t Lu Kong with displeasure: "Are you not happy to be given food Go wash your hands and get the bowls and chopsticks yourself!"Lu Kong glanced at the bowl and chopsticks that hadn't been brought over y...Lu Kong stood up and, in a state of invisibility, walked behind the group of hooded figures, quietly observing them.

Although they weren't wearing the distinctive robes of the Pale Congregation, Lu Kong could clearly sense a potent aura of death emanating from them through their powerful spiritual energy.

At this moment, several robed figures swept their gazes around. The one at the head spoke in a hoarse voice: "There is no danger."

Another person said dismissively, "Headman, aren't we being too cautious According to Blackrock City's ways, after the Frost Giants are killed, they still need to report the situation before coming to clean up this tribe. Back and forth, we have at least two or three days."

The hooded figure at the front glared at the pale member of the Cleric Union and snarled, "What do you know! The branch in Starriver City hasn't sent any messages. According to what we heard from above, that branch has probably been discovered, and everyone inside is likely dead. Now, they have sent people to investigate the situation, and there will be results soon. The High Priest had specifically warned us to be careful before leaving, but you don't take it seriously Do you want to become an experimental subject"

Hearing this, the pale members of the congregation who had just been nonchalant immediately shrank their necks and dared not speak.

Li Kong could taste the fear in his emotions.

It seems that even members of the Pale Church are afraid of becoming lab specimens, huh

Moreover, the situation in Star River City is likely to be exposed.

After this, the members of the Pale Church will definitely be on guard.

...If he succeeds this time and wipes out the Pale Covenant's base in Blackrock City, then the other members of the Pale Covenant are probably going to be a lot more careful.

After this, it would be difficult for him to fish using this method anymore.

As the leader in the hooded cloak mused, he finished instructing his disciples. He then commanded, "Let's begin."

"Yes!"

Lu Kong's eyes lit up, and he perked up, looking curiously at the hooded figure about to make a move.

He was always curious about what happened to all the blood fang werewolf bodies from last time. How did they just disappear

In the Pale Church's outpost in Xinghe City, Lu Kong didn't find those bodies either.

It is obvious that the bodies of those bloodfang werewolves are not at the outpost.

How did they get so many bodies away in such a short time

Now, Lu Kong has a chance to unravel the mysteries in his heart.

A group of cloaked figures parted, and then several individuals brought out pale grayish rune stones.

These runes were placed according to a certain pattern, and the hooded figure at the front continuously carved between them.

As he inscribed it, surges of deathly power flowed, linking the runes together.

In a short while, the rune stone floated in mid-air, radiating a faint aura of death.

The air grew thick with the scent of death. Gradually, gray-white mist began to rise, enveloping the area around the center of the rune stone.

Lu Kong keenly sensed the spatial distortion within the mist, as if it connected to another realm.

That space was filled with an incredibly dense power of death.

The air even felt a very strong threat from it.

His face changed slightly, was this a spatial portal

I didn't expect the Pale Church branch to have such methods!

Thus, all the bloodfang werewolf corpses from before should also have been taken away this way.

Lu Kong quietly retreated for safety, lest the unknown presence within this strange death mist notice anything amiss.

Just then, the gray mist churned, and numerous bone hands, each dozens of meters long, reached out, grasping in all directions.

A pale acolyte dodged, but was caught by a bony hand.

"Help..."

He didn't even have time to utter a word before being dragged into the gray mist by skeletal hands.

Other cloaked figures, seeing this, hurriedly moved even farther away.

After a moment of silence, the leader in the cloak spoke slowly, "Alright, let's begin. Bring the bodies here!"

Others nodded and one by one began to summon their own undead minions.

A multitude of undead minions were summoned by these pale acolytes, and then ordered to haul the bodies of the frost giants.

The frost giant's corpse was thrown to the Bone Hand's side, and with a casual grab, the Bone Hand brought the frost giant's body back into the Grey Mist.

Lu Kong looked at the gray mist, guessing what was inside, but he didn't have much information after all, and ultimately did not get a definite answer.

But Lu Kong understood, on the other side of this gray mist, it was likely also on the novice continent of Orion.

After all, even if you can open a spatial gate, opening a spatial gate within a continent is completely different from opening one to another continent in terms of consumption.

This is just a small fragment; how could it possibly open a space portal to other continents

Not only that, these corpses are speculated by Lu Kong to be used for creating undead soldiers, which will then be used to attack major cities on the new Hunter continent when it opens.

Looking at the dense bodies being transported towards the gray mist, Lu Kong couldn't help but sigh, the power of death indeed had its own unique charm.

So many tireless, they are already soldiers of the dead. Which commander wouldn't like them

...while the Pale Church could mass-produce them!

It's no wonder the Corrupted Claw would choose to cooperate with the Pale Order.

Land and air speculation suggests that besides the previous Bloodfang Werewolves and this time's Frost Giant corpses, the Pale Order members have probably collected a large number of other bodies.

Li Kong thought again of the research he had seen from within the department and frowned.

I'm afraid that it's not just ordinary undead corpses, even those bizarre fused monsters and flesh giants, the Pale Order probably has quite a few of them too.

I wonder how much military force the Pale Church has secretly accumulated.

If one possesses an army powerful enough to simultaneously wage war on all major cities and towns, coupled with the formidable power of the Cleftfang Demon, the combined force could potentially bring great calamity to the entire Hunter Novice Continent.

This is also extremely troublesome for players.

If they can't hold onto the Newbie Village and the main city, then their leveling up will probably become extremely difficult afterward.

This is a similar concept to the previous demonic invasion.

In the end, the essence of this time is also a demonic invasion.

Demons won't let pass any opportunity to slow down a player's progress.

But that's not the worst of it.

The most troublesome thing is that the Corrupted Claws and the Pale Congregation seem to have a conspiracy going on.

Such a massive amount of troops, coupled with unknown secret plans, even Lu Kong felt immense pressure right now.

With his ability, he could defend the entire Star River City.

But his speed is not the speed of light, how can he withstand attacks from other main cities

Perhaps Yuanxing players' skills have improved due to his influence, but there are so many Yuanxing players, and not everyone is a strong player.

He was not optimistic about being able to withstand attacks on all major cities.

Looking at the dense bodies being transported into the gray mist, Lu Kong even wanted to destroy the gray mist directly.

But he ultimately held back, destroying this patch of gray mist would be pointless. Given the nature of the Pale Church, even without these Frost Giant corpses, there would likely be countless other bodies.

All he needed to do was stay calm, track down the Pale Covenant's outpost near Blackrock City, and obtain the second unknown key.

He needs to learn as much as possible about what the Pale Order and the Cult of the Twisted Claw are plotting.

Only if he understands the situation can he prescribe the right treatment.

Now, all he can do is wait.g was burdened with all sorts of negative statuses: reduced movement speed, reduced healing received, reduced damage dealt, continuous bleeding, decreased hit rate, reduced strength, reduced stamina,...
