1241 Alive

“I refused.”

Tang Mo’s expression was serious as he roughly described the contents of his previous conversation with Salvador, “He kept us because he wanted to use us as a bargaining chip to blackmail Lord Fang Heng and Mingyue.”

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It was good that he had value. There was hope as long as he was alive!

Everyone present was a guild leader of a large guild, so their mental fortitude was far beyond ordinary people’s. After so many years of playing the game, they encountered more dangerous situations than this.

They also had some life-saving items on them. If they were given some time, they would have a good chance of escaping from here.

After all, outside the game, the think tank players were already thinking of ways to save everyone.

It would be a complete tragedy if they were killed just like that.

Tang Mo’s face was filled with resentment. He didn’t want to be a burden.

“Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself.”

Ed consoled softly, “We still have a chance. Lord Fang Heng has already sneaked into the underground palace of the Imperial City to collect information. By then, the feudal lords of the Empire and the various forces on the continent will know Salvador’s true color.”

“Lord Fang Heng? He’s in the underground palace too?”

Tang Mo thought of Fang Heng and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Salvador’s fear of Fang Heng had reached an extreme level during their previous conversation.

What kind of strange power did the Land of Plague have that could make Salvador so afraid?

While they were talking, a Vice President of the gaming union at the side let out a soft gasp.

“Eh?”

What’s wrong?

Ed looked at him with a questioning gaze.

The man said in a low voice, “There’s a change in the mission.”

Ed’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately opened the mission panel to check.

What?

Ed’s pupils shrank when he found the mission column and saw the completion rate.

What was going on?

There were no changes to the mission details of collecting Salvador’s crimes. Instead, the progress of the mission to explore the underground palace was increasing rapidly.

Within the time they were talking, the completion rate had increased by 5%!

The presidents of the other major guilds also noticed this strange scene and tried to communicate with each other with their eyes.

What had happened?

Didn’t Li Xue say that Lord Fang Heng infiltrated the underground palace to search for evidence of Salvador’s crimes? Why did he start exploring the underground palace again?

At this moment, Li Xue, who was giving orders offline, was also flustered.

What was going on?

Why did the mission of collecting evidence not change, but the completion rate of the underground palace exploration increased?

Moreover, the speed of completion was unexpectedly fast. It increased by 10% all of a sudden!

However, they didn’t know the exact situation in the underground palace.

Ever since he found out that Fang Heng and the others had successfully entered the underground palace, Wu Shijiang had completely lost contact with them.

What kind of unexpected situation did they encounter in the underground palace?

Everyone was extremely anxious.

Tang Mingyue and Lord Fang Heng were the most crucial members of the mission. If anything happened to them, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Supervisor.”

A player came online to report, “The Empire’s sword saint and the barbarians have had an intense conflict at the northern city entrance. Most of the Empire’s inner city patrol teams have gone over to support them. The remaining two patrol teams passed by the Hall of Divine Martial Arts. Our people found a way to sneak past them.”

“Yes, well done.”

Li Xue nodded her head.

In this way, they managed to buy some time for Fang Heng and the others.

The player hesitated and asked, “Do we need the people at the entrance of the Hall of Divine Martial Arts to go in and investigate?”

Li Xue frowned and thought for a moment before shaking her head, “There’s no need. Stay where you are and wait for orders. All we can do now is to trust them.”

….

In the underground palace’s passageway, Mo Jiawei lured the five infected mutated soldiers behind him and ran quickly along the passage.

When he saw Fang Heng and the rest from afar, Mo Jiawei shouted, “Mingyue! Help me!”

Seeing this, Tang Mingyue frowned. She held her breath and concentrated. She raised her hand and threw out dozens of icicles.

“Bang! Bang Bang!!!”

The dense icicles landed on the five infected mutated soldiers, instantly covering them with a layer of frost.

Affected by the frost, the speed of the infected mutated soldiers has been greatly reduced.

Sandy, who was hiding behind the team, saw Mo Jiawei bringing a large group of infected soldiers over. He was so frightened that he shouted, “I told you to lure them one by one? Why did you lure so many at once?”

Mo Jiawei shouted in response as he ran, “I didn’t want to either. I’ve been tricked!”

“It’s okay, I can handle it.”

Fang Heng was fighting with an infected mutated soldier. The bloodthirst thorn long sword in his hand was already red to the point of turning purple!

“Chi! Chi Chi!”

Fang Heng’s figure flashed in front of the infected mutated soldiers and at the same time, he slashed his sword forward.

Compared to before, the movements of the infected mutated soldiers on the opposite side were a little stiff. In front of Fang Heng, it was like a wooden stake that did not move at all.

“Chi! Chi Chi!”

A layer of red blood covered the bloodthirst thorn long sword, and when the sword was swung, it left an afterimage.

The additional skills of the vampires’ holy weapon, blood blade and afterimage, were activated at the same time!

One strike, two strikes, three strikes…

The speed of Fang Heng’s sword was so fast that it was hard to see clearly in the dark passage.

[Hint: You have dealt 810 points of damage to the infected mutated elite soldier of the Empire. The bloodthirst thorn has been passively activated. You have received 405 HP recovery and 0.3 agility attribute absorption.]

[Hint: You are in the blood shadow state. The blood shadow has performed an additional attack, causing 158 damage to the infected mutated elite soldier of the Empire. The bloodthirst thorn has been passively activated. You have received 79 HP recovery and 0.3 strength attribute absorbed…]

[Hint: You have dealt damage to the infected…]

The additional skill of the holy weapon of the vampires, the blood shadow combo slash, after each melee attack, the blood-red afterimages will trigger an additional 1/3 attack.

Although the additional attack would repeatedly deduct the enemy’s defense points, and the actual number of attacks was much less than expected, this attack could also trigger the bloodthirst thorn’s passive effect!

After figuring out the enemy’s attack mode, Fang Heng immediately came up with a countermeasure.

With the bloodthirst thorn’s special effect of extracting attributes, he continuously scraped and extracted attributes from the infected mutated soldiers.

With the continuous and concentrated attacks, the increase in his agility attribute increased more and more. The attack speed of his sword also became faster, and the attack output saw a gradual increase. The speed of attribute absorption also increased once again, entering a positive cycle!

The interval between the attacks of the infected mutated soldier, whose attributes were extracted by Fang Heng, became longer and longer until later on, he seemed to be struggling even to lift the heavy hammer.

Fang Heng slashed more than 20 times in a row before he realized that the infected mutated soldier had once again raised his heavy hammer and was ready to attack.

“BOOM!!”

The moment the heavy hammer fell, Fang Heng dodged to the right side of the infected mutated soldier in advance and raised his long sword again to attack wildly.

He went on to scrape the soldier continuously.

A series of red numbers appeared above the infected mutated soldier’s head.

He didn’t have to focus on the strength of the attack, as long as his attack left a shallow mark each time.

But even so, after thousands of continuous attacks, Fang Heng’s attack output had also increased greatly with the addition of his strength attribute!
