Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

The orc went to Cemetery No. 39 to get reinforcements, but Lei Hu just took a look and left with a "we'll talk about it in the morning," leading the other players back to their respective cemeteries.

The fall of four consecutive cemeteries allowed the undead horde to start spreading around.

However, they seemed to fear something. Apart from a few wandering undead, most of them instinctively bypassed Cemetery No. 44, heading toward Cemetery No. 45 and further beyond.

Han'er swallowed, moistening his somewhat dry throat, and asked, "So how many cemeteries are out of control now?"

Wu Chang thought for a moment and said, "About fifteen."

As soon as he said that, the color of Han'er's face changed dramatically.

"You seem quite anxious?" Wu Chang asked.

Han'er forced a bitter smile and said, "Can I not be anxious? Remember I told you before that the existence of gravekeepers is also a part of Blood Moon Eternal Life, right?"

Wu Chang nodded and said, "I remember."

Han'er said, "The existence of gravekeepers is actually akin to a barrier. Although their initial purpose was to concentrate the Power of Immortality within the Great Tomb to prevent being diluted by ordinary people from the outside, in practice, the barrier formed by the gravekeepers indeed blocked the Blood Moon Eternal Life Power from leaking out."

"The fall of a cemetery means the gravekeepers have either died or fled. No matter which, it would lead to the barrier's destruction."

Han'er looked up at the full moon in the sky, his face full of worry.

"This means that tonight, when Blood Moon Eternal Life occurs, the Blood Moon Power will extend beyond the Great Tomb, and hopefully, it won't affect Sirena City District."

Wu Chang opened his mouth, wanting to say something but ended up saying nothing.

What he wanted to say was that Han'er's hope might be in vain.

Once you've seen the grievances of the Tree of Miracles, you'd realize that creating miracles requires intense emotions and desires.

Mikhail I was able to invoke the first miracle through the desperation brought by the plague.

And the Soul Light Sect controlled by the Fire Master, having long controlled the Midnight Graveyard Dungeon, made no further moves but secretly hid a Tree of Miracles. It's easy to guess that their purpose is also to invoke a miracle.

To cause a miracle no less than the first miracle and Blood Moon Eternal Life.

Fire Master, who would be gone after completing this mission, surely has even fewer scruples and limits than Mikhail I, and Wu Chang has reasons to believe that even without an undead appearance, the Fire Master would find a way to destroy the barrier before Blood Moon Eternal Life, allowing Blood Moon Power to directly affect Sirena City District.

However, for Han'er, not knowing all this is actually good for him.

The night patrol ended quickly, and they returned to the gravekeeper's cabin, not having time for a few rounds of poker before the sound of hooves came from outside the cabin.

The three of them put the cards away and stepped out of the cabin, seeing nine knights accompanied by two carriages stopping outside the gravekeeper's cabin.

Wu Chang took a brief look and found that among the nine knights, five possessed Blood Moon Power, clearly nobles resurrected from the Eternal Life Tomb Chamber in disguise.

However, the intensity of the Blood Moon Power within them was far weaker than the one sitting inside the carriage.

A bishop from the Soul Light Sect stepped down from the carriage, greeted Han'er, confirmed the details of the commission, then led Han'er and Wu Chang to the front of the carriage.

The bishop gently knocked on the carriage door and the curtains dropped, revealing the stern face of a middle-aged man.

The bishop introduced, "This is Duke Luz, also the client of tonight's commission. You'll follow us shortly, and as long as you open a tomb chamber, the commission will be considered complete."

At this point, the bishop gave a brilliant yet eerie smile.

"Once it's done, not only will you receive a reward from Duke Luz, but you can also join the Soul Light Sect. A simple commission, isn't it?"
