Chapter 419: Chapter 388, Valkyrie Construct_1
Next, they still had to continue the fight, with no time to look after the fat man, Eric.
The best way was to find him a safe spot to hide for the moment.
Once the fight was over, they could get him out.
Hearing Fang Hao’s words, everyone else also started moving.
They opened an intact stone coffin and removed the body inside.
Two ventilation holes were carved into the side of the coffin, and Eric was placed directly inside, sealing the coffin lid.
For added security, they placed two layers of hard stone slabs on top.
Even if those white monkeys found Eric inside the coffin.
It would take them some time to open the heavily reinforced stone coffin.
After getting Eric settled, everyone began preparing for the ensuing fight.
…
Twenty-two Stone Monster constructs, four Valkyrie constructs.
Even though Demitrija and Anjia could handle the constructs without issue, they still posed a threat to the others.
Luckily, there was a certain distance between the Stone Monster constructs and the Valkyrie constructs.
Given their locations, the two groups wouldn’t be triggered simultaneously.
They could exploit this, annihilating the Stone Monster constructs first, then dealing with the Valkyrie constructs.
After discussing the plan in detail with Demitrija and others.
Everyone began to act.
Fang Hao said to Anjia: “Don’t go near the stele. Draw the Stone Monster over here. I’ll use the Magic Scroll. Don’t take any risks.”
There were no skeletons in the team, and even after flying around for a while, the skeleton sparrow hadn’t triggered any constructs.
Thus, the task of drawing the monster was given to Anjia.
With her Blue Hero attributes, triggering the Stone Monster constructs and luring them over wouldn’t be an issue.
“Got it!” Anjia readily agreed.
Ever since their relationship deepened, Anjia had become more obedient.
At this time, a few of the bandit underlings also returned.
“Sir, everything is set.”
Fang Hao nodded, not continuing to delay.
He directly issued an order: “Alright, proceed according to the plan. Anjia, be careful.”
“Yes!” everyone responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, Anjia charged into the ‘Holy Light Cemetery’.
She quickly dashed through the arched corridor, circling around the Stone Monster constructs.
Crack! Crack!
With Anjia running ahead, the sound of shards of stone rubbing together echoed from behind.
Twnety-two Stone Monster constructs were activated, their bodies shook violently as they stretched out.
Dust fell from their bodies.
They carelessly tore off the vines climbing over their bodies, picking up the rusty weapons nearby.
Crack! Crack!
They turned their rigid heads, all looking towards the fleeing intruder not far off.
Following that, they moved with heavy strides.
They gave chase in the direction of the intruder.
The shrill sound of friction filled every corner.
Anjia activated the Stone Monster constructs and did not continue to venture deeper.
She started running back in the direction she came from after drawing them in a circle.
The Stone Monsters were hot on her heels.
They charged recklessly, turning the maid statues and flower bed archways along the way into rubble.
Debris scattered all over the ground.
Fang Hao watched the distance, and when they reached the predetermined location.
He pulled open the Magic Scroll (Quicksand Trap), pointing his finger towards the feet of the constructs.
The next second, a stream of yellow energy light flew out from the scroll.
It sank into the ground under the feet of the constructs.
The previously hard ground started to soften, forming a vortex of sand more than ten meters in diameter.
It began to swallow everything around it, including the constructs that walked on it.
Flower beds and statues around started to be swallowed by the quicksand, and the steps of the forward-charging constructs began to slow down.
They also started to sink little by little.
“Blasting caps!” Fang Hao ordered again.
A bandit underling waiting beside him quickly pulled the fuse line.
From the outset, they had hidden many blasting caps at the ambush point.
The constructs lacked intelligence.
Even if they saw the blasting caps in the open, they wouldn’t retreat or evade.
The fuse line was pulled, and the fuse of the blasting cap at the ambush point was also pulled simultaneously.
After a puff of black smoke.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth-shattering explosions filled the entire cemetery.
Fang Hao and the others quickly retreated, avoiding the walls that were shaking due to the blast.
After the explosion, everything fell silent.
“I knew I put too many blasting caps.” Fang Hao complained, covering his ringing ears.
With twenty-two constructs, that was quite a number.
Trying to avoid casualties, Fang Hao increased the number of blasting caps.
He didn’t expect that he still put too many.
He almost blew up the whole cemetery.
After the smoke cleared, everyone recovered.
Looking at the Holy Light Cemetery again, the Stone Monster constructs had already disappeared, even the Quicksand Trap had vanished.
The ground was scattered with large depressions.
“Clean up the battlefield. Don’t get near the central area.” Fang Hao continued.
Everyone started moving, collecting any spoils of war that could be found.
[Harvest: Energy Core 4, Metal Parts 142, Precision Parts 72, Shadowstone 5.]
Explosions don’t differentiate between parts.
The only things that could be collected intact were these items.
The rest had all been turned into debris in the explosion.
…
After collecting the spoils of war.
Everyone entered the Holy Light Cemetery.
Without the arched hallway, the line of sight was much broader.
They could clearly see the tombstone and four female constructs from a distance.
The stele had turned mottled, but the text ‘Sydney Sirdar’ could still be vaguely made out.
