Monster collectors on the cross-platform

This should be a magical item, but it's of very low quality, so the energy fluctuations it emits are very weak.

Huo reached out and picked it up, examining it carefully.

Name: Bat Statue

Type: Sculpture, Key

Weight: 100g

Effect: None

Description: A bat-shaped key that might open a door, but is otherwise useless.

It turned out to be a key. Huo looked at the statue in his hand with some surprise, and then continued searching the study.

However, the study was just a study. Huo searched for a long time, and even dismantled the study, but found nothing else unusual.

It seems that the so-called main door is not inside this study.

Looking at the study, now reduced to ruins, Huo came to a conclusion.

Meanwhile, the two women they had been searching for elsewhere also came to join Huo.

Like Huo Huan, the two women made no other discoveries.

Where could it be? Back in the lobby on the first floor, Huo stroked his chin and pondered.

Could it be...? Huo Huan looked at the hall and a thought struck him.

Then a flame started extending from Huo Huan's feet and quickly ignited the hall.

The fire raged and quickly burned down all the decorations in the hall, including the carpet Huo was standing on.

Huo Huan lowered his head slightly, and a huge magic circle quietly appeared in front of him.

As he had guessed, the next thing to happen was either above or below. Looking at the magic circle that showed no energy fluctuations, Huo even curled up the corner of his mouth before injecting energy into the bat statue.

Infused with the power of Hogan, the bat statue began to slowly rise into the air and then floated above the magic circle.

After a flash of blue light, a large hole quietly appeared in the once neatly arranged floor tiles.

Reaching out to catch the bat statue that had fallen after exhausting its energy, Huo glanced at the large hole in front of him and went inside first.

As soon as I stepped onto the stairs, a stench of blood mixed with decay hit me.

Huo frowned and continued walking down.

A few dozen seconds later, after walking up dozens of steps, Huo successfully reached the bottom.

The underground structure resembled a prison, with a central passageway and prison cell doors made of steel about the thickness of a thumb on both sides.

Between the two cells on each side, a candle of unknown material was stuck in the air, burning brightly and emitting a purple glow.

With these candles, each several meters long, the underground cell wasn't completely dark.

Huo walked to the front of the cell and glanced inside.

There were no other creatures inside, only a yellowish skeleton.

Judging from its shape, it should be human or a humanoid creature similar to humans.

Huo had never studied skeletons before, so he couldn't tell which race they belonged to.

As he walked along, he noticed that almost every cell contained a skeleton. Although they were all human-shaped skeletons, Huo still noticed subtle differences, suggesting they came from different races.

Gradually, the cells began to contain not only skeletons, but also corpses that were not yet fully decomposed.

It seems that the closer one gets to the inside of the dungeon, the shorter the time it takes for a corpse to die.

After passing dozens of prison cells, a naked female corpse appeared in front of Huo Huan.

The woman's body was somewhat shriveled, as if all the blood had been drained from her body. It is worth mentioning that the woman's face was completely destroyed, leaving only a bloody mess.

After passing the woman's body, the prison behind was filled with all sorts of female corpses, and judging from the details, they included quite a few different races.

There are humans, elves, werewolves... and even vampires.

The dungeon space was ultimately limited. After passing nearly a hundred cells, the last cell appeared before Huo Huan, and at the same time, a faint heartbeat reached his ears.

Chapter 216 The Undead

The last cell was completely different from the previous ones. While the previous cells were still visible through metal bars, the last cell was completely airtight.

However, these were nothing to Huo; they were just ordinary metals after all.

As for the monsters that might exist inside, Huo had no intention of worrying at all. He raised his fist and punched down.

With a loud "boom," a dent immediately appeared on the hard metal wall, and at the same time, the monster inside the cell was awakened by the huge sound.

"Aow!" A howl that didn't sound like a human's was followed by the sound of fingernails scraping against metal.

With a series of "boom boom boom" punches, Huo Huan smashed through the metal cell, and the monster inside appeared in front of Huo Huan and his companions.

It had a hunched back, hands covered with sharp nails, and patches of gray hair growing all over its body.

Most importantly, the monster's face was that of a woman, and Huo found it somewhat familiar.

After a moment's recollection, Huo immediately remembered that this was the female phantom that had been next to the middle-aged vampire earlier.

It seems this middle-aged vampire conducted many experiments in an attempt to resurrect the woman, but judging from the results, it was not to his liking.

"Awooo!" Upon seeing the stranger appear, the monster woman pounced on Huo Huan like a wild beast.

Upon seeing this, Huo immediately raised his hand and punched the woman away.

A crisp "crack" sounded as the woman's arm visibly bent.

But the woman seemed to feel no pain at all, and the next second she continued to pounce on Huo Huan.

By the time the woman rushed to Huo Huan's side, the fracture in her right arm had healed completely.

Huo frowned and pushed the woman away again, revealing her to be another monster with incredible regenerative abilities.

However, having strong recovery ability is not very useful.

As the woman lunged at him again, Huo Huan's spider legs suddenly extended from his back, slicing past him at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The next second, the once whole woman had turned into a pile of flesh.

Even though the woman had turned into chunks of flesh, she continued to writhe on the ground, seemingly still showing signs of coming together again.

Huo Huan was watching the writhing chunks of flesh on the ground when a tail quietly appeared behind him.

Aiming at the chunk of flesh, Huo Huan's tail thrust out like a spear, and then black venom began to be injected continuously.

As the venom was injected, the chunk of flesh convulsed as if in excruciating pain.

The convulsions lasted for several minutes, until the vitality of the flesh was finally exhausted by Huo Huan's venom.

At the same time, a notification sound from the integrated network immediately appeared.

[Network notification: You have successfully passed the second trial of the Path of Legends – Moonlit Fortress. Rewards are being calculated...]

[Network notification: Subsequent trials will unlock after players reach level 17]

Upon seeing the notification from the Comprehensive Network, Huo glanced at his own panel. He had gained an extra 3 Comprehensive Network Coins, and in addition, he had an item called the Blood Cup in his spatial backpack.

Name: Cup of Blood (Purple)

Type: Restoration Item

Weight: 200g

Effect: Blood Transformation

Description: A special cup made by a master vampire. Pour fresh blood into the cup and wait 10 minutes to obtain a healing potion to restore your injuries.

Huo took out the Blood Cup, glanced at it, and then put it back into his spatial backpack.

This is another item that is of little use to Huo, but it can be exchanged for a lot of Zongwang coins.

Having confirmed that the trial had been passed, Huo summoned the Book of Collections to collect the remaining pieces of flesh on the ground.

They thought they could contain it, but the containment failed.

Judging from the woman's inhuman appearance, she shouldn't be someone who isn't a demon.

The only explanation is that the woman was just an experimental subject, a chimera monster, not a demon, but a composite product.

Since he couldn't take her in, Huo didn't care too much. He set the castle on fire to send her on her final journey before leaving.

Back at the gravedigger's hut, it was time for Huo to start looking for a new battlefield.

This trial was completed very quickly, much faster than the Dragon's Nest.

During the Dragon's Nest trial, one had to search for those dragons, but this time, the Moonlit Castle appeared right in front of him, without wasting Huo much of his time.

However, the vampire's Blood River was still a bit troublesome, and it consumed quite a bit of Huo's skills.

Back home, the women began doing things they wanted to do, while Huo didn't immediately head off to the next battlefield.

My skills are almost depleted, so it's safer to wait until they're fully restored before moving on to the next battlefield.

After a short day of rest, the next morning, Huo looked at the newly appeared battlefield on the panel and directly opened the portal.

This battlefield is called 'Undead Cold Tide', which seems to be a battlefield related to the undead.

As soon as Huo stepped out of the teleportation portal, he saw snowflakes falling from the sky.

Looking up, everything around me was covered in snowflakes.

Huo was a southerner in his previous life, so he was not unfamiliar with snowflakes, but he had never seen such thick snow before.

After surveying his surroundings, Huo turned to the chat channel.

A few minutes later, Huo also gained a general understanding of the war intelligence in this dimension.

Huo is currently in a place called Green Field City, which is one of the outpost cities resisting the tide of the undead.

Ten years ago, a strange undead suddenly appeared in this world, but no one noticed it at the time.

As time passed, this alien undead grew increasingly powerful, so powerful that it even began to influence celestial phenomena.

As a result, the world is now covered in ice and snow for nearly half the year.

At the same time, this force also affected the countless corpses on the earth, and then the tide of the dead was born.
