Chapter 664: The Shrine of Bones
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Don’t worry. The shrine’s strength doesn’t contain much soul energy to begin with. It’s the same after hundreds of years of nurturing. We just need to wait for its strength to be released before we gradually deplete it.”
Pu Shi pondered for a moment.
He chose to tell everyone only half of the truth.
“Currently, the Shrine of Bones’ strength will gradually leak out, slowly affecting the periphery and causing a large amount of undying resentment to mix into the soul body to resurrect. I’m afraid that the Wall of Bones won’t be able to hold out for too long. We’ll retreat from the central region first and then make our plans.”
All the players replied in unison, “Understood!”
Shrine of Bones?
High-tier soul body?
Undying resentment that had acc.u.mulated for tens of thousands of years?
Although he didn’t understand, Fang Heng felt that it was very powerful.
Mingling in the crowd, Fang Heng followed everyone and retreated from the central region once again.
Not to mention tens of thousands of years of undying resentment, he had followed the team for so long and encountered many high-tier soul bodies. Fang Heng felt that he might not even be able to defeat high-tier soul bodies!
Fang Heng quickly calculated in his heart.
The difficulty of this sudden incident was far too different from his current level.
He could not afford to provoke them.
However, according to Teacher Pu Shi’s words, he seemed to have a way to withstand them. Moreover, he already had a solution.
Following Pu Shi’s plan step by step should not be a problem.
Hmm, very stable.
Fang Heng felt that as a newbie who had just learned necromancy for less than a month, he should not blindly get involved.
The players trapped in the fallen corridor left the central region one after another and went to the inner second floor.
Seeing that many high-tier players were discussing how to repair the magic array in groups, Fang Heng quietly left the crowd.
It was not that he did not want to help, but he really could not help.
Fang Heng was prepared to retreat for the time being and go back to meet up with Li Shaoqiang and the others.
Although the magic array in the central region had stopped functioning, the entire fallen corridor was still functioning. From time to time, there were still souls emerging from the ground.
It was still a bit unsafe on the way back, so it was better to pull Dong Jiachen and a few mercenary soldiers along to go back safely.
Where were they?
Fang Heng’s eyes searched everywhere.
Eh?
Fang Heng let out a soft “Eh”.
He noticed Pu Shi, who had been discussing with a few high-tier necromancers, take a few steps back.
Pu Shi lowered his voice and gave a few instructions to the two necromancy attendants in gray robes.
Then, the two necromancy attendants extinguished the soul candles in their hands and walked into a pitch-black shadow behind the corner, gradually disappearing from the sight of all the players.
Strange? What were they doing?
And they’re still so sneaky?
Fang Heng was puzzled.
Suddenly, a conspiracy theory arose in Fang Heng’s heart.
Could it be…
The person who planned this incident was Teacher Pu Shi?!
A thief calling out to catch a thief?
Driven by curiosity, Fang Heng took a few steps forward and raised his head to look at the end of the pitch-black pa.s.sage.
A layer of red light was attached to his eyes.
With the support of the high-tier vampire bloodline, Fang Heng could clearly see the scene inside the pa.s.sage.
Two dark magic arrays appeared under the feet of the two necromancy attendants.
The magic arrays slowly rotated.
Like a swamp, the bodies of the two necromancy attendants slowly sank into the magic arrays.
After a moment, the two of them completely disappeared.
Several thoughts surged in Fang Heng’s mind.
Game!
They had returned to the game!
This strange way of entering the game…
Fang Heng unconsciously lowered his head to look at his right hand that was clenched tightly.
This method was similar to the strength of the imprint on the back of his hand!
Who were they? Why did they have this kind of strength?
“Hey, Fang Heng.”
Hearing someone suddenly call his name, Fang Heng was startled for a moment and quickly turned his head.
“What’s wrong? You’re so startled. Are you alright? What are you looking at?”
Dong Jiachen was also startled by Fang Heng’s reaction. He followed Fang Heng’s gaze and looked in the direction of the maze’s pathway.
All he saw was darkness.
“Oh, it’s nothing, it’s nothing…”
Fang Heng retracted his gaze from the end.
If the two necromancy attendants could also enter the game, then even if the players were trapped in the fallen corridor, they could still establish communication with the outside world.
It seemed that Teacher Pu Shi had hidden something from the players.
Tsk, people from the Federation.
Sneaky man.
So why didn’t Teacher Pu Shi mention this matter before?
Fang Heng remembered that Mo Yunxiao had repeatedly mentioned it to him. If it wasn’t the last resort, it was best not to reveal this special method of entering and exiting the game in front of outsiders.
Was it because this special method of teleportation couldn’t be known by outsiders, so he had some misgivings?
Or was it because… the sneaky guy was planning something else?
Fang Heng rubbed his shoulder.
He felt that his IQ wasn’t enough again.
Dong Jiachen saw Fang Heng standing where he was, lost in thought. He couldn’t help but gently shake his shoulder and asked, “Hey, Fang Heng, what are you thinking about this time?”
“Oh, nothing. I’m thinking about the bone niche.”
“That thing…” Dong Jiachen looked in the direction where Pu Shi and the others were discussing, he said, “This is also the first time I’ve heard of the Shrine of Bones. I don’t know much about it. Teacher Pu Shi is very experienced. With him around, there shouldn’t be any problems. We don’t have to worry too much. We just have to do as the teacher says.”
Yes.
That was also true.
He would let Pu Shi fight with the enemies.
And he should eat and drink, and do what he wants.
In fact, he should continue to make more money!
“Yes, you’re right,” Fang Heng agreed and turned to look at Dong Jiachen. “Right, I was looking for you. I don’t think we can help much by staying here. It’s better to go back early.”
“Huh? Go back? To where?”
“Go back and meet up with Li Shaoqiang and the others.”
“Oh.”
Dong Jiachen thought for a moment and then looked at the high-tier players who had gathered in a few small teams to discuss tactics.
He suddenly felt insignificant.
Indeed, an apprentice like him who had just entered elementary necromancy not long ago would not be of much help here.
Moreover…
There was still food to eat, tents to sleep in, and drinks to drink back at the camp…
No matter how he thought about it, it was much more comfortable than staying here.
“You’re right. Then should we inform the teacher?”
“No, the teacher is troubled right now. Let’s not go to him and look for trouble.” Fang Heng pulled Dong Jiachen to the side, “Call our people. If you’re willing to go back, then come back with us. If you want to stay, then stay. Don’t force yourself.”
“Okay, sure.”
Dong Jiachen agreed and started to look for people.
Fang Heng pursed his lips.
It was shameful to waste time.
He was sure that there was no danger for the time being, and he couldn’t help either.
Naturally, he would go back to farming monsters and making money!
…
In the study room in the fallen hall.
The higher-ups of the Necromancer a.s.sociation were gathered.
“Since two days ago, the seal in the center of the fallen hall has been loosened. Today, we found that the seal has been completely destroyed.”
“We can be sure that all of this was premeditated. The two people who destroyed the seal have been confirmed dead. We can confirm that they are our internal members, but we are not sure if there are still dangerous people hiding in the team.”
