1349 Reckless
âI think in the beginning, the initial form of the demonic seed went through some fortuitous encounters. Perhaps in order to survive better, the demonic seed fused with the Power of Foulness and from there formed the abyssal demon.â
âNow that the Power of Foulness in the current environment has been absorbed by the sacred tree, the abyssal demon is greatly restrained. In order to survive, the âdemonic seedâ has instinctively mutated again, changing its current state and abandoning its original fusion with the Power of Foulness.â
Qiu Yaokang concluded, âSo, the round-shaped object in front of you should be a more primitive version of the âdemonic seedâ virus.â
Fang Heng finally understood and asked, âAnd then? What should I do? How can we get rid of it?â
âDonât get close. This kind of unstable mutation is too dangerous. You can try using your blood!â
Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng and said in a deep voice, âYour blood has a strong restraining ability against creatures of the same origin. Try and see if your blood has any effect and can weaken its power.â
Thatâs right! Blood!
After Qiu Yaokangâs reminder, Fang Heng also understood. He nodded and raised his right hand high up in the air, then slashed his right wrist with the knife.
Blood dripped down his wrist.
âChi⊠Buzz!â
The moment the blood came into contact with the round log, there was a violent reaction!
Ripples appeared on the log as if it was dripping on water. At the same time, it made a sizzling sound.
In just an instant, the log returned to its original state.
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows. Just as he felt that this move did not seem to work, a line of game prompts appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player has used a special method to attack the abyssal demon.]
[Hint: Judgment in progressâŠ]

The capital of the empire, Atama.
âSpeed up! Weâre almost there! Hold on a little longer!â
Looking at the towering city walls that were gradually revealed in front of them, Xiao Yun gritted his teeth and urged the team to move forward again.
In front of them, the city gates of the Empireâs main city, Atama, gradually opened.
Two beautifully decorated light cavalry rushed over from the city. They walked to the front of the army and shouted at the army, âCommander Xiao Yun! His Majesty has a secret order! Please listen to my orders immediately!â
Xiao Yun cupped his fists and urged, âSpeak!â
Hearing this, Xiao Yun frowned and immediately exchanged glances with Gernot, the arbitrator of the Council of Elders.
They both saw the surprise in each otherâs eyes.
Did Tang Wu already make arrangements in the main city?!
Was that why he had them rush back to Atama?
Was this a trap?
In order to lure the enemy into a trap, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of so many elite soldiers of the EmpireâŠ
How ruthless.
But what kind of trap was it?
He could even completely eliminate the pursuers brought by Tang Mingyue?
Xiao Yun frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
The messenger urged, âCommander, hurry up and receive the order!â
âYes! Yes!â
At this point, Xiao Yun could only suppress the suspicion and unhappiness in his heart. He waved his hand, âAll armies, listen up and follow me into the city!â
âYes!â
The warhorses neighed as the army quickly entered the city.
At the back, Younica led the team of players in pursuit of Xiao Yun and the others.
Younica had been maintaining a specific rhythm in her pursuit.
They wouldnât be too slow and let Xiao Yunâs army run away, nor would they force them into a desperate fight. They would slowly nibble away at the enemyâs effective strength at the smallest cost.
When they reached the city of Atama, Younica noticed that Xiao Yunâs army no longer sent people to stop them. Instead, they sped up and rushed into the capital city of the empire, Atama. She felt uneasy.
The situation didnât seem right.
Atama City was the Empireâs last line of defense. It was even the capital city, so it should be heavily guarded.
But now, it seemed that the cityâs defense was extremely weak.
Was he luring the enemy in?
Thinking about the strange behavior of Xiao Yunâs army, Younica became even more suspicious. She chose to be cautious and immediately ordered the players to gather and then she command the team to move forward slowly.
Soon, the upper echelons of the various guilds gathered together to discuss.
âLi Xueâs team has already analyzed the feasibility of the battle. There arenât many troops gathered in the city. Iâm afraid Tang Wu has already given up. This is our chance. We can take the city by force and take it away in one wave.â
âNo, the Empireâs army isnât mobilized, but it doesnât mean that thereâs no danger. I heard that Tang Wuâs strange behavior hasnât been discovered in the city. Itâs very likely that heâs already left Atama in advance. We canât rule out the possibility that heâs set a trap in the city.â
âWhat kind of trap can be set up in such a short time? Do you think they can kill us all?â
âYou canât say that. If we suffer great losses, even if we forcefully attack the cityâŠâ
The situation in the city ahead was unclear. The players quickly split into two camps and discussed in low voices.
Ed hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and interrupted, âEveryone, now is the best time to attack. Thereâs no time to continue discussing. Any decision has risks. If we delay any longer, Iâm afraid Tang Wu will transport the Empireâs holy artifact elsewhere.â
âThatâs right. Everyoneâs worries are reasonable. However, we donât have time to make more detailed plans now.â
Younica nodded in agreement. She gathered everyoneâs attention and said in a deep voice, âWe need to make a decision immediately whether to attack or defend.â
Faced with such a major decision, everyone fell silent and then turned to look at Tang Mingyue.
The leader of the empire, Tang Mingyue, was the only one who was most suitable to make this decision.
Tang Mingyue was a little hesitant when she saw this. She couldnât help but look at the towering city wall in front of her.
Trap?
It did look like it.
Tang Mingyue pursed her lips and couldnât make up her mind.
Choose one out of two.
Which one was better?
Tang Mingyue became even more hesitant. She thought that this decision was of great importance. If only Fang Heng was here for such a troublesome matter.
Right, if Fang Heng was here, what would he choose?
Tang Mingyueâs eyes immediately became determined when she thought of Fang Heng.
There was no need to ask. Fang Hengâs answer would definitely be enough!
Who cares! Greed!
Tang Mingyue immediately said in a deep voice, âEveryone, listen to my command and attack together! Seize Atama! Attack!â
âYes!â
The player teams were excited. They agreed in unison and rushed into the city again.
At this time, in the Imperial City, Xiao Yun left his soldiers to rest outside the inner city. He was led by a guard into the inner city.
Along the way, the scene he saw in the royal family made him somewhat suspicious.
What was going on?
Only a few dozen guards remained with the royal family.
