"Shenhuang is really powerful. My skirt is torn. I won't fight anymore. Goodbye!"
Catherine, who had already retreated to the core formation, stepped hard, and all the vampires present under the sacred tree disappeared instantly and were teleported away.
The Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix was still in the position of fighting against Catherine. It was not that she was not pursuing the pursuit but that she had more important things to do.
The three holy fruits she protected were also more or less infected by blood energy. If they were not dispelled in time, they might "deteriorate".
"Sister, aren't you going to chase me?"
"The Holy Fruit is important, and they still need to investigate wherever they are teleported. There is no rush." Divine Phoenix quickly took out the Holy Fruit and carefully and repeatedly used the Holy Light to dispel the blood tainted in the fruit bit by bit.
"These vampires really piss me off! They broke into my secret garden to steal fruits!" Yaoxing was so angry.
"Katherine's plan is well-planned. I don't know how many years of preparation it has been. It is normal for her to suffer a loss this time. I will make her pay the price." The Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix was relatively calm, while dispelling the fruit's blood and energy, it was injured on the skin and flesh. Shining star treatment.
"What on earth does the bad woman want to do by grabbing the fruit?"
"Normal holy fruits have light attributes and are useless to vampires. But if they are infected with blood and some special processing methods are used, the huge amount of energy in the holy fruits can be absorbed by them. We use the holy fruits to help break through to the soul Heaven level, God-destroying level, other races can do it as well, Catherine should be able to break through and become a Martial God."
"The bad woman is more than a thousand years old, and she has to break through the Martial God. She is so weak!" Yaoxing said disdainfully.
"Katherine is not weak. She is a supreme dark magician before she is a hundred years old. Were you injured by her?"
"Hmph, when I reach the God-Destroying Level, I can win against her. Sister, give me one of the Holy Fruits." Yaoxing has not eaten the Holy Fruit yet and wants to know what the Holy Fruit tastes like.
"You can break through to the God-Destroying Level by yourself, so giving you the Holy Fruit is a bit of a waste. It's better to give it to those partners who are less talented."
The most important role of the Holy Fruit in Jiucai Shenhuang is to help the spirit beasts break through to the Soul Heaven Level or the God-Destroying Level. It can be said to be an extremely important strategic resource. This is why Shenhuang gave up chasing Catherine twice and also protected the Holy Fruit. s reason.
"Ah? You won't give it to me..." Yaoxing was very disappointed, and most of his energy was gone.
"How old are you, you still know how to eat it? Besides, if the secret garden needs combat power, the fruit will be used for you to break through to the God-Destroying Level."
Yaoxing was instantly full of energy, and even looked forward to the fact that Secret Garden would encounter trouble and need to take action on his own.
With the ability of the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix, it doesn't take much time to completely dispel the contaminated blood in the Holy Fruit. About a quarter of an hour later, the blood energy was completely dissipated, and the three holy fruits returned to their original state from the reddish state of gold, shining with golden light and exuding a rich fruity aroma.
Yaoxing's mouth watered when he saw the fruit and smelled its fragrance, and wanted to ask for it from the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix.
Shenhuang didn't give her a chance and directly collected the holy fruit and said: "Catherine may still be in the secret garden. Let's go find her. Lei Cang, Bai Huo, you are responsible for cleaning up the remaining vampires in the secret garden. Immediately action!"
"yes!"
Lei Cang turned into a spiritual eagle and flew away, and the white fire turned into a horse and galloped away.
…
The virtual main formation is one of the three main formations of the blood clan.
Purple mysterious light flashed, and the virtual main formation, which originally had only one dark priest who maintained the operation of the main formation, was suddenly "overcrowded". Catherine, three archbishops, ten dark priests and a group of judges, blood knights, punishers, All the elite vampire warriors have been teleported here, and most of the high-end combat power of the Scarlet Holy See is here.
The virtual main formation is in charge of teleportation and is the axis connecting Modoc, the capital of the Scarlet Holy See, and the Secret Garden of Spiritual Beasts. If she wants to teleport a large number of people to the teleportation formation in Modoc, Catherine needs to bring her men here first, just like When they came in, it was the same as the virtual main formation that arrived first.
"Blood Queen" Catherine is one thousand one hundred and sixty-nine years old this year. The vampires are the longest-lived race after the elves. The lifespan of an ordinary vampire is two thousand years. Catherine is a supreme dark magician, and her lifespan will be greatly extended. In addition, as the Queen of the Scarlet Holy See, it is easy to obtain some natural treasures, and there is no problem in longevity.
In other words, Catherine is still "young" now.
It does not mean that those with a life span of two thousand years will definitely live to two thousand years. The living conditions of ordinary vampires are worse than those of humans, and are not even better than those of orcs who lack resources. This is the same as the Nalan Empire in another vampire. This is particularly obvious in Yong Ye Ling Kingdom, a country that implements an aristocratic system.
After Catherine seized the throne of the Scarlet Holy See more than 600 years ago, she reformed the internal affairs with iron-blooded tactics, suppressed the rebels, and concentrated the power of the country in her hands. She then took a series of measures to make ordinary people in the Scarlet Holy See The living conditions of the vampires have improved a lot.
Although Catherine had an unstable temperament, she was a very good queen.
Perhaps due to the long lifespan, the Vampires grow slower than humans in terms of strength and magical aptitude. Catherine was able to break through to the supreme level dark magician at the age of 89, which is a gifted existence among the Vampires.
Compared with her almost unprecedented magical talent, Catherine's talent in energy cultivation is very average. To become the Queen, she relied on time and resources to reach the Martial Saint level, but she was stuck at the peak of the Martial Saint level.
Not everyone can achieve the god level, and Catherine knew that she needed to use external objects to achieve the level of martial god.
Foreign objects that can help people break through to the god level must be artifact-level things. The question is how many artifact-level things are there in this world? And it is an extremely precious thing that helps people make breakthroughs.
If Catherine can't find it herself, she can only steal it from others, and the closest place is the Secret Garden of Spiritual Beasts in the Holy Spirit-Calling Kingdom, which is at war with the Scarlet Holy See all the year round. As far as Catherine knows, the holy fruit there is just right. There is this function.
It's just that the holy fruit has a light attribute, which not only has no effect on the vampires, but is also "poison". However, this is not a problem for a supreme-level dark magician. It would take decades or hundreds of years to think of a way to change the attribute.
However, the real difficulty is how to pick the holy fruit under the guard of the god-destroying nine-colored divine phoenix. There is no arrogance in Catherine's changeable temperament. She thinks that the nine-colored divine phoenix, which has lived longer than her, is stronger than her. , it is impossible to succeed if you directly attack the secret garden.
Catherine needed to formulate a perfect plan. For several years, she used the shadow transformation technique to disguise herself as an ordinary citizen of the Spirit-Calling Holy Kingdom and entered the Secret Garden of Spirit Beasts to personally explore. She visited every corner of the secret garden, even where the sacred tree was. She's been there.
Catherine kept every mountain and river in the Secret Garden of Spirit Beasts in mind, and with her superb knowledge of formations, she created her own formations that imitated the boundary membrane, and combined it with the ancient teleportation formations, ordinary absorption formations, and some auxiliary Functional arrays are connected in series, and multiple large and small array eyes are used as fulcrums to form a large array covering the entire secret garden.
The three main formations represent the main functions of this formation.
The main boundary formation creates a boundary membrane to block the inside and outside of the secret garden.
The random teleportation of the virtual main formation can disrupt the situation in the secret garden and facilitate follow-up actions. The directional teleportation ensures that the Scarlet Holy See becomes the only force that can enter and exit the secret garden.
The main formation is responsible for absorbing energy to ensure the operation of the formation, and finally absorbs the blood of the entire secret garden and injects it into the holy tree through the roots, infecting the holy fruit to change its attributes.
The formation created by Catherine is her best tool to capture the Holy Fruit.
The next step is to make a plan. Catherine's plan is very detailed, ranging from the overall process of obtaining the fruit to the small things that each high-end combat force of each team of soldiers has to do. She also arranges for herself before finally obtaining the holy fruit. Leaves a lot of room for error.
The most critical link in the plan is her childhood sweetheart "Shadowless" Brad, an assassin as talented as she is.
Brad is not only Catherine's most loyal follower but also her staunchest pursuer. However, Catherine does not have much feelings for him. Perhaps for this queen, becoming the strongest in the world is more important than love.
But Brad doesn't care about Catherine's attitude. He just wants to be her sharpest sword and help her accomplish what she wants to accomplish.
Brad's mission is to use superb stealth and concealment methods to ambush at the top of the sacred tree, wait for the divine phoenix to intercept the blood energy, and then interfere with it, and then drag the divine phoenix to let Catherine pick the holy fruit.
The task of only a few dozen words in total was indeed the most arduous. He was the only one in the entire Scarlet Holy See who could do it, and he was the only one Catherine could count on.
The plan is drawn up, everything is prepared, and the next step is to implement it.
The first step is to sneak into the secret garden.
It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, but the beginning of Catherine's plan is not difficult, because she has done it several times. Even if the Holy King appeared at the entrance of the secret garden, he could not see through Catherine's disguise. She took it right under the nose of the Holy King. Several men successfully entered the secret garden.
The second step is to build a large formation.
This step is not difficult. With the previous investigation, Catherine is very familiar with the Secret Garden of Spirit Beasts, and the men she brought in are also smart and capable people. While most people are still looking for spirit beasts in Thunder Bluff, Burning Plains and other places, Then they completed the construction.
The third step is to activate the formation.
This is even simpler. The formation was created by Catherine herself, and it can be used like an arm. Catherine used a large number of high-energy crystals collected over the years as the starting energy source for the formation. She first activated the virtual main formation and created a random teleportation covering the entire secret garden. Then she immediately directed the teleportation to the main realm formation to generate a boundary film to block the secret garden. Internally and externally, the main formation is finally activated to absorb energy and maintain the formation.
The fourth step is to kill the living beings.
In order to obtain enough blood to infect the Holy Fruit, the simplest and most direct way is to kill. Catherine used the virtual main formation to bring in the vampire warriors who had been waiting in the capital Modoc, and then teleported them to various formations. Taking advantage of the time when the human and spiritual beasts were stunned by the random teleportation, she massacred even ordinary animals. Don't let it go either.
During this period, Catherine herself also did several things. She led the high-level combat forces to set up a core formation under the Holy Tree to contain the top combat forces of the Secret Garden such as the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix, making the Nine-Colored Divine Phoenix mistakenly believe that she was attacking the Holy Tree. Shu was up to no good, but he used the formation to secretly calculate the time when the holy fruit would mature.
Catherine also provoked Divine Phoenix to take action and had a moderate fight with her to test Divine Phoenix's strength. At this time, Brad took the opportunity to climb onto the Holy Tree.
However, Catherine did not expect that the main formation of the world would be breached. Fortunately, she left enough room for error, allowing the Spirit Summoning Holy Kingdom to break through the boundary membrane "only 1 point away".
The fifth step is to capture the Holy Fruit.
This is the most difficult step in the entire plan, and it is also the most detailed step in Catherine's planning.
Based on the calculated maturity time of the holy fruit, Catherine activated the formation to gather the blood energy accumulated in the massacre into the main formation, and then sent her confidant, the dark priest "Dark Sacred Scripture", to control the main formation to inject blood into the holy tree, while she rushed to the top of the tree. .
As she expected, the divine phoenix was about to intercept the blood energy, and what faced her was the starry dragon Yaoxing, who didn't look very smart. She didn't have to use all her strength to save strength for the upcoming battle to seize the fruit.
The archbishops also deliberately delayed their breakthrough according to her arrangement. The fruit was about to mature at this time, and the time was just right.
However, Brad blew himself up, which was not part of her plan.
The Divine Phoenix is stronger than Catherine expected, and only by self-destruction can Brad complete the task of holding the Divine Phoenix back.
God-level strong men should not be restrained, and they would not give their lives easily, but Brad's self-destruction illustrates the true existence of true love among the vampires. Brad was willing to give everything for Catherine and was prepared to give his life from the beginning.
The moment Brad blew himself up, Catherine's blood core trembled and she felt unprecedented sadness.
Then she rushed to the holy fruit at the top of the holy tree, and the first thing she did was to put away Brad's slightly cracked blood core.
The subsequent picking of the holy fruits went relatively smoothly, and Catherine finally got her wish and put the holy fruits into the space ring. In order to prevent the Divine Phoenix from pursuing her, she deliberately did not take away all the holy fruits, and the amount she left was carefully considered.
Three of the five holy fruits were left, more than half. Shenhuang would not give up the holy fruits and chase her. If she only left one or two for her, Shenhuang might catch up with her if she was cruel.
Perhaps because she wanted to know how strong Divine Phoenix was before she could force Brad to self-destruct, Catherine still had a hard fight with her before retreating, but suffered a slight loss.
The sixth step is to evacuate the secret garden.
This is the simplest step to take now.
