Chapter 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."
