Chapter 187: Chapter 187, Heart Task_l

The blood seemed to be drawn by some force, transforming into a river of blood, rushing towards the heart in the center.

By the time Fang Hao noticed the anomaly,

four bodies had already withered, shattered into a fine sand.

When all the blood currents were swallowed by the heart,

the original shriveled, gray heart also started to grow increasingly red, full, and robust.

Thump!

Thump! Thump!

The heart began to beat intensely, like a youthful heart, filled with strength.

“It’s a bit scary.” Anjia peeped over again.

“It’s–okay.”

Fang Hao wanted to comfort Anjia, only to find that his own voice was trembling slightly.

Everyone stood at the doorway for a while, watching the heart beating ceaselessly, but showing no other changes.

“I’ll go and check, seal up the door if anything strange happens,” said Fang Hao.

No chest was found in the whole room.

But a powerful organ might bring him extra gains.

As for why he had to go in himself, the reason was simple.

He was in the state of God’s Presence, he could afford to die, and more importantly, he could see the information of the items.

Whether the heart was peculiar or not could only be detected when he approached it.

Several heroes nodded, and Fang Hao boldly approached the heart on the stone platform.

As he got closer, Fang Hao also checked the information about the heart.

[Revival Heart]

[Category: Organ]

[Effect: Consumption of heart blood can transform you into a vampire.]

(Description: That night, the cunning City Lord hosted a grand ball, inviting all the noblemen and wealthy merchants in the city to taste his treasured wine. The red wine, faintly giving off a fishy smell, turned them into fanged creatures under the moonlight.)

[Task: Beating Heart (Accepted)]

(Description: Find the complete body, and there is a chance to recruit a Dark Gold level hero.)

Good heavens, dark gold level.

Fang Hao nearly gasped in surprise.

Wait, is dark gold higher or is orange higher? Aren’t they both the same color?

It seems that dark gold is a bit higher. He would have the chance to ask Nelson when he went back.

After the excitement, Fang Hao began to analyze the task information.

According to the task description, he needs to help this heart find the remaining body.

That is to say, this dark gold level power was dismembered and buried in different places.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the dark gold level isn’t too powerful after all. He was even dismembered.

This mission was the second task that Fang Hao took outside of the system.

The first one was Little You’s unfinished business, requiring the collection of 12 Swords of Absolution.

He has only collected two so far, and now there’s another task to collect body parts. Each task is weirder than the last.

Of course, these tasks have no time limit and don’t seem to carry any penalties.

If it doesn’t work out, Fang Hao will go back and let Nelson seal the heart directly into the viscera jar to see if it triggers any special attributes.

“All clear, no danger,” Fang Hao called out, “Continue to move things out. Also, take the heart back.”

All the skeletons came back in, continued to move the burial accessories out.

The heart was directly thrown into a pottery jar for easy transportation.

When Fang Hao crawled out of the cave, the sky was becoming increasingly dark.

The sun has slowly sunk below the horizon.

Exploring the ancient tomb actually took a whole day.

Once everything was ready, Fang Hao ordered to start the journey back.

Outside Pruell City.

Clop! Clop!

The rapid sound of horse hooves rang out. A mercenary entered the city just before the city gate was closed.

Ignoring the guard’s muttered warnings, he left his horse behind and headed straight for a room on the second floor of the inn.

After taking a couple of deep breaths, he gently knocked on the door.

“Who’s there?” A low voice came from inside the room.

“It’s me, Lyle.”

“Come in.”

The door opened, revealing five well-equipped, burly men sitting inside. These men weren’t locals but mercenaries who had arrived here not long ago.

The bounty for locating the ancient tomb at the tavern was issued by these people.

“Any news?” A man with a large beard asked in a deep voice.

They had been here for three days already, without getting any news at all. Neither they nor anyone else had any information about this ancient tomb. “Yes.” Lyle picked up a pottery cup from the table and took a sip.

All eyes instantly held their breaths, and everyone stared at Lyle, asking, “Who found it? Is the location reliable? Has that person been killed?”

Lyle’s task was to monitor whether anyone had discovered the entrance to the ancient tomb while out and about.

If discovered, and the rumor confirmed, he would kill the person to prevent the information from leaking out.

Of course, even if Lyle made a mistake and the discoverer came to claim the bounty, the approach would be the same.

Leave no survivors.

“It’s pretty strange, you won’t believe what I saw: an army of undead, at least tens of thousands of them.” Lyle took another sip of water and continued, “They moved the funerary objects away, heading north.”

“Why would there be any undead here, Lyle? Are you trying to deceive us and keep everything for yourself?” Another man said in a deep voice.

“Screw you! If I wanted to deceive you, would I still come back? Wouldn’t it be better to take the stuff inside and run away?” Lyle retorted loudly.

Although this man was just talking, deep down, he didn’t believe Lyle would lie. But the idea of such a large force coexisting with the many human settlements here was hard to accept.

“You said they moved the funerary objects?” An aged voice resonated from within the room.

An old man clad in fancy clothes, leaning on a cane, walked out.

The mercenaries nearby immediately gave up their seats for the old man to sit and converse.

“Yes, Mr. Eifu, I saw the undead pushing carts loaded with many funerary goods.” Lyle replied respectfully.

The old man pulled-out a key from around his neck, expressing confusion, “The key to the tomb is with me, how did they get in?”

All eyes were on Lyle, waiting for him to provide a plausible answer.

“I don’t know, the number of undead was too large. To avoid being noticed, I only followed from a distance.” Lyle replied.

The old man nodded. Lyle had no reason to deceive him.

Even if he wanted to trick him, he wouldn’t make up something as unbelievable as an undead army.

“Did you spot anything special among the funerary items?” Old Eifu asked again.

“Something special? What do you mean?”

“Like corpses…”

All the mercenaries looked puzzled. Was Eifu hiring them to look for bodies in the ancient tomb? It was quite hard to understand.

“Mr. Eifu, I didn’t see any corpse. After all, the distance was quite far and they were all undead. Even if there were corpses, it would be difficult to notice.” Lyle continued.

Old Eifu nodded, paused a moment, and said, “We’ll go up the mountain tomorrow to take a look. If we still can’t find what I’m looking for, we have to be prepared to deal with the undead.”

The mercenaries looked grave.

They were used to walking a tightrope with death, but didn’t have any aspirations for suicide.

They weren’t fans of dealing with tens of thousands of undead creatures.

The bearded mercenary took a deep breath and said, “Mr. Eifu, you should tell us the secrets of this tomb now. You promised us eternal life and wealth.” Gazing directly into Old Eifu’s eyes, “If you don’t reveal what you know today, I’ll opt out of this mission. You only need to pay me for the distance I’ve travelled.”
