Chapter 858: Accident
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Within the fallen corridor, Instructor Pu Shi and the players had been using the strength of the sealing stone for the past few days to absorb the aura of death from the central sealed area.
Fang Heng figured that he wouldn’t be of much help if he went there now anyway.
Therefore, he went offline and hid in the tent to rest under the excuse of cultivating the sacred study.
“Boss Fang! Something’s happened! Fang Heng? Are you there?”
Outside the tent, Li Shaoqiang rushed back in a hurry and rushed into Fang Heng’s tent while shouting.
“Sir! Something big has happened!”
Fang Heng had just laid down and was still in a daze. He looked up and saw Li Shaoqiang who had barged in.
He was caught in an awkward situation.
When he saw Fang Heng sitting on the bed, Li Shaoqiang didn’t think much of it and rushed forward. “Fang Heng, don’t sleep anymore. Something happened in the central sealed area. Go and take a look.”
Fang Heng instantly woke up.
“Central sealed area?”
Li Shaoqiang added, “Teacher Pu Shi is in trouble.”
Big Brother is in trouble?
When Fang Heng saw that Li Shaoqiang’s expression was extremely anxious and did not look like he was lying, he quickly got up from the bed and said, “Don’t be anxious. Bring me there with you. Let’s talk slowly.”
“Okay.”
Li Shaoqiang calmed himself down.
Teacher Pu Shi encountered danger in the central area. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead. Li Qingran’s ability and experience were not enough to command the entire team. The whole player team did not have a leader and became very chaotic.
Li Shaoqiang saw that the situation was not good and quickly came back to look for Fang Heng.
The two of them sped up and rushed to the central area of the fallen corridor.
Li Shaoqiang explained the general situation to Fang Heng as succinctly as possible.
“Previously, we were absorbing and transferring the aura of death in the central hall through necromancy. When it was almost noon, Teacher Pu Shi suddenly brought us into the central area to check it out.”
“I didn’t expect the aura of the death realm in the hall to suddenly erupt on a large scale.”
“The King Guard regained consciousness and entered battle stance, launching an attack on us.”
“At that time, Teacher Pu Shi told us to leave the central area of the seal first and stay behind to delay the King Guard.”
Fang Heng frowned and realized that something was wrong. “And then?”
“When we left the central area, the aura of the undead in the entire central area erupted once again. Teacher Pu Shi was still trapped alone in the central area.”
Li Shaoqiang’s expression was solemn. He recalled the aura of the undead that suddenly erupted just now, and he was still extremely afraid. “Fang Heng, Li Qingran told us that she could no longer sense Teacher Pu Shi’s aura.”
She couldn’t even sense his aura?
This was going to be troublesome.
Fang Heng secretly thought that things were not looking good.
…
In the central area of the fallen corridor, the thick aura of the death realm continuously seeped out from the cracks in the ground and walls.
The surroundings were filled with undead life forms that were rapidly condensing.
The players had no choice but to gather at the same spot and form a circle to protect the central area from the invasion of the undead creatures from the outside world.
The sudden explosion of the aura of the death realm caused the players of the Necromancer a.s.sociation to lose their bearings for a moment. They could not come to a consensus even after arguing for a long time.
“We can’t go back anymore. We have to go back and find Teacher Pu Shi. We can’t just leave Teacher Pu Shi in there and ignore him.”
“That’s easy for you to say. How do we go back? It’s not like you haven’t seen the situation in there before.”
Another high-tier player frowned. “We managed to escape with great difficulty, and now we’re going in to die?”
“Even if we’re going to die, we have to go. If something happens to Teacher Pu Shi, where can we run to? Are we still going to go back and wait for death?”
“We can wait for rescue, I…”
“Don’t make me laugh. The central sealed area has clearly been completely corroded, and the aura of the death realm has leaked out. The Necromancer a.s.sociation will very likely choose to directly seal off the fallen corridor. If we wait any longer, we’ll only be buried here with them. Rescue doesn’t exist at all, okay?!”
Listening to everyone’s discussion, Li Qingran was anxious.
Teacher Pu Shi was trapped in the central sealed area, and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead. The players were currently divided into two factions, arguing endlessly.
One faction supported leaving the central sealed area and waiting for rescue.
The other faction insisted on returning to the central sealed area to rescue Teacher Pu Shi.
Another faction retorted that there was a high probability that Teacher Pu Shi was already dead, and there was no use going back.
The other faction retorted once more. If they ran back now, they would only die slowly, and there was still a chance of survival if they went back and risked their lives.
Neither side was able to convince the other, and it was a stalemate.
Li Qingran tried to control the situation, but it was ineffective.
The words she wanted to say were constantly interrupted by the other excited players.
Under the influence of the aura from the death realm, more and more undead creatures began to gather in the fallen corridor. It would not affect them much for a while, but as time dragged on…
The aura of the death realm in the central area exploded out of a sudden. The players were panicking, and the team was extremely scattered. Li Qingran had been trying, but it was still difficult to convince the players of the Necromancer a.s.sociation to listen to her commands.
In the crowd, Qian Yaoyun stood at the back of the player and remained silent.
He was a nail that the twelve corporations had buried in the Necromancer a.s.sociation. He had been lurking in the a.s.sociation for nearly twenty years.
This time, he was entrusted with an important task by the twelve corporations.
As he had prepared beforehand to sneak into the fallen corridor, he carried a special tool called ‘future revelation’ with him.
Through this tool, he could communicate with the outside world.
The communication effect of the special tool was not very good. Within 24 hours, he could only communicate once with the outside world using a maximum of 50 words.
About three hours ago, Qian Yaoyun received an urgent message from the twelve corporations.
His mission target had changed.
The higher-ups of the twelve corporations hoped that Qian Yaoyun would give up on the Shrine of Bones and immediately find an opportunity to destroy the magic array in the center of the fallen corridor, trapping Fang Heng in it.
Almost at the same time, Pu Shi seemed to have noticed something and led the player team into the central area of the fallen corridor for inspection.
While Instructor Pu Shi was inspecting the magic array, Qian Yaoyun took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and secretly found an opportunity to tamper with it, causing the Shrine of Bones in the central area to riot.
In coordination with the destruction and loosening of the seal on the death realm, the aura of the death realm in the central area of the fallen corridor suddenly erupted, and the King Guard was forcefully awakened.
The King Guard immediately attacked the players.
Pu Shi chose to stall the King Guard alone to protect the players.
From then on, Qian Yaoyun hid in the player group and retreated with the players.
The mission was completed.
The magic array that sealed the death realm was destroyed. No one would come to save these people.
Qian Yaoyun thought to himself.
Everyone would die here.
They would just struggle helplessly.
Qian Yaoyun was already prepared to die. He was seriously ill and would not be able to live for long. If he died, his family members who were still alive would receive the best resources and care.
As he was thinking, Qian Yaoyun noticed that the originally noisy surroundings had gradually become quiet.
He looked up and saw that a small path had opened up in front of him from the crowd.
Fang Heng walked in from the crowd.
Seeing Fang Heng, Qian Yaoyun had a rather ominous feeling in his heart.
It’s him again!
