Chapter 898: Steady

“The offering’s condition has been restored. We can take him away at any time,” Maica didn’t have the time to think about the details as the situation was pressing. He followed Fang Heng’s train of thought and explained, “But the teleportation passage has lost its effect. As you probably saw on your way here, the people hiding at the foot of the mountain are all from the Federation. It’s going to be a little difficult to escape.”

“Yes, let’s go back and take a look first,” Fang Heng agreed and followed Maica back to the cave.

He had been puzzled. Just now, he had encountered a group of people from the Federation gathered in the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. He had thought that there would be a fight.

To avoid wasting time in a head-on battle, he had deliberately taken a detour when getting up the mountain. However, he didn’t expect the Federation soldiers simply pretended not to see him, and the two sides passed by each other smoothly.

On the mountain path, after being crushed by the Tyrant forms at the beginning, the players outside quickly realized that the Tyrant forms were not agile enough. As such, they started to scurry around in the mountain, fighting guerrilla warfare with the Tyrant forms.

To put it nicely, it was guerilla warfare, but to put it bluntly, they were just being chased.

“They’re not from the Federation. Which guild are they from?” Li Yicheng held onto a tree and stood up. The shock in his heart could not be any greater.

He had just been sent flying by a Tyrant form’s palm, and now the entire right side of his body was numb.

It was already surprising enough to see Tyrants from the Zombie Apocalypse here. To think their combat abilities were this strong?

“Forget it. We’ll admit defeat. Let’s retreat,” Li Yicheng quickly ordered his men to retreat.

They couldn’t fight this battle anymore. They should retreat while the losses were still within their acceptable range!

“Captain, please don’t. Two of our men have died. Do you want to retreat now?”

However, the other team members did not want to give up just like that.

The vampires were on the verge of being unable to hold on, and they had already paid such a heavy price for it, how could they give up now?

“Those Tyrant forms are monsters that have been modified! Even if the reward is good, you have to be alive to get it!”

Tian Sheng gritted his teeth, “Captain, let’s give it a shot. If we don’t give it a shot, we would have to live with the regret in this lifetime!”

That was 50,000 King of Gods points! He was unwilling to give up!

Li Yicheng bit his pale lips and looked up at the cave in front of him.

Greed and unwillingness still prevailed.

“Alright, just one wave of attacks. If it doesn’t work, we’ll retreat immediately!”

After saying that, Li Yicheng scanned his surroundings and said to the players from the other teams, some he knew and some he didn’t, “My friends, I am Li Yicheng. Everyone has seen the strength of the Tyrants. Since we’re all here, instead of letting others take the fruits of our labor, why don’t we fight it out together? When we find the remains of the Vampire King, we’ll split the profits!”

“Alright. Li Yicheng, right? I’ll believe you!”

“We’ve always been loners, so we won’t join in on your plan.”

“Brother, the Tyrants don’t have good brains. We can send a few people to draw them away… Then, we can attack them directly…”

A small number of players immediately left the mountain range when they saw that the situation was not looking good. The remaining players gathered and tried to work together to lure the fusion Tyrant forms away so that they could continue to attack the cave on the mountain.

…

Fang Heng followed Maica back to the cave. The other two vampire Marquises also found an opportunity to retreat.

The three vampire Marquises were not in good condition and were all slightly injured.

In the central ritual area, Duke Zhao Tai’s entire body was immersed in a blood pool.

The heart of the vampire King attached to his body was still in a terrible state, but it was much more stable than before.

As for the sealed Vampire King’s left arm, it was still safely placed on the side of the altar.

Fang Heng looked at the sealed left arm and made up his mind. He walked forward and picked up the King’s arm, hanging it on his back.

The vampire elder was anxious. Seeing Maica returning with Fang Heng, he nodded, “Lord Marquis, we can’t wait any longer. The King’s heart needs to be transferred immediately.”

Another player hired by Old Black walked up and said, “Old Black has just arrived. He’s with the Federation at the foot of the mountain. The Federation’s elite inspection team is gathering here quickly. They’re very strong, so Old Black suggests that we evacuate as soon as possible.”

“Hmm…” Fang Heng agreed and turned around to look outside the cave. He immediately frowned.

Good Lord, the players were quite smart!

Taking advantage of the fact that Fang Heng was distracted and didn’t have time to control the fusion Tyrant forms, the players played some tricks. They sent a few players to draw away the fusion Tyrant forms, which weren’t very smart, while the rest of the players continued to rush to the cave.

The zombie clones’ brains weren’t good enough, so they could only accept some basic tasks.

Seeing this, the vampires in the cave became nervous again. The continuous battle had already greatly reduced their combat power.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Fang Heng had come with the Tyrants to support them, they might not have been able to hold on.

Maica sensed the low morale and snorted, “Tsk, raise your spirits. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll release the offering. At most, we’ll just die together. We can’t let those humans have an easy time!”

“Brother, it’s not to that extent. We haven’t reached a life-and-death situation yet,” Fang Heng steadied Maica’s emotions and walked to the front of the ritual stage, looking at the vampire elder.

“Carry out the ritual, I need to take the heart of the Vampire King.”

Upon hearing that, all the vampires looked at Fang Heng in surprise.

“What?” Maica was shocked beyond belief, “Nate, are you crazy?”

“Don’t worry, I have a way to control the power of the Vampire King’s heart. Although it may not last long, it’s enough to help us leave this place.”

Maica’s frown deepened.

A vampire from the Elder Council said, “But Lord Marquis, it takes time to carry out the ritual, and we don’t have enough blood to complete it either.”

Fang Heng looked at Maica and the others, “They should still be able to hold the players back for a while. The Tyrant forms outside will cooperate.”

“What about the blood? The blood?”

Fang Heng pursed his lips in the direction of the cave’s entrance and gestured to the players who were approaching the entrance that was halfway up the mountain, “Isn’t it fresh and ready?”

The three vampire Marquises frowned and looked at each other.

Fang Heng’s plan sounded a tad too idealistic.

Never mind whether he could get blood from the group of humans, he even wanted to control the power in the Vampire King’s heart? Was he sure that he won’t be controlled by the Vampire King’s power instead?

Except for Maica, it was the first time the other two met Fang Heng. They didn’t know him well, so they looked at Maica again.

“Nate, how confident are you?” Maica asked after some hesitation.

“You still don’t believe me?” Fang Heng shrugged his shoulders and said casually, “It’s quite steady. There’s no way I’ll screw up. besides, would I risk the future and glory of the vampires?”

Maica looked at Fang Heng from head to toe again. He felt that these words were very convincing.

As such, Maica clenched his jaw and said, “Let’s go! Let’s fight them to the death!”
