Chapter 377 Blood Mist (1/2)

Chapter 377 Blood Mist

On the southwestern outskirts of Tivian, on a small forest hill far away from the Duke of Barrett's villa.

On the dark street, a black carriage stopped here. Dorothy sat in the dim carriage, using the puppeteer's ability to influence the Barrett Villa several kilometers away.

Under the influence of Dorothy's ability, her corpse puppets were quietly moving around in Barrett's villa. In addition to the corpse puppet of the male servant who was constantly searching for information in the underground secret room, Dorothy also monitored the movements of the group of eight-pointed killers in the villa by constantly switching and controlling the corpse puppets in the villa.

At this point, Dorothy had seen Kenk's previous conversation with the human-faced spider, and even his use of a syringe on one of his men.

"Spider Fang Priest... a Cretaceous-level vampire can be so respectful to him. This old man must be a Red-level extraordinary person! A high-ranking official of the Eight-pointed Nest..."

Using the perspective of a corpse in the villa, Dorothy looked at the old man who was transformed from George who was injected with blood in pain, and thought about it in her heart. She did not expect that the importance of Barrett's information would attract the personal intervention of Chi Chengjie.

"From their previous conversation, this series of actions against Barrett were planned by this Spider Fang Priest. At least four Cretaceous Orders who participated in the actions should be his subordinates. The reason why he himself could not come to Tivian was that he seemed to be afraid of the Radiant Cult in the Cathedral District."

Dorothy was thinking this in her heart. Because of Vanya, she had some understanding of the Great Priest of Glory in the cathedral district.

'Francesco...is the archbishop sent by Mount Saint to Tivian to be in charge of all religious affairs in the entire Prit Diocese. He is the highest representative of Mount Saint in Prit. Now it seems...he may be an extraordinary person of the Red Stage. In addition to him, each major diocese in other countries should have a archbishop of the Red Stage. The position of the archbishop of the Glow Church may be equivalent to the Red Stage.

'According to what those guys said just now, the great priest far away in the cathedral district possesses an ability called 'Rank Vision'. Because of this ability, the Spider Fang Priest can be discovered as long as he gets close to Tivian. That's why he has to use his Cretaceous subordinates to cause trouble.

'This so-called rank vision... seems to be a kind of detection ability specialized for high-level extraordinary beings. Although this ability seems to be a Red-level ability of "Lamp", for some reason, even the Spider Fang Priest, who is a Red-level "Shadow" extraordinary being, cannot fight against it. Logically speaking... a 'Lamp' of the same level should not have such a strong suppressive power against a 'Shadow' of the same level.

'So... this rank vision is not necessarily the ability of the great master himself. It may be an extraordinary item or something else. However, this thing may only be used or possessed by a great master at the Red Formation level.'

Dorothy analyzed and thought so. Before, when she was in the Werewolf Smith's mansion, she had already seen that the Glow Cult had extraordinary tools to further enhance its own detection capabilities. As the largest organization in the world, the richness of their extraordinary resources is difficult to match by other organizations.

'This Spider Fang Priest...seems to have used blood to directly corrode and possess a shadow-faced man. It's not the real one, but a derivative. In addition, he said that he used some tools, so this derivative avoided the rank vision to a certain extent. It seems that Bajian really values ​​the data in Barrett's hands. In the end, a Chicheng didn't hesitate to use his extraordinary resources to participate.

'There is also the Blood Darkness Path, which uses blood to corrode other people's bodies to create derivatives. It is a bit similar to the Deer Skull's Cursed Bone Clone. Both use a part of their own body as a medium to create clones. However, this old man is blood and the Deer Skull is bone. I feel that the Deer Skull is a bit disadvantaged...

"I don't know how this old man will find the secret room, but I have to hurry up anyway."

Dorothy continued to think. On the one hand, she continued to monitor the situation in the mansion, trying to see how this newcomer would find the secret room. On the other hand, she controlled the corpse of the male servant in the secret room to speed up the reading of the documents.

At this moment, Dorothy's bird-shaped corpse holding the holy emblem has successfully removed the iron fence at the entrance of the secret room's ventilation duct. Through the ventilation duct, Dorothy's bird-shaped corpse has come all the way to the ground, to the ventilation duct exit at a camouflaged point outside the villa.

However, at the exit, Dorothy's crow corpse encountered a second iron fence. Faced with this situation, Dorothy was a little helpless for a moment. She could only let the bird corpse with the sustenance buff on its body continue to use its claws to dismantle the fence. However, it was quite efficient and it didn't take long to dismantle it.

Although the opponent suddenly created a Red Cheng-level derivative to find the secret room, Dorothy was still not panicked. She only had a group of zombies over there, and her body was eight kilometers away from the villa. At this distance, her own safety was not a problem. She was surrounded by a group of zombies over there, and as long as the bird zombies could break through the iron fence and send the holy emblem over, everything would be fine.

With this in mind, Dorothy was doing three things at once. On the one hand, she was controlling the male servant corpse to try his best to search for information, on the other hand, she was monitoring the movements of the eight peaks in the villa, and on the other hand, she was controlling the bird-shaped corpse to try to break through the last iron fence.

䀴At this moment, in the room inside the villa, the derivative creature called Spider Fang Priest, which had just completed the transformation, also began to act.

At the moment when the shadow-faced man named George was completely eroded, the consciousness of the Spider Fang Priest in the distance successfully descended into the body of this young man. When his body completed the transformation, the eight-pointed killers surrounding him could not help but feel a strong, heartfelt sense of oppression and obedience, including Kenk. All of them knelt on the ground at the first moment and bowed their heads deeply to the skinny balding old man. No one dared to feel dissatisfied or afraid of George's end.

Many of the Eight-Pointed Assassins present could not recognize the old man in front of them, but they could feel the incomparable powerful pressure coming from him. Under this pressure, they only had the desire to obey in their hearts. They understood that this was the effect of the advanced chapter of "The Queen of Insects' Parade".

All members of the Eight-Pointed Nest have read the secret biography "The Queen's Procession". People who are affected by this secret biography will have different feelings of respect when reading different chapters. The higher the chapters read, the more suppressive they are to the lower chapters. Right now, the respect that this old man gives to the killers is even deeper than Kenke, so they naturally know the old man's status and kneel on the ground before he even says anything.

Inside the room of the villa, the Spider Fang Priest said nothing as he faced the people kneeling before him. He silently twisted his neck, adapting to his new body amid a series of joint clicking sounds. He then stood there with an unchanged expression. After a pause, he looked around and then slowly walked to a window, looking at the night view outside.

"Master Spiderfang Priest...you..."

Faced with the old man's behavior, Kenke, who was kneeling on the ground, was about to ask something. At this moment, the Spider Fang Priest standing by the window became blurry, and then turned into a group of bats and flew out of the window.

Seeing this scene, Dorothy was slightly startled, wondering if her bird-shaped corpse, which was dismantling the ventilation pipe outside the villa, was discovered because of the loud noise. However, after careful observation, Dorothy found that the bats were not heading towards her bird-shaped corpse, but were flying directly over the villa, where the corpse inside her villa could not see. Seeing this, Dorothy immediately changed the perspective of the corpse outside the villa, but because it was dark and the bats were flying too scattered and too high, she still could not see clearly.

In the dark night, far above the Barrett Villa, groups of bats transformed by the Spider Fang Priest were flying quickly, and they were flying faster and faster. During this dark flight, these bats began to change.

“Bang!”
