"We’ve found the entrance!" Suddenly, Helian, a teammate beside Crazy Zen, shouted with excitent.
An arched bunker door, with its top uncovered, was revealed. Crazy Zen’s group of followers sward in, using all sorts of tools to dig out a huge pit, fully exposing the entrance of the bunker!
However, just as the bunker entrance was violently excavated, the ground on both sides suddenly opened up, and two towering Alchemy Giant Statues erged from beneath the earth!
The arms of the Alchemy Giant Statues were welded, one with a thick long spear and the other with a sharp spinning blade!
The right arm’s blade spun around, slicing horizontally! Instantly, several of Crazy Zen’s followers were cut open at the abdon, their screams echoing as their organs spilled onto the ground.
One pirate follower rolled forward and slashed at one of the giant statue’s ankle joints, but was suddenly pierced through by the left-arm spear of the statue, the blue-black spearhead thrusting directly through him!
"So this is your final trump card, these two Enhanced Elite Level Alchemy Giant Statues?"
Crazy Zen’s anxiety dissipated completely, and he sneered, "Gangxin, you’ve erred! The Alchemy Giant Statues are rely chanical creations, with slightly stronger resistance to swords! My Cyan Dragon Killing Fist is their nesis!"
...
In the underground operating room of Noel’s Alchemy Workshop.
"You’re quite talkative today, Dior,"
Qin expertly proceeded with the transplant surgery, smiling as she said, "That’s not like you. In my impression, you’re not one to show off like a proud peacock with beautiful feathers."
Bai Pu sighed, speaking softly, "I’ve spoken to him at length just to buy so ti. What I truly dread aren’t him but the Blood Ring’s hunting army!
"As long as he harbors any illusion that he can seize two hearts from , he won’t inform the Blood Ring army of this location. But once his hope is shattered, to prevent from becoming a formidable future adversary, he’ll inevitably opt for mutual destruction, calling the Blood Ring army here!"
Master Noel, hearing the commotion outside the gate, sighed and said, "If you have any more tricks up your sleeve, use them now. They’ve already found the entrance, and my two Alchemy Giant Statues won’t hold them off for long."
"Don’t worry, Master Noel. Dior has already made preparations."
Qin, unperturbed, asked, "Dior, there are three types of harmonizing liquids here, from Schroeder the Scholar, Blood Mist Butcher, and Crimson Wings. Which one do you intend to prioritize?"
Clearly, Schroeder is of the Spiritual Talent type, Blood Mist Butcher specializes in Power, and Crimson Wings in Agility.
This change of profession for Bai Pu will allow him to gain an additional Attribute Specialization, becoming a dual-specialization profession!
If he didn’t acquire the Primordial Heart Tissue from Princess Christina, he wouldn’t be able to obtain dual specializations; he’d have to advance in Endurance and beco a Tank Type Enhanced Elite or Hero Profession.
Though a coveted profession template for many Awakened, it’s certainly unfit for Bai Pu.
"I’ll choose Blood Mist Butcher." Bai Pu had already made up his mind. Since his Basic Attributes are highest in Endurance, with Power following, he might as well continue enhancing Power, becoming a Power and Endurance dual-specialization profession.
What’s more, Bai Pu’s Main Battle Specialization: Two-Handed Swordsmanship, requires a high amount of Power to be displayed fully and brilliantly!
As for the other two attributes, Agility and Spirit, they’re important too, but can only be considered when transforming into a more formidable profession template in the future.
...
Crazy Zen launched a full-on assault, dragon roars continuously erupting!
Punch after punch, the fierce force bombarded the various joints of the Alchemy Giant Statues, soon bringing them to a halt.
The cost for Crazy Zen was rely the lives of a dozen followers—
These followers, deeply brainwashed by Crazy Zen, indeed seed fearless, disregarding their frail bodies to embrace the giant statue’s legs, wheels, and even weaponized arms! This created a chance for Crazy Zen’s squad to unleash their attacks.
"Finally cleared the last obstacle!"
A fanatic gleam swept across Crazy Zen’s countenance, "Now is when Gangxin is most vulnerable; he can’t move during the surgery, and the Alchemy Master helping him can’t make any moves either! Once we seize the two pieces of Primordial Heart Tissue, the two ’Blood and Flesh’ constructs from our family lineage can regain their source of power! The revival of the family is just around the corner!"
Two teammates, equally excited, are also mbers of the Jiangnan Xu Clan, sharing in the glory.
Suddenly, a pirate lookout yelled, "Ship! A ship is approaching, with the Blood Ring’s emblem on it!"
"Impossible!" Crazy Zen was shocked, "I didn’t notify them; the Blood Ring Fleet couldn’t possibly have the coordinates for this island!"
Swoosh!
An arrow shot forth, directly piercing through the pirate lookout’s monocular.
The arrow’s montum even penetrated the pirate’s eye, the triangular pointed arrowhead erging from the back of his head!
From the sound of the bowstring to the arrow taking a life—a blink of an eye!
Crazy Zen was astounded, as this revealed the archer’s superior skill, nearly matching that of Ralph, the Blood Ring General riding his Giant Wolf!
But Ralph was deeply infected by the Flesh and Blood Plague, still in a state of madness, awaiting Marshal Horn’s return to restore his Blood Ring Curse Seal! It’s impossible for him to arrive now!
Crazy Zen and his two teammates quickly took cover, while his followers, fearless, continued to charge the bunker gate.
The piercing sound of arrows rained incessantly, felling the followers storming the gate one by one.
Soon, the vessel reached the shore, and a group of knights, clad in Blood Ring Armor, landed on Horseshoe Island!
At the forefront were two individuals, including a woman knight with sea-blue curly hair—Yvette.
Beside Yvette, the leader of these knights, was a man with thin cheeks and a pale complexion.
"Who are you!" exclaid Crazy Zen, realizing he’d never seen this group before.
"I am the Guardian Knight, Gawain. Tasked with protecting Queen Eleonor," the gaunt man stated, lowering the Great Bow and drawing a Knight’s Longsword, "We are here under Her Majesty’s orders to protect this bunker. You’re requested to leave imdiately."
"The Queen’s Guardian Knights?"
Only then did Crazy Zen recall that Blood Ring Fortress still had a presence—a nearly invisible Queen! These must be the Queen’s Guardian Knights.
They might be few in number, but each are elite, especially their leader, Gawain, whose strength was formidable, beyond what they, this ragtag group, could oppose.
"The enemies who abducted the Princess Lead Coffin are inside this bunker! Are you betraying the Emperor? Which is more important, the Queen’s command or the Emperor’s?" Crazy Zen shouted sharply.
Thinking he’d seized an opportunity, Crazy Zen was taken aback when Gawain responded without hesitation:
"For us, naturally, the Queen’s command takes precedence. She is our mistress; her will dictates the direction of our blades!"
