1853 The Past

Didn't know?!

This answer was far beyond Fang Heng's expectations.

She had never even heard of the name Xia Xi!

Fang Heng was stunned on the spot.

This answer was something he had never thought of.

He continued to ask, "You don't know her? Previously at Haines School, when I called out Xia Xi's name, your expression changed significantly. Why is that so?"

"Is that so? Maybe it was a little strange when I heard an unfamiliar name. You mistook me for someone else. Also, you surprised me a little."

Gu Qingzhu recalled the situation at that time and explained, "You're very lucky. I happened to see you enter the game using a unique method of the demi-human tribe. That's how I identified you. Otherwise, you might have ended up like those lackeys of the Federation."

Fang Heng frowned.

That's right!

Fang Heng thought of something and took out his phone from his backpack.

Although there was no signal and the magnetic field was severely disrupted, the phone still had a photo of Xia Xi.

Fang Heng immediately pulled out a photo of Xia Xi from his phone and handed it to Gu Qingzhu. He asked, "Do you know her? She is Xia Xi."

The moment she saw Xia Xi's photo, Gu Qingzhu's expression changed significantly.

"She is Xia Xi? So she is Xia Xi."

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and said, "You really know her! Who is she?"

"The person who gave me strength. This is a long story."

"Are you willing to tell me? It might be very important to me."

Gu Qingzhu's gaze lingered on Fang Heng for a moment, and she gradually sank into her memories, "That was a long time ago. I lived in a village outside Reider County."

"On a peaceful night, the village was massacred by outsiders. My parents told me to hide in the basement. I heard shouts and pleas from outside. The village was razed to the ground overnight."

"When I woke up, I was already brought to the Federation's research institute."

"There were other demi-humans like me in the research institute. They were all locked up here. It was only now that I found out the reason why the village was massacred."

"It's all because of me. Because of my demi-human tribe bloodline."

"To study the demi-human tribe, the Federation captured us for live experiments.

"In the research institute, our every move is under the surveillance of the Federation. To survive, we can only accept the various experiments that the Federation gives us."

"At that time, I was one of the youngest. To protect us, the tribesmen fought to take part in those dangerous experiments. We could only watch as our tribesmen died in pain after receiving the experiments. Even after their death, they continued to conduct experiments."

Gu Qingzhu recalled the past, and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes. She continued, "Their bodies and souls could not be at peace. Their bodies were dissected and studied, and their souls were tortured endlessly."

"My people have been trying to resist. Finally, one day, we found an opportunity. My people started a riot in the research institute."

"I escaped from the research institute under the protection of my clansmen. To protect us, my clansmen died one by one in front of me. There were a total of 372 companions. When we escaped from the research institute, there were only 20 of us."

At this point, Gu Qingzhu's expression gradually returned to being cold.

"From then on, we bore the hatred of our dead comrades. We didn't do anything wrong. It was only because of our bloodline that we paid the price. Is this fair?"

Fang Heng looked at Gu Qingzhu and shook his head gently.

He had seen some information about the Federation's research on demi-humans on the Dark Net, but he was not sure if it was true or not.

Gu Qingzhu laughed self-deprecatingly and replied, "Perhaps being weak is the greatest sin."

"We constantly sought power and gathered strength in secret until one day six years ago, our whereabouts were accidentally leaked and we were pursued by the Federation again."

"Just when we were at our wits' end, Xia Xi appeared in front of me. She saved me."

"She told me that I have a trait that she needs. She was willing to give me a chance to obtain great power, but if I failed, the consequence might be death."

Gu Qingzhu said lightly, "I accepted her suggestion and took the initiative to participate in the ritual she mentioned."

Hearing Gu Qingzhu's description of the ritual, Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

A ritual!

Therefore, Gu Qingzhu also went through the ritual!

However, Gu Qingzhu was willing to accept the ritual.

But he was different.

From some fragmented memories, Fang Heng was sure that his predecessor was forced to accept the ritual.

Fang Heng already knew what the ritual was about but he still looked at Gu Qingzhu and asked, "What kind of ritual was it?"

Gu Qingzhu hesitated for a moment and shook her head, "You don't desire to know more. This is also for your safety."

As expected!

Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

The demonic seed!

Xia Xi was closely connected with the demonic seed!

"No, I understand. Is it the demonic seed? I've also experienced the demonic seed ritual."

Gu Qingzhu did not expect Fang Heng to say this answer and looked at him in surprise.

"Did you succeed?"

Fang Heng nodded lightly.

Gu Qingzhu's eyes were filled with more surprise, and then she retracted her gaze.

"I really envy you. Unfortunately, I failed. I was lucky enough to keep my life."

Hearing Gu Qingzhu's description, Fang Heng clenched his fists again.

A failure…

Was he a successful experimental product of the ritual?

Gu Qingzhu could not help but sigh, "Although the ritual failed, Xia Xi still gave me a second chance. She acknowledged my revenge and bestowed me with a special power."

"What power is it?"

"I'm sorry. I promised her that I wouldn't tell anyone."

Fang Heng didn't ask about the type of power and changed the question, "How much do you be aware of about Xia Xi?"

"No, I haven't seen her since that ritual. I don't know when she will appear in front of me again."

Fang Heng lowered his head and thought for a moment. He then raised his head and asked, "Can you locate a way to reach out to her?"

"Sure, I have her reach out to information." Gu Qingzhu nodded and said, "But I've never contacted her. My name has always been on the Federation's wanted list. I don't desire to have too much contact with her. I'm worried that I'll bring her trouble."

Gu Qingzhu looked around and sighed, "The last time I saw Xia Xi was here."

Fang Heng raised his head abruptly, "What? You mean here?"

"Yes, we had the ritual here. I recall it very clearly. After the failure of the ritual, I never contacted Xia Xi again."

Gu Qingzhu looked at Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, I just heard Fana talking about the Federation outside. It seems that our situation is not optimistic."

"Yes."

Fang Heng thought for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

1854 Doubts

"I forcefully used the strength that Xia Xi left for me, and I suffered a huge backlash. I need some time to recover. I will think of a way to bring you out of here. It was me who caused the trouble, so I will try my best to escort you out of here."

"Where are the shackles? Do you have a way to undo the shackles? After being shackled, I still can't enter the game."

"Yes, the shackle imprint and the tracking imprint were left behind by the Federation to target the demi-human tribe. As far as I know, there are two ways to remove the imprint. The first is time. The tracking imprint will gradually fade after seven days and completely disappear after 28 days."

"The second way to eliminate it is through a ritual. The ritual is very complicated, and it can't be carried out in our current situation. We can only wait. After seven days, I have a way to weaken the tracking imprint. At that time, we can avoid the Federation's tracking for a short period and try to escape."

"Alright, I understand. I'll buy you some time and think of a way to delay the Federation outside."

Fang Heng nodded and took out a bottle of quick recovery potion from his pocket.

"Do you need this?"

"It can help a little."

Gu Qingzhu downed the bottle of medicine that was handed to her and sat cross-legged. She formed a hand seal in front of her and closed her eyes to rest.

Fang Heng pushed open the door to the lounge.

Fana had been waiting outside the door. When she saw that the two of them had finished their conversation, she nodded at him. Then, she looked at Gu Qingzhu, who was resting on the spot. She asked, "Fang Heng, is she trustworthy?"

"I feel that she might be hiding some things from me. However, she has no ill intentions towards me. We need to work together to deal with the Federation. We can trust her."

"Okay, be careful. I'll keep an eye on her."

"Alright, I'll go outside and take a look first."

Fang Heng walked towards the hall again.

So…

Xia Xi had also been here.

From what Gu Qingzhu said, the time when Xia Xi took her to hold the ritual was about six years ago.

"Six years ago…"

Wait a minute…

Suddenly, Fang Heng thought of something and his pupils constricted.

He raised his head abruptly and looked at the headquarters of the Mundt Gang which had undergone a large-scale transformation.

The black fog was constantly seeping out from the cracks in the stone wall.

"Ritual…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

He and Xia Xi had both experienced the ritual.

The ritual they held was used to awaken the demonic seed. He remembered very clearly that the location of the ritual was not in the cave. Instead, it was in a place that looked like a bell tower.

There were a total of seven types of demonic seeds.

He and Xia Xi did not participate in the same ritual.

It was true that Gu Qingzhu might be a failure.

However, the venue where the ritual was held was very likely related to the demonic seed!

Then, he thought of the black fog!

No wonder!

No wonder he felt that the black fog was familiar when he first entered the City of Darkness.

Now that he thought about it carefully, this fog was slightly similar to the aura fluctuation he sensed when he was fighting the Tongues of Jealousy.

In addition to his ability to control the black fog just now, it was very likely related to the power of the demonic seed in his body.

Therefore, in the rift in the game world deep inside the entrance of the holy land in the headquarters of the Mundt Gang…

Combining all the signs, Fang Heng had a vague guess in his heart.

It was very likely that it was a world connected to the demonic seed!

Meng Ruhui had come here two years ago.

He was most likely related to the demonic seed!

Meng Ruhui was hiding something from Aktu, and it was very likely that he was protecting Aktu.

The more information he came into contact with the demonic seed, the more likely he would be contaminated by the demonic seed.

The more Fang Heng thought about it, the more he sensed that his guess was right.

He really wanted to go in and take a look, but unfortunately, the entrance to the holy land of the Mundt Gang had always been guarded by their people. The people of the Mundt Gang valued the holy land very much. It would be difficult to get them to let him in.

Perhaps…

It was time to talk to Meng Ruhui.

…

When Fang Heng returned to the headquarters of the Mundt Gang, Meng Ruhui had not returned yet. Aktu was still waiting anxiously.

The central ritual in the headquarters had been pushed to its limit. Thick black fog continued seeping out of the ritual magic array.

"Aktu, how's the situation?"

"Not too good."

Aktu stared at the outside world with a frown. He did not forget to pay attention to Fang Heng and asked, "How's your friend? Is everything all right?"

"She's awake for the time being. She still needs some time before she recovers."

Fang Heng said as he gazed outside at the encampment of the Mundt Gang, which was shrouded in a thick black fog.

The pillar of light that had invaded the encampment had already retreated.

An intense battle erupted outside the encampment.

It seemed that Meng Ruhui had already executed out his plan and initiated a surprise attack on the temporary magic array area outside the Federation.

As for whether the ambush would succeed, it was hard to say.

Fang Heng's gaze shifted to the holy land of the Mundt Gang behind him and said, "Aktu, I want to go inside the holy land and take a look."

"To the holy land?" Aktu turned around and rejected him almost reflexively, "No way! Absolutely not!"

Fang Heng was silent for a moment before saying, "I have some guesses. We might be able to find a way to strengthen the black fog in the holy land."

"This…"

Aktu hesitated for a moment. He knew that Fang Heng could improve magic arrays.

After some thought, Aktu shook his head and said, "Fang Heng, the holy land is an important place for the Mundt Gang. No one is allowed to enter, even if it's an emergency now. Wait a little longer. We'll discuss it when Big Brother comes back. I can't let you in now."

Fang Heng saw Aktu's insistence and shook his head helplessly.

In the outside world, the light released by the Holy Light pillar flickered.

Clearly, the battle was still ongoing.

But soon, as time passed, the density of the black fog released by the ritual gradually decreased.

Aktu saw that the situation was not looking good and frowned, "Why is the efficiency of the ritual decreasing so quickly?"

a member of the Mundt Gang, who was assisting in the ritual, replied in a low voice, "Third Master, the magic array is running out of energy. The energy stored in the magic array is almost exhausted. The concentration of the black fog released by the ritual will continue to decrease. We can only hold on for three hours at most. By then, the energy will be completely exhausted."

It would last for at most three hours…

Moreover, the density of the black fog would continue to decrease.

Aktu stared worriedly at the Holy Light pillar that bloomed outside the encampment.

"Aktu."

Fang Heng gazed at Aktu again and said in a deep voice, "The situation outside isn't looking good. Your Big Brother has led his men to launch a surprise attack on the Federation outside the encampment. This is undoubtedly a risky move. Once he succeeds, it will undoubtedly buy us a lot of time."

"But if we fail, the energy we have left will no longer be enough to create enough black fog to resist Federation's next attack. Our situation will only get worse."

"Don't say anymore." Aktu was already feeling uneasy. He could not help but interrupt, "My brother will never fail!"

Fang Heng frowned.

Aktu was very obedient to Meng Ruhui.

It seemed like he could only wait.

He hoped that everything would go smoothly for Meng Ruhui and that he would return as soon as possible.

1855 Miscalculation

Suddenly, Fang Heng sensed something and looked up at the entrance of the encampment.

"Whoosh!"

A holy pillar of light shot into the sky!

"Boom!!!"

Dense Holy Light shone and spread out rapidly, causing the black fog to dissipate!

What the hell!

Even though he was deep within the Mundt Gang, Fang Heng could still perceive the violent holy power fluctuations erupting in the distance.

What exactly happened over there?

The others also sensed the fluctuations that erupted outside the base, and they were shocked.

The Holy Light that followed the explosion seemed to have been stimulated, and the black fog that enveloped the depths of the Mundt Gang's base also caused violent fluctuations!

The black fog was guided, and like a floodgate opening, it quickly surged toward the direction of the holy pillar of light at the entrance of the encampment!

The explosive Holy Light collided with the thick black fog!

"Chi, chi chi…"

The black fog rapidly melted under the illumination of the Holy Light!

The Holy Light was also gradually dimming under the influence of the black fog.

"Big Brother…"

Aktu stared into the distance and muttered to himself.

He knew that Meng Ruhui must be in trouble!

The Holy Light and the black fog intertwined for more than a minute before slowly dissipating. More than half of the black fog in the entire camp had been consumed. The strength to control the black fog gradually weakened.

The holy pillar of light was still outside the camp.

Aktu looked at the holy pillar of light in the distance that was gradually blooming with light again, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.

This was bad.

The strength that controlled the black fog in the base disappeared.

This meant that it was very likely that his Big Brother and Second Brother had lost their ability to fight in the war with the Federation.

The situation was very bad!

What should he do?

Aktu's heart was in a mess.

Fang Heng was also staring at the pillar of light rising from the base.

The strength of the magic array's pillar of light was terrifying, and the energy fluctuations it emitted even penetrated the black fog.

Who did the Holy Court send this time?

Meng Ruhui had clearly grasped the timing of this ambush very well but he did not expect to meet an even stronger opponent!

Aktu clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were slightly red. His chest heaved up and down a few times as he shouted, "Everyone, follow me! Let's kill them together!"

"Wait! Aktu, calm down."

Fang Heng pressed Aktu's shoulder and stared at him, "Do you still remember what Leader Meng told you? He told you to guard the holy land."

Aktu's eyes were bloodshot as he looked outside the base.

"If anything happens to Big Brother and Second Brother, it is useless for us to stay here. I want them to pay the price…"

"Hahahaha! What a joke! What effect do you think you can achieve if you go over now?"

Hearing the wild laughter, Aktu and Fang Heng twisted to look at Jite who was tied up by ropes.

Jite had just woken up, but he had been pretending to faint to save his life.

He had thought that he was going to be in big trouble this time, but he did not expect to see the holy fluctuations that erupted in the outside world. He immediately knew that his chance had come, so he stopped pretending. He laughed loudly, flipped over, and struggled to kneel on the ground.

"You guys don't know yet, right? This time, the Oracle of the Holy Court, Autolia, has come personally to completely clean up the black fog in the City of Darkness!"

"Hahaha! What a joke! You guys are delusional enough to think that you can break through the Federation's defense? Ridiculous!"

Hearing this, Aktu's heart sank.

Oracle-Autolia.

She was one of the holy realm's representatives in the real world and the controller of the holy weapon, the Silent Libra.

She was extremely powerful.

If she had come personally…

No wonder even Big Brother and Second Brother couldn't resist it!

"A mere Mundt Sect is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

"So what if the three of you go together? It's like sending yourself to death. Why don't you let me go now? When the time comes, I'll plead with the Lord Oracle. If you're willing to help the Federation, what's wrong with letting you all live?"

Jite sneered and glanced at Fang Heng from the corner of his eyes. He said, "Also, I guess you guys probably don't know yet, right? This time, the Federation's clean-up of City of Darkness is all because of this kid. He and his friends are all high-ranking wanted criminals of the Federation. The Federation was lured here by this kid!"

Aktu was stunned when he heard that. He twisted to look at Fang Heng.

Jite continued, "Aktu, don't be so stubborn. As long as you help me take down Fang Heng and his friends, I promise you guys will be fine!"

"Shut up!"

Aktu was provoked. He took two steps forward and kicked Jite over. His eyes were cold as he gazed at him.

"Are you playing tricks with me? I'll tell you that the Mundt Gang and the Federation will fight to the death. Fine, since the three of us are going to die anyway, I'll bury you with us first!"

Jite saw the intense light in Aktu's eyes and was frightened. His face instantly twisted pale. He had never expected that his persuasion to surrender would provoke Aktu.

If he had known earlier, he would have continued to pretend to be unconscious.

"Don't be rash."

Fang Heng stretched out his hand and placed it on Aktu's shoulder, saying, "Aktu, things are not so bad that we have to be buried with him. What he said might not be the truth. The outside world might not be as bad as we think, but we have to take action now. Take me to the holy land to take a look. Perhaps there might be a turning point."

Aktu clenched his fists tightly, forcing himself to calm down and think.

But he couldn't do it.

In fact, everyone in the cave, including him, had already believed most of Jite's words.

Unless Oracle Autolia came personally, who else could activate and release all the strength of the holy magic array?

Who could easily defeat Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo in such a black fog environment?

It was impossible!

Aktu took a deep breath and shook his head, "It's useless, Fang Heng. I've gone into the holy land to take a look. There's nothing else in the holy land other than the game rift. Just relying on the game rift won't help us at all…"

"Let's try! I have to take a look inside the holy land. Take me with you, and I promise I won't act rashly. What if I can find a way to help your Big Brother?"

Fang Heng tried to persuade him again, "Aktu, if Oracle Autolia comes here personally, we will only be sending ourselves to our deaths if we go over now. The holy land might be our last chance."

Aktu couldn't stand Fang Heng's repeated persuasion. In addition, he was worried about the safety of his two brothers. After a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "How confident are you?"

"Only 50%. But if we don't go, there will be nothing left."

Aktu gritted his teeth as he said, "Alright, I'll bring you in!"

The situation had reached a critical point. Aktu no longer insisted and hurriedly brought Fang Heng to the entrance of the holy land. He waved his hand to signal for the guards guarding the entrance to leave.

However, the few guards guarding the entrance of the holy land did not make way. Instead, they continued to block the entrance of the holy land.

Aktu scowled and said, "What are you guys doing? Get out of the way!"

"Leader Meng has persistently instructed that no one is allowed to enter the holy land unless they obtain his approval…"

1856 Rift in the Holy Land

Aktu's tone was filled with anger and he asked in a deep voice, "Including me?"

The two guards didn't say anything, but their actions showed it all. They continued to block the entrance of the holy land.

Aktu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

The situation had already reached such an urgent stage, yet the guards of the Mundt Gang still didn't move aside.

He suddenly felt that there must be some secret in the holy land. Otherwise, why would Big Brother and Second Brother keep stopping him from entering the holy land?

"We don't even know if my brothers are dead or alive, I am asking you to move aside! Did you hear that?"

The two guards looked at each other and hesitated.

"Leader, please believe that Leader Meng gave this order for you…"

"Shut up!"

Aktu no longer had the patience to continue listening. He drew out his knife and shouted coldly, "I'll say it one last time!"

The two captains sighed in their hearts and signaled for their subordinates to make way for them. They stood respectfully to the side.

"Fang Heng, let's go in and take a look."

"Yes."

Fang Heng agreed. He glanced at the guards and followed Aktu into the cave of the holy land.

"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!"

As soon as they entered the cave of the holy land, a thick black fog blew towards them.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and looked ahead. He saw that the passage inside the cave was a little narrow, and a passage gradually extended forward.

Under the shroud of the black fog, their vision was greatly affected.

Aktu had been here a long time ago. He took a step forward and led Fang Heng deeper into the cave.

The entire winding passage was very long, more than 800 meters long.

Soon, the two of them reached the end.

About ten meters away from the end, Aktu extended his hand, signaling Fang Heng to stop.

"Fang Heng, we're here."

Fang Heng raised his head and observed the scene at the end of the cave.

The game rift!

The rift was about the size of a fist. It levitated in the air and continuously emitted a red halo.

Thick black fog seeped out of the rift intermittently.

It was indeed as Aktu had said.

In the deepest part of the cave, apart from the game rift, there was only a magic array on the ground and around the rock wall.

"Fang Heng, as you can see, there's nothing else in the depths of the holy land other than this game rift. Big Brother is preventing outsiders from entering the holy land for safety. There's really nothing else."

"Yes…"

Fang Heng observed the game rift and then looked around. He carefully examined the tiny alchemy magic array patterns attached to the ground and the rock wall. His eyes suddenly lit up and he pointed at the patterns on the wall.

Something was strange!

"Aktu, did you have these magic array patterns when you first came here?"

"This, this…"

Aktu looked carefully in the direction Fang Heng pointed at. He observed the magic array lines and tried to recall them.

"Yes, indeed. When I first came, these things didn't seem to exist. Usually, only Big Brother and Second Brother would come to the holy land. They should have found someone to settle them."

Aktu was also a little uncertain as he asked, "Could the magic array be related to the control of the black fog? Could it be to prevent the black fog from spreading?"

"Not necessarily."

Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the wall and stared at the spatial rift in front of him.

The magic arrays on the wall were still moving.

It was obvious that the magic arrays were connected to the ritual that was being held by the Mundt Gang outside.

Perhaps it was due to the ritual and the magic arrays, the black fog was slowly seeping out from the game rift.

According to Fana, most of the rifts in the game were connected to another game world.

So the game world behind this rift was an advanced game world related to the demonic seed?

Perhaps he could think of a way to enter that world.

Fang Heng carefully observed the structure of the alchemy magic arrays under the game rift and suddenly realized something even weirder.

Strange!

The magic arrays outside the game rift were actually shrouded in a dark golden light.

The Holy Light?

A special seal?

Was it a seal left behind by the Holy Court?

When did this happen?

Fang Heng's curiosity was piqued, and he subconsciously wanted to go closer to observe.

Aktu saw Fang Heng walking closer and closer to the game rift. He quickly extended and held his shoulder, reminding him softly, "Fang Heng, it's too dangerous. Don't get too close. The spatial rift will sometimes send out waves. It'll be troublesome if you get involved in it."

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Fang Heng continued to walk forward and stopped three meters away from the game rift, staring at the Holy Light outside the game rift.

The seal was actually stacked up in layers, with more than a dozen layers being added!

One of them was a holy seal, and the strength of the seal was extremely high.

There were several layers of other seals wrapped around the holy seal.

It was very strange.

He needed to check closely.

As Fang Heng pondered, a magic array appeared in his right eye.

The omniscient eye!

[Hint: The player is using the omniscient eye to examine the alchemy magic array…]

Huh?

After using the omniscient eye for a few seconds, Fang Heng suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The black circular game rift in front of him suddenly emitted intense fluctuations from the center.

Aktu also detected the changes in the rift and his expression changed. He withdrew and shouted, "Brother Fang Heng! Be careful! Retreat quickly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dense black fog exploded from the rift and spread very quickly!

Fang Heng did not have time to dodge. In the blink of an eye, he was enveloped by the dense fog that exploded in front of him!

The black fog that gushed out of the game rift was completely different from the black fog in the outside world. It was extremely invasive. When it covered his body, it instantly invaded his body from the outside and followed his body to the origin of his sea of consciousness!

What the hell!

Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

He did not expect the black fog to become so bizarre!

After the black fog invaded his body, it broke through the origin of his sea of consciousness in just a few seconds!

However, in the next moment, the gray fog that had been obediently entrenched in his sea of consciousness was instantly activated. It was like a hungry beast that had just woken up!

The gray fog pounced towards the intruder!

The black fog that had intruded into the sea of consciousness was like a three-year-old child, being devoured by the gray fog in minutes.

Then, the gray fog quietly settled in a corner of his sea of consciousness.

The game notification flashed on Fang Heng's retina again.

[Hint: The player has been impacted by the demonic seed's contamination effect.]

[Hint: A higher level of contamination has been detected in the player's body.]

[Hint: The player is resistant to this contamination.]

Pollution!

It was indeed pollution!

Fang Heng's heart raced when he saw the game notification. He was immediately convinced of his previous judgment!

It was one of the Seven Deadly Sins!

Now, he was certain!

The other end of the game rift was connected to the world of one of the Seven Deadly Sins!

1857 Multiple Seals

As for which demonic seed it was, he could not be sure for the time being.

He was very familiar with the strength of Jealousy and he was sure that it wasn't her. It was also not the Wrath that he had perceived before.

The power fluctuations were also different from the demonic seed in his body.

So it would be…

Something's not right!

Fang Heng thought about it and felt that it was strange.

If this place was related to the game world of the Seven Deadly Sins and was extremely dangerous, why had no one been affected by the Seven Deadly Sins' pollution when the Federation discovered this place more than ten years ago?

One had to know that the Seven Deadly Sins' pollution had a strong propagation ability and was extremely dangerous to spread in the real world. A casual post on social media could cause thousands of people to be contaminated.

The Federation had no reason to leave this place alone.

Fang Heng realized something and his expression changed. He turned his head to look at Aktu, who had been pushed back by the black fog.

Aktu had also been affected by the spreading black fog earlier. However, he looked fine on the surface and did not suffer any actual damage.

He asked as he quickly caught up, "Fang Heng, are you alright?"

"Aktu, have you not been here for a long time?"

Aktu didn't know why Fang Heng's expression suddenly became so serious. He thought about it carefully and nodded, "Yes, two years ago, when my Big Brother and I first came here, we came to the holy land once. After that, my Big Brother set a rule that no one is allowed to enter the holy land, including me."

Oh no!

Fang Heng's heart sank, and he looked at the alchemy magic array's patterns carved on the surrounding walls.

The magic array patterns flickered with a faint light under the black fog.

The ritual runes in the entire passage were operating continuously.

So that was how it was!

The black fog that had just gushed out of the game rift was gradually purified by the ritual magic arrays in the passage until it was purified into a black fog that could not pollute the place. Finally, it flowed out of the holy land.

Fang Heng finally understood everything.

When Meng Ruhui first entered the cave in the holy land, the black fog that seeped out of the game rift did not have the power to contaminate anything.

Meng Ruhui had modified the game rift. This was also the reason why the black fog had changed.

Meng Ruhui's strict defense of the Holy Court was not only to hide the secret of the demonic seed but also to prevent the demonic pollution from spreading!

Aktu had not been polluted by the demonic seed previously, which was why Meng Ruhui had not allowed Aktu to enter the holy land.

Unfortunately, after experiencing the impact of the black fog just now…

Fang Heng looked at Aktu and asked, "Aktu, feel your sea of consciousness. Can you feel something inside?"

"Huh?"

Aktu was stunned.

He was indeed affected by the black fog just now. He felt as if something was trying to invade his body.

However, Aktu's perception attribute was not strong. It dawned on him that this strange feeling only lasted for a moment before disappearing, so he did not take it to heart.

Hearing Fang Heng's reminder, Aktu's heart skipped a beat. He quickly sat down on the spot and focused on checking his sea of consciousness.

His consciousness quickly entered his sea of consciousness.

Aktu's expression changed slightly.

Just as Fang Heng had said, he soon realized that there was a grey mist in his sea of consciousness.

A thin layer of fog lingered in his sea of consciousness.

Aktu immediately opened his eyes and looked at Fang Heng. He said, "I felt the fog in my sea of consciousness. What was that?"

"It's a demonic seed."

"Demonic seed? What is the demonic seed?"

Aktu had never heard of the demonic seed. He looked at Fang Heng with a puzzled expression, waiting for an explanation.

"I'm sorry, Aktu. I'm afraid that your Big Brother and Second Brother didn't allow you to enter the holy land for another reason. Forcing you to come here was my fault."

Fang Heng shook his head and sighed guiltily. He quickly explained the situation regarding the demonic seed.

Aktu fell silent for a moment after hearing that.

No wonder he felt that his brothers were hiding something from him ever since he returned from his mission two years ago.

It was no wonder that his control over the black mist was far inferior to his Big Brother and Second Brother.

However, he had always trusted his Big Brother and Second Brother and had never taken them to heart.

At this point, all the doubts from before had been answered.

"It's fine, Brother Fang Heng. This is my own choice. It has nothing to do with you."

Aktu wasn't afraid of the demonic seed. He was more concerned about his Big Brother and Second Brother's current situation.

"What about now? Fang Heng, what should we do now? You've already seen the game rift and know that the black mist is related to the demonic seed. Do you have a way to save Big Brother?"

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded and looked at the game rift again. The magic array in his right pupil spun rapidly.

"If I had come here earlier, I could've modified the magic arrays on the rock walls to increase the conversion efficiency of some of the magic arrays and increase the efficiency of the black fog's overflow. However, this modification is extremely dangerous and will take at least ten hours. It's definitely too late now."

"Then, then what should we do?"

"Time is too tight. I can only think of one way."

Aktu asked anxiously, "What is it?"

Fang Heng was still staring at the game rift. Blood kept seeping out of his right eye.

"There are more than ten alchemy magic arrays outside the game rift. Based on my judgment, the deepest ones are the sealing magic arrays. The traces are very deep. They should have been left behind by the Federation and the Holy Court to seal the game rift more than ten years ago. Among them, the seal of the holy system is the strongest."

"There were several new seals after that. Someone must have added them later. The person who added the seals shouldn't be your brother. He was very powerful and directly opened a very small rift in the holy seal. It was equivalent to opening a small passage. However, the rift was quickly sealed again. Nothing seems to have changed."

"The last few layers of seals should have been left behind by your brother. He started from the small rifts that he had broken earlier, allowing the black mist to seep out intermittently in a controlled manner. It was released after being cleansed…"

Aktu listened to Fang Heng beating around the bush and abruptly felt a headache. He could not be bothered to fully understand and asked, "Brother Fang Heng, just tell me what to do! What can I do to save my brothers? If you want, I'll do it immediately!"

"If we can destroy all the seals… At that time, a large amount of black mist will seep out, and the efficiency of the external purification ritual will not be able to keep up."

Aktu's pupils contracted and his heart started beating faster.

"At that time, the black mist with the pollution effect will dissipate."

"Fang Heng, are you saying that we will perish together? If the Federation wants our lives, we'll poison them, right?"

"No, no."

Fang Heng shook his head and said, "The seal is very strong. Considering our current abilities, we won't be able to break the seal in a short time. Moreover, the pollution effect is very strong. Once it is leaked, the members of the Mundt Gang will be the first victims of the contamination. Worse still, many innocent people will also be affected by the contamination."

1858 Shattered

In the game world, Fang Heng did not feel guilty about doing bad things, but in the real world, he was not willing to do so.

"Then what should we do?"

"The Federation doesn't know our bargaining chip. In their eyes, we are all a bunch of lunatics. Therefore, we can use this to negotiate with the Federation."

Fang Heng put away the omniscient eye. The wounds on his eyes healed quickly.

"Negotiate?"

"Yes, I'll use the black fog in the game rift as a threat."

Fang Heng said in a deep voice, "Get a trustworthy person to negotiate with the Federation. Tell the Federation about the existence of the game rift related to the demonic seed."

"Tell them that we can either directly break the game rift and release the demonic seed pollution, and everyone will die together, or we can let them release your Big Brother and Second Brother first. In short, we need to stall for time. I need to further analyze the game rift and think of a way to increase the release speed of the black fog."

Aktu's eyes lit up when he heard that.

That's right!

The Federation did not know the true situation of the game rift.

This way, he could save Big Brother and Second Brother, even if it was to stall for time!

"Brother Fang Heng, can you do it?"

"I'm not sure, but we can at least try to buy us some time."

Aktu could not help but clench his fists again and said, "Alright! I got it, I'll get someone to do it immediately!"

Aktu replied and immediately returned to the outside of the cave to make arrangements.

Fang Heng remained where he was, staring at the game rift in front of him and muttering to himself.

"Xia Xi…"

He used the omniscient eye to analyze the situation for three minutes before he could see the general situation of all the seals outside the game rift.

He was very sure that the person who had broken more than ten Federation seals was undoubtedly Xia Xi!

At the deepest level, the Federation had once sealed the game rift with a total of twelve layers.

However, Xia Xi was able to directly open a tiny rift in the twelve seals, causing the black fog to flow out at an extremely slow speed. Every once in a while, an extremely weak portion would flow out.

What terrifying strength!

To do that, she had to have at least a master-level understanding of alchemy magic arrays.

Fang Heng even wondered if Xia Xi had something to do with Meng Ruhui bringing the people of the Mundt Gang here two years ago.

He would not think about this first.

Fang Heng pulled his attention back to the multi-layered magic seal in front of him. He felt that Meng Ruhui might not want the contamination to leak out, just like him. Therefore, many defensive seals were added to the outermost layer of the magic array.

While providing defense, it would also weaken the effect of the fog.

The fastest way to increase the efficiency of the black fog was to remove the seal on the outermost layer of the alchemy array!

It allowed the fog to flow out of the rift to the maximum!

Fang Heng focused his attention on the layers of magic arrays, and he soon had an idea.

After three groups of people had been continuously stacking seals on the game rift for more than ten years, the entire seal had become extremely complicated. Even if he wanted to break it, it would not be that easy.

Under normal circumstances, there were many ways to break a seal. The most convenient way was to break it with brute force.

However, the enclosures were stacked layer upon layer, and it was extremely easy for the various seals to interact with each other.

Using force was the most difficult method.

He would take this one step at a time!

Fang Heng took a deep breath and focused his attention on breaking the seals from the outside to the inside.

Only Fang Heng had the omniscient eye's assistance, which allowed him to judge the specific situation of each seal and make targeted adjustments to break it.

Eh?

After observing for a while, Fang Heng was about to make a move when he suddenly noticed something. His gaze focused on an auxiliary magic array.

"Fang Heng, how's the situation?"

In a short ten minutes, Aktu had already made a quick run and arranged for a trustworthy subordinate to negotiate with the Federation.

He was worried about the situation in the game rift in the holy land, so he rushed back as soon as possible.

Aktu returned to see Fang Heng standing in front of the seal, hesitating. He could not help but ask, "Is there trouble?"

"Yes, I found something strange."

The function of this magic array was…

It was a small magic array that had been added in the later stages, and it was attached to the magic array.

It seemed to connect the ritual magic array on the wall outside the game rift.

Even the omniscient eye couldn't capture the true effects of the magic array.

Is it a protective device?

Fang Heng tried to reach out and touch the magic array, wondering if he could obtain more information through his awareness and mental power.

"Tsk!"

The moment his finger touched the magic array, Fang Heng raised his eyebrows. The auxiliary magic array was triggered and began to spin uncontrollably!

Not good!

Immediately after, the alchemy magic attached to the walls in the cave was triggered. It quickly circulated and emitted a dazzling blue light!

Even the entire cave began to shake uncontrollably.

His feet trembled violently.

Gravel kept falling from above.

Aktu also sensed that something was wrong and carefully retreated to the side, "Brother Fang Heng, what's the situation?"

He was in big trouble!

Fang Heng finally understood.

It was not a protective device, but a trap!

Once someone entered the holy land and accidentally triggered the seal, the entire cave would be affected by the destructive device. The ritual magic array would automatically accelerate and self-destruct, and the entire cave would collapse!

"Aktu, don't leave my side!"

Fang Heng shouted as a light blue scroll appeared in his hand.

Secret technique-Barrier.

After releasing his mental strength, he merged it into the spell scroll in his hand.

A pale white barrier instantly surrounded the two of them.

"Boom!!!"

This was accompanied by a violent explosion.

The entire magic array passage collapsed.

…

At the same time, in the outside world of the Mundt Gang's encampment, as the intense fight went on, the Holy Light that overflowed from the pillar of light gradually stabilized.

The Federation's military minister, Zhou Chen, finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo's sudden counterattack was indeed beyond his expectations. He almost let them succeed.

Fortunately, the oracle from the Holy Court, Autolia, arrived one step ahead of time. At the critical moment, she activated the Holy Light pillar to release a hundredfold and successfully defeated the Mundt Gang. Two leaders of the Mundt Gang also fainted from the shock and were temporarily taken away by their subordinates to be strictly guarded.

"Oracle, thank you and the Holy Court for your help. Otherwise, I'm afraid the Mundt Gang would have won."

"Of course. The Holy Court and the Federation have always been working closely together. You're welcome."

After a fierce battle, Oracle Autolia looked tired.

"I was there when the game rift in the City of Darkness was sealed. When I heard that there was a new problem with the seal, I also found it strange, so I rushed over immediately. Fortunately, I made it in time."

1859 Destructive Calamity

Zhou Chen nodded.

The two leaders of the Mundt Gang had been captured, and most of the black fog in the base had been eliminated in the fierce battle just now.

According to the players from the City of Darkness who have surrendered, Aktu was the only deputy leader left in the Mundt Gang.

It's hard to support him alone.

It was time to launch the final attack and settle this once and for all.

"Now that we have captured the leader of the Mundt Gang, the morale of the Mundt Gang has collapsed. Let's kill the remaining forces in the Mundt Gang in one go."

"Commander Zhou."

Oracle Autolia was still a little uneasy. She tried to persuade them, "We don't need to be afraid of the Mundt Gang. However, the black fog in their base aura is very strange. We can't take the game rift lightly. For safety reasons, I suggest you give me an hour to reinforce the magic seal around the base to prevent any accidents."

After the previous few exchanges, Zhou Chen was also very afraid of the black fog at the base of the Mundt Gang. He thought about it and nodded immediately.

"The Oracle is really thoughtful. Alright, do just as she said."

The Federation military immediately began to work together with the Holy Court to set up a periphery magic array to strengthen the outer perimeter of the base.

A few minutes after the preparations were made, a federal soldier hurried over and whispered something to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen frowned when he heard this, and his expression became a little strange.

Kleinman looked at Zhou Chen and asked, "Commander Zhou, did something happen?"

Zhou Chen pretended to be relaxed and smiled. He replied, "It's the people from the Mundt Gang. They probably know that Meng Ruhui is under our control and have come to negotiate with us."

Negotiate?

In the temporary camp, everyone couldn't help but feel strange.

Now that even the leader of the Mundt Gang had been captured, they had been reduced to meat on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered. What capital did they have to negotiate with them?

Zhou Chen had the same thought. He nodded and said, "Bring them up. Let's hear what they have to say."

Soon, a member of the Mundt Gang was brought up under the custody of the Federation.

Zhou Chen looked down at the newcomer and said disdainfully, "There's no one left in the Mundt Gang. You sent a nobody to pass on the message. You can say whatever you want."

When the members of the Mundt Gang arrived, they were already prepared to die. They raised their heads and said, "I am here to negotiate with you on behalf of the Mundt Gang. My request is simple. Release our people immediately. All of them!"

Zhou Chen looked at him with interest and asked, "What else?"

"Otherwise, we'll release the black fog that is trapped in the holy land of the Mundt Gang!"

Heh, just based on the remaining black fog aura in the base?

Zhou Chen lost his interest in listening. He waved his hand and gestured for his subordinates to leave.

"Wait! Leader told me to relay two words to you, 'demonic seed'."

Hearing this, Zhou Chen and the other Federation players did not understand what it was, but the expressions of the people from the Holy Court changed slightly.

"What did you say?!"

The Archbishop of the Holy Court could not help but interrupt. He blocked the two soldiers and questioned, "What did Aktu say?!"

Seeing how anxious the people of the Holy Court were, the gang members became even more emboldened. They threatened, "The deputy gang leader said that we all have rotten lives. If we die, so be it. If you still don't let us go, we'll release the demonic seed pollution source. At that time, everyone will fight to the death! Let's bring more people along with us!"

The expressions of the people from the Holy Court became even uglier when they heard this.

Zhou Chen noticed the change in the expressions of the people from the Holy Court. He could not help but turn to look at the Archbishop of the Holy Court and ask, "Archbishop, what is a demonic seed?"

"It's related to the advanced hidden game world. Pollution has a very strong infectious ability and will have a disastrous effect on ordinary people. If it's really as they said, there's a demonic pollution aura inside the Mundt Gang. Once the aura spreads, the pollution will spread among players and it will be very troublesome."

Zhou Chen frowned and raised his hand to signal to the soldier beside him.

"Let me go!"

"Let our Leader go! Otherwise, all of you will regret it!"

The soldiers dragged the screaming members of the Mundt Gang away.

Zhou Chen had never heard of any information related to demonic seed pollution before. He could not help but ask, "May I ask what level of disaster the demonic seed pollution is?"

The Archbishop nodded and said, "Yes. It's the highest 3S level, the destructive level."

The expressions of the people from the Federation changed when they heard this.

Destructive level.

It was equivalent to the level of world destruction.

If they were not careful, the entire world would be destroyed.

Kleinman hesitated for a moment before asking, "Everyone, are we still uncertain if the Mundt Gang can release the demonic seed? Could the Mundt Gang be lying to us?"

A federal officer immediately echoed, "Indeed, the term 'demonic seed pollution' came out of nowhere. There has never been any evidence that the black fog released by the game rift is related to the demonic seed pollution."

"That makes sense. The demonic seed and the pollution are most likely strategies that the Mundt Gang is using to delay for time! They're bluffing us!"

"The more they want to stall for time, the faster we have to be! I suggest we act immediately and catch them off guard!"

Most of the officers in the military department had the same opinion. None of them had ever heard of the demonic seed contamination and they thought that the Mundt Gang was just putting on an act.

As for the Holy Court…

The people of the Holy Court were often putting up an act.

Who knew if it was true or false?!

Zhou Chen pressed his hand down and stopped everyone's discussion. He looked at Oracle Autolia.

"Oracle Autolia, what do you think?"

Oracle Autolia had not participated in the discussion and had not said a word. She frowned and looked into the depths of the base of the Mundt Gang. She spoke in a deep voice, "I am not sure if what they said is true or not. However, the dark fog's transformation is indeed similar to the pollution. We cannot completely rule out this possibility."

"What about the past?" one of the officers asked, "The last time you came here, you also participated in the sealing of the mystical array. At that time, did you feel any traces of the demonic seed contamination?"

"I can confirm that more than ten years ago, there was no demonic seed pollution here at all."

Autolia said, "If there are any changes, it must have happened in the past ten years."

Kleinman was silent.

Originally, they were only here to chase after the fleeing demi-humans.

First, they encountered the City of Darkness, then the Mundt Gang, then the dark fog, and now the demonic seed pollution.

Ever since Fang Heng appeared, things had become more and more uncontrollable. He had an extremely strange feeling in his heart. It seemed that all of this was inextricably linked to Fang Heng!

Zhou Chen was a little hesitant when he heard the Holy Court's analysis. The data he had so far was not enough for him to make a judgment.

He needed more information.

There was no direct communication between the inside and outside of City of Darkness.

It would take a long time to obtain more data related to the demonic seed pollution from the Federation headquarters.

While he was thinking, Autolia realized that something was wrong.

Her gaze was focused on the depths of the Mundt Gang's base, and her brows were tightly knitted.

"Boom!!!"

1860 Repair

An extremely dull crash came from the inside of the Mundt Gang's base. It seemed like something had exploded inside the base of the Mundt Gang. However, due to the black fog shrouding the base of the Mundt Gang, they could not see clearly.

All they could see was a thicker black fog surging out from the depths of the Mundt Gang.

A black fog that was as thick as ink!

Its concentration had increased several times compared to before.

"The black fog has changed again."

Autolia stared at the interior of the base, and her expression became even uglier.

It was confirmed to be the demonic seed's pollution!

The demonic seed's pollution had mixed with the black fog's strength!

The concentration of pollution was not high but…

The demonic seed was of great importance, and she could not afford to be careless.

The people of the Federation also noticed the thick black fog and could not help but discuss it in private.

They did not know what the demonic seed was, but they could feel the pressure coming from the black fog.

"I'm afraid that the Mundt Gang didn't lie to us. The game rift deep inside the base is really related to the demonic seed."

Kleinman asked, "Oracle, how should we deal with this situation?"

"The black fog is partially polluted. The consequences of being contaminated are extremely serious. For safety reasons, have your men retreat. The Holy Light has some resistance against the black fog. Our people will strengthen and expand the holy magic array outside to temporarily stop the spread of the black fog. We'll make plans later."

Autolia quickly made a decision.

The people of the Mundt Gang were extremely cruel.

The black fog was an indiscriminate attack. This meant that all the members of the Mundt Gang would be polluted by the demonic seed!

The first thing to do now was to prevent the spread of pollution.

Next, she would try to solve the problem as quickly as possible!

Zhou Chen realized the seriousness of the matter and gave the order, "Discovered a suspected 3S-level disaster. Immediately report to the higher-ups of the Federation and request for follow-up. Obtain information related to the demonic seed and increase the danger level. We need the special event handling team to come here…"

…

Inside the cave, the pale white crystal barrier dissipated. The two of them were trapped in a small space by the falling boulders. The exit that led to the outside of the cave had been completely blocked.

"Brother Fang Heng, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. How about you?"

Fang Heng said as he pushed aside a huge rock in front of him.

Aktu looked around at the small area they were in with lingering fear and said, "I'm fine too. What happened just now? Why did it suddenly collapse?"

"The magic array set outside the alchemy magic array has been activated. I think it's most likely a trap set by your brother."

As Fang Heng spoke, he looked up at the game rift that was buried by more than ten falling stones.

The contaminated black fog was slowly seeping out from the cracks in the rocks.

"The trap is connected to the ritual magic array in the cave. Once the trap is triggered, it will automatically detonate the black fog evolution ritual in the entire cave, destroying the cave along with it."

"Ah, this…" Aktu opened his mouth and immediately realized the danger, "So… Did that mean that the pollution had already been leaked? We can't control the spread of the pollution anymore?"

"Yes."

Fang Heng sighed and shrugged, "The pollution has already spread. We cannot use this to threaten the Federation already. We're in big trouble."

Initially, he only wanted to threaten the Federation using the black fog to stall for time and find a way to escape. He did not expect that he would trigger the trap and the pollution would spread completely.

"Then, then this…"

Aktu was lost for a moment, completely lost. He asked, "Brother Fang Heng, what should we do now?"

"Don't be anxious. Only part of the pollution is spreading due to the aftershock. The passage leading to the outside has been blocked by the collapsed rocks. The speed at which the pollution is spreading is not fast."

"Also, once the pollution spreads out, the people of the Federation outside will probably realize that we have the ability to spread the pollution. They will probably choose to be more cautious and this will buy us more time."

Aktu nodded, but he was still a little worried and asked, "Brother Fang Heng, will the gang members outside be affected by the pollution as well?"

"Ehm… I'm not sure. Based on the current situation, the concentration of pollution is not high, and the pollution that leaks out is relatively limited. When it spreads to the outside world, it will be diluted again. Whether they will be affected by the pollution in the end will depend on their luck."

Fang Heng raised his head and said, "There's no time to think about this. Aktu, we don't have much time left. Just relying on these collapsed rocks won't be able to keep the pollution aura from leaking out."

"Then what should we do now?"

Aktu's expression turned bitter. Now that the passage to the outside world was completely blocked, they were trapped here and could not move.

Naturally, the subordinates of the Mundt Gang outside would help them clear the passage as soon as possible.

However, staying here was useless.

If he dug a passage out, it might even accelerate the spread of the pollution.

Fang Heng had already made up his mind. He stood up and walked to the area in front of the game rift that was covered by falling rocks.

"I'll try to repair the external magic array first. Perhaps I can regain control of the game rift."

Aktu asked in surprise, "Can you really do it?"

"Okay, let's give it a try first."

Fang Heng felt immense pressure.

With his current ability, creating one or two more layers of seals outside the game rift could delay the overflow of the pollution for a moment.

Unfortunately, the effect would not be very good.

The only solution was…

He still had to rely on the seal left behind outside the game rift. He could use one of the holy seals. The holy seal was undoubtedly the strongest seal outside the game rift.

After Xia Xi forcefully broke open a rift, there was a gap in the holy seal. Later on, Meng Ruhui set up five additional layers of seals outside the gap to control the frequency of pollution and the leakage of the black fog aura.

If he wanted to completely solve the problem, he had to first remove the five seals on the outer layer of the holy seal, and then think of a way to repair the holy seal!

Let's try it first!

He was the one who caused all the trouble, so he had to quickly think of a way to make up for it.

In the worst-case scenario, if the pollution really spread, he would become a sinner who would destroy the world.

"Let's begin."

Fang Heng said as he picked up a huge rock from the ground with both hands and moved it to the other side.

"Alright, I'll help."

Soon, the two of them worked together to clean up the large area of falling rocks around the game rift.

Fang Heng stood at the edge of the game rift and stared at the sealing magic array. The reflection of the magic array in his pupils spun rapidly!

…

Half an hour later, with the help of the omniscient eye, Heng destroyed five magic arrays in a row.

After using the omniscient eye continuously at high intensity, his right eye's vision was already a little blurry.

He had no choice however to stop and rest for a moment.

"Brother Fang Heng, is the situation getting better? Is there anything I can help with?"

Aktu can not help either and could only turn around anxiously at this side.

He can see that this contaminated dark mist was getting thicker and thicker as it seeped out of the game rift.

It seemed that this situation did not improve at all. Instead, it felt like it was getting worse.

1861 Rodent

"Yes, clearing the seal in the outside world is quite troublesome. The next step is to repair the seal. I hope it can be done. I've consumed a lot of energy and need to rest."

Fang Heng gave a rough explanation and rested for a moment. He then braced himself and went forward to examine the holy seal magic array left on the outermost layer.

The omniscient eye spun at full speed!

Fang Heng observed the holy seal magic array. It was different from before.

All the magic arrays that had been added on the outside were removed, and the holy element magic array was displayed more clearly in front of Fang Heng.

If he tried to repair it…

Fang Heng pondered.

Not yet, he still needed more information.

Fang Heng reached out and touched the magic array, preparing to use his perception to carry out the next test.

Eh?!

What was going on?

As soon as his finger touched the alchemy magic array, the entire magic array seemed to be triggered.

Ripples?

The game rift would occasionally send out waves, but this time, it seemed to be different.

What's wrong?

The entire magic array was operating at full speed!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

"Fang Heng!"

Aktu saw that the situation was different and reached out to grab Fang Heng's shoulders, wanting to pull him back.

"Swoosh!!!"

In the next moment, a thick black fog burst out from the fist-sized game rift!

"Boom!!!"

The fog instantly dispersed!

Fang Heng stared at the center of the fog!

He felt an extremely familiar power seeping out of the game rift.

The black fog condensed into a huge palm almost at the moment it opened, grabbing Fang Heng firmly in the palm!

"Tsk!!!"

In the following moment, Fang Heng's figure was instantly pulled into the game rift by the black palm!

"Fang Heng!!!"

A huge pulling force came from Aktu's hand, forcefully pulling Fang Heng away from the huge palm that was dragging him into the game rift!

When he saw this scene, he was shocked. He stared at the rift in front of him, his eyes flashing with disbelief.

What should he do?

Swoosh!!!

In the next second, the game rift in front of him fluctuated again!

The black fog once again seeped out and formed a huge palm that grabbed towards Aktu. It wrapped around Aktu and dragged him into the game rift!

…

[Hint: The player has entered an unknown game world…]

[Hint: The player has entered an unidentified game world.]

[Hint: Current unknown world danger rating-High.]

[Hint: This world is a specially opened seal world with a special entry method. In the current state, the player cannot go offline.]

[Hint: In the current environment, all spatial-type items are ineffective.]

[Hint: All long-distance communications are ineffective in the current environment.]

The game notifications flashed past Fang Heng's retina, and his eyes were filled with black fog.

This was…

On the other side of the game rift!

Fang Heng quickly regained consciousness and realized that he was falling!

Whoosh!

Fang Heng quickly transformed into his bat form and adjusted his body in the air. At the same time, he quickly observed his surroundings.

He had been dragged into the game world by the black fog that had suddenly exploded!

There was no mistake.

From the game prompt, this was undoubtedly a game world. His perception told him that this game world wasn't big. It was similar to a special space created by spatial abilities.

Eh?

What the hell was that?

His vision was blocked by a black fog, and he could only see about three meters away. However, the blood perception provided by the vampire bloodline made Fang Heng realize that there was something below.

The lifeblood strength of it was very strong!

Swoosh!!!

It's here!

In the darkness, a tiny figure suddenly flashed out from the black fog in front of him!

What the hell was that?

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and immediately flapped his wings to fly to the right, narrowly avoiding this attack.

"Pa ta, pa ta…"

A series of pliable thuds rang out as it hit the wall.

It was a black shadow bouncing between the walls.

Judging from this, the other party should not have the ability to fly!

Moreover, it was not big.

Fang Heng maintained his flying posture in the air while observing the creatures in the fog.

After a few attempts, it stopped and landed in a corner below.

What exactly was it?

Fang Heng did not dare to move. He was floating in the air, ready to observe again. Suddenly, a dark light burst out from the game rift above.

"Ah!!"

There was a loud shout.

Aktu was dragged into the game space by the black fog. He screamed in panic as he fell from the sky.

"Oh no!"

Swoosh!!

Aktu did not have any flying skills!

He realized that he was falling at a rapid speed. He stumbled and tried to control his body to maintain balance and find a way to slow down.

However, previously he could come to his senses, he suddenly saw a black shadow flash past in front of him.

Swoosh!!!

"Bang!"

Aktu felt as if he had been hit by something, and his body was sent flying, slamming into the wall with a loud thud!

"Aktu, be careful!"

Seeing this, Fang Heng flew down to save him.

The black shadow was obviously more interested in Fang Heng. It immediately changed its target and flew towards Fang Heng.

Fang Heng reverted to his human form in mid-air and gathered his hands in front of him.

Chi, chi chi…

The surrounding black fog condensed into a huge fist under the control of his spirit power, and he swung it in the direction of the black shadow!

The fist shadow completely enveloped the area in front of him!

"Bang!!!"

The black figure rushed forward and directly broke through the layer of the fist shadow!

The black fog exploded!

"Swoosh, swoosh swoosh!!"

The black shadow's speed did not decrease at all. It dashed in front of Fang Heng, curled its body into a meatball again, and crashed toward Fang Heng.

Seeing that they were about to collide, Fang Heng's figure disappeared into space first.

"Whoosh!"

The black shadow's speed did not change. It passed through Fang Heng's shadow and slammed into the rock wall behind him.

"Boom!!!"

A huge dent was created in the rock wall!

The flying squirrel grabbed onto the rock wall and turned its head to look around. A hint of confusion appeared in its eyes.

Fang Heng hid in the secondary space projection and observed the state of the black shadow in the real world.

His body was shrouded in a black fog, and a pair of black and shining eyes could be vaguely seen.

Like some kind of rodent?

"Boom!"

Not far away, Aktu was stunned by the previous attack and fell to the ground. His body seemed to have broken apart and he temporarily lost the ability to move.

Seeing that the flying squirrel seemed to be interested in pursuing Aktu, Fang Heng stepped out from the secondary space projection.

"Try this move!"

Fang Heng raised his hand.

A dark golden light instantly bloomed in front of him.

The light lit a small area around them!

Book of Oaths!

"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!!!"

The holy remnant chapter flew out of the Book of Oaths and immediately dispersed most of the black fog surrounding it!

It was only then that Fang Heng saw the exact appearance of the black shadow!

A squirrel?!

Its fur was dark brown. Its pitch-black eyes were unusually lively.

Its tail was downy and pliable like a squirrel.

1862 Mission Option

"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!"

The holy remnant chapter cleansed the surrounding black fog and immediately attacked the squirrel!

The squirrel realized the terrifying strength contained in the holy remnant chapter and immediately jumped to the side!

The automatic pursuit effect of the holy remnant chapter was activated, and it automatically chased after the squirrel from all directions!

However, the squirrel's agility was extremely high. It jumped back and forth within the narrow area!

"Bang! Bang Bang!!!"

The holy remnant chapter's flying speed was unable to catch up to the squirrel's superb dodging ability. It continuously struck the wall, creating deep pits in the rock wall!

Eh?

The range of its dodging area seemed to have a limit.

Fang Heng carefully observed the flying squirrel. He narrowed his eyes and focused on the squirrel's ankle.

Upon closer inspection, the dark red shackles were binding the flying squirrel's ankle joints, directly affecting its range of activity!

Under the influence of the shackles, the squirrel was quickly chased to a dead end by the holy remnant chapter that attacked it from all directions.

"Aktu! Come to me quickly!"

Aktu had also recovered from his paralyzed state. He immediately ran towards Fang Heng's location.

The flying squirrel saw that it was about to be caught up by the holy remnant chapter, so it immediately became anxious. It suddenly jumped up and fled into the air.

Faced with the holy remnant chapter that was flying at it from below, the flying squirrel's cheeks inflated rapidly and it stopped in midair.

"Phew!!!"

Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

Black fog!

A dense black fog was spat out from the flying squirrel's mouth!

It could actually control the black fog!

Or was it releasing the black fog?

"Boom!!!"

The thick black fog engulfed the Book of Oath's remnant chapter!

"Chi chi chi!!"

The holy remnant chapter immediately let out a loud sizzling sound, and the light covering the remnant chapter quickly disappeared.

The energy value in the Book of Oatha was also rapidly decreasing!

However, the holy remnant chapter was a holy artifact, so it could still hold on for a short time. It quickly broke through the black fog and continued flying toward the flying squirrel.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!!!"

The first holy remnant chapter was the first to hit the flying squirrel. In an instant, a thick black fog burst out from the surface of the flying squirrel's body!

The squirrel didn't seem to have suffered much damage. It had only been hit heavily, and its body flew backward uncontrollably.

"Pa!"

The squirrel's body crashed into the wall and landed on the ground. It had an adorable expression on its face as though it had discovered something strange and was puzzled.

Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!"

Following that, the holy remnant chapters chased after the squirrel one after another!

Upon seeing this, the confusion on the squirrel's face quickly faded, turning into excitement. It pounced straight at the dark golden holy remnant chapters!

"Bang! Bang Bang!!!"

The holy remnant chapters continuously collided with the squirrel's body, causing the black fog to explode.

The squirrel was continuously sent flying. It didn't suffer much damage, but it seemed to be enjoying it as it kept ramming into the incoming holy remnant chapters.

While the squirrel was entangled with the holy remnant chapters, Aktu hurriedly ran towards Fang Heng.

What was going on?

Aktu heaved a sigh of relief when he was out of danger. When he turned around, he saw the squirrel constantly getting attacked by the holy remnant chapters. He was filled with questions and asked softly, "Brother Fang Heng, what's going on?"

Fang Heng shook his head. He also found it strange.

Seeing that the energy in the Book of Oaths had decreased significantly, he quickly put it away.

"Pa Ta."

Realizing that the attack of the holy remnant chapters had stopped, the squirrel landed agilely from midair. It tilted its head and looked at Fang Heng with a curious expression.

Fang Heng and Aktu looked at the squirrel cautiously.

The two of them stood slightly further away from the squirrel.

"What is it?"

"I don't know. Look at the shackles on its ankles. It looks like it's trapped." As Fang Heng spoke, he looked around at the space that looked like a cave and tried to analyze it, "It's very strange. This should be the source of the black fog aura, but we can't see where it's coming from."

Hearing Fang Heng's words, Aktu also noticed it. He watched surprised and asked, "That's right. Don't tell me…"

Fang Heng stared at the squirrel before him with a grave look in his eyes and said, "Yes, from the few exchanges just now, it's very likely that the source of the black fog is this fellow."

Aktu swallowed his saliva carefully.

There were still many things that they could not understand.

What kind of monster was this squirrel?

What were the dark red shackles on its legs? Who set it up?

At least for now, it looked like the squirrel's area of mobility was restricted by the red chain. They were still safe for now.

The squirrel didn't continue attacking. It only sized up Fang Heng and his companion, its eyes filled with curiosity.

It seemed to have understood that the aura coming from the person was similar to it.

Aktu observed the squirrel's state and whispered, "It doesn't seem to be that hostile towards us?"

"Squeak! Squeak squeak!"

The squirrel was stunned for a moment before it took a several steps forward. It wanted to get closer but was held rear by the chains. Feeling helpless, it could only shout at Fang Heng and Aktu.

Suddenly, a game prompt appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has triggered an alternative mission-The imprisoned phantom shadow rat.]

Mission title: The imprisoned phantom shadow rat.

Mission difficulty: SSS.

Mission description: You have discovered a rift passage that leads to a special game world. After entering the passage, you discover a phantom shadow rat that has been imprisoned by a special strength.

Mission option 1: Assist the phantom shadow rat in removing the bind on it.

Mission option 2: Try to defeat the phantom shadow rat.

Aktu had also received the game notification. He could not help but turn to look at Fang Heng beside him.

SSS difficulty level!

The highest-difficulty mission in the game!

This was the first time he had come into contact with it since he entered the game.

This kind of difficult mission had always been regarded as impossible by the players. The probability of success was too small, close to zero.

"Fang Heng, be careful. Look at the game prompt. This guy is definitely a commander-level creature."

"Okay, retreat a little and cover me."

The phantom shadow rat did not have much hatred for them, and the game notification also gave them a plan to complete it.

Perhaps there was no need to confront the phantom shadow rat head-on.

As Fang Heng thought about it, he carefully approached the phantom shadow rat.

Upon closer inspection, one could see that the phantom shadow rat's body was densely covered with web-like patterns. Veins spread out from the dark red shackles on the phantom shadow rat's ankles.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak…"

When the phantom shadow rat observed Fang Heng walking over slowly, it let out a several urgent cries at Fang Heng.

It sounded like it was urging him

Fang Heng observed the patterns on the phantom shadow rat's body and its previous series of actions, deep in thought.

He stopped and tried to open his hands again.

"Buzz."

The Book of Oaths floated in his palm.

"You want this?"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

When the phantom shadow rat observed Fang Heng take out the Book of Oaths again, its pitch-black eyes were filled with anticipation, and it kept squeaking.

1863 Bind

"So that's how it is…"

Fang Heng had some guesses in his heart and once again activated the Book of Oaths!

"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!"

The holy remnant chapter once again attacked the phantom shadow rat!

The phantom shadow rat's eyes revealed a human-like excitement. It turned into a black shadow and crashed into the holy remnant chapter!

"Bang! Bang Bang !!!"

The holy remnant chapter crashed into the phantom shadow rat, and the black fog exploded!

The phantom shadow rat was sent flying backward, but it seemed to be enjoying itself. It got up repeatedly and rushed toward the holy remnant chapter.

Fang Heng remained standing at the same spot, observing the condition of the phantom shadow rat, muttering softly, "I see…"

Aktu was a little confused as he watched from the side. Hearing Fang Heng's muttering, he couldn't help but ask, "Brother Fang Heng, what's going on?"

"Hmm, in my opinion, it should be related to the bind on the phantom shadow rat. The first time it was attacked by the holy remnant chapter, the phantom shadow rat probably realized that the bind on its body was weakening."

"Bind?"

Aktu also turned to look at the phantom shadow rat when he heard that. Only then did he realize there were red web-like patterns on the phantom shadow rat's body.

"Yes, the holy remnant chapter has the ability to purify and dispel, and it has the ability to restrain all kinds of dark-attributed powers. While attacking the phantom shadow rat, it also has an effect on the bind on its body."

Fang Heng continued to explain, "The shadow phantom rat doesn't know the principle of this. It only feels that the bind on its body has been weakened. That's why it keeps attacking the holy remnant chapter. It probably hopes that we can continue to use the holy remnant chapter to help it remove the bind on its body."

"So I see…"

Hearing Fang Heng's words, Aktu finally understood. His eyes lit up and he asked, "Brother Fang Heng, can we use the holy remnant chapter to help it undo the bind on its body?"

"I'm afraid I can't do it."

Fang Heng shook his head.

After the previous consumption, there was not much Holy Light energy left in the holy remnant chapter and it was still rapidly being consumed, and the binding strength on the phantom shadow rat was very high. After dozens of collisions, there was no obvious weakening.

Fang Heng was very clear about this.

After the holy remnant chapter hit the phantom shadow rat, most of its power was offset by the black fog that exploded from its body.

The effect on its bind was negligible.

After a while, the energy of the holy remnant chapter was exhausted, and it flew back to the Book of Oaths.

The phantom shadow rat sensed that the power in the holy remnant chapter was gradually disappearing, and it looked at Fang Heng and Aktu. It squeaked as if it was expressing its dissatisfaction.

"Hey, Fang Heng."

Aktu whispered, raising his guard.

"It's fine."

Fang Heng extended his hand, signaling Aktu not to act rashly. He then carefully approached the phantom shadow rat.

"We came with good intentions. We just want to help you undo the bind on your body. We have no ill intentions."

The phantom shadow rat seemed to understand Fang Heng's words. It obediently stayed where it was and watched as Fang Heng slowly approached it.

Until the distance between Fang Heng and the phantom shadow rat was less than half a meter, the phantom shadow rat stood up and tilted its head to look at Fang Heng.

The two of them looked at each other.

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the shackles on the phantom shadow rat's ankle.

The shackles were tightly connected to the ground.

It was an advanced stealth magic array!

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng looked at the ground, the magic array in his right eye spinning rapidly.

"Buzz…"

Under the activation of the omniscient eye, a faint magic array pattern appeared on the ground.

Eh?

Was the magic array absorbing the surrounding black fog?

Fang Heng was even more surprised.

Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!

Under the urging of Fang Heng's omniscient eye, the magic array began to spin faster.

"Squeak squeak!"

Under the influence of the magic array, the dark red shackles on the shadow phantom rat's body suddenly lit up!

The phantom shadow rat felt the pain. Layers of black fog seeped out of its body, and at the same time, it let out a threatening cry at Fang Heng.

Aktu's heart tightened when he saw this. He hurriedly shouted, "Brother Fang Heng! Be careful!"

"Yes."

Fang Heng noticed the abnormality of the phantom shadow rat and immediately stopped the operation of the omniscient eye.

[Hint: The player has discovered an unknown modified alchemy magic array.]

[Hint: This magic array is of a higher level than the player. The player can only obtain basic information.]

[Alchemy magic array (High-tier concealment type).]

Description: A specially-made high-tier magic array. It has a concealment effect and can absorb and convert energy of a fixed frequency.

Attribute: No attribute, related to occultism.

It can absorb the black fog's power to strengthen magic arrays.

Fang Heng was deep in thought.

The magic array used an extremely ingenious method to absorb the power of the black fog released by the phantom shadow rat and convert it to bind the phantom shadow rat's movements.

In theory, the stronger the phantom shadow rat was, the more intense its struggle would be, and the stronger the power of the bind would be.

The phantom shadow rat alone would never be able to break through this layer of bind.

What a genius design!

Fang Heng sighed in his heart.

The player who had designed and created this magic array had to be at least a grandmaster in occultism and alchemy.

If he wanted to completely undo the magic array…

Given enough time, coupled with the omniscient eye and a large number of zombie clones to increase the success rate, he could complete the task in two months.

But now…

The situation outside was critical, and he couldn't afford two months.

There was a more convenient way.

He activated the magic array with all his might and sent the phantom shadow rat into a near-death state.

At that time, without the support of the phantom shadow rat's power, the magic array's energy supply would be insufficient, and its defensive ability would be greatly reduced. He would then directly use external force to shatter it!

However, the damage to the phantom shadow rat was a little too great.

There was no other way. Time was tight. This was the only plan Fang Heng could think of.

Let's give it a try!

Fang Heng looked up at the phantom shadow rat and pointed at the magic array, "This thing is very strong. I can't handle it alone. I need your help."

Fang Heng tried to gesture at the phantom shadow rat.

The phantom shadow rodent was extremely intelligent and seemed to be able to understand Fang Heng's language. It probably realized that Fang Heng could help it escape. Immediately, its eyes revealed excitement and it squeaked.

It seemed that it had suffered from the bind for many years, and even in its dreams, it wanted to break free.

"And it will be very painful. It will bring you great harm, and you might even fall unconscious. You have to be prepared to endure great pain."

"Squeak squeak!"

The phantom shadow rodent called out as a reply.

"Alright, let's begin!"

Fang Heng didn't waste any time. After he finished speaking, the magic array reflection in his right orb began to spin rapidly!

Swoosh!!

The magic array was stimulated, and the dark ruby shackles released a powerful suppressive force on the apparition shade rat.

"Chi, chi chi…"

After being stimulated, a thick black fog seeped out from the apparition shade rat's body!

In almost a moment, the density of the black fog around the cave increased rapidly!

1864 Demonic Seed

"Buzz…!"

The rapidly spinning magic array absorbed the strength of the black fog that was leaking out of the phantom shadow rat's body!

The binding effect was strengthened once again!

"Squeak squeak!"

The phantom shadow rat's body was covered in red web-like patterns, and its eyes flickered with pain.

Not enough!

"Hold on a little longer!"

Fang Heng shouted as the bloody tears in his right eye flowed down his face and the alchemy magic array in his pupil was spinning at its maximum speed!

"Swoosh, swoosh swoosh…!!"

A large amount of dense fog seeped out from the phantom shadow rat's body. It was in great pain and kept rolling on the ground!

Aktu was at the back. The black fog in front of him was rapidly seeping out, completely blocking his vision! Fang Heng and the phantom shadow rat could not be seen clearly.

"Fang Heng!"

Aktu shouted into the black fog, but there was no response. All he could hear was the painful squeaking of the phantom shadow rat.

D*mn it…

Aktu's heart was in turmoil, but he did not dare to go up, afraid that he would ruin Fang Heng's plan. He could only wait on the spot.

"Whoosh!!"

Soon!

Under the shroud of black fog, Fang Heng injected his mental power to control the operation of the omniscient eye. He could already feel that the magic array's operation was approaching its limit.

The phantom shadow rat's strength was also gradually being consumed.

"Hold on a little longer!"

The density of the black fog aura seeping out of the phantom shadow rat's body had already risen to the limit and could not continue to increase.

The pain that the phantom shadow rat could endure was approaching its limit. It kept rolling and struggling on the ground, squeaking at the top of its lungs.

"Swoosh!!!"

The pain directly shattered the last trace of the phantom shadow rat's rationality. Its eyes were bloodshot as it charged at Fang Heng!

Fang Heng had sensed the phantom shadow rat's movements one step ahead of time. His body quickly dissolved into the air and retreated into the secondary space projection to avoid this attack.

"Bang!!!"

The phantom shadow rat passed through the shadow left behind by Fang Heng and crashed into the rock wall!

The soul-piercing pain struck again. The phantom shadow rat kept running around, but it was firmly restrained by the shackles on its ankle.

Fang Heng hid in the secondary space projection and stared at the phantom shadow rat outside while the alchemy magic array in his right pupil continued to operate at high speed!

In the secondary space projection, he could also use the omniscient eye to cross space and affect external objects.

However, the consumption would increase by dozens of times!

Judging from the state of the phantom shadow rat, the frequency and magnitude of its struggle had gradually weakened.

Soon!

It was about to reach its limit!

After a minute, Fang Heng stepped out of the secondary space projection.

After frantically running around, the phantom shadow rat fell to the ground and seemed to have fainted. The aura that overflowed from its body had begun to weaken rapidly.

At the same time, the magic array on the ground lost the support of the black fog, and its efficiency began to slow down.

Just a little longer!

When the magic array's strength was reduced to a certain level, it would be destroyed with a violent impact.

Fang Heng stared at the condition of the magic array, waiting for the black fog to decrease to a certain concentration.

"Whoosh!!!"

As the black fog began to fade away, Fang Heng's vision became clearer. Suddenly, he felt an extremely powerful strength fluctuation coming from the unconscious phantom shadow rat!

Black fog mixed with powerful pollution strength exploded from the phantom shadow rat. Almost instantly, the entire cave was completely enveloped by a dense black fog!

The power magic array that was gradually losing its strength erupted once again and ran at full speed!

Aktu, who was standing nearby, was shocked.

Not good!

He sensed a terrifying strength overflowing from the front.

The entire space was surrounded by a thick black fog.

The dense black fog swallowed all his senses! He even doubted if he really existed.

Aktu's back was drenched in cold sweat.

An SSS-level difficulty mission…

What kind of terrifying strength was that?

Fang Heng also stared at the center of the black fog in front of him.

Two streaks of scarlet appeared from the darkness.

The phantom shadow rat, which had been unconscious, got up again and stood upright.

This time, the phantom shadow rat's eyes were already covered in a thick blood-red color!

Fang Heng could sense a huge surge of strength surging and gathering rapidly from the phantom shadow rat.

Swoosh, swoosh…

The black fog shrouded the back of the phantom shadow rat and gradually formed a huge shadow.

The dense black fog gathered toward the phantom shadow rat and Fang Heng!

Fang Heng's pupils constricted, and he immediately felt that he was suppressed by the strength of the surrounding black fog, unable to move at all!

[Hint: The player has entered a special bind state. Some of the player's skills cannot be used…]

Fang Heng was startled and quickly sized up his skills. Other than a few passive skills, all of his skills were unusable.

He couldn't even sense the spatial strength fluctuations around him. He couldn't even retreat into the secondary space projection!

What was even more terrifying was that the strength was still accumulating beside him!

Just at the moment before the strength was about to erupt, it suddenly stopped.

A doubtful voice sounded from the shadow.

"Brother…It's you. Why are you here…"

Fang Heng was startled and stared at the phantom.

The source of the shadow, the phantom shadow rat, was like a puppet being controlled.

"You are…"

The demonic seed!

"Ha…"

The black shadow yawned and spoke, "Brother, why is my strength so scattered…"

"Your strength is also so weak…"

"I don't want to think anymore, brother… It's good that you're here…"

"Help me."

Swoosh, swoosh…

The phantom shadow rat's body swayed a few times before it once again fainted. The black fog that was originally wildly dissipating from its body suddenly stopped and quickly disappeared!

Fang Heng looked at the scene in front of him in astonishment.

He instantly understood and came to a terrifying conclusion.

The phantom shadow rat was the true demonic seed!

It was very likely that the phantom shadow rat was also a product of Xia Xi's ritual!

Gu Qingzhu accepted the ritual but did not succeed.

The one who succeeded was the phantom shadow rat!

Therefore, it was very likely that when the game rift first appeared, the phantom shadow rat was not affected by the pollution and did not come into contact with the demonic seed inheritance ritual.

Therefore, when the Federation first explored the cave, they did not notice the existence of the demonic seed and the pollution.

Later, because of Xia Xi, the phantom shadow rat became the ritual bearer of the demonic seed, causing the black fog to change.

Later on, the followers of 'Sloth' discovered the source of the corruption and followed them here.

Perhaps they wanted to help the phantom shadow rat escape?

In the end, he and Gu Qingzhu were chased all the way here by the Federation.

Fang Heng tried to visible his mind.

No wonder the difficulty of the mission was SSS-level!

If it wasn't for the fact that he also had the demonic seed in his body, he would have to face the demonic seed in this mission!

Fortunately…

After the crisis, Fang Heng was extremely glad.

"Chi, chi chi…"

As the strength of the demonic seed gradually dissipated, the power of the binding magic array became extremely weak.

It was time!

1865 Escape

Fang Heng placed his hands in front of him and took out the dark golden holy scepter from his bag. He raised the scepter with both hands and smashed it fiercely!

"Boom!"

There was a dull crash.

A red glow appeared on the hidden alchemy magic array engraved on the ground.

"Crack, crack crack…"

Fine cracks appeared on the alchemy magic array where the scepter hit! Cracks instantly filled the entire magic array until it shattered with a loud sound!

"Bang!!"

At the same time, the chains binding the phantom shadow rat's right leg exploded!

Fang Heng walked forward.

The phantom shadow rat fainted on the ground, its body covered in wounds. Blood stained its brown fur.

Whoosh!

Fang Heng opened his hand, and the Book of Nature appeared in his palm.

Spell-Nature blessing.

It was the lowest level of natural healing.

A gentle green light enveloped the phantom shadow rat.

The wounds on the phantom shadow rat's body gradually healed. Soon, it slowly woke up from its serious injury and opened its eyes again.

At first, it was still a little weak, but when it realized that the shackles on its body had suddenly disappeared, its eyes revealed a look of surprise. It actually stood up from Fang Heng's palm, puffed up its cheeks, and took a deep breath.

The black fog that filled the cave was sucked into its stomach and the injuries on its body were recovering at a visible speed!

After absorbing most of the remaining black fog in the cave, the phantom shadow rat regained its spirit and ran back and forth in the cave! It enjoyed the feeling of freedom.

Fang Heng nodded.

The phantom shadow rat's self-recovery ability was also strong. If he had fought it head-on, he probably wouldn't have won.

Just as he was thinking about it, a game notification flashed on his retina.

[Hint: You have helped the phantom shadow rat escape its shackles. The player's current mission has been completed. Your affinity with the phantom shadow rat has increased greatly.]

[Hint: The player has triggered the next phase of the mission: Escape from the cage.]

Current mission stage-Escape from the cage.

Mission difficulty: S.

Description: You have discovered one of the sealed incarnations of the demonic seed, Sloth, in the special game space. Please try to bring the incarnation of Sloth, the phantom shadow rat, out of the special space.

Mission requirement: Help the phantom shadow rat leave the special game space.

Mission reward: Friendliness of Sloth's incarnation (phantom shadow rat-Kikimi).

After regaining its freedom, the phantom shadow rat ran back and forth in the space and cheered for a moment. Then, it returned and jumped onto Fang Heng's shoulder, squeaking.

Fang Heng raised his head, looked at the circular game rift at the top, and asked, "You want to leave from here, am I right?"

The phantom shadow rat nodded repeatedly.

Aktu's vision had been covered by a thick black fog, and he had no idea what was going on.

When the thick fog in front of him dissipated, he received a notification that the mission was completed.

He looked at Fang Heng in disbelief.

What exactly happened in the thick fog just now?

The terrifying squirrel actually climbed up Fang Heng's shoulder from his hand, and it even looked very obedient?

"Squeak! Squeak squeak!"

The phantom shadow rat sensed Aktu's gaze and barked at him as if it was showing off its power.

Aktu was shocked and took half a step back. He muttered, "Brother Fang Heng, this, this…"

"Yes, the problem has been solved. There's no need to be nervous. This little guy is not dangerous."

Fang Heng gently rubbed Kikimi's head and continued to look up at the sky.

There was no doubt that the phantom shadow rat's strength had been strengthened by the demonic seed, Sloth, so its strength was extraordinary.

With its power, they might be able to escape from the Federation's layers of encirclement!

As he thought about it, Fang Heng once again observed the cave space around the game.

Previously, the phantom shadow rat had been affected by the magic array's shackles, and the black fog in its body had erupted uncontrollably from its body. After the black fog filled the space, it gradually seeped out of the game rift, affecting the outside world.

Now that there were no restraints, the black fog on the phantom shadow rat's body no longer spread. The density of the black fog in the space was also slowly decreasing, and Fang Heng and Aktu's vision became clearer.

The entire space was a large cage with no exits. The bottom was wider, and the higher it went, the narrower it became. The highest point was the location of the game rift.

In any case, they had to leave this place first!

Fang Heng raised his head and looked up at the game rift.

Previously, they were forcefully pulled into the game rift by the power of the black fog.

As for going out…

Fang Heng looked at Aktu and said, "Let's give it a try and see if we can leave the space."

"Alright."

Aktu replied excitedly.

It didn't matter how Fang Heng did it. In short, it seemed that Fang Heng could now control the squirrel.

The phantom shadow rat's strength was terrifying.

With its help, Big Brother and Second Brother could be saved!

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The phantom shadow rat probably knew that it was about to break free, so it stood on Fang Heng's shoulder and squeaked excitedly.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng tapped the ground lightly with the tip of his toes and leaped up, climbing up the rock wall quickly.

The surface of the rock wall was uneven, so it was not difficult to climb it.

Fang Heng climbed to the top of the rift and grabbed it. Aktu also climbed along the rock wall to the other side.

The two of them exchanged glances. Aktu nodded and said, "Brother Fang Heng, I'll go and give it a try first. You'll support me."

"Good!"

Aktu exerted strength with both of his heads and leaped towards the black game rift that was suspended at the top of the cave.

"Whoosh!"

Aktu's finger disappeared the moment it touched the game rift.

It seemed like he had succeeded.

Fang Heng felt a little more at ease and glanced at the phantom shadow rat on his shoulder.

"It's our turn."

As he spoke, Fang Heng leaped forward with all his might.

Huh?

Fang Heng's figure was still in mid-air but before he could get close to the rift, a dark golden light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes!

Holy power fluctuations exploded from the game rift!

"Bang!"

Fang Heng was repelled by the holy power fluctuation. He immediately reached out and grabbed the other side of the rock wall to prevent himself from falling.

Raising his head to look at the rift in the sky, Fang Heng already had some guesses in his heart.

It was a sealing magic array.

The sealing magic array in the outside world had been set up specifically for the phantom shadow rat.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak…"

The phantom shadow rat barked a few times at the game rift above, looking a little angry.

"There's no hurry. You stay here and wait. I'll go out and open the seal from the outside first. I'll be back soon to bring you out."

Fang Heng patted that phantom shadow rat's head and said, "I'll need your help later."

"Squeak, squeak, squeak…"

The phantom shadow rat understood Fang Heng's words. It jumped off Fang Heng's shoulder and easily jumped onto a small protruding rock beside that rock wall. It took a deep breath and puffed up its cheeks, looking ready to be on standby.

Fang Heng nodded plus flew toward that game rift again.

"Whoosh!"

This time, without any surprises, Fang Heng became directly sucked into that game rift.

1866 The Connection

"Pa Ta."

On the other side of the game rift, Aktu was staring outside the rift. He was wondering why Fang Heng had not come out yet. When he looked up, a figure jumped out of the rift.

"Brother Fang Heng!"

Aktu sized Fang Heng up and asked, "Where's that squirrel? Didn't it run out with you?"

"Yes, the seal outside the game rift is largely targeted at the phantom shadow rat. We need to open the seal first before we can bring it out."

"Ah, this…This is a seal set up by the Holy Court and the Federation…"

Aktu's face turned bitter when he heard this.

How could the holy seal left behind by the Holy Court's oracle be so easily undone?

He thought that he finally saw a glimmer of hope on the other side of the game rift but in the blink of an eye, it seemed like it was going to be destroyed again.

"It's not a big problem. After all, it's been such a long time ago. A large portion of the seal has already decayed. Moreover, we still have the help of the phantom shadow rat on the other side."

Fang Heng felt that it was not a big problem and nodded at Aktu.

Aktu took a few steps back, leaving enough space for Fang Heng.

He couldn't help but feel doubtful.

Was this for real?

How could the seal left behind by the Holy Court's oracle be broken so easily?

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng flicked his wrist, and the Book of Oaths floated in front of him.

The holy magic array that the oracle had set up with the help of the holy weapon seal was extremely strong.

With his current ability, he could not break it in a short period of time.

However, he also had a holy weapon!

Moreover, it was effective against such things!

Swoosh…

Fang Heng poured his spiritual power into the Book of Oaths.

Absorb!

The Book of Oaths emitted a faint light.

Under the influence of the Book of Oaths, dark golden specks gradually appeared on the magic array outside the game rift.

The specks quickly fused into the Book of Oaths and were absorbed, turning into energy within the Book of Oaths.

As the energy within the sealing magic array gradually dissipated, the magic array's operating speed gradually slowed down.

"It really works?!"

Aktu looked at the scene before him in shock.

When he saw Fang Heng using the Holy Court move in the game, he felt that it was a little strange.

No matter how one looked at it, it looked like a move from the Holy Court.

Now…

He could even remove the seal left behind by the Holy Court?

"Swoosh, swoosh…"

The magic array in Fang Heng's right pupil spun rapidly.

At the same time, the phantom shadow rat on the other side of the game rift also sensed that the seal's power was being consumed. It released the black fog with all its might.

"Chi, chi chi…"

The black fog continued to seep out of the magic seal, accelerating the corrosion of the magic seal!

As the three stacked together, the power of the sealing magic array left behind by the Holy Court was rapidly consumed!

In fact, over the past few years, the pollution aura that the phantom shadow rat had been releasing had been corroding the sealing magic array in the outside world.

It was basically suppressed by the holy seal.

Other than the holy seal, the rest of the seals had already been corroded.

As long as the holy seal was removed, the rest could be forcefully broken through!

Fang Heng was excited.

At this speed, it would take at most an hour to break through all the magic arrays!

With the help of the phantom shadow rat, it was not impossible for them to escape from the Federation's siege.

…

Outside the encampment of the Mundt Gang, the Federation's military had completely occupied the area of the City of Darkness and had completely surrounded the entire base of the Mundt Gang.

From outside the temporary camp area, they could see the black fog that was constantly seeping out of the cave.

"Commander, we have received a reply from the higher-ups regarding the incident with the Mundt Gang. The higher-ups have ordered that all personnel entering the City of Darkness area will be handled by the special event management department. The military will provide unconditional assistance."

"Before receiving the order, you must keep the camp safe. No one is allowed to leave the City of Darkness area without permission."

The soldier's expression was solemn as he reported, "The special crisis task force has set up a defensive magic grid around the cave. The people around the area are being evacuated."

When Zhou Chen and the rest of the Federation's higher-ups heard this news, their expressions turned grave.

The higher-ups had a huge reaction.

Even Zhou Chen's command authority in the military had been replaced.

None of them could even leave the City of Darkness before undergoing a complete inspection.

It seemed that the demonic seed pollution was more terrifying than they had expected.

Soon, a middle-aged man entered the federal camp surrounded by a group of Federation soldiers.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, everyone from the Federation revealed a strange expression.

Lei Yu.

Lei Yu was already a legendary figure in the gaming world more than ten years ago.

After some things happened, Lei Yu accepted the Federation's amnesty and joined the Federation's crisis management department.

In recent years, Lei Yu had retreated behind the scenes. He didn't expect that he would personally take action this time.

Lei Yu had a kind face. He looked at Autolia and nodded at her gently, "Autolia, you're here too. It's been a long time."

"Yeah, the last time we met was three years ago."

At first, Autolia was a little surprised when she saw Lei Yu, but she soon understood.

Back then, Lei Yu was one of the people who participated in the sealing of the game rift in the City of Darkness. It was reasonable for him to take charge of the overall situation as a member of the Federation.

Lei Yu gazed around at everyone and got to the point, "Everyone, I've received instructions from my superiors. I'll be in charge of this game rift pollution incident. The crisis level of this leak is considered to be the highest. Please be careful. A slight carelessness may cause our entire world to fall. We must not let our guard down."

"Let's go back to the tent and talk."

Without waiting for a response, Lei Yu waved his hand and led the officers of the various departments of the Federation and the higher-ups of the Holy Court into the tent.

Zhou Chen first recounted the battle report of the City of Darkness in detail.

Lei Yu was silent for a moment after listening. He raised his head and said, "I was there when I first sealed the game rift. The black fog that seeped out of the rift didn't have any pollution aura at all. This time, I suddenly discovered pollution. There must be some kind of change inside."

Autolia nodded and asked, "Do you think it has something to do with the Mundt Gang?"

"I'm sure the Mundt Gang is involved."

Lei Yu glanced at the members of the Holy Court who were still setting up the holy magic array beyond the tent and nodded. He said, "I want to know everything that happened."

Kleinman stepped forward and said, "Officer Lei, let's start with me. From the beginning, we were only capturing a demi-human…"

Lei Yu listened to the report of the whole matter and lowered his head to think for a moment. Then he raised his head and gazed in the direction where the black fog was gathering beyond the tent.

Game rift, pollution, demi-humans.

Could there be a connection between these three?

"Autolia, how long will it take for the holy protection magic grid to be completed?"

"Ten minutes."

1867 Setting off

"Alright. I've already set up a barrier magic array at the periphery of the cave before I arrived. With the holy protection magic array, we'll be protected for at least 24 hours even if the pollution erupts. That'll give us enough time to react."

"We'll act immediately after the holy magic array is completed."

Lei Yu made a prompt decision and announced, "We must take down the base of the Mundt Gang immediately in case any accidents happen!"

"Understood!"

The officers of the Federation immediately gave orders to prepare for battle.

Ten minutes later, the team gathered at the entrance of the Mundt Gang's encampment.

Due to the dangerous pollution in the base, Lei Yu arranged for Zhou Chen and most of his subordinates to guard the periphery of the base to reduce the possibility of the spread of pollution.

Lei Yu personally led his team, the Holy Court, and a small number of soldiers from the military department to investigate the interior of the Mundt Gang.

Seeing that the team was about to set off, Zhou Chen walked to Lei Yu's side and asked in a low voice, "The leaders of the Mundt Gang, Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo, have been detained by us. They have just woken up. Should we ask them about the situation in their base?"

"They've already been polluted by the demonic seed. We can't get anything out of them. There's no need to waste time on them."

Lei Yu waved his hand and looked at Autolia, saying, "This trip is unusually dangerous. The Holy Light has a great restraint on pollution. Your Holy Court will take the lead, and we will assist. The situation is urgent, Autolia, you cannot decline."

"Yes, I understand."

Autolia nodded slightly and raised the holy scepter in her hand. A golden light shone from the holy scepter and dispersed the black fog in the surrounding area.

"Let's go."

The Federation team slowly advanced toward the interior of the base.

At this moment, Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo, who were imprisoned in the temporary camp, had just woken up.

Looking at the polluted air that was spreading in the depths of the Mundt Gang's base, Yin Mo's expression darkened, and he even revealed a hint of despair.

"Big Brother, it's the pollution. The contamination has already leaked out. The seal trap we left in the holy land has probably been triggered."

"Yes."

Yin Mo pursed his lips and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Aktu, that kid, is still so disobedient."

"You can't blame him. Unfortunately, I didn't expect the Holy Court to pay so much attention to the black fog. They came so quickly that this operation was a complete failure."

Meng Ruhui sighed in his heart.

He had miscalculated.

Originally, the black fog hiding in the holy land was his last bargaining chip to negotiate with the Federation.

However, he never expected that the Federation would not give them this chance at all. They did not even meet them. After realizing that things were not going well, they immediately took the initiative to attack.

The Federation was extremely decisive in handling this matter.

"Big Brother, do you think we still have the ability to turn the tables?"

Meng Ruhui smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm afraid it'll be difficult."

"Big Brother, Aktu has always been very obedient to us. He would never enter the holy land without any reason. I think he might have been instigated by that kid Fang Heng. That kid's background is a bit strange."

"Indeed. What do you want to say?"

"The seal outside the game rift!"

Yin Mo had not given up yet. He said in a deep voice, "If Fang Heng and Aktu entered the holy land together, they would naturally discover the problem with the seal. Fang Heng is very familiar with seals. What if they have the ability to break the seal? We might still have a chance?"

"It's no use."

Meng Ruhui had thought about everything. He couldn't think of anything that could turn the tables.

"For the past two years, I've been trying to find a way to break the seal on the outer layer of the game rift. Unfortunately, the seal left behind by the Holy Court is too strong. It has a terrifying restraining effect on the black fog, so I haven't been able to find a way."

Yin Mo smiled bitterly as well.

"That's right. We've searched all the people who are proficient in magic array…"

This was the logic.

However, he was not willing to fail like this.

Yin Mo looked up into the distance again, hoping for a miracle.

"Perhaps…"

Meng Ruhui's rationality told him that there was no chance for him to turn the tables around. However, he still could not help but follow Yin Mo's lead and asked, "Perhaps what?"

"It might be an opportunity for the people of the Holy Court to enter the sacred land. What if the demonic seed sealed in the game rift is stimulated by the holy power and escapes from the rift?"

Meng Ruhui smiled bitterly.

It was impossible.

The stimulation of the external holy seal was no less than that of Oracle Autolia. After so many years, it would have been triggered at that time. Why would it wait until now?

Yin Mo knew that he was probably daydreaming, but when he was about to die, his mind was filled with messy thoughts.

"Big Brother, I…"

Eh?

As Yin Mo spoke, he noticed something from the corner of his eye. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the encampment in the distance. His eyes were filled with astonishment.

"Big Brother, this…"

Meng Ruhui's gaze was already focused on the black fog.

His eyes were also filled with astonishment.

Thick fog!

It was spreading outwards!

This abnormal spread…

Could it be caused by that thing sealed in the game rift?

Was it really triggered?

The two of them turned to look at each other at the same time.

The demonic seed!

…

Deep in the base of the Mundt Gang, many players from the forces of the City of Darkness gathered at the entrance of the collapsed sacred land.

The collapse of the passage had caused the morale of the players to collapse.

At the last moment, under the immense pressure from the Federation, everyone chose to fight with their backs to the wall!

Of course, it was impossible for them to rush out and fight the Federation to their deaths.

At this moment, everyone was digging around the collapsed entrance of the holy land. From time to time, they would carefully observe the two people beside them from the corner of their eyes.

Fana and Gu Qingzhu.

These two women who came out of nowhere were too terrifying!

The explosion in the sacred land had caused the passage to collapse, and the inside of the Mundt Gang was in chaos. The leaders of the remaining gangs in the City of Darkness were arguing with the people of the Mundt Gang, and they almost fought with each other.

At the critical moment, Gu Qingzhu made a move and easily killed two syndicate leaders who were causing trouble, shocking the players.

Then, under Gu Qingzhu's cold death threat, the players calmed down.

Fana led the players to believe that there was something inside the sacred land that could help them turn the tables, so she desperately dug out the collapsed holy land passage, hoping to grab onto the last straw.

As they dug deeper, thick black fog leaked out from the cracks of the collapsed rocks.

"Faster! The Federation has previously barged in!"

"Bring some people to stall them for a while more!"

"Dammit, why don't you send your people to die?"

Without a leader, the leaders of the remaining forces in the City of Darkness were giving orders. The entire headquarters was in chaos.

Gu Qingzhu had only watched coldly from the side from the beginning to the end.

"Keep your voices down!"

Suddenly, Gu Qingzhu gave a cry and jumped down from the rock that she was standing on. She stared at the rock where the black fog was leaking and shouted, "The aura leaking out is very abnormal. Hurry up and dig! They're coming out soon!"

1868 Strategy

Hearing this, everyone's expression immediately became happy, and they all hurried to move the stone.

There was hope!

As they were talking, the three players worked together to move a huge boulder away. The thick black fog seemed to have found a vent and gushed out from a small crack behind the stone!

"Retreat!"

Hearing this, everyone quickly retreated!

"Chi, chi chi…"

The black fog that leaked out from the crack instantly doubled the density of the fog in the entire cave.

The players stared at the crack and turned to look at Gu Qingzhu from time to time.

Gu Qingzhu didn't continue to speak and continued to stare at the crack.

"Boom!!!"

With a loud explosion, a hole was blasted open in the passage that was covered by boulders!

Almost instantly, an even thicker black aura flowed out of the breach and filled the cave! Everyone's vision was immediately covered by a thick fog.

However, it seemed that the amount of fog on the other side of the breach was not enough, and it quickly stopped leaking out.

As the black fog in the headquarters gradually dispersed, the breach was clearly revealed to the player again.

The passage to the Holy Land should have been opened.

Everyone looked at the entrance that had been broken open, their eyes filled with vigilance.

How was it?

Why was there no movement?

Where was Aktu?

Could it be that he fainted or was injured?

The players of the Mundt Gang could still remain calm, but the players from the City of Darkness could not help but whisper among themselves.

"How is it?!"

"Let's go in and take a look…"

"Could he be injured…"

"The black fog is also dissipating. What's going on in your holy land? Is there anyone alive who can tell us?"

Previously, the players had relied on the black fog that seeped out of the Holy Land to fight with the Federation.

Although the entrance to the holy land had been reopened, the black fog that they relied on to survive was gone.

Then what was the point of fighting?!

What happened to the last straw?

"What are you shouting for? What are you all panicking for?!"

Aktu's loud voice resounded throughout the entire cave.

The entire cave instantly fell silent.

A sturdy figure walked out of the cave.

"Boss!"

When the members of the Mundt Gang saw Aktu walking out of the cave, they felt relieved.

The rest of the people from the City of Darkness also cast their gazes at Aktu.

Aktu was still alive!

They still had hope!

Gu Qingzhu, on the other hand, was staring intently at Aktu's side.

Fang Heng!

Fang Heng followed Aktu, bending down as he came out from the hole.

Unlike the last time they met, Fang Heng was shrouded in a faint layer of black fog.

Gu Qingzhu nodded slightly at Fang Heng, feeling very strange.

The source of the black fog was the holy land of the Mundt Gang.

But now, the black fog had disappeared.

Was it related to Fang Heng?

What did he do inside?

Also, Fang Heng's aura had changed greatly, making her feel very hazy.

Fang Heng seemed to be shrouded in a layer of aura that could block one's perception.

Aktu gestured for everyone to quiet down, then stole a glance at Fang Heng from the corner of his eye.

Everything that had just happened in the holy land felt like a dream.

In short, the fact was that the large-scale magic array that the Federation had spent a lot of time and effort to set up more than ten years ago had been completely destroyed in less than an hour under the joint efforts of Fang Heng and the phantom shadow rat!

Not even a strand of hair was left!

What Aktu could not imagine was that Fang Heng had really brought the phantom shadow rat out of the game rift!

That terrifying little squirrel monster…

A faint game prompt flashed across Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player completed the current phase of the quest-Escape from the cage.]

[Hint: The player's friendliness with the shadow phantom rat (Kikimi) has increased greatly. The player has received 50,000 King of Gods' points.]

[Hint: The player triggered the next phase of the mission-The divided demonic seed.]

Mission description: Due to certain reasons, the power of the demonic seed Sloth has been divided. Only a portion of the power of the demonic seed Sloth is in the body of the shadow phantom rat (Kikimi). Please try to find the remaining power of the demonic seed and assist the shadow phantom rat (Kikimi) in completing the fusion with the power of Sloth.

Mission reward: King of Gods' points, shadow phantom rat (Kikimi) friendliness, follow-up mission.

Fang Heng glanced at the shadow phantom rat that was peeking out of his neck to observe the outside world. He nodded at Aktu.

"Everyone, don't panic. It was just a small accident. Since I'm out now, I'll naturally help everyone escape."

Aktu took a step forward, appearing very confident, "I'll say one thing now. The Federation has already surrounded us outside. If we want to live, we must unite as one and listen to my arrangements! If anyone doesn't believe me, then you can get lost now!"

The hall was eerily quiet. No one spoke. Everyone's expression was unusually solemn.

They had all committed major crimes. If they were caught by the Federation, they would most likely be imprisoned for life.

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, they were willing to give it their all!

"What should we do? Aktu, just say it!"

"Yes."

Aktu calmed down a little and quickly explained the plan he had discussed with Fang Heng.

When everyone heard this, their eyes revealed a puzzled expression.

What did he mean? Surrender?

Surrender to the Federation?

Would this work?

"I know you have a lot of questions. Now that the Holy Court has brought people in, I don't have time to explain to you in detail. Either we follow the plan or we're all finished!"

Everyone thought about it and no longer hesitated. They followed suit and took action.

Aktu took a deep breath.

Although he pretended to be calm in front of outsiders, his heart was also very empty.

"Fang Heng, there's no problem right?"

"No problem."

Fang Heng nodded slightly. He looked at Gu Qingzhu and Fana and nodded at them, "You did well just now. Don't worry. I'm confident this time. Get ready to move."

…

Inside the encampment of the Mundt Gang, Oracle Autolia was leading the team slowly toward the headquarters of the Mundt Gang.

The holy power fluctuations that bloomed dispersed the black fog that had a polluted aura.

In order to prevent any accidents from happening, this team moved very slowly.

Right now, they were most worried about the game rift.

It was the demonic seed.

Once this demonic seed's contamination spread, the entire world might be reduced to ruins.

The higher-ups had given a death order. This kind of thing was not allowed to happen!

The team had only traveled for about ten minutes when the thick black fog erupted again in the direction of the entrance to the headquarters of the Mundt Gang!

Everyone's faces darkened.

The situation appeared getting worse.

Oracle Autolia stared ahead and raised her hand to signal this team to stop.

The black fog that erupted for this second time appeared filled with pollution. The pollution quickly fused with the black fog outside and spread.

1869 Exploration

Just as Autolia was about to gather everyone to dispel the pollution, she suddenly sensed something and became alert.

"Be careful! Stay alert!"

The military commander saw the change in Autolia's expression and immediately shouted a warning.

Everyone in the party set up their defenses and looked at the black fog in front of them warily.

Soon, a group of players appeared from the black fog ahead.

They were from the City of Darkness!

Were they prepared to fight to the death?

The soldiers of the Federation army aimed their guns at the players in front of them.

"Don't attack! We surrender!"

Without waiting for Lei Yu to give the order to attack, there were shouts and cries for help in front of them.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute!"

"We surrender! Don't do anything!"

"Save me, we surrender!"

A group of about 100 people ran out of the black fog and noisily approached the federal team.

"Stop right there!"

Lei Yu shouted loudly, his voice like a great bell!

The players in the City of Darkness who were running for their lives suddenly felt their eardrums bulge. They felt a little dizzy and stood rooted to the ground, not daring to move.

Lei Yu nodded at the captain of the Federation army behind him. The latter immediately led the soldiers forward.

"Everyone, stay where you are! Shut up! Put down your weapons! Accept the inspection!"

The players quickly dropped their weapons and stood where they were.

"Take them all away."

"Yes, sir!"

The soldiers confiscated the players' weapons and handcuffed them with special handcuffs.

"You! Stop! What's going on?" Lei Yu grabbed a handcuffed player and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on in the base of the Mundt Gang?"

"S-Sir…"

The person Lei Yu grabbed was Xiaoqi, who had been leading Fang Heng and the others. He looked terrified and said carefully, "Aktu, the leader of the Mundt Gang, he's crazy…"

"Be more specific! How could he be crazy!"

"Aktu had just entered the holy land of the Mundt Gang. Then, there was an explosion in the holy land and a large amount of fog overflowed from it."

Xiaoqi was terrified. He stretched out his hand and gestured. Even his voice was trembling, "After the black fog spread out, many people had problems. They escaped from the holy land and their bodies were rotten. It was too terrifying… And Aktu, he's gone crazy, he's lost his mind…"

Lei Yu and Oracle Autolia looked at each other.

The situation that Xiaoqi described was undoubtedly caused by pollution. It seemed that the pollution had spread throughout the cave.

Xiaoqi's face was filled with fear. He continued, "We saw the black fog coming out of the cave. We didn't dare to stay there and ran. Those who were slow turned into monsters…"

"Where's Aktu?"

"I don't know. He seems to be still in the cave. There's still a lot of fog inside. I don't know his situation."

Lei Yu pondered for a moment and waved his hand to instruct the soldiers, "Take them down first. We'll quarantine them outside the encampment and check the intensity of the pollution."

"Yes! Understood!"

The escaping players were just some random people.

Lei Yu and Oracle Autolia didn't take it to heart.

What they were most worried about was none other than the game rift.

It seemed that the dark pollution in the game rift had spread outwards and even caused corruption.

"We are right. The internal situation of the Mundt Gang has changed. Be careful."

"Yes."

Autolia also had a solemn expression. She released the holy barrier to disperse the surrounding polluted fog for a moment before signaling the team to continue moving forward.

Soon, the team approached the headquarters of the Mundt Gang.

The fog in front of them was already seriously polluted.

"Military personnel, escort the prisoners back to the outer defense area!"

"Understood!"

The people from the military department left with the prisoners of war.

The holy barrier provided by Autolia could provide some protection for the team, but the resistance of the army players to pollution was very weak.

If they were to be contaminated and corrupted after entering the base of the Mundt Gang, it would only cause unnecessary chaos.

"The headquarters of the Mundt Gang is just ahead. There might be polluted creatures inside. Be careful, everyone. Let's continue."

Oracle Autolia reminded everyone and expanded the holy barrier a little more before stepping into the headquarters.

It was a little different from what Autolia had expected.

The cave where the headquarters of the Mundt Gang was located seemed to be too quiet. The only sound in the cave was the sizzling sound of the black fog touching the holy barrier.

What about the humans who had been polluted?

Lei Yu carefully observed the surrounding situation and whispered, "There are no pollution-festering creatures. They might be hiding."

"After being polluted, most festered creatures will lose their minds. It's moreover possible for them to leave the cave."

"Let's ignore the festered creatures for now. Let's go to the game rift and take a look."

"Yes."

Autolia walked in front of the team, breaking through the area shrouded in thick fog. She gazed at the cave that led to the holy land of the Mundt Gang. After thinking for a while, she persisted to move forward.

She followed the passage all the way to the bottom.

The game rift!

Everyone noticed the game rift at the end of the cave in front of them and stopped again.

Black fog blended with pollution was constantly seeping out of the game rift.

"This…"

Lei Yu frowned and turned to look at Autolia.

Autolia's eyes were moreover filled with shock.

Ten years ago, they had left dozens of seals here.

And now, the seals had been completely broken!

The Mundt Gang had actually destroyed all the seals they had left here!

Judging from the traces, the seals had been broken not long ago.

Rumors had it that the oracle of the Holy Court, Autolia, had used the power of a holy artifact to set up a powerful holy seal outside the game rift, ensuring that the game rift was safe and sound.

In fact, only those present knew that Autolia was not the only one who had set up the holy seal. In fact, they were set up by using the power of the Holy Court!

Unexpectedly, all the seals had been completely broken.

Who was so capable?

This was not the only strange thing!

Although the seals outside the game rift had been completely broken, the polluted fog that seeped out of the game rift was not very strong. It was even gradually weakening.

Autolia tried to get closer to the game rift.

"I can't just leave it alone. I'll try to seal it first."

Autolia and Lei Yu exchanged a few words and condensed a mark in front of them.

"Whoosh…!"

Sparks of Holy Light gradually appeared around Autolia.

Under the control of her mental power, the specks of Holy Light gathered outside the game rift, forming a dark golden ball around it.

The spherical barrier completely enveloped the game rift.

Not a single bit of the polluted black fog oozed out of the barrier.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this.

After being purified by the holy power, the concentration of the polluted fog in the cave began to decline rapidly.

1870 Breakthrough

Autolia completed the seal and took half a step back, glancing at Lei Yu again.

Their eyes were filled with confusion.

They could actually seal the game rift so easily?

It was too strange!

More than ten years ago, the Federation and the Holy Court had worked together to temporarily seal the rift and paid a huge price.

This time, the seal had clearly undergone a huge change, and it was even related to the demonic seed.

However, the difficulty of sealing it had actually decreased?

It was unbelievably simple!

Autolia and Lei Yu both felt that something was wrong.

"There's no problem with the game rift. Let's exit and take a look."

"Alright."

Lei Yu signaled for several members of the Holy Court and the Federation's crisis management team to stand guard. Then, he led everyone out of the holy land and prepared to thoroughly inspect the entire cave of the Mundt Gang.

He hoped that he could find something.

Lei Yu frowned.

He felt that the development of this matter was too strange.

It was going very smoothly.

But…

It was a little abnormal.

So what was the problem?

As soon as everyone left the cave, Lei Yu and Autolia sensed something at the same time. They looked towards the outside of the cave.

What the hell!

Looking from afar, a thick black fog suddenly exploded outside the camp of the Mundt Gang.

At the same time, the holy protection magic array set up around the encampment began to spin rapidly.

The holy barrier and the Holy Light pillar soared into the sky.

The black fog and the holy barrier once again gathered and intertwined!

In an instant, Lei Yu realized something.

"Not good! There's something wrong with that group of people just now!"

Lure the tiger away from the mountain!

…

At the same time, outside the encampment of the Mundt Gang, a black fog shrouded the area!

The people of the military department had a weak resistance to pollution. In order to prevent themselves from being affected by pollution, the soldiers led the surrendered Mundt Gang and the criminals of the City of Darkness out of the encampment after the initial registration.

According to the rules, all captives would be detained outside the camp after a full investigation.

They had never expected that there would be a problem with the captives during the interrogation.

A thick black fog suddenly rose from the periphery of the Mundt Gang's encampment and the people of the Mundt Gang who had surrendered suddenly launched a counterattack!

Zhou Chen immediately ordered a counterattack to leave no survivors.

However, just as the order was given, an extremely dense black fog enveloped the battlefield!

"Get lost!!!"

Aktu roared and broke free from the restraints, his body dashing out of the black fog!

"Dong dong dong…"

The soldiers of the Federation Army raised their guns and fired immediately.

"Boom!!"

Aktu controlled the black fog to condense into a huge palm and swept it forward, blasting away a small team from the Federation army that had rushed over to support them!

"Reinforcements! The captives in the camp are rebelling. We need reinforcements!"

"It's Gu Qingzhu! Target found, Gu Qingzhu!"

"Long-range suppression! Don't let them get close to the holy seal!"

Amidst the chaos, the phantom shadow rat poked its head out from under Fang Heng's collar, who was standing in the middle of the black fog.

The dense black fog was spat out by the phantom shadow rat.

The phantom shadow rat was excited after escaping from the game space!

The thick black fog was continuously spat out from its mouth, enveloping large areas of the surrounding area in black fog.

With the help of the black fog, the players of the Mundt Gang were greatly strengthened, and they fought back with all their might!

Archbishop Robert saw that the situation was not good and immediately gave the order to retreat. He ordered the alchemy magic array to activate the Holy Light pillar to purify the black fog.

The holy barrier defensive magic array activated rapidly!

Large patches of black fog surged forward, constantly colliding with the holy barrier, producing sizzling sounds.

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the barrier in front of him and gently rubbed the head of the phantom shadow rat.

"Let's go, let them see how powerful we are!"

"Squeak!"

The phantom shadow rat had been imprisoned in the game rift all this time and was suffocated. When it encountered such a fun thing, it immediately let out an excited cry and followed Fang Heng out!

Fang Heng quickly arrived in front of the barrier that elevated outside the temporary camp of the Federation.

The phantom shadow rat took a deep breath. Its cheeks bulged several times, and its entire body expanded several times. It looked like a meatball!

"Whoosh!!!"

An even denser black fog was spat out from the phantom shadow rat's mouth, surging toward the holy farrier!

It was different this time!

The black fog was mixed with a high concentration of pollution!

Immediately, the holy barrier was stimulated by the black fog, and it immediately emitted an even more intense hissing sound!

The purification efficiency of the magic barrier was greatly reduced!

The players from the Holy Court who were gathered behind the holy barrier were shocked.

Robert looked at the place where the thick fog was flowing out, and cold sweat shattered out on his forehead.

What was going on?

Why was there such a thick fog coming from the area in front of them?

He couldn't block it at all!

What was it?

Could it be that something had broken free from the holy land?

Could it be a demonic seed?

The people from the Federation military immediately went forward to assist.

Unfortunately, they could not see the figure in the black fog clearly. They could only shoot crazily at the black fog area in front of them.

However, once the bullets entered the black fog area, the resistance they received immediately increased by thousands of times. After being wrapped in layers of black fog, they could not move forward for more than a few meters and fell to the ground.

"Now!"

Destroy it!

Fang Heng did not want to waste any more time. He quickly condensed a mark in front of him with both hands!

"Whoosh, swoosh swoosh!!"

The black fog gathered in front of Fang Heng and formed a huge black arrow.

"Boom!!!"

After the arrow condensed, it crashed into the holy defense barrier!

"Hold on! Activate the magic array at full power!"

"We must withstand this attack!"

Archbishop Robo sensed the powerful power contained in the black fog. He was so scared that his forehead was covered in sweat. He shouted and ordered his subordinates to focus on controlling the magic array!

The Holy Court players poured their full concentration into the magic array!

"Whoosh!"

The holy defensive barrier once again emitted a dazzling Holy Light!

In the next moment, the arrow condensed from the black fog and collided with the holy defensive barrier!

"Bang!!!"

The arrow exploded!

The holy defensive barrier kept trembling in the explosion, flickering between light and darkness.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.

The holy barrier was stronger than he had expected.

"It doesn't matter, let's do it again!!!"

"Squeak!"

The phantom shadow rat also yelled excitedly.

The second black arrow quickly condensed.

Archbishop Robert and the rest of the Holy Court managed to block the attack with great difficulty. Before they could possibly heave a sigh of relief, they saw additional arrow of thick fog gathering not far away. Their faces immediately turned as pale as paper.

It was already his best effort to block such an attack once.

A second time?

It was impossible to block it!

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, Robert immediately yelled and retreated quickly, "Retreat!"

As he spoke, the arrow condensed and shot toward the holy defensive barrier once again.

The players of the Holy Court and the soldiers of the Federation army had no intention of resisting. They turned around and ran!

1871 Interception

"Boom!!!"

The arrow struck the holy defensive barrier again.

The barrier that was already on the verge of collapse was instantly submerged by the black fog that exploded!

The menacing black fog continued to surge into the entire federal camp!

At the same time, Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo, who were imprisoned in the federal camp, also noticed the commotion outside.

What was going on?

There was a riot in the camp?

Furthermore, there was a large amount of black fog pouring into the federal camp?

Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo did not know what had happened, but when they heard that there was chaos in the federal camp, a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts.

Regardless of what happened, perhaps he could escape during this chaos?

Just as he was thinking about it, Meng Ruhui heard a familiar shout not far away.

"Big Brother! Are you there?"

Yin Mo's face lit up when he heard the shouts and he shouted out, "Aktu! We're here!"

Aktu was overjoyed when he heard the response. He led more than ten of his men under the enhancement of the black fog and charged forward. They quickly killed the guards outside the temporary prison and charged into the prison.

"Big Brother!"

Seeing that his two big brothers were safe and sound, Aktu quickly went forward to help them undo the seal and ropes on their bodies.

"Aktu, how did you get here? What happened outside? What's with the black fog?"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, I know everything about the demonic seed. It's Brother Fang Heng. We went to the other side of the game rift together. He brought the demonic seed out of the game rift. The black fog outside was caused by the demonic seed."

What?!

Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo were completely stunned when they heard this.

They had never expected to receive such an answer. For a moment, they suspected that Aktu had made a mistake.

The demonic seed that was sealed on the other side of the game rift…

It was actually brought out?

This was the SSS-level mission target they had obtained in the early stages!

One could imagine how difficult it was.

Just the holy seal outside the game rift was enough to render them helpless.

Moreover…

That was a demonic seed!

Could it really be controlled?

"Big Brother, the holy land is already crippled. If there's anything to say, let's escape with Brother Fang Heng first!"

"Yes!"

Now was indeed not the time to talk about it in detail. After the two of them calmed down, they nodded and immediately fled the camp with Aktu.

With the help of the black fog enveloping the camp, even though Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo had been drugged by the Federation and would not be able to unleash their full strength for a period of time, they would at least have a portion of their combat power to save their lives.

The three of them had just left the temporary tent when they saw the Federation team gathering again around the Holy Light pillar. They wanted to use the power of the magic array to disperse the black fog.

"Aktu! It's almost time! Let's go!"

After Fang Heng shattered the holy barrier, he continued to dash forward with the phantom shadow rat. He walked at the front of the team and spread the black fog to open up a path.

Behind him, Gu Qingzhu looked at Fang Heng with a thoughtful expression.

There were many similarities between the power of the black fog and the ritual she had received before.

How did he do it?

Could it be that he had mastered the power of the demonic seed?

As she was thinking, Gu Qingzhu and Fana followed Fang Heng.

"Stop!!!"

Fang Heng was rushing forward in an attempt to break through when a stern shout came from the front.

In front of him, 12 players stood in different directions, blocking Fang Heng's path of retreat.

It was a small team formed by several high-ranking officers of the Federation and several elite members of the Federation's inspection team.

Every one of them was an elite.

"Fang Heng, be careful."

Gu Qingzhu followed behind Fang Heng and reminded him in a low voice.

Among this group of people was the one who had attacked her in Haines School.

"Yes."

Fang Heng agreed lightly. He recognized the person standing on the right.

It was him again!

It was the officer of the Federation army whom he had met twice before, Rhett.

Previously, he had used a secret technique to escape. Who would have thought that he would be able to recover so quickly and join the battle?

Rhett also stared at Fang Heng, his palms sweating slightly.

Previously, he had used a secret technique to escape from Fang Heng's battle. After returning, he forcefully used a recovery potion to fight again.

His current strength had decreased by one-third compared to his peak.

This operation involved so many departments and so many people. If Fang Heng still managed to escape in the end, the Federation's military department and investigation team would really have no place to put their faces!

Rhett forced himself to use the potion. Even if he had to lie in bed for a year and a half, he had to keep them all here.

"Fang Heng…Gu Qingzhu…"

Kleinman did not join the battle. He only sized up Gu Qingzhu and Fang Heng from afar, muttering to himself thoughtfully.

Fang Heng sensed the lifeblood fluctuations emitted by the twelve people in front of him and let out a disdainful snort.

"What's wrong? Are they bullying us again? Are you waiting to die?"

It seemed that this group of people was the Federation's last trump card to stop them.

After dealing with them, he could escape the blockade!

One of them said, "Gu Qingzhu, Fang Heng, you can't escape. It's not too late to surrender now…"

Fang Heng didn't know that because of the demonic seed, even the Federation's special case team had arrived.

All of his previous arrangements were to avoid a battle with the Holy Court's oracle.

The oracle of the Holy Court, whom he feared the most, was still in the holy land of Mundt Gang.

It would be troublesome if she rushed back.

Fang Heng didn't want to waste time arguing with the Federation.

Directly attack!

Charge out!

"Cut the crap. Come at me if you have the ability!"

Fang Heng shouted loudly. Gu Qingzhu had already taken a step forward!

Swoosh!!

Everyone from the Federation immediately flew up.

Fang Heng put his palms together in front of him.

"Condense!!"

The phantom shadow rat standing on Fang Heng's shoulder spat out another mouthful of dense black fog!

The black fog rapidly gathered! It condensed into more than ten dark spears in front of Fang Heng and stabbed forward!

The expressions of the 12 Federation's military officers and members of the Holy Court changed at the same time!

The dark spear contained a power fluctuation that made one's heart palpitate!

"Be careful! There's contamination in the spell!"

"Quickly dodge! Don't face it head-on!"

The Federation players were extremely afraid of pollution. When they saw the dark lance coming, they all dodged to the side.

"Boom! Boom Boom Boom!!!"

The spears exploded one after another, and the area in front of them was once again covered in a thick layer of black fog!

Fang Heng opened his arms.

The surrounding black fog quickly condensed into a lance in his hand.

"There's no need to fight with them. Follow me. We'll rush out!"

As he spoke, Fang Heng took the lead and dashed to the right, trying to break through the encirclement of the federal team.

"Stay here!"

Rhett saw Fang Heng dash out of the black fog and was about to break through the area not far from him. He immediately exclaimed and blasted forward, trying to stop him.

Fang Heng saw Rhett rushing towards him from the corner of his eye. He lifted his lance and threw it to the right!

1872 Breaking Free

"Bang!!!"

Rhett's pupils shrank.

The fist struck the spear formed by the black fog. He only felt a huge force surge over, and his body flew backward uncontrollably!

The scenery in front of him quickly retreated!

Rhett's eyes were full of surprise.

Fang Heng!

How did that guy do it?!

The first time they met, he could still suppress Fang Heng with his own strength. The second time, the situation was completely reversed. He was already suppressed by Fang Heng. If he had not used a secret technique, he would have almost died at the other party's hands.

Now, it was the third time.

He was even more miserable!

In a face-to-face exchange, he could not even withstand a single attack from the other party!

Why was it that every time they met, the other party's strength would increase by a qualitative level?

Fang Heng glanced at Rhett, who had been pushed back, and then rushed toward another federal officer.

The expression of the federal officer who was locked onto by Fang Heng changed slightly. He raised his long saber in front of him and prepared to resist with all his might.

With the enhancement of the phantom shadow rat's black fog strength, Fang Heng was not at a disadvantage even when facing the Federation military officers.

"Bang!!!"

The spear stabbed forward!

The federal officer raised his long saber to block. He did not expect a huge force to come from the long saber. The entire long saber instantly shattered and flew out in all directions!

The broken saber scratched the face of the federal officer.

"Entangle!!"

The federal officer stared at Fang Heng and shouted.

Green vines suddenly emerged from under his sleeve and grabbed Fang Heng's body.

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched slightly, and he was caught off guard by the vines that wrapped around his hands.

Following that, two elite players from the Federation's Inspection Bureau arrived from the right!

"Stay here!"

Whoosh!

Swoosh!!!

Two elite players from the Federation's Inspection Bureau stabbed their swords at Fang Heng.

"Bang! Bang!!!"

What was going on?!

The two officers were shocked.

The long sword stabbed into Fang Heng's body, but most of its strength was neutralized by the black fog that exploded from his body!

"Chi!!"

After the sword pierced through the black fog protection, it landed on Fang Heng's body and drew a long bloody wound!

However, the wound quickly healed in the blink of an eye!

"Bang!"

The black spear in Fang Heng's hand exploded into a cloud of black fog. He quickly broke free from the vines on his body and retreated quickly.

As he retreated, Fang Heng raised his right hand again, and the black fog quickly gathered in his palm!

Another black fog spear instantly condensed and was thrown forward in his hand!

"Bang!!"

The black fog exploded again, repelling several Federation players who were chasing after them.

Fang Heng quickly observed the enemy's position under the cover of the black fog.

"This is troublesome!"

The Federation was too difficult to deal with.

Their strength was not low, and they even had the support of each other. It was even more difficult to kill anyone.

The Federation military officers and the Inspection Bureau elites surrounding Fang Heng also retreated after several failed attacks. They exchanged glances.

Very few people could endure their siege.

This young man in front of him was definitely not ordinary!

The black fog around him could provide him with extremely high defense, and ordinary attacks were almost ineffective!

In contrast, under the influence of the black fog, their physical strength was rapidly depleting!

Fang Heng was not the only one who was difficult to deal with. Gu Qingzhu, who had entered the berserk state again, was also difficult to deal with.

Gu Qingzhu did not lose out in a one-on-four battle. The four officers of the military department suppressed her tightly.

"Brother Fang Heng! We're here to help you!"

Aktu and his two other brothers also quickly followed behind, providing assistance behind Fang Heng.

Under the influence of the thick black fog, Aktu's power had increased greatly. He could also help to share the burden. If he really could not win, he would retreat into the depths of the black fog. The Federation really did not dare to chase after him.

It was not that no one had tried to chase into the black fog, but once they entered the depths of the black fog, their stamina would drain faster. They would even encounter some mysterious creatures that moved quickly in the black fog.

This creature moved extremely fast, and it was impossible to see its movements clearly in the black fog!

The few players who broke into the black fog only realized the existence of this mysterious enemy after being hit!

In addition to the fear of the pollution mentioned by the Holy Court, the members of the Federation team did not dare to stay any longer and immediately retreated to the periphery of the black fog.

The two sides fought for more than three minutes. The players from the Federation had been fighting in the outer area of the black fog. Soon, they began to pant heavily.

The black fog's devouring effect on stamina was too terrifying!

It had only been three minutes, but they could already feel their stamina depleting rapidly!

"Retreat first!"

The Federation realized that they could not win and would only be at an even greater disadvantage if they continued. While they still had some stamina reserves, they immediately chose to give up and gathered everyone to quickly retreat in the direction of the Holy Light pillar outside the black fog!

"Let's go!"

Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Federation had retreated.

He was also afraid that the Federation would delay him.

He would not feel good even if he delayed until the oracle of the Holy Court, Autolia, arrived!

"Charge out!"

Fang Heng immediately led the players of the City of Darkness behind him to tear a hole in the protection line formed by the Federation and forcefully breakthrough!

The Federation's military retreated around the Holy Light pillar, watching Fang Heng and his team break through their encirclement under the cover of a large black fog and leave!

Zhou Chen, the commander of the military headquarters, clenched his fists tightly.

How could a battle that was almost certain turn out like this?

…

In the outside world, the thick black fog suddenly overflowed from a certain cave.

The Federation's military and the players from the crisis management team, who were responsible for guarding the perimeter, became extremely nervous when they saw this. They clenched their guns tightly and stared at the entrance of the cave.

The black fog was already overflowing?

All the exits of the cave had just been set up with barriers to prevent the black fog from spreading under the set up of the crisis management team. The guards were still not strong enough and were far from being as tight as the inside.

"Black fog detected! There might be contamination! Activate the barrier at full force!"

As the black fog affected communication, the external federal guards could not obtain accurate information about the inside of the City of Darkness.

"Boom!!!"

Black fog suddenly burst out from the entrance of the cave.

"Attack!!!"

With a loud shout, a figure darted out from the black fog that overflowed from the cave.

The federal team commander's eyelids twitched and he shouted, "Fire!!"

"Dong dong…"

A dense rain of bullets rained down on Fang Heng, who was the first to emerge from the black fog!

"Bang Bang Bang!!"

Before the bullet could even make contact with Fang Heng, a layer of black fog enveloped him and deflected most of the force! The remaining projectiles that landed on Fang Heng's body could not even break through his external defense!

The soldiers of the Federation saw the black shadow charging forward at full speed against the concentrated gunfire, straight for the black fog defensive barrier that had just been established outside the cave!

What kind of monster was that?!

Ordinary projectiles could not stop it at all!

"Bang!!!"

Fang Heng arrived in front of the barrier in a flash. He suddenly raised his hand and punched out, using all his power to pound the defensive barrier.

1873 Explosion

"Boom!!!"

Under the impact of the heavy punch, the defensive barrier that connected the periphery of the cave instantly exploded!

Sparks of debris exploded.

They were all shattered just like that with one punch?

What kind of terrifying monster was this?

The players also looked at Fang Heng in shock, forgetting to continue firing.

In fact, the defensive barrier set up by the Federation crisis management team was only to prevent the black fog from leaking out. The physical defense ability was not strong.

"Shoot! Stop them! Don't let them leave!"

After a short pause of half a second, the Federation army opened fire again!

Fang Heng was a little surprised to see that the barrier had been shattered with a single punch.

He raised his head and looked at the people of the Federation outside with disdain.

The black fog that seeped out of the cave quickly spread towards where he was standing!

The sight of the people from the Federation was soon blocked by the thick black fog!

In the black fog, the players from the various major forces of the City of Darkness and the players from the Mundt Gang were also running out with Fang Heng.

Seeing the black fog rapidly surging toward them, the Federation team turned pale with fright.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Most of the ordinary Federation soldiers in charge of guarding the outside only had firearms to attack. Seeing that the firearms were ineffective, they immediately began to cover each other and retreat.

However, ordinary firearms were unable to stop Fang Heng and his team, who were shrouded in the black fog.

Fang Heng and his men had opened up a path for the guards almost instantly!

"Follow me! Let's rush out together!"

Fang Heng led the rest of the Mundt Gang and charged forward, escaping the encirclement of the Federation!

It was already noon when they left the Federation's lockdown area.

When players of the various major powers saw that they had successfully escaped, they immediately fled in all directions.

Aktu hurried to Fang Heng's side and asked, "Fang Heng, the Mundt Gang has a few hidden strongholds outside. The members of the Mundt Gang will spread out and settle down in different strongholds. What are your plans?"

Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo also looked at Fang Heng.

They had too many questions to ask Fang Heng, especially regarding the demonic seed!

Fang Heng did not plan to escape at first. He could not help but look at Gu Qingzhu beside him.

Gu Qingzhu glanced behind him and quickly said, "The black fog has the ability to shield our auras. It can reduce the accuracy of the Federation's lock-on to us. For now, we should think of a way to get rid of the pursuers behind us."

"Yes."

Fang Heng turned around and faced the back.

Seeing that the Federation had caught up to them again, he lowered his head and looked at the phantom shadow rat hidden in his clothes.

"Kikimi, show them what you got."

"Squeak!!"

The phantom shadow rat squeaked and jumped onto Fang Heng's shoulder. It took a deep breath and puffed out its cheeks.

"Phew!!!"

The phantom shadow rat spat out a thick layer of black fog towards the pursuers behind it!

The Federation players who were the closest to them were immediately covered by a thick black fog!

"Not good, be careful! There might be contamination!"

"Stop chasing!"

When the Federation commander saw this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He immediately ordered everyone to chase after him. His eyes were filled with panic and fear.

The demonic seed!

The thing just now was very likely a demonic seed!

Once contaminated by the demonic seed, it would be over if it accidentally spread out!

After releasing a large amount of black fog in a short period of time, the phantom shadow rat also revealed a tired expression. It curled up again and hid in Fang Heng's pocket.

Meng Ruhui and Yin Mo exchanged glances, feeling bewildered.

Demonic seed?

Judging from the black fog it spat out…

Most likely!

He never expected that the one sealed in the game rift was actually this squirrel-like little guy in front of him?

Gu Qingzhu said, "Fang Heng, we are being tracked by the Federation. With so many people together, we are too concentrated. We will be targeted very soon."

Fang Heng then looked at the people of the Mundt Gang and asked, "What suggestions do you have?"

"We, the Mutt Gang, will disappear for a period of time. We will gather the gang members after the storm has passed. Brother Fang Heng, I will hand you an address. We will wait for you there."

Fang Heng took the note from Meng Ruhui and nodded, "Yes, keep in touch. The Federation is tracking us. If we stay together now, it will only cause trouble for you. See you again after we find a way to remove the tracking mark."

Meng Ruhui nodded and said, "Alright."

Fang Heng looked at Fana.

Fana nodded and spoke, "Fang Heng, this isn't our first time working together. There's no need to be so polite. I've completed my mission, and I have to return to Black Castle to report. I wish you a pleasant cooperation in advance. Take care."

"Definitely!"

With that, Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu quickly dispersed from the crowd and scattered in different directions outside the black fog.

…

An hour later, Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu stopped a car on the road and quickly drove away from the City of Darkness.

"The phantom shadow rat…"

In the car, Gu Qingzhu listened to what Fang Heng had seen and heard in the holy land of the Mundt Gang. She could not assist but think.

She glanced at Fang Heng's bulging pocket in the passenger seat and said, "I think your judgment is correct. The phantom shadow rat has undergone the 'Sloth' ritual and successfully obtained part of Sloth's power."

Fang Heng thought of the mission related to the demonic seed that he had received before and asked, "What does 'part of' mean?"

"Before the acceptance ritual, I heard Xia Xi mention that because of the compatibility, everyone can bear the power of the demonic seed differently. Sometimes, it's difficult to find a suitable candidate."

"Therefore, Xia Xi used some means to divide the power of the demonic seed into many parts. As the power of the demonic seed is weakened, some people with lower compatibility have a chance of completing the ritual…"

"Hold the ritual first. Once the ritual is completed, as the body gradually fuses with the demonic seed, the body's strength and compatibility with the demonic seed will also gradually increase until they can completely accommodate the entire demonic seed."

Gu Qingzhu recalled the situation at that time and continued, "The ritual I carried out at that time was only a part of the demonic seed. Before the ritual, Xia Xi provided me with a part of her power to help me improve my body's strength and adaptability. Unfortunately, it failed in the end."

"Yes…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself.

There was also the saying that the demonic seed was divided.

Then, was the demonic seed in his body the whole demonic seed?

Fang Heng glanced up again and asked, "Now we can verify that Sloth's demonic seed has been divided into many parts. I've received a relevant mission. How can I find the remaining part of the demonic seed?"

"I can't assist you with that." Gu Qingzhu pondered for a moment and continued, "The people of the Mundt Gang are all believers of Sloth. They can sense the existence of Sloth. If we find them, we should be able to get a hint for the next phase of the mission."

1874 Learning

"Alright."

Fang Heng nodded.

At present, the members of the Mundt Gang had scattered to avoid the Federation's pursuit. They would regroup with them after a period of time.

The trouble was that there was also pollution in the real world.

If there were Sloth's believers, would Jealousy's believers also be in the real world?

Fang Heng felt a sense of urgency.

In addition, there were unexpected gains on this trip.

If he could ally with Sloth's believers, he would have more confidence in dealing with Jealousy.

It would be best if he could find a few more useful trump cards.

Gu Qingzhu piloted the car all the way to the nearest train station.

"Where are we going next?"

"I haven't decided yet. The black fog released by the phantom shadow rat can block perception. It can help us affect the tracking accuracy of the Federation's imprint. The Federation can only lock onto a rough area of our range. According to my estimation, it's about 500 kilometers in radius."

"This is good news for us. However, the shackles on our bodies are still there. We are not completely safe yet."

Gu Qingzhu thought for a moment and said, "I want to find a place with a high population density for six days, such as some large cities. On one hand, large cities are densely populated and suitable for us to hide so that the Federation can't accurately locate us. On the other hand, in a densely populated city, the Federation will also be worried about the spread of pollution to the public and won't take radical action."

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and felt that it made sense.

The Federation's tracking system was not completely ineffective. It was just that the accuracy had been reduced by dozens of times, and they could only lock onto a certain area.

In that case, it would be impossible for him to hide in the Necromancer Association. He couldn't bring trouble back to the Necromancer Association.

It was better to follow Gu Qingzhu's instructions to save trouble.

After all, Gu Qingzhu had plenty of experience dealing with the Federation.

Too many things had happened since he killed the two people from the Holy Court last night. In fact, only one day had passed.

Fang Heng needed some time to organize his thoughts.

Fang Heng opened the window and looked at the scenery outside. Suddenly, he thought of something. He looked up and asked, "There's something I've been wanting to ask you. I was handling some troublesome matters and I didn't have the time to ask you."

"What is it?"

"The first time I saw you, you were seriously injured. You were ambushed by the Federation, right? I'm curious, what were you guys doing at Haines School?"

Gu Qingzhu was silent for a moment.

Fang Heng saw that Gu Qingzhu still had some misgivings about him, so he did not force her. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it. Pretend I didn't ask."

Gu Qingzhu pursed her lips and was silent for a few seconds. Then, she asked, "Do you still remember what I told you about us demi-humans being imprisoned by the Federation and forced to undergo experiments?"

Fang Heng frowned.

The Federation had once conducted inhumane human experiments on demi-humans.

He had also seen some related reports on the Dark Net.

Now, it seemed that these things were all true.

"Yes, I remember."

"After the incident was exposed, the Central Federation quickly blocked the news. Under the pressure of the demi-humans, all the research institutes and laboratories that were targeting the demi-humans were demolished, and the relevant person-in-charge were punished."

"It seems that everything has fallen to the ground. What is laughable is that a few years ago, we discovered that the experiment was still going on. Instead of being open, they moved it underground. Right now, a lot of demi-human beings are still being persecuted by Federation!"

"The Federation is secretly conducting a higher-level demi-human experiment. We found out that some of the research was split up and disguised as being subcontracted. It was awarded to an expert project team in Haines School for research."

"The project team doesn't know that this research is related to the demi-humans. Only the contact person of the project, the honorary principal of Haines School, Shao Guorui, knows about it. Our people entered Haines School because they want to infiltrate into the project team and investigate the secret laboratory for demi-humans."

As Gu Qingzhu spoke, she clenched the steering wheel in her hands tightly. Her cold eyes were filled with anger.

"Fang Heng, they have never reflected on their actions."

Fang Heng said softly, "I'm sorry."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Gu Qingzhu took a deep breath and stared ahead, "It's my problem. This time, it was my lack of experience that allowed the Federation to discover something. I even made my companions pay the price with their lives."

Fang Heng turned his head and saw that Gu Qingzhu's eyes were a little red.

Tears welled up in Gu Qingzhu's eyes.

The sacrifice of her companions made her feel guilty.

Fang Heng patted Gu Qingzhu's shoulder gently.

"This is not your fault."

Gu Qingzhu did not expect Fang Heng to comfort her. When Fang Heng felt her, her body trembled slightly.

She did not dodge or continue to speak.

After a moment, Gu Qingzhu's emotions eased a little. She continued, "Fang Heng, you're not good at comforting people, but thank you."

"Uh…"

Gu Qingzhu composed herself and asked, "What about you? How did you know Xia Xi?"

"Speaking of which, you might think that I'm lying to you."

Fang Heng shook his head and said, "To be honest, most of my previous memories have disappeared. I only remember that I went through some kind of ritual. I only have a few memories of the ritual. In the images, I saw Xia Xi. I don't remember anything else related, nor do I remember the promise I made with Xia Xi."

"After that, I entered the world of Watts. It was there that I learned that the ritual I had experienced was associated to the demonic seed. I almost died there."

As he spoke, Fang Heng laughed at himself, "But it seems that my luck is not bad. The demonic seed ritual on me has succeeded."

Gu Qingzhu asked, "Why did you come to Haines School? When I saw you that night, were you captured by the Federation? Did they find out your identity?"

Recalling the situation at that time, Gu Qingzhu felt a little strange.

If the Federation found out that Fang Heng was a demonic seed, they would definitely take a more stable action. They would not have captured Fang Heng so easily.

"Yes, I happened to be in some trouble. When you saw me, I was being investigated by the Federation." Fang Heng shrugged and continued, "As for going to Haines School, it's to study."

"My academic foundation is relatively weak. I haven't gone through systematic learning. Secondly, I'm a little lost about my future path of improvement. I just desired to learn systematically and settle down, hoping to find a clear learning path. I didn't expect…"

Thinking about it carefully, he had even paid a lot of tuition fees in advance at Haines School and bought a lot of course materials.

This identity was completely useless now.

The tuition fees and teaching materials were all wasted.

What a loss!

Fang Heng was sighing when he realized that Gu Qingzhu had fallen silent for a long time.

"Hey, why aren't you talking? Do you think I don't look like I'm here to study?"

"No, it isn't."

Gu Qingzhu reflected for a moment and viewed up, "What you just uttered reminded me. I thought of a place. We should be able to safely pass the remaining six days there."

Gu Qingzhu glanced at Fang Heng from the corner of her eyes and said, "And it won't affect your studies."

"Oh?"

1875 The Library

Along the way, Fang Heng and Gu Qingzhu first drove to the train station, blended in with the crowd, and got on the train to leave the Central Federation. After that, they continued to hitch a ride and bought a second-hand car from a second-hand car shop.

The next evening, the two of them drove to a super-sized hotel in the city center.

At this moment, the two of them had already entered the territory of the North District Federation.

Based on Fang Heng's general understanding of the North District Federation, their governance was relatively loose among the various large alliances, and its regional attribute was extremely high.

The North District Federation was the one with the lowest degree of obedience to the Central Federation.

Moreover, the people of the North District Federation were tough.

It was as if they were going to fight at the slightest disagreement.

Fang Heng came down from the parking lot and followed Gu Qingzhu into the elevator to the first floor of the hotel.

"What is this place?"

"Library of the Myriad Worlds."

"Huh?"

Fang Heng had never heard of it.

"It's a library set up in the real world by a mysterious intelligent race in the game. It shares information with the library in the game. You can access most of the academic materials here, and you can also enjoy one-on-one professional skills coaching and training."

Gu Qingzhu stepped out of the elevator and entered the first floor of the hotel with Fang Heng.

"Hello."

Two attendants in black suits standing at the elevator entrance bowed in unison.

"Welcome to the Library of the Myriad Worlds."

Fang Heng looked at the attendant beside him and his heart skipped a beat.

He could not feel any lifeblood fluctuation from the other party's body!

Fang Heng stared at the attendant, the alchemy array in his pupils rapidly revolving!

Under the effect of the omniscient eye, Fang Heng could see the internal structure of the attendant.

The attendant was a mechanical creature!

"Welcome back, Ms. Amanda. Your VIP room has been automatically allocated. You can go to Room No. 2341 to rest."

As they spoke, the mechanical attendants turned to look at Fang Heng.

Gu Qingzhu explained to Fang Heng, "There are two conditions to enter the Library of the Myriad Worlds. The first is to obtain the qualifications through the early game mission line or the recommendation of a referee. The second method is to obtain a temporary identity, but there are many restrictions on the temporary identity."

"The library in the real world has ties with the Federation. The Federation may investigate your identity information. For safety reasons, use your temporary identity this time."

Fang Heng nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Gu Qingzhu handed an identity card to the mechanical attendant and continued, "This is my husband. Grant him the authority of my secondary card and temporary identity. Open up my point sharing authority."

"Alright, I'm executing the password for you…"

The android received the order and looked at Fang Heng. The built-in camera recorded Fang Heng's facial information. It opened its hand again and handed over the original ID card and the other duplicate secondary card respectfully, "Please keep your secondary card."

Fang Heng took the magnetic card and put it in his pocket.

"You'll need points to live here. There are more than 3,000 points on the card. It's enough for you. The room resources are limited. We only have one room."

"Alright."

Fang Heng followed Gu Qingzhu to the elevator on the other side.

"By the way, is there a game passage here?"

"Game passage?"

"Game cabin."

When Gu Qingzhu heard Fang Heng's question, she looked at him in surprise, "What do you want that for?"

Fang Heng was also baffled.

What else could he do with a game cabin?

Of course, it was for him to enter the game.

He counted on his fingers and realized that he had not logged into the game for almost two days.

He couldn't log into the game using the demi-human's special method, but there shouldn't be a problem with the normal method, right?

Fang Heng felt that Gu Qingzhu's question was a little strange. He nodded and replied, "I haven't been in the game for a while. I want to use the game cabin to return to the game and take a look."

Gu Qingzhu looked Fang Heng up and down as if she just saw another side of him.

Using a game cabin?

The demi-humans could enter the game cabin using human methods?

What kind of joke was this?

Fang Heng saw Gu Qingzhu's expression and thought of the demi-human race's special ability. He explained, "My physique is a little abnormal. I can enter the game with the help of the game cabin. The seal the Federation left on us won't affect the game cabin, right?"

"I'm not sure." Gu Qingzhu frowned and walked out of the elevator. She continued walking forward and said, "There's a game cabin in the room. There are too many people here. Let's go back first."

Soon, Gu Qingzhu found a room and swiped her card to enter.

The room was very large, with a floor area of more than 120 square meters, and was decorated beautifully.

It was more like a hotel apartment.

There were also two guest rooms.

Fang Heng did not care about that. After seeing the game cabin in the studio, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"I'll go into the game to take a look first."

"Alright."

Gu Qingzhu said coldly. She stood at the side and looked at Fang Heng quietly.

She had seen Fang Heng enter the game using the demi-human method, so she was sure that Fang Heng was a demi-human.

But the game cabin?

Wasn't this a method that only humans could enter the game?

However, Fang Heng did not seem to be lying.

Fang Heng felt a little helpless when Gu Qingzhu stared at him and said, "Alright, alright. I know I'm very strange, but you don't have to stare at me like that. I'll show you. Oh right, I'll leave it to you to take care of it."

As he spoke, Fang Heng pointed at the phantom shadow rat on his shoulder.

"Squeak squeak!!"

The phantom shadow rat could not enter the game, so it could only jump off Fang Heng's shoulder and watch from the side.

As he spoke, Fang Heng pressed the game cabin button.

Under Gu Qingzhu's suspicious gaze, Fang Heng lay down in the game cabin.

"Buzz…"

The game cabin vibrated weakly for half a second, and then the indicator light outside the cabin lit up, indicating that it had entered a stable operating state.

He had entered the game!

What exactly was…

What was going on?

Gu Qingzhu stared at the signal displayed by the game cabin and frowned. She could not understand at all.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak…"

Gu Qingzhu turned her head and saw the phantom shadow rat barking at her on the ground.

The phantom shadow rat tilted its head and looked at Gu Qingzhu with an adorable expression.

Gu Qingzhu also stared at the phantom shadow rat.

Perhaps it was because Gu Qingzhu had also undergone the ritual of Sloth, the demonic seed, in the past, so the phantom shadow rat was very familiar with her aura and had a good impression of her.

The human and the rat looked at each other for a moment. Gu Qingzhu asked hesitantly, "Are you hungry? Let's not care about him anymore. I'll bring you to eat something delicious, okay?"

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The phantom shadow rat understood Gu Qingzhu's words and immediately became excited. It instantly jumped onto Gu Qingzhu's shoulder.

A smile appeared on Gu Qingzhu's cold face for the first time.

"Yes, yes, go, go, go!"

…

[Hint: The player has got into the game.]

[Hint: The player's status has been detected to be abnormal. The player has entered a special abnormal state. Some abilities are restricted.]

Success!

When Fang Heng understood that he had successfully returned to the match after the game cabin's verification, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he could enter the match through the normal game cabin. Otherwise, he would not be able to enter the game for at least seven days.

Following that, numerous match notifications flashed by rapidly.

1876 It's Alright

[Hint: When you went offline, your zombie clone () killed elementary life form*57,000, mid-tier life forms*27,000, high-tier life forms*12,000, and unknown life forms*22,000…]

[Hint: Your zombie clone has completed the collection of resources…]

[Hint: Your zombie clone is under attack…]

[Hint: After the effect of 'mutant infection', you have obtained an additional…]

It took more than ten seconds before it stopped.

Before Fang Heng went offline, he gave the order to farm monsters in a loop.

As for the zombie clone's talent, after it advanced and obtained the strengthening effect of 'mutant infection', it would continuously create new zombie clones through 'mutant infection.'

It directly caused the game hint to increase by hundreds of times.

Fang Heng flipped through more than ten pages, but he still felt that his mind was still in a daze. It was not like before when he could grab useful information with a quick glance.

Therefore, Fang Heng simply skimmed through the game hints and directly checked the communication message sent by the survival radio.

Most of the comments were from Lu Yanlong.

There were also a few messages from Mo Jiawei.

Mo Jiawei had received a message from the Central Federation to confirm if he was safe and needed help.

Fang Heng immediately replied, saying that he had already escaped and there was no need to worry about him.

As for Lu Yanlong, it was a little complicated.

A series of game hints made Fang Heng a little confused.

[Lu Yanlong: Mr. Fang, where are you? We're in big trouble. The Federation has discovered a zombie horde. They're reacting very strongly and have gathered a large group of people. They might want to attack us. If it's convenient, please send us a message. Thank you.]

[Lu Yanlong: Mr. Fang, the Federation has sent a team to scout the area. Many zombies are gathered in the periphery. They will meet the Federation. Is it really okay?]

[Lu Yanlong: Mr. Fang, the problem is solved. It's okay now.]

[Lu Yanlong: Mr. Fang! The Federation has officially launched an attack. They have raised the danger level of the mausoleum world and are gathering teams. It seems that they are preparing to officially deal with the zombie horde. Can you come over and take a look when you have time?]

[Lu Yanlong: Mr. Fang, sorry for the delay. Everything's fine now.]

[Lu Yanlong: Bad news, Mr. Fang. The Federation has launched a general attack. The twelve corporations and many large player guilds have accepted the mission and will clean up the zombies together. Is it convenient for you to contact them, Mr. Fang?]

[Lu Yanlong: Mr. Fang, sorry to disturb you. I was too shocked…]

[Lu Yanlong: The elite team of the advanced game will join the battle this time. They will launch a general attack tonight. The situation is not good. Mr. Fang, I will arrange for some people to evacuate first. What do you think?]

[Lu Yanlong: It's okay, Mr. Fang. I was too nervous.]

"Oh…"

In response to Lu Yanlong's message, Fang Heng muttered to himself and carefully flipped through the game log.

It had only been two days.

The mausoleum world had undergone a huge change because of the hack before he went offline.

The large number of zombie clones that he left behind, after receiving the effect of the strengthened innate skill, 'mutation spread', immediately began to spread in an exaggerated manner.

After the Federation discovered the zombie horde, they were shocked. After a few tests, they confirmed the strength of the zombies and were even more surprised. They raised the danger level of the world again.

Originally, the Federation was prepared to gradually occupy the mausoleum world and even planned to develop it.

Due to the sudden appearance of the zombie horde, the Federation had no choice but to postpone the plan.

After that, the Federation had a total of seven battles with live zombies!

Fang Heng saw through the game hint that his zombie clones had lost more than they had won.

There was only one tie, and he lost the other six times.

After all, he wasn't online, and the intelligence of ordinary zombie clones wasn't high, so they were targeted by the Federation.

But later…

The strange thing was that the Federation had actually cowered?

Why didn't they just hide and defend?

What was going on?

Didn't his zombie clones lose?

Fang Heng opened his mouth and pondered for a moment. He sent a message to Lu Yanlong and ran to the mausoleum game world to take a look at the situation.

In fact, in the mausoleum world, the Federation was already scratching their heads. They couldn't figure out where these mutated zombies came from.

The people of the Black Castle had clearly escaped, but they had left them with such a big problem!

It wasn't difficult for a small elite team of high-level players to deal with the mutated zombies. However, it would be very difficult for the opponent to use the undead sea tactic to exhaust you.

Humans would get tired. Resources were also quickly consumed in the battle. Not to mention, there were no benefits from dealing with mutated zombies. There was not even a little reward for killing them.

It was just pure consumption of resources.

However, in terms of consumption, the zombie clones did not have to worry about it. After a wave of consumption, there would be a second wave of replenishment.

The Federation couldn't see any hope of eliminating the zombie horde.

The twelve corporations had only joined the battle in the mausoleum world because they saw that there were benefits to be gained. They did not expect that they would be constantly exhausted by the mutated zombies for the past two days. They did not even see any benefits. Soon, they could not sit still and prepared to leave.

Thus, two days later, the Federation began to change their tactics and retreat into defense.

It wasn't that they couldn't conquer them head-on.

But what about after the fight?

The undead crowd seemed endless.

Pure consumption was meaningless!

Anyway, the mutated zombies didn't have any intention of attacking.

In addition, the crisis in the Black Castle had come to an end, and the high-tier elite team had things to do. They would not continue to waste time here and would leave soon.

After thinking about it, the Federation's commander felt that it was better to mess things up.

He could just hide in his shell. He had already completed most of the missions on his hands. The rest of the matters would be handed over to the wiser descendants.

He would let the next person take over this mess.

When Starfish Company saw this situation, they were overjoyed.

Mr. Fang was so powerful!

Originally, they had only harbored a simple wish to get some benefits from the Federation.

With Mr. Fang's ability and the spatial teleportation passage, they could at least get some ores from the Federation.

Better than nothing!

They had never expected this!

Mr. Fang gave them another big surprise.

The entire Federation was defeated by Mr. Fang!

Lu Yanlong recalled how anxious he was when the Federation attacked the undead mob and sent messages to Mr. Fang nonstop. He felt like a clown.

No wonder Mr. Fang didn't reply.

He wasn't panicking at all.

Everything was under control.

Seeing Fang Heng online again, Lu Yanlong hurried over to greet him.

"Haha, Mr. Fang, it's been a long time. You've been a great help this time. Even the Federation couldn't conquer the undead mob you summoned, and they're hiding in the campsite, not daring to show themselves!"

Lu Yanlong first started to boast.

1877 Beast Taming

"Hmm, it seems like the situation is not bad?"

"Very good!"

The materials collected by the zombies were continuously transported back to the Zombie Apocalypse world through several teleportation passages in the current mausoleum world. After being transferred by the Zombie Apocalypse world, they were sent to the Starfish Company for external sales.

In two days, Starfish Company made a lot of money.

Lu Yanlong was already able to see the amount of his share on his account. He was in a good mood and gave Fang Heng a thumbs up.

Fang Heng nodded and said, "I'll have to trouble your Starfish Company for the sales. Also, there's something else. I'm really short of King of Gods' points right now. It's very difficult to get them because of the transaction limit. I was wondering if you guys could do something about it."

Lu Yanlong immediately perked up.

Mr. Fang was a big client.

In the face of big customers, it was Starfish Company's principle to grant all requests.

Lu Yanlong thought for a moment and nodded, "There are no suitable missions at the moment. We will keep an eye out for them. We will reply to you as soon as we have any news."

"Thank you very much."

Fang Heng waved his hand.

With the strengthening effect of the mutated infection talent, the zombie clone's group farming ability and expansion ability had been greatly improved.

But even so, he did not want to continue fighting the Federation head-on.

After all, there was no need for that.

There were only so many materials in the mausoleum world, and he wouldn't be able to earn much after digging up all the resources.

There was no need to forcefully occupy a mausoleum world.

If they continued to fight with the Federation, the Federation might discover some clues about the zombie clones.

There was no need.

He should stop after he emptied the place.

Fang Heng thought about it and said, "In addition, we have other things to do. We'll finish collecting supplies as soon as possible. Three days. I need to finish immediately after three days. You arrange it and think of a way to gather high-value materials first."

"So urgent?"

Lu Yanlong raised his eyebrows and agreed immediately, "Alright, I'll make the arrangements now."

After spending time with Fang Heng, Lu Yanlong had already thought it through.

Mr. Fang had his reasons for all his choices.

After all, the situation was there.

He couldn't understand why. It was just that he wasn't standing high enough.

He didn't understand now, but he would understand in the future.

It was also good. He did not have to think about anything. He just had to be a toolman and do his job well.

Lu Yanlong nodded and immediately proceeded to make arrangements.

After Fang Heng finished arranging his online schedule, he realized that Mo Jiawei was not around. He left a message for Mo Jiawei through the survival radio to set a time to meet him the next day, then hurriedly went offline.

…

It was temporarily safe online, so Fang Heng returned offline.

Eh?

Where was she?

Where did she go?

Fang Heng walked out of the game cabin. After walking around the room, he realized that Gu Qingzhu was not there.

"Kikimi?"

Fang Heng tried to shout again.

Why was the phantom shadow rat also abducted?

It couldn't be…

Fang Heng was puzzled. Just as he was about to go out to the guest room to take a look, he happened to see Gu Qingzhu, who had just opened the door and returned.

Gu Qingzhu was in a good mood.

However, when she opened the door and saw Fang Heng, the smile on her face returned to its usual coldness.

"You want to go out?"

"Ah, I'm looking for it."

Fang Heng pointed at the phantom shadow rat on Gu Qingzhu's shoulder.

Gu Qingzhu said, "I just brought it out to eat something."

Indeed, it could be seen that compared to before, the phantom shadow rat's body was much fatter.

"Burp…"

Hearing Gu Qingzhu's words, the phantom shadow rat burped comfortably.

Fang Heng gazed at the phantom shadow rat on Gu Qingzhu's shoulder, which seemed very intimate with her, and suddenly felt like he had been wronged.

Gu Qingzhu walked into the room and asked, "Is everything going well in the game?"

"Yeah, it's alright. I've been able to get online smoothly. I've pretty much settled some things in the game."

"That's good. I'll bring it to take a bath later. It hasn't showered in decades. It's too unsanitary. It needs to wash up properly…"

"Squeak!!"

The phantom shadow rat squeaked again after hearing her words. Gu Qingzhu gently pressed her nose with one finger and said, "Be obedient."

Huh?

Fang Heng blinked his eyes when he witnessed that the phantom shadow rat had stopped squeaking.

Was it really that obedient?

…

The Library of the Myriad Worlds was one of the top ten star-rated hotels in the North District Federation.

Many of the players' requests could be fulfilled here.

The only thing he needed to pay was the balance of the points in the card.

After Fang Heng had a hearty meal in the restaurant on the second floor, he swiped Gu Qingzhu's card and lay comfortably on the chair.

The events in the game had temporarily come to an end. He could calm down and think about his next move.

First of all, there was something that needed to be dealt with urgently.

It was related to the phantom shadow rat.

The phantom shadow rat's body had fused with a portion of Sloth's power.

Without a doubt, this kind of power was what he needed now.

The friendliness between the phantom shadow rat and Gu Qingzhu just now made Fang Heng even more cautious.

Although the phantom shadow rat was very friendly with him, he was still a little worried.

What if it was kidnapped one day?

The phantom shadow rat was very strong, and there was still a risk of losing control.

If he was not careful, the entire world would be contaminated.

This would not do!

There was a way to solve this problem.

Beast taming.

It was a relatively unpopular academic field in the game.

Through the beast taming skill, players could form a cooperative contract with most creatures and even understand the language of some magical beasts.

Of course, this skill was considered 'trash' by most players in the game.

After all, they had spent so much effort to get a magical pet in the early stages of the game. Its true combat ability was not as practical as getting a gun.

Not to mention, he had to take care of his companion's food and drink.

In the later stages of the game, players would often choose more practical academic skills because of the game's punishment mechanism.

In addition, it was very difficult for high-tier magical pets to form a contract with humans. High-tier magical beasts had low obedience and their friendliness decreased rapidly…

All these disadvantages made the players feel that this was a rather useless skill.

In the past, Fang Heng could not use it, but now that he had a need, he could learn it.

He was not certain if it would work. In any case, he could give it a try first.

After all, he had the zombie duplicates that could quickly level up his skills, which gave him a huge advantage over ordinary players.

Fang Heng stood up from the recliner.

He had heard Gu Qingzhu mention that the Library of the Myriad Worlds was a place for academic practice.

Perhaps he could ask someone and learn about beast taming.

After returning to the game, he would use the power of the zombie duplicates to see if he could level up his skills.

Fang Heng pondered about it and motioned for an android attendant to come over and ask where he could find academic materials.

"Hello, Mr. Amanda. You can find the corresponding books at the information desk on the third floor to borrow and inquire about the relevant commissions to obtain them. If you don't find the course you want to study, you can also post the course learning commission mission at the information desk."

1878 Entrustment

"In addition, you can enjoy book reading at the reading hall located on floors 7 through 12. Books can be borrowed after registration, but they must remain within the premises of the hotel. Please ensure the books are kept in good condition. Thank you."

Book borrowing…Seemed like a good idea.

He might find books related to beast taming.

Fang Heng pondered and decided to take the elevator to the seventh-floor reading hall to assess the situation.

The elevator opened onto a sizable reading hall.

The entire floor was set up like a library.

Players were scattered around tables, engrossed in reading.

Following the signs, Fang Heng purposefully searched until he found his target amid a stack of bookshelves in a corner.

There were twelve bookshelves.

They were laden with books on beast taming.

About eighty books per shelf, estimated to be around a thousand books!

And they were focused on the rather obscure subject of beast taming.

The Library of the Myriad Worlds lived up to its name.

Thinking about it, Fang Heng reached for a book on the shelf.

A game Hint flashed across his vision.

[Hint: Player has discovered the book, "Communicating with Magical Pets".]

[Hint: This book is safeguarded. Placing it in your backpack without permission will attract hostility from certain characters.]

"Good. The game acknowledged the books." Fang Heng thought to himself. It eased Fang Heng's mind somewhat.

Next, he needed to confirm if bringing the book into the game world would cause any other effects.

If it didn't affect him, he could utilize the game's abilities to bring the book back and have the zombie clone assist in reading it!

A quick boost in skill experience points!

Not just in beast taming, but in other academics too!

Fang Heng felt he stumbled upon a significant treasure.

If he could transport all the books from the Library of the Myriad Worlds into the game world for the zombie clone to read…

That efficiency far surpassed attending classes at school!

Feeling like he had unearthed another game bug for swiftly gaining skill experience points, he casually picked up ten books on beast taming and proceeded to the front desk for borrowing and registration.

Behind the counter, the mechanical attendant checked the books and inquired, "You wish to borrow ten books. It requires a total deposit of 7260 points. Damages to the books will incur proportional compensation. Additionally, borrowing for a few days will cost 126 points."

So expensive?

Fang Heng was taken aback.

He recalled having only slightly over 3000 points on his card. He had spent a mere 0.03 points on a feast earlier.

"Each book's value and rarity determine the deposit and borrowing fee."

"Forget it, I only need this one."

Fang Heng didn't argue further. He picked out a book from the thick stack and presented it for registration. Then he inquired again, "How do I obtain points on the card? Is it through currency exchange? What's the exchange rate?"

"I'm sorry, sir. Knowledge is invaluable."

"Huh?"

"Of course, you can exchange knowledge for knowledge. You can take on some of the commissions at the Library of the Myriad Worlds. Completing these commissions earns points. Furthermore, aiding the library in expanding its collection also earns points."

"In addition, the library collaborates with the outside world and offers some external cooperation commissions. These specific commissions require leaving the library premises to complete. Fulfilling them also rewards points."

It seemed earning points wasn't as straightforward.

The Library of the Myriad Worlds. Intriguing…

"That's where the challenge lies!" He thought.

Muttering to himself, Fang Heng nodded, "I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome. Your book borrowing registration is complete. You may take the book with you, but please refrain from taking it outside the Library of the Myriad Worlds."

Fang Heng accepted the book.

The additional game Hint in the book had altered.

[Hint: You've borrowed this book. Failing to return it within the specified time will decrease your friendship with the Library of the Myriad World and result in a reduced favorability rating from some characters.]

He decided back to the room!

First, he would test if bringing books into the game world could yield experience, then figure out a way to earn points.

Ten minutes later, Fang Heng brought the registered book to his room, stowed it in the game backpack, and smoothly entered the game cabin to return to the world.

[Hint: Your zombie clone is using the skill 'Efficient Reading' to read the book 'Communicating with Magical Peta'.]

Fang Heng observed as the zombie clone began reading the book, a channeling bar slowly advancing above its head. Satisfied, he logged off once more.

Today seemed unusually smooth, everything proceeding according to plan.

The next step was finding a method to accrue more points.

Reading book after book was too slow.

His undead duplicate was his ace.

He needed to step up his game!

Fang Heng headed to the mission commission hall on the third floor to investigate.

At the information desk, Fang Heng engaged in a one-on-one conversation with the mechanical counselor, getting a grasp of some key information.

Any valuable books could be exchanged for points at the Library of the Myriad Worlds.

Finding rare books would certainly bring in a substantial haul.

This was the primary source of points for ordinary players.

Moreover, players could document their personal experiences and insights across various academic fields in books.

Upon completion, the Library of the Myriad Worlds would evaluate these writings.

However, for players not adept at writing, the Library of the Myriad Worlds offered mechanical servants to aid in book creation.

This service came at a cost in points.

For most players, their volume reviews often yielded very low ratings, making them nearly impossible to exchange for points. They also had to pay for the assistance to write these books.

In essence, writing books was a losing endeavor!

Glancing at the mechanical counselor again, Fang Heng continued, "Are there any missions suitable for me? It seems most of the tasks here involve imparting academic information and tutoring."

Fang Heng still felt a tinge of guilt.

His academic level had been forcefully elevated by Mission rewards and experience points.

Establishing a solid foundation in the information system was elusive.

If he still had points, he might consider hiring a professional to explain things thoroughly.

Fang Heng believed that, with his current capabilities, he could at best dupe a gamer just entering the foundational discipline level.

"We can conduct a specialized series of tests for you. Following the tests, we'll assess your level and recommend a fitting mission."

Fang Heng furrowed his brow.

Gu Qingzhu had cautioned him previously that the corresponding exam would record his identity and various academic skills, potentially leading to data leaks.

Presently bound to the identity of Ms. Amanda's husband, which was essentially anonymous, undergoing the exam and registration might expose his information to the Federation.

It increased the risk of Federation detection.

"No need for the test."

Fang Heng declined the testing invitation. "Give me a commission form. Exclude those in the teaching category. I'd like to see requests from all other types."

"Understood."

The mechanical consultant promptly printed out the list, handing it to Fang Heng. "Here's the recent request list categorized by type. Please review."

1879 Denied

Fang Heng took the form and perused it, his brow creasing in concern.

Nearly all the listed commissions demanded specialized knowledge.

For most commissions, master-level academics could only fulfill the lowest entry-level requirements.

It was challenging.

For missions like writing and selling books, even if he didn't eat or drink for 24 hours, it would still take him at least two days to finish a book with the help of the mechanical servant.

He still didn't know if the finished book was worth money or if it could be sold. It was too time-consuming, and he rejected it.

The secure missions issued by the Library of the Myriad Worlds demanded leaving the hotel premises for completion.

The commission points were enticing.

However, the risk of leaving the hotel was too perilous.

Fang Heng immediately dismissed this option.

Continuing to flip through the pages, Fang Heng's brows suddenly lifted.

Ah, there it was!

Alchemy!

The only commission that seemed fitting for him was probably in the realm of alchemy.

Alchemy commissions differed from most academic pursuits. They were practical, seeking solutions in exchange for compensation.

For instance, resolving an alchemy academic issue.

This was promising!

Fang Heng was intrigued.

With his omniscient eyes, as well as his high-tier alchemy and the inheritance of the Saint of Alchemy, he felt that solving specific problems was far easier than teaching!

He could give it a shot!

"I need more information about commissions related to the arrangement of alchemy magic arrays."

The mechanical consultant promptly printed out a list and handed it to Fang Heng. "Here's the list you requested."

After Fang Heng reviewed the detailed descriptions of several missions, he felt somewhat uncertain. He wasn't sure if he could complete the tasks issued by these commissions, given the vague data in their descriptions.

Carefully comparing multiple sets of commission information, he eventually selected a mission that seemed the most manageable. "This is it. I need to confirm this commission."

"Alright, we'll register the mission immediately. Please provide your identity card. Kindly wait for a moment," the mechanical servant said, its eyes shimmering with a blue light.

"You've been charged 50 points as a security deposit for accepting this commission registration. Your identity card has been authorized. You can proceed to Room No. 3723 to fulfill the commission. I must remind you, failing this mission will result in subtractions from your points and reputation."

"Understood." Fang Heng nodded and took the identity card.

Accepting the commission required providing a points deposit. Failing would result in deductions from the points and reputation.

To save points, Fang Heng chose a commission without failure penalties. Even if unsuccessful, it would only slightly impact his completion rate.

"Let's go!" Fang Heng took the central elevator to the 37th floor.

The entire 37th level was dedicated to alchemy commission-related rooms.

Fang Heng swiped his identity card and entered Room No. 3723.

"Buzz…"

As Fang Heng stepped in, the room lit up.

A phantom of a magical array appeared on the floor.

"This is quite high-tech…" Fang Heng observed the magic array and murmured.

An electronic magical array layout.

No need for manual carving, it could be designed using an electronic interface.

The electronic version recorded every change and sequence made to the magic array.

Approaching the magic array, Fang Heng inspected the three magic arrays on the floor.

As per the mission assignment description, the client needed to make some basic modifications to the magic array so that it could teleport and adapt energy between two large magic arrays.

The client had designed one but found an 80% energy loss after passing through the middle magic array.

"Just as I suspected, a minor issue…"

Fang Heng quickly assessed the situation.

He had prepared in advance, feeling more confident after seeing the magic array.

For most ordinary players, these magical arrays posed significant challenges.

This was because solving a problem required mastering the corresponding skill.

It was also called skill adaptation.

Most alchemy players lacked the adaptability needed for generic solutions.

For instance, the current array needed knowledge in Occult, alchemy, spatial science, and elemental science to solve.

It demanded more than just foundational scholarly levels.

Otherwise… It wasn't impossible to overcome, but it required numerous time-consuming attempts, similar to trial and error.

Repeated trials. With no luck, it could take a while. Fortunately, Fang Heng was here to tackle it.

He might not have been an expert in everything, but Fang Heng knew a bit about most academics.

Combined with the omniscient eyes.

Fang Heng stood before the magic array, the reflection of its rapid spin appeared in his right eye.

"Simple…"

Fang Heng swiftly found a solution. He grabbed the electronic alchemy brush from the table, stood in place, and directly modified the electronic magic array on the floor.

Most of the magic array vanished by Fang Heng, leaving only a basic outline.

Fresh patterns were swiftly added.

Because no physical arrangement was needed, merely proposing a solution, completing the mission assignment turned out to be more convenient than Fang Heng anticipated.

In under five minutes, the magic array had been transformed.

Fang Heng flicked the electronic alchemy brush back onto the table. He glanced up at the corner monitor and said, "Mission submitted."

An electronic voice echoed in the room.

"The player has submitted a mission commission. The mission publisher has been notified for appraisal. Preliminary confirmation feedback will be provided within 12 hours. Upon feedback, the player will receive 30% of the reward. Full points will be granted within 48 hours post-verification."

"A reminder: Failure in verification will result in a deduction from the deposit and a decrease in your credibility points. Please be mindful."

"If dissatisfied with verification results, you can file a complaint at the service desk."

"Looks like it's going to take some time for the results. "Fang He thought and shrugged.

"Let's wait."

He was highly confident in the alchemy magic array he had devised.

It was just a medium-difficulty magic array.

With a reward of only 220 points.

Even if it was as small as a mosquito, it was still worth something.

"Let's go! Onward with the points farming!"

Fang Heng, in high spirits, returned to the assignment office on the third level and continued to search for similar missions.

This time, he had experience.

After scanning through the list, he accepted all the missions that had lower penalties for failure, as long as he felt confident, he could complete them.

1880 Insufficient Balance

Considering this, he could take on most commissions. After all, alchemy, in reality, often differed greatly from one's imagination or descriptions.

This disparity sometimes led to mission failures, so the commission issuers wouldn't set the failure penalties too high. Even if there were failures, the loss wouldn't be significant.

The only trouble was the mechanical consultant's eighth reminder to Fang Heng, "Amanda's husband, you've accepted 11 missions simultaneously. Failing these missions will result in penalties. Are you certain about accepting this particular mission?"

Fang Heng sighed in exasperation, "I know, this is the eighth time you've reminded me. Please deactivate this reminder service."

"Alright, your related commission risk alert service has been disabled. Amanda's husband, your deposit has been deducted, you've received your current commissions, and your identity card has been leveled."

"Huh? Such an operation existed?" He thought.

Fang Heng's curiosity was piqued. "Based on this list, arrange the reward points in descending order for me. Remove the first 30% of the tasks, and then eliminate those that carry a failure penalty or have a reputation score higher than 5 points. Afterward, assist me in batch-collecting the tasks and devising the fastest completion route."

"Hello, we've assisted you in batch collecting the tasks. You've submitted a deposit of 3112 points. Your current points aren't sufficient to take on additional tasks. Here's your identity card and the room route form for the tasks you've undertaken. Please review."

"Thank you." Fang Heng nodded contentedly as he took the identity card and the form list.

"Let's go! Keep at it!" Fang Heng kept inspiring himself.

…

In a private artificial hot spring, after enduring considerable damage, the phantom shadow rat luxuriated in the hot spring.

Gu Qingzhu quietly savored the leisure and relaxation after the intense battle.

Soaking in the hot spring helped alleviate physical and mental fatigue.

Gu Qingzhu raised her hand.

Approaching her, a mechanical attendant asked, "Hello, may I inquire what you require?"

"I'll have a cup of jasmine black tea," Gu Qingzhu said, glancing at the phantom shadow rat paddling in the hot spring. "Would you like something to drink?"

The phantom shadow rat spun around swiftly, revealing its head above the water. "Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"Yes, two cups, and two desserts," Gu Qingzhu confirmed.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Amanda, your remaining points aren't sufficient for this transaction."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingzhu was taken aback.

What was this lack of points about?

"Are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

"Yes, I'm certain. I'm sorry, Ms. Amanda, but your current credit balance is insufficient."

Gu Qingzhu opened her mouth, thinking about Fang Heng, who was linked to her supplementary card.

Fang Heng?

That was more than 3,000 points!

How could it disappear?

Where did all that money go?

Gu Qingzhu suddenly felt like she had been taken advantage of.

She wasn't wealthy. Points in the Library of the Myriad Worlds were hard to come by. She had painstakingly saved this money over a long period, bit by bit!

Gu Qingzhu glanced at the phantom shadow rat happily rolling and playing in the water. "Your master is something. He's spent all my savings. Get ready to work and pay me back."

"Squeak, squeak??"

The phantom shadow rat popped its head out of the water, looking bewildered.

Gu Qingzhu wasn't truly angry. Even if Fang Heng enjoyed himself, he couldn't spend that many points in the Library of the Myriad Worlds. From her interactions with Fang Heng, she didn't believe he was that kind of person.

So, what was the money used for?

Gu Qingzhu was even more curious. She looked at the mechanical servant and requested, "I need to know where the funds went. Give me a list."

"Okay, sorry, I need to update the information. Your husband just completed a commission, and your account received 255 points. This transaction can be completed. Do you still want it?"

Hmm? There were profits?

Gu Qingzhu was taken aback upon hearing this.

Why was there a profit?

As the mechanical servant spoke, it handed Gu Qingzhu the printed list of points. She took it, feeling bewildered.

Fang Heng's spending today was straightforward. Apart from some dining, drinking, and borrowing a book, which used a small portion of the points, the remaining 3,000 points were deposited for missions.

Looking at the packed list of around 40 commissions, Gu Qingzhu couldn't help but exclaim.

Did he accept so many commissions at once?

Was he out of his mind?

"Whoosh!"

The phantom shadow rat abruptly leaped out of the water and onto Gu Qingzhu's shoulder, gazing at the words on the paper with a tilted head, displaying an adorable expression.

It made no sense at all.

Gu Qingzhu flipped through the information form until the last few lines.

Just now, Fang Heng had submitted a project that was affirmed by the employer.

The employer gave a glowing review.

"Perfect solution! I never contemplated such a plan existed! Excellent work! I have a few associated research projects. If it's convenient, contact me. We can settle the payment in alternative ways…"

The employer even rewarded an additional 5 points.

So… Was Fang Heng making money?

Was he doing legitimate work?

Thinking about it, Gu Qingzhu crumpled the bill into a ball and tossed it aside, beckoning the phantom shadow rat over.

"Let's go. It's time for us to get to serious business."

…

Hua Weixing was a newly appointed instructor at the North District Central Academy.

This year marked his first involvement in the level evaluation.

In today's world, managing research projects was a massive challenge.

If there were no fresh results by year-end, the entire project might face cancellation.

He felt helpless.

The project encountered too many unsolvable difficulties.

Hua Weixing had given his all and continued to do so, exploring every legal method available.

"If this doesn't work, I'll have to seek help from the professor to find a way to postpone the project until next year. Then, I'll strive harder…"

Having completed today's analysis report and tomorrow's experiment plan at midnight, Hua Weixing was under immense pressure. He sighed deeply, and massaged his temples, preparing to rest.

Continuing at this pace would be too much for his body to handle…

"Ding-dong. You have a new email notification."

An email?

At this late hour?

It wasn't just him. Was everyone so hard-working?

Hua Weixing sighed inwardly and opened his mailbox.

The latest file awaited him.

[Message from the system: Dear customer of the Library of Myriad Worlds, your project has been completed. Please provide feedback within 12 hours. Delayed confirmation will result in hourly point deductions. No feedback after 48 hours will be considered mission completion.]

"Eh?"

Reading the email, Hua Weixing's heart skipped a beat.

The Library of Myriad Worlds.

He had invested considerable effort in the intermediate game, striving to complete a series of tasks before gaining access to the library.

Previously, he had merely experimented with issuing tasks in the Library of Myriad Worlds, just to see how it went.

1881 Reward

After all, he only had this lean number of points, and the compensation he could offer was far too little.

Even if he sought the help of a master, his two hundred-plus points wouldn't even cover a fraction of the cost.

Despite his thoughts, Hua Weixing, at the last moment, still harbored a glimmer of hope and posted a commission in the Library of the Myriad Worlds.

Why not give it a shot?

What if he stumbled upon it?

Hua Weixing had not set any penalties for failed missions. He simply hoped to lure more people into participating, thus increasing his chances of success.

Calculating the time, the mission had been listed in the Library of Myriad World for over two months without any response.

Hua Weixing had long dismissed this matter from his mind, even forgetting to retract the mission.

The origins of the Library of Myriad World in the game were shrouded in mystery.

Apart from its existence in his mid-tier game world, he had heard of a physical store in the offline Northern Federation.

Could it be that he had came across it?

Hua Weixing couldn't resist the temptation and left his office desk.

"Let's take a peek at the game!" Hua Weixing thought.

Upon logging in, Hua Weixing immediately rushed back to the Library of the Myriad Worlds and promptly located the magic array diagram obtained after completing the commission.

Huh?

With just one glance, Hua Weixing couldn't tear his gaze away.

Flawless composition!

Exquisite design!

Not a single superfluous element!

After scrutinizing the revamped alchemy magic array, Hua Weixing couldn't help but silently exclaim, "Brilliant!"

Whose masterpiece could this be?

Without the need for field verification, Hua Weixing was almost certain that this magic array had no flaws!

He had hit the jackpot this time!

This blueprint was worth its weight in gold to him!

It would unquestionably resolve the significant issue he was facing!

Hua Weixing was eager to peruse the commission details, eager to uncover the persona of the contributor.

However, upon seeing the name, Hua Weixing was left even more bewildered.

Amanda's husband?

No name at all?

Frowning at the commission recipient's information, Hua Weixing's brow furrowed.

It was a subsidiary allocation.

In the Library of the Myriad Worlds, a player's spouse or child could obtain a temporary additional card, valid for only a hundred hours.

"That's right!"

The laboratory still had numerous problems. Perhaps he could seek further assistance!

But concerning funds and points…

"No! I must report this to the professor immediately!" Hua Weixing thought.

Fang Heng toiled away the entire night on the alchemy magic arrays, finishing up all 40 or so commissions only by the next morning.

About 80% were easily manageable.

Another 15% posed a bit of a challenge, requiring some dedicated thinking time.

The remaining 5% were quite tough. After a 10-minute brainstorm, he found himself only having a faint idea.

Given more time, he might have cracked them, but Fang Heng felt he had come up short.

With this time, he could have completed other missions to earn points instead.

The prolonged contemplation and analysis left Fang Heng feeling a bit fuzzy-headed. He set aside the challenging problems, concluding it was time for a break and a mental shift.

Exiting from the 37th floor, Fang Heng returned to his room.

Gu Qingzhu wasn't around, but the phantom shadow rat lay sleeping on the bed, noticeably plumper compared to the previous night.

It seemed Gu Qingzhu had taken it out for a feast last night…

But where was Gu Qingzhu?

Fang Heng shrugged, not dwelling on it, and entered the game cabin to log in.

…

Within the game, Fang Heng was bombarded with various notifications.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has finished reading the book, "Communicating with Magical Pets".]

[Hint: The player currently lacks the necessary academic skills. The experience points gained will accumulate at a rate (current rate: 55%). Upon mastering the academic skill, the corresponding skill experience points will be immediately obtained.]

"This seems a bit complicated…" Fang Heng muttered to himself.

While reading could boost skill experience points, most academic skills couldn't be solely obtained through reading.

Reflecting on it, Fang Heng realized his current academic skills were partly from skill books rewarded in missions, another portion from NPC teachings, and the rest mastered through the unique effect of the omniscient eyes.

Beast taming wasn't part of the omniscient eyes' learning scope.

"Looks like I'll have to find another way to master that skill." Fang Heng thought to himself.

Just then, Mo Jiawei strolled into the hall and greeted, "Fang Heng, good morning. Heard your visit to the Central Federation wasn't smooth?"

"Yeah, word gets around," Fang Heng replied.

Mo Jiawei had returned early in the morning after receiving Fang Heng's message the previous day. He stepped into the hall and tapped Fang Heng's shoulder. "How did you end up getting involved with the Demi-Human Tribe again?"

"I'm wondering that too." Fang Heng shrugged, feeling helpless. "Should've taken you along if I'd known."

"Can we skip the metaphysics?" Mo Jiawei's expression soured at the mention of the topic. He diverted the conversation, continuing, "The Federation's folks came to the Necromancer Association two days ago looking for you. Don't worry, we arranged a stand-in and had the Necromancer Association cover for you. We've managed to hoodwink them. Even if they're suspicious, they lack solid evidence."

"Plus, you've got a few low-tier game worlds in your hands now. They won't dare to push you," Mo Jiawei assured.

"Yes, everything is under my control." Fang Heng nodded.

Mo Jiawei had some inside sources within the Federation, understanding that this matter alone wasn't a major issue. Pausing for a moment, he continued, "Nothing much else. Oh, Li Qingran asked about you several times. Seems like she's run into something. When I inquired, she brushed it off, not wanting to delay you."

"Yeah, noticed that."

"And about Ji Xiaobo…"

Every time Ji Xiaobo's name came up, Mo Jiawei felt a headache brewing. "He's been all over, talking about the grand revival plan for necromancy. I casually told him we're brainstorming ways to research the sacred great holy sword retrieved from the Punoze game world. I just wanted him to stay occupied…"

Mo Jiawei had no other recourse.

That sacred great holy sword was used by the Holy Court to seal a mysterious rift.

It couldn't be activated now, and Ji Xiaobo was associated with necromancy.

He wasn't suitable to solve this, nor was he skilled enough to research it!

Mo Jiawei had merely given Ji Xiaobo something to keep him occupied.

"It's bizarre. Seems he might have came across something… He insisted on meeting you again, claiming he's made a significant discovery. Fang Heng, why not visit him later?"

"Really?" Fang Heng's curiosity was piqued.

Ever since their collaboration on the Saintess Viona incident, Ji Xiaobo had been lying low in the Zombie Apocalypse world.

Ji Xiaobo held an obsession with reviving necromancy studies.

Allowing him free rein might not be the best choice.

"Okay, got it. I'll head over to see him right away."

1882 New Discoveries

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei had a brief discussion and found that his absence in the past two days didn't lead to any significant issues. Consequently, he headed to the Temple of Zeus built by Sandy to find Ji Xiaobo.

One notable point was that due to the great holy sword's inability to activate and its attribute that couldn't be stored in a backpack, Fang Heng couldn't carry it with him at all times.

After the previous incident, they temporarily housed the Holy God's great sword in the Temple of Zeus.

Believers in the Holy Light sensed the waves of holy power emanating from the great holy sword, further increasing their loyalty and favorability rating towards the prison.

In this regard, the great holy sword wasn't entirely useless.

When Fang Heng arrived at the Temple of Zeus, Ji Xiaobo was seated beside the great holy sword in the center of the hall, engrossed in deep meditation.

Accompanying him was Sandy.

Sandy was equally intrigued by the great holy sword.

After a conversation, they surprisingly felt a strong sense of camaraderie.

"Brother Fang!"

Seeing Fang Heng's arrival, Ji Xiaobo instantly lit up. Abandoning all thought, he rushed over, his eyes brimming with admiration. "Brother Fang! Heard you tangled with the Holy Court again? Tell me about it! Who did you encounter this time? Give me the details…"

"Ahem…"

Fang Heng couldn't help but cough lightly.

What did he mean by tangling with the Holy Court again? It made it sound as if he were some troublemakers.

But then again, it wasn't entirely baseless.

"Do you know about the Holy Court's oracle, Autolia?" Fang Heng inquired after a pause.

That was the Holy Court's one of three reigning figures in the real world!

Autolia!

The controller of the holy weapon!

Ji Xiaobo was thrilled at the mention of the name, his eyes reflecting fervent admiration. "I heard about her! Absolutely! Autolia! The oracle of the Holy Court! Brother Fang, spill it! How did it go? Did you win? Share with me the fight's details!"

"There wasn't exactly a win or loss." Fang Heng shrugged.

There was no altercation.

Consequently, there was no clear winner or loser.

No problem there.

"Amazing!" Ji Xiaobo was extremely excited and gave Fang Heng another thumbs-up.

Their necromancy discipline finally had someone making headlines!

The incident of Viona's earlier demise couldn't be made public. He could only revel in it privately.

This time, Brother Fang and Oracle Autolia had a bit of a showdown, a tale they could at least boast about, right?

As Ji Xiaobo pondered gleefully, Fang Heng lightly patted his back.

"Also, don't spread this matter around."

"Why not?"

"I used the same name, but the Holy Court can't confirm if that person was me. Spreading it could cause trouble for the Necromancer Association. Understand?"

"Okay, okay…" Ji Xiaobo's spirits immediately dampened.

Not being able to flaunt it outside felt terrible!

"I heard from Old Mr. Mo that you made some discoveries about the great holy sword?"

"Yes, indeed!"

Mentioning the holy sword brought back Ji Xiaobo's enthusiasm. He led Fang Heng to the great holy sword and said, "Brother Fang, Mr. Sandy, and I have discussed and researched extensively. Finally, we've made a discovery."

"Tell me about it?"

"Um, um, we suspect that this sword, the vast sword, is a weapon from the legendary realm of gods, a weapon known as the Chosen Seal Giant Sword. It's said that this sword was originally designed to suppress the death realm. The Holy Court once used this great sword to completely purify and obliterate the death realm crevice in Ciboreya. The sword also lost a portion of its strength."

"After that, the holy blade was lost. As for why it ended up in the rift in Punoze's Frost Hell, I'm not sure."

"Oh… Ciboreya…?"

Fang Heng furrowed his brow.

He felt like he had heard of that place before.

Wasn't it from a mid-tier game world?

"Hmm?" Fang Heng looked at the great sacred blade and asked, "And then?"

"And then…" Ji Xiaobo choked again.

"Uh, well, and then…" Ji Xiaobo glanced at Sandy beside him, "It appears to be related to Ciboreya…"

Sandy added, "Fang Heng, we lack sufficient data. There's no information available on this vast sword. You also don't have any information related to Punoze. If there's a chance, we should visit Punoze or Ciboreya to gather some intel."

"Okay, got it. Let's wait a few more days. It's not convenient for you to go out now. Let's explore from other angles first."

Fang Heng patted Ji Xiaobo on the shoulder. "You've done great. Keep investigating. I trust in your capabilities. After all, both of us hold the future of necromancy. The glory of necromancy rests on us…"

"Don't worry!"

Ji Xiaobo was invigorated by Fang Heng's words. He nodded fervently, feeling motivated. "Brother Fang, leave it to me! I'll dig deep into this investigation!"

"Yes."

Fang Heng didn't hold much faith for Ji Xiaobo to uncover anything substantial. He simply wished to keep him occupied and prevent any trouble.

After settling Ji Xiaobo, and with no other pressing matters in the game world, Fang Heng logged off again and returned to the third-floor commission center to check.

"Hello, Amanda's husband. How can I assist you?"

"Could you check my current points and the status of my commissions, please?"

"Of course. Your points balance is 1310. You have 29 commissions pending confirmation and 11 commissions pending verification. Please wait a while. Upon confirmation, you'll receive a 30% points bonus. Once verified, the remaining reward points will be granted."

"Is there any beast taming skill book available for sale here?"

"After checking, the Library of the Myriad Worlds doesn't have any related books for sale. I suggest posting a commission. You'll be immediately notified if someone is willing to teach the skill."

Fang Heng pondered his options.

He currently only had 1,000 points.

It might be quite challenging to acquire an entry-level beast taming skill with just this amount.

Nevertheless, it was worth a try.

"Alright, I would like to post a commission. I'm looking to learn the basics of beast taming. The reward will be 1000 points. I'm also open to using other items for exchange."

"Okay, your request has been submitted. If a player accepts the commission, we'll promptly inform you via the contact details you provided."

"Thank you."

Now, it was a waiting game.

Feeling a bit drowsy, Fang Heng decided to return to his room for a nap before embarking on another round of missions.

With just 1,000 points, the likelihood of acquiring a beast taming skill seemed low.

What about 10,000? Or a hundred thousand?

If the price was right, he believed he could learn it.

Arriving back at his room, Fang Heng noticed that Gu Qingzhu still hadn't returned. Only the phantom shadow rat was creating a mess by running amok among the decorations.

Where could Gu Qingzhu be?

He hadn't seen her all day.

Without the protection of the phantom shadow rat, she risked being tracked by the Federation and wouldn't leave the hotel.

So, where had she gone?

As Fang Heng pondered this, his phone rang.

1883 Asking for Help

"Ring, ring, ring…"

Fang Heng was somewhat surprised.

Not many people knew his phone number.

He peered at the caller ID.

It was Li Qingran.

"Fang Heng, is this you?"

"Hmm?"

Li Qingran took a long time to think and hesitated before calling Fang Heng. Once the call connected, Li Qingran became very composed. "Fang Heng, I need your help."

"Alright, let's discuss it in person. Where shall we meet?"

"In the game, I'm in Punoze, at the Tower of Bones."

"Okay, I'll be there soon."

Not finding Gu Qingzhu around and Li Qingran urgently seeking him made Fang Heng not dwell on it and directly entered the game cabin.

…

Upon re-entering the game, Fang Heng retrieved the Punoze game world invitation card and entered the Punoze game world.

About a month ago, he had broken the seal in the Frost Hell of Punoze, causing the entire Frost Hell's aura to spread outward.

Following that, numerous necromancy players entered Frost Hell in search of related missions.

Fang Heng hadn't paid much attention to this.

Was Li Qingran looking for him concerning Frost Hell?

If that were the case, Fang Heng felt he should advise Li Qingran to desist.

This mission was not simple.

It couldn't be accomplished in a short time.

Outside the Tower of Bones, Fang Heng spotted Li Qingran.

"Fang Heng, I appreciate you coming in such haste."

After a month, Li Qingran's gaze appeared somewhat peculiar when she saw Fang Heng again.

The vivid memory of their first encounter was still fresh in her mind.

Who would have thought that in such a short time…

Fang Heng had already reached the threshold of master level necromancy!

Upon learning from Teacher Gu Luo that Fang Heng had successfully advanced to the pinnacle of necromancy, Li Qingran was left dumbfounded.

In just half a year!

He had surpassed the records of the entire Necromancer Association!

"Senior, you're being too modest. Did you encounter any trouble? If there's anything I can assist with, I'll do my best."

The Necromancer Association had always treated him well.

Upon receiving Li Qingran's urgent plea for help, Fang Heng hurried over.

"Well, I won't hold back. It concerns the master level academic advancement mission."

Li Qingran regulated her emotions.

Her disposition was to avoid inconveniencing others.

However, she had been stuck on the master level necromancy advancement mission for too long.

Finally finding this opportunity, even the mission issuer, Teacher Gu Luo, had suggested she seek Fang Heng's assistance.

After contemplating, Li Qingran reached out to Fang Heng for help.

"Fang Heng," Li Qingran thought aloud. "It's about advancing to the master level in the study of the necromancy. I've heard your necromancy skills have also reached the master level. Could you assist me in completing this academic advancement?"

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched slightly.

He hadn't expected the request to be about academic advancement.

Coincidentally, Teacher Gu Luo had also advised him to proceed with the next step of the master level necromancy Advancement as soon as possible.

Fang Heng wasn't eager, but previously, he had been in a hurry to test the enhancement effect of his newly acquired zombie clone talent enhancement, so he hadn't agreed immediately.

Now that Li Qingran sought his help, he agreed to assist along the way.

"Yes, alright."

Li Qingran felt even more guilty seeing Fang Heng readily agree. She silently pledged to assist Fang Heng in the future if opportunities arose.

However, contemplating how Fang Heng had progressed from a beginner to a veteran player in high-tier necromancy studies within just a few months left Li Qingran feeling a bit disheartened.

The gap in strength between them would likely widen further in the future. She couldn't repay this favor.

Trying not to dwell on it, Li Qingran looked up. "Fang Heng, this is a time-sensitive mission, a rare opportunity. Let's meet Teacher Gu Luo to receive the mission."

"Yes, alright."

Soon, Fang Heng donned his mask and, led by the necromancy attendant, accompanied Li Qingran into the Tower of Bones. They found Teacher Gu Luo in a room at the tower's peak.

"Teacher Gu Luo."

"Ah, it's Fang Heng. Come, come, come. Please, have a seat. Qingran, you too."

Upon seeing Fang Heng, Teacher Gu Luo's demeanor in the room instantly became warmer. There was a visible lift in Teacher Gu Luo's spirits.

Fang Heng found it peculiar, wondering why Teacher Gu Luo was in such high spirits today.

Gu Luo peered at Fang Heng and then at Li Qingran, quietly pleased with his precise understanding of human nature.

"A few days ago, I suggested your involvement in the master level necromancy academic advancement, but you were reluctant. Today, when Li Qingran invited you, you came here so eagerly, didn't you? In the end, it's the advice from an old best friend is the best. Young people, well, they find it hard to resist the wiles of a charming person." Gu Luo thought to himself.

Fang Heng was slightly unnerved by Teacher Gu Luo's intense scrutiny. Breaking the silence, he asked, "Teacher Gu Luo, do you have a suitable master level necromancy academic advancement mission?"

"Hmm, not bad," Gu Luo replied, retracting his gaze. "This mission is a time-limited team mission. It comes with a corresponding completion rate. Upon reaching a certain completion rate, you'll receive master level academic advancement and academic skill experience points from me."

Gu Luo paused, fixing his gaze on Fang Heng. "And if you manage to exceed my expectations in completing the mission, elevating the reward to necromancy of grandmaster level is within the realm of possibility."

Fang Heng's eyes sparkled at the prospect.

The chance to straightaway advance to the grandmaster level was quite appealing!

This would certainly save a lot of time!

Seizing this mission opportunity, he thought he might as well make a single leap!

Fang Heng nodded. "Please, could you explain the mission details, Teacher?"

Gu Luo waved his hand and turned to Li Qingran. "Qingran, step out for a moment. I need to speak with Fang Heng alone."

"Of course, Teacher."

Observing Fang Heng's changing expression, Li Qingran couldn't help but inwardly chuckle.

She believed Teacher Gu Luo's talk about exceeding the mission's requirements was specifically directed at Fang Heng.

Acquiring the master level academic advancement couldn't be that straightforward!

She had been stuck at this step for far too long!

And a grandmaster level? That was even more challenging!

Unexpectedly, Teacher Gu Luo held such high expectations for Fang Heng.

Li Qingran nodded respectfully, stood up, and exited the room, gently closing the wooden door behind her.

Alone in the room, Gu Luo's expression turned graver. He erected a dark defensive barrier around him and Fang Heng.

Fang Heng found Gu Luo's wariness a bit peculiar. Wasn't this a cooperative mission? Why the need to exclude Li Qingran? Such caution?

"Do you know about Ciboreya?" Gu Luo inquired.

Huh?

Fang Heng couldn't help but feel intrigued.

Ciboreya?

Wasn't that the game world Ji Xiaobo had just mentioned?

What an incredible coincidence!

1884 The Conflict

"Is it a game world? I've heard of this world before, but I'm not very familiar with it."

"Yes, Ciboreya is one of the domains where our necromancy teachings spread. It's also one of the game worlds where players who study necromancy often gather. However, at present, Ciboreya is under a direct assault from the Holy Court."

"Fang Heng, you might be surprised. This matter is related to you," Gu Luo said solemnly.

"Me?" Fang Heng looked puzzled. "Why do you say that, Teacher?"

"The root of this incident is the Holy Court's Saintess, Viona," Gu Luo continued, casting a glance at Fang Heng. "Do you remember Feudal Lord Dani?"

"Yes, I do." Fang Heng affirmed.

In the beginning, he and Feudal Lord Dani had a conflict of interest, but when faced with the same enemy and common interests, both sides only used three sentences to decide on a cooperation strategy.

After the cooperation, Dani was very cooperative throughout the whole cooperation, her performance was perfect.

"Feudal Lord Dani attempted to seize Viona to complete a mission I assigned. After that, Saintess Viona disappeared, and the Federation was in a mess. The Holy Court turned their attention to Feudal Lord Dani"

Fang Heng nodded in recognition of the situation.

"Indeed, Feudal Lord Dani took the bullet for me. It was part of our cooperation agreement." Fang Heng thought.

"The world that Feudal Lord Dani is in is Ciboreya," Gu Luo elaborated. "The Holy Court's actions there aim to locate the Saintess. They believe there's evidence linking her disappearance to Feudal Lord Dani."

"Feudal Lord Dani now leads Ciboreya's necromancy faction against the Holy Court. The necromancy faction's higher-ups are reluctant to engage in a full-scale war, fearing a complete rupture between necromancy and the Holy Court."

"With the current situation, Feudal Lord Dani's side might not hold out much longer. They'll likely opt to evacuate from Ciboreya soon."

"As you know, the traditionalists in the necromancy faction have a history of tolerating the Holy Court, believing a small territory isn't worth a major confrontation."

"Taking a step back today will only embolden the Holy Court to take even more tomorrow!"

Teacher Gu Luo's frustration was palpable.

"Necromancy is bound to suffer at the hands of these traditionalists sooner or later!"

"Fang Heng, the enemy we face now is formidable, and the support the necromancy faction can offer is minimal, almost negligible. I don't expect you to obliterate the Holy Court army, but I hope you can make them pay a price. At the very least, don't let them easily claim Ciboreya."

"Can you do it?" Gu Luo inquired about Fang Heng.

Game notifications continued flashing across Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: Player triggered a special main mission, Rescue Ciboreya (Team collaborative) (Maximum of 5 team members)]

[Mission name: Rescue Ciboreya]

[Mission difficulty: S]

[Mission Description: Ciboreya, one of the bases of necromancy, is currently under attack by the Holy Court's army. Due to certain reasons, Teacher Gu Luo and the necromancy faction cannot directly join the battlefield. Teacher Gu Luo hopes that you will assist the necromancy faction in resisting the Holy Court's attack and display the necromancy faction's strength to intimidate the Holy Court.]

[Mission requirement: Please assist Ciboreya in resisting the Holy Court's encroachment from all aspects. Attack the Holy Court on all fronts. Any attack and completion of the relevant mission will grant corresponding mission completion rates.]

[Current mission completion: 0%.]

[Reward Description: After the mission enters the settlement stage, if the completion rate reaches 200%, you can find Teacher Gu Luo to obtain the master level necromancy advancement book (If it has not reached 200%, you can obtain a portion of the necromancy experience points according to the completion rate).]

[Mission time limit: After the fall of Ciboreya or the retreat of the Holy Court, the player will be forced to enter the mission settlement stage. The player can also submit the mission to Teacher Gu Luo at any time to settle the mission in advance (if the completion rate of the mission settlement is less than 20%, Teacher Gu Luo's favorability will be reduced).]

Fang Heng glanced at the mission notification.

Interesting.

Very clear.

Completing this mission to 200% allows one to advance to the master level of necromancy.

The difficulty was not low.

Teacher Gu Luo also revealed that if the mission is completed exceptionally, one can obtain a higher-tire grandmaster level necromancy advancement reward!

Therefore, the mission could still be completed beyond 200%.

Swipe!

Fang Heng closed the game notification and nodded. "Teacher, I understand. I'm ready. I can set off for Ciboreya at any time."

"Yes, Feudal Lord Dani is leading this mission. You can approach her for details about Ciboreya. Also, this is a team mission. You can invite your companions to join the team. Ciboreya's situation is worsening rapidly, so hurry. The teleportation channel in Pnoze will be open to mission-related individuals during this time. You can use it directly."

"Thank you, Teacher. I'll start on the mission."

Fang Heng nodded respectfully at Teacher Gu Luo before leaving the room.

Outside the door, Li Qingran had been waiting. When Fang Heng emerged, she approached and asked, "Fang Heng, what did the teacher say?"

"Teacher Gu Luo briefed me about the mission at Ciboreya. I agreed to participate."

As he spoke, Fang Heng sent Li Qingran a quest invitation.

Li Qingran sighed with relief and promptly accepted.

[Hint: Player Li Qingran has joined your shared team mission.]

Having familiarized herself with the mission's outline, Li Qingran inquired, "Fang Heng, do we need more teammates?"

Teammates?

Fang Heng pondered for a moment.

Indeed, the mission allowed a group of up to five members.

The team shared the mission's completion rate.

As this game world pertained to Ciboreya, he thought about seeking clues related to the great holy sword.

Furthermore, it involved a confrontation with the Holy Court.

If Ji Xiaobo got wind of this, he would surely show up.

He couldn't miss out.

That left two slots open.

His knowledge of other sorcery players was limited.

Keep them open for now.

After considering for a moment, Fang Heng asked, "I have a friend who needs to participate the mission. The other two slots are vacant. Do you have any recommendations?"

"Teacher Gu Luo issued quest announcements publicly a couple of days ago. Many players with good strength have already formed teams. I have a few invites from other groups. If needed, I can help find two reliable candidates with guaranteed strength. We can group up together." "
