Chapter 1204 - 1204 Mutated Creature
1204 Mutated Creature
“Yes,”
Warren nodded and understood what Fang Heng meant.
He passed Andrast’s autobiography back to Sandy and said in a deep voice, “I’ll think about it after I’ve confirmed the internal safety of the Imperial mausoleum. Sydney will be back soon. I’ll take you out of here first.”
Fang Heng knew that he couldn’t push him too hard, so he said, “Alright, I’m the feudal lord of the Land of Plague, Fang Heng. Come and find us anytime.”
While they were talking, they had already reached the end of the passage.
The path ahead was once again blocked by a large bronze door.
“Be careful and stand behind me.”
Warren said as he stepped forward and pressed his hands on the bronze door.
The alchemy magic array on the bronze door was activated.
“Ka ka ka…”
The bronze door slowly moved to the right.
Behind the door was a familiar hall.
It was the place where they had fought with Sydney.
Fang Heng looked into the hall and found that there was no one there.
The strange thing was that the alchemy magic array in the center of the hall was still in operation, and it was constantly emitting blue light.
“There’s trouble.”
Seeing the operating alchemy magic array, Warren’s expression changed slightly. He hurried into the hall and pressed his hands on the magic array.
Seeing that there was something wrong with Warren’s expression, everyone quickly followed him and stood around him.
“What’s the matter?” Sandy could not help but ask.
“Not good! Quickly, leave this place!”
Warren had wanted to try to stop the operation of the alchemy magic array, but he realized that it was too late, so he simply stopped. After getting up, he did not have time to explain and immediately urged everyone to leave.
“Now! Immediately!”
Seeing this, Fang Heng frowned and said hurriedly, “Let’s go first!”
He quickly left through the passage he had come from and entered the familiar area of the abyssal stairs.
Fang Heng walked to the front of the team, passing through the raised platform, and began to run up the stone steps built by the rock wall.
Tang Mingyue asked, “Why are you in such a hurry, Mr. Warren? What was that magic array just now?”
“Sydney has always been guarding the Imperial mausoleum. He came here earlier than I did, so he knows the Imperial mausoleum better.”
“A long time ago, he mentioned to me that it was too dangerous to control the power of the ‘demonic seed’ directly. One’s mind would be eroded by the ‘demonic seed’. Even Her Majesty Andrast, who founded the entire Empire, could not completely avoid it and suffered a great backlash.”
“That’s why he has been thinking about how to use the power of the ‘demonic seed’ indirectly.”
Warren paused and said in a deep voice, “For example, find a way to control the monsters that are affected by the ‘demonic seed’.”
Sandy did not know what was going on, he frowned and asked in confusion, “You mean those dark serpents?”
He thought to himself, “It’s just a mutated dark serpent. Fang Heng has already killed so many of them. There’s no need for him to be so flustered.”
“No, it’s not just the dark serpent.”
Warren’s expression was very ugly.
In this endless abyss, there were creatures far more terrifying than the dark serpents!
Fang Heng listened to their conversation and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to ask questions, he suddenly heard a loud sound of something rubbing against the stone wall.
“Chi Chi… Chi Chi…”
The sound came from the bottom of the abyss!
Everyone also heard the sound and couldn’t help but look down at the endless abyss below the left side of the stone steps.
What was that?
In the darkness, everyone could vaguely see a huge shadow sticking to the wall and making a loud “Chi Chi” sound.
“BOOM!!”
Before anyone could see clearly, a giant-sized brown worm directly stuck to the wall and scuttled past them!
The abyssal worm!
The worm’s body was extremely huge. It was more than three meters wide and dozens of meters long. Most of it was hidden in the darkness of the abyss below, so it was impossible to see its entire length!
It was stuck closely to the rock wall not far to the right of the group!
There was actually a person standing on the head of the worm.
Sydney!
No!
He wasn’t standing!
Fang Heng stared at Sydney with deep fear in his eyes.
He could clearly see that the lower half of Sydney’s body had fused with the worm!
Sydney slowly turned his head and looked at Warren.
The alchemy runes in his eyes were spinning rapidly, and blood was oozing out of them.
“Warren, you’ve disappointed me.”
“So, you’ve never given up on this experiment.”
“Hahahahaha!!”
Sydney’s face revealed a crazy look, and he laughed, “What else? What do you think I’ve been staying here for? A ridiculous promise? Or is it the reverence for imperial power?”
Without waiting for Warren to speak, Sydney answered first, “It’s the desire for power! It was the pursuit of eternal life! What do you mortals know? I’m the true heaven’s will inheritor!”
“Sydney,” Warren said with a deep voice, frowning. “Don’t let the ‘demonic seed’ control your mind.”
“Ha, you’re still the same as before. You don’t know anything, so naïve that it makes me want to laugh.”
Sydney shook his head and did not want to say more, his face showing a look of regret.
“I was hoping that you could stay here and help me guard the Imperial mausoleum. Since you’ve made your choice, then all of you can’t leave. Stay here and rest with the late Emperor for eternity!”
“Chi!!”
The giant abyssal worm immediately climbed up the rock wall under Sydney’s command!
“Enjoy it! You’ll be the first sacrifice of the abyssal worm after its rebirth, and you’ll be honored.”
At the same time, a game prompt flashed on the retina of Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue.
[Hint: The player’s team’s main storyline trial mission-the inheritance of the Empire’s ancestors has triggered the next phase of the mission.]

“Quickly retreat! Go back to the platform! Hide!”
Fang Heng shouted at Sandy and Tang Mingyue who were unable to fight. He immediately put his hands together in front of his chest and stared at Sydney, who was rushing towards them.
“Swish!”
The Shrine of Bones was floating in front of him.
“Bang!!”
In an instant, his lifeblood exploded and a wave spread rapidly in all directions!
“Oh…”
Sydney’s hair, which was growing on the head of the giant worm, was blowing in the air, but he still maintained his posture of charging forward.
Sydney saw the scarlet reflection behind Fang Heng, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes.
No matter what it was, everything would be completely crushed under the impact of the abyssal worm!
As his lifeblood exploded in all directions, the Vampire King’s reflection condensed behind Fang Heng and raised his fist to meet the worm’s body.
