1201 Autobiography

"I read in the Alchemy Society that there are only a few 'keys' to the alchemy magic array. They could be imprints of spiritual power with a fixed frequency, special crystal runes, or bloodline."

Bloodline!

This word made Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue's hearts skip a beat at the same time.

When he thought about the royal family's inheritance mission that the two of them had triggered, the answer was obvious!

Fang Heng immediately turned his head to look at Tang Mingyue beside him. He activated the alchemy magic array in his hand again and said in a deep voice, "The blood of Andrast, the founder of the royal family, is most likely the 'key'. You are her descendant, so let's try using your blood."

"Alright!"

Tang Mingyue had the same thought. She walked quickly to Fang Heng's side and lowered her head to stare at the magic array.

When the alchemy magic array was covered in a layer of dim yellow light again, Tang Mingyue stretched out her wrist and cut it with the knife in her left hand.

"Swish!"

The blood flowed down Tang Mingyue's wrist and landed on the alchemy magic array, which was instantly absorbed!

The alchemy magic array immediately reacted and released a red light. A faint red pattern appeared.

In a short three seconds, the light dissipated.

"Ka ka…"

There was a slight sound, like the sound of space breaking.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.

Not far away, on the right side of the stone statues of the Empire's ancestors, right above a broken altar, the space was wrapped in a layer of white light.

In the white light, two thin books and five rings faintly appeared.

"Pa!"

In an instant, the white light dissipated, and the two books fell onto the altar below.

The five rings took some time to drop down. After they landed on the altar, they bounced a few times and fell to the ground around them.

The crowd immediately walked towards the altar and gathered around it.

Fang Heng sized up the altar carefully.

It was a very ordinary altar, and it looked like it had been damaged by the battle and a small part of it had shattered.

Two thin books fell on the stone platform.

There were five very ancient-looking rings scattered on the ground. It was impossible to judge their material for the time being, but at first glance, they seemed to be made of stone.

Everyone quickly exchanged glances.

"Alright, I'll do it."

Fang Heng took the lead to walk forward under the gaze of the others and touched the book on the stone platform.

[Hint: Player has received important items-Andrast's autobiographies 1 and 2.]

[Item: Andrast's autobiography 1 and 2.]

Type: Book type

Description: Andrast's handwritten autobiography. Most of the content talks about the records of the demonic seeds she encountered when she was young.

Description: This item is an important item and cannot be placed in your backpack. At the end of the trial, this item will be exchanged for 100,000 King of Gods' points.

It was worth 100,000 King of Gods' points!

Two books, a total of 200,000 King of Gods' points!

That much?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat and he immediately opened the book to read.

However, the moment he opened the book and saw the language recorded on it, he frowned.

"Hey? This is the language of the ancient Empire. Let me do it, I understand."

Sandy had already approached Fang Heng out of curiosity.

Seeing the words in the book, Sandy's eyes immediately lit up. He took the book from Fang Heng's hands and read it at once.

Fang Heng had no choice but to focus on the rings that were left on the ground.

He walked forward and bent down to pick up one of the rings.

[Hint: The player has discovered an item-the Lord of the Ring of the Empire.]

Description: A ring made by the founder of the Empire, Andrast. It symbolizes the royal power of the Empire and has the ability to suppress the bloodline 'demonic seed'.]

Description: Increases the strength of the bloodline 'demonic seed'.

Description: The wearer will receive a high amount of Empire reputation.

Description: A special item, cannot be placed in the backpack.

It was a very strange ring, and the game prompt description was even more confusing.

Wangnet stood beside Fang Heng and asked, "Fang Heng, did you find anything?"

Fang Heng shook his head and handed the ring to Wangnet.

"Try this and see if it's effective,"

Wangnet did not hesitate and put the ring on his finger.

He tried to sense the changes in his body, but Wangnet's expression was still a little ugly.

The effect was there, but it was fragile.

He could feel that the ring could slightly increase the power in his body, making it easier for him to control it, but it could not alleviate his body that was about to collapse.

On the other side, Tang Mingyue also picked up the other ring on the ground and tried to put it on.

"Woof! Whoosh…"

As soon as she put on the ring, the sealing rune mark on her wrist faded away uncontrollably.

Tang Mingyue's pupils suddenly contracted. She felt the power of the demonic seed surging into her body again!

Tang Mingyue almost groaned at the feeling of satisfaction.

The others had also noticed the change in Tang Mingyue and shifted their gazes to her.

Tang Mingyue stood where she was and took a deep breath. She felt her spiritual power that was as vast as the sea and had the urge to shout.

She was finally not a burden anymore!

Even though she was extremely excited, she still appeared calm on the surface, "The ring is tailor-made for me! The seal on my body has been broken, and I've recovered my strength."

"Yes, to be precise, it has improved slightly."

At the side, Sandy quickly finished flipping through the entire book. His face was first filled with shock, followed by doubt as he fell into deep thought.

"Fang Heng, this is the autobiography of the Empire's ancestor, Andrast. From the content of the book, Andrast led the team into the Cesar Forest and found the 'demonic seed'. At that time, the barbarian ancestors also found the demonic seed. Both of them came into contact with the demonic seed."

"After coming into contact with the demonic seed, only a very small number of people in the entire team survived, and those who survived all went crazy. Due to her special physique, Andrast was still able to maintain her consciousness, and she even obtained powerful strength from it."

"Later, with the help of the power from the demonic seed, she unified and established the entire Empire."

"But according to the book, the demonic seed is still her nightmare."

"As time went by, powerful and crazy monsters emerged from the Cesar Forest. The monsters brought great danger to the Empire and a rapidly spreading plague. Countless lives were lost in the plague. The terrible thing was that the plague was still spreading throughout the entire human Empire."

Wangnet frowned and said, "Yes, I've heard about the plague a long time ago. It's not just you humans. We barbarians also have a strange plague, but it's different from you humans. The plague brings death and power. Many barbarians awakened to the demonized state at that time."

Qiu Yaokang thought for a moment and analyzed, "I think the so-called plague might be a spreading virus."

1202 The Story

"The virus was airborne and spreads among humans, leading to a large number of deaths. Well, I think the virus must have used some medium to spread, so the effect of the virus has been weakened a lot, and the death rate has reduced significantly."

"Well, the mortality rate isn't high?" Sandy flipped through the autobiography in his hands. "It says that in the end, less than one-tenth of the human population survived the plague."

"The death rate is relatively low. When our world was attacked by the zombie virus, the death rate was close to 100%."

"In addition, the humans who survived the plague also benefited from the disaster. They were infected by the virus and their physical fitness was strengthened. Their descendants also inherited this strengthening, which is why traces of the virus can be found in the ordinary people of this world."

Qiu Yaokang tried to make an analysis after combining all the previous clues. He then raised his head and asked, "And then? what happened after that? Continue."

"Oh, okay. Because of the plague and the rapid spread of the monsters, the Empire is under great threat. Andrast has decided to lead the Empire's elites back to the Cesar Forest in secret, in order to completely destroy the 'demonic seed' left in the Cesar Forest."

Sandy continued to flip two pages of the book and said, "Unfortunately, it was too late. By the time they rushed to the Cesar Forest, they discovered that a powerful monster had already been born in the 'demonic seed'."

"The Empire's elite team led by Andrast analyzed and concluded that the monsters were the source of this large-scale plague. Only by eliminating the monsters can we completely stop this plague from spreading all over the world."

"At that time, the whole world was attacked by plagues and monsters. The afflicted cave-dwelling beasts, humans, and barbarians decided to work together to deal with the monsters."

"After paying a great price, the three forces used the alchemy array of the Empire's alchemy Saint, Aviligo, and the endless abyss that was discovered in the underground world to temporarily seal the abyssal demons in the endless abyss. It could be considered a temporary solution to the abyssal demons."

"After everything was over, when the Cesar Forest was finally cleared, people found that there was still a very small number of demonic seeds left after the birth of the demons."

"After the discussion, those who were present divided the remaining demonic seeds into three parts. The humans obtained one part and left it in the royal family for research, a small part was left in the underground world for the protection of the cave-dwelling beasts, and the last part was studied and kept by the barbarians."

"The three sides agreed that if the demonic creatures broke through the seal again, they would still contribute their strength and work together to eliminate the demonic creatures again."

"Since then, the alchemy Saint of the Empire, Aviligo, has been studying how to completely eliminate the demonic seed with the support of the Emperor, Andrast."

"After decades of research, Aviligo refined the demonic seed through alchemy and obtained great power from it. He was entrusted by His Majesty to set up an organization called the Saint and has been trying to find ways to completely exterminate the demons."

He closed it.

Demons, Saints…

Fang Heng pondered in his heart.

What Sandy said just now was undoubtedly the origin of the Saint and the abyssal demons.

They finally had a lead on the final boss.

Starting from the time when Andrast, the Emperor of the Empire, first established the Empire, the evil demons were quickly sealed in the abyss after they were discovered.

Fang Heng looked up at Sandy and asked, "Specifically? Where were the abyssal demons sealed? Does the book have a description of the location?"

"Uh, no. It's just that with the help of the cave-dwelling creatures, Andrast found an endless abyss. At that time. everyone thought that it was the most suitable place to seal monsters. The book didn't specify the specific location, but according to the description. it should be in the Empire's territory…"

Sandy flipped back a few pages to confirm and after pondering for a while, he said, "Give me some time to go back and investigate. I should be able to lock down the exact location of the endless abyss within a certain range."

"Right, the book also said that other than Andrast herself, her descendants more or less inherited some of the abilities from the 'demonic seed'."

"Yes, the virus has modified part of Andrast's genes, causing her descendants to also inherit part of the mutation. Therefore, the royal bloodline of the Empire has displayed a natural talent that far surpasses ordinary people."

Qiu Yaokang nodded and agreed, "That's right."

"According to my analysis, Andrast, the founder of the Empire, has a special physical quality. Her body mutated after it combined with the 'demonic seed' virus body, forming a mutated virus body."

"The virus is still living in Andrast's body after her death."

"Andrast seemed to have realized this as well, so she built the mausoleum and used an alchemy magic array to temporarily seal the 'demonic seed' in the corpse. In essence, Andrast was also trying to prevent the spread of the mutation virus."

"Although they don't have the concept of a virus, they may also understand this special infectious substance."

"After that, the mausoleum was invaded by an unknown enemy, and the virus in Andrast's corpse was stolen."

"Unfortunately, when the body was stolen, the magic array that sealed the bones was destroyed, causing part of the virus to leak out and spread, forming the mutated dark serpents we saw earlier."

Qiu Yaokang said as he picked up the bottle of white frost virus and showed it to everyone.

"The white frost should be the product of the reproduction of the virus left in some of the corpses."

[Hint: The player team has completed the current main storyline trial mission-mutated demonic seed.]

[Hint: The player party's friendship with Wangnet has greatly increased. The player party's basic friendship with the barbarians has increased.]

[Hint: The trial score of the player team has been greatly increased. The player team has received an additional 16 hours of game time.]

The game prompt appeared on Fang Heng's retina again.

Fang Heng glanced at Qiu Yaokang.

It seemed like he was right.

Wangnet frowned and stared at Sandy, "Alright, and then? What else did the autobiography say? The Empire's ancestors knew so much about the virus, so they should know how to restrain the virus 'backlash', right? Do you have any information on this?"

Sandy flipped back a few pages and explained, "Andrast is also affected by the virus. She's fighting against the demonic seed most of the time."

"After studying alchemy magic arrays, Aviligo found out that they could alleviate the backlash. Andrast then ordered him to seal the five rings that we just found. The purple essence can also temporarily weaken the backlash of the 'demonic seed'."

1203 Experimental Cooperation

"Other than the enlightenment stone, all other effects that can alleviate the backlash will affect the strength of the demonic seed, causing the body to suffer great pain at the same time. Therefore, Andrast has been searching for the enlightenment stone in the Cesar Forest."

Wangnet gritted his teeth and asked, "What else? Is there no other information?"

"That's all. The other book is filled with Andrast's records of her physical condition. Ever since she received the power of the demonic seed, Andrast would record the changes in her physical condition every day. There are only very normal and regular records in there. I can't find any clues."

Wangnet clenched his fists and his face darkened.

He was in a terrible mood.

He had spent so much effort to come here, but the final outcome was not very ideal.

The stone ring he had found was at most a temporary remedy, to increase his control over the blackthorn's power within him. It would not be able to buy him more time for his crumbling body!

"This ring is mine, you guys can split the rest."

Wangnet said as he pressed on the ring.

"Chi…"

The ring glowed with a faint light.

Wangnet tried to sense it and shook his head in dissatisfaction.

"Hey, big guy,"

"What?"

"Why don't you join my research? From my point of view, the backlash on your body is actually the virus's transformation of your body."

Qiu Yaokang looked at Wangnet and suggested, "Although you barbarians and humans originated from the same 'demonic seed' virus, the transformation of your virus is different. Give me some time to study it. I believe I have the ability to cure you."

"Really?" Wangnet's eyes lit up as he stared at Qiu Yaokang.

"Of course."

Qiu Yaokang shrugged.

In his view, the demonic seed virus was just a variant of the Hila virus.

Qiu Yaokang was more interested in the demon that was sealed in the abyss.

According to the description, the abyssal demon was the most successful one who had been modified by the virus and was the closest to the origin of the 'demonic seed' virus.

If he could find the main body…

"Why should I believe you?"

Qiu Yaokang pointed at Fang Heng and said, "Let's take him as a guarantee. He also has the virus in his body, which is much more powerful than the one in your body. But he's still alive and well."

Wangnet's brows were tightly locked together as he shifted his gaze to Fang Heng.

"Ahem."

Fang Heng coughed lightly when he saw that.

He was very familiar with this situation.

Qiu Yaokang was probably trying to trick Wangnet into going back to be his lab rat.

That was good too.

Wangnet had a Tier 3 demonized state and was extremely powerful.

It was necessary to tie him to his team!

"That's true." Fang Heng nodded immediately. "Mr. Qiu has been studying the antidote for the virus. He saved my life several times."

Qiu Yaokang's expression was cold. He took out the sample collector from his bag and said, "Don't doubt it. With the records left by Andrast, I believe my research will be faster. I'll be able to produce the preliminary results in three days. All you have to do is cooperate with me in my research. For example, right now, I need a blood sample from you."

Wangnet lowered his head and thought for a moment.

He had been searching for the demonic seed for so long, but in the end, he still failed. If someone else told him that there was a way to obtain the preliminary results within three days and also need to draw his blood, he would most likely kill the other party with one slap.

But Qiu Yaokang?

Oh well.

He had no better choice.

He had spent too much time searching for the Empire's Imperial mausoleum, and solving the problem of his body disintegrating was imminent. He did not have any better clues to continue his search, so he could only choose to take a gamble.

"Alright, I'll give you three days. I hope you won't disappoint me."

[Hint: Considering the player's friendliness, Wangnet has accepted Qiu Yaokang's experimental cooperation.]

"Of course, you have my promise."

Qiu Yaokang took five live samples from Wangnet with great satisfaction. He then walked to Tang Mingyue and gestured to the sample collector.

Tang Mingyue's face turned pale when she saw Qiu Yaokang, who looked like Frankenstein. She asked, "You also need to draw my blood? Didn't you already draw it last time?"

"It's different. The virus in your body had not completely fused with your body last time. Now that the virus has entered its outbreak period, the sample data will change. We can get more accurate data by extracting it again."

As Qiu Yaokang spoke, he expressionlessly took three tubes of samples from Tang Mingyue's body and carefully stored all the samples in a small metal box with satisfaction.

"That's enough. Time is tight and the mission is of top priority. Leave this place as soon as possible. I need to start the research and development immediately."

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded and looked around and said, "We can't stay here for long. Let's retreat first. There's still a tough battle outside."

After making sure that they did not miss anything, the group headed back in the direction of the exit of the silver door.

…

Outside the central area of the Imperial mausoleum and in front of the silver door, Warren activated the alchemy magic array again.

The door slowly opened before Warren's eyes.

"You guys are back."

Seeing that Fang Heng and the others had returned safely, Warren's gaze swept back and forth between them as if to confirm whether they had been corrupted by the demonic seed.

"We're fine. There's still quite a bit of discovery in the mausoleum. Let's leave this place first. We'll talk as we walk."

As he spoke, the group of Lickers and the fusion Tyrant forms behind Fang Heng also retreated from the central area of the Imperial mausoleum.

"Okay, sure."

Warren quickly controlled the silver alchemy door to close, and then immediately led the group toward the exit.

The bronze door at the exit opened, and a straight and deep passage appeared in front of them.

Warren left first and led the way.

Fang Heng and the others followed behind Warren, telling him what happened in the coffins in the Imperial mausoleum.

After learning that Fang Heng and the others had discovered Andrast's autobiography, Warren could not help but show a strange expression.

"Autobiography? And the seal of the Empire's royal bloodline?"

Warren couldn't help but look back at Tang Mingyue.

Only then did he know that Tang Mingyue actually had the bloodline of the Empire's royal family.

"Yes, it's true."

Fang Heng gave Sandy a look, and the latter reluctantly passed Andrast's autobiography to Warren for him to check.

"As expected…"

Warren didn't have the time to open the autobiography to read the specific content. Just by looking at the book, he already believed most of it.

After listening to Fang Heng's explanation of the information he had obtained from Andrast's autobiography, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Fang Heng was pondering how to pull Warren into his camp.

The inheritor of a Saint would be a powerful force.

"Warren, we've already cleared out all the demonic creatures in the Imperial mausoleum. There's no need for you to stay here any longer. We're all inheritors of the Saints, and we've already made some progress on the area where the abyssal demons are sealed. We'll need your help next."

1204 Mutated Creature

"Yes,"

Warren nodded and understood what Fang Heng meant.

He passed Andrast's autobiography back to Sandy and said in a deep voice, "I'll think about it after I've confirmed the internal safety of the Imperial mausoleum. Sydney will be back soon. I'll take you out of here first."

Fang Heng knew that he couldn't push him too hard, so he said, "Alright, I'm the feudal lord of the Land of Plague, Fang Heng. Come and find us anytime."

While they were talking, they had already reached the end of the passage.

The path ahead was once again blocked by a large bronze door.

"Be careful and stand behind me."

Warren said as he stepped forward and pressed his hands on the bronze door.

The alchemy magic array on the bronze door was activated.

"Ka ka ka…"

The bronze door slowly moved to the right.

Behind the door was a familiar hall.

It was the place where they had fought with Sydney.

Fang Heng looked into the hall and found that there was no one there.

The strange thing was that the alchemy magic array in the center of the hall was still in operation, and it was constantly emitting blue light.

"There's trouble."

Seeing the operating alchemy magic array, Warren's expression changed slightly. He hurried into the hall and pressed his hands on the magic array.

Seeing that there was something wrong with Warren's expression, everyone quickly followed him and stood around him.

"What's the matter?" Sandy could not help but ask.

"Not good! Quickly, leave this place!"

Warren had wanted to try to stop the operation of the alchemy magic array, but he realized that it was too late, so he simply stopped. After getting up, he did not have time to explain and immediately urged everyone to leave.

"Now! Immediately!"

Seeing this, Fang Heng frowned and said hurriedly, "Let's go first!"

He quickly left through the passage he had come from and entered the familiar area of the abyssal stairs.

Fang Heng walked to the front of the team, passing through the raised platform, and began to run up the stone steps built by the rock wall.

Tang Mingyue asked, "Why are you in such a hurry, Mr. Warren? What was that magic array just now?"

"Sydney has always been guarding the Imperial mausoleum. He came here earlier than I did, so he knows the Imperial mausoleum better."

"A long time ago, he mentioned to me that it was too dangerous to control the power of the 'demonic seed' directly. One's mind would be eroded by the 'demonic seed'. Even Her Majesty Andrast, who founded the entire Empire, could not completely avoid it and suffered a great backlash."

"That's why he has been thinking about how to use the power of the 'demonic seed' indirectly."

Warren paused and said in a deep voice, "For example, find a way to control the monsters that are affected by the 'demonic seed'."

Sandy did not know what was going on, he frowned and asked in confusion, "You mean those dark serpents?"

He thought to himself, "It's just a mutated dark serpent. Fang Heng has already killed so many of them. There's no need for him to be so flustered."

"No, it's not just the dark serpent."

Warren's expression was very ugly.

In this endless abyss, there were creatures far more terrifying than the dark serpents!

Fang Heng listened to their conversation and frowned slightly. Just as he was about to ask questions, he suddenly heard a loud sound of something rubbing against the stone wall.

"Chi Chi… Chi Chi…"

The sound came from the bottom of the abyss!

Everyone also heard the sound and couldn't help but look down at the endless abyss below the left side of the stone steps.

What was that?

In the darkness, everyone could vaguely see a huge shadow sticking to the wall and making a loud "Chi Chi" sound.

"BOOM!!"

Before anyone could see clearly, a giant-sized brown worm directly stuck to the wall and scuttled past them!

The abyssal worm!

The worm's body was extremely huge. It was more than three meters wide and dozens of meters long. Most of it was hidden in the darkness of the abyss below, so it was impossible to see its entire length!

It was stuck closely to the rock wall not far to the right of the group!

There was actually a person standing on the head of the worm.

Sydney!

No!

He wasn't standing!

Fang Heng stared at Sydney with deep fear in his eyes.

He could clearly see that the lower half of Sydney's body had fused with the worm!

Sydney slowly turned his head and looked at Warren.

The alchemy runes in his eyes were spinning rapidly, and blood was oozing out of them.

"Warren, you've disappointed me."

"So, you've never given up on this experiment."

"Hahahahaha!!"

Sydney's face revealed a crazy look, and he laughed, "What else? What do you think I've been staying here for? A ridiculous promise? Or is it the reverence for imperial power?"

Without waiting for Warren to speak, Sydney answered first, "It's the desire for power! It was the pursuit of eternal life! What do you mortals know? I'm the true heaven's will inheritor!"

"Sydney," Warren said with a deep voice, frowning. "Don't let the 'demonic seed' control your mind."

"Ha, you're still the same as before. You don't know anything, so naïve that it makes me want to laugh."

Sydney shook his head and did not want to say more, his face showing a look of regret.

"I was hoping that you could stay here and help me guard the Imperial mausoleum. Since you've made your choice, then all of you can't leave. Stay here and rest with the late Emperor for eternity!"

"Chi!!"

The giant abyssal worm immediately climbed up the rock wall under Sydney's command!

"Enjoy it! You'll be the first sacrifice of the abyssal worm after its rebirth, and you'll be honored."

At the same time, a game prompt flashed on the retina of Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue.

[Hint: The player's team's main storyline trial mission-the inheritance of the Empire's ancestors has triggered the next phase of the mission.]

Mission title: Mutant Sydney.

Mission difficulty: SSS

Mission description: Sydney relied on the power of the omniscient eyes to forcefully use alchemy to fuse himself with the mutated abyssal worm, and now has a power that far exceeds his own.

Mission requirement: Kill the mutant Sydney.

Mission reward: Obtain main storyline guidance for the next stage; additional trial time, increased trial score.

Penalty for failure: The main storyline mission chain is broken, and the trial score will be reduced. An additional 30 hours of trial time will be consumed to trigger the next main storyline mission chain.

"Quickly retreat! Go back to the platform! Hide!"

Fang Heng shouted at Sandy and Tang Mingyue who were unable to fight. He immediately put his hands together in front of his chest and stared at Sydney, who was rushing towards them.

"Swish!"

The Shrine of Bones was floating in front of him.

"Bang!!"

In an instant, his lifeblood exploded and a wave spread rapidly in all directions!

"Oh…"

Sydney's hair, which was growing on the head of the giant worm, was blowing in the air, but he still maintained his posture of charging forward.

Sydney saw the scarlet reflection behind Fang Heng, and a touch of disdain flashed in his eyes.

No matter what it was, everything would be completely crushed under the impact of the abyssal worm!

As his lifeblood exploded in all directions, the Vampire King's reflection condensed behind Fang Heng and raised his fist to meet the worm's body.

1205 Intense Battle

"Hu!"

He threw a punch forward!

"BOOM!!"

Before the fist arrived, the aura had already collided with it!

A pale white crystal barrier appeared around the brown worm.

"Ka…"

The red shadow fist that followed slammed into the barrier for half a second and finally made a light cracking sound.

The white crystal barrier shattered!

The worm was still sent flying by the blood-red shadow fist!

The massive body of the abyssal worm crashed into the rock wall behind it with a loud bang.

"BOOM!"

The worm's body had created a huge hole in the wall. A huge blood-red fist mark also appeared on the huge body of the abyssal worm.

Sandy was running for his life towards the entrance of the Imperial mausoleum. When he heard the huge commotion behind him, he could not help but turn around and ask in a small voice, "It's over?"

"Chi Chi Chi…"

In the blink of an eye, a faint red color appeared on the bloody fist mark on the abyssal worm's body.

The wound quickly disappeared and healed.

"Run!"

Qiu Yaokang pulled Sandy and ran into the cave that led to the depths of the Imperial mausoleum.

On the other side, Fang Heng felt that something was wrong after launching a blow using the Shrine of Bones. He immediately ran back without looking back.

The Vampire King could only send Sydney's mutated forn flying with one punch and temporarily control it.

A monster that was rated as SSS difficulty level in intermediate games.

His strength was beyond imagination!

Fang Heng calculated quickly.

It wasn't that he couldn't fight. At least he still had Tier 3 demonized Wangnet, Tang Mingyue who had absorbed the power of the 'demonic seed', and Warren on his team.

"Retreat! Go to the platform!"

The fighting space on the stone steps was too small. Fang Heng immediately instructed the others to find a favorable terrain to fight in.

"Hahahaha! This is a power that mortals can't resist!"

Sydney, who was on the back of the giant abyssal worm, raised his head as if the attack he had just suffered was just a deliberate display of his strength. He turned his eyes to Warren who was at the back.

"Did you see that, Warren? This is the power I obtained from the demonic seed. It's a powerful undying ability!"

"Whoosh!!"

While speaking, the giant abyssal worm twisted its body again and accelerated toward Fang Heng!

"Ice storm!"

Tang Mingyue had just escaped to the area of the protruding rock platform. Seeing that Fang Heng was in danger again, she immediately waved her staff and began to cast ice spells to control Sydney.

"Huu!"

The cold wind howled in the cave!

The frozen ice crystals enveloped the giant worm under the cold wind!

A layer of ice crystals quickly covered the giant worm's body at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, with one shake, the abyssal worm quickly regained its freedom!

The ice crystals shrouding its body exploded and fell in large pieces. In the blink of an eye, it regained its speed and ran madly toward Fang Heng again!

Teleportation!

Buzzzzzz!

Seeing that he was about to be hit by the abyssal worm head-on, Fang Heng immediately dodged with the help of the teleportation power of the vampires' holy weapon and shifted several meters to the right.

However, the movable space on the stone steps was too small, and the abyssal worm's movements were terrifyingly agile. After one failure, the abyssal worm turned its head and went toward Fang Heng again!

"BOOM!!"

He could not avoid it!

Fang Heng was hit by the worm head-on and felt as if his body was about to explode. He lost control of his body and was smashed to the right.

In an instant, the world spun!

"Fang Heng!"

He thought, "I'm finished!"

Tang Mingyue saw that Fang Heng was stunned and was about to fall down the cliff, and she cried out in her heart.

There was also that strange gale below the cliff!

Tang Mingyue quickly closed her eyes and concentrated on controlling the spell.

She poured her spiritual energy into the staff in her hand.

"Ice storm!"

Buzzzzzz!

The cold wind once again whistled past, carrying the ice crystals with it.

An ice curtain formed under Fang Heng!

In the blink of an eye, the solid ice curtain formed a huge ice platform not far below Fang Heng!

"Bang!"

"Ka ka ka…"

Fang Heng fell heavily on the ice curtain that had just been condensed, causing fine cracks to appear on it.

At the same time, the game notifications on his retina refreshed.

[Hint: You have received impact damage. You have received 97,601 impact damage. You have triggered the undying body effect. You are immune to this damage. You are stunned for 5.3 seconds.]

[Hint: Due to the effect of the undying body, you have woken up from the dizziness.]

After the negative effect was removed, Fang Heng instantly woke up. Feeling the severe pain in his body, he was secretly speechless.

It was too terrifying!

The impact caused nearly 100,000 HP damage, killing him instantly!

Thanks to the undying body effect, he was immune to the damage.

With the help of Tang Mingyue, he was caught by the ice curtain.

The solid ice on the ground became more and more solid under Tang Mingyue's control, providing Fang Heng with a support point that he could barely dodge.

"Kaka…!!"

The giant worm under Sydney locked its hatred on Fang Heng and rushed toward Fang Heng's landing point.

After finding out that his attack didn't kill Fang Heng, Sydney's eyes showed a touch of surprise. At the same time, the abyssal worm under him opened its huge red mouth, trying to swallow Fang Heng in one bite!

"Swish!"

The brown abyssal worm was still in the air when a black shadow flashed past the right side of Sydney's body.

Wangnet's body was now covered in a layer of black spikes, his entire body had entered the crystallized state of Tier 3!

"Bang!!"

The fist landed on the black crystal shield that covered the worm's body.

"BOOM!"

The crystal shield, which had not yet fully healed, exploded again!

The black spikes on Wangnet's body exploded one after another, piercing into the flesh of the abyssal worm!

"Hiss!"

The abyssal worm let out a howl and turned its body to knock Wangnet back.

"BOOM!"

Wangnet felt a strong force coming at him, and he was sent flying without being able to resist!

Buzzzzzz!

Sydney raised his head, blood dripping from his eyes. He stared at Wangnet, who had been sent flying.

"Go to hell!"

"Roar!"

The abyssal worm under him let out a roar and gave up on Fang Heng. It twisted its body and chased after Wangnet, who had been sent flying.

In the air, the eyes of Wangnet were filled with fear. The force of the impact was far beyond his imagination, so much so that the black crystal on the surface of his body began to crack.

"Thump!! Thump thump thump!"

A fusion Tyrant form arrived in time and rushed forward to block the worm's path, trying to help Wangnet buy time.

"Chi!!"

The abyssal worm directly opened its huge mouth and swallowed the fusion Tyrant form into its stomach!

In the distance, Fang Heng, who was distracted by controlling the fusion Tyrant forms and the group of Lickers, saw this and was shocked.

It could actually kill in seconds!

[Hint: Your zombie clone-fusion Tyrant form has been devoured by a special skill and has entered a 'digestion' state. You have temporarily lost control of the fusion Tyrant form.]

[Hint: Due to the fusion Tyrant form's HP, killing Sydney's mutated form within four minutes will remove the 'digestion' state and regain control of the Tyrant form.]

Fang Heng quickly checked the game log, gritted his teeth, and continued to control the remaining fusion Tyrant forms and Lickers to entangle the enemy.

The devour technique of the abyssal worm had a cooldown time and could not be used continuously!

It couldn't be helped. The difference in level between the zombie clone and the mutant Sydney was too big!

The sharp claw attacks of the Lickers couldn't break through the outer crystal shield defense of the abyssal worm at all!

The abyssal worm was surrounded by Lickers from all directions and directly used its huge body to start colliding.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

The group of Lickers was thrown out in all sorts of ways!

Their attacks were ineffective, but they could buy time!

After a short delay, Wangnet landed on the ice and quickly recovered. He said, "Find a way to kill him. I can't hold on for long."

For every second Wangnet lasted in the third phase, his body would be one step closer to breaking down!

He had no way out now.

Tang Mingyue stood far behind, feeling anxious, but she had no better way.

The magic skills she learned were mainly water and ice support skills, and she was not good at attacking.

Sandy could not help but take two steps out of the tunnel and shouted at Warren, who was at the entrance, "Brother, didn't you say that you've been studying the demonic seed here for hundreds of years? It's time for you to show off. Think of something."

Warren stared at the abyssal worm and sighed deeply. He took off his coat and slowly put his hands together.

What was that?

Fang Heng felt a strange spiritual power fluctuation and turned his head to look at Warren.

"Chi…"

A dark yellow light shone.

Fang Heng's pupils shrank.

It was a tattoo!

The left half of Warren's body was covered with alchemy magic array runes.

At the same time, the shadow of a dim yellow alchemy magic array appeared under Warren's feet.

"Ka ka ka…"

The entire giant rock wall around them suddenly began to shake violently!

"BOOM! Boom Boom Boom Boom!"

Suddenly, dozens of giant petrified palms condensed and reached out from the stone wall!

The petrified palm was densely covered with rough alchemy patterns. After reaching out, it directly grabbed the giant abyssal worm that was clinging to the rock wall and clenched it! It was fixed to the back of the rock wall!

"Squeak!"

Nailed to the rock wall, the abyssal worm beneath Sydney struggled violently.

"Rock breath… Warren!!"

Sydney, who was on the abyssal worm, realized what had happened. He turned his head and stared at Warren, his eyes wide open as he shouted, "Even if you die, you still want to go against me! You must remember what you promised me!"

Warren did not answer Sydney.

The alchemy runes on his body were slowly dissipating, and he looked extremely weak.

"Everyone," Warren whispered in a voice that only Fang Heng and the others could hear. "The abyssal worm has absorbed the power of the demonic seed. Its attack and defense abilities have been greatly improved. We can't compete with it now."

"There's only one way to completely destroy them, and that is to activate the self-destruction alchemy array under the Imperial mausoleum and drown it with the Imperial mausoleum."

Sandy was pleasantly surprised and blurted out, "There's such a move? How?"

"Leave everything to me. The self-destruction alchemy magic array can't be stopped after it's activated. You guys leave this place immediately."

"What about you?"

"Don't worry about me. I've been prepared since the moment I accepted the inheritance. This is my destiny, and I choose to accept it."

Warren's face was extremely pale, and his tone was unusually calm.

He slowly reached out and took off the pendant hanging in front of him. He slowly raised it in front of him.

"The seal at the entrance to the center of the Imperial mausoleum can't resist the erosion of the demonic seed forever. The late Emperor Andrast also considered this when she built the Imperial mausoleum. She chose to build the Imperial mausoleum at the entrance of the ancient abyss just in case."

"Activate the self-destruction alchemy magic array to completely destroy the Imperial mausoleum and bury everything in the abyss. Maybe we still can't really destroy the abyssal worm, but at least it can help us buy more time."

Warren then looked at Fang Heng and the others with a gratified expression and said, "Saints, I'm very happy to see you here. Please don't forget the mission we shoulder together. Victory will eventually belong to us."

As he spoke, the pendant shattered in front of Warren with a bang.

The dust fell to the ground, forming a large magic array.

Fang Heng's expression changed slightly.

So, Warren wanted to sacrifice himself to get rid of Sydney!

"Warren!!"

Sydney saw the golden alchemy magic array gradually appear on the ground. His face was extremely gloomy as he stared at Warren, "You're looking for death! I swear I'll cut you into a thousand pieces!"

"Roar!"

The worm under Sydney let out a fierce roar again, twisting its body and struggling violently!

"Bang! Bang!"

The two rock arms that were holding the abyssal worm tightly in succession were shattered.

"There's no time. Fang Heng, don't delay! Hurry up and run!"

Wangnet shouted.

He was currently an arrow at the end of his flight and could not continue to maintain his Tier 3 state for too long!

Wangnet quickly came to the edge of the cave, pulled Qiu Yaokang and Sandy along, and flew up.

"Fang Heng, it's over. Let's go!"

Seeing that Fang Heng was still hesitating, Tang Mingyue patted his shoulder and immediately fled up the stone steps on the right.

Fang Heng clenched his fist tightly and took a last glance at the game character's attribute bar.

Indeed, they had tried all kinds of methods just now, but they couldn't really cause any effective damage to Sydney.

Sydney's strength might have already entered the legendary level, which was the same level as the Vampire King and Hila.

It might even be higher!

There was only one solution he could think of.

He would need to use his big move!

The cooldown of the Everlasting Moon had just ended two hours ago.

However, he had not completed the main mission of the trial.

From the information they had gathered so far, the boss they would eventually face was probably the abyssal demon, and Sydney was obviously not the strongest enemy.

In the beginning, Fang Heng had planned to save the skills for the last.

But doing so would mean sacrificing Warren!

He did not want to.

Apart from the emotional factors of the party, as one of the Saint's successors, Warren's survival would definitely be of great help to the subsequent missions.

Save!

Fang Heng quickly made a decision. He looked back at Warren and asked in a deep voice, "How long can you trap him?"

1207 Alchemy Undead Puppets

"20 seconds at most. Let's go."

As Warren spoke, he began to break the seal expressionlessly.

"I'll try my best to buy you more time. Once the magic array is completed, you must leave this place as soon as possible, otherwise…"

Fang Heng felt relieved.

20 seconds! That was enough!

"There's no need to activate the self-destruct device. Control him and leave the rest to me!"

Warren was stunned. He wanted to say something, but he saw Fang Heng heading straight to Sydney after saying that.

Was he crazy?!

"Hahahaha! You are sending yourself to die!"

Sydney, who was driving the abyssal worm which was struggling wildly under him, saw Fang Heng rushing towards him. He immediately showed a ferocious face and laughed wildly.

The giant-sized worm under Sydney opened its huge mouth and wanted to swallow Fang Heng who was rushing over!

However, he didn't expect that Fang Heng would stop not far away.

If it were a low-level game world, Fang Heng would have directly used his big move.

However, after entering the intermediate game, he really didn't dare to take the risk. He was afraid that as soon as he cast the Everlasting Moon, he would be swallowed by Sydney's remaining mutated worms!

Wangnet noticed Fang Heng's shouts and actions. He immediately put Qiu Yaokang and Sandy on the stone steps, watching Fang Heng's actions and getting ready to cooperate at any time.

Even though the battle that had lasted for more than a minute had already made him feel that his physical condition had plummeted, he still didn't know what other cards Fang Heng had that could turn the tables.

Suddenly, Wangnet's pupils shrank.

White light?

What was that?

Where did the white light come from?

Looking up, Wangnet's eyes were filled with surprise.

A white full moon appeared above the cave.

The white light came from the full moon.

"What?"

What was that full moon?

Before Wangnet could react, an even more blinding golden light exploded from below!

Wangnet immediately looked down in the direction of the golden light.

He could clearly see a bright golden large-scale alchemy magic array appearing behind Fang Heng.

Light swirled around the magic array, densely covered with alchemy patterns. As it spun, it kept emitting golden light.

On the ice surface, Warren, who was controlling the giant hand of petrification, was also staring at the patterns on the alchemy magic array behind Fang Heng. The horror on his face could not be any more intense!

What kind of alchemy array was that?

In most cases, the complexity of the runes of the magic array was related to its power.

The alchemy array on Fang Heng's back was densely covered with patterns and imprints. Just one look at it would make people's scalps numb.

An ordinary magic array with a complexity coefficient of more than 1.0 was already very complicated. The complexity coefficient of the one behind Fang Heng had already exceeded 10.0!

Warren couldn't help but look at Fang Heng, who was controlling the alchemy magical array.

He was still so young, it was impossible for him to have designed such a powerful magic array!

Not to mention Fang Heng, Warren admitted that he wouldn't be able to do it even if he was given a few hundred years!

He believed that no one in this world could do this!

Who could have designed this magic array?

There was only one answer.

The inheritor of a Saint.

They were both inheritors of the Saint, but only Fang Heng had been recognized by the Saint!

Warren once again looked at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng's body was suspended in mid-air uncontrollably, with sweat dripping down his cheeks. He could feel his mental strength being rapidly absorbed by the Everlasting Moon!

F*ck!

It had been a while since he last used the Everlasting Moon skill, and his mental strength had grown even more!

But this time, the difficulty of controlling the Everlasting Moon was even greater!

Fang Heng gritted his teeth so hard that the blue veins on his neck bulged. He forced his eyes closed and concentrated on controlling the power, trying to keep his consciousness clear.

Description: It is rumored that at the bottom of the dead realm, there is an unknown creature that can devour all filth and transform it into the aura of the dead realm. It is known as the scavenger of the dead realm. A legendary alchemist has spent his entire life simulating it through alchemy …

Even though he closed his eyes, the game prompts were still flashing across his retina.

However, he had no time to observe what the hint was saying.

Buzzzzzz!

Fang Heng opened his eyes all of a sudden, and two rotating red alchemy magic arrays were reflected in his eyes.

"Kill him!"

Fang Heng reached out his right hand and pointed at Sydney, who was being controlled by the alchemy rock hand.

"Ka ka ka…"

Under the illumination of the alchemy magic array's golden light, cracking sounds could be heard from the walls of the abyss.

Under the illumination of the moonlight and the alchemy magic array, gray-black crawling monsters appeared on the rocks!

Their bodies were covered in dark, streamlined stripes, and they had no edges or corners, so it was impossible to distinguish their skin. They looked like gray living creatures made of mud as if they were not creatures of this world.

The alchemy undead puppets clung to the wall in a strange rubbing posture, using their four limbs to climb over to Sydney's position.

Their bodies kept rubbing against the rock wall, making cracking sounds.

Sydney stared at the magic array behind Fang Heng, his face full of shock.

He felt an extreme fear from the alchemy magic array behind Fang Heng.

The abyssal worm beneath him was struggling violently!

The abyssal worm felt an intense threat to its life from the alchemy undead puppets that were quickly climbing over from all directions!

However, it could not do it!

The abyssal worm was controlled by the alchemy cast by Warren and stuck to the rock wall!

Ka ka ka…

The first alchemy undead puppet easily climbed up the abyssal worm's body along the rock wall and opened its mouth.

No sharp teeth could be seen in its open mouth, and one could even see streamlined alchemy patterns. It looked ordinary and not threatening at all.

"Chi!!"

The alchemy undead puppet bit the abyssal worm under Sydney.

"Bang!!"

The crystallized armor that appeared on the abyssal worm's body actually shattered instantly. Immediately afterward, the alchemy undead puppet bit a hole in the body of the abyssal worm!

The abyssal worm was still struggling, trying to get rid of the alchemy undead puppet on its body.

However, the alchemy undead puppet was not affected at all. It clung to the abyssal worm and opened its mouth again, biting down!

1208 Dried up

Upon closer inspection, the marks left by the alchemy undead puppets were actually emitting a black aura.

The wound caused by the alchemy undead puppets was extremely strange, and even with the powerful vitality of the abyssal worm, it couldn't be restored at all!

"Chi Chi… Chi Chi…"

More and more alchemy undead puppets crawled toward the worm body under Sydney. They occupied the worm body and opened their mouths to bite it.

The abyssal worm's struggle became slower and slower, and its movements became stiffer and stiffer.

Sydney looked at the abyssal worm that was being eaten by the alchemy undead puppets, and for the first time, he had an extremely terrifying expression on his face.

However, he did not feel any pain. Instead, he felt an extreme sense of pleasure!

What kind of terrifying alchemy creatures were these?

Their attacks were special attacks with alchemy mode, and the injuries caused couldn't even be healed by the abyssal worm that absorbed the power of the demonic seeds!

What was more terrifying was that the abyssal worm didn't feel any pain after being bitten again. Instead, it felt a kind of comfort that stimulated the nerves.

His bodily senses were completely numbed!

Sydney tried to break free with his will, controlling the abyssal worm to climb on the wall and struggle wildly!

However, after the layered biting of the alchemy undead puppets, the abyssal worm's struggle became more and more powerless!

After being injected with poison, the abyssal worm became more and more difficult to control.

Sydney's face was extremely pale.

In just a short moment, nearly two-thirds of the abyssal worm's body had been devoured by the alchemy undead puppets.

He could feel his vitality draining away at an extremely fast speed!

There was a hint of hatred in Sydney's eyes, but he could not break free no matter what!

Tang Mingyue stood on the stone steps and saw a special skill "reincarnation" on her body and Sydney's body that was gradually being devoured. Her eyes revealed a touch of horror.

As Fang Heng's abilities were revealed one by one, she was shocked again.

An SSS-level mission…

Fang Heng was going to take it down by himself!

When she first obtained the power of the "demonic seed", she had the illusion that she was invincible, but when she actually fought, she realized that she was really wrong.

She could only be a support at best when fighting against an opponent of Sydney's level.

However, Fang Heng was able to participate in a battle of this level and could even turn the situation around by relying on his powerful personal strength!

Tang Mingyue's gaze fell on Fang Heng again.

The strength that Fang Heng displayed in the trial far exceeded the scope of the players of the elementary games.

He even had great control over intermediate games.

She recalled that Fang Heng was still a newbie who knew nothing when they first met…

It had only been a short month.

Such a growth rate was too terrifying.

[Hint: The alchemy undead puppets summoned by the skill-Everlasting Moon have caused 289 HP maximum damage to Sydney's mutated form…]

[Hint: The alchemy undead puppets have caused soul-burning damage to Sydney, causing 300 points of defense damage…]

Fang Heng couldn't distinguish the game prompts that were flashing quickly on his retina. He had no distracting thoughts now and was fully focused on controlling the Everlasting Moon. His eyes were fixed on the health bar that appeared above Sydney's head.

His HP was still dropping slowly.

Just a little bit more!

The Everlasting Moon skill had already begun to become uncontrollable.

He was almost unable to hold on.

Fang Heng found that the creatures summoned by the Everlasting Moon this time were stronger than the previous ones.

However, at the same time, the consumption of mental strength was also higher, and the duration was relatively shorter!

In less than ten seconds, his spiritual power was about to reach its limit.

The Everlasting Moon was undoubtedly his greatest trump card, but it also required a powerful spiritual force as a backing.

He was still too weak.

Before entering this trial, Fang Heng didn't take it seriously. He thought that having a zombie clone would be enough to deal with most situations, but in fact, it wasn't the case at all.

Even with the Everlasting Moon, he couldn't directly destroy Sydney!

If one's mental strength was strong enough…

Not good, the skill was starting to go out of control.

If he held on any longer, he would die very soon!

Fang Heng couldn't stop bleeding, and he forced himself to support the skill.

His thoughts started to wander uncontrollably.

His current strength was still not enough to deal with powerful intermediate games.

In the end, it was still because he was not strong enough.

During this period of time, he had been making very rapid progress. He had been constantly running forward and had not properly stabilized his steps or examined himself. He would need some time to calm down and digest everything after the trial.

He still had a lot of skills with great potential to be explored.

For example, alchemy, to max out the level of alchemy, or the research and development of zombie creatures, or the newly obtained crystallization form…

The blue moonlight gradually dissipated with the disappearance of the Everlasting Moon.

"Fang Heng!!"

Hearing Tang Mingyue's shout, Fang Heng's eyelids twitched. He immediately recovered from his wild thoughts and jumped to the right.

"BOOM! Boom Boom Boom!"

The alchemy magic array behind him suddenly exploded!

Tang Mingyue jumped down from the stone steps and stood beside Fang Heng, helping him up.

"Are you alright?"

[Hint: The player has entered a state of mental exhaustion. Skills that consume mental power cannot be used in this state.]

Cold sweat kept oozing out of Fang Heng's forehead. He glanced at the game prompt, gritted his teeth, and hummed in agreement.

"I can still hold on."

The battle lasted for more than three minutes. During the process, Tang Mingyue had been concentrating her spiritual power at a high intensity without limit. Now, Tang Mingyue had also discovered that her spiritual power had begun to show signs of uncontrollable chaos.

The power provided by the demonic seed was not infinite.

Cracks had already started to appear on the frozen ground beneath her feet.

Tang Mingyue raised her head and looked at Sydney again.

The alchemy undead puppets that were attached to the abyssal worm and biting on it had turned into golden light and dissipated in the cave.

The giant abyssal worm under Sydney was full of potholes and incomplete wounds. Less than one-third of its original size was left. Even Sydney's hands had been completely bitten off by the alchemy undead puppets!

What was even more terrifying was that no blood flowed out of all the wounds on the worm's body, including Sydney's, as if half of its body had been torn off.

Sydney felt extremely excited!

He didn't feel any pain at all. Instead, he felt as if he had an endless life force.

However, no matter how he urged the abyssal worm under him, there was no reaction!

Buzzzzzzzz!

In his Tier 3 demonized state, Wangnet appeared in front of Sydney in a flash, and the crystallized form blackthorn stabbed Sydney's heart.

"Get lost!!!"

Sydney roared, and the golden alchemy magic array in his eyes spun wildly.

The golden light exploded before Wangnet's eyes!

1209 Killing

"BOOM!!!"

The next moment, the blackthorn spear pierced through Sydney's heart!

Wangnet was also sent flying back by the explosion of the golden light. He hit the rock wall behind him and then fell on the ice crystal ground that Tang Mingyue had cast.

He stomped hard on the ice, making a heavy impact sound.

"Ka, ka ka ka…"

Large cracks appeared on the ice surface after the impact.

Buzzzzzzzz!!

Wangnet knew that this was his last chance to fight. He knew that his body was on the verge of breaking down, but he still charged at Sydney again!

Sydney's eyes flashed with confusion.

He lowered his head and looked in disbelief at the hole in his chest that had been pierced by the blackthorn spear.

Blood flowed down the blackthorn spear unceasingly.

He subconsciously reached out to pull out the blackthorn spear from his body, only to find that both his hands had been completely devoured by the strange alchemy lifeform.

The abyssal worm under him was still uncontrollable, constantly twitching and twisting its body.

The light in Sydney's eyes gradually disappeared.

He realized that his life was quickly coming to an end.

However, he did not feel any pain. Instead, two completely different emotions, extreme excitement and extreme exhaustion, washed over his consciousness.

In the end, Sydney slowly shifted his gaze to Fang Heng.

An alchemy puppet that could make people die without them knowing, what a terrifying ability.

"I'm sorry, I can't witness this great era with you…"

Sydney mumbled to himself, looking up at Wangnet who was approaching him.

"You guys… Heh, give it all to me…"

Buzzzzzz!

With the last bit of energy in his body, the alchemy magic array in Sydney's eyes started to spin rapidly! Red blood was flowing out of his eyes!

Sydney shouted crazily, "Give it all to me! Just stay here!"

"Wangnet! Be careful!"

Fang Heng had just recovered a little from the splitting headache. He sensed the huge energy fluctuation that exploded from Sydney's body and reminded him loudly.

Everyone was already an arrow at the end of its flight.

It was the same for Sydney and Wangnet.

Wangnet knew that he could only maintain his Tier 3 demonized state for less than a minute. He endured the pain of his body collapsing, and instead of retreating, he advanced, his blackthorn spear stabbing toward Sydney's throat.

"Swish!"

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Sydney's throat was instantly pierced through by the blackthorn spear!

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted out of his throat and mouth, splattering all over Wangnet's face.

"Shut up!" Wangnet stared at Sydney and grinned. "A dead man should just shut up."

"Ha…"

The life in Sydney's eyes was slowly fading, but the corner of his mouth slowly curved up.

Immediately after, the giant abyssal worm under him twitched violently and uncontrollably.

On the stone steps at the top of the cliff, Sandy looked down at the battle. He only heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Sydney close his eyes.

"Did we win? We?"

"Mmh… It seems so." Qiu Yaokang looked at the twitching abyssal worm and gave a soft hum.

Below, Warren released his hands and undid the alchemy magic array.

The giant alchemy hands that were holding the abyssal worm loosened and hid in the rock wall again.

The alchemy magic array attached to Warren's body was almost completely dimmed.

"BOOM!!"

Without the control of the alchemy rock hand, Sydney and the abyssal worm fell from the rock wall and landed heavily on the ice condensed by Tang Mingyue.

Warren stared cautiously at the corpse of the abyssal worm that was still twitching from time to time, still in disbelief.

They really won?

Did they work together to kill Sydney?

He didn't know why, but the look and smile on Sydney's face before he died gave him a very bad feeling.

"Brother Warren! Is he dead?"

Warren looked up and saw Sandy waving at him from the stone steps.

Sandy still cherished his life, so he asked Warren for confirmation.

Just as Warren was about to speak, the self-destruction alchemy magic array that had just stopped operating suddenly began to operate on its own!

Sandy and Qiu Yaokang, who were on high ground, were both shocked and stared at Warren.

Sandy could not help but shout, "What's the situation? Why is the alchemy magic array moving again?"

The enemy was already dead, so it was not appropriate to activate the self-destruction alchemy magic array now, right?

Warren's expression changed drastically. He formed a seal in front of his body with both hands and shouted at Fang Heng and the others.

"Quickly run! The Imperial mausoleum is about to self-destruct! Everyone! Leave this place immediately!"

"Ah?"

Qiu Yaokang furrowed his brows and pulled Sandy, who was beside him and continued to run up the stone steps.

Fang Heng was stunned for a moment. He looked in the direction of the voice and saw the magic array suddenly spinning rapidly. Then, he looked at Warren.

After suffering the punishment of overusing his spiritual power from the Everlasting Moon, his mind was still in a mess and he couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

"Run!!"

Hearing Warren's shout, Tang Mingyue realized that something was wrong. She immediately pulled Fang Heng beside her and ran up the stone steps.

Sandy shouted as he ran, "What's the situation? Why did it explode again? Didn't we already win? Is there a need to escape? It's the omniscient eyes!"

An alchemy magic array appeared under Warren's feet. His figure slowly floated and chased after Fang Heng. He explained loudly, "Before he died, Sydney used the omniscient eyes to activate the self-destruction alchemy array. Don't talk, run!"

Wangnet's face darkened as he sped up and climbed up the cliff. In the blink of an eye, he was beside Sandy and Qiu Yaokang who were running up the stone steps. He picked them up with both hands and jumped up the cliff again.

Fang Heng still felt a splitting headache. After Warren's explanation, he finally understood what was going on. He directly activated the floating effect of the vampire's holy weapon and flew into the air with Tang Mingyue.

Soon, an alchemy mark was formed on Warren's hands. He floated to Tang Mingyue and Fang Heng's side, helping Fang Heng to accelerate and fly up with Tang Mingyue.

Tang Mingyue suddenly frowned and loudly reminded, "Everyone, my spiritual power is no longer enough to continue supporting the ice. After the ice shatters, it will be affected by the strong wind. Be careful!"

"Yes."

Fang Heng agreed.

Although his head was extremely heavy and he could barely think, he still subconsciously turned his head and looked at Sydney's body on the ice below.

The giant abyssal worm under Sydney's feet finally stopped moving after twisting a few times.

It was a pity.

Sydney's mutated form had fused with an abyssal worm and was an absolutely optimized research material. If he could bring it back, he might be able to develop some improvements…

A game notification appeared on his retina.

It should be the trigger point for the next phase of the mission.

The indicated direction was still very far away.

There was also a kill reward.

Tier 3 mutation crystal.

To level up to the next level, he needed a large number of Tier 2 and 10 Tier 3 mutation crystals. He had obtained three of them by killing Sydney!

Fang Heng noticed the game prompt that popped up and waved his hand downward.

Three dark mutation crystals quickly flew over and were absorbed by the mark on the back of his hand.

It was finally resolved.

As for the next stage of the mission, he would put it aside for now. He would make plans after he escaped.

Eh?

Suddenly, Fang Heng saw a light purple spot of light appearing beside the dead Sydney.

A light spot?!

An item had dropped!

All of a sudden, Fang Heng's heart started beating violently.

Item!

What kind of good stuff could a high-level creature like Sydney drop?

It was an intermediate game, a boss with SSS-level difficulty!

Unlike the mutation crystal, most of the treasures that were dropped in the game could not be directly obtained. It required an action to obtain it and did not require one to be very close to it. However, it was definitely not possible to obtain it from such a far distance.

Fang Heng was about to turn back and pick it up when he frowned again.

"Ka ka ka…"

Huge cracks appeared on the ice below, and it was already on the verge of breaking.

Once the ice completely shattered, the strong wind from the abyss would appear again.

Under the current situation, should he return to get it?

What was the success rate?

He would take a gamble!

His mind was still in a state of chaos, and Fang Heng couldn't think clearly at all. He had to rely on his body's instinct to make decisions.

He had to get it!

"Mingyue, Wangnet!"

In his Tier 3 transformation state, Wangnet was the fastest. He was already at the top of the rock wall, carrying the slower Qiu Yaokang and Sandy with both hands. He heard the shouts behind him and could not help but turn back.

Fang Heng pointed to the ground and then to himself.

Then, he dashed toward Sydney's body without looking back.

Tang Mingyue, who was slowly floating upward with Warren, was shocked.

What did Fang Heng mean by those two movements just now?

Before she could comprehend it, Fang Heng jumped down directly.

"Swish!"

Fang Heng flew straight down and landed beside Sydney's body. He waved his hand.

The purple object fell into his hand.

This was…

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

An eyeball?!

The game notification appeared on his retina.

[Hint: You have obtained a special item-omniscient eye (alchemy).]

[Item: Omniscient eyes (alchemy).]

Type: Support-type, special, consumption.

Description: The eyeball of the Empire's legendary alchemist, Sydney. It is rumored to have the power to see through the truth of alchemy.

Description: Without the nourishment of power, the eyeball cannot be stored for a long time in the current environment. It is estimated that it will completely die within 3 hours. Please try to find a more appropriate storage method to delay the death or use the eyeball immediately.

Description: After a successful eyeball transplant, there is a high chance of obtaining an S-level passive innate skill-omniscient eyes (alchemy).

Description: There is a chance of backlash and rejection when transplanting this eyeball.

Description: Transplanting this eyeball requires the assistance of a special skill.

Description: This eyeball can also be used as a consumable. It is an extremely rare material.

Fang Heng's heart thumped hard.

S-level talent skill!

Although there was a chance of suffering a backlash after the transplant…

If he successfully obtained an S-level talent, he would definitely not lose out!

Fang Heng took out a petri dish from his backpack, put the eyeball in it, and screwed on the lid.

He took another look and saw that the eyeball's survival time had increased by another hour.

It was almost time. The eyeball had a total of four hours to survive, which should be enough for him to escape.

"Ka ka ka ka…"

As he was thinking, Fang Heng's eyelids twitched.

Huge cracks appeared on the ice under his feet.

The huge cracks quickly spread out along the bottom of the depths worm's body!

"Fang Heng!!"

He looked up and saw that Wangnet and the others were approaching the exit at the top of the stone steps.

Fang Heng took a deep breath and stood firmly on the ice with both feet. Then, he directly raised his fist and smashed the ice hard!

"BOOM!"

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the entire tottering ice surface was blown apart by Fang Heng's punch!

Fang Heng felt a sense of weightlessness under his feet. His body fell rapidly along with the surrounding ice and rocks.

The feeling of free-falling did not last more than half a second.

"Huu!!"

Immediately after, a violent gust of wind from the bottom of the abyss instantly enveloped his body and sent him flying upwards!

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang!"

Fang Heng didn't control his body, and he couldn't control it either. He was directly swept up by the strong wind and kept hitting the rock walls around him!

"Bang!!"

His body was like a ping pong ball, constantly hitting the rock wall, and he once again entered a dizzy state.

[Hint: You are affected by the airflow. Your impact damage is -677. You have entered a 3.29-second stun state…]

"Bang! Bang! Bang Bang Bang!"

Above them, Tang Mingyue was being dragged upwards by Warren, still looking down anxiously.

She noticed that Fang Heng's body was constantly being carried by the strong wind and slammed into the wall, but he was also constantly moving upward. She immediately understood the meaning of Fang Heng's hand gestures just now.

He understood.

He wanted to use the force of the strong wind to quickly escape the explosion and he could also rely on his strange self-recovery ability.

This was really…

A crazy idea!

Perhaps only Fang Heng could do it.

"Run!"

Once the underground ice lost its effect, Warren had no choice but to stop his means of floating and flying. He continued to run up the stone steps with Tang Mingyue.

He was already not far from the cave entrance.

Wangnet, who was walking faster, brought Qiu Yaokang and Sandy to the platform at the exit.

"Pfft!"

Wangnet could not hold on any longer. As he let go of his hand, he immediately withdrew from his Tier 3 demonized state and spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with black blood.

"Big Brother! How are you?"

Seeing this, Sandy and Qiu Yaokang quickly supported Wangnet.

Wangnet gritted his teeth. The excruciating pain that came from his body was unable to make him say another word. His physical condition was extremely bad, and his body was trembling uncontrollably.

1211 Escape

Qiu Yaokang frowned. He lifted Wangnet's right wrist and checked it.

Wangnet's body was covered in black cracks, and he looked like he was about to collapse.

Sandy looked at Qiu Yaokang and asked anxiously, "How's his condition?"

"Not good, he's dying."

"Ah?"

Qiu Yaokang took out a white pill from his backpack, opened Wangnet's mouth, and poured it in.

Even after taking the medicine, Wangnet's condition did not improve. Beads of cold sweat rolled down his cheeks.

"What did you just give him?"

"Something that can temporarily save his life. He's seriously injured now and needs to be brought back for treatment immediately. Otherwise, no one can save him."

As they were talking, Tang Mingyue and Warren also ran to the entrance along the stone steps.

Seeing how terrible Wangnet's condition was, the two of them looked grim.

"BOOM! Boom Boom Boom!"

An extremely violent explosion came from the bottom of the abyss.

The crowd shook violently.

Immediately after, the ground beneath their feet began to shake violently, and a large number of broken stones fell from the sky.

Everyone's expression changed.

This was bad.

The mausoleum's self-destruction device had been activated.

This place was about to collapse.

Tang Mingyue stuck her head out and looked at the abyss below. She could vaguely see that Fang Heng was constantly being affected by the strong wind and was hitting back and forth on the rock wall.

Further down, the flames of the explosion could be faintly seen.

Warren said in a deep voice, "The self-destruction alchemy array has been activated. The explosion will start from the bottom and gradually bury the entire mausoleum! Hurry up! We need to get out of here as soon as possible after we rescue Fang Heng."

"Let's split up. You guys take Wangnet and leave first! I'll bring Fang Heng over immediately!"

Tang Mingyue took a look at Wangnet, who was severely injured and could not move freely and made a decision immediately. Then she looked down at the bottom of the abyss, staring at Fang Heng, who was constantly being hit by the strong wind and rapidly rising.

"Let's go!"

"Run!" Warren shouted and helped the unconscious Wangnet up. He ran towards the exit first.

Tang Mingyue's peripheral vision swept over Warren and the others who were quickly retreating. She took a deep breath and raised her staff.

The demonic seed's recovery ability was terrifyingly strong. In the process of escaping just now, she had recovered a small part of her mental strength in less than half a minute of rest.

It was enough!

Buzzzzzz!

The moment she saw Fang Heng pass by her, a sharp glint flashed in Tang Mingyue's eyes. She raised her staff.

"Ice storm!"

Her mental energy surged into the staff in her hand!

The cold wind howled!

As the ice crystals swirled and attacked, they condensed again, forming a thin layer of ice on the cave!

"Ka ka ka…"

In the blink of an eye, the ice curtain connected, forming a solid ice curtain in front of them.

"BOOM!"

After losing lie Feng's control, Fang Heng hit the wall again and fell from the air, hitting the ice heavily.

"It hurts…"

Fang Heng gritted his teeth and shook his head, which had become even more swollen due to the continuous collisions earlier. He endured the pain all over his body and gave Tang Mingyue a thumbs-up.

Tang Mingyue heaved a sigh of relief and nodded at Fang Heng.

"Go! Quickly retreat!"

…

In the main hall above the royal mausoleum and in front of the entrance of the tomb, more than ten alchemists of the Empire were controlling the operation of the magic array together.

Tang Mo piously bowed to the stone statue of the Empire's ancestor Andrast and silently chanted.

Behind him, Wei Tao and Mikhael were burning with anxiety as they kept exchanging glances.

From time to time, the game prompts would appear to stimulate their nerves.

Who was Sydney?

The big BOSS in the SSS-level mission?

They clearly knew that Fang Heng was fighting a bloody battle below, but they couldn't help at all and could only worry.

After coming here, they first argued with the royal general guarding the mausoleum for a while, then followed them to the entrance of the mausoleum. They learned that they had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times before they were allowed to open the mausoleum.

They knew that the other party was stalling for time, but they couldn't do anything to them.

"Ka, ka ka ka…"

Finally, the prayer was finished.

The alchemy magic array in the hall also began to glow with a dim yellow light.

A huge door slowly opened before everyone's eyes.

Not long ago, the Empire's generals who learned of the invasion of the Imperial mausoleum were unwilling to let Tang Mo leave but they could only do their best to delay the time.

"Prince Tang Mo, the lower level of the Imperial mausoleum is an important area. In order to prevent the evil aura from spreading and the vengeful spirits guarding it, I suggest you guard the door and wait for the intruders to leave before catching them all in one fell swoop…"

"There's no need for you to worry about the matters of the royal family."

Along the way, Tang Mo's patience was almost worn out. He was about to take people to explore the lower floor when hurried footsteps were heard.

A group of well-equipped royal guards quickly walked up and surrounded everyone in the hall.

In the crowd, a young man in bright silver armor walked up.

"The commander of the royal guards, Xiao Yun, pays his respects to Your Highness!"

"Xiao Yun."

Tang Mingyue turned her head and stared at the person coldly.

She had heard of the new commander of the royal guards, and it was said that this man was deeply trusted by the current acting King Salvador.

Xiao Yun also looked at Tang Mo.

Just a moment ago, the royal family had received the news that Her Highness Mingyue and the barbarians had appeared in the Empire's mausoleum.

Salvador immediately ordered Xiao Yun to bring the royal guards to the Royal tomb to capture Tang Mingyue and her group.

Xiao Yun never expected to see Tang Mo as soon as he came here.

He felt that things were getting more and more troublesome.

Tang Mingyue and Tang Mo had always had a deep relationship and it was a bit difficult to take Tang Mingyue away in front of Tang Mo.

Tang Mo asked coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"Your Highness, the royal guards have come under the orders of His Majesty to capture the thieves who invaded the Imperial mausoleum and bring her Highness back."

There was no expression on Tang Mo's face as he stepped forward, "It just so happens that I'm also here to find Mingyue. Let's go together."

Xiao Yun stopped in front of Tang Mo and said in a deep voice, "It's an urgent task personally assigned by His Majesty. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for Your Highness to go with us."

"Inconvenient? What inconvenience? It's not up to you outsiders to point fingers in the matters of the royal family."

Tang Mo stared at Xiao Yun and said, "You want to stop me? Hurry up and get lost!"

Seeing that the situation had suddenly become tense, Wei Tao and Mikhael behind him were ready to fight.

Just as they were about to make a move, a game notification suddenly appeared on their retinas.

[Hint: The player team has killed an intermediate-level mutated lifeform-Sydney's aberration.]

[Hint: The player team's main mission is the inheritance of the Empire's ancestors. The player team has received an additional 26 hours of trial time. The player team's trial score has greatly increased.]

[Hint: The player has received guidance for the next stage of the main storyline trial mission. Please go to the designated place according to the game prompt to trigger the next stage of the mission.]

When they saw the game notification, Wei Tao and Mikhael's hearts were at their throats.

1212 The Destruction

What the hell was going on?

It was settled?

Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue had completed two SSS-level difficulty missions at the same time!

Even the mutated boss was killed by them?

Mikhael and Wei Tao quickly exchanged glances and saw the shock and surprise in each other's eyes.

Since that was the case, it didn't seem like they were needed.

Now that Fang Heng had completed his task, wouldn't it be better for them to retreat and wait for them to escape?

The two people were just thinking about it when they suddenly felt a slight tremor coming from under their feet.

Eh?

What was this situation?

Not only Wei Tao, but the others also gradually felt the shaking from under their feet.

In just a few seconds, the shaking grew stronger and stronger, and even the guards felt that something was wrong.

Wei Tao immediately looked at the soldier behind him and asked sternly, "What's going on?"

The captain of the soldiers, Herbert, who was in charge of guarding the mausoleum, broke out in a cold sweat.

His face also revealed a somewhat disbelieving expression as he nervously said, "It seems like the central magic array has been triggered. No, could it be… No, it's probably going to collapse…"

While speaking, Herbert hurriedly walked to the large alchemy magic array in front of the stone statue.

Seeing the lines on the magic array, Herbert had an ominous premonition and his expression changed drastically.

Herbert screamed in fear, "Not good! The hidden self-destruction alchemy array had been activated! The main hall is about to collapse! Quickly leave this place! Hurry! Leave!"

Herbert then turned around and ran towards the exit of the hall.

It was already the best he could do to remind them that a great disaster was imminent. He didn't have time to care about these Empire generals at all. He couldn't even care about Commander Xiao Yun and Tang Mo. He only cared about running for his life.

The rest of the royal guards' expressions also changed drastically, and they immediately start to retreat.

Xiao Yun also realized the situation wasn't good. His eyes quickly swept over Tang Mo and he cupped his hands. He said, "Your Highness Tang Mo, this place is dangerous. Let's evacuate first!"

He didn't wait for Tang Mo's reply and waved his hand to withdraw with the royal guards.

Tang Mo was a bit hesitant.

He looked at the entrance of the passage that led to the bottom of the mausoleum, and a hint of conflict flashed through his brows.

The shaking under his feet was getting more and more intense. Rocks kept falling from the sky, and the entire stone building seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

The accompanying guard said, "Your Highness, let's leave as well. This place is too dangerous."

Tang Mo looked back at Wei Tao and Mikhael and asked, "Where's Mingyue?"

Wei Tao also wanted to ask this question.

He looked at the passage below and said anxiously, "Your Highness, don't worry. Her Highness Mingyue will definitely be fine, we can guarantee that with our lives. This place is too dangerous. Let's evacuate first."

"Let's go!"

Tang Mo frowned and waved to the team to quickly evacuate from the mausoleum.

As they ran out, Mikhael and Wei Tao consciously followed at the back of the team.

They pretended to be protecting them, but in fact, they wanted to help Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue.

However, both of them did not arrive yet!

As the shaking under their feet became more and more intense, the two of them became increasingly shocked.

Such a strong fluctuation?

It would probably blow up the entire underground mausoleum!

This wouldn't happen, right?

The two of them exchanged glances from time to time, faintly worried for Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue.

The two of them had so many tricks up their sleeves, they should be able to find a way to escape in advance, right?

As his thoughts ran wild, Wei Tao had just escaped from the mausoleum's exit when he saw that Herbert, the Empire soldiers, and the royal guards, who had fled first, did not stop at all. Instead, they continued to run down the mountain range.

The ground trembled violently. No matter how he thought about it, this was not an ordinary explosion.

"Hurry up!"

The guard accompanying Tang Mo urged the griffin to take off and waved to the two people, shouting, "Hurry up and get on the griffin!"

Wei Tao and Mikhael looked at each other and ran forward. They jumped on the back of the griffin and flew into the sky with it.

"Boom! Boom Boom Boom!!"

A few seconds later, a loud boom came from the mountain range where the Imperial mausoleum was located!

Wei Tao was shocked as he witnessed the entire mausoleum and the entire mountain range being buried in a cloud of dust following a violent explosion.

It really exploded…

Fang Heng and the others…

Hu!!

Immediately after, a wave of heat came from the front, and the griffin under him was sent flying back by the heat wave. It was not easy for the pilot to stabilize it.

"There shouldn't be a problem, right…"

Wei Tao was very confident in Fang Heng but this situation still made him panic.

He quickly opened the trial and checked his teammates' information.

There should be no problem.

For the time being, Tang Mingyue and Fang Heng had not left the trial and were still safe.

"Look, over there!"

Beside him, Mikhael had discovered something. With an excited expression, he pointed to the right side of the Imperial mausoleum.

The explosion caused the entire mountain range to be covered in a layer of thick smoke, and on the right side of the smoke, something appeared from the smoke.

Ice crystals?!

Wei Tao's heart skipped a beat.

There were people standing on the ice crystals.

There was Tang Mingyue!

He saw Tang Mingyue holding a staff in her hand and standing on a large piece of ice with a few others.

The ice crystals under everyone's feet were controlled by a force and suspended in mid-air.

He was obviously not very familiar with this kind of flying method, and the flying speed was quite slow.

The person beside her was…

It was Fang Heng!

And Sandy and Qiu Yaokang!

D*mn! He knew they could definitely do it!

Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue were indeed good at playing around.

After recognizing Fang Heng and the others, both Mikhael and Wei Tao showed a relieved expression. They could put their hearts at ease and felt a sense of relief. Next, they pondered on how to meet them.

On the other side, Xiao Yun had also noticed the ice that had appeared from the dust, and his eyes were fixated on the figures on the ice.

That one!

The person standing next to Tang Mingyue was… One of the successors of the barbarian leader, Wanget?

Xiao Yun's pupils suddenly shrank.

As expected!

Tang Mingyue had a secret relationship with the barbarians!

Even the destruction of the Empire's Imperial mausoleum was related to them!

"His Majesty has passed his order! Bring them all back to the royal family!"

Xiao Yun raised his hand and ordered, "Attack!

"Yes!"

The two Empire mages that had come with Xiao Yun immediately cast their spell techniques at Tang Mingyue and her companions.

"Woof! Whoosh!"

Several consecutive fireballs whistled in the direction of the front.

Tang Mingyue's sharp senses sensed the fireball's attack. Frowning, she raised her spiritual power and infused it into the staff in her hand again.

"Ice crystal wall."

A wall of ice crystals rose up and blocked the fireball.

"BOOM! Boom Boom Boom!"

The fireballs exploded upon impact with the ice barrier!

However, the impact of the explosion caused the ice crystals under everyone's feet to become unstable and shake violently.

1213 Digging up the Ancestral Grave

"Brother, be steady…" Sandy turned pale with fright and immediately climbed down, his entire body sticking close to the ice surface for fear of falling down.

Warren frowned. Without saying a word, he focused his mental strength and used alchemy to control the ice crystals.

Black blood was still oozing out of Wangnet's body. He put his hand to his mouth with all his might and whistled.

"Stop!"

On the other side, Tang Mo had just calmed down after seeing Tang Mingyue, but when he saw her being attacked, his heart clenched again. His eyes turned red and he immediately led his people to rush toward Xiao Yun's group.

His subordinates also rushed forward and blocked Xiao Yun's path.

"What is the meaning of this, Your Highness? As you can see, that man is Wangnet, the heir of the barbarian leader. He invaded the Empire and destroyed the Imperial mausoleum…"

Tang Mo stood in front of Xiao Yun and was silent for a long time before finally letting out a disdainful snort.

"This is our royal family's own business."

Xiao Yun's expression changed and he said in a low voice, "Royal guards, listen to the command, His Majesty has ordered that anyone who stands in the way of the arrest of the murderer will be taken back."

"Rub!"

Tang Mo pulled out the knife in his hand, his eyes filled with ferocity as he glanced at the royal guards behind Xiao Yun.

"Try it! Let's see if your commander can protect you!"

The faces of the royal guards behind Xiao Yun froze.

Suddenly, a few sharp eagle cries came from the sky.

They looked in the direction of the sounds.

A few large barbarian falcons hovered in the sky and picked up Tang Mingyue and the others in the blink of an eye. They quickly flew into the distance and disappeared from everyone's sight.

….

In the Northern Federation, at the headquarters of the Prilla Players Guild, the conference room was unusually quiet.

The people present were either the leaders of large guilds or the leaders of elite teams.

They were currently digesting the information that Ed had provided.

After deciding to gamble with Ed, everyone signed a confidentiality agreement and a cooperation agreement, and Ed announced everything he knew.

Ed was very satisfied with the expressions on everyone's faces.

Like these people, it took him a long time to react when he first got the news.

Five minutes later, Ed cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, please share your opinions."

Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement.

They were now discussing a major event that would change the entire human Empire!

They all believed that Ed had no reason to lie to them.

According to Ed, if the plan succeeded, it would be enough to set off a huge storm in the entire human Empire. It could even change the situation of the Barbarian Apocalypse game world!

"Let's talk about your plan. You gathered us here, so you must have a plan, right?"

"Well, everyone, time is tight, so I won't waste time. The general action plan is divided into two steps. The first step is to break through the royal family and strive to let Tang Mingyue or Tang Mo obtain the actual control of the Empire. The second step is to gather the power of the Empire to deal with the abyssal demons."

Ed's voice was powerful.

"We must be fast! Our battle with the Empire has to be quick, and we have to hit the nail on the head. We can't drag this out. We have to seize the Imperial power before the Empire can react."

"The Empire's strength is extremely strong. Once they are given time to catch their breath, they will easily enter a long tug of war. We can't afford to drag it out."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, I've thought about it. Our chances of winning are actually very high. In addition to the two Empire successors, Tang Mingyue and Tang Mo, there's also the feudal lord Fang Heng's Land of Plague and the barbarian successor, Wangnet, who will also join in."

"There's even the inheritance of the Saint. The Mage Association might stand on our side. With the strength of our players, it won't be difficult to support them to attain the throne of the Empire."

The people in the projection conference started whispering again.

A moment later, a middle-aged man said, "We understand what the Prilla Guild is trying to say. Let's not talk about the risks for now. Each of us has our own resources that we can mobilize in the game. I suggest that we come up with a detailed plan before we act. Each team will be responsible for one part to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"Yes, that's right. I think so too."

Ed nodded and said, "This is also the reason why I invited everyone here today for a face-to-face discussion. Also, before that, I will first fulfill a part of my promise to help the people you recommended inherit the ancient Saint's inheritance. Of course, I have already explained the risks of accepting the inheritance to everyone. You can decide whether to accept it or not, so please hurry."

The crowd nodded again.

The Prilla Gaming Guild that suggested a collaboration had shown great sincerity, and the Saint's inheritance was one of them.

Everyone was discussing in low voices when a subordinate pushed open the door and entered with an anxious expression.

Ed furrowed his brows, displeased at the man who interrupted his conversation.

"President, I have to interrupt you. This is an emergency."

Ed's heart skipped a beat. He took the report from his subordinate and read it. His expression changed drastically.

What!

The Imperial mausoleum of the Empire!

It exploded?

Tang Mingyue! Lord Fang Heng!

Other than them, one of the successors of the barbarian leader, Wangnet, was also involved.

Ed's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyelids twitched. He became nervous and read the words one by one.

The news that the Empire had released described that Tang Mingyue, Wangnet, and the others had sneaked into the Imperial mausoleum of the Empire not long ago to cause destruction. They stole the secret treasures of the royal family from the Imperial mausoleum and caused great damage to them.

The entire Imperial mausoleum was destroyed.

The Empire had already determined that Tang Mingyue and Lord Fang Heng, who had appeared at the scene, were guilty of treason, and they were currently searching for them. There were also rumors that if they encountered resistance during the pursuit of Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue, they would be killed without mercy.

This news shocked Ed to the extreme.

What's going on?

He and Fang Heng had just separated in the underground world at dawn. Both parties had agreed that he would find friends to join in the fight and find ways to deal with the abyssal demons together. They were prepared to meet at the Land of Plague later.

They had just been separated for less than 10 hours, and Fang Heng had gone to blow up the Empire's ancestral grave?

What was this?

It was no wonder that the Empire had such a big reaction and even clamored to kill without mercy.

How much enmity did Lord Fang Heng have with the Empire?

Ed had long expected that Fang Heng might make a move on the Empire, but wasn't he acting a little too fast?

And it was a little too radical.

According to Ed's plan, they should fully utilize their advantage of hiding in the dark, plan before taking action, and wait until they had accumulated their strength before dealing the Empire a fatal blow.

How did Fang Heng expose himself in the blink of an eye?

What was Fang Heng thinking?

What should they do now?

1214 Sprint

"No, it shouldn't be like this."

Ed felt that something was wrong.

He muttered to himself and took a deep breath to calm his slightly anxious mind.

Lord Fang Heng had always given him the feeling that he was a ruthless character who would plan for his next step.

He would not make a move so easily.

There must be a deeper meaning behind this move that he had yet to understand.

Ed turned to his subordinate and asked, "What else? Is there any other news?"

"There's some more."

The subordinate's expression was solemn as he flipped through the information in his hand and said, "There is some unverified news. It is said that Tang Mo didn't accept the royal family's orders and returned to his territory in anger. It seems that he wants to take action against the royal family. We heard that the Empire has also dispatched troops to defend against Tang Mo's movements."

Ed frowned.

He did not hide his conversation with his two men, and everyone in the conference heard their conversation.

Everyone present was one of the top forces in the barbarian realm game, so they had their own source of intelligence. Soon, their subordinates also reported the urgent events that happened in the game.

One of the female players flipped through the information in her hands and suddenly said, "Ed, my team has been working in the Empire military headquarters. We just received an important piece of information that might be of help to you."

Ed looked up at the female player and asked, "What is it?"

"General Deng Wen of the Empire has already defeated the main forces of the barbarians in the Linxi City area. Just now, General Deng Wen received an order from the royal family. The general who was originally going to support the troops had gone in another direction to the Land of Plague to capture Lord Fang Heng."

"Other than that, the Empire has also transferred manpower from the Mage Association and sent the royal guards to the Land of Plague to capture them."

"Many feudal lords have also received orders from the royal family and are already halfway to the Land of Plague."

"The Land of Plague is now under the surveillance of the entire Empire."

The woman licked her lips and said, "It seems like there's going to be a lot of fun over there."

This was bad.

The Land of Plague was about to be targeted by the royal family!

Could Fang Heng withstand this?

Ed's heart sank.

Suddenly, he thought of something and his eyes lit up.

The Empire's attention was all on the Land of Plague?

Even the royal guards were sent to capture Fang Heng?

Could it be…

Ed's heart could not help but beat violently.

The Empire's General Deng Wen was not around, and most of the royal guards guarding the capital had also withdrawn. There were also some people recruited and transferred from the Mage Association. The attention of the Empire had also been attracted to the Land of Plague.

One could imagine that the defense of the Empire's Imperial City had reached an unprecedented emptiness!

This might be their best chance to take down the entire Empire in one fell swoop!

Ed suddenly had a wonderful realization.

Could everything be part of Fang Heng's deliberate arrangement?

It couldn't be, but there was a possibility!

That's right! It must be like this!

Otherwise, why would Fang Heng dig up someone else's ancestral grave for no reason?

It was to attract hatred!

Everything was under Fang Heng's control!

A raging fire burned under Ed's calm gaze as he glanced at the people in the conference room.

"Everyone, don't panic. If I'm not wrong, all of this is actually Lord Fang Heng's plan."

Everyone looked at Ed with questioning eyes again.

Ed said in a deep voice, "Everyone, think about it carefully. At present, the Empire's main military forces have been attracted by Lord Fang Heng. The protection of the Imperial City will only become weaker. This is a rare opportunity for us. We only need to seize this opportunity and find a way to sneak into the Imperial City and give the royal family a fatal blow!"

Everyone's expression changed slightly when they heard this.

The destruction of the Imperial mausoleum and the arrest warrant from the royal family were also planned by Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue?

Although it was shocking, it seemed to make some sense when he thought about it carefully.

If they could seize the opportunity to give the royal family a fatal blow…

Ed had just said that they had to be quick so that they would not give the Empire a chance to react. However, Fang Heng's swift action was beyond everyone's expectations.

Ed looked excited and said, "Everyone, time is of the essence. Lord Fang Heng has already helped us resist the Empire's huge pressure. We must immediately make plans and take down the Empire before the Empire destroys the Land of Plague!"

"Yes."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Since they had already decided to cooperate, there was nothing more to say. They would do their best!

"Some of my men are inside the Imperial City. I'll find a way to take charge of the East gate area. When the time comes, we can sneak in from there to avoid being discovered in advance…"

…

[Hint: The Empire's royal family has issued a warrant for your arrest. Your friendship with the royal family has reached the level of hatred.]

[Hint: The Empire has removed you from the position of the Empire's feudal lord.]

[Hint: Your friendliness with the feudal lords has decreased.]

[Hint: You have lost your feudal lord status.]

[Hint: The royal guards are pursuing you.]

[Warning: The Empire's general Deng Wen is going to attack you. He will arrive in Hani City in 24 hours.]

After leaving the capital of the Empire on the falcon with the others, Fang Heng immediately returned to the Land of Plague through a teleportation array in the underground world.

They did not even have the time to communicate with Wei Tao and the rest.

On the way back to the Land of Plague, game notifications kept appearing on Fang Heng's retina.

Fang Heng knitted his brows tightly and checked the game's description.

Perhaps it was because his mental strength was slightly stronger than before, but the side effects of using Everlasting Moon also weakened him faster than before.

After more than two hours of rest, he was now able to use skills that consumed mental power. However, before using the skill, he would have to deduct twice the amount of HP that was consumed by his MP.

With the combination of his passive undying body, this amount of damage was nothing to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to Tang Mingyue and asked, "How's the situation?"

"Yes, very good."

Tang Mingyue nodded her head.

Among all of them, Tang Mingyue's injury was undoubtedly the least severe. She was still full of energy and vigor, and she had returned to the previous state of excitement where she seemed to be able to use her skills infinitely.

In comparison, Wangnet's situation was terrible.

After leaving the underground world's teleportation passage, Wangnet completely fainted. Black blood was still oozing out of his body as his body continued to disintegrate.

Fang Heng frowned and looked at Qiu Yaokang, asking, "How's his condition?"

"It's very bad. I need to perform surgery on him. Also, I still have a lot of experimental equipment and materials left in the city. I need to do research immediately when I get back. The longer it takes, the more troublesome it will be."

Fang Heng frowned.

They were wanted by the Empire, yet he still wanted to return to the city?

"We can't go back to the city for the time being. Let's go back to the Land of Plague first. I'll find a way to get the materials and equipment back."

1215 Repair

"Yes."

Qiu Yaokang nodded and said no more. He took out the mysterious eyeball that he had just gotten from Fang Heng and began to observe it.

"How's the eyeball?"

"It's still in good condition, and there's no loss of function. It won't be a big problem to transplant it." Qiu Yaokang observed the eyeball and continued, "However, due to the lack of nourishment, it has already lost a small part of its abilities. It needs to be transplanted as soon as possible. The longer it takes, the more weakened the eyeball's abilities will be."

"Yes, I'll transplant it immediately after we return to the Land of Plague. I'll think of a way to stabilize Wangnet first."

While they were talking, they had already entered the sky above the Land of Plague.

The barbarian's falcon had a heartfelt fear of the forest that covered the sky. No matter how the others urged it, it didn't dare to move forward.

Helplessly, Tang Mingyue could only command the falcon to stop at the entrance of the Land of Plague.

Warren had followed the group all the way here, and when he saw the giant sacred tree that enveloped the entire Land of Plague, he could not help but be shocked.

Was this also set up using alchemy?

"Chi Chi Chi…"

Under Fang Heng's control, the layers of vines in front of him made way for them.

Several vines extended from both sides of the passage in the depths of the forest and quickly condensed into the shape of a ship in front of everyone.

"Let's go, help him."

Fang Heng helped Wangnet up and stood on the ship with him.

"Chi! Chi Chi…"

After they stood still, the ship-shaped vines under their feet dragged them quickly through the forest passage.

Warren looked at the scenery around him that was flying past him, and the surprise on his face grew stronger.

How did he do that?

This was the first time he had seen such a powerful spell technique, and he couldn't help but size up the forest of vines.

After leaving the mausoleum, he saw many things that he had never imagined would happen.

He was already somewhat convinced that Fang Heng was the true inheritor of the Saint.

To be able to have a more outstanding inheritor than him, Warren felt extremely gratified.

He couldn't help but reveal a self-deprecating smile.

It seemed that he had been locked up in the underground world for too long, and was already out of touch with the outside world.

When they reached the foot of the sacred tree, the ship-shaped vines under their feet quickly disintegrated and spread back to the surroundings.

Fang Heng carried Wangnet on his back and brought him to the temporary laboratory, placing him on the bed.

Qiu Yaokang and Tang Mingyue immediately started to clean up the research room. Sandy stood guard beside them, looking a little anxious.

"Eh? You can?"

Fang Heng was standing in the same place and communicating with the sacred tree with his spiritual power. He sensed the eagerness of the sacred tree.

The sacred tree bloomed with faint stars.

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

He suddenly realized that the sacred tree also had auxiliary healing skills. It was just that he had never tried this skill before.

"Alright, give it a try!"

"Chi Chi Chi…"

With Fang Heng's permission, several vines rolled in through the window not far from the bed and slowly spread toward Wangnet, who was lying on the bed. Then, they gently wrapped around Wangnet, dragged him out of the window, and rose into the air.

Everyone couldn't help but look out the window.

The gentle green light fell from the sacred tree and landed on Wangnet, who quickly absorbed it.

Eh?

The unconscious Wangnet's furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and the cracks on his body quickly disappeared and healed.

Tang Mingyue couldn't help but look happy when she saw Wangnet's reaction. She pulled on Fang Heng's sleeve and said, "Look, it's really effective!

Fang Heng was also a bit surprised.

The effect was actually so good?

He had tried using the holy light on Wangnet to heal him on their way back, but it did not work.

That's right, this was the sacred tree, Abe Akaya!

Fang Heng felt relieved again.

One had to know that the sacred tree could even lift the curse of the holy realm. What was this as compared to that?

A moment later, the green specks that fell from the sacred tree stopped.

The vines put Wangnet back on the bed.

Qiu Yaokang frowned and stood by the bed to check on Wangnet's physical condition. He was also surprised.

"How is it?"

"Good news, his injuries have been alleviated for the time being. His life is no longer in danger. He will wake up after a period of rest."

As he spoke, Qiu Yaokang took a live sample from Wangnet's body.

Hearing this, Sandy was completely at ease.

After all, Wangnet dragged him along when he was running for his life, and he did not want his benefactor to die just like that.

Sandy's brows suddenly twitched as he thought of something. He revealed a happy expression and asked, "Does that mean he'll be fine in the future? If he's injured, he can come back and rely on the sacred tree for treatment?"

"No, no."

Qiu Yaokang took the second sample collector and stabbed it into Wangnet's arm. He continued to explain, "The sacred tree only temporarily healed his injuries."

"The sacred tree does have a strong ability to repair the body, but it is useless against the virus that's inside Wangnet."

"The virus' damage to the body is still increasing in strength. For now, the healing ability of the sacred tree can temporarily withstand it. However, one day, the destructive power of the virus will directly cause the body to collapse. At that time, there will be no chance of recovery."

"To completely resolve the virus' backlash, we still need to do research step by step."

Qiu Yaokang stood up and walked to the other side, putting the blood sample that was just half-cultivated aside. He then took out Sydney's eyeball and looked at Fang Heng, asking, "There's time now. Let's get this done first. It's useless after it's spoiled. Or should we find someone else?"

"It will take more time to prepare for the transplant to someone else, and there may be a risk of death from surgical infection. If it's you, there's no need to worry about it. The probability of failure for my transplant is also zero, and I'm sure I can complete the transplant 100%. As for the final effect after the transplant is completed, I can't guarantee it."

"Also, this eyeball is different. Using this eyeball requires extra energy, and ordinary people can't use it."

Fang Heng nodded to Qiu Yaokang and confirmed, "Will there be any negative effects after the transplant?"

"I can't guarantee this for now." Qiu Yaokang shrugged nonchalantly. and continued, "Rejection is possible. Don't worry, I'll preserve your eyeball temporarily. At worst, I'll transplant it back. There won't be any problems."

"Alright then, do it."

Fang Heng made the decision after thinking for a while.

He had fought with Sydney before.

Even without the final stage where he fused with the abyssal worm, Sydney's strength was still terrifying.

An additional S-level talent would also greatly improve his strength.

Qiu Yaokang quickly changed into a new set of clothes and gloves, and said, "Okay, we'll start right away. The rest of you can go out for a while."

Fang Heng didn't say much and lay on another bed directly.

He was 100% confident in Qiu Yaokang's ability.

Sydney's eyeball could not be stored for a long time, it would die soon. In any case, he had spent so much effort so he had to use it quickly.

Just as Qiu Yaokang said, if he felt that it was not good, he could switch back to his original eye!

1216 Transplant

Qiu Yaokang mixed a few herbs on the experiment table and handed over a cup of sleeping substance.

"Drink it. If there's something wrong with your body, don't resist it, or the sleeping effect won't work."

"Alright."

Fang Heng answered, took the medicine, and drank it all in one gulp. Then, he closed his eyes and lay on the operating table.

Even though he did not resist, Fang Heng did not feel sleepy at all after closing his eyes. He felt as if he had just drunk a cup of sugar water.

He could clearly hear the whispers of Tang Mingyue and the others as they left the room and went to rest. He could even hear the clashing sounds of Qiu Yaokang counting the surgical props.

Suddenly, a few lines of game prompts appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has undergone an unknown eyeball transplant.]

[Hint: After the transplant is completed, the player will receive a special talent skill.]

[Hint: The player is currently transplanting. Current transplant success rate: 100%, player's current compatibility: 82%. The player will need to spend 1,000,000 survival points and 1,200,000 King of Gods' points to complete the transplant.]

So much?

A total of 1.2 million King of Gods' points!

Fang Heng was shocked.

This was terrible.

He didn't have many King of Gods' points left.

[Hint: Players are unable to carry out transactions in the current trial state. Due to your identity as a World Lord, you can carry out a temporary mortgage loan operation. The maximum number of King of Gods' points you can borrow is 1,000,000.]

[Hint: The pawned item cannot be traded or used. If the loan is not paid in 20 days, all the collateral will be sold automatically.]

[Hint: Before the loan is repaid, all the King of Gods' points obtained by the player will be used to repay the loan immediately.]

Fang Heng was tempted.

Without any hesitation, he chose 'confirm'!

Judging from his experience in previous games, the cost of transplanting an eyeball was so high that the strength of the talent obtained would not be trash!

Fang Heng was very willing to take a gamble.

He was betting on the value of the profits that the eyeball would bring!

[Hint: The player has chosen to take a loan. Please choose your collateral.]

"Chi…"

A selection box appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

A large number of items appeared in the selection box. Other than the items in his backpack, there were also many items from other game worlds.

Fang Heng didn't even look at it carefully. He chose a few items that he wouldn't use in other game worlds as collateral.

At the bottom right corner of his vision, the value of the collateral rapidly soared.

[Hint: The player has completed the mortgage. Please complete the payment within 20 days.]

[Hint: The player has spent 1,000,000 survival points and 1,200,000 King of Gods' points to perform a special transplant.]

[Hint: Current infection rate: 0%. The current transplant success rate is 100%.]

Qiu Yaokang frowned as he stood in front of the operating table.

He knew that Fang Heng had a strong self-healing ability and a powerful Hila virus in his body, so he chose to use a straightforward method. He directly cut a long wound around Fang Heng's eye and poured a special potion on it.

"Chi Chi Chi…"

Qiu Yaokang's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. The scalpel flashed quickly, and he took off Fang Heng's eyeball and put it on a tray.

Almost at the same time, Qiu Yaokang placed the omniscient eyeball from the glassware into the torn eye socket.

Eh? He actually…

Qiu Yaokang narrowed his eyes.

In just half a second, another eyeball began to grow out of Fang Heng's eye socket.

This was troublesome.

Fang Heng's self-healing ability was too strong!

Qiu Yaokang was about to make a move when he suddenly had an idea.

What was going on?

The new eyeball touched Sydney's eyeball, and a strange fusion occurred between the two!

"Chi… Chi Chi…"

Qiu Yaokang frowned. He immediately stopped trying to remove the new eyeball and continued to observe quietly.

The new eyeball almost swallowed Sydney's eyeball in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, the wound on Fang Heng's eyeball healed quickly. Qiu Yaokang didn't even need to do anything. It was completely healed in just a few seconds.

Buzzzzzz!

An alchemy rune was reflected in Fang Heng's pupils instantly and then dissipated in an instant.

Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng, who was slowly opening his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Fang Heng, how do you feel?"

Fang Heng opened his eyes again.

He felt his vision blur for a few moments before quickly recovering.

Looking at the right tray, the eyeball that had just been removed had already melted into a pool of blood.

Immediately after, the game prompt appeared on his retina again.

[Hint: The player has fused right eye-the omniscient eye (alchemy).]

[Hint: The player has used a special method to fuse the omniscient eye (alchemy), so he will not be affected by the rejection effect.]

[Hint: The current player has met the basic attribute requirements to use the omniscient eye.]

[Hint: The player's current compatibility with the omniscient eye is 82%. The omniscient eye's talent skill effect only has an 82% effect. Consumption increased by 28%. The player can try to find ways to increase compatibility with the omniscient eye.]

[Hint: The player has obtained a new S-level talent-omniscient eye (alchemy).]

Success!

Fang Heng immediately opened his character attribute bar and looked for the description of the omniscient eye's skill.

[Talent: The omniscient eye (alchemy).]

Talent level: S

Innate additional skill 1: Omniscience.

Skill description: The player's alchemy has been passively raised to the maximum of the elementary level. After observing various academic spells, the player can see the mystery of the spell. The player can choose whether to master the basic academic (the academic skills that can be mastered include: basic necromancy, basic Natural Science, basic Arcana, basic elementalism, basic spatial science, and basic astrology). When the basic academic level is raised to the maximum, it will automatically advance to an elementary academic skill. (Learning more than one skill will still be subject to the additional penalty of learning more than one subject.)

Innate additional skill 2: Alchemy control.

Skill description: The player can control the alchemy array at close range without sealing or touching it. By consuming mental power and vitality, the player can control the alchemy array remotely within a certain distance.

Innate additional skill 3: Alchemy induction.

Talent description: The success rate of casting alchemy magic arrays is increased by 5%, and the final power is increased by 10%. Improvement formula (final success rate *1.05%; Final power*1.1%).

It was an extremely powerful skill!

Fang Heng read the description of the innate skills once and was very excited.

The one million King of Gods' points he spent was worth it!

To an ordinary person, the innate attributes were already powerful enough, and the three additional skills were all extremely useful.

For Fang Heng, the 'omniscience' skill could even be used in conjunction with the zombie clone talent and the academic skill to produce a terrifying effect!

After all, even if ordinary players had the effect of omniscience, they would suffer the negative effect of learning multiple subjects at the same time. They would not be able to learn too many skills, and at most, they would only be able to choose two to three of them.

But it was different for Fang Heng!

The 'omniscience' skill combined with a large number of zombie clones to gain experience was simply too awesome!

Fang Heng was excited and scanned the six skills brought by omniscience again.

According to the instructions, other than the basic necromancy, the other five skills could be learned by finding a player with the skill and having him demonstrate the skill in front of him!

After this trial was over and he returned to the elementary game, he had to find an opportunity to maximize all the low-level skills that the omniscient eye had brought him. He had to increase his basic attributes first.

Fang Heng's eyes glowed with excitement.

1217 The Search

The realm of the barbarians.

The headquarters of the Holy Court in the eastern part of the Empire.

In the prayer temple, Bishop Karkkila was bathed in the holy light. He knelt piously in front of the Book of Oath and silently chanted the prayer.

All of a sudden, he sensed something. He opened his eyes, gazing at the altar in front of him.

Holy light fell from the sky and gathered on the Book of Oath on the altar.

"Ka ka ka…"

The pages of the Book of Oath flipped by themselves under the mysterious force's guidance, and they quickly stopped at one of the pages.

A gentle holy light bloomed from the Book of Oath.

A miracle!

A miracle had actually appeared in front of him!

Karkkila prayed silently, his eyes shining with a strange light, and even his breathing was a little rushed because of his excitement.

"Bishop."

Behind him, the door of the prayer hall was slowly pushed open.

Two knights from the Holy Court entered the room respectfully and knelt on one knee.

"The news from the Empire says that the Imperial mausoleum of the Empire has been destroyed."

Karkkila took a deep breath and slowly stood up.

A warm smile appeared on his face.

"The seal of the Imperial mausoleum has loosened. This day has come faster than we expected. The holy realm has already sent the latest revelation."

Karkkila turned his head with a pious smile on his face and said, "It's our destiny, holy warriors."

"This continent has decayed. The people have forgotten their faith and who saved their lives. Disaster is coming, and it will awaken their painful memories."

"For the sake of a bright future, we must make some sacrifices."

"Darkness shall bring about a new life. Only the holy light can save this world."

The followers of the Holy Court were all excited.

"Begin executing our plan. I believe that the holy light will once again illuminate this land and completely dispel the darkness."

"As you wish, Lord Bishop."

….

In the Land of Plague, in the central region of the sacred tree forest, as he watched the zombie clones come and go, transporting resources to help with the construction of the Tier 2 mage tower, Warren's eyes were filled with surprise.

The zombie creatures could actually cooperate and help in the construction of the mage tower?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Warren would have found it hard to imagine.

Was Fang Heng controlling everything from behind the scenes?

With Fang Heng around, they could really build a large number of mage towers on the continent and completely seal the abyssal demons!

Warren unconsciously loosened his clenched fist.

For hundreds of years, under the heavy pressure of the Empire, Warren had always felt that completely eliminating the demons had gradually become an illusory thing.

Until he met Fang Heng.

He seemed to have seen the light of hope in Fang Heng.

He had never been so excited before.

"What's wrong with the people from the Mage Association? Why are they in the Land of Plague?"

Once again, Warren shifted his gaze to the members of the Mage Association, his eyes filled with doubt.

"Yes, I've worked with the Mage Association before, and I asked them for help. In recent years, the Empire has been researching a replica of the enlightenment stone through alchemy. Have you heard about this?"

Hearing the voice behind him, Warren turned around and looked at Fang Heng who was walking towards him.

He frowned slightly and stared into Fang Heng's eyes to observe.

The eye transplant was a success?

So fast?

Warren paid more attention to Fang Heng's eyes and asked, "Your eyes? It was successful?"

Tang Mingyue, who was with Warren, also looked at Fang Heng with curiosity.

"Yes, my physique is rather special."

Fang Heng nodded. He had just completed the transplantation of the omniscient eye. After trying it out and finding that it was not affected, he immediately rushed over to find Warren.

"How do you feel?" Warren asked.

"Hmm, not bad."

"You'll feel better after resting for a while."

Warren nodded.

In his opinion, the ability to transplant organs through alchemy and medicine was also a part of the use of power.

There were specialized branches in alchemy.

Previously, Sydney had fused himself with the abyssal worm, which could also be considered a special organ transplant.

However, after the organ transplant, there would be a very troublesome body rejection reaction.

This kind of rejection would accompany him for life.

This was especially so for organs like the omniscient eye, which had powerful abilities. The stronger the body, the stronger the rejection, and the more it could not truly integrate with the body.

Fang Heng might not be able to control it in a short period of time.

It would take at least a few years, or even decades, to master some of the omniscient eye's abilities.

"Yes, I've done some detailed research on the enlightenment stone."

Warren pulled everyone's thoughts back to the enlightenment stone.

"The enlightenment stone can provide the demonic seed with great power and even eliminate part of the backlash. I've looked up some records before, and the late Emperor Andrast also used the power of the enlightenment stone when she first used the demonic seed."

"After that, even after the demonic seed was destroyed, the royal family never gave up on trying to completely control the demonic seed. The replica of the enlightenment stone might have been developed by the royal family to control the evil demons."

Fang Heng nodded and continued, "We're in a bad situation now. The Empire has issued a wanted order to the entire Land of Plague, and we should all be on the Empire's wanted list. Anyway, I'm going to return to Hani City to see what the Empire is doing."

As he spoke, Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the Tier 2 ghost tower that was under construction.

The Empire might have felt threatened this time, so they declared their hostility against the Land of Plague. They didn't even care about the barbarians and directly sent the royal guards and General Deng Wen to the Land of Plague.

Would the sacred tree in the Land of Plague be able to stop the army of the Empire?

Fang Heng wasn't sure about this.

Let's do it step by step!

Fang Heng took a deep breath and thought of a way to complete the construction of the Tier 2 mage tower.

Originally, the Tier 2 mage tower was already 80% complete. Due to the sudden cancellation of his lordship by the Empire, the endless supply of resources that had been sent into the Land of Plague through the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had also stopped.

The rest of the construction plans for the mage towers with the other feudal lords had also temporarily come to a halt.

He could only roughly judge the attitude of the feudal lords towards the Land of Plague by their friendliness.

Well, most of them were hostile, and only a small number of them were still friendly.

Fang Heng felt a headache just thinking about it.

It was too difficult.

He still wanted to build a mage tower in the territories of the various feudal lords with his own strength when he was at odds with the Empire.

In your dreams!

Right now, he could only take things one step at a time. First, he had to go to Hani City to ask about the situation and retrieve the construction materials that had originally belonged to the Land of Plague. He had to think of a way to complete the construction of the Tier 2 mage towers.

When the supplies were transferred back, Wei Tao and the rest should also return to the Land of Plague to discuss the follow-up plan. They would try to find a breakthrough from the mission they received after killing Sydney.

While thinking, Fang Heng took another look at the direction indicated by the mission.

The distance was very far, and the general direction seemed to be somewhere in the southern part of the Empire.

1218 Power Generator

"It's very dangerous to go to Hani City alone. Do you need me to go with you?"

Warren cast an inquiring look at Fang Heng and said, "Alchemy isn't good at head-on combat, but it can still help a little."

"No need. I'm just going to take a look. I can handle it alone. Also, the magic array of the enlightenment stone needs someone to take care of it."

"Hmm, good. I've been studying the enlightenment stone for quite some time. I'll try to see if I can make some improvements to the alchemy array I've synthesized with the enlightenment stone replica."

Warren understood Fang Heng's thoughts and nodded, "Don't worry. I'll take good care of these alchemy magic arrays."

"What about me? Do you want me to go back to Hani City with you?"

Fang Heng couldn't help looking at Tang Mingyue, his eyes showing a bit of eagerness.

The main point was here.

Tang Mingyue!

Fang Heng pressed his hands heavily on Tang Mingyue's shoulders.

"No need, it's just a small matter in Hani City. Mingyue, there's a more important thing that I need your help with. Only you can help me. Whether we can get the highest reward in this trial depends on you!"

"Meh?"

Sensing Fang Heng's serious tone, Tang Mingyue also became a little suspicious and asked, "Really? Am I the only one who can help?"

"Yes, yes."

Fang Heng nodded his head in a hurry and pointed at the alchemy magic array made from large pieces of enlightenment stones on the ground not far away.

"Look over there."

"Meh?"

"Mental strength, I need your help to pour in mental strength!"

After absorbing the power of the 'demonic seed', Tang Mingyue now had endless mental strength.

In Fang Heng's eyes, Tang Mingyue was like a perpetual power generator!

To rely on Tang Mingyue to fight?

The heavens! This was such a waste!

She alone was equivalent to more than a dozen teams of mages continuously pouring their mental strength into creating enlightenment stones!

In fact, Tang Mingyue's 'power generator' alone would be even stronger!

In addition, the legendary alchemist, Warren, was working with them…

Tang Mingyue would provide her mental strength, and Warren would operate the alchemy magic array to complete the creation of the enlightenment stone replica!

He only needed the basic materials to construct the enlightenment stone, and he could continuously produce them!

After absorbing the enlightenment stone, the level of the sacred tree in the Land of Plague would be greatly increased…

This was such a beautiful scene.

Fang Heng's eyes were shining with excitement.

It was a perfect loop!

Fang Heng's eyes were extremely firm, "Mingyue, leave the other main missions and other small things to me. You are the most important thing now! As long as you pour in all your mental strength!"

…

Hani City.

The city was jittery.

The ordinary citizens were all sent home in advance and locked up. A large number of soldiers swarmed into the center of the city and imposed martial law. The entire city was filled with a somber atmosphere.

"Disaster, undead, a terrible disaster…"

Ma Xiaowan couldn't help but mutter to herself in the prison.

Previously, after the Empire had announced that the Land of Plague had committed treason, the Tianli Mercenary Group, which had been transporting supplies to the Land of Plague, did not have time to escape. In the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by the troops led by the City Lord of Hani City.

Ma Xiaowan had no choice but to surrender.

Some of their warehouses and materials in Hani City were taken over by the city and the entire Tianli Mercenary Group was temporarily locked in the prison.

Ma Xiaowan had a premonition that being too close to the undead would lead to a huge disaster.

However, when she heard that Fang Heng had blown up the ancestral grave of the Empire's royal family, she was still stunned for quite a while.

The undead had really reached new heights in their death-seeking.

"Captain, there's bad news. All the resources transported into Hani City have been seized by the City Lord. Even a few large warehouses of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in the city have been sealed. The situation in the other cities is not good either…"

"Okay, I got it."

Ma Xiaowan nodded and took a deep breath.

Everyone kicks a man when he's down.

Previously, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the Land of Plague and frequently traded with the feudal lords, making a huge profit.

This also made many Chambers of Commerce jealous.

At the moment, the entire Tianli Mercenary Group's supplies were temporarily seized, and even the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was affected. It was not just Hani City, but all the supplies they had hoarded in other major cities were also temporarily seized.

Regardless of whether the goods had anything to do with Fang Heng, all the goods were seized at once.

The Chamber of Commerce must be behind this.

"Captain, let's think of a way. There are still many supplies that are still being transported back to Hani City. If we stay here, our losses will only get bigger…"

Seeing the heavy losses, the team guards locked up in the cells grew anxious.

The team assistant could not help asking, "Why don't we just work with the City Lord of Hani City, Brian?"

"We've been to the Land of Plague personally, so we know a lot about them. If we cooperate with Brian, we should be able to protect a large part of our supplies in the warehouse in Hani City…"

"Shut up!"

Ma Xiaowan glared at her assistant to stop him from continuing.

"Don't mention cooperating with the Empire anymore. The royal guards will be here soon, and the great General Deng Wen will personally come to preside over the situation. At that time, he will naturally give us a fair punishment."

Ma Xiaowan's expression was cold.

Cooperate with Brian? And offend a natural disaster?

How do you think the Imperial mausoleum of the Empire collapsed?

You don't want to live?

Logic told Ma Xiaowan that if she gathered the power of the entire Empire, fighting the Land of Plague would be child's play.

However, she was still unwilling to offend a necromancy mage.

All this while, she witnessed the rise of the Land of Plague with her own eyes.

The whole process was terrifying.

Ma Xiaowan would rather have her mercenary group suffer a huge blow than go against Fang Heng.

Just as they were thinking, a sound came from outside the prison, and everyone was on alert.

The guards in the entire underground prison were in an uproar. They quickly gathered at the entrance of the underground prison and withdrew most of the guards from the prison area.

The outside world seemed to have entered some kind of chaos.

The imprisoned members of the Tianli Mercenary Group looked at each other and felt that something was wrong.

A guard raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the cell. He asked suspiciously, "Captain, did something happen outside?"

Ma Xiaowan tried to look out of the prison, but her vision was limited. At most, she could only see the corridor and a small part of the entrance to the underground prison.

"I don't know,"

"Ahem, Captain, do you want to?"

A handsome middle-aged man in the team gave Ma Xiaowan a look and asked in a low voice.

The Tianli Mercenary Group had been out all year round, so naturally, there were many people with unique skills in the group.

It wasn't difficult to break open the door of a dungeon like this.

Ma Xiaowan hesitated for a moment. She couldn't help but come up with an unlikely idea.

Could it be…

The Land of Plague was attacking?

"No, we're not in a hurry. Let's wait."

Outside Hani City, Fang Heng looked calm. He stood on the vines extended by the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, and looked at Hani City, which was being invaded by the sacred tree in the distance.

Game notifications kept popping up on his retina.

[Hint: The sacred tree Abe Akaya has killed the Empire's guardian soldier. Your friendship with the Empire has dropped to the current limit.]

[Hint: You and Hani City have become enemies…]

[Hint: The sacred tree, Abe Akaya, has killed…]

[Hint: The morale of the city's guardian team has been greatly reduced.]

Fang Heng felt a sense of joy through the spiritual connection with Abe Akaya.

After absorbing enough energy, the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, wanted to grow and expand. It wanted to photosynthesize and absorb more energy.

Before this, the sacred tree had already spread to the foot of Hani City and swallowed the entire city.

At that time, Fang Heng had a good relationship with the Empire. He even counted on the Empire to help him build a mage tower. Therefore, this blind expansion was forcibly stopped by Fang Heng.

This time, the sacred tree launched an attack on the entire Hani City under Fang Heng's control!

The strength of the sacred tree in its battle form was higher than Fang Heng had expected!

The vines climbed up the city walls and quickly reached the top of the city walls, attacking the Empire soldiers on the city walls.

They didn't even need to use the Lickers and zombie clones. The sacred tree alone was enough to beat up most of the guards.

At first glance, it seemed like the entire Hani City was going to be taken over.

Originally, Fang Heng didn't want to make such a big deal.

At first, he only wanted to sneak into Hani City to check out the situation and get his own supplies.

He didn't expect the City Lord of Hani City, Brian, to be such a talent in defending the city.

Brian knew how terrifying the Land of Plague was.

That was a monster that could resist the barbarian army!

From the very beginning, Brian wanted to defend Hani City to death for a few hours until the royal guards sent by the Empire arrived.

Therefore, the four city gates of the entire city were tightly guarded, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

The soldiers stood on the city wall, waiting for him.

After arriving outside Hani City, Fang Heng circled around the city and observed it for a few rounds, but he still couldn't find a way to sneak into the city.

Time was slowly being wasted, and the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, was constantly using its psyche to encourage him. Therefore, he decided to let the sacred tree attack!

The effect was unexpectedly good!

On the city wall in the distance, Brian, the City Lord of Hani City, was frozen as he watched the layers of vines sweeping in from all directions.

He was already on full alert and did not underestimate his opponent.

However, he still couldn't win!

Faced with the green vines that kept appearing, the Empire's soldiers raised their weapons to fight back. The sharp weapons cut through the vines and thorns.

However, they could not stop the vines at all!

Wave after wave of vines came endlessly, and the Empire's soldiers were exhausted from dealing with them.

"Lord Brian, the eastern city wall needs reinforcements. The vines have invaded the city from the East… We've already sent an emergency signal to the royal guards, and they're on their way…"

Brian's heart sank as he listened to the reports from his men.

The sacred tree in the Land of Plague was too terrifying!

"BOOM!!!"

Suddenly, there was a violent shake under his feet.

What's going on?

Brian's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but look down at the city wall.

From the depths of the Land of Plague, a huge vine thorn extended out, and the sharp thorn dug a huge hole under the city wall!

"Mages! Set up a firewall!"

In the chaos, the city's deputy commander shouted.

The Empire's mages in the city were originally prepared to deal with the barbarians.

Now, the enemy was the sacred tree.

The fire spells cast by the mages could cause great damage to the vines. The flames stopped the vines from spreading temporarily, but the mages' mental strength was very limited, and the range of the flames they summoned was not large enough, so they could only stop the attack of the vines in a certain area.

The dense vines scuttled over from both sides of the dense flames!

The sounds of weapons clashing and people shouting reverberated on the city wall.

The Empire's soldiers were exhausted from running. They raised their weapons mechanically and continuously slashed at the endless vines.

If they were not careful, the Empire would be dragged off the city wall by the vines and would be dragged deep into the soil, becoming the nourishment of the sacred tree.

"Three more hours, Lord Brian. Please hold on. The royal guards will arrive soon. Please hold on!"

Brian's face was ashen.

He watched the soldiers fall one by one without a word.

He couldn't win.

He had never felt so powerless before, not even when he was facing the barbarians.

Three hours?

Not to mention three hours, he wouldn't even be able to hold on for half an hour!

The vines ignored the city walls and broke through the defense of the guards on the city walls, successfully invading the city.

The elite soldiers of the Empire had already begun to fight in the streets.

The moral of the Empire's soldiers plummeted as they saw their comrades dying one after another.

In the past, it was easy to deal with the barbarian race. Even if the demonized barbarian race was very strong, they still had a way to deal with it.

But these vines?

They couldn't see any hope of winning against such vines with endless vitality!

The sharp long sword could cut the vines and cause them pain, but as the vines were repelled time and time again, more and more vines would spread over. It was simply…

The veins on Brian's neck bulged as he shouted to the royal guards, "Get lost! Stop making meaningless sacrifices, we surrender, we surrender to the Land of Plague."

The royal guard's face was pale as he asked, "My Lord, do you know what you are saying?"

"I told you to get lost! Don't let the soldiers of the Empire sacrifice in vain! Did you hear that? I'm going to surrender to the Land of Plague!"

[Hint: The City Lord of Hani City, Brian, has surrendered to the Land of Plague.]

[Hint: If the player accepts the surrender, he will gain control of Hani City and his relationship with the Empire will be greatly reduced.]

[Hint: In the current trial mode, the player cannot open the mission line related to the special Empire conquest mode. The player can still choose to proceed with the conquest mode.]

In the distance, Fang Heng saw the white flag raised on the city wall.

Immediately after, the game notifications popped up.

Surrendering?

It really went so smoothly?

It seemed to be a little off from what he had expected.

Fang Heng curled his lips and checked the game prompt.

From the start, he had never thought of directly taking down Hani City.

Conquest mode?

Conquer the entire Empire?

This was a bit of nonsense.

The sacred tree had a strong territory, and could only deal with Hani City with a single blow.

"It's over. The grudge between us and the Empire is getting bigger and bigger…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself in a low voice as he realized that the development of the matter was a little beyond his expectation.

For now, he shall take it one step at a time.

He would have to construct a Tier 2 mage tower first.

Fang Heng didn't think too much about it. He reached out his hand and clicked on the 'accept surrender' option.

[Hint: You have gained control of Hani City.]

[Hint: The player's affinity with the Empire has dropped greatly. The affinity between you and some of the Empire's feudal lords has changed.]

[Hint: The player's reputation on the continent has increased.]

[Hint: The player has created the Land of Plague and occupied the Empire's city, Hani City. Hani City has become the Land of Plague's territory. The Empire and some of the game forces will issue hostile missions. Some players may receive missions related to their enemy. Please be careful.]

Fang Heng couldn't help sighing in his heart when he saw the game prompt that had been triggered.

Trouble still came.

In the current trial environment, the more contact he had with the players, the easier it was for the game to judge that he was using the players for the trial, and thus be punished by the game.

To him, the players were the most unstable time bomb.

"Chi Chi Chi…"

The sacred tree, Abe Akaya, stopped attacking and quickly surrounded the city.

Fang Heng climbed up the city wall under the escort of the vines.

He soon saw Brian and his men walking towards him.

The Empire's soldiers had already laid down their weapons.

"Lord Fang Heng, we meet again."

Seeing Fang Heng wearing a mask, Brian revealed a smile that was uglier than crying.

From the beginning to the end, Fang Heng was the only one.

Yet, he had taken over their entire city by himself.

Fang Heng waved his hand, "Would you believe me if I said that all of this is a misunderstanding?"

Brian's face was bitter.

You've won, so you can say whatever you want.

It was also a misunderstanding that the Empire's Imperial mausoleum was blown up.

"Of course, it's all a misunderstanding. I only hope that my Lord will not make things difficult for the residents of the city. They have not done anything wrong."

"Naturally."

Fang Heng didn't know what Brian was thinking, and he didn't bother to spend time explaining. He didn't even want Hani City.

"Where are the supplies that my feudal lord friends sent? I remember that I entrusted the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and the Tianli Mercenary Group to help me collect supplies, but I haven't seen them for a while, so I came to Hani City to look for them."

The smile on Brian's face stiffened, and he said, "Please follow me to the City Lord's hall. I'll go get someone immediately."

…

In the prison, the Tianli Mercenary Group members who were locked up felt uneasy.

The commotion outside seemed to be getting louder and louder.

More than three minutes ago, the few remaining guards in the prison had also completely left.

Could it be…

Ma Xiaowan suddenly had a bad feeling.

Could it be that the Land of Plague had made a move on Hani City?

He dared to do this!

Suddenly, the expression of a young man standing against the wall in the prison room changed. He took a few steps back and asked in a deep voice, "What is that? You guys, look!"

Ma Xiaowan looked in the direction that the person was pointing at, and her face immediately revealed a strange expression.

Green vines and leaves grew out of the cracks in the stone walls of the prison!

The branches and leaves of the vines grew rapidly, spreading toward the people locked up in the prison at a speed visible to the naked eye!

At that moment, Ma Xiaowan's heart was moved.

Two words suddenly appeared in her mind.

The 'sacred tree'!

The Land of Plague still made a move?

"Chi…"

The protective rune on Ma Xiaowan's body emitted a faint light.

These runes were previously provided by Fang Heng for the mercenary group to enter and exit the forest of the Land of Plague.

Under the influence of the light, the vines stopped growing and shrank back into the cracks in the wall.

There was no mistake!

The vines reacted to the runes of the Land of Plague!

Could it really be Fang Heng?

The undead actually dared to attack Hani City?

No one spoke, and the entire prison was eerily quiet.

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at Ma Xiaowan.

Just as everyone was at a loss, hurried footsteps came from the distance.

"Hurry up!"

More than ten royal guards hurried over.

Seeing that Ma Xiaowan and the others were safe and sound in the prison, the leader of the guards was relieved.

"Hurry up! What are you doing? Open the door!"

The prison guards quickly reacted and found the key to open the prison door while trembling.

The head guard looked at Ma Xiaowan and the others, who were a little bewildered, and said in a deep voice, "Hani City was attacked by the Land of Plague not long ago, and the City Lord has surrendered. Now, Hani City is the territory of the Land of Plague, and Lord Fang Heng wants to see you."

What?

Even though she had some guesses in her heart before she heard the news with her own ears, Ma Xiaowan couldn't help but open her mouth, and her eyes were full of shock.

The entire city has been taken down by him…

The head guard urged, "The feudal lord is in a hurry to see you, hurry up!"

Under the urging of the guards, Ma Xiaowan and the Tianli Mercenary Group were brought to the City Lord's mansion.

She had been muddleheaded all the way here, and she was very nervous, not knowing how to face the situation.

In the beginning, she just wanted to cooperate with the Land of Plague to make a sum of money and leave after this.

Why did it feel like they were about to get caught up in a dispute between the Empire and the undead rebel army?

While they were still in a daze, the team had already been brought to the City Lord's mansion.

Then, Ma Xiaowan saw Fang Heng sitting on the seat of the City Lord.

When Fang Heng saw Ma Xiaowan, he quickly glanced at her and asked anxiously, "Have you gathered the materials needed to build the Tier 2 mage tower?"

Ma Xiaowan was stunned.

She didn't expect that Fang Heng would be most concerned about the construction resources.

Shouldn't they be thinking about how to deal with the Empire's army?

"Eh? Is there a problem with the supplies?"

Ma Xiaowan felt a burning pressure from Fang Heng's gaze and whispered, "All, all…"

"Ahem." Brian wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He was glad that he didn't rush to touch the supplies and answered first.

"My Lord, the Tianli Mercenary Group's resources have been seized not long ago. Please rest assured that all the resources have been stored in the warehouse. I can ensure you their safety."

"Very good. The resources need to be transported back to the Land of Plague immediately."

Fang Heng continued to look at Ma Xiaowan and said, "During this period of time, there will be an endless stream of supplies being transported into Hani City as a transit point. I need the Tianli Mercenary Group to follow the contract and continue to deliver the supplies. City Lord Brian will assist you."

Ma Xiaowan felt as if there was something in her throat as she carefully glanced at Brian.

Brian felt bitter, but he nodded and said, "I'll definitely cooperate."

Ma Xiaowan took a deep breath and looked at Fang Heng again.

A very strong intuition rose in her heart.

Taking down Hani City was only the first step of Fang Heng as a feudal lord.

He had a bigger plan!

The construction materials were the evidence!

Perhaps she could witness the coming of a new era if she followed Fang Heng.

1221 The Origin of the Apocalypse

"I understand! The Tianli Mercenary Group will do our best to help the Lord!"

"Yes, go ahead."

Fang Heng waved his hand, signaling the team to start working quickly.

He thought it was strange that Ma Xiaowan suddenly became so serious. She was just helping to transport supplies, and there was no need to act like it was a military order.

Fang Heng turned around and thought about his next move.

Taking down Hani City was not part of his original plan.

But there was no harm in it. At most, they would fall out with the Empire.

Fang Heng continued to ponder.

After taking down a city, he had to make use of it. If everything went well, he could build a Tier 2 mage tower in Hani City. After all, Hani City was a small to medium-sized city in the Empire. Building a mage tower as a transit station would more or less improve the logistics.

In addition, judging from the time, the royal guards should arrive soon.

Turning Hani City into the first barrier to defend against the Empire's attacks would be a good idea.

Raising his head, Fang Heng saw that Ma Xiaowan had not left.

Ma Xiaowan stood still and waited until everyone else had left before she reported, "Lord Fang Heng."

"What is it?"

"It's about Mr. Mo. Three hours ago, Mr. Mo sent us a message saying that a batch of very important resources would soon be transported back to Hani City. He told us to take some people to pick them up and warned us to be careful."

"The Tianli Mercenary Group was already prepared to bring people to receive them, but they were captured by the City Lord of Hani City before they could set off. They were then locked up in the prison and lost contact with Mr. Mo."

As she spoke, Ma Xiaowan took out the map and pointed at the marked point on it.

Fang Heng went up to check.

The location circled on the map was in the central region of the Empire.

In order to save time, he and Mo Jiawei split up to carry out their plan.

Mo Jiawei went to collect the rare resources needed to create the enlightenment stone, and at the same time, he went to discuss with the various feudal lords of the Empire the order of constructing the mage tower.

Fang Heng felt that Mo Jiawei's hidden luck value was higher than others when it came to searching for resources on the map, so it was more suitable for him to go.

He did not expect that he would suddenly fall out with the Empire, and Mo Jiawei seemed to have entered the tiger's den…

Ma Xiaowan was a little worried and said in a deep voice, "Lord Fang Heng, we have already missed the time to meet up with Mr. Mo. I'm worried that Mr. Mo might be in danger."

"Mm, I got it. You continue to transport the supplies. The materials needed to build the Tier 2 ghost tower need to be sent to the Land of Plague immediately."

"Alright, I understand."

After watching Ma Xiaowan leave, Fang Heng opened the game log to check.

Mo Jiawei's name was still on the team, which meant that he was still part of the trial. He might be in danger, but it shouldn't be a big problem.

Upon closer inspection, Mo Jiawei and Ma Xiaowan's team had agreed to the rescue location in the central region of the Empire.

Coincidentally, he triggered the next stage of the mission after killing Sydney.

The mission only gave a general direction, and it could only be triggered accurately when one went to the mission location.

From that direction, the mission location also pointed to the central region of the Empire.

Fang Heng scratched his head.

Also, what's going on with Wei Tao?

It was about time for Wei Tao and the rest to meet up with him at the Land of Plague.

Why was there not even a shadow?

Was it delayed because of Tang Mo's matter?

Well, that was very likely.

After thinking for a while, Fang Heng still felt that the materials needed to build the ghost tower and the enlightenment stone at Mo Jiawei's side were more important.

Before the Empire's people attacked, he would look for Mo Jiawei and find a way to meet up with him.

As for Wei Tao and his friends, they might have just met with some trouble and were only temporarily delayed. With their abilities, they should be able to resolve it.

After making up his mind, Fang Heng was about to head to the meeting point in the middle of the Empire to look for Mo Jiawei when suddenly, several lines of game notifications appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The Holy Court has declared the Land of Plague to be one of the sources of the apocalypse.]

[Hint: Your friendliness with the major forces has changed (click here for more details) ]

Fang Heng's brows were tightly locked together as he muttered to himself, "Oh… The Holy Court…"

….

Outside the game, the disturbance in the Land of Plague of the barbarians' world had caused a storm in the intermediate game forums.

Of course, this was limited to the barbarian game world.

After entering the mid-tier game, the Federation's official forum was divided into dozens of game zones of various sizes.

The feudal lord of the Land of Plague was only a hot topic in the barbarian land forum.

The Imperial mausoleum was blown up, and Lord Fang Heng became a rebel force in the Empire!

After so many years, the human Empire had once again experienced a rebellion, and it was related to the sacred tree in the Land of Plague that had recently caught fire.

It just so happened that the barbarian race had just been defeated and had yet to retreat.

Anyone who received this news would make some connections.

What made the players feel like there was a problem was that several large guilds in the game chose to remain silent.

There was no news at all.

The silence seemed to suggest that they had come to an agreement.

Thus, the guilds in the game began to stir.

However, just as the operation began, a few hours after the news was sent out, the news of Hani City's fall spread throughout the entire Empire!

Who could it be?

After some investigation, some smart people began to wonder if the Land of Plague had any connection with the top ten guilds in the barbarian land. Even the Land of Plague and the sacred tree might have been created by these big guilds!

After all, Lord Fang Heng's identity was too strange. It was as if he had suddenly appeared out of thin air, and it was inevitable that he would arouse suspicion.

A small number of player guilds were still cautiously observing, but most of the player guilds could no longer sit still.

Who cares who Fang Heng was?

Could he defeat the Empire?

The player guilds, big and small, as well as the major alliance organizations, were gathering in secret. They either followed the feudal lords or took the initiative to form groups, preparing to deal with the Land of Plague together and looking for an opportunity to get a share of the loot.

At that moment, another bombshell was dropped, shocking countless players!

The Holy Court!

The Holy Court once again sent out a prophecy of the end of the world, pointing the spearhead at the Land of Plague, declaring that the Land of Plague was the beginning of a disaster and that only the power of the holy light could save the end.

The player forum was in an uproar again.

For a long time, the Holy Court had been very low-key in the barbarian land except for spreading all kinds of doomsday news. They had been suppressed by the royal family until they could not lift their heads.

But this time, the Holy Court was too strange, and they actually joined the crusade against the Land of Plague?

And they were even standing with the royal family?

What was the problem?

1222 The Pursuit

The sun was high in the sky.

In the middle of the Empire, Mo Jiawei was leading a team of players as they ran through the dense forest.

The trouble was that they still needed to escort the rare ores and materials along the way.

"Brothers, hold on a little longer. The entrance to the underground world is right in front of us. Those dogs won't be able to catch up."

Mo Jiawei waved his hand and tried to boost the morale of the team, but he could not help but curse in his heart.

Those troublesome feudal lords!

They were really dogs!

After the game prompted that the Land of Plague had fallen out with the Empire, Mo Jiawei was also implicated.

Lord Chadwick suddenly turned hostile and backstabbed Mo Jiawei, catching him off guard. They took over a large number of supplies that they had temporarily stored in Lincoln City, and even the raw materials for the enlightenment stone that they had just purchased not long ago were also deducted.

This was not the end. Lord Chadwick personally led his men to pursue Mo Jiawei.

He had been chasing them all the way until now!

Lord Chadwick's ancestors were known for their bravery and wariness. His ancestors had once conquered large areas of territory for the Empire.

Naturally, Chadwick was unwilling to give up such an opportunity to make his family famous again. He chased after them all the way until they entered a dense forest.

"My Lord, do we still need to continue chasing? They'll be leaving the territory soon."

"Chase!"

There was a bit of eagerness in Chadwick's eyes.

It had been a long time since he had enjoyed the thrill of chasing prey.

Previously, he had also invested in the construction of the mage tower.

He didn't expect that the Land of Plague would dare to openly oppose the Empire!

Ah…

Chadwick sneered in his heart.

This was also a good thing.

Once the treasonous enemy was taken down, his territory would not only be able to harvest a large number of ores and materials, but it could also restore the reputation of the Chadwick family!

Fang Heng?

The Land of Plague that has been spreading like wildfire in the Empire recently?

And not forgetting the sacred tree? It had resisted the barbarian invasion by itself.

But that was all! The rumors from the outside world could not be taken seriously!

Seeing Mo Jiawei's team being chased all the way, Chadwick's self-confidence was extremely inflated.

He might as well charge into the Land of Plague and take Fang Heng's head in one go!

While Chadwick was thinking excitedly, he suddenly frowned.

Eh?

What was the situation in front?

The frontline troops chasing the enemy suddenly slowed down their attack speed.

After a short period of silence, the team in front stopped moving forward and fell into great chaos.

Vaguely, Chadwick seemed to hear the screams from the front Army.

What was going on?

It seemed that there was no head-on battle with the enemy.

Could it be a trap?

"What's the situation?"

His assistant reported immediately, "Sir, please calm down. We need time to confirm the situation ahead."

Chadwick frowned and motioned for the team behind him to stop.

Looking around at the surrounding trees, Chadwick faintly smelled danger.

"Chi! Chi Chi Chi Chi!"

A faint sound came from the surrounding bushes.

"What is it?"

Chadwick reflexively looked to the right.

"Ah!"

Before Chadwick could see anything, suddenly, one of the Empire's soldiers in the team let out a shrill scream. He sat down, hugged his thigh, and screamed in pain.

"What?"

"What happened to him?"

"I don't know. It suddenly became like this…"

The Empire's soldier who screamed had a terrifying expression on his face. His body twitched uncontrollably and he covered his neck.

The surrounding soldiers had never seen such a strange scene before. For a moment, they subconsciously took a few steps back, not daring to get too close.

An adjutant came forward, squatted down, and forcefully pried away the soldier's hand that was covering his neck.

Upon closer inspection, the soldier's exposed neck was wriggling slightly.

It was as if something was wriggling under his skin.

The Empire's soldier's eyes were bleeding.

"Chi!"

The adjutant waved his dagger and cut through the soldier's outer skin.

Red blood seeped out of the wound.

Worm?!

The surrounding soldiers saw purple bugs in the wound!

With just a quick glance, the bugs followed his skin and spread deep into his body.

What was that?

The soldiers could only feel cold sweat breaking out on their backs.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, another shout rang out.

In just a short moment, the entire team was filled with screams.

Seeing the comrades around them fall in an extremely strange way, constantly letting out screams and wails, the morale of the entire team took a huge hit.

The army of 500 to 600 soldiers seemed to be cursed, and large groups of soldiers fell, stuck in place.

Chadwick was also panicking, and his face was slightly pale.

He turned to the accompanying bishop of the Holy Court Church and asked, "What's going on?"

"It's the evil curse of the undead. Everyone, retreat! Be careful to avoid the source of the curse!"

It was the first time Bishop Buno had encountered such a situation. He was a little flustered and immediately took out the Book of Creation to cast God's grace to save his team.

The golden holy light shone on the soldiers who were wailing in pain, but the holy light skill could only relieve the pain for a moment.

An even greater pain followed!

"Insects! Be careful, there are insects!"

In the chaos, an adjutant shouted.

He saw with his own eyes that purple maggots were crawling out of the dead soldiers' bodies!

"Be careful of your feet, there are bugs crawling on the ground! Those purple worms! Don't let them climb onto your bodies!"

Everyone turned pale with fright. After the prompt, they immediately came to a realization and looked at the muddy ground around them.

Chadwick also looked at the muddy road under the warhorse.

Upon closer inspection, he found that there were many purple maggots crawling quickly along the ground.

A soldier was unable to dodge in time and could only watch helplessly as a purple worm burrowed into his body through his feet.

"Save me! Save me!"

The party fell into even greater chaos!

In the wild, the surrounding weeds had already reached his calf, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the wandering insects in this environment.

A look of horror appeared on Chadwick's face.

What kind of insect was this? Why had he never seen them before?

The bishop of the Holy Court Church, Buno, had the same reaction as Chadwick. His face was filled with surprise, but more than that, he was at a loss.

When did the undead's curse power become so strong?

Why had it never been recorded in the records of the Holy Court?

Why did the holy light's dispelling and healing spells not work?

The deputy general saw that the situation was bad and immediately reported, "My Lord, this area is too strange. Let's retreat first."

Chadwick's expression changed a few times, and he suddenly had the intention to retreat in the face of such a strange enemy.

"Pass down my order, we won't pursue them. Retreat!"

"Chi, Chi Chi…!!"

Before the order was given, the entire forest in the area ahead started to make a rustling sound.

Following that, large groups of Lickers emerged from the forest and charged toward the Empire's feudal lords.

1223 Snatch it Back

Holy Court's Bishop Buno immediately shouted as soon as he saw the scene, "It's the undead! The ghouls! It's all the undead's doing!"

"Enemy attack! Get into formation! Retreat in an orderly manner!" Seeing this, the party's vice-general shouted and immediately drew his long sword, leading the party and covering their retreat.

The Lickers waved their sharp claws and charged into the Empire's army, using their flesh and blood to slow down the army.

Not far away, in a dense forest, Mo Jiawei finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Leaning against a big tree, he waved to Fang Heng who was next to him, "Mr. Fang, thank God you made it in time. If you came a little later, I guess I will only see you again after you leave the trial."

"It's not that bad, right? Your demon hunter bloodline isn't weak either," Fang Heng said as he looked up at Feudal Lord Chadwicke's team who was fighting with the Lickers in the distance.

The fusion Tyrant forms had been accumulating the parasitic worms for a long time, and now they were finally all released in one go.

Against normal human teams, these parasitic worms were finally useful again!

They crushed the enemy's morale in a wave of attacks!

The humans had not realized the Lickers' terrifying regenerative abilities yet and were still thinking about defeating them. They were currently building a defensive line to fight against them.

After being chased for a long time, Mo Jiawei had been holding back his anger. Now, he finally had the chance to vent, "Mr. Fang, you don't know this, but these people are damn annoying. I spent a lot of effort to get a large number of resources here, but they seized and detained them."

"Hehe, I, Mo Jiawei, have been playing games for so many years. I've always been the one snatching from others. This is the first time I've been robbed by someone else," Mo Jiawei spat on the ground and glared at the people who were fighting the Lickers in the distance.

"What happened? Why are you in such a terrible state?"

"This bunch of idiots played dirty."

Mo Jiawei finally had the chance to catch his breath and briefly explained to Fang Heng what had happened.

In the beginning, he did as he had discussed with Fang Heng. He went to the major cities of the Empire to collect the raw materials needed to make the enlightenment stone. While he was at it, he also went to a few feudal lords who were preparing to build a Tier 2 mage tower and discuss the relevant matters about doing so.

With his luck all this while, Mo Jiawei managed to trick a few feudal lords into providing him with the initial funds to purchase a large number of resources to produce enlightenment stones.

At that point, he had almost completed the task assigned by Fang Heng and was ready to return after agreeing on the delivery location of the goods with Tianli Mercenary.

He didn't expect that he would suddenly receive a game hint right after he left the city, telling him that Fang Heng completed the main task and triggered the hint guidance for the next stage of the main storyline.

Coincidentally, Mo Jiawei noticed that the main storyline's mission was located in the middle of the Empire, not far from them.

At that time, Mo Jiawei didn't think too much about it. He thought that Fang Heng had made another discovery. Seeing that the mission trigger location was not far away, he went over and prepared to trigger the mission first to see the situation.

After arriving at the designated location, Mo Jiawei's team found an abandoned mine occupied by a feudal lord of the Empire.

The location indicated by the game mission was deep in the mine.

However, the strange thing was that the mine was sealed off by Feudal Lord Chadwick.

He even found traces of the Holy Court in the mine area!

Although he had not triggered the mission yet, Mo Jiawei immediately felt that something was amiss when he saw the people from the Holy Court.

Therefore, on one hand, he asked someone to send a message to Fang Heng, and on the other hand, he planned to find a way to sneak in and check on the situation.

He had never expected that before he could even make a move, the game hint refreshed and told him about Fang Heng's sneak attack on the Empire's mausoleum.

Immediately after, the Empire's royal family issued an arrest warrant for Fang Heng.

The feudal lords' friendship status that had originally been "friendly" immediately became "dissatisfied" and "hostile". With that, the materials stored in the city were detained by Chadwick, and the feudal lord even chased after them.

Mo Jiawei sensed the danger and decided to go all out. He led the players to fight the Holy Court that was guarding the mine. They went deep into the sealed abandoned mine and walked around, discovering some strange ores.

Mo Jiawei suspected that the ores might be related to the main storyline. He had no choice but to escape with the ores and supplies he found in the abandoned mine. Then, he was chased and fought all the way until he finally met Fang Heng.

"Good job!"

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and patted Mo Jiawei's shoulder, "Don't worry. How dare they detain our goods? We'll take it all back with interest!"

Mo Jiawei's eyes lit up as he listened, "That's right! Get them all f*cking back!"

While speaking, Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the mining cart that the team had brought.

If not for the fact that they had to protect the ores, it wouldn't have been a problem for Mo Jiawei's team to escape.

After hearing that the mine was actually related to the Holy Court, Fang Heng became more interested and walked toward the ore cart.

"Be careful," Mo Jiawei reminded, "There's an infectious substance on the ore. Coming into contact with it after a long time will make one infected."

"Alright."

Fang Heng answered and walked to the cart. He lifted the black cloth covering the cart and grabbed a piece of gray-brown ore.

[Hint: You have discovered a high-concentration crystal ore (unpurified) (inferior raw ore) contaminated with an unknown aura.]

[Hint: You have identified the quality of the ore through the skill related to ore collection.]

[Hint: The ore can be further purified to improve the efficiency of the ore's energy usage.]

[Hint: You are lacking related skills. You cannot obtain more information from the ore.]

[Hint: The player has triggered a mission, the ore with an unknown aura]

[Mission name: The ore with an unknown aura]

[Mission difficulty: B]

[Mission requirement: Try to find more clues from the ore.]

[Hint: It has been detected that the player's current physique is special. You are immune to the influence of the small amounts of infectious aura.]

Hmm? Infectious aura?

Fang Heng scrutinized the ore in his hand.

According to Mo Jiawei, these ores were collected from the mine. Just to get them, they even fought with the Holy Court.

From this, it could be inferred that there was still a large amount of infectious aura inside the mine, right?

Was the source of the infection also a "demonic seed"?

Fang Heng pondered in his heart and raised his head to look at the battlefield not far away.

The troops led by Chadwick were originally his private army as a feudal lord, and they were not considered elites. Their formation had been messed up by the worm bodies in the beginning, and their morale thus plummeted. After that, when they fled, they encountered a group of Lickers, which left them with the sole choice of hurriedly fighting back.

Very quickly, they realized the strangeness of the Lickers.

The Lickers' vitality was too strong!

The soldiers cut down the Lickers again and again, cutting their bodies apart. However, the limbs of the latter would regenerate in the blink of an eye and they would charge forward again!

Very quickly, the soldiers who were assisting the convoy could not hold on any longer and their formation was broken by the Lickers!

The Lickers charged into the middle of the army and started a bloody massacre!

Seeing this, Chadwick could only escape in a panic with his men.

1224 The Sacred Tree Forest

"Tsk, they're lucky."

Seeing Feudal Lord Chadwick successfully retreat, Mo Jiawei's anger had not been fully vented yet.

"Should we give chase? Or should we go back and let Mr. Qiu study the ores I got? I'm guessing there's something fishy about the ores."

Fang Heng looked in the direction where Chadwick escaped and said frankly, "Chase!"

Since the materials needed to build the mage tower had been snatched, they couldn't just leave the matter hanging like this.

Moreover, the ores that Mo Jiawei had just discovered were a type of high-concentration crystal ore. They could be used as an energy source for the mage tower.

Ordinary people might not be able to mine due to the infectious substance on the ore, but he was different.

His zombie clones were more poisonous than those infectious substances.

If they could successfully occupy the mine area and mine it…

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

They still had time to occupy the mine with the zombie clones before the Empire came to their senses! While they were at it, they could take down the entire city as well!

Then, they would build a mage tower in the Empire and complete the teleportation passage!

Fang Heng thought about it and then raised his morale, "Let's go. I'll get revenge for you!"

…

"What? Hani City has fallen?!"

Not long ago, the royal guards had arrived at the Empire's city closest to Hani City through the teleportation passage.

With His Majesty's orders, Xiao Yun did not dare to delay, immediately leading the troops toward Hani City.

Unexpectedly, just as the team was halfway there, the griffins that were scouting ahead sent back news of the fall of Hani City.

Xiao Yun's expression changed.

When he accepted the mission, he had already regarded Fang Heng as the most dangerous enemy.

He didn't expect that he had still underestimated him!

To think the other party had taken down Hani City in such a short time… This was something that even the barbarians had never done!

The players who had followed the royal guards to deal with the Land of Plague also had different expressions on their faces.

How did he do it? In such a short time?

Everyone couldn't help but whisper among themselves.

Most of the players were from small guilds and teams in the game. They had received a mission from the Empire not long ago and had come to meet up with the royal guards, hoping to get some rewards.

He didn't expect to receive the bad news of Hani City being captured halfway.

In fact, most players lacked a basic understanding of the Land of Plague.

After all, the Land of Plague had risen too quickly, and many were only hearing this name for the first time.

"Fang Heng!"

Xiao Yun etched this name in his heart, and raised his hand to signal to his team, "Pass on my order! Everyone, accelerate! We must take advantage of the fact that the Land of Plague has just taken over Hani City and has yet to gain a firm foothold! We must take back Hani City!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Yun raised the morale of the troops and led them in the direction of Hani City.

However, after the team continued to move forward for about ten minutes, they stopped again.

The path ahead was blocked by a dense forest area.

The forest seemed very strange. Dense vines were twisted together, completely blocking the path ahead.

A forest area?

Xiao Yun raised his binoculars and looked into the distance.

At first glance, it was all green!

Xiao Yun frowned and looked further away.

It was still a large area of lush forest.

The forest seemed to be endless!

Xiao Yun's expression was strange. He took the map from his subordinate and compared it to the forest in front of him, his eyes flickering.

"What's with this forest? Why is it not shown on the map?"

The guides that had come with the troop also raised their binoculars and looked into the distance.

Looking at the large patch of green that was covered by the vines, the guides were also stunned.

"No, I walk this path every day. We can't possibly be on the wrong path."

"This is impossible. There was nothing here before. How could such a large forest area suddenly appear? Could it be…

"I've lived here for decades, but I've never seen this forest before."

"The sacred tree!"

"It must be a sacred tree. This is a miracle."

"The rumors about the Land of Plague are true."

The guides couldn't help but mutter to themselves.

"Lord Commander, the sacred trees have surrounded the entire forest. This…"

Not only the guides but the players at the back of the team were also shocked by this scene.

They had all heard of the Land of Plague's sacred tree.

According to the rumors, the Land of Plague had relied on the power of the sacred tree to destroy the barbarian race's army.

In the beginning, everyone held a skeptical attitude.

Nowadays, fake rumors were simply rampant, and it was too difficult to distinguish them.

Well, even if the Land of Plague could really resist the barbarians' attack, they were still too confident if they wanted to fight against the entire human Empire by themselves.

But now that they were looking at the forest covered by the sacred tree with their own eyes, the players finally realized the difficulty of this mission.

Seeing the chaos in the rear, Xiao Yun frowned, his heart trembling.

He had heard of the Land of Plague's giant-sized sacred tree before he came.

However, it was rumored that the sacred tree only existed in the Land of Plague.

They were still a long way from Hany city!

Since when did the sacred tree manage to spread and even reach here?

"Hmph!"

Even though his heart was filled with shock, on the surface, Xiao Yun forced himself to remain calm as if victory was already in his grasp.

He snorted coldly, raised the sword in his hand, and pointed it at the forest in front of him, "Simply mystifying things! Royal guards, hear my order! Step forward! Open the way!"

"Yes!"

The Empire's royal guards responded in unison.

The royal guards moved forward in formation and tried to force a path through the thorny forest with their sharp swords.

Woof!!

The tenacity of the vines was beyond the imagination of the royal guards.

The royal guards waved the refined steel swords in their hands and only managed to forcibly open a path in the dense forest by expending a lot of strength in cutting the vines along the way.

The team's atmosphere was a little heavy.

The players at the back of the team had ugly expressions on their faces.

Although the royal guards had temporarily opened up an opening in the forest, their efficiency was too low.

At this speed, the team would probably arrive at Hani City tomorrow.

The few players at the back exchanged glances.

They simply didn't dare to casually enter this strange forest.

"Chi… Chi, chi, chi…"

What was that sound?

Hearing the sudden noise, the players couldn't help but look up again at the forest entrance that had been cut open.

"Be careful!"

"What?"

"Behind! Vines! Be careful!"

The players shouted.

"Chi, chi, chi…"

All of a sudden, the forest seemed to sense intruders, and thin, new vines extended out from the dense forest!

"Retreat! Quickly retreat!"

Seeing the dense vines coming from all directions, the expressions of the royal guards who had entered the forest and were cutting through the thorns changed greatly. They immediately ran back and retreated from the forest area.

In just a short moment, the path that the royal guards had just painstakingly opened up was once again blocked by thorny vines.

The team fell silent again, leaving only the heavy breathing of the royal guards.

1225 A Huge Scheme?

Everyone's expression was grave.

They realized that they had been completely blocked by the forest in front of them.

The players somehow felt lucky.

Fortunately, they didn't go too deep in, or their team might have died inside.

"It's just a small trick!"

Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed and anger flashed past as he raised his right hand.

"Set fire!"

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The royal family's mages followed the order and released a series of fireballs into the forest. The royal guards also lit up flame arrows and fired them into the forest.

Heh, sacred tree?

As long as it was a tree, it would burn!

Xiao Yun's face was filled with hatred.

Since he couldn't go in, he would burn the entire forest and the so-called sacred tree!

"Chi! Chi, chi, chi!"

The fire entered the forest and burned the vines fiercely.

The flames were quite effective against the vines and slowly spread to the surroundings.

Everyone could feel the heat wave that was coming at them.

After a short while, the archers finished firing three consecutive waves of flame arrows and began to switch to ammunition.

Yet at this point, Xiao Yun's face once again darkened.

Why was this happening?

Once the mage and archers stopped their attacks, the flames only lasted for a short while before they slowly extinguished.

The situation of burning down the entire forest, which he had originally expected, did not happen.

"Chi, chi, chi…"

Upon closer inspection, the vines that had died from the burning were quickly covered with a layer of new branches and vines.

In just a few minutes, the forest had returned to its previous lush appearance.

The players were all shocked.

This forest was too strange!

How could this be? Was this forest really impassable?

They had come with such gusto, but now they couldn't even see the shadow of the enemy?

Was the sacred tree really that powerful?

Xiao Yun's face was ashen.

The royal guards were the elites among the elites of the royal family. Yet to think they were now blocked by a mere forest!

However, there was nothing he could do!

"Commander Xiao!"

In the sky, several elite soldiers of the Empire who were riding on griffins landed after circling for a while.

An elite soldier alighted from his griffin, kneeling on one knee as he reported to Xiao Yun, "Commander Xiao, we've just received news that Lincoln City has been attacked by the Land of Plague. Great General Deng Wen is currently moving to the closer Lincoln City to provide reinforcements.

Xiao Yun's eyes turned red and a hint of ruthlessness flashed past.

The players couldn't help but start discussing in low voices again.

What? Lincoln City?

Wasn't that the central region of the Empire? When did the Land of Plague run to that place?

They were simply too terrifying and too crazy.

It had only been a few hours, but the Land of Plague was not at a disadvantage against the powerful Empire at all. They even took the initiative to attack many places at once and attacked a central city of the Empire straight away?

One must know that such a city was different from a border city like Hani City.

Lincoln City was located in the middle of the Empire, which meant that the Empire's army could send reinforcements over faster through the teleportation passage!

Furthermore, without the protection of the sacred tree, how could the Land of Plague face the Empire's army head-on?

"My Lord, should we go to Lincoln City to provide assistance?"

Xiao Yun retracted his gaze from the guard and looked at the forest area in front of him. He said in a deep voice, "There's no need. Great General Deng Wen can handle it. We'll stay here and continue burning! I don't believe that we can't burn down this forest!"

"Yes!"

…

In the outside world, after hearing that the Land of Plague had attacked Lincoln City, the players immediately found some fun.

Regardless of whether they were prepared to participate or not, they all fanned the flames in the forums, clamoring to go to Lincoln City to help and earn the Empire's reward.

The players had already gotten a small portion of the reward when they helped the Empire deal with the barbarians.

The barbarians had just been defeated. Yet, before the Empire had time to catch its breath, it fell into civil strife and was fighting the mysterious Land of Plague.

The more chaotic, the better!

The fall of Hani City and the attack on Lincoln City had made Fang Heng a big problem to the royal family and the Empire's feudal lords. Not only did the royal family increase the mission rewards, but many Empire's feudal lords also came to assist with their private troops.

The more muddled the water was, the easier it was for the player to fish, and thus the more excited they were.

On the other hand, after learning about Fang Heng's sudden attack on Lincoln City, Ed's first reaction was puzzlement.

Huh? What did that mean? Why didn't he stay in the Land of Plague and instead went to the middle of the Empire to cause trouble?

Then, the few large-scale player teams that were working together with Ed analyzed the situation and came to a sudden realization.

It turned out that everything was Fang Heng's tactical intention!

It was too right!

It took Ed some time to understand the meaning behind Fang Heng's move.

Fang Heng was fighting for an opportunity for them to attack the capital of the Empire!

Right now, the entire continent, even the player forums, were filled with discussions related to Lincoln City. Everyone's attention had been drawn to that city!

This gave them an excellent opportunity to sneak into the royal family.

No one would care if the major player guilds were doing things in the dark!

Fang Heng alone helped them bear all the enemy's firepower and attention.

It was great to have such a teammate!

As expected, only a terrifying force like the Central Federation could make such an arrangement.

Since their teammates were strong, they couldn't make their efforts go to waste either.

Ed and the other player teams immediately came up with an ambush plan. Everything was ready, and they were only waiting for nightfall to attack the royal family! They would support Tang Mo!

On the other side, Wei Tao and Mikhael were stunned as they listened to the report from Ed. They felt as if they were in a dream.

What did he mean?

Blowing up the imperial mausoleum and attacking the Empire were all done by Fang Heng?

Was he really doing such risky things?

No way…

In just one night's time, he had come up with such a huge scheme?

It was just a trial mission. Was there a need to overthrow the entire Empire?

The main trial mission didn't have such a requirement, right?

Wasn't the commotion a little too big?

Previously, after meeting Fang Heng in the Imperial mausoleum and then separating, Wei Tao and Mikhael had originally followed Tang Mo's group back to his territory.

At first, the two were still confused. After some discussion, they were planning on going to the Land of Plague to check on Fang Heng's condition.

They didn't expect that just as they were about to set off, Ed and the others would come to urgently request an audience with his Highness Tang Mo.

Then Ed directly related the plan to help Tang Mo seize the throne.

When they heard the news, Wei Tao and Mikhael both thought that Ed had been duped by Fang Heng.

However, after listening to Ed's entire story…

After hearing that Fang Heng had accepted the inheritance of an alchemist, and made reliable teammates out of the cave-dwelling beasts and barbarians, while Ed had managed to convince the Mage Association and most of the player forces in the game to infiltrate the royal family…

The two revealed looks of disbelief.

1226 Attack and Occupy

They started to believe it as well.

So Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue had come up with such a big plan?

If they really succeeded, the entire structure of the barbarian game world would probably change greatly.

Wei Tao and Mikhael could feel that Ed and the others were absolutely serious!

A few huge game guilds in the barbarian game world had bet half of their assets on this!

They had no choice but to believe it!

When all the facts were placed before them, the hint of suspicion that Wei Tao and Mikhael had turned into admiration for Fang Heng.

After discussing with Ed again, Wei Tao nodded and said, "Alright. The plan is perfect and I have nothing to add. The only troublesome bit now is to persuade Tang Mo to inherit the royal family."

Ed, however, was prepared for this. He explained with confidence, "We already have a countermeasure for this matter."

"Oh? What is it?"

"The royal family has been secretly using the power of the enlightenment stone to carry out secret research. This research naturally cannot be exposed to the public. When the time comes, as long as we let Tang Mo witness and confirm Salvador's dirty deeds, with his character, he will definitely choose to kill the people who are plotting against the country. In addition, Tang Mo's concern for Tang Mingyue will cloud his judgment. When the time comes, I only need the cooperation of the two of you…"

"Are you sure there's no problem?"

"No need to worry," On the other side, the President Johanna of the player guild that had been expanding its influence in the royal family said in a deep voice, "When the time comes, we will support Tang Mo's succession and at that point, he can't possibly say no."

Ed continued, "I can guarantee that Tang Mo will not be an issue. Now I'm only worried about how long the length of Lord Fang Heng's attack on Lincoln City can last. After all, we need time to prepare. It's best to launch a surprise attack at night."

Everyone couldn't help but shift their gaze to Wei Tao.

"Uh…"

Wei Tao thought to himself, "I don't know either."

"Since it's feudal lord Fang Heng, he should…"

As they were talking, game hints flashed across Wei Tao and Mikhael's retinas.

[Hint: The team led by player Fang Heng has obtained the right to control the Empire's city, Lincoln City.]

[Hint: The Empire conquest mode cannot be triggered in the current trial environment.]

[Hint: The player team's friendship with the Empire has greatly decreased.]

Wei Tao couldn't help but hang his mouth.

He took a closer look at the game hints.

So… Lincoln City had also been successfully captured by Fang Heng?

"Mr. Wei Tao, you were saying if it was Feudal Lord Fang Heng?"

"Ahem, Wei Tao means that there will be no problems on Feudal Lord Fang Heng's side," When Mikhael saw the game hint, he coughed lightly, "Please believe in Feudal Lord Fang Heng's strength. I'm afraid he has already taken over the entire Lincoln City by now."

The excitement in Ed's eyes intensified.

"That's great. There's still a small problem I have to trouble the two of you with. We can't contact Her Highness Tang Mingyue for the time being. May I know if you have any way to contact Her Highness Mingyue?"

Wei Tao and Mikhael looked at each other and shook their heads.

They had tried riding griffins to the Land of Plague before, but the outskirts were covered by dense vines. The Empire's royal guards were also there, as well as the Empire's legions that were heading over. They could not stay for long and could only leave.

"Very well. Lord Fang Heng has other arrangements with Her Highness Mingyue. We'll take action tonight. I'll have to trouble the two of you to send a message to Lord Fang Heng and her Highness Mingyue."

Wei Tao felt bitter, thinking that it was just too difficult to contact Fang Heng.

In fact, he had only learned about his big shot teammate's big plan from the other party.

"Ahem," Mikhael cleared his throat again and said without blinking, "Okay, we will."

"Everyone, we will change the Empire tonight!" Ed looked at the crowd, his eyes shining with excitement, "The future is in our hands!"

…

In the Empire, under the call of the royal family and the various feudal lords, many feudal lord armies and player teams set out to support Lincoln City.

Fang Heng didn't know that he had now become a hot commodity in the eyes of the players. He was controlling the Lickers and the fusion Tyrant forms to attack Lincoln City.

Lincoln City was a city in the middle of the Empire.

For many years, it had been under the jurisdiction of Feudal Lord Chadwick, and the place was rich with ore resources. In addition, it was located in the middle of the Empire, so it could collect sums of taxes through trade. It was considered a relatively rich territory.

Since a few years ago, with the gradual emergence of strange movements in the depths of the ley lines, many new ore resource points had been discovered in the areas near Lincoln City.

Taking advantage of the time while attacking the city wall, Fang Heng learned some information about Lincoln City from the side.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Three fusion Tyrant forms strode forward with heavy steps, raising their huge fists and punching the wall.

"Boom!"

The city wall shook violently.

Every punch from the fusion Tyrant forms left a huge hole in the city wall.

The durability of the city wall had dropped by a large amount.

More Lickers scurried around under Fang Heng's control, looking for weak points to climb up the city wall and enter the Empire's army to start a massacre.

"Brothers, follow me! Since we have a grudge, we will take revenge!"

Seeing that the city wall had fallen into chaos, Mo Jiawei shouted and led the players who were participating in the trial to attack the city.

"Damn you, you ruffians!"

Seeing his soldiers fall one by one and die miserably under the claws of the ghouls, Feudal Lord Chadwick's eyes turned red. He waved his sword and sent a Licker flying!

He had already escaped just now! He even fled all the way back to Lincoln City! Yet, to think these people were still after him!

What he didn't expect even more was that the enemy's powerful siege units had appeared once more.

Undead flesh puppets!

Those large lifeforms covered in flesh and blood could cause great damage to the city walls, and they also had extremely powerful armor. Even high-tier spells could not deal effective damage to them!

"My Lord, we can't hold on any longer. Let's retreat first. The city wall is about to collapse. If we stay, I'm afraid…"

Chadwick clenched his fist, his face full of shame and anger.

The city could no longer resist the invasion of the undead!

As a feudal lord, his territory was now going to be occupied by the enemy and he had to flee in a panic…

He had failed the dignity of the Chadwick family!

"Feudal lord, let's retreat first. We still have a chance. The Empire's reinforcements are already coming. If we die here, we'll be finished."

Chadwick gritted his teeth and looked at the huge flesh puppets outside the city.

A figure stood on the shoulder of one of the flesh puppets.

It was all because of that person!

Suddenly, Chadwick's eyes twitched.

What was that?

Buzz…

In the distance, under the mask, a rotating alchemy magic array appeared in Fang Heng's pupils.

At the same time, phantoms of alchemy magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng's feet.

1227 Mission Guide

The earth shook, and dark green arms reached out from the rolling soil.

With the wails of the undead, zombies crawled out of the muddy ground one after another.

They wailed, stood up, and staggered toward the city wall.

The arrows from the guardian army's arrows on the city wall landed on the zombies, but they seemed to deal no damage. The zombies simply ignored the arrows and continued to walk forward.

A layer of cold sweat appeared on Chadwick's forehead, and his previous agitation gradually subsided. Instead, an unspeakable fear of the undead creatures rose in his heart.

"Retreat! Hurry up! Retreat! Let's give up on the city! Retreat!"

Soon, as the Empire's armies left, the battle on the city wall gradually stopped.

Mo Jiawei led the players up the city wall, drew a flag, and stuck it on the top of the city wall.

"Hehe, it's a piece of cake."

The accompanying players were unusually excited and couldn't help but laugh cheerfully.

"We won! Hahaha!"

"So this is the Empire's army? They're just laughable."

"Brother, you're a little too arrogant."

"This is so boring. They can't even take a beating. I wasn't even serious…"

In the elementary games, the players could not experience the thrill of attacking a city.

Following this, lines of game hints appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: Your zombie clones have been resurrected.]

[Hint: The player's team has obtained the control authority of Lincoln City.]

[Hint: The Empire conquest mode cannot be triggered in the current trial environment.]

[Hint: Your friendship with the various feudal lords of the Empire has changed.]

[Hint: Your friendship with the Empire has dropped greatly.]

[Hint: Your actions have incurred the displeasure of the Empire's feudal lords.]

[Hint: Many of the Empire feudal lords' armies and the Empire's direct army corps are sending reinforcements to Lincoln City (click here for more details).]

He had won.

Fang Heng looked at the game log message on his retina and heaved a sigh of relief.

It took more time than he had expected.

"The Lickers' attack power still needs to be improved. I'll have to wait. After this trial is over, I'll fuse the Lickers with the crystallized virus' attack power. At that time, the zombie clones' attack power will be improved."

While thinking, Fang Heng controlled the fusion Tyrant form under his feet and moved forward.

Fang Heng patted Mo Jiawei's shoulder after he leaped onto the city wall.

"Let's go and check the supplies."

"Alright!" Mo Jiawei looked excited and nodded his head heavily.

Very good, it was time for the stage of going through the spoils of war, which was what he loved the most.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Empire's follow-up reinforcements had not arrived yet, Fang Heng immediately closed the city gate after obtaining the control authority of Lincoln City. At the same time, he controlled the zombie clones to start repairing the city wall.

The remaining Lickers were split into two groups. One group would clear out the remaining Empire forces in the city, while the other group would head to the periphery of the city to investigate.

Without the protection of the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, Fang Heng didn't have much hope in maintaining his occupation of Lincoln City. He only wanted to seize the time and finish the mission before the enemy arrived. At the same time, he wanted to build a mage tower and teleport more supplies back.

Soon, under Mo Jiawei's lead, Fang Heng arrived at a half-abandoned mine in the periphery of the city.

Looking at the super-sized iron mine in front of him, a hint of surprise couldn't help but appear in Fang Heng's eyes.

Such a large mining area?

"Mr. Fang, I've asked around. This mine was discovered by the Empire about a year ago, and it's related to the abnormal activity in the depths of the ley lines. The feudal lord found a large number of high-concentration crystals in the mine."

Mo Jiawei was a little excited to see such a large area of high-concentration crystal mine belonging to them now.

"After Feudal Lord Chadwick discovered the mine, he ordered his men to mine, but soon, they encountered a big problem in the mining process and the mining was stopped by the Holy Court. I think it has something to do with infection. After that, this area was sealed off by the Empire, and all mining activities were stopped. When we first found this place, many believers of the Holy Court were standing guard nearby."

Fang Heng hummed in agreement and looked up at the iron mine's entrance.

After the city was taken down, a few Holy Court believers who did not manage to escape in time were captured by the players.

Upon seeing Fang Heng, the believers struggled and shouted again, "Evil necromancy mages! You will regret this! This mine has been occupied by the devil, and entering the mine without authority will bring destruction upon the whole world! You will bring disaster to mankind!"

Fang Heng remained unmoved and sized up the entrance of the mine from a distance.

On his retina, the trigger point of the mission target was pointing to the depths of the mine.

"Let's go, bring them along and we'll take a look."

Fang Heng controlled the accompanying zombie clones to hold shovels and pickaxes as they followed the players into the mine.

[Hint: You have entered a special area.]

[Hint: You have been affected by an unknown infection.]

[Hint: Due to your special physique, you are immune to the special infection effect.]

The entrance of the iron mine wasn't deep. A moment after Fang Heng entered, game hint warnings appeared on his retina.

Fang Heng followed the game hint arrow on his retina until he came to a rock wall.

The mission notification pointed to the depths of the rock wall.

Fang Heng reached out his hand and touched the rock wall.

The mine had a large output, and one could see with the naked eye that there were many raw stones embedded in the rock wall.

It seemed that the mission target was still deeper and needed to be excavated.

The few Holy Court members who were dragged into the cave became visibly nervous as they muttered prayers.

Mo Jiawei interrogated the people from the Holy Court, then explained, "Fang Heng, we've just interrogated some people in the nearby city, and what these believers said is not wrong. The Holy Court believes that this cave has been eroded by evil beings and that one's mind will be controlled if they stay in the cave for a long time."

"After that, Feudal Lord Chadwick ordered the mine to be sealed off, and the believers of the Holy Court spontaneously guarded the nearby area, preventing anyone from entering the mine. The people in the surrounding cities are also very wary of this place, so few come here."

As Mo Jiawei spoke, he took a glance at the iron mine and said carefully, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the "demonic seed"."

"Yes, the mission location is behind the rock wall. Let's retreat first and dig a passage to take a look."

While they were talking, the zombie clones behind them raised their shovels and pickaxes and began to dig at the rock wall.

Seeing Fang Heng excavating the mine by force, the believers of the Holy Court began to scream and struggle, trying to resist, but they were held down by the players.

Fang Heng waved his hand, signaling the players to leave the mine first. He then began to set up the production line.

"Hmm… I still have to find a way to get some mining carts over…" Fang Heng muttered to himself and continued to control the zombie clones to dig and transport the stones in batches.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has started to dig and has obtained a low-concentration energy crystal *1]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has started to dig and…]

1228 In a Hurry

The zombie clones could ignore the weak infection. Under Fang Heng's control, they excavated the high-concentration crystal ores, carrying them onto the mine cart and traveling back and forth in the iron mine to transport the materials.

The mission target seemed to be deep in the rock wall, and it would take some time to dig.

Soon, seeing that the production line was roughly laid out, Fang Heng no longer wasted time and left the iron mine.

Another player who had been waiting at the entrance walked up.

It was Zhou Yu.

He was the assistant that Wei Tao had brought into the game. He was also from the Federation. He had cooperated with Mo Jiawei in the operation earlier.

With all that they had just done, Zhou Yu now admired Fang Heng from the bottom of his heart.

He had just led the players to transport the materials detained by the Empire in batches and temporarily stored them in the open space outside the iron mine.

"World Lord Fang Heng, the city is now completely under our control. There are still a small number of players in the city, which is a little troublesome. To avoid any more trouble, we have restricted their movements and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving the city."

"Yes, that'll do."

"The construction materials that were previously detained by the feudal lord are still in the warehouse. However, it's very troublesome to transport them out in this situation. Many of the Empire's follow-up reinforcements are on the way, and we'll easily run into them. I've already had some of the materials transported here."

Zhou Yu said as he looked at the empty space around him.

He found it strange. Why did Fang Heng want to transfer the materials here?

"Oh… Good job."

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

They may seem to have easily taken down the city, but in fact, they only made use of the underground world's teleportation passage and the fact that the Empire's feudal lords underestimated their enemies to launch an ambush.

The news that they had taken over Lincoln City spread quickly.

A large number of the Empire's troops were already moving toward the city to provide support.

He had to hurry up.

"Hmm, send people to scout. I need to know the movements of the Empire around the city and report to me at all times."

"Alright," Zhou Yu nodded and looked back at the materials piled up nearby.

He asked, "What should we do with these materials?"

"Continue to transport them over."

Continue to transport them over? Was there enough space to store them here?

Zhou Yu was stunned.

Then, he saw the zombie clones behind Fang Heng moving forward shakily and starting to move materials on the spot.

Fang Heng began to control zombie clones to find a suitable place to build the mage tower.

Zhou Yu looked at the zombie team that was slowly moving and then at Fang Heng, his eyes filled with puzzlement.

Mo Jiawei patted Zhou Yu's shoulder and said, "Hey, don't worry, brother. Leave this to us. We're professionals in this aspect."

"O-okay."

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and waved his hand, leading the player team back to the city's warehouse to transport the materials.

On the other side, after finding the construction point, Fang Heng lowered his head, opened the game log, and remotely controlled the zombie clones in the Land of Plague.

More than half an hour ago, Tianli Mercenary had already transported most of the materials needed to level up the Tier 2 mage tower to the Land of Plague.

The zombie clones had already started to level up the Tier 2 mage tower.

At that time, as long as the two mage towers were completed at the same time, he could build a teleportation passage between the Land of Plague and Lincoln City!

The raw materials for creating enlightenment stones, materials for building mage towers, and even the energy crystal ores that had just been excavated, as well as the materials plundered from the city's warehouses could all be sent back to the Land of Plague!

Now, the only thing he lacked was time.

He needed to transport as many materials as possible before the Empire launched a large-scale attack!

He was racing against time!

By relying on the Lickers and the fusion Tyrant forms, it should not be a problem to hold off the Empire for a while and buy more time, though there was no hope of keeping Lincoln City.

Fang Heng had almost figured out the battle plan in his mind.

…

Two hours later, outside Lincoln City, Feudal Lord Chadwick returned with the remaining soldiers and met up with the two feudal lord legions of the Empire that had come to reinforce the city.

After a few tentative attacks, the three feudal lord armies chose to retreat temporarily, staying far away from the city wall. They set up camp not far from the city and waited for follow-up reinforcements.

The feudal lords did not expect that Lincoln City would fall so quickly.

Their armies had hurried over with light and simple equipment. They hadn't even prepared any siege weapons.

In such a situation, they were powerless against the towering city walls.

Once they got close to the city, the guards of the Land of Plague on the city wall would release arrows from a long distance. Accompanied by the harassment of the undead creatures that were simply immortal, it was too difficult to break through the city wall.

"Those are undead creatures from the Land of Plague. Only fire and Holy Light can completely purify them," The Holy Court's bishop, Buno, explained, "The undead are stronger at night, so we should attack the city before the night falls."

"Tsk, it's easy for you to say. Everyone knows that the undead are more powerful at night. Isn't it obvious that we can't beat them? If you're so great, then go ahead."

Some player teams had come along.

The players did not have a good impression of the Holy Court.

The power of the Holy Court in this world was relatively weak, so the players were not afraid of them. They began to discuss in low voices.

Anger rose in Chadwick's heart. He stared at the city in the distance, gritted his teeth, and said with hatred, "Heh, there's no hurry to attack. General Deng Wen will soon arrive with his army to provide reinforcements. Some feudal lords who are on good terms with me are on the way here too. I'd like to see how long those undead can last."

Bishop Buno of the Holy Court looked up at the city not far away and said with a worried expression, "You may not know this, but an ancient evil creature is sealed in the city. I'm worried that Feudal Lord Fang Heng of the Land of Plague has broken into the city for that evil creature. Once the seal is broken, the consequences will be unimaginable. In fact, we've already seen the prophecy of the end of the world in the Book of Oath. I'm afraid the appearance of the undead is a sign. Once he succeeds, the end of the world will come. The entire world will be threatened."

"Alright, bishop, we will stop the evil."

The players replied perfunctorily, not feeling much emotion.

Since a long time ago, the Holy Court had been spreading nonsense about the end of the world.

At first, some believed it, but as time passed, the Holy Court could not produce any valid evidence.

In addition to the suppression from the royal family, the influence of the Holy Court on the continent was getting lower and lower.

In the players' eyes, the so-called doomsday prophecy was a laughable scam of the Holy Court.

It was just that it was a little strange that the Holy Court suddenly stood with the Empire this time.

Seeing no reaction from the crowd, Bishop Buno could not help but sigh in his heart.

"Feudal Lord Chadwick, Lincoln City was originally your territory. Do you have any way to break through the defense of the city wall?"

1229 Tier-2 Mage Tower

After some thought, Chadwick's eyes suddenly lit up.

"There's an abandoned underground passage. We can sneak into the city from there."

Everyone looked at Chadwick in unison.

If they could avoid the city wall and sneak into the city to launch a sneak attack, the team would have more confidence.

"The passage has been abandoned for a while. We're not sure if it can still be used. We'll send people to take a look and see if we can clear the passage."

"Alright."

Seeing that everyone had reached an agreement, Chadwick immediately ordered his men to scout the entrance of the abandoned passage.

As the players watched the patrol leave their sight, they all noticed something and turned back to look in the direction of Lincoln City.

A thick black fog had risen from the center of Lincoln City.

The black fog slowly covered the sky, gradually enveloping the entire city.

Looking at the strange dark cloud, Bishop Buno's expression changed several times.

"It's the undead ghost fog. They might have broken some of the seals already. We need to speed up," Buno said, frowning as the uneasiness in his heart intensified.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the ominous ghost fog in the air. They couldn't help but look at each other.

It can't be, right? Could it be that what the people of the Holy Court said was true? Was there really a strange doomsday?

…

[Hint: The player has completed the construction of the Tier 2 ghost tower.]

[Hint: The player has completed the final stage reward mission – modify the ghost tower (Tier 2)]

[Hint: After exiting the trial, the construction time and consumption of the Tier 6 space-tearing device will be reduced by 97%. Additional 100% increase in the strength of the Tier-6 space tearing device].

The ghost tower outside of Lincoln City started to unleash black undead ghost fog as mental strength was slowly injected into the alchemy.

The mage class players sitting around the magic array also revealed excited expressions.

[Hint: The player has tried to open a teleportation passage to the mage tower.]

[Hint: In the current trial environment, the player will consume an additional 50% of the teleportation energy resources.]

[Hint: Under the current trial environment, the mage tower is unable to complete inter-region teleportation.]

Fang Heng gathered and condensed all the players' mental strength, then controlled space to open the teleportation passage.

Buzz…

The high-concentration energy crystals in the auxiliary alchemy magic array were quickly consumed, and a dark light suddenly appeared on the right side of the mage tower.

Buzz!

With the resonating sound of a spell, the space teleportation passage appeared in front of Fang Heng!

The passage was like a dark mirror, suspended in the middle of the second floor of the mage tower.

Everyone looked at Fang Heng.

Was it a success?

"Phew."

Fang Heng let out a deep breath and turned his head to the left.

"Thud, thud…"

Under Fang Heng's control, a zombie clone walked forward shakily and entered the teleportation passage.

A moment later, another ripple flashed across the teleportation mirror, and Sandy strode out.

"Hahaha! Fang Heng! I've got it! You definitely wouldn't have thought of it! The God of Art has enlightened me!"

Sandy was extremely excited. He shouted while waving Andrast's autobiography that he found in the royal family's mausoleum not long ago, showing off his research results to Fang Heng.

Soon after, Tang Mingyue and Warren also walked out of the teleportation passage one after another.

Warren looked at the teleportation passage before him, his eyes filled with excitement and praise.

He had spent hundreds of years but failed to accomplish it, but Fang Heng had done it in just half a day!

Fang Heng was the most suitable candidate for the Saint's inheritance! There was no other!

Sandy was still making a fuss. He walked to Fang Heng's side and took out the map that he always carried with him, "Mr. Fang, let me tell you. After my inspection and calculation, I have a new discovery! In fact, there isn't only one entrance to the endless abyss where the abyssal demon was sealed! Hmm… To be more precise, the endless abyss is deep in the underground world. There are more than a dozen entrances and exits connected to the endless abyss on the surface, but most of the passages can't be used by humans."

"Back then, the Empire and the Saint had set up two layers of seals. The first layer was set at the entrance to the endless abyss, and the second layer was set at the various entrances leading to the endless abyss. The seals are linked with each other and affect each other. There is actually an entrance and seal that connects to the endless abyss in the depths of the royal family's mausoleum that was previously destroyed. It's just that we can't pass through that passage."

Mo Jiawei could not help but ask, "Brother, after saying so much, have you found the entrance to the passage?"

"Hehe, of course. Who am I?" Sandy proudly snorted and stretched out his hand to draw a large circle in the central region of the Empire's map, "I've investigated and found out that the exact location of the endless abyss is in the central region of the Empire. According to this deduction, the entrance on the surface should also be nearby. Look, it should be around these two cities. As long as we spend some time searching, we'll definitely be able to find traces of it…"

Everyone came over to check the map.

Fang Heng also lowered his head to look at the map.

Hmm?

Looking at the location indicated on the map, Fang Heng's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He turned around and exchanged a glance with Mo Jiawei.

What a coincidence. Lincoln City was one of the two cities that Sandy had marked out.

Mo Jiawei could not help but gulp.

It couldn't be such a coincidence, right?

He sensed something and looked at Fang Heng, asking, "Fang Heng, could it be that the entrance to the endless abyss just happens to be in Lincoln City?"

"What?" Sandy was stunned when he heard that.

He looked at the surroundings of the mage tower in confusion and asked, "We're in Lincoln City now?"

"Yes, I think the entrance to the abyss should be in the iron mine we just found."

Fang Heng looked at the others and nodded heavily.

This was no coincidence.

Excluding the small contribution of Mo Jiawei's luck, the main reason why they had taken over Lincoln City was that they had followed the location given by the mission guide.

It was very likely that the trial mission's hints pointed to the entrance of the endless abyss!

"Ah, could it really be…"

Mo Jiawei was also a little excited.

"Then, then what do we do now?"

Things were going unexpectedly well. Mo Jiawei was a little lost for a moment.

If the iron mine was really the entrance to the endless abyss, they were not ready for the final battle yet.

"There's no hurry," Fang Heng said, "Let's take it one step at a time. First, we'll act according to the plan and confirm if there's a passage in the mine."

Mo Jiawei nodded, "Okay, sure."

Now that they had the teleportation passage, they needed to speed up.

As Fang Heng thought about it, he turned around and faced the teleportation passage, controlling the zombie clones that were originally in the Land of Plague to enter Lincoln City through the passage.

The zombies lined up and walked out of the passage, picked up their pickaxes, and joined in the mining work.

Looking at the zombie clones that kept emerging from the passage, the other players carefully stepped back and made a path for them.

After all, the zombies were the greatest productive force.

1230 The Entrance

Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones for some time and suddenly thought of something. He turned to Tang Mingyue and asked, "Oh right, where's Wei Tao and the others? Why didn't I see them? Did they not go to the Land of Plague?"

Wei Tao?

Tang Mingyue blinked and shook her head, "No, I haven't seen Wei Tao and the others since we split ways. They didn't come back to the Land of Plague either."

"That's strange."

Fang Heng scratched his head and felt that something was not right.

In theory, Wei Tao should have immediately headed to the Land of Plague to meet up with them.

Did something happen on the way? Did he miss something?

"What about Ed? No news from Ed?"

"No, I thought they were in contact with you alone."

"Forget it, they should have a plan."

Fang Heng waved his hand and stopped thinking about it. He continued to concentrate on controlling the zombie clones to speed up the mining.

Wei Tao and the others were all experienced World Lords. They were not weak. They were most likely with Tang Mo and might have triggered other mission line.

Just as he was concentrating on controlling the zombies, another game hint appeared on his retina.

[Hint: Your zombie clones have found a hidden cave while digging.]

[Hint: Mission – The ore with an unknown aura has changed. The next stage of the mission has been triggered.]

[Mission name: Explore the cave]

[Mission difficulty: D]

[Mission description: While excavating the infected ores, you have discovered a hidden cave.]

[Mission requirement: Attempt to search the cave.]

Fang Heng's eyes lit up and he looked at the others, "The mission has been triggered. Let's go and take a look."

…

In the mine outside the ghost tower, the undead ghost fog shrouded the surroundings.

Zombie clones kept coming and going, transporting the excavated high-grade energy crystal ores back to the mage tower.

Fang Heng and his team entered the iron mine.

The zombie clones dug about 20 meters forward in the direction of the mission guide, revealing a large stone chamber.

"Let's go in and take a look."

Fang Heng took the lead and stepped into the stone chamber while saying that, looking around.

There was an alchemy magic array on the ground near the center of the stone chamber.

A black aura that was visible to the naked eye was seeping out of the magic array.

Fang Heng felt a slight shake from the ground, and everyone couldn't help but be vigilant.

Sandy stood at the door and watched carefully. He muttered to himself, "It's a little similar, Fang Heng. It's very similar to the seal of the abyss I saw in Andrast's autobiography."

Warren nodded at everyone and carefully walked to the edge of the alchemy array. He squatted and inspected it for a moment.

"Yes, Mr. Sandy's previous judgment was not wrong. This is indeed the remains of the abyssal sealing magic array. This should be one of the passages leading to the underground abyss. The seal at the entrance is used to seal off auras," Warren said as he looked around.

"This place was once completely sealed off. Probably due to the effects of the ley lines' abnormal movement a few years ago, the rock mine was discovered by the outside world. During the excavation process, someone was affected by the leaked plague aura, and the iron mine was thus completely sealed off by the feudal lord."

Warren lowered his head and continued to check the magic array. He reached out and tapped on the magic array a few times.

"Chi! Chi, chi!"

The moment his finger came into contact with the alchemy magic array, a thick black aura seeped out of the magic array.

"What's this aura?" Tang Mingyue frowned and asked.

"It's the plague aura. The abyssal demon's arrival is usually accompanied by a boundless plague aura. A long time ago, this plague swept across the continent, causing a large number of lives to be lost. The plague aura is also slightly corrosive. As time passed and the sun and moon rotated, the seal was greatly affected. What we're seeing now is the outer seal. After opening the seal, there will be a passage leading to the bottom. If we explore along the bottom, we should be able to find the true location of the abyssal demon."

Hearing that, the others couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Fang Heng.

Now, they had found the location of the abyssal demon. Should they go down and take a look?

"Everyone, I don't suggest that we break the magic array and explore further now. Judging from the signs of erosion on the outer seal, the condition of the inner seal should be even worse. It's extremely dangerous to open the seal rashly and enter the abyss to investigate," Warren analyzed with a grave expression.

As he spoke, a game hint flashed across everyone's vision.

[Hint: The player team has found the relevant clues according to the trial hints and has triggered the final stage of the trial mission – explore the sealed land of the abyss]

[Mission name: Explore the sealed land of the abyss]

[Mission difficulty: SSS]

[Mission description: You have found the place where the abyssal demon was sealed. Please try to search the sealed land.]

[Mission requirement: Search]

[Mission reward: ???]

"Hmm…"

Looking at the game mission hints, Fang Heng couldn't help but ponder.

Just as he had predicted, the final goal of the trial was to deal with the abyssal demon.

It was extremely difficult.

At present, only two Tier 2 ghost towers had been built, and his ultimate skill, Everlasting Moon, was also on cooldown. Qiu Yaokang had not yet developed a special medicine to deal with the abyssal demon either.

Other than that, the enlightenment stone replica was still in the process of being made, and the sacred tree was still a long way from completing its current level-up.

There was also the aggressive Empire outside.

It was too risky to open the seal and explore without any preparation.

Even if they did find the abyssal demon, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat it.

As such, it was better to play it safe and strengthen the seal first to buy themselves some time. They had to make sure that the abyssal demon wouldn't break through the seal any time soon.

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and immediately nodded in response, "Mr. Warren is right. It's too dangerous to open the seal and go down to investigate before we're fully prepared. Is there any way to strengthen the seal?"

"Yes, I can try."

Warren nodded and placed both his hands on the alchemy magic array.

The alchemy magic array was activated again, and it emitted a faint light.

Warren was trying to repair the corroded magic array when Wei Tao's team assistant, Zhou Yu, hurriedly entered the room.

"Mr. Fang, you're all here. The situation outside isn't good. The Empire's General Deng Wen brought a large number of elite soldiers and is approaching the outskirts of Lincoln City. I've scouted with my men, and the enemies are all elites. They're well-equipped, powerful, and are in large numbers."

As they were talking, there was a commotion outside the mine.

Another player ran in hurriedly. When he saw the crowd, he said anxiously, "Brothers, the warehouse has been sneak attacked. A few of the Empire's teams have sneaked into the city by bypassing the city walls and are heading toward the City Lord's mansion."

"Mr. Fang, what should we do?"

Fang Heng lowered his head and estimated the time. He then raised his head and said, "It's fine. Don't worry about them. Call our people and retreat immediately."

It was almost time.

The construction materials for the Tier 2 mage tower and the materials for the enlightenment stone replica had all been sent back to the Land of Plague. Even the materials that had been piled up in the city's military warehouse and the City Lord's personal warehouse had been moved away by the zombie clones.

1231 Run

Fang Heng's zombie clones looted the entire city, and the only valuable thing left was the iron mine.

There was still a large amount of high-concentration energy crystal ore resources left in the iron mine, and it was impossible to mine all of them in a short time.

There was no need to go against the Empire for these ores. They had to think of a way to leave first.

Sandy blinked his eyes and asked in confusion, "Huh? We're leaving just like this? What about the sealing magic array? What do we do about it?"

The players couldn't help but look at Fang Heng.

The sealed area was extremely dangerous. If they left it here, what would they do if the sealing magic array was accidentally broken?

Fang Heng understood everyone's concern and shrugged his shoulders.

"We don't have time to worry about that. I believe our luck isn't that bad either. The Empire has been living in peace with the seal for hundreds of years, and the Holy Court is also involved. They won't want to see the abyssal demon escape the seal."

Mo Jiawei thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Who cares, let's run first!

"Mm, our people will leave first. Leave the ghost tower behind, it will be useful in the future."

While speaking, Fang Heng immediately began to control the zombie clones to transport the last wave of ores.

The players also started to move, informing each other to evacuate.

By the time Warren had mostly repaired the alchemy magic array and Fang Heng was about to leave with him, several lines of game hints suddenly appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player team has triggered a special party mission – the secret of the royal family]

[Mission name: The secret of the royal family]

[Mission difficulty: SS]

[Mission requirements: You have found some clues and believe that the royal family seems to be secretly controlled by someone to conduct some unknown research. Please lead Tang Mo to dig deep into the royal family.]

[Mission target: Enter the royal family and thoroughly explore the royal family's secret underground palace research area.]

[Mission reward: Next stage of the mission]

[Hint: This mission is not a trial mission. In the trial state, other than special rewards, the other rewards will be replaced with favorable trial evaluation and additional trial time.]

Hmm? A mission?

Seeing the game hint that suddenly appeared, everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Was it a mission triggered by Wei Tao?

Fang Heng frowned.

So it turned out Wei Tao didn't head to the Land of Plague to meet up because he was actually doing a mission?

It seemed that he was also a guy who was unwilling to be outdone…

Tang Mingyue was also quite surprised to see the mission hint. She couldn't help but turn to look at Fang Heng, "Fang Heng?"

"Hmm, let's go. We'll head to Atama and meet up with Wei Tao."

…

The capital of the Empire, Atama.

The sky gradually darkened.

The guards responsible for guarding the inner region of the Empire's Imperial City began to change shifts.

In the darkness, Wei Tao's team was hiding.

Wei Tao and the others quickly exchanged glances.

Finally, everyone's eyes fell on Tang Mo.

"Your Highness."

Tang Mo's expression was grave.

He had heard some rumors a long time ago.

Salvador had been secretly controlling the royal family, and he had been conducting some secret research on the demonic seed in the royal family, trying to control its power.

For this, Salvador even used a large number of Empire soldiers to conduct human experiments, sacrificing many lives.

In the past, he didn't really believe in such things, until not long ago, when Wei Tao placed pieces of evidence in front of him.

Tang Mo's sharp eyes looked around the crowd and he said in a deep voice, "Do you all know what you're doing? This is treason!"

"Your Highness, we've done a thorough investigation, and we have concrete evidence. I'm afraid that your grandfather has also been bewitched by the demonic seed and is being manipulated by Salvador in secret. Her Highness Mingyue is wanted by the Empire because she discovered Salvador's secret…"

"Shut up!" Tang Mo's expression changed a few times when he heard Tang Mingyue's name and he abruptly raised his hand.

He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly as if he had made up his mind.

"The evidence on paper can be forged. I want to see it with my own eyes. If it's really as you say, I will make Salvador pay. But if I find out that you're lying to me…"

"We'll be at your disposal, Your Highness!" Wei Tao's expression turned serious and he said in a low voice, "Your Highness! For the legacy and glory of the Empire."

Ed and the other players were greatly relieved when they heard Tang Mo's words.

The last problem was finally solved.

Ed perked up and turned to look at the others.

"Everyone, Feudal Lord Fang Heng is now in Lincoln City fighting with the Empire's General Deng Wen. The royal guards have also suffered a setback in the Land of Plague. Now is the time when the internal defense of the Empire is at its weakest. This is our best and only chance."

Wei Tao clenched his fists and took a deep breath. He lowered his voice and said, "We must win in one strike. We must take down the royal family as quickly as possible!"

Tonight, the top 10 game guilds and elite teams of the barbarian world were all gathered here. All of them were the elites of the game.

Mikhael also took a deep breath, and his eyes showed a rare excitement. He made a "ready" gesture to Ed.

"Go! Just follow us!"

Ed waved his hand and led the players to reveal themselves from the dark, dashing towards the entrance of the royal family's inner city.

Just as Wei Tao and Mikhael were about to follow when another game hint suddenly flashed on their retinas.

[Hint: The player team has found relevant clues according to the trial and has triggered the final stage of the trial mission – explore the sealed land of the abyss.]

Ha? What was going on?

The two were stunned when they saw the game hint and stopped in their tracks.

A mission was triggered? And it was the main storyline?

Something didn't seem right…

Mikhael and Wei Tao looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubts.

What was going on? Why did the final stage mission suddenly appear?

Shouldn't Fang Heng be in Lincoln City fighting with the Empire now?

"Hurry up! Keep up!"

Ed saw that Wei Tao and the others were a few steps slower. He could not help but frown and waved his hand at the two from a distance.

Wei Tao felt that there seemed to be a small problem with their plan.

But now that the arrow had been nocked, it had no choice but to be released. He immediately stopped thinking and whispered to Mikhael, "Let's go, we'll follow!"

Although the players had been developing in the game for many years, they had very little infiltration in the Imperial City.

This time, the players were staking everything on one throw. They used all sorts of methods in advance and arranged for most of the players to guard the western inner city gate at all costs.

To ensure that nothing went wrong, President Johanna of the White Prison Player Guild had even used up the Empire merit points that she had accumulated over the years to apply for a transfer to become the squadron leader of the inner city's west gate. She would be in charge of the west gate's defense.

Everything was under the players' control.

After a slight commotion, Ed and his men easily took control of the dozen or so NPC guards who had not defected and occupied the western entrance of the Imperial City.

1232 Hidden

Tang Mo followed the team.

Initially, he had been skeptical about Salvador's secret research on the demonic seed in the Imperial City.

Now, he was even more surprised that Ed and his men could bribe the royal family guards and even control the western entrance of the city.

Had the Empire's royal family already been infiltrated to this extent?

The players tried to take all details into account and those at the entrance were already prepared. They immediately cupped their hands at Tang Mo, "The royal family has been controlled by a villain. We are willing to pledge our loyalty to His Highness Tang Mo! We will reveal Salvador's true colors!"

Tang Mo frowned when he heard this and looked at Wei Tao, who was following closely behind.

Without waiting for Wei Tao to speak, Ed said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, this is the people's will. The guards know about Salvador's dirty deeds in the dark, so they don't dare to show any dissatisfaction since they are usually threatened. Now that Your Highness is here, the guards are naturally willing to go through fire and water for Your Highness."

"Okay," Tang Mo nodded solemnly, temporarily putting aside the doubts in his heart.

"Let's go!"

In the dark night, Johanna's team met up with Ed's team and continued to move toward the Hall of Divine Martial Arts on the right of the Imperial City's inner city.

After combining all the information he had obtained from Yu Ruichen and his brother of the Alchemy Society, Ed was very sure that there was a huge secret hidden in the lower level of the Hall of Divine Martial Arts!

This secret was related to the "demonic seed"!

In fact, similar rumors had been spreading among the large-sized guilds for a long time. However, the difficulty of the related missions was extremely high, and they even involved the Empire's royal family. With the strength of just one player guild, it was impossible to explore further.

Only this time, with the help of the Saint's inheritance, the influence of the Land of Plague's Feudal Lord Fang Heng, as well as the influence of Tang Mingyue and Tang Mo, were the major game forces united.

In the blink of an eye, Ed led his team and sneaked into the outer perimeter of the Hall of Divine Martial Arts.

"Who is it?"

Outside the main hall, the guard standing at the entrance saw a group of suspicious people suddenly appear and was instantly shocked. He immediately shouted, "Who is it?"

Chi!

A long sword streaked across his eyes.

The guard was surprised to find that the attack was actually from his teammate next to him.

"Have you gone mad!?"

"Go! Don't let them trigger the alarm!"

Seeing this, Ed shouted and led his team toward the direction of the hall!

At the same time, a mission hint appeared on the players' retinas.

[Hint: The player team has triggered a mission – the secrets of the royal family]

Seeing the game hint, Ed was relieved.

Their judgment was not wrong! This was a sure win!

The player party immediately swarmed forward!

Before they came, the players had already made thorough arrangements and figured out the defenses of the entire Hall of Divine Martial Arts as well as the surrounding areas. They immediately intercepted the guards who wanted to sound the alarm.

The guards in the Imperial City did not expect that their teammates would suddenly turn against them!

In less than five minutes, the Hall of Divine Martial Arts area was easily controlled by the players.

The people Tang Mo brought didn't join the battle and just stood to the side.

After the battle was over, Tang Mo followed them into the main hall of the Hall of Divine Martial Arts.

After looking around and seeing nothing unusual, Tang Mo looked at Ed and asked in a deep voice, "Where's the evidence I wanted?"

"Your Highness, please step back. I'll demonstrate it to you immediately."

Yu Ruilin walked out of the crowd under everyone's gaze until he reached an unremarkable corner at the edge of the hall.

There were red circular decorations on the wall.

Yu Ruilin found one of the discs. He injected his mental strength into it and gently twisted it.

"Crack, crack, crack…"

The machinery fused with an alchemy magic array was triggered, and the sound of mechanical gears turning rang in the hall.

The floor at the front of the hall slowly lifted, revealing a wide passage leading down.

Seeing that the mechanism was successfully activated, Yu Ruilin nodded in his heart and turned around to explain to the crowd.

"I once assisted in transporting the enlightenment stone replica in the Alchemy Society. When no one was paying attention, I secretly memorized the way to open the secret passage. The Empire's security of the underground palace is very tight. I wasn't allowed to enter the underground palace, so I don't know the specific situation below. However, I've heard some news from the Alchemy Society. Salvador is using the enlightenment stone replica to conduct some live sample experiments on the "demonic seed" in the underground palace. The Empire military sends people, and the experiment has entered the second stage, which is very dangerous."

After saying that, Yu Ruilin stepped back.

Tang Mo's expression changed slightly as he walked forward to look at the entrance of the underground palace.

This was the first time he had heard that there was an underground palace in the royal family.

Apart from the current Empire's Emperor Salvador, Tang Mo couldn't think of anyone else who could build such a huge underground palace here.

"Let's go in and see. I want to see the evidence with my own eyes!"

"The patrol team that passes by the Hall of Divine Martial Arts at night will patrol once every ten minutes. Our people who are disguised as guards outside will be easily discovered. Act quickly." As she said that, Johanna looked at everyone. "Team two, stay here. If there are any special circumstances, go offline and report it. The rest of you will follow the team into the underground palace to explore."

"Understood!"

…

Lincoln City.

Lord Chadwick and the player teams successfully infiltrated the city through the entrance of the abandoned canal.

The journey was unexpectedly smooth. After the team entered the city, they encountered a small group of resistance. After easily dealing with the resistance, they successfully took control of the City Lord's mansion and rescued the surrendered soldiers who were locked up in the dungeon of the City Lord's mansion.

Then, they led the soldiers back to the main city's entrance and opened the gate to welcome the reinforcement team outside the city.

Outside the city, the Empire's General Deng Wen had just arrived with the Empire's main forces and was still preparing to set up the siege weapons.

When they saw the city gate open, they immediately launched an attack and successfully took back Lincoln City.

Chadwick also met up with the Empire's General Deng Wen, as well as the other suzerains who had come to support him.

Although the city had been reclaimed as his territory, Chadwick felt an indescribable strangeness in his heart.

This was too strange!

Other than some weak resistance at the start, they only encountered a few sporadic Lickers during the entire ambush. They did not encounter any decent teams at all.

They had not seen the terrifying undead flesh puppets and strange worms from before either.

Chadwick couldn't help but be suspicious.

Where were the enemies? Why had they suddenly disappeared? Could it be a trap? Could it be that they were perhaps hiding in a corner of the city and preparing to launch a surprise attack?

"Reporting!" A soldier of the Empire hurried over and reported, "Commander, the city has been searched thoroughly. We didn't find any enemies in the city."

Chadwick became increasingly uneasy as he listened, and hurriedly asked, "You can't find them? Have you guys truly done it meticulously?"
