Vampire Apocalypse District 6.
Atina knelt down on one knee and reported respectfully, “Yes, according to Duke Bellamy’s suggestion, we’ve temporarily sealed the aura of death within the dark prison of blood. We hope that the aura we’ve collected will be of help to Master.”
The aura of death had been secretly collected by the vampires? And it was stored in the dark prison of blood?
After entering the game, Fang Heng was stunned for a moment when he heard Atina’s report. Then, he became overjoyed.
Good!
Why didn’t he think of this in the beginning?
The dark prison of blood was the most suitable place to store the aura of death!
Originally, the aura of death wasn’t very useful. It could only speed up the efficiency of increasing the experience points of necromancy.
With his clones, Fang Heng had always been dissatisfied with the efficiency of leveling up in necromancy. It was just that he was unable to make a breakthrough.
However, things were different now.
He had obtained the Shrine of Bones.
The initial strength of the King Guard summoned by the Shrine of Bones was not high, but it could be enhanced by the power of the aura of death. This was exactly what he needed now!
Fang Heng couldn’t be more satisfied with the performance of the vampires!
“Yes, you’ve done very well. I’m very satisfied.”
Vampires were still more useful than zombies in some ways. After all, they knew how to use their brains.
Atina’s heart was filled with joy. She obediently lowered her head and said, “It’s our duty to share Master’s woes.”
Fang Heng thought for a while and continued, “There’s a big problem in the real world. I need you guys to be on standby. Also, once Mo Jiawei comes online, tell him that I’ve left the fallen corridor and ask him to find a way to contact me.”
“Yes, Master.”
After making sure that the Vampire Apocalypse was not affected by the aura of death, Fang Heng used his skill to switch to the academic form of the vampires. At the same time, he transferred a human-skinned mask into his space-time jump backpack and immediately exited the game.
The academic integration skill was still useful. It would still work after he entered the real world after switching to his vampire form.
After returning to the real world, Fang Heng put on the human-skinned mask and changed some of the damaged parts of the holy equipment that he was wearing. He then walked toward the front of the passage again.
Fang Heng followed the smell of blood all the way to the second basement.
The inside of the passage ahead was still dark.
More than a dozen vampires stayed at the end of the corridor, vigilantly watching Fang Heng, who was walking toward them step by step.
Unlike just now, the vampires could clearly sense the aura of their own kind coming from Fang Heng’s body from far away.
When he got closer, Fang Heng raised the vampire’s spirit cane again.
The holy weapon of the vampires was a symbol of the vampires’ glory.
All the vampires knelt down on one knee and said, “Lord Marquis.”
“Yes,” Fang Heng replied. He stepped forward and pushed open the metal door guarded by the vampires.
To Fang Heng’s surprise, behind the metal door was a large cave that had been half-excavated by someone.
After entering the cave, Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched again.
In the center of the cave, there was a round stone vampire’s altar. A stone pillar about three meters tall stood in the middle of the altar. There were twelve vampires surrounding the altar.
They pressed their hands on the ground and were performing a special ritual to awaken the King’s body.
Fang Heng’s eyes were attracted by that towering stone at first sight.
That’s right, that stone should be the sealed body of the Vampire King!
“Chi! Chi Chi!”
Blood sprayed down from the sky, splashing onto the stone pillar and making a loud noise.
“So that’s how it is…” Fang Heng whispered.
He looked up and saw a hidden entrance at the top of the cave.
The faint moonlight shone through the hole.
From time to time, vampires would fly in and out of the cave with fresh blood and spray the fresh blood on the stone pillar.
The stone pillar absorbed some of the blood and would be awakened by the vampires who were holding the ritual below.
Seeing Fang Heng entering the cave from the main entrance, many vampires in the cave cast an inquisitive look at him.
After confirming Fang Heng’s identity as a vampire, most of the vampires quickly looked away and continued to do their work.
In the crowd, three vampire Marquises who were guarding the central altar looked at each other with confusion.
Who was he?
From the aura he exuded, he should be a Marquis-level vampire without a doubt.
Where did this Marquis of the vampires come from?
According to the original plan set by the Elders Council, the safety of this sealing point was the responsibility of the three Marquises of the vampires.
As for the higher-tier vampires such as the Dukes and Princes, they would also join the battlefield.
However, they would choose to exterminate the humans in various parts of the world to attract the attention of the enemy.
They had never heard of this foreign Marquis of the vampires who came to help.
Maica, the youngest of the three Marquises of the vampires, walked straight to Fang Heng. He stared at Fang Heng and asked, “Who are you? I’ve never seen you before.”
Fang Heng gestured to the vampire’s spirit cane in his hand and nodded, “Nate, from the Asama clan. Due to some special reasons, I’ve always been active in this world.”
“I just noticed that people from the Federation are heading here. You all might have been exposed, so I came to take a look. I suggest you move immediately.”
A vampire that lived in the real world?
It sounded very strange.
“Oh, really? You’re saying that the Federation has already discovered this secret base?”
Maica’s tone was filled with unconcealed suspicion. He turned his head to look at the middle-aged man in the uniform of a federal officer.
Yuan Zhi said in a deep voice, “That’s impossible. We’ve done it very discreetly this time. Moreover, we didn’t get any intelligence information. It’s impossible for the Federation to discover us.”
Maica looked at Fang Heng and said, “You heard that?”
“I heard that. I’m not deaf.”
Fang Heng glanced at Yuan Zhi as he spoke. He didn’t argue with them, giving them a look that said “believe it or not.”
He walked forward step by step and looked at the huge stone in the center of the stone altar that was more than three meters tall.
After the passage of time, the vampire’s sealed body gradually petrified. It had completely integrated with the seal left on the earth and was unable to move, resulting in its current appearance.
After absorbing the strength of the blood, the stone began to emit a faint red light.
The seal was gradually being broken.
Maica stood in front of Fang Heng, blocking his view.
“How long will it take to unlock the seal?” asked Fang Heng.
Maica waved his hand, signaling one of his subordinates to investigate Fang Heng’s identity.
“The first seal will be broken soon, and we will enter the second stage. Let’s talk about you, which region are you from? Why haven’t I seen you before?”
“I’ve never seen you before either,” Fang Heng said casually, “With so many races invading the world, it’s normal that you haven’t seen me before.”
Fang Heng quickly thought of countermeasures in his mind.
Originally, he had wanted to disguise himself and enter the vampires’ inner circle to obtain some information from them and reap more benefits.
In the past, this move had been very useful, but this time, he had encountered trouble.
The vampires were extremely vigilant.
