958 Arrogant

"Fang Heng! I've finally found you!" Sandy's face was filled with exaggerated excitement, "Hey! Let me tell you some great news! Under the enlightenment of the god of art, the construction of the Temple of Zeus is about to be completed! In three days, we will be able to witness this miracle with our own eyes!"

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment.

Finally…

According to Mo Jiawei, building the Temple of Zeus cost the prison a huge amount of high-tier resources.

Fortunately, Fang Heng had plundered many materials from various game worlds some time ago. Otherwise, it would not be enough for Sandy to squander.

They were finally seeing the light of hope!

Fang Heng felt gratified.

However, seeing how Sandy was in such a hurry to find him, could there be some kind of change?

Fang Heng felt that something was not right and became vigilant. He said calmly, "Oh? Then congratulations."

"Hahaha! You'll definitely be shocked at the opening ceremony."

"There's an opening ceremony?"

"That's for sure," Sandy chuckled and revealed a proud expression, "Our names will be carved on the stone statues outside the Temple of Zeus. The later generations will know that we built the Temple of Zeus. This is a great achievement for us!"

"Oh, well done," Fang Heng quickened his pace and walked forward.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave. I've encountered a small problem during the construction of the temple," Sandy caught up with Fang Heng quickly and gestured with his fingers as he spoke.

Fang Heng thought in his heart, "As expected, trouble is here again."

"Fang Heng, we are still lacking something for the exhibition. You didn't even bring back the high-tier display items that you got from the Holy Court last time. Our temple is about to open, so how can we not have any exhibition items?"

Fang Heng opened his mouth, but for a moment, he really didn't know what to say.

During the last raid in District 9, he threw many of the stolen goods in the fallen corridor in the real world.

At that time, he was just finding a place to temporarily store them.

Who would have thought that the fallen corridor would be destroyed?

In this situation, he really didn't have the time to run to the fallen corridor to get the exhibition items.

Fang Heng had a headache, "Sandy, it's a little troublesome to get those things back now. We have to wait for a while."

"Alright, what about the other worlds? Not only District 9 has display items, right? The other regions also have them, right? Aren't you preparing to go there now? Bring me along."

"Hmm? How did you know that? Who did you hear that from?"

"Really?" Sandy was startled for a moment, then laughed out loud, "Hahaha, the inspiration of the god of art is indeed correct. Take me along!"

Fang Heng thought for a while and said, "All right, let's go there together. Now."

"No problem!"

After the completion of the Temple of Zeus, his world's rating would have a small increase.

If he brought back more of the Holy Court's collection, his rating would increase more, and he could also learn a few more Holy Court skills while he was at it.

Sandy was helping him to work, after all. Moreover, if he did not agree, the other party would probably cause a ruckus for a while longer and he would not have the time to argue with him now.

"But the trip to the world of the vampires is very dangerous this time," Fang Heng warned, 'You can't run around."

"No problem! In the name of the god of art!"

Vampire's Apocalypse District 8.

After meeting up with Mo Jiawei and entering District 8, Fang Heng and the other two immediately went to District 8's Elders Council's headquarters through the nearest vampires' teleportation point.

"Your Majesty, I am the arbitration elder of the Elders Council, Clement," Clement, the arbitration elder of District 8's vampires Elders Council, sized up Fang Heng and praised the youthfulness of the Vampire King in his heart.

While Fang Heng was repairing the teleportation passage and connecting it to the Zombie World, Clement introduced the current predicament that District 8 was facing.

Only then did Fang Heng learn that District 8 was truly miserable.

The vampire Prince who joined the invasion of the real world was killed on the spot by Mo Jiawei's two uncles. There was also no news of the two Dukes. The remaining few vampire Marquises who returned were either dead or disabled. They barely managed to guard District 8.

The strength of the vampires here had almost hit rock bottom.

Then, the Holy Court and the demon hunters started to stir up trouble everywhere.

The vampires suffered a string of defeats.

Clement's heart was filled with pain as he said, "Your Majesty, the Holy Court is taking advantage of our weakness to attack our city. Our people are suffering."

"Don't worry, we're here to help," Mo Jiawei also felt that District 8 was too miserable. He walked over and patted Clement on the shoulder as if he was familiar with the latter and consoled him, "We will let the Holy Court's lackeys know the power of the vampires."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Clement said gratefully.

Fang Heng glanced at Mo Jiawei and thought to himself, "Did you forget your position as a demon hunter?"

Never mind that, but didn't District 8 get to where they are now because his family killed their Prince?

If he was not mistaken, Mo Jiawei even used their Prince to complete the upgrade of his demon hunter bloodline to the third tier, right?

Sandy followed behind the crowd, unable to hide the joy on his face.

He didn't expect the Holy Court in District 8 to be so strong.

That meant that their art pieces must be well-preserved!

Sandy was already planning in his heart how to empty the Holy Court's possessions.

He had heard some rumors before that Fang Heng was preparing to unify the worlds of the vampires. That was why he had specially come to wait for the latter, wanting to try his luck and participate in the moving.

Hey, there were a total of nine Vampire Apocalypses. How many art collections of the Holy Court would there be?

The Temple of Zeus would at least be upgraded by a few levels!

It would be a great achievement that was enough to be recorded in history!

After learning about the situation in District 8, Fang Heng immediately operated the large space-tearing device and tried to connect to the teleportation passage point of the Zombie Apocalypse.

A moment later, a young vampire Marquis rushed in to report, "Elder Clement, the Holy Court has already launched an attack on the city of Elena. Our men can't hold them off, and we need the Elders Council to provide support."

"Ahem," Clement coughed lightly and gestured to Fang Heng, who was fiddling with a large space-tearing device, "Brutus, you came at the right time. This is His Majesty, the King. Come and greet him."

The King?

The Vampire King's reinforcements had arrived so quickly?

Brutus was pleasantly surprised. He turned around and looked at Fang Heng, then immediately revealed a suspicious expression.

Wasn't the king too young?

Moreover, the vampire aura on his body was not obvious.

When he saw Fang Heng glancing at him from the corner of his eyes, Brutus immediately knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"Mm," Fang Heng waved the wrench in his hand and pressed the teleportation passage's return button, signaling the other party to get up and speak.

Elder Clement said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Brutus is a young man trained by the Elders Council. He has great potential. Since the disappearance of the two vampire Dukes, Brutus has been temporarily in charge of leading the vampires to resist the Holy Court's invasion. He knows the most about the Holy Court's movements. I hope he will be of help to you."

Report chapter Comments

"Mm," Fang Heng made a soft sound of agreement again, then buried his head in observing the various data displayed on the instrument.

Marquis Brutus was anxious. The situation on the battlefield outside was extremely urgent. How could the King be so calm?

"Your Majesty, the Holy Court is attacking Quentin Fog Castle in three directions, the central urban area, the city of Elena area, and the forest wetland area. Six vampire Marquises are leading the vampires to resist. Please give us your instructions."

"Alright. The portal will be activated soon. I'm lacking a guide. You can come with us later," Fang Heng nodded in response.

Right after he finished speaking, a line of game hints appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: You have triggered an influence-related side mission, the Holy Court's assault in District 8.]

[Mission name: The Holy Court's assault]

[Mission description: The Holy Court has taken advantage of the vampires' current weakness to launch a surprise attack. The vampires have suffered heavy losses and are in imminent danger. Most of the vampires in District 8 have pledged allegiance to you but still have doubts about you. It is time to dispel their doubts and show the Holy Court the power of the vampires.]

[Mission requirement: Eliminate the threat from the Holy Court in District 8. ]

[Possible rewards for completing the mission: Increased influence in the world of the vampire, control of District 8, increased level of vampire royal power glory. (The shorter the time taken to complete the quest, the more generous the rewards the player will receive).]

[Mission penalty: While the mission exists, the player's influence in the world of vampires will be continuously decreased.]

Fang Heng glanced at the game hint and was slightly moved.

Oh, not bad, the game finally did well for once. A mission to increase his influence had come knocking on his door!

While thinking, Fang Heng pressed the start operating button on the space-tearing device's console.

"Buzz…" The space-tearing device in the center of the hall emitted a faint blue light, and a light blue portal appeared in front of the space-tearing device.

A space passage? Were the reinforcements here?

With a thought, Brutus immediately led the surrounding vampires to back off.

After waiting for a few seconds, Duke Bellamy was the first to walk out of the portal.

Then, Attia and a few vampire Marquises followed them with groups of high-tier vampires through the teleportation portal and entered District 8.

Seeing the reinforcements led by the Duke with their own eyes, both elder Clement and Marquis Brutus had an excited look in their eyes.

Regardless of whether the title of Vampire King was real or fake, the reinforcements were real. They had really come to help!

At least they were more reliable than those scammers in District One!

And there was a vampire Duke among the reinforcements!

If there had been a Duke in District 8, those from the Holy Court would not have been so arrogant!

"Your Majesty!" At the lead, Bellamy knelt with the rest of the vampires in front of Fang Heng, "Everyone is ready. We can attack at any time."

Fang Heng turned his head and looked at the excited Brutus, "Brutus, lead the way. Let's go to the Holy Court."

"Yes!" Brutus knew that the time to counterattack had come. His face flushed with excitement as he asked, "Your Majesty, the Holy Court is currently attacking our territory from three directions. The forest wetland area is the most severely attacked, and the Marquises guarding the area can no longer hold on and are retreating. We can immediately teleport to the nearest teleportation point in the area and attack…"

"No, it's too troublesome," Fang Heng interrupted, "We're not going there. Let's go directly to the headquarters of the Holy Court."

Brutus's pupils constricted.

The headquarters of the Holy Court?

Did he want to destroy the headquarters of the Holy Court?

Brutus took a deep breath, "You mean you want to attack the headquarters of the Holy Court?"

"That's right. They're just the remnants of the Holy Court. There's nothing to be afraid of."

What a joke. Fang Heng had already assessed the strength of the Holy Court here. The meaning of the existence of the Holy Court in the Vampire Apocalypse was to be kept in captivity.

The archbishops with the strongest combat strength were only at the Duke level.

On his side, he had Duke Bellamy and the fusion Tyrant forms.

What was there to be afraid of? He could just crush them!

It was just enough to show his might!

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Brutus felt that Fang Heng was right!

For the past two days, the vampires had been crushed by the Holy Court, and they couldn't come to their senses.

Now, Brutus felt like he had returned to the time when the vampire Prince was still in District Eight.

The Holy Court was nothing!

They could crush the Holy Court however they wanted!

"Yes! The closest teleportation point to the headquarters is in the wilderness city of Lowen. We'll teleport immediately."

"Adjust the teleportation passage's frequency to the maximum. My friend is quite huge."

"Huh? Your friend?"

Brutus was still confused when he heard heavy footsteps coming from the portal.

"Thump… Thump, thump…"

Turning around, he saw a huge creature that was exuding lifeblood power. Brutus was shocked.

That terrifying monster…

What was it?

In District 8's Holy Court headquarters, the Holy Court's archbishop Jali's expression was uncertain.

The plan to attack the vampires was instigated by several Inhumans.

At first, the Holy Court had been hesitant, but after a series of probing, Jali found out that the strength of the vampires had been greatly reduced, just as the Inhumans had said.

The Holy Court had easily taken over a few regions around the wilderness they were in.

After tasting the benefits, the Holy Court immediately tried to attack the vampires.

The vampires were weaker than they had expected!

The Holy Court advanced triumphantly, and they were about to enter the central city of the vampires. Who would have thought that just an hour ago, everything was developing in the opposite direction?

"Archbishop, we've discovered a powerful vampire aura fluctuation. Judging from the strength of the aura, it's likely that we've encountered a Duke-tier vampire."

"The enemy is heading towards the Holy Court. Priest Vera has gone to investigate."

"Archbishop, we've lost contact with Vera's team of priests. The enemy is heading in the direction of the Holy Court headquarters!"

"…"

"The High Priestess is leading the Holy Court to fight back."

"The enemy is very strong, we might not be able to stop them."

"Lord Bishop, we can consider retreating."

The expressions of the few players from the Holy Court changed as they listened to the news that came in from the outside world.

An unknown vampire Duke?

Could it be…

The vampires from District 6?

About three hours ago, the players had learned about the news about the mission to become Territory Lord from the outside world. Soon, they also received the news that the Elders Council of District 8 had chosen to surrender to Fang Heng.

The players of the Holy Court had originally planned to loot a burning house, but they had never expected that they would encounter Fang Heng triggering a realm mission!

After spending a long time and effort, their attack on the vampire in alliance with the Federation had helped Fang Heng imperceptibly, making the vampires of District 8 choose to pledge loyalty to Fang Heng!

Who could tolerate this?

Even if they did, who would be able to bear such a huge loss?

After receiving the news of the surrender of District 8, the players immediately encouraged the Holy Court to speed up the elimination of the vampires.

However, the vampires didn't expect Fang Heng's reinforcements would come so quickly!

His strength was even more tyrannical! To think he brought the vampire Duke to the Holy Court's headquarters straight away as if he was going to go all out.

The player guilds were filled with regret. If they had known this would happen, who would have tricked the Holy Court into attacking the vampires?

"Come on! Come with me, I'll take them on myself!" Seeing that the vampires had already reached his doorstep, Archbishop Jali could not sit still any longer.

The vampires' attack was too fast and fierce, not even giving them any time to prepare for their retreat.

If they retreated now, the headquarters of the Holy Court, the Holy City, would be lost here.

Jali sighed deeply in his heart and made a decision.

Battle!

This might be the last wave of the vampires' attack!

As long as they could block this wave…

Outside the Holy Court's Holy City, the battlefield was covered in a thin layer of blood mist.

Fang Heng stood at the edge of the battlefield, watching from a distance as Duke Bellamy led the vampires to fight the Holy Court.

The two fusion Tyrant forms that had inherited the power of the Vampire King's remains were extremely eye-catching on the battlefield.

They were better at dealing with group battles than Bellamy.

When the fusion Tyrant form punched out, the turtle shells of the holy cast knights would be smashed into pieces. The lifeblood power explosion that followed after would also cause second-impact damage to the surrounding Holy Court members!

As the guide of the team, Brutus came with Fang Heng's team to participate in the battle. When he saw the scene of the fusion Tyrant forms wreaking havoc on the battlefield, he was shocked beyond words.

The two monsters that were exuding lifeblood power were simply too strong!

If this continued, the Holy Court could be destroyed today!

Attia, in her bat form, flew to Fang Heng's side from not far away. She returned to her human form, knelt on one knee, and reported, "Your Majesty, the blood sacrifice ritual for the Vampire King's remains has been prepared according to your request."

"Yes, well done," Fang Heng nodded slightly and shifted his gaze to the center of the battlefield.

The warriors of the Holy Court had died for their faith. He couldn't let their blood flow in vain!

Fang Heng showed his utmost respect to them. Then, he raised his hand and opened it in the direction of their bodies.

"Chi, chi, chi…"

On the battlefield, the blood flowing from the fallen Holy Court warriors was drawn by an invisible force, condensing into extremely fine blood beads and gathering in front of Fang Heng.

Within a short time, two red blood blobs had been condensed in front of Fang Heng.

Under his control, the blood blobs were poured into the ritual's blood pool not far behind.

Looking at the scene of Fang Heng controlling the blood, Brutus gulped.

What a terrifying blood affinity. To think he could control blood so easily.

The blood provided by the Holy Court warriors was very strong. In less than half a minute, the two blood pools that were hastily made for the blood sacrifice ritual were filled to the brim.

Fang Heng retracted his hand with satisfaction.

The vampire army led by Duke Bellamy was quickly approaching the Holy Court headquarters, the Holy City.

A few High Priestesses of the Holy Court joined forces to form a large holy light shield to resist the attack.

The shield was in imminent danger under the joint attack of the vampires.

"The main character is here," Fang Heng felt the power of the Holy Court gathering. He said softly and looked in the direction of the Holy City.

Buzz…

A golden pillar of light shot up into the sky and a blinding golden Holy Light bloomed in the center of the Holy City.

An elderly Holy Court elder walked out of the Holy City with a scepter in his hand and a few judges.

Fang Heng sized up the leading Holy Court elder.

"Your Majesty, he is Jali," Brutus whispered to Fang Heng, "The current archbishop of the Holy Court."

The golden light that shot up into the sky did not condense. Instead, it quickly turned into golden light spots and fell.

Under the illumination of the Holy Light, the blood mist that had shrouded the battlefield was completely dispersed!

Archbishop Jali looked around the battlefield and frowned. He raised the scepter in his hand and slammed it on the ground.

"Flowing Light Wall!"

Three thick walls formed by Holy Light rose from the ground and slowly pushed forward in three directions.

More than a dozen high-tier vampires in the direction of the moving walls sensed the powerful aura of the Holy Light contained in the walls. They did not dare to face them head-on and retreated one after another.

Mo Jiawei coughed lightly at the side, "I'll be honest with you. This entrance is a little pretentious…"

"Indeed," Fang Heng nodded in agreement and pointed in Jali's direction.

"Kill him!"

"Bang! Bang!"

The two fusion Tyrant forms that had inherited the Vampire King's remains were currently entangled with the Holy Court's elite holy cast knights. Upon receiving Fang Heng's order, the lifeblood power in their bodies suddenly burst out, forcing the Holy Court's holy cast knights around them away. Then, they stomped on the ground, leaving two shallow pits, and immediately flew towards the walls of Holy Light.

The Archbishop of the Holy Court, Jali, had just appeared and was about to say a few words to the vampires who were attacking the Holy City. However, before he could even open his mouth, he saw two behemoths emitting lifeblood power charging toward him.

Jali's expression turned serious.

Even Jali was shocked when he saw the powerful lifeblood power that enveloped the bodies of the fusion Tyrant forms.

What kind of monster was that?

They had such huge bodies, but they could still move so fast!

In the next moment, the two behemoths had already rushed in front of him.

A dull sound of impact came into Jali's ears.

"Bang! Bang, bang!"

The fusion Tyrant forms didn't make any unnecessary movements. They simply relied on their physical strength to smash their fists against the walls.

Every punch landed heavily on the walls of Holy Light, followed by the continuous lifeblood power outburst!

One punch!

Two punches!

The walls of holy light trembled under the continuous punches of the fusion Tyrant forms!

"Crack, crack, crack…"

In just a few seconds, after a dozen punches, fine cracks began to appear on the walls.

Monster!

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Jali's forehead, and his eyes were filled with fear.

"Boom!!!"

The walls made of Holy Light shattered before everyone's eyes.

"Attack together! Purify them!" Jali raised the godly scepter in his hand and pointed forward, hitting a fusion Tyrant form that was charging at him.

"Judgment!" As soon as he finished speaking, countless golden chains appeared on the fusion Tyrant form that tightly bound it!

"Roar!!!"

The fusion Tyrant form was controlled by the chains and was tied to the ground. It roared, and the lifeblood power in its body surged.

The burning lifeblood on the surface of its body corroded the golden chains, making them constantly emit green smoke and make sizzling sounds.

The other fusion Tyrant form charged forward, wanting to attack Jali to help its companion escape. However, it was blocked by a few holy light barriers cast by the judges of the Holy Court.

Taking advantage of this time, more than a dozen judges of the Holy Court and elites of the holy cast knights immediately gathered, constantly using control-type skills and body blocking, forcibly trapping the fusion Tyrant form in place.

Fang Heng watched from a distance, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead unconsciously.

Brutus was shocked by the power of the two fusion Tyrant forms.

Duke Bellamy hadn't even made a move, and they were already able to suppress the entire Holy Court to this extent?

961 Explosion

"Your Majesty, don't we need to go up and help?"

Brutus noticed that the Holy Court was on the verge of defeat.

However, the strange thing was that after the two fusion Tyrant forms entered the battlefield, the rest of the vampires slowly retreated under the lead of Duke Bellamy.

Why?

Brutus was puzzled.

If Duke Bellamy led all the vampire troops behind her and attacked now, the Holy Court would definitely not be able to hold out.

"No, there's no hurry. It's about to start."

Fang Heng relaxed and took a deep breath, staring at the battlefield in front of him.

Stimulated by the Holy Court's archbishop, the fusion Tyrant forms that had inherited the Vampire King's remains went out of control again.

Everything was within Fang Heng's expectations.

"Bellamy, get ready to move."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Bellamy, who had just retreated with the vampires, said with a solemn expression.

Brutus couldn't figure out if Fang Heng had something special up his sleeve, but he didn't dare to ask. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the surging lifeblood power on the battlefield.

The lifeblood energy on the two trapped fusion Tyrant forms had almost materialized. Their bodies were constantly burning with lifeblood, which looked particularly terrifying. With a punch, the elite holy cast knights would be stained with burning lifeblood.

Just dealing with these two monsters had exhausted all the power of the Holy Court!

What terrifying creatures!

To think their vitality was strong enough to support such a high-intensity infusion of lifeblood.

Brutus was sighing in amazement when his heart suddenly jumped.

Not good!

Suddenly, a strong sense of danger rose from the bottom of Brutus's heart.

The lifeblood around the fusion Tyrant forms seemed to have reached a breaking point.

In the next moment, two red glows that soared into the sky one after the other blinded his vision.

"Boom! Boom, boom!"

Two extremely dense balls of lifeblood power exploded in front of everyone's eyes almost without any warning. In the center of the explosion, the two balls of lifeblood power gathered and condensed into a blood-red light pillar!

Those that were from the Holy Court and were enveloped by the blood-red light pillar were instantly annihilated!

The eyes of the Holy Court's archbishop, Jali, flickered with extreme shock. He activated a Holy Light protective barrier and retreated quickly!

However, the Holy Light barrier was completely destroyed by the blood-red light pillar in less than a second!

"Boom!"

The pillar of light exploded!

The sudden explosion of the blood pillar enveloped the archbishop of the Holy Court and all the surrounding holy cast knights and priests!

Their line of sight was instantly occupied by the explosion of red lifeblood.

The explosive lifeblood power instantly radiated to the surroundings!

Fang Heng stood in place and raised his hand in the face of the fluctuation of the lifeblood power coming at him.

"Buzz…"

A solid vampires' barrier appeared in front of everyone.

"Bang!"

The barrier blocked the shockwave from the lifeblood explosion that radiated from afar.

The vampires with Fang Heng were all shocked.

The bloody mist in front covered a large area, and it was completely impossible to see what was happening in the center of the explosion.

Such a high-intensity explosion…

It was the first time Brutus and Mo Jiawei had witnessed the fusion Tyrant forms going out of control and exploding. Both of them were shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

After waiting for more than a minute, the lifeblood finally began to dissipate slowly.

Dense lines of game hints began to appear on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: You have lost control of the fusion Tyrant forms.]

[Hint: Your fusion Tyrant forms have died]

[Hint: You have killed the Holy Court's elite holy cast knights. You have received 102 survival points, 10 vampire reputation points, and a complete purification crystal *1]

[Hint: You have killed the Holy Court's elite priests…]

[Hint: You have killed the Holy Courts High Priestess…]

"Bellamy!" Fang Heng didn't have time to read the game hints in detail. He shouted and immediately controlled the fusion Tyrant forms behind him to run toward the deep pit left behind by the explosion.

"Yes!"

A deep pit appeared in the center of the explosion. The unlucky members of the Holy Court who were at the center of the explosion were almost completely annihilated!

Many of the remaining holy cast knights who had been far away were also severely injured. Their holy light shields were shattered, and their bodies were blown away by the impact of the explosion. Most of them were only left with a sliver of HP.

Duke Bellamy immediately led the high-tier vampires over and cleared out the remaining members of the Holy Court.

Attia and Brutus chased after Fang Heng.

Fang Heng didn't pay much attention to the battle situation with the Holy Court. He quickly came to the pothole left by the explosion and looked back and forth.

He found it!

The two fusion Tyrant forms at the center of the explosion had completely died, but the Vampire King's remains were still alive!

The heart and left arm of the King's remains!

Brutus, who had followed Fang Heng here, stood still. He could feel the strong lifeblood from the two parts. He couldn't help but take a step forward, wanting to see what they were.

"Be careful, it's very dangerous," Fang Heng stretched out his hand to stop Brutus.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Brutus nodded his head carefully and followed behind Fang Heng to observe. He was extremely vigilant and asked, "What are those?"

"The King's remains."

What?

Brutus's heart skipped a beat.

So those were the King's remains that they wanted to obtain when they invaded the real world?

No wonder he had such strength!

"Thump! Thump, thump!"

While Brutus was still in a state of shock and doubt, the two fusion Tyrant forms quickly caught up with him. Under Fang Heng's control, they stepped into the pit in front of them.

Then, Brutus saw a scene that shocked him.

The heart and left arm of the seemingly harmless Vampire King's remains on the ground seemed to have found their prey, and countless tiny tentacles suddenly extended from their bodies!

The heart and left arm sprung up from the ground almost at the same time, pouncing on the two fusion Tyrant forms that were closest to them.

"Chi, chi, chi…"

As soon as they touched the bodies, they immediately and quickly climbed up to the position of the fusion Tyrant forms' heart and left arm respectively.

The tentacles pierced into the fusion Tyrant forms' heart and left arm as if they were drilling a hole in the bodies.

Following the dark hole, tentacles extended out from the holes in the two fusion Tyrant forms' heart and arm respectively.

In just a few seconds, the tentacles that extended out wrapped the heart and left arm of the Vampire King into a red cocoon-like object.

"Thump! Thump!"

In just a short moment, the two fusion Tyrants trembled and fell heavily to the ground one after another, making a heavy sound and falling into a coma.

"Your Majesty, is this the inheritance of the King's remains' power?" Brutus's face was filled with horror. He found that this way of using power was not like the inheritance that the outside world had rumored. Instead, it was more like forced parasitism!

"Yes."

[Hint: Your fusion Tyrant forms are trying to inherit the power of the Vampire King's remains.]

[Hint: Your fusion Tyrant forms are currently unstable. Please perform a ritual to stabilize the state of the Vampire King's remains.]

Report chapter Comments

Fang Heng quickly checked the game hint, turned his head, and said, "Attia, bring them to the ritual."

"Yes!" Atiya was already prepared and waved her hand.

Several high-tier vampires behind the group immediately stepped forward and lifted the two fusion Tyrant forms together before quickly retreating.

At the back of the battlefield, more than twenty vampire elders were already on standby. Once the fusion Tyrant form was in place, they would immediately activate the magic array ritual and use the power of blood to restore the Vampire King's remains. They would slowly replenish the power of the remains and awaken the fusion Tyrant forms.

After settling the matter of the remains parasitizing the fusion Tyrant forms, Fang Heng raised his head again and looked at the sky.

Bellamy was in pursuit of Holy Court Archbishop Jali.

The archbishop of the Holy Court, Jali, had cast a Holy Light barrier to resist the explosion of the fusion Tyrant forms. He had escaped the moment the barrier was broken and had narrowly avoided the center of the explosion.

Even so, Jali was still hit by the explosion and was seriously injured!

Blood kept oozing out of Jali's five orifices, making him look particularly terrifying.

Escape!

By consuming the remaining life force in his body, Jali instinctively wanted to escape for a chance of survival!

Unfortunately, in terms of speed, the Holy Court was no match for the vampire.

"Chi!"

Bellamy quickly chased after Jali.

In a flash, her figure suddenly appeared in front of Archbishop Jali, blocking his path.

"Jali…" Looking at the heavily injured and unable to speak archbishop, the corners of Bellamy's lips curled up slightly, and a cold light appeared in her eyes, "A captive weakling should be like a dog, curling up on the ground obediently. Only in this way can it live on in a humiliated manner."

Without waiting for Jali's reply, Bellamy raised her hand.

A blood shadow flashed, and a line of blood appeared on Jali's neck. His pupils slowly lost their light as he fell from the sky.

"Hmph!" Bellamy snorted in disdain and quickly left, flying toward the remaining elite holy cast knights of the Holy Court.

[Hint: Your subordinate, vampire Duke Bellamy has killed the Holy Court's archbishop Jali. You have received 281 survival points, two high-energy evolution crystals, and a significant increase in your reputation among the vampires.]

[Hint: You have dealt a destructive blow to the Holy Court in District 8. Your reputation among the vampires has greatly improved.]

[Hint: You have completed the quest, the Holy Court's assault at District 8. The total time taken was 3 hours and 11 minutes. You have received 27000 vampire influence points. As you completed the quest within 24 hours, vampire royal power glory has been raised to LV3.]

Good! Mission accomplished!

Fang Heng looked at the game hints and prepared to finish up.

Hmm? What was that?

He suddenly noticed that something had been left next to Archbishop Jali's corpse, which was emitting a dark golden light.

Was something good dropped?

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and walked toward the direction where Jali had fallen.

It was a dark gold scepter.

Fang Heng walked to the scepter and sized it up carefully.

Not long ago, Archbishop Jali had used it himself, so it should not be some trash.

Fang Heng instantly switched to the sacred study state, raised his hand, and grabbed the scepter.

[Hint: The player has obtained an item, the Glorious One's Guardian Scepter]

[Item: The Glorious One's Guardian Scepter.]

[Equipment Requirement: Basic sacred study]

[Equipment Requirements (pure attributes): Basic physique 25 points, basic strength 25 points.]

[Additional attributes after equipping: Spirit 35, agility -20, physique 15, movement speed -10%.]

[Additional skill: Radiant Protection (passive)]

[Skill description: After equipping, the final effects of all sacred study defensive skills will be improved by 30%. After casting a holy spell, one will immediately obtain a Holy Light shield with HP half of one's mana consumption (this spell requires at least 200 mana). The shield lasts for 120 seconds. The shield's HP can be stacked and thus refresh the effect duration. (The player can choose whether the skill will take effect passively).]

[Description: A scepter with a powerful protective force. Due to its heavy weight, the user has to have sufficient physique and strength.]

A treasure!

Fang Heng's eyes flashed with surprise the moment he saw the attributes of the equipment.

Just the fact it could increase the final effect of skills by 30% was already quite good. In addition, there was the shield that came with using the Holy Light skill.

In theory, as long as Fang Heng's mental strength was sufficient, he could consume his mental strength limitlessly and stack it infinitely to form a terrifying shield!

But, there were also negative effects.

"As expected of the Holy Light's turtle shell…" Fang Heng muttered in a low voice.

This piece of equipment was a typical holy element equipment. Its attributes were particularly turtle-shell-like. It also had the debuff effect of slowing down one's movement speed.

It couldn't be used as a conventional weapon, but it could be used to deal with some unexpected situations, or it could be considered when he wanted to stack his attributes.

As Fang Heng thought about it, he put the scepter into his backpack for now.

Seeing that the remaining forces of the Holy Court had been almost wiped out by Duke Bellamy, Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the back of the team.

"Sandy, it's time for you to show off."

"Is it my turn? I'm here! I'm coming!"

Sandy had been peeking from behind for a long time. When he heard Fang Heng's shout, he quickly wriggled out of the vampire crowd and jogged to Fang Heng's side.

"The thing I want should be hidden in the Holy City. I'll leave finding it to you since it's your specialty. Time is a little tight, so hurry up."

"Hehe," The anticipation in Sandy's eyes could no longer be concealed. He stared in the direction of the Holy City and rubbed his hands excitedly, "Don't worry, no matter where the Holy Court hides their treasures, I will turn the place upside down!

"Good luck."

"Follow me! Be careful! Don't destroy the buildings! Especially the decorations inside!"

With a wave of Sandy's hand, he led a group of vampires and charged into the Holy City with much gusto.

After the matter came to an end, Fang Heng went back to the rear of the battlefield to check the state of the offerings.

One of the vampire elders in charge of maintaining the altar nodded and said, "Your Majesty, the blood supply in the blood pool is sufficient, and the ritual is going smoothly. The power of the remains is slowly recovering, and it is expected that it will stabilize soon."

"Alright, continue."

Fang Heng nodded and stood by the blood pool, waiting.

After about ten minutes, two lines of game hints appeared on his retina.

[Hint: Your fusion Tyrant forms have completed the inheritance of the Vampire King's remains' power.]

[Hint: This power is dangerous. Please be careful.]

[Hint: The power is still in an unstable state.]

Fang Heng tried to issue an order to the fusion Tyrant forms through his consciousness.

The two fusion Tyrant forms immediately accepted the order and walked out of the blood pool one after the other. They stood quietly behind Fang Heng.

Compared to the two Fusion Tyrant forms who exploded just now, their lifeblood power was clearly much weaker.

The vampires who performed the ritual explained to Fang Heng, "Your Majesty, the two fusion bodies are only temporarily activated. If you want to restore them to their peak state, they need to go through further rituals."

963 A Bomb

"Mm, very good. We've done well. Next…" Fang Heng nodded his head and mumbled to himself.

The resurrection of the King's remains had to be completed in the real world, but after two stages of the resurrection ritual, the subsequent stable state could also be achieved through the ritual in the game world.

Bomb tactic, test successful!

Fang Heng muttered in his heart.

He had not had the time to study the Vampire King's coffin thoroughly. At least for the time being, the Vampire King's remains could be tied together with the fused Tyrant forms and used as a bomb.

Coupled with the unlimited rebirth characteristic of the fusion Tyrant forms, as long as he had enough blood, he would have two recyclable super bombs!

And it was the kind that could be controlled remotely!

Wouldn't the enemies be afraid of sudden self-destruction?

The only thing that was lacking was stability.

Just as Fang Heng was wondering if there was any way to improve it, Duke Bellamy flew over from the Holy City not far away. She knelt on one knee on the ground and reported, "Your Majesty, I have found the Holy Thorn that you were looking for."

Fang Heng's eyes lit up, "Okay, take me there!

Half an hour later, in the basement of the Holy City, Sandy was excited as he called the group of human slaves that he had just recruited to pack up and carry the "artwork" of the Holy Court.

Duke Bellamy led Fang Heng to a secret hall in the deepest part of the basement.

The center of the hall was an empty circle.

There were originally many decorations here, but they had been packed into boxes and moved away as soon as Sandy found them.

Five statues of the Holy Court's judges were arranged in five corners of the circular hall. They were all in a praying posture with one hand extended forward to the center of the circular hall.

Three of the statues held a dark golden awl in their hands.

Fang Heng walked to one of the statues and took the awl in the statue's hand.

"Buzz!"

A dazzling light suddenly flashed in Fang Heng's hand.

[Hint: The player has obtained an item, incomplete Holy Thorn (replica)]

[Item: Incomplete Holy Thorn (incomplete)]

[Tier: Part of a holy weapon replica]

[Description: This item is incomplete. It can not be used directly.]

[Description: This item is a replica of the Holy Court's holy weapon, Heaven's Thorn. It can be used after being fully assembled, causing great holy damage to the target. The explosive power can even seriously injure a vampire Prince (it will self-destruct after one use).]

[Description: Additional skill after assembly, Holy Pierce]

[Hint: The player belongs to the vampire faction. The player can sacrifice this equipment through a ritual. After the sacrifice, the player's Vampire Bloodline's EXP and vampire reputation points will be greatly increased.]

The Holy Thorn!

The key item was in his hands!

Fang Heng stuffed all the Holy Thorns in the hands of the sculptures into his backpack one by one and turned to look at Bellamy, "Ask Mo Jiawei how the preparations are going in District 9. Get ready to invade District 9 at any time!"

"Yes!"

Vampire Apocalypse District 9.

After a gathered discussion, the Elders Council announced to the public that they would not recognize Fang Heng's status as the heir to the Vampire King.

Everything returned to normal.

Vampire Prince Carl thought nothing about the so-called Vampire King.

That despicable vampire!

It turned out that Fang Heng was his real name!

That liar!

He had used despicable means to snatch the holy weapon headdress from him, and had even caused chaos in District 9's vampire Elder Council!

He was saying that he had inherited the Vampire King's coffin's inheritance?

What a joke!

The last time Carl had been forcefully awakened from his slumber, the curse in his body had spread a little more.

After the Elders Council's internal discussion, Carl quickly prepared to return to the Land of Hibernation to continue his hibernation.

After an unknown period, Carl, who was in his coffin, abruptly opened his eyes.

The red mark on his forehead glowed with a faint light.

Carl's perception told him that Fang Heng, who had ambushed and injured him last time, had appeared in the world of the vampire again!

And he was moving at high speed.

That guy still dared to come?!

Ever since the game of cat and mouse last time, Carl had not sensed Fang Heng's position.

Carl's anger was ignited in an instant. He immediately woke up from his slumber and was ready to leave the coffin to pursue Fang Heng.

Hmm?

Carl's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly felt a force binding him!

Something was wrong!

This coffin…?

Did someone do something to the coffin?

Carl immediately tried to break free, but he found that he was tightly bound by the coffin.

When was this done?

Carl was shocked.

Did the perpetrator take advantage of the time when he was in the Elders Council meeting?

To think someone could sneak into the Land of Hibernation without him knowing and even do something to his coffin…

"Demon hunter… Do they think this is enough to trap me?" Carl's anger grew and he sneered disdainfully. He immediately released his lifeblood power to break free from the coffin's restraints.

Ever since Fang Heng invaded the vampire Elders Council, even a random demon hunter could do something to his coffin now!

However, how could he be trapped by such a seal?

He only needed five minutes to break free!

The blood-colored aura continued to flow out of Carl's body, and the aura was rapidly wearing down the seal within the coffin.

On the surface, the entire coffin was emitting wisps of green smoke.

In just another five minutes!

Carl suppressed the anger in his heart.

At that time, he would be able to break the seal and tear Fang Heng into pieces!

There was also that person who had secretly tampered with his coffin!

It was obvious that these two incidents were not independent. They had cooperated premeditatedly.

Did they think that this was enough to…

Hmm?

Carl's brows furrowed tightly. He could feel that Fang Heng was approaching the vampire Elders Council at full speed.

He was coming this way?!

What was he trying to do?

Was he thinking that his death couldn't come any faster?

For some reason, Carl felt a sense of uneasiness.

In the vampire Elders Council's underground, Fang Heng joined up with Meng Hao and the others as soon as he entered the Elders Council. He took the two Holy Thorns from Chu Yan of the Piety Guild, then followed Meng Hao into the inner section of the Elders

Council, running as fast as he could.

The target was the Angetas cave built under the vampire Elders Council!

There were only five minutes left for Fang Heng. They had to quickly complete the plan before the vampire Prince arrived.

Meng Hao's plan was simple.

With the help of the demon hunters and Chu Yan of the Piety Guild, they found three Holy Thorns. Together with the Holy Thorns that Fang Heng had collected from District 8, they formed a complete Holy Thorn!

The first step of the plan had been completed!

After combining all the Holy Thorns, the attributes of the Holy Thorns in Fang Heng's hands changed. It was still an item that would be destroyed after one use, but it had a new additional skill.

[Item: Holy Thorn]

[Tier: Psuedo holy weapon (Can not be put into the backpack, can not pass through the teleportation passage).]

[Description: A perfect replica of the Holy Court's Heaven's Thorn. Unfortunately, due to material limitations, the replica can not withstand the high intensity of holy power and is in an unstable state. Therefore, it can not be put into a backpack or transported through the teleportation passage (this item will automatically self-destruct after one use).]

[Additional skill: Holy Pierce]

[Skill description: Launches an extremely short stab forward, causing a lot of damage to the target. Great additional damage can be caused to vampires, dark, shadows, monsters, undead, and life forms of the such.]

964 Barging in

While running forward, Fang Heng also carefully checked the attributes of the Holy Thorn.

The second step of the plan was Angetas.

To play it safe, Meng Hao's target this time wasn't the vampire Prince.

It was Angetas!

It was difficult to collect the Holy Thorn, but even more difficult to use.

Firstly, its range was short.

The vampire Princes were powerful. Based on his past battle experience with them, the combat mode of the vampire Princes was mostly long-distance casting of various large-range vampire spells.

It was already difficult for ordinary players to get close to the Prince. In addition, vampires had high agility. How could one even dream about getting into proximity and stabbing a vampire Prince?

Secondly, even if he managed to stab the Prince, he wouldn't be able to kill the latter. He would only be able to severely injure him, but not kill him completely.

Meng Hao changed his train of thought.

Using the Holy Thorn to deal with Angetas was a very good idea!

After all, Angetas could not move!

This brought great convenience to the assassination.

As long as they found a way to destroy Angetas, the vampire Prince would be constantly weakened by the curse in his body. At that time, they only needed to wait quietly for a while, and the vampires in District 9 would naturally die out.

Fang Heng and Meng Hao had already calculated the time. After the two met up, they found an excuse to enter the Elders Council, then rushed toward the Angetas cave.

Meng Hao had already taken care of everything on the beginning journey in the Elders Council.

However, after entering the secret cave guarded by the vampires below, several high-tier vampires immediately came up to them and stopped them for interrogation.

"Who is it?"

"It's me. We've received permission from the Elders Council to use Angetas for the vampire bloodline inheritance," Meng Hao replied.

Two high-tier vampires came forward and looked at Fang Heng and Meng Hao vigilantly.

"Oh, really? We haven't received any relevant news. Please wait a moment. We'll contact the Elders Council for verification," The high-tier vampire guard looked suspicious. He stopped the two and gestured to his subordinate.

Another high-tier vampire stared at Fang Heng with suspicion in his eyes, "Who are you? Take off your mask."

Meng Hao sighed to himself. The security of the Angetas cave was tight, and they had indeed not been fooled.

Fang Heng took a look at the countdown given by the game.

They couldn't be delayed, or they might not make it.

"Do it!"

Whoosh!

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Heng had already dodged to the side of the high-tier vampires with the help of teleportation and quickly ran toward the depths of the cave passage.

The two high-tier vampires on guard were stunned for a moment before they shouted, "Stop him! An invader!"

They were too late!

With the support of his high agility attribute, Fang Heng's speed accelerated again. He avoided the two of them and ran forward madly!

The underground passage seemed to have come to life as the high-tier vampires on the ceiling were awakened one after another. They flapped their wings and attacked Fang Heng quickly!

It took a few seconds for the vampires to wake up from hanging upside down from the cave walls.

In the past few seconds, Fang Heng had already run away. Only a small number of vampires could block his path.

Fang Heng's speed was accelerated to his maximum. Facing the bats in front of him, he didn't dodge or evade. Instead, he relied on his self-healing ability and directly withstood the damage of the high-tier vampires in bat form.

"Stop!" At the end of the passage, Marquis Marcus led more than a dozen vampires to block the narrow passage.

Behind them was the entrance to the Angetas cave.

Seeing the intruder, Jacques's expression became serious and he motioned for the vampires to be on guard.

Seeing that Fang Heng had no intention of stopping, Jacques stepped forward and blocked his path.

"Stop him! Don't let him get close to the cave!"

"Ha, you're quite dedicated," Fang Heng took note of the position of the entrance in front of him and made a mental note of it. Then, the corners of his lips curled up, and he took out a jade pendant.

He poured his mental strength into the jade pendant!

"Chi, chi, chi…"

A thick black aura of the death realm emanated from the jade pendant, enveloping Fang Heng within!

In an instant, the black aura spread into the passage!

At the end of the corridor, it was pitch black for Jacques and the high-tier vampires. They immediately lost track of Fang Heng and his aura.

At the same time, several large-scale alchemy magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng's feet.

Huge and thick arms emerged from the magic arrays!

The fusion Tyrant forms climbed out of the magic arrays, taking heavy steps as they rushed forward with Fang Heng.

In front of them, Marquis Jacob and the high-tier vampires had completely blocked the entrance of Angetas.

Jacques was shocked.

He didn't know what method the other party had used, but the pitch-black aura of the death realm in the cave passage had blocked all his perception. He could only hear the heavy footsteps and feel the tremors under his feet.

It was as if huge creatures were running wildly in the tunnel.

What exactly was it?

Jacques had a bad feeling about this, and he was on high alert, staring at the black mist in front of him.

What was that?

Jacques's pupils contracted.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a huge gray fist emerged from the black aura of the death realm in front of him!

What?!

"Boom"

Jacques didn't have time to think. He instinctively put his hands in front of his body for protection, then he felt a huge impact coming from the front!

His body was sent flying by the fusion Tyrant form's punch, and he slammed into the wall behind him.

Under the cover of the aura of the death realm, Fang Heng took advantage of the fusion Tyrant forms actions in opening up a path and quickly rushed toward the light ahead, past Jacques and the other vampires.

He found it!

The giant cave below the Elders Council!

"Who are you? Invader!" As soon as Fang Heng stepped into the cave, many vampires in the hall immediately sensed his arrival and gathered around him.

The vampire Marquise Erin, who was in charge of guarding the interior of the cave, stared at Fang Heng, feeling extremely surprised.

In many years, the Angetas cave had never been attacked by intruders.

The vampires hanging upside down on the top of the cave and the Angetas sacred tree were immediately awakened. They gathered towards Fang Heng and surrounded him in the middle.

"Stop! This is the vampire's forbidden land. State your identity, vampire!"

Erin could sense the aura of the vampire on Fang Heng and approached him to step by step.

Fang Heng didn't answer. He simply raised his hand and opened his palm toward Erin.

Marquise Erin's expression changed drastically!

The moment Fang Heng opened his palm, she felt that the blood in her body couldn't stop surging! She had no choice but to stop and control the blood flow in her body which was accelerating.

Erin couldn't speak. She stared at Fang Heng, bewildered.

Who was this person? To think he could control the blood in her body so easily… Such strong blood affinity, even the Prince…

What was that?

Erin's eyes widened. She saw the soil beneath Fang Heng's feet rolling and numerous palms reaching out from the ground!

What was that?

Ghouls?!

At Fang Heng's feet, vine zombies began to resurrect.

More magic arrays were circling the ground.

Huge fusion Tyrant forms also began to climb out of the ground.

Then, the previous fusion Tyrant forms rushed in from the outside after they finished dealing with the blood Marquises outside. They blocked the entrance to the Angetas cave with their bodies.

Fang Heng's gaze didn't stay on Erin for long. He took out a Holy Light spear from his backpack and strode towards the ancient tree of Angetas.

"Stop!" Marquise Erin took a few deep breaths and tried to stop Fang Heng while enduring the discomfort in her body.

"Whoosh!"

As Fang Heng dashed forward, he suddenly waved the Holy Thorn in his hand.

Buzz…

A dark golden radiance made Erin's eyes flash.

Her face turned ghastly pale and she dodged to the side.

In that short exchange, a layer of cold sweat had appeared on her forehead!

Such a terrifying holy aura!

What was that weapon?

If she had been unlucky enough to be hit by that weapon…

Erin didn't dare to think further.

Not only did the other party have a strong blood affinity that could affect her blood flow, but he could also control the power of the Holy Court?

Who the hell was he?

Fang Heng glanced at the bewildered Erin from the corner of his eyes and scuttled all the way to the vampires' sacred tree Angetas, and stood on a branch that extended from the ancient tree.

[Hint: You have received an emergency message from the survival radio.]

[Mo Jiawei: God, Prince Carl has escaped and is heading towards you! Be careful!]

[Fang Heng: Got it. No worries.]

Erin stared at Fang Heng.

She was already extremely afraid of Fang Heng and didn't even dare to get close to him. She could only use words to deter him, "You can't escape. His Highness the Prince is already on his way."

Prince Carl?

"What if I don't?" Fang Heng curled his lips and took off the mask on his face.

Looking at Fang Heng's face, Erin was shocked.

It was actually him?

Outside the vampire's Elders Council, which was in a state of chaos, after Meng Hao led the way for Fang Heng, he immediately retreated. He met up with the Pious Guild players at a safe spot.

Everyone had done their best in this cooperation and left the final fatal blow to Fang Heng.

Everyone gathered anxiously, waiting for the news.

Seeing that nothing had happened after a long time, Ah Ding asked anxiously, "Boss, why isn't there any news from Mr. Fang yet? It's about time, isn't it?"

According to the original plan, Fang Heng would kill his way into the Angetas cage and destroy the sacred tree Angetas with the Holy Court's holy weapon, the Holy Thorn.

Once Angetas was destroyed, the strength of the vampires would gradually decline. At that time, they would think of ways to get some benefits.

However, as time went by, there was still no news from Fang Heng.

Meng Hao frowned hard.

Could there be a problem somewhere?

The most likely trouble that they would encounter was that the Holy Thorn was not strong enough to completely destroy Angetas.

Meng Hao had raised this concern to Fang Heng, but the latter had patted his chest and guaranteed that there wouldn't be a problem.

It should not be a problem. Fang Heng was strong enough to finish off the weakened Angetas.

Even if he couldn't completely destroy Angetas, he should have heard the game's hints.

Meng Hao warned himself to remain calm, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry. Trust Mr. Fang and we'll wait."

At the entrance of the Angetas cave, Prince Carl immediately pursued Fang Heng in the direction he sensed the latter after he broke free from the sealed coffin.

"That guy!"

Prince Carl had never expected that Fang Heng would dare to come here!

To think he even wanted to make a move on Angetas!

Carl didn't want to admit it, but he was really panicking!

It wouldn't happen.

It would be okay.

District 9's Angetas had been carefully raised and had absorbed thousands of years of power. It was extremely powerful.

In addition, there were also a large number of vampire guards in the cave. Even he could not finish them in a short time, let alone Fang Heng!

It was impossible for him to destroy Angetas!

Carl was very sure that Fang Heng couldn't cause any damage to Angetas in a short time, but he still felt uneasy.

He arrived!

Seeing the entrance to the Angetas cave gradually appear in front of him, Prince Carl quickly rushed in.

Why was it so quiet?

Prince Carl couldn't help but stop when he stepped into the cave.

His face was gloomy, and the corners of his eyes twitched as he stared at the sacred tree Angetas.

How did this happen?

The originally lively Angetas seemed to have fallen seriously ill. Large pieces of yellow leaves were scattered on the ground, and the ground was covered with fallen leaves.

"Oh, you're here. You're a little late."

Fang Heng was standing on a branch that extended out of Angetas. Then, like a good friend who had not seen each other for many years, he waved at Carl.

"Fang Heng!"

Carl gritted his teeth and scanned his surroundings.

Including the two vampire Marquises who were responsible for guarding Angetas, all the vampires did not dare to approach Fang Heng. They stood far away from him and did not dare to make any movements as if they were afraid of something.

Why didn't they do anything?

Carl felt hatred in his heart. He felt that this group of vampires was too useless! They couldn't even stall Fang Heng for two minutes!

Carl was about to move forward when his heart suddenly jumped.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're still so impulsive," Fang Heng took out the Holy Thorn from behind his back and played with it in his hand, "Don't be anxious."

Carl raised his head and stared at the sharp thorn in Fang Heng's hand, which was constantly emitting holy power!

What was that?

Carl felt a great threat from the thorn!

Fang Heng's smile grew wider when he saw that Carl had some scruples.

He pointed the Holy Thorn at the trunk of the ancient tree of Angetas beside him, "Don't come close, Carl. You should know the consequences."

Carl stared at Fang Heng, his eyes filled with anger to the brim.

"Fang Heng, good! I've been thinking about what it would be like to meet you this time. You're courting death."

"Hehe, so what?" Fang Heng stopped smiling and held the Holy Thorn in his hand. He moved closer to the sacred tree Angetas and said, "I just want to have a good talk with you. I advise you not to be impulsive. I'm timid, so if I'm not careful, I might…"

Carl gritted his teeth.

"Alright, let's talk! What do you want to talk about?"

"Hmm, my request is very simple," Fang Heng looked at Carl and said calmly, "Submit to me."

Carl was stunned for a moment before he burst out laughing, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Submit? You must be dreaming!"

Report chapter Comments

"Tsk, tsk, tsk…" Fang Heng shook his head and revealed a regretful expression. He sighed and said, "I thought we could communicate peacefully, but since you're so unwilling, then there's no other way. I can only destroy Angetas…"

Fang Heng observed Carl's expression and continued, "Without Angetas, even if you don't agree, the Elders Council can only come begging to submit, right?"

"You?" Carl narrowed his eyes and stared at Fang Heng, "If I'm not mistaken, the thing in your hand came from the Holy court. It does contain a powerful force. But you want to completely destroy Angetas with just that thing? You must be dreaming!"

"Indeed, thank you for taking care of Angetas for so many years. This may not be enough," Fang Heng agreed with him, "But what if I add this?"

!!

With that, he stretched out his other hand and gently pressed on the trunk of the ancient tree Angetas, "Open your eyes and take a good look. This is the power I inherited from the Will of the Vampire King."

Carl raised an eyebrow.

Then, his face revealed a terrifying expression.

What was going on?

Angetas trembled slightly under Fang Heng's gentle touch!

Immediately after, the yellow leaves on the branches of Angetas withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, until they turned gray!

The withering was gradually spreading to the entire ancient tree of Angetas!

Dried leaves kept falling from the shaking ancient trees of Angetas.

All the vampires in the cave could feel that Angetas' life force was rapidly weakening!

"Stop!" Carl panicked and quickly tried to stop him.

He looked at Fang Heng and actually believed him a little.

Could it be that Fang Heng was really the successor of the Vampire King?

Someone who could control the power of Angetas… This was the first time such a person had appeared!

Damn it!

Carl found himself in a dilemma.

Regardless of whether Fang Heng was the heir to the Vampire King or not, as long as he wanted to, he could really destroy Angetas!

Seeing the expression on Carl's face, Fang Heng laughed in his heart.

He knew that his duping tactics had worked.

The move that quickly weakened Angetas was not from the Will of the Vampire King as he had said.

To put it simply, it was done by the vine zombie clones that had been resurrected.

Taking advantage of the chaos when they first entered the cave, many zombies entered the blood pool under Fang Heng's control.

Then, when he stretched out his hand and pressed on the ancient tree of Angetas, he gave an order to the zombies hiding at the bottom of the blood pool to absorb the power of the blood pool crazily!

As a result, the power of the blood pool was rapidly extracted, and the vitality of the ancient tree of Angetas was quickly weakened.

At first glance, it looked like he was controlling Angetas and it seemed very intimidating.

Fang Heng was the only person in all the elementary games who could do this.

Even if Carl cracked his own head open from thinking about it, he would never have thought that Fang Heng would have such a way to create such a wonder!

Fang Heng looked at the bewildered Carl and the other vampires and felt secretly pleased.

Heh, the vampires were so easy to fool.

If Jian Muzhi could deceive them, so could he!

"How is it, Carl? There's not much time left for you to consider. Submit to me and I can guarantee the safety of Angetas. Not only that, but I can also help you break the curse in your bodies."

Fang Heng retracted his hand temporarily and controlled the zombie clones to stop absorbing the power of the blood pool.

Carl gritted his teeth and stared at Fang Heng. He was in a dilemma.

Once Angetas was destroyed, all the vampires would be buried with him!

If he could think of a way to kill Fang Heng in an instant…

He could not do it!

At most, both sides would be heavily injured!

While killing Fang Heng, Fang Heng could also give a fatal blow to Angetas with the Holy Thorn in his hand!

Was there a need for this?

Carl wavered.

After losing Angetas, his power would gradually fade and he would be unable to suppress the curse in his body.

He would die.

Moreover, he would die in a very tragic way.

He didn't want to die!

Carl stared at Fang Heng, "Are you sure you're not lying to me? "

"Of course not, as long as you swear your allegiance to me," Fang Heng stared at Carl and said, "Submit to me. This is the only way to break the curse in your body. Otherwise, you will be buried with Angetas."

After a moment of silence, Carl nodded, "If you can guarantee the safety of Angetas, I can give you a month."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"I can swear allegiance to you on behalf of the vampire Elders Council, but we refuse to accept your orders. Within a month, I want to see you have the ability to break the curse in our bodies. Otherwise, I will personally expose your disguise, even if I have to die with you."

Fang Heng thought for a while and calculated quickly.

No loss!

He could first stabilize District 9, then just think of a way to trick them a month later!

"Alright, that's fine too," Fang Heng nodded and said, "Submit then."

Carl took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

"I hope you will keep your promise."

A month was just an excuse for Carl to not be so embarrassed in front of so many vampires.

He didn't want to die and he didn't want to fight Fang Heng head-on.

At least on the surface, it wasn't that he couldn't defeat Fang Heng. Instead, it seemed as if he had no choice but to surrender to Fang Heng for the sake of the vampire's future and to break the vampire's curse.

Carl knelt on one knee, "I'm willing to submit."

The other vampires in the cave watched this scene.

Fang Heng's method of controlling Angetas had already shocked them.

Since the Prince had chosen to temporarily pledge his allegiance, the other vampires had no need to resist.

The other vampires also knelt on one knee.

"Your Majesty."

"Hmm," Fang Heng put away the Holy Thorn expressionlessly, and lines of game hints appeared on his retina.

[Failure penalty: ???]

967 The Fourth

Fang Heng's eyes moved away from the game hint.

Although he was still unable to truly control the entire District 9 and borrow Prince Carl's power, the operation had successfully satisfied Fang Heng's expectations now that he had taken over the entire Area 9.

After completing the hostility mission, the vampire royal power glory had been upgraded to LV4.

As such, although there were still many missions that were constantly deducting his vampire influence point, his current influence points were no longer decreasing. Instead, they were slowly increasing at a speed of dozens of points per minute.

Good!

Fang Heng clenched his fist lightly.

There were a total of nine districts in the vampire game world, and now three of them had pledged their allegiance to him.

One-third completed!

At the same time, Meng Hao and Ah Ding, who had been waiting anxiously outside the vampire Elders' Council, received a game notification.

[Hint: The player's current vampire faction has temporarily pledged allegiance to Fang Heng. The player can choose whether to pledge allegiance to Fang Heng or not. Your choice may lead to different mission branches (click here for more details).]

Seeing the game hint that suddenly appeared, the two of them were stunned and stood still for a long time without speaking.

Meng Hao was shocked beyond belief.

He had imagined that the plan would be easily completed, and he had also imagined that the plan would encounter various problems and fail.

But now?

What had happened?!

The plan had been to destroy Angetas, but to think Fang Heng went over to defeat all the vampires and reclaim their loyalty?

"What's wrong? Why do you look so pale?"

The group from the Pious Guild was not in the vampire faction, so they could not receive the relevant game notifications. Seeing Meng Hao and Ah Ding's expressions change, Chu Yan could not help but feel anxious and ask, "Are we in trouble?"

Only then did Ah Ding come back to his senses. His eyes still revealed a hint of disbelief as he said, "No, it's not like that. District 9 surrendered to Fang Heng."

"Huh?"

Other than Mo Jiawei, who looked happy, the rest of the players were dumbfounded.

The plan had been going smoothly, so why was Fang Heng suddenly involved?

Where did he come from?

"Everyone," At a time like this, Meng Hao felt that there was no need to continue hiding. He exchanged a look with Mo Jiawei, then looked around at the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Actually, there's something that I've been keeping a secret from you all."

"Yes. You might have guessed that Mr. Fang is Fang Heng," Everyone stood rooted to the ground and shifted their gaze to Mo Jiawei.

"Let's put it this way. It's the same person, but not the same person," Mo Jiawei pretended to be mysterious. He shrugged and said, "He ran into some trouble some time ago. Anyway, this is a secret. Please don't disclose it to anyone."

After hearing Mo Jiawei's inexplicable explanation, the crowd fell silent.

Then, the players saw the joyful surprise in each other's eyes.

So, Mr. Fang is the double World Lord Fang Heng from the Zombie Apocalypse?

They had unknowingly clung onto such a big shot?

Wasn't this great news?

Less than ten minutes after the announcement of District 9's Elders Council's allegiance, an unprecedented wave of discussion was once again set off on the game forum!

The previous wave of discussions about Fang Heng hadn't died down yet, but the next wave of discussions was hyped up again.

"9 hours and 29 minutes! Vampire District 9 has pledged allegiance!"

In the forum, the topic of whether Fang Heng was arrogant or not was instantly gone.

The trend in the forum had changed. Would Fang Heng unify the vampires? How long would it take for him to unify all the worlds of the vampires?

What kind of changes would the players experience after the world of the vampires was unified? Would Fang Heng's gaming work studio monopolize the world of the vampires?

Was Fang Heng planning to monopolize the Zombie World next? Would the Wasteland World be in danger? Was he cheating or not?

After discussing for less than 20 minutes, another piece of shocking news was released.

"Shocking!! Vampire Apocalypse District 5 has announced its allegiance to Fang Heng!"

District 5 too?!

The entire forum was in an uproar.

Even the discussion about the world of the vampires' invasion into the real world was not as heated as this time.

Ever since Fang Heng's attempt to unify the vampires was exposed, in just 10 hours, four worlds of the vampires were already standing on his side, including District 6.

There were only nine servers in the world of the vampires!

Nearly half!

What was even more unbelievable to the players was that the super-sized gaming companies and guilds related to the Vampire Apocalypse in the game were surprisingly silent, and no one spoke up.

Hence, the players started to discuss what the major gaming guilds were doing. Would there be some shocking conspiracy waiting for Fang Heng?

What the players didn't know was that the major gaming companies and guilds were in a terrible fix. If they heard the former's discussion, they would probably curse.

A shocking conspiracy, their ass!

In fact, as soon as the world of the vampires' realm mission was triggered, all major player gaming unions and companies tried to investigate Fang Heng's background and identity at the first opportunity. They began to investigate the relevant content of the vampires' influence point mission and were ready to get a share of the profits.

Unfortunately, the prerequisites for the vampire influence point mission were extremely high. Except for the high-tier vampires recognized by the vampire Elders Council, the other players' vampire influence points were all 0, and they could not obtain the relevant information at all.

Before the major gaming companies could investigate thoroughly, the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse.

In just 10 hours, Fang Heng had taken over four Districts of the vampire game world! Four vampires Elder Council had pledged their alliance to him at lightning speed!

At this point, even if they didn't continue their investigation, the top guilds in the game knew what was going on.

What they were about to face was an extremely terrifying opponent.

In all fairness, even if they were given ten times the strength, they would not be able to conquer three large vampire districts in ten hours!

The evaluation reports of the major companies all gave the same conclusion: They couldn't beat him!

The next thing they should think about was, instead of continuing to waste human and material resources on the Vampire Apocalypse, should they simply choose to give up?

However, once they gave up, all the investments they had made over the years would go down the drain. That was too hard to accept.

Therefore, trying to cooperate with Fang Heng had become the best solution that the major game companies could think of at the moment.

Fight my ass! They had to hurry up and find Fang Heng to cooperate and cling to this big shot!

Now, all the major game companies in the outside world were frantically looking for Fang Heng's studio, wanting to contact him. They had no time to go to the forum to watch the show.

However, they could not find him!

Fang Heng's studio was drowned in calls!

The studio's newly recruited front desk lady was on the verge of tears.

What did the boss do? Why did the phone keep ringing?

Every phone call was asking for her boss, and she would give the same response every time: The boss wasn't around, the boss was busy, the boss was working with the Federation, the boss couldn't be contacted for the time being, and so on.

968 Backer

In the game, Fang Heng was completely unaware of the discussions on the forum and the actions of the major game guilds in the outside world.

In his mind, the biggest competitors for this mission were the 12 corporations and the Federation.

After getting the loyalty of District 9, Fang Heng immediately ran to the teleportation hall of the Elders Council with the resurrected zombie team to upgrade and modify the space-tearing device.

All the materials required for the upgrade were readily available in District 9. As for the high-energy evolution crystals, Fang Heng had them with him and could use them directly!

!!

Led by Victor, a group of zombie clones gathered in front of the space-tearing device and used wrench tools to assist in the maintenance operation.

In just two hours, a tier 2 space-tearing device was successfully modified in District 9.

After activating the teleportation gate, a space passage that glowed with blue light appeared in the hall.

The zombie clones carried the boxes that Sandy had packed in advance into the Zombie Apocalypse one by one.

As for the blood crystal in District 9, it would take some time to remove it.

After all, the vampires needed to clear out the prisoners in the dark prison of blood in advance.

Seeing that the matter in District 9 had come to an end, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei returned to their prison headquarters in the Zombie Apocalypse first.

"Your Majesty!"

Hayez had been waiting at the entrance of the prison's teleportation hall. When Fang Heng returned, he immediately went up to him, his eyes filled with excitement.

He didn't know how to describe it, but the King was simply too strong!

On this trip, two more Elders Councils from two other worlds had declared their allegiance!

The efficiency of unification was too amazing! It was to the extent that Hayez felt like he was in a dream.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. District 5 has just announced that they acknowledge you as the successor of the Vampire King. They have officially pledged their loyalty to us!"

"Huh?!"

District 5? Not District 9?

Fang Heng was stunned. For a moment, he even doubted if he had heard it wrong.

What was going on? District 5 had also pledged its allegiance?

Could something like this even happen?

When did it happen?

Hayez and the other vampires had high morale now.

In just over ten hours, a total of three worlds of the vampires had acknowledged Fang Heng's status as the King!

The game hint appeared on Fang Heng's retina again.

[Hint: Vampire Apocalypse District 5's Elders Council has pledged allegiance to you. Your influence among the vampires has increased by 30000 points.]

[Hint: The player's special state, vampire royal power glory has been upgraded to LV5 (remaining time: 84 hours 23 minutes).]

[Hint: The player has triggered a mission, control the vampires in District 5]

[Mission name: Control the vampires in District 5.]

[Mission description: Although the vampires of Vampire Apocalypse District Five have pledged their allegiance to you, there are still some who are in a wait-and-see state. In addition, there are many voices of opposition. Please use various methods to make these voices disappear.]

[Mission description: Increase control of District 5 to 90% (current 49%).]

[Possible rewards for completing the mission: Increased influence on the world of the vampires, and level increase for vampire royal power glory. (The shorter the time taken to complete the quest, the more generous the rewards will be.)]

[Mission penalty: While the mission exists, your vampire influence will continue to decrease.]

[Special note: Other players may compete with you in the process of this mission. Please be careful.]

Hayez suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded, "Your Majesty, while you were away, the blood crystal from District 8 has been transported here and fused with the original blood crystal. The capacity of the dark prison of blood has been greatly increased."

Fang Heng answered with a soft "hmm".

Originally, he had some thoughts about becoming the vampire Territory Lord.

However, he had never expected that things would progress so smoothly and that he would actually get the support of half of the region all of a sudden.

This mission seems easy…

Fang Heng calmed down and carefully recalled the entire operation after the mission was triggered.

To be able to reach this stage, there were both inevitability and coincidence.

It would not have been easy for him to achieve this if he had only relied on his own strength.

Therefore, he had to thank Jian Muzhi.

If it wasn't for Jian Muzhi's help in tricking the vampires into invading the real world, causing more than half of the vampire Princes to die or be injured, the other worlds of the vampires wouldn't have chosen to surrender so easily!

"Your Majesty, there are already three worlds of the vampires that have pledged their loyalty to us. Our strength has greatly increased. Should we attack the next world?"

Now that the morale of the vampires was high thanks to Fang Heng, Hayez wanted to strike while the iron was hot and unify the worlds of the vampires in one go so that the power of the vampires could be banded together like strands of rope!

After the great cause of the vampires' unification was completed, the vampires would be able to focus on researching the Vampire King's coffin and finding a way to break the curse in their bodies, thus restoring glory to the vampires!

Hayez seemed to be able to see a bright future.

"Okay, let's calm down first. I still need to think about my next target," Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a while.

The remaining five game districts weren't easy to deal with, and most of them had already been occupied by the Federation.

To be more precise, it was occupied by the twelve corporations.

If he wanted to make a move, it would be best to communicate with the Federation first.

In addition, he had caught the major player guilds and companies in the game off guard.

He also needed to pay attention to the reactions of the major gaming companies.

Fang Heng felt that their reactions could be roughly divided into three types.

The first type would think that they couldn't beat him and wanted to cooperate. The second type would feel that they couldn't accept it and wanted to fight with him. As for the third type, they couldn't care less about small fights in low-tier game worlds.

Apart from these player companies, the most important one was still the Federation.

If the Federation really wanted to intervene and send a group of elite teams to cause trouble for him like how they dealt with Jian Muzhi, he would have a headache.

He didn't want to have a direct battle with the Federation now.

As such, he had to probe the Federation first.

There was also the specific situation of the other Vampire Apocalypses.

In the real world, affected by the aura of death, the communication between Qiu Hai's temporary military camp and the outside world was extremely lagged. In fact, many urgent messages were transmitted through the game.

Half an hour ago, Qiu Hai was stunned for quite some time when he received the urgent news that Fang Heng had taken control of four worlds of the vampires in the game.

The power that Fang Heng could control in the game had already reached this level?

Was it just to obtain those so-called blood crystals that he had forcefully obtained the loyalty of three worlds of the vampires?

Was there a need to make such a big fuss?

Qiu Hai sat on a chair and looked at the top of the tent.

He unconsciously thought of the description of Fang Heng that he had seen in the unofficial records.

The other party was very good at causing trouble.

He had just reached an agreement with Fang Heng more than 10 hours ago to help him get two blood crystals.

And now Fang Heng went into the game to stir up trouble and get the remaining blood crystals himself?

No wonder he was in a hurry to return to the game…

"He's indeed very good at causing trouble…" Qiu Hai sighed in his heart.

Qiu Hai was also having a headache over how to solve the problem of the world of the vampires.

However, there was one thing that he could not understand.

The Western Federation had immediately sent an application to the Central Federation regarding the immediate handling of Fang Heng.

However, the official reply was that Fang Heng's actions were considered normal competition in the game and the others should compete with him in the game by normal means.

Was this even reasonable?

Could it be… Fang Heng had a backer?

969 Cooperation Agreement

"Thump, thump, thump," A Federation soldier knocked on the door and pushed it open, "Sir, Fang Heng is outside. He wants to see you."

Qiu Hai sat up straight and rubbed his aching temples. He nodded and said, "Alright, let him in."

"Officer Qiu, you seem to be very troubled?"

Upon leaving the game, Fang Heng came to see Qiu Hai.

He nodded to Qiu Hai after entering the room and sat opposite him.

Qiu Hai looked at Fang Heng and was speechless.

Wasn't it all because of him?

Qiu Hai sat up straight and asked, "Since you're in such a hurry to see me, is it about the blood crystals again?"

"Ah, yes, I ran into a little trouble," Fang Heng nodded and said, "The aura of the death realm is spreading very quickly, so we had to get the blood crystals as soon as possible to slow down the spread. I didn't expect to accidentally trigger a special mission. I feel that there might be some friction with the Federation in the follow-up of the mission, so I came to ask for the Federation's opinion."

Qiu Hai laughed bitterly in his heart.

He was really doing all this for the blood crystals.

Was it because there was someone behind him that his way of doing things had become unscrupulous?

"I've heard that you've triggered the mission to become the vampire Territory Lord. I want to know if the completion of the mission will have any impact on the worlds of the vampires that already have a World Lord?"

"I don't think so."

Fang Heng had checked the specific information of the mission upon receiving it.

After completing the mission, the world of the vampires without a World Lord would automatically be under his control, while those with a World Lord would not be affected at all.

As for whether he could control those worlds through the vampires later on, Fang Heng wasn't sure either.

"I see," Qiu Hai nodded, "Personally, I don't want the world of the vampires to fall into the hands of someone outside the Federation, since that would increase the risk."

"But…" Qiu Hai paused and changed his words, "The Eastern Federation doesn't have much control over the Vampire Apocalypse. We only have some influence over District 4, but we're far from being able to control it."

Fang Heng's thoughts moved.

He had thought that the Federation would stop him from controlling the world of the vampires at all costs. For this reason, he was even prepared to cooperate with the Eastern Federation and give up some benefits.

However, Qiu Hai's words seemed to be saying something else.

There was room for discussion?

"The Western Federation is the one that controls the Vampire Apocalypse zone. You should know better than me that the vampire's invasion this time is directly related to the Western Federation."

"Yes," Fang Heng nodded. Everyone knew that the Western Federation had already been infiltrated by the 12 corporations, "The 12 corporations, I've heard."

"I don't like to beat around the bush. Regarding the matters about the world of the vampires, I've just received the official authorization from the Eastern Federation to represent the Federation in the negotiation of cooperation."

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

He could see the Federation's attitude.

There was room for discussion!

Qiu Hai continued, "We want to know, how much are you willing to sacrifice for this mission? What can the Federation gain from this?"

Fang Heng spoke with fervor and assurance, "The mission is just one of the aspects. The other aspect is to obtain the blood crystals. With the blood crystals, I can use the magic array to dispel the aura of the death realm. This is also helping the Federation in a way, right?"

"That's not enough. We need a more formal promise. The Eastern Federation can authorize the Elders Council of District 4 to give you the greatest help and encourage them to pledge their loyalty to you. In exchange, you need to ensure that the aura of the death realm in the area around the Necromancer Association is less than 900 points," Qiu Hai laid out his conditions. He stared at Fang Heng and asked, "Can you do it?"

Fang Heng was shocked.

What a joke! Was he dreaming?

The Federation had voluntarily given up District 4?!

In fact, the Eastern Federation's control over the vampires' District 4 was not strong, to begin with, and it was even once excluded from the central power of the vampires' Elders Council in District 4.

However, by taking advantage of the vampire's invasion of the real world, the Eastern Federation had gained a lot of benefits. They had successfully eliminated their dissidents and found a way to cooperate with the Eastern Federation to kill a vampire Prince and a vampire Duke who had close relations with the 12 corporations.

According to the latest news, the world of the vampire's District 4's Elders Council was already discussing whether to pledge allegiance to Fang Heng.

In just 10 hours, the elders of three major worlds of the vampire had chosen to pledge allegiance to Fang Heng, making the man's influence in the worlds of the vampire increase greatly, causing the Elders Council of District 4 to hesitate.

They felt that Fang Heng must be somehow capable.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many vampires who would pledge their allegiance to him.

In addition, the strongest combat force in vampire District 4, the vampire Duke Sura, was inclined to pledge allegiance to Fang Heng.

The only one who firmly opposed this was District 4's World Lord, Johann.

It was a pity that when the 12 corporations first nurtured Johann, they only supported him as a puppet. As a result, Johann was not very powerful, and he did not have the ability to make the final decision in the Elders Council.

The Eastern Federation thus determined that it was highly likely that District 4 would pledge allegiance to Fang Heng.

The involvement of the Eastern Federation forces could speed up the process and help District 4 complete their allegiance as soon as possible.

In addition, Qiu Hai suspected that Fang Heng had someone from the Central Federation protecting him.

He didn't mind doing a favor that didn't cost him much, and he could also get some benefits from it.

Fang Heng didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in this. When he heard about Qiu Hai's condition, he was so ecstatic that he almost went crazy!

The Federation's offer was too favorable!

Controlling the aura of the death realm was not a problem for Fang Heng at all.

Worse come to worst, he would direct the aura of the death realm into a game's main region and that would be it!

Fang Heng put on an act and pretended to be in a difficult position. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Alright, deal."

Hearing Fang Heng's agreement, Qiu Hai heaved a sigh of relief.

After reaching an agreement, both parties felt that they had made a huge profit.

"What about the other worlds?" Fang Heng raised his head and asked.

Qiu Hai nodded, "As for the other game worlds of the vampires, the Eastern Federation can provide you with some information and help you negotiate with the Central Federation. Anything more than that is beyond our jurisdiction."

Fang Heng pursed his lips and asked in a deep voice, "What if I want to make a move on the other worlds?"

Qiu Hai stared at Fang Heng. He now had a clearer understanding of Fang Heng's character.

Greed was the guy's nature! He was indeed unwilling to give up!

"According to the Federation's public policy, the main responsibility of the Federation's participation in the game is to maintain the stability of the game world and will not participate in disputes between players. At the same time, all major game companies are welcome to participate in the competition and improve the overall levels of the games," Qiu Hai first spoke officially, then continued, "If you make a move, the Western Federation will definitely fight back. The only thing we, the Eastern Federation, can do for you is to protest and appeal to the Central Federation so that the matter will only be limited to the areas where the player and the Federation compete for territory and that the matter will not continue to expand. It's up to you whether you can get rid of the Western Federation. We can't interfere."

After getting Qiu Hai's promise, Fang Heng reevaluated the difficulty in his heart.

Was the Federation scary?

It was extremely terrifying!

Fang Heng was most afraid of a head-on war with the Federation, where the other party would play all kinds of dirty tricks.

For example, they could label him as an anti-Federation evil force and use the entire Federation's power to launch an all-out attack on him.

This kind of blow was not only on the game level but also on the real-world level.

It was extremely difficult to win!

Now that he had the Eastern Federation's promised protection, he could totally fight with the Western Federation's people.

Besides, there's still…

In just a few seconds, countless thoughts raced through Fang Heng's mind.

Report chapter Comments

"What are you thinking about?"

Fang Heng came back to his senses and looked at Qiu Hai, "I'm estimating the success rate. After all, it's not easy to fight the Western Federation head-on, and it seems like you guys don't want to help much."

"Fang Heng, protecting you is the limit of what we can do. In addition, we also need to propose a condition for the exchange. If you agree to this condition, we will help you."

"You guys really aren't lenient," Fang Heng smiled bitterly and said, "Alright, tell me about it. I don't think I have anything to give you now though, since I'm broke."

"No, there's something you can help me with."

"Hmm?"

"The Zombie Apocalypse's region level up," Qiu Hai said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he took out another file on the table and pushed it to Fang Heng, "Someone hopes that you can participate in the Zombie Apocalypse's level-up this time. He also hopes that you can do your best to ensure the completion of the level-up."

Region level up?

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

He immediately thought of the World Lord of Zombie Apocalypse's District 1, Wei Tao!

He was the Federation's chief commander in the Zombie Apocalypse world.

Back when Fang Heng had just obtained the identity of the World Lord of Zombie Apocalypse's District 8 and participated in the region meeting, Wei Tao had been trying to persuade everyone to level up the zombie realm.

However, due to being trapped in the fallen corridor in the real world and the matters in the Vampire Apocalypse, Fang Heng had been busy for a long time and did not have much contact with Wei Tao.

"Hmm…" Fang Heng thought of something and lowered his head to ponder.

He remembered that once the Zombie Apocalyptic world was successfully leveled up, it would be considered a mid-tier game world, right?

Could he use this method to avoid making a choice at the intermediate game stage?

He could give it a try!

It just so happened that the Federation had the same goal, so he could totally give it a try!

"Alright, I agree," Fang Heng raised his head and said.

"Very good, we will immediately arrange for the vampires in District 4 to pledge their allegiance to you. Due to the influence of the aura of the death realm, it will take more time for us to communicate with the outside world. It is estimated that it will be completed within a day. If there are any problems, we will communicate at any time."

"Yes, thank you. I'll go and deal with the magic array first. I'll try to reduce the concentration of the aura of the death realm as soon as possible."

A rare smile appeared on Qiu Hai's face, "I look forward to working with you."

After the negotiation, both parties felt that they had made a huge profit.

Qiu Hai felt that the Federation had only paid a small price to change the control of the world of the vampires from the hands of the dangerous twelve corporations to Fang Heng, who was more inclined to cooperate with the Federation.

At the same time, they could also solve the problem of the aura of the death realm leakage.

They even got Fang Heng to assist them in completing the next step of the Zombie Apocalypse's level-up.

He had heard a little about Wei Tao's plan. Leveling up the Zombie Apocalypse was only the first step.

However, he felt that the plan was too difficult.

It was not so easy to level up a game world. It would take a long time and one had to do it step by step.

In short, this cooperation with Fang Heng was simply profitable!

After leaving Qiu Hai's office, Fang Heng also felt that he had made a huge profit.

To begin with, dealing with the aura of the death realm in the real world wasn't difficult for him. As for the matter of leveling up the game world, he was also very interested. Even if the Federation didn't mention it, he would still find a way to participate.

Just nice! He was involved!

The next step was to deal with the vampires of the Western Federation.

It was time to have a chat with that person.

It was actually him?

Zhong Haoyang looked at Fang Heng, who had taken off his mask, and was stunned for a long time.

He had mixed feelings in his heart.

More than half of the Western Federation had already been secretly controlled by the twelve corporations.

However, there were still many in the Western Federation who felt ashamed of this situation and tried to fight back.

Zhong Haoyang and his boss were one of them.

Previously, in District 9, Zhong Haoyang had tried to stop the twelve corporations from getting the final loyal mission of District 9.

Fang Heng discovered this matter during his investigation mission back then. He had thus found Zhong Haoyang and achieved short-term cooperation with him.

After that, the two of them maintained some contact.

Zhong Haoyang never expected that after nearly a month, when he saw Fang Heng again, the latter had already taken control of more than half of the worlds of vampires, including District 9!

"Right, so that's the general situation. I think this is a good opportunity to attack the twelve corporations. I think we can cooperate, right?" Fang Heng explained the matter simply.

The Western Federation was undoubtedly the one who knew the most about the twelve corporations.

The mole tactic had always been very useful.

Fang Heng wanted to make use of Zhong Haoyang's power to inquire about the deployment of the Western Federation in various worlds of the vampires and find their weaknesses. It would be best if he could kill them in one blow.

Zhong Haoyang pondered carefully after hearing Fang Heng's words, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask my boss. If this matter is completed, although it will hurt the twelve corporations, it will also be a huge loss for the entire Western Federation."

"We can talk about it," Fang Heng expressed his sincerity for cooperation, "For example, I can help you get rid of the World Lord controlled by the twelve corporations? Support your people? Or you can also make some requests. It's mutually beneficial."

"Well, Fang Heng, I will convey your thoughts to the boss," Zhong Haoyang nodded but didn't agree to it. He felt that the conditions Fang Heng offered were not very implementable, and weren't very tempting either.

"I'll let you know immediately if there's any news."

Fang Heng shrugged his shoulders, "Alright, do it as soon as possible though. Your help isn't exactly crucial. If I can't wait, I might make a move first."

Zhong Haoyang frowned and nodded, "I'll give you an answer in three days."

"Yes, as soon as possible."

"Sigh…" After watching Zhong Haoyang leave, Mo Jiawei sighed, "It's a little difficult to deal with the twelve corporations. They have the vampire Princes with them, and each district under the control of the twelve corporations reinforces each other. It's very difficult to attack them by force. Moreover, we don't have any spies there. It's not so easy to attack Angetas directly. It's very risky."

"Yes, it's very difficult," Fang Heng nodded in agreement.

After the Holy Thorn was assembled, it entered a special state. It could not be put into the game bag nor travel through the teleportation passage.

Even with the Holy Thorn, the success they achieved in District 9 was difficult to replicate.

"Let's think of another way," Fang Heng patted Mo Jiawei's shoulder and said, "There will be a way."

"Dong, dong, dong…"

Hayez knocked on the door and walked in, the excitement on his face uncontrollable, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Under the call of Your Majesty, the Elders Council of District 4 have pledged their allegiance to us!"

[Hint: The vampire Elders Council of District 4 have pledged their allegiance to you. The player's influence among the vampires has increased by 40000.]

[Hint: The player's special state, vampire royal power glory has been upgraded to LV7 (remaining time: 105 hours 29 minutes).]

[Hint: The player has triggered a mission, control the vampires of District 4]

[Mission name: Control the vampires of District 4]

[Mission requirement: Increase control of District 4 to 90% (current 38.2%).]

[Possible rewards for completing the mission: Increased influence on the worlds of the vampires, and level increase in vampire royal power glory. (The shorter the time taken to complete the quest, the more generous the rewards will be.)]

[Mission penalty: While the mission exists, your vampire influence will continue to decrease.]

[Special note: Other players may compete with you in the process of this mission. Please be careful.]

971 Returning Again

"Again.."

Every time the Elders Council of a district pledged their allegiance, a similar mission would be issued. As long as the mission existed, it would continue to reduce his vampire influence.

During these two days, Fang Heng prepared to make a good plan and complete the control mission of the few worlds of the vampires that he had just occupied. He would also head to the real world to collect the aura of the death realm.

"Hayez, the worlds of the vampires that we've just occupied are still unstable. Let Duke Bellamy handle this matter as soon as possible. We need to stabilize the situation as soon as possible. We'll temporarily stop our attacks in the next two days."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Hearing this, Hayez nodded his head secretly and admired Fang Heng's decision.

Indeed, their journey had been too smooth, and even he had become a little arrogant.

The King was not blinded by the smooth-sailing situation in front of him. Instead, he chose to stabilize the occupied area before fighting.

This was the safest way.

"Your Majesty, the blood crystals collected from the various worlds have been fused. The dark prison of blood has expanded by about 52 times. The magic array has also been set up."

Fang Heng raised his head and his eyes were filled with excitement again, "Well done, Hayez. Let's prepare to set up the magic teleportation array."

The dark prison of blood, which had been expanded fifty-two times, was enough to contain a large amount of aura of the death realm.

The Federation must be impatient too, so it was time for him to go and collect the aura of the death realm first.

Also, there were some things that he had to deal with.

Two days later, in the fallen corridor of the Necromancer Association, five small federal teams with about 100 Federation soldiers formed several defensive lines to intercept the undead creatures that kept coming from the surroundings.

Special bullets poured out of the soldiers' muzzles, and the undead creatures that came from all directions fell one after another.

"Be careful! There is a high-intensity energy reaction on the right. A high-tier vengeful spirit may have appeared. Everyone, be on your guard!"

The newly developed undead detector in the captain's hand let out a piercing alarm.

"Back off! We'll deal with the high-tier vengeful spirit!"

Li Qingran brought the high-tier players of the Necromancer Association to the right and they used their Books of the Dead to trap the high-tier vengeful spirit.

Fang Heng stood at the back of the team and stretched out his hand to press on the specially-made magic stone slab.

With the infusion of his mental strength, the three magic arrays on the stone slab began to operate at the same time, forming three huge black vortexes in the air!

The aura of the death realm in the fallen corridor was madly sucked into the vortex!

The energy for the operation of the teleportation passage between the game and the real world was mainly provided by the world of the vampires on the other side. Fang Heng only needed to consume his mental strength to charge the magic array slab every once in a while.

As such, he was very relaxed. He could even find time to reach out his hand and wave in the directions where the people of the Federation were fighting. With that, a gray aura, which ordinary players couldn't detect with their naked eyes, was attracted by Fang Heng's palm. It quickly gushed into his palm and disappeared.

[Hint: The Shrine of Bones has absorbed pure soul energy. Current soul aura is (20192.2/40000).]

Six hours ago, Fang Heng entered the fallen corridor with the federal team.

In the beginning, his purpose was to retrieve the sealing stone pillars in the fallen cloister and bring the temporarily stored art pieces of the Holy Court back to the prison.

However, after entering the fallen corridor, he realized that the Shrine of Bones could also absorb the soul aura of the vengeful spirits killed by his teammates.

It was just that his previous teammates were all necromancy players, so they had all used the Book of the Dead to kill vengeful spirits, which directly absorbed the vengeful spirits and their soul aura.

Now that his teammates from the Federation were using special bullets and firearms, Fang Heng's speed of collecting soul aura soared!

Success!

Fang Heng's thoughts moved when he saw the game hint.

Now that the soul aura was half-filled, he could release the power of the Vampire King's Will once.

Finally, the Shrine of Bones was not just a decoration.

Keep it up!

Fang Heng was ready to take advantage of this opportunity to fill up the soul aura of the Shrine of Bones at once.

At that time, he would be able to continuously release offensive skills, which could also be considered a trump card.

The players didn't know what Fang Heng was thinking and tried their best to resist the attack of the undead creatures around them.

The magic array continued to operate for a few hours, and the concentration of the aura of the death realm in the surrounding area weakened slightly.

Li Shaoqiang led a group of players from the Necromancer Association and rushed over from the abandoned temporary camp area. He shouted at Fang Heng, "Fang Heng, we've finished the magic array!"

"Good! You've worked hard!" Fang Heng's eyes lit up, "Everyone, guard this place. I will go to the back to set up the magic array. I'll be back soon."

The captain of the federal team, Teng Shun, who was in charge of the safety of this trip, was worried. He frowned and said, "Fang Heng, are you going alone? Do you want us to follow you?"

In the past two days, the aura of the death realm that Fang Heng had purified by himself was more than ten times that of all the people here combined!

Now, the Federation had placed almost all their hopes on Fang Heng's team. They were relying on him to remove the aura of the death realm, which made them extremely nervous about his well-being.

In the beginning, Qiu Hai almost went crazy when he heard that Fang Heng wanted to go into the fallen corridor for a stroll.

Why head to that place if he had nothing to do?

Was that a fun place?

After hearing Fang Heng say that it was to further purify the aura of the death realm, Qiu Hai couldn't say anything. He immediately ordered a large number of Federation soldiers to follow Fang Heng into the fallen corridor to protect him, just in case something happened.

"No need! You guys guard the entrance, I'll be safe by myself," Fang Heng waved his hand.

He still had to open the passage between the game and the real world, so how could he let others follow him?

"Alright, then be careful!"

Leaving Li Shaoqiang and the others to guard the entrance, Fang Heng returned to the abandoned temporary camp behind the team alone.

He carried the Holy Light spear and disposed of several low-tier undead skeletons that had just been resurrected along the way. Then, he quickly arrived at the right side of the temporary camp.

The entire camp had been thoroughly cleaned up by Li Shaoqiang and his team two or three times.

The area on the right had even been cleared out into an open space.

Looking at the magic array that had just been set up in the open space, Fang Heng nodded his head slightly.

"It's not bad."

This was the first time Fang Heng had opened a super-sized space passage in the real world.

It could only be used in such a place filled with the aura of the death realm. Otherwise, opening such a huge space passage would cause intense space fluctuations and would easily attract the attention of the Federation.

After confirming that there was no problem with the magic array, Fang Heng pressed both hands on the magic array.

"Crack, crack, crack…"

After being injected with mental strength, the magic array started to work slowly.

The space above the magic array was filled with fine cracks.

"Bang!"

The space's bearing force reached its peak, and with a bang, it shattered, creating a huge hole!

The breach was three meters high!

The surrounding aura of the death realm seemed to have found an outlet as it madly drilled into the space!

In an instant, a huge black vortex was formed!

When the dimension vortex stabilized a little, a huge greenish-gray arm reached out from the dimension vortex.

Two fusion Tyrant forms walked out of the space passage with their backs bent and stood in front of Fang Heng.

Success!

Under Fang Heng's control, the two fusion Tyrant forms walked forward, grabbed the sealing stone pillars on the ground, and carried them on their shoulders. Then, they returned to the game world with swagger.

After making sure that no one was around, Fang Heng closed his eyes.

A magic array appeared beneath his feet, enveloping him.

After returning to the game world, lines of game hints immediately refreshed on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player's control of the vampires in District 6 has reached 97%. The player has completed the mission, control the vampires in District 6. The player has received an additional 10000 influence points reward. The player's special state, vampire royal power glory has been upgraded to LV8.]

[Hint: The player's control of the vampires in District 9 has reached 90%. The player has completed the mission, control the vampires in District 9. The player has received an additional 10000 influence points reward. The player's special status, vampire royal power glory has been raised to LV9.]

In the past two days, Fang Heng controlled the vampire magic array in the real world during the day and entered the game at night. He controlled the fusion Tyrant forms to enter the worlds of the vampire that had already pledged allegiance to him and exterminated the vampires who were still disobedient.

He simply cleared them out!

At present, his control of two worlds had been maxed out, and his control of the remaining two worlds was relatively low. It would probably take another two days to complete the mission.

The dark prison of blood was shrouded in a layer of black aura of the death realm. Hayez was concentrating on controlling the space-tearing magic array with the other vampires.

The black aura of the death realm that could be seen with the naked eye was constantly spewing out from the space passage!

Low-tier undead creatures had already begun to resurrect in the dark prison of blood.

Hayez had arranged for many high-tier vampires to guard the dark prison of blood. Once the undead creatures were resurrected and revealed themselves, the vampires would rush up and kill them.

A few fusion Tyrant forms walked back and forth through the passage, moving the sealing stone pillars and placing them beside the magic array.

Fang Heng didn't have any detection equipment with him. He made a rough estimation and felt that the concentration of the aura of the death realm inside the dark prison of blood might be around 500.

Due to the extremely high concentration of aura of the death realm in the fallen corridor, there was no need to do anything at the other end of the passage for a large amount of aura of the death realm to constantly pour in.

However, the density of the aura of the death realm in the outside world was too high. Even though the dark prison of blood had been expanded by more than 50 times, its capacity was still insufficient.

For the past two days, Fang Heng had been thinking about how to completely solve the trouble of the aura of the death realm in his free time.

The simplest way was to just place the aura of the death realm in District 6 and it would be over.

However, doing so would more or less bring some trouble to District 6.

More importantly, Fang Heng's heart ached for the aura of the death realm.

It was such a waste!

Once the aura spread out, it would take a thousand times more effort to absorb it back.

However… It was different now.

Fang Heng already had an idea. With a flip of his wrist, he took out the Shrine of Bones and injected his mental strength into it.

The Shrine of Bones emitted a faint glow under the activation of his mental strength and slowly floated in the air.

The surrounding aura of the death realm was slowly absorbed into the Shrine of Bones and was released after a few cycles.

When the aura was released, its color had already dimmed quite a bit.

The Shrine of Bones had an additional special ability. It could absorb the aura of the death realm and transform it into the aura of death.

The ratio was about 8000:1.

It was like an air purifier.

The fallen corridor of the Necromancer Association was built largely thanks to the ability of the Shrine of Bones.

The zombie clones that Fang Heng had prepared in advance took out the Books of the Dead in their hands one after another and began to absorb the pure aura of death through the Books of the Dead before guiding the aura into the sealing stone pillar.

Success! Industrial production!

Just as Fang Heng had expected, the aura of the death realm continuously poured into the dark prison of blood through the breach passage between reality and the game. Then, it was transformed into the pure aura of death through the Shrine of Bones.

In the end, the aura of death would be directed into the sealing stone pillars through the zombie clones for storage, forming a perfect cycle.

Not a single bit of waste!

"I didn't waste these two days," Fang Heng muttered to himself with excitement in his eyes when he saw the successful arrangement of the production line.

The final product of the conversion, the aura of death, was definitely a treasure!

They were temporarily useless, but once he successfully advanced his elementary necromancy, he would absorb all of them at once and max out his necromancy skills in a few hours!

Even if he couldn't use the aura of death, he could just store them in the sealing stone pillars and use them as bombs!

After the Shrine of Bones' conversion skill was activated, it could be left on the spot to slowly absorb and purify the aura of the death realm.

The only troublesome thing was that the Shrine of Bones had to be placed inside the dark prison of blood and couldn't be taken away. As such, if Fang Heng wanted to use the Shrine of Bones again in the future, he would have to come back and get it.

Considering that the current situation in District 6 was considered safe, even if there was danger, he could return in time. The risk of the Shrine of Bones being stolen was also almost negligible.

He would leave it like this for now!

The concentration of the aura of the death realm in the fallen corridor was already very high, and the Shrine of Bones' purification efficiency was not enough. He would have to give it some time to catch its breath after he got out.

After staying in the same place for more than ten minutes to make sure that there was no problem in the conversing and production of the aura of death, Fang Heng prepared to return to the real world.

Suddenly, a game hint came from the survival radio.

Fang Heng immediately opened the survival radio to check.

[Mo Jiawei: Old Fang, Zhong Haoyang is looking for you. He said that it's an urgent matter.]

[Fang Heng: Okay, ask him to wait for a while. I'll be there soon.]

It seemed like there was news from the Western Federation.

Fang Heng pondered in his heart. He left the Shrine of Bones in the dark prison of blood for the time being and returned to the real world on the spot.

In just two short days, the aura of the death realm in the entire sealed-off area of the Necromancer Association had been reduced by more than 300 points!

This was great news!

When Qiu Hai saw the reports from his subordinates, his heart that was hanging in mid-air finally relaxed a little. He finally had a good night's sleep.

However, after seeing Fang Heng, Qiu Hai became anxious again.

"You're saying you want to leave for a while?"

"Yes," Fang Heng nodded and said, "I'm going to the Western Federation. The schedule has been arranged. It'll probably be very fast. Three days at most."

Qiu Hai frowned when he heard the name of the Western Federation.

He felt that Fang Heng was too good at causing trouble and couldn't stop for a moment. The latter had just spent a lot of effort and went to the fallen corridor. Now that he finally awaited Fang Heng's safe return, he didn't expect the other party to want to head to the Western Federation again before his seat was even warm.

"Is it for the blood crystals?"

"I still can't hide it from you," Fang Heng admitted frankly and said, "The blood crystals are very important for purifying the aura of the death realm. I have some connections in the Western Federation. I have to make a trip there and see if I can get my hands on them."

973 Screwed

"Is there a need to go there personally?"

"Yes, it's very necessary."

Qiu Hai looked at Fang Heng and was silent for a moment.

The more Fang Heng played it down, the more uneasy he felt in his heart.

"Do you need us to send someone to protect you?"

"There's no need for that. I won't cause any big trouble. I'm just going to meet someone. Besides, it's not convenient for you to take action in the Western Federation, right?"

"Alright, I'll arrange for someone to take you there. I'll give you three days. Come back as soon as you're done. If you encounter any trouble in the Western region, contact me immediately. Don't force yourself."

"Alright," Fang Heng nodded and replied.

They took the fastest flight and traveled overnight. By the time the plane landed in a small town on the edge of the Western Federation, it was already the next morning.

After getting off the plane, Fang Heng looked around and fixed his eyes on a black business car beside the airport.

In the passenger seat of the business car, Zhong Haoyang took off his sunglasses and stuck his head out of the window, waving at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng walked forward.

"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry to make you come all the way here. It's an emergency, so we can only talk about it face to face."

"You're welcome. I'm very sincere in cooperating with you." Fang Heng nodded, got into the car, and said, "I hope that my visit this time is of value."

"Of course." Zhong Haoyang motioned for the chauffeur to start driving and said to Fang Heng, "The boss has decided that we will work together this time."

"He has suddenly thought it through?"

"Yes." Zhong Haoyang's face was solemn. "I won't hide it from you. The twelve corporations have made a move on Jian Muzhi."

Fang Heng was startled. "What? Are they having an internal conflict?"

The car drove into a tunnel ahead.

"This time, the vampire's invasion of the real world did not achieve the effect that the twelve corporations had expected. The Vampire King's coffin was lost, and two-thirds of the Vampire King's remains have fallen into the hands of the major forces in the real world. The remaining one-third of the remains have also been fused into Jian Muzhi's body. The twelve corporations are very dissatisfied with this. They feel that they're gradually losing control over Jian Muzhi."

Zhong Haoyang told Fang Heng about the information he had obtained from the Western Federation, "Under the pressure of the Central Federation, the twelve corporations are prepared to abandon Jian Muzhi and make him the scapegoat. However, before that, the twelve corporations still want the Vampire King's remains in his hands.

"Jian Muzhi…" Fang Heng muttered to himself and quickly thought about it.

He had met Jian Muzhi once, and judging from his aura, the latter's strength was no less than that of a vampire Prince!

There were also the Vampire King's remains.

The fusion Tyrant forms were already extremely strong physically, but even so, when they fused with a second part of the King's remains, they would explode because of their insufficient physical strength!

Yet Jian Muzhi could actually fuse three parts at the same time? How strong was his body?

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy for the twelve corporations to deal with Jian Muzhi, right?" Fang Heng raised his head and asked.

"Yes, we've considered this as well. However, the twelve corporations seem to be very confident. After all, we're only in the elementary game stage of the game, so there's a limit to the strength assessment of the players. If the Inspection Bureau were to go all out, in theory, Jian Muzhi would definitely not be able to withstand it." Zhong Haoyang already had a plan in mind, so he continued, "Other than this, there is another reason why the twelve corporations chose to deal with Jian Muzhi."

"Oh? What's that?"

Zhong Haoyang turned around and smiled bitterly. "It's you, Mr. Fang."

"Me?" Fang Heng pointed at the tip of his nose and revealed a puzzled look.

Very quickly, he understood. "You mean the Vampire Apocalypse?"

"Yes, the Vampire Apocalypse is the foundation of the Western Federation in the elementary games. A large part of its annual income comes from the Vampire Apocalypse game," Zhong Haoyang said. "Recently, you've caused too much trouble in the Vampire Apocalypse, so the Western Federation is on guard against you occupying the entire Vampire Apocalypse."

"All these years, Jian Muzhi has been controlling the Vampire Apocalypse, so the twelve corporations don't have much control over the few worlds of the vampires. Besides, the players of advanced games can't enter elementary games to help either." Zhong Haoyang shook his head and sighed.

He didn't know how the monstrous genius, Fang Heng, had developed so rapidly in the elementary game, so much so that the Western Federation found it very difficult to deal with him. The latter had even used some kind of method to convince the Central Federation to shelter him.

The Eastern Federation was also adding to the trouble and speaking up for Fang Heng.

"Jian Muzhi is seriously injured now. He's recuperating in the real world and can't take care of the game world for the time being. However, the vampires in the game world all follow Jian Muzhi's lead. If they don't deal with Jian Muzhi as soon as possible, the twelve corporations are worried that you will continue to occupy the game world."

Fang Heng's eyes brightened up and then he burst into laughter. "So you're saying that I've caused Jian Muzhi misery again?"

It wasn't just any simple misery. He had simply caused Jian Muzhi to be screwed.

Zhong Haoyang laughed bitterly in his heart and continued, "Fang Heng, this time, the twelve corporations are going all out. The probability of Jian Muzhi escaping is very small. After thinking about it, our boss has decided to cooperate with you. We have already communicated the conditions of cooperation in the game."

"Let's work together," Fang Zhouheng said. "You want a part of the Vampire King's remains, right?"

"Yes, the rumors about that world are highly credible. We also want to get a ticket."

"Deal." Fang Heng agreed without hesitation.

It was just a ticket. It was nothing.

The Vampire King's coffin was in his hands, so who else could be more confident than him in finding the entrance to the mysterious world?

Ultimately, if they couldn't find that world's entrance, it didn't matter how many tickets they had.

Fang Heng was very well aware that the most important thing at the moment was to complete the mission of becoming the vampire Territory Lord.

After getting a general understanding of what happened in the Western Federation these two days, Fang Heng continued to ask, "So where are we going now?"

"Southern Cross Island."

As the car passed through the tunnel, Zhong Haoyang squinted his eyes under the blinding light. "The twelve corporations have trusted Jian Muzhi a lot these years. They raised funds to build a resort on Southern Cross Island."

"In fact, the Western Federation secretly granted Jian Muzhi permission to set up a research base in the resort for research. Since Jian Muzhi was seriously injured last time, he has been hiding in the special research Institute to recuperate."

Fang Heng frowned. "The Federation has already taken action?"

"Yes, it's very strange. My boss immediately informed you as soon as the news that the twelve corporations wanted to make a move on Jian Muzhi was known. In theory, they should have discussed not making a move so soon. I didn't expect the Federation to make a sudden move at three o'clock in the morning. Perhaps the pressure they faced in the game was too great."

"They're blaming me?" Fang Heng shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said seriously, "What's the situation? If the Federation sends out all its forces, I'm afraid Jian Muzhi won't be able to hold on. We won't have gone for nothing, will we?"

974 The Fog

"On the contrary, the twelve corporations came up empty-handed."

"Why do you say so?" Fang Heng was puzzled.

"The Federation launched a surprise attack on Jian Muzhi's secret research island. After occupying the research institute, they discovered that he was missing. After that, we conducted a thorough inspection of the entire island. Only then did we find an underground cavern under the research institute. It's extremely large, and there were signs of partial transformation. We suspect that it's Jian Muzhi's secret research site."

"The Federation's early investigation team discovered a strange power fluctuation when they investigated the underground cave. In addition, the inside of the cave is affected by the blood mist, so the inspection team didn't dare to enter rashly either. As such, they retreated and waited for support before splitting into teams to explore the interior."

Zhong Haoyang looked at his watch, "The Federation's investigation team should have been officially investigating the underground space for more than five hours now."

"How long will it take us to get there?"

"An hour. The helicopter is right in front. We'll land on the island as soon as possible. Your identity is a consultant I invited and you know a lot about the world of the vampires. Try not to talk too much and arouse suspicion."

"Yes, sure."

Zhong Haoyang was a little nervous, but Fang Heng's eyes were filled with excitement.

So it was Jian Muzhi's base camp!

He might be able to find the results of Jian Muzhi's research on the vampires' curse and figure out how the other party had fused the Vampire King's remains into his body.

After the twelve corporations got rid of Jian Muzhi, should he take advantage of the vampires' internal chaos to invade the worlds of the vampires that belong to the Western region?

No matter how he thought about it, it was a huge gain!

The car quickly stopped by the side of the road.

Fang Heng and Zhong Haoyang boarded the helicopter and flew toward the island.

An hour later, the helicopter landed on a cliff at the edge of Southern Cross Island.

Fang Heng got off the helicopter, his clothes fluttering in the sea breeze.

Looking around, the entire island was not big. Large areas of undeveloped forest areas looked a little desolate.

Not far away, two teams of armed Federation soldiers occupied the island's port.

"On the surface, the island was privately bought by a rich man more than 30 years ago to be developed as a resort. The Federation has already detained and interrogated all suspicious people on the island," Zhong Haoyang explained in a low voice as he led Fang Heng toward the mountain wall in front.

At the entrance of the cave, two Federation soldiers saluted Zhong Haoyang and carefully checked his ID.

"Thank you, sir!" The two soldiers respectfully handed the documents back.

"Let's go into the cave," Zhong Haoyang led Fang Heng into the cave.

The interior of the cave was very large, but it was not deep. A large number of Federation soldiers gathered inside the cave to guard it closely.

"Is this Jian Muzhi's research institute?" Fang Heng found it strange and asked.

"No. We thought that Jian Muzhi was in the research institute, but we didn't expect to not find him. After a thorough search, we found a cave that led underground instead."

Zhong Haoyang led Fang Heng into the cave, "This is one of the entrances to the cave that was discovered not long ago. It also leads to the secret cave below."

In front of them, the team from the Federation had gathered.

An officer saluted Zhong Haoyang, "Wu Dongshun, Captain of team two, division three of the Federation's operations department!"

"Grade three investigator, Zhong Haoyang, has received orders from the higher-ups to enter the cave to assist in the investigation," Zhong Haoyang showed his ID to the soldier and asked, "What's the situation in the cave now?"

"Due to the effects of lifeblood, the internal communication device is very unstable. The inner region below the cave is extremely vast. We estimate that less than 50% of the area has been explored, and 27 unknown special caves have been discovered," As Wu Dongshun spoke, he took the tablet and communicator from a soldier at the side and handed them to Zhong Haoyang.

"The locations of the magic arrays and the explored areas have been marked on the tablet. Please be careful. A few teams deep into the cave have been attacked by a small number of vampires."

"Alright."

Fang Heng took advantage of the time when Zhong Haoyang was conversing with the soldier and walked forward, sizing up the pit that was guarded by the soldiers of the Federation.

The pit was about three meters high, and a ladder had been set up.

"Let's go," Zhong Haoyang kept the equipment and nodded at Fang Heng.

The two of them climbed down the ladder into the cave.

There were a few traces of man-made excavation in the cave, and the passage was relatively narrow, only able to accommodate three people walking side by side.

After only walking along the tunnel for about a hundred meters, several forks appeared in front of them.

Zhong Haoyang took out his tablet and compared the two's positions.

"We are now here."

After saying that, Zhong Haoyang stopped and turned to look at Fang Heng.

"Hey, don't look at me," Fang Heng spread his hands and said helplessly, "You brought me all the way here, shouldn't you have some sort of plan?"

"The twelve corporations' sudden attack on Jian Muzhi wasn't part of our plan. We couldn't have anticipated that we would discover a cave here."

Zhong Haoyang felt helpless as well, not knowing where to start.

"The boss said that since you have the ability to gain the allegiance of so many worlds of the vampires in such a short time, such a small problem is certainly not difficult for you."

"Heh, you're flattering me, right?" Fang Heng laughed and scolded. He scratched his hair and moved his head closer to observe the tablet, asking, "Is there still no news of Jian Muzhi?"

"Not yet. We found a lot of strange and special caverns in the caves, where we discovered special vampire incantations and magic arrays. We have already organized a team of experts to study them."

Fang Heng was quite curious about the vampire incantations, so he nodded and said, "Alright then, let's go take a look at the incantations."

"Aren't you going to find Jian Muzhi? What if the twelve corporations find him first?"

"Then I can only blame it on my bad luck," Fang Heng spread his hands.

His powerful move, Everlasting Moon, was still on cooldown. Either way, if he encountered Jian Muzhi now, he would most likely not be able to beat the latter.

Moreover, Fang Heng felt that the cave was simply screaming the word "strange".

It would be better to let the twelve corporations scout ahead.

"Alright," Zhong Haoyang nodded and enlarged the route map on his tablet, "Shall we go to the nearest one?"

"Yes."

The two of them slowly fumbled forward along the path pointed out on the tablet. Soon, their surroundings were shrouded by a thin layer of lifeblood.

Zhong Haoyang wrinkled his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable from the smell of blood.

Fang Heng, on the other hand, was in a good mood.

In such an environment, he felt as comfortable and carefree as a fish back in the water.

Was it the effect of blood affinity?

Fang Heng made a guess in his heart and moved his index finger slightly.

Zhong Haoyang didn't notice that a blood-colored vortex had formed between Fang Heng's fingers.

At the center of the vortex, a drop of scarlet blood condensed.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng flicked his finger lightly, and the blood bead condensed by his lifeblood suddenly hit the rock wall in front.

"Pu!"

The drop of blood created a deep pit in the rock wall, and gravel flew everywhere.

975 In-depth Investigation

"Who is it?" Zhong Haoyang turned around warily.

"It's fine. It's just a rock falling. You're too nervous. Relax," Fang Heng said with studied casualness. However, when he saw Zhong Haoyang's face, he suddenly sensed something and narrowed his eyes involuntarily. There was a strange look of inspection in his eyes.

"Uh…" Zhong Haoyang gulped and asked carefully, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Fang Heng realized that Zhong Haoyang's lifeblood circulation speed had increased a little under the surrounding mist.

They had been here for a few minutes. Was it because of the increased concentration of the blood mist?

Fang Heng's blood affinity had reached a very high level, so he was exceptionally sensitive to the speed of blood flow.

"Don't move, spread out your palms."

Zhong Haoyang was baffled, but he still followed Fang Heng's instructions and opened his palm.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng's finger quickly moved forward and made a small cut on Zhong Haoyang's thumb.

Zhong Haoyang frowned and subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back.

"Don't move!" Fang Heng immediately said.

"Eh?" Zhong Haoyang raised his eyebrows.

He was surprised to find that the blood that seeped out of his thumb quickly condensed into tiny droplets, which quickly melted into the air.

"This…"

"This cave is very unusual," Fang Heng nodded, "Take care of the wound. Try not to leave any external injuries during battles."

"Hey, then why are you still using me as an experiment?"

With a bitter face, Zhong Haoyang took out a quick-acting bandage from his backpack and put it on his thumb.

Following the route shown on the tablet, Fang Heng and Zhong Haoyang quickly arrived at the nearest cavern.

After being verified by two Federation members at the entrance of the cavern, Fang Heng and Zhong Haoyang stepped into the cavern together.

The cavern was spacious, and there were many members of the Federation's operations department guarding it.

More than a dozen players had gathered in a corner of the cave, and they were currently loudly arguing about something. Each and every one of them had faces flushed red with anger.

Fang Heng's thoughts moved.

Most of them were ordinary players, and their flushed faces were only the surface. The blood in their bodies flowed faster than the Federation soldiers who had their initial attributes enhanced. They were obviously all affected by the mist.

"Zhong Haoyang, what are you doing here?"

Turning around to look at the person who had come, Zhong Haoyang's heart skipped a beat, and he knew that things were not looking good.

He just had to bump into this guy.

Unfortunately, the other party was his superior. Zhong Haoyang suppressed his displeasure and stepped forward to salute the officer, "Sir!"

Yao Weihua was in charge of guarding several cavern areas and was also one of the representatives of the 12 corporations in the Western region. He had a faint knife scar on his forehead and was used to putting on a stern face, giving people a feeling that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Seeing Zhong Haoyang, Yao Weihua could not help but frown, "What are you doing here instead of staying in the game?"

"Sir, I know a friend in the game who knows a lot about vampires, so I brought him here to check the vampire's curse mark. I hope he can find something."

"A friend from District 9?" Yao Weihua looked at Fang Heng with disdain, "District 9 has just been opened. What does he know?"

Zhong Haoyang could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm sorry, Sir! I'll take him away now!"

Fang Heng was neither haughty nor humble, "It's true that District 9 has only been open for less than 10 years. But I have studied the ancient books of the vampire Elders Council. I may know some things that others don't."

"No one is asking you," Yao Weihua didn't take Fang Heng seriously at all. He waved his hand and said, "Take them out."

"Don't be in a hurry. Since he's here, why don't we let him try?"

Fang Heng looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young man sitting on a rock at the side. He was playing with a dagger in his hand as he said in a lazy tone, "We've waited for so long, but there's still nothing. Let him try."

The young man was surrounded by four other people, who were either standing or sitting, with different expressions. They were all clad in uniforms that looked different from the normal Federation members.

Fang Heng immediately made a judgment when he saw the group of five and the uniform they were wearing.

The Western Federation's Inspection Bureau team.

Yao Weihua had some reservations about the Inspection Bureau, so he looked at Fang Heng and said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance. I hope your ability matches your temper. Let him in."

Fang Heng slowly stepped into the cave guarded by the Federation.

More than a dozen researchers from the Federation had been studying here for a few hours and found some clues. They were arguing about something and stopped at the same time when they saw Fang Heng coming.

They had also heard the conversation outside.

An expert from outside?

This was clear distrust in them.

Therefore, the crowd didn't have a good impression of Fang Heng. They didn't say anything and were prepared to see how capable he was.

Fang Heng walked forward.

There was a carved stone statue on the rock wall. Due to the erosion of time, the stone statue was a little mottled and covered with moss.

From a few details, it could be barely determined that the stone statue was a vampire carving.

It knelt on the ground in a praying gesture.

The floor in front of the stone statue was drawn with dense lines.

It was a vampire incantation.

Through the combination of vampire incantation and secret engravings, a special vampire's ancient magic array was formed.

Fang Heng only knew a little about alchemy magic arrays.

"I hope the game hints can give me some information…" Fang Heng muttered in a low voice. He came to the stone statue and squatted to check the incantation on it carefully.

The magic array was ancient, at least a few hundred years old, and there were traces of it being repaired recently.

Fang Heng frowned.

The magic array was made up of a master array and two branch magic arrays.

Eh? He actually recognized it…

Fang Heng realized that he could remember every detail of the master magic array clearly.

This magic array was related to the Vampire King!

Fang Heng had been implanted with some memories when he first came into contact with the Vampire King's coffin.

Most of them were about the awakening ritual of the Vampire King's remains and the magic arrays on how to open a space passage.

The magic array before him was also one of the magic arrays in his memories.

"This magic array is…" Fang Heng muttered to himself.

Part of the knowledge and memory infused by the Vampire King's Will was missing. Fang Heng knew that the effect of this magic array was for nurturing something, but he didn't have the information of what that "something" was in his memory.

Other than that, there were two other small magic arrays set up beside the magic array.

The two small magic arrays were very new and must have been carved in recent years.

Fang Heng couldn't understand them at all.

The strange thing was, why would there be a magic array left behind by the Vampire King in this place?

Fang Heng was suspicious and reached out to touch the incantation.

All of a sudden, a line of game hints appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has discovered an ancient magic array (vampire's incantation) (repaired)]

[Hint: The player's special region side mission, Vampire King's behest, updated]

[Mission name: Vampire King's behest]

[Mission description: You have discovered the former habitat of the Vampire King. You may find a way to inherit the Vampire King's power here. Please try to continue exploring.]

[Mission requirements: ???]

976 The Passageway

Seeing the notification, Fang Heng's pupils contracted slightly and he made connections instantly.

The cave was actually the former dwelling place of the Vampire King?

There were rumors in the outside world that the Vampire King had escaped from the holy realm to a mysterious world. He then left the mysterious world and was chased all the way to this world.

After that, the Vampire King was sealed by the judges from the holy realm who were after his life.

Now that he learned that the Vampire King had once lived in this cave for some time, could it be that there were some hidden secrets in the cave?

Did Jian Muzhi discover something in the cave in advance? What was he trying to do with these incantations?

Fang Heng observed the magic array for a moment, then looked up at the top of the rock wall.

There were a few black holes on the rock wall.

The holes weren't big, probably enough for a child to climb.

Yao Weihua's tone was unfriendly. He walked behind Fang Heng and asked, "After looking for so long, did you find anything?"

Fang Heng turned around and met Yao Weihua's threatening gaze. He nodded and said, "The magic array here is very old. It was only recently repaired and activated. I guess the blood mist in the cave is related to the magic array."

Yao Weihua had heard similar statements many times, so he asked impatiently, "And then? That's all you have found out?"

"To be precise, these incantations are part of a large magic array. It is already in a semi-activated state. As for its effect, it is either used to nurture priests or used for some special rituals."

Yao Weihua looked suspicious, "You said it's already in operation?"

Fang Heng took a few steps forward and cleaned the moss on the stone statue, "Yes, this is the place where the blood is gathered."

"You mean this stone statue?" A Federation researcher couldn't help walking up to the stone statue and carefully observing it after hearing Fang Heng's words.

"Yes."

"But we've checked. The stone statue's material is special, but there are no incantations on it."

"Pour some blood on it and the incantation will appear. If you don't believe me, you can try."

"Really?" Another researcher from the Federation suddenly thought of something and said, "You're talking about the blood-drawing stone, right? I've heard of this kind of stone before…"

The other researchers also gathered around the stone statue, no longer looking down on Fang Heng. They began to study the stone statue, discussing it in low voices from time to time and expressing their opinions.

After listening to Fang Heng's explanation, Yao Weihua found that he didn't understand.

"So is this vampire incantation useful to us or not?" Yao Weihua muttered and looked back at the other researchers of the Federation, "What do you guys think? Is what he said right?"

The researchers from the Federation discussed in low voices.

Everyone present was an expert who had studied vampires for more than a decade. They had studied the stone statue for a long time, but they could not even crack 10% of the vampire's ancient magic array.

They didn't know whether Fang Heng was telling the truth or not.

Everything needed to be verified.

A middle-aged man walked out of the group of researchers. He first cupped his hands at Yao Weihua and then continued, "Sir, please give us a little more time."

As they spoke, the researchers continued their research around the stone.

Yao Weihua felt as if he had a toothache. He waved his hand and motioned for them to do it quickly.

Cottlet was the leader of the Federation's research team. After getting Fang Heng's hint, they followed his train of thought and went back to check the stone statue.

They found that Fang Heng was right!

This stone statue was really a blood-drawing stone, and it was very likely to be the trigger point of the magic array!

Fang Heng's discovery had given them great enlightenment!

The team members immediately had a breakthrough and stopped arguing. Instead, they gathered to discuss and analyze.

Zhong Haoyang walked to Fang Heng's side and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Fang, are there no problems with it?"

"What a coincidence. There's a big problem. This magic array is very strange."

Fang Heng had a vague feeling that the operation to capture Jian Muzhi might not be as easy as the Federation had expected.

"Sir."

After another 20 minutes or so, the leader of the research team, Cottlet, and the other researchers finally reached a consensus.

He walked up to Yao Weihua and said, "We think this is a comprehensive vampire magic array. It's very difficult to crack, but we can confirm that there is a special teleportation passage hidden in it. As long as the magic array is activated, the passage can be opened."

"Oh?" Yao Weihua was immediately interested and asked, "How can we open the teleportation passage?"

"It requires the power of blood. It can be opened by pouring the blood onto the stone statue."

That kid actually hit the nail on the head!

Yao Weihua's heart skipped a beat and he started to believe Fang Heng a little. He couldn't help but turn to look at the latter, "What do you think?"

Fang Heng shook his head, "I don't suggest opening the passage, but there's no harm in trying.

An expert researcher of the Federation pushed his glasses and looked at Fang Heng, saying, "Hello, I'm researcher Zhong Cheng. You just said that the master magic array's effect is nurturing. Since it's nurturing, there won't be any danger, right? "

Fang Heng shrugged.

In theory, that was the case. However, vampire magic arrays were not that kind. As long as one left a wound on one's body and left it alone, the magic array would continuously absorb the power of one's blood and just suck one dry!

Yao Weihua looked at Fang Heng. Seeing that the latter had fallen into silence, he immediately had an idea in his heart.

He waved his hand and beckoned for two Federation soldiers to come over.

"Let out your blood and activate the magic array."

"Yes! Sir!"

The two Federation soldiers immediately walked to the stone statue, stretched out their arms, and cut a wound on their arms.

"Drip, drip…"

Blood flowed out of the wound and dripped onto the stone statue.

"There's a situation!"

After it was doused with blood, a strange vampire incantation appeared on the stone statue!

The incantation gradually lit up.

The Federation researchers were overjoyed when they saw this and hurriedly said, "The amount of blood is not enough. We need more."

Yao Weihua waved again.

Immediately, more than a dozen Federation soldiers stepped forward, cut their wrists, and poured their blood on the stone statue.

The stone statue emitted a dark blood-red light.

Following this, the magic array on the ground gradually lit up, until the light filled the entire magic array.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a ray of red light shot out from the stone statue. The light hit the stone wall in front, and a dark red teleportation passage appeared.

The teleportation portal was trembling and did not look stable.

"The teleportation passage is still unstable. It needs blood supply to maintain it."

The second batch of soldiers immediately walked up and continued to cut their arms to replace the first batch of soldiers pouring blood on the stone statue.

With the addition of new blood, the teleportation passage's gate gradually stabilized.

"Good! Beautifully done!" Yao Weihua looked at the researchers and gave them an appreciative look. He then turned his head and said, "Inform the other teams and tell them how to activate the teleportation gate. Get ready for battle!"

"Yes!"

977 An Acquaintance

Seeing the teleportation gate open, the members of the Federation's investigation team who had been sitting on the edge of rocks to rest all stood up.

Pan Wuzhi, the leader of the inspection team, put away his lazy look and stretched, "It seems that it's our turn to perform."

Yao Weihua and Pan Wuzhi had a brief discussion, and the inspection team stepped into the teleportation passage to explore the way first.

Soon, the two Federation soldiers who had followed the inspection team into the teleportation gate returned quickly, "Sir, there's another cave on the other side of the teleportation gate, but the lifeblood concentration in that cave is much higher than here."

Yao Weihua waved his hand, "Team one and team two, follow me. We'll go in and investigate. The rest of you, stay outside and wait for orders."

"Yes!"

Seeing that the crowd was leaving quickly, Zhong Haoyang signaled to Fang Heng with his eyes, asking if they should follow them to the other end of the passage to take a look.

Fang Heng touched his chin and stretched out his hand, "Let me take a look at the map on the tablet."

Zhong Haoyang passed the tablet to Fang Heng.

While checking the tablet, Fang Heng said in a low voice, "The teleportation passage doesn't consume much energy. Most of the blood's power is absorbed by the magic array, and only a small portion is used for the energy consumption of the teleportation."

"Hmm?" Zhong Haoyang didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"

"First of all, the low energy consumption means that the teleportation distance won't be very far. The other end of the teleportation passage should be nearby, but most of the surrounding areas on the Federation's map have been explored, so I think the exit is probably in the area below us."

"I see."

"Second, look over there."

Zhong Haoyang looked in the direction that Fang Heng was pointing. Hundreds of Federation soldiers were gathered in front of the teleportation magic array, lining up to transfer blood to the stone statue in turns to keep the teleportation passage open.

"The magic array is huge, and the teleportation gate is only a small part of it. Most of the blood is absorbed and converted by the magic array. This energy is probably used in other places. It's very suspicious."

"Oh… then we…" Zhong Haoyang was observing the magic array and was about to say something when two players from the players' department of the Federation operations department rushed back from the one-way passage.

"The teleportation passage area has been attacked by the vampire. Teams 5 and 6, come in to reinforce! The rest of the teams, stand by!"

Vampires?

"Let's go and take a look," Fang Heng said immediately.

With that, the two of them immediately entered the teleportation passage as well.

At the other end of the teleportation passage, many high-tier vampires were fighting with the federal team.

The Federation had set up searchlights at the exit of the teleportation passage.

However, in the blood mist, visibility in the dark cave was still poor.

The members of the Federation's operations department used the protruding rocks as cover and used firearms to attack the vampires in the blood mist.

The inspection team's elite team rushed into the vampires and began a bloody massacre.

Fang Heng didn't join the battle. Instead, he hid behind a huge rock with Zhong Haoyang and watched.

Pan Wuzhi's team was not weak, and they were more than enough to deal with these ordinary high-tier vampires.

"They don't seem like much…" Fang Heng said in a low voice, "The Federation's investigation team is only at this level? Wouldn't it be a little difficult to deal with Jian Muzhi then? The inspection team I met in the North District last time was much stronger than them. They could even fight the Prince to a standstill."

Speechless, Zhong Haoyang explained, "Mr. Fang, it's not like that. The strength of each Federation division is indeed different, but Pan Wuzhi and his team are C-level combat teams. The one you saw in the Eastern Federation that could defeat the Prince was probably an A-level combat team. This time, eight A-level combat teams and one quasi-S-level combat team have come too, but we didn't run into them."

It was the first time Fang Heng was hearing this.

So it turned out the inspection team's squads were divided into different levels.

"A quasi-S-level? Why didn't the Federation just get an S-level team over? Wouldn't that be more stable?"

"It's not that easy. The information on the members of S-level teams is top secret to the outside world. They will only be allowed to act after being authorized by the Central Federation. Moreover, many of them are not directly trained by the Federation, so it's very difficult to mobilize them."

"I get it. You have to pay, right?"

Fang Heng pursed his lips, thinking that he could also act as a hatchet man of the Federation Inspection Bureau. He might even get some benefits from it.

"Is it very profitable to join an Inspection Bureau like yours?"

"Huh?" Zhong Haoyang was a little confused by Fang Heng's question.

Fang Heng was already so powerful, but he didn't even know the basic policies of the Federation?

"The Inspection Bureau's teams are divided into direct teams and supernumerary teams. The direct teams have a quota for external recruitment every year, but supernumerary teams don't have any, so the review application is much more relaxed,"

Zhong Haoyang explained, "In fact, the Federation has always had a hard time in advanced games. The Federation hopes to use the power of the players to deal with various anti-Federation forces. As long as you register and join the Federation Inspection Bureau team, you can get a certain amount of allowance every month even if you don't do any work."

"Wait, Mr. Fang, all this information should've been given to you after you completed the Federation registration, right?" Zhong Haoyang thought of something while he was talking. He turned around and looked at Fang Heng, "Hey, it can't be you…"

Fang Heng said righteously, "I'm sorry, I didn't register."

"No wonder."

"From what you've said, it's quite easy to join the inspection team?"

Easy?

Zhong Haoyang felt like he had just heard the funniest joke in the world.

It was not simple at all!

"You're the only one who would say it's easy. The inspection team only recruits players who have officially filed their records. Not only do they check their background, but their bottom line is that the player must at least be able to unlock the first stage of the "lock". The bottom-level teams like F-level teams have more relaxed conditions. Starting from D-level teams, the players are required to unlock the second stage of the "lock". The difficulty of promotion will increase subsequently, and the background checks will also become more and more stringent."

Fang Heng nodded and continued to look at Pan Wuzhi and the others.

The Federation's C-level team could easily deal with the high-tier vampires, and the vampires were a little overwhelmed.

"Eh?" Fang Heng's mind suddenly sensed something.

Not far away, a group of vampires was approaching the Federation's inspection team at full speed.

"Hahahaha! Stupid humans! As expected, they're here to die!" Among the vampires, a vampire Marquis in the lead was laughing arrogantly, "Everything is within Mr. Jian's expectations. In that case, die here!"

It was him?! The vampire Marquis Maica!

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched.

It seemed that Maica had escaped with Jian Muzhi after they separated in the real world.

Maica didn't notice Fang Heng. He laughed arrogantly and joined the battle, leading the vampires to attack the Federation.

"Ha, you're sharp-tongued," Pan Wuzhi immediately led his team members to fight.

Fang Heng's brows were knitted tightly.

The lifeblood in the surroundings increased Maica's strength by a large degree, but he still couldn't defeat the combined attack of the five people from the Federation investigation team.

978 Hold Out

Although Pan Wuzhi looked like a carefree person, his team-leading and style of combat were actually very stable. He had always held back his strength to suppress the vampires throughout the whole process. With this, while ensuring his own safety, he could also be on guard against the nearby vampires' reinforcements that might arrive at any time.

Maica soon fell into a disadvantageous position, but he gritted his teeth and held on.

That was strange. Wasn't Maica always afraid of death? what happened today?

He must've realized that he couldn't deal with the Federation's investigations teams himself, so why didn't he run?

!!

"It's most likely a trap."

While Fang Heng was pondering, Maica suddenly fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

A young lady in purple from the Federation's investigation team with a light sword in her hand took advantage of Maica's carelessness to quickly move behind the latter, leaving two long and narrow wounds on his back.

Maica cried out in pain and fell to the right.

Pan Wuzhi, the team leader of the Federation team, seized the opportunity to occupy a position in advance. He stared at Maica, who was staggering toward him, and the long knife in his hand reflected a cold light.

Shit!

Maica's expression turned ugly.

Fang Heng, who was watching from behind the rock below, was also shocked.

Not good! He still had many things he wanted to ask Maica, he couldn't let him die like this!

With that, Fang Heng raised his hand in the direction of Pan Wuzhi.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Just as Pan Wuzhi was about to give Maica a fatal blow, he suddenly noticed that the blood mist around him was fluctuating violently, and many lifeblood vortexes were forming.

"Chi, chi, chi!"

More than a dozen sharp spikes burst out from the vortexes, stabbing at him from all directions!

Pan Wuzhi was shocked.

He could feel that every single one of the spikes contained extremely powerful lifeblood power.

Who was ambushing him from the dark?

Pan Wuzhi had always been a steady man. When he realized that a powerful enemy was hiding in the dark, he immediately gave up the chance to give Maica a fatal blow and retreated.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Dozens of sharp spikes hit the air in front of Pan Wuzhi, and the lifeblood exploded!

His vision was blocked by the lifeblood explosion.

When Pan Wuzhi wanted to chase Maica again, he found that the latter was already far away.

Who was it?

Pan Wuzhi looked around alertly, trying to find the attacker.

Compared to Maica, Pan Wuzhi was more worried about the mysterious man who attacked him from the dark.

It was too strange!

The other party's attack did not reveal the slightest trace. His perception had not been triggered, so there was no way to detect the other party either.

Seeing Maica escape successfully, Fang Heng immediately hid behind the rock again to avoid being discovered.

At this time, Yao Weihua, the commander of the federal team, had an abrupt change in expression. He shouted, "Pan Wuzhi, the teleportation gate has been attacked by the vampires! They're just stalling for time!"

As they spoke, the blood-red door behind them became unstable.

"Hahahaha! Have you discovered it? Stupid humans! Mr. Jian really predicted it! You can all die here!" Maica was injured and was already hiding behind the vampires, but he didn't forget to mock and ridicule the Federation team. He threw two not-very-useful blood bombs at the Federation team from a distance.

In the group, a woman in white asked with a gloomy expression, "Leader, what should we do? Should we give chase?"

"No, there's someone helping him in the dark. Something's not right here. Let's retreat first, so we don't get trapped here," Pan Wuzhi immediately made a judgment and made a gesture to the rear to prepare to retreat.

Yao Weihua did not hesitate and immediately shouted, "Teams seven and eight, stay behind to provide cover. Teams one to six, retreat in order!

"Yes, sir!"

Before the teleportation gate disappeared completely, the players immediately retreated in an orderly manner.

The vampires tried to launch several attacks, but they were all blocked by Pan Wuzhi's inspection team.

When the Federation returned to the cave through the teleportation gate, only then did everyone realize that the cave had been severely damaged.

The vampires had transformed into bats and invaded through a few small holes in the rock wall, attacking the Federation soldiers in the cave.

Thus, another battle began.

It took more than five minutes for the Federation to clean up all the vampires in the cave.

Looking at the seriously injured team, Yao Weihua said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The vice-captain who had stayed behind to stand guard was still in shock as he explained, "A while after you entered the teleportation passage, we were attacked by high-tier vampires. They probably wanted to kill us all. Fortunately, the long-distance communication didn't fail."

Everyone was silent for a moment, realizing the danger just now.

Those despicable vampires!

If they had not been lucky enough to rush back to help, they might have been trapped on the other side of the teleportation passage!

Yao Weihua clenched his fists, "The follow-up team will be here soon. We'll wait for reinforcements."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Pan Wuzhi seemed to be looking for something, a member of the inspection team couldn't help but ask, "Leader, what's wrong? What are you looking for?"

"Where's the expert who found the stone statue's secret? Why is he gone?"

Eh?

Hearing this, everyone started to look around.

That's strange, Fang Heng and Zhong Haoyang weren't in the crowd.

Yao Weihua frowned, "It seems that they're trapped on the other side of the teleportation passage. It's too risky to go there now. The rescue team will be here soon. We'll decide what to do after they arrive.

On the other side of the teleportation passage, Fang Heng and Zhong Haoyang were still hiding behind a rock.

When the people from the Federation were in chaos, Zhong Haoyang wanted to help, but Fang Heng was quick to react and held him back.

At this moment, Zhong Haoyang peeked his head out carefully from behind the rock. After observing the outside for a moment, he retracted his neck and asked, "Mr. Fang, isn't it dangerous for us to stay here alone?"

"It's fine. It's not a big problem. I'm very familiar with vampires. I might be able to persuade them to surrender."

"Huh?" Zhong Haoyang's face was bitter.

This area was extremely dangerous, and they couldn't even find Jian Muzhi, but Mr. Fang was still in the mood to joke.

"Mr. Fang, let's not joke at this time, okay?"

Fang Heng walked out from behind the rock. His blood-red eyes pierced through the fog in front of him and he released his vampire aura.

"Let's go," Fang Heng took the lead and walked forward along the passage.

Zhong Haoyang gritted his teeth. Thinking that Fang Heng must have some kind of trump card up his sleeve, he mustered up his courage and followed after the other party.

They had just taken a few steps forward when two high-tier vampires in bat form flew over and returned to their human forms. They stopped in front of Fang Heng.

The two vampires did not attack immediately.

They found it strange when they sensed the strong vampire aura on Fang Heng's body.

"Who are you?"

"I'm looking for Marquis Maica. Tell him that I'm Nate and I have something to talk to him about," As he said that, Fang Heng stretched out his finger and pointed forward.

"Chi, chi, chi…"

At the spot where he pointed, the blood mist condensed into a vortex.

Seeing this, the two high-tier vampires' expressions turned serious at the same time, "Yes!"

Report chapter Comments

"Let's continue," Fang Heng nodded to Zhong Haoyang, and the two of them continued walking.

Soon, Maica, who was severely injured, walked toward the two with heavy steps.

"Nate?" Maica's eyes were full of surprise when he saw Fang Heng.

"It's really you?!" Then, Maica frowned.

He didn't approach Fang Heng. Instead, he stopped immediately and kept a distance from Fang Heng with a touch of vigilance in his eyes.

Zhong Haoyang frowned, finding it strange.

Why did this vampire Marquis seem to be afraid of Fang Heng?

Zhong Haoyang had investigated Fang Heng's background and found out that he was a player who had just unlocked the tier 1 lock.

In Zhong Haoyang's eyes, Fang Heng was terrifyingly strong in the game, but his strength was still limited in real life.

Seeing Maica's alert look, Fang Heng had already guessed what was going on. He shrugged and said with studied casualness, "What's wrong? Did Jian Muzhi say something to you?"

Maica looked at Fang Heng carefully, "You're not Nate, are you?"

"Indeed," Fang Heng spread out his hands, "I'm from District 6. Fang Heng is my real name. These are not important. I'm the heir to the Vampire King. Maica, we are all fighting for the future and glory of the vampires…"

Maica stared at Fang Heng. After separating from the latter, he had gotten the "truth" from Jian Muzhi.

Fang Heng was a liar!

He had scammed away the corpse that originally belonged to the Vampire King and destroyed the Vampire King's coffin!

He was a spy sent by the Federation to completely control and destroy the vampire!

To prove this point, Jian Muzhi had shown a lot of evidence, including many of the "dirty things" that Fang Heng had done in Districts 6 and 9.

Maica stared at Fang Heng, "No, Jian Muzhi said you are not."

Fang Heng's expression was calm. He spread his hands and said, "Whatever. I guess Jian Muzhi said that he was the only one who inherited the Vampire King's Will, right? To be honest, none of this is important. What's important is you. What do you think? Do you believe him or me?"

Maica's expression changed.

"I'll give you some time to think about it."

Maica thought for a moment and couldn't help but curse, "F*ck!

Maica gritted his teeth and cursed, "Think my ass! Both of you claim to be the successors of the King, and both of you wish to kill each other. Who the f*ck should I believe? I don't know a fart!"

Seeing this, Fang Heng wanted to laugh in his heart.

It was all Jian Muzhi's fault. Now, all the vampires were stupid.

Maica vented for a while and thought of something. He stared at Fang Heng and asked, "You came with those humans? So, you're with them?"

"Wrong answer. If I had attacked you just now, would you still be alive?" Fang Heng pointed at Maica as he spoke.

"Whoosh!"

A lifeblood vortex appeared in the air, and a long, thin blood spike shot out from the vortex, stabbing Maica!

The blood spike grazed Maica's face and hit the rock wall behind him.

"Boom!"

A hole was blasted open in the wall by the blood spike.

The f*ck?

Zhong Haoyang turned his head to look at Fang Heng and was shocked.

The ability to use skills in the real world?

This was already in the dangerous category.

Fang Heng…

Damn it! When did the intelligence of the Federation become so outdated? Why didn't they even have such important information?!

"Dark blood spike? Were you the one who helped me just now?" Maica immediately reacted and frowned, "No, you said you're the King's successor, but how can you prove it?"

"You still need proof? Didn't you see it with your own eyes last time? Other than me, who else can control the power of the Vampire King's Will?"

Maica opened his mouth, but he found himself speechless.

However, he still had doubts in his heart.

Fang Heng suggested, "Why don't you go back to the world of the vampires with me? The Elders Council has already begun to study the coffin left behind by the Vampire King. Optimistically, we will soon find a way to break the vampire curse."

Removing the curse was Maica's weakness.

Maica was stunned and asked three questions in excitement, "Wait, the King's coffin is in your hands? It was not destroyed? Is everything you said true?"

"Huh? Who told you that the coffin was destroyed?"

As soon as Fang Heng asked that, he immediately understood.

Jian Muzhi must have known what the Vampire King's coffin meant to the vampires.

Once the vampires knew that he had obtained the Vampire King's coffin, there was a high probability that Jian Muzhi would not be able to control and command the vampires.

Hence, the other party lied to the vampires and said that he was the one who destroyed the Vampire King's coffin.

"Alright, I know. Jian Muzhi told you, right?" Fang Heng spread his hands and took a few steps closer to Maica, continuing, "You trust Jian Muzhi so much. What proof does he have that he is the King? Or did he give you some benefits? Jian Muzhi had also obtained many parts of the Vampire King's remains, right? I don't see him doing anything, and the curse on your bodies hasn't decreased either, right?"

Maica's expression was uncertain.

Fang Heng's every word had struck a chord in his heart.

Jian Muzhi was riddled with flaws!

"What did Jian Muzhi tell you?"

"He said that you're a spy working for the Federation. He said that you wanted to divide the vampires from within and control us completely. He also said that you destroyed the Vampire King's coffin," Maica frowned, "We've found out that you've indeed hidden your identity, so we're very suspicious of you. All the information we've gathered shows that you have a close relationship with the Federation."

"If we're talking about close ties, Jian Muzhi is also close to the Federation, right?" Fang Heng sneered, "The King's coffin is already in my hands. I can take you to see it with your own eyes and expose Jian Muzhi's lies. Jian Muzhi, on the other hand, seized the power of the Vampire King's remains. I don't know what he's doing. To think he even tricked you to work for him."

Maica really didn't know who to believe now. He felt that both Fang Heng and Jian Muzhi were suspicious and could be trusted. However, his IQ wasn't high enough, so he couldn't tell.

From the bottom of his heart, Maica was more inclined to believe in Fang Heng, but he was very wary of being deceived again and didn't dare to make a decision.

Maica's mind was in a mess, he felt like the whole world was lying to him.

"Now that we can't return to the world of the vampires and can't see the Vampire King's coffin, you can say whatever you want. I can't tell the difference anyway!"

Fang Heng frowned and thought of the key point for a moment.

That's right!

Fang Heng lowered his head and started to make plans in his heart.

To open the passage between the game and the real world, magic arrays had to be activated both inside and outside the game.

Now, Jian Muzhi's base camp in District 1 had been wiped out by the Central Federation and was completely unusable.

This meant that the large number of vampires that had invaded the real world some time ago had no way of returning!

Even Jian Muzhi had no way to send them back!

980 Bring Away

Fang Heng couldn't help but get excited. He lowered his head and began to consider the feasibility of building a vampire magic array to open a world teleportation passage here.

However, it would take time to set up the magic array, and he was still lacking some of the construction materials, plus they had to avoid the Federation's attention…

It was very difficult!

That being said, once the setup was complete, Maica's suspicions would be completely dispelled, and he would be tricked into working for him!

!!

All this was not just for Maica.

Maica alone wasn't worth Fang Heng's extra effort.

Fang Heng remembered very clearly that there were many vampire Dukes and vampire Princes who followed Jian Muzhi here.

If his judgment was correct, some of these powerful vampires were still in the cave!

Never mind tricking them all, as long as one or two of them could be deceived, it would be a great profit!

He could just bring all the vampires away in one wave!

Was it important to kill Jian Muzhi? Compared to the vampire Dukes and vampire Princes, Jian Muzhi was nothing!

Fang Heng's eyes were red with fervor. He quickly thought about all the pros and cons and risks.

It was feasible!

He would do it!

Even if he encountered any trouble, he could just push all the blame on Jian Muzhi!

Who cares! Anyone who could hold back greed and resist temptation was just a bastard!

Fang Heng abruptly raised his head and looked at Maica, "Who told you we can't go back to the world of the vampires?"

"What?" Maica was stunned again.

Fang Heng looked at the high-tier vampires around and said, "It's easy to verify Jian Muzhi's lies. I can reopen the passage to the world of the vampires and take you back to the world of the vampires to see the Vampire King's coffin with your own eyes."

Maica was shocked, "You're not lying to me, right? You can open a world passage?"

"Of course, but I'll need your help. I need to set up a magic array. It's too time-consuming for me to do it alone. It's not difficult, right?"

"This…"

It was not difficult! It was simply too simple!

Maica was overjoyed.

During this period, he had thought of returning to the world of the vampires countless times!

But he couldn't do it!

Staying in this world without Angetas, their strength was gradually decreasing.

The ordinary vampires were still fine, but the Princes and Dukes suffered from the side effects more. Their strength was rapidly declining.

Even Jian Muzhi couldn't help them return to the world of the vampires, yet Fang Heng actually had the ability to do it?

Therefore, Fang Heng was the true successor of the king?

Maica felt like he had found another piece of evidence.

"Set up a large-scale magic array here? Isn't that a waste?"

"It's not a waste. With your help, we vampires will have a future," Fang Heng smiled gently, but he couldn't help but want to burst into laughter in his heart.

Marquis Maica? Deceive him!

He would expend a lot of effort on this not-so-important figure so that the other vampires would see his sincerity!

After Maica was tricked, the other Dukes and Princes in the real world would also be tricked!

When that time came, with the help of the Princes, he could directly unify all the worlds of the vampires!

The script was already written! The future seemed within reach!

Wasn't this just reducing the difficulty of the game for him?!

He had really made a fortune by following Zhong Haoyang to investigate this matter!

Fang Heng's heart was burning, and he stared at Maica with burning eyes.

Maica felt Fang Heng's burning gaze. For a moment, he felt that the latter's words were extremely sincere. He even had the impulse to die for this person who seemed to know him very well…

"This…"

No, no, wait. Maica had been tricked by Jian Muzhi and Fang Heng back and forth during this period, so he was simply not confident to make a decision anymore. He clenched his jaw and forced himself to wake up. He didn't make a judgment right away.

"We lack the materials to set up the magic array. You know that we can't complete the magic array without the materials."

"No problem, I'll go get it from the Federation."

"Ah? The Federation will give it to you once you ask?" Maica opened his mouth and looked at Fang Heng suspiciously, "But you said that you have nothing to do with the people of the Federation, right?"

"Ahem," Zhong Haoyang, who had been listening to their conversation, coughed lightly and said, "What Mr. Fang means is he'll try to, umm… swindle some from the people of the Federation."

Hearing the word "swindle", Maica seemed to be triggered. He shivered and his face turned even uglier. He stared at Fang Heng and asked, "Swindle?!"

"Don't listen to him. It's "borrow". We, vampires, are all trustworthy. We don't lie," Fang Heng rephrased, looked around, and continued, "You shouldn't be the only vampire here. It's not difficult to find others to help set up a teleportation passage. After we're done, we'll return to the world of the vampires together.

Hearing Fang Heng's firm words, Maica's trust in him increased.

"Alright… I'll gather some people and find a place to set up the magic array…" Maica was about to go look for vampires to help when he suddenly seemed to have discovered something and frowned, "Fang Heng, let's talk about the magic array later. I have to go first."

"What?"

"Prince Aiur is in trouble. I'm going to help him," Maica said as he showed the blinking red crystal in his hand.

The cold-blooded crystal was a tool for the vampires to communicate in the cave. Once it started blinking with light, it meant that a vampire had encountered an emergency and needed the nearby vampires' support.

A prince!

As expected, the vampire Princes were also in the cave!

Fang Heng knew that his guess was right, so he nodded immediately and said, "It's dangerous for you to go alone. I'll go with you."

Maica's trust in Fang Heng had increased significantly after the previous round of duping.

He was seriously injured now and couldn't help much even if he went anyway. With Fang Heng's help, he would be more confident.

"Alright!"

Fang Heng took out a pen and paper from his backpack and quickly wrote down a few names of the materials and their required quantity for the magic array. He turned to Zhong Haoyang and said, "We'll split up. You go back and think of a way to help me collect these materials."

Zhong Haoyang took the note and glanced at it.

The materials written on the paper were not very rare, and most of them were used for setting up magic arrays. It was not difficult to find an excuse to mobilize resources from the outside.

Although the development of the current situation was a little out of Zhong Haoyang's expectations, he still chose to believe in Fang Heng. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll think of a way now. It will take time for the supplies to arrive, about an hour. You have to be careful."

"Alright," Fang Heng nodded and agreed. He took out a mask from his backpack and put it on his face. He looked at Maica and said, "Let's go!

Inside the large cave passage, vampire Prince Aiur was encircled by a small team from the Federation's investigation team and was caught in a bitter battle.

Prince Aiur was bound to his spot by vines that extended from the ground.

"Brilliant Light Heavy Slash!" A middle-aged man wearing a baseball cap with both hands wielding swords pounced at Prince Aiur.

The edges of the swords were covered in a layer of dark gold as they slashed forward.

"Boom!"

Prince Aiur's body exploded in the air!

Lifeblood exploded in front of him!

Liu Chenzhi raised his broadsword in front of him to block the explosive damage and jumped back.

"He self-destructed? Is he dead?"

981 Assistance

Li Ru, the support at the rear, frowned and shouted, "He's not dead! Be careful!"

"Chi, chi, chi…"

The blood that exploded in the surroundings seemed to have a life of its own. In a short time, it gathered towards a certain point and condensed into a shape in the air again.

Aiur was resurrected in front of everyone in a strange way.

"Hmph! Stupid humans, you can't kill me with ordinary methods," Aiur's face was pale. He snorted in disdain, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. He raised his hands and shot several blood-red bombs forward!

"Dodge!!"

The team members dodged one after another.

In this strange environment, once a wound appeared on a player's body, the blood in their body would be drawn out, which was very difficult to deal with. In addition, the other party was a vampire Prince, so they didn't dare to be careless.

"Don't be afraid! Blood transformation and rebirth will consume his energy!" Li Ru had already analyzed most of the vampire's skills and shouted, "He can't hold on much longer."

As Li Ru was right, Aiur's face turned even gloomier.

If it wasn't for the fact that he had yet to recover from his serious injuries a few days ago, and that he hadn't entered the coffin to hibernate for several days in a row, which led to the spread of the curse, how could he, a vampire Prince, be suppressed so badly by this human team in front of him?

Even these puny humans could take advantage of him!

Aiur was burning with anger.

The Federation's investigation team immediately re-formed their formation after resisting the next wave of attacks. They followed the routine that they had rehearsed thousands of times and fought step by step.

Liu Chenzhi, the captain with a big sword, and another strong young man went forward to harass the Prince. The two magic-class players behind them tried to use all kinds of binding skills and weakening skills to control the Prince. Finally, Li Ru kept watch and provided support.

Aiur couldn't stand the harassment. He knew that the situation would only get worse if this continued.

However, Jian Muzhi had given a death order that they must protect the cave behind them and not let the Federation invade the place even half a step!

All Aiur could do was stall for time until Jian Muzhi finished pouring the power into the magic array!!

Suddenly, Li Ru sensed the fluctuation of lifeblood power from behind and shouted, "Be careful! Someone's coming from behind!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a large number of high-tier vampires emerged from the fog and transformed into human forms.

"Whoosh!"

The high-tier vampires immediately launched a surprise attack on Liu Chenzhi's team.

Not far away, Fang Heng and Maica were hiding behind a huge rock.

The two of them had been here for more than two minutes.

They didn't rush up immediately but observed the situation in the dark.

Maica's pupils were covered with a layer of red light. He could clearly see that Prince Aiur was being suppressed by the humans. He was anxious and said, "Fang Heng, what should we do? Aiur's ability to resurrect is limited. Every time he is resurrected, his ability will be weakened and he won't be able to last long."

Fang Heng was also rather displeased.

The 12 corporations were truly a f*cking nuisance.

It wasn't easy to find a vampire Prince to trick home, but they just had to kill him.

The strength of this Western region's inspection team was much stronger than the previous C-level team. They could even fight head-on with the vampire Prince.

It was very likely that it was an A-level team, and every member was an elite player from an advanced game.

He definitely wouldn't be able to win if he took it head-on.

Fang Heng's brain was working at full speed.

There was only one way. Even if the success rate was only 10%, he still had to try.

That was a vampire Prince! He had to deceive him and get him on his side!

"I have an idea, but I'm not sure if it'll work."

Looking at Fang Heng's serious face, Maica couldn't help but ask, "Is it very dangerous?"

"Yes," Fang Heng stared at the two sides who were fighting not far away and said in a deep voice, "Now that things have come to this, we have to try. You should hide further away first, so as not to be affected."

"What do you mean!" Maica was unyielding for once, "We'll die together! For the glory of the vampires, this little sacrifice is nothing!"

"Umm…" Fang Heng looked at Maica and thought, "I have the coffin of the Vampire King. I can be resurrected."

Moreover, if the situation was bad, he could just return to the game to preserve his life.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Get lost! Don't get in the way!"

Maica gritted his teeth, "Fang Heng, even if you're a liar, I'll f*cking trust you from now on!

After that, Maica scurried behind a big rock on the other side.

"I'll go clean them up! You guys stay calm!" Not far away, Captain Liu Chenzhi shouted as he jumped away from Aiur and dodged in the direction of the coming vampires.

The vampire Prince Aiur wanted to stop him, but he was blocked by two ice curtains that appeared in front of him.

"Human!" Aiur didn't know that Fang Heng and Maica had set up an ambush not far away. He was gritting his teeth, wishing he could tear these humans into pieces.

Taking advantage of this delay, Liu Chenzhi had already charged toward the high-tier Vampires.

The huge sword of the holy light system swept forward!

The sharp claws of two high-tier vampires collided with the large sword and they were instantly sent flying.

Eh? It felt wrong!

Liu Chenzhi suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!"

In the next moment, several lifeblood vortexes appeared around Liu Chenzhi!

Blood spikes condensed in the center of the vortexes and stabbed toward him.

"Light Wall!" Liu Chenzhi shouted as he activated a holy light shield around him.

"Boom! Boom, boom!"

The blood spikes exploded when they landed on the holy light shield.

It was a vampire spell! And it was not weak!

Liu Chenzhi's heart sank as he used the holy light shield to block all the attacks from the vampire spell.

At the moment, their team could suppress the vampire Prince by cooperating with each other, but if they were constantly disturbed by the vampire spell, they would be in trouble.

Who was it?

Liu Chenzhi looked behind him, trying to find the person controlling his lifeblood.

The other party was very smart and had deliberately concealed his aura while hiding in the dark.

He had to be eliminated! Otherwise, it would bring great trouble to the team.

It was just like when fighting a boss, an elite monster appeared next to the team and started harassing them. If the elite monster was not eliminated, there would be all kinds of trouble, and there was even a chance of failure.

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

In just a few thoughts, several more blood spikes shot out from the vortexes in the air!

Liu Chenzhi knew that he couldn't delay any longer, so he shouted, "Li Ru! Holy Bright Light!"

The party support, Li Ru, immediately cast her skill.

"Buzz!"

A dark golden light rose from the center like the sun, illuminating the entire cave and dispersing the lifeblood in the surroundings!

The high-tier vampires were all blinded for a short time by the brilliant light. Tears flowed out of their eyes as they turned their heads away.

The powerful negative effect of the field-control skill could only be partially resisted by vampires of Marquis rank and above!

Liu Chenzhi's eagle-like eyes quickly swept across the scene, looking for any vampires who did not close their eyes to avoid the light.

He found it! Behind the rock!

The vampire who was wearing a mask and controlling the blood spikes!

To find Fang Heng, the inspection team had just released a wide-range control skill with a six-hour cooldown.

Liu Chenzhi felt that it was all worth it. He stomped on the ground with the tip of his foot and dashed toward Fang Heng's position.

982 Scared Away

"Vampire! I've found you!" Liu Chenzhi held his sword with one hand and leaped toward Fang Heng.

The distance between the two parties quickly closed.

Suddenly, Liu Chenzhi's brows furrowed.

He saw the white mask and the pair of calm eyes under the mask.

Something didn't seem right.

Liu Chenzhi did not see any panic or fear in the other party's eyes. Instead, there was a strange calmness.

It was as if he was standing there waiting for him to come over!

This calmness made Liu Chenzhi feel uneasy.

"Whoosh!!!"

Instantly, Liu Chenzhi's eyes were filled with black mist.

What was this?

Liu Chenzhi was shocked.

There was a smell of decay and silence in the air.

The undead?!

Liu Chenzhi's pupils constricted as he sensed a terrifying lifeblood power erupting from the black mist!

Accompanied by an intense lifeblood fluctuation, a huge blood shadow broke through the black fog!

"Boom!"

An intense lifeblood fluctuation spread outward!

Just the explosion of lifeblood caused Liu Chenzhi, who was charging forward, to slow down.

That's…?!

Liu Chenzhi was shocked when he saw what was in front of him.

That red shadow! The Vampire King's phantom?

Before taking part in the emergency mission, the team had carefully read up on the mission-related information, and he was sure that the phantom in front of him was the Vampire King!

But why was there an undead aura in the phantom?

Several thoughts flashed through Liu Chenzhi's mind.

It was dangerous!

Almost subconsciously, Liu Chenzhi held his double-edged greatsword in front of him and switched to a defensive posture. A layer of holy light barrier covered his body, and all his life-saving defensive skills were activated, entering the holy light system's enhanced turtle shell mode!

"Whoosh!"

With a gust of lifeblood, the Vampire King's phantom raised its huge fist and smashed it toward Liu Chenzhi.

He could not avoid it!

"Boom!"

Intense lifeblood exploded in front of Liu Chenzhi!

Liu Chenzhi was struck by the phantom of the Vampire King's fist, and the two outermost holy light barriers shattered almost instantly! The last layer of Holy Light armor on his body was also covered in cracks, and his body flew backward uncontrollably!

"Pu!" In mid-air, Liu Chenzhi could not help but groan as he spat out a mouthful of blood. Scarlet blood flew out of his orifices, making him look particularly savage.

Fang Heng put away the Shrine of Bones, stepped lightly on the ground with the tip of his foot, and immediately chased after Liu Chenzhi who was sent flying.

He realized that the player in front of him came from an advanced game world and was very powerful. The other party was too much of a threat to him!

Even with the help of the Shrine of Bones, The Vampire King's phantom had only broken through Liu Chenzhi's outer layer of holy light defense.

At the very least, he had to severely injure the other party!

Fang Heng's eyes were filled with viciousness.

After launching his attack in a hurry, he realized that he did not have any suitable equipment on him, so he quickly glanced at his in-game space backpack.

He decided on one!

A huge scepter appeared in Fang Heng's hand. The Glorious One's Guardian Scepter!

At first, Fang Heng had put the scepter into his warp backpack and was planning to use it in the real world. He wanted to try to get rid of the aura of the death realm in the Necromancer Association and speed up the collection of necromancy energy.

At that time, he hadn't had the time to take it out yet.

Fang Heng held the scepter with one hand and broke through the black mist.

Liu Chenzhi had been severely injured, and his mind was not clear.

He looked at the masked vampire approaching him and instinctively felt a sense of danger. However, his body was already in a state of multiple negative states from the impact, and he couldn't do anything to fight back. He couldn't even speak.

Huh? What was that?

Seeing the holy light system's scepter in Fang Heng's hand, Liu Chenzhi suspected that there was something wrong with his visual perception.

He was now looking at a vampire who was good at vampire spells. Not only could the other party use the Vampire King's phantom with undead aura to attack, but he could also swing a holy element scepter and smash him hard?!

The scene in front of him was beyond Liu Chenzhi's understanding.

What kind of monster was this?

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, Liu Chenzhi felt a huge force smashing into his chest.

"Crack… Bang!"

The outermost layer of the holy light shield, which was already on the verge of collapse, exploded under the scepter's attack!

Liu Chenzhi felt his chest tighten as he spat out another mouthful of blood!

A dent appeared on his chest as he was sent flying backward at an even faster speed. He then slammed into the rock wall behind him and fell unconscious!

"Boss!"

"Captain!"

The members who were fighting with the vampire Prince Joel were shocked. They immediately left the vampire Prince and rushed over to help.

"Ha, Holy Light…" Fang Heng snorted disdainfully and landed on the ground. He slammed the scepter in his hand on the ground and looked at the Federation's investigation team provocatively.

"Boom!"

The scepter was so heavy that even the ground trembled.

The scepter was seized from the bishop of the Holy Court in District 8.

To be honest, it was quite useful.

Never mind the attributes of the scepter, there was only one thing that had caught Fang Heng's eye: It was heavy! Heavy enough! Hard enough!

The other four members of the Federation's investigation team were also elite players in the advanced game. Seeing that the other four had gone to Liu Chenzhi's aid at once, Fang Heng immediately gave up the plan to pursue them. He stayed where he was and put on airs to deter the other party, giving people a feeling of unfathomability.

"Captain!"

"How is he?"

Liu Chenzhi was on the ground, unconscious. The Holy Light armor on his body was mostly shattered, and blood was flowing out of the corner of his mouth. He looked extremely miserable.

Li Ru quickly checked on Liu Chenzhi's condition and said in a low voice, "He's seriously injured and has fainted. He needs immediate treatment."

The remaining four members of the team couldn't help but look at Fang Heng, who was not far away, with bewilderment in their hearts.

Who was that person? To think he could seriously injure the captain to this extent so easily!

They didn't know Fang Heng's background.

At present, the team had an injured member, a mysterious and powerful enemy had appeared, and the vampire Prince was eyeing them covetously from the rear. They would be at a great disadvantage if they continued to fight.

After weighing the pros and cons, vice-captain Li Ru immediately said, "the other party's background is unknown. The captain needs emergency treatment. We'll retreat first!"

"Understood!"

After receiving the order, one of the inspectors immediately carried the unconscious Liu Chenzhi on his back. The four of them stayed on guard against Fang Heng and quickly retreated in the same direction.

The vampire Prince Joel, who was chasing from behind, wanted to kill them all. However, considering that he had to guard the cave behind him and that his own condition was extremely bad, he couldn't really do anything to this group of Federation elites. Therefore, he pretended to chase them for some time as he gritted his teeth, and threw a dozen blood bombs at them to vent his anger.

Fang Heng didn't intend to chase after them. Seeing the other party escape, he even heaved a sigh of relief.

He was lucky enough to have scared them away. Chase them?

If he couldn't even beat them, then what was the point of chasing?

Besides, he wasn't here to cause trouble for the Federation this time!

Report chapter Comments

Maica, who had been staying not far from Fang Heng, was shocked.

In the beginning, he had been extremely anxious, thinking about how to help the Prince out of this situation.

He didn't expect that Fang Heng's strength would advance by leaps and bounds after just not seeing the latter for a few days!

And that move just now… There was no mistake! It was the power of the Vampire King!

!!

Therefore, Fang Heng really didn't lie to him! He was the true successor to the Vampire King!

Maica was excited and walked out from behind the rock.

He had just taken two steps forward when he noticed the Holy Light attribute scepter in Fang Heng's hand.

Eh? That weapon… Something's not right…

What's with the scepter in Fang Heng's hand?

No matter how he looked at it, it was something from the Holy Court.

Could vampires use items from the Holy Court?

Maica was once again in self-doubt, and his relaxed steps became heavy again.

Fang Heng saw Maica staring at the scepter in his hand suspiciously, so he simply nodded and explained, "It's the loot I got when I annihilated the Holy Court in District 8."

"Oh…" Maica replied, but he still found it strange.

This didn't seem to be the main point, right?

Joel flew down from mid-air and stopped in front of Fang Heng.

He had also sensed that Fang Heng had used the power of the Vampire King and found it strange. Now, seeing the strange mask on Fang Heng's face, he couldn't help but be suspicious, "Who are you?"

"Your Highness, he is Fang Heng," Maica took half a step forward and said.

Fang Heng?

Joel's expression and the aura around him changed abruptly as he stared at Fang Heng.

"Wait, Your Highness, please listen to my explanation."

Maica immediately repeated Fang Heng's explanation about the inheritance of the Vampire King to Joel.

After hearing the story, Prince Joel stood still and glanced at Fang Heng from time to time, falling into deep thought.

The person in front of him was the true heir to the Vampire King?

Was Jian Muzhi a liar?

Joel had always stood firmly on Jian Muzhi's side. He had never doubted the latter.

But now…

He didn't see how Fang Heng defeated Liu Chenzhi just now, but he did sense the power of the Vampire King's phantom.

Along with Maica's words, Joel's suspicion of Jian Muzhi grew.

Could there be a problem with Jian Muzhi?

After thinking about it again and again, Joel trusted Jian Muzhi more from the bottom of his heart.

Joel raised his head and looked at Fang Heng, "I don't know what method you used to temporarily borrow the King's power. Unless you really let me see the Vampire King's coffin with my own eyes, I won't believe your words before that."

Joel's tone was hostile, but Fang Heng was pleasantly surprised.

In other words, as long as he opened the game passage and let the other party see the blood coffin with his own eyes, the Prince would surrender, right?

Good! He had gotten the Prince too!

"Don't worry, you'll see it soon," Fang Heng suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded, saying, "Then follow me."

"Follow you? To where?"

"To look for a place to set up a magic array to open a passage back to the world of the vampires, of course. Didn't you want to see it with your own eyes? It'll be quick."

Joel didn't expect that Fang Heng would really leave immediately. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Maica, "Maica, you go with him and tell me the result of the verification. I'll stay here."

Fang Heng was surprised. He frowned and said, "It will take at least an hour to set up the magic array. The people of the Federation will soon return with reinforcements. Are you still going to stay here and wait for your death?"

"Hmph," Joel snorted heavily, "Just them?"

"We just encountered a Federation's A-level investigation team. From the information I received, there are a total of eight A-level teams participating in this operation, as well as an even higher-ranked quasi-S-level team. If they all rush over to help, then…"

Joel was silent.

They were in big trouble. To think there were seven more of such troublesome teams from the Federation!

Fang Heng's lips curled as he thought about how to trick Joel into going with him.

"You're staying here to protect the cave?"

Joel didn't answer. The look of vigilance on his face intensified.

Fang Heng took a few steps forward, "Jian Muzhi asked you to protect the cave, right? Why don't you let me go into the cave and see what he is up to?"

"No," Joel refused immediately.

In the cave was a magic array that Mr. Jian had carefully set up. Before he came, he had received an order that even if he died, he could not let the Federation invade.

It was true that Fang Heng had just saved him, but he still couldn't determine the other party's identity.

What if he was an enemy and destroyed Mr. Jian's plan?

Joel didn't dare to take the risk.

Maica pondered for a moment and was about to speak up for Fang Heng when not far away, two high-tier vampires flew over from the other side of the passage, turned into human form, and knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness, those humans haven't left. They're still at the entrance and it looks like they're trying to block the road."

"Heh, foolish humans. They think they can seal us like this?" Joel sneered in disdain, he turned to Maica and said, "Keep an eye on him. Take him to another place to set up the magic array and confirm his identity. I'll go and delay those humans for a while."

After saying that, Joel followed the two high-tier vampires to provide support.

Fang Heng frowned, hesitating if he should give chase.

Forget it, he couldn't stop Joel even if he caught up with the latter.

The other party's life-saving ability was extremely strong, so he should be able to hold on for a while. He had to quickly think of another way.

In just a few minutes, only Fang Heng and Maica were left.

Fang Heng looked at Maica.

Maica also cast an inquiring look at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng said, "How long do you think Joel can hold off those humans? Ten minutes? Twenty minutes? Or an hour? We won't be able to complete the magic array in such a short time."

Seeing that Maica was still undecided, Fang Heng spread out his hands, "At this point, why don't you bet on believing me? For the future and glory of the vampires…"

"F*ck!" Maica gritted his teeth and cursed, "Fine! I'll bet on it! What do you want?"

"Take me to the cave. I want to know what Jian Muzhi is up to."

"Okay. There are restrictions around the cave. Follow me."

Maica then led Fang Heng into the cave.

On the other side of the cave, Li Ru quickly retreated with her injured companions and quickly assembled with the team from the Federation's operations department.

Liu Chenzhi finally woke up after some emergency treatment.

He tried to move his fingers, and a heart-wrenching pain came.

His physical condition was terrible.

Liu Chenzhi was still in shock. If it were not for the amazing defense abilities of the holy skills, he would have died at the hands of the masked vampire.

"That monster… Does anyone know his identity?"

Everyone on the team shook their heads.

"Captain, the two closest teams have come to support us. How do you feel?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to fight for a while," Liu Chenzhi shook his head and continued, "The mysterious man just now used an instant burst skill. I guess he's not that strong himself. Such a powerful skill should have a cooldown time or some other restrictions. We'll block the passage and don't let them come out. Then, we'll wait for reinforcements."

"Yes!"

After a discussion, the team decided to stay where they were and completely seal off the entrance of the passage with the Federation's operations department who had come with reinforcements.

In the depths of the cave, Fang Heng followed Maica into the cave guarded by Joel.

Along the way, Fang Heng watched as Maica brought him along and evaded at least 30 restrictions of the vampire. The latter even spent some time dismantling the few that they couldn't evade.

"Alright, we can go in now," After removing the perceptual restriction at the entrance of the cave, Maica nodded at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he met Maica. If he had come alone, he would have triggered the restrictions. By then, Prince Joel would come back immediately to deal with him.

"Lord Marquis."

More than a dozen high-tier vampire guards in the cave bowed to Maica when they saw him.

Maica waved his hand, signaling the vampires to continue working.

Fang Heng glanced around the cave and was pleasantly surprised.

It was a large-scale central nurturing magic array!

In the center of the cave, a large magic array was slowly operating.

A large amount of energy from the magic arrays in the upper cavern gathered at the central magic array.

The weak lifeblood in the surroundings was continuously sucked into the magic array.

At the center of the magic array was a raised stone platform about half a meter above the ground, where there was an additional magic array.

Under the energy absorption and conversion of the magic array, pieces of high-tier blood marrow were formed.

The high-tier vampires transformed into bats and grabbed the condensed blood marrows. They flew through the black hole at the top of the cave and transported the blood marrows to the deeper part of the cave.

Fang Heng frowned.

He felt that the magic array was a little strange, and there was a sense of disharmony.

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the bat-form vampires, asking, "This is blood marrow, right?"

"Yes," Maica explained, "Mr. Jian has improved the magic array. After absorbing the blood of those humans, the magic array can produce blood marrow continuously. Mr. Jian asked us to bring him the completed blood marrow."

Blood marrow was the currency of the vampire.

It was a crystal that contained a high concentration of blood energy after being purified.

Vampires could cultivate and recover quickly by absorbing the power of the blood marrow.

Fang Heng took a few steps forward, squatted in front of the operating magic array, and pressed his hands on it.

He poured his perception into the magic array, and a line of game hints appeared.

[Hint: The player's side mission has been updated. The player has discovered a broken central magic array (repaired). Please continue to explore.]

"Eh?" Fang Heng let out a soft sound of surprise and raised his head to look at the stone platform in the center of the magic array.

The stone platform was not a part of the magic array! It was forcefully added later on!

No wonder he had felt that something was out of place. So it was the stone platform.

The stone platform was new, and it should have been built not long ago. As for the magic array on it, it should have been added later on.

The original configuration of the magic array had been forcibly modified by Jian Muzhi, and the effect changed from the original nurturing to the forming of blood marrow.

Fang Heng stared at the stone platform and suddenly had an idea.

He felt as if he had caught onto something.

Fang Heng turned his head and looked at Maica behind him, "Maica, when was the stone platform and the magic array set up?"

"Huh?" Maica was curious why Fang Heng asked that, but when he saw the latter's serious expression, he recalled carefully and answered, "After we escaped from the Federation's pursuit and returned here, Mr. Jian re-planned and planted the stone platform. I was involved in most of the renovation of this cave, so I have an impression of it."

"What about the original?" Fang Heng stared at Maica with a burning gaze, "What was at the center of the magic array at the beginning?"

Maica's brows furrowed. He thought for a while and said, "There didn't seem to be anything."

Fang Heng was surprised, "No?!"

"No…" Maica tried to recall and said, "Fang Heng, I'm sure. The central area of the magic array was empty. It was just a muddy land. Mr. Jian asked us to build a stone platform on the muddy land and carve a magic array on the stone platform to form the blood marrow."

Fang Heng became more puzzled.

There was nothing?

Wasn't this too strange?

Why weren't there any?

The entire magic array was used to nurture certain items.

But according to Maica, when he saw the magic array, there was nothing in the center.

"Was it taken away by Jian Muzhi?" Fang Heng muttered to himself in a low voice. He didn't think that the Vampire King had spent so much effort setting up the magic array just to form some high-tier blood marrow.

That would just be a waste.

A more likely guess was that Jian Muzhi had discovered that he could not nurture that certain item, so he just transformed the magic array into one that refined blood marrow.

"Huh?" Maica heard Fang Heng's mumbling and said, "I don't think so. I don't remember anything being moved away when we were clearing this area. If there's anything, it's the dried and rotten roots of the plants on the ground that were cleared away."

Roots?!

Fang Heng's eyes lit up all of a sudden and an idea suddenly sprang to his mind. He raised his head abruptly and looked around the entire cave!

Could it be…

If his guess wasn't wrong…

F*ck!

Fang Heng stared at the magic array in front of him, his eyes full of passion.

He should just give it a go!

It didn't matter even if he guessed wrong. He could at least give Jian Muzhi some trouble!

What if he guessed right?

Thinking of this, Fang Heng stood up and strode into the magic array, coming to the stone platform in the center.

Decoding a magic array was difficult, but destroying it was relatively easier.

This was especially true for the subsidiary vampire magic array before him.

It had been set up in a hurry, and there was no proper protection at all.

Fang Heng took out the Glorious One's Guardian Scepter behind him, raised his hand, and smashed it at the stone platform.

"Thump!"

With a loud bang, golden light exploded, and the entire stone platform was smashed into pieces by the scepter!

The central magic array lost its effect.

Maica was shocked.

What was going on? Why did he make a move so suddenly?

The other vampires were shocked as well. They all stopped in their tracks and looked at Fang Heng and Maica in the center of the cave.

"Fang Heng, you…"

For a moment, Maica's trust in Fang Heng wavered.

Frowning, Fang Heng picked up the scepter in his hand again and swept away the stone debris on the ground, revealing the mud under the stone platform.

He covered the top of the scepter with a layer of blood blades, and the originally heavy top of the scepter instantly became extremely sharp.

Then, he used the scepter as a shovel and dug a hole in the soil, searching for something in the hole.

"Fang Heng, what are you looking for?"

After the initial shock, Maica immediately caught up with Fang Heng and checked with him.

He found it! There was something!

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

He could feel that the scepter had hit something hard, so he immediately dropped the scepter, squatted, and dug deep into the soil with both hands.

There were still many dried roots and stones left in the mud.

All of a sudden, Fang Heng's heart moved and he felt that his fingers groping in the mud had found a rough, oval-shaped, shriveled ball.

Then, a game hint appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has discovered a special item (unknown)]

[Hint: It has been detected that the player is bound to the ancient Angetas tree. The player has successfully identified the special item.]

[Hint: The player has discovered a special unknown item, an unknown seed of the sacred tree (damaged)(ineffective).]

[Hint: The player's region side mission has been updated, the origin of the vampires.]

[Mission: The origin of the vampires]

[Mission description: You have discovered the secret of the vampire's fusion magic array. You have discovered an unknown seed of the sacred tree. Please try to continue exploring.]

[Mission requirement: ???]

Fang Heng was extremely excited when he saw the game hints.

He had guessed right!

The magic array in the cave was used to grow the sacred tree of Angetas!

No wonder he felt a strange sense of familiarity when he first saw this cave!

This place was very similar to the Angetas cave back in the prison!

Fang Heng grabbed the seed of the sacred tree and observed it in his palm.

The seed looked completely dried up, and there were cracks on its body. It looked like it had been largely damaged.

This can't do. He couldn't see the game hints and thus couldn't determine the seed's status.

"Fang Heng, What's this?" Maica was puzzled and looked at the black shriveled ball in Fang Heng's palm.

"The seed of Angetas," Fang Heng said.

"What? Angetas?" Maica's expression changed, "Why is it here?"

the ancestors of the vampire once nurtured Angetas here. I don't know what happened exactly, but I guess that the Angetas in our world may be the improved version, or it may be a weakened version…" Fang Heng looked at Maica and nodded, "Help me look for the seeds."

"Alright!" Maica agreed and started to search the hole with Fang Heng.

The two searched for less than a minute and dug out more than 20 seeds from the mud.

Fang Heng was certain that if they continued to explore and excavate, there should be more seeds in the deeper areas.

He had the seeds, but how was he going to use them?

Fang Heng stopped searching and tried to it on the spot.

The seeds could be placed in the in-game warp backpack, and five seeds could be stacked on top of each other in one slot.

He had to return to the game and try to see the specific attributes of the seeds in hopes of getting some clues.

Maica was still trying to find the seeds. When he saw Fang Heng standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Did you find something else?"

"Wait for me here. I'm going back to the world of the vampires."

"What?"

Under Maica's surprised gaze, a blood-red magic array appeared under Fang Heng's feet.

The rich lifeblood rose and wrapped Fang Heng in the center.

Suddenly, the magic array disappeared, and Fang Heng also disappeared from where he was.

"This…" Maica stood rooted to the ground, his eyes flashing with surprise as he mumbled to himself, "He can enter the world of the vampires at any time… The Vampire King… He really is the King…"

Zombie Apocalypse District 8.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Fang Heng immediately took out the dried seeds from his warp backpack.

Lines of game hints appeared on his retina.

[Item: The unknown seed of the sacred tree (damaged)(ineffective)]

[Description (triggered by being bound to Angetas): The seed of an unknown sacred tree, a fusion of blood and the power of a curse. It has lost its ability after being left there for too long.]

[Description (triggered by being bound to the Vampire King's coffin): Due to the long period, the energy in the seed has been completely lost. Players can use the Vampire King's coffin to awaken the damaged seed of the sacred tree by injecting energy into it. After the successful awakening, there is a chance that the seed will recover its energy.]

The hints had arrived!

The key to solving this mystery lay in the Vampire King's coffin!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. He turned his head and looked at Hayez.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Get someone to set up a magic array first. I'll open the passage to the real world later. There's also something else."

With the mentality of giving it a try, Fang Heng spread out his hands and showed the seed of Angetas to Hayez.

"Your Majesty, What is this?" Hayez observed for a moment and nodded in confusion as he said, "It looks like some kind of fruit. I have never seen this kind of fruit before. Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"Hmm. It might be related to Angetas. Forget it, it's normal that you don't know it. Come with me."

"Yes," Hayez immediately accompanied Fang Heng back to the cave of the sacred tree in Angetas in the Zombie Apocalypse.

"Your Majesty!" In the cave, more than 20 high-tier vampires that were guarding the place knelt on one knee to Fang Heng upon seeing him.

Fang Heng raised his hand and motioned for the vampires to stand up. He then shifted his gaze to the center of the cave.

In front of the sacred tree of Angetas, the Vampire King's coffin was emitting a strange red light.

"What should I do?" Fang Heng muttered to himself in a low voice. He walked straight to the Vampire King's coffin and reached out to open the coffin board.

He had just touched the Vampire King's coffin when several game hints flashed across his retina.

[Hint: It has been detected that the player is carrying an unknown seed of the sacred tree.]

[Hint: the player has discovered the seed of the sacred tree. The hidden conditions have been met. The Vampire King coffin's hidden skills, Curse Suppression and Blood Awakening have been activated.]

The effects were so fast?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat and he immediately opened the skill query.

[Item: Vampire King's coffin]

[Tier: ancient wonder (when placed in any world, it can greatly improve the adaptability of the vampires in that world, and improve the world rating)]

[Description: A coffin created after the birth of the Vampire King by fusing with the initial source of life. It possesses great power.]

[Additional skill 1: King's Afterimages]

[Additional skill 2: Slumber (bound to player Fang Heng, passive effect)]

[Additional skill 3: Bloodline]

[Additional skill 4: King's Will (activated, passive effect)]

[Additional skill 5: ??? (Not activated; can be activated through missions or by mastering certain academic skills)]

[Additional skill 6: Curse Suppression (newly activated)]

[Skill description: There is a powerful initial source of life left in the coffin. This source of life can temporarily suppress the curse in the vampires' bodies (they need to enter the coffin and enter hibernation mode for at least 24 hours).]

[Additional skill 7: Blood Awakening (newly activated)]

[Skill description: The initial source of life in the coffin has been integrated with the power of the vampires. By consuming blood, the blood coffin can awaken weapons (including equipment and a small number of special items)(the higher the target's tier, the higher the blood tier and amount required). After the awakening, the equipment (item) has a chance to obtain additional attribute bonuses (vampire attribute items have a high success rate. If the awakened item has an opposing relationship with the vampires, the failure rate is extremely high and there is a chance that it will be damaged after the failure).]

[Hint: It has been detected that the unknown seed in the player's backpack has 100% compatibility with the Vampire King's coffin skill, Blood Awakening.]

Skills 6 and 7!

Fang Heng read the two new skill descriptions back and forth, and his breathing unconsciously became heavy.

Without a doubt, these two skills were extremely useful to him!

Hidden skill 6 could suppress the curse in the vampires' bodies!

The specific effects were still unclear, but he could let Duke Bellamy try it out later.

Perhaps this skill wouldn't increase his current combat power by much, but at this stage, if the news of him having a way to suppress the curse was known to the vampires…

Fang Heng had a premonition that his reputation and influence in the worlds of the vampires would rise rapidly!

He could even use this as a threat to convince all vampires to work for him!

Report chapter Comments

986 Restoration

Didn't the Prince of District 9, Carl, want proof?

If Bellamy's test proved that the coffin could suppress the vampire's curse, then it would be the most powerful proof!

He could just let Carl try it out himself!

Once he was able to convince Prince Carl to work for him…

Fang Heng became excited.

No wonder! No wonder Jian Muzhi didn't dare to bluff the vampires that he had obtained the King's coffin!

It turned the coffin had such an additional effect!

As for hidden skill 7…

Fang Heng carefully read the skill description twice and had some understanding in his heart.

It should be similar to the enchantment ability in the game.

By awakening weapons, equipment, or items with blood, the coffin could enchant the target, giving it an additional skill.

Of course, there was also a chance of failure for Blood Awakening. The more compatible an item was with the vampires, the higher the success rate. If it was holy element equipment, the success rate of Blood Awakening would be very low, and there was also the risk of the equipment being damaged.

Similarly, according to the tier of the enchanted equipment, the higher the tier of the equipment, the more blood would be consumed to awaken it.

Coincidentally, Fang Heng had asked Hayez to collect blood from various game worlds to upgrade his vampire bloodline tier.

During this period, the vampires had cleaned up a few disobedient clans in the worlds of the vampires, so they should have collected a lot of blood.

Fang Heng already had a plan in mind. He turned to look at Hayez and asked, "Hayez, how much blood do we have now?"

Hayez pointed at the blood pools beside the cave and replied, "The runes at the bottom of the coffin are still being studied. We've temporarily stored the blood we've collected in the blood pools we've opened up. Currently, less than three-and-a-half blood pools have been filled, and the concentration of blood in the blood pools has reached tier 37."

Fang Heng nodded.

Energy concentration was a concept for the blood of the vampires. They could use a secret method to refine their blood. However, refining was time-consuming and laborious. Under normal circumstances, it was already very difficult to refine the blood to even tier 20. Only the elders had the ability to continue refining with the help of Angetas.

The peak was tier 50 for blood refined by the highest-tier Angetas.

In contrast, the Vampire King's coffin could refine the blood to a maximum of tier 100!

"Inject the blood."

"Yes!" Hayez's expression turned serious. He immediately called for the high-tier vampires in the cave to transfer the blood into the coffin.

"Chi, chi, chi…" As soon as the blood was poured into the coffin, a sizzling sound was heard.

Immediately after, greenish-gray smoke rose from the inside of the coffin.

Fang Heng lowered his head and looked into the coffin carefully.

Grayish-black impurities that could be seen with the naked eye floated from the blood to the top layer. Following that, they ignited and were instantly burned to ashes.

A bucket of bloody water was poured in and immediately reduced to one-tenth of its original amount.

This was only the beginning. The blood water was still sizzling, vaporizing, and condensing.

Fang Heng didn't have time to wait for the blood to be completely refined. He threw the five seeds into the blood pool directly.

[Hint: The current blood quality tier in the blood pool is LV 52 and the energy contained is 14817. 78216 points of blood energy are required to awaken the unknown seed.]

Frowning, Fang Heng turned around and shouted, "Hurry up! Increase the speed!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

The vampires in the cave immediately picked up their pace and moved buckets of blood from the blood pool to the inside of the coffin.

In the blood pool, the originally dark seeds gradually absorbed the blood, and a layer of dark red light gradually attached to their surface.

After waiting for a full ten minutes, the three blood pools had been emptied by the vampires. The seeds had absorbed most of the blood that had evaporated from the coffins, leaving only a shallow layer of about two centimeters.

After absorbing a large amount of blood, the seeds became round and full, emitting a blood-like dark red.

They seemed to be full of blood as they floated from the bottom to the surface of the blood.

"Is it done?" Fang Heng was puzzled and tried to reach out to touch it.

"Bang! Bang!"

Fang Heng had just raised his hand when three soft explosions sounded in the coffin.

Three seeds had exploded in the coffin!

Before Fang Heng could react, the remains of the exploded seeds were burned to ashes by the remaining high-concentration blood in the coffin.

At the same time, a game hint flashed on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has successfully awakened the unknown seeds. Failure X3, success X2. The player has received: damaged seed *2 (awakened)]

[Item: Damaged unknown seed]

[Description: This seed may have undergone some improvements and catalysis. It needs to be infused with a special energy to germinate.]

[Description: After the awakening through blood, the seed has awakened its internal energy. However, it has been damaged and may not be able to grow.]

[Description: the seed has been damaged and may not be able to grow.]

[Description: the seed is flawed and its growth is unstable.]

Fang Heng glanced at the hints on the seeds and frowned.

Out of five seeds, only two had been awakened, and there were so many hints of the seeds' unstable growth in their description. No matter how he looked at it, the success rate of the subsequent catalytic growth was not too high…

"You don't have to stay here. Go and set up the teleportation magic array first," Fang Heng said to the rest of the vampires and put the two seeds into his backpack. Then, he returned to the real world in a hurry.

"Fang Heng, this…" When Maica saw Fang Heng appearing in front of him again, he opened his mouth and was about to ask a question.

"Trust me, we'll talk later."

Fang Heng raised his hand to signal Maica not to say anything. He took out the seed from his backpack and carefully placed it in the soil in the center of the magic array. He covered the top with two layers and then came out. Then, he stood outside the magic array and observed the changes with Maica.

Maica saw Fang Heng's serious expression. Although he was very confused, he didn't disturb him.

Fang Heng squatted and pressed his hands on the magic array again, sensing its structure.

After a while, he opened his eyes again, revealing a touch of excitement.

No problem, it can be repaired!

Jian Muzhi had probably not expected that he would be able to snatch the Vampire King's coffin.

As such, after the incident, the other party could only choose to modify the magic array.

Due to the lack of time, the modifications the other party made to the magic array were simple and crude and the efficiency of the magic array was very low.

"Maica," Fang Heng turned his head and said, "I need your help. Let's restore the original structure of the magic array. The sooner, the better."

"Alright," Maica had 10000 questions in his heart, but since they had come to this point, he chose to believe in Fang Heng and agreed immediately.

The two immediately worked together to restore the magic array to its original state.

Maica had participated in the initial modification of the magic array, and Fang Heng had long since integrated all the structures of the magic array into his memory. Therefore, the two of them were very efficient in the modification.

In less than five minutes, the magic array was restored.

Fang Heng stood in front of the magic array and took a deep breath.

Whether he could succeed or not would depend on this!

987 Fruit

Fang Heng squatted and pressed his hands on the magic array, pouring his spiritual power into it.

"Whoosh…" Red light swirled, and the magic array that had stopped moving started to work again.

Maica stared at the magic circle, feeling a little nervous.

"Ka, ka, ka…" As the magic array was activated, the ground of the cave began to shake.

Why was the reaction so strong?

Maica became increasingly uneasy, he asked in a low voice, "Fang Heng, will there be any problems?"

"No."

After the activation of the magic array, Fang Heng immediately retracted his hand, stood up again, and retreated a few steps with Maica.

Fang Heng stared at the center of the magic array.

He knew very well that the three central magic arrays in the underground cave were all connected.

The efficiency of the magic array that had been modified by Jian Muzhi to form blood marrow was not high, so part of the energy was accumulated Inside the magic array.

Now that Fang Heng had restored the magic array, activating the seed would consume a large amount of energy. The remaining energy in the other two related magic arrays would thus be injected into the master array continuously.

"Eh? This…" Suddenly, Maica couldn't help but gasp.

He was surprised to find that, under the activation of the magic array, a tiny seedling had actually emerged from the soil in the central region!

The tiny seedling seemed to possess an extremely powerful vitality. Under the support of the blood-colored magic array, it grew and sprouted at an extremely fast speed! The sapling grew into a tree trunk that quickly grew to half a meter!

Dense branches and leaves extended from the trunk.

A bright red fruit grew out of a branch.

The fruit grew bigger and bigger until it was the size of a fist. Another fruit also began to grow from another branch.

"That's…"

Fang Heng was also shocked.

He stared at the two red fruits and frowned.

What was going on?

Isn't this the seed of Angetas? Why would it bear fruit?

Did he make a mistake?

All of a sudden, Fang Heng's heart moved, and the magic array that had been moving slowly suddenly darkened.

Maica turned his head to look at Fang Heng and asked anxiously, "Fang Heng? What's wrong? Is there a problem with the magic array?"

"No, the energy that the magic array absorbed previously has been completely consumed. Now that the magic array is operating normally, it will need more energy to fully nourish the fruit."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then, then that fruit…"

"We can't wait."

Fang Heng couldn't wait for the second fruit to finish growing. He immediately walked to the sapling in the center of the magic array.

After observing the sapling for a while, Fang Heng squatted immediately and gently pushed away the soil below.

In the soil, one of the seeds had successfully sprouted and grown leaves. The remaining seed was still covered in a thin layer of red light, but its surface had completely cracked.

It seemed that the seed had been so damaged to the point that it could not germinate.

Fang Heng put away the exploded seed and shifted his gaze to the newly grown sapling.

A sapling that was more than half a meter tall was a huge difference compared to Angetas.

The most important thing was that Fang Heng couldn't sense the violent lifeblood fluctuations like that of Angetas from the sapling. Instead, it exuded an extremely exuberant vitality.

Fang Heng was puzzled. He reached out his hand carefully and touched the fruit that had not fully grown.

Unexpectedly, the moment he touched it, the fruit fell off the branch. Fortunately, his reflexes were quick, and he grabbed the fruit in his hand.

Lines of game hints appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has received an unknown fruit]

[Item: Unknown fruit]

[Description: A fruit borne from an unknown seed of the sacred tree. The fruit contains powerful vitality. Due to the flaws of the seed itself, the effect of the fruit is greatly reduced.]

[Description: this fruit has not fully matured. Its effects are thus weakened.]

[Effect 1: The fruit contains a strong vitality. Consuming it will remove most negative effects. After consuming it, the consumer will recover 30% of his maximum HP per second for 20 seconds and gain the effect of Limb Regeneration.]

[Effect 2: ??? (Only effective for non-player vampires).]

[Effect 3: ??? (Only effective for non-player vampires).]

[Additional description: The power contained in the fruit is slowly dissipating. After 24 hours, the effect will be reduced by 30%. After 48 hours, the effect will be reduced by 60. After 72 hours, the fruit will be completely ineffective.]

"An unknown fruit…" Fang Heng muttered to himself.

Only one attribute in the description was effective for both vampires and players, while the other two were unknown attributes for non-player vampires.

The only effect was not bad.

Removing negative effects, 10% maximum HP recovery per second, plus limb regeneration…

Fang Heng couldn't help but wonder, "Can Angetas bear fruit too? "

"I've never heard of it either," Maica walked to Fang Heng's side and swallowed his saliva as he spoke, staring at the fruit in the latter's hand with a burning gaze.

He could feel the powerful vitality and part of the lifeblood power contained in the fruit.

This was an instinct that came from his bloodline. To him, the fruit would be of great benefit!

Fang Heng saw Maica's gaze and frowned, asking, "Do you want to try this fruit?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure? This fruit might be very dangerous."

The fruit's attributes had limited effects on players, but it had two unknown effects on vampires.

However, there were risks.

Maica nodded his head quickly, "Fang Heng, I'm sure. I can feel that this thing will be of great help to me."

"Eat!" Fang Heng immediately handed the fruit over.

He was Undead, so the recovery ability of the fruit was just the icing on the cake.

"Alright!" Maica didn't pretend to be courteous. He took the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth.

The red fruit immediately turned into juice the moment it entered his mouth, flowing down his throat.

Maica's pupils contracted.

The liquid turned into a ball of fire and merged into his limbs and bones!

Maica could feel the blood in his body boiling!

"Whoosh!!!"

Maica couldn't help but take a few steps back, berserk lifeblood flowing out of his body!

At the same time, a layer of burning lifeblood appeared on his body!

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes. He could feel Maica's lifeblood power rising rapidly.

After a full minute, the burning lifeblood on Maica gradually died down, and the lifeblood that was spreading uncontrollably from his body also stopped.

Maica raised his head, his eyes still bloodshot.

Hu!

Maica let out a heavy breath.

He turned around and looked at Fang Heng with a solemn expression. Then, he knelt on one knee, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Maica was extremely excited!

He had successfully advanced!

After consuming the unknown fruit, he had successfully improved himself from a vampire Marquis to a Duke.

An ordinary Marquis might not even be able to become a Duke after thousands of years of hard work, but he did it after eating just one fruit!

Report chapter Comments

988 Split Up

Not only that but even the curse in his body was completely suppressed!

At the Marquis tier, the effects of the curse punishment that the vampires faced were not obvious.

Even so, after the curse in his body was temporarily suppressed, Maica felt more relaxed than ever!

To remove the curse and tier up, other than the Vampire King, who else could have achieved these two things?

!!

Maica was now 100% sure that Fang Heng was the Vampire King's successor!

There was no mistake about this!

"You've completed your advancement?" Fang Heng was also very surprised.

He could feel Maica's strength had increased by a lot, so he kept his eyes on the latter.

The fruit's effect was actually this strong?

"Yes, Your Majesty. Not only that, but the curse in my body has also been temporarily suppressed," Maica said and tried to sense it, "I just don't know how long the suppression effect will last."

"I see," Fang Heng nodded and reached out to pick the other fully grown fruit from the sapling.

So the two additional effects of the fruit were temporary curse suppression and ability enhancement?

A vampire Marquis could temporarily suppress the curse and even become a Duke after taking an unripe fruit.

What about the Prince?

Fang Heng couldn't help but feel excited. He looked at Maica and said in a low voice, "Let's go and find Joel!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Maica's face turned serious. He stood up immediately and rushed towards where Joel was with Fang Heng.

Fang Heng and Maica dashed forward side by side. He thought for a moment and asked, "Maica, I have another question."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"Where's Jian Muzhi? Why haven't we seen him? What is he doing?"

"Sigh," Maica sighed, "After we repelled the Federation's pursuers, the remaining vampires followed Mr. Jian to the cave. Mr. Jian set up a special coffin in the cave to perfectly merge with the King's remains."

Maica couldn't help but glance at Fang Heng as he said this, "According to Mr. Jian, the fusion of the King's remains requires a large amount of blood marrow. It wasn't that difficult at first, but the vampires failed to invade the real world and Mr. Jian thus lost the ability to return to the game world."

Oh… So he was to blame for this too, huh?

Fang Heng thought for a while and found that that was indeed the case. After all, not everyone could travel between the game and the real world as conveniently as he did.

"So, Mr. Jian hoped to collect the blood marrow with the help of the Federation. However, the Federation agreed on the surface but delayed it in secret. Later, Mr. Jian got the news that the Federation might not be able to withstand the pressure from the outside world and wanted to harm him to seize the King's remains."

"As such, Mr. Jian went all out. He modified the magic array in the cave and set up a trap to lure the Federation into the cave. He hoped to use the power of the magic array in the cave to deal with the Federation. He wanted to absorb the blood and condense the blood marrow as soon as possible so that his body could completely merge with the Vampire King's remains."

Fang Heng couldn't help sighing after listening to Maica's account of the whole incident.

"So that's how it is. The cave is a trap. Jian Muzhi used himself as bait. Isn't he afraid that things go out of control?"

Jian Muzhi was really ruthless. To think he plunged headfirst into danger for that sliver of hope.

Needless to say, if he had not been called over by Zhong Haoyang, Jian Muzhi might have really succeeded.

However, if it were Fang Heng, he would most likely find a place to hide. After all, Fang Heng was afraid of death.

Blood marrow and everything else could be taken slowly, why did he have to work so hard?

"Jian Muzhi is still in slumber?"

"It should be," Maica looked at Fang Heng as he spoke.

He suddenly recalled that Fang Heng had restored the magic array and extracted the remaining energy from it…

With this, the three central magic arrays would not be able to continue to form blood marrow for Jian Muzhi in a short time.

Jian Muzhi had unknowingly been cheated by the King again.

Maica was very convinced of Fang Heng's abilities, "Your Majesty, is this part of your plan too?"

Umm…

Fang Heng remained silent for a while and gave Maica an unfathomable look.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Fang Heng lowered his head and pondered.

So now, Jian Muzhi should still be in a dormant state.

Jian Muzhi's ability to fuse with the remains of the Vampire King seemed quite strange, and since he dared to fall out with the Federation, he most likely had a backup plan. There was still a risk of rushing over to deal with the other party now.

To play it safe, it was better to think of a way to convince the Prince to pledge his loyalty.

With the help of the vampire Prince, he would be more confident in "reasoning" with Jian Muzhi.

As for whether he could convince the Prince to pledge his loyalty, it would depend on the fruit in his hand…

No, just the fruit alone might not be enough. He also had to ensure that the teleportation passage was open.

After all, he had to bring them all back to the world of the vampires.

Just like playing a game, one had to get the guaranteed reward first before considering how to get more.

Fang Heng thought for a while and said, "Maica, let's split up. You go find Joel, and I'll go get the materials for the magic array."

Somewhere in the underground cave, Prince Joel was running forward.

Behind him, the two A-level inspection teams of the Federation were pestering him.

The distance between the two parties was rapidly shrinking.

Joel's heart gradually sank to the bottom of his stomach.

In the beginning, he was still able to suppress the injured federal team and bombard them from a distance to vent his anger.

However, the second Federation's investigation team soon arrived, and Joel immediately fell into a huge disadvantage.

With the idea of stalling for time, Joel originally wanted to go in circles in the cave. He did not expect that just as he started to do so, a third inspection team would rush over to join the battlefield.

This time, Joel was finally sure that the Federation had indeed sent a large number of elites into the cave to participate in the operation. Fang Heng had not lied to him about this.

What was worse was that Jian Muzhi showed no signs of waking up.

Was the hope of the vampires really going to die here?

Joel's eyes flashed with a touch of despair.

"Whoosh! Whoosh, whoosh!"

Two black afterimages came from both sides of Joel's body, trying to wrap around him.

Joel's expression was grave.

This black aura was extremely difficult to deal with, and he had already suffered quite a bit before.

Without a choice, Joel was forced to stop and turn around. He abruptly clapped his hands together.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The lifeblood that flowed out of his body caused the shadow to explode and collapse.

After being delayed for a moment, the ten high-tier elites of the Federation caught up and formed a circle around Joel.

Facing the vampire Prince, even if the other party were already at the end of their rope, the Federation people didn't dare to be careless.

A middle-aged man from the Federation's team chuckled as he cupped his fists at Joel and said, "Prince, don't run. You know you can't escape. Why don't we be more straightforward? Everyone will be more relaxed. How about it?"

"Shut up!" Joel's eyes widened in anger. He suddenly turned his head to the right and spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he formed a vampire spell seal in his hands.

Whoosh!

The blood in the air condensed into a long and narrow blade, slashing toward the players in front of him.

"Be careful!"

The three teams blocking Joel's right immediately scattered and dodged.

989 Curse Suppression

"Boom!"

The blood sword's blade struck the rock wall with an explosive sound, followed by an explosion of lifeblood!

Taking advantage of the lifeblood blocking the players' vision, Joel frantically fled to the side.

When had a Prince of the vampires ever been in such a miserable state?

!!

Joel's heart was filled with hatred, but he was still blocked by the two players in front of him.

"Hehe, Prince, where do you want to go?"

Joel's face sank. Without replying, he pushed forward with both hands. Two lifeblood bombs condensed and smashed toward the two players.

The two were already prepared. They worked together to form a yellow barrier in front of them.

"Boom!"

The barrier completely blocked the bomb.

Seeing that all his moves had failed, Joel felt even more despair.

He was on the verge of death after the long and fierce battle, but now, even two humans could stop him easily!

The two players also noticed that Joel's strength had dropped significantly. Just as they were about to taunt Joel to anger him, they suddenly felt a strong sense of danger behind them.

"Be careful!"

The two of them immediately turned around.

What was going on?

More than ten blood-red bombs were flying toward them.

The two of them immediately formed a yellow barrier in front of them.

"Boom! Boom, boom!"

More than a dozen blood-red bombs continuously hit the barrier and exploded. The two frowned and tried their best to resist.

Joel was shocked, thinking that the reinforcements had arrived.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Joel immediately ran from the two Federation players and dashed forward.

When he took a closer look, he saw a vampire in the distance coming to his aid.

Joel was shocked when he saw the vampire's appearance clearly.

"Maica? Why are you here?"

Joel was about to ask when his pupils suddenly contracted and he stared at Maica.

How could this be?!

In less than half an hour, Maica's lifeblood power was extremely condensed!

Also, was he the one who fired the dozens of blood bombs just now?

Even Joel didn't dare to squander the remaining lifeblood in his body like this.

Suddenly, Joel realized something and was pleasantly surprised, "You've become a Duke?"

The situation was extremely critical, and the vampires were in a life-and-death crisis. Maica's advancement was great news.

"Yes," Maica rushed to Joel's side as his heart bubbled with excitement, "Thanks to the King."

Joel was stunned, "The King? You mean Fang Heng?"

Maica handed a red fruit to Joel, "Yes, I advanced after consuming the fruit nurtured by the King. This is the fruit the King prepared for you."

Joel's expression changed again.

He could feel the strong lifeblood and vitality in the fruit Maica was holding, and he had the urge to swallow it.

But hearing Fang Heng's name, Joel still had a trace of hesitation.

He had always believed in Jian Muzhi without a doubt.

Maica glanced at the people from the Federation who were chasing after them and urged, "Your Highness, it's too late. Hurry."

In the face of danger, Joel made up his mind, took the red fruit from Maica's hand, and swallowed it.

Boom!

The moment the liquid entered his stomach, a violent heat flow exploded and spread to his limbs and bones!

Joel's eyes were wide open, and a scarlet color gradually appeared in them.

Lifeblood power actually filled every corner of his body in less than a second. Joel felt that his strength had recovered to an unprecedented peak state!

In fact, he was still getting stronger!

The lifeblood in his body churned, and the violent heat flow seemed to be tearing him apart!

The blood vessels under Joel's skin burst one after another, making him look like a bloody man.

"Roar!!" Joel could no longer suppress the churning of his lifeblood in his body. He raised his head and let out a long howl!

A wave of lifeblood energy burst out from the surface of Joel's body and spread out!

Joel let out a long howl. He had never felt so carefree!

He found that the heavy feeling that had been pressing down on his body had disappeared!

Was it the curse?

Joel couldn't help but lower his head and look at his hands. Incomparable shock rose in his heart.

Did the curse disappear?

Quickly closing his eyes to examine the flow of lifeblood in his body, Joel discovered that the curse in his body had not completely disappeared, but was temporarily suppressed by a strong vitality.

Joel opened his eyes once more and looked up at the Federation players who were rushing over from all directions. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Hehe… Fang Heng. The successor of the King, huh?"

The two teams of elite players from the Federation didn't get too close. They all looked at Joel vigilantly.

They realized that his aura had changed.

The lifeblood that was coming from his body had become very strong.

What kind of vampire secret technique did Joel use?

"Be careful, there's something wrong with him,"

"Damn it, it must be Jian Muzhi's doing."

"Whoosh!!!"

Joel's figure became a little illusionary in the air.

The illusionary figure split into two, two into four, and four into eight.

In the span of a few breaths, a total of sixteen vampire Prince Joels appeared in front of everyone.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sixteen Joels turned into sixteen blood shadows at the same time and darted toward the surrounding players.

"Careful!" A player shouted.

Whoosh!

Joel's afterimage appeared behind a player. His blood-red claws swung out, drawing a line of dark red.

"Boom!!"

The player was unable to react in time and was blasted away by the blood shadow's claw! A huge tear appeared on the player's back, and at the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying!

"Hahahaha!"

He felt so relaxed!

After breaking free from the curse's effects, Joel felt that the strength in his body seemed to be endless!

The blood shadow flew forward again, chasing after the unlucky Federation player!

In contrast, the players of the Federation were all shocked.

To think the vampire Prince's ability had been greatly improved in a short time!

The sixteen blood shadows suppressed everyone and crushed them fiercely.

In just a few seconds, two players of the Federation's investigation team A were beaten into a state of near death!

What had happened?

The players felt that they were almost insane.

The Prince was the peak combat strength in elementary games but would be greatly weakened in the real world. In theory, two A-level teams of the Federation should be enough to deal with him.

However, Prince Joel had actually exploded with more tyrannical power than in the game!

What did Jian Muzhi do to the vampires?

"Use Holy Judgment! Quickly retreat!"

The two team captains noticed that Joel's situation was not right. They immediately made a judgment and shouted for everyone to retreat immediately.

One of the players took out an ancient scroll from his backpack. He gritted his teeth, poured his mental strength into the scroll, and threw it into the air.

Whoosh!!

A dazzling light burst out from the scroll!

The light became increasingly brilliant! It was like the sun, lighting up the entire cave as if it was daytime!

The piercing light made Prince Joel and the other blood shadows turn their heads to avoid it.

By the time the light faded and Joel's vision returned, the Federation players had already retreated far away.
