“Ha…”
Fang Heng yawned.
Early in the morning, he was still in a daze when Li Shaoqiang woke him up from his bed.
He had no choice. He was the only support in the team.
Fang Heng put on the heavy bulk set and followed the player team led by Pu Shi into the inner area to clear out the vengeful spirit bodies.
While walking along the way, Fang Heng yawned for the eighth time.
Li Qingran saw that Fang Heng was still sleepy and asked, “Are you very tired? Didn’t sleep well last night?”
“Yeah, a little.”
That’s right.
He had wanted to sleep early last night, but Mo Jiawei was suddenly all geared up.
He dragged him to set up the production line until late at night. By the time he finished adjusting the production line, it was already past one o’clock in the morning when he went offline to hack.
It wasn’t just last night. He hadn’t had a good rest during this period of time.
“Well, it’s a little tiring to cultivate the sacred study. Do you want me to go and talk to the instructor?”
“No, no need. I still want to go out earlier.” Fang Heng yawned again as he spoke and changed the topic. “It’ll take a long time to completely clean up the inner area, right?”
“Yes. The deeper it is in the inner area, the more difficult it will be to clean it up.”
Li Qingran became serious and continued, “Last night, Teacher Pu Shi led a team to conduct a simple investigation of the area and made a little discovery. Teacher felt that we might have encountered some trouble, so he came over this morning to verify it.”
Li Qingran paused as she spoke, and she wanted to say something but hesitated.
“Eh, I understand. Vengeful spirits are very difficult to deal with.”
Fang Heng had just woken up and was still a little confused, so he did not hear any hesitation in Li Qingran’s words.
Just like yesterday, after Fang Heng cast weapon blessing on the team, he began to switch equipment and followed behind the team to slack.
He squinted his eyes as he walked along the way.
After using the Everlasting Moon skill, the negative effect brought by the exhaustion of his mental strength made him listless for two or three days.
The players were also used to Fang Heng’s slacking attitude. They even felt a little sympathy for him.
He was a healer and was wearing such heavy equipment.
They felt tired just by looking at him.
After entering the inner layer of the area, the danger level increased exponentially.
High-tier vengeful spirits had powerful abilities and often appeared in groups of seven or eight. They needed to work together as a team to ensure their safety.
Pu Shi did not dare to split up the team’s combat strength.
He chose to gather all the high-tier players to form a team and enter the inner layer’s periphery to explore. He would slowly destroy the vengeful spirits and weaken the death aura’s strength in the inner layer of the fallen corridor.
After more than two hours, the team gradually entered the area in the second layer.
The players were somewhat tired from fighting all the way.
When they reached an intersection, Pu Shi suddenly raised his hand and signaled for the party to stop moving forward.
The soul candle provided limited light range, so the player relied more on their perception to detect the threat of vengeful spirits in the dark.
“Be careful.”
As soon as he said that, two black vengeful spirits gradually gathered from the front and slowly floated over.
Huh?
That was…
Behind the two black vengeful spirits, two black vortexes condensed.
White skeletal palms extended from the two vortexes respectively.
Following that, there was a huge ghostly head with a terrifying shape that was shrouded in the shadows.
When the players saw this, their expressions darkened, and one after another, they took out the Book of the Dead.
Skeleton demon!
A creature that was harder to deal with than a high-tier vengeful spirit.
Its body was only composed of two parts, the ghostly head that was shrouded in the aura of death and the skeletal hands.
Previously, the team had encountered skeleton demons in the fallen corridor a few times, but this was the first time they had encountered two at the same time.
Teacher Pu Shi’s expression was particularly grave. With a flip of his wrist, a thick Book of the Dead appeared in his right hand.
The team also immediately took out the Book of the Dead.
The wails of the undead around them became clearer and clearer. More and more high-tier vengeful spirits gathered around the intersection, gathering towards the player team at the center of the intersection.
Pu Shi’s brows were tightly knitted.
This was troublesome!
In less than a minute, a large number of high-tier vengeful spirits around them had resurrected. Just by looking at them with the naked eye, he could see five of them. In the darkness, Pu Shi could feel that there were even more troublesome vengeful spirits gathering.
Was it a trap?!
Had the King Guards in the center been awakened?
The black aura condensed into a ball, and a gray scythe appeared in the skeleton demon’s right hand.
The scythe slashed through the air.
“Whoosh!”
A black sword light flashed in the air.
Several players used the Book of the Dead to release the black balls.
“Bang!”
Several black balls and sword lights exploded at the same time, releasing black energy waves.
Pu Shi flipped the pages of the Book of the Dead in his hand frantically.
“Chi Chi Chi!!!”
Dozens of black chains that were more than half a meter thick shot out from the Book of the Dead, locking the two skeleton demons in front of them!
“Roar!!!”
The black chains locked the two skeleton demons’ heads in place.
After the chains wrapped around the skeleton demons, they began to slowly shrink, trapping the skeleton demons and dragging them into the Book of the Dead.
The skeleton demons struggled, letting out mournful roars and resisting crazily.
Fang Heng was no longer sleepy. He looked at Pu Shi’s operation and thought, this move was awesome!
Previously, the Holy Court also had a similar chain move to deal with the Prince of the vampires, Carl.
But that was something that could only be used after expending life force, not to mention failing in the end.
He wanted to learn this!
High-tier soul bodies gathered towards the players in the center from all directions.
Pu Shi said in a deep voice, “I’ll block the skeleton demon. Qingran, protect Fang Heng well. You guys retreat first.”
Because he had switched to the sacred study, Fang Heng’s body had a slight aura of holy light.
Ordinary player would find it difficult to detect, but the vengeful spirits were extremely sensitive to this kind of aura.
In addition to the various equipment on Fang Heng’s body, Fang Heng was now as dazzling as a pearl in the dark night in the eyes of the undead creatures.
Fang Heng became the undead creatures’ first target of attack!
Pu Shi already had some understanding of Fang Heng’s self-healing ability and defensive ability.
He had been in the game for hundreds of years, and he was extremely shrewd.
Fang Heng was able to carry so much equipment and move freely, so his physique, strength and body attributes were definitely not low!
In addition to the three layers of equipment on Fang Heng’s body that also added defense, he was not worried that Fang Heng would be killed by the skeleton demon in one slash.
Not to mention one slash, even 20 or 30 slashes would not be enough to kill him!
The holy light class’ turtle shell lived up to its name.
Fang Heng was definitely the one who could absorb damage the most among this group of people. Even if he died, Fang Heng might not necessarily die.
Pu Shi’s heart ached for the high-tier equipment on Fang Heng’s body.
The Federation and the Necromancer Association had spent a lot of effort to collect all of them. Most of them were borrowed. If they were hit, their durability would drop by a lot. Some of the equipment would even be directly damaged and could not be repaired.
And the damage to the equipment would directly weaken the purification ability, directly affecting the entire team’s combat ability.
“Fang Heng, let’s retreat first.”
Li Qingran nodded upon hearing this and stood beside Fang Heng.
“Qingran, look, Teacher Pu Shi’s move is quite powerful. Do you know about it?”
