Chapter 696 - The Node
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Fang Heng raised one hand and made a gesture in the air.
The bat-shaped Venerate flew down and hovered beside Fang Heng.
"Marquis, what are your orders?"
"Keep an eye on the vampires outside and find a way to transport the explosives in batches. Bury them according to the blueprint I gave you. Be careful not to be discovered by the people of the Holy Court."
"Yes, Marquis."
Zhao Nan swallowed her saliva and looked at Fang Heng carefully.
What a terrifying person!
Once a large number of people from the Holy Court rushed into the building, Fang Shuo would use the explosives to destroy the entire vampires' building...
Including the vampires and the entire vampires' building, everything would be buried in the ruins.
Fang Heng felt that there was no point in continuing to stay and waste time with the Holy Court, so he continued to look at Venerate. "What's the situation of the core node of the magic array in Victoria City?"
"We've already investigated the 11 pillars of light nodes in Victoria City and found that the protection of three nodes is relatively weak. They can be used as a breakthrough point."
Very good.
He would let the Holy Court stand guard at the entrance. Taking advantage of this free time, he went over to grind for a wave of mission contribution points, evolution crystals, and the sacred study skill level.
"Where is the nearest weak point?"
"It's five kilometers away. It's an exhibition hall."
Hearing this, Fang Heng turned to look at Liu Maoxue and asked, "Is there a player team at the exhibition hall?"
"I'm sure there isn't. Including us, there are only three guilds that have connections with the Holy Court branch. Our people are at the headquarters. Shengying's people followed Commander Langdon to attack the building. They've just been wiped out. The last guild is cooperating with the team to repair the large-scale magic array's core node in the south of the city."
Very good.
The target was definitely the exhibition hall.
However, they couldn't invade it from the front.
The old place, the sewer.
"Venerate, continue to observe the movement of the Holy Court and report any special situations."
"As you wish, Marquis."
Fang Heng waved his hand to signal Venerate to do his work. Then, he looked at Zhao Nan and Liu Maoxue and said, "I'll go to the exhibition hall. You two stay here."
"Boss Fang, go to the exhibition hall? Take me with you! I want to go too!"
Sandy was bored out of his mind by staying here. When he heard that Fang Heng was going to the exhibition hall, he waved his hand excitedly and came over. "Take me with you. I'm very useful. The god of art will help you."
Fang Heng thought for a moment.
Sandy's performance in the Vampire Apocalypse was remarkable.
Since they had the zombie clones now, Sandy was safe in the zombie team since he was protected by the zombie team. It wouldn't be a problem for him to take him along.
"Alright, you come with me."
"Hehe, the god of art appreciates your decisiveness, Boss Fang."
Watching Fang Heng head towards the underground stairs with Sandy, Liu Maoxue and Zhao Nan looked at each other.
They felt strange.
Didn't they say that they were going to deal with the teleportation passage of the Holy Court branch? Why did they go underground again?
...
When they returned to the third basement, the Lickers were all gathered in the same spot.
The traces left by the previous battle were clearly visible, and there were still twinkling evolution crystals on the ground.
Fang Heng waved his hand, and the crystals on the ground were sucked into his palm.
[Hint: You have obtained evolution crystal fragments*5, complete evolution crystal*6, Tier 1 evolution crystal*6, Tier 2 evolution crystal*10.]
It was too little, only six crystals.
Fang Heng was rather disappointed.
Therefore, it was still a loss to stand on the side of the vampires.
The power of the Holy Court was too small, and there were not many people in total. Each and every one of them was as hard as a turtle shell...
"Let's go."
Fang Heng waved his hand and brought the Lickers back to the fourth basement.
They came to the storage room in the fourth basement.
In less than half an hour, the zombie clones had dug a deep hole in the ground that led to the sewer of the city.
Sandy was used to this.
The two of them entered the sewer area through the passage that was dug. Under the escort of the zombies, they headed toward the exhibition hall according to the directions on the map.
The sewer area of the Vampire Apocalypse was not as full of poisonous gas and negative effects as that of the Zombie Apocalypse. It was even built very wide.
Therefore, Fang Heng took out a portable bicycle from his backpack.
As they rode forward quickly, Fang Heng stroked his chin and asked, "Sandy, Lickers can be disguised as ghouls. Can zombies also disguise themselves as the undead... Zombies?"
"Ehmm..."
Sandy thought about Fang Heng's suggestion and said, "I don't think it's necessary to pretend. It looks like one now."
"Alright."
Ghouls were suspicious enough. Unless it was necessary, zombies shouldn't be exposed to outsiders.
The Licker's combat strength was enough anyway.
About ten minutes later, Fang Heng stopped his bicycle.
He took out the map of Victoria City and compared it with the map. "The exit is up there. You might encounter danger later. Follow me closely."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Sandy still had some lingering fear about being shot, but he was much more obedient now. He nodded repeatedly and said, "It's safer to follow you."
Climbing up the ladder, Fang Heng lifted the manhole cover on the ground and climbed out of the basement.
The exit of the sewer faced a corner of the exhibition hall.
In the exhibition hall not far away, a pillar of Holy Light rose into the sky.
Obviously, this pillar of light was much dimmer than the one he saw outside the hall.
A few holy cast knights guarded the entrance of the exhibition hall.
The Lickers who had changed their appearances drilled out from the inside of the passage and gathered behind Fang Heng.
"Go!"
Fang Heng gestured toward the exhibition hall in the distance.
The Lickers spread out and surrounded the exhibition hall from all directions.
...
At the entrance of the exhibition hall, five holy cast knights were on full alert, constantly scanning their surroundings.
Their mission was to ensure the safety of the magic array's structural point.
The captain of the light cast knights, Nick, did not dare to be careless.
"Bang! Bang Bang!"
A few gunshots were heard.
"Right side! Pay attention to the right side! Unknown creature found!"
"Enemy invasion!"
The believers of the church on the second floor discovered something and suddenly shouted.
Nick was shocked and immediately looked to the right side where the sound came from.
"Chi Chi Chi!!!"
A few dark brown shadows flashed by the corner.
They stuck close to the ground and quickly pounced toward the entrance.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The believers of the Holy Court who were lying in ambush at the window pulled the triggers in their hands and fired.
Seeing the strange creatures crawling along the ground, the holy cast knights who were guarding the door were shocked.
It wasn't a vampire?!
Then what kind of monster was it?!
Lickers appeared from behind the corner and jumped up from the ground one after another, pouncing toward the holy cast knights while withstanding the firepower of the handgun bullets.
Nick watched as the gray-brown creature pounced closer and closer until the vertical lines on the creature's forehead were clearly visible.
