Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2415  Upgrade

Norbert hurriedly stepped in to stop everyone, his heart pounding as he glanced at Fang Heng and continued, "We really can't continue like this. If the death knight space explodes, we'll all be caught in it, and we'll all perish in the aftermath of the explosion."

Everyone fell silent, turning their gazes toward Fang Heng.

Fang Heng observed the large chunk of shattered, crystalline stone pillar in the center and nodded, "Well, while we still have time, let's absorb it."

Upon hearing this, everyone began to condense their marks and restarted the process of absorbing the energy aura leaking from the sealing stone pillar.

Seeing that Fang Heng had ceased his intense actions, Norbert, relieved, began to absorb the energy himself and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Good grief, it had been so exhausting!

If Fang Heng had continued, the Holy Court's seal might have been completely blown open.

As Fang Heng concentrated on rapidly absorbing the undead aura energy in front of him, a massive vortex of undead energy once again formed high in the sky.

A large amount of undead aura was drawn into Fang Heng's body and converted into necromancy experience points.

Although Fang Heng absorbed ninety-nine percent of the aura, the other players nearby still benefited from the remaining energy.

For them, the experience points required for leveling up were much less than what Fang Heng needed, so they were quite satisfied with the gains they were receiving.

...

Punoze.

Domain of the Tower of Bones.

Twenty-four Purifiers from the Holy Realm had infiltrated the city through a special ritual.

These twenty-four individuals occupied the twelve corners of a large magic array. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

Golden light burst forth in unison.

...

Whoosh!

In the hall, Fang Heng suddenly opened his eyes.

The efficiency was still somewhat lacking.

The experience points required for grandmaster-level necromancy were enormous, and considering he had also studied numerous other disciplines, the experience points needed were hundreds of times more than those required by ordinary players.

Even though he was absorbing a massive amount of undead aura energy, and the cultivation speed seemed terrifying to ordinary players, he estimated that it would still take him over half a month of intense effort to reach the maximum level.

Under normal circumstances, he would have just kept grinding.

But with the Holy Court already on the attack, Fang Heng estimated that he had at most a few more hours before reaching his limit.

He couldn't just focus on immediate interests.

Fang Heng knew he couldn't focus solely on immediate gains. He needed to find a way to further enhance his efficiency.

As he pondered, Fang Heng stopped his absorption and looked up at the damaged sealing stone in front of him.

Whoosh!

Immediately, the vortex of undead aura energy swirling above Fang Heng's head dispersed.

Hmm?!

Norbert, who had seen Fang Heng calmly cultivating and absorbing for over ten minutes before suddenly stopping and walking towards the central sealing stone, felt his heart leap into his throat once more.

What's happening?

Why was he starting to move around again?

Big Brother!

Please don't mess things up! Please!!!

If kneeling would help, Norbert would gladly drop to his knees and bow repeatedly, just hoping Fang Heng would sit down and continue absorbing the undead aura energy steadily.

Norbert's heart raced as he stood up and walked over to Fang Heng. He approached Fang Heng's side and asked softly, "Fang Heng, have you discovered another problem?"

"Hmm."

Fang Heng responded with a brief sound, his eyes still fixed on the central sealing stone pillar.

The sealing stone pillar was indeed on the verge of breaking apart. If it continued, as Norbert had said, it would shatter completely.

At that point, if the external seal was broken, would the death knight space really explode as Norbert mentioned?

Fang Heng wasn't sure about that.

He inquired, "What exactly is the death knight space?"

"What?" Norbert was taken aback. "What are you asking?"

"The death knight space—is it a specially created realm where the death knight is sealed?"

"I'm not sure," Norbert said, looking a bit confused. He shook his head repeatedly. "I've only heard the name; I don't know the details."

"Hmm."

Fang Heng didn't doubt it and continued to observe.

Through the cracks in the sealing stone, he could clearly see the spatial fluctuations emerging from the opening.

From the perspective of spatial science, this was likely a specially formed space.

Since it seemed unfeasible to release the death knight from this special space at the moment, perhaps he could try entering it himself?

As members of the undead faction, he might be able to negotiate with them.

Moreover...

The undead aura energy was leaking from the seal. Clearly, even the aura leaking from the seal provided such a vast amount of experience points, which meant that the space contained even more massive amounts of undead aura energy—and thus, even more experience points!

If he could find a way to absorb all of it...

A hint of greed gleamed in Fang Heng's eyes.

Norbert had a troubling premonition and swallowed nervously, watching Fang Heng with a quivering lip. "Fang Heng, what are you planning to do?"

"I want to go inside and take a look."

What?!

Norbert's heart skipped a beat.

"Go inside?!"

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang stopped their absorption of necromancy energy and moved to stand behind Fang Heng.

Although they were also tempted by the undead energy, they quickly followed Fang Heng's lead. After all, the mission from the Federation was of utmost importance.

The safety of Punoze was crucial to the balance of power between the undead and the Holy Court.

Tan Shuo whispered, "Fang Heng, have you discovered something?"

"Hmm, I want to go inside the sealed death knight space and take a look."

"What?"

Li Shaoqiang was startled by Fang Heng's plan.

Could that even be done?

"It's fine. I can ensure my own safety. You two stay outside and keep watch."

Fang Heng made no attempt to consult Norbert, immediately squatting down and clearing a clean spot on the floor beside the stone pillar. He began to set up a magic array.

The breach in the seal was quite small, so entering the space would require the aid of a magic array.

"No, this, this..."

Norbert was nearly frantic as he watched Fang Heng's actions.

What was he doing? Wasn't it safer to stay outside?

Why did he insist on going in?

Norbert's mind raced, desperately trying to think of how to persuade Fang Heng to abandon this idea. "Fang Heng, is this really a good idea? Isn't there a risk?"

"Shh."

Fang Heng placed a finger over his lips, shaking his head and making a silent gesture.

"Quiet. I need to concentrate on setting up the magic array."

"Alright, alright..."

This was insane!

Norbert was extremely anxious.

Everything was turning out completely different from the original plan!

In fact, he had only heard from the Holy Court that the sealing stone pillar contained the death knight space, but he had no idea of the specifics.

Everything happening now was entirely different from what he had originally planned!

Wasn't it supposed to be that Fang Heng, being a demonic seed of Greed, would stay here to absorb the energy?

Why was he not following the Holy Court's predictions at all?
