With the addition of the three heroes, the pace of the battle was quickening.

The Blood Hunter, leading the charge with outstretched bat wings, pierced through an enemy’s body with a longsword before they could emerge from the pile of arrows.

Fireblade and Anjia followed closely behind, with Fireblade’s flaming longsword and Anjia’s Tiger’s Claw, they killed the enemies filled with arrows. The whole battle was not as tough as Fang Hao had imagined.

It was even much easier than facing a group of Corpse Ghosts.

There was no loss of personnel.

Four bodies were pulled out from the pile of arrow shafts. This time, unlike the Corpse Ghosts, they did not disintegrate into ashes but were completely preserved.

“Clear the battlefield and collect all the arrows,” Fang Hao commanded loudly.

The skeleton warriors began working, collecting the arrows. The arrows embedded in the bodies of the four Blood Clan members were also removed, leaving dense wounds and dark, viscous red blood seeping out.

They quickly cleaned up the battlefield.

Soon, the spoils of war on the battlefield were collected.

Weapons used by Corpse Ghosts, human gold coins, keys.

102 Death Traces, 3 Bloodstones, and 85 Shadowstones.

This was quite a decent harvest. With these Shadowstones, he could upgrade the buildings of the Undead faction when he went back.

A golden treasure chest was then discovered and brought to Fang Hao.

He opened the treasure chest.

[Obtain: Fortress blueprint, bronze coffin manufacturing blueprint, noble cane sword manufacturing blueprint, 12 Bloodstones, and 117 Warfire Coins.]

The harvest from the golden treasure chest was substantial.

Building blueprints and production blueprints also appeared.

Among them was a blueprint for a bronze coffin, which meant he was one step closer to conducting funerals.

Viewing blueprint properties.

[Category: Building Blueprint]

(Description: Fixed military facilities that can be built in key places of strategic passes and frontier cities for stationing troops and setting up checkpoints.) [Construction requirements: 3000 units of wood, 2000 units of stone, 1500 stone bricks, 500 iron, 120 metal parts.]

The purpose of a fortress doesn’t need much explanation.

The city where Fireblade is stationed is currently serving the function of a fortress.

It is garrisoned with a large number of troops, guarding against the Skullcrusher Tribe in the northeast and also protecting the Bronze Bull’s Manim Market.

If there is an attack, that will be the first battlefield.

If Manim comes under attack, it can also provide rapid support, rather than having to rush from the main city.

Therefore, the use of a fortress is very important.

Even without any attacks, a fortress can also serve as a checkpoint to the main city, inspecting teams going to and from the main city, increasing internal security in the territory.

This building blueprint can indeed be very practical.

[Bronze Coffin for Nurturing the Dead (Purple): 10 copper, 5 copper plates, 10 hard-resistant wood, 6 thick leather, 20 cotton, 10 fine cloths, 2 Death Traces.]

(Description: A special coffin made by the Eternal Night Clan to better preserve bodies under special circumstances, and nourish its user’s spiritual power.) This isn’t the first time Fang Hao has acquired a coffin for nurturing the dead.

The one he obtained this time was a copper coffin, which also consumes a large amount of material.

It can be used under special circumstances.

Just as he thought, in the sunless cavity of this mountain, wooden coffins would have rotted away long ago.

[Noble Cane Sword (Blue): 2 hard-resistant wood, 3 iron, 3 cast iron blocks.]

(Description: Be wary of the canes in the hands of hypocrites, or another hole might appear on your body.)

Not bad. It’s a blue weapon, and it does not require much material.

After storing the spoils of war, Fang Hao and the others continued on to the next bronze door.

He turned the key and directly opened the door.

As the door opened, the Nightstones in everyone’s hands began to dim gradually.

This was a more spacious area.

There was no stone bed from the previous area, nor any enemies and coffins. Above the space was a round copper mirror, tilted downwards. Carved around the mirror were patterns resembling sunlight, and on those patterns were four pieces of Solar Essence.

The copper mirror was shining a beam of sunlight on a stone platform standing in the center of the space.

Atop the stone platform was a shriveled, gray-white heart.

Surrounding the space were walls covered in painted designs. There was no copper door leading to the next space. Presumably, this was the final space in the ancient tomb.

“Damn, what in the world is this now?” Fang Hao cursed.

The current scene was more bizarre than simply having two enemies standing in front of them.

The sun shining on a heart?

After so many years, the copper doors were covered in rust, even air-dried meat should have turned to dust by now.

“What, what is that?” Anjia craned her neck, straining to see what was ahead.

“It looks like a heart.” Fang Hao guessed.

“Who could be so cruel to dig out a person’s heart and then leave it hanging like that?”

Fang Hao didn’t respond to Anjia, instead he summoned another skeleton and said, “Walk around the room.”

Upon receiving the instruction, the Skeleton Warrior casually strolled around the room with its sword and shield, then returned to Fang Hao’s side.

Not a single movement occurred in the room, neither enemies nor traps made an appearance.

“Walk around two more times.”

The skeleton went in again, made two more laps around the room. In the meantime, Fang Hao also had him tap on the walls, or move around some of the burial accessories.

Everything was still quiet; not a single change had occurred.

Could it be that there was no guardian assigned to this tomb?

After several checks, with no changes discovered, Fang Hao finally gave more orders.

“Do not touch the heart, but take out all the other burial objects.”

All the skeleton soldiers outside the room entered and began removing the burial objects.

Time had eroded the cloth and paintings, but some gold and silver articles were still well preserved.

Fang Hao went to the side to examine the designs on the wall.

The appearance of the Blood Stone and the warriors from the Blood Clan confirmed a certain connection with vampires.

However, the raised patterns drawn on the walls depicted human life and rituals.

Agriculture, weaving, as well as other everyday activities.

It wasn’t as if the Blood Clan didn’t do these things, but in the overall design, a dazzling sun had been painted at the top.

If this were a place occupied by the Blood Clan, why would they deliberately show daylight and the sun?

This puzzled Fang Hao.

Crack!

Just as Fang Hao was earnestly analyzing the contents of the raised drawings, a crisp sound came from above.

Fearing a collapse, Fang Hao quickly looked in the direction of the sound.

In the center, one skeleton was standing on the shoulders of another, a huge round copper mirror now in its hands, and it was striving to dig out the Solar Essence next to the mirror.

Fang Hao’s heart tightened.

He immediately looked nervously at the heart on the stone platform in the center below.

Thump!!

That shriveled heart twitched slightly.

So did Fang Hao’s.

“Quick, get out, Anjia, get out first,” Fang Hao shouted loudly.

As a living creature, Anjia, in certain situations, was easier to harm than the undead.

Everyone hastily left the room.

Meanwhile, outside the door, the bodies of the four “Twilight Revelers’ who were already dead began to shake violently.

Thick, syrup-like blood gushed from their wounds, flowing towards the heart in the chamber.
