1596 Ancestor’s Remains
As for going further…
To ensure that nothing unexpected happened, it was best to find out what the source of the shady line was.
As he thought about it, Fang Heng focused his gaze on the crack under the great holy sword.
The strength that could freeze souls came from this crack.
Affected by the frost aura, the scattered Bones around the crack were covered in a thin layer of frost.
Bones!
Right, the City Lord’s ancestor, the frost-white Bones, lived not far from the great holy sword.
Through Kou Ming, Fang Heng knew that the Federation had already found a way to open the secret passage to Frost Hell ahead of time.
At that time, he could leave through the secret passage.
When he leaves, he could take the Bones with him and complete the mission to find the ancestor’s corpse issued by the owner of the Frost Fortress.
Fang Heng had a hunch that this mission might be related to the secret of the source of the shady line.
However…
How could he get the Bones out?
Unfortunately, the Bones was located at the inner edge of the barrier created by the great holy sword.
He had to try!
Fang Heng switched to his holy form and stepped into the area enveloped by the Holy Light again.
They arrived in front of the bones of the City Lord’s ancestor.
He was less than five centimeters away from the Bones, but he was blocked by the Holy Shield and could not touch it.
What could break through the defensive barrier?
Fang Heng looked around, then lowered his head to look at the defensive barrier, deep in thought.
Ji Xiaobo finished injecting the blue dust into the Bones and prepared to use the next wave of spirit imprints on Bones.
When he saw Fang Heng standing there in a daze, he could not help but wave his hand and shout, “Brother Fang, I’m done. We can start our operation.”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng didn’t turn around. He continued to stare at the holy barrier in front of him and asked, “Do you know of any way to temporarily break through this holy barrier?”
“It can’t be, right? This defensive shield is too powerful.”
“Or can we think of a way to extract the Bones?”
Ji Xiaobo also went to the outermost layer of the Holy Light and looked inside, shaking his head.
He had never seen the strength of the great holy sword before.
It was impossible to break it.
“It’s useless, Brother Fang. The defensive barrier strength is too strong. Just the external fluctuations can stop the undead Bones leader. The internal barrier is hundreds of times stronger than the external barrier.”
“Hmm? What about attacking from the inside?”
“Internally?” Ji Xiaobo blinked, confused. He continued, “How to do that? Are you saying that you can use the undead spell to resurrect Bones? And let it walk out on its own? In theory, the moment it is resurrected, he would be instantly shattered by the holy aura…”
“Hmm, that makes sense!”
Suddenly, Fang Heng’s eyes lit up as he looked at Ji Xiaobo with admiration.
“Your idea is very good.”
“Hmm? Brother Fang, what did you say? What idea?”
“According to your thinking, since we can’t enter the barrier and take it out, we should think of a way to make the corpse come out on its own.”
“Huh?”
Ji Xiaobo looked at Fang Heng, dumbfounded. Did he really say that?
Soon, under Fang Heng’s control, more than 30 zombie clones staggered to the edge of the physical barrier created by the great holy sword and took down the multi-functional alloy shovel tied to their waists.
The zombie clones picked up shovels and started digging.
“Crack!”
The alloy shovel hit the ground, making a hard collision sound.
It worked!
After years of being baptized by the cold aura, the soil below the cave had become hard and frozen.
With the help of the alloy shovel and Fang Heng’s zombie clone’s high strength attribute, he could still dig.
It was just that the efficiency was a little slow.
Ji Xiaobo watched the zombies with his mouth agape.
How could it be like this?
With the great holy sword as the center, the surrounding barriers condensed into a three-dimensional circular barrier area.
Therefore, as long as the zombie clones dug a large pit under the edge, they would be able to dig out the hard frozen soil under the corpses.
Theoretically, the Bones at the edge of the barrier would fall down due to gravity.
Really?
Ji Xiaobo wasn’t in a hurry to imprint the ice bones, and he stayed outside the area enveloped by the holy aura to observe.
Half an hour later, Ji Xiaobo stood in the distance, looking at Fang Heng silently.
Fang Heng’s plan seemed to have a slight flaw.
Ji Xiaobo whispered, “Brother Fang? It doesn’t seem like it’s going to work?”
The ground was affected by the aura of the source of the shady line, and it was frozen hard. Although the zombie clones had dug a big hole below, the frozen soil was attached to the frozen soil and could not fall down.
“It hasn’t started yet.”
Fang Heng took half a step forward as he spoke. He stood still against the Holy Light barrier and looked at the countdown on his retina.
“Three, two…”
Sizzle!
At the same time the countdown was completed, magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng, and the Lickers attacked from the magic arrays!
Accompanied by the wails of the zombies, greenish-gray palms stretched out from the hard frozen soil!
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone (Licker) and zombie clone have been revived.]
A few zombie clones that were randomly resurrected in the central area of the great holy sword barrier had just reached out their hands from the soil. Before they could completely climb out of the ground, they were immediately sent flying by the holy barrier or exploded on the spot!
Bang!!
The zombies that were still in the frozen earth exploded or were sent flying, directly causing a small area of frozen earth in front of them to shatter!
“Hualala…”
Following that, a small piece of frozen earth in the air instantly collapsed!
Even the corpses on the frozen ground fell into the hole dug by the zombie clones!
Amazing!
Ji Xiaobo waved his fist at the sight, his eyes filled with excitement.
There was actually such an operation!
Fang Heng saw that the skill was effective and was also happy. He jumped down from the hole dug by the zombie clones at once.
The corpses had become extremely hard after being affected by the frost aura, and they were even frozen together.
Fang Heng looked at the golden ring on the skeleton’s finger and tried to touch it.
A series of game notifications appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player has discovered an unknown corpse. The player has triggered a mission-Ancestor’s remains.]
Mission title: Ancestor’s remains.
Mission description: You have discovered a corpse while exploring the Frost Hell. Judging from the golden ring on the corpse’s hand, the corpse is most likely the remains of the ancestor of the City Lord of Frost Fortress. You have heard that the City Lord of Frost Fortress is issuing a mission to search for the corpse of the ancestor.
Mission requirement: Bring the frozen corpse and the golden ring out of the Hell of Ice and hand them over to the City Lord of Frost Fortress.
Mission reward: Follow-up mission, special points reward.
Done! Mission triggered!
And it was just as he had guessed.
From the mission description, there was indeed a follow-up to this mission!
And it was very likely related to the source of the shady line!
Next, he only needed to bring the ancestor’s remains out of there.
