307: Hunting Infected Queen

"World-level Grand Array."

The members of the Star Council, who had already gained much valuable knowledge from the Undead Race, naturally understood this common sense and secretly marveled, "As expected of a race that has existed since the last epoch, their heritage is truly extraordinary."

The Seat of Wang's eyes held scrutiny: "This grand array can suppress the Infected Mother Queen, so it must be deployed. However, I want to know if this grand array will also suppress us, the members of the Star Council."

The Undead Clan Great Elder guaranteed: "Of course not. How could we attack our allies? After all, our Undead Race is a renowned great race, and we would naturally not do such a thing."

The Seat of Wang nodded, seemingly believing him, but the members of the Star Council would not easily trust the other party's lies.

"That's good. It's getting late, so let's quickly discuss a plan."

"Furthermore, before entering, you need to pay a certain reward. After all, I can't let those under my Star Council enter for free."

The Undead Race stated the discussed countermeasures one by one, and the Star Council naturally could not accept them entirely, so they modified some conditions.

In addition, after intense discussion, three Heavenly Artifacts (S-rank) and one Semi-World Artifact were obtained as advance payment.

Furthermore, many well-forged Treasure Artifacts were acquired by the Star Council and distributed to the Star Council powerhouses participating in this expedition.

Half a day later,

The Undead Race and the strong individuals of the Star Council each found a position and placed their altar-like array cores. Originally, the eight array cores were to be placed by eight Undead Race Elders. Now, three of them were personally placed by the Star Council. Although the other party was reluctant, they ultimately agreed, as it was just a matter of finding a spot on the ground and activating it.

Tang Ping also held an array core in his hand. Behind him was an Undead Race Elder, who seemed to be staring intently at him, guarding against any tricks Tang Ping might pull.

The array core landed steadily and was then activated. It appeared to be without any abnormalities. The array cores in the other seven directions were quickly activated as well, and layers of ripples stirred in the space. A faint grey mist rapidly enveloped the entire core area of Jiangcheng.

The Undead Race Elder behind Tang Ping's face lost its tension, revealing a relaxed smile. He extended his hand to Tang Ping: "Sir, please. I hope our two races will work together to kill this evil beast."

"Of course." Tang Ping smiled and stepped into the array.

The Undead Race Elder behind him suddenly had a sinister look in his eyes and snorted coldly: "To dare to kill our Undead Clan Great Elder, we will never rest until you are dead."

He then also entered the grand array. The grand array seemed to have formed its own space, completely isolated from the outside world. The Infected Mother Queen clearly detected the abnormality. One by one, the fleshy tumors on her body opened, revealing crimson eyeballs. These eyeballs quickly fell off, exploded on the ground, and powerful Infected emerged. Some of these Infected guarded the surroundings, while others charged towards the Star Council and the Undead Race powerhouses.

Many people entered the array. Besides the nine Elders, the Undead Race also had hundreds of clansmen under their command, responsible for severing the Infected Mother Queen's blood vessels.

The Star Council also dispatched many people. Because the alliance publicly recruited, anyone who entered could receive top-grade Treasure Artifacts, equivalent to B-rank and A-rank extraordinary weapons and item rewards, and would receive another one afterward. Therefore, a considerable number of people signed up for this operation, but the alliance also had a requirement: the minimum strength had to be Level Four.

In secret, the alliance also distributed a star-shining token to everyone through the trading area. They could choose to activate it when in danger, after which they would return to the Star Council's temporary command post.

It was precisely for this reason that the Seat of Wang did not enter the grand array, and Wang Haitao also remained at the temporary command post.

"I wonder what moves the Undead Race will make this time. I always feel that their intentions are not simple." Wang Haitao frowned, looking at the core area of Jiangcheng below. The Infected Mother Queen was already out of sight, apparently shielded by the array.

The Seat of Wang's eyes were lowered, and a star-like brilliance shimmered in an egg-sized crystal ball in her hand: "Don't worry, no matter what they do, they must clear out the Infected Mother Queen. If they dare to attack our alliance, I will make them pay a heavy price."

"I hope everyone succeeds. After this is done, the Undead Race has promised three Semi-World Artifacts! And we can freely choose many Heavenly Artifacts and Treasure Artifacts from their secret vault." Wang Haitao knew that his foundation was much shallower compared to the other two major bases, so he was very much looking forward to this.

The Seat of Wang, however, showed a meaningful smile: "Do you remember the terms of the Semi-World Artifact transaction written in the contract?"

Wang Haitao was puzzled, nodding: "Of course, I know. Wasn't it four Semi-World Artifacts, to be personally handed to our four hands, and after the hidden danger is successfully resolved, they must be delivered within two hours, otherwise the three Undead Race ancestors will suffer a backlash from the contract?"

"Yes." The Seat of Wang's gaze was distant, with brilliant starlight shimmering in her eyes, "So, I never intended to take these four Semi-World Artifacts."

Wang Haitao was immediately startled: "This, you, so, that's what you plan to do!"

"That's good, that's good. This way, our Star Council Alliance can dominate this place. I wonder how many Sons of Heaven that River of Fortune will nurture." Wang Haitao looked up at the sky, but found nothing. His strength was not yet enough to peer into the sky above this place, that gradually recovering River of Fortune.

"I wonder what this thing looks like."

The Seat of Wang smiled. She could indeed see it; it was just a small river.

But this small river, without any support, did it really appear out of thin air? The Seat of Wang's eyes held contemplation.

At this moment, inside the array, Tang Ping looked at the entry and exit token in his hand, then threw it into the ancient primeval world. He had never intended to rely on this item for entry and exit.

Around him, countless Infected became frenzied, instantly surrounding Tang Ping.

"It seems the Infected Mother Queen has also sensed the danger." Flames erupted around Tang Ping, and the Infected within a hundred meters instantly turned to ashes.

Roar! Three Fifth-level Infected still hadn't died after the flames dissipated.

"S-rank Talent!" Tang Ping narrowed his eyes. "What treasure did this Infected Mother Queen consume to be able to mass-produce Infected of this level! She absolutely cannot be allowed to live on!"

He clenched his hand, and two powerful flames intertwined in his palm. His figure flickered, appearing behind an Infected, and a violent flaming palm instantly pressed down!

A crimson-gold figure flashed out, charging towards the two Fifth-level Infected. Its golden eyes were like two mountains, carrying terrifying oppressive force.

These two Fifth-level Infected half-crouched, roared, and charged towards the Great Emperor Moth.

And the Infected under Tang Ping's palm also had flames rising from its body. Tang Ping's eyes flashed with brilliance as a red lotus enveloped it.

Traces of pure flame power began to flow into his body.

He was devouring this Infected's Fire Talent.

That Fifth-level Infected still tried to struggle, but unfortunately, that seemingly fragile and illusory red lotus firmly trapped it.

After half an hour, this Fifth-level Infected turned to ashes, and Tang Ping's eyes showed surprise.

"That's quite a lot."
