Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Uncle Fu held one hand up, and in his palm floated a green crystal, no bigger than a ring, emitting a mesmerizing and dazzling halo.

Nangong Ru and the others sat around, bathed in the green light. They could feel the abundant life energy constantly nourishing their bodies, and soon their HP and various basic attributes gradually recovered to more than 50%.

The green crystal also dimmed and lost its luster, falling into Uncle Fu's palm.

Uncle Fu said calmly, "This is the crystal of the Fountain of Life that we found in the Dusk Forest last time. There's only this small piece left. It can help you restore some of your life, but the toxins from the vampires in your bodies haven't been completely eliminated yet, so your vitality will continue to drop. But at least it can help you get through this period for now."

Nangong Ru nodded: "Thank you."

Nangong Qiuyue asked worriedly, "Sister, what kind of poison did you get? With your strength, how come you couldn't resist it?"

"I don't know." Nangong Ru glanced at the wound on her thigh, paused, and said, "I suspect it's some kind of special toxin created by the vampires targeting human genes."

"Oh?" Uncle Fu raised an eyebrow: "A genetic weapon?"

"I heard a long time ago that the Dark Races were researching genetic weapons to counter all the races, but so many years have passed and I have never seen them use them on the battlefield. I always thought that it was just something the Dark Races used to scare the races."

"It seems they've already succeeded in their research." Nangong Ru took a deep breath.

The Night's Watch put the bodies of their dead companions in body bags.

Nangong Qiuyue stood to the side, clasped her hands together, and bowed silently.

Jiang Xiaoming and his teammates looked at the corpses of the dead night watchmen from afar, their faces slightly pale and unsightly.

Although as students of the War Academy, they had received rigorous war education from a young age, carried out many missions, and understood their destiny as warriors, this was the first time they had witnessed death in battle against the dark races so closely.

Gao Shenxue and Xia Xiyao had already been exposed to it in the simulated war and were now basically adapted.

"By the way," Nangong Ru asked, "Your Highness Long Ying, what about that Bao Bingqing you mentioned before...?"

Long Ying said calmly, "He has already been killed by his subordinate Liang Kuan, and Dark City has been destroyed."

"Destroyed?"

"Yes, his daughter used dark blood for a long time and eventually transformed into a monster. After destroying the entire Dark City, she died."

“…” Nangong Ru fell silent and said nothing more.

Ye Ge turned her head and glanced at Long Ying.

Long Ying's words were quite unexpected.

It seems that Long Ying and the others have reached some kind of agreement with Bao Bingqing?

"Does that mean our mission is complete?"

Xiao Wu said happily, "The leader of the rebellious forces in the wilderness is dead, so the Dark Blood will no longer circulate in human territory. At the same time, we also found out that the imperial noble who colluded with the leader of the rebellious forces is Duke Wang En... Now we can go back to the mainland to report back!"

Nangong Ru nodded. "Mm." Then she sighed softly, "Sigh..."

"Sister Ru, the source of the Dark Blood has been eradicated, and Dark City has been destroyed. Why are you still sighing?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.

“Although Bao Bingqing is dead, there will definitely be a second or third Bao Bingqing in the future.” Nangong Ru said, “As long as the first and second lines of defense are not completed, the environment in the wilderness will not change. Wildfire cannot burn it all, and the spring breeze will bring it back to life. In order to survive, the people in the wilderness will soon gather new wilderness forces and wilderness bandits.”

"Uh..." Xiao Wu paused, seemingly confused, then scratched his head.

"drop"

Ye Ge looked ahead and saw a transparent system panel pop up.

[Due to player intervention, the original storyline of the game has been altered.]

[The current plot twist rate is 91%. The rewards for this hidden quest will be distributed after the main story quest is completely completed. The higher the plot twist rate, the richer the rewards.]

Please complete the ending quests to claim your rewards.

[1. Please inject the inhibitor into Ququ's body within one hour.]

[2. Defeat Viscount Brian, the vampire in his second form.]

Ye Ge raised an eyebrow.

Brian the vampire in his second form? ??

Could it be that......

After Old Zheng and several other watchmen packed up all their companions' bodies, they went to Brian's body.

Although the corpse was completely disfigured, with almost all facial features gone, the only thing that could be clearly seen was a mouth with its upper and lower jaws wide open, while the other parts such as the eyes, nose, and forehead were mangled and bloody.

"Give me a hand." Old Zheng lifted Brian up by the shoulders.

Although this vampire's corpse has been beaten to a pulp, it was still a noble viscount among the vampires, possessing the strength of the Asura Realm. Taking it back would make it a very valuable research sample, and if all else fails, it could be given to the students of the War Academy for dissection...

"Don't touch him!" Ye Ge's expression suddenly turned serious. "Stay away from him!"

"Huh?" Old Zheng and the other two young night watchmen who were helping to carry the body were all stunned, not understanding what Ye Ge meant.

At that moment, Brian in their hands suddenly came back to life as if he had been resurrected from the dead!

Brian suddenly stretched out his hands and grabbed the necks of the two young night watchmen with each hand.

With a "crack," the sharp, pointed fingernails crushed their throats!

At the same time, he opened his mouth wide, revealing sharp, bloody teeth, and stretched out his neck to bite down hard on Lao Zheng's neck!

"ah......!!!"

Old Zheng let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Nangong Ru, Xia Xiyao, Long Ying, Cang Feng, Scarface Hu and the others turned around in shock.

Old Zheng was terrified and desperately tried to push him away.

Unfortunately, he quickly lost the strength to resist; the arm he had been desperately trying to push away stopped moving and fell limply to his side...

In just a few seconds, Old Zheng's skin turned pale, and his body quickly withered, turning into a thin, skeletal corpse! Only his two eyeballs remained wide open!

"Bang..."

Brian drained Old Zheng's blood and shoved him aside, releasing the two young Night's Watchmen he had killed, before slowly rising to his feet.

His rotten flesh, blood-stained skin, and wounds were healing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Ye Ge's eyes darkened.

He checked Brian's stats panel and saw that his stats were rapidly recovering, with his health points soaring from 0% to 100%!
