1821 Fallen Resentful Ghost
Before he could finish his sentence, a Holy Light burst out from Reider's body. As he lunged forward, he thrust his long sword forward, instantly closing the distance between him and Fang Heng. The sword stabbed into Fang Heng's heart!
"Chi!!"
The long sword pierced through Fang Heng's heart!
Facing the demi-human, Reider wasn't as careless as Arnott. He did not hold back at all. The moment he attacked, it would be a fatal move!
However, in the next moment, Reider's pupils constricted.
What was going on?
This sword did not seem to have caused much damage to Fang Heng.
He could even feel the aura of the undead seeping out from Fang Heng's body!
A person who studied necromancy!
Was he really Fang Heng?
[Hint: The player has used a special potion-evil spirit's blessing.]
[Hint: The cooldown time of the player's skills has been reset. The player's current state has been restored.]
[Hint: The player has switched to necromancy academic mode.]
Fang Heng stared at the two people in front of him. They looked fearless, obviously having absolute confidence in their strength.
The only chance of winning was to take advantage of their underestimation of the enemy. He would directly use his strongest killing move on them!
There were not many skills that he could use in the real world, only the Everlasting Moon!
"Whoosh!!!"
Reider stared at Fang Heng. He realized that Fang Heng's figure was gradually becoming illusory in front of him. He saw the phantom of a red moon appear behind Fang Heng.
At the same time, game notifications flashed across Fang Heng's vision.
[Hint: The player has used the skill-Everlasting Moon.]
[Hint: Detected that the player is currently in the chaotic world (Level: High).]
[Hint: Fusing with the current world. The player's skill form has changed. Fusing…]
[Hint: The player's current status has been detected-necromancy, skill fusion in progress…]
[Hint: Detecting player's current environment, skill fusion in progress…]
[Hint: The player and teammates have entered the state of reincarnation.]
[Hint: Everlasting Moon summoning skill: Fallen resentful ghost.]
[Creature: Fallen resentful ghost.]
Description: An eternal sorrow born at the bottom of the River of Oblivion in the death realm. It can arouse the resentment of those who return to the River of Oblivion and sink into eternal oblivion in resentment.
Additional skills: Illusion of resentment, fallen…
Reider and Arnott's eyes gradually turned dreamy as they looked at the pale white moonlight that appeared behind Fang Heng.
"Whoosh!!"
The golden power of the Holy Light exploded in front of Arnott and Reider!
The holy power protection has been activated!
Under the stimulation of the Holy Light, the two of them suddenly woke up.
It was an illusion!
After Reider woke up, his face turned pale. He subconsciously wanted to gain control of his body, but he noticed that he had already sunk into a swamp!
What was this?
He looked down.
Just as he was affected by the illusion, countless souls emerged from the mud under his feet and grabbed his legs tightly, dragging him down into the mud!
"Get lost!"
Reider shouted as he swung the long sword in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
Golden light exploded forward!
"Bang!!!"
This was…!
A hint of panic appeared on Reider's face.
Holy Light was extremely effective against undead creatures. However, only a few resentful ghosts that had been slashed by the Holy Light's long sword were affected by it and retreated.
However, in the next second, more resentful ghosts reached out from the swamp and clasped at him!
"Arnott! The situation is not good! Think of a way!"
Reider turned around to look for his companion.
Arnott was much stronger than him!
But when he turned his head and saw Arnott's condition, Reider's face instantly turned pale.
This was bad!
Only then did he realize that it wasn't just the ground. Dark ripples appeared on the walls and ceiling of the basement. Light-colored vengeful spirits kept flying out from the walls that had turned into mud in all directions!
The entire room was filled with dark vengeful spirits.
The reason why he had not been attacked by the vengeful spirit was because of Arnott!
A dark golden Holy Light surged on Arnott's body, and layers of golden halos spread out, driving away the vengeful spirits that were attacking him!
However…
The golden light was gradually dimming! The radius of the light circle around Arnott was gradually shrinking!
Arnott's expression was extremely grave. His situation was not much better than Reider's. Similarly, he was also grabbed tightly by the resentful ghost's soul body that reached out from under his feet!
This was big trouble!
He had originally thought that Fang Heng was just an insignificant character in the real world, so he did not even have the time to report this investigation!
He had never expected to encounter a demi-human!
Moreover, his strength was terrifyingly powerful!
What made Arnott feel even more hopeless was that Fang Heng was right in front of them, but there seemed to be a huge gap between the two of them that could not be crossed!
The golden light emitted by Arnott gradually dimmed under the repeated attacks of the vengeful spirit creatures!
Not good, he couldn't resist it anymore!
Arnott's face gradually turned pale, and the golden Holy Light that spread out quickly dissipated!
"Bang!!!"
The countless vengeful spirits that were scampering about in the basement seemed to have found a vent, and they surged madly toward Arnott and Reider!
Reider kept waving his Holy Light long sword to kill the vengeful spirits.
However, the effect of doing so was extremely limited!
Every time they were hit by a vengeful spirit, they would feel their bodies weakened a little!
Reider lost control of his body and was slowly pulled into the swamp by the resentful ghost's soul body…
He felt the call of death as his vision gradually sank into darkness.
Whoosh!
In less than a minute, Fang Heng recovered from the state of the Everlasting Moon!
He stared at the fallen Arnott and Reider duo in front of him, a layer of gray light attached to his pupils.
The strength of Arnott and his companion was still not at the level of a commander-level creature in an advanced game.
Therefore, Fang Heng did not suffer any backlash after controlling the Everlasting Moon, and he still had some spiritual power left.
Whoosh!
Fang Heng did not dare to delay. He quickly placed his hands in front of him and formed a mark.
"Close!!"
Swoosh!!
The Shrine of Bones appeared in front of Fang Heng.
Fang Heng looked up at the sky.
Under the gaze of the gray pupils, Reider and Arnott's souls were slowly hovering toward the ceiling.
Fang Heng pointed at the sky and whispered, "Go!"
Two gray auras shot out from the Shrine of Bones and quickly entangled the two souls in the air!
"Bang! Bang Bang!!!"
The moment the dark light clasped their souls, the golden Holy Light protecting their souls exploded and dispersed the gray aura.
Fang Heng frowned and let out a disdainful snort.
"Ha…"
It was just a mere Holy Light protection.
Was this the reason why the Holy Court was so arrogant?
The souls of high-tier members of the Holy Court would be protected by the holy power. After death, they would seek to be revived in the holy realm or the Land of Prayer.
However, Fang Heng had already broken through Saintess Viona's holy protection of the soul.
In comparison, breaking through the Holy Light shield of the two of them was not a problem at all!

Chapter 1822 Uneasiness
His spiritual power was triggered once again, and the gray aura that overflowed from the Shrine of Bones climbed toward the souls of Arnott and Reider!
"Bang! Bang Bang!!!"
The golden light was stimulated and exploded again, constantly removing the gray aura's control.
Until the third time!
And the fourth time!
As Fang Heng repeatedly urged the power of the Shrine of Bones to attack the souls, the golden Holy Light shield protecting the souls finally could not withstand it and exploded with a bang!
The two souls lost the protection of the holy power and were firmly entangled by the two gray auras!
The soul bodies let out a sharp shriek and struggled crazily.
However, both Arnott and Reider had never cultivated soul power and hence were unable to resist the control of the Shrine of Bones over their souls!
"Whoosh!!"
Fang Heng controlled the aura of the Shrine of Bones to grab their souls and inject them into the altar.
"Phew…"
After doing all this, Fang Heng exhaled heavily and put away the Shrine of Bones. He lowered his head and looked at the two corpses on the ground.
What a huge loss!
He had been caught off guard by the people of the Holy Court and had lost a bottle of cooldown recovery potion for nothing!
Next, he had to face more problematic issues.
How should he settle this…
The souls of Arnott and Reider had already been imprisoned, so there wasn't much of a problem.
If he had to think of a way to wipe away all the traces…
It was a gamble of luck. He bet that no one knew that the two of them had been here.
Fang Heng lowered his head and quickly thought about how to deal with the situation.
From the conversation with Arnott, they probably weren't sure of his identity before coming here.
There was a high chance that it was just a normal probe.
Should he run away immediately, or should he wait and see?
Fang Heng hesitated for a moment and crossed out the option to continue staying.
No, he could not wait any longer. The risk was too great.
This time, he had used the ultimate skill, Everlasting Moon. In addition, Arnott was too confident in his strength, so he was taken down in one blow due to his carelessness!
When the Holy Court realized that Arnott and Reider had gone missing, the second round of investigations would soon arrive…
Fang Heng knew that things might not be as bad as he thought, but the risk was too great. He did not dare to take the risk.
He had to leave this place immediately!
The faster, the better.
But before he left, he had one more thing to do.
A compound that could activate the original devouring body.
The original devouring body compound was too important.
The next two powerful zombie clones needed this stimulating compound for their evolution.
It could greatly increase the combat strength of his zombie clones!
There were three very important raw materials for the original devouring body stimulator compound. These three materials were all cultivated and obtained in advanced games.
The materials obtained by the laboratory had to go through the approval of the Federation. They had just been sent to the laboratory last night, so he had no chance to get them for the time being.
He had to think of a way to take them away before he left!
He would make his move tonight!
If it was only a few hours, it should not be a problem.
Fang Heng was deep in thought.
For safety reasons, he had to deal with the corpses first.
It was not difficult.
As a World Lord, he had a special space-time jump backpack.
Normal corpses could not be stored in his backpack, but he only needed a coffin. After putting the corpses in the coffin, he could stuff the coffin into his backpack.
Fang Heng closed his eyes on the spot, and a rapidly spinning magic array appeared under his feet.
Soon, Fang Heng returned to the game world to bring the coffin out. Before he could load the corpses, a phone suddenly rang in the basement.
"Ring ring…"
Hmm?
A phone?
Fang Heng walked to the corpse and took out a phone from the pocket of Arnott's body.
Looking at the caller ID on the phone interface, Fang Heng could not help but narrow his eyes.
Qiao Wei.
So it was her.
That woman.
That's how the Holy Court had learned about him. It was because of Qiao Wei.
A murderous look appeared in Fang Heng's eyes, but he quickly regained his calm composure and threw the phone into his game space backpack.
After that, Fang Heng placed the two corpses into the coffin and threw the coffin into his warp backpack.
Fang Heng took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number skillfully.
"Fana, I'm in trouble and need your help. I think you guys are more professional in this kind of thing."
…
Outside Fang Heng's rented villa, a car was parked by the street.
Qiao Wei observed the villa outside through the car window.
"Miss, we have arrived at your destination."
As if she hadn't heard him, Qiao Wei continued to stare at the villa.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but the villa looked particularly gloomy under the night sky.
The driver urged impatiently, "Miss? Are you waiting for someone? Why don't you make a call? I still have another service to go."
"Wait a little longer."
Qiao Wei rudely interrupted and handed a hundred yuan bill to the driver.
The driver immediately beamed with joy. He took the money happily and shut his mouth.
The villa looked extremely quiet. There was no energy fluctuation or movement.
Did Arnott and Reider make a move? Or had they already left?
Qiao Wei's heart was beating uncontrollably, and it was beating faster and faster.
She was very sure of her intuition.
Something terrible must have happened!
Qiao Wei took out her phone and tried to contact Arnott again.
Not in the service area.
What was going on?
She had just called Arnott's phone on the way. At that time, it had rung. Why was it out of service now?
Qiao Wei put down her phone.
The uneasiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She could not help but look at the villa again, and fear rose in her heart.
Did something happen?
It was impossible!
Arnott was a battle talent nurtured by the Holy Court. He was extremely powerful. Even if he was faced with an opponent he could not deal with, he would not be killed without retaliating!
The last time they met, she hadn't even seen how Arnott attacked before his opponent had already fallen and lost his ability to attack.
Moreover…
Under extreme circumstances, even if they were in a life-and-death crisis, the clergymen of the Holy Court had the holy power to protect their souls. They could be revived under the Holy Light.
So nothing would happen!
"There won't be any problems."
Qiao Wei muttered to herself as if she was comforting herself. She kept telling herself that Arnott was extremely strong and would not be defeated so easily.
But…
What if?
Qiao Wei looked at the villa again.
Suddenly, Qiao Wei saw a pair of dark eyes peeking out from the window on the second floor of the villa.
The moment their eyes met, Qiao Wei's hair stood on end as if she had been electrocuted!
Dangerous!
It was Fang Heng!
Fang Heng was still there, but she had lost contact with the people from the Holy Court.
Qiao Wei almost immediately thought of the worst.
She yelled frantically in the car, "Hurry! Drive!"
"Where are we going?"
"Go back! Hurry up! Hurry up and drive!"
The driver was likewise shocked by Qiao Wei. He cursed her in his heart and stepped on the accelerator to depart the villa area.

Chapter 1823 Sudden Attack
As they gradually moved away from the villa, Qiao Wei's thumping heart did not stop. Instead, it beat even faster!
She had a premonition of danger and she was extremely confident in her sixth sense.
Not good! Something must have happened!
She wasn't sure if those eyes belonged to Fang Heng, but those cold eyes didn't belong to someone from the Holy Court!
In a panic, Qiao Wei immediately dialed her phone.
"D*mn it! Quickly pick it up! Hurry!"
Qiao Wei promptly called her team leader, but his phone was already switched off.
Kleinman was currently at Haines School, keeping an eye on the demi-humans.
After this period of planning, they were now at the most critical stage of drawing in the net.
Qiao Wei tried to call a few times but failed. She then called her team member, Qike's cell phone again.
"Qike?"
"Yes, I'm here. What's wrong? You sound scared. Did something happen?"
"There's something wrong with Fang Heng! Qike! I can be sure! There must be something wrong with him! Help me tell the team leader that there is a big problem with Fang Heng! He is extremely dangerous!"
On the other end of the phone, Qike frowned. She didn't know what situation Qiao Wei had encountered that could make her so flustered. She quickly comforted her, "Qiao Wei, calm down. Are you safe now?"
The uneasiness in Qiao Wei's heart didn't lessen at all. She looked outside through the car window in a panic and replied, "I..I don't know. It should be. It should be safe now."
"Okay, I understand. The team leader is now in charge of tonight's arrest operation. I can't see him. Calm down. I need you to tell me what happened. You said that there's something wrong with Fang Heng. Do you have evidence?"
Qiao Wei was speechless.
Evidence…
She had no concrete evidence.
She couldn't reveal that she, a member of the Federation, had contacted the people from the Holy Court in private to conduct an investigation.
It was fine if they uncovered a problem with Fang Heng. However, she had no actual evidence now!
Qiao Wei was silent for a while and Qike couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
During this mission, she was in the same group as Qiao Wei. She had seen Qiao Wei use her private time to investigate Fang Heng more than once.
She felt Qiao Wei was already a little possessed.
Indeed, there were many suspicious points about Fang Heng. However, Qiao Wei had investigated for so long and did not find any substantial evidence.
Qike didn't want her friend to continue walking down the same road. She tried to persuade her, "Qiao Wei, where are you? I'm coming to find you now."
"Qike, I'm on my way back to school. Listen to me and help me find the team leader… Kaka…"
"Boom!!!"
As she spoke, Qike abruptly heard an explosion from the other end of the phone.
"Qiao Wei?! What's wrong?"
The loud explosion from the phone made Qike feel that something bad had happened. Her expression changed drastically and she shouted into the phone.
"Qiao Wei? Qiao Wei!!"
"Beep, beep, beep…"
The signal disappeared.
No way!
Could it be…
A layer of cold sweat appeared on Qike's forehead. She promptly dialed back, but the other end of the phone was still searching for a signal.
Something had happened!
Qike promptly opened the internal communication channel to report.
…
Haines School, in the second teaching building, the meeting room on the third floor had been secretly transformed by the Federation into a temporary command room.
The investigation was proceeding in an orderly manner.
In the past few days, the special investigation team's main focus was on Sang Dazhi and Chepo, the two school members.
Other than these two, Kleinman's keen senses noticed the existence of a third hidden demi-human race.
Kleinman was an excellent hunter. He had always been patient. He hadn't made a move all this while and his goal was to catch them all in one fell swoop.
At present, the entire Haines School had been built into a dragnet.
They released the bait that they had prepared in advance.
As expected, Sang Dazhi and Chepo couldn't resist the temptation and made their move tonight.
lightsnοvεl.cοm The third person hiding behind the scenes.
He could finally find him!
This was a matter of great importance. The strength of the demi-human race hidden in the dark could not be estimated. Kleinman had applied in advance for the elites of the Inspection Bureau to come and assist in the capture.
Most of the members of the investigation team were responsible for monitoring the surroundings.
Through the hidden surveillance cameras installed within the campus, Kleinman could see that the target had been lured by the bait and was stepping into the cage he had designed in advance.
Kleinman enjoyed this sense of accomplishment as he waited quietly for his prey to come.
Just as Kleinman was enjoying this happy moment, there was a knock on the door.
The special investigation team member in charge of peripheral intelligence entered the hall. He deliberately lowered his voice as he walked to Kleinman's side and carefully placed a document on the table in front of Kleinman.
Kleinman glanced at the document and asked, "What is it?"
"Sir, the Inspection Bureau has just received an emergency report. They suspect that it might be related to our current mission, so they sent it over urgently for your decision."
Kleinman raised his eyebrows slightly.
An emergency?
He hated sudden incidents the most.
"Yes, thank you."
Kleinman retracted his attention from the surveillance camera, opened the document, and read it quickly.
Shortly after, Kleinman's face darkened and his brows furrowed.
Qiao Wei!
His old friend had asked him to take care of her before he left.
But she actually died!
Kleinman's face became extremely gloomy, and he felt a little angry as he read the report carefully.
Qiao Wei's car was attacked and she was confirmed dead on the way to the hospital.
The Inspection Bureau intervened as soon as they sensed the power fluctuation. They suspected that it was done by the Black Castle.
Coincidentally, Qiao Wei was on the phone when she was attacked.
The person that she was talking to over the phone was her team member, Qike.
From Qike's questioning, Qiao Wei sounded very anxious and nervous at that time. She told her that there was a problem with Fang Heng on the phone.
Fang Heng?!
Kleinman thought of Fang Heng.
He had his doubts about Fang Heng earlier.
But soon, the suspicion of Fang Heng was completely dispelled after a few tests.
Qiao Wei had always been extremely suspicious of Fang Heng. She kept an eye on him and had been secretly investigating him.
He had also given his permission for this.
In an instant, the suspicion of Fang Heng was magnified infinitely in Kleinman's eyes.
Kleinman refused to believe in coincidences.
He quickly realized that his judgment was wrong.
Indeed, Fang Heng might not have anything to do with the demi-human race incident, but he was most likely related to the Black Castle.
Kleinman asked, "Where's Fang Heng?"
"He's not at home right now. We're tracking Fang Heng's whereabouts. We've already withdrawn our tracking of him a few days ago. Should we bring him in for questioning for investigation after we find him?"
Kleinman hesitated.
They still lacked direct evidence.
First, he had to deal with the demi-humans.
This was the biggest problem!
"No, let's keep an eye on him after we locate him first. Don't alert him. If we ascertain that he wants to leave, we can take action and bring him back."

1824 Arrest
Kleinman halted and emphasized, "Right now, the arrest operation is our priority. All units, report the current situation. Tonight's operation cannot go wrong! Do you understand?!"
"Understood!"
As soon as they decided on the battle plan, a player who was monitoring the periphery area through the monitoring platform noticed something and reported, "Leader, we found Fang Heng at Haines School. He's heading towards the Federation's research building."
Fang Heng?!
At this time?
He appeared at Haines School?
They had just been searching for Fang Heng, and now he had showed up openly in Haines School, right before their eyes!
When the investigation team heard this news, they immediately became vigilant.
In terms of time, Fang Heng was almost back at Haines School when Qiao Wei got into trouble.
There was no time for him to commit the crime.
An investigator spoke subconsciously, "Strange. There's no one in the laboratory at this time. What's he doing there?"
Another investigator said, "The demi-humans' gathering place is in the old school building area, which is a distance away from Fang Heng's location."
Kleinman thought for a moment.
There seemed to be a troublemaker in the inescapable net that he had set up?
He would not allow anyone to disrupt the capture plan.
"Send a team over to find Fang Heng. Ask him to come back for interrogation first."
"Yes!"
…
At night, Fang Heng returned to Haines School. He was assured that Black Castle would deal with Qiao Wei.
Now, he needed to go to Haines School to get the last three special raw materials that could stimulate the synthesis of the original devouring body.
After acquiring the materials, he would leave immediately!
He could make it in time!
However, Fang Heng did not expect Qiao Wei to have such extraordinary intuition.
He had been targeted the moment he entered the school.
As usual, Fang Heng swiped his ID card and entered the laboratory.
The relevant special materials were handed over to Tong Jia's research team last night after going through layers of approval.
"It ought to be here…"
Fang Heng checked the records in the laboratory and soon discovered the corresponding materials from the laboratory cabinet.
With a light press, the material disappeared from his palm and was placed into his game backpack.
Done!
It was easy.
Items placed in the game backpack could smoothly pass through the periphery item safety detection area.
Of course, after the laboratory discovered that the relevant materials were missing, they would soon be able to pinpoint him.
However, by then, he would have already run away.
Fang Heng successfully passed through the periphery detection area and stepped into the elevator to return.
After that, he could leave the city.
Regrettably, he only attended half of the school course.
"Ding dong!"
The elevator doors opened.
Fang Heng frowned.
Two people were standing outside the door. They had serious expressions as they focused their gazes on Fang Heng.
One of them showed his ID to Fang Heng and said, "Mr. Fang Heng, we are the Federation's investigation team. You are involved in a vicious case. Please come with us."
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
Not good.
They were from the Federation!
How could they move so fast?
What ought to he do?
In an instant, multiple thoughts flashed through Fang Heng's mind.
Should he make a move?
No way.
Haines School might not be a good choice.
He could only utilize a backup plan.
He would leave the school with them first.
Fang Heng had guessed in advance that there might be risks in this operation, so he had prepared a backup plan.
The Black Castle Guild would secretly protect him.
If something went wrong, Black Castle would choose to ambush the Federation when he was halfway out of Haines School.
By then, with the special passive ability of the undying body and the special ability to quickly enter the game, Fang Heng believed that it would not be a problem for him to escape.
"I still have something to do. The research project I'm working on is at a critical stage. Without an arrest warrant…"
"Please cooperate with us."
The Federation's investigation team member's tone was unquestionable, and he even cast a glance at his companion.
The two of them approached Fang Heng from both sides.
Fang Heng's face revealed a disgusted expression. He immediately took half a step back and shouted in a low voice, "Alright! I know! Don't touch me, I'll go with you!"
"Thank you."
The two members of the Inspection Bureau had received instructions beforehand not to make too much noise. Seeing that Fang Heng was willing to cooperate, they escorted him out of the research building.
Fang Heng did not show any aggression. After passing through the security check of the research institute, he left with the two investigators.
The federal investigator brought Fang Heng to the exit of Haines School, preparing to take Fang Heng to the Inspection Bureau for investigation.
Fang Heng asked tentatively, "What happened to Qiao Wei?"
"You'll know when we get to the Inspection Bureau."
The investigator was not stupid and was unwilling to reveal more information to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng asked a few questions but did not get a response, so he also fell silent.
The three of them walked forward without saying a word.
Just as the three of them were about to reach the exit, the expressions of the two investigators suddenly changed. They turned to look behind the research building.
The two of them heard the urgent cry for help from the party channel in their earphones.
"Not good! We've been discovered! Requesting backup! We need to call for backup immediately!"
"Warning! High-level energy reaction detected!"
"Dangerous person discovered! Gu Qingzhu, female, 26 years old, massive mutation reaction!"
"The current environment has triggered an extreme danger level signal!"
"It's the demi-human race! High-level demi-humans! Gu Qingzhu is a high-level demi-human!"
"Activate the emergency plan!"
"The team members are seriously injured. We need backup!"
"Execute evacuation and lockdown procedures!"
Fang Heng couldn't hear the conversation on the Federation's walkie-talkie. He saw the two Federation members suddenly stop and look in the direction of a building behind them.
He couldn't help but turn to look at the building.
Old school building?
"Whoosh!"
Fang Heng frowned. Suddenly, he felt an extremely sharp sound in his eardrums!
"Bang!!"
Immediately after, all the glass windows of the old school building were shattered!
"What happened?"
Fang Heng stared at the old school building.
He could sense a powerful wave of lifeblood energy seeping out from the direction of the explosion.
Judging from the strength of the vitality…
That person was extremely powerful.
He even had the strength of a leader in an advanced game world!
The two federal investigators looked nervous. They looked at each other and then turned to look at Fang Heng.
"Take him away from here first!"
One of the federal investigators took out a pair of handcuffs and gestured at Fang Heng, "It happened so suddenly. Sorry for offending you."
"I refuse."
Fang Heng said coldly and took a step back.
The federal investigator was stunned.
He realized that Fang Heng's aura had changed.
Just a moment ago, he was just an ordinary researcher. When he spoke, Fang Heng's aura changed.
"This is an emergency. Please cooperate with us…"
Before the member of the federal inspection team could finish, the second half of his sentence was stuck in his throat.

1825 An Accident
What the hell!
"Buzz!"
Behind Fang Heng, not far from the exit of Haines School, blue beams of light shot into the sky!
Countless blue pillars of light rose from the ground with the Haines School campus as the center and shot into the sky!
Looking from above, the blue pillar of light surrounded the school.
"Ka ka ka…"
The light beams changed slightly and quickly changed their angles. They intertwined in the air and formed a blue net that enveloped the entire Haines School in the blink of an eye!
"Buzz…"
The blue light once again spread above the light beam, completely sealing off the sky above Haines School!
That was…
Fang Heng could sense grave danger from it.
Such a big formation?
They locked down the entire school?!
No, the seal should not be targeted at him. It was very likely to be targeted at the powerful lifeblood force that he felt from the old school building.
The expressions of the two members of the federal investigation team changed even more when they saw this.
Not good!
The defensive barrier was activated!
What kind of powerful enemy did they encounter that even the elite team of the inspection team could not resist and even took the final safety measures?
An urgent shout came from the earpiece again.
"Team D9, attention! The target, Gu Qingzhu, is rapidly approaching you! Please take note! The target is heavily injured! We must intercept her! We need to stall for time. Reinforcements are on their way!"
When the two members of the Federation's investigation team heard the warning from their earphones, they were shocked.
Team D9?
Wasn't it the number of their group?
The enemy managed to escape from the encirclement of so many elite teams?
The two of them could no longer care about Fang Heng. They turned around and looked behind them, their palms sweating.
From afar, a figure was rapidly approaching them!
Fang Heng also stared at the figure.
The other party was extremely fast!
Moreover, the strength of his lifeblood was extremely high!
Was he the one who caused the violent disturbance in the old school building?
"Stop!"
Two members of the Federation's Inspection Bureau tried to block the enemy's path, shouting and quickly throwing out several dark spheres from their hands.
"Boom! Boom Boom!!!"
The ball was thrown at the enemy and exploded in the air!
A burst of flames covered their vision!
Amid the intense burning flames, a figure directly passed through the flames!
"Bang!!"
The figures intersected.
What terrifying power!
It was so fast that Fang Heng did not even see how the enemy attacked.
After a brief contact, two members of the Federation's investigation team spat out a mouthful of blood and were sent flying!
Run!
Fang Heng immediately dodged to the right!
"Whoosh!!"
However, the figure did not intend to let him go and chased after him at a close distance.
Not good!
Fang Heng watched as the enemy quickly closed the distance between them.
D*mn it!
He couldn't avoid it!
Fang Heng realized that he had been completely locked onto by the enemy's aura, and there was no way for him to dodge!
The difference in strength between the two sides was very large.
He could only use that move.
Hide in the game!
Before the attack was about to arrive, Fang Heng closed his eyes tightly.
At the same time, the shadow of a magic array appeared under Fang Heng's feet.
However, the illusion of the magic array did not spin as quickly as before!
In the darkness, Fang Heng saw the ancient wooden door again.
However, it was completely different from when he entered the game through the door made of wood in the past. This time, Fang Heng discovered that the wooden door was wrapped in a dense blue net!
What was going on?!
The wooden door was entangled and could not be pushed open!
Fang Heng's heart tightened.
The blue net made Fang Heng think of the large light beam that enveloped the Haines School!
Was it a blockade set up by the Federation?
It was a special method aimed at him!
He could not enter the game!
Fang Heng's expression changed and he opened his eyes abruptly.
In front of him, the enemy's right hand had already formed a hand knife, and his fingertips were gently touching his heart.
Just a little more and the enemy would be able to easily pierce through his heart with a hand knife.
However, the other party stopped at the last moment of the attack.
It was only then that Fang Heng saw the enemy's appearance.
What the hell!
When he saw the face, Fang Heng's pupils dilated dozens of times.
His mind went blank for a moment.
It was a woman.
It was her!
Fang Heng stared at the face in front of him.
It completely overlapped with the face in his memory!
Xia Xi!
How could it be her?!
How was that possible?
Although there were a few parts of the face in front of him that were not quite right, and it looked like it had been partially disguised, Fang Heng could connect her with Xia Xi at a glance!
Fang Heng was extremely surprised and almost shouted, "Xia Xi!"
Xia Xi's expression changed a little when she heard the name, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.
"Whoosh!"
Xia Xi quickly pulled her hand back and flew past Fang Heng, heading towards the exit of Haines School!
Only then did Fang Heng come back to his senses and turn his head to look at Xia Xi's back, his eyes flashing with incomparable surprise.
Xia Xi headed straight for the blue network of defense built outside Haines School.
"Boom!!!"
She threw a punch!
The energy wave exploded from the center of the fist and spread out in all directions!
A visible airwave spread outwards at an extremely fast speed!
Fang Heng quickly raised his arm to block in front of him.
The barrier in blue shook violently after the attack!
Xia Xi's eyes were cold as she clenched her fists again in the face of the blue barrier.
"Boom!!"
Another dull crash!
A second, stronger wave spread out!
The entire blue network of defense surrounding Haines School shook violently again!
Terrifying energy fluctuations!
Fang Heng was secretly shocked.
When the aftershock spread out, Fang Heng put down his arm and looked ahead.
Xia Xi stood in front of the barrier and her body swayed slightly.
The previous fierce battle with the elite team of the Federation's investigation team had consumed most of her strength. She was seriously injured and was already at her limit.
After launching the last two attacks with all her might, she finally reached her limit and fainted.
Losing power?
Fang Heng looked at Xia Xi who had fallen in front of the barrier and frowned.
His heart was in a mess.
Why was Xia Xi here?
And Xia Xi didn't seem to know him?
Indeed, his current face was partially disguised, but this basic disguise could not be hidden from Xia Xi!
Not good.
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat as he turned around to look behind him.
In the distance, more than ten extremely powerful lifeblood fluctuations were rapidly approaching.
It was the Federation's investigation team.
Now was not the time to think about this. He had to leave immediately.
However, the entire Haines School had been completely sealed off by the blue barrier.
Fang Heng looked up at the blue defensive barrier outside the school.
This was troublesome.
Even Xia Xi couldn't break through the network.
"Ka ka ka…"
Suddenly, the barrier in blue emitted a faint cracking sound.

1826 Escape
Eh?
Tiny cracks appeared on the blue barrier. Then, the cracks gradually expanded and quickly spread to the entire defense net until it exploded with a loud bang!
"Bang!!!"
The blue defensive barrier surrounding Haines School was instantly shattered!
Countless blue specks of energy in the air turned into fragments and scattered.
It was broken?
"Xia Xi…"
Fang Heng looked down at Xia Xi who was lying on the ground.
What should he do with Xia Xi?
Take her away!
Time was too tight. Sensing that the lifeblood power fluctuations behind him were getting closer and closer, Fang Heng did not have time to think more carefully. He swiftly walked forward and helped the unconscious Xia Xi up, preparing to carry her on his shoulder and take her away.
Eh?
Fang Heng had just pulled Xia Xi up when his heart suddenly moved.
What was going on?
Xia Xi's expression changed a little.
From the outline to the details, there were subtle changes.
It was slightly different from before.
Just now, Fang Heng was sure that the person in front of him was Xia Xi.
But now, just a few subtle changes in her face made Fang Heng hesitate.
Was she really Xia Xi?
There was something wrong!
Fang Heng frowned.
Time was too tight for him to think too much. He carried the unconscious Xia Xi on his shoulder and swiftly walked towards the school's right exit.
He would meet up with Fana first!
…
On the roadside, an off-road vehicle was parked not far from Haines School.
Fana looked at the blue spatial barrier in the distance and was shocked.
She had received an order from her superior to come here to receive Fang Heng.
If everything went well, she would use the special channels of the Black Castle to evacuate Fang Heng from the city.
Fana never expected that while she was waiting for Fang Heng, a huge energy crystal barrier appeared outside Haines School.
A special barrier was set up by the Federation around Haines School.
When was it set up?
The Black Castle had not received any information beforehand.
This meant that the Federation must be carrying out some special secret operation.
Combined with the powerful energy fluctuations she had sensed from the school, she guessed that the Federation's target was an extremely dangerous person hidden in Haines School.
"Is it the demi-human race…"
Fana could tell that the powerful barrier net set up outside the school was targeted at demi-humans.
Speaking of which, the team from the Black Castle had also reported some irregularities during their last mission.
It might be related to demi-humans.
Fana collected her thoughts.
She was more concerned about Fang Heng now.
Fang Heng had to enter the school at this time.
Could he have been dragged into some big trouble?
Fana kept looking in the direction of the school's side entrance, worried.
Just as she was hesitating if she should get out of the car to take a look, the barrier outside the school suddenly shattered!
Then, she saw a figure swiftly leaving Haines High School and running towards the spot where her SUV was parked.
It was Fang Heng!
Hmm? Did he bring someone with him?
Fana frowned and immediately started the off-road vehicle to chase after Fang Heng. She stopped in front of Fang Heng and rolled down the window, "Fang Heng, I'm here to pick you up. Let's go, get in the car!"
"Yes!"
Fang Heng saw that Fana was picking him up and heaved a sigh of relief. He opened the car door and immediately took Xia Xi to the back seat.
The off-road vehicle immediately started and sped out of the city.
Fang Heng immediately checked Xia Xi beside him.
Xia Xi was seriously injured. Large and small wounds had dyed most of her clothes red, and there were a lot of burn marks on her skin.
However, her injuries were slowly recovering!
It seemed that Xia Xi also could heal herself.
However, this healing ability was far inferior to the immediate effect of the undying body.
It seemed that Xia Xi was only temporarily unconscious.
She was seriously wounded and suffered a serious backlash from the battle.
Fang Heng stared at Xia Xi's face.
It was very strange.
When he first saw her, he was 100% sure that the person in front of him was Xia Xi in disguise.
But now, Fang Heng was not sure.
He felt that Xia Xi's face had changed.
Words could not describe it.
There were only some changes in the details, but it felt like they were two different people!
It was very strange!
What was this strange illusion?
Fana observed Gu Qingzhu's condition through the rearview mirror from time to time. She could not help but ask, "Are you very close to Gu Qingzhu?"
"Gu Qingzhu?"
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and looked up at Fana in the driver's seat, "She's Gu Qingzhu? Do you know her?"
Fana glanced at Fang Heng through the rearview mirror and thought to herself, "How can he take her away without even knowing who she is?"
"I don't know her. I've seen her photo before."
Fana explained, "Gu Qingzhu is an outstanding graduate from the previous batches of Haines School. The school's exhibition board still has Gu Qingzhu's photo hanging on it. Sometimes she comes to school, but I've never had direct contact with her."
Fana had stayed in the school for a while. She recognized Gu Qingzhu at first sight after getting into the car.
Fang Heng frowned.
Not Xia Xi?
It was Gu Qingzhu?
Who was Gu Qingzhu?
Or was Gu Qingzhu just a disguise for Xia Xi?
"Fang Heng, the uproar just now was very big. Now that the outside of the city might be sealed off, it might be very unhandy to bring her along. How are you going to deal with it?"
Fang Heng hesitated. He had an intuition.
Regardless of whether the person beside him was Xia Xi or not, she and Xia Xi had an inseparable relationship!
"Take her with you. I have a lot of questions for her. Help me find a safe place. We'll hide first."
"Mm, okay. I also suggest hiding for a while before leaving. I have a safe place where she can also receive treatment."
"Thank you."
Fang Heng nodded and felt a little more at ease. He turned to look at Gu Qingzhu beside him.
Gu Qingzhu's eyelids moved slightly. She struggled to open her eyes and muttered, "We can't stay. We can't hide. We can only go to the City of Darkness over there…"
Fang Heng's eyes lit up as he asked, "You're awake?"
Gu Qingzhu lay on the chair, looking extremely haggard.
She had already woken up when she entered the SUV. However, her body had suffered a severe backlash and she could barely move. Her mental state was also extremely weak.
It was just that she was not out of danger yet, and she could not determine the identity of Fang Heng and Fana, so she forced herself to stay awake with her last breath.
At this moment, she could roughly tell that Fang Heng and Fana were not on the same side as the Federation. When she heard the two of them say that they needed to find a place to hide, she forced himself to open her eyes.
Gu Qingzhu said intermittently, "The Federation…They have set up a special barrier around Haines School against our people."
"Even if the barrier is fractured by an external force, the people inside the barrier will also be affected. We have all left a special mark when the barrier exploded… The Federation, the Federation will track us through the mark. They are already on their way to catch up."
"I can't hide…"
"Go… Go to City of Darkness…"

1827 City of Darkness
After Gu Qingzhu finished her last sentence, her head tilted and she fainted again.
Fana had been observing Gu Qingzhu through the rearview mirror. When she saw that she had fainted again, she could not help but frown. She thought for a moment and asked, "Fang Heng, she just said that she was from the same race. Is she a demi-human?"
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
Indeed, the defensive barrier that was set up by the Federation was targeted at the demi-human race. Combined with Gu Qingzhu's words just now, it was very likely that she was a demi-human.
Therefore, he was just unlucky this time. He happened to encounter such a thing when he went to school to steal things!
Fang Heng nodded and replied, "Very likely."
Fana asked, "How credible do you think her words are?"
Fang Heng nodded again and pondered.
After Gu Qingzhu broke the outer barrier just now, the stars that fell when it exploded were very likely to be the traces left behind by the barrier.
Fang Heng tried to close his eyes again.
Not good!
There was still a blue net seal on the wooden door to enter the game.
His strength in the game was still sealed!
He was in big trouble!
Fang Heng opened his eyes and nodded as he replied, "Yes, it should be true."
He then asked, "What kind of place is the City of Darkness?"
"It's a special area. That place can block the perception and tracking of the outside world to a large extent. The Federation's control over that area is very low. Many factions have gathered together to occupy that area."
"They're all small fries who can't be seen in public. They're just a motley crew."
Fang Heng asked as he glanced at the unconscious Gu Qingzhu, "Is there anything else you can do to avoid the Federation's investigation?"
Fana thought for a moment and shook her head. She said, "There are indeed a few places that can avoid being tracked by the outside world. However, I can't confirm the type of tracking mark that is left on your body. I can't guarantee that it will be effective. The City of Darkness is indeed the most suitable place."
"Alright, let's go to the City of Darkness."
…
Haines School.
In the Federation command center, the entire special investigation team was working at full speed.
The first phase of the mission was not completed perfectly.
Gu Qingzhu, the hidden leader behind Sang Dazhi, broke through the blockade of the inspection team's elites at the last moment and escaped from the besieged area.
The higher-ups of the Federation's Inspection Bureau were furious. They immediately sent out an even stronger special team, demanding that the suspect, Gu Qingzhu, be arrested and brought to justice.
Kleinman was extremely excited.
He had caught a big fish, and it was an unexpected big fish!
However, Gu Qingzhu's strength had exceeded Kleinman and the Federation's Inspection Bureau's expectations.
The enemy was so strong that she could break through the encirclement of the Federation's investigation team!
"Team Leader, we've successfully captured Sang Dazhi and Chepo. Both of them are seriously injured and exhausted. They're being sent to a special medical institution for treatment. The situation doesn't look good. In addition, Gu Qingzhu is seriously injured. She has already broken through the school's periphery barrier and is currently fleeing. The casualties of the Inspection Bureau are still being tabulated."
"According to your instructions, all the entrances/exits and exits of the city have been sealed off. The Inspection Bureau has already mobilized special elites to pursue Gu Qingzhu. I believe there will be feedback soon."
Kleinman nodded lightly.
He had already laid down an inescapable net.
Gu Qingzhu…
She definitely couldn't escape!
Kleinman was already thinking about his next step.
When Gu Qingzhu was caught, he would use Gu Qingzhu as a starting point to eradicate the demi-human race forces hidden in the Central Federation's cities!
Kleinman pondered and noticed that his subordinate had not left and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"It's about Fang Heng. We're currently conducting a personnel investigation. When the incident happened, the two members who arrested Fang Heng were seriously injured and unconscious. We found that Fang Heng has temporarily disappeared."
"Yes."
Kleinman's expression darkened.
"He's still in school, right? Find him and arrest him immediately."
"We haven't found Fang Heng for the time being. In addition, the probe team found that there was another marked person who escaped with Gu Qingzhu."
There were companions?
Kleinman asked, "Who is it?"
The subordinate said hesitantly, "We're investigating. We haven't confirmed the target's identity yet. We believe that person is Fang Heng."
…
Under the night sky, Fana drove her car all the way.
On the way, she contacted the team from the Black Castle through a special channel.
"The location of the City of Darkness is outside the city. The incident that just happened in Haines School had a huge impact. The Federation has set up a periphery blockade of the city. We'll break through from the small road later. We'll run into the Federation's obstruction during this period."
Fana reminded, "Don't worry, our people are already in position. They will help us break through the Federation's defense line."
"Thank you. I owe you a favor again."
Fana nodded and replied, "You're welcome, Fang Heng. Our cooperation has always been very pleasant. Trust me, compared to what you've helped us with, this is nothing."
Fang Heng remembered this favor and glanced at Gu Qingzhu, who was unconscious beside him.
He didn't know if meeting Gu Qingzhu was a good thing or a bad thing.
The temporary loss of the ability to enter the game was a huge weakness for him.
Gu Qingzhu should have a way to recover.
Fang Heng had a strong premonition that through Gu Qingzhu, he would be able to figure out his secret.
Soon, the sounds of intense battle could be heard in front of them.
The Federation had already sealed off all the exits of the city as soon as they received the order from their superiors.
But the entire city was huge.
It was impossible to completely cut off all the entrances/exits and exits in a short period.
The plan that the Black Castle had prepared in advance was now showing its effect. They had arranged the escape route and were ready to fight the Federation head-on.
Now was the perfect time.
The Black Castle team had made their move in advance and cleared the obstacles for Fana.
Fana drove the off-road vehicle smoothly through the blockade set up by the Federation and made a detour in the direction of the City of Darkness.
"Thank you."
Seeing that he was out of danger, Fang Heng relaxed a little. He thanked her again and asked, "By the way, you haven't told me what kind of place the City of Darkness is."
Fana explained after some thought, "It's hard to give an exact definition. Do you know about the game rift?"
"Is it related to the game?"
"Yes, in recent years, the boundary between the world and the game has been gradually disappearing. Game rifts have appeared all over the world, and the frequency is increasing. The various regions and the Federation have been repairing new game rifts, and the investment in recent years has also been increasing."
"Most of the worlds connected to the game rifts are different, and most of them are one-way transportation channels. They can only enter our world from the other side. Once the rift appears, it will often cause a great disturbance in the local area."
"By the way, you've been to the Necromancer Association. The death realm crevice is also a type of game rift. Some rifts can be destroyed by the Federation, but there are also a few rifts that cannot be destroyed, so they can only be sealed."
"There is still a small portion of the seal that cannot be completely removed. The Federation can only lock the periphery areas."

1828 Black Fog
Fana paused and looked ahead. She said, "The rifts in the City of Darkness are extremely difficult to deal with, but it's still alright. Very few unknown creatures appear from the rifts in the City of Darkness. It's one of the least dangerous types."
"After observing the rift for a few years, the Federation adjusted the danger rating to the lowest level and designated the area around the rift as a forbidden area."
"There are special strength fluctuations in the City of Darkness area. Any communication and energy perception will be blocked after entering the area. This is extremely special."
"After that, the criminals discovered that the perception barrier could avoid a lot of trouble, so they all carried out some shady transactions in the rift area."
"As more and more people gathered, several small forces jointly established an underground trading point there. It is widely known as the City of Darkness."
Fang Heng understood.
The City of Darkness was probably an underground platform jointly built by several small underground forces doing some shady things in the dark.
Fana drove the car for more than two hours before slowing down and stopping at the edge of a forest.
Fang Heng checked his phone.
They had not officially entered the City of Darkness area, and their cell phone signal had completely lost its signal more than ten minutes ago.
Fang Heng stuck his head out of the car window and looked out.
There were a few thatched cottages built by the forest.
It was already late at night, and the lights in the thatched cottages were still on.
"Fang Heng, wait for me."
Fana said as she got out of the car and walked into one of the thatched cottages alone.
Soon, Fana left the thatched cottage with a cloth bag. She got back into the car and threw the cloth bag to Fang Heng in the backseat.
"What is this?"
Fang Heng opened the cloth bag and found that there were tiny shells inside.
"They are polar blue clam shells and have been processed with a special technique. Each one has a special mark."
"The inside of the City of Darkness is almost isolated from all communication with the outside world. It's also impossible to use the Internet, and even games are not allowed. Therefore, most of the transactions inside are barter trade."
Fana continued to explain, "These shells are hard currency. The few thatched cottages outside are an exchange point. You can use the shells here to exchange for Federation currency. One shell is worth 100,000 Federation coins."
"Alright."
Fana continued to drive the off-road vehicle forward until she stopped in front of a catacomb.
"We're here."
Fang Heng helped Gu Qingzhu out of the car.
In front of him was a mountain wall and there was a catacomb entrance on the wall.
"This is one of the entrances to the catacomb in the City of Darkness. Follow me."
Fana turned on the flashlight and stepped into the catacomb first, leading the way.
"There are many entrances to the City of Darkness, and the Federation will need a lot of manpower to guard this place completely. At first, Liu Anbang was worried that the game rift would spread, so the guards were very tight. After a scant years, they found that the rift was not dangerous, so to save money, they gradually weakened the defense strength."
"Later, this place was discovered by someone with ulterior motives."
"At first, it was just some small organizations and some people's private activities. Later on, it gradually developed on a large scale. A few small local forces joined forces to completely occupy this place and set the rules."
"The Federation has completely wiped out the forces in the City of Darkness several times before. However, after each annihilation, the City of Darkness would rise again within a scant months."
Fang Heng nodded and said, "It's understandable."
Fana reminded softly, "Don't look down on just a few small forces. Players from major forces often gather information and trade in the City of Darkness. It's also very dangerous inside."
"Yes, I understand."
Entering the catacomb, several forks soon appeared in front of them.
Fana wasn't familiar with the interior of the City of Darkness. She took out the map she had just bought in the small wooden house and compared it to the map.
After walking for about ten minutes, Fang Heng heard the sound of water flowing in front of them.
At some point in time, the surroundings were enveloped in a dark fog.
Walking in the fog, Fang Heng realized that his perception had also decreased significantly, in addition to his visual range.
It was related to this unidentified fog.
As Fang Heng thought about it, a layer of red darkness appeared in his pupils.
With the help of the night vision ability of the vampire bloodline, he could see further.
There was an underground lake ahead.
There were a scant small boats floating on the lake.
Many people were gathered by the lakeside, looking over.
When Fang Heng got closer, one of them waved at them and said, "Hey! Are you going to the City of Darkness?"
Fana whispered to Fang Heng, "I came here once with my companions when I was on a mission, so I'm not very familiar with this place. The inner city of the City of Darkness can only be reached after crossing the river. Let's go in and take a look. We'll find a place to treat Gu Qingzhu first. We'll make plans after she wakes up."
"Alright."
Fang Heng nodded and followed Fana to the lakeside.
The group of people on the lakeshore seemed to be in cahoots.
"Looks like you guys have met an enemy, right?"
A short and skinny old man walked up to him immediately.
He saw Fana and Fang Heng's unfamiliar faces and noticed Gu Qingzhu on Fang Heng's back. He smiled and said, "You've come to the right place. I guarantee that your enemies won't be able to find you. The entrance fee is very cheap. Two polar blue clam shells."
Fana immediately threw a small bag filled with polar blue shells at the old man.
"We'll be staying here for a scant days. We need someone to accompany us the entire time."
"I'm happy to be of service to the two bosses."
The old man opened the bag and took a look. He immediately smiled with wrinkles all over his face. He called out, "Xiaoqi, they need a guide. Take them there. Be smart. You have to let the boss know that their money is worth it."
"Alright!"
On the lake, a dark-skinned young man on the kayak agreed. He drove the kayak closer to the people on the shore and waved at them, "Bosses, please board!"
Fang Heng carried Gu Qingzhu and jumped onto the kayak.
Xiaoqi didn't look very old. He smiled honestly and waited for Fang Heng and Fana to sit down before driving the kayak along the underground lake.
"Are the two bosses looking for a doctor? There's only one relatively large medical center in our City of Darkness. The others are all small individual clinics. To be honest, their standards are very ordinary. The bosses don't seem to be short of money. It's better to go to a large medical center."
"Yes. After we enter the city, take us to a medical center to settle down."
"Alright."
The kayak went deeper into the underground river, and the black fog around it became thicker and thicker.
Fang Heng's perception was suppressed again.
He tried to reach out his hand.
The strange black fog was slightly different from the outside.
The black fog seemed to be attracted by something and moved closer to the humans.
This caused their bodies to be enveloped in a faint layer of black mist.
Once they were far away, everyone seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog, and it was challenging to see their faces clearly.

1829 A Good Place
"This is a good place…"
Fang Heng muttered in his heart and tried to perceive the black fog.
The black fog had a kind of absorption effect on his perception.
At least for now, the black fog around his body did not have any negative effects on his body.
Half an hour later, the kayak gradually converged into the main river along the river. After advancing for more than ten minutes, it arrived at the riverbank.
A city built in an underground cave appeared before Fang Heng's eyes.
The city was completely built underground. Coupled with the influence of the strange black fog, the communication system was completely ineffective, causing the entire city to be isolated from the outside world.
After getting off the boat, Xiaoqi brought Fang Heng and Fana into the city.
It was already midnight, but the inside of the City of Darkness still looked lively. People could be seen hurrying along the streets.
Everyone kept quiet at the same time. Their bodies were covered in a thin layer of black fog, adding a sense of solemnity and strangeness to the underground city.
"Is this your first time here? Let me give you a brief introduction. The ghost market is the largest trading market in our City of Darkness. You guys came at the right time. There will be many good things at the end of every month. You might be able to find some treasures. I heard that someone has found a holy weapon before."
Xiaoqi introduced the place as he led Fang Heng and Fana forward, "But there are also many scammers. If you two want to go shopping, you can bring me along. I might not be able to differentiate the good stuff, but I can help the bosses avoid the fakes…"
Fana interrupted, "Take us to the medical center first."
"Alright, bosses, please follow me."
Xiaoqi saw that the two of them were not interested in the ghost market, so he stopped talking and enthusiastically led the way, "The City of Darkness itself is not big. In front of us is the only medical center in the city. Oh right, this is the first time both of you are here. There are some things I have to remind the bosses so as not to delay your schedule."
Fana was as cold as ever as she said, "Yes, go ahead."
"Although the City of Darkness is not big, it is jointly managed by several gangs. The managers here usually wear hats with blue gemstones inlaid on them. If the leader encounters any disputes in the city, you can look for them. They can guarantee our safety to a certain extent."
"Theoretically, fighting and killing are prohibited in the City of Darkness. Of course, you also know this kind of thing can't be avoided. It's better to be careful."
"Also, I wonder if you have heard of the Mundt Gang? They are usually in the outer city and rarely seen in the city. If you encounter them outside the city, it's best not to have a conflict with them."
Hearing this, Fana frowned. She had never heard of this gang before.
"The Mundt Gang? A very powerful gang? You seem to be very afraid of them from what you said?"
"Haha, compared to the two bosses, it's naturally not worth mentioning." Xiaoqi laughed and continued to explain, "The Mundt Gang is a small syndicate that just entered the City of Darkness two years ago. After that, they have a firm foothold here. They are usually active in the outer city."
The City of Darkness was not big. It was divided into two urban areas, the north and south.
The entire Southern District was the ghost market area, while the Northern District was a living area.
Other than that, there were very few people outside the city.
After a few turns, they entered a medical center under Xiaoqi's lead.
Xiaoqi was familiar with the medical center. As long as they had enough money, Xiaoqi could invite the head to treat Gu Qingzhu personally.
The head of the medical center roughly examined the unconscious Gu Qingzhu, and there was a strange look in his eyes.
A terrifying self-healing ability!
The head immediately knew that he had encountered an extraordinary person. His tone became more cautious as he looked at Fang Heng and said, "Dear guests, the patient's injuries are very serious. Fortunately, the patient's physical condition is very good and she is already recovering on her own. There won't be any major problems. Our medical facilities are limited here. I will prescribe some medicine to assist in conservative treatment."
The head thought about his words and continued, "Given her physical condition, she'll wake up tomorrow. I'm sure the patient has a better therapy plan than me."
"Alright, we'll stay here for a while." Fana handed over a small bag filled with clam shells and said, "Help us arrange two rooms."
Beside them, the medical apprentice walked forward and said, "Yes, dear guests, please follow me. I'll bring you to your accommodation."
"Wait a minute."
Fang Heng reached out to stop the apprentice. He looked at the head and asked, "There's a tracking mark on the patient's body. Do you have any way to remove it?"
"Sir, you think too highly of us. We can only perform some basic therapy here. At most, we can treat external injuries. We can't deal with the tracking mark you mentioned."
Xiaoqi blinked as he listened. This was not what the head had uttered in the past. It was said that as long as enough money was given, he could cure all diseases.
Why was he so humble today?
"Okay, I got it. Sorry for the trouble."
Fang Heng nodded and followed the apprentice to the backyard.
Fana still had some doubts about Gu Qingzhu. She discussed it with Fang Heng and decided to stay alone to take care of Gu Qingzhu. Fang Heng would stay alone in the room next door.
Fang Heng returned to his room, washed up, sat on the bed, and tried to enter the game again.
He closed his eyes.
The entrance to the game appeared in front of him again.
It was troublesome!
The door was still sealed by the blue seal. Moreover, there was no sign of it weakening.
Fang Heng tried to push it forward. It couldn't be pushed open.
The blue seal wrapped around the door tightly. It was not something that he could push open with a casual push. It seemed that he could not use this move to enter the game at the moment.
Fang Heng thought to himself.
He could only stay in the City of Darkness for a while and wait for Gu Qingzhu to wake up tomorrow morning to see the situation.
Gu Qingzhu might have a better understanding of seals and knew how to break them.
Fang Heng opened his eyes and lay on the bed.
Yesterday, he was still a excellent student who was learning skills in school. Today, he suddenly became a fugitive hunted by the Federation.
The change happened too quickly.
Fang Heng tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Since he couldn't sleep, he might as well go outside and take a walk.
What if he could find a way to undo the tracking spell in the City of Darkness?
As he thought about it, Fang Heng got out of bed and greeted Fana, who was next door, before returning to the hall of the medical center.
Xiaoqi was sitting on a chair and chatting with the apprentices in the clinic. When he saw Fang Heng, he immediately went up to him.
"Boss, are you used to living here? What can I do for you?"
Fang Heng nodded and said, "Yes. Someone cast a tracking spell on me."
Xiaoqi immediately understood. He nodded and said, "Boss, there are a few in the City of Darkness that can solve this problem. They are all excellent at it. Do you know what kind of tracking technique they have set up?"
Fang Heng shook his head.
"That's a little troublesome. I'll take you to the biggest one first. I'm more familiar with that one. There's no problem with the technology and the service is the best. The price is a little high, but I won't charge you if they can't solve it."
"Okay, lead the way."

1830 Appraisal
An hour later, after going around in circles, Fang Heng and Xiaoqi returned to the entrance of the City of Darkness.
Xiaoqi's face was bitter.
They had tried more than ten of them.
Not to mention undoing the seal, none of them could even tell that Mr. Fang Heng had a tracking seal on him.
Xiaoqi suspected that if he didn't follow him, Mr. Fang would have been beaten out as a troublemaker.
"Mr. Fang, I'm sorry. We saw the last one just now."
"Mm, forget it."
Fang Heng waved his hand. He didn't have much hope, so he wasn't disappointed.
The tracking level of the seal on his body was very high. Furthermore, it was targeted at the demi-humans. It was normal for ordinary people to not be able to tell.
"Boss, are we going back now?"
"No, we're already here. Let's go to the ghost market on the way."
"Alright, boss, let me provide some recommendations."
Hearing about the ghost market, Xiaoqi suddenly became interested and led Fang Heng to the ghost market in the southern city.
The entire City of Darkness was not big.
The ghost market was the most lively area in the city, and it was jointly managed by several sects that occupied the ghost market.
At the entrance, players could rent a marked sign.
With a sign, one could set up a stall at the corresponding stall.
There were stalls on both sides of the streets of the ghost market, and the locations and stalls varied in size.
The prices were also different.
If they encountered any disputes in the ghost market, they could seek help from the sects to resolve them.
"Boss, the rules of the ghost market are that you pay for the goods. As long as the transaction is completed, no one will care even if you go back on your word immediately."
"In addition, most of the ghost markets are fake and defective. Of course, there are also good things, but most of them come from shady sources. You have to be more careful when you go out and use them."
Xiaoqi lowered his voice and whispered into his ear, "Also, Boss, the few stalls closest to the entrance are controlled by a few big gangs. The goods they sell are all verified and basically all fake. If you want to pick up the leftovers, you have to go to those small stalls."
"Yes."
The ghost market was filled with black fog just like the outside world. Everyone was covered in a thin layer of fog.
Fang Heng strolled, following Xiaoqi's reminder, he avoided a few large stalls at the entrance and strolled around some small stalls with interest.
In the past, he had bought most of the items related to the game online.
This was the first time he had visited a stall in the offline world.
Most of the stalls sold interesting gadgets.
After visiting a few stalls, Fang Heng quickly realized something.
The ghost market and the City of Darkness were too compatible!
The black fog in the City of Darkness could absorb perception, which would greatly affect the buyer's judgment of the items for sale.
However, it did not affect him much.
Fang Heng stopped in front of a stall and focused his attention on a jade talisman.
A faint dark light flashed on the jade talisman.
"Can I take a look?"
The young stall owner sat on a small stool behind the stall. He glanced at Fang Heng and smiled, "Boss, you have good eyes. The rules of the ghost market are that you can touch it, but you can't take it."
Fang Heng reached out to touch the jade talisman.
When his fingers touched the jade talisman, he felt a cold feeling.
Necromancy!
Fang Heng immediately sensed something and raised his head to ask, "How much?"
At the same time, a line of game notifications appeared in the lower right corner of his retina.
[Hint: The player has discovered a special item-ghost curse jade talisman.]
Item: Ghost curse jade talisman.
Level: B.
Description: An excellent exhibit for the graduating students of the Necromancer Association. Its highlight is that it can automatically absorb energy from the environment to recharge, achieving the effect of repeated use.
Description: After use, randomly release 1-2 low-level necromancy spells on targets within range. After use, it will take 24 hours to charge (in special environments, charging speed will fluctuate).
The stall owner extended a palm to Fang Heng and said, "Five hundred, or something I like to exchange for."
"Ha, it's too expensive…"
Fang Heng put down the jade talisman in his hand and stood up to leave.
He couldn't help but laugh.
According to the valuation, it was equivalent to 50 million Federation coins.
To purchase such a thing?
He was asking for an exorbitant price!
After thinking about it, Fang Heng felt that he couldn't make such a complete evaluation.
Low-tier undead spells were mostly very weak and couldn't play a decisive role at the current stage. Moreover, they were random spells and were too unstable.
However, the fact that it didn't need to expend spiritual energy and use it repeatedly was the highlight of this jade talisman.
To normal people, this jade talisman was very useful.
Along the way, Fang Heng realized that most of the stalls were selling fake goods.
Some of them were indeed low-end items in the game.
Without exception, they were all extremely expensive, and they were not very useful to him.
Xiaoqi followed behind Fang Heng, and the way he looked at Fang Heng was also a little strange.
All the items that Mr. Fang had set his eyes on and asked for a price for were worth at least 100 clam shells.
This foresight!
Even the sect's Elder Liu was not as powerful as him.
After strolling around for a while, Fang Heng's curiosity waned.
That was true.
How could there be so many 'leaks' for him to pick up?
For the remaining two-thirds of the journey, Fang Heng took a quick look around, preparing to go back early.
Eh?
Fang Heng stopped in front of a stall.
Before he arrived, many people had already gathered in front of a stall.
The young man sitting behind the stall looked a little vigilant. He sat on the ground and looked around from time to time.
Seeing so many people surrounding him, Fang Heng was a little curious, so he went closer to take a look.
There were some decorations placed in front of the stall.
They looked a little old.
Candles, candlesticks, crystal decorations, porcelain bottles, broken stones, wooden blocks with patterns, and so on.
Fang Heng's pupils contracted.
Eh? This is…
Fang Heng noticed something was wrong and couldn't help but squat down.
Through his perception, he could distinguish some things.
All the items in front of the stall could absorb perception without exception!
It had similar characteristics to the black fog that enveloped the City of Darkness.
The two were related!
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he tried to reach out to touch the candlestick.
[Hint: The player has discovered an unknown special item-Candle stand (Unappraised).]
An unappraised item!
Interesting!
Along the way, they finally found something interesting.
Most low-level items did not need to be appraised.
The appearance of an unidentified entry meant that there might be something good.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention around him, Fang Heng lowered his head and pulled down the brim of his hat.
Swoosh!!
The reflection of an alchemy array appeared in his right eye!
The alchemy array spun rapidly.
The omniscient eye.
Special effect-Appraisal!
Blood flowed out of his eyes.
[Hint: The player has consumed HP and MP to appraise the target item.]
[Hint: Appraisal successful.]
Item-Candle stand is surrounded by an aura.
Type: Ritual item.
Effect: When carrying out certain mystical rituals, it can have a favorable or adverse effect on the ceremony (the probability of success of the ritual will fluctuate by around 1% to 1.5%).

1831 Ritual Item
A ritual Item?
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
It was no wonder that the items placed on the stall could emit a similar aura.
The aura came from the same source as the aura that enveloped the entire City of Darkness.
Could the City of Darkness be related to it?
Fang Heng couldn't help but have an idea. He looked up at the stall owner and asked, "The price?"
"50."
"All of them?"
"One. Choose any one. No matter how big or small, it's the same price."
Fang Heng threw a small bag full of shells over and said, "I want one."
"Friend, you know about this?"
Fang Heng turned his head to look.
The middle-aged man who had been watching from the side cupped his hands at him and handed over a small bag of shells.
"Little Brother, to be honest with you, I also feel that this thing is a little interesting. However, I really can't tell what it is. I feel that it's strange. Can you help me solve my doubts?"
"Yes."
Fang Heng took the clam shells and picked the glass bottle with the strongest absorption ability from a stall based on his perception. He casually mentioned, "It's a ritual item. The aura on it is very similar to the aura in the City of Darkness."
"Thank you, Little Brother."
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he immediately looked at the boss. He said, "Boss, I want five."
The stall owner put away the clam shells and nodded.
"Choose."
The stall owner had just finished counting the shells and stuffed them into his backpack when he suddenly saw something and his expression changed.
He was even more nervous than before, and there was even a hint of panic. He urged, "Stop picking! It's all the same, hurry up! Hurry up!"
The middle-aged man was unwilling. He frowned and replied, "I've already spent money. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Fang Heng looked back curiously.
Behind them, a group of people led by a monkey-faced player came to explore the stalls one by one.
The stall owner had noticed them.
Coincidentally, the young man who led the way raised his head and saw them.
He seemed to have discovered something. He pointed at the stall owner and shouted, "Over there!" It's him!"
"Take him down! Don't let any of them leave!"
The people following behind the young man immediately squeezed through the crowd and pounced on the stall owner.
The stall owner's expression changed drastically when he saw this. He did not even want the things on the stall anymore and pushed aside the crowd to escape in a hurry!
"Ha! Do you still want to run?! Chase after him!"
Whoosh! Swoosh!
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
The black fog surrounding the stall owner showed a weak fluctuation. The fog under his feet quickly condensed into a ball and wrapped around the stall owner's ankle.
"Plop!"
The stall owner suddenly felt as if something had grabbed his feet tightly. He staggered and lost his balance, falling forward and then onto the ground.
A group of people behind him immediately rushed forward to subdue him and pull him up.
"Take him away!"
A group of people quickly surrounded the people who had gathered in front of the stall.
The middle-aged man in the lead took half a step forward and stood in front of everyone.
There was an obvious scar on his face, which looked extremely terrifying and gave people a ferocious feeling.
"I'm Mundt Gang's Yin Mo."
Yin Mo paused as he spoke. He looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "This person just broke into the Mundt Gang's holy land. The things he sells here are all stolen from the holy land. Everything belongs to the holy land. We need to reclaim them."
The Mundt Gang?
Fang Heng was curious.
Previously, he had heard Xiaoqi talk about the Mundt Gang.
This group of people gathered outside the City of Darkness most of the time.
What was this holy place they were talking about?
"Heh."
A middle-aged man with a bald head and a thick neck among the crowd snorted and said, "I don't know about the Mundt Gang. I only know that I bought it from him. There's no reason for me to hand it over. I pay for it, and I get it. This is the rule here. You can't break the rule with just a word."
The other gamers naturally did not want to return the items they had spent a lot of money on, so they started to cheer.
Yin Mo nodded at one of his subordinates beside him. The latter immediately took out a bag filled with clam shells and threw it over.
"Can we do it now?"
The bald man opened the bag and took a look. He put on a posture of raising the price, "You want to buy it now, right? What a coincidence, I still want to sell it! I just spent 50 yuan on it. If you want it now, you have to double it."
Upon hearing this, the people from the Mundt Gang behind Yin Mo surrounded him.
Yin Mo reached out to stop his subordinates
"Give it to him."
The subordinate reluctantly took out another bag of polar blue clam shells and threw it at the middle-aged man.
"Hehe, you guys are really rich." The bald man weighed the bag in his hand and sighed, "But I'm sorry, I changed my mind. I'm not selling it."
Yin Mo stared at that person and asked, "How much do you want?"
"Ten times!"
Yin Mo suddenly narrowed his eyes. Coupled with the scar on his face, he looked exceptionally fierce.
The thick-necked bald man was naturally confident in his aggressiveness. He did not come alone. The dozen or so people behind him had also gathered together to get into position.
Fang Heng could not help but take a small step back.
That was strange.
He was just buying something. How did he get involved in such a mess?
Didn't they say that the ghost market's security was alright?
Fang Heng reached out to touch the glass bottle hidden in his pocket.
Whoosh!
The glass bottle flickered slightly and was stored in the game space warp backpack.
"Wu wu…"
Seeing that both sides were about to start fighting, suddenly, the entire ghost market was filled with the sound of chirping.
What was going on?
The people from the Mundt Gang heard the cry and looked at Yin Mo.
Yin Mo frowned and said, "Pack your things. Let's go!"
The people of the Mundt Gang did not delay any longer. They immediately packed up the remaining stalls and quickly evacuated from the ghost market.
When the remaining players in the ghost market heard the alarm, their expressions changed.
The stall owners acted as if they were facing a great enemy and began to pack up.
It was strange. What's wrong?
Just a moment ago, it looked as if there was going to be a fight, but now they were going to leave?
Fang Heng was doubtful and looked at Xiaoqi, "What's wrong?"
"It's an emergency signal from the City of Darkness. There are intruders."
"Intruders?"
Xiaoqi was also nervous. He nodded and said, "Yes, they are from the Federation."
Fang Heng suddenly felt that something was wrong.
As soon as they arrived in the City of Darkness, the Union began to take action against the City of Darkness.
He believed that there was a connection between the two.
"This has happened in the past. From time to time, the people of the Union would carry out a wave of crackdowns in the City of Darkness to boost their performance. However, in recent years, the people of the prominent factions in the City of Darkness would spend money to bribe them. There are rarely such sudden searches."
Xiaoqi felt that the situation wasn't looking good and hurriedly said, "Boss, the situation doesn't look good. The alarm level this time is the highest. Let's go back to the clinic to take a look."
"Okay, let's go back first."

1832 The Pursuit
Outside the cave at the periphery of the City of Darkness.
Two hours ago, the Federation confirmed that Gu Qingzhu's aura had disappeared from the City of Darkness.
The Federation requested for immediate action.
It only took less than an hour for the Federation to seal off the periphery of the City of Darkness.
Gu Qingzhu was the biggest target of the Federation's mission this time.
They definitely couldn't let her go!
Kleinman had heard of the game rift in the City of Darkness.
The Central Federation had too many troublesome matters to deal with. They could not always deploy manpower to guard the rift, nor could they think of a way to permanently resolve the rift.
Every time the city was completely cleaned up, there would be a lack of follow-up effective control, and it would soon rise again.
Aside from the Central Inspection Bureau, the Federation's military was also involved in this operation.
The higher-ups had already issued orders. In addition to capturing Gu Qingzhu, the entire City of Darkness was to be thoroughly cleaned up.
In the conference room, the commander of the Federation's military, Zhou Chen, looked around at everyone.
"The inside of the City of Darkness is filled with a black fog that blocks perception. This will greatly affect our operations. We will slow down and gradually enter the City of Darkness to investigate to prevent the target from escaping in the chaos."
"Minister Zhou, you're thoughtful. The military will be in charge of the battle. The Inspection Bureau will provide information on Gu Qingzhu's location. We'll give you feedback as soon as we have any information. If you need anything else, we'll cooperate."
Kleinman nodded and said, "Our investigation team will also provide all kinds of information and cooperate with the military."
"Thank you."
Soon, Kleinman heard the sounds of fight coming from outside the temporary camp.
The players inside the City of Darkness had noticed that something was wrong and were trying to break through the various secret passages.
The few small gangs that controlled the City of Darkness were no match for the Federation's military. Soon, the sounds of fighting gradually stopped, and the first batch of players who tried to escape were arrested without exception.
At the same time, in the City of Darkness, Fang Heng hurried back to the medical center.
Gu Qingzhu's self-recovery ability was not bad. After resting for a while, the external injuries on her body had mostly recovered. With Fana's help, she changed into a set of clean clothes.
"How's the situation?"
"She's still unconscious. There seems to be trouble outside?"
Fang Heng nodded and said, "It's the Federation. They're here."
Fana frowned and looked at Fang Heng, saying, "They should be looking for us. What shall we do? Think of a way to leave?"
Fang Heng shook his head.
Not good.
The Federation's goal was to capture Gu Qingzhu. With their usual style, they would most likely set up heavy guards at the exits outside the City of Darkness.
Escaping in a rush was just walking into a trap.
Secondly, the Federation followed the mark on their bodies. If they stayed in the City of Darkness, they could still use the strange black fog inside the City of Darkness to track them.
Once they left the City of Darkness, they would lose the protection of the black fog.
Even if they could break through the periphery, they would still be pursued by the Federation.
Instead of running, it was better to think of a way to hide.
Soon, the medical center became chaotic and noisy.
The situation looked worse.
"Dong dong…"
There was a knock on the door.
Xiaoqi shouted from outside the door, "Bosses! Is it convenient for me to come in?"
Fana opened the door.
"Mr. Fang."
On the way back, Xiaoqi and Fang Heng separated temporarily and went to find out what was happening outside.
At this time, he had received first-hand information and rushed back to report.
"How's the situation outside?"
"I've just checked. It's very bad. The people of the Federation have obstructed all the entrances and exits outside our city. It looks like they're going to clear our city completely. I'll take both of you and evacuate through the emergency exit first."
"Can we leave?"
Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly and said, "We've been making a living in the City of Darkness, so we know a few hidden entrances and exits. We can take advantage of the chaos and escape through the small exits. Hurry up, or it'll be too late."
"No, we're not leaving."
Fang Heng shook his head and refused. He asked, "You're very familiar with the City of Darkness. Do you know where we can conceal here?"
Hide?
Xiaoqi's face showed doubt when he heard that.
If there was a chance to run, why not?
What did he mean by hiding?
"Bosses, it's very dangerous to stay here…"
Fana interrupted coldly, "There is, or not? Answer my question."
Xiaoqi shuddered.
"Yes, yes. Uncle Liu built an emergency safety zone in the middle of the secret passage for safety. We can conceal there but it's still too dangerous. Once the safety zone is discovered, we won't be able to escape."
"Take us there first."
"This…" Xiaoqi saw that Fang Heng and Fana were determined. He nodded helplessly and said, "Alright, bosses, follow me."
Fang Heng carried the unconscious Gu Qingzhu on his back and left the room with them.
Most of the people in the hall of the medical center had already left, and it looked like a mess.
When the news of the Federation besieging the outside of the City of Darkness reached the city, the entire city was in chaos.
Different from the previous main passage, this time Xiaoqi brought Fang Heng and the others to a dark river in the west of the city.
"Bosses, please wait here for a moment. I'll go and sail the boat."
Xiaoqi said and jumped into the river.
Soon, Xiaoqi poked his head out of the lake and swam towards the wooden pier, pulling out the wooden boat hidden below.
"Boss, hurry up and get on the boat. The passage is just…"
As Xiaoqi spoke, he noticed Fang Heng and the others' gazes and couldn't help but look behind him.
On the surface of the lake, more than ten small boats were rapidly rowing towards them.
Xiaoqi saw the figure standing on the leading wooden boat. His eyes lit up. He waved and shouted, "Uncle Liang!"
Uncle Liang's expression was a little ugly.
When the ship approached, he said to Fang Heng and the others, "There's no need to board the ship. Go back. The Federation is serious this time. All the exits outside have been sealed. Going there would only be sending yourself to death."
Xiaoqi became even more nervous when he heard that, "Ah, this… This…"
The middle-aged man behind Uncle Liang said, "What bad luck. We were just thinking of taking you guys away. We didn't expect to meet the people from the Federation's military. In the end, we were almost killed."
While everyone was getting off the boat, Uncle Liang said, "The people who came this time are all from the Federation's military. They're too strong, and they're very cautious. They didn't chase us when they met us. They searched carefully along the way. The few temporary safety points we set up definitely can't escape their eyes."
Fang Heng and Fana exchanged glances.
Even the Federation's military was mobilized.
The last trace of hope was dispelled.
There was no doubt that the Federation was here to find them.

1833 Gang
"Bosses, the Federation's arrival this time is strange. I'm afraid we can't hide from them. If the two bosses don't have any trouble with them, why don't you just stay here? You can come out very quickly after being locked up in the Federation for a few days. There's no need to risk your lives with us."
Uncle Liang paused and then said, "Otherwise, you can only go back with us and meet up with the local forces in the City of Darkness. If we gather together, we might be able to find a way out."
"Alright."
Surrendering and waiting for death was not an option.
They had to try if there was a chance of survival!
Fana said coldly, "Uncle Liang, there's no need to test us. We're in as much trouble as you are. Surrendering is impossible. I'll just go with you."
"Good!"
Without further ado, everyone immediately took action and returned to the inner part of the City of Darkness.
Fang Heng felt that things were getting more and more troublesome.
If he was alone, perhaps he could use the strength of the black fog to find a way to play hide-and-seek with the Federation in the City of Darkness. However, with the unconscious Gu Qingzhu…
He couldn't afford to play hide-and-seek!
Although these players' strength was average, they had spent most of their time in the City of Darkness and were extremely familiar with the terrain.
There might be a way!
…
By the time Uncle Liu brought the players to the edge of the river bank of the City of Darkness, a large number of players had already gathered there.
Everyone had been blocked in the City of Darkness, unable to advance or retreat.
The players were clamoring and venting their dissatisfaction, and the scene was getting out of control.
"D*mn, what's wrong with the Federation today?"
"Boss Li, didn't you already tell us that you've made arrangements with Federation?"
"Why didn't we receive any news this time?"
"Tell me, what do we do now?"
The gang leaders who controlled the City of Darkness had gloomy expressions.
"Shut up! The regional sheriff Rum and I have a life-and-death friendship, but he didn't even inform me in advance! It must be a secret operation of the superiors!"
Jite glared at the crowd and said fiercely, "I'm responsible for more than ten lives. I'm more afraid of being found by the Federation than you are!"
Jite was the leader of the most powerful small gangs in the City of Darkness.
Seeing Jite get angry, everyone quieted down.
Another gang leader saw this and tried to persuade him, "Boss Jite, don't be angry. The Federation is blocking the way outside. Everyone is panicking. That's why they're talking nonsense."
"That's right, Boss Jite. We're all on the same boat. You've been here for more than ten years, so you're most familiar with the environment here. You must know how to get out of here."
"Everyone wants to go out. They're too impatient. Boss Jite, just say the word and everyone will naturally follow your lead."
When Jite heard this, the anger in his heart subsided a little.
Only God knew what the Federation was going crazy about.
Just now, he had brought his subordinates to go outside to test the waters and see which department of the Federation was leading this operation. He wanted to get close to them.
He never expected it to be the Federation's military!
He had just revealed his face, and before he could even say a word, he was hit in the face by a few bullets from the other party.
If it wasn't for the fact that his subordinate had sailed the ship quickly, he might not have been able to keep his life!
In the past, the Federation had attacked the City of Darkness a few times.
However, this was the first time that the military was deployed.
"The Federation did not leak any information about this operation beforehand. They were also very cautious. They did not continue to pursue us after they encountered us. They continued to clean up along the way. I guess they want to catch us all in one fell swoop."
Jite had long realized how tricky the situation was. He snorted and looked at everyone before speaking, "So, don't even think about finding a place to hide. Judging from the Federation's current situation, you can't hide anywhere!"
"In my opinion, we should just fight it out with them. When they enter the city, we'll use the terrain to give them a hard time."
Everyone fell silent.
If they wanted to fight head-on, the casualties would be heavy.
Everyone was afraid of death.
Their opponent was the Federation's military!
The Federation's highest standard regular army!
The ending was already imaginable.
With just a mob like them?
It would be impossible to win against them.
Instead of fighting with them, they might as well surrender.
A small guild's boss asked while everyone was hesitating, "Do you think it's because of the issue over there? I don't think I've seen anyone over there."
Jite's expression changed when he heard that.
Ever since several small forces took control of City of Darkness, it had been peaceful.
Two years ago, the people of the Mundt Gang entered the City of Darkness and quickly rose to become the largest force.
Strangely enough, the Mundt Gang had never been involved in the distribution of interests in the City of Darkness. They had only occupied a small part of the city.
They were very restrained and had always been at peace with the other sects.
It was rare to hear that they had done anything out of line.
There was only one thing. Anyone who intruded into the outer area of the City of Darkness held by the Mundt Gang would be driven away by the Mundt Gang.
In the past two years, very few people entered the area occupied by the Mundt Gang.
He wondered what the Mundt Gang was up to in that area.
In fact, that area contained the core area of the game rift. The black fog surrounding it was extremely dense. In the past, when the Mundt Gang was not around, almost no one would go near it.
"Yes! We haven't seen the people of the Mundt Gang. Do they have a way to deal with the Federation?"
When all heard this, a trace of hope rose in their hearts.
Jite couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
He was different from most of the ordinary players present.
Two years ago, he had witnessed the power of the Mundt Gang when they first arrived.
He didn't dare to go there alone.
But now, so many people were assembled together.
He could give it a try!
"That makes sense! This matter has something to do with the Mundt Gang. Let's go to the Mundt Gang and request an explanation!"
"Let's go!"
"Go to the Mundt Gang!"
"Ask them for an explanation!"
He didn't care if the Federation was here for the Mundt Gang.
In any case, he would go over and take a look first!
The players knew this very well.
In any case, they could not defeat the Federation.
They were not going to survive. Why were the Mundt Gang hiding behind them?
In the worst-case scenario, he would drag the people of the Mundt Gang down with him!
Jite made up his mind. He assembled a group of players and fled aggressively in the direction of the Mundt Gang's camp outside the city.
"The Mundt Gang…"
In the crowd, Fang Heng and Fana looked at each other when they saw that the situation had changed.
Just nice.
He was also intrigued about the Mundt Gang.
…..
The entire underground cavern area of the City of Darkness was not large. The group left the city on the west side and rushed towards the base of the Mundt Gang.
As they got closer to the base of the Mundt Gang, the black fog in the air became thicker.
Fang Heng followed behind the team and carefully observed the surroundings.

"Dong dong dong…!"
Suddenly, several gunshots sounded.
Fang Heng raised his head and looked up.
A series of bullets were fired from the tall wooden sentry tower.
"Who is it?! The territory of the Mundt Gang is right in front! Outsiders are prohibited from entering! Leave this place immediately!"
Jite walked out from the crowd and took two steps forward. He shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Don't you know that the people from the Federation have already attacked? Let your boss come out and talk!"
There was a moment of silence on the sentry tower.
"Heh."
Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Jite sneered and the veins on his neck bulged. He continued to shout, "The City of Darkness is a land without a master. We are all ants living at the bottom of society, barely able to make a living here. It's fine that the Mundt Gang occupied this place in the past, but now that the people of the Federation are coming, you're stopping us from hiding! You want us to stay outside and fight the Federation?"
"You want us to die!"
"If you were me, what would you do?"
Jite's words were quite impactful. In addition, the pressure from the Federation outside was too great. When the players heard this, they were ignited with anger and their eyes turned red.
Fighting with the people of the Federation was a death sentence. If they were lucky, they would just spend the rest of their lives in prison.
It was like letting the Mundt Gang take advantage of them.
How could they tolerate such a thing?
Instead of doing this, he might as well fight with the people of the Mundt Gang and teach them a lesson.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Jite gave a cold 'humph' sound and gestured to his men to force their way into the base of the Mundt Gang.
He was sure that the people on the sentry tower would not dare to shoot!
Indeed, just as Jite had expected, the members of the Mundt Gang on the sentry tower did not dare to continue firing when they saw so many people. They hurriedly went to report the situation to the gang leader.
Fang Heng followed the main group into the interior of the Mundt Gang's encampment.
After entering the entrance of the sentry tower, he realized that there was a different world inside the base.
The higher part of the cave was shrouded in a thick fog, making it impossible to see clearly.
As for the passage on the ground of the cave, it was blocked by huge rocks.
Huge rocks and rock walls blocked the path ahead in a disorderly manner as if it had been deliberately transformed into a maze.
Beside him, Xiaoqi followed Fang Heng and stood inside the entrance of the Mundt Gang's encampment. When he saw this scene, his face showed a surprised expression. He sighed softly, "I didn't expect the Mundt Gang to be like this…"
"What's wrong? I remember you said that you grew up here but you have never been here before?"
"Not really. I've been here many times, but this place wasn't like this back then. Later, it was completely occupied by the Mundt Gang, and I haven't been here since."
Xiaoqi uttered and looked into the distance. He used his memory to point at the high place that was covered by thick fog and said, "That's the place. I remember it very clearly."
"That's the place with the densest aura, and it's also the most dangerous. There used to be a cave on the rock wall there. It's said that the game rift is there. In the past, there were often cases of people going missing near the game rift, so even if there was no Mundt Gang, very few people would go near it."
Fang Heng and Fana both looked up in the direction Xiaoqi pointed.
That area was covered by a thick black fog, and nothing could be seen clearly.
"In the past, the black fog wasn't that thick. I could still vaguely see an outline."
Xiaoqi whispered, "I heard Uncle Liu mention that before the Mundt Gang came to the City of Darkness, many big guilds and forces went there to investigate. They confirmed that there was nothing in there other than the game rift. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been occupied by the Mundt Gang."
While they were talking, Jite, who was leading the team, had already led his team into the base of the Mundt Gang.
Looking at the maze-like base that was built by the Mundt Gang, Jite's heart sank. He didn't know where to start.
While he was hesitating, the leader of the Mundt Gang and a group of people appeared from the black fog.
"Jite, why are you so angry? My people are a bit insensible. I apologize to you on their behalf."
It was a young man wearing a white brocade.
Unlike Jite, the leader of the Mundt Gang gazed very young and refined. At first glance, he looked like a university student with excellent character and learning.
How could such a person be a gang leader?
Meng Ruhui smiled and gazed at the leaders of the other forces behind Jite, saying, "In the past few years, the Mundt Gang has been getting along very well with the leaders. What's wrong today? I'm afraid it's not very good to barge into my base without informing me, right?"
Jite snickered and said, "There's nothing to be happy about. Your fist is bigger than mine. We couldn't beat you in the past, and we admit it. Today's situation is different. You know that the people from the Federation outside want us dead."
"Mr. Jite, you must be joking. I'm also having a headache about the outside world. We should cooperate in the face of a great enemy. How about this? Everyone can enter the base of the Mundt Gang. We can discuss how to deal with the Federation together."
Meng Ruhui already had a plan in mind before he came.
Time was of the essence, so he laid out his conditions directly. As he spoke, his expression became more serious, "But there is one thing I want to make clear. The deepest part of the base is the holy land of the Mundt Gang. We can cooperate, but please do not enter the holy land no matter what. This is our bottom line."
Meng Ruhui gazed at everyone and asked, "What do you think, bosses?"
Jite frowned and questioned, "Holy land? Don't tell me your people are hiding in the holy land and letting us fight to the death with the Federation outside?"
"No, our people will also fight alongside you on the outer perimeter. The interior of the holy land is very small, and there is absolutely no place to hide. I can swear on my life on this."
Jite stared at Meng Ruhui.
He did not believe in any nonsense about outsiders not being allowed to enter the gang's holy land.
He felt that there was probably something shameful in the holy land.
Meng Ruhui appeared very calm, and his tone revealed a bit of determination as he spoke, "This is my bottom line. If you don't agree, then we'll fight to the death. The Mundt Gang will accompany you to the end."
As he spoke, the two young men who had been standing behind Meng Ruhui took a step forward at the same time.
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
He identified one of them. It happened to be the muscular young man who had almost fought in the ghost market, Yin Mo.
Jite's expression changed several times when he saw the two of them. He did not know and was unsure about Meng Ruhui's strength. However, when the Mundt Gang had just arrived, the two men beside Meng Ruhui had already beaten up all the forces in the entire City of Darkness.
It was useless for him to spend money to hire external help.
They would all be beaten up.
The small forces that occupied the City of Darkness were not good people. It was only because they could not defeat them that they consented to the Mundt Gang occupying the outer area of the City of Darkness.
Later on, when they saw that the Mundt Gang did not affect their interests and that they were extremely careful, they simply turned a blind eye.

1835 Disguise
"Good! We'll do as you say!"
Jite had engaged with Meng Ruhui a few times, so he knew that the latter was a man of his word.
Since the other party had already relented, there was no need to fight to the end.
"A gentleman keeps his promise. I hope Mr. Jite will keep his promise."
Meng Ruhui waved his hand and signaled for the guard to retreat.
"Everyone, please follow me."
Meng Ruhui led everyone through the modified maze area.
The maze was shrouded in black fog, and his perception was suppressed to the extreme!
Fang Heng relied on his vampire bloodline blood perception ability to only sense within a range of less than five meters.
He observed his surroundings and couldn't help but praise in his heart.
The internal passages of the encampment were well-connected. It was indeed very suitable for guerrilla warfare against the Federation by taking advantage of the terrain.
Soon, under the arrangement of the Mundt Gang, the ordinary gang members who had come to take refuge were placed in groups in different caves to rest temporarily.
Fang Heng carried Gu Qingzhu on his back and was arranged to rest with Fana in the cave where the injured were.
Several gang leaders were brought to the parliament hall of the Mundt Gang to discuss how to deal with the Federation.
After a few rounds of discussion, they decided to defend the internal area of the Mundt Gang. They would try to use the terrain advantage to break up the people of the Federation.
"In that case, let's act according to the situation. This time, there are many dangers. We can only fight to the death to survive."
Meng Ruihui nodded at everyone.
Since two years ago, the Mundt Gang had established a firm foothold in the City of Darkness. They had been setting up internal defense facilities in the base to prevent any crisis.
He just didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
With the advantage of the terrain and the black fog, they could deal with the Federation for a while.
However, Meng Ruhui knew very well that they would not be able to hold on for too long.
The Mundt Gang also had intelligence sources in the Central Federation.
This time, the Federation's attack came without warning and was unusually swift and fierce. They did not leave any leeway in their attacks, as if they were determined not to give up.
Why?
Could it be that the news was leaked?
Impossible!
…
In the outside world, the Central Federation placed great importance on this operation.
They gathered the three departments, including the military, to work together to fight.
Kleinman led the Federation's special investigation team to provide information and provide advice.
It was not up to him to intervene in the specific battle command.
However, just now, he received a definite piece of news from his subordinate.
The investigation team finished up by taking stock of the information of the teachers and students in Haines School and confirmed the missing people.
Fang Heng was among them.
This meant that the aura that had escaped with Gu Qingzhu was very likely Fang Heng!
"Fang Heng…"
Kleinman felt a little angry.
He didn't notice this earlier!
Fang Heng's disguise was too good!
Before he came to Haines School, his old friend had entrusted him to take care of Qiao Wei. Unfortunately, he did not keep his promise.
Therefore, this time, he would not let Fang Heng escape!
In this way, he could answer to his friend.
"Kleinman, we've already sealed off the entire cave. I don't want to be too sure, but it won't be easy for Gu Qingzhu to leave."
"Thank you. That person is very important to the Central Federation. It would be best if you could find him alive."
"We will try our best."
While the two of them were talking, soldiers of the Federation were dragging corpses and prisoners out of the cave one after another.
A player from the Federation reported, "Sir, we've cleared all the entrances and exits of the caves outside the City of Darkness to the underground river. We're gradually cleaning up the interior of the City of Darkness."
"In addition, during the cleaning process, we found a special area guarded by people outside the city. A scouting team encountered a concentrated resistance force during the investigation and has temporarily withdrew outside the area."
"After asking the relevant personnel, we learned that this area belongs to a small local force called the Mundt Gang. Please give us your instructions!"
"The Mundt Gang…"
The military commander muttered. Then he turned to the people beside him and asked, "Have you heard of this name before?"
Everyone shook their heads.
The chief of the Inspection Bureau frowned and said, "The City of Darkness is a mix of bad guys and good guys. However, there are no resource points inside. Strangely, the Mundt Gang can block the probing of the military team."
Kleinman called one of his men over and commanded, "Go and investigate the background of the Mundt Gang. Hurry up."
The military commander nodded and said, "Let's complete the search of the City of Darkness first. Then, we'll eliminate the base of the Mundt Gang. I don't believe that a gang that we've never heard of can block all our people."
"Understood!"
…
Inside the cave, Fang Heng curiously sized up the layout of the cave.
The cave was not newly opened. It was about twenty meters deep and stored some basic resources.
Most of the wounded were gathered here. The rest of the combatants had been placed in other caves in batches. They would enter the maze area to assist Mundt Gang in the battle.
The players and injured players who did not have any combat ability did not cause any trouble. They stayed here to rest.
There was a shortage of combat personnel. There was not even a single guard at the entrance of the cave where they were resting. There were only people who came to warn them not to go out and run around so as not to affect the battle outside.
The strange thing was that the black fog seemed to be leaking out from the walls of the cave.
Fang Heng approached the rock wall and sensed it for a moment. He had already felt it the first time he entered the cave.
At this moment, as the fog thickened, Fang Heng could use his perception to check the strange power contained in the aura.
It seemed a little familiar. However, he could not tell where he had felt something similar.
He stayed where he was for a moment. Seeing that Gu Qingzhu showed no signs of waking up, Fang Heng looked at Fana and said, "I'm going out to check on the situation. I'll be back soon. Help me take care of her."
"Yes, I will. You be careful too."
Fang Heng left the cave.
In the outside world, the Federation team had already entered the area where the Mundt Gang was stationed.
The City of Darkness' side was divided into various teams, and with the help of special terrain and the black fog aura, they fought against the enemy.
The first wave of attacks from the Federation was quickly repelled.
However, the crisis did not recede.
The second batch of soldiers from the Federation army arrived one after another. They gathered from the periphery and blocked the entrance of the entire encampment.
Soon, half an hour later, the Federation's second wave of targeted attacks was officially launched.
The Federation used small teams as units to enter the encampment.
The military's hard power was much higher than the City of Darkness' mob.
The situation was not optimistic.
As the maze area was filled with black fog that could absorb his perception, even Fang Heng found it difficult to figure out the route.
After leaving, he could only move forward with his sixth sense.
He didn't know if he was going in the right direction.
Suddenly, Fang Heng's heart moved.
The sound of a chase came from ahead.

1836 Wounded
Fang Heng immediately hid behind a vertical stone pillar and poked his head out to observe.
More than a dozen players from the Mundt Gang were fighting against a small regular army of the Federation.
The members of the Mundt Gang were no match for them.
It remotely looked like a battle between the two, but in reality, the Mundt Gang was being chased by the federal team all the way.
It was only because they were in the black fog that the Federation army team was afraid of an ambush. They did not dare to chase into the depths of the fog but instead pursued cautiously. Otherwise, the players from the Mundt Gang would have suffered worse.
Someone in the team was already injured.
"Bang! Bang!!"
The Federation army players continued to fire and chase.
Outside of the game, the guns used by the Federation were also extremely practical long-range weapons, especially the standard equipment provided by the military.
The weapons were equipped with the highest level of technology in the Federation. The bullets fired could cause additional damage and various additional negative effects on any living creatures.
Aktu led his team from the Mundt Gang and had just encountered a smaller federal team. He had been thinking of taking them down, but he did not expect that their opponents would be tough.
Not only did he not gain any advantage, but he was also seriously injured by the bullet. Right now, he was being chased by the Federation.
"Bang!!"
Another gunshot.
Aktu's pupils contracted as he felt a sharp pain in his back and shoulders. Following that, his entire body staggered forward from the huge impact of the bullet.
It was him!
Fang Heng saw Aktu's appearance.
The two muscular players had been following Meng Ruhui, the leader of the Mundt Gang, earlier.
One of them was Yin Mo, and the other was the person in front of him.
He had heard Xiaoqi say that the three of them had grown up together and their feelings for each other were stronger than brothers.
"Boss!"
A few members of the Mundt Gang immediately came forward to help him.
It was not an ordinary bullet. It was from a high-energy sniper rifle.
A bloody hole appeared on Aktu's shoulder from the bullet!
"Let's go!"
Aktu endured the pain and tried to stand up, but he felt his legs go soft and almost fell to the ground.
"Don't worry about me. You guys go first!"
Aktu shouted and was about to let the others go first when he suddenly saw a figure appear from behind the stone pillar. He frowned.
He was not from the Federation but he looked very unfamiliar.
Was he the person who came with Jite?
Why was he running around alone?
Aktu was about to speak when he heard Fang Heng shouting at him, "You guys go first! I'll block them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Heng had already dashed toward the Federation's people.
"Don't go!"
What a reckless fellow!
Aktu's heart skipped a beat. He did not expect this guy who had appeared out of nowhere to be so fierce, charging straight into the midst of the enemies.
"Dong dong! Dong dong dong!!!"
When the people of the Federation saw the figure approaching quickly from the black fog, they immediately stopped their search and fired at the figure.
Dense bullets poured out!
"Pa, pa, pa…"
Fang Heng relied on his agility attribute to forcefully dodge the bullets in the black fog!
The bullets were so dense that he couldn't completely dodge them. One bullet grazed his body and he quickly hid behind a stone pillar.
[Hint: The player has been attacked by an unknown poison…]
[Hint: The player has received the fatigue and drowsiness effect…]
[Hint: Affected by the effect of 'undying body', some negative effects have been removed…]
[Hint: The player is affected by an unknown effect. The player is immune to this effect…]
After being hit by the bullet, several negative effects immediately appeared on his retina.
They were special bullets used by the Federation's military and they spelt trouble for ordinary players.
Fortunately, they were ineffective against him.
Furthermore, Fang Heng had already switched to his sacred form before joining the battle. The sacred form had a good resistance to all kinds of abnormal conditions.
In addition to his significant HP and the terrifying percentage of HP recovery effect of the undying body, as well as the ability to remove physical negative effects…
He could completely withstand it!
Aktu was shocked when he saw this.
Where did this guy come from?
Why was he so strong?
One person could withstand the damage output of an entire federal team?
Without any skill buffs, Fang Heng was already extremely fast in the eyes of ordinary people just by relying on his agility attribute bonus!
Taking advantage of the terrain, he kept dodging back and forth between the stone pillars. He quickly approached the federal team and tried to find an opportunity to attack.
"Where did this imp come from? Get lost!"
Suddenly, a figure dashed out from the federal team!
"Whoosh!"
The Federation officer, Rhett, had predicted Fang Heng's movement in advance. He jumped out from the side and punched forward!
Fang Heng saw the other party and narrowed his eyes. The basic attributes he inherited outside the game were not low. He wasn't afraid of a head-on clash!
Come on!
Fang Heng saw that he could not dodge, so he decided not to dodge. He also raised his fist and punched out!
"Bang!"
As the fists collided, Fang Heng instantly sensed a terrifying force blasting toward him, and his body flew back uncontrollably.
What brute force?
Fang Heng was shocked!
He was sent flying by the other party's punch, and his back slammed heavily into the stone pillar behind him with a thud!
Fang Heng quickly got up and looked at the middle-aged man in the uniform of a federal officer in front of him. His eyes flickered with surprise.
His strength attribute was stronger than his?
The Federation's military was indeed difficult to deal with.
It was no wonder that the Mundt Gang could not stop them.
The difference in strength was too great!
The federal officer, Rhett, also took a few steps back after the punch. He looked at Fang Heng, who was shrouded in the black fog, and his eyes were also flashing with surprise.
After unlocking Tier 3 of "lock", he relied on the bonus of his fist skill and the support of his close combat talent, Overlord Fist. Very few people in the real world could fight him in close combat.
He did not expect to meet an opponent in such a place today, and someone, the opponent looked so young!
He was not an ordinary person!
Rhett had a plan in his mind. He reached out his hand to signal his men not to shoot. He gazed at Fang Heng and laughed, "Good! This kid is very interesting! How was it? Are you convinced? If you're not convinced, let's continue again!"
Fang Heng looked at Aktu and his men who were retreating with the help of their companions and twisted his neck.
The people from the military were a little crazy.
If it was in the game, he would have used his zombie clones to fight back a long time ago. He would not have been so aggrieved!
"Heh, so what? Why would I be afraid of you?"
Fang Heng's lips curled into a disdainful smile. He changed his angle and assailed Rhett again!
"Hahaha! Good! You have guts!"
Rhett laughed and quickly charged toward him.
Both sides were dueling intensely. Behind them, Aktu stood up again with the help of the crowd and retreated. He stuffed a few pills into his mouth and bandaged himself to stop the bleeding from the injuries on his body.
Looking at the young man who was engaged in a intense battle with the Federation's military, Aktu was surprised.
Where did this person come from?
He gazed younger than him.
He could actually fight to a stalemate with the Federation's military?

1837 Rescue
"Hahaha! Young people are interesting! Helping these people who commit crimes will not end well. How about joining our military? I'll vouch for you. Come back with me, and all your past mistakes will be written off."
Rhett rarely had such a comfortable time.
Yet, his strength was still able to suppress the other party.
When he realized that this kid was like a cockroach that could not be killed, he immediately became even more interested.
Fang Heng was a little speechless. He thought to himself, "You can't protect me from what I've done."
He looked behind him and saw Aktu gesturing at him. Should he stall for more time?
Fang Heng looked at Rhett and smiled. He said, "Alright if you can defeat me, I'll go back with you!"
"Hahaha! Good! Then I'm going to be serious!"
Rhett laughed. He felt that the young man in front of him seemed like him when he was young. He wanted to recruit him. His expression changed slightly and became serious.
"Whoosh!!"
Under the influence of the black fog, Rhett tapped the ground lightly and disappeared from Fang Heng's sight in the blink of an eye.
His speed had increased again!
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
Under the shroud of the black fog, it was impossible to tell the other party's movements with just one's eyes!
Perception!
Fang Heng immediately released his perception and roughly estimated Rhett's movement trajectory through his blood perception.
Pre-judgment!
Bang!
He threw a punch forward!
Fang Heng felt his fist hit the other party, and then an even stronger strength surged over.
"Bang!"
Fang Heng was sent flying again!
"Good!"
Rhett praised Fang Heng again as he was impressed by him.
Fang Heng was blown away and knocked against the stone pillar rear him. His body was in pain as if it was falling apart.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to stand up again. He relied on the effect of the undying body to quickly recover from his external injuries.
Eh?
Suddenly, several game notifications flashed across his retina.
[Hint: The player has entered a special area. The player is affected by a special strength and has entered a state of stamina depletion. The player's skill will undergo an additional authentication. If the authentication fails, the current skill will fail. The player's attack will consume twice as much stamina.]
[Hint: In the special area, the player's stamina will continue to decrease.]
Hint?
That's right! It was the fog!
Fang Heng immediately realized that the fog that enveloped the interior had changed!
The black fog became more condensed than before.
Not only did it further affect perception, it could even affect his stamina!
"Take this!"
Fang Heng suddenly heard Aktu's shout from behind. He immediately turned around and grabbed a pill that Aktu had thrown at him.
Fang Heng glanced at the yellow pill in his hand and swallowed it.
[Hint: The player has used an unknown drug]
[Hint: The player has been weakened by the loss of stamina…]
The effect of stamina points loss was suppressed.
With Aktu's pills, the effect of the stamina exhaustion was reduced by half.
The players from the Federation army who entered the cave did not have it easy.
They couldn't further get the game notification.
Most people had yet to realize the change in the black fog.
"Again!"
Rhett was very strong in close combat, but his perception was much weaker. He didn't receive any notifications from the game, so he didn't notice the abnormality of the black fog around him.
"Whoosh!!"
Seeing Fang Heng get up again, Rhett accelerated his movements and attacked Fang Heng.
"Bang!!!"
He swung his fist forward and punched Fang Heng, who was in a defensive position, again! He slammed into the giant stone pillar behind him!
"Boom!!!"
Fang Heng stood up shakily once again. The injuries on his body healed rapidly.
Rhett looked at Fang Heng with admiration.
The more intense the battle, the more he felt that the young man in front of him was filled with tenacity. After being attacked with such brute force, he still didn't fall.
He was a natural-born warrior!
However, he soon noticed something strange. He started to pant and felt a little tired.
This was very abnormal.
In the past, he would only feel tired after five minutes of continuous high-intensity battles.
What was going on today?
The battle had only been going on for less than three minutes. It was far from being a high-intensity battle. Why did he feel tired?
Was his combat strength starting to weaken?
Rhett's perception was weak, but he was very sensitive to the changes in his body. He quickly retreated when he understood that something was wrong.
What was going on?
When he looked up again, he saw that Fang Heng did not continue to hold on after standing up from the ground. Instead, he ran away without looking back and fled into the dense black fog.
Rhett frowned, feeling further stranger.
A soldier walked over and asked, "Captain, are we still chasing?"
"Wait a moment." Rhett signaled his men to calm down and gave the command, "This fog is strange. Let's retreat first."
In the maze encampment, the other small teams from the Federation who were trying to explore soon understood that something was wrong.
The players of the Mundt Gang had undergone special training. They did not linger in battle. Instead, they fought and ran, using harassment tactics to continuously consume the opponent's stamina. They would wait until the federal team has used up more than half of their stamina points before confronting them!
There was a problem!
The black fog was abnormal!
Within the range of the black fog, the rate at which one's stamina decreased was extraordinary!
They had thought that it was just a cave and that they would be able to defeat their opponents. They did not expect to encounter such an abnormal situation.
Soon, the small teams from the Federation branch began a large-scale retreat.
…
"Friend! Over here! Follow me!"
Aktu waved his hand at Fang Heng from behind, waiting for him to regroup before retreating quickly.
"Thank you for earlier. How should I address you?"
"You're welcome, I am Fang Heng."
"Brother Fang Heng, you're still the best. The Federation's armed forces is just like what the outside world says, difficult to deal with. I almost lost my life."
Aktu sighed.
He originally thought that he could defeat a small team from the Federation with his full strength. He did not expect that he would fail to do and instead, he was seriously injured.
If not for Fang Heng's help, he and the entire team might have been completely wiped out.
"Fortunately, Big Brother has made arrangements. The armed forces seems to have retreated. I'll bring you back first."
"Yes."
Fang Heng followed Aktu back to the hall of the headquarters of the Mundt Gang.
The hall of the Mundt Gang was built in the depths of the black fog.
The situation was urgent, and the headquarters hall was temporarily used as a meeting hall for the players.
On the way back, Fang Heng and Aktu saw injured people being carried to the headquarters for treatment.
In the hall of the headquarters, many gang leaders from the City of Darkness had already rushed back in advance and were discussing something with Meng Ruhui.
Meng Ruhui saw Aktu returning with injuries. He hurried forward and asked with concern, "How are your injuries? Are they serious?"
Aktu looked guilty as he spoke, "I'm sorry, big brother. I've embarrassed our gang. I'm fine. I'll be able to continue fighting after resting for a while."
"Yes, don't force yourself."
Meng Ruhui patted Aktu's shoulder with concern. Then, he looked at Fang Heng who was rear him, and asked, "Who is this?"

1838 Operation
"This is Brother Fang Heng. Thank you for your help just now."
Meng Ruhui nodded and said, "Thank you for your help, Brother. I'll remember it in my heart. If I have the chance to survive this crisis, I'll definitely repay you handsomely in the future."
"You're welcome."
Fang Heng saw that the gang leaders had something to discuss, so he walked to a corner of the hall and sat down to rest.
Aktu asked, "Big Brother, how's the situation outside?"
"Yes, the Federation's military has temporarily retreated from the base and is blocking the periphery area of the encampment entrance. They're coming aggressively this time. I'm afraid they want to eliminate all the forces in the City of Darkness."
The leaders of the major gangs in the hall felt that the situation was not good. They were lucky enough to defeat the Federation's military because of the mysterious abilities of the Mundt Gang and the black fog.
At this moment, everyone had placed all their hopes on the Mundt Gang and looked at Meng Ruhui.
"Mr. Meng, there are so many of us here, and you know the black fog the best. What do you think we should do?"
Meng Ruhui shook his head and said, "There are no other entrances to the holy land. I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to pass this stage. I've already sent out a rescue signal to the outside world. We can only continue to hold on and hope that the people outside can think of a way to help us."
Everyone fell silent again.
Waiting for the people outside to save them? Would they really come?
Furthermore, they were currently surrounded by the Federation's military. There were only a handful of people in the world who had the guts to fight the Federation head-on.
Aktu looked conflicted. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, "Big Brother, why don't we just use that? We might as well fight them to the death?"
Meng Ruhui glanced at Aktu, signaling him to shut up. How could he mention the secret of the gang in front of so many outsiders?
Ake realized that he was wrong as soon as he finished speaking. He shrunk his head and quickly shut his mouth.
However, the words had already left his mouth.
Everyone looked at Meng Ruhui.
Jite saw the exchange in their eyes and said, "Mr. Meng, we've already come to this. Do you still have anything you want to hide?"
"That's not the case."
Meng Ruhui shook his head and said, "I know the situation is urgent. However, this matter is related to the secret of the holy land of the Mundt Gang. If we don't control it well, all of us will die without a burial place."
Hearing Meng Ruhui's words, everyone suddenly felt that something was going on.
If they couldn't control it well, they would die together?
What if they managed to control it?
"Mr. Meng, we're willing to give it our all!"
"That's right, Mr. Meng…"
"The Federation is quite wary of the black fog. According to my judgment, they won't launch another attack before they find a way to deal with it. We still have some time."
Meng Ruhui looked torn as he replied, "We can still deal with the Federation for a while. Let's think about it again. Don't rush to make a decision."
Was there time for them to think?
Everyone was anxious and began to persuade him.
"Mr. Meng, it's not that I'm pessimistic, but in my opinion, there won't be any reinforcements from the outside. The Federation is making a huge commotion this time. Who else can help us?"
"Do you really have the heart to watch the Federation destroy everything that the Mundt Gang has spent so many years building?"
"Leader Meng, we can't hide. No matter what, we have to be prepared to die together. It'll be too late when they come again…"
"Alright then."
Meng Ruhui couldn't resist the persuasion of so many people. He hesitated for a while and took a deep breath before speaking, "This is no small matter. If we're not careful, everyone will die on the spot. I hope that everyone can lend me a hand."
After finally persuading Meng Ruhui, the players perked up and said, "Mr. Meng, just tell us what you need us to do!"
"I need everyone to find players who know occultism…"
Meng Ruhui gathered all the guild leaders and started discussing in a low voice.
While everyone was talking, Fang Heng's gaze focused in the direction of the cave.
Thick black fog seeped out from the depths of the cave.
More than 20 players from the Mundt Gang gathered at the entrance of the cave.
Inside the cave was the holy land of the Mundt Gang.
What was in the holy land?
A game rift?
Also, it seemed like the Mundt Gang still had some trump card that they hadn't used.
He wondered if he could deal with the Federation outside.
Fang Heng was getting more and more curious.
Very soon, the leaders of the Mundt Gang and the other gangs came to an agreement.
"Big Brother, I'll assemble some occultism players to charge the ritual magic array first and get ready for action."
Aktu nodded at Meng Ruhui. With a wave of his hand, he immediately led his team and prepared to leave.
The other gang leaders also returned to their respective resting caves to assemble all the players who knew occultism to help.
Fang Heng stood up as well as said, "Aktu, I know occultism too. I'll go with you. I want to help as much as I can."
"Alright, thank you, Brother!"
…
In the base of the Mundt Gang, some caves were dug out by the people along the connected stone wall at intervals.
The caves were not deep, about twenty meters.
In one of the caves, a special ritual was being carried out!
Fang Heng recognized it at first glance after stepping into the stone cave!
More than a dozen players dressed in the uniform of the Mundt Gang sat around the ritual, controlling it to operate.
Black fog seeped out from the center of the ritual.
The quality of this black mist was much higher than ordinary black fog.
So…
Was the change in the black fog in the base related to the ritual?
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the Mundt Gang could control this strange fog.
Fang Heng pondered and glanced at Aktu.
It was very strange.
He had tried to control the black fog before, and once it came into contact with his perception, the black fog would immediately devour his perception completely.
There was no way to control it.
After the black fog overflowed from the center of the ritual, a portion of it spread out of the cave, while more of the aura was absorbed by the surrounding stone walls.
Upon closer inspection, there were also some occultism patterns on the stone walls of the cave.
Aktu had brought more than 20 players with him this time, all of whom were from the major guilds in the City of Darkness.
They were the first batch of occultism players selected.
Everyone looked at the black fog that kept seeping out of the rotating ritual in the center, and their eyes revealed a puzzled expression.
"Everyone, the ritual requires mental strength to operate. The large magic array on the right can temporarily store a portion of mental strength, so what we need to do now is to pour mental strength into the magic array."
"Once the Federation officially invades the base, we will be able to trigger the ritual to the maximum in a very short time. We will be able to resist the Federation's attack with the black fog and create an opportunity for us."
Aktu stood in front of everyone and gave a brief explanation of the purpose of gathering everyone here.
After a pause, Aktu reminded everyone, "Everyone, be careful. The magic array has undergone a special structural transformation to adjust to the ritual. It will automatically absorb the spiritual power of the outside world. Therefore, only those who understand occultism can inject spiritual power. During the infusion process, if you find any signs of spiritual power losing control, please immediately stop the transfer of spiritual power. Don't compel yourself."

1839 A Suggestion
"Understood."
Everyone nodded and became more careful.
Fang Heng also withdrew his gaze from the ritual and followed everyone to the magic array that was spinning in front of him.
The magic arrays were connected to each other in the middle of the ritual.
It was a very good technique.
However, this magic array…
He had never seen anything like this before.
Feeling curious, Fang Heng lowered his hat and focused his eyes on the magic array.
"Whoosh!"
The magic array reflected in the pupil of his right eye spun rapidly!
[Hint: The player is attempting to appraise an unknown magic array…]
[Hint: Analyzing…]
[Hint: Through analysis, the player has obtained partial information about the magic array.]
[Magic array: Energy injection type (Unknown characteristic).]
Description: A special magic array specially made for a certain ritual. It can guide spiritual energy into the magic array to store and assist in activating the ritual (only for a certain ritual).
"A special magic array suitable for ritual energy…"
It was rarely seen in the past.
Fang Heng muttered to himself as he pondered.
As for the specific effects of the ritual, he had no idea.
He judged that it should be related to the overflowing black fog.
The players did not care about the structure of the magic array. They were divided into three groups under the arrangement of the Mundt Gang. They gathered in front of the magic circle and began to inject spiritual power into the magic array to activate it.
Fang Heng also joined the players and tried walking to the magic array.
He pressed his palm on the edge of the magic array.
"Tsk!"
As soon as he touched the magic array, a weak force connected to his body.
Fang Heng felt his mental power slowly being drawn out of his body through his palm and slowly flowing into the magic array.
It was fine at first, but as time passed, the attraction from the magic array became stronger and stronger.
It was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing his spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy in his body was being drained at a rapid rate!
Two minutes passed. Seeing that the speed of his spiritual power was a little too fast, Fang Heng quickly retracted his hand and stopped injecting his spiritual power.
He raised his head and looked around. The other players also noticed the strange magic array.
After a few attempts, the players had gained experience. They would often stop after injecting their mental strength for half a minute and rest for a while before injecting their mental strength again. They were afraid that they would lose control and be sucked dry by the magic array.
Fang Heng could persist in transferring spiritual power for a longer period of time.
At least five minutes would not be a problem.
But there was no need for that.
He realized that using this method of extracting spiritual power would affect the origin of his sea of consciousness.
It wouldn't cause permanent damage, but compared to normal spiritual power consumption, this kind of extraction would make it difficult for spiritual power to recover in a short period.
Fang Heng was even more curious about the magic array.
He stood in front of the magic array and activated the omniscient eye in his right eye.
The lines of the magic array were quickly broken down and reconstructed in his pupils.
While Fang Heng was studying the magic array, the rest of the players had almost lost all of their mental strength to the magic array. They sat down and drank potions while resting, seizing the time to recover.
Most of the players in the City of Darkness were not strong.
It was not easy to gather so many players who knew occultism.
"Everyone, work harder! The magic array is our greatest trump card! We might even be able to completely drive the Federation out!"
Aktu urged, trying his best to boost the morale of the players.
It was a pity. The effect was limited.
Players generally had low mental power. In addition, the magic array had a special characteristic of absorbing mental strength. Even if they drank potions, their recovery ability would be very limited.
It would not be good if this continued…
Fang Heng observed for a moment. He walked to Aktu's side and whispered, "Aktu, most of the people here have very low levels of spiritual power. The efficiency of injecting spiritual power is very low. It's just a drop in the bucket for the entire magic array."
"I know, but…"
Aktu's expression turned awkward as he shook his head.
He had no choice. He couldn't say anything that would hurt morale.
Aktu sighed and said, "This is all we can do now."
Fang Heng observed the magic array and touched his chin. He pondered and said, "It's true that we can only do one step by relying on mental strength. But have you ever thought that maybe we can modify the magic array?"
Modify?
This was Aktu's first time hearing such a thing. He felt that it was rather novel. He could not help but look at Fang Heng and ask, "How do we modify it?"
"Mind power is also a type of origin power. Many powers can mimic the circulation of mind power. Of course, there are different methods of simulation, and the final results are different."
Fang Heng looked at the magic array in front of him that was operating. As he pondered, he said, "I'm thinking if we can carry out some simulations and simulate the energy into mental strength and inject it into the magic array. As long as we can find the corresponding method, there's a high chance that we can trigger the magic array to operate."
"Huh?"
Aktu was stunned when he heard this.
He could understand these words if they were taken apart, but when they were put together, they became something that he could not understand.
Aktu scratched his head and asked, "Fang Heng, do you know a lot about this?"
"A little. I've done some research on alchemy, but I'll need your cooperation to do this. Yes, I need the ritualists to collaborate with me for some tests."
Aktu hesitated for a moment.
"But Fang Heng, the Federation might raid at any time. We don't have much time left."
"I know." Fang Heng retracted his gaze from the arcane formation and said, "If I'm not wrong, the ritual before us is just one of the branch rituals. Right now, more than ten caves are holding rituals at the same time. Even without us, it won't affect much. If we're lucky enough to succeed…"
Fang Heng said seriously after a pause, "We might be able to turn the tide of the battle,"
Aktu's eyes lit up when he heard Fang Heng say that he could turn the tide of the battle.
"Brother Fang Heng, can we do this?"
"Yes, there's a need to give it a try."
"Alright, I'll go talk to Big Brother. Wait for me."
Aktu had been saved by Fang Heng once and trusted him very much. Hearing Fang Heng's words, he immediately rushed back to discuss with Meng Ruhui.
…
Coincidentally, when Aktu returned to the meeting hall, the leaders of the various gangs were discussing their next step.
When they heard Aktu suggest that they temporarily stop the transference of mental energy and conduct some random tests, he was immediately opposed by the players.
The leaders of the various gangs were not satisfied with Aktu's suggestion.
"Don't waste moment thinking about this. If you have time, why don't you focus on thinking about how to deal with the Federation? Don't mess things up."
"You're still researching? The Federation is blocking the entrance. Isn't it a little inappropriate?"

1840 A Trial
"The Mundt Gang has been researching for so long but they still haven't come up with a feasible plan. I don't think they'll find anything unexpected with their eyes…"
"Who is that Fang Heng? Do you know him? I just heard him talking nonsense over there. Be careful not to be deceived."
Aktu did not say a word at first, but when he heard that someone was attacking Fang Heng, he immediately glared back. His eyes were wide with anger as he argued, "He's my friend! I believe in him!"
"Everyone, please calm down."
Meng Ruhui stepped forward to help. He looked at Aktu and nodded, "Go ahead. We need to try something."
Aktu nodded at Meng Ruhui and immediately did a headcount. He selected a dozen people to go back to Fang Heng for reinforcement.
"Meng Ruhui, why are you indulging your younger brother like this?"
"No worries."
Meng Ruhui shook his head and explained to the crowd, "Even if a single magic array fails, it won't affect the overall situation. Judging from the current situation, the people from the Holy Court will arrive soon. The next wave of attack from the Federation will be in conjunction with the Holy Court. We don't have enough hard power. We have to win with a small advantage to have a chance of survival."
Jite gave a soft humph. He felt that Meng Ruhui was covering up for him.
However, since they had already said so, everyone stopped persuading him.
On the other side, Fang Heng was still studying the magic array ritual when Aktu brought another group of players to the cave.
"Fang Heng, Big Brother has agreed to our research. Oh right, I just took some power source bodies and magic array blueprints from the warehouse. Come and see if they're useful."
"Blueprint? That's great!"
Fang Heng was studying it when he heard that there was a blueprint. He immediately raised his head.
The process of transferring the magic array to the ritual had been specially handled.
He had just studied it for a while, and his progress was limited.
Fang Heng took the blueprint and studied it carefully.
The twenty or so members of the Mundt Gang who had come with Aktu were quietly waiting at the back.
After a while, Fang Heng put down the blueprint and stared at the ritual for a moment.
Aktu asked softly, "Fang Heng, how is it? Do you have any ideas?"
"Yes, a little. Everyone, let's begin. Let's try the ritual first. I need to perform some fixed tests."
"Understood!"
…
While Fang Heng was activating the ritual and carrying out the spiritual power simulation tests, the Federation was also working out an action plan to deal with the Mundt Gang.
After the failure of the first wave of attacks, the Federation immediately withdrew from the base of the Mundt Gang and set up countermeasures around the base.
The alchemy magic array!
The Federation's military quickly formulated five plans and chose the most suitable one.
They would use the purifying magic array.
Completely purify the black fog!
Many academics had additional purification abilities.
For example, natural science and elemental science.
Another example was the sacred study.
According to the Federation's experience in dealing with the black fog, the first two academic methods had limited effects on the black fog.
There was only sacred study.
The purification effect was extremely good!
Unfortunately, sacred study was firmly bound to the Holy Court.
No players in the military were proficient in sacred study.
Hence, they could only settle for the second-best option and temporarily set up elemental science and natural science magic array in the outside world.
The two formations could purify a part of the black fog that was leaking out of the camp of the Mundt Gang and ensure the safety of the temporary camp of the Federation.
Soon, the reinforcements sent by the Holy Court arrived.
The Holy Court worked closely with the Central Federation.
The Holy Court had also participated in the previous battles against the City of Darkness.
When the military began to deal with the City of Darkness, the Holy Court had already received the news that Archbishop Robert had personally brought a team of believers as reinforcements.
Not long ago, the Holy Court arrived with their men.
Archbishop Robert, the leader of the Holy Court, observed the black fog that shrouded the holy land of the Mundt Gang. He paused for a moment, and his eyes showed a serious look.
Kleinman asked, "Archbishop, did you find anything?"
"Yes, I'm not worried about the demi-humans now, but the game rift."
Robert looked at the entrance of the Mundt Gang's encampment. His eyes were filled with worry. He continued, We have been here a few times before. The black fog was never as thick as it is now. I did not expect it to be this grave before we came."
Kleinman said, "I'm afraid these changes are related to the Mundt Gang."
The head of the Federation's Inspection Bureau asked, "Will it be related to the demi-humans? Gu Qingzhu came here as soon as she escaped from school. Could it be that she deliberately led us here?"
Kleinman thought for a moment and shook his head. He said, "It doesn't seem like it. But we still have to be prepared. We haven't found Gu Qingzhu's whereabouts. It's very likely that she's also in the camp of the Mundt Gang."
As he spoke, a soldier came forward to report, "Sir, we've just completed a thorough search of the inner area of the City of Darkness. We did not find any traces of Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu. The spiritual tracking marks on the periphery are still undetectable. Based on this, we can judge that the two of them should be staying in the area of the City of Darkness."
Kleinman said, "This way, we can confirm that Gu Qingzhu and Fang Heng are undoubtedly in the encampment of the Mundt Gang."
"These two groups are gathered together. No wonder it's so troublesome." The military commander looked at Archbishop Robert of the Holy Court and asked, "Archbishop Robert, the Holy Court has always been very good at dealing with these sinister auras. Is there any way to deal with the current situation?"
"Yes, everyone has found the best solution. I've already learned about the changes in the black fog on the way here. I've specially ordered someone to bring a special alchemy magic array tablet. With this, we can fulfill the evolution of the entire base of the Mundt Gang in one fell swoop and disperse the black fog."
"That's great. Leave the black fog to the Archbishop. We'll cooperate fully."
Everyone discussed for a moment, and soon, the fight plan was completed.
The Holy Court cooperated with the Federation's military to set up two alchemical spells based on the sacred study.
One was a fixed large-scale magic array. The other was a mobile medium-sized magic array.
The former was set up outside the base of the Mundt Gang.
The large-scale magic array could purify the black fog that overflowed from the Mundt Gang's encampment.
After the medium-sized magic array was constructed, it would be engraved on a movable alchemy tablet.
The various teams of the Federation army, with the cooperation of the Holy Court, brought the stone tablets into the passage.
With the help of the alchemy tablet's dispel power, the players will be immune to the effects of the black fog on stamina depletion in the area around the alchemy tablet.
Next, they only needed seven medium-sized alchemy tablets to be arranged and assembled according to the pre-set points of the archbishop of the Holy Court. They would then be connected to the large-scale magic array set up outside to form an external magic array that could activate all the dispelling effects to the maximum!
"When the magic array is completely installed, at least 90% of the black fog in the entire base of the Mundt Gang will be dispersed.
"Good! Act accordingly!"

1841 Crisis
Two hours later, the large-scale holy element magic array that was set up in the periphery of the holy land of the Mundt Gang was operating rapidly!
A golden pillar of Holy Light bloomed from the magic array!
Pillars of light pierced through the layers of darkness, breaking through the thick black fog on the upper layer, and rushing straight to the top of the cave.
The surrounding black mist emitted sizzling sounds as soon as it came into contact with the pillars of light.
The black fog and the dark golden light intertwined and melted.
The black fog that enveloped the surroundings visibly decreased.
The holy pillars of light quickly dimmed.
The archbishop gestured for the Holy Court team to stabilize the magic array. He nodded his head and said, "Commander, we can begin now."
Zhou Chen, the commander of the Federation's military, ordered, "Let's go!"
The Federation was divided into 14 teams, with two teams escorting the mobile alchemy magic array slabs into the Mundt Gang's base.
The players of the Holy Court also split up and joined their teams. While maintaining the operation of the medium-sized alchemy magic array slabs, they entered the depths of the Mundt Gang's encampment under the escort of the Federation army team to set up the magic array.
Compared to before, the attacking federal team had another huge advantage.
The pillars of light released by the medium-sized alchemy magic array allowed the players to determine the location of their teammates.
Of course, this also allowed the players of the Mundt Gang in the black fog to confirm the enemy's location at the first moment.
As the military rushed into the camp of the Mundt Gang, the battle between the two sides started again.
Outside the encampment, Commander Zhou Chen judged the situation of each team through the movement of the pillars of light.
The battle had started for more than ten minutes. Judging from the situation of the pillars of light, it was still optimistic.
The Federation's military was twice as powerful as the Mundt Gang and the other major forces in the City of Darkness, and they had the help of the Holy Court.
The seven pillars of light that invaded the interior advanced triumphantly, gathering at the predetermined location.
There didn't seem to have much effect.
The resistance they encountered seemed a little too weak?
Zhou Chen was muttering in his heart when his expression suddenly changed slightly.
Eh?
The situation took a turn for the worse!
A large amount of black fog could be seen seeping out from the depths of the camp.
A thick black fog quickly filled the entire interior of the Mundt Gang's encampment and continued to surge toward the outside world!
"Chi! Chi chi!!!"
The holy element purification magic array was activated rapidly and dimmed instantly. A few pillars of light that had penetrated deep into the camp of the Mundt Gang were so dim that they were difficult to see clearly.
The Holy Light gradually swayed within the black fog.
"It seems that the Mundt Gang has already made preparations."
"Increase the activation of the magic array and increase the energy source," the archbishop of the Holy Court ordered with a frown.
…
At this moment, in the command hall, Meng Ruhui was also under tremendous pressure!
The Holy Court still came.
He had long expected the Holy Court to join in the battle but…
The other party even had black technology like a mobile alchemy magic array!
"D*mn it, it's those dogs from the Holy Court!"
"It's a special alchemy magic array. This magic array has a miraculous effect on the black fog."
"These dogs are really persistant. They can be found everywhere!"
This was the first time the Mundt Gang had a direct fight with the Holy Court. However, the other gangs in the City of Darkness had witnessed the power of the Holy Court and immediately shouted.
"Mr. Meng, what should we do?"
"Aren't you going to make a move?"
"The people from the Federation seem to be plotting something…"
"Mr. Meng, they're almost here. Aren't you going out yet? If we wait any longer, they'll be here soon. Say something!"
"Wait a little longer!"
Meng Ruhui only said one sentence and then said nothing. He no longer responded to everyone's urging and only observed the golden pillars of light rising from the encampment.
As the Federation's pillars of light approached the interior of the encampment, the players became more and more nervous. The entire conference hall fell silent.
After waiting for nearly seven minutes, when the Federation's invasion teams had approached the depths of the encampment, Meng Ruhui finally retracted his gaze from afar and turned to look at everyone.
"Gang leaders, the Federation is cooperating with the Holy Court to set up a super-large-scale purification magic array. Once they are successful, half of the black fog enveloping the City of Darkness will be dispersed, and we will completely lose the capital to deal with the Federation."
As Meng Ruhui spoke, he waved his hand to signal for the members of the Mundt Gang to attack, "Attack!"
All the players of Mundt Gang took action and pushed the ritual magic array to its limit!
Instantly, energy gathered and the ritual began.
A thick black fog overflowed from the cave!
Just as Meng Ruhui had planned, the Federation would release the black fog after they had entered the base of the Mundt Gang.
Almost instantly, the people from the Federation outside were drowned in a thick black fog.
Even the pillars of light rising from the magic array were greatly affected.
The players were shocked when they saw this.
They knew that their chance had come!
"Now's the time, stop them now!"
Meng Ruhui said sternly, "Gang leaders, this is our last chance! We have to stop them at all costs and destroy the magic array slate in their hands!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Meng! The dogs of the Federation are destined to never return!"
"Let's go! Brothers! Attack together! Teach the Holy Court a lesson!"
Now that they were in a life-and-death crisis, the bosses of the City of Darkness temporarily put down their prejudices and united against the Federation. They led their subordinates and rushed towards the faint pillars of light.
The two sides fought head-on again.
As soon as they came into contact, the City of Darkness' side fell into an absolute disadvantage again.
Compared to the Federation's military, the strength of the City of Darkness side was way behind them.
Meng Ruhui stood in the hall and looked at the holy pillars of light outside. He shook his head inwardly.
Meanwhile, in a certain cave, Fang Heng was still modifying the magic array.
At the edge of the cave, Aktu was watching the fierce battle between the players of the Mundt outlaw and the Federation. He was more anxious than anyone else.
"Fang Heng, I…"
Aktu could not help but urge him again.
An hour ago, Fang Heng's preliminary research simulation test had been completed.
Next, he began setting up the magic array.
At this stage, he couldn't provide any help. He could only wait by the side.
He waited for Fang Heng to finish his modification.
In fact, Fang Heng had also noticed the intense battle outside. Although the black fog had obscured his senses, the sounds of battle could be heard intermittently in the cave.
Under the influence of the central ritual, the ritual in the cave was also activated.
A large amount of black fog overflowed from the sorcery array that was activated by the ritual and spread out of the cave.
At the same time, the spiritual energy that he had just stored was being quickly consumed.
At this speed, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
"Soon."
Fang Heng replied in a low voice as he concentrated on setting up the sorcery array, "Wait a little longer, it'll take some time. I'll be quick."
Aktu couldn't wait any longer. He clenched his fists and said, "Fang Heng, you stay here and establish slowly. I'll hold them off for a while!"
Fang Heng did his best to modify the sorcery array. He didn't even turn his head to look at Aktu but instead shouted to him, "Be careful!"
Aktu waved his hand and led a team of his men to chase after the nearest line of defense that had been lit up by the sacred pillars of light!

1842 Counterattack
Very soon, Aktu caught up to the spot where the pillars of light had lit up.
In front of them, the first batch of players from the City of Darkness who had tried to deal with the Federation had been mostly wiped out.
"You again!"
Aktu's face darkened when he saw the leader of the Federation's military team.
It was Rhett.
He had suffered a loss at Rhett's hands before. He didn't expect to meet him again this time.
Aktu naturally wanted to get back at them, but he also knew that the gap between the two sides was huge.
This kind of gap was not something that could be made up for with just hot-bloodedness.
Rhett also noticed Aktu and smiled, "Hehe, it's you. I didn't expect to meet you again so soon. You were lucky last time. I hope you'll be as lucky this time."
"Go!"
Seeing that Rhett and his men had already set up the alchemy stone slab, Aktu immediately signaled for the players behind him to charge forward.
Aktu did not personally rush forward to join the battle this time. Instead, he formed an imprint with both hands in front of him.
The black fog that enveloped the surroundings quickly gathered in front of him, condensing into a pure black arrow.
"Whoosh!"
The black arrow that was more than a meter long condensed and pierced towards Rhett and the federal team players.
"Boom!!!"
The black arrow was affected by the holy power and exploded in the air!
The dense black fog and various negative effects once again enveloped the Federation players!
Aktu's expression changed when his attack succeeded.
Swoosh!!
He saw Rhett's figure suddenly appear in front of him from the black fog.
Not good!
Aktu cried out in his heart and quickly changed the imprint in front of him.
The surrounding black fog condensed into a black round shield in front of him.
"Boom!!"
The round shield had just condensed when it emitted a dull thud! It exploded with a punch from Rhett!
Aktu spat out another mouthful of blood. He was sent flying by the remaining force of Rhett's punch and disappeared into the thick black fog.
Rhett was also entangled by the black fog that enveloped him, and he couldn't chase after them.
"Tsk…"
Rhett realized that he had lost his perception of Aktu and let out a disdainful snort.
If it was a one-on-one fight, with his strength, it would be a piece of cake for him to get rid of Aktu!
However, in such a strange environment, the enemy could borrow the power of this strange black fog to attack him.
Rhett looked behind him. Although the people of the Mundt Gang were still trying to attack the team from all angles, the sacred alchemy stone slab was still intact under the protection of the team, and it was still constantly eliminating the Holy Light that enveloped the surroundings.
Everything was going according to plan.
"Bang!"
Not far away, Aktu's back was slammed into a large stone pillar behind him.
He gritted his teeth and stood up again.
If he had recovered from his previous injuries, he wouldn't have lost so badly now that he couldn't even take a blow from Rhett.
In front of them, the players who were attacking the federal team fell one by one.
Seeing that the people from the Holy Court had already placed the stone slab in the predetermined position, Aktu's heart sank to the bottom…
A total of seven magic array stone slabs were needed to complete the magic array.
Seven pillars of light shot into the sky.
He could see the general location of the seven pillars of light.
Five of them had already arrived at the magic array and were awaiting orders.
This meant that most of the player teams that went to stop the Federation's military had failed.
There were only two left.
Once the stone slabs were all set up…At that time…
Huh?!
Of course!
Suddenly, Aktu noticed something. He was instantly shocked and turned his head to look behind him.
That was…
Not far away, Terry, who was guarding the stone slab, also noticed something.
He frowned and raised his head to look at a nearby rock wall.
In the encampment, a thick black fog that was even more dense than before continuously seeped out from the cracks in the stone walls!
This black fog was very unusual!
After the dense aura seeped out, it fused into the black fog outside and immediately spread out.
Coincidentally, Rhett's team was close to the black fog and were the first to be influenced by the black fog!
"Chi, chi…"
The holy stone slab's magic array released a pillar of light that continuously emitted a sizzling sound.
The pillar of light quickly dimmed under the corrosion of the black fog.
What was going on?
Terry judged that the situation was not good and turned to look at the auxiliary priest of the Holy Court in the team.
"The power of the black fog is getting stronger. It seems that the Mundt Gang has used some method to speed up the circulation of the black fog and release a thicker black fog."
"I was not expecting them to be able to do this, but this might be their last fight."
The priest's face also showed a solemn expression. He said in a deep voice, "Colonel Terry, please don't worry. The holy pillar of light will still be effective. As long as the seven light pillars can be successfully returned to their original positions, the black fog will still be completely purified."
"I understand. Leave it to us."
Terry focused his eyes and looked at the thick black fog in front of him. He shouted to his soldiers, "Raise your vigilance! You must protect the holy stone slabs!"
"Understood!"
Amidst the black fog, Aktu was still in a daze as he looked at the black fog that was constantly seeping out from the high ground.
What a surprise!
Such a strong black fog aura!
Fang Heng!
It must be him!
He really did it!
The players of the Mundt Gang all had a special skill. After a period of cultivation, with the help of some special medicine, not only could they be immune to the influence of the black fog, but they could also use the power of the black fog to fight.
This gave them a great advantage in fighting in the black fog!
As the density of the black fog increased, their combat ability in the black fog also increased rapidly!
The opportunity had come!
Aktu's spirits were roused. He gulped down a vial of expensive recovery potion and formed an imprint with his hands in front of him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!"
Thick black fog congregated in front of him, forming a pure black arrow.
Compared to before, the arrow was several times larger.
"Whoosh!"
The black arrow darted at the direction of the holy pillar of light!
"Boom!!!"
The arrow exploded!
Under the influence of the black arrow, the entire pillar of light instantly let out a roar and dimmed down. Its dispelling ability was reduced by several times!
Rhett's expression changed.
The black fog instantly surrounded their entire team!
The dispelling effect of the alchemy magic array's pillar of light was insufficient.
All sorts of negative effects came one after another.
Similar scenes were still happening in various places in the maze of the Mundt Gang's base.
Originally, the alliance of the Mundt Gang and the City of Darkness was completely suppressed by the Federation's military, and they were on the verge of despair.
Unexpectedly, the black fog in the cave suddenly became dense again.
Under the influence of the black fog, the Mundt Gang's counterattacked aggressively, as if they had been triggered!

1843 Dealing with
Yin Mo, the second-in-command of the Mundt Gang, had been fighting against the Federation to stop them from setting up the magic array. Both parties were entangled in a battle, but he was suddenly stimulated by the black fog and his strength increased greatly!
The strength to control the black fog instantly increased by nearly 30%!
The situation instantly reversed!
He could stop them!
Yin Mo quickly assessed the current combat strength of both sides, and an elite light instantly appeared in his eyes.
"Whoosh!!"
Yin Mo sped up and rushed to face the captain of the Federation's military team.
He struck out with a punch!
Before the fist arrived, the black fog attack triggered by the fist attacked forward first!
"Bang!"
The captain of the Federation army defended the attack with both hands in front of him.
The black fog exploded!
Instantly, the captain felt a sense of weakness in his body.
Oh no!
The influence of the black fog was too great!
He was able to fight Yin Mo with a 60 – 40 ratio just now, but now he was at a disadvantage!
In the conference hall of the Mundt Gang's encampment, Meng Ruhui saw the black fog erupting in the distance. His eyes were fixed on it, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.
That position was…
How could there be such a strong spiritual energy fluctuation?
Suddenly, Meng Ruhui thought of Aktu who had suggested to him to improve the magic array!
It was Fang Heng!
They had succeeded!
Meng Ruhui didn't have much hope at first. He just wanted to try his luck and make a big deal out of it.
He didn't expect it to succeed!
They were already in a desperate situation and could face death at any moment.
However, Fang Heng's successful modification of the magic array allowed them to successfully extend their lives!
"I'll go find Fang Heng. The rest of you stay here and guard the holy land."
"Understood!"
Meng Ruhui could no longer care about protecting the holy land. He immediately went to look for Fang Heng after saying that.
He urgently needed to know how Fang Heng did it!
If they could borrow the power of the magic array to simulate spiritual energy to activate the magic array and significantly increase the efficiency of the ritual, they might even be able to break through the Federation's blockade this time!
Even…
He had completely removed the seal in the holy land!
Outside the encampment, seeing the beams of Holy Light that invaded the interior of the Mundt Gang's base dimming and gradually coming to a halt, the members of the Federation team fell silent.
They had thought that victory was in their hands, but they did not expect a thick black fog to seep out at the last moment.
Judging from the feedback from the holy light pillar, the situation was very bad.
Seeing this, the archbishop of the Holy Court, Robert, had a solemn look on his face.
Commander Zhou Chen stared at the interior of the encampment and asked in a deep voice, "Archbishop Robert, if we choose to attack now, what are our chances of winning?"
Robert frowned.
He thought carefully and replied, "The chances of winning are not low, but I don't recommend attacking by force."
"Why?"
Archbishop Robert raised his head again. He looked at the thick black fog that could not be dispersed. He uttered in a deep voice, "I'm not worried about the Mundt Gang. I'm worried about the game rift."
"The source of the black fog comes from the game rift. The density of the black fog has far exceeded the warning line. In the worst-case scenario, if the enemy controls the opening of the game rift…"
The archbishop did not continue, but the meaning was already very clear.
It was very likely that the Mundt Gang had already found a way to control the game rift. What if they forced the other faction into a corner and destroyed the game rift completely?
At that time, the problem would not be so easy.
Kleinman and the leader of the Federation's Inspection Bureau looked at each other.
Now, they realized it.
The gravity of the matter increased once again.
Originally, the mission objective was to capture the extremely dangerous demi-humans.
Now, it had become a possible mutation of the game rift.
He needed to be extra cautious when dealing with this matter.
No one wanted to be the last one to take the blame.
"It involves the mutation of the game rift. We have to be prepared for the worst."
"Archbishop, do you have any solution…"
"Yes." The archbishop pondered for a moment and said, "I suggest a temporary retreat."
While everyone was discussing, one of the pillars of light that kept flickering in the cave finally lost its luster.
This meant that one of the pillars had been destroyed by the Mundt Gang.
Everyone's heart sank.
Zhou Chen shook his head when he saw this and said, "Forget it, let's retreat first."
He had already lost a movable alchemy stone slab, and the entire large-scale magic array couldn't be completed. There was no point in continuing.
"I've already contacted the headquarters of the Holy Court. They're also very concerned about the black fog that erupted here. Oracle Autolia is already on her way here."
"You mean Lord Autolia?"
When everyone heard this, their eyes could not help but flash with surprise.
In the real world, the Holy Court had three other powerful figures besides the Holy Court's Pope.
Oracle Autolia, the controller of the holy weapon, the Silent Libra.
She had once destroyed a high-level world's game rift single-handedly.
From then on, he became famous.
Many people had heard of her name.
He did not expect her to be on her way.
With Autolia's personal arrival, the problem of the black fog should be properly suppressed.
"Yes, this matter is very important. Only by using the holy weapon to suppress it can we ensure that the game rift is safe."
"With the help of the oracle, we will be able to take down the base of the Mundt Gang."
The archbishop continued, "To prevent the aura from spreading further, we will continue to set up a magic array around the perimeter to prevent the Mundt Gang from escaping."
The military commander, Zhou Chen, thought about it and nodded, "Alright, we'll give them one more day."
The archbishop gestured for the believers to control the magic array outside the camp of the Mundt Gang to emit intermittent light, sending a signal to the infiltration teams to retreat.
Zhou Chen could choose to continue attacking.
There was indeed a chance to annihilate the Mundt Gang.
The military didn't want to see such casualties.
If there was a safer way, Zhou Chen was not willing to risk his subordinates' lives.
Soon, the teams retreated from the encampment.
Many soldiers were slightly injured and were taken for treatment.
The leader of a conflict team, Ravi, retreated to the outside world with the guardian alchemy stone slab and followed Zhou Chen. He said, "Sir, there's something I need to report."
As he spoke, Ravi whispered a few words into Zhou Chen's ear.
Zhou Chen's eyes lit up when he heard Ravi's report. He asked softly, "This is a serious matter. Are you sure it's reliable?"
"I'm sure. Please give me a chance, sir! We must take them down!"
"Good, very good."
Zhou Chen nodded. He admired Zhou Chen's drive to climb up and was willing to give him a chance. He nodded and said," You will be in charge of this operation. Act according to the circumstances and ensure that the plan succeeds."
"Thank you for your nurturing, sir!"
Ravi was excited. He cupped his fists and thanked him before immediately going down to organize the operation.
Kleinman noticed Zhou Chen's whispers and asked, "Officer Zhou, from the looks of it, do you have any new plans?"
Zhou Chen looked as if he had everything under control. He kept them in suspense and said, "A hard fortress is often broken through from the inside."
If everything went smoothly, they might not have to wait for the reinforcements from the Holy Court. They could solve the problem of the black fog one step ahead of time.

1844 Planning
Inside the base of the Mundt Gang, Aktu realized that Rhett's team wanted to retreat.
He had been suppressed for so long. Now that he had finally found a chance to counterattack, he naturally would not let it go easily. He immediately led his men and chased after them!
It was a pity.
Even though they were retreating in a panic, the Federation's military cooperated in an orderly manner. Aktu had chased them for a long distance. Other than exhausting both sides, he did not cause any actual damage to the military.
Seeing that the enemies were gradually retreating from the base, Aktu could only return to the cave with his subordinates.
"Brother Fang Heng! You're amazing! You saved our lives again!"
When they returned to the cave, Aktu stepped forward and gave Fang Heng a big hug!
"Big Brother, I told you. I didn't misjudge you. Brother Fang Heng is reliable!"
Meng Ruhui had arrived a little earlier than Aktu and was already studying the magic array with Fang Heng. When he heard Fang Heng's words, he raised his head and looked at Fang Heng again. He cupped his fists solemnly and thanked him again, "Indeed, it was all thanks to Mr. Fang Heng's assistance that we were able to defeat the Federation. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
At this moment, besides Meng Ruhui, many other leaders of the forces of the City of Darkness had also gathered to investigate the situation.
Once again, they stopped the Federation's attack, and the players' morale increased greatly.
When they found out that it was Fang Heng's modified magic array that had worked, they started to praise him in various ways.
"I knew you guys could do it!"
"Those bastards from the Federation, you guys didn't see it just now. They were peeing their pants when they were running away."
"If I had to say, it's still Brother Fang Heng's effort. Brother Fang Heng, after this matter is over, let's go and have a drink. We won't go home until we're drunk…"
It was completely different from their previous attitudes. Everyone was praising Fang Heng and flooding him with flattery.
It was as if the people who had questioned and objected earlier were not them at all.
Among the crowd, Jite didn't say a word. He just looked at Fang Heng from afar, his gaze somewhat unusual.
Just now, he had failed in the battle with the Federation team.
His life was in someone else's hands.
In order to survive, he could only beg for mercy.
He had thought that his life was doomed, but he didn't expect that he would suddenly have a chance.
Under the thick black fog, the Mundt Gang launched a counterattack.
The Federation soon received a signal from the outside world to retreat.
Originally, he thought that he would be taken out by the Federation.
He didn't expect the captain of the federal team, Ravi, to give him a chance.
He wanted him to be the mole and help the Federation break through the black fog.
Even now, Jite was still hesitant.
From the looks of it, the Mundt Gang seemed to have a way to deal with the Federation?
If he could survive, he naturally wouldn't be a traitor.
Meng Ruhui asked seriously after checking the magic array, "Brother Fang Heng, can we continue to promote the magic array's operation method? Can we continue to increase the efficiency?"
Everyone quieted down and looked at Fang Heng, waiting for his answer.
"Yes, but I don't think the magic array will be able to improve its effects much after this."
Fang Heng explained, "It's mainly a problem of energy. Activating the magic array requires energy to simulate spiritual power. We've asked the people in the gang before, and they don't have much energy stored in the Mundt Gang."
Meng Ruhui thought about it and felt that it was a pity.
The encampment lacked energy.
Even if Fang Heng could set up a magic array in the holy land, he would not be able to completely open the game rift.
Meng Ruhui exhaled in his heart and did not hide anything. He nodded and admitted, "Indeed, under normal circumstances, the ritual consumes very little energy. We don't have much energy reserves in our base, so the energy we can provide now is very little."
Hearing this, everyone's expression darkened. After all this time, they were just struggling on their deathbeds. When all the energy was used up, they would be finished.
The people of the Federation only needed to stand guard outside. In a few days, they would run out of ammunition and food.
When Jite heard this, his expression changed.
Meng Ruhui's words dispelled his last hesitation.
D*mn it!
This was Meng Ruhui's final trump card!
They couldn't resist the continuous attacks of the Federation if they followed this group of people!
It was only wise to seek protection from the Federation as soon as possible.
Help the Federation!
Jite took a deep breath and made a decision. He would not spend the rest of his life in prison!
Meng Ruhui saw that the morale was somewhat low and said, "Everyone, please don't give up. I've already asked for help from the outside world. Someone will come to save us. I can assure you that he's extremely powerful. Even the Federation's military is afraid of him. In addition, we're also thinking of a way to escape internally. The plan is already in place. The more time we delay, the more hope we have of separating."
Everyone listened to him. They did not know if Meng Ruhui was telling the truth or not. In short, they had already reached the point of despair, so they really came to listen.
Jite sneered in his heart.
He said that there would be external reinforcement.
Did they really have helpers who dared to fight the Federation head-on? Just to save them?
Jite didn't think that anyone here had such a big face.
As for the other escape methods mentioned by Meng Ruhui, he had already mentioned them many times.
However, whenever someone inquired him what it was, Meng Ruhui would always say that it was a secret of the holy land.
Meng Ruhui did not know what Jite was thinking. He called his subordinates to immediately take stock of the inventory and gather all the available energy sources in the base to provide energy for the magic array.
For the time being, he estimated how long he could hold on and see how long he could last.
One of the players asked, "If that's the case, the people from the Federation outside have temporarily halted attacking. Should we also temporarily stop the energy supply? Save as many as you can?"
"No."
Meng Ruhui vibrated his head and refused the suggestion, "Stopping the operation of the magic array will cause the black fog to weaken significantly. The Federation is not sure about our internal situation. Stopping the operation now is undoubtedly a signal to them that we are running out of energy and will only give up the initiative."
"Moreover, the two large-scale purification magic arrays outside the base are currently in operation. Without the support of energy, we won't last more than two hours."
Everyone pondered about it and felt that what Meng Ruhui uttered made sense.
"Unfortunately, my gang still has a lot of energy hidden in it. If only I could use it…"
"What's the point of saying this now? The energy you hid has long been confiscated by the Federation."
"Our gang has quite a few too. When we ran away just now, we were in a hurry. At most, we brought some valuable things. We didn't think of bringing energy."
"D*mn, it would be great if we could break out of this encirclement. The Federation has set up a Holy magic array outside. It will definitely require a large amount of energy."
As everyone was discussing, Aktu's eyes lit up. He asked, "That's right, Big Brother. The Federation has energy sources outside. Now that the Federation is uncertain about our situation, it's a good opportunity. Why don't we just go and use the black fog to snatch a wave from the Federation?"

1845 Misleading
Meng Ruhui pondered for a while, but his expression remained unchanged. He waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so anxious. The Federation's military is far from being in chaos. We still need to think about it carefully. The energy body can still last us for a while. Let's wait and see what the Federation is up to. It won't be too late for us to take countermeasures."
Meng Ruhui looked at Fang Heng and cupped his fists. He said, "Brother Fang Heng, can you hold on? We need to activate the energy supply in a short time to deal with the sudden attack of the Federation."
"Of course, no problem," said Fang Heng as he stood up. He continued, "I need another ritual team to help with the fine-tuning, as well as some materials for the setup,"
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Fang Heng. I'll get someone to prepare the materials now."
Fang Heng nodded and said, "Oh right, there's something I need to trouble you with. A friend of mine is seriously injured. She should still be in the casualty cave."
"I understand. I'll get someone to bring her over and do my best to treat her."
"Thank you. Also, you need to draw the magic array in a quiet area."
Aktu stepped forward and said, "Brother Fang Heng, I'll bring you there."
Fang Heng nodded and followed Aktu to another cave to set up a magic array.
After the simple discussion, the guild players left one after another.
Meng Ruhui watched the crowd leave in silence.
Yin Mo walked behind Meng Ruhui and asked, "Big Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"Nothing, I just feel that I missed something."
…
Fang Heng took the time to check on Fana and Gu Qingzhu, who were sent to the rest area of the Mundt Gang's base.
Fana was still resting with her eyes closed, drawing out a portion of her perception to look over Gu Qingzhu.
When she saw Fang Heng coming over, she shook her head at him.
Gu Qingzhu had been unconscious the entire time and showed no signs of waking up.
Fang Heng paused for a moment before returning to the cave and setting up the second magic array.
With the experience gained from the first trial, he was almost twice as fast when setting up the second magic array.
After the magic array was completed, Fang Heng sat on the edge of the stone wall to rest.
The next step would be to wait for the Mundt Gang to send over the energy to run the magic array and test the stability of the magic array.
According to his experience, it shouldn't be a problem.
Counting the time, it was already dawn outside, right?
Fang Heng closed his eyes and tried to sense the game entrance in his body.
No way.
It still could not be opened.
The blue lines surrounding the entrance of the game showed no signs of weakening.
What a pity!
Fang Heng sighed in his heart.
If he could still enter and exit the game, he could just use the space warp backpack to move the energy crystals out.
But he couldn't do it!
Under such circumstances, he couldn't fall asleep, and he couldn't enter the game either. However, he was still a little impatient.
With that in mind, Fang Heng simply sat on the spot and entered the second stage of the 'lock' cultivation mode.
There was a benefit to the second stage of 'lock', which was that he was sufficiently focused and immersed.
Immersed in cultivation, the disturbances of the outside world could naturally be blocked, allowing him to calm down.
After this period of cultivation, a trace of his spiritual power had already appeared in the channel that was constantly flowing through his body.
Every time he successfully circulated his spiritual energy, the trajectory would slightly deepen.
He did not know when it would end.
According to the instructor, it was a huge project to completely solidify the spiritual power channel and form a spiritual power network. It would take a long time to cultivate hard.
It could be a year. It could also be ten years.
Fang Heng felt that he was already very familiar with it. He could now use his spiritual power to quickly flow through his body.
Take it slow.
He didn't know how long he had been cultivating for, but when Fang Heng felt his mind completely calm down, he opened his eyes.
"Phew, Brother Fang Heng, you're finally awake. I thought you were possessed."
Aktu heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Fang Heng had woken up.
When he came to find Fang Heng earlier, he was shocked when he saw Fang Heng cultivating in the cave.
He felt as if he had seen a ghost.
How could he persist in cultivating in such an environment?
This kind of self-discipline was a little exaggerated.
Originally, Aktu had planned to wait for Fang Heng to finish his cultivation before speaking to him. Thus, he sat at the side and waited.
Unexpectedly, he waited for more than four hours!
He even suspected that Fang Heng had met with an accident during his cultivation.
It was only because he gazed normal on the outside that he did not forcefully interrupt.
Fang Heng explained while waving his hand, "I'm fine. There's still a long time before I break through. It can help me stay focused during cultivation and calm down very quickly,"
Aktu stared blankly at Fang Heng, blinking his eyes. He didn't understand what Fang Heng was saying
"Brother Fang Heng, were you cultivating to break through the 'lock' just now?" asked Aktu after a moment of hesitation.
"Yes, indeed."
Fang Heng's body felt stiff after four hours of maintaining the same movement. He stood up and stretched his stiff body. He looked at Aktu and asked, "Have you broken through Tier 2 of 'lock'?"
"Yes, ever since I entered the game, I've been following Big Brother to break through the 'lock'. Three years ago, I've previously broken through Tier 3 of 'lock'."
Aktu gazed at Fang Heng and hesitated for a moment, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Aktu, what's wrong? Is there a problem outside again?"
"Ah, that's not it. It's just…"
Aktu thought for a while and said seriously, "Brother Fang Heng, to be honest, cultivation is a little personal. But, your cultivation method seems a little special?"
"Special? What do you mean?" Fang Heng was confused by Aktu's question.
"I didn't see wrongly. You should have been cultivating to break through Tier 2 of 'lock', right?"
"Yes."
"That's strange. Brother Fang Heng, why have you been going around in circles at the first stage and not going through the second stage of cultivation? Is there any special method to break through the 'lock'?"
"Hmm?"
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat when he heard Aktu's question.
He vaguely realized that something was wrong.
Fang Heng explained with a frown, "The instructor told me that I haven't completed the first stage of cultivation yet. I can't carry out the second step of cultivation for the time being,"
"Ah?"
Aktu gazed at Fang Heng with an even stranger gaze and said carefully, "Fang Heng, this…"
"Aktu, you and I are friends. If you have any questions, just say it. There's nothing to be afraid of."
Aktu relaxed a lot and said, "I want to ask your master where he got the method to break through Tier 2 of 'lock'."
"From the Federation."
"The Federation?!"
Aktu was even more puzzled after hearing it.

1846 Imparting
All along, the Federation's method had always been considered orthodox in breaking through the 'lock
The Federation had always been strictly controlling the breakthrough of the 'lock as well as leveling up and repeating the process. Every year, they were refining the method of training and breaking through.
At present, almost all the breakthrough methods circulating in the outside world were obtained from the Federation. Later, due to special circumstances, they had undergone various strange supplements and improvements.
But they were all the same.
Without a doubt, the method provided by the Federation was considered the most professional and the one that consumed the shortest amount of time.
Aktu lost his confidence when he heard this answer. He muttered softly, "That's strange…"
"What's wrong?"
Aktu said straightforwardly, "Fang Heng, the cultivation method you got from the Federation seems to be a little wrong."
"Huh?!"
Fang Heng was shocked.
Would the cultivation method given by the Federation be fake?
However, he reacted almost instantly.
That's right!
It was very likely that the entire cultivation method was fake!
Fang Heng finally realized the problem.
There was a problem with his cultivation method!
The Federation had always been suspicious of him, so why would they give him the method to unlock Tier 2 of 'lock' so easily?
It was only during this time in the Federation training base that the breakthrough of Tier 2 of 'lock' was very smooth, so he did not think in this direction.
He was completely fooled by the Federation's coaches!
"It seems like I've been deceived by the people of the Federation. The method of breaking through the 'lock' that I obtained isn't normal."
Fang Heng finally understood, but he was not in a hurry to conclude. Instead, he looked at Aktu and asked, "Aktu, you know how to unlock Tier 2 of 'lock', can you tell me the method to unlock it?"
"Of course, no problem."
Aktu heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Fang Heng's words. He thumped his chest happily.
"I was worried that it was a special unlocking method of your organization's internal inheritance. By the way, I need to know your early cultivation progress and method first."
"Alright, I was cultivating with the help of the Federation some time ago with the help of the Star Wheel…"
Under Aktu's guidance, Fang Heng sat down cross-legged again and began to recount the entire process of cultivation.
"Brother Fang Heng, the method for Tier 2 'lock' is mostly the same. It's mainly divided into two steps. The first step is like what the Federation taught you. You need to control your spiritual power to complete an internal circulation in your body. You do need to rely on the meridians created by the flow of spiritual power."
Aktu continued to explain, "However, the spiritual energy flowing through the meridians formed in the body can only be used as an aid for cultivation."
"Solidified mentality meridians can help your mental strength flow better in the early stages, but it will also affect the release of your mental strength later. It's more like a 'shackle'."
"As cultivation becomes longer, the 'shackles' on your body will become thicker and thicker."
Fang Heng frowned and asked, "Shackles? Why do you say that?"
The effect of the meridians flowing in his body was extremely good. He could not figure out what it had to do with shackles.
"This is related to the second step of cultivating the 'lock'. The ultimate goal of breaking through the 'lock' is to circulate the spiritual energy in the body and then release it out through the body! The meridians are equivalent to restricting the flow of spiritual energy, preventing you from achieving the final effect."
After listening to Aktu's explanation, Fang Heng realized that the Federation was a huge fraud.
It was simply a trap for him!
Fortunately, he met Aktu.
Otherwise, if he continued to train according to the method given by the Federation for a few months, the shackles would become thicker and thicker. It would even be difficult for him to break through!
"Aktu, what should I do now?"
"It's not a big problem." Aktu did not know that Fang Heng had only cultivated the second stage of the lock for less than half a year. He said, "Fortunately, you haven't cultivated for a long time. You still have time. If you had accumulated it for ten or twenty years, it would have been troublesome. Now, I need you to use your spiritual power to completely break through the shackles that were previously solidified! Completely shatter this barrier!"
"Good!"
Fang Heng closed his eyes once again and followed Aktu's guidance, activating his spiritual power!
Whoosh!
Fang Heng's spirit attribute was much higher than that of ordinary players. With a sudden burst of his spirit, the spirit network that he had spent half a month building up was shattered under the impact!
It was difficult to construct. However, it was extremely easy to destroy.
Fang Heng tried to feel it again.
After destroying the channels in his body, his spiritual power flowed more smoothly, and its activity increased greatly. However, it also became more disorderly and somewhat difficult to control.
Fang Heng opened his eyes again and looked at Aktu.
"Is that alright?"
So fast?
Aktu was a little surprised when he saw Fang Heng easily break through the shackles in his body.
Shackles were initially constructed to assist in the training of spiritual energy flow.
The second step, breaking through the shackles, was not easy.
Ordinary people might need to continuously attack before the shackles would gradually loosen until they were completely broken.
Generally speaking, the stronger one's spiritual power was, the stronger the power to break through the constraints would be.
Therefore, Fang Heng's spiritual power must be extremely strong!
Aktu thought to himself and nodded, "Yes… Next, you need to carry out the second step of the official cultivation. The spiritual power flowing in the body is only the initial control. The second step requires the spiritual power to be released after flowing in the body."
"External release…"
Fang Heng muttered to himself. Following Aktu's guidance, he tried to control his spiritual strength and release it outwards.
Aktu tried his best to explain, "Yes, spiritual strength is released through various parts of the body. It's a little like releasing your perception."
"Yes."
Fang Heng tried again.
The difficulty of this step had increased by a lot.
Losing the stability of the meridians in his body, the movement of spiritual energy in his body became somewhat difficult and needed some adjustments.
Fang Heng tried several times in a row, but he still could not complete the movement of his spiritual power.
"Fang Heng, it's okay. Normally, you can't succeed at the beginning. Just take it slow."
Aktu felt that Fang Heng was already very impressive. He was able to attain such a level on his first cultivation.
His talent was extraordinary.
"Alright."
Fang Heng felt that he had already found the feeling. He was still one breath away from the final step. He would be able to find a breakthrough after trying a few more times.
"Okay, I understand. I'll try again."
"Alright, there's no rush. Brother Fang Heng, you're very talented. You'll be able to complete this step very quickly. Oh right, when you're about to release your spiritual power, your body will instinctively reject it."
Aktu continued to guide him, "You need to break through this layer of rejection. This may take a long time. But as long as you break through the first time, your body will adapt to this state. After that, it will be much easier…"
Aktu was teaching Fang Heng the various tricks to break through Tier 2 of 'lock'. Suddenly, he frowned and turned around to look outside the cave.

1847 Betrayal
Fang Heng also realized something and looked out of the cave.
There was another commotion outside.
The dark golden pillar of light released by the magic array once again entered the interior of the Mundt Gang's base.
It seemed that the Federation had invaded the interior of the Mundt Gang's base again.
Aktu's heart tightened and he said, "Looks like the Federation is making a move again. Brother Fang Heng, I'll go back and take a look first."
Fang Heng felt that he had found some clues to break through Tier 2 of the "lock". He thought that following him would not be of much help, so he said, "Okay, go ahead and do your work. Be careful."
"Yes, I'll come back after I defeat the Federation!"
…
In the base conference hall of the Mundt Gang's encampment, Meng Ruhui sized up the holy pillar of light that lit up in the encampment outside the cave and was secretly suspicious.
That was strange.
The Federation's attack this time was very abnormal.
There were only seven light pillars on the movable alchemy slab brought by the Holy Court. Two were destroyed in the previous battle. There were only five left.
Clearly, the remaining five magic arrays were not enough to complete the large-scale purification magic array.
Could it be that they wanted to fight with all their might?
Meng Ruhui didn't think so either.
The intruders were all small-scale elite teams.
Meng Ruhui realized that there must be a problem with the Federation's attack this time, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Yin Mo quietly observed the movements of the holy pillar of light outside. He said, "Big Brother, the Federation's attack this time doesn't seem to be as strong as the last time. I'll personally bring people over to deal with them!"
"No, don't be anxious. Let's wait for a while. The Federation's attack this time is a little strange. Let's observe it a little more."
Yin Mo had always listened to Meng Ruhui, so he stayed behind with peace of mind.
Meng Ruhui continued to observe.
The current situation was unclear. He would fight passively first and then observe the situation.
At this moment, somewhere near the mouth of the Mundt Gang's encampment, taking advantage of the chaos in the base, Jite quietly brought his subordinates to the meeting point with the Federation.
A small team of more than ten people from the Federation had already arrived in advance.
The Federation team that invaded the base of the Mundt Gang with the magic array's pillar of light was all a cover!
The Federation's real killer move was the elite team led by Ravi and Rhett.
To avoid detection, the number of people participating in the secret operation was not large.
Soon, Jite and Rhett's team met up.
Jite said, "I've found the person you wanted me to find, Gu Qingzhu. She's injured and unconscious. She's staying in the headquarters of the Mundt Gang for treatment."
Rhett and Ravi looked at each other.
This information was extremely important to the two of them.
"What else?"
"There's also Fang Heng. Just now, that kid Fang Heng modified the magic array. He has something to do with the large-scale black fog that appeared in front of us."
Rhett narrowed his eyes.
It seemed that their judgment was right.
The demi-humans and the people of the Mundt Gang were entangled together.
The special changes of the black fog were also closely related to the demi-humans.
"How's Gu Qingzhu? Have you seen her?"
"I saw her from afar. She looked fine. I heard that she was unconscious."
Ravi asked, "What about the defense of the headquarters? What do you think?"
"It's very tight. When I just came out, Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo were still guarding the base headquarters."
Rhett and Ravi exchanged glances.
Meng Ruhui was indeed difficult to deal with!
They had originally planned to lure the people of the Mundt Gang out, and then take advantage of their absence to work together with Jite to directly break the internal magic array that created the black fog, or find a way to bring Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu out first.
Jite looked at the two of them and asked, "How is it? What's your plan? Now that Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo are both on guard, can you win?"
"This is not a question you should ask. Just do your part. We will help you solve your problems."
"Tsk."
Jite shrugged and said, "Up to you. I'm just reminding you. Fang Heng and Aktu went to another cave to set up a magic array. You guys go there and deal with him and the magic array. By then, the density of the black fog will be reduced. It'll be easy to deal with the Mundt Gang."
Vera thought that this was a good suggestion. He thought about it and nodded, "Alright, take us to Fang Heng first."
"Follow me."
Jite had already decided to cooperate with the Federation. Before coming to meet up, he familiarized himself with the terrain of the encampment and led everyone around the guards until they arrived at the cave where Fang Heng was.
Outside the cave, two guards of the Mundt Gang were standing guard.
The black fog had brought great trouble to the Federation. Similarly, the vision of the ordinary members of the Mundt Gang would also be affected.
"I'll distract them. You guys assist me."
Jite called out to his subordinates as they walked towards the cave entrance.
"Who are you?"
The players guarding the entrance immediately shouted a warning when they noticed them.
"It's us. We just saw a suspicious person and came over to take a look."
Jite explained as he brought his subordinates closer to the cave entrance.
The two guards did not let their guard down because of Jite's words. They looked at Jite, who was the leader, with a hint of vigilance in their eyes, "This place is very good. The people of the Federation have not appeared. Stop, don't come any closer!"
"What? Aktu isn't inside?"
As if he didn't hear him, Jitter persisted to talk to himself and slowly approached the cave entrance.
"I told you to stop…!"
The two guards of the Mundt Gang shouted.
"Shut up!"
Jite had not expected the security of the Mundt Gang to be so tight. Seeing that he could not get past them, he revealed his ferocious side and charged at the guards of the Mundt Gang.
"Not good! They are enemies!"
"Be careful!"
"Stop him! Activate the alarm!"
In an instant, the area alarm in the base sounded.
"Idiot!"
Vera was hiding behind a huge protruding rock not far away. When he saw Jite miss, he cursed in his heart and waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
The Federation's elite team immediately rushed towards the entrance of the cave!
More than a dozen guards of the Mundt Gang rushed out of the cave and engaged in a chaotic battle with Jite's subordinates and the small team of the Federation army.
Aktu was not too far away from the cave. When he spotted the invasion signal from the cave, his expression changed.
"D*mn it! It's the Federation!"
Aktu hurriedly retreated to support them.
He did not expect to confront the elite team of the Federation that was about to invade the cave entrance just as he returned to the cave entrance.
"Stop!"
Rhett and Ravi heard the shouts from behind. They frowned and quickly gazed at each other.
Their luck was terrible.
It was supposed to be a perfect cooperation from the inside and outside, but it was destroyed by that idiot Jite.
They did not expect Aktu's reinforcements to be so fast.
Since they had already been exposed, they had to settle this quickly and find Fang Heng immediately and seize him away!
When Aktu saw Jite mixing with the Federation's people, he immediately understood the Federation's intention for this attack. His eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Jite! It's you! We, the Mundt Gang, kindly took you in, but you betrayed us!"

1848 Breakthrough
Jite laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha! You're like a three-year-old kid, what do you mean by betraying me? We were just cooperating with each other before, and we each took what we needed. Now that you've lost your value, the cooperation is naturally terminated."
"I'll kill you!"
Aktu's heart was burning with anger as he led a dozen of his subordinates and charged toward Jite.
Despicable Federation!
They had almost succeeded!
Aktu sprinted forward while forming an imprint with his hands in front of him.
The black fog that shrouded the area formed a pair of giant-sized hands behind Aktu's back. The hands were raised high and slapped toward the Federation's people in the area ahead.
The hands condensed from the black fog collided with each other!
"Bang!!"
A dense black fog wrapped around the air exploded!
Hu…
Jite and the other players were instantly pushed back by the force!
Rhett and Vera controlled their bodies to retreat, putting their hands in front of them to resist the explosion of the black fog.
The two of them looked solemn. They looked at each other again and saw the fear in each other's eyes.
They could sense that the black fog was filled with a large number of negative effects.
The antidotes developed by the Federation had limited effects.
"Do it as soon as possible."
"I know!"
As the time they stayed in the black fog increased, their strength would only continue to weaken.
"Stop them!"
Aktu shouted as his body shot out from a layer of black fog. His eyes were red, and his body was covered in a thin layer of black fog. He used his body to block Rhett and the others.
"Hmph, go!"
Vela snorted and attacked Aktu from the left and right with Rhett!
"Bang!!"
Rhett punched forward!
The black fog exploded!
"Hahaha! Is that all you have?"
Aktu was knocked back a few steps. Laughing loudly, he charged forward again.
After a short exchange, Rhett and Vera felt a lot of pressure from Aktu.
The black fog's ability was too abnormal.
Without the black fog, in a normal environment, any one of them would be able to suppress Aktu.
Under the influence of the black fog, Aktu's strength had increased greatly. Furthermore, they lacked the holy pillar of light to disperse the surrounding black fog, so their strength was greatly weakened.
Given the difference in power, only the two of them could try to suppress Aktu.
Moreover, as time passed, the two of them would only become weaker!
Helpless, Vela glanced at Jite from the corner of her eyes.
Jite had just been blown away by the explosion of the aura, and his aura was extremely unstable. He had just recovered a little and stood up. Seeing that a few of them were entangled, he immediately gathered his subordinates and ran into the cave.
"Don't even think about it!"
Aktu saw the intentions of Jite and the others. He was angry and anxious. He flew up, wanting to intercept them again.
Rhett and Vera naturally didn't give him a chance. They worked together to stop Aktu.
"Jite! You will regret it!"
Aktu couldn't get away from Rhett and Vera so he could only watch Jite enter the cave. He tried to threaten him.
"Haha."
Jite sneered in his heart.
Originally, he was not willing to join the battle between the Mundt Gang and the Federation. He didn't expect the people from the Federation's military to be so weak!
He had no choice.
Since things had come to this, there was no way he could survive in the City of Darkness.
He could only go all the way and help the Federation.
Since they had already reached this stage, Jite wanted to take this opportunity to sneak into the cave and take Fang Heng down!
Jite led a dozen of his subordinates into the cave and quickly looked around the surroundings.
More than a dozen players of the Mundt Gang gathered around the rear. They seemed to be concentrating on the ritual.
He had no time to deal with them.
Thick black fog overflowed from the ritual.
There was still Fang Heng!
Jite immediately noticed Fang Heng, who was sitting on the ground beside the cave.
He noticed that Fang Heng's eyes were closed as if he was cultivating.
Heh…
It was so noisy outside, yet he was still cultivating under such circumstances?
He was really courting death!
Jite gripped the dark golden blade in his hand tightly and quickly approached Fang Heng, ready to knock him out and hand him over to the Federation.
Halfway through, Jite suddenly realized something. He slowed down and narrowed his eyes.
It seemed a little strange.
Fang Heng was just sitting on the ground, but the aura he emitted was indescribably strange.
He didn't care anymore!
The Federation's military wanted him alive.
Knock him out first!
Jite raised his blade high and aimed the back of the blade at Fang Heng. Then, he slashed down fiercely, and the sound of air being torn apart could be heard in the air.
"Hu!"
Just as the blade was about to land, Fang Heng, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened them!
"Whoosh!"
Jite found that his wrist, which was holding the hilt of his sword tightly, was being held by Fang Heng.
He stared at Fang Heng and felt an unshakable force on his wrist.
"Hu!!"
Fang Heng grabbed Jite's wrist and threw him to the right!
"Bang!!"
Jite was kicked into the air and slammed into the wall behind him.
"Boss!"
When the gang members saw this, they immediately surrounded Fang Heng, who was sitting on the ground near the edge of the rock wall.
Jite struggled to stand up by supporting himself against the wall. He looked at Fang Heng with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Wasn't he a player proficient in alchemy magic arrays?
How could he have such terrifying brute force?
Did he throw Jite away with one move?
Jite's dozen men surrounded Fang Heng, but no one dared to take half a step forward.
Fang Heng raised his head and looked at Jite's men who were surrounding him. He then slowly lowered his head and looked at his right hand.
He was already on the verge of breaking through the second stage of the 'lock'.
His mental power could already flow smoothly into every corner of his body, but it was restricted by an invisible membrane on his body and could not leak out of his body.
Fang Heng was still trying to gather his spiritual power to break through, and his awareness of the outside world had dropped to the bottom.
He didn't expect that at this critical moment, he would suddenly be stimulated by Jite from the outside world. He activated the human body's self-protection, and his spiritual energy was suddenly stimulated, breaking through the surface of his body!
He completed his breakthrough.
After knowing what had happened, Fang Heng looked at Jite with gratitude. He really had to thank Jite. Otherwise, it would take a lot of energy to break through Tier 2 of 'lock'.
Tier 2 of the 'lock' cultivation was like a window paper. Once it was broken, it would be easy to use spiritual energy to release it.
So now, he could already use the passive skills in the game in the real world?
Thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem to have any passive skills.
The undying body effect was a special reward for World Lords, it could be brought out of the game.
Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from Jite and used his spiritual power to sense the awareness of the outside world.
The most distinct change was that in the real world, his sensitivity to blood had greatly increased!
Even though he was in the dark fog, his awareness of blood was still sharp!

1849 Releasing
Eh?
Suddenly, Fang Heng realized something strange.
After releasing his mental strength, he became more sensitive to the black fog aura that shrouded the cave.
It seemed that Tier 2 of 'lock' was not just a passive skill in the game like what the outside world said. In fact, the key point was the degree of control over mental strength.
Tier 2 of 'lock' was the complete release of mental strength.
Most of the passive skills in the game were just additional.
Based on this, the breakthrough of Tier 1 of 'lock' outside the game was the release of perception.
Tier 2 was the release of mental strength.
What would Tier 3 be?
Fang Heng didn't care about Jite's group of subordinates gathered around him. He even lowered his head and pondered.
Different from perception, there were new changes when his mental strength came into contact with the surrounding black fog.
It wasn't like his perception, which would be completely devoured upon contact.
It seemed to be controllable.
Having just mastered a new skill, Fang Heng was like a curious baby, constantly trying to figure out how to use it.
From the feedback of his mental strength, the black fog gave Fang Heng an extremely gentle and comfortable feeling. It seemed that he could easily control the black fog with his mental strength.
Oh, right.
The people of the Mundt Gang could also control the black fog.
So they were also using their mental strength to control the black fog?
As Fang Heng thought about it, he began to use his mental strength to control the black fog.
How far could he control it?
He had the illusion that he could easily activate the black fog!
It was even more convenient than activating the Book of the Dead to control the soul chains!
Jite climbed up from the ground with the help of his subordinates and together, they surrounded Fang Heng. He looked at Fang Heng and was bewildered.
He felt that the aura emanating from Fang Heng's body was extremely strange. There seemed to be an invisible aura overflowing from his body. The aura seemed to have strangely fused with the surrounding black fog.
Looking closely, the black fog around Fang Heng was trembling weakly. to the extent that the black fog nearby was attracted by him and kept condensing around Fang Heng!
Something was wrong!
Jite had a bad feeling, and his heart was beating wildly.
He realized that there must be something wrong with Fang Heng.
No matter what it was, he couldn't let it continue!
Jite shouted, "What are you waiting for?! Attack together! Kill him!"
Jite shouted and once again raised his long blade to slash at Fang Heng. The rest of his subordinates also attacked Fang Heng!
Fang Heng had his eyes closed as he tried to comprehend the changes in the black fog outside and control it. When he heard Jite's shout, his expression turned solemn and he raised his hand in front of him!
"Whoosh!!"
The dense black fog suddenly revealed an aura of ferociousness under his spirit urging. It instantly condensed into a huge chain and was thrown forward!
"You!"
Seeing the change in the black fog, Jite's pupils suddenly lock.
"Bang!!!!"
Before Jite could get close, he was hit hard on the shoulder by the chain formed by the black fog!
He felt a huge pressure surging over him!
Jite was once again thrown out and slammed into the wall. The place where he was hit by the black chain turned black, and he couldn't even feel anything.
Poisoned effect?
Jite was shocked and immediately gulped down a bottle of low-grade antidote.
After swallowing the potion, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.
Jite was extremely shocked. He raised his head and saw Fang Heng slowly stand up from his original sitting position.
The black fog gathered behind him.
In a short moment, more than ten black chains floated behind him.
At this moment, Jite actually saw a strange smile appear on Fang Heng's face.
This kind of smile made Jite feel extremely terrified!
Fang Heng was in a good mood and had a smile on his face.
Interesting!
Practically speaking, controlling the black fog was similar to controlling the soul chains in the Book of the Dead!
It was much easier and the effect was also good!
Fang Heng put his palms together in front of him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!"
Dozens of black chains were instantly activated and dashed toward Jite's subordinates in a frenzy!
The chains formed by the black fog danced wildly!
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!!!"
Almost instantly, Jite's subordinates were flung away by the black chains that danced wildly!
"This…"
Jite was shocked by the scene in front of him. He looked at Fang Heng with a layer of cold sweat on his forehead, and his body trembled in fear.
What was going on?
How did he suddenly become so strong?
He had just arrived at the base of the Mundt Gang.
How could he control the black fog so easily?
That monster was even stronger than Yin Mo, the second-in-command of the Mundt Gang!
Previously, he had been warned by the Federation's military to be careful of Fang Heng, but he never expected Fang Heng's strength to be so tyrannical!
Whoosh!
Jite's pupils contracted again.
Several chains condensed from black fog flew towards him again!
"Get lost!"
Jite yelled and quickly jumped to the right. At the same time, he waved his sword in an attempt to forcefully blast the black fog away!
Chi!
However, the black fog chain wrapped tightly around Jite's swinging blade and his right arm!
Jite immediately felt a force tightly binding the right side of his body!
Without waiting for him to struggle, the black fog chains came one after another and bound his body tightly!
Jite realized that he was being slowly pulled into the air by the iron chain!
He was unable to move at all!
He was both angry and afraid.
He was furious that the Federation did not give him accurate information about Fang Heng, and he was even more afraid of the terrifying strength that Fang Heng had displayed!
He had never expected that he would not even have the slightest bit of resistance in Fang Heng's hands!
Jite had completely lost control of his body. He could only shout crazily, "Fang Heng! Let go of me! You will regret this! If you touch me, the Federation will…"
Fang Heng had no interest in listening to Jite.
It looked like he was playing around, but in fact, he was trying to gradually regulate the black fog.
He wanted to try and see how far he could control the black fog!
Whoosh! Swoosh!!!
The black fog lifted Jite into the air and the links gradually tightened. A pained expression appeared on Jite's face. He found that he was gradually losing regulate of his body under the power of the black fog.
His body became heavier and heavier, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
"Bang!!!"
Fang Heng released the links formed by the black fog and frowned as he looked at Jite, who had fallen to the ground and fainted.
He did not die but fainted first.
It seemed that the black fog had other characteristics compared to the Book of the Dead's soul chain.
It looked like Jite was poisoned or was it the loss of stamina?
Alright, no matter what, there should be more room for improvement in his regulate of the black fog.
Perhaps he could find Aktu to discuss how to regulate the black fog.
However, the strange thing was…

1850 Learning
Fang Heng stroked his chin again.
Why?
Why was he able to control the strength of the surrounding black fog so easily?
At the very least, many people in the Federation military possessed the Tier 2 lock ability.
However, they did not have such an ability.
Therefore, it could be concluded that the ability to control the black fog should not be an ability that normal people could possess after breaking through to Tier 2 of 'lock',
It was his problem.
So where did the crux of the problem lie?
As Fang Heng thought about it, he raised his head and looked around.
Most of Jite's men had lost their ability to fight after the first round of chain attacks. The remaining few barely managed to get up from the ground and they stared at Fang Heng in fear. They did not even dare to run.
Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!
The black chains flew towards the remaining people!
Fang Heng quickly used the black fog chains to deal with Jite's remaining subordinates and looked outside the cave.
He heard the shouts of Aktu fighting outside the cave.
Not good.
Aktu might be in trouble!
Fang Heng didn't think too much about it and quickly rushed to the periphery of the cave.
He had to help Aktu solve his problem first!
Outside the cave, Aktu was fighting with Rhett.
He was fighting one against two, and he was worried about Fang Heng's safety. He just wanted to get rid of the two of them and go to the cave to save Fang Heng.
In his anxiety, he couldn't use his full strength and was suppressed by Rhett and his companion!
"Whoosh!!"
Rhett's figure dashed out of the black fog.
He threw a punch!
"Boom!!!"
Aktu's black fog shield had absorbed most of the damage, but he was still knocked back by the punch. His blood was boiling.
What should he do?!
The two of them were too difficult to deal with. He could not get close to the entrance of the cave at all.
Fang Heng was the only one in the cave, and he was still cultivating. If he encountered danger and the ritual was interrupted…
"Boom!!!"
After taking another punch from Rhett, Aktu retreated.
When he was anxious, he was easily distracted.
Rhett and Vera immediately took advantage of Aktu's distraction and attacked continuously, forcing Aktu to retreat away from the cave entrance. They were waiting for Jite to finish off Fang Heng and disrupt the magic array.
Aktu was continuously suppressed by his opponents, but there was nothing he could do. Just as he was feeling extremely uncomfortable, he suddenly saw a figure flying out from the cave behind him!
Eh?!
Aktu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the person's face through the black fog. He immediately revealed a look of pleasant surprise.
"Whoosh!!"
Rhett noticed Aktu's gaze and expression. His heart skipped a beat and he turned around.
What the hell!
He also noticed a black shadow dashing out of the cave.
It was coming towards him!
The black shadow rapidly approached him as its speed rose to the limit!
Sneak attack?
Rhett felt the killing intent coming from behind him. He snorted coldly and immediately changed his target. The fist that was originally aimed at Aktu was now aimed at the figure behind him!
Eh?
Rhett let out a soft gasp in his heart as he threw a punch.
Before the first arrived, a black fog attacked first!
"Bang!!"
The fist shattered the thick black fog!
Then, his fist collided fiercely with the fist behind him!
Rhett immediately felt that something was wrong!
A punch was sent out, and an even greater strength came after!
He was unable to neutralize the strength of this punch and retreated a few steps!
Rhett was shocked by the punch.
How could there be someone who could suppress his skills and talent purely in terms of strength?
Rhett was even more surprised when he saw his face.
Fang Heng?!
It was him!
How was this possible?
It was clearly the same person!
The last time they met, his power was still above Fang Heng, and he firmly suppressed the latter.
But this time…
He was at a disadvantage?
Naturally, one of the reasons was that his stamina had decreased greatly.
However, it was not to the extent of this!
The biggest reason was still the black fog!
Rhett's expression was solemn.
Fang Heng had obviously mastered the ability to control the black fog!
D*mn it!
After Fang Heng and the Mundt Gang joined forces, both of their strengths had increased significantly!
When Vera saw Fang Heng come out, she could not help but snort coldly in her heart.
That idiot Jite.
It seemed like the operation had failed. He could not even handle such a small matter!
Aktu was pleasantly surprised after confirming that it was Fang Heng and shouted to him, "Fang Heng!"
Fang Heng asked Aktu as he forced Rhett to withdraw with a punch, "Are you alright?"
"Hehe, no problem. I'm very good."
Seeing that Fang Heng was safe and sound, Aktu's heart was finally at ease. He chuckled and looked at Rhett, "Then I'm relieved. They'll have a taste of being beaten up next!"
Whoosh!
Aktu's eyes flashed with a strong fighting spirit, and his body was instantly enveloped in a layer of black fog!
Eh?
The black fog could be operated in such a way?
Fang Heng observed Aktu's actions and found them extremely interesting.
He would learn from him!
Fang Heng immediately manipulated the black fog to gather around his body, condensing the black fog to form an armor around his body.
Not bad!
Fang Heng's eyes lit up.
He only needed to use his spiritual power to control the black fog to condense it into an armor with extraordinary defensive capabilities.
The black fog was weightless and did not affect his agility at all!
Aktu was also shocked by Fang Heng's actions.
What was going on? How did Fang Heng know how to use the black fog?
Now was not the time to talk. Aktu temporarily restrained his doubts and whispered, "Fang Heng, think of a way to make them stay."
"Understood!"
Aktu's hands formed a seal in front of him.
"Gather!"
The black fog condensed into two huge palms behind him.
"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!"
He raised his palm high and pressed it down on the two individuals standing in front of him!
"Boom!"
An area attack!
The palm exploded as soon as it landed on the ground, causing a wave of damage in the surroundings!
Rhett and Vera dodged back and forth in the gaps between the palm attacks!
This move was not bad!
Fang Heng watched from the side and could not help but praise in his heart.
A large-scale attack mode.
The consumption of spiritual power was not great. Moreover, it was divided into two parts. When the palm landed on the ground, it would explode, causing a second explosion of black fog, affecting an area within the area.
Other than that, he could control the black fog through his spiritual power.
Speaking of spiritual power control, one had to mention occultism.
Therefore, the hand seals and incantations of occultism could play a significant supporting role.
So if that was the case…
Looking at Aktu's actions, Fang Heng immediately understood.
"Not bad, not bad…"
Fang Heng muttered to himself. Then, he imitated him and formed the same hand seal in front of him.
"Gather!"
Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!
The black fog was immediately affected by his spiritual power and rapidly condensed behind Fang Heng!
In the blink of an eye, the black fog condensed into a dozen huge fists.
"Boom! Boom Boom!!!"
His fist smashed toward the area in front of him!
F*ck!
Rhett and Vera were shocked.

1851 Drawing Inferences from One Instance
What was going on?
He was originally a melee player, why did he suddenly start to use AOE spells to bombard them!
Furthermore, from the degree of the condensation of the black fog on the fist, the strength of the fist was definitely not inferior to Aktu's palm!
It even looked more threatening than Aktu's palm!
Not to mention the Federation, Aktu was shocked when he saw this scene.
What was going on with Fang Heng?
The people of the Mundt Gang needed the help of medicine to master the control of the black fog. They would need a long period of training to do so.
Why did Fang Heng not seem to need it at all?
He could actually draw inferences from one instance!
It looked like he was even more ferocious than himself.
Whoosh! Swoosh!!!
Rhett and Vera frantically dodged the punches and palms! They felt immense pressure from the rapid attacks and their stamina was rapidly decreasing!
This couldn't go on!
They had to retreat first!
The two of them looked at each other and immediately took out an advanced magic scroll.
Ice shield!
Whoosh!
They poured their mental strength into the magic array, and a condensed ice shield spread out around the two of them!
Aktu shouted, "Fang Heng! They are trying to escape! Stop them!"
"I know!"
Fang Heng shouted. As he ran forward, more than twenty fists quickly condensed behind him and boomed toward Rhett and Vera again!
Rhett and Vera were about to go crazy.
Moving spell casting?
How could there be such an unreasonable person?
Aktu was also shocked.
There was actually someone who could control the black fog to cast a spell attack while still chasing at such a speed?
He had never heard or seen such a thing before!
Fang Heng stared at the two of them and the black fog behind him condensed into fists that kept booming forward!
"Boom! Boom Boom!!!"
The black fist landed on the ice crystal barrier and collided violently, releasing a series of 'booms'!
The barrier kept trembling!
"Boom! Boom Boom!!!"
Finally, as the last few fists landed at the same time, the ice crystal barrier exploded with a bang!
The dense black fog also exploded at the same time!
"Run!"
A loud shout came from within the black fog.
Vera and Rhett were covered in blood as they rushed out of the black fog and attacked quickly!
Fang Heng looked in the direction the two of them fled in, and his eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.
Their speed had almost doubled. Moreover, the lifeblood in their bodies was very abnormal!
In Fang Heng's spiritual perception, the lifeblood of these two people was dazzling and terrifying.
A secret technique related to vitality…
Moreover, the price of using it was extremely high!
Fang Heng thought to himself.
"F*ck! Fang Heng! Let's chase after them!"
Aktu caught up. He wanted to chase after the two of them when he saw the direction they had fled in.
"Wait!"
Fang Heng stretched out his hand to stop Aktu, who was about to give chase.
Aktu was impatient and asked anxiously, "Fang Heng, why aren't you chasing after them? They are already heavily injured. The bloody robe combat technique that they used is passed down internally within the Federation and consumes a lot of vitality. They won't be able to hold on for long!"
"There's no need to chase them. The price of unleashing their potential is too high. Even if we let them go back, they won't be able to recover their combat strength in a short period to continue fighting."
Fang Heng looked at the direction the two of them were running in and advised, "In this situation, we can't be sure that Jite is the only one who betrayed the Mundt Gang. The gang headquarters might be in danger. Let's go back and take a look first."
Aktu broke out in a cold sweat.
That's right! There was still the gang headquarters!
This bunch of bastards from the Federation was too sinister.
They actually colluded with the mole to trick them!
Fortunately, Fang Heng happened to be in the cave.
Jite and the others had met with an obstacle.
But what about the headquarters?
If Big Brother and Second Brother were distracted by the people outside and broke into the headquarters' cave with the help of other spies…
The consequences would be unimaginable!
"Brother Fang Heng, you're right. Let's return to the headquarters!"
Aktu was instantly shocked. He immediately lost the intention to pursue the enemy and ordered his subordinates to bring the unconscious Jite back to the headquarters.
The people of the Mundt Gang were not good either.
Aktu had already thought it through. Once this matter was over, he would use Jite as an example in front of everyone!
Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys!
Betrayal comes with a price and they will have to pay with their lives!
When the two of them rushed back to the cave headquarters in the depths of the encampment, they saw that the security outside the cave was tight.
There were no signs of damage.
Aktu heaved a sigh of relief and brought Fang Heng into the cave.
Everything in the cave was in order. Aktu grabbed a guard captain and asked, "Where's Big Brother?"
"Earlier, the cave area had issued an invasion alarm. Leader Meng and Leader Yin had already investigated the Federation's actions in advance. They had thoroughly cleaned up the team and found the rebels who were preparing to cooperate with the Federation."
"Leader Meng wants to take advantage of the chaos to disguise himself as a rebel team and launch an attack. He wants to take this opportunity to destroy the magic array that the Federation has set up at the periphery."
"Leader Meng instructed us to guard the cave in the holy land immediately after you return to prevent the Federation from making any more moves." The team leader lowered his head to look at the time on his watch and said, "In three minutes and twenty seconds, we will activate the black fog with all our strength and cooperate with Leader Meng."
Fang Heng and Aktu couldn't help but look at each other.
Meng Ruhui was something!
After seeing through the Federation's plan, he immediately counterattacked. After eliminating the crisis, he even wanted to bite off a piece of meat from the Federation's hands!
The current situation was a little chaotic, so he disguised himself as a traitor and sneaked in to launch an assault.
There might really be a chance of success.
"Good!"
Aktu had always been very obedient to Meng Ruhui. When he heard what Meng Ruhui was doing, he immediately ordered his men to strengthen the defenses inside and outside the cavern hall. He was on guard against the Federation's attack once again and was preparing for the ritual.
After everything was arranged properly and under the urging of the members of the Mundt Gang, the speed of the ritual accelerated several times!
Thick black fog seeped out from the cracks in the rock wall and enveloped the outside world!
Aktu once again shifted his stare to the spots of Holy Light within the encampment. The specks of light swayed under the effect of the black fog as if they could be extinguished at any moment.
It seemed that the Federation had begun to retreat.
Aktu was worried about his Big Brother and Second Brother's situation and prayed in his heart.
Fang Heng patted Aktu's shoulder and consoled him, "Don't worry. Your Big Brother and Second Brother have a very strong manipulate over the black fog. With the help of the black fog, even if the plan fails, there will be no problem for them to protect themselves."
"Yes."
Aktu nodded.
The situation just now was urgent and he didn't have time to ask.
Now that he had finally breathed a sigh of relief, Aktu thought of the peculiar things that had happened to Fang Heng and could not help but turn to look at him.
Black fog!
He could manipulate the black fog that was unique to the Mundt Gang.
Ever since his Big Brother, Meng Ruhui, moved here, he had been learning how to manipulate the black fog with him.
It was strange.
Meng Ruhui seemed to be born with the ability to manipulate the black fog and now, Aktu saw the same ability in Fang Heng.

1852 Awakening
"Fang Heng, you…"
Aktu felt that something was amiss. He could not help but ask, "Have you learned how to control the black fog before?"
"Never before."
Fang Heng shook his head.
"How did you learn to control the black fog?"
"I don't know either. It's like an instinct. I can control the black fog by releasing my mental strength. I can master this ability after breaking through Tier 2 of 'lock'. You too?"
Fang Heng also found it strange. He had naturally learned the ability to control the black fog after breaking through Tier 2 of 'lock'.
It was as if he was born with it.
Innate?
Hearing this answer, Aktu had the urge to vomit blood.
He had spent a lot of time and energy learning how to control the black fog.
On the other hand, Fang Heng just used his instincts to get started. Moreover, he could even control it better than him!
"I didn't. When I learned how to control the black fog, I spent a lot of time and suffered a lot."
Aktu said honestly and shrugged.
He suddenly paused as he spoke. He suddenly realized something and turned to look at Fang Heng. He stared straight at him, his eyes flashing with disbelief.
"What's wrong?"
"What did you just say?"
Aktu looked at Fang Heng like he was a monster and repeated, "What? You uttered you've broken through Tier 2 of 'lock'?!"
"Ah, right. I was quite lucky. When I was cultivating, I received external stimulation from Jite, and my mental strength was triggered. My luck is pretty good, so I broke through. Otherwise, I would have spent more effort."
Fang Heng felt a little emotional at the mention of this. He really had to thank Jite for saving him a lot of time.
Aktu was stunned by Fang Heng's words.
Tier 2 of 'lock'!
Fang Heng actually broke through Tier 2 of 'lock'!
Aktu couldn't help but think of all the hardships he had gone through when he had broken through Tier 2 of 'lock'.
In comparison, Fang Heng only took less than two hours to master it?
Fang Heng didn't think that breaking through Tier 2 of 'lock' was anything to be surprised about. After all, he had spent more than half a month from the beginning.
He took way too much time then.
Compared to this, the black fog was what he was most puzzled about. He continued to talk about the black fog.
"What about you? Aktu, how did you learn how to control the black fog?"
Aktu calmed himself down. He took a minute to digest this fact. Then he continued, "Big Brother taught me how to control the black fog. Everyone in the Mundt Gang was taught how to control the black fog by Big Brother."
Meng Ruhui?
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.
Ever since he entered the City of Darkness, he had never seen Meng Ruhui join the battle.
He had heard some rumors from Xiaoqi. He said that the strongest people in the Mundt Gang were Yin Mo and Aktu but he had never heard of Meng Ruhui.
"Is your Big Brother very strong?"
"Yes, that's right. Big Brother's strength is the strongest among the three of us. However, Big Brother hasn't fought for a long time."
Aktu seemed to have recalled something, and his eyes could not help but flicker.
"About five years ago, we received a special mission. The difficulty of the mission was very high. At the last critical moment, to obtain a higher level of mission, Big Brother was seriously injured."
"Although the mission has been completed, there is no way to completely heal Big Brother's injuries."
"After that, we spent a lot of effort and teleported to several advanced game worlds to find a cure."
"Until one day, after I left for more than a month and completed the individual ring missions, I found that Big Brother had suddenly become the leader of the Mundt Gang. Then, he brought us and a group of gang members to the City of Darkness in the real world and settled down here."
"At that time, I heard that Big Brother came into contact with a special mission that could help him treat his serious illness. Later on, our focus was more on the real world."
Fang Heng looked outside the cave and asked again, "Did your Big Brother figure out how to use the black fog after coming to the City of Darkness?"
"This… Actually, I'm not too sure either."
Aktu recalled, "I remember that not long after we arrived here, Big Brother brought us to cultivate the black fog together."
Fang Heng rubbed his chin. It seemed like Meng Ruhui was still hiding something from Aktu.
While the two were talking, a member of the Mundt Gang walked up to Aktu and whispered something into his ear.
Aktu's eyes lit up when he heard that. He turned to Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, good news! Your friend is awake!"
Gu Qingzhu!
Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat and he replied, "Alright! Thank you, I'll go and see her now!"
"Okay, go. I'll be here."
Fang Heng was worried about Gu Qingzhu's condition. He immediately followed the members of the Mundt Gang to the lounge to search for her.
…
In the lounge, although Gu Qingzhu had woken up, her condition was still very bad.
Previously, she had been attacked by the Federation. To protect her companions, she had forcefully fought against the elite team of the Federation's investigation team.
Later on, to break through the barrier, she forcefully activated the power in her body that she had not completely controlled. In the end, she suffered a serious backlash.
Fana had always been on high alert against Gu Qingzhu. She had been watching her from the side since she woke up until Fang Heng arrived.
Fang Heng walked into the lounge, his gaze lingering on Gu Qingzhu's face for a moment.
Although the facial contours and hairstyles were somewhat similar, Fang Heng could no longer associate Gu Qingzhu with Xia Xi.
They were two completely different people!
Then why did he have this delusion before?
Fang Heng couldn't help but ponder. He nodded at Fana and said, "Fana, I want to talk to her alone."
"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."
Fana got up and left the lounge, closing the door behind her.
Gu Qingzhu was also observing Fang Heng. She thought that Fang Heng was of her race.
Gu Qingzhu clearly remembered what happened before she fainted. She watched Fang Heng walk towards her step by step and nodded in thanks, "Thank you. I remember that you saved me. Thank you for shielding me and bringing me to the City of Darkness."
"You're welcome. Let's not talk about this first."
There were no outsiders present. Fang Heng looked straight into Gu Qingzhu's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "I want to know who you are."
"I am Gu Qingzhu. I'm the same as you. We're both demi-humans. You don't have to be so careful."
Gu Qingzhu did not have any hostility towards Fang Heng. Instead, she was somewhat grateful as she spoke, "I will not lay a hand on my clansmen. I am also willing to believe you."
Fang Heng's worry deepened as he stared at Gu Qingzhu.
The other party seemed to have misunderstood.
He was not a demi-human.
Fang Heng didn't hurry to clarify, "You know Xia Xi, right?"
"Xia Xi?"
Gu Qingzhu felt a little strange when she heard this name. She repeated it in a low voice. She thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, I've never heard of this name."
