Chapter 717: Connections

Fang Heng quickly glanced at the mission hint.

Very good, the completion rate of the mission has been raised to SS.

If everything goes smoothly, Chu Yan should be able to settle everything quickly and recall the remaining Holy Court guards at the magic array’s central node.

At that time, he could quickly run to retrieve the sealing stone and complete the mission while at the same time, raising his main mission’s contribution points to SSS-level.

Therefore, he could buy Chu Yan some time.

First, he would go to the next teleportation point and wait.

Fang Heng was pondering the next step of his plan when he caught sight of two people walking toward him from the corner of his eye.

Fang Heng looked up at the two of them. “Player?”

“That’s right.” Meng Hao pointed at himself. “Hello, let me introduce myself. I’m Meng Hao, and this is Ah Ding, from the vampires.”

“Oh? You two are looking for me?”

Meng Hao was a bit reserved in the face of this person who had so many tricks up his sleeve that he could easily toy with the vampires and the Holy Court.

He cleared his throat and introduced himself, “We’re from Ding Yufan Gaming Company. We represent the company and would like to work with you. Mmm, we have a lot of connections with the vampires. We’ll definitely be able to help you take control of the entire Victoria City. Trust us, we’re willing to work with you.”

“I see… Victoria City…”

Fang Heng whispered and looked up again.

Venerate hovered down from the high sky and came in front of Fang Heng, kneeling on one knee.

He had received an order from Fang Heng not to participate in the attack on the warehouse. Instead, he was scouting from a distance.

“Marquis, are you okay?”

“Not good. We fell into the trap of the Holy Court. Our losses this time were a little tragic. Many of our races died in the explosion.”

Fang Heng shrugged. He didn’t show any signs of misery. He continued to ask, “What about the Holy Court’s situation?”

“Please don’t blame yourself. The Holy Court has also paid a heavy price,” Venerate said in a deep voice. “We’ve detected that the Holy Court hasn’t made any major movements for the time being. Only a small portion of the Holy Court’s teams are heading here. We concluded that they’re just a scouting team.”

“Got it. Keep scouting.”

“Yes, Sir!”

After Venerate left, Fang Heng turned to look at Meng Hao and Ah Ding. He thought quickly in his mind.

Victoria City was already a foregone conclusion.

There was still a bit of finishing work to be done, and it would be done very soon.

If he wanted to go on to Level 22 and gather all the evolution crystals, the Holy Court wouldn’t have enough people to kill.

He still had to think of a way to start from within the vampires.

He had to make some preparations beforehand.

“Cough cough.” Seeing Fang Heng’s gaze, Meng Hao coughed lightly and continued to increase the investment stakes. “Our union is very sincere. We are willing to give up a portion of the company’s shares. We hope to get a partner to cooperate.”

After entering Victoria City, Meng Hao’s experience confirmed that this person in front of him was definitely worth cooperating with.

“I can consider cooperating with you, but…” Fang Heng turned to look at Meng Hao and nodded. “Victoria City is too small of a goal. What do you think of standing at the peak of this world?”

Meng Hao and Ah Ding were both stunned when they heard this. Their pupils constricted. “You mean… ?”

“Heh, you guys say that you know a lot about vampires, right?” Fang Heng quickly came up with a preliminary plan. He nodded and said, “I don’t want any shares. Help me investigate something first.”

Meng Hao said seriously, “Please speak.”

“The vampires’ holy weapon.”

Fang Heng’s gaze focused on Meng Hao.

“It is rumored that the vampires have a total of thirteen holy weapons. I need you to immediately find out what the thirteen holy weapons are, who has them, where are they, and what is the ability of each holy weapon. I want to know everything.”

Meng Hao frowned as he tried to guess what Fang Heng was thinking.

“I got it. We’ll start investigating immediately. How are we going to find you?”

“I’ll find you. Also, I’m Fang Shuo.”

After he spoke, Fang Heng transformed into his bat form and flew off into the distance.

Seeing Fang Heng leave, Ah Ding said, “Brother, this Big Brother seems a little cocky?”

“The Thirteen Holy Artifacts of the vampires belong to each clan in theory. It’s not difficult to get most of their whereabouts.” Meng Hao pursed his lips, he said, “Let’s take some time to gather all the information. The more comprehensive it is, the better. This is Big Brother’s test for us. Just treat it as a pledge of allegiance.”



The fallen corridor.

Last night, under the influence of the power leakage of the Shrine of Bones, the power of the central seal once again accelerated and spread out!

A large number of high-tier vengeful spirits were resurrected.

With no other choice, Pu Shi led the players to retreat again and again.

Now, they had completely retreated from the inner layer of the fallen corridor and arrived at the third-floor area of the middle layer.

The situation was much worse than Pu Shi had initially expected.

If they continued to retreat, it would be equivalent to losing the entire middle layer of the fallen corridor.

The more areas where the energy of the Shrine of Bones spread out, the more difficult it would be to clean up the area later on.

“70% of the energy of the Shrine of Bones has already been released.” After exiting the door of bones outside the middle layer, Pu Shi gave an order to the player, “Set up on the spot and disperse the soul power. Make sure to control the vengeful spirits within the middle layer.”

“Yes!”

After receiving the order, the players dispersed one after another.

Taking advantage of the time when the players set up the formation, Li Qingran walked to Pu Shi’s side and suggested in a low voice, “Teacher, everyone is already very tired after fighting all night. If we continue fighting, the impact on everyone will be even greater.”

Pu Shi frowned when he heard that. He turned around and looked at the situation of the team behind him.

Indeed, it was just as she said.

The players were already very tired. If they forced themselves to fight, they would not be able to unleash 70% of their original combat strength. It might even increase their fatigue.

“Yes, I know what to do.” Pu Shi knew that he was a little anxious, but the situation before him did not allow him to take things slowly, “The sealing situation is still worsening. The power of the Shrine of Bones is still dissipating, and the strength of the King Guards in the center is also gradually increasing.”

Li Qingran pursed her lips and tried to persuade him again, “Teacher, we really can’t continue. Everyone has been fighting for more than ten hours. This is a long battle, and fatigue will only increase the chances of getting injured. We don’t have enough holy water and other materials. Everyone needs to take a breather and reduce the consumption of materials.”

Pu Shi sighed in his heart.

“Alright.”

With the current state of the players, the success rate of forcefully defending was probably not high.

“Tell the players to retreat from the central area and return to the periphery to defend.”

“Alright, I’ll immediately make arrangements. Teacher, you should rest too.”

After a while, Pu Shi led the team to retreat to the outer area of the fallen corridor.

The players immediately split into two groups. One group started to build a defense net, while the other group found a place nearby and sat down. They leaned against the wall and took turns to rest.

After fighting the undead for an entire night, they could finally catch their breath and recover some of their stamina.
