The exhibition hall building was plunged into darkness. The pillar of light rising from the inside of the exhibition hall had become extremely dim, as if it could be extinguished at any time.
Shelley frowned.
She realized that the problem might not be as simple as she had imagined.
After activating the city’s large-scale magic array, the entire exhibition hall should be in a state of lockdown. Why was there no one on duty here?
Furthermore, there was a backup power source inside the exhibition hall. Why was there no light?
Could it be…
The exhibition hall had been attacked?
Shelley raised her hand to signal for the team to maintain their battle formation.
“Scout.”
A small team of holy cast knights received the order and quickly entered the hall. Soon after, they retreated.
“Judge, there are traces of blood and fighting in the hall. However, we did not find any enemies.”
“Take a few people and stay here. The rest of you, follow me!”
The pillar of light was in imminent danger. Shelley was concerned about the situation of the magic array, so she immediately brought people into the building to investigate the central node of the magic array.
After entering the building, the team formed a combat reconnaissance formation and went to the sealed position of the second basement on high alert.
The team had just arrived at the entrance through the passage when Shelley frowned and extended her hand to signal for the team to stop moving.
She sniffed.
This was strange.
The smell of vampires was mixed with a weak undead aura.
Why was there a weak undead aura?
The direction of the aura came from…
Shelley was trying to sense the exact location of the undead aura when suddenly, she heard a sizzling sound.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
Everyone heard the sizzling sound that was rapidly approaching.
Immediately after, in the darkness, patches of grayish-brown life forms emerged from all directions.
Shelley was stunned.
ghouls!?
When she thought of the undead aura that she had sensed not long ago, the first thing that appeared in Shelley’s mind was this undead creature that was in the records of the Holy Church!
It was actually a ghoul!?
Sizzle sizzle sizzle…
The ghouls in the darkness quickly approached and surrounded everyone in the middle.
Shelley frowned.
Her mission was to repair the magic array, so there were not many holy cast knights on the team. Instead, there were a large number of priests from the Holy Church.
The Holy Court quickly adjusted its formation.
The holy cast knights were in the front row, surrounding the priest team at the back in the center.
Shelley thought, maintaining her composure.
Ghouls were filthy creatures from the death realm. Normal attacks could not kill them. The strength of the holy attribute could drive them out of evolution, and the priests of the Holy Church were very good at driving them out.
But judging from their performance just now, these ghouls moved very fast. It seemed like they had been mutated.
…
At the entrance of the exhibition hall, there were three holy cast knights who stayed behind to guard the surroundings.
“Chi Chi…”
There was a slight sound.
The holy cast knight turned his head warily and looked at the corner.
“Eh?”
He saw a grayish-brown shadow quickly flash past in front of him.
The holy cast knight shouted, “Who is it? Stop!”
The next moment, Fang Heng jumped down from the second floor and swung his staff forward.
“Bang!!”
Spider-web-like cracks appeared on the Holy Light armor on the two holy cast knights’ chests, and they were sent flying by Fang Heng’s iron rod at the same time!
“Bang!!”
As soon as they landed on the ground and before they could stabilize themselves, five or six black shadows dashed out from the darkness and quickly dragged the two holy cast knights.
The screams of the holy cast knights could be heard in the darkness.
The remaining holy cast knights were stunned and immediately shouted, “Judge! We have been attacked!”
How dare he call for help?
Fang Heng frowned, stepped forward and waved the iron rod in his hand again.
“Bang!!”
The iron rod hit the shoulder of the holy cast knight.
The holy cast knight did not care and directly fell into the exhibition hall behind him with the force of the impact.
Seeing his two teammates being dragged into the darkness, the holy cast knights were extremely shocked.
What kind of strange creatures were those?
They were too terrifying!
He had to immediately inform the judge to let them be careful.
After falling heavily to the ground, the holy cast knight tried to stand up with one hand, but his expression suddenly changed.
In the hall, on the ground, and on the ceiling, there were these terrifying creatures everywhere!
They were gathering in front of them.
Only then did the holy cast knight realize that Judge Shelley had long been surrounded by these terrifying creatures!
They were currently engaged in a bitter battle!
“Chi Chi Chi…”
In an instant, three Licker heard the sound and rushed towards him.
[Hint: Your zombie clone has killed the holy cast knight. You have obtained 36 mission contribution points, 22 vampire reputation points, and 192 survival points… ]
[Hint: Your zombie clone (Licker) has received purification damage. It has died…].
After getting rid of the three holy cast knights who were guarding the door, Fang Heng glanced at the game hint. He frowned and looked at the interior of the exhibition hall where the battle was ongoing.
“Licker has been purified?”
Shelley’s team relied on the holy cast knights at the periphery to block the Lickers. The priests at the rear began to cast purification skills to continuously purify and expel the ghouls.
Hmmm..
Purification was a type of spell damage, so it could kill Licker with the undying body.
So, the court and the others bumped into each other by accident?
Fang Heng scratched his head.
It seemed that the court’s side was not at a disadvantage, but in fact, Shelley was under extreme pressure.
Sweat kept dripping down her face.
These ghouls were too tenacious!
Only when they were constantly suppressed by the holy cast knights could they slowly purify the ghouls.
The whole process was too time-consuming!
The priests of the Holy Church not only had to continue to bless the holy cast knights and help consolidate their Holy Light armor but also had to focus on dealing with the ghouls and purifying them.
If anything went wrong in the middle and the ghouls escaped, all their previous efforts would be in vain!
Up until now, after tangling with the ghouls for so long, they had only purified three Licker.s
Shelley felt that her team was now standing on the edge of the cliff. If they were not careful, they would fall into the endless abyss.
On the side, Fang Heng was also frowning.
They had really encountered trouble.
The main reason was that there were not enough Lickers. They were unable to directly break through the periphery of the turtle shell of the holy cast knights.
This directly caused the Lickers to begin to lose members.
If this continued, the group of Lickers would become fewer and fewer.
That would not do.
There was still a solution.
And it was not difficult.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and took out Ding Min’s specially made sniper rifle from his backpack.
The scope was aimed at a priest who was performing purification on a Licker.
He pulled the trigger steadily.
“Bang!”
A gunshot rang out.
The priest who was performing purification was like a live target. His head was steadily shot by Fang Heng. The Licker who was undergoing purification also immediately broke free from its restraints and quickly fled into the darkness to recover its HP.
[Hint: You have killed a priest of the Holy Church. You have received 10 mission contribution points. You have received 12 vampire reputation points. You have received 32 survival points. You have received Tier 1 evolution crystal*1.]
