1091 Seal
Argyll’s eyelids twitched as if he had just discovered this line of words. He frowned and looked at it carefully, then said, “That’s strange. This isn’t the language of the cave-dwelling beasts. I don’t understand it. This painting is saying that the demon has great power and has brought great danger to the underground world.”
“Alright.”
Fang Heng was a little disappointed and continued to ask, “Have you memorized the murals?”
“Yes, I’ve noted it down.”
Starting from the intermediate game, players could not use recording and other functions in the game. Therefore, they could only rely on items such as memory or physical cameras or video recorders in the game.
For this trial, some of Wei Tao’s team members brought cameras, but Fang Heng didn’t.
Fang Heng wasn’t in a hurry. He shrugged and said, “Okay, memorize it again. Be more detailed.”
Argyll’s face was bitter. He just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible. “Fang Heng, actually, uh, I think it’s enough.”
“Alright, move aside.”
“Ah?”
Argyll was stunned. He saw the nearby zombies walk up to the mural and try to pull it down from the stone wall.
“Fang Heng, this… What are you trying to do?”
“Find a way to take them away for research. You just said that we need to find a place to study them quietly.”
Fang Heng’s tone was flat. Wasn’t this obvious?
“Ah, this…”
“The murals here have a lot of research value. Remember the location and layout of the original murals, and try to restore them after moving out.”
After hearing Fang Heng’s words, Argyll felt that he could not refute him.
Seeing that Evil Bones was about to break through the Lickers’ encirclement, Fang Heng raised his bone spear and charged forward again.
Fang Heng had already made a plan in his mind.
Unlike the alchemy lifeform outside, the Evil Bones had a powerful HP recovery ability. It wasn’t something that could be killed by grinding his HP.
He was going to take it slow and wait for the zombie clones to grind the legendary alchemy body outside to death. He would study it after that.
What if there were related clues on the alchemy body?
It was not easy to see a high-level legendary creature, so he had to get something from it.
Fang Heng realized that after Tang Mingyue left, Evil Bones’ desire to attack had decreased a lot.
Eh?
Just as he was charging toward Evil Bones, Fang Heng’s brows twitched and he dodged to the side.
A huge dark purple stone fell from a high place and landed heavily beside Fang Heng.
Eh? Purple essence?
Seeing the stone at his feet, Fang Heng’s heart moved.
Upon closer inspection, there was a note attached to the purple essence.
“There’s an exit up there. We’ve temporarily escaped. Try the purple essence. Perhaps it’ll be able to deal with that monster.”
Fang Heng read the contents of the note in a low voice and squinted his eyes.
That’s strange, wasn’t the purple essence used to deal with barbarians? It could also deal with cave-dwelling beasts?
Fang Heng’s sharp senses told him that there might be some connection between the two.
Alright, he would give it a try!
Fang Heng clenched his fist and punched the purple essence with all his might.
“Bang!!”
The purple essence was extremely hard. It took Fang Heng more than a dozen punches to break the large piece of purple essence apart. He picked up a sharp spike-shaped purple essence from the ground and held it in his palm, stuffing the rest into his backpack.
“Hu!”
After a short delay, Evil Bones had already broken free from the Lickers’ restraints and was charging at Fang Heng.
The bone spear drew a cyclone in the air.
“Chi!!!”
Evil Bones’ bone spear pierced through the right side of Fang Heng’s heart.
Fang Heng endured the intense pain coming from his body and swung the purple essence at Evil Bones.
“Chi!!!”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
It was effective!
The purple essence was different from before. It easily cut open Evil Bones’ skin and muscles, leaving a long and narrow mark on his body.
“Roar!”
Evil Bones let out a strange howl and kicked Fang Heng backward. At the same time, he pulled out his bone spear and jumped back quickly, carefully keeping a distance from Fang Heng. It seemed that he was extremely afraid of the purple essence in Fang Heng’s hand.
The wounds on his body that had been cut open by the purple essence were exposed with bright red tendrils. However, the wounds did not heal as easily as they had just done. Instead, they were constantly squirming.
Fang Heng was sent flying again. The wound on his body that was pierced by the bone spear was healing rapidly.
Enduring the pain, he carefully checked the game log again.
[Hint: You have dealt damage to Evil Bones.]
That was strange.
It seemed like the purple essence had taken effect, but the game log showed that Evil Bones’ HP had not decreased at all!
“Fang Heng, it’s purple essence. I know, that thing is purple essence! We can think of a way to seal it with purple essence!”
Argyll shouted excitedly when he saw Fang Heng’s action. He pointed at another mural on the side.
“There’s a method of sealing an evil demon by a cave-dwelling beast on the mural. Hurry up and try it!”
Oh?
Fang Heng turned around and looked at the mural that Argyll was pointing at.
On the mural, a strange demon was stabbed to death and nailed to a brown-colored stone slab. There were eight different marks on his body.
The spikes were also drawn in detail by a small half of the mural, and they looked 70% to 80% similar to purple essence.
It might be effective.
It was worth a try!
Fang Heng clenched the purple essence spike in his hand again and charged at Evil Bones.
The surrounding Lickers pounced on Evil Bones again to buy time for Fang Heng.
Evil Bones was instinctively afraid of the purple essence in Fang Heng’s hands, so he did not take the initiative to attack.
This was a good opportunity!
Fang Heng’s figure flitted through the air and arrived in front of Evil Bones.
Teleportation!
“Chi!!”
The purple essence spike easily pierced through Evil Bones’ right wrist.
Fang Heng exerted force in his hand.
“BOOM!!”
Evil Bones was nailed to the wall behind him after the purple essence pierced through his wrist. He let out another hiss and struggled madly, waving his bone spear and stabbing wildly at Fang Heng!
In an instant, Fang Heng’s body was pierced several times by the bone spear.
Fang Heng endured the pain and took out another purple essence spike from his bag, aiming at Evil Bones’ shoulder and stabbing it!
“Chi! Chi Chi!!”
What?!
Fang Heng’s pupils shrank.
A crack appeared on Evil Bones’ wide forehead! Dense red tentacles emerged from the cracks and condensed into sharp spikes, grabbing at him.
The distance between them was too close! The red wriggling tentacle was almost in front of him in an instant!
Chi!
Two red tentacle-like spikes pierced deeply into Fang Heng’s body.
This was terrible!
Fang Heng’s heart tightened. He felt an extremely strong sense of soreness and numbness from the place where he was pierced by the tentacles.
Poison?
[Hint: You have been attacked by an unknown source… you received 433 points of damage.]
[Hint: Authenticating…]
[Hint: You have received the undying body effect. You are immune to the negative effects of this attack.]
Immune?
The numbing sensation on his body quickly dissipated. Fang Heng waved the purple essence in his hand again and hacked at the tentacle!
Chi!
The purple essence spikes cut the tentacle apart like it was tofu.
“Chi Chi Chi…”
The remaining tentacles quickly retracted back into his body.
