1098 Water Curtain
With the purple essence in his hand, Mikhael displayed his might on the battlefield. He even had a slight advantage when dealing with two Tier 1 demonized barbarians.
The massacre went on for more than half an hour. The battle began to come to an end as the two Tier 1 demonized barbarians fled.
Although Mikhael could temporarily suppress the two Tier 1 demonized barbarians, he couldn’t really make them stay.
Without the leader of the team, the remaining barbarian team fell into chaos and quickly scattered.
Wei Tao didn’t command his team to chase. Instead, he maintained the formation.
With the lesson learned, Wei Tao let Tang Mingyue stay at the back of the team and walked toward Fang Heng with Mikhael.
“Fang Heng, it’s a good thing you came in time to help us. Otherwise, we would be in trouble.”
Wei Tao sighed and rejoiced in his heart.
He felt that he had really made a fortune by bringing Fang Heng into the game!
Without Fang Heng, they might still be fighting the barbarians in Hani City.
Fang Heng smiled, “I’m quite lucky. I just happened to make it.”
Mikhael also nodded at Fang Heng to express his gratitude. He then shifted his gaze to the group of cave-dwelling beasts at the side and asked, “But Fang Heng, what’s the situation with them?”
Fang Heng and Argyll looked at each other.
On the way here, they had already learned a lot from the leader of the cave-dwelling creatures.
“The cave-dwelling creatures have made a contract with the human ancestors. Many of the things that happened before were misunderstandings. I’ll explain these later. The mission has not been completed yet, so let’s search the battlefield first.”
Wei Tao looked at the mission notification.
The reward mission required him to kill the barbarian team and explore the barbarian camp area.
Most of the barbarians had been killed, and the remaining barbarian camp needed to be explored carefully.
The time limit for the mission was already half over, so it was better to complete the remaining exploration.
Wei Tao nodded, “Yes, okay, let’s think of a way to complete the mission first.”
“The leader said that there is a cave behind the waterfall at the edge of the camp. The inside of the cave has always been a forbidden area for the cave-dwelling beasts. They think that the barbarians are probably here for the forbidden area behind the cave.”
Argyll communicated with the leader of the cave-dwelling creatures for a while, then looked at the crowd and continued to explain, “The cave-dwelling beasts believe that the clansmen who enter the forbidden area will be cursed, so they usually don’t go near the forbidden area. They will wait for us here.”
“Mm, tell them that we’re going to check the inside of the forbidden area.”
The cave-dwelling beasts didn’t stop Fang Heng and his group from entering the forbidden area, nor did they go any further into the forbidden area. They obediently stayed where they were.
The barbarian team had been completely defeated, leaving only a small number of flying snakes flying over from the distance.
Without the help of the barbarians, the flying snakes were no longer a threat to the players.
The team of players cleared the remaining flying snakes along the way and once again advanced in the direction of the camp.
Soon, they entered the area of the barbarian camp. Wei Tao signaled for the accompanying players to spread out and search.
Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the waterfall on the right.
As soon as he entered the barbarian camp, he sensed a weak energy fluctuation coming from the direction of the waterfall.
Tang Mingyue also sensed something. She could not help but look at the waterfall and said, “Did you all feel it? There’s an energy fluctuation behind the waterfall.”
Wei Tao and Mikhael looked at each other.
The two of them were far less sensitive to the fluctuations of power than Tang Mingyue and Fang Heng, so they didn’t feel anything.
“The leader of the cave-dwelling creatures also mentioned the forbidden area behind the waterfall. It seems that there are indeed some clues there. Everyone, be careful. Let’s go and take a look first.”
The group followed the passage beside the waterfall and slanted through the smooth passage until they arrived in front of the cave behind the waterfall’s water curtain.
Looking at the scene inside the cave, everyone’s faces suddenly changed.
Bug eggs!
The ceiling of the cave was filled with a large number of brown eggs.
Each of the eggs was about the size of a hornet’s nest, and a large number of them had already cracked, with green mucus dripping from the broken holes.
There was a sour smell in the air.
“It’s the eggs of the flying snake. It seems that the group of flying snakes was born here.”
Mo Jiawei endured his disgust and took a few steps forward. He used his detection skill to check the condition of the eggs.
Tang Mingyue stood at the door. She felt that it was too disgusting inside and didn’t want to get close, “Hurry up and think of a way to get rid of them.”
“Hey, Fang Heng, look at that.”
Mo Jiawei noticed something. He pulled Fang Heng beside him and pointed to the center of the cave.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Fang Heng also squinted his eyes.
He had long noticed the black rock in the depths of the cave.
This was it!
Fang Heng slowly walked into the depths of the cave until he came to the front of the rock. He stretched out his hand and touched the black rock.
A line of game notifications appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player has obtained an unknown rock.]
[Item: Unknown rock.]
Description: Unknown rock.
Description: This special item cannot be placed in the backpack or pass through the time passage.
That’s right! This was it!
There was one at the bottom of the lake in Cesar Forest, and another in the royal treasury.
This was the third piece!
Although Fang Heng was not sure what the rock was, he was sure of one thing.
The rock contained powerful energy that could be absorbed by the sacred tree!
Fang Heng could feel that the power contained in this black rock was much greater than the one he found at the bottom of the Cesar Forest Lake, but it was a little smaller than the one hidden in the royal treasury.
If the sacred tree could devour it, it would probably be able to upgrade again.
He didn’t make a loss this time!
He would bring it back for the sacred tree to devour!
Thinking of this, Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the dense eggs on the ceiling of the rock wall, deep in thought.
Combined with the large swarm of dragon mosquitoes he had seen in the Cesar Forest, if he was not wrong, the barbarians might have used the power of the black rock to speed up the growth of the flying snakes and dragon mosquitoes…
So the barbarians might know the origin of the rock?
Also, this is a forbidden area for the cave-dwelling beasts, so this rock was originally hidden here?
Would the cave-dwelling beasts know about the rock’s origin?
While Fang Heng was thinking, the players, led by Wei Tao, had already taken out flamethrowers to clean up the eggs left in the cave.
When the entire cave had been cleared, line after line of game notifications appeared in everyone’s vision.
[Hint: The player team has completed the reward mission-kill.]
[Hint: The player team has received an additional 24 hours of trial time.]
[Hint: The player team has received an additional friendship rating with the cave-dwelling beasts. The player team has received an additional 50,000 Empire merit points.]
…..
Half an hour later, Fang Heng and the others arrived at a camp under the leadership of the cave-dwelling beasts.
Argyll translated the leader’s words to the crowd, albeit with difficulty.
“Well, yes, if I’m not mistaken, that’s what it is. It said that a long time ago, the ancestors of the cave-dwelling beasts had reached an agreement with the Empire. They would store the demonic seed in the underground world, but some time ago, there was a strange movement in the underground world, and the barbarians wanted to plunder the demonic seed.”
