“No.”
Fang Heng felt a headache and waved his hand to deny it.
He was enjoying killing monsters, so why had they stopped?
He asked, “What do you think the situation is?”
“It might be an alarm device. There’s something wrong with the fallen corridor, which caused a special alarm.”
Dong Jiachen brought a few players over to join the discussion. “Boss, there’s a risk if we continue to stay here. Such an emergency might very well mean that the fallen corridor has encountered a problem. I suggest that we evacuate first.”
Evacuate?
Stop work?
Stop making money?
Fang Heng frowned and turned around to take a look at the corridor.
Something unfortunate had happened, so this wave was a bit of a loss.
Forget it, their lives were more important.
Right now, the spawn point was not far from the entrance of the fallen hall. It was better to go back and take a look at the situation first.
At most, they could come back when the time came!
“Yeah, you’re right. We’ll go back and take a look first. If we confirm that there’s no problem, we’ll come back.”
“Alright, I’ll go talk to them.”
Everyone listened to Fang Heng’s instructions as they packed up their equipment and tools and prepared to return. The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard not far in front of them.
They looked in the direction of the sound and saw Pu Shi leading a group of people towards them.
“Teacher Pu Shi.”
Everyone bowed to him.
Even Teacher Pu Shi, who was in charge of guarding the fallen corridor, had arrived…
Li Shaoqiang’s bad feelings grew even stronger.
He took a small step forward and asked, “Teacher Pu Shi, you’re here too. Did something happen?”
Pu Shi frowned when he saw Fang Heng and the other players.
He did not answer but focused his gaze on Fang Heng instead.
“Fang Heng? You’ve been here the whole time?”
Li Shaoqiang answered first, “Yes, Teacher. We were all here just now and never left.”
Pu Shi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “There’s a situation. Everyone, return to the fallen hall immediately. Stay in the hall until the lock on the fallen hall is lifted, understand!”
“Yes!”
All the players answered at the same time.
Pu Shi waved his hand. He was about to lead his people to check when he suddenly frowned and his expression changed slightly.
He turned his head and stared in a certain direction in the passage of the maze.
The players also followed Pu Shi’s gaze.
From afar, the soul candles burning on both sides of the walls of the maze were extinguished one by one.
In an instant, the entire fallen corridor fell into darkness.
Only the soul candles in everyone’s hands provided a weak light.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!”
Then, a few loud explosions sounded one after another.
Fang Heng felt an earthquake-like violent shaking coming from under his feet.
When the shaking completely stopped, the surroundings fell into silence.
No one said anything, and the atmosphere in the fallen hall became extremely heavy for a moment.
Fang Heng did not know what had happened, but he noticed that the players did not look too good.
He reached out and nudged Li Shaoqiang, who was beside him, and asked in a low voice, “What’s the situation?”
“Fang Heng, it’s a special setting of the fallen corridor. The real world will automatically trigger the safety mechanism in order to protect the safety of the real world in an extremely dangerous situation. All the entrances and exits will be completely sealed.”
Li Shaoqiang’s face was slightly pale as he explained in a low voice, “The sealing stone that just landed is the one that trapped us here temporarily. We can’t get out.”
Pu Shi was shocked.
What kind of problem did they encounter that even the final seal was triggered?
Was someone trying to make a move on the death realm crevice?
At the moment, they still needed to figure out what exactly happened.
They had to go to the central region to check as soon as possible.
Pu Shi pondered for a moment on the spot and quickly made a judgment. He said in a deep voice, “Did you hear that? The sealing stone has already landed. The fallen corridor has encountered a problem.”
“Now, all those who have elementary necromancy and above, follow me into the central region of the fallen corridor to investigate. The rest of you, stand by!”
“Yes! Teacher!”
As they spoke, the players quickly split into two teams.
One team was made up of players who had at least mastered elementary necromancy, and the other team was made up of players who had yet to officially enter the game.
Hmm?
Fang Heng hesitated for a moment.
Speaking of which, it seemed like he had also advanced to elementary necromancy.
Should he go with them?
“Let’s go!”
Pu Shi was anxious. He did not have the time to confirm. With a wave of his hand, he led everyone toward the center of the seal.
Should he follow them and take a look?
Fang Heng quickly figured it out.
In the end, he could not help but feel like a spectator watching a show.
Let’s go!
It sounded like something big had happened. He had to go over and take a look!
If he ran into big trouble, he could also think of a way to take the initiative.
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo had not advanced to elementary necromancy. They could only silently stay where they were and quickly exchanged glances with Fang Heng.
“You guys stay here. I’ll go take a look. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay, take care.”
…
Fang Heng, who was mingling with a group of high-tier players, followed the team to the central region of the fallen hall.
Along the way, the team encountered many wandering undead bodies.
Without Fang Heng’s help, the necromancers in the team quickly killed them one by one.
Dong Jiachen, who was on the team, noticed Fang Heng. He deliberately walked to Fang Heng’s side.
Dong Jiachen had earned a little money with Fang Heng over the past two days. Now that he was in a crisis, he felt that he should try his best to take care of his boss.
“Fang Heng, this matter is very serious. Otherwise, the sealing stone wouldn’t have triggered the complete closure of the fallen corridor,” Dong Jiachen explained to Fang Heng in a low voice, “We are now following Teacher Pu Shi into the central region to investigate. Hopefully, we won’t run into any big trouble.”
Fang Heng asked, “Is there an enemy invasion?”
“It doesn’t seem like it. Those who are able to enter the fallen corridor have gone through the Federation’s approval process. Ordinary people can’t enter at all…”
Fang Heng nodded. “Then what’s the reason?”
“The best outcome is that the seal will naturally break, causing the death realm’s energy to leak out and cause an alarm. However, a few instructors will conduct a routine check every month. This kind of situation rarely happens. The worst-case scenario would be terrible. Perhaps the death realm has…”
As the two of them were discussing in a low voice, Fang Heng noticed that a large door made of white bones had appeared in front of them.
In the middle of the door, the eyes of a skeleton reflected a blue soul fire.
The messy and protruding bone spikes on the door frame looked even stranger under the illumination of the soul fire.
Pu Shi stood in front of the Door of Bones. His expression became even gloomier.
He took a deep breath and slowly pushed it open.
“Let’s go.”
Pu Shi was the first to enter.
“It’s over, we’re going to…”
Hearing Dong Jiachen muttering to himself, Fang Heng turned his head and asked softly, “What do you mean? Why is it bad again?”
“The fallen corridor is divided into thirteen levels, five levels in the outer region, four levels in the central region, three levels in the inner region, and the innermost central region.”
“Every region has access restrictions. You can understand it as a restriction set up by the Necromancer Association, which is what we see now as the Door of Bones.”
