This time, Eric Hoffman's expedition is tasked with the vampire bishop's attempt to capture a legendary zombie from the Xia Kingdom to study.

Because Lord Bishop thinks that zombies have similar abilities to their bloodline, unlike the zombies and soul corpses of Voodoo who only know how to gnaw indiscriminately, zombies also have fangs and can suck blood.

And the high-level zombies in the legends of the East are even more god-like, if they can obtain that kind of power, they will definitely be able to increase their strength, even if they can't become the legendary blood prince who is the top of the clan, they can become a duke or just an earl, and it is also very powerful for the bishop who is still only a baron.

This will greatly improve his status in the Holy Court, especially the Holy Court has a lot of inconvenient things to do, ordinary white gloves are not enough, and it takes a powerful dark powerhouse to throw the pot to the dark forces, this is the bishop's meritorious opportunity.

So he sent this expedition to the Far East.

According to the intelligence network of the Holy Court, they asked the area with the greatest possibility of zombies from the population of the Xia Kingdom, that is, the Xiangxi region, a famous corpse chasing resort.

Therefore, Eric Hoffman set the location of the operation in Hunan Province, and the church in Gantian Town was one of the deepest strongholds of the Holy Court of Light in the inland land of Xia, and it happened to be close to Xiangxi, so it naturally became the joint party of this expedition.

While the ship on which Eric Hoffman's expedition was on was still sailing on the sea, the Holy See's men in Hunan Province had already gathered all the relevant information.

There are indeed many rumors of zombies in various parts of Hunan Province, but they are basically news from the past, and those places where there are real zombies, zombies have also been eliminated by local or passing practitioners.

This made it impossible for the expedition to catch a zombie and return it to the vampire bishop for research.

However, there is a place where the existence of zombies can be confirmed, and that is Tengzhen, which is on the border of Gui Province and Hunan Province next door.

But it is already a terrible area that has been classified as a forbidden area by the local government, and it is said that the entire town has been occupied by zombies, and thousands of zombies have turned the town into a ghost.

Eric Hoffman, though he thinks he has some very human means, is not going to do the suicidal foolish act of bravely breaking into a monster's lair.

So I temporarily lived in the church in Gantian Town and waited for news.

When Father Frick's eyes and ears met Wang Ergou and a few people in the town's restaurant, and heard Wang Ergou boast to others that there was an ancient tomb in the forbidden land behind their village to suppress the legend of zombies, the expedition team that got the news was idle for several days, and with the idea of playing two poles with and without dates, they successfully hired Wang Ergou to lead the way to the forbidden place in Jiangmu Village for a little money.

Unexpectedly, this exploration found a problem.

Because of the suppression of the evil qi of the forbidden land, although it has been digested for hundreds of years and controlled by the formation, it can still sense the existence of some exposed evil qi, which is a situation for the Eric Hoffman expedition.

With the negative energy detection equipment provided by the Holy Court in their hands, they could roughly detect the existence of ghosts, vampires and other negative energy monsters, and the instrument reacted after coming to Jiang Mu Village.

If this is all there is to it, most of these foreigners are like many cultivators who have come to Jiangmu Village for hundreds of years to return in vain, and they can't find out the true situation of the forbidden land in the back mountain at all, they just feel that this is just a place where evil qi gathers.

But Eric Hoffman has the trust of the vampire bishop, and he happens to have a blood magic item in his hand as a hole card to save his life. That thing contained the essence blood of a powerful demonic beast, and it was this breath of essence blood that caused the body of the demon corpse suppressed by Jiang Ji in the tomb of King Wuling under the forbidden land to riot, and then Jiang Ji was busy suppressing it, and the large array of aura was disordered, exposing the real tomb palace to the eyes of the foreign expedition.

Eric and the others who found an ancient tomb couldn't help but be overjoyed, even if there was no zombie in this kind of tomb, it was a good time to make a fortune, and any burial item was taken to the auction house in Europa, it would be at least a few hundred pounds and thousands of pounds, which was definitely a million profits.

Not to mention that if it is some large gold and silver products, porcelain and other treasures, it is impossible to say that they can be auctioned for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of pounds, as long as there is one such treasure in the harvest, they can all become rich.

That's why the whole team of Eric Hoffman's expedition was so excited to see an unexplored "fresh" tomb.

Even Eric himself was pleasantly surprised, but he himself was still a little vigilant, and he had made all kinds of preparations to deal with all kinds of emergencies before going to the tomb.

It's just that after they blew open the tomb door and went down to the front of the underground palace, before they could use all the preparations, they were sucked up by the demon corpse who had just escaped from the trap and came and went like the wind, and lost their fresh lives.

The blood magic props originally prepared didn't have time to be activated, and they were taken away by the demon corpse and turned into nourishment for the other party.

Fortunately, Jiang Ji came in time to suppress the demon corpse, and the vampire bishop behind them was also a senior alchemist, and with the help of the power of the church, he had developed many potions and props with remarkable effects.

There are also things that restrain dark creatures like vampires.

For example, the sacred potion that Eric Hoffman got this time is a compound potion made of garlic, silver powder, verbena, sulfur, cinnabar, holy water, etc., with some industrial raw materials as the main ingredients, and its function is to bring great trauma to dark creatures such as vampires and werewolves, and can play a role in resisting transformation after the human body is injected with toxins by vampires.

In addition to vampires, it also has excellent resistance to the transformation of ghouls and werewolf toxins.

Of course, because vampires need to suck people's blood dry and then inject their own blood into their own blood to transform their offspring, once they take this sacred potion, although the first embracer will not be successfully transformed, they will not be able to save their lives, and can only die as a corpse that has been sucked dry of blood.

Moreover, the sacred potion is also poisonous to people, but a small amount is not enough to be fatal, so even the most devout clergy will not use it lightly until the last resort.

Eric, an adventurer who is not a devout believer in his own right, is even more desperate, if he is attacked by a vampire, he may accept the fate of being transformed, after all, vampires will also retain the memories of life, it is better than death,

But being bitten by an unknown zombie must have become a monster without wisdom and losing his mind, so after Eric was attacked by the demon corpse, before he completely lost his life, he immediately drank the divine potion to himself, so as not to get a good sleep after death, and even lose the opportunity to go to heaven or even hell.

His assistant John was the most loyal to him, and he was the only expedition member other than Eric who chose to take the divine potion, and the other expedition members either hesitated or didn't have a chance, and in the end, only these two people took the holy potion, so they retained some sanity under the conflict between the evil and the divine potion brought by the demon corpse attack, and were not directly transformed into zombies, but were in a state of neither death nor life.
