Chapter 859: Fall
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Fang Heng, you came at the right time.”
Seeing Fang Heng’s arrival, the Necromancer Association’s player team, who had been arguing, stopped arguing.
Everyone looked at Fang Heng.
“Fang Heng, tell us, what should we do?”
Fang Heng had left a deep impression on the Necromancer Association’s player group during the time they had been locked up in the fallen corridor.
Almost all of the players here had spent more time studying necromancy than Fang Heng. In terms of knowledge, most of them were more knowledgeable than Fang Heng, and they were many times more experienced than Fang Heng.
However, it was very strange. When they saw Fang Heng coming over, they actually felt like they had found their backbone. They all stopped arguing and looked at Fang Heng, waiting for him to give them an idea.
“Yeah, I’ve roughly heard about the matter.”
When Fang Heng arrived, he had already heard the players’ arguments from afar.
He walked to the middle of the crowd and did not choose to stand on any side of the argument. Instead, he turned his head to look at the two necromancy attendants who had been following behind the crowd.
“I think it’s better to let them speak.”
The players all looked in the direction that Fang Heng pointed to. He was pointing at two necromancy attendants in gray robes.
The players were confused.
The two necromancy attendants looked at each other and were equally confused.
Fang Heng looked at the two and said, “Tell us what happened outside the fallen corridor. Why did Teacher Pu Shi suddenly take such a big risk to enter the center of the fallen corridor to investigate? Is there a problem outside?”
Seeing the inquisitive gazes from the players, the two necromancy attendants exchanged a look.
All along, under Pu Shi’s instructions, they had been in and out of the game extremely stealthily. How did Fang Heng know about them?
One of the necromancy attendants said, “About three hours ago, the Necromancy Association was attacked from an unknown source. The magic array that sealed the death realm was greatly damaged, and the efficiency of its operation was greatly reduced. A large amount of the aura of the death realm was released from the death realm crevice to the outside world.”
The expressions of the Necromancer Association’s players changed when they heard this.
A veteran necromancy player asked in disbelief, “You’re saying that the seal on the death realm has been broken and the aura of the death realm has leaked out? Now, the outside world has already fallen?”
“Yes. Currently, the spreading effect of the aura of the death realm has already caused a great impact on the world. A large number of undead creatures have resurrected.”
“A few days ago, the Federation cooperated with the Necromancer Association to evacuate all the citizens in the periphery of the association. The Federation has set up a defense net in the periphery to defend against the undead creatures that have been resurrected. The Necromancer Association is also carrying out the repair of the magic array.”
The necromancy attendant nodded and continued to say, “After Mr. Pu Shi received the news, he immediately led a team to enter the central region to investigate. He wanted to cooperate with the outside world to stabilize the seal within the fallen corridor.”
“During the investigation process, the aura of the death realm was stimulated by something and suddenly exploded.”
Everyone had already seen what happened after that. The necromancy attendant did not elaborate further, he continued, “Now, my companions have entered the game world and are communicating with the outside world. They are receiving the latest instructions from the Necromancer Association.”
Hearing this, the players of the Necromancer Association all had strange expressions on their faces.
The players were a little confused. For a moment, they were silent as they digested the news brought by the necromancy attendants.
So the necromancy attendants could enter the game world at any time, and they could also communicate with the outside world?!
Now, not only the inner area of the fallen corridor, even the seal of the death realm in the outside world had been destroyed.
The aura was leaked, and the entire Eastern region of the Federation was in chaos!
When Fang Heng heard this, he also frowned.
This was not good.
“Fang Heng,” Qian Yaoyun looked at Fang Heng when he saw that everyone was hesitating. He asked, “Do you believe what they said?”
Everyone also looked at Fang Heng inquisitively.
Fang Heng looked at Qian Yaoyun and nodded slightly. “It should be reliable.”
“I can testify this. The eight necromancy attendants who came with Teacher Pu Shi all have the ability to enter the game. For some reason, Teacher Pu Shi did not reveal it to the public at that time.”
Li Qingran did not know how Fang Heng had gotten this information.
Seeing that Fang Heng had returned, Li Qingran felt even more confident and stepped forward to help Fang Heng explain.
“The holy equipment on Fang Heng’s body was also brought into the fallen corridor by the necromancy attendants. These are all the secrets of the Necromancer Association. Please keep them a secret.”
Everyone nodded. They had no doubt about the necromancy attendant’s words.
Fang Heng looked at the necromancy attendant and asked, “There’s a change in the magic array sealing the death realm in the outside world. It’s being attacked for unknown reasons. Teacher Pu Shi’s whereabouts are also unknown. I want to know what will happen if the fallen corridor loses control. What will the Necromancy Association do?”
The gray-robed necromancy attendant thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, “The Necromancer Association does not have spare time to worry about the fallen corridor. In order to prevent the crevice in the death realm from affecting the world, the Necromancer Association may completely seal and remove the fallen corridor, reducing the pressure of the aura of the death realm leaking out.”
Hearing this, the players fell into silence once again.
Fang Heng’s brows were tightly knitted, and he quickly exchanged glances with Li Qingran beside him.
Who would have thought that things would deteriorate to such an extent so quickly? He was still sleeping half an hour ago!
“Everyone, we don’t have any more options. If we want to survive, we have to re-enter the central region and find Teacher Pu Shi. I think this is our only choice at the moment.”
During this period of time, the players had seen Fang Heng in a joking manner. He had never been as serious as today.
Seeing that no one raised any objections, Fang Heng nodded and continued, “Senior Qingran, what’s the current situation in the central region?”
Li Qingran was extremely impressed by Fang Heng. She had spent a lot of effort managing the team but Fang Heng had easily controlled the situation with just a few words. He had the entire team in a tight line.
“When we came out, the seal in the center had already been greatly damaged. A large amount of death aura burst out, and the King Guard was stimulated by the unstable aura and entered a berserk state. There must be a large number of high-tier undead creatures in the center.”
“It has been more than half an hour since the explosion just now. The initial death aura burst in the Shrine of Bones has already ended, but the death aura is continuously spreading out from the center through the crevice.”
“The spreading aura of the death realm will lead to the revival of a large number of undead creatures and the gradual improvement of their abilities.”
The more Li Qingran analyzed, the more pessimistic she felt.
Under such circumstances, even if they desperately returned to find Teacher Pu Shi, the success rate was still frighteningly low.
Li Qingran gently bit her lips, then raised her head and continued, “With our current abilities, it will be very difficult to deal with a large number of undead creatures that are enhanced by the aura of the death realm.”
