Vampire's Slice Of Life - Chapter 411
Chapter 411 Lnvading The Main Area
Lith threw the token on the barrier and retreated to a safe distance. He observed the token from a few meters away while ensuring that others were on guard and ready for what was about to happen.
The token stuck itself to the barrier and yellow strands of energy spread out from the token in all directions on the barrier. Within moments, a good chunk of the barrier got covered by these thin yellow strings.
The token then started glowing. As Lith looked at it, he could see the seven tails of the scorpion shaking slightly.
After the tails, it was the scorpion itself that started moving and in just a few seconds, the entire inscription of the scorpion came to life and got out of the token!
“Wow…” Dennis couldn’t help exclaim as he noticed the scorpion increase in size with each passing second.
A black seven-tailed scorpion shining with golden light appeared in front of everyone. The scorpion wasn’t something living but the artifact itself. It got onto the barrier formed by the array and started crawling on it.
As it crawled, minor cracks started appearing wherever it moved. The scorpion followed the lengths of the yellow energy strings on the barrier, expanding the cracks.
Soon…
The scorpion halted in its track and extended its stingers into the air and pierced the barrier in front of all seven of its stingers.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
The barrier’s cracking intensified and with a loud explosion, it completely broke in the areas where the strings were.
The intensity of the explosion sent shockwaves rippling through the area. Had Lith and his squad not been prepared, they would’ve been sent flying in the air. Their readiness to bear the brunt of the explosion prevented them from getting injured.
WOOOOOOOM!
Alarms went off in the main area as the barrier broke and inside the control room in the main area, people were running around in panic.
“What the hell! How did those guys penetrate the barrier!?” The one incharge of the control room shouted.
“Chief, inform the Clan Head! There’s no time to waste!” A guy looking at the broken barrier on the screen said hurriedly.
The incharge in the room, a brown-haired man, nodded his head and quickly left to meet the Clan Head.

“So the barrier broke…” Senzal, the Clan Head, said simply while sipping on some tea in the courtyard of the main area.
“Clan Head, this is?”
“I know. Don’t worry. Everything is under control. Ask the people to stabilize the array formation and calm them down. This isn’t too big of a deal. The ones who have entered the territory are just a bunch of youngsters.” Senzal was looking at the entire thing on his tablet and was relieved to know that it wasn’t someone of high ranking.
They sure did break through the barrier with an artifact but what would they do after? Did they not think it through before causing such an explosion that alerted the clan?
Senzal was slightly surprised to know that these bunch of youngsters just barged in without thinking things through. Did the Shadow River Sect not care about them or are these bunch just some fools who don’t know what it means to clash with a Saint Rank power directly?
Whatever the case, Senzal was calm. The elven army was still stuck in customs in the Elven Continent, but no worries. He still had his own people, the small families and powers from Redstone City and not to mention…
‘I have the CNC in my pockets. Things will be fine.’ Senzal was looking at the tablet screen calmly and thinking of this.
The control room chief left to stabilize the situation. Once he went away, Senzal took out another tablet from his ring and longingly gazed at the two treasures on it.
On the screen, there was the image of a jade box and inside the box, there were two treasures. One was a blue crystalline fruit that seemed as if it contained all eight oceans of the world.
The other was a small ancient pot. It was transparent and one could see a dark red colored viscous liquid inside it.
“The 100,000 years old Water Lychee and the blood of the Konzak Tree…” Senzal said softly.
He was looking at the most important treasures of the Kenzal Clan. He wanted to get his hands on them ever since he learned that the Kenzal clan had obtained them.
The Water Lychee was from an extremely rare plant. It was obviously not a normal lychee tree and was only called so because of the appearance it had. It looked like a fruit of lychee and rumors said that it tasted the same as well, hence the name.
Nobody had ever heard of a Water Lychee that was harvested from a 100,000 years old plant. The ones that were available in the markets were usually from a thousand year old plant or hundred year old ones.
A lychee harvested from a tree that exceeded a thousand years of age was not available in the market.
The Kenzal Clan was bound to have lots of riches if they sold this Water Lychee. They could probably rival the Shadow River Sect’s net worth which was at a whopping one thousand Low-Grade Magic Stones!
This was roughly equivalent to a trillion dollars from Earth.
Senzal was well informed about it. The only reason Kenzal didn’t sell the lychee or the blood of the Konzak Tree was because he was keeping it as security for himself and the clan.
The blood of the Konzak Tree was also something that would easily sell for such a high amount, but it wasn’t something rare in the world. People knew the way to harvest it and so the mystery of how it came into existence was not there and people were more interested in the lychee than the blood.
But despite people’s low interest, Senzal knew its true value and he was sure that there were people like him out there who knew its true value as well.
The Konzak Tree was an extinct species of trees. It only grew in battlefields and not just any battlefield, but the places where immortals have died, that is, Saint Rank and above. Not only that, to keep itself alive, it had to feed on the blood of sentient beings periodically.
The tree didn’t have a way to kill people or get blood for itself. It was no wonder that it went extinct. But the important thing was that, blood from the Konzak Tree won’t seep out unless it’s at least ten thousand years old.
Being ten thousand years old meant that the tree would constantly need to feast on the blood of immortals for ten thousand years. and the older it was, the better would be the quality of the blood.
Senzal knew this, but the general public did not seem to have realized such a thing. They could only see the brilliance of the Water Lychee and were blinded by it.
Looking at the vial, Senzal smirked and said softly, “Kenzal, Oh Kenzal… Even you are an ignorant fool who doesn’t know the value of this.”
The uses of both the things were known by Senzal. The rest of the world, including Kenzal, had little to no knowledge about it. They just knew it was rare and if consumed, something magical was bound to happen.
Senzal really knew his enemy well and there was no doubt that he had such information.
Meanwhile on Kenzal’s side…
