Along the way, the game’s notifications rang like crazy.
At this point, Tang Mingyue had already gone to the dark side. She secretly prayed that the team would move faster!
Cheng Jiqiang watched as the team followed a secret path deep into the forest. He asked for the third time, “Your Highness Mingyue, the barbarian race hasn’t come after us yet. This area is very suitable for hiding. I suggest we stop immediately.”
“No, let’s go deeper.”
“Your Highness Mingyue, we are getting further and further away from the Empire city. If this goes on, it will be difficult for the reinforcements to come to our aid. Are we going to…”
As soon as he finished speaking, several explosions suddenly erupted from the rear of the team!
Cheng Jiqiang looked behind him and saw that there was a commotion at the back of the team.
The ‘demons’ covered in black stratum corneum had appeared out of nowhere and started to attack the party.
“Be careful! It’s the enemy!”
“The barbarian race! The barbarian race is coming!”
“Protect the materials!”
Cheng Jiqiang frowned and immediately led the Empire’s guard regiment to fight!
“You guys stay here to stop the barbarians. We’ll retreat first!”
Seeing that the elite soldiers were once again entangled by the demons, Tang Mingyue shouted and commanded the team of players to run forward with the goods.
Cheng Jiqiang wanted to say something, but the barbarian’s attack hit his big sword and forced him to take two steps back.
When he looked back, Tang Mingyue had already run far away with a few boxes of supplies.
Cheng Jiqiang took a deep breath and had no choice but to concentrate on dealing with the demons in front of him.
On the other hand, Tang Mingyue was running forward with her team, looking back from time to time with some reluctance.
There were too many treasures in the royal treasury!
It would take too much time to move all of them. When she left the treasure vault, she had only moved a third of it.
Now that they were in a hurry, they couldn’t take everything with them, and they lost two-thirds of their treasures.
After doing some calculations, she suffered a huge loss.
Tang Mingyue’s eyes were filled with tears.
“Stop looking. Your guards are very strong. The ‘demons’ won’t be able to stop them. We don’t have time to move everything.”
Fang Heng also had a headache.
After testing it out, the demons’ attack aggro wasn’t very high.
Perhaps the demons were still a little dazed when the seal had just been lifted. After they woke up, they would often attack a few times and when they realise that they could not defeat the enemy, they would retreat decisively.
“Yes, I can’t help it…”
Tang Mingyue responded in a low voice, her heart aching as if a knife was cutting it.
Fang Heng had no choice but to think of a way to divert Tang Mingyue’s attention. He shouted, “It’s just in front, we’re here!”
In front of him, a large circle was drawn on the ground with gray powder.
The accompanying team of players was already prepared and immediately stood in the circle with the accompanying supplies.
Fang Heng also stood in the circle, opened the game log, and sent a bomb signal to a zombie clone.
Standing aside, Mikhael looked at Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue in silence and thought, “So you all laid out so many things just to snatch this wave of Empire treasures? And now why did you all stop?”
Mikhael could not help but ask, “What about now? What are we waiting for?”
Tang Mingyue said, “Waiting for the ship to set sail.”
“Hmm?”
“BOOM! Boom Boom!!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the explosives that had been buried underground exploded at the same time, and the ground under his feet collapsed along with the surrounding ground!
A trap?!
With a thought, Mikhael immediately used his skill to float in the air.
Meanwhile, the other players were already prepared and did not panic at all. They controlled their falling bodies and jumped down with the large boxes beside them.
“Thump! Thump Thump!!”
The players and the boxes landed on the huge inflatable lifeboats at the bottom of the pit.
Eh?
Seeing the familiar lifeboats below, Mikhael immediately reacted.
Good lord, this trick again?
After landing on the inflatable lifeboat, Tang Mingyue immediately raised her magic staff horizontally in front of her chest.
“Water dragon, break!”
“Roar!”
The dragon’s head which was condensed from water rushed forward and crashed into the rock wall not far away!
Following that, other players also took out magic scrolls from their backpacks.
“Water spirit.”
“Water, heaven overflowing!”
“Tsunami…”
More than a dozen water-type spells were cast at the rock wall behind the tunnel!
The water current created by magic carried the inflatable lifeboat down to a lower altitude.
Victor was already on the lifeboat to receive everyone, and he shouted, “Guys, there’s some shrapnel on the lifeboat. Please help clean it up!”
After the players had finished casting a set of water-type magic scrolls, they immediately threw the falling rocks from the inflatable lifeboat.
Success!
Fang Heng stood on the lifeboat, feeling a little excited.
He and Tang Mingyue looked at each other and clenched their fists.
“Happy working together.”
Fang Heng stretched out his hand and opened the box beside him, which was marked with a rune.
The box was filled to the brim with magic cores. There were at least fifty of them!
Fang Heng picked one up and observed it. The magic core in his palm emitted a faint orange-yellow light.
[Hint: Player has found an item-magic core.]
Item: Magic core.
Description: A core refined from various magical materials. It is a tool to build certain special magical buildings.
Special description (will be triggered when the player’s basic will reaches 50 points and has mastered any related academic skill): This item has been marked with a magic tracking seal. The player can use mental power to remove the seal.
Special description (triggered by a special trial difficulty): This item has been determined to be a special item. After removing the restriction, the player will be judged to have executed the ‘plunder’ action on this special item. The item will be in a plundered state for three hours. During this period, the player will not be able to use the item.
Special description (triggered by a special trial): This item has been determined to be a special item. The player cannot put it in his backpack or take it out of the game.
Fang Heng’s eyelids twitched slightly.
He knew that the mission would not be that simple. Not only was it restricted from being used for three hours, but the treasure was also marked with a magic tracking mark.
Fang Heng suddenly activated his spiritual power, and the spiritual brand attached to the magic core dissipated instantly.
The game notification appeared on his retina again.
[Hint: It has been detected that player ‘plundered’ is a special item in the Empire’s royal treasury, determining…]
[Hint: The player has obtained an item with the advantage of the trial.]
[Hint: Balancing… The player’s behavior will cause some players to receive the hostile mission.]
It wouldn’t be that simple!
It was another player’s hostile mission.
Fang Heng rubbed his neck gently, looked at the others, and nodded, “Everyone, be careful. The Empire has placed a magic tracing mark on the treasures. Let’s think of a way to erase the mark first. Well, just leave two boxes.”
