rate of the mission. You can also immediately return and submit the mission to Commander Langdon.]

The regional scouting mission had been partially completed. He could now return and report it.

However…

A sense of greed rose in Han Sheng's heart. He glanced at the main mission on him.

Of course, he had to find the vampires' teleportation array directly and destroy the teleportation array to earn a bigger reward!

The temptation was big and the risk was small enough!

There was no reason to stop now!

Before coming here, Han Sheng had conducted some basic investigations.

The vampires' teleportation passage was built on the third floor of the underground area.

"Continue. We'll go underground to investigate."

"Captain Han Sheng," Rhode walked to Han Sheng's side and whispered into his ear, "Something's strange. I sensed it when we entered the hall. There's a very weak undead aura here."

Undead aura? What the hell was that?

Han Sheng frowned.

He felt that Rhode must have made a mistake somewhere.

Vampire Apocalypse?

Haunting of the undead?

Was this some kind of advanced game?

"Are you mistaken?"

"No, the Holy Court is very sensitive to the undead aura. I'm sure there are traces of undead lingering here. I suspect it's a trap."

"Alright, keep your guard up. Let's continue to take a look. If there are any undead, we have to investigate thoroughly."

"Okay."

After giving the order to the team to be vigilant and investigate, Han Sheng followed the team to the stairs of the basement.

In the distance, on the fourth floor of the hall, a few pairs of eyes were secretly sizing up Han Sheng's team.

Sandy scratched his hair and looked at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng also rubbed his neck, feeling a little surprised.

This group of people was a little awkward.

Speaking of being cautious, the other party was indeed very cautious. First, they sent a group of scouts to investigate the building, but they did not charge in blindly.

They were really reckless.

The scout team headed directly towards the underground passage.

Zhao Nan, who was beside them, also subconsciously became nervous. She asked, "They are heading towards the underground passage. What should we do?"

"Let's do it this way. Leave it to me."

"Just nice, I'll take this wave of reputation points."

Fang Heng thought as he raised his palm.

The Lickers that were entrenched near the third floor spread out one after another and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

…

In the second basement, Han Sheng was at the front of the team that was carrying out the investigation. He was carefully watching his surroundings.

Chi Chi Chi…

Huh?

What was that sound?

Han Sheng suddenly became alert.

Was it coming from the ceiling?

He subconsciously raised his head and looked up.

"Bang!!"

With a loud sound, the vent above was pushed open with a bang.

Then, a dark brown shadow pounced on him!

What was that?!

Han Sheng's pupils suddenly enlarged several times! A distorted and terrifying creature was reflected in his eyes.

This was the first time Han Sheng had seen such a disgusting creature with his own eyes.

A name appeared in his mind.

Licker?!

Han Sheng was shocked and quickly dodged!

"Clack!"

The Licker landed on the ground and jumped straight at Han Sheng. Its speed was shockingly fast!

"Chi!"

The sharp claws tore a huge wound on Han Sheng's chest!

The Licker pressed Han Sheng under its body and raised its claws high again.

"Bang Bang!! Bang Bang!!"

The surrounding players reacted immediately. They hurriedly raised their handguns, aimed at the Licker and pulled the trigger.

"It's the Licker."

A player shouted, "Mutated Licker!"

Under the barrage of gunfire, the Licker gave up on attacking Han Sheng and fled to the other side.

Two shield-wielding holy cast knights immediately stepped forward and tried to block the Licker.

"Crack!!"

Shu Shu Shu…

However, the Licker jumped from the ground and easily climbed up the wall and then onto the ceiling. It broke away from the pursuit and disappeared into the darkness.

"Captain? Are you okay?"

The player team surrounded Han Sheng to check his condition.

"I'm fine."

Han Sheng took out a healing ointment and smeared it on the wound. Then, he wrapped it with bandages to stop the bleeding and let the wound heal quickly.

After making sure that he was not infected with the zombie virus, Han Sheng was finally relieved.

"Was that the Licker just now?"

"Um…" the player who had given the hint just now hesitated again. He said, "It's very similar, but also a little different. My previous life ended in the hands of a Licker during the Zombie Apocalypse… I think it should be it…"

"Why would a Licker appear in this place? This doesn't make sense."

"Yeah, there's no zombie virus here…"

"And that thing's vitality is too strong, right? If it was a Licker, its head would have been blown off long ago."

"But its movement and attack patterns are indeed very similar…"

The leader of the holy cast knights, Rhode, heard everyone's discussion and frowned. He said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet!"

The player team quieted down.

Rhode walked to the front of the players who were discussing. He had a serious expression on his face.

"I'm not sure what kind of Licker you're talking about. I can tell you with certainty that we just encountered a ghoul that had undergone a special mutation."

"Then I've seen the description of this creature in the history of the Holy Court. The most obvious feature is the three vertical lines between their eyebrows."

Rhode turned to look at Han Sheng. "I think the aura of the undead that I sensed before came from them…"

The players fell silent.

Mutated ghoul?!

Not the Licker?

Han Sheng was also confused by Rhode.

After thinking carefully, there was still a big difference between a Licker and a ghoul.

For example, the Licker's body was red due to the large ulceration of its skin, while the unknown creature he had just encountered was grayish-brown.

Also…

Han Sheng carefully recalled the scene when he had been attacked.

Raising his head, Han Sheng nodded and said, "Indeed, there are vertical lines between its brows."

So the thing he had just encountered was really a product of this world?

But why had he never heard of it before?

"Chi Chi Chi!!"

Just as everyone was puzzled, they heard the 'Chi Chi Chi' sounds again.

Looking in the direction of the sound, the ghouls that had previously escaped into the darkness returned and scuttled over from the other side of the wall.

"D*mn it! They still dare to come!"

Player after player raised their handguns and fired at the Lickers.

The number of monsters had increased!

This time, it was three!

"Kill them!"

Han Sheng, who was in the front row, gritted his teeth and raised his spear with all his might. He stabbed at the ghoul that was stunned by the bullets!

"Chi!"

The spear pierced through the Licker's body!

Han Sheng raised his foot and kicked it away!

Eh?

What was going on?!

Han Sheng was shocked.

He found that the ghoul only flopped on the ground a few times after its heart was pierced by the spear. Then, it pounced on him again!

"It's a mutated ghoul. They are filthy creatures from the death realm. They can't be killed by normal methods. Only the Holy Light can expel them!" Rhode shouted. "Be careful!"

Can't be killed!?

They had such a special ability?

"How can I be careful!?"

Han Sheng cursed in his heart.

He was now sure that the thing was not a Licker.

Because a Licker would die if its heart was pierced through!

But what should he do?!

Han Sheng once again pierced the Licker's heart with his spear.

"Get out of the way!!"

Rhode shouted and appeared beside Han Sheng. He raised the long sword in his hand and stabbed it down from top to bottom!

"Chi!!"

The long sword pierced through the Licker's body and nailed it to the floor!

"Squeak, Squeak, Squeak!!"

The Licker struggled crazily and waved its sharp claws.

Rhode silently chanted a prayer and the sword emitted a weak Holy Light.

"Hum…"

The Holy Light gradually shone, and the Licker, which was nailed to the ground, began to struggle crazily!

Dark golden incantations gradually appeared on the Licker's wound and quickly spread out.

"Chi Chi Chi…"

The Licker's entire body seemed to be burning and a white mist emerged!

After a full half a minute, the Licker gradually melted into a pool of blood in front of everyone.

Facing the players' gaze, Rhode took a deep breath and withdrew the long sword in his hand. He explained to everyone, "Only the strength of the Holy Light can completely dispel and purify it…"

Han Sheng felt guilty and asked, "Why is there an undead creature here?"

Rhode shook his head. "I'm not sure."

Han Sheng gritted his teeth.

He thought that he would get a good mission for free, but he didn't expect to encounter such a disgusting creature as the ghoul.

Not only was it disgusting on the outside, but it also had an undead ability that was even more disgusting.

Han Sheng admitted that he was panicking.

Judging from the strength and level of the ghouls, they were not to be trifled with.

If he continued to stay here now, the risk level would increase greatly.

Although he was a little reluctant to part with the mission reward, he still had to be alive to take it!

It was still alright for now. If he were to go deeper into the lower level later, what if he encountered a large number of ghouls later on? Wouldn't that mean the entire team would be wiped out?!

"Chi Chi…"

Just as Han Sheng was about to give the order to retreat, a series of 'Chi Chi Chi' sounds were heard.

This time, the sounds came from all directions.

Everyone instantly raised their vigilance and formed a circle on the spot to guard the surroundings.

"Hiss!!"

A grayish-brown shadow darted out from the darkness and pounced on the holy cast knight at the front.

"Bang!! Bang Bang Bang Bang!"

The tense player pulled the trigger again.

The Licker was hit by the dense bullets and flew back into the darkness with a roar.

Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the dense sizzling shadows sounded in everyone's ears.

The sound was dozens of times louder than before!

The player thought of something at the same time and their expressions changed drastically.

"Damn it! They're coming! Alert!! Retreat! Maintain the formation and retreat!"

Han Sheng shouted.

He realized that he had been ambushed.

An ambush by the ghouls!

The next moment, more than a dozen grayish-brown shadows darted out from the darkness!

The holy cast knight was the first to wave his sword and raise his shield to block the Licker.

"Captain! Oh no! There are more behind us!"

However, more and more Lickers swarmed out from the darkness! Even from behind!

Chi Chi Chi…

The sounds of friction became more and more frequent.

A fine layer of sweat appeared on Han Sheng's forehead.

He could feel that in the darkness, more and more Lickers swarmed toward the center!

This was bad…

How many of them were there?

[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed an unknown player (hostile Holy Court faction). You have obtained 43 contribution points.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed a holy cast knight. You have obtained 36 contribution points. You have received 22 vampire reputation points. You have received 192 survival points…]

A row of game notifications popped up in Fang Heng's vision.

Hearing the sound of gunfire coming from the bottom of the stairs, Fang Heng simply stood at the exit. He held a modified sniper rifle and blocked the entrance with a few Lickers.

If anyone was lucky enough to escape from the bottom of the stairs, he would be given a blow to the head.

However, there was no such thing at the moment.

Fang Heng roughly looked at the game hint. His gains were quite considerable. He estimated that he could make a small profit.

The battle lasted for more than eight minutes. The sounds of battle coming from the bottom of the stairs gradually stopped.

[Hint: You have wiped out the entire scouting team. You have gained an additional 1,659 contribution points. You have gained 300 Elders Council reputation points.]

"It's over…"

Seeing the game hints, Fang Heng put away his gun.

One thing was for certain, the holy cast knights still had the potential to deal with the Lickers who had the undying body effect.

However, their ability was limited.

Following that, another game hint appeared.

[Hint: Current player contribution level: 9,277, current main mission evaluation: A.]

[Hint: Current evaluation reward-randomly bind A to B-level skill book.]

Eh?

Fang Heng was a little surprised. There was actually a skill book?

Judging from this situation, if he refreshed to an SSS-level, would there be an S-level skill reward?

Fang Heng pondered.

This mission was quite good.

He had to think of a way to increase his contribution points to SSS-level and obtain the reward.

Liu Maoxue and Zhao Nan, who were beside Fang Heng, looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

The Holy Court was wiped out just like that?!

Shengying Guild was not some unknown third-rate guild. There were two holy cast knight parties in the team as support…

In less than ten minutes, they were completely wiped out.

That's right!

With such strength, how could he be a player in an elementary game?!

He must be a player from an advanced game.

Moreover, he was a player with necromancy abilities!

The Ark Company…

Liu Maoxue and Zhao Nan silently memorized the name Sandy made up. They decided to go back and check it out after this incident was over.

Fang Heng felt his body stiffen after staying in the aiming position for too long. He stood up to stretch his body and looked at the two people beside him, "There's a player on the team. The Holy Court outside should know what happened here very soon."

Fang Heng touched his chin and asked, "Guess what the people of the Holy Court outside will do after their scouting team is wiped out?"

"They will choose to guard the door and seek reinforcements on the spot," Liu Maoxue said confidently, "The President said that the leader of the Holy Court this time is the deputy commander of the holy cast knights, Langdon. He has always been calm in doing things and won't take risks easily."

"Hmm, that makes sense."

Fang Heng also thought so, but he hoped that the other party could rush in directly.

At that time, he could use his geographical advantage to kill them in batches.

After all, the other party was almost entirely made up of holy cast knights. Their threat to the Lickers was limited and their movements were clumsy.

…

Outside the building, the Holy Court's team was in a tight formation.

More than ten minutes had passed.

The building was still terrifyingly quiet. There was no news.

A faint light flashed and a player hurriedly went online.

"Reporting, Commander. The scouting team has been attacked. They've all been wiped out."

Langdon suddenly turned his head and stared at the player. "What did you say?"

Being stared at by Langdon, the player felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast. His body froze for no reason.

He had also just received the news offline.

Including their deputy commander, Han Sheng, the entire team had been wiped out in the basement!

The player's face was ashen. He continued to explain to Langdon as instructed by the commander, "Commander Langdon, the scouting team encountered a large number of ghouls during the process of investigating the basement."

Ghouls?

Langdon was stunned.

Ghouls were filthy creatures that were described in the Holy Court's records.

It didn't exist in this world, so how could it…

"According to Captain Rhode's deduction, they are a type of high-intensity ghouls that have gone through mutation. They are hiding in the dark and there are many of them. Our team lacks the ability to purify ghouls, and in the dark, we were completely surrounded by ghouls that blocked our escape route."

The player's expression was bitter as he said in a deep voice, "We were all wiped out by the ghouls."

The entire elite team of Shengying Gaming Company had died inside. This wave of losses had directly damaged the gaming company's vitality, and he might face unemployment tomorrow.

Once a player with the remaining number of rebirth times died, after rebirth, he would either choose to directly transfer to another area or choose to spend a large sum of King of Gods' points to resurrect.

After resurrecting, the player would receive a 'rebirth weakness' state for a very long period of time, and other than talent skill, the player's other skill levels would be correspondingly reduced or even forgotten.

Most players would simply choose to open a new mode after being killed.

Very few players could receive such a heavy blow in a short period of time.

Langdon looked at the vampires' building in the distance and fell into deep thought.

There were a large number of ghouls hidden inside the building?

Why was this so?

Why would a creature from another world appear inside the vampires' building?

According to the Holy Court's records, ghouls were not strong. Their mobility was relatively average and their attack power was also relatively limited.

There was an exception.

They had powerful vitality and they were extremely difficult to kill.

Normal attacks could not deal fatal damage to them, but the purification of the Holy Light could restrain them and completely drive them away.

And according to the Inhuman before him, the ghouls they encountered had been mutated, and they had powerful attack power and movement speed…

In that case, it would be very difficult for the holy cast knights to deal with them alone.

"How many ghouls are there?"

"This…"

The player frowned and shook his head, he replied, "I'm sorry, Commander Langdon. I don't know. The environment is too dark, so I can't determine the number of ghouls. Judging from the attacks and sounds, there should be at least fifty ghouls."

Langdon frowned.

They could not attack forcefully.

Even if there were only fifty ghouls in the building, the purification ability of their team was still insufficient.

To completely eliminate the ghouls, the team needed the support of the monks and missionaries of the Holy Court.

Langdon quickly made a decision.

"Immediately report to the bishop. We have encountered ghouls that have mutated. We need the assistance of the judges and missionaries to purify them."

"Understood!"

Chapter 695: Backup Plan

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the prayer hall within the Holy Court headquarters, Victoria City, the regional bishop, Chen Li, had a serious expression on his face.

He had just received the news through a player not long ago.

The team led by the commander of the holy cast knights, Langdon, had encountered the undead-type ghoul in the central vampires' building.

Chen Li did not understand.

Ghouls were filthy creatures recorded in the Holy Court's records and they should have existed in the death realm.

For thousands of years, there were almost no traces of the existence of the undead in the Holy Court of this world.

What was even stranger was…

The undead were actually with the vampires?

Why was that?

The enemy of an enemy was a friend?

Chen Li found it hard to understand.

Seeing that the bishop had thought hard for a long time but still had no reaction, Eleanor coughed lightly and said, "Lord Bishop, we need to make a decision immediately."

After pondering for a while, Chen Li raised his head and looked at the believer who reported, "The ghouls are creatures from the death realm. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"Yes, Commander Langdon believes that they have encountered mutated ghouls. They are much stronger than normal ghouls, and they are not affected by the effects of the magic array."

"Other than that, the number of ghouls hiding in the vampires' building is still unknown. The team lacks the means to purify the ghouls. If we forcefully break into the vampires' building, there will be a lot of casualties. For safety reasons, Commander Langdon requests for reinforcements."

Undead!

Ghouls!

Chu Yan, who was listening from the side, felt uneasy.

He was both excited and uneasy.

He had heard from his subordinates that Fang Shuo had relied on ghouls to destroy the scouting team of the Holy Court.

Now, he had confirmed from the Holy Court that Fang Shuo could control ghouls.

The ability to control a high-tier undead creature…

Chu Yan took a deep breath.

He had already expected Fang Shuo to be very strong, but he had still underestimated him!

Fang Shuo was definitely not someone from a low-tier game world! He came from a higher dimension!

And he had chosen to conceal his identity…

It was very likely that there was a bigger conspiracy against this world.

Chu Yan's mind was filled with thoughts.

He raised his head and looked at the bishop of the Holy Court, Chen Li.

The Holy Court was in big trouble, and they still did not know who the enemy they were facing was.

The uneasiness in Chen Li's heart grew stronger and stronger.

He had clearly controlled the magic array to seal the strength of all the vampires in Victoria City. In theory, the entire Victoria City had fallen into his hands.

Why did it feel like everything was slowly slipping out of his control?

Seeing that there was an opportunity, Chu Yan took half a step forward. Following the previous communication with Fang Shuo, he suggested to Chen Li, "Bishop, we learned that the vampires in the other regions did not enter Victoria City through the teleportation passage to provide support."

"Chu Yan, what are you trying to say?"

Chu Yan said in a deep voice, "Is there a possibility that the ghouls the scouting team encountered in the vampires' building entered the building from the death realm through the teleportation array of vampires?"

"I think we have to speed up. While there aren't many ghouls, we have to do our best to take down the vampire's building in the city centre. The longer we delay, the greater the danger."

Chen Li frowned and hesitated.

"I'll go, Bishop." Eleanor was also full of doubts. She stepped forward, nodded and said, "The ghouls are not difficult to deal with. My team can purify these filthy creatures. It's most suitable for me to be the reinforcement. In addition, Bishop, the church reinforcements from the surrounding areas are already on the way. For safety reasons, I suggest that they meet up first and then attack the vampires' building together."

Chen Li thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, you go. You must be careful. If possible, think of a way to confirm if the undead is from the death realm. This is very important."

"Yes, I understand, Bishop."

"Also, Lord Bishop." Chu Yan looked at Chen Li, "We have received news that the vampires have always been very concerned about the holy water. Can the holy water cause damage to the ghouls? Or are they very afraid of the holy water?"

"Holy water?" A hint of suspicion flashed across Chen Li's brows. "The holy water does indeed contain the strength bestowed by God, but there is no record of it being able to affect the ghouls."

"Lord Bishop, I suggest that we try to use the holy water to deal with them."

"Yes." Chen Li nodded. "There isn't much holy water stored here. Eleanor, bring as much as you can. It might be able to help."

Seeing that the battle meeting was over, everyone in the hall left one after another.

Chen Li heaved a sigh of relief. He turned on the survival radio and sent a message to his subordinates.

[Chen Li: Immediately inform Fang Shuo that Eleanor, judge of the Holy Court, has brought a large number of people to reinforce the building. For the time being, Commander Langdon will not launch an attack on the building. Also, I heard that the Holy Court headquarters only has a small amount of holy water. Eleanor has already brought most of the holy water there.]

[Chen Li: Also, some members of the Holy Court are already on their way. They will head directly to the central vampires' building to meet up. Be prepared. When that time comes, there will be more and more members of the Holy Court on the other side of the building.]

…

"Therefore, it is troublesome to deal with such an intelligent enemy."

Inside the building, seeing that Langdon and the other members of the Holy Court were still positioned outside the building and did not choose to attack it, Fang Heng was a little disappointed and took back his binoculars.

He thought to himself, "This is troublesome."

If the enemy was a zombie, he would be able to control the Lickers to farm evolution crystals and level up happily.

If it was the Holy Court, they would still choose to wait at the door and wait for reinforcements.

It was indeed troublesome to deal with an intelligent enemy.

It seemed that the Holy Court was not going to continue attacking for the time being.

"In that case…"

They could only carry out backup plan No. 2.

Fang Heng looked at Liu Maoxue who was beside him.

Liu Maoxue had been communicating with the team through the survival radio. He suddenly raised his head.

"Boss Fang Shuo, I just received news from my boss. I have confirmed that Commander Langdon is not going to take the risk to attack the building. The judge of the Holy Court, Eleanor, is coming with a large number of reinforcements. They are going to gather and attack the building together."

As he spoke, Liu Maoxue took out the survival radio and showed the news to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng looked at the content, nodded, and asked, "Then how long will it take for all the explosives to be in place?"

Explosives?!

They actually possessed explosives?

Zhao Nan, who was listening by the side, was shaken by this.

Why did they need explosives?!

Could it be that he…

Was trying to blow up the entire building?!

Liu Maoxue also quivered when he heard that. He lowered his head to check the survival radio again and replied, "The first batch of explosives has been delivered to the storage point. The next few batches are already on their way. It will take some time. The explosives are also an item controlled by the vampires. The Holy Court can't get too many of them."

"Okay."

Fang Heng expressed his understanding.

It was normal for them to not be able to gather all the explosives at once.

This was what the Vampire Apocalypse was like. Guns and gunpowder were controlled items. The vampires detested using them and forbade humans who were kept in captivity from using them.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 696: The Node

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Fang Heng raised one hand and made a gesture in the air.

The bat-shaped Venerate flew down and hovered beside Fang Heng.

"Marquis, what are your orders?"

"Keep an eye on the vampires outside and find a way to transport the explosives in batches. Bury them according to the blueprint I gave you. Be careful not to be discovered by the people of the Holy Court."

"Yes, Marquis."

Zhao Nan swallowed her saliva and looked at Fang Heng carefully.

What a terrifying person!

Once a large number of people from the Holy Court rushed into the building, Fang Shuo would use the explosives to destroy the entire vampires' building…

Including the vampires and the entire vampires' building, everything would be buried in the ruins.

Fang Heng felt that there was no point in continuing to stay and waste time with the Holy Court, so he continued to look at Venerate. "What's the situation of the core node of the magic array in Victoria City?"

"We've already investigated the 11 pillars of light nodes in Victoria City and found that the protection of three nodes is relatively weak. They can be used as a breakthrough point."

Very good.

He would let the Holy Court stand guard at the entrance. Taking advantage of this free time, he went over to grind for a wave of mission contribution points, evolution crystals, and the sacred study skill level.

"Where is the nearest weak point?"

"It's five kilometers away. It's an exhibition hall."

Hearing this, Fang Heng turned to look at Liu Maoxue and asked, "Is there a player team at the exhibition hall?"

"I'm sure there isn't. Including us, there are only three guilds that have connections with the Holy Court branch. Our people are at the headquarters. Shengying's people followed Commander Langdon to attack the building. They've just been wiped out. The last guild is cooperating with the team to repair the large-scale magic array's core node in the south of the city."

Very good.

The target was definitely the exhibition hall.

However, they couldn't invade it from the front.

The old place, the sewer.

"Venerate, continue to observe the movement of the Holy Court and report any special situations."

"As you wish, Marquis."

Fang Heng waved his hand to signal Venerate to do his work. Then, he looked at Zhao Nan and Liu Maoxue and said, "I'll go to the exhibition hall. You two stay here."

"Boss Fang, go to the exhibition hall? Take me with you! I want to go too!"

Sandy was bored out of his mind by staying here. When he heard that Fang Heng was going to the exhibition hall, he waved his hand excitedly and came over. "Take me with you. I'm very useful. The god of art will help you."

Fang Heng thought for a moment.

Sandy's performance in the Vampire Apocalypse was remarkable.

Since they had the zombie clones now, Sandy was safe in the zombie team since he was protected by the zombie team. It wouldn't be a problem for him to take him along.

"Alright, you come with me."

"Hehe, the god of art appreciates your decisiveness, Boss Fang."

Watching Fang Heng head towards the underground stairs with Sandy, Liu Maoxue and Zhao Nan looked at each other.

They felt strange.

Didn't they say that they were going to deal with the teleportation passage of the Holy Court branch? Why did they go underground again?

…

When they returned to the third basement, the Lickers were all gathered in the same spot.

The traces left by the previous battle were clearly visible, and there were still twinkling evolution crystals on the ground.

Fang Heng waved his hand, and the crystals on the ground were sucked into his palm.

[Hint: You have obtained evolution crystal fragments*5, complete evolution crystal*6, Tier 1 evolution crystal*6, Tier 2 evolution crystal*10.]

It was too little, only six crystals.

Fang Heng was rather disappointed.

Therefore, it was still a loss to stand on the side of the vampires.

The power of the Holy Court was too small, and there were not many people in total. Each and every one of them was as hard as a turtle shell…

"Let's go."

Fang Heng waved his hand and brought the Lickers back to the fourth basement.

They came to the storage room in the fourth basement.

In less than half an hour, the zombie clones had dug a deep hole in the ground that led to the sewer of the city.

Sandy was used to this.

The two of them entered the sewer area through the passage that was dug. Under the escort of the zombies, they headed toward the exhibition hall according to the directions on the map.

The sewer area of the Vampire Apocalypse was not as full of poisonous gas and negative effects as that of the Zombie Apocalypse. It was even built very wide.

Therefore, Fang Heng took out a portable bicycle from his backpack.

As they rode forward quickly, Fang Heng stroked his chin and asked, "Sandy, Lickers can be disguised as ghouls. Can zombies also disguise themselves as the undead… Zombies?"

"Ehmm…"

Sandy thought about Fang Heng's suggestion and said, "I don't think it's necessary to pretend. It looks like one now."

"Alright."

Ghouls were suspicious enough. Unless it was necessary, zombies shouldn't be exposed to outsiders.

The Licker's combat strength was enough anyway.

About ten minutes later, Fang Heng stopped his bicycle.

He took out the map of Victoria City and compared it with the map. "The exit is up there. You might encounter danger later. Follow me closely."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Sandy still had some lingering fear about being shot, but he was much more obedient now. He nodded repeatedly and said, "It's safer to follow you."

Climbing up the ladder, Fang Heng lifted the manhole cover on the ground and climbed out of the basement.

The exit of the sewer faced a corner of the exhibition hall.

In the exhibition hall not far away, a pillar of Holy Light rose into the sky.

Obviously, this pillar of light was much dimmer than the one he saw outside the hall.

A few holy cast knights guarded the entrance of the exhibition hall.

The Lickers who had changed their appearances drilled out from the inside of the passage and gathered behind Fang Heng.

"Go!"

Fang Heng gestured toward the exhibition hall in the distance.

The Lickers spread out and surrounded the exhibition hall from all directions.

…

At the entrance of the exhibition hall, five holy cast knights were on full alert, constantly scanning their surroundings.

Their mission was to ensure the safety of the magic array's structural point.

The captain of the light cast knights, Nick, did not dare to be careless.

"Bang! Bang Bang!"

A few gunshots were heard.

"Right side! Pay attention to the right side! Unknown creature found!"

"Enemy invasion!"

The believers of the church on the second floor discovered something and suddenly shouted.

Nick was shocked and immediately looked to the right side where the sound came from.

"Chi Chi Chi!!!"

A few dark brown shadows flashed by the corner.

They stuck close to the ground and quickly pounced toward the entrance.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The believers of the Holy Court who were lying in ambush at the window pulled the triggers in their hands and fired.

Seeing the strange creatures crawling along the ground, the holy cast knights who were guarding the door were shocked.

It wasn't a vampire?!

Then what kind of monster was it?!

Lickers appeared from behind the corner and jumped up from the ground one after another, pouncing toward the holy cast knights while withstanding the firepower of the handgun bullets.

Nick watched as the gray-brown creature pounced closer and closer until the vertical lines on the creature's forehead were clearly visible.

"Bang!! Bang Bang!!!"

Behind Nick, the members of the Holy Church in the exhibition hall pulled the trigger and fired in unison.

A dense barrage of bullets hit the Licker.

The huge impact sent the Licker flying backward.

"It's a ghoul!!"

A name appeared in Nick's mind as he stabbed the long sword in his hand forward.

"Chi!"

The sword stabbed into the stiff Licker's body.

"Bang!"

Nick kicked the Licker away and immediately shouted, "Stop them!! Inform the judge! We are attacked by a group of ghouls!"

In the blink of an eye, when the believers of the Holy Church reloaded their ammunition, more than ten Lickers appeared from every corner and quickly rushed toward the gate!

Nick took the lead and took a step forward, blocking the path of the ghouls. His long sword suddenly slashed forward!

"Ka!!"

The long sword slashed at the sharp claws of the Licker that was about to land on the ground.

What was going on?!

Nick raised his eyebrows.

He realized that the strength of the ghouls was not inferior to his!!

He took half a step back and tightened his grip on the long sword in his hand.

Something was wrong?

In the records of the Holy Court, the ghouls were a kind of filthy creature. They could not die and could only be expelled by the Holy Light. However, their various attributes were not strong.

Or could it be that the so-called 'not strong' in the world described in the records was different from theirs…

Nick's forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

Why would the ghouls appear in such a place?!

"Block the entrance! Don't let them enter the building!!"

Hearing that, the members of the holy cast knights followed Nick and used their bodies to block the entrance of the passage. They raised their long swords to face the ghouls that kept attacking from behind the corner.

[Hint: You are close to the central area of the magic array.]

[Hint: Affected by a powerful magic array, your skill-vampire bloodline's attribute bonus has been nullified.]

[Hint: All your holy attribute skill effect will be increased by 30%.]

"Heh… it's still the same old tactic. Do you still want to block the entrance? Can't you come up with something new…"

Not far from the battlefield, Fang Heng slowly walked toward the exhibition "You really think I don't know how to play?"

Fang Heng glanced at the game hint and muttered softly. He immediately controlled the Lickers from afar to engage in battle.

The Lickers were not affected by the magic array's weakening effect. They would also not be stopped by people blocking the entrance!

Under Fang Heng's control, the Lickers climbed up the wall. They broke through the building's defenses through the walls and entered the exhibition hall directly, they attacked the believers of the Holy Church who were hiding behind the cover of the building and firing cold shots.

"Damn it! They're climbing up."

"Cover me! Shoot! Shoot!"

"Save me!"

The believers of the Holy Church had never seen a creature like the Lickers. They did not have strong combat abilities, so they were no different from ordinary people when they were shooting from the back.

Once the Lickers, which had been enhanced with high attributes, got close to them, they would not be able to fight back effectively. It would be a one-sided massacre.

[Hint: You have killed a high-tier believer of the Holy Court. Your contribution points 24. Your survival points 29.]

[Hint: You have killed a believer of the Holy Court. Your contribution points 10…]

Line after line of game hints began to appear on Fang Heng's game log.

The tactical effect was remarkable.

Fang Heng thought to himself. He immediately controlled the Lickers to occupy the area on the first to fifth floors of the exhibition hall. At the same time, he blocked the other exits.

The holy cast knights blocked the entrance of the hall with the powerful defensive ability of the Holy Light armor. The Lickers struggled for a moment.

Nick became more and more anxious.

Why hadn't the backup arrived yet?

The more he fought, the more frightened he became. Not only were the ghouls powerful, but they also had the characteristic that they could not be killed. Only the Holy Light could purify them.

But in this situation, they had no time to complete the purification!

No, they could not defend the entrance anymore. They had to retreat!

Seeing the armor of the holy cast knights beside him break one after another, and the ghouls cut many wounds on their bodies, Nick immediately made a decision and shouted, "Go! Go first! Retreat to the ground first!"

After shouting, Nick had just turned around and retreated when his pupils suddenly shrank.

What was going on?!

Looking around, the hall was actually filled with ghouls!

About 20 ghouls were crawling on the ground, slowly approaching them as if they were demonstrating their power.

It was over.

Nick's mind was a little blank, and he was so nervous that he could not speak for a moment.

"Chi Chi Chi!"

More than 20 Lickers pounced on Nick and the others at the same time.

In almost an instant, along with the Lickers outside the building, the holy cast knights were surrounded by the group of Lickers!

Being compressed into an evasive space, Nick felt countless claw shadows waving in front of him.

Bang!

His armor shattered.

His body was scratched by the sharp claws…

[Hint: You have killed the holy cast knights of the Holy Court. You have received 42 contribution points for the mission. You have received 12 vampire reputation points. You have received 36 survival points. You have received Tier 1 evolution crystal*1.]

[Hint: You have killed the captain of the holy cast knights of the Holy Court, Nick. Your friendship with the Holy Court has slightly decreased…]

"Tsk, it's quite hard."

After spending more than three minutes dealing with the holy cast knights at the entrance, Fang Heng walked out from behind with Sandy and some Lickers and turned his hand to the floor.

The scattered evolution crystal fragments on the ground were sucked into the imprint on the back of Fang Heng's hand.

[Hint: You have obtained evolution crystal fragments*26, complete evolution crystal*17, Tier 1 evolution crystal*3, Tier 2 evolution crystal*2.]

His luck was average. He had acquired an additional three evolution crystals and was one small step away from leveling up.

Fang Heng thought optimistically.

The highest level up that a believer of the Holy Church could drop was a complete evolution crystal. It was almost useless. Only holy cast knights could drop crystals for leveling up.

"Ehhhhh…" Entering the exhibition hall, Sandy looked around and fell silent for a moment.

"What? Did you find something again?"

"Sigh." Sandy sighed, looking disinterested. Shaking his head, he sighed, "What exhibition hall? I thought it was an art exhibition, but it turned out to be a car exhibition hall."

"Let's go."

Fang Heng controlled the group of Lickers and continued to walk down the exhibition hall.

Through the vampire bloodline, Fang Heng had a clear perception that the core of the sealing node was at the lower level of the exhibition hall.

…

In the second basement, in an open hall, Judge Sun Chong led more than ten holy cast knights and believers to guard the sealing stone.

The Holy Court had been secretly operating in Victoria City for a long time, but they were still restricted by the vampires. Their development was still very slow, and they did not dare to expand and gain believers.

The staff had always been in a very insufficient state.

The defense of the sealed spot of the exhibition hall was very weak.

Sun Chong had just heard the commotion outside.

He did not look outside immediately. Instead, he ordered everyone to stay in the second basement and be on guard.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 698: Bind

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After a while, Sun Chong heard the outside world's voices become softer. He felt that the holy cast knights outside had already resolved the crisis.

Just as he was about to send people to the first floor to investigate, he heard rustling sounds coming from the stairway.

Sun Chong's heart skipped a beat.

"Be careful, be on guard!"

Just as he finished speaking, two grayish-brown shadows scuttled down from the stairway.

Sun Chong was stunned.

ghouls?!

"Bang Bang Bang!!!"

More than ten believers behind him pulled the trigger at the same time.

"Chi!! Chi Chi!!!!"

Two Lickers covered in special paint quickly dodged and directly climbed up the wall to avoid the bullets.

"Be careful!! It's the ghouls, knights, come forward…"

Without waiting for Sun Chong to continue shouting, more than ten ghouls swarmed out from the stairs.

The ghouls deliberately bypassed the holy cast knights in front of them. They ran wildly along the walls and ceiling of the second basement, pouncing on the believers behind them!

How could this be?!

How could the ghouls be so agile?!

Was there something wrong with the records of the Holy Church?

Sun Chong's expression suddenly changed. He quickly flipped the Book of Creation in his hand and raised his hand to aim at one of the ghouls that were crazily biting the believers of the Holy Church.

"Bind!"

Dark golden chains appeared on the ghouls that were pointed at by his finger. They were trapped on the spot and let out a hissing sound as they struggled with all their might.

Sun Chong frowned and immediately flipped to another page of the Book of Creation. He pointed at another ghoul.

"Sick!"

"Lord Judge! There are too many enemies."

Sun Chong raised his head and looked in the direction that the holy cast knight was pointing. His face instantly turned extremely pale.

A large number of ghouls continuously crawled out from the passage upstairs.

Almost in an instant, more than ten holy cast knights in the hall guarded Sun Chong in the middle while the ghouls surrounded them!

There were more than forty to fifty ghouls!

"Chi Chi!!"

The defensive net formed by more than ten holy cast knights could not stop the Lickers at all!

In a short moment, the believers of the church behind them were completely slaughtered by the Lickers. Only the last seven holy cast knights were still struggling.

"Lord Judge, what should we do?"

"Don't panic."

Sun Chong's mind was a little blank at this time. He could not understand why he would encounter a large number of ghouls here.

This did not make sense at all!

He kept flipping the Book of Creation in his hand and pointed at the Lickers to cast spells.

However, this was a drop in the bucket.

"Bang! Bang Bang!"

The armor of the holy cast knight shattered under the attacks of the Lickers!

What should he do? What should he do?

Sun Chong was sweating profusely.

He was only a deputy judge who had just been promoted. He knew that he had no way to break out of the current predicament. He could only watch as the holy cast knights were gradually being devoured.

Suddenly, Sun Chong noticed a figure walking down the stairs in front of him.

It was a young man wearing a mask.

Was he the one controlling these mutated ghouls? Was he the one who summoned these ghouls from the realm of death?

Sun Chong looked at the person in shock. "Who are you?!"

"It doesn't matter. Is there holy water here?"

"What are you talking about?"

Sun Chong felt that he was being teased and humiliated. He revealed an angry expression, "Ghoul! You will be judged one day!"

Fang Heng curled his lips and watched from afar as Sun Chong drowned in the group of Lickers.

[Hint: You have killed the judge of the Holy Court-Sun Chong. Your friendship with the Holy Court has been greatly reduced.]

[Hint: You have obtained a complete Tier 2 crystal*1. You have obtained 234 survival points.]

[Hint: Current evaluation reward-randomly bind A-level skill book (player's skill book is given priority).]

After cleaning up the basement, Fang Heng waved at Sandy, who was at the entrance of the stairs in the second basement, to signal that everything was safe. At the same time, he controlled the zombie clones waiting in the sewer to leave the sewer and enter the exhibition hall, then he gave the order to search the entire exhibition hall.

"Hu."

Sandy carefully arrived at the second basement.

In the second basement, the five sealing stones were arranged neatly according to the position of the pentagram.

A pillar of light rose from the center of the pentagram.

"Oh?"

Sandy was immediately attracted by the pillar of light. He took two steps forward and curiously looked at the sealing stones in the center of the hall.

"Is this the magic array's central node that you told me about?"

"Yes."

Sandy showed an interesting look and walked toward the magic array's central node.

"Interesting. This seems to be the holy energy that you mentioned. I can sense a flow of strength from the stone. I can also sense something similar in many of the precious artworks left behind by the Holy Court."

"Actually, it's a method to determine the authenticity of the artwork…"

Sandy muttered to himself as he approached the stone pillar. He stared at the stone pillar and looked left and right. Finally, he turned his head to look at Fang Heng. "Hmm… Fang Heng, you can control this strength, right?"

"Yes, but it's very difficult."

"Does that mean you can?" Sandy's eyes suddenly lit up, he continued, "Hey, look, we can divide the work together. I'll work on some artwork, and you help me pour some energy into it. When that happens, we'll split it 50-50… believe me, this kind of thing is very easy to sell. Many people are ignorant…"

Fang Heng looked at Sandy and roughly translated what he said.

"Let's create fake artwork and sell them, we will split the gains, 50-50."

He thought, "Good god, does the god of art know about your dirty deeds?"

"Yeah, we'll talk about it when we get back."

"Oh, Fang Heng, this thing is really powerful. I've never seen such an item with such strong strength flowing inside, but I'm not being picky. Fang Heng, look, the workmanship of this thing is too rough, there's no sense of artistic value at all."

Sandy reached out to touch the sealing stone. "Let me think about it. How can I modify it to make it…"

"I suggest you move aside. It's very dangerous. It will explode."

"Huh?"

Sandy was shocked and quickly jumped away from the sealing stone.

Fang Heng waved his hand and absorbed the evolution crystals scattered on the ground after wiping out the Holy Court defense team.

[Hint: You have obtained a complete evolution crystal*9, Tier 1 evolution crystal*3, Tier 2 evolution crystal*3.]

Hmm, very good. Three more Tier 1 evolution crystals.

Then, Fang Heng walked in front of Sandy and extended his right hand toward the sealing stone.

[Hint: The sealing stone has been detected.]

[Hint: Currently, there is a holy attribute energy source within the sealing stone that can be absorbed. Player can choose to absorb/convert (click here to see the details).]

"Absorb."

Eh?

Beside him, Sandy looked at Fang Heng's actions in puzzlement and let out a soft exclamation.

He could feel that the strength within the sealing stone was flowing into Fang Heng's body through the sealing stone.

Sandy instantly became a little curious.

Chapter 699: Absorb at the Same Time

[Hint: Affected by the current physique, attribute, status, skill, etc, the current conversion rate of the holy attribute is approximately 1826:1.]

[Hint: You have absorbed the holy energy within the sealing stone. Your skill-basic sacred study experience points 1.]

[Hint: You have absorbed the holy energy within the sealing stone…]

The game hints popped up in his vision one by one.

Hmm…

It seemed to be a little slow.

Compared to the previous sealing stone, the strength contained in this sealing stone was weaker, so it was slower to absorb.

It was a waste of time.

The main reason was that the conversion rate was too low.

With such a small amount of experience points, how long would it take to reach Level 10?

Fang Heng was a little frustrated.

Oh, right.

He had the zombie clone!

After absorbing the holy energy, it was not used for self-storage but was directly converted into experience points.

In theory, a zombie clone should also be used to absorb and level up!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he withdrew his hand from the sealing stone.

"Eh? Why did you stop?" Sandy stared at Fang Heng like a curious baby and asked, "Is there a problem again?"

"No, there's no rush."

Fang Heng gave the zombie clones an order and looked at the entrance of the second basement.

A moment later, the zombie clones staggered into the basement with shovels and steel shrapnels.

Then, under Sandy's puzzled gaze, a zombie clone walked to Fang Heng's side.

It held the shovel with one hand and pressed the stone pillar with the other.

The energy in the stone pillar was absorbed by the zombie clone.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has absorbed the holy energy in the sealing stone. Your skill-basic sacred study skill experience points 1.]

Ha!

It worked!

Fang Heng was delighted.

The zombie clone was still reliable!

Then, under Fang Heng's control, rows of zombie clones gathered toward the five sealing stones.

Soon, the zombie clones surrounded the sealing stones and placed their palms on the stones to absorb the holy attribute energy.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has absorbed the holy attribute energy from the stones. Your skill-basic sacred study skill experience points 1…]

The game hints popped up one after another.

Fang Heng nodded in satisfaction.

This way, the absorption speed was increased by more than fifty times!

He could still do other things in his free time.

The zombie clones were really useful!

With this thought, Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the pillar of light rising from the center of the five sealing stones.

The pillar of light, which was not strong to begin with, dimmed a little after being constantly absorbed by the zombie clones. It even flickered a few times from time to time.

"It looks like it can hold on for a while."

Looking at the zombies, Sandy was a little confused. He scratched his messy hair.

Fang Heng glanced at the game hint and patted Sandy's shoulder. "Let's go. The zombies found a locked underground chamber upstairs. Let's go and see if the Holy Court has any exhibits."

"Oh?" Hearing that, Sandy didn't hesitate anymore. His eyes lit up. "Okay, okay, okay. Let's go and have a look."

"Okay."

Fang Heng nodded and replied. Then, he controlled another zombie clone to climb to the top of the building. He hung a red cloth on the top of the building to mark it. He told the vampires who were scouting at a high altitude that they had completely occupied the exhibition hall.

…

In the luxurious reception room on the first floor of the exhibition hall.

At that moment, the place had been completely destroyed by the zombies.

The carpet and wooden planks on the floor had been forcefully cut open by the Lickers with their sharp claws, revealing an entrance with an iron lid on it.

Fang Heng walked forward and called the zombies behind him who were holding the iron pickaxes to start smashing.

The zombie clones surrounded the iron lid. After smashing it for three minutes, the alloy metal lid was completely destroyed, revealing a staircase leading to the bottom.

Sandy turned on the flashlight and shone it inside.

"Let's go in and take a look."

The Lickers opened the way, while Fang Heng and Sandy followed behind.

After walking down the stone steps, they saw a small room in front of them.

There were a few boxes and a desk in the room.

Fang Heng went up to check.

[Hint: You found the material-basic magic building material crystal*270, intermediate magic paint*2,733…]

Disappointed.

Most of the materials in the box were needed to make a magic array.

It was not common, and it could be exchanged for survival points.

But at the moment, Fang Heng did not lack these points.

It was a pity.

He still could not find the holy water.

Fang Heng thought, "What a pity.".

Sandy was standing in front of the bookshelf on the right side of the small room. He picked up a book on the shelf and flipped through it, looking very interested.

"Fang Heng, come and take a look. These books are quite interesting. I've never seen them before. They seem to be the only handwritten copies."

Eh? Books?

Could there be a skill book?

Fang Heng followed him to the side of the bookshelf and casually picked up a book on the bookshelf and flipped through it.

[Hint: You have obtained the Holy Church Chronicles.]

Description: Normal type of books.

Books that did not add any attribute would not be able to improve the sacred study skills.

Fang Heng flipped through all the books to confirm the attribute and suddenly lost interest.

Alright, there was no skill book.

He was still empty-handed.

He still had to go to the headquarters of the Holy Court to look for the holy water.

Just as he was thinking, Venerate's voice came from outside the secret chamber.

"Marquis, is it convenient for you now?"

"Please come in."

Venerate came down from upstairs, entered the secret chamber, and half-knelt on the ground.

"Marquis, a team from the Holy Court was gathering here three minutes ago…"

Oh?

Was it the reinforcements of the Holy Court?

Fang Heng's eyes lit up and asked, "How many people?"

"The enemy has less than a hundred people. In the team, besides the holy cast knights, there are also a large number of church priests. Therefore, the enemy's movement speed is relatively slow. They are expected to arrive in ten minutes."

Not bad, not bad. They were here to give away crystals again.

A team of more than a hundred people was estimated to be able to get 10 Tier 1 evolution crystals.

"Hey, Sandy, it's time to go."

Sandy had a new toy at this time. He waved at Fang Heng and said, "Go and do your work. These books are interesting. I'll stay here to study them. Don't worry about me."

…

Victoria City.

The chief judge of the Holy Court, Shelley, led the team to the periphery of the exhibition hall.

Previously, Shelley had received orders from the bishop of the Holy Court branch to repair the damaged magic array as quickly as possible to improve its perfection.

About ten minutes ago, she had just led the team to complete the rough repair of the magic array at another branch point.

Just after leaving the point, she noticed that there was something wrong with the Holy Light pillar of light located in the exhibition hall.

It was obvious that the energy of the pillar of light was greatly weakening.

She remembered that the magic array at this spot was not yet complete.

It was very likely that there was a problem with the structure of the magic array.

In order to ensure that the magic array in Victoria City was operating steadily, Shelley immediately led a team to repair the magic array's central node.

The team hurriedly entered the periphery of the exhibition hall and came to the entrance of the building.

Chapter 700: The Priests

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The exhibition hall building was plunged into darkness. The pillar of light rising from the inside of the exhibition hall had become extremely dim, as if it could be extinguished at any time.

Shelley frowned.

She realized that the problem might not be as simple as she had imagined.

After activating the city's large-scale magic array, the entire exhibition hall should be in a state of lockdown. Why was there no one on duty here?

Furthermore, there was a backup power source inside the exhibition hall. Why was there no light?

Could it be…

The exhibition hall had been attacked?

Shelley raised her hand to signal for the team to maintain their battle formation.

"Scout."

A small team of holy cast knights received the order and quickly entered the hall. Soon after, they retreated.

"Judge, there are traces of blood and fighting in the hall. However, we did not find any enemies."

"Take a few people and stay here. The rest of you, follow me!"

The pillar of light was in imminent danger. Shelley was concerned about the situation of the magic array, so she immediately brought people into the building to investigate the central node of the magic array.

After entering the building, the team formed a combat reconnaissance formation and went to the sealed position of the second basement on high alert.

The team had just arrived at the entrance through the passage when Shelley frowned and extended her hand to signal for the team to stop moving.

She sniffed.

This was strange.

The smell of vampires was mixed with a weak undead aura.

Why was there a weak undead aura?

The direction of the aura came from…

Shelley was trying to sense the exact location of the undead aura when suddenly, she heard a sizzling sound.

"Chi Chi Chi…"

Everyone heard the sizzling sound that was rapidly approaching.

Immediately after, in the darkness, patches of grayish-brown life forms emerged from all directions.

Shelley was stunned.

ghouls!?

When she thought of the undead aura that she had sensed not long ago, the first thing that appeared in Shelley's mind was this undead creature that was in the records of the Holy Church!

It was actually a ghoul!?

Sizzle sizzle sizzle…

The ghouls in the darkness quickly approached and surrounded everyone in the middle.

Shelley frowned.

Her mission was to repair the magic array, so there were not many holy cast knights on the team. Instead, there were a large number of priests from the Holy Church.

The Holy Court quickly adjusted its formation.

The holy cast knights were in the front row, surrounding the priest team at the back in the center.

Shelley thought, maintaining her composure.

Ghouls were filthy creatures from the death realm. Normal attacks could not kill them. The strength of the holy attribute could drive them out of evolution, and the priests of the Holy Church were very good at driving them out.

But judging from their performance just now, these ghouls moved very fast. It seemed like they had been mutated.

…

At the entrance of the exhibition hall, there were three holy cast knights who stayed behind to guard the surroundings.

"Chi Chi…"

There was a slight sound.

The holy cast knight turned his head warily and looked at the corner.

"Eh?"

He saw a grayish-brown shadow quickly flash past in front of him.

The holy cast knight shouted, "Who is it? Stop!"

The next moment, Fang Heng jumped down from the second floor and swung his staff forward.

"Bang!!"

Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the Holy Light armor on the two holy cast knights' chests, and they were sent flying by Fang Heng's iron rod at the same time!

"Bang!!"

As soon as they landed on the ground and before they could stabilize themselves, five or six black shadows dashed out from the darkness and quickly dragged the two holy cast knights.

The screams of the holy cast knights could be heard in the darkness.

The remaining holy cast knights were stunned and immediately shouted, "Judge! We have been attacked!"

How dare he call for help?

Fang Heng frowned, stepped forward and waved the iron rod in his hand again.

"Bang!!"

The iron rod hit the shoulder of the holy cast knight.

The holy cast knight did not care and directly fell into the exhibition hall behind him with the force of the impact.

Seeing his two teammates being dragged into the darkness, the holy cast knights were extremely shocked.

What kind of strange creatures were those?

They were too terrifying!

He had to immediately inform the judge to let them be careful.

After falling heavily to the ground, the holy cast knight tried to stand up with one hand, but his expression suddenly changed.

In the hall, on the ground, and on the ceiling, there were these terrifying creatures everywhere!

They were gathering in front of them.

Only then did the holy cast knight realize that Judge Shelley had long been surrounded by these terrifying creatures!

They were currently engaged in a bitter battle!

"Chi Chi Chi…"

In an instant, three Licker heard the sound and rushed towards him.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed the holy cast knight. You have obtained 36 mission contribution points, 22 vampire reputation points, and 192 survival points… ]

[Hint: Your zombie clone (Licker) has received purification damage. It has died…].

After getting rid of the three holy cast knights who were guarding the door, Fang Heng glanced at the game hint. He frowned and looked at the interior of the exhibition hall where the battle was ongoing.

"Licker has been purified?"

Shelley's team relied on the holy cast knights at the periphery to block the Lickers. The priests at the rear began to cast purification skills to continuously purify and expel the ghouls.

Hmmm..

Purification was a type of spell damage, so it could kill Licker with the undying body.

So, the court and the others bumped into each other by accident?

Fang Heng scratched his head.

It seemed that the court's side was not at a disadvantage, but in fact, Shelley was under extreme pressure.

Sweat kept dripping down her face.

These ghouls were too tenacious!

Only when they were constantly suppressed by the holy cast knights could they slowly purify the ghouls.

The whole process was too time-consuming!

The priests of the Holy Church not only had to continue to bless the holy cast knights and help consolidate their Holy Light armor but also had to focus on dealing with the ghouls and purifying them.

If anything went wrong in the middle and the ghouls escaped, all their previous efforts would be in vain!

Up until now, after tangling with the ghouls for so long, they had only purified three Licker.s

Shelley felt that her team was now standing on the edge of the cliff. If they were not careful, they would fall into the endless abyss.

On the side, Fang Heng was also frowning.

They had really encountered trouble.

The main reason was that there were not enough Lickers. They were unable to directly break through the periphery of the turtle shell of the holy cast knights.

This directly caused the Lickers to begin to lose members.

If this continued, the group of Lickers would become fewer and fewer.

That would not do.

There was still a solution.

And it was not difficult.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and took out Ding Min's specially made sniper rifle from his backpack.

The scope was aimed at a priest who was performing purification on a Licker.

He pulled the trigger steadily.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out.

The priest who was performing purification was like a live target. His head was steadily shot by Fang Heng. The Licker who was undergoing purification also immediately broke free from its restraints and quickly fled into the darkness to recover its HP.

"There's a sniper!"

Seeing their comrade's head suddenly explode, someone in the Holy Court team immediately shouted.

The priests carefully looked around.

But it was useless!

Hiding in the dark, Fang Heng reloaded the magazine and aimed at another priest who was purifying the ghouls.

"Bang!!"

Another gunshot rang out, and another priest of the Holy Court was shot in the head.

"D*mn it! He's here again!"

"Quickly think of something!"

In an extremely tense battle and faced with a ghostly sniper, the morale of the entire Holy Court team plummeted. They were unable to concentrate on dealing with a large number of Lickers when there were so many things happening.

After two shots, Shelley had a clear perception of Fang Heng's location.

She looked at the hiding place of Fang Heng not far away.

Although Shelley had already seen Fang Heng, she could not do anything to him!

The distance between them was too far, so she could not attack the opponent.

If the holy cast knights were to go over and capture the opponent, it was uncertain whether they would succeed. The entire team formation would be torn apart first. At that time, the church priests at the rear would have no one to protect them, they would be completely exposed to the sharp claws of the ghouls…

Bang! Bang Bang!!

Every 30 seconds or so, there would be a gunshot. It was like the bell of death where the life of the priest was taken away.

The atmosphere on the side of the Holy Court was extremely heavy.

They had already vaguely sensed that the sniper's target was the priest who was dispelling and purifying the ghouls!

In the dark, Fang Heng's expression was calm.

The Holy Court was truly extraordinary.

Even under such circumstances, the strong sense of conviction and mission allowed the priests of the Holy Court to maintain an extraordinary dispelling and purification stance.

The advantage was it was easy to aim at them. The priest who carried out the cleansing stood still and he could easily kill him with a headshot every time.

The disadvantage was that the number of Lickers was still slowly decreasing.

Bang!

[Hint: You have killed the priest of the Holy Church. You have received 10 contribution points for the mission, 12 vampire reputation points, 32 survival points, and Tier 1 evolution crystal*1.]

After killing the twelfth priest, who was performing the purification, with one shot, Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

The drop rate was so high!

The drop rate of a priest's Tier 1 evolution crystal was over 50%!

It greatly increased the efficiency of leveling!

This was good news.

Fang Heng was a little happy, but he calmed his mind and continued to aim.

Let's waste it together!

Fang Heng expressed that he was not panicking.

As the number of priests decreased, the Holy Court's originally slow purification speed became even slower. Even the holy light armor that replenished the holy cast knights in front of them was stretched to the limit.

Shelley was extremely anxious.

She also realized that if this continued, it would be a slow death for them.

But she had no other way.

Shelley's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

Was she going to die here today?

"Judge, don't give up. We still have a chance. Follow us later. We will do our best to make a gap to escort you out of here."

Shelley turned around and glared at the team captain of the holy cast knights. "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you asking me to give up on my companions?"

The holy cast knights could escort her out by force, but what about the priests behind her who were moving slowly?

Their movement speed was too slow. It was impossible for them to escape.

It was equivalent to abandoning all of them!

The team captain, Captain Wall, slashed the Licker that was attacking him with his sword and moved closer to Shelley's side, he said in a deep voice, "Judge, we have to let the bishop know what happened here. One of us has to leave! You are the best choice! Your life is worth more than ours!"

The two priests of the Holy Court beside him also shouted, "Judge, don't worry about us. Please make our sacrifice meaningful!"

Shelley frowned.

She knew that Wall was right!

If they fought with their lives on the line, there was still a chance to escape from here.

If they delayed any longer, they would all be wiped out!

"Protect Judge Shelley and evacuate. Let's go!"

Wall directly made the decision on behalf of Shelley. He ordered the holy cast knights to charge forward!

In an instant, the formation that they had maintained was broken!

Almost at the same time, the Lickers charged into the rear of the priest team and started killing.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed a priest of the Holy Church. You have obtained 10 mission contribution points. You have obtained 12 vampire reputation points. You have obtained 32 survival points. You have obtained a Tier 1 evolution crystal*1.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed a priest of the Holy Church…]

For a moment, Fang Heng's vision was flooded with a large amount of information.

"Big win! Big win!"

Seeing the Holy Court knights launch their final counterattack and run for their lives, Fang Heng put away his sniper rifle and sneered.

"You want to run now? It's a little too late."

He didn't control the Lickers. Instead, he asked them to speed up the hunt for the abandoned priests of the Holy Church.

On the other side, after breaking through the encirclement of the Lickers, Shelley suddenly felt a sense of hope.

Not many!

The number of ghouls on the periphery was really not that many.

In addition, most of the ghouls were attracted by the priests at the back, so they did not chase after them.

"Let's go!!"

Wall saw hope and shouted. He used his big shield to push away the ghouls in front of him, using his battered body to open a path to escort Shelley away.

Listening to the screams of the abandoned priest team, Shelley's heart was bleeding.

This was a team that she had spent more than ten years nurturing!

And today, she had no choice but to abandon them all!

Shelley gritted her teeth and followed the holy cast knight team in front. "I will avenge you… In the name of the Holy Light…"

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.

The group of holy cast knights in front of them slowly stopped.

What was going on? They were almost at the exit, why did they stop moving?

"Wall! What happened!"

Wall stood in front of the group, his face pale and he did not say a word.

Shelley walked forward.

Her eyes revealed astonishment.

Zombies!

They were zombies of the undead!

It was unknown when, but a dense horde of zombies appeared in front of them!

The horde of zombies was blocking the entrance of the exhibition hall!

Zombies were not as difficult to deal with as Lickers, but with such a large number of zombies blocking the entrance, it was impossible to break through in a short period of time.

"Chi Chi Chi…"

Just as they were hesitating, the sound of 'Chi Chi Chi' came from the back of the team.

After the Lickers devoured the priests behind them, they chased after them again!

What should they do?

Shelley's face was ashen.

In the distance, Fang Heng stood in the shadows far away. He put away his sniper rifle and made a gesture.

"Chi Chi Chi!!"

The zombie team and the Lickers swarmed toward the Holy Court!

Shelley and the last batch of knights were instantly engulfed by the zombie clones…

More than ten minutes later, a game hint appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: You have destroyed the magic array node repair team led by Holy Court Judge Shelley. You have gained an additional 4,359 contribution points and 600 Elders Council reputation points.]

[Hint: Current player contribution points: 17,767. Current main mission evaluation: A.]

[Hint: Current evaluation reward: randomly binding A-level skill book.]

At the last moment, Judge Shelley relied on a special restriction skill to enhance the continuous recovery ability of the holy cast knights within range, coupled with the holy cast knights' troublesome turtle shell characteristic, it took Fang Heng quite a bit of time to clear out this group.

If it wasn't for the assistance of the normal zombie clones, he really didn't know how long he would have to fight until the end.

Fang Heng waved his hand forward, and the densely packed evolution crystals on the ground merged into his palm imprint.

[Hint: You have obtained a complete evolution crystal*21, Tier 1 evolution crystal*37, Tier 2 evolution crystal*5.]

Priest!

Great!

Perhaps the level of a priest was a little lower than a holy knight, so the priest wouldn't drop a Tier 2 evolution crystal. On the other hand, the drop rate of a Tier 1 evolution crystal was particularly high.

Fang Heng calculated that there were still more than twenty Tier 1 evolution crystals left to complete the upgrade.

This was a bloody win.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Fang Heng ordered the zombie clones to return to the basement to continue absorbing energy.

Then, Fang Heng walked out of the exhibition hall and raised his head to look at the sky.

Venerate once again flew down from the sky and came in front of Fang Heng, kneeling on one knee.

Seeing how easily Fang Heng had taken care of the Holy Court's team, Venerate was not surprised. He even felt that this was normal.

This group of low-level Holy Court actually wanted to provoke the Marquis.

They were courting death!

Vampires were invincible.

Fang Heng asked, "What is it?"

Venerate knelt on one knee and reported respectfully, "Marquis, the Pious Guild has sent news. Some Holy Court teams from other cities are continuously entering Victoria City to provide support."

"In addition, we have already detected Eleanor's team. They are accompanied by a large number of holy cast knights. It will take about 15 minutes for them to reach the vampires' building."

"The explosives in the vampires' building have been set up."

That's right.

Fang Heng suddenly remembered that Eleanor seemed to be leading a team of priests.

Not bad, not bad.

Fang Heng licked his lips lightly as if he could already see a glimmer of hope of an upgrade.

"Tell Liu Maoxue that I will be back very soon. Keep in touch at all times."

"Yes, Marquis."

…

Victoria City under the night sky.

The pillar of light that rose from the exhibition hall gradually dimmed until it completely disappeared.

[Hint: Your skill-basic sacred study skill level has been upgraded to Level 3.]

The holy light energy inside the sealing stone was completely absorbed and lost its effect.

The conversion rate was really low. It was only Level 3 after absorbing all the Holy Light energy.

Fang Heng's disappointment revealed a bit of helplessness.

"Sandy, it's done. Let's go."

Sandy was reading a book by the side. When he heard Fang Heng's words, he blinked and even felt a bit reluctant to leave. "We're leaving just like that? Alright, wait a moment. You have to bring them with you."

Fang Heng looked at the sealing stone that Sandy was pointing at.

This thing was too big. It couldn't be directly put into a backpack.

Was he causing trouble again?

Fang Heng turned around and looked at Sandy. "Is it really necessary? Didn't you say that it doesn't have artistic value?"

"Yes, I did say that, but it turns out that after being optimized by an art master, the effect will definitely be different."

Sandy laughed while speaking, "Please believe in the god of art. As long as it's under my control, it's normal for its value to increase by millions of times. Fang Heng, I just found some content about the sealing stone in the book. I need to study it with real objects…"

"Alright."

Fang Heng shrugged.

He had a large number of zombie clones now.

Although the sealing stone was heavy, it was not difficult to move it.

Under Fang Heng's control, the zombie clones went forward and lifted the sealing stone together, carrying it to the sewer.

"And these books, I haven't finished reading them."

"Since when do you like reading?"

Fang Heng was helpless. He waved his hand and put the thick stack of books on the ground into his backpack.

"The head-on battle with the Holy Court is not suitable for you. You stay in the sewer security room."

"No problem. Perfect. I'll study the sealing stone mentioned in the book."

Bringing Sandy back to the sewer security room, Fang Heng immediately rushed toward the nearest pillar of light.

…..

Ten minutes later, Fang Heng returned to the building through the sewer.

Liu Maoxue and Zhao Nan looked at each other when they saw Fang Heng return.

They had been waiting in the building for a long time, watching the vampires move the explosives to various hidden corners of the building.

They did not know what evil plan Fang Shuo and Sandy were planning after staying in the basement for so long.

"Ahem…"

Liu Maoxue coughed lightly, he stepped forward, and said, "Mr. Fang Shuo, all the explosives have been sent over. In addition, the reinforcements from the Holy Court are a little more than we expected. They are all gathered outside the door, waiting for Judge Eleanor to arrive before launching a general attack."

"Yes, I understand."

Fang Heng answered without any emotion and looked out of the window.

He raised his head and looked into the distance.

There were more than twice as many people in the Holy Court as there were before!

In the eyes of Liu Maoxue and Zhao Nan, Fang Heng showed disdain and contempt toward the Holy Court outside.

Fang Heng's plan was very simple.

Recklessness.

He was not going to expose the zombie clones anyway.

He was going to target the mission completion rate.

When the time came, he would use the Lickers to kill as many people in the Holy Court as he could, and earn as many evolution crystals as he could!

Then the next step would be to directly blow up the entire vampires' building!

In any case, with such an explosion, not many Lickers would die.

With so many members of the Holy Court buried with them, he should be able to raise his contribution points to S-level, right?

…

In the outside world, Eleanor arrived with a team of priests and met up with Langdon.

After a simple discussion, the two of them immediately launched a general attack on the vampires' building.

Before entering, Eleanor distributed holy water to the team.

The holy cast knights led the way into the hall.

Following closely behind was a large number of priests from the Holy Church led by Eleanor.

Upon entering the hall and seeing the pitch-black building, Eleanor frowned slightly.

She opened her hand forward.

"Buzz…"

A ball of light rose into the air.

The light dispersed the darkness in the hall.

Langdon scanned his surroundings vigilantly, indicating for the team to occupy the entrances and exits on the first floor. He said in a deep voice, "Previously, the scouting team was attacked by ghouls when they were heading to the pathway to the third basement."

"We'll first search the high-rise buildings on the ground, then we'll search the entire building in batches."

Before Langdon could finish, Eleanor suddenly raised her head and looked up.

"Come out, I can already feel your aura."

Chapter 703: Surrounded

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Fang Heng frowned.

Was it an aura?

He had heard from the people of the Holy Court more than once that they could sense the aura of the undead and vampires on his body.

Forget about the aura of the vampires. After all, he had the vampire bloodline.

But the aura of the undead?

Was it because he had stayed in the fallen corridor for too long and was tainted by the aura? Or was it because of elementary necromancy? Or was it because he had absorbed a lot of necromancy energy?

As he pondered, Fang Heng revealed himself from behind a stone pillar on the third floor.

"Who are you?"

Eleanor's heart was filled with uncertainty. She realized that this person's body was filled with the smell of undead and vampires.

Fang Heng shrugged and casually said, "A vampire-Fang Shuo, a necromancer who believes in the Holy Light."

Eleanor stared at Fang Heng.

It was too strange! Why did he have a weak aura of Holy Light on him?

Could he be a fallen person of the Holy Light?

"Why do you have the aura of the Holy Light on you? Who exactly are you?"

"Is it strange? There are many existences who believe in Holy Light in the world, and the Holy Court is just one of them." Fang Heng looked at Eleanor. "Do you want to consider helping me?"

"Forget it. I wouldn't dare to accept you even if you promised me. You people of the Holy Court are all untrustworthy."

As he spoke, Fang Heng waved his hand.

In the next moment, sizzling sounds rang in everyone's ears.

Hearing the strange sounds, the members of the Holy Court immediately gathered together.

In the next moment, a large number of ghouls appeared from every corner of the hall and immediately rushed toward the holy cast knights!

"Fight!"

Langdon immediately shouted when he saw the situation!

The moment the battle started, Langdon realized that something was wrong.

He did not expect the Licker's agility to be able to evolve to such a degree. It could easily climb along the walls and escape from the various narrow ventilation duct entrances!

Eleanor also took out the Book of Creation and led the priest to chant a prayer.

"Bind!"

Holding the Book of Creation with one hand, Eleanor pointed at a certain spot.

The three Lickers were entangled by the dark golden chains at the same time. After they landed on the ground, they struggled and rolled around crazily.

"Tsk, it's quite troublesome."

The number of Lickers under them was not large to begin with due to the lack of time to reproduce and proliferate. Moreover, a small portion of them had been exhausted d in the exhibition hall just now.

At this moment, faced with a large number of Holy Court teams, the Lickers were indeed in a tight spot.

"I hope they can hold on for a little longer. Let me level up first…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself in a low voice. He slowly retreated into the darkness and raised his sniper rifle to aim at Eleanor.

Almost instantly, Eleanor sensed a powerful threat approaching!

She had no choice but to stop chanting and dodge to the side.

"Bang!!!"

A gunshot rang out.

The priest beside Eleanor who was undergoing purification was shot in the head.

[Hint: You have killed the priest of the Holy Church. You have received 10 mission contribution points. You have received 12 vampire reputation points. You have received 32 survival points. You have received Tier 1 evolution crystal*1.]

Tier 1 evolution crystal 1.

Fang Heng was expressionless as he slowly switched the magazine.

With Fang Heng secretly aiming at her with a sniper rifle, Eleanor was unable to control the Book of Creation to focus on casting her skills.

Because once she released her skills, she would be locked onto by the other party.

She felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, she was also unable to get past the group of holy cast knights who were fighting fiercely at the front. She could only be restrained by her opponent.

And each time the other party made a killing, he took away the life of an elementary priest of the Holy Court!

Eleanor looked at Fang Heng who was high up and said in a deep voice, "Langdon, think of a way to restrain him."

"Yes, I'll deal with him."

As Langdon said that, the long sword in his hand exploded with a scorching Holy Light, sweeping away a group of ghouls in the surrounding area. The tip of his foot stomped on the ground fiercely and he leaped high up.

"You're disturbing my leveling again! How troublesome!"

Fang Heng was enjoying his killing. Seeing this, he shifted the muzzle of his gun and steadily pulled the trigger in his hand.

Langdon, who was rapidly moving forward, leaped up to the second floor. The tip of his foot tapped lightly on the ground and he quickly dodged to the right.

The bullet grazed past Langdon's shoulder.

"Bang!!"

The dark golden armor on the right side of his shoulder instantly exploded.

"Crack…"

Landing on the ground again, Langdon stomped hard on the ground with both his legs. A shallow pit appeared on the ground under his feet as he leaped toward Fang Heng on the third floor.

With a swooping force, Langdon used his light cast holy sword and slashed down with all his might.

Fang Heng frowned and put away the sniper rifle. He took out an iron rod with his right hand and smashed it forward.

"Bang!!"

The iron rod made an explosive sound the moment it came into contact with the sword.

Fang Heng was shocked to find that the iron rod in his hand had been shattered by the opponent's long sword!

Iron fragments flew in all directions!

"Chi!"

After breaking the iron rod, the light cast holy sword stabbed into the left side of Fang Heng's heart.

Fang Heng lowered his head and saw fresh blood flowing out of the wound.

[Hint: You have received penetrating damage, HP -6,779.]

[Hint: You have entered the laceration bleeding state, and your HP continues to decrease…]

Langdon's expression was calm as he stared into Fang Heng's eyes under the mask, he said coldly, "You should be proud of yourself for being able to break my Holy Light armor so easily. Now, let them surrender and return with me to the Holy Court to be judged."

Fang Heng slowly raised his head and stared at Langdon as well. A mocking smile appeared on his face. "Wow, you're quite impressive."

Langdon's expression changed slightly.

He noticed that the opponent did not seem to have entered the state of near death as he had expected.

He had clearly been stabbed in the chest by the holy cast long sword, but he seemed to be fine.

The blood flowing out of the wound on Fang Heng's body dripped down along the long sword and onto the ground.

"Don't force yourself. The strength of the Holy Court is beyond your imagination. I'll say it for the last time, tell them to stop."

"Silly bird, I said the powerful one is not you, but the equipment in your hands."

Langdon's eyelids twitched. He instantly felt that something was wrong.

Oh no!

Almost subconsciously, Langdon immediately wanted to pull out his long sword, but he was too late!

He looked down and saw that the opponent's hands were tightly holding the blade of the long sword.

Blood kept flowing out of the wound that his opponent had torn open.

Has he gone mad??

This thought flashed through Langdon's mind.

Sizzle! Sizzle!!

The blood made a sizzling sound and formed tiny drops of blood that floated in the air in front of Langdon's eyes.

What was going on?!

In the next moment, the blood drops that were floating in the air instantly condensed into a palm and charged forward fiercely, grabbing onto Langdon's throat tightly.

Fine red secret runes appeared around the blood-red palm and quickly spread out around his neck.

Langdon suddenly realized that the flow of the Holy Light's strength on his body had greatly slowed down under the influence of the incantation!

It was so slow that it was almost impossible to activate!

Almost at the same time, all the Lickers in the hall gave up on the enemy in front of them!

They rushed up to the third floor without caring about anything else!

They rushed straight towards Langdon!

"Commander Langdon!!"

Seeing that the Lickers were being controlled, the holy cast knights' eyes turned red as they desperately wanted to go forward to support.

Chapter 704: Disarm

However, the holy cast knights, who were known for their defensive abilities, were no match for the Lickers in terms of speed.

Moreover, the Lickers could climb up the wall and ceiling, but they could only go around by taking the stairs.

The Holy Court could only watch as Langdon was drowned in the middle of more than 30 ghouls.

In the blink of an eye, the group of Lickers dispersed.

[Hint: You have killed Langdon, the deputy commander of the Holy Court's holy cast knights. Your friendship with the Holy Court has been greatly reduced.]

[Hint: You have obtained Tier 2 crystal*1. You have acquired 134 survival points.]

[Hint: Your contribution points in the main mission 450, vampire reputation points 400.]

"Chi!!"

Fang Heng slowly pulled out the silver long sword that had pierced his chest.

[Hint: You have obtained an item-light cast holy sword.]

[Hint: It has been detected that you have mastered basic sacred study. You have obtained the equipment permission for that equipment.]

Item: Light cast holy sword.

Description: A piece of equipment that can be worn by a commander-level holy cast knight.

Attribute: Additional 13% damage when casting a sacred skill.

Attribute: Sharpness 3.

Not bad.

Sharpness 3 was considered a good attribute.

When using the same weapon, Fang Heng could gain quite an advantage. When using a piercing attack, he could also add a small amount of damage.

The additional 13% bonus from a holy skill was the icing on the cake.

Fang Heng held his long sword in his hand and tried to swing it.

It was just a little too light.

After being used to using a machete and iron rods, he still felt that it was not very convenient.

In the distance, in another building, Zhao Nan and the other two were using night vision binoculars to observe the interior of the building.

They witnessed Langdon being devoured by the ghouls.

Terrifying…

Zhao Nan was extremely shocked.

Commander of the knights, Langdon.

Under the enhancement of the magic array of the entire Victoria City, his strength had definitely reached the Marquis-level of the vampires!

However, he was still defeated by Fang Shuo…

Fang Shuo's strength had already surpassed the normal strength of the Vampire Apocalypse by a large margin.

Liu Maoxue suddenly frowned and patted Zhao Nan's shoulder.

"Hey, Zhao Nan, look over there…"

Looking in the direction that Liu Maoxue was pointing, Zhao Nan's brows were tightly furrowed.

"Undead! You will pay the price for what you have done! Don't even think about polluting this pure land!" Eleanor's face was slightly distorted due to her anger, she condensed a mark on her chest, "Even if I have to sacrifice my life as the price, I will seal you here!"

Golden light blossomed on Eleanor's chest, spreading out in circles.

The golden pillar of light that soared to the sky exploded once again in the building!

"Hiss…"

The Lickers let out low roars that sounded like they were demonstrating their power.

Under Fang Heng's control, they pounced on the holy cast knights on the first floor once again.

"What's that?"

Zhao Nan put down the binoculars and looked at Liu Maoxue.

"It's a special skill that can greatly improve the strength of the surrounding Holy Court's team. It's also a kind of distress signal." Liu Maoxue frowned and pointed to the outside of the building on the right. "Look outside."

"Whoosh!"

"Bang! Bang Bang!"

Looking from a high place, a few holy cast knights outside the building lit up a special firework. The members of the Holy Court who had been guarding the door as reserves rushed into the vampires' building.

The fireworks emitted a golden light into the air.

"It's a distress signal from the Holy Court. It represents an extreme crisis and to call for all possible support."

Liu Maoxue lowered his head and looked at the survival radio as he spoke. He hurriedly edited a message and sent it out. He then raised his head and said, "It's no longer safe here. Boss Fang Shuo should be using explosives. We have to leave first."

On the third floor, Fang Heng observed the movement of the Holy Court. He raised his right hand high and gestured for Liu Maoxue and Zhao Nan, who were in the other building, to leave.

Then, he raised his sniper rifle again and aimed the muzzle at Eleanor.

"Bang!!!"

"Eh?"

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

A holy cast knight raised his black shield in front of Eleanor.

"Boom!!"

The special sniper bullet's second explosion sent the holy cast knight flying out!

Immediately, another elite holy cast knight rushed up and raised his shield in front of Eleanor.

"Interesting. You've been provoked, haven't you?"

Fang Heng whispered softly and switched the magazine, allowing Eleanor to continue casting her skills for a while before turning her target towards the priests at the back.

Those priests did not have the protection of the holy cast knights.

Continue to farm experience points!

Bang!

[Hint: You have killed a priest of the Holy Church. You have received…]

One shot, one priest of the Holy Church down.

As the priests fell one by one, the number of Lickers was also rapidly decreasing.

It was about time.

Seeing a large number of Holy Church's holy cast knights and believers rush into the building, even running up to the second floor, Fang Heng waved his hand.

[Hint: You have obtained a complete evolution crystal*7, Tier 1 evolution crystal*9.]

There were still 15 crystals left to level up.

It was a pity that he was just left with that small margin.

There was no way for him to continue now.

A large number of holy cast knights charged at Fang Heng.

"Catch him!"

Fang Heng looked at the holy cast knights charging at him, quickly put away his sniper rifle, and hid in the darkness.

Fang Heng pressed the detonator and closed his eyes.

A slightly red magic array rose from under his feet.

…

In Victoria City, Ah Ding drove a small white car straight to the vampires' building in the center of the city.

After entering the city, the two of them also triggered the mission of Victoria City under the Holy Light.

Naturally, the two of them automatically belonged to the camp of vampires.

From what Ah Ding had seen on the way into Victoria City, the entire Victoria City had fallen into chaos.

The traffic at the city's main entrances and exits had been cut off.

Ah Ding had no choice but to force his way through an unknown path to enter the city.

Small cars sped along the streets.

Vampires occasionally flew by in the sky. They were scouting from high up in the sky.

Such a large and intensive scouting method…

Meng Hao observed the mission description and thought to himself.

This didn't seem like the usual fighting style of the vampires.

From this, it was possible that someone was controlling them from behind.

Furthermore, this type of behavior seemed to be the work of a player.

"F*ck! Boss! Look over there, what is that thing?"

Ah Ding, who was driving, suddenly cried out in alarm.

He looked up into the distance, and saw a pillar of Holy Light rising up from the vampires' building!

Next, several more signal flares exploded around the vampires' building.

Meng Hao's heart sank.

He could sense the smell of a mission.

"That's the Holy Court's distress signal. Hurry up. We need to get there as soon as possible."

"Okay."

Ah Ding agreed. He stepped on the gas pedal and sped off toward the vampires' building.

As soon as the car entered the periphery of the campus of the vampires' building, buses and private cars appeared on the road in front of them.

"D*mn, why did they stop? They have no sense of morality at all…"

Meng Hao's eyes focused on the buses. His eyelids twitched. He slapped Ah Ding, who was about to retort, and shouted, "Quick! Stop the bus!"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 705: Destruction

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Upon hearing this, Ah Ding was startled. He slammed on the brakes and quickly parked the car to the side.

"Boss, what's the situation?"

"Shh." Meng Hao motioned for Ah Ding to lower her voice. He pointed to the right side and said, "Look over there."

Ah Ding looked behind the bus that Meng Hao was pointing at, and his heart also tightened.

It was the holy cast knights of the Holy Court!

A large number of holy cast knights and followers who belonged to the Holy Court got off the bus and rushed toward the central vampires' building to provide assistance.

There were nearly a hundred of them.

Meng Hao couldn't help but look up into the sky.

The vampires still had no intention of joining the battle. They hovered in the air to investigate.

In the distance, the sky was already beginning to glow with a touch of the morning light.

It was almost dawn.

There was at most an hour left.

By that time, the abilities of the vampires would be further weakened.

Ah Ding was extremely nervous. He couldn't help but lower his voice and ask, "Boss, what should we do?"

"We need to think of a way to sneak into the building to take a look."

"Look, a large number of vampires are still scouting the periphery, but the building can resist the attack of the Holy Court. It can even force the Holy Court to send out a distress signal… ." Meng Hao thought for a moment before quickly coming to a decision, "If my guess is correct, the vampires' building must have some sort of item or item that can resist the magic array of Victoria City."

"We need to think of a way to obtain a mission from the vampires and get rid of the Holy Court."

Listening to Meng Hao's analysis, a look of admiration appeared in Ah Ding's eyes.

"Mm, okay."

Ah Ding was just about to open the door when suddenly, a huge boom rang out in his ear.

"Boom!!!!"

What was going on? An explosion?!

Just as this thought flashed through his mind, intense tinnitus immediately followed!

Along with the violent tremors under his feet, the entire car was sent flying by the air blast from outside!

In the next second, Ah Ding felt as if the world was spinning!

He and the car rolled out for more than ten meters.

After a long time, Ah Ding struggled out of the car and poured a mouthful of recovery potion into his mouth.

Outside the car, dust and smoke filled the air.

"Bah!!"

The smell of dirt filled his mouth.

Ah Ding slowly came back to his senses. He spat on the ground and looked for Meng Hao. "Boss, are you okay?"

Meng Hao stood in front of a cloud of dust. For a moment, he was in a daze.

Ah Ding followed Meng Hao and looked up at the nearby vampires' building.

As the dust settled, his lips twitched.

Within a few seconds, the entire black vampires' building completely collapsed in front of the two of them.

Even the Holy Court, which had just entered the hall, was engulfed by the collapsed building.

"No way! Why are they playing so big?"

Ah Ding couldn't help but feel a bit scared. If they had entered the vampires' building a few minutes earlier, they would have perished as well.

"Boss, we should… ."

Meng Hao's mind went blank for a moment as he stared at the vampires' building.

It didn't take long for him to come to a realization.

So the entire plan was a conspiracy?

A conspiracy against the Holy Court?

To draw the power of the Holy Court inside and outside of Victoria City into the vampires' building, then destroy the building and destroy it!

A ruthless character!

Meng Hao sighed inwardly.

The price was too high!

At the cost of the entire central vampires' building, the vampires had spent a great deal of effort to build the teleportation passage inside the building. There were even a large number of vampires inside the building.

Was it really all for nothing?

All for nothing?

If he thought about it carefully, perhaps everything from the beginning was a set-up.

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be the work of a player.

What was wasted was the resources of the vampires, and the player could use the mission to earn a huge reward!

"Boss, what should we do next?"

Meng Hao slowly calmed down from his shock. He focused and thought carefully.

If he was the one who had set up the plan, then what would he do after destroying the living forces of the vampires in Victoria City?

Meng Hao looked up at the pillars of light rising up in the city.

"Pillars of light!"

That's right! Seal the nodes of the magic array!

The enemy would definitely choose to destroy the sealing nodes next!

This was also part of the enemy's plan!

Such a greedy plan, choosing to wipe out all of the living forces of the Holy Court and all of the pillars of light in one fell swoop…

Therefore, it was very likely that the enemy had chosen to close the teleportation passage in order to prevent the vampires from other regions from entering the city and destroying his plan, thus preventing him from receiving the full mission reward.

So greedy?!

Suddenly, Meng Hao thought of a certain person he had met in the Zombie Apocalypse game.

That guy who used cheats.

Ah Ding's face was filled with confusion. "Uh, boss, what pillar of light Pillar? Where should we go?"

Meng Hao shook his head, and the shadow of that person flashed in his mind.

"A large number of the Holy Court's forces have been destroyed, but the disadvantage of the vampires has not been alleviated. The vampires should next attack the remaining light pillars of the magic array of the Holy Court. We'll go look for the light pillars now. We should be able to find the mastermind behind this Victoria City Incident…"

Meng Hao pondered for a moment, then continued to raise his head and say, "The defensive ability of the holy cast knights is very strong. They won't be able to kill everyone. Let's hurry up and leave! Is the car okay?"

"Don't worry, it's a national product. It's very solid…"

…

[Hint: You have caused destructive damage to the team led by Judge Eleanor. You have caused destructive damage to some of the support teams of the Holy Court. You have received an additional 23,441 contribution points. You have received 3,200 Elders Council reputation points. Your friendship with the Holy Court has greatly deteriorated.]

[Hint: Current player contribution points: 43,767, current main mission evaluation: S.]

[Hint: Current evaluation reward-randomly bind A level skill book (3 options)].

Under the ruins, Fang Heng once again revealed himself.

After spending some effort to remove the shrapnel that covered his body, Fang Heng crawled out from the ruins.

Fang Heng glanced at the game hint and quickly looked around.

The explosion of the explosives was very powerful, and the collapse of the building also caused secondary damage. Unfortunately, the holy cast knights were too shell-like.

There was still a small number of lucky holy cast knights who did not die directly.

The holy cast knights who had rushed over from outside the building had already begun the rescue mission.

Some of the holy cast knights that were buried shallowly had already been dug out.

A small number of Lickers also emerged from the ruins and continued to fight with the holy cast knights.

Unfortunately, the side of the Holy Court that had died in the explosion did not drop the corresponding evolution crystals.

And…

Fang Heng scanned the surroundings.

He found it. It was over there, the holy water that the Holy Court had brought!

At this moment, the scene was too chaotic due to the explosion. No one paid attention to the holy water anymore.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Fang Heng came to the side of the pile of holy water.

[Hint: You have found the holy water.]

It was still too little.

The Holy Court had not brought much holy water this time, and they had wasted a lot of it previously.

[Hint: You have obtained the holy water x31.]

They were like souvenirs. He would accept all of them with gratitude.

Fang Heng waved his hand and put all of the holy water into his backpack.

Currently, a large number of the main forces of the Holy Court had been destroyed, and the completion rate of the main mission had risen to S-level as expected.

The plan had been executed perfectly.

Then, the next step was..

A hint of greed flashed through Fang Heng's eyes.

He would not rest until all 10 remaining pillars of light in the city were destroyed. Then, he would destroy the entire Holy Court in the city.

He only needed to go through with this step. He only needed to use the Book of the Dead's conversion ability to inject death energy into it and detonate all the remaining ones!

He still required more than ten Tier 1 crystals before leveling up to Level 20. He estimated that he would be able to complete it smoothly halfway.

After that, he would run straight to the headquarters and destroy the Holy Court. This way, he estimated that he would be able to level up the mission to SSS-level contribution points and get the highest reward.

After roughly considering the next plan, Fang Heng hid his body and carefully retreated.

Returning to the street behind the campus, Fang Heng skillfully opened a manhole cover in the alley.

He did not jump into the sewer immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked into the sky.

The bat-shaped Venerate landed in front of Fang Heng and knelt on one knee.

"Marquis, we just received news from the clan that Count Kitto was gathering a team of vampires in the territory not long ago."

Fang Heng could not help but frown and interrupted, "Kitto? Who is it?"

Seeing Fang Heng's puzzled gaze, Venerate looked around, lowered his voice and explained to Fang Heng, "Count Kitto is the count of our Alta clan. He has always been placed with high hopes. He is the right candidate to inherit the next Marquis."

"After he learned that the central building of the vampires had been destroyed, he immediately gathered all the vampires in the nearby area. He will come to Victoria City and…" Venerate stammered, "Support our Victoria City and kill the remaining forces of the Holy Court."

Fang Heng understood when he met Venerate's somewhat evasive gaze.

He knew how to choose the perfect timing. Now that he knew that the central building and the people of the Holy Court had been destroyed, he came to steal the credit.

Fang Heng pursed his lips.

"Also…"

Venerate's expression was a little awkward.

"What?"

Venerate said carefully, "Marquis, Count Kitto told me to tell you to immediately go to the Eastern region of Victoria City to meet him. Do not act rashly before he arrives and wait for his orders."

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched slightly.

In the world of vampires, the rank of a Marquis was higher than that of a count. However, considering the factions of the clans and the areas under their jurisdiction, he, who claimed to be a hermit, did not have much authority.

Although Kitto's arrogance was foolish, it was also reasonable.

In other words, Victoria City was a border city. Originally, the city did not have any high-tier vampires guarding it. Otherwise, Fang Heng would have needed to spend some effort to gain control of Victoria City.

Thinking about it, Fang Heng asked, "Count Kitto's original words should not be like this, right?"

Venerate lowered his head. "I'm very sorry, Marquis. Please believe that I'm on your side. But if Count Kitto comes to Victoria City, as a member of the clan, I'm afraid that I…"

Fang Heng understood.

The pressure from the vampires.

Venerate lowered his head again and said, "I'm sorry, Marquis."

Fang Heng waved his hand and said, "I understand. Continue to investigate before Kitto comes. Keep an eye on Kitto's movements and all the Holy Court teams in the city. Report to me if there are any unusual movements."

"Yes, Marquis!"

Fang Heng watched as Venerate continued to fly toward the sky above the city.

He did not care about seizing power. He only hoped that Kitto would not cause trouble for him.

Otherwise…

Fang Heng lifted the manhole cover on the ground and jumped down.

"Chi Chi Chi…"

At the same time, the group of Lickers who were fighting with the holy cast knights on the ruins of the vampires' building not far away also dispersed rapidly like the tide.

"Hey! Fang Heng! The explosion just now was so cool!"

Back in the sewer security room, Sandy praised Fang Heng excitedly. "The art and the aesthetics are worthy of a four-star evaluation! By the way, where are we going next?"

"To the next central node of the magic array. It's not far. It's in a car shop nearby."

Fang Heng checked the map and brought Sandy to the next central node through the sewer.

Sandy had nothing to do, so he asked curiously, "Boss Fang, tell me about your plan. Let me see if we can improve it."

Fang Heng was helpless by his incessant request, so he told him about the plans he was going to implement.

"No! Boss!!"

Hearing Fang Heng lay out the plan to detonate the sealing stone, Sandy was shocked and immediately shouted to stop him.

"Huh? Why not?"

"No, no, absolutely not!" Sandy said with a stern face, "The sealing stone is so rare, it would be a waste to blow it up just like that! Besides, they are the perfect raw materials for my artwork, how can you waste them like that? Absolutely not."

"Well…" Fang Heng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you sure it's valuable?"

"It's very valuable! Very valuable!"

Sandy nodded solemnly and took out the book that he had collected from the basement not long ago, "And I've just studied it. This sealing stone has other uses. I've studied it… if we slightly modify the position of the sealing stone and…"

Oh?

Fang Heng looked at the book in Sandy's hand and said, "You mean you can make corresponding adjustments to the seal formed by the sealing stones?"

"Ahem."

Sandy coughed with a guilty conscience.

The content recorded in the book was profound and difficult to understand. He had studied the sealing stone for a long time, but he had only gained a superficial understanding.

As for completely controlling the sealing stone and adjusting the magic array of the sealing stone, it was absolutely impossible.

"The knowledge of the sealing stone is extensive and profound. I can only say that I have a superficial understanding. It's still possible to make some minor adjustments to the original foundation. If it's a large number of modifications, there are still many things that I don't quite understand. I still need some research. Give me some time…"

Fang Heng glanced at Sandy and quickly thought about it.

In this case, he might need to make some minor adjustments to the plan in advance.

The sealing stone could not be moved when there was still energy inside it.

Then he would waste some more time and spend some time absorbing the sealing stone dry before taking it away.

In this case…

It was fine.

He could also increase the level of the sacred study.

…

At the headquarters of the Holy Court in Victoria City.

In the prayer hall, they kept receiving bad news.

After receiving the news that almost all the holy cast knights in the vampires' building had been wiped out, Chen Li leaned his back heavily against his chair.

His face was terrifyingly gloomy, and he was unable to speak for a long time.

The Holy Court had finally destroyed the vampires' building along with the teleportation array inside it.

But the price they had to pay was too great!

He lost a large number of the main combat forces, as well as the lives of a deputy commander of the holy cast knights and a chief judge.

It had taken him more than ten years to train such a group of warriors in Victoria City.

Chen Li's heart was bleeding.

If he had a choice, Chen Li would like to start all over again.

Chapter 707: Upgrade

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chen Li clenched his fists tightly.

Vampires! They must pay the price!

"Bishop, the structure point of the Magic Array No. 12 has lost its function. The efficiency of the main magic array has decreased. The energy of the structure point of the Magic Array No. 9 had also become unstable five minutes ago. The energy is rapidly weakening! At this speed, it will lose its function in another ten minutes at most…"

Another piece of bad news!

Chen Li said in a deep voice, "Send Shelley to Point 12 to repair the magic array."

"Bishop, we've lost contact with Shelley for more than half an hour."

"Then send Luo's team over to support!"

"Yes, Judge Luo's team is currently repairing the structure point at Magic Array No. 3. They'll rush over immediately after the repair."

"Lord Bishop, the branch structure point at Magic Array No. 6 has been attacked by the ghouls. Judge Jano has sent out a distress signal…"

…

"Lord Bishop, Jano's team is heading to Magic Array No. 6 to provide support and repel the ghouls."

"Bishop, three minutes ago, there was an anomaly in the branch structure point at Magic Array No. 10. The magic array is weakening rapidly! Lord Bishop, please…"

"Lin Yuanxin led three teams of holy cast knights to check Point 2. They encountered a group of ghouls and forced them to retreat. However, they suspect that the magic array structure point has been partially destroyed. Requesting for further instructions."

"Bishop, the remaining teams have all been wiped out."

"Bishop, the structure point at Point 6…"

More than half an hour had passed. One after another, urgent reports came in. Chen Li's head was about to explode when he heard them.

Ghouls! Ghouls!

Ghouls were everywhere!

Who could tell him where these ghouls had come from?

Ever since the vampires' building had been destroyed, Chen Li had thought that he could completely control the entire Victoria City.

But half an hour had passed, and Chen Li now felt that the entire Victoria City was filled with ghouls!

The entire Victoria City had been occupied by ghouls everywhere!

A sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.

The Holy Court clearly had the advantage, but why did it feel as if there were loopholes and threats everywhere?

Seeing that the Holy Court was gradually falling into a disadvantageous position, Zhou Cong, the executive director of the New Genesis Gaming Company who had joined the Holy Court, had a premonition that something was wrong.

The appearance of the undead had already caused the bishop to lose his composure.

Zhou Cong stepped forward and suggested, "Lord Bishop, based on the performance of the vampires, it is very likely that they are relying on the mobility of the ghouls and the detection ability of the vampires to carry out multiple harassing battles and disrupt our planned deployment."

"Yes."

Chen Li nodded.

He had also sensed it long ago. The other party had clearly occupied the branch structure points of the magic array, but they did not immediately destroy the magic array. Instead, they stayed for a while and retreated immediately after encountering a large number of reinforcements.

Then, the Holy Court had no choice but to choose a group of people to stay behind.

After the support team left, the people who stayed behind were wiped out by the ghouls who returned…

Chen Li did not know if the ghouls were at a disadvantage, but the Holy Court had always been at a disadvantage.

"At the moment, we need to protect too many magic array points. Moreover, in terms of mobility, we are completely unable to contend with the ghouls. It's easy for the other party to adjust the overall rhythm, and they will constantly deplete our current forces."

There was a sentence that Zhou Cong did not explicitly say.

Such a sinister way of fighting.

The player behind the vampires must be secretly controlling them.

"Hehe. You've discovered it."

Among the many people below the prayer hall, Chu Yan listened to Zhou Cong's analysis and laughed inwardly.

"The Boss' plan was just so unreasonable. So what if you've discovered it?"

With that thought, Chu Yan took a small step forward and joined the discussion.

He sighed and pretended to be troubled, he said, "Indeed, just like you said, we are very passive at the moment. We are almost led by the nose by the ghouls. Our forces are in a mess, and the frequent running has also made the warriors tired. We can't guarantee our combat strength. Do you have any good solutions?"

"Break away, I suggest that we shrink our defenses and then ambush them. We can think of a way to avoid detection from the sky and gather our forces in the dark. We can all gather at a point and wait for the ghouls to come to us. Then we can defeat them in one fell swoop."

Chu Yan's eyes lit up. "Set a trap? Lure them into a trap?"

"Yes, I analyzed the current magic array's core points. The core points at Points 2, 6 and 8 are relatively weak. I believe that they will be the undead's first target. I suggest that we choose one of them to ambush them."

As Zhou Cong spoke, he looked at Bishop Chen Li and said, "Lord Bishop, there is still a risk in doing so. Please make a decision, Bishop."

Chen Li quickly thought for a moment.

He had to make a decision. If he continued to hesitate, he would only lose more and more money.

"Okay, we will do as you say. Be careful to stay hidden. Let the priest team go to the core point of Magic Array No. 6 and ambush them in advance. We must catch all the ghouls in one fell swoop!"

Seeing that the matter was settled, Chu Yan moved his finger and sent a message to his companions in the player guilds through survival radio.

[Chu Yan: They are anxious. A large number of people are secretly moving toward Point 6. There is an ambush there. Alert the boss.]

…

Victoria City, the branch structure of the magic array in the steel factory's warehouse.

The last holy cast knight fell under the siege of the Lickers.

"Tch, despicable Holy Court. They even thought of an ambush. If it wasn't for the mole that we arranged beforehand, we would have fallen for it."

Fang Heng sighed as he stepped into the large storage room behind the warehouse.

During this period of time where he was competing with the Holy Court, he had continuously relied on the Licker's powerful mobility, as well as the vampires' aerial detection ability and the Holy Court's guerilla warfare.

In addition to Chu Yan secretly reporting the location, the Lickers had crazily restrained the Holy Court in the entire Victoria City, almost toying with it.

Later, after getting the news from Chu Yan that the Holy Court was secretly ambushing at the core node of Magic Array No. 6 Fang Heng was even happier.

Other than the core node of Magic Array No. 6 structure point, the rest of the points were crushed all the way!

[Hint: You have wiped out the node-guarding team led by the Holy Court's Judge Ling. You have received an additional 841 contribution points. You have received 150 reputation points from the Elders Council. Your friendship with the Holy Court has been reduced to the lowest.]

[Hint: Current player contribution points: 68,295. Current main mission evaluation: S.]

[Hint: Current evaluation reward-randomly bind A level skill book (1 out of 3 options).]

[Hint: You have received complete evolution crystals*12, Tier 1 evolution crystal*4, Tier 2 evolution crystal*8.]

Fang Heng glanced at the game hint and stretched out his hand.

The crystal fragments on the ground merged into his palm.

[Hint: Player has met the level-up requirement.]

Finally, he had waited too long for a day.

"Level up."

[Hint: Player has reached Level 20.]

[Hint: Through your talent skill, you have obtained an additional 59 zombie clones. Player has 351 zombie clones. ].

Chapter 708: Angry Vampires

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the ground around Fang Heng, magic arrays appeared one after another.

Zombie clones came out of the magic arrays one after another.

They staggered and stood behind Fang Heng.

Fang Heng waved his hand, and the zombie clones walked toward the sealing stone not far away from the warehouse and absorbed it.

[Hint: The next level up requires a Tier 2 semi-fusion evolution crystal*300.]

"Eh?"

Fang Heng was stunned.

Tier 2 semi-fusion evolution crystal?!

His requirements had changed? He finally needed a Tier 2 evolution crystal.

The Tier 2 evolution crystal had never been used before, and it had been stored directly in the imprint on the back of his hand.

"D*mn it, I finally have a use for so many Tier 2 evolution crystals!"

The next moment, a game hint appeared.

[Hint: Current player has met Level 21 upgrade condition.]

"Level up!"

[Hint: Current player's level has been upgraded to Level 21.]

[Hint: Through your talent skill, you have obtained an additional 71 zombie clones. Player currently has 422 zombie clones.]

Next to Fang Heng, the previously dark magic array lit up again.

More zombies crawled out of the magic array.

After leveling up two levels, 130 zombie clones appeared!

The zombie clones instantly filled more than half of the room.

Fang Heng looked at the zombie team behind him and was very satisfied.

Not bad, not bad. He had finally solved the problem of labor shortage. When he returned to the main base prison, he could carry out the next step of the Licker transformation for the zombies.

[Hint: Player's next level up requires Tier 1 semi-fusion evolution crystal*333, Tier 2 semi-fusion evolution crystal*999.]

Fang Heng quickly skimmed through the game hints.

It was a little troublesome.

To level up to Level 222, he had to continue to collect a large number of Tier 1 and Tier 2 evolution crystals.

In this game, it made sense that there were few high-level players.

Leveling up was really difficult!

Just as he was thinking, the game hint refreshed once again.

[Hint: Your basic sacred skill has been upgraded to Level 10. You can try to find other ways to increase the level of your sacred study skill.]

[Hint: You have successfully stopped the central node of the Holy Court's magic array. You have received an additional 2,310 contribution points. You have received 240 Elders Council reputation points.]

[Hint: The magic array of Victoria City's seal has weakened. Affected by the magic array of the seal, all additional attributes of your vampire bloodline have been reduced by 28%.]

Finally, the sacred study was finally full.

The absorption rate of around 2,000:1 was really painful.

It took a total of six seals for full absorption!

Fang Heng looked at the game hint.

After consecutively destroying Magic Array No.7's core node, the effect of Victoria City's main magic array on the vampires had also begun to decrease significantly.

In this way, the vampires' combat strength had mostly recovered.

It was time to consider letting the vampires join in the battle.

Overall, this wave was still a bloody profit.

Level up the sacred study, achieved!

Level up mission, another achievement!

It could even be achieved beyond the limit.

Fang Heng pondered in his heart. With a wave of his hand, he controlled the zombie clones to start digging a tunnel.

According to the usual pattern, the zombie clones would dig a tunnel to carry the sealing stone back to the sewer. Then, they would use explosives to destroy the entire building and completely eliminate the traces.

While he was thinking, Sandy knocked on the door outside the storage room of the warehouse. "Fang Heng!"

Sandy pushed the door open and entered. "Fang Heng, that little vampire is looking for you outside the warehouse."

"Come, let's go and take a look."

Fang Heng controlled the zombies to work while he followed Sandy outside the warehouse.

After opening the warehouse door, Venerate flapped his wings and slowly flew down.

He stopped in front of Fang Heng and half-knelt on the ground, looking a little embarrassed.

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

His expression didn't look good.

"Venerate, what happened?"

"Marquis, Count Kitto has arrived at the periphery of the city. He is very angry about the destruction of the vampires' building and is very dissatisfied with your unauthorized actions. He wants you to go and see him now and explain the situation to him face to face."

Fang Heng pursed his lips.

Count of the vampires… Kitto…

He was a little shameless…

It just so happened that a large number of evolution crystals were needed to upgrade to Level 2.

Fang Heng stroked his chin.

Should he just kill them together and get some evolution crystals?

The magic array in Victoria City was still in operation and the degree of weakening the vampires was at 28%. The highest level of the vampires' reinforcement was only a count. Relying on the Lickers, if it was properly designed, he could kill most of the vampires.

The problem was…

Now that he belonged to the vampires' camp, taking action might affect the current main mission.

If there was a problem with the division of the camp, it would be a huge loss if he was kicked out of the mission.

So…

After figuring out the key, Fang Heng quickly put on a gentle smile.

Therefore, he had to find another way to get rid of them.

Then, he had to get his hands on the evolution crystals!

In just a few seconds, an immature and bad idea was completed in Fang Heng's mind.

Raising his head, Fang Heng said to Venerate, "Tell Count Kitto that since I'm not welcome in Victoria City, I'll leave now. I'll wish him good luck."

Hearing this, Venerate hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "Marquis, please…"

Fang Heng was his savior, and he was the one who had saved the entire Victoria City!

Venerate knew Fang Heng's strength the best. If it weren't for Fang Heng, all the vampires in Victoria City would have been killed by the Holy Court long ago.

Fang Heng waved his hand, signaling Venerate to stop talking.

"Stop talking, tell him what I said."

Venerate frowned.

He vaguely felt something and nodded. "Yes."

"Also, do one last thing for me. Go to Zhao Nan and Liu Maoxue immediately and ask them to come here to find me."

"Yes! Marquis."

Seeing Venerate gradually fly away, Sandy, who had listened to the whole process, was anxious. He hurriedly took two steps forward, "Fang Heng, what's going on? Are we leaving already? We still have a lot of sealing stones to recover."

"Of course, we won't leave so easily. After all, those sealing stones can be sold for a lot of money, right?"

Fang Heng said with a disdainful chuckle.

A good plan was almost perfected in his mind.

If everything went well, the Holy Court and the vampires in Victoria City…

"Well…" Sandy looked at Fang Heng. "Fang Heng, I'm familiar with your eyes. Are you thinking of some kind of conspiracy? I'm a little worried about those vampires…"

"How can you say it's a conspiracy, Sandy? I just had a sudden inspiration. I think this may be the inspiration given to us by the god of art."

…

At the headquarters of the Holy Court in Victoria City.

After passing the message, Chu Yan met Bishop Chen Li in the study under the guidance of the attendant of the Holy Court.

Chen Li sat in front of the desk.

He was holding a book in his hand.

He wanted to calm himself down by reading the prayers of the Holy Court.

He had done this in the past.

But listening to the news that the structural points of the magic array in the outside world were falling, Chen Li could not control the anxiety and rising anger in his heart.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 709: Planning

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Why!

Why did the vampires not attack the central node of the Magic Array No. 6?

Chen Li chose to wait.

He continued to wait for the enemy to fall into the trap.

Chu Yan walked into the study and stood in front of Chen Li. He bowed slightly and greeted him, "Lord Bishop."

Chen Li put down the book in his hand and looked at Chu Yan who was standing at the door.

"You can tell me now. What bad news have you brought me?"

"Bishop, I have received intelligence from the Inhumans. Count Kitto of the Alta clan has gathered and brought a large number of vampires to Victoria City. Soon, they will gather with the vampires in Victoria City."

As Chu Yan spoke, he took a step forward and continued to report, "Lord Bishop, my intelligence confirms that after Count Kitto enters Victoria City, he will immediately lead the vampires to attack the central node of Magic Array No. 5 in Victoria City."

"Currently, the city is already facing the threat of the ghouls. With the addition of the vampires, the situation will be very disadvantageous to us. I suggest that we take action immediately and prepare in advance to set up the attack on the vampires."

"Yes, I already know about the vampires entering the city. I also have a headache." After hearing this, Chen Li waved his hand.

He continued to speak in a deep voice, "Currently, the magic array in the city has been heavily damaged, and the pressure on the vampires has been greatly reduced. Can you confirm that the vampires' target is the central structure point of Magic Array No. 5? Even if you can confirm it, what do you plan to rely on to intercept them?"

"Lord Bishop, I have already made all the arrangements. Please believe me."

Chen Li raised his head and looked at Chu Yan. "Tell me, what do you need?"

"Currently, there are still some vampires in the air conducting reconnaissance. Mobilizing a large number of people will definitely attract the attention of the vampires. Therefore, the large number of Holy Church priests and holy cast knights that are lying in ambush at Point 6 should not be moved easily."

"I suggest that we don't need too many people for this operation."

"I only need the leadership authority of three teams of the holy cast knights and the central structure point of the Magic Array No. 5."

As Chu Yan spoke, he raised his right hand and made a vow. "I swear on the honor of the holy cast knights that I will do my best to eliminate the vampires led by Kitto."

Chen Li stared at Chu Yan.

He was confident that he could exterminate all the vampires?

And he only needed three small teams and the authority to lead them?

After thinking for a moment, Chen Li raised his head and said, "I cannot agree to your request, Chu Yan. Your meritorious service in the Holy Court has not reached the level where you can lead a team to fight alone."

Chu Yan's heart sank.

"I cannot give you the authority to lead the team at the central point of Magic Array No. 5." Chen Li changed the topic, "However, I can ask the judge of the central point, Zhuang Cheng, to cooperate with you as much as possible. In addition, the leader of the knights, Murray, will lead three teams to follow you and listen to your commands."

"This is the greatest authority I can give you. Use them well and don't disappoint me."

[Hint: You used the honor of the Holy Court as a guarantee to convince the regional bishop of the Holy Church, Chen Li.]

[Hint: You have triggered a mission-exterminate the team of vampires. If the mission fails, you will receive additional punishment.]

Seeing the game hint that the mission had been triggered, Chu Yan frowned.

There was a big mistake.

He did not have the control rights of the central point of Magic Array No. 5.

D*mn it!

He had to immediately go to Fang Shuo to discuss countermeasures.

"Thank you for your trust, Bishop. This is enough." Chu Yan thought to himself and cupped his fists. "If possible, I would like to bring a batch of holy water over. This will be helpful to my plan."

"Holy water?"

Chen Li frowned. He waved his hand and said, "Sure. There's still a small portion of holy water left in the headquarters. Bring it all over. I'll wait for your good news."

"Thank you, Bishop."

After leaving the study, Chu Yan hurriedly called out to his subordinates. "Contact Liu Maoxue and tell the boss that we've encountered some trouble. I don't have the authority to access the central node of Magic Array No. 5. We…"

….

More than 20 minutes later, Chu Yan led three teams of holy cast knights and his subordinate players to defend a large private villa.

The large villa was one of the 12 magic array's central structural points in the city.

The captain of the team of holy cast knights, Murray, who was cooperating with Chu Yan this time, was extremely puzzled.

More than five minutes ago, when they had just arrived here, the villa had just been attacked.

According to the survivors, the ghouls and a masked man had attacked this place about 15 minutes ago. After killing Judge Zhuang Cheng, they left.

This was too strange!

Why did the undead suddenly come and leave?

Would the vampires continue to come?

Was the magic array's central node still safe?

And…

There were too many doubts in his heart. He couldn't help but look up at Chu Yan.

He felt that Captain Chu Yan did not seem to care about the safety of the magic array's core. Chu Yan even ordered everyone to withdraw from the basement and set up battle lines on the first and second floors to resist the incoming vampires.

"Captain Chu Yan, aren't we going to check the magic array's branch structure point downstairs? And the vampires, they really…"

"They are already here."

Chu Yan stood at the window.

He put down the binoculars and handed it to Murray.

Murray took the binoculars and saw the dark vampires approaching the villa. His heart sank.

After the death of Judge Zhuang Cheng, Chu Yan naturally took control of the villa.

Chu Yan said in a deep voice, "Let's prepare for battle on the spot. We don't need to worry about the magic array. The vampires will arrive soon. We don't have time to waste!"

"Yes!"

The current situation was urgent, so there was no time to think. Murray suppressed the doubts in his heart and chose to listen to the order.

Murray immediately led his holy cast knights and the holy cast knights that originally belonged to the core node of Magic Array No. 5 to lie in ambush inside the villa.

When the miscellaneous members left the room, a player from the guild walked to Chu Yan's side.

The dark crowd of vampires outside made people's hearts skip a beat.

The player couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Captain, can we do it? There are so many vampires. Can we really deal with them? Our guys are a little nervous. Can you tell me more about this mission?"

Chu Yan wasn't confident either.

However, things had already come to this.

He decided to trust Fang Heng and take a gamble.

"Don't worry. We can't lose. Our plan is perfect. If you don't trust Boss Fang, why don't you trust me? Tell our brothers that we don't need to be afraid. Everything is within the plan. Just work hard and prepare for the celebration feast."

Hearing this, the player relaxed a little and nodded. "Okay, I'll tell my brothers now."

…

In the outside world, a large group of vampires flew toward the villa.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!!"

The believers of the Holy Court immediately began to fire their handguns.

After entering the range of the magic array's central node's flight restriction, Count Kitto led a large group of vampires down from the sky.

Amidst the large group of vampires. Meng Hao and Ah Ding drove from the rear and blended in behind them.

Chapter 710: Benefits

The two of them looked at each other.

They had originally planned to look for the Big Brother of the vampires in Victoria City. Unexpectedly, they did not manage to find him, and instead, was almost discovered by the Holy Court on the way.

Then, they triggered the gathering mission by Count Kitto of the vampires.

Hence, they hurriedly ran to the villa area to gather.

About fifteen minutes ago, they saw a mysterious man wearing a mask leading a group of ghouls into the villa.

!!

After that, the ghouls scattered.

However, the mysterious man never left.

Subsequently, the Holy Court brought a group of reinforcements.

Just now, Count Kitto had finished assembling the group of vampires and began to attack the villa.

Meng Hao was a little confused.

Was the masked man who controlled the ghouls the Big Brother who controlled the vampires behind the scenes?

There was more than an 80% chance that it was the same person.

But he didn't leave and continued to stay in the villa?

Why?

Until now, Meng Hao still didn't understand.

But he was very clear that there was a problem.

Looking at the besieged villa in the distance, Ah Ding blinked and complained in a low voice, "Boss, do you think there's something wrong with that Kitto's brain? He clearly has a backer but instead of relying on it, he chases it away? What if he can't stand up for himself?"

"Mm."

Meng Hao also cursed this idiot Count Kitto of the vampires in his heart.

However, he could roughly understand Kitto's intentions.

It was nothing more than a matter of interest to fight for the position of Marquis of the vampires.

"You won't understand even if I tell you about the matters of the vampires. In short, this matter is very strange. Wait a moment, we must not enter that villa."

"Oh? Why? Aren't we here to get the rewards?"

"To get the rewards, one must be alive to get it." Meng Hao shook his head and analyzed, "Based on all the previous events, we can determine that the mysterious person who blew up the vampires' building is a player. Is that correct?"

Ah Ding nodded hurriedly. "Yes, yes, that's right."

"We're both players, and we've both accepted the mission of Victoria City. Don't tell me you're going to give up the rewards and retreat just because of a single word from the count?"

"Also, they've already spent a lot of effort to destroy so many magic array nodes in Victoria City. They're about to wipe out the Holy Court, and they're just going to leave like that?"

"Even ordinary people can't get there, let alone that person who's so greedy…"

"Based on my guess, that Big Brother probably set up a trap in the villa and wants to kill the Holy Court and the vampires together."

Meng Hao looked at the large villa in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly. "There's something wrong with this villa. It's obviously a trap. Whoever goes in is an idiot."

"Oh right! So that's how it is!"

Ah Ding clapped his hands and said in realization, "But Boss, shouldn't we go and remind Kitto?"

"That idiot Kitto? Forget it, I don't want to communicate with that idiot. I'm afraid that I won't be able to resist tearing him apart. Besides, I also want to see what that mysterious player is up to."

Meng Hao licked his lips as he spoke, his eyes filled with anticipation. "Actually, I want to work with him more. He seems to be particularly reliable."

Ah Ding nodded. "Oh…"

Meng Hao pointed in the direction of the villa. "Take a guess. What kind of trap did that Big Brother set in there?"

"Explosives!" Ah Ding didn't even hesitate before saying it out. He said directly, "Do we even need to guess? Just explode the place and it will be over. It's just like when he blew up the vampires' building, he can blow up the vampire Kitto, and all the people from the Holy Court."

"It's indeed possible to use explosives, but the same trick won't work the second time. Everyone will strengthen their defenses. The people of the Holy Court and the vampires will be careful. Moreover, if we use explosives in the terrain of the villa, the lethality is far less than that of the vampires' building, so I think there's a high probability that it won't be explosives."

"I see, that's a good point, I have learned it.."

While the two of them were talking, Kitto had already led a team of vampires into the villa area.

They were going to fight directly without any tactics.

In Kitto's opinion, if that unknown Marquis of the hidden clan could easily break through the defense of the central structure of the magic array of the Holy Court, naturally, he could do it too!

After all, the number of vampires under him was a hundred times that of Fang Shuo.

He could crush them directly without any tactics!

The Holy Court team entrenched in the villa also started to counterattack.

Chu Yan stood on the second floor and raised his sniper rifle to shoot at the vampires that were attacking from all directions.

He was extremely nervous!

The vampires that were charging from outside were affected by the magic array's core node and could not use long-range blood curses to attack. They could not transform into bat form either. In theory, the Holy Court had a geographical advantage.

However, the number of vampires was too many.

The close-range magic array node weakened the vampires by 42%, but this was not enough to establish a large enough advantage.

Once the vampires entered the building, they would be in an extremely passive position.

The periphery defense could not withstand such a large number of vampires.

"Commander, the door is about to collapse. There are too many vampires!"

Chu Yan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Hold on a little longer! Let the vampires in to block the branch entrance. We'll rely on the inner area of the villa to fight!"

"Yes!!"

Where was Fang Shuo?!

Chu Yan was extremely anxious.

He had already followed the plan and brought the people of the Holy Court over.

He had already placed all his bets on Fang Shuo, even his guild.

Could it be?!

Chu Yan had a bad premonition. Could it be that he had been cheated?

For a moment, cold sweat appeared on Chu Yan's forehead.

It couldn't be to that extent…

If the other party really wanted to cheat him, there was no need for that. He would have killed him long ago…

It was impossible…

"Hey, you seem to be in a panic."

Hearing the voice behind him, Chu Yan was pleasantly surprised.

He turned around and looked behind him.

"Phew, Boss Fang, you're finally here." Chu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and pretended to be relaxed. "If you had come a few minutes later, I would have jumped down from here and committed suicide."

"Heh, not really."

Fang Heng walked to the window and looked at the large number of vampires swarming into the villa with a calm expression.

Chu Yan said with a bitter face, "Brother, if you have any tricks, use them quickly. I really can't hold on any longer."

"Okay, let's make it clear first. The other spoils of war are all yours. I only want the evolution crystals."

"Take it. If you need anything, just take it."

At this critical moment of life and death, Chu Yan felt that even if the other party asked him to do some challenging math questions, he would agree without hesitation.

"Anything is fine, but can you do it faster?"

"It's not my fault. It's your fault for not having enough merit points. You spent a little more time finishing Zhuang Cheng and almost missed the plan."

Fang Heng shrugged. He found Chu Yan's anxious look quite interesting.

"Big Brother, I can't help it. You think it's easy to obtain merit points of the Holy Court?"

"Heh, that's right. Then I'll help you." Seeing that Chu Yan was so anxious that he was about to kneel down, Fang Heng put away his jokes, nodded and said, "I said that if you help me, you'll definitely get more benefits than you imagined."

Chapter 711: Overclocking

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

As he spoke, Fang Heng gently raised his hand and snapped his fingers towards the sky.

"Pa!"

With the snap of his fingers, Chu Yan was startled and turned to look at Fang Heng.

And then?

Gone?

Chu Yan blinked his eyes and was about to open his mouth to ask.

Just as he was about to ask, Chu Yan's eyelids twitched.

The ground started to shake slightly.

It was under his feet?!

The central node of the magic array?!

"Boom!!!"

With a loud boom, the central node of the magic array, which was originally located in the middle of the villa, suddenly exploded with power hundreds of times stronger than before!!

The golden pillar of light, which was about ten meters wide, instantly broke through the roof, soared into the sky, and pierced through the clouds!

With the pillar of light as the center, a solid-like golden holy ripple spread out in all directions!

The speed of the ripple was extremely fast and spread out almost a few hundred meters in an instant!

All the vampires that were swept by the holy ripple at a close distance felt as if they had been hit by a heavy blow. They spat out blood as they flew out and fell to the ground!

Fang Heng frowned.

His body was also affected by the golden holy ripple effect. His HP instantly dropped by a large chunk.

[Hint: Because of your vampire bloodline, you have received 655 points of holy ripple effect damage.]

[Hint: Affected by an unknown magic array, your skill-vampire bloodline has all attribute buffs become ineffective. All your holy-type skill effects have been increased by 120%.]

Similar game hints also swept across the nearby players' retinas.

Chu Yan looked at the game hint on his retina and looked at Fang Heng in shock.

The central node of the magic array?!

"Overclocking?"

He adjusted the power of the central node of the magic array?!

How did he do it?!

Even the people of the Holy Court didn't use such a method…

"You can think of it that way." Facing Chu Yan's shocked gaze, Fang Heng shrugged and coughed lightly, "Don't be in a daze. You also accepted the mission from the Holy Court. Shouldn't you work hard to earn the Holy Court's merit points and contribution points now?"

Fang Heng continued to remind him, "Let me remind you, the pillar of light can only last for five minutes at most."

After hearing Fang Heng's words, Chu Yan suddenly came to a realization.

That's right!!

Kill the vampires!

Earn merit points!

If he didn't earn them now, when would he do it?!

In the next second, Chu Yan was pleasantly surprised to find that his game log had begun to flood the screen crazily.

[Hint: The holy cast knights you led have killed high-tier vampires. You have received 15 merit points. You have received 12 contribution points.]

[Hint: The holy cast knights you led…]

Chu Yan was overwhelmed with ecstasy!

As the party leader this time, even if the Holy Court NPCs killed the vampires, he would still receive a large portion of the merit points and the mission contribution points reward!

In addition to the effect of the ripples spreading from the magic array's central node, a large number of vampires were heavily injured and had half of their HP left.

Meanwhile, the magic array's node in the overclocking state could weaken all attributes of the vampires in the vicinity by 100%, while the skill effect of the holy attribute would increase by 120%!

Wasn't it time to earn merit points and increase the completion rate of the mission??

The Holy Court immediately burst out with a strong fighting spirit and changed their offensive!

Chu Yan breathed heavily and forced himself to remain calm. He took out a long sword from his backpack and held it tightly in his hand. "Boss, I'll go over and participate in the command battle first."

"En, wait."

Fang Heng opened his mouth to stop Chu Yan and threw the light cast holy sword from the spoils of war that he had obtained from Commander Langdon to him.

"Take it, it's yours. I'm not used to using this thing."

Chu Yan took the sword that Fang Heng threw at him.

Chu Yan was stunned when he saw the attribute of the light cast holy sword.

It was such a good thing, and he gave it away without batting an eyelid?

Big Brother is Big Brother!

Great! A sword with the Holy Light attribute and the sharpness attribute!

Furthermore, it had an additional holy attribute skill effect.

With this long sword in hand, the damage output instantly increased by a large margin.

Its attribute was really too good!

It couldn't be more perfect!

Chu Yan was extremely satisfied with this sword!

He didn't stand on ceremony and immediately held the long sword in his hand and waved it in the air a few times.

"Thanks, Boss."

Chu Yan thought through it thoroughly.

To Big Brother, this was probably just a normal item that he casually gave away.

As a reward, he would naturally kill more monsters to help his boss earn more.

"Remember, I want evolution crystals. Also, the leader of the vampires, Count Kitto, must die."

"No problem, he will definitely die."

Chu Yan promised immediately.

Without Fang Heng's reminder, he would make sure that the leader of the vampires, Kitto, dies!

Whether it was the mission experience and contribution points gained from killing him or the merit points of the Holy Court, now, there was another reason for Kitto to die!

That was, his boss wanted him dead!

With the holy weapon in hand, Chu Yan felt stronger than ever. He wished he could fight 50 people at once.

Outside the villa, Meng Hao and Ah Ding, who had just been affected by the spreading of the holy ripple and had lost half of their HP, looked at the huge pillar of light in the distance and fell into silence.

The two of them were somewhat shocked.

Meng Hao was stunned for a long time before he finally understood. He muttered, "What a guy. He actually used the magic array of the Holy Court to overclock the frequency?"

Hearing what Meng Hao said, Ah Ding also just came back to his senses.

"Boss, are you saying that this magic array was also created by the mysterious person who controlled the vampires behind the scenes?"

Meng Hao said resolutely, "Absolutely!"

"But…" Ah Ding scratched his head, puzzled. "There's such a trick? Then why haven't the people of the Holy Court used it before? Are they stupid?"

Meng Hao also frowned.

That's right!

So many of the branches and nodes of the magic array of the Holy Court had been destroyed. Why hadn't the people of the Holy Court used this trick before?

Or was it because the people from the Holy Court didn't know how to use it?

That mysterious man had too many tricks up his sleeve…

How did he do it?

When Ah Ding saw that the vampires were being massacred, he asked carefully, "Boss, do you think we should go up and help?"

Meng Hao almost rolled his eyes when he heard this suicidal suggestion. He said snappily, "Help? Are you sure you're not sending yourself to die?"

The vampires inside the building were affected by the overclocking magic array and instantly lost their strength.

When they faced the holy cast knights, they instantly became a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

A one-sided massacre!

Count Kitto's expression changed drastically. Under the huge illumination of the pillar of light, his strength was less than one-tenth of what it was before!

Meanwhile, the holy cast knights charged forward with shining Holy Light armor.

"Let's go! Evacuate immediately!"

"You still want to run?!"

Seeing that the vampires were trying to evacuate, how could the players and the Holy Court let the vampires get what they wanted?

After being tortured for so long, the players could clearly see the words "contribution reward" written on the faces of the vampires!

The players' eyes were red as they charged forward to kill the vampires!

No one noticed that Fang Heng had sneaked into the basement of the villa while the outside world was in chaos.

Chapter 712: Solved

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the basement hall, a large number of zombie clones were gathered around a sealing stone in the center.

"How is it? Boss, I told you. After my modification, isn't the sealing stone now full of artistic beauty?"

Sandy looked at his masterpiece excitedly with a proud face.

"Unfortunately, I don't have enough time. If I had a few more months to perfect it…"

"Hmm…"

'Is it really beautiful?'?

Fang Heng looked at the sealing stone, feeling a little tired.

At that moment, a large number of zombies gathered around the sealing stone.

The sealing stone was arranged in two circles.

The zombie clones had one hand on the sealing stone in the inner circle, and the other hand on the sealing stone in the outer circle that had just been moved from the sewer.

In short, Fang Heng listened to Sandy's suggestion.

It was probably to use the zombie clone's body as a temporary storage passage to absorb the energy from the original sealing stone and send it into the empty sealing stone that had just been moved.

After all, Sandy didn't need to make any modifications. He just added more sealing stones.

Then, he instantly activated all the stone pillars around the original stone pillars.

By analogy, he directly increased the power to increase the power of magic array nodes, and release a power dozens of times higher than before!

The speed of energy consumption had also become hundreds of times faster than before.

The most basic use of the sealing stones was a huge waste of energy.

If the people of the Holy Court were here, they would definitely be so angry that they would explode.

It would take months just to collect the energy, but it was actually wasted just like that. It had only bloomed for five minutes before it was completely used up.

However, to Fang Heng, the effect he wanted to achieve had been perfectly displayed.

"Not bad, I'll give you credit."

Sandy chuckled. "Then, Fang Heng, what do you say about the matter of remodeling the temple?"

"Yeah, it's a deal."

Sandy waved his fist excitedly and said, "Ha! Fang Heng! You're good! The god of art didn't misjudge you!"

"That's true. But now, we should prepare to leave."

Fang Heng walked to the side and controlled the zombie clones to move the holy water that Chu Yan had brought into the sewer.

This time, they did not incur a loss.

After getting rid of the troublesome vampires, he helped Chu Yan obtain a mission, took away the sealing stone, and also obtained holy water.

…

As a large number of vampires were killed by the Holy Court, the remaining vampires scattered and fled. A mission hint popped up in Chu Yan's vision.

[Hint: You have defeated the vampire team led by Count Kitto of vampires. You have obtained 12,289 merit points from the Holy Court, 23,144 contribution points from the main mission and your reputation in the Holy Court has increased by 5,521 points.]

[Hint: Your merit points have reached the requirements of the next tier. Please look for any bishop to upgrade…]

[Hint: You have killed Kitto. Your animosity with the vampires has reached its peak…]

[Hint: Your current mission rating: A.]

[Hint: …]

After flipping through the game log two or three times, Chu Yan felt as comfortable as if he had drunk a coke with ice on a hot day.

His entire body was exuding a sense of satisfaction!

This wave of farming was too exhilarating!

Nearly three-quarters of the vampires had been wiped out!

The Holy Court's contribution points increased rapidly, directly rising to A!

More importantly, he had obtained a significant amount of merit points!!

He had joined the Holy Court for so many years and had worked hard for so long. All this time, he had only accumulated over 3,000 merit points.

He did not expect that after including the bonus merit points obtained from completing the missions, he had earned a total of 30,000 merit points!

Chu Yan was so excited that he was trembling over. He felt as if he had become rich overnight.

At this moment, he was very glad that he had made the decision to cooperate with Fang Shuo.

He was even more determined to continue clinging to Fang Shuo.

"Captain Chu Yan, we have cleared up the casualties and completed the treatment of the wounded."

"Okay."

Chu Yan took a deep breath and calmed down. He began to think about what to do next.

The remaining vampires had already scattered and fled in all directions. There was no longer a need to continue pursuing them.

"Yes, bring our people. We'll immediately return to the Holy Court to report to them."

"Yes!"

The captain of the holy cast knights team cupped his fists and agreed. He then asked, "Captain Chu Yan, don't we need to send some people to stay here and guard the magic array's central node?"

"No need. We just received news that the Holy Court headquarters is in trouble. They need us to rush back immediately to support them," Chu Yan said and waved his hand, "Let's go. We'll go back and report back immediately! We don't need to bring the holy water back either. We'll leave it here for now."

The matter had developed to this point. Although Murray was a little suspicious of Chu Yan and felt that this operation was very strange, they had defeated a large number of vampires after all.

Murray did not say anything more. He immediately nodded and said, "Understood! Captain Chu Yan!"

As the people from the Holy Court quickly retreated, the pillar of light that rose in the hall gradually dimmed until the entire pillar of light disappeared.

It seemed that the magic array had completely lost its effectiveness.

Chu Yan did not leave with the people from the Holy Court. Instead, he deliberately stayed where he was.

A moment later, familiar footsteps sounded behind him.

"Thank you for your hard work. Are you satisfied with your harvest?"

"I'm so satisfied!"

Chu Yan turned around with a bright smile on his face. "Boss Fang, thank you so much."

Then, Chu Yan made a transaction application to Fang Heng.

[Hint: Player has made an anonymous transaction with you.]

[Hint: You have accepted an anonymous transaction. You have obtained evolution crystal fragments*2,219, complete evolution crystal*340, Tier 1 evolution crystal*175, Tier 2 evolution crystal*75.]

Ha! Sensible!

Under the mask, Fang Heng smiled and nodded at Chu Yan.

He had earned this much by killing vampires. He could earn so many evolution crystals in one go!

It was much faster and more convenient than killing people from the Holy Court.

"I've said before, as long as the people I've worked with are trustworthy, they won't suffer any losses."

Fang Heng's tone was gentle.

It seemed that Chu Yan was still more reliable.

In that case, it was time to carry out the next step of the optimization strategy.

"So, Chu Yan, are your merit points now high enough?"

Hearing this, Chu Yan's mood became even better, and his tone could not help but become a little excited, "Yes, with your help, my merit points are sufficient for me to be promoted to the rank of Tier 1 deputy commander of the light cast knights. If things go smoothly, I'll be able to advance once I return to the headquarters of Victoria City and report back."

"When that time comes, I'll have the authority to temporarily mobilize a portion of the members of the holy cast knights ."

"Mm." Fang Heng nodded, he asked, "I don't know much about the Holy Court. I have a question. Based on our current situation in Victoria City, if the bishop of the Holy Court, Chen Li, was unfortunately killed in the battle, who would have the authority to command the Holy Court?"

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 713: Inherit

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"In theory, the deputy bishop should be the temporary bishop, but the deputy bishop of our region is vacant, so it will continue to be so. We should be choosing from one of the presiding judges, so it will either be Judge Eleanor or Judge Luo who will get the command authority."

"I see."

The crisis management of the Holy Court was similar to the structures of other gaming organizations.

Fang Heng had some understanding of it before.

Now that he had confirmed this from Chu Yan, Fang Heng touched his chin and continued to ask, "What can be confirmed is that Judge Eleanor is dead now. What should we do if Judge Luo is also dead?"

"If that's so, then the commander of the Knights of Faith will take up the position. After all, the commander of the knights is lower than the presiding judge in terms of administrative level. From the practical considerations of Victoria City…"

As he said this, Chu Yan's face turned cold.

His heart, which had just calmed down, was beating wildly again due to excitement, and a surprised look appeared on his face.

He had realized what Fang Heng meant.

"Boss Fang, you mean…"

"Ha, you guessed it right." Fang Heng patted Chu Yan's shoulder and said, "Give me a list of all the people in the Holy Court in Victoria City who have higher achievement levels than you. Also, do you have any way to lure Bishop Chen Li out? And the higher-ups of the Holy Court around him."

Chu Yan was so excited that he could not control himself.

He had never thought that Fang Heng would actually have this idea!

If everything went smoothly, he would really be able to control the entire Holy Court in Victoria City…

Even if it was only temporary… then the benefits he would gain would be unprecedentedly huge!

Thinking about it carefully, the feasibility of this plan was extremely high!

Right now, the entire Holy Court in Victoria City had already been destroyed. The biggest obstacle in front of him was only the regional bishop, Chen Li.

Once the regional bishop was killed…

Considering the strength that Fang Shuo had shown all this time, Chen Li was just a regional bishop and his strength paled in comparison.

The success rate of this plan was definitely high!

Chu Yan couldn't hide his excitement. He took a deep breath and nodded. "Biss Fang, don't worry. I'll think of a way to lure out Chen Li and the higher-ups of the Holy Court in Victoria City."

"Okay, good. We must act quickly."

Fang Heng nodded.

He didn't care about the regional bishop, Chen Li.

Without the support of the magic array in Victoria City, the regional bishop only had the combat strength of a normal Marquis of the vampires.

He had killed so many Marquis of the vampires.

As long as he could lure Chen Li out of the headquarters of the Saint Court, killing him wouldn't be a problem!

However…

Fang Heng preferred playing dirty.

…

After sending a batch of holy water outside of the game, Fang Heng went online again.

Sandy brought the zombie clones to transport the sealing stone back to the sewer, while Fang Heng blew up the villa and destroyed all traces of it. Then, he transformed into a bat and flew to the rendezvous point with Liu Maoxue.

Halfway, Fang Heng hovered on the roof of a building and reverted to his human form.

Another bat, which followed Fang Heng halfway, also stopped and hovered in front of Fang Heng.

"Marquis."

Venerate reverted to his human form and kneeled on one knee, "Count Kitto encountered an enemy's trap while leading the vampires to attack the central node of the magic array of the Holy Court. The vampires suffered heavy casualties, and Count Kitto died in battle."

"I have already gathered the remaining strength of the vampires in the city. Please lead us to resist the Holy Court again."

As soon as Kitto arrived, he was immediately annihilated, and more than half of the vampires in the city were wiped out.

To let a self-centered and arrogant person come and order them around and ruin the good situation in the city, Venerate was extremely dissatisfied with the clan.

"You want me to go back? You wish." Fang Heng rubbed his neck and smiled, "So when the clan sends another count, I will still be chased out?"

"Please don't say that. The clan will remember your kindness."

"Is that so?" Fang Heng sneered, "Are you not going to pursue the matter of me destroying the vampires' building?"

Venerate wanted to say more, but Fang Heng raised his hand to stop Venerate from continuing, "Alright, I will not argue with you. Continue to investigate. If there is anything, report to me immediately."

"Yes, Marquis."

Venerate heaved a huge sigh of relief after being able to convince the Marquis to return and continue hosting.

"Please take revenge for your dead kin."

"I will. Go."

Fang Heng once again transformed into his bat form and flew towards the next point where the Holy Light pillar of light shone.

At the same time, Ah Ding and Meng Hao, who were in the middle of a mission, received a game hint.

[Hint: Your team has been temporarily taken over by an unknown vampire. You can choose to leave the team.]

[Hint: You have triggered the current side mission-scout Victoria City.]

The two of them looked at each other.

Unknown vampire?

Could it be the person controlling the vampires from behind?

…

"Well done, Chu Yan! Your performance was worthy of your oath, and you didn't disappoint me!"

After receiving the news that Chu Yan had successfully defeated the vampires, Chen Li's gloomy face finally eased up.

Since last night, he had been receiving bad news frequently. This was the only good news he had received!

The morale of the entire Holy Court, which had been depressed for a long time, finally recovered.

Chen Li looked at Chu Yan with approval, "You have joined our Holy Court for three years, and you have already proven your ability and loyalty. Now that the situation is urgent, I have made an exception to promote you to the rank of second deputy commander of the holy cast knights. Are you willing to accept this honor and responsibility?"

"I am willing! Thank you for your trust, Bishop Chen Li!"

[Hint: You have received Bishop Chen Li's approval. You have been promoted by an exception and successfully promoted to second deputy commander of the light cast knights (for more details, please click here).]

Chu Yan was even more surprised when he received the game hint of merit promotion.

He had actually leveled up by one more level and reached second deputy commander.

However…

It was not enough!

As long as he clinged tightly to Fang Shuo and acted according to his plan, the entire Holy Court of Victoria City would fall into his control!!

Chu Yan steadied his mind, cupped his fists at Chen Li, and began to carry out the plan.

"Lord Bishop, currently, there are still a large number of vampires in Victoria City and because the magic array's effectiveness is decreasing, we are still in danger."

"Yes."

Chen Li nodded. He was still troubled about this situation and was thinking of how to reverse the situation around.

Suddenly, a disciple of the Holy Court knocked on the door and rushed into the room to report.

"Lord Bishop, the central node of the Magic Array No. 1 is being attacked by ghouls. It has sent out a message for help."

"In addition, not long ago, the central node of the Magic Array No. 5 exploded. The structure point has completely lost its effectiveness."

It was happening again! It was the ghouls again!

It was so rare to get good news, and now bad news came one after another.

The central node of the Magic Array No. 5 had just repelled a wave of vampires, and then it was completely destroyed by the undead…

They worked for a long time, but it did not work at all!

Chen Li could not hold it in any longer and knock on the table heavily. "Why did the ghouls appear again!"

"This…"

The believers of the Holy Court could not answer this question at all and could only lower their heads, ready to be reprimanded.

Chu Yan said, "Lord Bishop, when we fought with the vampires previously, we did not find any traces of the ghouls."

Chen Li held back his anger and waved his hand to signal for the believers to leave.

What should they do?

What should they do now?

The vampires were severely injured, and so was the Holy Court. There weren't many means to support them now, and there were only a few teams. What else could they do besides passively defending?

What was even more hateful was the trap they set at branch node No. 6.

Until now, the ghouls hadn't stepped into the trap!

Seeing the hall fall into silence, Chu Yan said in a low voice, "Bishop, I suggest that we consider ending the plan ahead of time."

Chen Li suddenly turned his head, looked at Chu Yan, and said coldly, "What did you say?"

Chu Yan had already made up his mind, he said, "Bishop, the enemy is very strong. More and more vampires will come to act as reinforcement. In addition, the central nodes of the magic array have been destroyed one by one. We don't have enough power to suppress the vampires anymore."

"If we continue, we won't have the advantage. I think we can choose to give up on the central nodes of the other magic array branches and gather the existing personnel. We can think of ways to obscure and preserve our strength."

"In addition, we have already eliminated a large number of vampires and a count of the vampires. Our operation is not considered a complete failure."

"Oh right, we've also obtained important information about the vampires and the undead. This is of great strategic importance to the Holy Court."

Chen Li stared at Chu Yan.

Indeed.

With these gains, he could also report to the headquarters of the Holy Church.

He had really done his best.

But…

He was not willing to accept this!

Chen Li was not able to reconcile with this result.

After spending ten years of planning and so much effort, he had only killed one count of vampires. Moreover, the vampires in the entire Victoria City had not been completely cleaned up yet.

The result now was far too different from what he had expected!

"Lord Bishop, no matter what your choice is, we need to make a decision as soon as possible."

"It's not the end yet. Don't say such words in the future. I will get Luo to bring some people to support branch node No. 1. We will shrink the defensive line… let Emma come in for a moment."

"Yes, Lord Bishop!"

Chu Yan clenched his fist as he spoke.

Chen Li saw that Chu Yan was still standing where he was and asked with a frown, "Chu Yan, is there anything else? If you still want to persuade me to give up, there's no need to say it."

"Lord Bishop, if you insist on continuing, I have another method that can completely reverse the situation."

"Oh?!"

Chen Li's eyes lit up. He leaned forward slightly and asked, "What is it?"

"I have just learned of the undead's next move through the Inhumans under my command. They have already joined forces with the vampires. We think that we can set up a trap in advance and eliminate all the undead and vampires in one fell swoop, but the prerequisite is that we need you to personally participate."

"Me?"

"Yes."

Chu Yan explained in detail, "The undead have already learned that the central node of the Magic Array No. 6 has been ambushed, and they are closely observing it at all times… we know that their next target is the final structure point of the Magic Array No. 4… If you are willing to trust me…"

After listening to Chu Yan's general arrangements, Chen Li closed his eyes.

Chen Li frowned, "But the main magic array needs to be controlled. Once I leave, the effectiveness of the magic array will be greatly reduced."

"Lord Bishop, forgive me for being blunt, but we have nowhere to retreat. This is already our best chance. Moreover, the magic array has no effect on the ghouls, and only you have the ability to seal a large number of ghouls. If we can successfully defeat the vampires in one fell swoop, all the disadvantages to us will be completely reversed!"

Chen Li was a little shaken. "What's the success rate of your plan?"

"If it's just me alone, it's less than 10%. But with your help, the success rate will definitely be 100%."

Chu Yan said in a deep voice, "I swear in the name of the Holy Light that my plan will definitely succeed and we can kill all the ghouls."

Chen Li thought for a while and nodded. "Alright, I'll go with you to meet those ghouls."

"I won't let you down, Lord Bishop."

Hearing Chen Li agree, Chu Yan felt completely at ease.

He could already feel that he was one step nearer to getting the position of the regional bishop.

…

At the large warehouse area by the sea and at the periphery of the pillar of light that soared into the sky, a large number of bats circled around the surrounding area.

Meng Hao and Ah Ding were waiting in ambush in a high-rise building at the edge of the building.

They had received the game mission half an hour ago, and had waited for more than thirty minutes without any movement!

Ah Ding couldn't help but put down the binoculars in his hand. "Big Brother, we've been waiting here for a long time. Why is there no movement yet? Could it be a cover?"

"Don't worry, it'll come."

Meng Hao was very confident.

From the point of view of the mastermind behind the scenes, what would the other party do next?

The Holy Court and the vampires had fought to such an extent that both sides had already suffered heavy losses.

If it were him, Meng Hao would have gathered all of the vampires' forces and attacked a single location. He would have relied on his hard power to gradually erode the other party, destroy the other party's magic array, and take one step at a time to choose the most stable method of fighting.

As they were thinking, both of them received a hint from the game.

[Hint: Player has triggered a mission-attack the target node.]

Mission requirements: Attack the central node of the magic array in the area.

It's here!

Upon receiving the mission hint, Ah Ding was instantly surprised. "Boss! It's really happening!"

"Don't rush over. Let's wait a little longer. When the main group arrives, we'll go in together with them. Remember, think of a way to find that Big Brother. Connecting with him is our main mission target this time. Do you understand?"

Ah Ding replied excitedly, "Yes, I understand."

Through the binoculars, Meng Hao stared at the building in the distance.

Within a short period of time, all of the vampires in Victoria City had gathered under Fang Heng's guidance. They once again circled high up in the sky around the pillar of light.

Following that, the vampires received orders to land from the sky and attack the warehouse from all directions!

The believers of the Holy Church in the warehouse raised their guns and fought back.

The flames of war broke out instantly.

In the basement of the warehouse, Chen Li was leading two high-tier judges and two teams of high-tier priests to guard around the second floor of the sealing stone.

At this moment, Chen Li heard the commotion outside.

Just like Chu Yan said, the remaining vampires in Victoria City attacked the central point of the magic array in the warehouse by the sea.

However, the ghouls that they really wanted to lure had yet to appear.

"Bishop!" A believer barged into the basement and reported loudly, "We found a large number of Lickers barging into the warehouse from the east window area. Our people can't stop them."

Chapter 715: Appeared

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chen Li's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.

They were finally here!

Just as Chu Yan had expected, the ghouls sneaked into the warehouse through a secret underground passage and directly invaded the warehouse from the inside!

Chu Yan immediately turned his head and looked at Chen Li, "Lord Bishop, the person controlling the ghouls from behind will definitely come as well. As long as we can get rid of him, we will be able to completely solve the problem of the undead and defeat the vampires in one fell swoop. As for the warehouse and the magic array's central node, please leave it to us. We will definitely protect the warehouse to death!"

"Alright."

Chen Li waved his hand and immediately led all the NPCs in the basement towards the right side of the underground warehouse.

After everyone left, Chu Yan nodded toward the remaining players in the room.

"Let's go!"

The players immediately retreated towards the exit.

…

The underground warehouse was on the right side of the abandoned building.

The regional bishop, Chen Li, rushed over with the Holy Court's team.

He focused his attention and saw a large number of ghouls running out through the sewer passage.

The two teams of holy cast knights led by their team leaders were doing their best to resist.

"ghouls!"

"We finally meet you!

Chen Li was raging with anger. He opened the Book of Creation in his hand and raised his hand to open it.

A golden light flashed.

Golden chains immediately appeared on the bodies of a few Lickers who were about to pounce on them. They immediately fell from the air.

They were firmly trapped on the spot.

"Chi Chi Chi!!!"

The Lickers struggled and continuously roared.

Most of the teams that Chen Li brought were high-tier priests of the Holy Court, and there were also two high-tier judges!

Almost at the same time, the team of priests released purification on the group of Lickers, speeding up the completion of the expulsion and purification!

The number of ghouls was originally not many, and in almost a moment, the Holy Court's side had taken control of the situation.

After cleaning up a few ghouls in succession, Chen Li frowned slightly and swept his gaze across the entire backup warehouse.

That was strange.

The ghouls no longer appeared from the sewer.

However, the mysterious person Chu Yan had mentioned who was controlling the undead behind the scenes still did not appear.

Was there a mistake in the plan?

It was not completely a mistake. At the very least, they had dispelled and purified a large number of ghouls this time.

But for some reason, Chen Li had a vague premonition that something bad was about to happen.

Why didn't that person appear?

A diversion?

"Emma, you stay here. The rest of you, follow me back!"

Seeing that the team had taken control of the situation, Chen Li left behind a high-tier judge and the holy cast knights to continue purifying the remaining ghouls. He brought the remaining Holy Court team members and immediately returned to the underground hall of the warehouse to check.

Just as he entered the door, Chen Li's pupils suddenly constricted.

A young man wearing a mask was stepping towards the sealing stone step by step.

He was really luring the tiger away from the mountain!

Chen Li shouted, "Stop!"

Fang Heng, who was walking towards the sealing stone, stopped and turned his head to look behind him.

He could not help but frown.

"Oh? What a coincidence! You came at a bad time."

The regional bishop, Chen Li, used his scrutinizing gaze to observe the masked young man in front of him.

He could sense the aura of vampires and undead from Fang Heng's body at the same time.

What was even stranger was that there was actually a hint of the Holy Light's aura.

"You are the Marquis of the vampires, Fang Shuo, right? To be able to barge into this place alone, I admire your courage. Even now, you are still unwilling to take off your mask?"

Chen Li stared at Fang Heng warily, extremely confused.

How on earth did he get past the layers of guards of the Holy Court to arrive at the central area?

Also, where were the guards that were supposed to be here? Where was Chu Yan?

Where did they all go?!

It had only been less than five minutes since they left just now. The guards who remained here would not be completely wiped out without even making a sound.

Chen Li was very glad that he had seen through the enemy's plan of luring the tiger away from the mountain and returned one step ahead of time.

Everything could still be salvaged!

"Heh."

Fang Heng chuckled and turned his head to continue walking toward the sealing stone in the center. "Why? Are you surprised to see me here?"

Half an hour ago, Fang Heng had already been treated as a prisoner of the vampires by Chu Yan and brought openly into the abandoned warehouse.

Then, he prepared an empty room in advance and called all the people of the Holy Court to leave the room. After setting a time with Chu Yan, Fang Heng went offline.

After that, the bishop of the Holy Court, Chen Li, rushed over with his people and thoroughly checked the entire warehouse to ensure its safety.

In short, Fang Heng admitted that there was still a little time error in his plan.

He had not calculated the time properly. He had just logged in half a minute ago.

That was why he had coincidentally bumped into Chen Li who had rushed over.

However, it was not a big problem.

The holy cast knights and high-tier priests at the back carefully spread out in all directions, trying to surround Fang Heng.

Chen Li said in a deep voice, "Indeed, I am very curious. How did you get here? Why did no one notice? If you are willing to give me an explanation, I would be extremely grateful."

"What do you mean by grateful? You people of the Holy Light are all hypocrites."

Fang Heng stood in front of the sealing stone as he spoke, facing Chen Li.

"Stop, don't go any closer. Accept your repentance, undead."

Chen Li's expression was extremely grave. He took out the Book of Creation with his right hand and stared at Fang Heng. "You have been completely surrounded. You will definitely not be able to escape. Even if you can destroy the sealing stone, you will still not be able to leave this place."

"Hehe, is that so? I don't believe it."

Fang Heng took out the Book of the Dead with his left hand and gently pressed his right hand on the sealing stone.

Seeing the Book of the Dead in Fang Heng's hand and seeing Fang Heng's actions, Chen Li instantly realized what Fang Heng wanted to do.

A terrifying thought arose in Chen Li's mind.

He was controlling the sealing stone!

How did he know how to control the sealing stone that had been passed down since ancient times?!

"You actually!!"

Realizing what Fang Heng was doing, Chen Li's pupils constricted!

He was suddenly startled, and a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"Quick! Stop him!!!!"

Chen Li shouted.

"I'm sorry, it's too late."

As Fang Heng spoke, he sucked out the deathly aura from the Book of the Dead and fiercely poured it into the sealing stone.

Almost at the same time, all the holy cast knights rushed towards Fang Heng.

The high-tier priests all pointed their hands at Fang Heng!

More than a dozen spears condensed from the Holy Light stabbed toward Fang Heng!

Fang Heng stuffed all the aura of the undead into the sealing stone and turned to look at Chen Li.

"Goodbye."

In the next moment, a red magic array appeared under Fang Heng's feet.

"Chi Chi Chi!!"

The magic array spun rapidly, condensing into a blood pool.

The blood pool under Fang Heng's feet suddenly exploded, completely enveloping Fang Heng in the rising blood screen.

"Ka!"

The Holy Light spears stabbed into the blood screen.

"Boom!!!"

The blood screen and the Holy Light spears suddenly exploded at the same time!

Where was he?

Looking toward the center of the blood screen again, Fang Heng had already disappeared completely.
