1300 Deep into the Abyss
After chatting with the people from the Mage Association, Fang Heng focused his gaze on the ruins left behind by the exploded iron mine.
Warren stepped forward and said, “Fang Heng, I’ve already conducted an inspection. The periphery seal of the abyssal demon has been destroyed. It’s very difficult to re-establish the seal. I’m afraid we’ll have to surround the entire mine area. This will be time-consuming and time-consuming. We won’t be able to make it in time. Such a large-scale construction will take at least half a year.”
Fang Heng frowned.
Half a year?
It was too slow.
Before the seal was completed, the abyssal demon would have already escaped.
“Is there no other way?”
“I can’t think of anything for the time being. Fang Heng, I can feel that the aura leaking from the abyss has accelerated compared to before. I suspect that there have been changes to the inner seal. It’s likely the work of the Holy Court.”
Warren’s expression was solemn as he continued, “I’m afraid that the abyssal demon will soon mutate. The final battle with the abyssal demon might come sooner than we expected.”
Fang Heng looked in the direction of the ruins and hesitated for a moment before saying, “I want to go in and take a look.”
“No, it’s too dangerous. The plague aura is too dense. We can’t get close at all.”
“I know. I have a way to deal with it.”
“You can?”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng nodded.
Previously, they could not go deep into the abyss to investigate. On the one hand, they were worried that it would cause the abyssal demon to move. On the other hand, they could not withstand the denser plague aura below the seal.
After absorbing the virus last night, his body had become immune to the plague aura. He could go in and take a look.
Fang Heng rubbed his chin.
He was more worried about whether the Holy Court had done anything to the inner seal last night.
Considering the attributes of the glass cannon and the fact that he didn’t have the life-saving effect of the undying body, his body was too fragile. He could let the zombie clone go down and check the situation first.
“In short, clear the entrance to the underground abyss first. I’ll let the undead creatures enter to investigate first. After confirming that there’s no danger, we’ll try to enter.”
Warren knew that Fang Heng had always been very steady in his work, so he did not persuade him anymore. He nodded and said, “Alright, be careful.”
Everyone waited for a moment. Soon, a large number of zombie clones walked over through the portal of the ghost tower.
Under everyone’s gaze, the zombie clones slowly walked into the thick fog shrouded by the plague and gradually disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Like the others, Fang Heng could not see the scene in the black fog, but he could clearly sense the location of each zombie clone and easily control them to clean up the ruins.
After nearly half an hour, a tunnel leading to the underground abyss was successfully dug out from the collapsed ruins.
“It’s almost time. I’ll go in and take a look. You guys stay outside.”
Lord Chadwick could not see anything. He only heard Fang Heng say that it was almost done, but he did not understand what he meant. He could only watch as Fang Heng walked into the black fog, and he could not help but sweat for him.
Randolph frowned and asked, “Lord Fang Heng, is there no problem?”
“Don’t worry, it’s just an investigation. If I encounter any danger, I’ll retreat immediately.”
As he spoke, Fang Heng’s figure slowly disappeared into the thick black plague.
[Hint: The player has entered a special area. The player is immune to the effects of plague aura.]
The tunnel dug by the zombie clone was very narrow. Fang Heng simply transformed into his bat form and flew down the tunnel.
Fang Heng once again arrived at the underground abyss.
More than 200 zombie clones gathered around Fang Heng.
Fang Heng returned to his human form and quickly looked around to familiarize himself with the terrain of the entire abyss.
The last time he entered the abyss, he was chased by Karkkila and did not have the time to carefully examine the abyss environment.
The structure of the abyss was very similar to the underground world. It was very empty, and the entire abyss was filled with the dense black plague.
As the plague aura also blocked his senses, Fang Heng had no idea which direction to go.
He could only use a stupid method.
Fang Heng controlled the surrounding zombie clones to spread out and explore, trying to find the specific location of the abyss seal.
“It’s a little difficult…”
Fang Heng stayed on alert for two minutes, but the zombies he sent out to patrol still didn’t find him.
The underground abyss was much wider than he had imagined.
However, the entire underground world was lifeless. There were no signs of life, and the zombies were not attacked.
“Wait a little longer.”
Normally, Fang Heng would have relied on the bug effect of the undying body to explore boldly.
Unfortunately, it was a glass cannon now. Fang Heng could only wait patiently.
Thinking about it, the underground area was extremely vast. He did not know when he would find something. It would be a waste of time to stay here.
While he let the zombie clones wait and see, he could try to build a mage tower from a distance.
With that thought in mind, Fang Heng first gathered a group of Lickers to speed up the investigation. Then, he transformed into his bat form again and flew towards the entrance.
Outside the cave, Lord Chadwick and the others who were waiting anxiously saw Fang Heng emerge from the ghost fog. Their hearts finally settled down.
Lord Chadwick took two steps forward and asked, “Lord Fang Heng, is the situation below the seal alright?”
“I’m not sure yet. The area below the abyss is very wide. I’m already controlling the undead creatures to investigate. It might take some time before I get any feedback. You don’t have to stay here with me.”
“Alright, it’s good that you’re safe. There are still many citizens waiting to be evacuated. I’ll go over it first. Inform me if there’s any news.”
“Mm, that’s good too.” Randolph nodded and said, “It’s safer to use summoned creatures to investigate. The Mage Association will do its best to ensure the operation of the mage tower. President Fang Heng, you don’t have to be polite. If you need anything, you can ask someone to look for me at any time.”
“Thank you.”
Fang Heng watched everyone leave, then shifted his gaze to Zhuo Lingfang behind them and asked, “Can you contact Ed and the others now?”
Zhuo Lingfang was suddenly called out by Fang Heng, and her entire person quivered. She nodded and said, “Yes, I can do it.”
“Yes, contact Ed. I’ll use the summoned creatures to go to Lord Brent’s territory to build a mage tower. Tell him to make preparations.”
“Yes, yes, alright. I’ll tell him immediately that Commander Ed has finished preparing the supplies half an hour ago. When can we start building?”
“Now. We’ll start when the summoned creatures are in place.”
“Hmm?”
Zhuo Lingfang revealed a puzzled expression.
“Alright, I’ll go now.”
Fang Heng nodded, closed his eyes, and focused. He tried to remotely control the zombie clones to go to Lord Brent’s territory to build the mage tower.
