976 The Passageway Seeing the notification, Fang Heng’s pupils contracted slightly and he made connections instantly. The cave was actually the former dwelling place of the Vampire King? There were rumors in the outside world that the Vampire King had escaped from the holy realm to a mysterious world. He then left the mysterious world and was chased all the way to this world. After that, the Vampire King was sealed by the judges from the holy realm who were after his life. Now that he learned that the Vampire King had once lived in this cave for some time, could it be that there were some hidden secrets in the cave? Did Jian Muzhi discover something in the cave in advance? What was he trying to do with these incantations? Fang Heng observed the magic array for a moment, then looked up at the top of the rock wall. There were a few black holes on the rock wall. The holes weren’t big, probably enough for a child to climb. Yao Weihua’s tone was unfriendly. He walked behind Fang Heng and asked, “After looking for so long, did you find anything?” Fang Heng turned around and met Yao Weihua’s threatening gaze. He nodded and said, “The magic array here is very old. It was only recently repaired and activated. I guess the blood mist in the cave is related to the magic array.” Yao Weihua had heard similar statements many times, so he asked impatiently, “And then? That’s all you have found out?” “To be precise, these incantations are part of a large magic array. It is already in a semi-activated state. As for its effect, it is either used to nurture priests or used for some special rituals.” Yao Weihua looked suspicious, “You said it’s already in operation?” Fang Heng took a few steps forward and cleaned the moss on the stone statue, “Yes, this is the place where the blood is gathered.” “You mean this stone statue?” A Federation researcher couldn’t help walking up to the stone statue and carefully observing it after hearing Fang Heng’s words. “Yes.” “But we’ve checked. The stone statue’s material is special, but there are no incantations on it.” “Pour some blood on it and the incantation will appear. If you don’t believe me, you can try.” “Really?” Another researcher from the Federation suddenly thought of something and said, “You’re talking about the blood-drawing stone, right? I’ve heard of this kind of stone before…” The other researchers also gathered around the stone statue, no longer looking down on Fang Heng. They began to study the stone statue, discussing it in low voices from time to time and expressing their opinions. After listening to Fang Heng’s explanation, Yao Weihua found that he didn’t understand. “So is this vampire incantation useful to us or not?” Yao Weihua muttered and looked back at the other researchers of the Federation, “What do you guys think? Is what he said right?” The researchers from the Federation discussed in low voices. Everyone present was an expert who had studied vampires for more than a decade. They had studied the stone statue for a long time, but they could not even crack 10% of the vampire’s ancient magic array. They didn’t know whether Fang Heng was telling the truth or not. Everything needed to be verified. A middle-aged man walked out of the group of researchers. He first cupped his hands at Yao Weihua and then continued, “Sir, please give us a little more time.” As they spoke, the researchers continued their research around the stone. Yao Weihua felt as if he had a toothache. He waved his hand and motioned for them to do it quickly. Cottlet was the leader of the Federation’s research team. After getting Fang Heng’s hint, they followed his train of thought and went back to check the stone statue. They found that Fang Heng was right! This stone statue was really a blood-drawing stone, and it was very likely to be the trigger point of the magic array! Fang Heng’s discovery had given them great enlightenment! The team members immediately had a breakthrough and stopped arguing. Instead, they gathered to discuss and analyze. Zhong Haoyang walked to Fang Heng’s side and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Fang, are there no problems with it?” “What a coincidence. There’s a big problem. This magic array is very strange.” Fang Heng had a vague feeling that the operation to capture Jian Muzhi might not be as easy as the Federation had expected. “Sir.” After another 20 minutes or so, the leader of the research team, Cottlet, and the other researchers finally reached a consensus. He walked up to Yao Weihua and said, “We think this is a comprehensive vampire magic array. It’s very difficult to crack, but we can confirm that there is a special teleportation passage hidden in it. As long as the magic array is activated, the passage can be opened.” “Oh?” Yao Weihua was immediately interested and asked, “How can we open the teleportation passage?” “It requires the power of blood. It can be opened by pouring the blood onto the stone statue.” That kid actually hit the nail on the head! Yao Weihua’s heart skipped a beat and he started to believe Fang Heng a little. He couldn’t help but turn to look at the latter, “What do you think?” Fang Heng shook his head, “I don’t suggest opening the passage, but there’s no harm in trying. An expert researcher of the Federation pushed his glasses and looked at Fang Heng, saying, “Hello, I’m researcher Zhong Cheng. You just said that the master magic array’s effect is nurturing. Since it’s nurturing, there won’t be any danger, right? ” Fang Heng shrugged. In theory, that was the case. However, vampire magic arrays were not that kind. As long as one left a wound on one’s body and left it alone, the magic array would continuously absorb the power of one’s blood and just suck one dry! Yao Weihua looked at Fang Heng. Seeing that the latter had fallen into silence, he immediately had an idea in his heart. He waved his hand and beckoned for two Federation soldiers to come over. “Let out your blood and activate the magic array.” “Yes! Sir!” The two Federation soldiers immediately walked to the stone statue, stretched out their arms, and cut a wound on their arms. “Drip, drip…” Blood flowed out of the wound and dripped onto the stone statue. “There’s a situation!” After it was doused with blood, a strange vampire incantation appeared on the stone statue! The incantation gradually lit up. The Federation researchers were overjoyed when they saw this and hurriedly said, “The amount of blood is not enough. We need more.” Yao Weihua waved again. Immediately, more than a dozen Federation soldiers stepped forward, cut their wrists, and poured their blood on the stone statue. The stone statue emitted a dark blood-red light. Following this, the magic array on the ground gradually lit up, until the light filled the entire magic array. “Buzz!” Suddenly, a ray of red light shot out from the stone statue. The light hit the stone wall in front, and a dark red teleportation passage appeared. The teleportation portal was trembling and did not look stable. “The teleportation passage is still unstable. It needs blood supply to maintain it.” The second batch of soldiers immediately walked up and continued to cut their arms to replace the first batch of soldiers pouring blood on the stone statue. With the addition of new blood, the teleportation passage’s gate gradually stabilized. “Good! Beautifully done!” Yao Weihua looked at the researchers and gave them an appreciative look. He then turned his head and said, “Inform the other teams and tell them how to activate the teleportation gate. Get ready for battle!” “Yes!”
