Chapter 2017 Shock
“Chi! Chi chi chi!”
Gu Qingzhu swept across the air with several sword auras. The two players at the forefront didn’t dare to be careless and immediately dodged to the side.
“Humph!”
After several attacks without gaining any advantage, Gu Qingzhu unleashed another wave of sword auras and then swiftly dodged to the right.
Huh? Running away?!
So decisive?
The Fox Hunting Squad players would not let her go so easily. They immediately chased after Gu Qingzhu.
Ji Shaojie’s heart skipped a beat. He felt that something was amiss. However, when he saw that everyone had already started to chase after her, he immediately gave chase as well. However, he still maintained extreme vigilance and paid attention to the changes in his surroundings.
“Haha!”
Gu Qingzhu sneered disdainfully as she fled at full speed.
She once again unleashed a long-range sword energy attack. After completing a round of skill pouring, she quickly turned around and fled.
“D*mn it!”
“Chase after her! Let’s see how far she can escape!”
“The sword qi consumes a lot of energy. She won’t be able to hold on for long!”
“Let’s take revenge for our fallen comrades!”
The entire Team A of the Fox Hunting Squad had been completely wiped out by Gu Qingzhu yesterday. Now that they met up with their enemy, they became particularly resentful. Stirred up by Gu Qingzhu, it was evident that they’d lost their composure and are eager to pursue her once again!
“Wait!!”
Ji Shaojie thought of something and shouted to stop them from continuing their pursuit.
However, the Fox Hunting Squad did not listen to Ji Shaojie’s command and continued to pursue her.
Ji Shaojie could not help but frown. He sped up and flew in front of the Fox Hunting Squad.
Walter, the Captain of the Fox Hunting Squad, asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Why is Mr. Ji stopping us? Can’t you see that she can’t hold on any longer?!”
Anyone could tell that Gu Qingzhu’s attack which did not consume any energy would not last long.
In front of them was another large plain area. There were no ambushes visible to the naked eye.
So why not continue the pursuit?
Without waiting for Ji Shaojie to explain, the deputy leader of the Federation, Tal, said in a deep voice, “Everyone, please calm down. Gu Qingzhu is alone and her appearance at this time is extremely coincidental. From the looks of it, she is most likely stalling for time.”
Ji Shaojie nodded and said, “Everyone, please calm down. Our mission this time is to seize the dragon soul crystal. We’ll find the dragon soul crystal first and slowly settle the score with Gu Qingzhu later!”
“Humph! Then we’ll do as you say!”
With Tal’s reminder, the Fox Hunting Squad finally calmed down. They stopped chasing Gu Qingzhu and continued to chase after the source of the dragon soul crystal’s aura.
Gu Qingzhu frowned when she saw that the people behind her were no longer chasing after her.
This was troublesome.
Unfortunately, at the moment, she had yet to fully recover from yesterday’s backlash and was unable to enter her explosive state again. She was unable to stop Miyamoto Teru’s men.
Gu Qingzhu gritted her teeth and followed behind the team from afar.
Ji Shaojie and the others could sense Gu Qingzhu following behind them.
But there was no better way for now. They could only ignore her for the time being and continue moving forward.
Soon, they saw a large area covered in blood. The pungent smell of blood rushed straight into their brain through the nostrils.
Vampires?!
What was going on?
It wasn’t like this when they came yesterday.
Why did the place become like this?
Hundreds of bats were circling in the air and the entire area had been shrouded in a hellish blood-red color.
Everyone descended silent.
Tal’s gaze gradually fell on the hill in the distance and he said in a deep voice, “Over there! That coffin!”
Coffin!
Everyone looked at the coffin on the hill. On the ground ahead, a giant-sized alchemy magic array appeared. In the center of the alchemy magic array levitated a large coffin. A large amount of blood was levitating in mid-air, continuously pouring into the coffin, emitting a hissing sound.
Above the coffin, a red umbrella-like structure, spreading out about several dozen meters, was constantly undulating. It was all formed by the congealed blood, like a blood umbrella!
Ji Shaojie stared intensely at that eerie coffin. Within that vast expanse of blood, there contained a significant portion of the dragon soul crystal’s power.
However, after the blood entered the coffin and evaporated, the power of the dragon soul crystal could no longer be felt.
Ji Shaojie furrowed his brows as he realized something.
The vampires were using a special method to convert the power of the dragon soul crystal!
Compared to yesterday, he could sense that two-thirds of the dragon soul crystal’s power had dissipated!
What exactly was the origin of that coffin? How could it even convert and absorb the power of the holy weapon, the dragon soul crystal?
Everyone else also sensed that the situation was not good.
There seemed to be some kind of life inside the coffin.
No matter what, they couldn’t let it continue!
“Everyone, let’s go together and stop them!”
“Go!”
The thirty-plus members of the party immediately charged towards the coffin of the Vampire King!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!
The vampires who were hovering in the air immediately returned to their human forms and attacked the intruders!
A dense number of blood-colored bombs bombarded the players below!
Defensive shields spread out around the players.
All the players who were qualified to participate in the dragon soul crystal recapture mission were top-notch!
The players’ goal was clear: the coffin of the Vampire King!
Everyone quickly passed through the gaps between the blood-colored bombs!
If they couldn’t avoid it, they would have to rely on their shields to resist!
Not good!
Gu Qingzhu, who was at the back of the team, frowned when she saw this. She immediately joined the battle from the back and tried to stop Ji Shaojie’s group!
In mid-air, Prince Carl saw that the long-range attacks were not effective, so he immediately led the vampires to engage in close combat!
“Get lost!”
Seeing that Gu Qingzhu had once again emerged at the back and forcefully intervened to stop them, the players were even more convinced that there was something wrong with the coffin of the Vampire King!
Tal shouted, “I’ll hold them back! You guys destroy that coffin first!”
The Federation players in the team immediately split up and quickly attacked the vampires and Gu Qingzhu who were chasing after them.
Ji Shaojie and the rest of the Fox Hunting Squad quickly approached the coffin!
It was getting closer!
Destroy it!
As the Vampire King’s coffin loomed ahead, Ji Shaojie swung his cleaver forward with great force!
“Bang!!!”
The weapon struck the coffin with a dull thud!
The coffin was intact.
Oh no!
Ji Shaojie frowned and swore inwardly.
Due to the special restrictions of the game and the portal, they could not use their backpacks or carry items through the portal. Therefore, the weapons in their hands were all inferior goods obtained from the camp established by Miyamoto Teru’s team.
Clearly, the coffin before them was no ordinary object.
Without the assistance of a weapon, he could not break the coffin directly!
“Continue! Attack him!”
Ji Shaojie yelled and swung the long saber at the coffin again.
“Let’s see how long you can last!”
The remaining players broke free from the entanglement of the vampires behind them and gathered around. They lifted their weapons and attacked the Vampire King’s coffin crazily!
Bang! Bang! Bang!!! ????????ν????????????i????.????????????
The Vampire King’s coffin’s HP started to decrease!
“It’s effective!”
Seeing this, the players wielded their weapons with all their might.
