Following Tian's gesture, the four quietly began to advance, bypassing the base's perimeter and gradually approaching the location of the remains. The surrounding air grew increasingly heavy, with faint, low chanting sounds emanating from it, as if some dark force was quietly awakening.

However, just as they were about to approach the area where the remains were located, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, and a powerful energy wave suddenly came from afar, making them almost lose their footing.

"What happened?" Lu Mingfei asked in surprise.

Tian's expression turned serious, his gaze fixed ahead: "The power of the dragon race has awakened."

The tremors grew stronger, as if the ground beneath their feet was cracking open, accompanied by a deep rumble. The four of them stopped abruptly, instantly going on high alert. A sense of oppression filled the air, as if some powerful force was awakening, distorting the surrounding space.

"Quick, take cover!" Tian commanded in a low voice, quickly leading the team to find a hidden place to hide. The four of them crouched down almost simultaneously, leaning against the slippery rock wall to minimize their exposed area.

"This is... the aura of the dragon race?" Chu Zihang listened intently to the gradually intensifying fluctuations, his expression changing slightly. "Its power seems to be much stronger than we expected."

Caesar's expression also turned serious: "Could it be that the Camarilla have already started the ritual to revive the remains? Could they have finished it ahead of schedule?"

Tian didn't answer immediately. He stared ahead, calmly analyzing the surrounding situation: "We're getting closer and closer to our target location, which should be in the core area of ​​the base. That aura does indeed resemble the energy fluctuations generated when the dragon remains are revived, but we must ensure that the mission is not disrupted. We must destroy the remains."

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth, his voice trembling slightly: "Can we handle it? If the dragon remains that have been revived this time are intact, and the Camarilla is manipulating things behind the scenes, our mission will become even more dangerous."

Tian turned to look at him, his tone still calm: "Our mission is to destroy the resurrected remains, not to fight it. We must avoid it and try not to alert it until we complete the mission."

However, just as the four were preparing to continue, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps and shouts in the distance, clearly indicating that the Camarilla defenders had noticed something amiss. Immediately afterward, a dazzling light erupted from the center of the Camarilla base ahead, illuminating the entire valley.

“It seems we can no longer continue our stealth.” A resolute glint flashed in Chu Zihang’s eyes. “They have already noticed our arrival; a battle is inevitable.”

Tian Shen glanced at them, a resolute glint in his eyes: "Alright, let's begin. Destroy the remains, disrupt the Camarilla's plans. Under no circumstances can we allow the dragons' power to revive."

Caesar raised his weapon, his smile unchanged, but his eyes held a chilling glint: "Today is a good day. Cheer up, let's start the war!"

Lu Mingfei began to prepare his weapons. Although he was apprehensive, he knew that this battle was inevitable and that there was no turning back for them.

The four quickly traversed the forest, approaching the core area of ​​the base. As they drew nearer, the energy fluctuations grew stronger, as if an uncontrollable force was quietly rising in the air. Every step was fraught with danger, but they knew time was running out; they had to destroy the remains before the enemy could fully activate the ritual.

Not far away, the Camarilla were busy at work. Members controlling the ritual stood in the rune array, chanting ancient incantations. The surrounding air was distorted by powerful energy, as if some kind of huge impact was about to erupt at any moment.

“We have to go around them,” Tian said in a low voice, “and try not to attract their attention.”

However, just as they were about to pass through a grove of trees, suddenly, the ground shook again, and a deafening, piercing dragon roar erupted. The sound was like the heavens and earth splitting apart, almost rupturing their eardrums. Immediately afterward, a beam of purple light shot out from the Camarilla's position, illuminating the entire valley, the light containing terrifying energy fluctuations.

"It's over!" Caesar whispered. "This must be a sign of their resurgence!"

Without hesitation, Tian quickly commanded, "Spread out, break their formation, and cover me as I destroy the remains! Move out!"

The four immediately split up and rushed in different directions, attempting to bypass the Camarilla's defenses.

Lu Mingfei followed closely behind, his heart pounding. Although he had prepared himself, he still couldn't help feeling nervous facing such a powerful enemy. The members of the Secret Society ahead had begun organizing a counterattack, wielding runic weapons and aiming them at the four-man squad.

"Stop them!" the Secret Society commander shouted, and several members wielding rune-inscribed spears immediately charged toward Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei gritted his teeth and swung his blade to meet the enemy. He swiftly blocked the enemy's attack with his knife, his agile movements allowing him to move freely through the enemy's assault, but the enemy was clearly prepared, and their attacks became increasingly intense.

"Mingfei, hurry! Destroy the remains!" Tian's voice came from afar, and his figure quickly disappeared on the other side of the Secret Party's position. He had obviously entered the core area of ​​the remains resurrection ritual.

Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, quickly broke through the enemy's defenses, and rushed towards the location of the remains. His heart was pounding, but he knew that only by destroying the remains as soon as possible could he stop the dragon's power from reviving.

Meanwhile, Caesar and Chu Zihang were engaged in fierce combat with the elite members of the Camarilla. Caesar skillfully wielded his rune gun, accurately repelling the enemy, while Chu Zihang provided cover from the side, his calm gaze revealing his fearlessness in battle.

However, as they approached the area where the remains were located, the oppressive feeling grew stronger. The energy fluctuations in the air increased dramatically, as if the entire mountain range was trembling with that power. The aura of the dragons surged in like a tidal wave, suffocating them.

Finally, Lu Mingfei rushed into the area where the remains were located, and the scene before him shocked him—a huge dragon's remains were surrounded by members of the Camarilla, and the rune array emitted a dazzling light, as if it was close to being revived.

“This is the power the Camarilla wants!” Lu Mingfei’s heart pounded. He quickly drew his weapon and began attacking the rune array.

Just then, the Camarilla commander in the distance finally realized that the four had broken through the defenses, and their plan was in danger of being thwarted. Suddenly, the entire rune array erupted with a brilliant light, as if a giant energy core had been ignited.

A wave of light swept across the area, thickening the surrounding air and seemingly freezing time itself. The power of the dragon remains gradually awakened within the rune array, the massive dragon bones emitting deep, resonant vibrations, like an ancient groan from the depths of the earth. As the light erupted, the energy of the rune array began to fluctuate violently, and the outline of the remains gradually became clearer, as if that immense power was about to devour everything.

Lu Mingfei's heart was pounding in his chest. He knew perfectly well that if the remains before him were to revive, it would not only be a threat to them, but a catastrophe for the entire world. The Camarilla had clearly come close to their ultimate goal, and if the remains were not destroyed at this moment, the resurgence of the dragons would be an unstoppable torrent.

"Heavens!" Lu Mingfei cried out urgently, "We must destroy the rune array immediately! It's almost finished!"

Tian's voice came from afar, tinged with suppressed tension: "Mingfei, we can't let it revive! Destroy the formation, quickly!"

Lu Mingfei swung his blade forcefully, unleashing a blue light carrying a powerful gust of air as it slashed towards a portion of the rune array. With the collision of the blades, the light within the rune array began to dim slightly, but quickly regained its original brilliance, as if it had been ignited into an even more ferocious state.

"Damn it! Its energy is backfiring!" Lu Mingfei shouted, feeling a powerful force rebounding from the rune array, making him almost unable to stand.

Just then, the Camarilla commander sneered and abruptly raised his rune staff towards the remains: "Prepare to welcome the Dragon King's resurrection! Let it rise again and destroy everything!"

Lu Mingfei's heart tightened; he immediately realized that the Secret Society had completely taken control of the resurgence process. He couldn't delay any longer! He quickly pulled out a specially made explosive rune bullet and threw it without hesitation at the center of the rune array.

"Run!" Lu Mingfei shouted.

Almost instantly after he finished speaking, the explosive rune bomb shattered violently, the intense light and shockwave causing the ground to tremble and the energy in the air to become chaotic. Cracks appeared in the rune array, the dazzling light vanished instantly, and the revival process of the dragon remains was abruptly interrupted.

But at the same time, the smile on the Camarilla commander's face vanished instantly, replaced by an angry roar: "You deserve to die!" He strode forward, brandishing his rune staff, and the surrounding air vibrated once more.
