1425 Frost Hell
"Fang Heng, give me three hours. We'll go back and prepare immediately. At four o'clock in the afternoon, I'll bring the first batch of people to start the field training. As long as we make a name for ourselves and confirm that the training is really effective in breaking through bottlenecks, more and more people will beg us to sign up."
Fang Heng was stunned when he heard this, and he could not help but sigh in his heart.
As expected, the clan talents nurtured by the Chambers of Commerce were indeed different.
Not only did he not need to spend money to hire people, but he could also earn a sum of experience fees from the students of the Necromancer Association.
"Okay, I'll let you do the arrangements. I'll come to the Chambers of Commerce at 3.30 pm in the afternoon to find you."
"Leave it to me."
After the cooperation plan was finalized, everyone set off immediately.
Halfway through, Fang Heng and Elisa discussed the details for a long time. After everyone returned to Catantul, they split up.
There were still two more hours left, so Fang Heng planned to go to the cultivation field and rent a few training rooms for zombie clones.
Due to many restrictions when entering the city, Fang Heng could only bring one zombie clone into the city as a 'companion' at a time.
Just as he was leading more than ten zombie clones into the city and rushing to the cultivation field, Fang Heng heard someone calling his name from behind.
"World Lord Fang Heng."
Fang Heng turned around and saw that it was Kou Ming, a member of the Federation's team.
Kou Ming waved his hand as he walked toward Fang Heng.
He had been looking for Fang Heng for a long time. He had just heard that someone had seen Fang Heng near the training ground, so he hurried over to look for him.
Fang Heng looked at his anxious expression and asked casually with a smile, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is there news about the brilliant crystal? Found a way to get it?"
"Not yet."
Kou Ming walked forward and smiled bitterly in his heart. It wasn't that simple.
The brilliant crystal was a rare item, but Fang Heng made it seem as easy as buying cabbage.
Kou Ming took a deep breath and said, "World Lord Fang Heng, we have sorted out the information we have. The Undead City Lord of the Frost Fortress in the Northern District's Frost Hell has a Tier 7 crystal."
Wasn't this it?
"Cough cough…Cough cough…"
Hearing Fang Heng's words, Kou Ming choked and covered his mouth, coughing non-stop.
He took a long time to recover and explained, "No, World Lord Fang Heng, that's not what I meant. We're not going to kill the City Lord."
"Oh." Fang Heng understood and replied, "Not kill. You mean there's a mission for the Undead City Lord?"
"Yes, I think so. It's said that there is a place outside the Frost Fortress in the extreme north. It is called the Frost Hell. The Frost Hell has a powerful King spirit system life form. It used to be a place where the necromancers train their souls. Later, something happened and that area was sealed off."
"The Frost Hell will open once a month. If we can go to the Frost Hell to kill creatures or find a way to complete the mission entrusted by the Undead City Lord in the Frost Fortress and accumulate a certain amount of contribution points, the Undead City Lord will give us the corresponding brilliant crystals as a reward."
Fang Heng finally understood and could not help but ask, "Is the difficulty of the Frost Hell very high?"
"Yes, there are a lot of elite and BOSS-level creatures in Frost Hell. The creatures have the undead and frost attributes, and their attacks also have soul attack effects. They are a little difficult to deal with."
"Also, the northern Frost Hell is extremely cold. We can only enter the outer area of Frost Hell through the nearest teleportation passage. We might also meet trouble along the way. In addition to the abnormal weather and the influence of the undead storm, we still need to prepare a lot of supplies in advance."
"Although that place opens once a month, we didn't get much in the past few times. It's a pity that there are too few places that produce brilliant crystals. We also do not want to give up this time."
"This time?" Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "When?"
Kou Ming heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Fang Heng's interest and said, "The entrance to the Frost Hell will officially open at night three days later. We also need to prepare a day in advance. We'll set off in the afternoon three days later at the latest."
Fang Heng calculated. The timing was fine. He could go over and take a look at the situation. In an ideal situation, it would be best if he could get a purple brilliant crystal.
"Alright, I'll join. I have something else to do now. You guys can arrange the details first."
Kou Ming was excited.
"That's great. I'll go tell the captain now. With you around, we can do something big. This time, we should be able to get some high-level crystals."
"Alright, go ahead."
Fang Heng thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Kou Ming, who was about to leave, and asked, "Wait, do you still have the dust of evil thoughts on you?"
Kou Ming was stunned as he uttered, "Huh?"
"Lend me some, I need it urgently."
Kou Ming had a bitter expression, "World Lord Fang Heng, this thing is not easy to get. Our team is still lacking a lot of dust of evil thoughts and invitation cards…"
"It's urgent. Consider it a loan. I'll do some business and return it to you tomorrow."
"Alright, but can you really return it tomorrow? If you really need it, go borrow it from our captain. He can think of a way for you…"
Kou Ming stammered and reluctantly took out a paper bag from his backpack and handed it to Fang Heng, "Fang Heng, business is not doing well now. Don't lose money…"
"Don't worry, I'll pay you back double tomorrow."
Fang Heng took the paper bag and weighed it in his hand. He said to Kou Ming, "I didn't expect you to be so capable. Alright, that's it. See you later."
Kou Ming watched Fang Heng leave reluctantly and walked straight into the cultivation field not far away. He was puzzled.
He could earn the dust of evil thoughts in the training ground? There was such a thing? Could it be bogus?
Fang Heng was a feudal lord, and every month, he could get a large number of investment funds from the Federation. Why would he covet the dust of evil thoughts from him?
Mm, definitely not!
Fang Heng did not notice the complicated look on Kou Ming's face. He had obtained more than 13g of the dust of evil thoughts from farming resentful creatures and more than 20g from Kou Ming. It was just enough.
After returning to the cultivation field, Fang Heng exchanged all the 30g of the dust of evil thoughts for the points in the invitation card. He then brought the 10 zombies, who were covered from head to toe, into the cultivation field again and again.
Then, Fang Heng waved his hand and rented ten training grounds.
The two zombie clones started to farm experience, while the remaining eight zombie clones stood by the side and waited for orders.
Next, he would have to wait for news from Elisa. He hoped that she would give him a surprise.
…
Fort Nazca.
It was one of the most famous and advanced academic colleges in Catantul.
This place had once given birth to countless geniuses in the necromancy.
The huge poster at the entrance of the teaching building attracted everyone's attention.
Many students gathered around.
Breaking through the shackles! Advance to high-tier necromancy, field experience, only 20,000 pesos to register, limited to 50 people, can bring along a teacher for safety reasons.

1426 Recruiting Manpower
The high price of 20,000 pesos on the poster attracted the attention of many people.
Most of the students who were able to enter Fort Nazca were not short of money.
However, 20,000 pesos was still a little too much, and it was not easy to take it out at once.
Of course, there were also many special enrollment students in Fort Nazca who were allowed to study because of their outstanding qualifications.
Most of these people were living in poverty.
The Rand Chamber of Commerce had invested a lot of money into Fort Nazca to be able to put up a poster here.
Seeing that there were so many people gathered at the entrance, but no one came to register, the attendant could not help but feel a little worried. He whispered, "Miss, why did we set such a high price? Won't it scare them away?"
"Most of the students in Fort Nazca are not short of money. If it's too cheap, it will make people doubt the authenticity. We have to make them feel that this money is worth it. Besides, those who can easily afford this money are from wealthy families. Usually, when they go to such a dangerous experience, they will be accompanied by a teacher."
Elisa replied softly, "This training will be fraught with dangers. With a teacher around, he can ensure our team's safety to a certain extent."
The steward of the Chambers of Commerce could not help but nod when he heard this, "Miss is wise, but…"
"But what?"
"The price is too high. Maybe the students are not willing to try."
Just like now, but they had already waited for more than half an hour. Some people gathered in front of the stall, but perhaps the price was set too high, no one actually signed up before the reputation had spread.
"Yes, there's no rush. I have my arrangements."
During this period of time, Elisa had also heard some rumors that the Rand Chamber of Commerce's family had encountered some setbacks in their business recently, and their capital chain had been slightly affected.
It would be best if she could use this opportunity to help her sister gain some fame in Catantul City and earn some money.
There was an endless stream of students coming and going in front of the poster. A group of students who came to ask questions gathered in front of the temporary counter.
A young man dressed in plain clothes hesitated for a moment and asked, "I'm a special enrollment student from Fort Nazca. My three companions and I want to sign up, but is what you said true? Going out to gain experience would definitely have practical results?"
"Of course, we will use the reputation of our Chamber of Commerce as a guarantee."
Zhou Chen frowned. He had already wasted too much time on advancing to become a high-tier necromancer.
The fee for going out to gain experience was very expensive, but he was willing to take a gamble.
"I don't believe in the credibility of the Chambers of Commerce. We want to have actual combat experience first and make payment after confirming that the experience is effective."
The surroundings quieted down, and the students all turned to look at Elisa.
Elisa nodded with a smile, "Of course. Student, the quota is limited. Are you and your companion sure you want to register?"
Zhou Chen could not help but be stunned when he saw Elisa agreeing so readily.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word or deliberately say that it's ineffective?"
"The Chamber of Commerce doesn't want to see such a thing happen, but we are willing to believe in the quality and potential of every necromancer. If you can't gather the money for the time being, the Chamber of Commerce is willing to provide an interest-free loan."
Zhou Chen immediately said, "Alright, I'll sign up. I still have three companions who want to sign up as well. I'll bring them over now."
"Of course, but you have to hurry up. The registration time will end soon."
Upon hearing the news that they could go out for training before paying the fees, more students gathered around.
"Can we also train first and pay later?"
With someone taking the lead, more students came to inquire.
Just as Elisa had predicted, a large number of students in Fort Nazca were stuck on the path to high-tier necromancy.
Such field combat training was extremely attractive to them. Not to mention that they could enjoy it first and pay later.
Immediately, many people decided to sign up. There were even some who paid in full.
"Miss, why do we still have the option of a full refund if we're not satisfied? Some people would ask for a refund after trying."
"Our main goal is not to make money."
The steward looked at Elisa and then at the students who had signed up. He suddenly understood.
"Miss Elisa, did you arrange those people?"
"Yes, I hired them to sign up. I contacted them privately and all the expenses will be borne by our Chambers of Commerce."
"Miss is wise." The Chambers of Commerce's steward nodded again and reminded, "However, once the news of the ineffective free trade spreads, we will probably be targeted by the opposing Chambers of Commerce."
"Indeed, there are risks. Let's take it one step at a time."
Not far away, a few students gathered together and observed from afar.
Du Changshen asked his personal teacher, "Uncle Qiao, what do you think?"
"You can try. Being in a crisis situation can indeed awaken one's potential and allow one to break through. However, wilderness training is very dangerous. The undead storm is even more of a huge crisis. Moreover, this is the first time I've encountered a field combat training organized by the Chambers of Commerce."
Qiao Lei looked at the students who have gathered outside the registration area not far away and nodded, "The strength of the Rand Chamber of Commerce isn't the best among the Chambers of Commerce. I heard that they seem to have encountered some trouble recently."
Du Changshen said, "Every time they go out to train in the wild, it costs a lot of money, not to mention that they have to bring such a large group of people. The consumption of resources is huge. The Chambers of Commerce won't do things at a loss. They vouch that they won't charge if the training is invalid. They must be somewhat confident."
Qiao Lei nodded and replied, "Hmm, that makes sense. Are you interested?"
"Uncle Qiao, I've been stuck for more than half a year, and I don't feel any signs of a breakthrough. I want to give it a try."
"Sure."
What surprised Elisa was that she had arranged a few people in the group in advance. Even so, they had thought that it would be good enough to have a party of 30 people. They did not expect that they would actually have a party of 50 people in the end!
It was also because the quota was limited.
There were even more students who were rejected and could only wait for the next batch.
In fact, there were even more students who were waiting to see if they would participate after the Chambers of Commerce returned from their first trial.
…
Three hours later, the news of the Rand Chamber of Commerce recruiting students for field training gradually spread.
This action attracted the attention of many people in the city.
They felt that the people from the Rand Chamber of Commerce must have gone crazy!
Recently, the Rand Chamber of Commerce had been attacked by several major Chambers of Commerce in the city and had been in financial trouble for a period of time.
Why did they suddenly do this?
A life-and-death struggle?
Was this necessary?
Earning money by organizing students to go out for experiential learning?
No one had ever been involved in this area before.
The risk was too great!
Who could guarantee that they would not encounter a high-level undead storm halfway through?
Even if they were lucky enough to succeed once, how could they be lucky every time?
After the various Chambers of Commerce received the news, they all fell silent.
They were all waiting to see the Rand Chamber of Commerce become a joke.
At this moment, the Chambers of Commerce had already prepared the accompanying materials and led a large team to the area outside the black wasteland where the undead storm was more concentrated.

1427 Team Experience
Soon, the Chambers of Commerce group arrived at the designated area.
The accompanying Chambers of Commerce guide waved his hand to signal for the team to stop temporarily.
"We have arrived at the designated area! It is estimated that a medium-sized undead storm will arrive in fifteen minutes. Get ready immediately!"
"Prepare to build the soul flame!"
The people who participated in the expedition this time were all experienced veterans of the Chambers of Commerce. They immediately took action after receiving the guide's instructions. They built a protective layer of soul fire and summoned the bone barrier in the central region area.
The students gathered in groups of twos and threes. Under the arrangement of the Chambers of Commerce, they gathered in a row at the front. Most of them looked a little nervous.
It wasn't a small-scale storm, but a medium-scale undead storm!
Rand Chamber of Commerce was serious this time!
Seeing this, the private teachers who came with the students also had solemn expressions.
Fang Heng stood in the central region and waited.
In order to make it easier to slaughter the resentful creatures, Elisa and the members of the Chambers of Commerce made some changes to the design of the bone barrier.
There was a large hole in the barrier. Behind the hole, there were many bone barriers, and a long distance was reserved as a danger control buffer domain.
It's coming!
Outside the bone barrier, the sky quickly darkened.
A storm that was accompanied by a strong gale was visible to the naked eye as it headed straight for the bone barrier!
The students couldn't help but get closer, adjusting their positions to prepare for the undead storm.
They spent most of their time studying in Fort Nazca and rarely had the chance to fight like this.
Qiao Lei, who was not far behind Du Changshen, whispered, "A medium-sized undead storm is extremely dangerous. Don't get too close. If you encounter any danger, come to my side immediately. I can only guarantee the safety of one person at most."
"What are you afraid of? Only danger could force out one's potential, right? Uncle Qiao, you don't have to bother with me."
Du Changshen said disdainfully and took a few steps forward.
He felt that it was time to force himself and see how much potential he had.
They were all students from Fort Nazca, but the special enrollment students did not bring teachers or guards with them. They all stood at the front of the line!
Du Changshen had never felt that he was weaker than them!
Elisa, who was standing in the middle of the group, shouted softly.
The Books of the Dead floated in front of the undead.
"It's here! Everyone! Condense the formation!"
"Boom!!!"
The strong wind created by the undead storm outside collided with the bone barrier in front of them, and the entire barrier emitted a cracking sound.
"Phew!!!"
A cold wind that could freeze souls whistled past and entered the Wall of Bones through the hole!
The soul flame in the center swayed wildly under the howling wind.
The cold wind was bone-chilling.
Under the extreme crisis, everyone was incredibly tense, relying on the heat provided by the large-scale soul flame burning behind them to maintain their condition.
Fifty necromancers activated their Books of the Dead at the same time!
The dense Books of the Dead connected together and emitted an even stronger dark light.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of black shadows condensed into resentful creatures that scuttled in from the outside world and pounced on everyone.
Seeing this, Elisa shouted, "Attack!" Stop them!"
Chi! Chi chi chi!!!
Black soul chains shot out from the dense row of Books of the Dead and stabbed into the resentful creatures that were charging at them!
In the blink of an eye, the first batch of resentful creatures was tightly controlled by the black chains!
Success!
Before the students could get excited, the second wave of resentful creatures followed closely behind and rushed in through the gap!
So many?
Faced with such a large number of resentful creatures, the students immediately became nervous. For a moment, their spiritual power control became chaotic.
The more anxious they were, the more flustered they became.
Elisa frowned.
This time, the Chamber of Commerce was recruiting students from the Law Academy in Fort Nazca. The people who came to register had also been screened.
Everyone practiced the art of necromancy.
In theory, it was not difficult to deal with the resentful creatures of this scale. However, in the actual battle, due to nervousness and unfamiliarity, one could only use 40% of his original strength.
Before everyone could calm down from their panic, the third and fourth batches of resentful creatures followed!
Not good!
The black chains could affect resentful creatures and slowly weaken their strength, but they could not kill them in a short period of time.
Seeing the resentful creatures getting closer and closer, the students' foreheads immediately broke out in a layer of cold sweat.
The many guardian teachers following behind stared at their own students and prepared to make a move. Their peripheral vision kept sweeping over the people from the Rand Chamber of Commerce, and they were puzzled.
What was the Rand Chamber of Commerce planning to do?
They had repeatedly promised to ensure the safety of the students, but it seemed that the Rand Chamber of Commerce was not reacting to it.
Among the many students participating in experiential learning, Du Changshen focused on controlling the Book of the Dead.
His talent was not weak, to begin with.
With the support of all kinds of high-level equipment on his body, his control ability was obviously higher than the other students.
In the undead storm, he realized how insignificant his strength was.
No, he couldn't resist anymore!
Du Changshen felt that he was reaching his limit by controlling four resentful creatures at the same time.
"Whoosh!"
What was that?
Du Changshen was shocked.
He saw a black-robed figure suddenly emerge in front of him.
Who was it?
Whoosh!
Fang Heng's figure flashed through the air, and the dagger of si in his hand emitted a dazzling blue light!
"Bang!!!"
The resentful creature that was pierced by the black iron chain exploded the moment the dagger slashed through it!
The game prompt on Fang Heng's retina also refreshed rapidly.
[Hint: The player has used skill-shadow slash (possession skill), causing an additional 2,331 skill damage to the resentful creature. The player's dagger's additional skill-soul burning has taken effect, causing an additional 1132*10 soul burning damage to the resentful creature.]
[Hint: The player's current weapon's additional skill-eternal soul has taken effect, absorbing additional soul energy.]
[Hint: The player has received 0.12g of the dust of evil thoughts.]
The blue light dots were absorbed by the dagger in his hand into his body.
Following that, Fang Heng felt his soul power recover slightly.
Good!
Continue!
Fang Heng flew towards another resentful creature.
"Bang! Bang Bang Bang!!!"
The figure was running around on the battlefield. Wherever he went, blue light flashed. The resentful creatures controlled by the students were continuously shattered by the dagger!
The students who were controlling the Book of the Dead with rapt attention were extremely shocked. They could not help but look at Fang Heng.
That guy is so powerful!
Who was he?
Was he an undead warrior?
Even their teacher would find it difficult to destroy so many resentful creatures in such a short period of time, and looking at his situation, his consumption seemed to be very low.
After Fang Heng joined the battlefield, the entire team got a chance to breathe.
Du Changshen wiped his forehead and quickly poured a bottle of potion into his mouth.
"Don't lose guard! Continue!"
Elisa's shout brought the students back to their senses. Everyone retracted their gazes and continued to focus on controlling the Book of the Dead.

1428 Giant
With Fang Heng joining, the team began to adjust quickly and gradually gained control of the situation.
More and more resentful creatures poured into the Wall of Bones through the opening!
There were even some students who had never experienced actual combat before. Under immense pressure, making mistakes became a very normal thing.
For a moment, the scene looked dangerous.
Fang Heng relied on the soul possession effect of the dagger of sin. If he really couldn't do it, he still had the protection of the teleportation ability and barrier skills that came with the Vampire King's coffin to solve the crisis continuously.
Behind the student team, the 30 teachers who had come with them also shifted their gazes to Fang Heng, their faces revealing thoughtful expressions.
These teachers were experienced guards. They could tell that Fang Heng's ability was enough to protect this group of students.
With them guarding at the side, they could ensure that the training experience was foolproof.
No wonder the Rand Chambers of Commerce was so confident.
But where did that young man come from?
The undead aura on his body was clearly not strong, but his strength was shockingly high.
Soon, everyone's attention was focused on the dagger in Fang Heng's hand.
"That weapon…"
"Yes, very strange."
"If I'm not mistaken, it's the dagger of sin, the treasure of that old man Gu Luo."
"So it's this…"
"The dagger of sin is very powerful. The memory of the soul fragments stored in it can allow an ordinary person to instantly have thousands of years of battle experience. However, the dagger itself is extremely difficult to control. It requires strong control and soul strength. This young man is very young, and I've never seen him before."
The others nodded in agreement.
The older teacher shook his head and sighed, "Gu Luo's student huh…He had waited for so long, and this time, he might really be the one."
In the state of soul possession, Fang Heng was already immersed in killing.
With fifty mid-level necromancy mages helping him control the resentful creatures, he would be able to eliminate them as quickly as possible and earn the dust of evil thoughts. By killing them, he would be able to recover extra soul power!
It felt so good!
At the same time, his ten zombie clones also started to move in the training ground, quickly consuming the extra soul power that they had recovered and continuously training their soul control!
Those who were able to join Fort Nazca were not ordinary people. They were either strong enough to pass the test of Fort Nazca and be specially enrolled, or they were average in strength, but their families were rich enough to pay for their tuition fees. These students were also equipped with high-level equipment and potions, which were enough to make up for their lack of strength.
After the students gradually adapted to Fang Heng's momentum, they quickly calmed down, and the chances of making mistakes were greatly reduced.
Everyone realized that Fang Heng would only attack those resentful creatures that were being controlled, so they needed to cooperate.
Once a person was attacked by a resentful creature in close range, they would be the first to suffer a serious soul injury. They would need to recuperate for ten days to half a month before they could recover. Secondly, the entire team would also be implicated.
Everyone worked together.
After familiarizing themselves with the routine and rhythm, the overall efficiency of the party in farming monsters began to increase at a rapid rate!
Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief, the soul fire gathered in the center suddenly swayed.
Seeing this, the expression of the captain guard of the Chambers of Commerce changed. He immediately signaled his subordinates to increase the intensity of the soul fire. At the same time, he reminded loudly, "Be careful! A big guy is coming! Everyone be alert! Speed up the burning of the soul fire!"
"Boom!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud explosion came from the hole in the bone barrier!
Looking in the direction of the explosion, the hole in the Wall of Bones had expanded by more than three times!
A huge shadowy human face forced its way through the huge hole.
A giant-sized resentful creature!
The human face was wrapped in a howling spiritual storm as it headed straight for the student team!
"Hu!!"
The soul fire in the center of the Chambers of Commerce team suddenly rose to resist the negative effects of the soul storm.
Oh no! They had actually encountered a giant resentful creature!
This was the first time most of the students had seen such a huge resentful creature.
Seeing this with their own eyes, the sense of danger that assaulted their faces immediately made everyone feel extremely nervous.
The accompanying teachers also revealed serious expressions, ready to intervene at any time.
Elisa shouted, "Kill it!!!"
"Pfft! Chi chi chi!"
Almost at the same time, more than ten soul chains shot out from the Book of the Dead and stabbed into the giant resentful creature's face in the distance!
"Roar!!!"
The resentful creature let out a roar when it was attacked, and its speed increased by several times.
"Continue!"
Chi chi chi!!
Mental energy infusion!
More soul chains pierced out from the dense row of Books of the Dead!
Whoosh!
Fang Heng dashed out from the side, his dagger burning with soul fire slashing forward.
Bang!!
The blue aura exploded on the giant resentful creature's body.
"Roar…!"
The giant face let out a painful soul roar.
"Boom!!!"
Fang Heng's pupils constricted, and he immediately felt a strong gust of wind blowing at him. Ice crystals quickly appeared on his body, and his body flew backward uncontrollably!
[Hint: The player has been attacked by the frost fury roar, receiving 1,663 damage and 2,409 soul damage. The player has entered a frozen state and frozen soul state.]
Seeing this, Elisa looked anxious. Seeing Fang Heng fly backward, she shouted, "Fang Heng!"
An elite-level giant-sized resentful creature!
It was a storm attack that could freeze the body and cause serious damage to the sea of consciousness!
"Bang!"
In mid-air, the ice crystals on Fang Heng's body shattered in an instant!
Fang Heng's brows were tightly knitted together. Suddenly, he felt an extremely cold aura rapidly invade his sea of consciousness through his body!
The injuries on his body were secondary. He could quickly heal through the undying body effect.
The troublesome thing was the soul attack!
It felt like a severe headache after eating a mouthful of ice cream in the middle of summer.
The pain almost made him unable to think
However, in the blink of an eye, a scorching aura flowed out of his sea of consciousness!
The scorching soul power instantly broke through the icy aura!
Fang Heng recovered and quickly glanced at the game log as he adjusted his body.
[Hint: The player's passive skill-undying body has taken effect. The player's frozen state has been removed.]
[Hint: The player has relied on the strength of his soul to resist the frozen soul state. The player's soul resistance has been slightly increased. The player's current soul resistance rating: E.]
Eh?
What was going on?
His soul resistance had also increased.
There was such a good thing about being beaten up?
Should he go up and get hit a few more times?
Fang Heng immediately dismissed this idea.
It wasn't the right time. If he was beaten up here, the students behind him wouldn't be able to hold on.
In addition to dealing with the giant elite resentful creature, the ordinary resentful creatures continued to emerge from the shadows in front of them, rapidly approaching the team.
Get rid of the resentful creatures first!
This was not the first time he had encountered a giant elite resentful creature. The last time he encountered it, Fang Heng already knew how to deal with it.

1429 Upgrade
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and maintained his posture in mid-air. He landed lightly on the ground and quickly arrived beside the burning soul bonfire on the right.
Under everyone's gaze, Fang Heng suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it on the bonfire.
What?
Many students turned their gazes to Fang Heng, and they couldn't help but wonder what he was going to do.
"Boom!!!"
In the next moment, the burning soul fire actually soared more than ten meters high under Fang Heng's urging!
All the students were surprised.
What the hell!
The fiercely burning soul fire illuminated the surroundings. The small and medium-sized resentful creatures that were charging at the team suddenly froze. The entire shadow seemed to be in a daze as it trembled uncontrollably. Then, it stopped on the spot and entered an unstable state.
"Roar!"
The face of the giant-sized resentful creature phantom in the air was also severely injured. It emitted an even more miserable spiritual roar.
Not only the students from Fort Nazca but even the teachers who came along were once again shocked by Fang Heng.
What was that?
Soul fire explosion?
How could Fang Heng's soul main body and his talent in necromancy be so high?
The teachers were even more surprised.
Previously, they had realized that Fang Heng's soul power far exceeded that of ordinary people, but it was so strong that no one present had expected it.
Swoosh!!!
Taking advantage of the fact that the elite resentful creature had entered a stunned state after being burned by the soul fire, Fang Heng's figure flew through the air and rushed straight to the front of the resentful creature.
"Boom!!!"
Many of the students were still wondering how Fang Heng managed to create such an explosive soul fire. Then, they felt their eardrums boom.
The blue soul energy dissipated and was absorbed by the dagger of sin.
Fang Heng quickly sensed his sea of consciousness and was pleasantly surprised.
Amazing!
The dust of evil thoughts did not drop much, but the energy recovery provided by the elite resentful creature and ordinary resentful creatures were not on the same level!
The difference was nearly a hundred times!
After absorbing the soul energy, the soul energy in his sea of consciousness had recovered by a large margin!
If there were more elite resentful creatures…
Fang Heng raised the dagger in his hand and looked around again. He glanced at the students of Fort Nazca who were still in shock.
The students had participated in the entire battle, and they felt far more shocked than the teachers.
A person of similar age to them could not only resist the giant-sized resentful creature's frost fury roar attack but also deal with the giant resentful creature in a one-on-one situation.
Even after the battle, he was still full of energy.
How did he do it?
Fang Heng looked away from the people around him.
Continue!
Give it all!
…
The mid-level storm lasted for a full hour before it completely dissipated.
As the resentful creatures left, the storm faded away, and the sky regained its clarity.
Fang Heng stopped. Even with the high attributes, he still felt tired and panted heavily.
It was more of a mental exhaustion.
After an hour of intense fighting, the students of Fort Nazca felt their mind and soul power being drained. They were so tired that they fell to the ground one by one.
Du Changshen felt exhausted.
He had lived for more than twenty years, but he had never been so tired as he was today. He just wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.
It didn't matter who came.
Du Changshen looked up at the sky and saw his teacher.
"Teacher?"
"Well, sit up and look at the people around you."
"What?"
Du Changshen was puzzled. He struggled to sit up and looked around blankly.
Around them, many of the Fort Nazca students who were participating in the training also struggled to sit up.
Many people sat on the ground, closing their eyes to condense their spiritual power.
Most of them were poor students who were specially recruited by Fort Nazca.
The rich students looked at each other.
It was unknown who took the lead, but the remaining students also forced themselves to sit up straight and followed the guidance of the teacher to condense the soul force in the sea of consciousness.
"I understand, Teacher."
Du Changshen smiled bitterly in his heart. He forced his exhausted body to start condensing his sea of consciousness.
Following the teacher's guidance, Du Changshen closed his eyes and concentrated his spiritual power.
"This…"
Du Changshen suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his teacher.
The strength of his soul had actually increased!
He had broken through!
Du Changshen was pleasantly surprised, and he couldn't help but want to share the joy of his breakthrough with his teacher.
However, before he could say anything, he was interrupted by his teacher.
"Continue!"
Du Changshen's spirit became serious as he said, "Yes! Teacher!"
After experiencing an arduous experience, everyone more or less felt an improvement in their mental strength and soul power. They were pleasantly surprised and then continued the second and third rounds of spiritual power condensation.
Elisa also opened her eyes after completing two rounds of spiritual power condensation.
As expected, actual combat training was one of the most effective ways to break through bottlenecks.
Eh? Where was Fang Heng?
Elisa looked around and found Fang Heng sitting not far away with a few guides from the Chambers of Commerce. They seemed to be having a good conversation.
Fang Heng was in a good mood.
After experiencing a battle, Fang Heng counted his gains from this trip.
A total of 119g of soul dust was collected.
Repaying Kou Ming's debt would be a piece of cake.
Apart from that, after the battle, his personal soul attribute had increased slightly.
Fang Heng opened the game log.
Player's current soul bearing ability rating: SSS (MAX).
Player's current soul control rating: D-.
Player's current soul tenacity rating: E.
Player's current soul resistance rating: E.
Player's current soul density rating: D-.
Player's current soul strength rating: S (Player's current soul has fused with an unknown life form.)
Player's current soul strength rating: A.
All his attributes had been slightly enhanced, but his overall score had not increased.
Anyway, with soul bearing pulling up the score, if the remaining control, tenacity, density, and resistance were all raised to A-level, the total score would probably be able to reach S-level to complete the mission to advance to high-tier necromancy.
Fang Heng calculated in his heart.
He had just chatted with the guides.
According to the guides, the undead storm that they had just encountered was the smallest of the medium-sized storms.
After all, the guides were afraid of death and were worried that something would happen to them.
Previously, they had only reluctantly agreed to try out the medium-sized undead storm after Fang Heng's insistence and the generous reward from the Rand Chamber of Commerce.
In fact, their luck was indeed not too good. They even encountered a giant-sized vengeful creature in the undead storm.
Fang Heng felt that the team's efficiency could still be improved a little, so he tried to persuade the guides to try the higher-level medium-sized undead storm next time.
At this rate, he would be able to complete the upgrade mission in two or three days.

1430 Revelation
"Fang Heng."
Elisa walked over and greeted Fang Heng." How is it? Is everything alright?"
"Yes, very good. How about you? Are you ready to continue?"
"Continue?"
Elisa blinked and looked at Fang Heng as if he was a monster.
Fang Heng should be the one who consumed the most energy among everyone present, right?
The others were already exhausted. How could he continue to persevere?
Elisa smiled bitterly in her heart and said, "Fang Heng, I can still continue, but they might not be able to."
"Yes…"
Fang Heng looked at the people behind him in disappointment.
The intermediate necromancy students were still not very good…
Elisa did not know what Fang Heng was thinking and explained, "Fang Heng, continuously controlling the Book of the Dead consumes a lot of mental strength and soul power. Moreover, it was under that kind of crisis just now. It's difficult to maintain the state of the battle."
Elisa's talent was one in a million among the many necromancers, which was why she was invited by Fort Nazca.
Even she couldn't handle a battle of this intensity.
"Alright then."
Fang Heng didn't insist and continued, "There should be many students in Fort Nazca, right? Can we start the next match as soon as possible?"
Elisa nodded and said, "Are you sure you want to continue? Don't force yourself too much. Moreover, if you train at night, the difficulty will increase."
"Yes, we need to speed up. I want to finish my cultivation as soon as possible."
"Alright, we'll return first. Three hours later, we'll set off again."
They still had to prepare after three hours…
Fang Heng sighed inwardly.
It was still not satisfying enough…
…
The golden light shone in the rebuilt Holy Hall.
Viona was bathed in Holy Light as she descended with many guardian Paladins.
"Saintess."
The members of the Holy Court bowed respectfully.
High Priestess Susie stood up to welcome her, "Viona, you're here. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
"High Priestess."
Viona nodded respectfully, "Before I came, the bishop told me many times that High Priestess Susie is very experienced and that I must listen to her advice."
"You're welcome. You're in charge of this operation."
High Priestess Susie walked forward and whispered in Viona's ear, telling her some of the information that the Holy Court had obtained after investigating the Land of Plague.
This was especially true for the many problems she had found out about Fang Heng.
Viona's eyes were filled with surprise. She had heard of Fang Heng and investigated him.
But the sacred tree in the Land of Plague was related to the curse of the vampires that the Holy Court had been investigating.
Viona felt that things were getting more and more complicated.
"It seems that Fang Heng is hiding many secrets."
"Yes, Saintess. We've also investigated some of Fang Heng's background information in the real world and found that a large portion of his information has been modified. The person who tampered with it was very detailed. Moreover, some of the information has been encrypted by the Central Federation's system. The level of authority is very high, so we can't investigate it."
The Federation?
Viona frowned and asked, "Susie, do you have any suggestions?"
"Saintess, Fang Heng must be hiding a secret. A deeper investigation requires the approval of the archbishop in advance. With the influence of the Holy Court, we will obtain a higher level of investigation authority from the Federation."
"Yes."
Viona nodded gently.
"The destruction of the Holy Mountain and the unknown high-level world boundary are both related to Fang Heng. I will seek the help of the archbishop, but directly requesting the Federation to investigate may alert the enemy."
After saying that, Viona slowly walked forward and looked around again.
"Is this the place where the explosion happened?"
The judge of the Holy Court, Jerymaine, had experienced the explosion of the Holy Mountain. He immediately walked forward and knelt on one knee, reporting, "Yes, Saintess. That day, I was in charge of guarding the foot of the Holy Mountain. I'm sorry, but everything happened too quickly. I only felt an intense and powerful aura fluctuation. When I turned around, I only saw a red pillar of light. Then, the entire Holy Mountain was destroyed under the influence of the pillar of light."
Susie continued, "We investigated the red pillar of light after we arrived. Unfortunately, we found nothing."
"It's fine. I came here because of this."
Viona nodded, walked forward, and slowly opened her arms.
"Buzz…!"
The Book of Creation appeared in front of Viona.
Dark golden light bloomed from the Book of Creation, gradually enveloping the entire hall.
"Under the illumination of the Holy Light, evil will definitely be exposed."
As Viona chanted, a faint ripple appeared on her chest, and the reflection of a halo appeared behind her.
Seeing the silver halo, Jerymaine's heart skipped a beat.
The Saintess' innate ability, Wheel of Fate.
Even though Viona had yet to fully awaken, under the enhancement of the holy artifact, the necklace of faith bestowed by the holy realm, the power of the Wheel of Fate could already achieve a level of suppression.
In the hall, the members of the Holy Court on both sides knelt down on one knee, revealing pious expressions on their faces.
"Ka ka ka ka…"
The silver Wheel of Fate behind Viona slowly spun.
The trajectory of fate was gently stirred.
Viona's pupils also reflected two spinning halos.
"See through the illusion!"
The surrounding space gradually turned into nothingness under Viona's command, and the time phantom seemed to be flowing backward.
Until the day of the explosion on the Holy Mountain.
Eh?!
Viona's pupils constricted.
What was that?
Her eyes were filled with red light.
The Wheel of Fate in Viona's eyes was instantly filled with red!
Susie sensed that the surrounding energy fluctuations had suddenly become extremely unstable. She also saw that Viona's forehead was covered in cold sweat. She immediately sensed that something was wrong and shouted, "Be careful!"
"Boom!!!"
In the next moment, a violent explosion filled the entire prayer hall of the Holy Mountain.
The entire Holy Mountain shone with intense golden light again.
At the foot of the Holy Mountain, the believers knelt down and prayed when they saw the golden Holy Light.
"Saintess! Saintess!"
A moment later, the golden light dissipated, and the prayer hall was in chaos.
The illusion in front of them dissipated, and the people of the Holy Court saw that Viona's chest was dyed red by a ball of blood, and her facial features were still bleeding.
Viona was supported by the High Priestess Susie. She tried hard to suppress her urge to say something, but her lips moved, and she still fainted.
What had happened?
Everyone from the Holy Court was shocked.
"Saintess!"
"She's fine!"
Susie stopped the people who wanted to help. With a solemn expression, she said in a deep voice, "The Saintess suffered a severe backlash from the Wheel of Fate and needs a good rest. I'll bring her down to rest! This matter is strictly confidential."
"Yes!"
Susie personally brought the unconscious Viona back to her room to rest.
She was extremely shocked.
Even the Wheel of Fate had suffered such a powerful backlash. What kind of power was it?
Soon.
Everything would be answered after Viona woke up.

1431 Frost Hell
Two days later, at night, there was almost no starlight in Punoze, which was shrouded in gray fog.
Catantul also gradually fell into silence.
The anniversary celebration of the Rand Chamber of Commerce in Catantul was held at a large hotel on the west side of the city.
The Chamber of Commerce booked the entire hotel and invited all the business partners in the city.
In the past two days, the word "group" had become a new favorite in Catantul.
The reputation of the Rand Chamber of Commerce's innovative experiential learning program gradually fermented. Many students had tasted the sweetness and rushed to spend money to sign up for the experiential learning program with the Chamber of Commerce.
After deducting all the expenses, the Rand Chamber of Commerce made a lot of money.
The big cash infusion was a direct shot in the arm for the beleaguered Rand Chamber of Commerce.
The Rand Chamber of Commerce of the Catantutul branch was once again thriving.
Affected by this, the other Chambers of Commerce also launched the same model, preparing to compete with the Rand Chamber of Commerce for students.
However, the other Chambers of Commerce encountered trouble just as they started.
They did a rough calculation.
Hiring manpower, early preparation, various follow-up organizations, building relationships, hiring teams, and finally, the amount of money that could be earned in the end was really small.
It was fine if they earned less, but it was not an easy job.
The various Chambers of Commerce were very anxious.
After all, the risk of training in the wild was huge.
If the students participating in experiential learning were to encounter some danger, the reputation of their entire Chambers of Commerce would suffer a great loss. They did not dare to be careless in terms of safety and could only spend more money to ensure their safety.
The most troublesome thing was that the few field trips that the Chambers of Commerce had tried to organize did not satisfy the students.
The reviews were really average.
The various Chambers of Commerce began to feel that something was wrong.
Why did only the Rand Chamber of Commerce make a lot of money? They copied what they did, but they suffered a ridiculous loss?
After careful investigation, they gradually realized that the business model of the Rand Chamber of Commerce was mainly based on one person.
Fang Heng.
At the same time, Fang Heng reluctantly agreed to Elisa's invitation to the banquet after two consecutive days.
For the next two days, Fang Heng cultivated day and night.
When Elisa's team arrived, he would lead the team. If the team did not arrive, he would find an elite resentful creature to increase his soul resistance.
His determined attitude made the NPCs of the Rand Chamber of Commerce shout that they did not care about their lives.
Everyone thought that Fang Heng was a monster.
Elisa could not help but feel a little heartache when she saw that Fang Heng had such a desperate cultivation mode in addition to his talent.
She did not know what had happened to Fang Heng to make him work so hard.
In fact, Fang Heng did not feel tired. Instead, he felt that he was enjoying himself.
Every time he finished training, he could see the excellent training results through the game hint.
The progress of high-tier necromancy increased by leaps and bounds!
The overall strength of his soul attribute had also increased.
Fang Heng opened the game character log to check.
Player's current soul bearing ability rating: SSS (Max).
Player's current soul control rating: B.
Player's current soul tenacity rating: B.
Player's current soul resistance rating: A-.
Player's current soul density rating: B.
Player's current soul strength rating: S (Player's current soul has fused with an unknown life form).
Current comprehensive soul strength rating: A.
Initially, his comprehensive soul strength was just one step away. Fang Heng originally did not want to come and participate in this banquet and the subsequent missions that would have a high probability of being triggered.
However, he was helpless against Elisa's warm invitation.
The Rand Chamber of Commerce had indeed helped him a lot in the past two days. Elisa even said that the Chamber of Commerce had a gift for him to thank him for his help in the past two days.
It was just a change of mood and to take a break.
Fang Heng agreed half-heartedly.
The good news was that Zheng Yuping was here too. At least he wouldn't be alone and be bored.
After Zheng Yuping found out that Fang Heng was attending the banquet, he got an invitation letter from somewhere and went straight to Fang Heng's side.
"Fang Heng, we're almost ready. We'll set off for the Frost Fortress in the far north tomorrow afternoon. We should be able to make it in time for Frost Hell which opens at night. Can you make it in time?"
"Yes, no problem."
Fang Heng estimated the time.
After the banquet ended, he would lead two or three more groups. By then, he would be able to raise his soul strength to S-level and advance to high-tier necromancy. Then, he would successfully set off for Frost Hell.
The timing was just right.
"That's good. If it's convenient, I'll pick you up at noon tomorrow."
Zheng Yuping heaved a sigh of relief.
In the past two days, his main focus had been on preparing for the Frost Hell.
In his opinion, with Fang Heng's help, this was a great opportunity for them to farm for brilliant crystals. At the same time, this was also a way for the Federation to assess Fang Heng's strength. He would take this opportunity to test Fang Heng's true strength and lay the foundation for future cooperation.
However, what Zheng Yuping did not expect was that in just two days, Fang Heng had already made a name for himself in Catantul and even caused a little trouble.
The Federation's Intelligence Department's evaluation of Fang Heng was indeed correct.
Fang Heng was very strong and could cause trouble. This was extremely terrifying. He was like an unstable time bomb.
Zheng Yuping leaned over and whispered into Fang Heng's ear, "Fang Heng, you've caught others' attention for the past two days. I've received some news that a few Chambers of Commerce have released news that they want to make a move on you. If you still want to lead a group, be careful."
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you referring to those hostile Chambers of Commerce that aren't on good terms with the Rand Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, it seems that you have already heard the news."
"Yes."
Fang Heng nodded lightly.
In fact, he had felt it since yesterday afternoon.
There were a few people in the group who were not normal. They did not look like ordinary students. They spent most of their time sizing him up.
There were still two or three groups left. He would stop after he was done with them.
As long as he was careful, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Fang Heng had also communicated with Elisa about this matter. Elisa was distraught that the other Chambers of Commerce would make a move, so she agreed with Fang Heng's plan to stop after this.
"Alright, as long as you know what to do."
Zheng Yuping nodded and said no more.
Fang Heng shifted his gaze to Wendy, the president of the Rand Chamber of Commerce, who was on the podium in front of him. He nodded and said, "The Rand Chamber of Commerce has also prepared a group of people to enter the Frost Hell with us. Their Chamber of Commerce needs some special resources from Frost Hell to increase its competitiveness. When we enter the Frost Hell, we will help each other and sell the resources to the Rand Chamber of Commerce first."
"No problem. I'll go and discuss the cooperation with them after it's over."
Zheng Yuping didn't care. In the past, they had randomly chosen which Chamber of Commerce they would sell their supplies to.
The main reason was that he was too lazy to compare the goods. He would sell them to the one that provided the most convenient transportation service.
This was to save trouble.
With the help of the Rand Chamber of Commerce, Zheng Yuping naturally wouldn't refuse.

1432 Skill Book
"Next, let's invite Fang Heng to the stage."
Fang Heng was stunned when he saw Wendy on the podium beckoning him to come up.
There was such a thing?
Most of the people's gazes were focused on him. There were a few malicious gazes among them.
Fang Heng ignored them and went up to the front of the platform.
Wendy, the president of the Rand Chamber of Commerce, nodded at Fang Heng with gratitude.
In just two days, the capital chain of the Rand Chambers of Commerce had been replenished, solving their urgent needs.
Wendy wanted to tie Fang Heng to the warship of the Rand Chambers of Commerce.
"Fang Heng, the Rand Chamber of Commerce has been very happy working with you during this period of time. Thank you for taking care of Elisa during this period of time. Our Chamber of Commerce has prepared a gift for you."
[Hint: The player's friendship with Rand Chamber of Commerce has reached a level of 'trust'. The player has obtained a skill book-undead summoning: Bones (changed).]
Reward?
And it was actually a skill book?!
Fang Heng took the blue skill book that was wrapped in red and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes. He immediately held the skill book in his palm and observed it.
Item: Undead summoning: Bones (Changed).
Type: Skill book, bound after acquisition.
Level: Epic
Description: The Bones' summoning skill was modified by the master necromancer-Andrek. Able to control the Bones by injecting a soul brand into the skeletal creature. With the help of the soul brand, the caster can summon Bones more smoothly. This skill can be used even without the Book of the Dead. However, this skill also has a huge flaw.
Description: This undead summoning spell has some flaws.
Prerequisite for learning: High-tier necromancy, soul strength rating: S-level, soul strength overall rating: S-level, spiritual power attribute: above 200.
It was actually an epic skill book?!
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
Under normal circumstances, a scholar who studied necromancy would be able to record skills in the Book of the Dead in various ways after leveling up.
For example, he could look for a mentor or enter various Necromancer Associations or academies to study.
Skills that were in the form of skill books were extremely rare.
Unlike normal learning and recording skills, this method of learning skills would not take up the restrictions of the Book of the Dead's transcription skills. It could also be used in the absence of the Book of the Dead. In comparison, it was more convenient.
Fang Heng carefully checked the skill description.
What a high learning difficulty!
There was the normal Bones' summoning skill in necromancy. The skill level was relatively low and could be learned at the elementary level of necromancy.
Similarly, the undead Bones summoned by the skill were also very ordinary and did not have any combat ability.
In a one-on-one battle, ordinary Bones couldn't even defeat ordinary zombies.
At most, they looked a little scary and were mostly used as cannon fodder in battle.
However, the Bones' summoning skill book in front of him looked different.
No matter what, similar singular skills were different from academic talent skills. Learning too many of them would not result in additional penalties.
Having more skills doesn't weigh down one's body!
"Thank you."
"As long as you're satisfied."
Fang Heng nodded and thanked Wendy. He took the skill book and walked back to Zheng Yuping's side.
When Zheng Yuping saw Fang Heng's new skill book, the initial surprise on his face immediately turned into pure envy. He sighed, "Fang Heng, I didn't expect the Rand Chamber of Commerce to give you this skill book. They really spent a lot of money to rope you in."
Fang Heng couldn't help but be curious. He turned his head and asked, "Hmm? Is this skill book very powerful?"
"Powerful? It's not just a little bit powerful, it's very powerful. If it could be traded, many people would be willing to pay a lot of money to buy it."
Seeing the confusion on Fang Heng's face, Zheng Yuping continued to explain, "The skill book in your hand is a little special. For example, the ordinary undead summoning skill directly summons skeletal creatures, but the skill book in your hand has been modified. It uses the soul to brand the skeletal creatures to enslave them. Through the soul brand, you can summon and reverse the summoning."
"That sounds a little too much. The most obvious difference is that ordinary undead summoning can only summon low-level Bones. With the skill book in your hand, you can start from the lowest-level Bones' summoning, high-tier Bones' summoning, elite Bones' summoning, and even summoning a Bone Dragon at the end."
"Bone Dragon?"
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"However, although it's powerful, the Bones' summoning skill has a very high learning requirement. Even if I were to have it, I wouldn't be able to use it. It's not that easy to use the skill. I still need to leave a soul brand on the skeletal creature. The damage that the summoned creature receives in battle is also very difficult to recover. In short, there are advantages and disadvantages."
"Yes, I understand."
Fang Heng nodded. He had a rough understanding of the situation and put the skill book back into his backpack.
Looking at the game description, the skill was still incomplete.
It was fine. In any case, there was still some time before he could learn the skill. When he met the learning requirements, he would learn it and see its effect. If it was really useless, he would throw it aside.
Applause came from the banquet stage from time to time. Fang Heng took the gift and followed behind to eat.
It was safe and sound until the banquet was about to end. Fang Heng noticed a young man walking up to him.
"Mr. Fang Heng, we're meeting for the first time. I'm here on behalf of the major Chambers of Commerce in Catantul."
"Hmm?"
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the well-dressed young man.
"Which major Chambers of Commerce?"
"You will know soon enough."
The young man's tone was arrogant and his expression was somewhat condescending, "We're just reminding you in advance that the Rand Chamber of Commerce is not a good partner. I suggest that you find another partner. What Rand Chamber of Commerce can give you, our Chamber of Commerce can give you enough, and we're willing to give you more. You're a smart person, so you should know what to choose."
Fang Heng looked at the young man in front of him. He had an indifferent attitude and did not care about threatening to poach someone in this venue.
"I understand. I'll consider it."
"Of course, but there's not much time left for you to consider. We hope to get an answer tomorrow. Otherwise…"
The young man smiled and paused before continuing, "If you encounter any trouble during the process of leading the group, and the students participating in the trial encounter danger, that would be a very bad thing. I'm afraid even the Rand Chamber of Commerce can't bear the responsibility. What do you think?"
"Hehe."
Without waiting for Fang Heng's reply, the young man pretended to laugh dryly and left.
Watching the young man leave, Zheng Yuping couldn't help but shrug and say, "Fine, look, the game rewards aren't that easy to get. This guy is one of the heirs of the Culodi Trading Company's hereditary family's Chambers of Commerce, and he's already clearly threatening you."
"Yes."
Fang Heng nodded, thinking that it was troublesome.
Fortunately, he had almost completed his mission and would be leaving soon.
He could delay him for a while, and then he would run to the North District's Frost Hell tomorrow morning. He didn't have to worry about the mess here.

1433 High-tier Necromancy
[Hint: The player's current soul tenacity has increased to A. The player's current overall soul strength has increased to S.]
[Hint: You have successfully advanced to high-tier necromancy. Your original skill has been forgotten.]
[Hint: You have mastered high-tier necromancy.]
Skill: High-tier necromancy (Level 1).
Skill description: An advanced skill of necromancy. Through this skill, you can use some items related to the study of necromancy and learn necromancy skills. When using various skills, you will receive a small boost.
Skill description: Every time the skill level is increased, the player's basic willpower will increase by 2 points, the player's lifespan will be extended, and the player's soul strength will be slightly increased.
Skill description: This skill can be upgraded to a maximum of Level 30.
Description: On the path of exploring the soul and death, you seem to have seen the threshold.
As the trial ended, a game hint appeared on Fang Heng's retina.
"Finally, I've leveled up…"
Fang Heng exhaled deeply.
Finally! He was so exhausted!
Along the way, while dealing with the resentful creatures, they had to be constantly on guard against a few unstable factors in the team.
Fang Heng clearly noticed the warning looks from a few people on the team.
They were most likely hired by other Chambers of Commerce.
Elisa also felt relieved.
In the past two days, the people from the other Chambers of Commerce had been watching more and more closely. She was also worried that something might happen.
After the last training session, Elisa hurriedly called the Chamber of Commerce to prepare for the trip.
While everyone was packing up, Fang Heng took out the skill book from his backpack and slapped it on his head.
[Hint: The player has met the current skill learning requirements. The player has successfully learned the skill-undead summoning: Bones (changed).]
The skill book turned into a ball of white light and merged into his body.
Fang Heng tried to understand the way to use the skill in his memory.
At the same time, various skill descriptions appeared in his vision.
Skill: Undead summoning-Bones (changed).
Skill description: Bones' summoning, modified by the necromancy master-Andrek. Able to control skeletal creatures by injecting a soul brand into their bodies. With the help of the soul brand, the caster can summon the Bones more smoothly. This skill can be used even without the Book of the Dead. However, this skill also has a huge hidden danger.
Skill description: Raising the skill level can reduce the spiritual power consumption and soul power consumption of the summoning, and increase the duration of the summoning.
Skill description: When applying a spiritual imprint, it will slightly consume the player's soul power and spiritual power. The success rate is related to the player's soul strength, the player's talent in necromancy, the player's necromancy level, the player's skill level, the player's attributes, and the target's status level.
After comprehending the way to use the skill in detail, Fang Heng finally understood.
Bones' summoning was another form of torture.
It was equivalent to seeing a decent skeletal creature and the caster would carve a spiritual brand on the skeletal creature, and in the future, he could use the power of the soul brand to summon it to fight.
The disadvantage was that after the reversal, the damage to the Bones could only be slowly healed by itself. Moreover, it was very likely that the creature that was imprinted with the mark suddenly encountered some danger in its living environment and accidentally killed itself…
The benefits were also obvious. The strength of the Bones he branded could be controlled.
If you have the patience and strength, find a way to recruit a large number of powerful Bone Dragons to fight for you.
It was countless times stronger than the ordinary Bones' summoning spell.
"Good stuff."
After pondering for a moment, Fang Heng discovered the benefits of this move.
The Vampire Apocalypse!
Currently, his Vampire Apocalypse was still in the process of being modified, and there were still a large number of corpse pit buildings that were constantly being upgraded. At that time, a large number of skeletal creatures would slowly be born.
There would be a probability of elite Bones being born in the pit.
Wouldn't the Vampire Apocalypse become a cultivation ground for man-made Bones?
He had the Bones kill each other and create a large number of elite skeleton creatures.
There would be no danger if he placed the Bones in the Vampire Apocalypse. He would also find a way to create a similar bone graveyard with the bone bricks he had collected from the bone graveyard. He could even use the power of the graveyard to heal the injuries of the Bones.
It was simply perfect!
Fang Heng pursed his lips, feeling that he finally looked like a necromancer.
When he had some time, he would go back to the Vampire Apocalypse world and try out his skills. He wanted to see if he could seal some elite Bones.
At that time, they could be considered a group of combat forces.
Soon, the team set off again.
Fang Heng followed them back to Catantul.
The captain of the Federation team, Zheng Yuping, had been waiting for a long time at the warehouse of the Rand Chamber of Commerce.
Since the city of Catantul did not allow the transportation of large quantities of supplies, the Federation team had already transported the required supplies to the city closest to the Northern Frost Hell.
The Federation team and the people from the Rand Chamber of Commerce had already gone over to make preparations.
Seeing Fang Heng come over, Zheng Yuping waved at him and said, "World Lord Fang Heng, we are almost done here, we can set off now. How is your situation? Is everything alright?"
"Not bad."
Fang Heng walked over from afar, made a hand gesture, and nodded, "Everything went smoothly."
"Yes, it's good that it went smoothly."
Zheng Yuping didn't think there was anything special about Fang Heng.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that in just three days, Fang Heng had already maxed out his necromancy from elementary to high-tier.
As a matter of fact, Fang Heng had not completely stopped his soul cultivation. He had left a zombie clone in the training ground to improve his soul control.
Controlling the soul of a zombie clone didn't consume a lot of energy, and he could completely replenish it with his soul energy.
Fang Heng was not in a hurry.
In order to prevent advancing to the higher-tier master necromancy and facing soul strength requirements, he might as well grind slowly and think of a way to grind all the attributes related to soul strength to SSS-level.
Not far away, the Chamber of Commerce was preparing to make the final preparations. Wendy and Elisa whispered a few words and walked over.
Wendy looked a little solemn and nodded, "Fang Heng, sorry to trouble you. I heard that the major Chambers of Commerce are very dissatisfied with you. Because of our relationship, they might harm you during this Hunting Day in the Frost Hell."
"Hmm? They want to pursue me?"
When Fang Heng heard this, a sense of powerlessness rose in his heart.
He had gone to the North District's Frost Hell to avoid trouble, and these people still wouldn't let him go.
How much hatred do they have toward him?
He had already promised not to lead a group in the future…
Fang Heng smiled bitterly, "Is there a need to be so ruthless?"
Elisa said, "Fang Heng, the major Chambers of Commerce are already competing with us. Even without you, they would still attack our Chamber of Commerce during Hunting Day. You just happened to be in time, so they found a target to kill as an example to the others. We must be careful this time."

1434 Hunting Day
Wendy continued, "There are a lot of materials and resources in Frost Hell. Many of them are extremely rare in Punoze, and they are usually fought over by the major Chambers of Commerce. They are taking advantage of this opportunity to deal with us."
"Fang Heng, we will have two experienced guides to join your team. They have entered the Frost Hell dozens of times and are very experienced."
Looking at Fang Heng, Elisa felt a little guilty.
At first, she thought that she could use Fang Heng's strength to help the family's Chambers of Commerce a little, and she could also help Fang Heng. She did not expect things to develop too quickly, so Fang Heng encountered such great danger.
"Okay, I understand. Just guard against those people from the Chambers of Commerce."
Fang Heng was ready.
The zombie clone team and the Licker team were ready.
Try not to cause trouble.
However, if they really fought, he was not afraid of them.
"Thank you. Be careful."
Wendy nodded and thanked Fang Heng. Then, without saying anything more, she continued to call the Chambers of Commerce to make the final preparations before leaving.
"Cough cough, Fang Heng."
After the others left, Zheng Yuping coughed lightly and looked at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng saw the strange look on Zheng Yuping's face and couldn't help but say, "Hmm? What's wrong? If you have something to say, just say it."
"Actually…"
Zheng Yuping looked bitter and said, "Actually, it's not just the Chambers of Commerce who want to deal with you during this Hunting Day. There's also a portion of the player teams."
"Hmm? Player?"
Fang Heng was also shocked.
He promised himself to keep a low profile during this period of time. When did he fall to the point where everyone hated him?
"How did I offend them?"
"Do you still remember what happened at the bone graveyard? The few guilds that you messed with aren't very convinced. They might also make a move against you during this Hunting Day. There are also some who are secretly targeting our Federation. There might be anti-federation forces involved…"
Fang Heng shrugged.
"That's it."
Indeed, Zheng Yuping was right. At this point, it didn't matter if there was one more or one less.
…
Northern Frost Hell.
Halfway to the Frost Fortress of the Undead City, the cold wind kept whistling
Fang Heng's physique was extraordinary, and it was not a problem for him to rely on his physical fitness to endure it.
The mages and scholars in the team couldn't hold on any longer.
The team moved very slowly.
The team only arrived at Frost Fortress when night fell.
"Why isn't there a teleportation passage in the Undead City of Frost Hell? You didn't build a mage tower?"
Fang Heng was curious as he sized up the large fortress in front of him.
It would not take much effort to build a mage teleportation tower. If he had enough resources, he would be able to help build one very quickly.
Unfortunately, the entire Frost Fortress was so powerful that not a single mage tower was built, forcing the entire team to rush over.
"We've complained about this more than once. Maybe there's some reason that we have no choice."
Kou Ming chimed in, "And the security of Frost Fortress is exceptionally tight. That City Lord is also very strange."
Fang Heng raised his head and looked ahead.
Indeed, there was a long queue of people entering the city
All goods entering the city had to be carefully inspected before they were allowed to enter the city.
The Rand Chamber of Commerce was also like this
After queuing for more than half an hour, the team finally entered the city.
The Frost Hell Hunting Day was held at a fixed time every month. Many player teams and local NPC teams would come to Frost Fortress to participate.
There was no lack of people who were interested in the rewards given by the City Lord. Some of them were here to gain experience, and most of them were here to obtain the materials and rare treasures of Frost Hell.
During this period of time, the city was always prosperous.
The major Chambers of Commerce had set up in the city in advance, and private owners could be seen setting up stalls on both sides of the main road.
Most of them were selling some goods prepared for Hunting Day.
After the Hunting Day ended, the various Chambers of Commerce began to purchase all kinds of materials from Frost Hell.
The Rand Chamber of Commerce also had a small warehouse in the city. They had already prepared materials for everyone in advance.
After resting for a while in the warehouse, the team prepared to set off for the Frost Hell.
The entrance to Frost Hell was not far from the city. In fact, the entrance was directly connected to the north gate of Frost Fortress.
Soon, Fang Heng followed the team to the north gate.
Looking from afar, he saw a large stretch of mountains. The entire mountain range was covered in a layer of white mist. The mountain range was surrounded by a thick metal wall.
Necromancy attendants in gray robes could be seen at regular intervals on the metal city walls. These attendants seemed to be guarding.
Fang Heng frowned. He suddenly had a strange feeling. It seemed that this fortress was built to protect Frost Hell.
"Everyone, take a break. The Hunting Day will start after dark. There's about half an hour left."
The guide interrupted Fang Heng's thoughts.
The team found an empty space nearby to rest.
There were many teams that came to participate in the Hunting Day. There were also mercenary teams and Chambers of Commerce teams gathered nearby.
A total of 55 people from the Federation and the Rand Chamber of Commerce had entered the Frost Hell.
Apart from the twelve people from the Federation, the rest were guards and guides brought by the Rand Chamber of Commerce.
According to the guide in the Chambers of Commerce, the Frost Hell was abnormally dangerous. Moreover, many of the passages could only be passed by one person. If the number of people in a party exceeded a certain level, it would become bloated. It would be difficult for the leader to worry about them, and they would be more likely to encounter danger.
Based on past experience, it was best to act in small to medium-sized teams of 10 to 15 people.
A team of more than 20 people would be a little difficult, and their movements would be hindered.
Thus, the party had discussed beforehand that they would enter the Frost Hell together at first, and then split into two teams after they entered deeper.
The Rand Chamber of Commerce had already found a relatively large resource point in advance and was preparing to enter the Frost Hell to collect materials. The two sides had agreed on some emergency distress signals so that they could provide each other with timely support in case of danger.
Taking advantage of the break, Zheng Yuping went to discuss a few details with Wendy, the leader of the Rand Chamber of Commerce.
Soon, the moon descended.
The metal gate in front of them opened.
In an instant, a white frost that could be seen with the naked eye seeped out of the door.
The cold air spread.
Everyone gathered at the entrance couldn't help but shiver and shrink their necks.
The people from the Federation and the Chambers of Commerce began to pour resistance potions into their mouths.
Fang Heng also felt that something was wrong.
There was a cold aura in the cold air.
The aura seeped into his body and invaded his sea of consciousness.
However, the cold aura was quickly dissolved by the soul strength in his sea of consciousness.

1435 Entering the Arena
"It seems that the training during this period of time has been effective."
As Fang Heng thought about it, a game hint appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player has been affected by the environment-Frost Hell. The player's current soul strength is higher than A-level, immune to this negative effect.]
[Hint: As the player enters the current environment, the effect of the Frost Hell may increase. Please be careful.]
Fang Heng glanced at the game hint.
Previously, the Federation had given him a few bottles of high-level potion to resist the cold aura. Now, it seemed that there was no need.
In front, the teams began to line up to enter the arena.
This was not Zheng Yuping's first time entering Frost Hell, so he was very familiar with the place. Seeing that the team had started to move, he waved his hand and said, "We'll follow them and prepare to set off."
"Yes."
Fang Heng nodded and followed the federal team led by Zheng Yuping into the Frost Hell.
The merchants and teams that had just started to enter the narrow passage were crowded together behind the metal door in large numbers. They could not be separated.
Fang Heng's team followed behind the main group and did not even encounter any undead creatures in Frost Hell.
Very soon, many forks appeared in front of them, and the group began to become sparse.
After walking for a while, Elisa and Wendy followed Fang Heng.
Wendy said in a low voice, "Mr. Fang Heng, we will go to the collection area in the periphery of the Frost Hell to look for a special medicinal material called ice crystal flower. We have received news that there are ice crystal flowers blooming in that area."
"Yes, I will follow the federal team deeper. There are creatures gathering in that area, and very few teams approach. We will try to farm for supplies there."
Fang Heng and Wendy had communicated earlier and knew that the Rand Chamber of Commerce was going to the less dangerous areas to collect some materials.
The goals of both sides were different.
Wendy gestured behind her. A few subordinates of the Rand Chamber of Commerce worked together to move a wooden box that was more than two meters long over.
"What is this?"
"Some time ago, the Chamber of Commerce found a broken green crystal soul stone while cleaning up the warehouse. The soul stone has a special property that can hide the aura of life and reduce the attack of nearby soul creatures. We've tried it a few times and it's very effective against the undead creatures in the Frost Hell. Take it with you and avoid unnecessary trouble on the way."
"Yes, it's cumbersome. It's a little inconvenient to transport it."
Fang Heng stepped forward and opened the wooden box to take a look.
There was a light green stone in the box.
The stone was huge and looked very heavy. It seemed to have been hit by some impact, and its round surface was covered with cracks.
Fang Heng tried to touch the stone.
The game hint immediately appeared.
[Hint: The player has obtained an unknown item.]
[Item: Soul crystal with cracks (broken).]
Level: ??? (Unidentified)(Broken)(Special item)(Large).
Description: A light green crystal. You can feel the broken soul aura from it.
Description: Carrying this item can shield a large area of soul power and life aura, greatly reducing the probability of being attacked by undead creatures (Only effective on normal units, partially effective on elite units).
Description: This item has some unknown effects. The player does not possess any related skills. Unable to obtain more information.
Description: A special item, cannot be stored in the backpack.
Description: This item is relatively heavy. If your constitution is higher than 200, you can carry it by yourself and suffer an additional 70% movement speed penalty. If your constitution is higher than 100, two people can carry it and suffer an additional 50% movement speed penalty. If multiple people carry it, your movement speed will be reduced depending on your constitution.
Fang Heng looked at the stone's attributes and shook his head.
He finally understood.
It was probably a tool that could conceal one's aura. After using it, it could shield the surrounding aura from the attacks of undead creatures.
The item was not bad. It could avoid attacks from others.
However, the negative effects of this thing were too troublesome. Not only did it require several people to move it, but it also directly reduces the movement speed.
To Fang Heng, it was completely useless.
"No need, you guys can keep it. This crystal can hide your aura, so it's more useful to you. Moreover, it's not convenient for us to carry it around."
Wendy didn't insist. She thought for a while and called the steward of the Chamber of Commerce.
Soon, another person came up with a small box.
"This piece is relatively small and suitable for carrying. It was cut off from a large stone during our previous research. The effect is much worse and can only be used by one person."
Opening the box, there was a small green crystal inside.
[Item: Soul crystal with cracks (Broken).]
Fang Heng took a look. There was a slight difference between the mission description and the description of the large crystal. The range of effect was only effective on a single person, and it could only be used on ordinary undead creatures.
The only advantage was that it could be directly put into the backpack.
Unfortunately, after putting it into his backpack, it still had a 10% movement speed reduction negative effect.
"Okay, I'll take it. You guys be careful on the way."
Fang Heng took the soul stone and pass it to Kou Ming for safekeeping.
Soon, under the guide's guidance, the two teams completely separated and headed in two different directions.
Fang Heng and the federal team gradually separated from the main force that entered Frost Hell.
Along the way, faint white souls gradually began to appear on the road.
Zheng Yuping stopped when he saw the enemy and made a combat gesture.
Fang Heng observed from afar.
The frozen vengeful spirit.
A special creature that resides in the Frost Hell.
The vengeful spirit was surrounded by a layer of cold air that was visible to the naked eye.
Without waiting for Fang Heng to continue observing, the Federation team launched an attack ahead of time.
"Whoosh! Shuu!!"
Several black spears pierced the frozen vengeful spirit.
The black spear was a great counter to the frozen vengeful spirit.
After being hit, there would be a 3-second stun.
After five or six long spears pierced its body, the frozen vengeful spirit exploded in front of them, leaving behind sparkling ice shards.
While they were on their way, Zheng Yuping introduced the key points of the Frost Hell operation to Fang Heng.
To put it simply: it was to farm for monsters!
In Frost Hell, a special type of soul ice crystal would drop after killing monsters.
The City Lord of the Undead City was purchasing these soul ice crystals.
The player could use ice crystals to exchange points and other items.
After accumulating a certain amount of points, they could exchange them for the brilliant crystal.
However, his points would be emptied every three months, so it was difficult to accumulate a large number of points over a long period of time to exchange for high-tier brilliant crystals.
"The undead lifeforms in Frost Hell have all been affected by the undead aura and have mutated. Their attacks will be accompanied by a considerable degree of soul attacks and frost-freezing attributes. There are two types of undead lifeforms that are most commonly seen here. One is the frozen vengeful spirit, and the other is the Ice Bones. Both of them have a single attack method, and neither of them has long-range attacks."

1436 Mountain Stream
Fang Heng listened to Zheng Yuping's explanation and summarized the situation.
Farming monsters!
Earning points!
Go all out!
Fang Heng rubbed his fists.
Zheng Yuping glanced at Fang Heng from the corner of his eye.
In the past, every time the Frost Hell opened, they would grind at a fixed leveling spot. Every time they fought with all their might, they would obtain a Tier 5 brilliant crystal.
There was still a huge gap between them and a Tier 6 brilliant crystal, but it was already an incredible achievement.
This time, with Fang Heng's help, they wanted to challenge and obtain three Tier 5 brilliant crystals.
To be safe, they had to first see Fang Heng's actual strength.
After all, they had always known that Fang Heng was very strong and could control a large number of zombie creatures. In just a few days, he had even helped the Rand Chamber of Commerce earn a large sum of money and easily offended a large number of Chambers of Commerce.
In short, it was not something that normal people could do.
However, no one had seen Fang Heng's actual combat situation, so they could not help but feel a little uneasy.
…
Half an hour later, Zheng Yuping brought Fang Heng through the rugged mountain passage and into the depths of Frost Hell.
"Not there yet?"
Fang Heng glanced at the game hint and said, "Let's find a place with more monsters and fewer people."
"Yes, we'll be there soon. This time, we found a special location with very few people."
In order to avoid trouble during the farming process, Zheng Yuping agreed with Fang Heng's suggestion to choose a place with fewer people to set up a farming route in advance.
Fang Heng was a little anxious. He had calculated the time and ordered the zombie clones to commit suicide.
Along the way, the path between the mountains was extremely rugged and dangerous. Even the Lickers had a hard time walking, let alone the zombie clones. At least half of the zombie clones summoned would die halfway.
"It's just ahead."
As he spoke, Zheng Yuping pried open the tree branches blocking the road and pointed at a mountain stream in front of him.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and sized up the mountain stream shrouded in thick fog.
There was originally a stream in front of them, but it had been completely frozen.
In front of the stream was a mountain stream, and it was scattered with white skeletal creatures.
Looking closely at the back of the mountain stream, there was still a large area behind that was somewhat unclear. It seemed that there were a large number of Ice Bones and frozen vengeful spirits inside.
This was a great chance!
This terrain was excellent!
The beginning of the mountain stream area was a little narrow but after passing through this section of the road, the area in the mountain stream was extremely wide and flat. It was very suitable for large-scale creatures to take action!
The terrain of the exit was also very suitable. If they encountered any danger, they only needed to send a large number of zombie clones to block the entrance of the mountain stream. At that time, a large number of undead creatures would be blocked inside.
"Fang Heng, how is it? I found this place according to your request. There's hardly anyone nearby. Are you satisfied?"
"Not bad."
Fang Heng nodded in satisfaction.
The location that the people from the Federation found was quite reliable.
He could let the zombie clones try to farm a wave of undead creatures in Frost Hell to see how strong they were.
"Let's go."
"Good!"
Zheng Yuping immediately took the lead and led the federal team to jump down from the four-meter-high platform. They quickly walked across the frozen ice.
Before they even entered the mountain stream, the surrounding frozen vengeful spirits and Ice Bones were attracted by the aura of living people.
The members of the federal team were already prepared. They immediately used their soul lances to deal with the few wandering frozen vengeful spirits around them
The use of the soul lance was a skill that could be learned after advancing to an intermediate necromancer. It had an added bonus when dealing with spiritual creatures.
In order to farm monsters, everyone in Zheng Yuping's party recorded this skill through the Book of the Dead.
In order to be in time for Hunting Day, Fang Heng did not have the time to record a batch of skills after leveling up to high-tier necromancy.
According to Zheng Yuping, he still had to spend time doing the prerequisite missions and points to record skills in Punoze.
It was a bit late in the game
Fang Heng took out the dagger of sin in his hand and dashed forward to attack a frozen vengeful spirit.
"Tsk!"
The dagger slashed across the frozen vengeful spirit's body.
"Hu!!"
The blue light exploded and cut a blue hole in the frozen vengeful spirit's body!
Fang Heng frowned.
The frozen vengeful spirit was stronger than normal vengeful spirits. Moreover, he had lost the help of the black soul lock, so he could not kill it in one hit.
Whoosh!
A cold aura whistled past Fang Heng's eyes.
Fang Heng dodged the vengeful spirit's attack agilely and swung his dagger again.
"Pfft! Chi chi chi!"
After two consecutive attacks, the frozen vengeful spirit exploded in the air.
The game hint appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player has killed the frozen vengeful spirit. The player has obtained an additional 120 survival points. The player has obtained a broken soul ice crystal*1.]
Not bad, the efficiency of killing was not low.
The dagger had an added bonus to the soul body.
However, dealing with those Ice Bones was a little troublesome.
Fang Heng thought about it and quickly waved his dagger. After taking care of three approaching frozen vengeful spirits, he retreated. He looked at the frozen vengeful spirits and Ice Bones that were slowly gathering from afar and could not help but think about how to deal with them.
In his current situation, even if he relied on a large number of zombie clones it would be difficult for him to farm monsters quickly.
They could still rely on their numbers to suppress the Bones, but against the undead that was immune to physical attacks, they were a little restrained.
He could switch to the sacred study state and add weapon blessing to the claws of the zombie clone to make its physical attacks effective on the soul body, but he lacked equipment and could not cast weapon blessing on the claws in batches.
The weapon blessing's duration was short, and he had to release the skills one by one.
It was too slow.
The efficiency of farming monsters could not increase either.
Fang Heng had come with the intention of farming the highest level Tier 7 crystals.
He had always been used to farming monsters quickly, so he was naturally reluctant to farm monsters slowly like normal players.
The crowd did not know what Fang Heng was thinking, but seeing Fang Heng kill three frozen vengeful spirits with just a few moves, they could not help but admire him and nod their heads secretly.
Zheng Yuping saw this and was happy in his heart.
This wave was going to be a success!
With Fang Heng's current strength, he could easily obtain two Tier 5 brilliant crystals by the end of the competition.
After all, he was a World Lord, he was strong.
Not to mention anything else, just this move alone crushed them by more than ten roads.
While Fang Heng was pondering, Zheng Yuping's team quickly cleared a small piece of empty space in the surroundings and then gathered to set up a small bonfire.
"Phew!!"
The soul fire burned in the bonfire, dispelling the negative effect of the soul freeze on the players in the area.
Zheng Yuping nodded to Fang Heng and asked, "Fang Heng, how is it? Is this area okay? There are no resource points in the vicinity, so very few people would pass by."

1437 Increase in Efficiency
"Yes…"
Fang Heng was still thinking about how to increase the efficiency of farming monsters. He was a little absent-minded. When he heard Zheng Yuping's words, he couldn't help but raise his head and nod, "Mm, alright, alright."
"That's good. Let's hurry up and start. First, think of a way to clear the passage leading to the mountain stream in front."
"Yes."
Zheng Yuping waved his hand to signal the team to move out.
"Chi! Tsk tsk!"
The player team immediately adjusted their formation and shot out arrows with mageweath.
In addition to the soul lance skill, the federal team was also equipped with mageweath arrows that were specially used to deal with the frozen vengeful spirits.
There was a limit to the number of arrows, but the attack range was more than ten times longer than the soul lance. It consumed less spirit power and could be recycled.
A portion of the spirits and skeletal creatures that were entrenched in the mountain stream was attracted by the arrow attacks. The small area around them started to move and quickly approached the Federation players.
Fang Heng glanced at the game notification again.
The zombie clones still had some time to revive.
He would try again and see if the vengeful spirits have any weaknesses.
Facing the oncoming frozen vengeful spirits, Fang Heng lifted his dagger of sin and stepped forward again.
The dagger of sin's soul had been attached to its body, providing it with powerful melee combat abilities. It even had various martial arts techniques that were free to use.
Fang Heng's physical attributes were far superior to the average player of the same generation. He could easily meet the basic conditions for the use of various physical skills.
With Fang Heng's help, the scattered undead creatures that were attracted to the team were wiped out before they could even get close.
The federal team player quickly discovered a fact.
Zheng Yuping's team used arrows to lure monsters from afar, while Fang Heng continued to attack from the front.
Kou Ming felt great!
This was just the first cooperation between the Federation and Fang Heng.
One person was more powerful than their entire team!
He just didn't know how long Fang Heng's stamina was, and how long he could keep farming monsters like this.
The federal team couldn't maintain their peak condition for continuous battles. In order to ensure their safety, they would need half an hour to recover after half an hour of continuous battles.
Suddenly, Zheng Yuping, who was commanding the battle, saw Fang Heng stop the pace of the battle in the distance and made a hand gesture to him.
Eh?
It's only been five minutes and he's already done?
That's not right. Looking at him, he should still have some energy left.
Did Fang Heng discover something?
Zheng Yuping was suspicious. He raised his hand and signaled for the team to stop for a while. He walked over to Fang Heng and asked, "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm alright."
Fang Heng had deliberately exposed a few flaws to test the strength of the Ice Bones and the frozen vengeful spirits.
Fortunately, he could still withstand it with the powerful recovery ability of the undying body.
The problem was that the long swords and sabers used by the Ice Bones were covered in a layer of ice soul aura. Ice soul attacks could cause additional soul damage, which could break through the effect of the undying body and cause death.
The more troublesome frozen vengeful spirit was a vengeful spirit creature. All its attacks were soul attacks that could completely kill his zombie clones.
Therefore, Fang Heng made some adjustments to the battle plan after a short period of observation.
Fang Heng confirmed with Zheng Yuping again, "Is this area safe?"
"Hmm?"
Zheng Yuping was stunned for a moment. He looked around vigilantly, thinking that Fang Heng was hinting at something. He lowered his voice and asked, "Did you notice someone following us?"
"No.
"That's good." Zheng Yuping heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "Then it should be quite safe. I chose this area. There are more undead creatures here, and it's deeper into the Frost Hell."
Fang Heng nodded, "Alright, let's adjust our combat methods and increase our efficiency."
"Hmm?"
Zheng Yuping was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Do you have a more efficient method?"
"Yes."
Fang Heng pointed at a few high platforms in front of him and said, "Get a few of your men to guard them carefully. Be careful not to let outsiders approach. The rest of you gather here and think of a way to deal with the vengeful spirits first."
Zheng Yuping heard Fang Heng's words and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
He could tell that Fang Heng's melee ability dealt extra damage to the vengeful spirit but it was a little weaker against the Ice Bones.
Should they all focus on dealing with the frozen vengeful spirits?
What's the point of this arrangement?
What should he do with the remaining Ice Bones?
"Alright."
Zheng Yuping was a little confused, but he still waved his hand to signal the team to do as Fang Heng said. He let his men occupy a few high observation positions and then confirmed with Fang Heng, "Is that all? What's next?"
"Yes, that's enough. That's all for now. You guys retreat a little and leave the rest to me."
Fang Heng didn't mean to joke around. His face was serious.
What?
Just this?
Zheng Yuping was even more confused.
The people from the Federation did not know what Fang Heng was going to do. They all listened to his instructions and retreated. At the same time, they cast a puzzled look at Fang Heng.
Fang Heng took two steps forward and extended his hand.
Then, everyone heard the sound of a crack.
The Federation players who were standing on the high ground also looked at Fang Heng curiously.
Accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, dense cracks appeared on the gray frozen soil around Fang Heng's feet.
"Chi! Tsk tsk!"
Green-gray palms stretched out from the ground.
At the same time, red spiraling magic arrays appeared beside Fang Heng.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The scarlet Licker was the first to fly out from the magic array!!!
Following that, a dense group of zombies crawled out of the ground.
Zheng Yuping's pupils constricted, and he clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were filled with excitement.
Zombies!
Fang Heng's innate skill-zombie control.
A terrifying S-level talent ability!
To be able to become a World Lord in just half a year and control the entire Vampire Apocalypse, the zombie control skill played a huge role.
In the Federation, it was even rated as a talent beyond S-level strength.
Regarding Fang Heng's innate ability, there were currently two different voices within the federal team.
Many experts believed that the zombie control talent was extremely terrifying in elementary games, but once it entered the middle and advanced stages, the practicality of the skill would greatly decrease.
After all, the zombies' individual combat ability was too low. After entering the advanced game stage, they would lose their advantage.
Zheng Yuping had doubts about this analysis.
Just based on what Fang Heng had shown, he would be able to crush most players in the mid-tier game world.

1438 Brand
"Chi chi!!"
A large number of zombies gathered at the same spot, and the Lickers that came out of the magic array followed Fang Heng as they flew forward, pouncing on the Ice Bones.
Zheng Yuping immediately understood Fang Heng's intentions.
They would use Lickers to deal with the Ice Bones, leaving them to deal with the frozen vengeful spirits!
After confirming the target, Zheng Yuping immediately waved his hand and gave the order.
"Don't just stand there! Attack! Help him!!"
"Yes!"
The federal team immediately moved to deal with the frozen vengeful spirits.
The entire mountain was filled with the Ice Bones and frozen vengeful spirits, and the ratio was about 7:3.
The number of frozen vengeful spirits was relatively fewer!
Fang Heng was not in a hurry. He consciously maintained the battle rhythm and relied on the advantage of the terrain to lure the monsters wave by wave.
They maintained a rhythm of numbers against numbers, relying on the advantage of numbers to suppress the enemies.
Fang Heng's body moved back and forth among the group of vengeful spirits, continuously harvesting the lives of the frozen vengeful spirits. He would occasionally retreat to rest.
Zheng Yuping was commanding from the side, but at the same time, he was secretly shocked.
He realized that the Intelligence Department of the Federation was several versions behind in their information on Fang Heng's innate skill.
The strength of zombies was much higher than what he had seen in the documents!
Even when faced with high-tier Ice Bones, they could still cause damage.
The key was endurance!
With the help of the zombie team, the efficiency of the entire party in killing monsters had more than doubled!
At this rate, he would definitely be able to get two Tier 5 brilliant crystals!
There was even a chance to get a Tier 6 crystal!
After all, with a group of meat shields in front, the Federation players did not have much to do. They could easily follow behind and attack the frozen vengeful spirits.
He only focused on dealing with damage, so his efficiency had also increased.
If he had known that Fang Heng was so strong, he would have brought more people over to greatly increase the efficiency of farming monsters.
The problem now was the frozen vengeful spirits.
Because the zombies and Licker could not cause any damage to the soul, their farming efficiency was greatly limited.
What should he do?
Looking at Fang Heng constantly shuttling through a large number of frozen vengeful spirits, Zheng Yuping was silent and slowly fell into deep thought.
He felt like he had overlooked something.
"Captain, I have an idea."
Kou Ming walked over and whispered something into Zheng Yuping's ear.
Hmm?
Zheng Yuping's eyes lit up when he heard Kou Ming's thoughts.
That's right!
Wasn't there still this?
Zheng Yuping patted Kou Ming's shoulder and praised, "You rascal You got something!"
Kou Ming scratched his head in embarrassment and said happily, "Captain? Is my idea okay?"
"I'm not sure about the requirements for the skill yet, but we've learned that Fang Heng's soul strength is astonishing. He might meet the requirements. I'll go and discuss it with him."
"Well, it's good that I can help."
"You have been of great help. No matter what, this would be good to increase efficiency."
Zheng Yuping then waved at Fang Heng, signaling him to come over for a discussion.
Fang Heng was still farming monsters when he noticed Zheng Yuping's movements. He quickly came to Zheng Yuping's side and scanned his surroundings.
"What's going on? Is someone nearby?"
"No, it's not that."
Zheng Yuping waved his hand and looked at Fang Heng expectantly. He tried to ask, "Fang Heng, I remember that when we were at the Rand Chamber of Commerce's banquet, you obtained a skill book for Bones' summoning, right?"
"Hmm?"
Fang Heng was surprised at first, but then he immediately thought of the skill he had obtained from the Rand Chamber of Commerce not long ago. He immediately understood and turned to look at the Ice Bones behind him.
"You mean to use the summoning skill?"
"That's right!"
Kou Ming, who had just suggested this idea, couldn't help but slap his thigh and say excitedly, "Fang Heng, the undead Bones are also skeletal creatures. Don't look at them just because they're just skeletons. They're not weak, and they're even stronger than the sea of Bones in the bone graveyard."
Zheng Yuping also nodded and looked at Fang Heng.
"Fang Heng, the Bones' summoning skill you obtained is very high-level. You can even control the Bone Dragon, so it won't be a problem for you to control the Ice Bones. The ice soul slaying blade in the Ice Bones' hand can work on the vengeful spirits. If we can control the Ice Bones, then we have a way to deal with the frozen vengeful spirits!"
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows, and his mind began spinning.
That's right!
With the help of the Bones' summoning skill, he could think of a way to leave a brand on the Ice Bones and control them to fight for him!
Then, he would use the controlled Ice Bones to deal with the frozen vengeful spirits.
Closed loop!
That makes sense!
Why didn't he think of it just now?
Fang Heng nodded immediately and said, "Alright! I'll try!"
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng was eager to try out his new skill. He immediately turned his head and quickly approached the front. He arrived in front of one of the Ice Bones that was waving the ice soul slaying blade.
The surrounding zombie clones were controlled by Fang Heng, and they all rushed towards Fang Heng, blocking the Ice Bones in the middle and reducing its range of movement.
The Ice Bones realized that it was an enemy, so it waved the Ice Soul Blade in its hand with all its might, continuously slashing at the vines that were attacking from all directions.
The vines that had been frozen by the ice soul slaying blade lost their toughness and were easily cut off!
However, there were too many vine zombies surrounding it.
Tiny vines extended out of the zombie clone's body and bound the Ice Bones tightly in a short while.
Fang Heng stood not far away from the Ice Bones.
He slowly raised his hand.
Skill-Bones' summoning!
His spiritual energy was activated.
A dark aura that was visible to the naked eye seeped out from Fang Heng's palm and quickly spread forward until it completely enveloped the Ice Bones.
A line of game notifications appeared on Fang Heng's retina.
[Hint: The player is using the Bones' summoning skill to brand its soul. The skill is being guided…Please maintain your skill guide status. Any movement, attack, casting, or being attacked will interrupt the status.]
The Ice Bones that was wrapped by the dark aura was temporarily stimulated and immediately fell into a violent state. The blue flames in its pupils accelerated and danced wildly in its hand.
Fang Heng frowned.
The Bones' summoning skill required time to be channeled, and the target would be stimulated and struggle crazily.
It was much harder than he had imagined!
Fortunately, the Ice Bones could not use its flying skills. It was surrounded by more than 30 vine zombie clones, and it could not use large-scale skills. It could only be blocked in the middle.
After waiting for a full two minutes, the ice-cold blue flames in the eyes of the Ice Bones suddenly extinguished.
[Hint: Skill guidance successful, authentication successful. The player has successfully branded the soul of the Ice Bones.]
Whoosh!
The red soul fire burned in the pupils of the Ice Bones again.

1439 Mode
At the same time, Fang Heng clearly felt a tiny light spot in his sea of consciousness.
Through the connection of this light spot, he could easily control the movements of the Ice Bones and summon them remotely through his mental strength.
In other aspects, the way he controlled the Bones was not much different from controlling the zombie clones. He could directly use his mental strength to control them.
"Go!"
Fang Heng sensed the light spots in his sea of consciousness and tried to point forward.
The zombie clones who were gathering around the Ice Bones moved backward.
Whoosh!
After the Ice Bones was freed, it immediately took a step forward and attacked a frozen vengeful spirit with its saber.
Whoosh!
It accelerated for a short time at close range and swung its ice soul slaying blade, bringing with it the sound of air breaking.
"Tsk!!"
A gash appeared on the frozen vengeful spirit's body.
"We succeeded! Did you see that?"
Kou Ming clapped his hands excitedly when he saw Fang Heng switch sides with the Ice Bones. He could not help but shout excitedly.
Zheng Yuping was also secretly shocked by Fang Heng's terrifying ability.
He actually succeeded in one try!
The Bones' summoning skill was extremely powerful and could even control high-level Ice Bones. However, it was said that the success rate was very low.
Zheng Yuping was different from Kou Ming. He considered the problem more comprehensively.
Even so, he felt that the skill of summoning the Bones was still not enough.
The biggest problem was that the difficulty of soul branding was too high, and the efficiency of branding was too low.
The skill channeling time was too long.
With this little bit of time, Fang Heng could have killed several vengeful creatures.
What was even more troublesome was that he had to consider the subsequent success rate of the branding and the ability of the controlled Ice Bones to continue fighting.
It was more like a consumable.
Zheng Yuping suddenly laughed at himself.
He felt that his expectations were too high.
Could it really be a perpetual motion machine?
After staying with Fang Heng for a few days, his horizons also become higher.
In fact, only a talented player like World Lord Fang Heng could rely on zombies to help him complete the soul brand. For ordinary players, using this skill was too difficult.
Recruiting Ice Bones had already increased their farming efficiency.
"Eh? Captain, look, what is World Lord Fang Heng doing?"
Zheng Yuping was deep in thought when he suddenly heard Kou Ming's exclamation. He couldn't help but look up in the direction that Kou Ming was pointing.
What was that?
Zheng Yuping was shocked.
The zombies with the vine entanglement ability once again surrounded the Ice Bones.
And this time…
The person who was standing in front of the Ice Bones and casting the skill was not Fang Heng himself, but a controlled zombie.
A dark aura?
The zombie clone vibe kept leaking out from its palm, slowly enveloping the Ice Bones.
Zheng Yuping's pupils contracted as he turned his head and stared at Fang Heng.
What was going on?
Zombies?
Zheng Yuping's eyes were filled with extreme shock.
His zombies could also use skills?!
Fang Heng stood not far away, his expression normal.
Soul branding required mental strength and soul power.
All along, zombie clones did not have the option of having mental strength, which was why Fang Heng had miscalculated that zombies did not have the ability to cast spells.
But in reality, it was not impossible to actively cast spells, but the restrictions were very big. He needed to spend mental strength to control them one by one.
Normal small skills that consumed less than 5 points of mental strength were not difficult to control. Once it exceeded 10 points, it became troublesome and required a single spiritual energy to control.
Spells that consumed more than 20 points would require Fang Heng to concentrate on controlling them, and the success rate would be greatly affected after controlling them.
As for higher-level spells, spells that consumed more than 30 points could not be used.
The mental strength of the soul brand skill was very weak.
Therefore, the zombie clone could also use the soul brand!
Fang Heng tried to control the vine zombies to bind the Ice Bones tightly.
A long channeling bar appeared above the heads of the zombie clones behind them, and they began to brand the Ice Bones with their souls.
Fang Heng could feel the soul power in his sea of consciousness being drained at an extremely fast speed!
Although the zombie clone didn't need to consume its mental strength, it could share the consumption of its soul power! It could only be used on Fang Heng's main body!
At the same time, the soul brand was being carried out, and the soul force of Fang Heng's main body was rapidly weakening.
Fang Heng frowned and charged into the midst of the frozen vengeful spirits again. He relied on the dagger of sin in his hand to kill the vengeful spirits and recover his soul power.
The two minutes of skill channeling time passed, and dense game prompts appeared on Fang Heng's retina again.
[Hint: Comprehensive authentication failed. The player's zombie clone successfully branded the target (Ice Bones).]
[Hint: Overall judgment: The player's zombie clone successfully defeated the target (Ice Bones)…]
Fang Heng frowned again. Perhaps due to some restrictions, the success rate of using zombie clones as a medium was not as high as he had imagined. It was only less than 25%.
But it was enough!
Swoosh!!
In an instant, three red soul flames emerged from the pupils of the Ice Bones.
Fang Heng controlled the Ice Bones that had been branded by his soul and quickly joined the battlefield.
The vine zombie clones continued to use the vines to capture and bind the Ice Bones, while the remaining ordinary zombie clones continued to use the soul brand to speed up the recruitment of companions.
The Ice Bones were branded with soul marks one after another and were under Fang Heng's control.
This set of assembly line-like operations stunned everyone from the Federation who was standing not far away.
Kou Ming opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
This was too awesome.
Zheng Yuping's breathing became heavy.
The creature controlled by Fang Heng could also use soul brand?
Was this possible?
In this way, what kind of terrifying chemical reaction could be produced when the Bones' summoning skill and Fang Heng's talent collided?
The development of the matter was moving towards a path that Zheng Yuping had never imagined.
In just ten minutes, wave after wave of Ice Bones was controlled by Fang Heng under the influence of the soul brand, gradually joining the battlefield.
Fang Heng gradually did not need the assistance of the Federation anymore.
After the number of Ice Bones he recruited had reached 30, the damage dealt was enough to deal with the frozen vengeful spirit that was slowly surging out of the mountain stream!
Fang Heng killed his way into the frozen vengeful spirits under the cover of the Ice Bones. He kept waving the dagger of sin in his hand, constantly finishing off the last attack, obtaining soul energy through killing.
For a moment, the zombie clones and the team formed by the Ice Bones actually grasped the rhythm and slowly increased their speed to move toward the inner part of the mountain stream.

1440 Farm, Farm, Farm
"Captain, let's…"
Kou Ming opened his mouth in shock.
He knew that Fang Heng was very strong and terrifying. He had seen the zombie team controlled by Fang Heng before, but the scene in front of him still made him feel a sense of terror from the bottom of his heart.
He had thought that the North District Ice Hell Hunting Day would be extremely dangerous.
He didn't expect that after World Lord Fang Heng joined the battle, the game's mode seemed to change.
After encountering a wave of undead creatures, the zombie army under Fang Heng's control did not weaken. Instead, it seemed to be getting stronger and stronger.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yuping was equally shocked.
With Fang Heng around, their speed of farming monsters was terrifying!
Tier 6!
If they continued to farm monsters at this speed, they might even have a chance to get a Tier 6 mutation crystal before the end!
Suppressing his excitement, Zheng Yuping said in a deep voice, "Okay, let's go and say hello. Brothers, be careful, don't lose your guard. Let's follow and see what goes."
"Roger!"
As the number of Ice Bones controlled by the zombie clones behind Fang Heng increased, the team's killing speed also increased.
Two hours later, a large pile of Ice Bones had accumulated in the mountain area. There were about six to seven hundred of them!
After a long battle, Fang Heng felt that his physical strength had greatly decreased, and his spirit was also extremely tired, so he retreated to take a break.
"Fang Heng, well done."
Zheng Yuping walked over and sat beside Fang Heng, handing him a bottle of high-intensity stamina and spirit recovery potions.
Currently, Zheng Yuping's team could no longer help in the battle. They might as well scatter around the periphery and patrol the players and NPC teams that they might encounter.
This group of people was the hidden threat.
"Hmm, not bad. I need to rest."
Fang Heng took the two bottles of potion and gulped them down.
The risk in the battle was not high anymore. The controlled Ice Bones were already rolling like a snowball. Even if Fang Heng did not join in, he could continue to farm automatically by relying on the zombie clones and the Ice Bones.
Of course, if he was willing to personally participate, his farming efficiency could continue to increase!
Fang Heng glanced at the densely packed skeletal creatures in the mountain stream in front of him, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
With the ice soul slash, the combat strength of the Ice Bones was even stronger than the Bones they encountered in the bone graveyard!
With the undead Bones' summoning skill, he could use this opportunity to accumulate a wave of Ice Bones. When he encountered danger, he could directly summon them to fight!
Compared to the zombie clones, the Ice Bones were more like consumables that were only used in battle. However, they could be summoned directly as a skill and were more flexible than the zombie clones!
In addition, during the battle, Fang Heng realized that his soul control and soul tenacity were still slowly increasing.
"I've almost recovered. I'll continue."
After resting for five minutes, Fang Heng nodded to Zheng Yuping and joined the battle again with the dagger of sin.
So fast?
Zheng Yuping looked at Fang Heng who was beside him and quickly disappeared into the mountain stream. He swallowed the words he was about to say to him.
How long had he rested?
His talent was already so terrifying, and he was still trying so hard.
This kind of person did not give others a chance to catch up at all…
Zheng Yuping watched as Fang Heng once again charged into the group of ice wraiths, and a thought arose in his mind.
If it was Fang Heng, would he really be able to complete that impossible task?
Kou Ming walked over and whispered into Zheng Yuping's ear," Captain, the latest report from the offline team has arrived. There seems to be some movement from the NPC forces of several games during Hunting Day. I heard that they are coming for Fang Heng."
Kou Ming saw that Zheng Yuping was staring at Fang Heng in a daze. He couldn't help but gently touch Zheng Yuping's shoulder and whispered, "Captain?"
Zheng Yuping was still thinking about something. He turned around and asked, "What? What?"
"It's the Rand Chamber of Commerce. We just received news that a few NPC teams seem to be coming for the Rand Chamber of Commerce. They might make a move on this hunting day. Fang Heng is very likely to be the target."
Zheng Yuping looked behind him.
The surroundings were heavily guarded. If anyone approached, they would be the first to notice and react.
"Yes, continue to strengthen the alert. If they dare to come, they will be the unlucky ones."
Zheng Yuping nodded and asked, "Are you still in contact with Boss?"
Hmm?
Hearing Zheng Yuping change the topic, Kou Ming was stunned.
"You mean Boss Jin?"
"Yeah, I saw him from afar at the commendation ceremony two years ago. I called him to ask about him during the new year."
Kou Ming didn't know why Zheng Yuping suddenly asked this, so he lowered his voice and said, "I don't have much contact with him either. Didn't he say that he was transferred to the special department in the past few years and that the level of confidentiality was very high? He even moved his house several times."
"Think of a way to contact the Boss."
"Ah?"
"I have a feeling that Boss Jin's talent mission is about to be completed."
…
In the wee hours of the morning, the Frost Hell was covered in frost.
Fang Heng retreated once again, gasping for breath. He took the rapid recovery potion from Kou Ming and gulped it down.
Quenching thirst!
After the initial shock of seeing a large number of Ice Bones, Zheng Yuping's team members felt even more admiration for Fang Heng.
Six consecutive hours!
That lunatic!
Every time he came back, he would take a sip of the potion, rest for a few minutes, and then immediately join the battlefield to continue fighting.
Right now, 99% of the entire mountain stream area had been cleared out by Fang Heng.
Under the cold moonlight, the mountain stream was densely packed with white bones.
There were more than three thousand of them.
Their eyes were filled with red soul fire.
They were all soul brands that Fang Heng had carved!
"Fang Heng, you've almost reached your limit. Take a break. Using the potion continuously will put an extra burden on your body. It'll be very troublesome to recover."
Zheng Yuping saw that Fang Heng was going to drink the potion again and could not help but go forward to persuade him.
"Also, we received news that a few people from the Chamber of Commerce are plotting to attack us. We need to preserve a portion of our physical strength in the face of dangers."
"Yes, alright."
Fang Heng felt that it made sense. He nodded, put down the potion in his mouth, and temporarily withdrew from the battle.
The battle between the zombie clones had almost reached the final stage.
He could rest for a while and recover his body's resistance to the drug.
Taking advantage of the rest period, Fang Heng closed his eyes again to sense the situation in his sea of consciousness.
The sea of consciousness was extremely vast. Other than the soul power that had fused with the sacred tree Abe Akaya, there was a large number of stars gathering in one area.
Those were the Bones' brand marks that he had used to brand them.

1441 Shady Lines
The effect of the brand was not permanent.
As time passed, the brand on the Bones would slowly disappear.
The duration was about a year.
Once the brand disappeared, his control over the Bones would also disappear completely.
Therefore, he had to brand them every year.
Fang Heng didn't think this would affect him much.
It was fine if he threw away a slightly low-level skeletal creature. If he encountered a high-level one, it was not a big deal to brand it every year.
After all, the zombie clones could do it for him.
It was not difficult at all!
Apart from that, there were more than 200,000 soul ice crystals in his backpack. The remaining materials, such as the cold marrow, accumulated resentment, and bones of hatred, which were dropped by the undead creatures after they died, could no longer be stored in his backpack. After zombie clones packed them up, they temporarily piled them up in the mountain stream.
At that time, it would take a lot of effort to move all of them out.
Taking advantage of his free time, Fang Heng asked Zheng Yuping, who was beside him. He wanted to know what it meant to get 200 thousand soul ice crystals, and what level of brilliant crystal he could exchange for in the end.
"If you have more than 200 thousand soul ice crystals, according to its different levels, you could probably get about 12 orange brilliant crystals."
Zheng Yuping lowered his head and estimated. With excitement, he said, "This is an estimate. I can't guarantee that you can get exactly 12 orange brilliant crystals. It's best if you can get two million. That way, you'll be able to exchange for a red crystal."
Hearing this, Fang Heng was stunned.
It actually took 2 million soul ice crystals to exchange for a red crystal?
"Then why are you so excited?" he thought.
Fang Heng calmed himself down and continued to ask, "How many points do we need to exchange for a purple brilliant crystal?"
"50 million."
"What? 50 million?"
Fang Heng was shocked.
In the beginning, he had come to the Frost Hell to fight for the highest-tier purple crystals.
Wasn't it too far away from the target of 50 million?
"Yes, we've calculated that it's almost impossible to obtain the purple crystals just by getting crystals, unless we can complete some high-difficulty missions and slay monsters."
Fang Heng was even more disappointed.
This was too difficult.
The Hunting Day of Frost Hell would only last for a day. After more than seven hours, he had only obtained 200 thousand crystals.
Fang Heng felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement to reach the fastest monster slaying efficiency.
However, how should he increase the efficiency by 200 times?
This gap was not something that could be achieved with hard work.
It was related to many aspects.
Fang Heng doubted if he could find so many undead creatures in the entire frost domain to obtain soul ice crystals.
It seemed that just slaying monsters was not enough.
He had to combine the two methods.
Fang Heng looked at Zheng Yuping and said seriously, "So, you guys have done some digging in advance on the high-level missions that the City Lord has issued, right? What is the highest-level mission?"
"Sigh, we've already done this countless times.
Zheng Yuping took advantage of his free time to explain to Fang Heng.
"Speaking of which, this matter is related to the undead storm in Punoze."
"It's said that a long time ago, the world of Punoze had yet to be occupied by Necromancers. At that time, it was still a world that was being fought over. The Holy Court discovered a few huge shady lines in the depths of the Frost Hell and believed that the source of the undead storm in Punoze was these shady lines."
"After that, we Necromancers also noticed this world and had some friction with the Holy Court. After that, the Holy Court withdrew, and the Necromancers obtained the final ownership of this world."
"Later, there were rumors that the Frost Fortress was built to protect these shady lines."
Fang Heng frowned.
Why was it related to the Holy Court?
Fang Heng asked, "So the current mission is also related to the shady line? Does the City Lord want to completely solve the problem of the shady line?"
"Not exactly. The existence of the shady line is beneficial to us Necromancers. Moreover, it's not our turn to completely solve such a difficult problem."
Zheng Yuping shrugged and laughed at himself. Then, he continued, "The specific mission is that the City Lord's ancestor once entered the depths of the shady line alone. Unfortunately, an accident happened, and he died under the shady line. If anyone can find the City Lord's ancestor's corpse and bring it back to the City Lord, the City Lord is willing to provide 30 million points as a reward."
Fang Heng rubbed his chin.
That was more like it.
30 million points was equivalent to three-fifths of the points he needed.
It seemed that he had to start from the mission to get Tier 7 brilliant crystals.
"Do you know the entrance to the shady line?"
"Yes, I know two. Those two entrances are currently occupied by a few teams. If we want to go, I'm sure they will show the Federation some respect, but…"
Zheng Yuping looked at the large group of zombies not far away, his face darkening.
How were they supposed to bring so many zombies over?
He felt that it was better to be more discreet. The highest-tier City Lord mission had existed ever since the existence of Punoze.
No one had been able to complete it for many years.
Even if Fang Heng was very powerful, it would still take some time to investigate and prepare. It was impossible for him to complete it in just a day.
It was better to think of a way to obtain a few more orange brilliant crystals.
"In fact, there are many entrances to shady lines hidden in the Frost Hell in the North District. As players have explored the Frost Hell over the years, more and more entrances to shady lines have been discovered. However, none of them have been revealed. We haven't explored this area too much either."
Zheng Yuping reminded him, "Many people have explored the shady line before. The number and strength of the undead creatures wandering inside are higher than those in the outside world. It's very difficult to deal with them. Moreover, in the shady line, you will be affected by the negative effects of the higher-level shady line aura."
"The difficulty of the mission is too high. Many teams are interested in purple brilliant crystals, so we decided to give up the mission temporarily after some research. Don't forget that there are still some people who are prepared to deal with us in the Winter Hell."
Fang Heng stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.
Just by listening to Zheng Yuping's words, he could tell that the difficulty of the mission was extremely high.
Fang Heng thought that he could go to the shady line first to take a look at the situation.
As for zombie clones and the Ice Bones, it was difficult for them to move. They could temporarily stay in the mountain stream and spread out to slay monsters in the surrounding area.
Thinking of this, Fang Heng raised his head again.
It was strange. It had been a while, but why hadn't the rest of the monsters been cleared?
Looking into the mountain stream carefully, Fang Heng saw that a large area behind the entire mountain stream passage had been completely cleared, but there were still frozen vengeful spirits and skeletal creatures emerging from a certain passage in the distance.
Fang Heng was curious and could not help but stand up, searching in the direction where the frozen vengeful spirits and Ice Bones had emerged.
Not far away, there was a hole in a stone wall.
From time to time, there would be several Ice Bones coming out of the hole.

1442 The Entrance
Fang Heng frowned and approached the cave entrance, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Zheng Yuping also brought his men and followed.
Seeing Fang Heng's puzzled look, he could not help but raise his guard. He looked in the direction of the cave entrance a few more times and asked Fang Heng in a low voice, "Fang Heng, how is it? What's going on?"
Something was wrong!
Fang Heng sensed something. He stared at the inside of the cave, his eyes narrowed into slits.
Holy aura?
Fang Heng was very familiar with the holy aura.
He was very sure that a faint holy aura was coming from the depths of the cave.
It was too strange. Why was there a strange holy aura coming from the cave?
And there were endless undead creatures coming out of it?
"The cave is a little strange. Be careful. Let's go in and investigate."
Zheng Yuping's expression also became serious as he signaled for his team to follow him.
"Alright."
The entrance to the cave was very small, and it would be difficult to find it if the entire mountain stream was not cleared of undead creatures.
Fang Heng controlled the Lickers and the Ice Bones to lead the way. Everyone carefully followed behind and groped their way forward.
At first, the narrow entrance could only allow one person to enter sideways.
After that, as the passage ahead gradually widened, the area before them also gradually widened.
The cave was separated by stone pillar rocks, and it seemed to be connected in all directions.
Suddenly, everyone felt a cold aura assaulting them.
The game Hint on Fang Heng's retina refreshed again.
[Hint: The player has been affected by the environment – high-tier Frost Hell effect. The player's current soul strength is higher than S-level, immune to this negative effect.]
The light of the soul fire dispelled the coldness in the surroundings and illuminated the surroundings.
"Be careful."
Stimulated by the aura of living people, the frozen vengeful spirits continued to spill out from the surrounding rock walls. The Ice Bones also staggered out of the surrounding shadows.
Fang Heng controlled the Lickers and the Ice Bones to pounce forward.
The federal team immediately gathered together to counterattack.
Fortunately, the density of these vengeful spirits wasn't high, so the team easily dealt with them.
Zheng Yuping looked around and seemed to sense something. He raised his head and reminded Fang Heng, "Fang Heng, we're pretty lucky. This is very likely one of the entrances to the shady line!"
"Oh?"
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
Zheng Yuping had mentioned that the Holy Court had tried to completely solve the problem of the shady line a long time ago.
So the holy aura he sensed was related to the shady line?
Fang Heng quickly sensed the direction of the aura and pointed to the right. He nodded and said, "Go. Over there. Be careful and follow me."
"Keep up!"
…
They walked around for nearly half an hour.
The members of the federal team followed the Ice Bones controlled by Fang Heng and continued to explore the narrow cave passage. Along the way, they encountered several attacks from frozen vengeful spirits that suddenly overflowed from the rock walls.
Kou Ming was completely stunned. He opened the game log and frowned.
In a special environment, the game did not give any hint about the map passage.
He felt that the terrain around him was similar, as if he had been here before. He began to wonder if he had been walking around in circles all this time.
Kou Ming couldn't help but ask, "Lord Fang Heng, how much longer do we have to walk? Are we lost? I feel like I've been here before."
"Yes, the route is roughly correct."
Fang Heng replied after some thought, walking straight to a rock wall.
Previously, he had been circling around the area of the fluctuation by relying on his perception of the holy power.
His perception had clearly told him that he was very close to the location of the holy aura. It was nearby, but he had led the team around the surroundings several times, and he still could not find the entrance no matter how hard he tried.
Therefore, it was very likely that his search route was wrong.
There was no entrance at all!
Fang Heng stood in front of the stone wall and sized it up for a moment.
"Everyone, step back a little."
Zheng Yuping's expression turned serious, and he immediately signaled his team to take a few steps back, leaving enough space for Fang Heng to use his skills.
He could not care less at this moment. He believed that great strength would create miracles!
Fang Heng raised his fist and punched the rock wall in front of him.
"Bang!"
There was a dull sound of hitting.
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
His fist struck the rock wall, leaving a deep fist mark. The broken gravel brushed past Fang Heng's cheek.
It was so hard!
The wall was very thick and solid.
That was right. The exact location of the fluctuation of the holy aura should be inside.
However, there was a long distance between them.
Fang Heng pondered and took two steps back.
Zheng Yuping picked up the gravel on the ground and examined it in his hand before walking to Fang Heng.
"Fang Heng, I think my judgment is correct. This is one of the entrances to the shady line. The stones here have become extremely hard after being invaded by the shady line. The real entrance is nearby. We have to look for it carefully."
"It's fine. There's no need. This area is just right. Let's change an easy way!"
Fang Heng looked at the rock wall in front of him and waved his hand.
After searching for more than half an hour, his patience was almost worn out.
He would use force.
"Hmm?"
"What did he mean?" Zheng Yuping wondered.
Under the confused gazes of Zheng Yuping and the Federation soldiers, the zombie clones behind them walked up one by one.
The zombie clones stood in front of the rock wall, raised the pickaxes in their hands, and started digging.
"Bang! Bang!"
Immediately, the sound of knocking and digging rang out in the passage.
Zheng Yuping silently shut his mouth and retreated.
"Right, Lord Fang Heng still had this plan," he thought.
It was also like this back at the bone graveyard…
Everyone on the federal team reacted.
As the cave was relatively small, Fang Heng had chosen the largest open space and the largest rock wall to excavate.
Even so, there were only 20 to 30 zombie clones that could squeeze into a row and dig.
A moment later, the zombie clones dug a hole in the wall.
The narrow terrain and the hardness of the rock walls had brought great obstacles to the excavation, so the excavation efficiency was very slow.
After waiting for a good hour, Kou Ming heard the sound of rocks falling from the depths of the passage.
"It's here!"
When the surrounding players heard this voice, their eyes lit up and they immediately gathered around.
"Yes, let's go."
Fang Heng looked at the game log and led the way into the newly dug passage.
After following the passage for more than ten meters, a relatively large cave appeared behind them.
Fang Heng was the first to step inside.
There was no entrance to the cave, and the surrounding walls were covered in dense rune marks.
Zheng Yuping followed Fang Heng into the cave. He looked up and around, and his face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.

1443 Holy Spike
"It seems that this area is one of the entrances to the shady line. The special rune on the surrounding walls can offset a portion of the aura leaking out of the shady line."
Fang Heng also observed the rune and frowned. "Yes, it's a special rune mark that belongs to the Holy Court."
"From the information we've gathered, the Holy Court had once thought of completely sealing the shady line and purifying the world of Punoze. However, the Sacred Court seemed to have failed with the Necromancer Association intervening. They left Punoze completely, but there's no telling what exactly happened."
Kou Ming noticed something and pointed to the corner of the cave. "Look over there. What's that on the ground?"
In the corner of the cave was a circle like a magic array.
A circle of spikes was nailed onto the outer circle.
Fang Heng turned his gaze to the magic array.
The holy aura he had sensed earlier was coming from the surroundings of the magic array.
But what exactly was this thing?
"Eh? This seems to be…"
Zheng Yuping felt that he had some recollection of this place. As he spoke, he slowly approached the circle of magic array.
Suddenly, the silver spikes that had been nailed into the ground began to flicker and crackle.
Zheng Yuping immediately felt an electric shock and quickly took two steps back.
"Just as I thought!"
His eyes lit up as he turned to Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, we've found a treasure. These are magic weapons left behind by the Holy Court. They have great restraining power against the undead. They're also used to seal the passage to the shady line. They should have been left by the Holy Court many years ago."
"Hmm?"
Fang Heng also walked to Zheng Yuping's side to observe and asked, "So how do we enter the shady line? Destroy it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the game hint appeared on the retina of Fang Heng and the other members of Zheng Yuping's team.
[Hint: The player team has triggered a special mission: The magic weapon left behind by the Holy Court.]
[Mission name: Magical Weapon left behind by the Holy Court]
[Mission difficulty: B]
[Mission description: You have discovered a magic weapon left behind by the Holy Court during your trial in Frost Hell. This magic weapon has great power. Please record the location of the magic weapon and return to the Frost Fortress to report to the City Lord.]
[Mission requirements: Lead the City Lord's team back and retrieve the magic weapon left behind by the Holy Court.]
[Failure penalty: None]
Kou Ming's eyes lit up when he finished reading the game hint.
Missions!
And 100,000 mission points!
That was a huge profit!
Kou Ming looked at Fang Heng and Zheng Yuping with excitement.
With Fang Heng's help, it was possible for them to get a Tier 6 orange crystal.
Zheng Yuping also felt happy and couldn't help looking at Fang Heng.
"We've made a huge profit. One hundred thousand points can be exchanged for five orange crystals. There are also follow-up missions that can obtain even more points."
Fang Heng glanced at the mission. His mood did not fluctuate much.
He came here to farm purple crystals of the highest level.
Such a reward was dispensable.
"So, how do we enter the shady line?"
"Let's go back to the Frost Fortress and find the Lord of Undead City to complete the mission. He will send someone to follow us to deal with the seal. After the seal is completed, we will be able to find the entrance that is sealed by the magic weapon. The follow-up mission is probably related to under the entrance."
Fang Heng frowned as he listened.
How troublesome.
He still had to run back.
After going back and forth, their trial was probably about to end.
In the end, he could only manage to obtain a sixth-tier crystal at best.
Wouldn't it be too much of a loss?
When would he be able to get a Tier 7 crystal at this speed?
Every time the Frost Hell opened, it would take a month.
Fang Heng's gaze focused on a circle of silver spikes on the ground not far away and asked, "So if we can get rid of these spikes, we can also follow into the shady line to take a look?"
"What? Is there a need for us to do it ourselves? The reward might expire."
Zheng Yuping was stunned for a moment and frowned. "Theoretically, yes. I haven't tried it before, so I can't say for sure. However, World Lord, this thing left behind by the Holy Court is very dangerous. You have to be careful."
"I see."
Fang Heng nodded and tried to approach the circle of silver holy weapons.
Everyone from the federal team could not help but look at Fang Heng when they saw this, and their breathing could not help but become heavy.
Kou Ming's heart was in his throat. He couldn't understand.
They could've easily completed the mission and even triggered the follow-up mission, easily obtaining a sum of brilliant crystals.
However, Fang Heng did not seem to be satisfied with the current situation.
Eh?
As he read, Kou Ming's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Fang Heng actually slowly approached the circle of silver spikes left behind by the Holy Court until he squatted down beside them.
Unlike when Zheng Yuping approached, the magic weapon of the Holy Court did not react at all.
"Chi!"
Just as Fang Heng reached out to touch the silver spike, the spike suddenly emitted a ray of light.
Fang Heng felt a pain in his fingers as if he had been electrocuted. A wisp of green smoke burned between his fingers, and he immediately retracted his hand.
[Hint: Player received damage from Holy Spike, -6711]
What a high damage value.
Fang Heng took a look at the game hint and retracted his hand.
Originally, he wondered if he could pull out the silver spike and get another wave of Holy Court magic weapons while unsealing the shady line.
Helplessly, he did not get what he wanted.
He had already switched to his sacred form before approaching, but he was still affected by the holy spike when he wanted to pull it out.
Was it because of the rune on the wall and the magic array on the ground?
Fang Heng didn't continue but observed the surrounding magic array.
The game hint appeared on his retina again.
[Hint: The player's alchemy level has not reached the required level. Unable to obtain relevant information.]
His alchemy level was not high enough to crack it.
Then he would temporarily record the contents and get someone to help him take a look when he returned.
[Hint: You are trying to memorize the magic array…]
Fang Heng tried to memorize the magic array in the entire area before standing up again.
Zheng Yuping saw him standing up again after studying for more than ten minutes. He couldn't help but ask, "Fang Heng, how is it?"
"Mm, it's okay, it's all right."
Seeing the eagerness on Fang Heng's face, Zheng Yuping could not help but remind him, "Fang Heng, this is a special alchemy magic array. It can't be directly destroyed by external forces, or it might cause a big explosion."
"Yes, I know."
Since the alchemy magic array couldn't be cracked and he could not directly pull it out, so he could only use that move.
Fang Heng nodded and flicked his wrist.
"Buzzing…"
The Book of Oaths floated in the air.
A dark golden light illuminated the cave.
What was going on?
When Zheng Yuping and the others saw Fang Heng take out the Book of Creation of the Holy Court, their expressions became extremely interesting.
Book of Creation?
Fang Heng?
Was he from the Holy Court?
No!

1444 Absorption
They had clearly seen Fang Heng use all sorts of undead abilities.
Could it be…
Everyone looked at each other, and an answer immediately rose in their hearts, making them feel a little terrified.
Cultivating the sacred study and the necromancy at the same time!
Dual cultivation of two elements was nothing, but cultivating two opposing elements at the same time was too crazy!
"Swoosh!"
Under everyone's astonished gazes, the Book of Oaths in Fang Heng's hand once again emitted a gentle golden light.
In front of Fang Heng, the Holy Court's magical weapon that had been nailed to the ground was undergoing a substantial change.
Golden light gradually rose from the magic weapon and continuously emerged from it.
The golden light floated in mid-air and was controlled by an unknown strength. It floated toward the Book of Oaths in Fang Heng's hand and slowly merged into it.
The Book of Oaths' additional skill was energy absorption!
[Hint: Your Book of Oaths has absorbed the energy of Holy Light, and the energy point of your Book of Oaths increased…]
In just a short while, as the game hints kept popping up, the energy point in Fang Heng's Book of Oaths quickly recovered.
In just a short moment, it recovered to full value!
Tsk!
It was a bit of a loss.
The magic weapon left behind by the Holy Court was definitely valuable. In less than a minute, it had filled up the previous loss of the Book of Oaths.
The Book of Oaths could not store the excess holy power, which could only be wasted.
Helplessly, there was no time to think about other ways to store energy. Fang Heng continued to control the Book of Oaths to absorb the holy power in the magic weapon.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the federal team, as the specks of light were absorbed, the silver spikes that pierced the ground gradually became rusty and decayed. They constantly made weak cracking sounds until they completely lost their strength and became scrap metal.
Fang Heng put away the Book of Oaths, walked forward, and pulled out a spike.
[Item: worn-out magic weapon (expired)]
[Description: unknown item]
[Description: This item has lost its strength.]
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes again, raised his fist, and punched at the center of the circle of spikes.
"Boom!"
A muffled sound.
"Bang!"
The ground cracked!
A passage leading downward was revealed in the middle of the sealing circle that was originally surrounded by the spikes.
Suddenly, a visible and even colder aura emanated from below the entrance of the passage.
The magic array on the entire rock wall was triggered and was faintly discernible.
Everyone carefully gathered around and looked at Fang Heng. Then, they lowered their heads and looked at the pit in front of Fang Heng, which was constantly emitting a white and cold aura. They hurriedly poured the potion into their mouths.
Kou Ming's heart started beating faster.
Was it really settled?
So this was the entrance to the shady line?
While they were thinking, the game hint appeared in their retinas again.
[Hint: The player has failed to acquire the magical weapon left behind by the Holy Court. There is no penalty for failure.]
Fang Heng stood up and nodded to Zheng Yuping and the rest. He explained, "The entrance should be below. Let's go down and take a look."
Before Zheng Yuping could answer, he suddenly frowned and took two steps back. He loudly reminded, "Be careful!"
Due to the unsealing of the magic array, the frozen vengeful spirits under the shady line directly flowed out from the ground!
A group of over 20 frozen vengeful spirits emerged from the ground beneath everyone's feet. There were even a few elites among them.
Everyone from the federal team retreated and used their soul spears to deal with the frozen vengeful spirits.
Under Fang Heng's control, the Ice Bones followed suit.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and brandished his Dagger of Sin again.
The level of the frozen vengeful spirits of the shady line was higher than outside, and one-third of them were elite-level high-strength creatures!
Alright!
Elite creatures were indeed a little troublesome to deal with, but they could provide more soul power for recovery when killed!
Very soon, the wave of frozen vengeful spirits that had seeped out from the ground of the shady line was quickly eliminated with the cooperation of the Federation and Fang Heng.
The first wave of attacks had just ended, and before Zheng Yuping's team could catch their breath, more frozen vengeful spirits began to emerge from the ground.
Fang Heng weaved through the crowd of frozen vengeful spirits, constantly brandishing the Dagger of Sin in his hand to kill.
As he continued to kill, Fang Heng observed the situation of the frozen vengeful spirits.
The strength of the frozen vengeful spirits had increased. The reason why they kept overflowing from the ground might be related to the destruction of the Holy Court's seal.
Not good.
The entrance to the shady line was very narrow, and the entire cave wasn't very big.
In addition, there were vengeful spirits spilling out from the walls and floor, making it easy for the enemy to surround them.
Fang Heng wasn't afraid of going down alone. He could just enter the passage and investigate. However, it would be too dangerous for Zheng Yuping and the others to go down together.
Fang Heng was still alright, but the federal team players could no longer hold on.
An endless stream of frozen vengeful spirits flowed out, and there was no sign of them stopping. Moreover, the entire cave was not large. If they were not careful, they would be easily annihilated.
This was not the most troublesome part.
The frost-white shady aura that constantly seeped out of the hole in the ground caused them a lot of trouble. Every second, a small amount of HP would be deducted, and various attributes would also be reduced.
They could still resist for a short period, but it would definitely be bad if it lasted for a long time.
Zheng Yuping saw Fang Heng's dilemma and suggested, "Fang Heng, why don't you go down and take a look first? The few of us will retreat and wait outside the entrance. These vengeful spirits are endless. It will be dangerous for us to go down together."
Fang Heng had the same thought and nodded. "Okay, let's do that. I'll go down and take a look at the situation first."
Hearing this, Kou Ming threw the light green soul crystal kept in his backpack to Fang Heng.
"World Lord, take this. It might be useful."
Fang Heng raised his hand to receive the crystal, and his heart moved.
It was the soul crystal that he had obtained from Wendy of the Rand Chamber of Commerce when he entered the Frost Hell before.
The crystal would take effect immediately when placed in the backpack. It could reduce one's life aura and the probability of being attacked by ordinary undead creatures.
The negative effect was a penalty of 10% movement speed-down.
He didn't expect to really have the chance to use it.
[Hint: Player has obtained an item: unknown soul stone]
After he put the soul stone into his backpack, the surrounding normal-level frozen vengeful spirits immediately ignored Fang Heng and turned their target to the other members of Fang Heng's group.
"Good! You guys retreat first!"
After Fang Heng said that, he immediately stepped into the cave in front of him and followed the passage that gradually slanted down to explore deeper.
Soon, he entered the area below the shady line.
An icy aura attacked again!
Fang Heng's sea of consciousness was stimulated and once again triggered a warm aura, dispelling the bone-chilling coldness that spread into his sea of consciousness through his body.
At the same time, a game hint popped up on Fang Heng's retina.
[Hint: The player has entered a special environment. The player is affected by the aura of the shady line. Based on the strength of the player's soul power, all of the player's basic attributes have been reduced by 5%. The player loses 50 HP per second (This HP loss ignores defense).]

1445 White Frost
"Shady line aura…"
What a troublesome negative effect!
Fang Heng muttered to himself. At the same time, he sized up his surroundings and activated his hidden skill to reduce his aura.
Fortunately, Deng Yuping and the others did not catch up. Only he could rely on the Undead's HP recovery effect to tank the attacks.
After entering the shady line, there was a narrow and winding passage in front of the entrance.
In the passage, there were Ice Bones and frozen vengeful spirits.
There was no lack of elite-level Creature among them.
Fortunately, the soul crystal in his backpack had taken effect, and with the effect of the active hidden skill that Fang Heng had released, the undead creatures still stood rooted to the ground without moving.
"I can't rush it. Take it slow," Fang Heng muttered to himself.
He picked up the dagger of sin and slowly moved forward, dealing with the undead creatures piled up in the passage one by one.
…
"Chi!"
The dagger of sin sliced through the frozen vengeful spirit's body, leaving a trail of white frost.
[Hint: Player has used Skill-dagger rapid strike (possession skill), causing 831*5 skill damage to the frozen vengeful spirit (elite-level). The Additional skill of the player's dagger-soul burning has taken effect, causing an additional 532*10*10 soul-burning damage to the soul body. The player has killed the frozen vengeful spirit (elite-level). The player has obtained intermediate soul ice crystal*3.]
Boom!
The elite-level frozen vengeful spirit exploded in front of Fang Heng, scattering into blue tiny spots in the air.
Whoosh! Swoosh!
The blue tiny spots of soul power were quickly absorbed into the dagger in Fang Heng's hand.
"How troublesome…" Fang Heng whispered.
This path was harder than he had imagined.
The passage was packed with undead creatures, and the roof was very low. It was impossible to fly, so Fang Heng had to clear them himself.
With the significant effects of soul crystal and hidden skill stacked effect, the hostility of the undead creature was greatly reduced. Elite-level undead creatures would only attack when one was very close to them.
Even so, Fang Heng still spent a lot of time.
Fang Heng looked into the distance.
An exit?
After passing through a few Ice Bones, an empty passage appeared not far ahead.
Good!
Fang Heng was in somewhat higher spirits.
After patiently dealing with the five Ice Bones blocking his way, Fang Heng stood at the exit of the passage and sighed heavily.
"Finally."
It felt like he was in jail.
After passing through the exit of the narrow passage, there was a relatively protruding platform in front of him, with an extremely vast below.
Fang Heng looked down with a solemn expression.
The passage ahead was even more dangerous!
At a glance, there was a dense mass of Ice Bones below. It was like a white sea of bones, and there was no end to it.
From time to time, a few frozen vengeful spirits were born from the white sea of bones.
The frozen vengeful spirits did not notice Fang Heng. After they were born, they floated into the air and slowly disappeared into the rock wall.
Since the Ice Bones usually moved slowly when they were not in combat, they could not penetrate most of the rock walls like frozen vengeful spirits. Therefore, a large number of Bones gathered together after they were born.
Perhaps it was because no one had come to this area for a long time. After a long time, it had finally developed into this state.
However, for Fang Heng, this part of the road was easier to walk than before.
Because the ground was very high from the rock roof, he could rely on his bat form to fly over.
Ice Bones and frozen vengeful spirits did not have any long-range skills.
Fang Heng rubbed his chin and looked at the sea of bones in front of him. He was not in a hurry to leave, but a strange thought rose in his mind.
What would it be like if he could leave his spirit brand on such a large area of Ice Bones?
Ice Bones! Moreover, at least a quarter of them were elite-level Ice Bones!
These were his combat strength!
In terms of numbers, his zombie clone was only a drop in the ocean compared to this pile of Bones.
Fang Heng couldn't help but feel excited as he pondered in his heart.
He needed to find a way to put an opening out on the other side, keep the Ice Bones release, and then slowly leave the zombie clones outside to slowly brand…
Fang Heng immediately perked up and licked his lips.
Whoosh!
Fang Heng quickly transformed into bat form and leaped up from the high platform. He quickly flew above the rock wall and hung upside down on the rock wall.
Following that, Fang Heng opened the game log to control it.
"Yes, I'll control it and plan the entrance of the passage. I'll think of a way to lure the Ice Bones out one by one and slowly brand them. In theory, it should be feasible. I'll have to make some simple adjustments depending on the actual situation."
Fang Heng muttered to himself, then looked up at the sea of undead bones in the distance.
"Next, I have to think of a way to lure them out…"
…
At the same time, outside the passage entrance, the federal team had just left the iron mine area and was working with the Ice Bones controlled by Fang Heng to deal with the undead creatures.
As the seal of the shady line was destroyed, the speed at which the undead creatures were out gradually increased.
The two sides cooperated well, and there was no danger after they were familiar with the place.
It was just like farming monsters.
It was just that there were some skeletal creatures to cooperate with them.
Eh?
As they farmed, Kou Ming realized that something was wrong.
The zombie clones who had been quietly waiting to watch the show on the side began to move one by one. They raised the pickaxes in their hands and gathered around the entrance of the passage, starting to dig into the rock wall in front of them.
What the hell?
Did they want to dig the rock wall open?
Everyone from the Federation exchanged glances with each other. Their eyes revealed a puzzled and confused expression.
The zombies were obviously controlled by Fang Heng.
So what did Fang Heng want to do?
Did he want to completely expand the passage?
Deng Yuping frowned and called for everyone to focus. "Everyone, focus! Ignore the zombies for now and focus on the vengeful spirits."
"Yes, sir!"
Kou Ming agreed quickly, but he couldn't help but pay attention to the zombies nearby.
Soon, the passage leading to the exit was gradually expanded. He noticed the group of zombies crowding over and standing guard at the side of the exit as if they were waiting for something.
Eh?
Coming!
Kou Ming's heart skipped a beat.
An Ice Bones staggered out of the passage.
"Chi! Chi, chi, chi!"
Before the player team could do anything, countless vines on the right side of the cave enveloped the Ice Bones!
The Ice Bones struggled for a while before it was firmly bound by the vines and dragged to the side.
A dark aura rose from the palms of the other zombies and slowly floated toward the Ice Bones controlled by the vines.
"What the hell is this?"
Kou Ming swallowed his saliva cautiously when he saw the Ice Bones walking out of the passage constantly and receiving the binding of the vine zombies and spirit brand.
So this thing could also be farmed?

1446 The Passage
In the passage, after the assembly line was set up, Fang Heng used the flying ability of the vampire's bat form to continue moving forward along the dense sea of white bones.
In other words, he was bullying the skeletal creatures because they could not fly and did not have the ability to remote attack.
There were simply too many Ice Bones below!
After flying at high speed for more than ten minutes, there was still a dense of bones below. There was no end to it.
Fang Heng felt that he had overestimated himself.
With his current soul power, he could not pack these bones away.
He could only farm as much as he could.
Elite-level undead bones had extraordinary combat strength.
Fang Heng didn't think about anything else and continued flying forward.
After flying at high speed for more than half an hour, Fang Heng raised his head and looked ahead.
There it was!
Not far away, there was another protruding rock platform.
Was it the exit?
Fang Heng immediately adjusted his body and flew toward the high platform.
Someone was there?
Just as he stepped onto the high platform and had yet to return to his human form, Fang Heng heard someone's voice coming from the front of the high platform.
Humans?
Who could it be?
Was it also one of the people who participated in this Hunting Day?
There was a group of people walking toward him.
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, but he did not return to his human form immediately. Instead, he quickly concealed his body and hung upside down on the rock roof, hiding in the shadows and carefully observing.
There was a large open space on the high platform. In the distance, a large team was discussing and slowly approaching him.
Fang Heng hid in the dark and listened to their conversation. He guessed that they were also there to participate in the Frost Hell Hunting Day.
It looked like their team was huge, with a total of fifty to sixty people.
Eh?
Fang Heng couldn't help but let out a soft gasp when he saw the team clearly after they got closer.
He was surprised to find that this group of people seemed to have used some special tool to open an invisible barrier around the team.
The frozen vengeful spirits and Ice Bones outside the barrier ignored their team's presence.
How did they do it?
Was it also because of the soul crystal's effect?
"It seems to be isolating the aura as well."
Fang Heng observed carefully and found that the barrier had some kind of effect of isolating the aura. It did not have any offensive or defensive effects.
Once undead creatures entered the barrier, they would immediately attack the team.
Due to the dense density of the undead creatures in the passage, the team couldn't completely avoid them. Even with the barrier, the team still had to clear out the undead creatures in front of them. As a result, their speed of moving forward was limited.
Despite his curiosity, Fang Heng thought it was better to avoid trouble.
Right now, he had made too many enemies in this area, so it was better to keep a low profile.
He had originally planned to wait for the group of people to leave before going out to take a look. He did not expect that when the group of people passed through the passage below, their discussion would reach his ears again.
"Gano should have started as well, right? Gano's personality is not calm enough. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it if he leads the team over…"
"Why? It's just the Rand Chamber of Commerce. We've investigated them many times. They don't have many guards. Moreover, they don't even know what the soul crystal is for."
Hmm?
Were they talking about the Rand Chamber of Commerce?
Fang Heng frowned and immediately felt that something was wrong. He pricked up his ears and continued to eavesdrop on what they were saying.
Another middle-aged man with a full beard on the team said mockingly, "You still have the cheek to say that? If it weren't for some idiot who offered to buy the soul crystal at a high price last time, Wendy wouldn't have noticed that something was wrong. We would have gotten the soul crystal long ago, and there wouldn't be so many problems later."
Soul stone?
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat again.
Was it the soul stone that Wendy had given him?
From the meaning of these people's words, they seemed to want this soul stone very much.
"Don't worry, I've already spread the word that we'll be targeting Fang Heng here. The people from the Rand Chamber of Commerce will never think that our target isn't Fang Heng, but the soul stone in their hands. Looking at the time, Gano should have already made his move. By the time when we finish dealing with these things along the way, Gano will be almost just in time to come and join us."
Fang Heng frowned and wanted to continue listening, but the few people in front of him had already gone further and further away. They gradually entered the passage in front of them, and their voices became even more blurry and difficult to recognize.
Helplessly, Fang Heng flew closer and tried to catch up.
This group of people seemed to have noticed something. They slowed down and stopped in front of a rock wall at the end of the road, guarding the surroundings.
Fang Heng did not dare to get too close, so he observed from afar.
Eh?
The group seemed to have manipulated something on the rock wall, and the rock wall moved to the sides, revealing an inward passage opening.
After everyone had entered the wall, the passage opening closed again and returned to its original state.
"Is it a secret passage? Interesting…"
Fang Heng was even more curious. He descended from the sky and transformed back into his human form, landing in front of the rock wall to observe.
The rock wall was extremely sturdy.
There was no obvious gap with the naked eye.
How could he open the passage opening?
Fang Heng looked around again.
There were no traces of any traps at all.
"Strange, how did they enter the secret passage?"
No!
Fang Heng was muttering to himself as he carefully recalled the conversation between the group of people just now. He realized that there might be trouble at the Rand Chamber of Commerce.
The path ahead was blocked by a huge rock wall, and he couldn't find the exit for the time being. The zombie clones couldn't be summoned there to dig a passage for him in a short time.
Fang Heng didn't even know who his enemy was.
No, he had to go back to the Rand Chamber of Commerce first.
With that thought, Fang Heng transformed into his bat form again.
Since the enemy had cleared a small number of undead creatures along the way, Fang Heng could easily determine their route.
Fang Heng immediately followed their movements and went back in the opposite direction.
He continued forward along the passage!
Relying on the rapid flight ability of the bat form and the life aura isolation ability of the soul stone, Fang Heng flew quickly in the cave for more than 20 minutes before entering a huge cave that was more than ten times wider.
He had arrived!
It was the exit area!
Inside the giant-sized cavern, many player teams and NPC teams were clearing out the undead creatures purposefully.
The teams were clearly separated by a certain distance. They were farming monsters in the iron mine and were on guard against each other.
Fang Heng returned to his human form and put on a mask.
This area should be one of the main entrances to the underground shady line. Many teams had chosen to farm monsters there.
Many players noticed Fang Heng who had suddenly appeared and cast him probing gazes, wondering why he was alone there.
Fang Heng ignored everyone's probing gazes and followed the crowded place to find the exit to the outside world.
He was going to the Rand Chamber of Commerce!
Fang Heng took out the map and glanced at it briefly, then immediately rushed toward the valley where the Rand Chamber of Commerce was located.

1447 Besieged
The Rand Chamber of Commerce was in the periphery area of the Frost Hell.
It was in the middle of a certain valley.
The Rand Chamber of Commerce was surrounded by undead creatures.
From the very beginning, the Rand Chamber of Commerce had no intention of competing with the other large chambers of commerce during the Hunting Day. They were cautious and didn't dare to make any big moves. After entering the Frost Hell, they immediately went to a very small gathering area.
Little did they expect to be ambushed by members of the Culodi Trading Company.
There were only three exits in the entire valley. By the time the Rand Chamber of Commerce reacted, they were already surrounded by a large number of undead creatures.
Wendy's face was solemn. She looked at the people from the Culodi Trading Company who had gathered not far away and said in a deep voice, "City Lord has ordered that no one is allowed to kill each other in the Frost Hell. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the City Lord once you leave?"
"Huh? Held accountable?"
A young man walked out from the crowd outside with an arrogant smile on his face. "Being held accountable? What for? You guys just miscalculated the situation. You were accidentally surrounded by the undead creatures and died in the valley. What does it have to do with our Culodi Trading Company?"
Wendy bit her lip.
She knew that young man. He was the next generation nurtured by the Culodi Trading Company. His name was Gano. Some time ago, he had made all kinds of obstacles in the open and the dark, causing a considerable impact on their business.
Elisa looked worried as she whispered, "Wendy, they seem to be able to control these undead creatures and want to use them against us."
"Alright."
Outside, more and more undead creatures were swarming into the valley.
The huge soul stone that the Rand Chamber of Commerce brought along could reduce the attack probability of the surrounding undead creatures. But there were too many undead creatures around. So the effect was greatly reduced.
Helplessly, the team gathered in the center and relied on the burning soul flame to weaken the strength of the surrounding undead creatures.
However, soul flame required fuel and a continuous supply of mental strength from the team.
When the flame burned out, they would definitely be swallowed by the surrounding undead creatures.
Wendy focused her gaze on the Culodi Trading Company members in the distance. "Our Rand Chamber of Commerce has always done business in an honest manner. Even if we have some business conflicts with you, there's no need to be so ruthless, right?"
"Haha. Done business in an honest way?"
Gano seemed to have heard something very funny and couldn't help but laugh. "So you still don't know anything. Idiots. You are really idiots. You don't even know how you will die."
A few months ago, she had a vague feeling that several major Chamber of Commerce were targeting them.
At first, she thought that the major Chamber of Commerce felt that the Rand Chamber of Commerce had developed too quickly in the past few years and had reached an agreement with each other to kick them out.
But now, it seemed like it wasn't just that.
Gano's intuition told him that he had the situation under control. He was a little carried away by his pride and could not help but taunt, "You bunch of idiots. You don't even know that the stone in your hands is a treasure."
What stone?
Elisa turned around in surprise and looked at the soul stone placed beside the soul flame.
This stone was probably found by Elisa and Wendy a few months ago when they were tidying up the old family warehouse.
The Rand Chamber of Commerce used to be in the pawn business. And they had found many pawned items in the old warehouse.
Like other items, the stone was unclaimed after hundreds of years and automatically belonged to the Rand Chamber of Commerce.
Wendy asked someone to study the stone and found that it had the effect of concealing the aura of life form. Besides its weight, it could be said to be extremely useful.
At the moment, they relied on the life aura-shielding effect of the stone to prevent the nearby horde of undead creatures from becoming even more frenzied.
Did it have other unknown properties?
Was this the reason why the Culodi Trading Company was targeting them everywhere?
Several thoughts flashed through Wendy's mind. And then she immediately said in a deep voice, "I'll give you the stone if you let us go."
"Heh. Now do you want to obediently hand it over? Unfortunately, it's a little too late. I don't want to be entangled with your Rand Chamber of Commerce in the future."
Gano sneered. "You should have agreed when I asked someone to buy your stone at a high price. Who made you so greedy?"
Elisa focused her mind and continuously poured her mental strength into the soul flame. She whispered, "Wendy, the soul flame can only last for two hours at most. The longer we delay, the more undead creatures there will be. While we still have combat strength, we should think of a way to escape as soon as possible."
"Just wait a little longer. The signal has been sent out. Wait a bit longer."
Wendy replied in a low voice, "I'm getting people to prepare. Their target is the stone. When we leave, I'll destroy the stone. When the time comes, we should take the shrapnel and escape separately. The shrapnel can block our aura and evade the undead attacks. When we retreat, you don't have to worry about me. Go alone first. We'll make it out as many as we can."
Gano saw the few of them talking softly and sneered. "What? Do you still want someone to save you? That Fang Heng? Don't waste your time. They've already ventured deep into the Frost Hell. Our people have been watching them all this time. It's impossible for them to come back in time. So, it's better for you to be obedient. The sooner you give up resisting, the sooner we'll finish this."
As he spoke, a subordinate hurried over and whispered something in Gano's ear.
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Gano was stunned when he heard that. He then turned around to look at the back of the team.
A commotion broke out at the rear of the team.
In the distance, a large number of Ice Bones attracted by the holy aura had been stimulated by something. They ignored the aura barrier around them and directly attacked the Culodi Trading Company members.
The Culodi Trading Company was caught off guard by the attack. For a moment, they were caught off guard. And some minor chaos appeared in the team.
Different from before, the pupils of this group of Ice Bones flickered with scarlet soul flames.
What was going on?
"Bring me over to take a look!"
Ignoring the besieged Rand Chamber of Commerce, Gano personally rushed towards the rear of the team. And he discovered that a large number of out-of-control Ice Bones had appeared behind them. They stumbled into the barrier area and engaged the team in battle.
"Get lost! Stay away from me!"
Gano frowned and shouted as he poured his mental strength into the dark green rune stone in his hand again.
A buzzing sound came over.
The rune stone emitted a faint light, enveloping the team with a transparent shield.
It was actually ineffective.
Why was that?
Gano fiddled with the green rune stone in his hand and suddenly panicked.
Why was it ineffective?
What was wrong?
Not far away, Fang Heng had been hiding in the dark.
He had been here for more than ten minutes and had been observing the situation.
Gano's team used the silver nail magic tool they had seen before to set up a small magic array near the entrance of the valley. Through the magic array, the holy aura was guided into the center of the valley where the Rand Chamber of Commerce team was located.
Large numbers of Ice Bones and frozen vengeful spirits nearby were attracted by the holy aura.
Then, Gano used the green stone in his hand to create a special barrier around the area.
The undead creatures seemed to be unable to sense the presence of Gano's team after being attracted here. So they attacked the Ed Chamber of Commerce members in the valley.

1448 Surrounded
"What a good tactic."
Fang Heng rubbed his chin. While he agreed with the opponent's tactics, he was also a little curious.
What was the origin of the green stone in Gano's hand?
The team he had encountered in the underground shady line could also open a barrier to avoid the attacks of the undead creatures.
Did he also rely on that strange green stone?
He wondered if the barrier effect would work on all undead creatures.
It would be best if they could snatch one over to take a look.
Knowing the opponent's tactical arrangements, it was very easy to deal with them.
After Fang Heng investigated the situation, he tried to cast the undead skeleton summoning skill not far away. He summoned a piece of Ice Bones and mixed it with the normal undead creatures, pretending to be attracted by the holy aura and taking the opportunity to approach.
It was obvious that the other party's barrier could only block the aura.
The Culodi Trading Company never expected that someone would choose to control the Ice Bones to mix with the normal undead creatures. They simply did not have time to react.
By the time they discovered the danger, it was already too late.
Under Fang Heng's deliberate control, the Ice Bones easily entered the barrier and launched a surprise attack on the team.
The entire team was thrown into chaos.
The Culodi Trading Company members had experimented countless times. And countless lessons had taught them that the soul crystal rune stone could block the senses of undead creatures. As long as they stayed within the barrier, they would be safe.
Why was it ineffective today?
Gano kept trying to activate the green stone in his hand. He was so anxious that sweat was about to drip from his forehead.
The stone was still ineffective.
Why was it ineffective?
The Culodi Trading Company had brought quite a number of combatants this time, but they were unable to deal with such a large number of Ice Bones. They were instantly thrown into disarray.
The team immediately fell into chaos.
"Understood!"
In a panic, Gano quickly called for a group of people to run to a small magic array nearby and shut it down.
The group from the Rand Chamber of Commerce, trapped deep in the valley, saw Gano and the others panicking first. They immediately revealed a look of joy.
It was a ray of hope in a desperate situation.
How could there be such a good thing?
A steward of the Rand Chamber of Commerce hurriedly suggested, "President Wendy, this is a great opportunity for us. They're in a mess now. Let's take advantage of this moment and fight to the death. We might be able to kill our way out and escape."
"Wait!"
Wendy was extremely calm. She observed the entire battlefield and reached out her hand to signal her team not to act rashly.
"Elisa, don't you think these Ice Bones are strange?"
Elisa had been preparing to fight, but she calmed down a little when she heard this. She looked at the group of Ice Bones attacking Gano's team in the distance.
What's strange?
After careful observation, a look of astonishment appeared in Elisa's eyes.
"Eh? Their eyes… they are red."
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Elisa's mind. She looked at her sister Wendy in disbelief.
Wendy also looked at Elisa.
The two of them looked at each other and said in unison, "It's skeleton summoning skill!"
There was no mistake. It was Fang Heng.
It was very likely that Fang Heng was secretly controlling these Ice Bones.
There were so many of them.
Fang Heng had mastered the skeleton summoning skill in a short period of time and even controlled so many Ice Bones.
Even though this guess was ridiculous, it was the most reasonable explanation Elisa could think of.
Elisa looked into the distance, feeling excited.
Fang Heng must have seen the distress signal they sent out earlier. So he came over to help them.
"Wait a minute."
Elisa looked at the Ice Bones in disbelief.
She had wanted to learn the skeleton summoning skill before. But she had given up because the prerequisites for learning the skill were too harsh.
First, she had to achieve a high-tier level in necromancy. Second, she had to have a very high initial soul strength.
She felt that her undead strength was her weakness, and it would be a waste even if she learned it. That was why she suggested giving it as a gift to Fang Heng, who was more suitable.
So…
Did Fang Heng have already advanced to a high-tier level in necromancy?
Just a few days ago, when she first met Fang Heng, she communicated with him and confirmed that Fang Heng was only an elementary necromancy scholar at that time!
In just a few days, he had already advanced to a high-tier level in necromancy.
What a terrifying talent.
What was even more terrifying was that Elisa could see that the eyes of the Ice Bones in the distance were filled with red soul flame.
To be able to control such a large number of Ice Bones, how strong was Fang Heng's soul power?
To be able to control so many Ice Bones in such a short period of time and leave so many soul brands, how did Fang Heng do it?
Elisa felt extremely shocked. But at the same time, she also felt extremely surprised and envious.
Wendy took a deep breath. She was now extremely glad that she had agreed to Elisa's suggestion and given Fang Heng the skeleton summoning skill.
If a young man with such potential could build a good relationship with her, the Rand Chamber of Commerce would profit greatly from this investment.
"Let's not rush."
Seeing the hope of escaping, Wendy became even calmer. She whispered, "Let's wait and see. Fang Heng hasn't shown up yet. He must have a plan. Let's wait a little longer."
Fang Heng's potential and strength had far exceeded her expectations.
Since Fang Heng was able to control a large number of Ice Bones and gain the initiative, they did not need to take such a huge risk to break out of the encirclement.
The safest choice was to stay where they were and burn the soul flame to wait for Fang Heng's support.
In the distance, contrary to the situation with the Rand Chamber of Commerce, Gano felt like he was about to go insane.
He had clearly stopped the operation of the small magic array. But something strange happened.
The influx of Ice Bones from the outside not only didn't decrease but rather increased.
Moreover, the Ice Bones ignored the barrier effect. They showed no interest in anyone else and just chased after their team to attack.
The pressure on the Culodi Trading Company was increasing, and casualties were already occurring.
Cold sweat broke out on Gano's forehead.
He even suspected that there was something wrong with the soul crystal rune in his hands, which might have attracted these undead creatures.
Could they really meet their end at the hands of these undead creatures today?
"Soul Fire! Hurry up and burn the soul fire!"
Boom!
After some chaos, the central bonfire of soul fire was finally ignited.
A soaring soul fire suddenly rose.
The Ice Bones that were rushing over from nearby were affected by the soul fire and gradually retreated, surrounding Gano and his team in layers.
"Damn it!"
He finally got a moment to catch his breath.
Gano gritted his teeth and looked at the Ice Bones around him, breathing heavily.
What was wrong with those Ice Bones? Why were they fixated on them?
Now, the situation seemed to have completely reversed. They were the ones surrounded by the Ice Bones.

1449 Fear of Death
"Soul bonfire…"
In the darkness not far away, Fang Heng muttered to himself. He raised his head and drank a bottle of potion, summoning another batch of Ice Bones.
In any case, the Bones' summoning spell had almost no cooldown. It only required some mental strength to be released.
This time, Fang Heng also tested the strength and potential of the Bones' summoning skill. Its strength was top-notch, and so was its potential!
As long as he had enough branded skeletal creatures in his sea of consciousness, he could summon a large number of them with a wave of his hand as his basic attribute gradually increased in the future!
The Ice Bones had a natural fear of the soul fire and would be continuously injured if they got close.
Fang Heng didn't force the Bones to continue. He watched as Gano's team was gradually surrounded and slowed down their pace of attack.
He would grind them to death slowly.
Fang Heng was very familiar with using summoned creatures to fight. In the past, he had relied on his zombie clones, but now, he had replaced them with the Ice Bones.
A familiar recipe, a familiar taste.
Seeing that the enemy was completely trapped, Fang Heng hid his body and immediately transformed into a bat. With the help of the green soul stone, he bypassed the layers of undead creatures and approached the group of people from the Ed Chamber of Commerce.
"Fang Heng!"
When Elisa saw Fang Heng flying over in his bat form not far away, she immediately greeted him in a low voice with joy on her face.
Fang Heng returned to his human form and stood in front of everyone. He looked at Elisa and the others.
"Looks like we made it in time. Is everyone okay?"
"Too timely! Thank you so much. Luckily, you came over and saved us." Elisa's attention was on the Ice Bones as she asked, "Fang Heng, were you the one who summoned those Ice Bones…"
"Yes, I still have to thank you for your skill books."
Fang Heng nodded and glanced at the area behind him from the corner of his eyes. He continued, "They're trapped and won't be able to deal with us for a while. I'll take you guys away first."
Even though they had already guessed most of it, the members of the Rand Chamber of Commerce were still deeply shocked when they saw Fang Heng come over.
How long did he take to master the Bones' summoning spell?
He had already learned to this extent?
"Alright."
Wendy quickly came back to her senses. She looked away from Fang Heng and told her team to get ready to leave.
"Quick, let's move. We're preparing to retreat."
"Yes!"
After escaping danger, the entire team was a little excited. They immediately moved to disperse the undead creatures that gathered around them and packed up their equipment and supplies to extinguish the soul bonfire.
While everyone was preparing, Fang Heng nodded to Wendy and Elisa and whispered, "I have something to ask you."
Wendy nodded and followed Fang Heng to the side.
Wendy and Elisa looked at each other after listening to Fang Heng's account of what happened in the depths of the shady line.
"The people you saw should be from the Culodi Trading Company and the other major trading companies."
He was certain that the target of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce was the huge soul crystal.
Moreover, the stone was related to the shady line of the Frost Hell.
"This stone was left behind by the great-grandfather and has always been kept in the attic of the warehouse. Ever since the great-grandfather passed away, the attic was completely sealed off. A few months ago, the warehouse was ready to be demolished and rebuilt."
Wendy pursed her lips and recalled, "Previously, a few guilds wanted to buy the stone at a high price. I felt that it was strange at that time and suspected that the stone might have unknown value, so I didn't agree. Now, it seems that it's related to the shady line."
"Yes."
Fang Heng hummed softly.
He thought to himself that Wendy didn't know about the stone and its true function.
Fang Heng continued to ask, "Think about it carefully. Did you find anything else when you found the stone?"
"Ah, I remember now!" Elisa clapped her hands and said, "There's also a stone slab that was placed in the same box as the stone. There are some traces of a magic array on it, and it's a little old. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. This type of magic array is very common. The stone slab is still stored in the new warehouse. You can find it when you go back."
Fang Heng scratched his head. It was a little troublesome. The magic array on the stone slab might be related to the shady line. Unfortunately, it was not convenient for him to go back and take a look under such circumstances.
"Fang Heng, it's not difficult to know how to use the stone."
Wendy looked at Gano's team, who was surrounded by Ice Bones, and whispered, "The leader is Gano, a scion of a noble family from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce. He is usually extremely arrogant in his dealings with the world, and his abilities are limited."
"What?"
"He is very afraid of death. We should be able to get something out of him."
"Alright."
Fang Heng looked at the trapped Gano not far away and nodded to show that he understood.
Someone who was afraid of death?
It was indeed an advantage for him.
Two guides from the Chamber of Commerce walked over and reported, "President, the team is ready. We can set off now."
Fang Heng looked at Wendy and said, "How about this, you guys take the soul stone and leave first. The Culuodi Chamber of Commerce has joined forces with several other major Chambers of Commerce to attack you. They have already shed all pretense of cordiality. It is no longer safe for you to stay in Frost Hell. You guys leave Frost Hell and leave the rest to me."
"Good!"
Wendy made a prompt decision and waved her hand to signal the team to set off. She nodded and said, "You be careful too."
After watching Wendy leave with the Chamber of Commerce and the large soul stone, Fang Heng turned around and quickly approached Gano's team.
At this moment, Gano and the guards he brought were gathered around the burning soul bonfire.
Gano kept praying that these crazy Ice Bones would quickly recover and run away from them as far as possible!
However, the prayer failed.
The Ice Bones had no intention of leaving. On the contrary, more and more Bones crowded towards them.
The members of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce didn't dare to leave the area where the soul fire was burning.
One of his subordinates suddenly noticed something and reminded him, "Boss, the Rand Chamber of Commerce is about to run away."
Gano clenched his teeth, unable to speak for a long time.
How could he not have seen the Rand Chamber of Commerce's big move?
Take advantage of this opportunity to slip away right under their noses!
However, the Bones around them didn't seem to be interested in the Rand Chamber of Commerce at all.
What could he do? Or should he bring his men and charge over to fight the Rand Chamber of Commerce? Was this enough to stop the Rand Chamber of Commerce from escaping?
Gano could only hope that his business partners in the nearby Chambers of Commerce would be notified and come to support him as soon as possible.
It was already good enough that he could successfully escape from the encirclement of the Ice Bones!
How could he still have the mood to care about the Rand Chamber of Commerce?
Eh?
Just as he was thinking, Gano suddenly noticed that the area in front of the team where a large number of Ice Bones had gathered was gradually spreading to the sides, opening up a narrow path.

1450 The Reason
What was going on?
The strange situation of the Ice Bones made Gano's heart skip a beat. He immediately signaled for the team to be on guard.
"Pada, pada…"
Following the sound of light footsteps, a young man walked out from the passage made by the Bones.
Gano's heart trembled when he saw that person's face. His eyes widened as he pointed at him in disbelief.
"Fang… Fang Heng?"
Fang Heng!
How could it be him?
Could it be…
It was said that Fang Heng had obtained the Bones' summoning skill book from the Rand Chamber of Commerce a few days ago.
Coupled with the strange behavior of the skeletal creatures around him, Gano couldn't help but have a terrifying thought.
Could it be that the large number of Ice Bones around them were all under Fang Heng's control?
Fang Heng stopped in his tracks. Surrounded by the Ice Bones, he moved a short distance away from Gano's party, quietly looking at the latter with an expressionless face.
"It's you! Fang Heng!"
Sweat trickled down Gano's cheeks.
Even though the other party did not move or say anything, he could feel his legs trembling.
The young man in front of him gave him too much pressure!
Gano couldn't help but shout, "You still dare to come out? You'd better take your Bones and scram now. Our Culodi Chamber of Commerce has always been vengeful. Our people are nearby and will be here soon. When the time comes…"
Fang Heng looked at Gano and coldly interrupted, "Do you want to live?"
Gano's face instantly turned deathly pale.
"Fang Heng! It was indeed you who did it! What do you want?!"
"The timing is just nice. I have a few questions for you, so I came over."
Fang Heng looked at the soul bonfire behind Gano and his group and said, "I noticed that you have a special ability that can create a barrier to isolate the outside world. I'm curious how you did it, and why you want the soul crystal stone."
Gano gritted his teeth as he said, "Don't even think about it!"
"No room for discussion?"
Fang Heng shrugged and said casually, "That's a pity. By the way, you just released a distress signal, right? Your companions should be here soon. I hope your companions can be as stubborn as you."
Gano understood Fang Heng's threat and his face turned pale. He did not want to die. He regretted rejecting him so quickly.
Gano gritted his teeth and uttered, "You will really let us go? Do you swear on your words?"
"Not everyone."
Fang Heng saw the fear on Gano's face and his expression turned even colder. He said, "Your lives are not worth that much. Two questions, and I can only let you go."
"Dream on! Even if I die, I won't…"
Gano slowly stopped and looked at Fang Heng.
What was that?
A thick book appeared in front of Fang Heng, emitting a dark golden light.
The dark golden glow that was constantly seeping out from the book made Gano feel immense pressure.
What was that? The Book of Creation?
That pressure was obviously the suppression of the holy element on the undead element!
The other members of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce also looked at Fang Heng with shock in their eyes.
He's actually a practitioner of the sacred study?
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
In the next moment, 20 golden specks of light shot out from the Book of Oaths!
Gano's pupils constricted.
What was that?!
A guard shouted, "Be careful!"
Gano only reacted when he heard this shout. He was shocked to find that the golden light spot was heading straight for him. The speed of the light spots was too fast for him to dodge effectively.
Swoosh! Swoosh swoosh!!
The specks of light brushed past Gano's shoulder at an extremely fast speed.
Just a little bit more.
The target of the attack was not him.
Gano was so scared that cold sweat broke out on his back. Before he could rejoice at his luck, he heard an explosion behind him.
"Boom! Boom Boom!!!"
Not good!
Gano's heart skipped a beat.
Turning his head, he saw the dark golden light flash past the group of guards and directly hit the burning soul bonfire behind them!
The holy remnant chapter crashed into the fiercely burning soul bonfire, immediately causing a violent explosion.
The soul fire suddenly rose!
Not good! His target was the soul bonfire!
Under the bombardment of the holy remnant chapter, the few guards of the trading firm who were pouring their spiritual power into the soul fire immediately felt their spiritual power being drained at a speed that was dozens of times faster!
"Go help them!"
The expressions of the two guides beside the bonfire changed drastically when they saw this. They immediately called for the others to come over and support them.
However, the attack power of the holy remnant chapter was too high. Before his teammates could rush over to help, a few guards who were sending spiritual power to the soul fire were instantly sucked dry!
Without the support of the spiritual power, the soul fire flickered a few times before it was extinguished.
Oh no!
The faces of everyone from the Culuodi Chamber of Commerce turned pale.
Everything happened too quickly and they had no time to react. By the time they came back to their senses, the bonfire had already been extinguished!
Almost instantly, the Ice Bones that gathered around them lost their obstruction and surged toward the player team from all directions.
"Get into formation! Don't let them get close! Don't split up!"
The captain of the guards shouted.
Under the huge chaotic impact, the Culuodi Chamber of Commerce wanted to form a formation to resist, but in less than half a minute, the team was immediately scattered!
Run!!
Gano saw that the situation was not good and immediately fled. Under the cover of the two accompanying guards, he quickly ran to the right where there were fewer Ice Bones.
He sprinted forward with all his might.
Wherever there were fewer Ice Bones, he would go into the gaps.
He only wanted to live.
Gano felt like his lungs were about to explode as he continued running. He relied on his survival instincts to keep running forward!
Suddenly, Gano realized that the two bodyguards on his left and right had stopped.
"Why don't you continue…"
Gano was about to blame them when he looked up and saw the person blocking his way. The second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat.
Fang Heng and the numerous Ice Bones blocked his way. They were densely packed together, blocking all of his paths.
Without waiting for Fang Heng to speak, Gano immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.
"I'll talk! Let me go. I'll tell you everything you want to know!"
"You see, it's good to cooperate earlier. It can save a lot of trouble." Fang Heng's face was gentle as he asked, "Can you answer the question now?"
"Alright, alright. Our trading company found someone to specially make the undead aura barrier. The exact method of making it is confidential, so I don't know either. I know that the raw material for making it is soul crystals. We need a large number of soul crystals to make the barrier."
In order to save his life, Gano didn't dare to hide anything and told him everything he knew.
"About ten years ago, our trading company began researching how to enter the shady line and explore it. It was only when we found the soul crystal and used the crystal's power to create a barrier that we made a huge breakthrough."

1451 Making Use of
"About a year ago, we found a special passage under the shady line. We've been digging for more than half a year to open the passage. Some time ago, we opened the passage and found a large number of elite-level giant-sized undead creatures behind the passage."
Gano swallowed his saliva carefully and looked at Fang Heng.
"The Chambers of Commerce think that the source of the shady line is behind the passage. The remains of the City Lord's ancestors are also inside. It's possible to find treasures or something inside."
"Wait! Treasure?"
Fang Heng interrupted, raising his eyebrows, "Tell me more about the treasure."
Gano opened his mouth and said, "It's just a rumor. It's said that the Holy Court fought against us necromancers when they were fighting for this world. There was a huge battle at the source of the shady line. Both sides paid a huge price and left many treasures there. Perhaps we can still find them there."
"Yes."
Fang Heng rubbed his chin and continued asking, "Strange. Since you have the ability to open a barrier, why did you attack the Rand Chamber of Commerce?"
"The normal barrier is of a lower level and can only deal with most normal creatures and some elite creatures. Most of the creatures at the back of the passage are elite-level giant-sized creatures. The normal barrier can't guarantee the safety of the team. The Chambers of Commerce has always been looking for larger soul crystals to create a stronger barrier. Later, I heard that the Rand Chamber of Commerce has one."
"We originally wanted to work with the Rand Chamber of Commerce, but this proposal was rejected. A few trading firms felt that the Rand merchants did not have the right to do so. Moreover, they owed us so much investment in the early stages. One more person meant one more share. We then thought of a way to buy from the Rand Chamber of Commerce…"
Hearing Gano's words, Fang Heng nodded slightly, finally understanding.
"In other words, you guys are relying on tools made from soul crystals to release a higher-level barrier to avoid the perception of ordinary undead creature? Right?"
Gano nodded frantically.
"Yes, yes, yes, that's it. I promise, I swear, I didn't lie to you at all."
"Where is it?"
Gano quickly took out a green crystal and handed it to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng took the jade token.
[Hint: Player has obtained an item-soul jade crystal (small).]
[Item: Soul jade crystal (small).]
Level: Fine
Durability: 128/1000 (Unable to be repaired).
Description: Inject mental power to create a barrier (small). The barrier will block most of the life force of the creature in the area and reduce the attack of the nearby undead creatures (only effective on ordinary undead creatures and some elite undead creatures).
"Not bad."
Fang Heng put away the jade crystal and weighed it in his hand.
The quality of the jade crystal was exactly the same as the soul crystal in his backpack.
For safety reasons, Fang Heng continued to ask Gano for a few more details.
He confirmed that Gano's information matched what he had seen in the underground shady line.
There was a high chance that Gano wasn't lying to him.
Gano looked at Fang Heng and begged, "I've already told you everything I know. Can you let me go?"
Fang Heng thought for a moment.
Gano was just a small character.
Even if they let him go, the Culodi Trading Company would still deal with him.
However…
Fang Heng sized Gano up and thought of a better idea.
Gano panicked even more when he saw Fang Heng's gaze. He said, "I promise I won't tell anyone. If I reveal anything related to the shady line, the family won't let me off. Even if it's for my own sake, I won't tell anyone. Killing me won't do you any good, right? I can still stay in the trading company to provide you with information…"
"Very good. Don't do anything, understand?"
"I promise! I swear to you!"
Gano was afraid of death.
It was easy to control people who were afraid of death
Fang Heng nodded and said, "Listen to me. Not only will you not die, but you will also receive many benefits."
"Hmm?"
Under Gano's puzzled gaze, the surrounding Ice Bones gradually dispersed.
"Follow me."
Fang Heng said as he stepped forward.
"Where are we going?"
"Of course, we're going to find the people from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce. Your distress signal has been sent out, so there should be people coming to help soon, right?"
"Ah?"
Gano's expression changed again, not knowing what Fang Heng was up to.
"Don't be so nervous, relax. You should be happy that you've taken the large soul crystal stone from the hands of the Ed Chamber of Commerce."
"W-what?"
"Let's go back to the Rand Chamber of Commerce to get the soul crystal back first, then we'll meet up with your reinforcements."
Gano was utterly stunned. He turned to look at Fang Heng, his eyes full of surprise as he uttered, "Ah?"
"Yes, you were the one who stole the soul stone from the Rand Chamber of Commerce."
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and continued, "From now on, I'm the expert you invited. I'm an expert who cultivates both the study of necromancy and the sacred study. I was invited by you to explore the source of the shady line. Do you understand?"
Gano swallowed his saliva carefully, and goosebumps rose on his back again.
"You, you want…"
"Don't move."
Whoosh!
Gano watched as Fang Heng pressed his finger on his forehead.
"Weng…"
A cold breath flowed from Fang Heng's fingers into his forehead.
Gano's body immediately stiffened, not daring to move at all.
After a while, Fang Heng retracted his hand and whispered, "Alright, raise your hand and look at the back of your right hand."
Gano quickly raised his right hand.
He could clearly see a strange pattern on the back of his right hand.
Gano panicked and asked, "What did you do to me?"
"Your life is connected to the rune mark. As long as I die, you will also die. Therefore, it's best not to do anything strange, or else we won't have a good ending."
Gano suddenly felt a chill run through his body.
He had no doubts about what Fang Heng said.
In Gano's opinion, Fang Heng was not only able to control so many Ice Bones, but he was also able to use the high-level abilities of the sacred study. He had an endless stream of strange methods and was an extremely terrifying existence.
It was very reasonable for him to use such a mysterious life rune mark.
"Don't worry, the mark only lasts for seven days. After seven days, you will be free."
Looking at Gano's frightened expression, Fang Heng was quite satisfied.
In fact, he didn't know anything about the connection mark. It was just a mess of ordinary runes to deceive laymen.
It hadn't disappeared into the back of Gano's hand but had directly dissipated.
There was no practical effect at all.
However, Gano was afraid of death, so Fang Heng was sure that he wouldn't dare to take the risk.
Needless to say, Gano didn't have the time to find someone to verify the authenticity of the mark.

1452 Going Deep
Three hours later, in the underground shady line, Fang Heng met up with the backup team led by Gano and returned to the shady line with the large soul crystal. After entering the shady line, they came to the rock wall they had encountered before.
It took them another three hours.
This was on the basis that the passage below the shady line had already been cleared once. Otherwise, the team would have to spend even more time.
"They are behind the cave."
Gano carefully glanced at Fang Heng, who was wearing a human skin mask and pointed to the right side of the rock wall in front of him. He explained to Fang Heng in a low voice, "There's a mark at the entrance. Only a special runestone can open the passage."
Fang Heng had already changed into the attire of a normal necromancer. He wore a hood and disguised himself as an expert invited by Gano.
Gano was the only one on the team who knew Fang Heng's true identity.
"Hmm, where's the runestone? Open the door."
Gano shrunk his neck and waved his hand.
Behind them, a white-haired middle-aged man walked out of the team and carefully walked to the side of the rock wall, embedding a runestone into the wall.
"Ka ka ka…"
The rock wall made a slight sound and moved to the right, revealing a long passage behind it.
The depths of the passage were pitch black, and one could not see the end with the naked eye.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.
Holy aura!
The moment the passage entrance opened, a holy aura leaked out from behind.
Strange, why was there a holy aura?
Moreover, the strength of this holy power was much stronger than that of the holy weapon.
While Fang Heng was still thinking, the team had already begun to move forward.
Gano saw the hesitant Fang Heng standing at the side and walked to the side, whispering, "Fang Heng, we can go now."
"Yes." Fang Heng hummed softly and asked, "Can you feel it?"
"Holy aura."
"Oh, you mean that."
Gano quickly reacted.
The holy aura that seeped out from the depths of the passage was very strong. Even those who practiced necromancy could sense it, but it was not as strong as Fang Heng's perception.
"The holy aura is coming from the end of the passage. I suspect that it might be related to the source of the shady line. It was there when we first came in. As for the deepest part, we haven't gone in yet, so we don't know the exact situation inside."
Gano explained in a low voice, "The Chamber of Commerce's team has already entered the front. They should still be blocked in front of the elite giant creatures. We'll go and meet them now."
"Yes."
Fang Heng agreed and suppressed the doubts in his heart. He continued to move forward with the team.
The dark blue soul fire illuminated the path ahead.
At first, the passage was wide, but it became narrower and narrower at the back. It was obvious that it was man-made.
"When we first came here, the passage had already completely collapsed. It took us less than half a year to open the passage."
Due to the influence of the shady line aura, the rocks on both sides of the rock wall were extremely solid. It would take quite some time to dig such a long passage.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, the exit finally appeared in front of the passage.
There was a group of people gathered outside the exit, discussing something in low voices.
Fang Heng signaled Gano with his eyes, then secretly retreated and blended into the crowd.
Gano took a deep breath and pretended that nothing had happened. He signaled for the team behind him to follow.
"Gano, why are you so slow?"
Outside the passage passageway, the Culodi Trading Company and many other Chamber of Commerce teams had been waiting for a long time.
The few people in charge of the trading firm were dissatisfied. Seeing Gano arrive late, their tone became more accusatory.
Gano felt even angrier when he heard this, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
Who was the one who told him that Fang Heng had been staying in the depths of Frost Hell?
If it wasn't for the fact that the information given by this group of idiots was wrong, how could he have been so miserably tricked by Fang Heng?
Now, even his life was in the hands of others!
Just as he was about to argue, he saw Yatsek standing in the crowd. The anger in Gano's heart immediately dissipated and turned into worry and uneasiness.
Yacek was a powerful figure in the Culodi Trading Company and had great prestige in the Chamber of Commerce.
Just like before, he was in charge of leading the shady line this time.
Gano walked forward uneasily, his expression somewhat unnatural. With a fawning smile, he explained, "Elder, the people from the Ed Chamber of Commerce are not easy to deal with. We also encountered Fang Heng bringing people over to support us, which took a lot of time."
Yatsek frowned.
Gano glared at the people from the Chamber of Commerce behind Yatsek and seized the opportunity to complain, "It's you! The information you gave me is a problem! He was not in the depths of the Frost Hell! He even came to rescue the Rand Chamber of Commerce! He could even control a batch of Ice Bones. I almost died there!"
The people from the Chamber of Commerce were naturally not convinced.
From the moment they entered Frost Hell, they had sent people to keep an eye on Fang Heng from afar. They were very sure that Fang Heng was in the depths of the Frost Hell.
He had come to rescue the Rand Chamber of Commerce?
Could it be that Fang Heng had the ability to clone himself?
"Are you sure it was Fang Heng?"
"Impossible. Our people have been watching him. It's impossible for him to bring people over to support them."
The people from the Chamber of Commerce began to mock him in a few words, "Could it be that you're deliberately finding an excuse to push the blame on us?"
Gano's eyes widened as he tried to defend himself, "I saw Fang Heng with my own eyes. How could there be…"
"Alright! Shut up!"
When Yatsek heard the noise, his expression turned cold. He looked at Gano coldly and asked, "So you failed?"
"Not really. Fortunately, our reinforcements arrived in time and we managed to obtain the soul crystals. However, the Rand Chamber of Commerce people took advantage of the situation to create havoc, and we lost more than half of our men."
Gano gestured with his hand.
The dozen or so members of the team slowly pushed up the huge box containing the soul crystals and displayed it in front of everyone.
"Well done. The life and death of the Rand Chamber of Commerce is not important. As long as you get the soul crystal, your mission will be completed. As for why Fang Heng appeared there, we'll talk about it when we get back."
Yatsek waved his hand and his tone softened a little. He walked forward and signaled the guard to open the box to check.
The people from the various Chambers of Commerce also gathered around.
"Crack!"
The box opened, revealing a huge green stone inside.
Seeing the appearance of the soul crystal, the members of the Chambers of Commerce revealed a satisfied expression.
"Let's begin, Mr. Ambay. This soul stone should be enough, right?"
Yatsek turned his head and looked behind him.
An old man walked forward and first observed the crystal before nodding, "Perfect. With the soul stone, we can create an even stronger barrier to avoid the high-level undead creatures along the way. Give me some time and I'll be able to complete it very quickly. I still need to borrow everyone's mental strength."

1453 Great Sword
"Yes, of course."
Yatsek nodded and waved his hand to call the people from the Chambers of Commerce behind him.
"Come over and help."
Soon, under the old man's signal, a circle of necromancers gathered around the huge rock and pressed their hands on it.
Mental strength was injected.
Ambay was in charge.
The giant-sized soul crystal was stimulated, and dark patterns gradually appeared on the surface of the stone.
Fang Heng stood in the crowd and observed carefully.
Unfortunately, he was too far away and still could not tell how this group of people operated.
It seemed to be a technique related to runes.
The whole process of injecting mental strength lasted for ten minutes.
Ambay withdrew his hand.
Upon closer inspection, the giant-sized soul crystal was much brighter than before. There were even fine patterns on its surface.
Ambay checked the stone and nodded to Yatsek. He said, "That's enough. This crystal is very big, and the energy stored inside is enough for us to use for one or two years."
Yatsek stepped forward and pressed his hand on the stone.
"Buzz…"
With the activation of mental strength, a huge white barrier enveloped the team.
"Pick up the stone and be careful. Let's go."
"Yes, sir!"
The party members immediately gathered around and continued pushing the stone forward.
After leaving the man-made hole, a wide passage appeared in front of them. The passage went straight ahead.
At first, it was fine. The undead creatures that appeared in the passage were all normal and elite.
As they gradually went deeper into the source of the shady line, the strength of the surrounding creatures increased rapidly. Even Fang Heng could not help but be secretly shocked.
It was a giant-sized elite creature.
The giant-sized creature was 1-2 times larger than ordinary elite creatures, and its strength had also increased greatly.
It was very likely that its strength had already reached the level of a mini-BOSS.
Fang Heng observed the giant-sized elite Ice Bones and unconsciously licked his lips.
This thing was very powerful…
He wondered if he could control them by using the Bones' summoning spell. That was a super strong combat power! He had to find an opportunity to try it later.
The white barrier released by the giant-sized soul crystal blocked the perception of the many giant elite undead creatures. Everyone slowly walked through the crowd of monsters.
The barrier only served to shield the aura. Fortunately, most of the creatures in the passage stayed where they were and did not move.
The team carefully passed through the gaps between the undead creatures. If they really couldn't pass through, they would use special tools to lure them away.
As a result, the path was particularly difficult to traverse. It took the team an hour to barely pass through.
The further they went, the stronger the holy aura felt by Fang Heng.
All the undead creatures on the last section of the road had completely disappeared.
At the end of the road, a bronze door about five meters tall appeared in front of everyone.
The door was covered in a thick layer of frost.
There was a gap between the two doors, which could probably accommodate an ordinary person.
A golden holy aura visible to the naked eye was constantly leaking out from the opening!
Seeing this, the hearts of the party members could not help but beat faster.
That was most likely the source of the shady line!
As for the holy aura, it was very likely that it was left behind when the Holy Court sealed the source of the shady line.
Yatsek looked at the people behind him and nodded, "Follow me."
After saying that, Yatsek took the lead and entered the door.
The party members followed suit.
Fang Heng also joined the team and followed them through the door. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the scene inside the door.
Behind the door was a spacious hall. Near the center, a great sword about seven meters long pierced straight into the ground!
Seven to eight meters away from the great sword, there were at least hundreds of Ice Bones, frozen vengeful spirits, and their leaders surrounding the great sword. They were constantly surging toward the great sword.
The powerful holy aura that the great sword emitted blocked the undead from the outside world.
This was the first time Fang Heng had seen so many high-level undead creatures gathered together. His heart began to beat faster.
A BOSS-level undead creature!
There was far more than one!
Other than that, there was also that great sword!
The powerful aura emitted by the great sword was even stronger than the Book of Oaths in his hand!
For a moment, everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them.
Gano swallowed his saliva carefully and asked, "What's that?"
"I don't know."
Yatsek said concisely as he carefully observed his surroundings.
The holy aura fluctuation was triggered by the great sword and was extremely strong.
The surrounding vengeful spirits were obviously stimulated, and they kept rushing toward the great sword in the center, but they were blocked by the holy aura that the great sword emitted.
The members of the Chambers of Commerce gradually recovered from their initial shock and discussed in low voices.
There was a time limit to the Hunting Day. No matter what, just looking at it, he definitely did not have enough time.
He had to make a move.
"What should we do? Should we try to get closer to take a look?"
"Let's wait and observe."
There were at least 20 commander-level undead creatures in the hall. If they were not careful, they would be wiped out.
In the team, a young man wearing a hat noticed something and pointed to the right. He said, "Everyone, look over there."
Bones.
The floor of the hall was littered with bones.
After a long period of erosion, most of the equipment and weapons had already decayed, leaving behind ghastly white bones.
The young man was pointing at a white bone near the edge of the cave.
"Is he the ancestor of the feudal lord of the Frost Fortress?"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat as they looked at the skeleton.
"The golden ring on the skeleton's hand has a star-like rune mark on it. It looks like the City Lord's family rune ring."
Fang Heng's eyelids twitched.
Oh, right.
Zheng Yuping had mentioned it to him before.
A mission issued by the City Lord of Frost Fortress.
Find the body of the City Lord's ancestor and bring it back. Players can obtain a large number of points by completing the mission.
Similarly, the Chambers of Commerce could also obtain great benefits by completing the commission.
"Yes, very similar."
Yatsek looked at the ring, nodded slightly, and shifted his gaze to the great sword in the center again.
The ring was located near the holy great sword.
It was not that easy to get the ring.
"A great sword of the holy system. I think this great sword might have some kind of sealing ability, sealing the source of the shady line. The high-level undead in the surroundings are all stimulated by the holy system and have probably gathered here for at least hundreds of years."
"Yes…"
Yatsek nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong. He turned his head and focused his gaze on Fang Heng who was talking behind him.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Gano's expression changed when he saw Fang Heng suddenly speak. His heart was in his throat.
He never thought that Fang Heng, who was hidden in the crowd, would take the initiative to speak. He was so shocked that a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. He quickly went forward to explain.
"Elder, he's a helper I found and has learned a little about the sacred study. I thought that this mission might be related to the sacred study, so I brought him here."

1454 Probing
"Oh? The sacred study?"
Yatsek's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"What do you think? Tell me."
Fang Heng nodded and looked at the great sword in the middle of the hall from afar. He had the urge to go up and use the Book of Oaths to absorb the great sword.
"The great sword has existed for at least a few hundred years. During this period, it has constantly suffered the corrosion of the shady line aura and the attacks of the surrounding undead. It is still so strong now, which means that its ability is extremely strong. It is very difficult to break it forcefully with external forces."
"And then?"
"I want to try and see if I can absorb the strength of the great sword or find a way to control it."
Everyone's interest was piqued when they heard this.
"Do you have the ability to do it?"
"I don't know, but I can give it a try."
Fang Heng looked around.
In theory, the Book of Oaths was a holy weapon.
It was just like the silver nail magic tool he had encountered in the shady line.
Relying on the holy weapon, he could completely think of a way to absorb the Holy Light's strength within the great sword.
After the absorption, the great sword would become a pile of scrap metal.
Only the frozen vengeful spirits and Ice Bones wandering around were a little troublesome.
In addition, Fang Heng was also very curious about what was sealed under the great sword.
The source of the shady line?
What exactly was it?
He had a feeling that he might have triggered a big mission.
"Well, I think we can give it a try."
Yatsek did not have much hope for what Fang Heng said.
The great sword's level was obviously high. How could a necromancer who had learned a little about the sacred study undo it?
Wasn't this a joke?
Since he couldn't find a better way, he could try and observe the great sword's reaction.
Yatsek and the old man who drew the runes on the soul stone, Ambay, discussed for a while before looking at Fang Heng.
"Alright, we will think of a way to create a high-strength barrier for you."
As he spoke, Yatsek took out a Soul Jade Crystal and threw it to Fang Heng.
"Take this and begin."
"Yes, sir!"
Under Ambay's command, the Chamber of Commerce once again opened up the barrier.
This time, under everyone's control, the barrier fell on Fang Heng alone.
Fang Heng also poured his spiritual power into the soul jade crystal and released a second layer of the barrier.
Ambay gestured to Fang Heng, "Let's begin."
"Yes."
Seeing Fang Heng approach the holy system's great sword step by step, everyone became nervous.
The most nervous person wasn't Fang Heng, but Gano.
Gano stared at Fang Heng's every move, his heart thumping, praying that nothing bad would happen.
Most of the high-level undead gathered outside the great sword's Holy Light were attracted by the holy wave.
Coupled with the double barrier protection, they turned a blind eye to Fang Heng's arrival.
Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this. He maintained his necromancy form and advanced through the gaps between the undead creatures.
The most difficult step!
A large number of elite and commander-level undead creatures.
If he accidentally triggered the aggro of the undead creatures, he might even be killed in one hit.
Fortunately, there was a gap between the undead creatures.
Fang Heng carefully moved forward, bypassing many undead creatures until he arrived at the location of the Holy Light fluctuation.
Swoosh!!
A Holy Light shone!
Fang Heng switched to his holy form and stepped into the forbidden area of the undead with ease!
"Success!"
"Good!"
Seeing Fang Heng ignore the light from the great sword and continue to move forward, everyone could not help but nod secretly, and their faces revealed happy expressions.
It was indeed the strength of the holy system.
Even the frozen vengeful spirits could not get close to the great sword, but Fang Heng could ignore the Holy Light fluctuation.
"Well done."
Yatsek didn't expect Fang Heng to be able to do this. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Gano with appreciation.
"Thank, thank you, Elder."
Normally, Gano would be happy for a few days after receiving Yatsek's praise.
But now, Gano didn't feel happy at all. He squeezed out an extremely stiff smile.
Instead, he had an even worse premonition.
Fang Heng approached the great sword step by step, observing it carefully at the same time.
A huge crack was formed on the ground by the great sword. The front end was about two meters deep into the ground.
A cold aura kept seeping out from the cracks in the ground!
It was cold and carried a part of the undead aura.
The undead aura was instantly purified by the great sword, leaving behind a cold and icy aura.
The huge crack was covered in frost.
There was no mistake.
The strength that could freeze souls came from this crack.
Seeing that Fang Heng had successfully approached, the eyes of the people from the Chambers of Commerce revealed some excitement. One of them shouted, "Little Brother, can you think of a way to get the bones of the City Lord's ancestor out first?"
Fang Heng turned his head to the right.
A large number of bones were scattered on the ground.
Under the influence of the frost aura, a thin layer of frost was attached to the skeleton.
One of the frosty white bones that were believed to be the ancestor of the City Lord was left not far from the great sword.
"Okay, I'll try."
Fang Heng answered and tried to walk towards the skeleton at the side.
"Chi!"
Just as he took a few steps forward, Fang Heng suddenly raised his eyebrows and quickly retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
What the hell!
The great sword suddenly emitted strong light, and a golden current visible to the naked eye flashed!
Buzz…!
A golden shield appeared and shone!
A wave of holy aura burst out from the great sword!
The violent spread of the holy aura caused the surrounding undead creatures to freeze, pushing them back a few meters!
"Not good! Be careful!"
The expressions of the people from the Chambers of Commerce changed when they saw this.
"Release the barrier!"
Boom!!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Dozens of bone barriers rose.
The dark barrier opened!
The shockwave of the spreading holy aura instantly shattered more than ten bone barriers and finally exploded on the barrier set up by the Chamber of Commerce team.
"Hu…"
They barely managed to block the aura.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Yatsek looked up again.
The great sword released a dark golden shield, enveloping the great sword and the surrounding area in the center.
Shield?!
The shield slowly faded in front of everyone's eyes.
In fact, the shield was always there. It would only appear when it was attacked or touched.
Fang Heng was still standing outside the shield and observing.
No! He couldn't do it!
He was completely immune to the impact of the holy aura, but he had no way of dealing with this shield.
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the great sword in the center of the shield again.
The game notification flashed across his retina.

1455 Trapped to Death
Fang Heng looked at the mission description.
It was most likely due to the game's settings. If he wanted to complete the City Lord's mission, he had to first think of a way to break through the great sword's barrier.
The members of the Chambers of Commerce who had gathered at the periphery quickly recovered and sighed when they saw this.
Yatsek shook his head.
It was basically impossible to break through such a powerful holy barrier in a short period of time. He could only go back first and then slowly think of a way.
He couldn't rush. He had already spent so much time. It would not be a big deal to spend a few more months.
"Little Brother? Are you alright?"
"If you can't, then retreat first."
Hearing the persuasion of Chambers of Commerce people at the entrance of the hall, Fang Heng waved his hand and nodded, "I want to try again."
He would give it another try!
Fang Heng turned his back to face the holy great sword and raised his hand.
Everyone stared at Fang Heng, curious about what else he wanted to do.
It was already like this, could there be a way?
Whoosh!
The Book of Oaths suddenly appeared in front of Fang Heng.
The dark golden Book of Oaths shone brightly.
Fang Heng's eyes flashed with excitement.
He would use the strength of the Book of Oaths to absorb the great sword!
Absorb all of its strength!
Activating his mental power, lines of game prompts flashed through Fang Heng's vision.
[Hint: The player is using the Book of Oaths to absorb strength from the weapon…]
[Hint: Hidden level check failed. Book of Oaths cannot absorb the item's strength.]
What the hell? Unable to absorb?
Fang Heng glanced at the information in the game log from the corner of his eye and suddenly had an idea.
"Not good!"
In the next moment, under the stimulation of the Book of Oaths, the entire great sword suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling Holy Light!
The dazzling light shone, and everyone gathered at the entrance of the hall could not help but close their eyes.
[Hint: You have received an unknown attack effect, receiving 200 damage (Ignore defense).]
[Hint: You have received damage. The item you are equipped with-human skin mask disguise (fine grade) has expired. You cannot use similar equipment and items for 24 hours.]
[Hint: You have received an unknown attack effect, receiving 200 damage (Ignore defense).]
[Hint: You are blinded.]
[Hint: You have received…]
The light faded away. When Fang Heng opened his eyes again, everything around him had returned to normal.
Oh no, he had failed.
The people of the Chambers of Commerce standing at the back also gradually recovered from their blindness.
What was going on? What just happened?
Everyone in the Chambers of Commerce looked at Fang Heng.
Hmm?
What was that?
Human skin mask?
When they saw the human skin mask on Fang Heng's face that had turned into jelly, everyone's eyes flickered with confusion.
A member of the Chambers of Commerce looked at Fang Heng's face and felt that it was extremely familiar.
He looked like…
The man's heart skipped a beat and he immediately shouted, "Fang Heng! He's Fang Heng!"
Fang Heng had just recovered from the blind state and was still observing the game log. When he heard the shout, he could not help but turn around and look behind him.
"It's Fang Heng!"
"D*mn it! Why is he here?"
Yatsek revealed a surprised look when he saw Fang Heng. He turned his head and stared at Gano.
Gano was so frightened that his face turned ashen. His knees went soft and he immediately knelt on the ground.
"No, I don't know. It's none of my business. He was the one who sneaked into my team. I don't know anything…"
"Shut up!"
Yatsek never thought that Fang Heng would infiltrate the team and discover the secret of the shady line!
"Ha, interesting."
Yatsek turned his head and looked at Fang Heng, who was standing in front of the giant sword. A sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "Fang Heng, I've heard a lot about you. You managed to sneak in under my nose. No wonder so many people want to buy your life."
Fang Heng also turned around and stared at Yatsek, feeling helpless.
What did he mean?
He had been very, very low-key recently, but why did it feel like there were still enemies everywhere?
"Since you want to stay here forever, I wish you luck."
Yatsek slowly stepped back and waved his hand, "Let's retreat!"
With that, Yatsek turned around and left without looking back.
The members of the Chambers of Commerce were stunned for a moment. Then, they immediately understood Yatsek's intention and followed him out of the hall.
Seeing this, Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
Shit!
Noticing that Yatsek and the others were about to leave, Fang Heng immediately wanted to chase after them. However, just as he stepped out of the range of the giant sword's Holy Light aura, a circle of Ice Bones around him was immediately attracted to him.
Fang Heng quickly stopped.
Not good! He was trapped!
He had also lost the strength protection of the giant soul crystal barrier. He was currently in the sacred study state and was affected by the hatred of the undead creatures.
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
If it was a normal or elite undead creature, he could still force his way out, but now he was facing a commander-level creature!
And it was not just one creature.
Before he could even get close, the oppressive aura emitted by the commander-level Ice Bones came straight at Fang Heng!
Fang Heng had no choice but to take a few steps back, retreating into the area enveloped by the Holy Light aura of the great sword.
The undead creatures outside wanted to chase after him, but they were helplessly blocked by the Holy Light aura emitted by the great sword.
This was troublesome.
Fang Heng's brows were tightly knitted as he watched Yatsek and the others leave the hall.
With a loud bang, the gap in the door of the hall closed.
Yatsek led the people from the trading company out of the door and signaled for everyone to work together to close the bronze door. He even left a seal on the outside of the door to completely seal it.
After doing all this, the leaders of the Chambers of Commerce looked at each other.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Gano.
Gano immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yatsek, begging for mercy, "Elder, I really don't know when Fang Heng snuck in. It's my fault, Fang Heng and the others might…"
Yazek's face was as cold as ice.
He could already tell that there was something wrong with Gano.
Gano was a member of the Culodi Trading Company. In front of outsiders, Yatsek had to protect the Culodi Trading Company's face.
"Now is not the time to discuss this. We'll talk about your matter when we get back."
The other representatives of the Chambers of Commerce exchanged glances.
An old man smiled and waved his hand. He stepped forward and said, "Don't be so angry. It's normal for young people to make mistakes due to their lack of experience. It's good that they can learn from their mistakes. Fortunately, the losses aren't that great. Yatsek, your Culodi Chamber of Commerce has always been fair. The losses this time…"
Yatsek glanced at the old man.
"Previously, we received a commission from Lord Dani to deal with Fang Heng. Now that Fang Heng has been trapped to death, the mission is considered completed. Our Culodi Trading Company will not participate in the distribution of the reward for this commission."
Everyone in the Chambers of Commerce immediately beamed with joy when they heard this.
"Hahaha, I told you, the Culodi Chamber of Commerce has always been fair."
"That's right. We've worked together for so many years. Everyone can trust each other."

1456 Getting out of Trouble
Just two days ago, the feudal lord Dani had secretly sent a commission to the various major factions of Punoze.
The commission's objective was to kill Fang Heng.
Even if they couldn't kill him, they could still control Fang Heng for a period of time.
The price given for this commission was very satisfactory. However, it was required to be completed within a fixed time. Time was very tight.
Originally, the people from the Chambers of Commerce had planned to give up. They did not expect that they would actually complete it by accident.
A supervisor of the Chambers of Commerce looked at the bronze door behind him worriedly and asked, "But isn't it a little dangerous to leave Fang Heng alone inside? Won't he escape?"
"Hmph, escape? What can he use to escape?"
Yatsek sneered.
"Don't worry about it, he won't be able to come out. There are only four hours left before Frost Hell closes. No one can stay in Frost Hell during the closing period."
Yatsek was very confident about this.
Since they didn't have a good way to deal with Fang Heng now, they might as well trap him inside.
Save time and effort.
What he needed to do now was to think of a way to get rid of that great sword!
"Let's go!"
"Yes, sir!"
Behind the bronze door, inside the cave, after trying a few times, Fang Heng sat back down on the ground and fell into deep thought.
"This is troublesome…"
Fang Heng muttered to himself.
After more than ten attempts, he divided the entire hall into three areas.
The first part was the central sealed area of the great sword.
This area was guarded by the great sword in the center. It was impossible to enter. Once you got close, you would be affected by the Holy Light's defensive barrier.
The barrier was extremely strong and could not be broken for the time being.
The second area was the area where the holy aura of the great sword was spreading.
The leaders of the undead were all blocked outside by this power.
The last area was where the undead creatures were free to move about.
It was very awkward.
Fang Heng was now trapped in the second area where the holy aura was dissipating.
If he went deeper, he would reach the central sealed area. With his current ability, he could not break through the barrier.
If he wanted to retreat, the area behind him was where the undead leaders were active.
He couldn't beat them either.
Fang Heng had no choice but to flip through his backpack again.
He had two small soul jade crystals on him, which could block a part of his life aura.
It can deal with ordinary undead.
However, it was far from enough to deal with a commander-level undead creature.
Fang Heng had tried several times before, but before he could step out of the area where the holy aura was spreading, he was targeted by the undead leaders outside.
What should he do?
Fang Heng couldn't help but feel distressed.
Was he really trapped here?
The problem was that he was currently in a special environment affected by the shady line, and he would be attacked by the cold aura every second.
It was not a problem to use the undying body effect to resist, but it was impossible to log off using conventional methods.
The Hunting Day only lasted for one day. At that time, the entire Frost Hell would be closed.
As for after it was closed…
Fang Heng frowned.
He hadn't asked Zheng Yuping what would happen if he continued to stay in Frost Hell after the Hunting Day ended.
He thought it wouldn't be anything good.
Fang Heng took out the Tower of Bones invitation card from his backpack.
[Hint: You are currently in a special environment. You cannot use this invitation card.]
Even the invitation card was invalid?
Fang Heng's heart sank and he slowly closed his eyes.
Swoosh!!
A magic array appeared under Fang Heng's feet and spun rapidly.
Golden Holy Light sparkled and gradually enveloped Fang Heng.
When Fang Heng opened his eyes again, he was back in the single room of the Necromancer Association in the real world.
Fortunately, he could still return to the real world.
Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief and took out the invitation card from his warp backpack.
The invitation card was currently in a usable state, and the card description had also changed.
[Item-Tower of Bones' invitation card.]
Type: Consumable (3/3).
Description: Through this invitation card, the player can enter Punoze (a special hidden mid-level game world). Each time you enter, you can stay for up to 7 days. This card is a consumable and will disappear after three uses. You can use points to replenish the number of uses.
Description: This item is bound to the soul and cannot be traded. It will disappear upon death.
Special description: In the current environment, if you use this card to leave Punoze again, the player's location in the game will be transferred back to the Zombie Apocalypse.
His luck was not bad, he could use the invitation card to leave Punoze and return to the Zombie Apocalypse.
Knowing that he could escape, Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief.
But even so, the next time he used the invitation card to enter Punoze, he would still be trapped in the shady line hall.
It was troublesome!
If that were the case, he would have wasted a month of progress in the game of Punoze!
"Don't be anxious. There must be another way…"
Fang Heng muttered in a low voice, forcing himself to calm down. He closed his eyes and entered the game world again, patiently looking for a breakthrough.
…
Deep in the mountain stream of Frost Hell, Zheng Yuping's team had been waiting for Fang Heng for half a day.
Even as the sky gradually darkened, they still did not receive any news from Fang Heng.
Strangely, the zombies under Fang Heng's control were still branding the Ice Bones.
From the looks of it, Fang Heng should still be safe.
But where was Fang Heng?
Why did he suddenly disappear into thin air?
The Hunting Day in the Frost Hell was about to end. At that time, the entire Frost Hell would be completely sealed off, and no one would be allowed to enter or leave.
Zheng Yuping was anxious.
It wasn't as if no one had ever thought of staying in the Frost Hell to earn points.
However, after trying it out, he realized that this was almost impossible.
After the Hunting Day ended, the negative environmental effects in the Frost Hell greatly increased. The cold aura could even cause a huge negative suppression effect on the soul bonfire, and the fuel consumption rate was greatly increased.
All the teams that had tried to stay in the Frost Hell were wiped out without the need of the City Lord.
Helpless, Zheng Yuping could only choose to take the risk and enter the cave to explore and try to find Fang Heng.
Unfortunately, it was useless.
"Captain, we can't find any trace of Lord Fang Heng. The cave is filled with skeletal creatures. There are too many of them."
Kou Ming led his team into the cave again and returned helplessly.
"Forget it. There's no need to look for him. Lord Fang Heng might have other arrangements."
Zheng Yuping calculated.
For safety's sake, it was better to retreat with the team first.
World Lord Fang Heng always did things that were unexpected. Perhaps he had thought of a way to stay in the Frost Hell forever?
They were different. With their bodies, they wouldn't even know how they died if they stayed in Frost Hell.
"Yes!"
The Federation team began to pack up their supplies and prepare to return.
Previously, Fang Heng had killed a large number of frozen vengeful spirits and obtained a lot of resources. It would take some time to pack them up.
