983 Bet On It

Maica, who had been staying not far from Fang Heng, was shocked.

In the beginning, he had been extremely anxious, thinking about how to help the Prince out of this situation.

He didn’t expect that Fang Heng’s strength would advance by leaps and bounds after just not seeing the latter for a few days!

And that move just now… There was no mistake! It was the power of the Vampire King!

Therefore, Fang Heng really didn’t lie to him! He was the true successor to the Vampire King!

Maica was excited and walked out from behind the rock.

He had just taken two steps forward when he noticed the Holy Light attribute scepter in Fang Heng’s hand.

Eh? That weapon… Something’s not right…

What’s with the scepter in Fang Heng’s hand?

No matter how he looked at it, it was something from the Holy Court.

Could vampires use items from the Holy Court?

Maica was once again in self-doubt, and his relaxed steps became heavy again.

Fang Heng saw Maica staring at the scepter in his hand suspiciously, so he simply nodded and explained, “It’s the loot I got when I annihilated the Holy Court in District 8.”

“Oh…” Maica replied, but he still found it strange.

This didn’t seem to be the main point, right?

Joel flew down from mid-air and stopped in front of Fang Heng.

He had also sensed that Fang Heng had used the power of the Vampire King and found it strange. Now, seeing the strange mask on Fang Heng’s face, he couldn’t help but be suspicious, “Who are you?”

“Your Highness, he is Fang Heng,” Maica took half a step forward and said.

Fang Heng?

Joel’s expression and the aura around him changed abruptly as he stared at Fang Heng.

“Wait, Your Highness, please listen to my explanation.”

Maica immediately repeated Fang Heng’s explanation about the inheritance of the Vampire King to Joel.

After hearing the story, Prince Joel stood still and glanced at Fang Heng from time to time, falling into deep thought.

The person in front of him was the true heir to the Vampire King?

Was Jian Muzhi a liar?

Joel had always stood firmly on Jian Muzhi’s side. He had never doubted the latter.

But now…

He didn’t see how Fang Heng defeated Liu Chenzhi just now, but he did sense the power of the Vampire King’s phantom.

Along with Maica’s words, Joel’s suspicion of Jian Muzhi grew.

Could there be a problem with Jian Muzhi?

After thinking about it again and again, Joel trusted Jian Muzhi more from the bottom of his heart.

Joel raised his head and looked at Fang Heng, “I don’t know what method you used to temporarily borrow the King’s power. Unless you really let me see the Vampire King’s coffin with my own eyes, I won’t believe your words before that.”

Joel’s tone was hostile, but Fang Heng was pleasantly surprised.

In other words, as long as he opened the game passage and let the other party see the blood coffin with his own eyes, the Prince would surrender, right?

Good! He had gotten the Prince too!

“Don’t worry, you’ll see it soon,” Fang Heng suppressed the excitement in his heart and nodded, saying, “Then follow me.”

“Follow you? To where?”

“To look for a place to set up a magic array to open a passage back to the world of the vampires, of course. Didn’t you want to see it with your own eyes? It’ll be quick.”

Joel didn’t expect that Fang Heng would really leave immediately. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Maica, “Maica, you go with him and tell me the result of the verification. I’ll stay here.”

Fang Heng was surprised. He frowned and said, “It will take at least an hour to set up the magic array. The people of the Federation will soon return with reinforcements. Are you still going to stay here and wait for your death?”

“Hmph,” Joel snorted heavily, “Just them?”

“We just encountered a Federation’s A-level investigation team. From the information I received, there are a total of eight A-level teams participating in this operation, as well as an even higher-ranked quasi-S-level team. If they all rush over to help, then…”

Joel was silent.

They were in big trouble. To think there were seven more of such troublesome teams from the Federation!

Fang Heng’s lips curled as he thought about how to trick Joel into going with him.

“You’re staying here to protect the cave?”

Joel didn’t answer. The look of vigilance on his face intensified.

Fang Heng took a few steps forward, “Jian Muzhi asked you to protect the cave, right? Why don’t you let me go into the cave and see what he is up to?”

“No,” Joel refused immediately.

In the cave was a magic array that Mr. Jian had carefully set up. Before he came, he had received an order that even if he died, he could not let the Federation invade.

It was true that Fang Heng had just saved him, but he still couldn’t determine the other party’s identity.

What if he was an enemy and destroyed Mr. Jian’s plan?

Joel didn’t dare to take the risk.

Maica pondered for a moment and was about to speak up for Fang Heng when not far away, two high-tier vampires flew over from the other side of the passage, turned into human form, and knelt on one knee.

“Your Highness, those humans haven’t left. They’re still at the entrance and it looks like they’re trying to block the road.”

“Heh, foolish humans. They think they can seal us like this?” Joel sneered in disdain, he turned to Maica and said, “Keep an eye on him. Take him to another place to set up the magic array and confirm his identity. I’ll go and delay those humans for a while.”

After saying that, Joel followed the two high-tier vampires to provide support.

Fang Heng frowned, hesitating if he should give chase.

Forget it, he couldn’t stop Joel even if he caught up with the latter.

The other party’s life-saving ability was extremely strong, so he should be able to hold on for a while. He had to quickly think of another way.

In just a few minutes, only Fang Heng and Maica were left.

Fang Heng looked at Maica.

Maica also cast an inquiring look at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng said, “How long do you think Joel can hold off those humans? Ten minutes? Twenty minutes? Or an hour? We won’t be able to complete the magic array in such a short time.”

Seeing that Maica was still undecided, Fang Heng spread out his hands, “At this point, why don’t you bet on believing me? For the future and glory of the vampires…”

“F*ck!” Maica gritted his teeth and cursed, “Fine! I’ll bet on it! What do you want?”

“Take me to the cave. I want to know what Jian Muzhi is up to.”

“Okay. There are restrictions around the cave. Follow me.”

Maica then led Fang Heng into the cave.

…

On the other side of the cave, Li Ru quickly retreated with her injured companions and quickly assembled with the team from the Federation’s operations department.

Liu Chenzhi finally woke up after some emergency treatment.

He tried to move his fingers, and a heart-wrenching pain came.

His physical condition was terrible.

Liu Chenzhi was still in shock. If it were not for the amazing defense abilities of the holy skills, he would have died at the hands of the masked vampire.

“That monster… Does anyone know his identity?”

Everyone on the team shook their heads.

“Captain, the two closest teams have come to support us. How do you feel?”

“I’m afraid I won’t be able to fight for a while,” Liu Chenzhi shook his head and continued, “The mysterious man just now used an instant burst skill. I guess he’s not that strong himself. Such a powerful skill should have a cooldown time or some other restrictions. We’ll block the passage and don’t let them come out. Then, we’ll wait for reinforcements.”

“Yes!”

After a discussion, the team decided to stay where they were and completely seal off the entrance of the passage with the Federation’s operations department who had come with reinforcements.
