#2014 - Intercept
Chapter 2017: Interception
Begin!
With the infusion of mental power, the ground beneath my feet began to shake violently!
“Crack, crack… crack crack!!”
Small cracks appeared on the ground ahead.
The sarcophagus of the Blood Clan King slowly emerged from the cracked ground.
The entire sky reflected a dark red light, and the surroundings were plunged into a dark red hue!
[Hint: Player is currently summoning - Blood Clan King's Sarcophagus. Continuous summoning will consume blood power. Estimated remaining duration: 24 hours or more].
The large-scale Blood Clan alchemy magic array under Fang Heng's feet operated rapidly. He suddenly reached out and pointed towards the Blood Clan King's sarcophagus!
“Gather!!”
There was also gray-black smoke and dust within the mist.
A large amount of impurities were separated out after being burned by the Blood Clan King's sarcophagus.
About two-thirds of the blood was consumed.
The blood within the sarcophagus began to accumulate slowly.
“That’s about right…”
Fang Heng muttered softly, stepping forward step by step, until his entire body was completely lying inside the Blood Clan King's sarcophagus.
Soaked in the repeatedly refined and purified blood, Fang Heng felt a warm current entering his body along his brow, nourishing his internal organs.
Lines of game prompts rapidly refreshed in Fang Heng's retina.
[Hint: Player has successfully purified and condensed blood through the Blood Clan King's Sarcophagus].
[Hint: Player is currently undergoing bloodline tempering through the Blood Clan King's Sarcophagus. The player's current Blood Clan Prince bloodline level has reached LV: MAX. The next stage of advancement has been triggered. Please temper the bloodline to: 100%].
[Hint: Player's current bloodline tempering completion: 91%].
[Hint: Player through the Blood Clan King's Sarcophagus…].
The blood was slowly absorbed as if it had merged into Fang Heng's body.
The bloodline tempering level rapidly increased with the absorption of blood!
Gu Qingzhu had originally intended to come and look for other game world exits, but now noticed that Fang Heng was using the power of blood to strengthen himself, seemingly entering a deeper level of breakthrough, so she quietly stood behind Fang Heng to protect him.
Half an hour quietly passed.
The blood umbrella canopy suspended in the high altitude fell continuously like drizzle, pouring into the sarcophagus.
At this time, the umbrella canopy had consumed as much as two-thirds of its blood.
In the distance, Blood Clan Prince Micah flew over quickly, reverting to human form and kneeling on one knee, reporting in front of the Blood Clan King's sarcophagus: “Your Majesty, we have discovered unknown enemies approaching.”
Enemies?
Fang Heng was currently focusing all his attention on controlling the bloodline tempering and advancement, and his ability to perceive the outside world had dropped to its lowest point, so he did not hear Micah's report.
Gu Qingzhu heard this and looked at Micah, asking in a deep voice: “Is it Miyamoto Yoshihide's people? The Fox Hunt Team? Or the Federation?”
Jia'er nodded slightly to Micah, indicating that he could answer the question.
Micah nodded and said: “There are nearly thirty enemies in total, and they are not weak. I didn’t get too close to observe, so I’m not sure about the specifics, but I can confirm that seven of them are wearing Federation uniforms.”
That's right!
Miyamoto Yoshihide must have left other passages in the game!
These people are all chasing after the Dragon Soul Crystal!
Right now, Fang Heng is in the midst of a breakthrough, and he can't be disturbed.
Gu Qingzhu said to Jia'er: “I’ll go take a look with him. You guys stay here and make sure to protect Fang Heng.”
“Understood!”
Prince Jia'er nodded lightly, emitting blood energy fluctuations to call the surrounding Blood Clan members to quickly gather.
His Majesty is currently at a critical juncture in his breakthrough, and he must not be disturbed!
… …
Not far away.
Tal and his team of players were rapidly gathering in the direction!
The faces of the players in the team were somewhat unsightly.
They had rushed all the way, crossing a group of zombies that were fighting, and originally thought it was over.
Unexpectedly, the closer they got to the sensing area of the Dragon Soul Crystal, the denser the spreading zombie groups became!
They even saw a large, densely packed zombie group spreading outwards ahead.
There were as many as hundreds of thousands of them!
The zombies were slowly advancing forward.
They were clearing all the ant nests along the way, and were constantly increasing the number of zombie groups through special infection abilities.
Just looking at it made one's scalp tingle.
There was no way to avoid it!
Helpless, the team relied on the short-term flight ability provided by Tal to fly over the top of the large zombie group.
Fortunately, the zombies could not fly and were not hostile to creatures in the air.
Otherwise, it would probably take them a long time to cross the sea of zombies.
Finally passing through the tide of zombies, Ji Shaojie raised his head and looked into the distance, a hint of solemnity appearing in his brows.
They were not far from the location sensed by the Dragon Soul Crystal.
It was in that place!
Extremely strong blood energy fluctuations appeared there.
Looking towards the location of the sensed direction at this time, they could see an area shrouded in a red cloud layer.
What was that?
In addition to sensing the Dragon Soul Crystal, they could also sense an extremely rich blood energy from it.
It seemed that something was being nurtured within it.
Could it be that the Dragon Soul Crystal had undergone some changes?
No one in the team spoke, but everyone saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
Everyone's mood became even heavier.
The situation was not good.
Compared to yesterday, the power of the Dragon Soul Crystal that they sensed at this moment had been greatly weakened.
And it was still weakening!
What exactly had the Ajin tribe done to the Dragon Soul Crystal!
They had to stop them as soon as possible!
“The situation may have changed, let's go!”
Ji Shaojie called out, urging everyone to continue on their way.
Just two minutes after moving forward, everyone suddenly realized something and turned their heads to look to the right.
Gu Qingzhu!
Not far away, Gu Qingzhu was standing there, holding a silver long sword.
Just him alone!?
The Fox Hunt Team players suddenly did not dare to be careless, quickly slowing down their speed, maintaining a distance from Gu Qingzhu, and carefully observing the surrounding terrain.
Ji Shaojie also stared at Gu Qingzhu, full of suspicion.
He was very sure that Gu Qingzhu had used a secret technique yesterday. Although his strength had surged in a short period of time, he had also suffered heavy injuries. In theory, he should not have recovered so quickly.
But strangely, Gu Qingzhu's injuries seemed to have recovered faster than he had expected.
Moreover, it was obviously abnormal for Gu Qingzhu to appear here alone.
What was going on!?
Was there an ambush!?
Ji Shaojie carefully released his senses to observe the surrounding situation.
“Ji Shaojie.”
Gu Qingzhu's gaze swept over everyone, finally focusing on Ji Shaojie, and said coldly: “Yesterday, you were very lucky, allowing you to escape with your life. But today, your good luck is probably coming to an end.”
“Chi!”
The long sword was unsheathed!
Gu Qingzhu's figure darted forward like lightning, the long sword stabbing several times in the air!
