1895 Discovered
Jasmin’s forehead was covered in sweat as he looked around.
Around them, as the soldiers fell one by one under the Lickers’ slaughter, cocoons emerged from the fallen corpses.
Newborn undead creatures continued to emerge from the cocoons.
What kind of eerie zombie summoning ability was this?
He had never heard of it in the information about World Lord Fang Heng!
Jasmin felt a chill down his spine. He forced himself to calm down and whispered, “I don’t know what’s going on. It looks like they won’t attack as long as we don’t move. Let’s stay put and not make any sudden moves.”
Seeing the cocoons growing from the corpses, the Holy Paladin team from Holy Court and the warriors of the Jones Kingdom couldn’t help but feel a chill.
Anthea had some knowledge of necromancy, but she had never heard of such a strange and terrifying ability.
The Jones Kingdom soldiers lost any desire to continue the fight. Their only goal was to escape this living hell!
The team’s morale plummeted, and without their formation, they rushed toward the canyon’s exit.
They were afraid that being a bit slower would let the undead creatures catch up.
“Don’t panic! Don’t panic!”
The Holy Paladin team had higher combat skills and wanted to calm the team down.
However, once panic set in, a few comforting words from teammates were not effective.
The Holy Paladin team could only curse their teammates under their breath while barely maintaining formation and escaping towards the canyon exit.
Fang Heng, seeing the enemy attempting to flee, quickly controlled the Licker group to chase after them!
Kick them when they were down!
Moreover, it was a targeted pursuit.
It didn’t matter. The mediocre soldiers of Jones Kingdom could be allowed to escape.
But not a single living force from the Holy Court should be spared!
Seeing that the Holy Court was entangled by the undead creatures, the soldiers of Jones Kingdom had no intention of helping. Instead, they ran even faster, fearing being entangled.
Anthea, realizing she couldn’t control the situation, could only retreat from the canyon under the escort of her guards to regroup the panicked team.
The battle had just begun, and the team had already suffered significant losses.
Anthea looked towards the canyon mouth, where screams still echoed, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.
The Enkama Empire had a profound background.
There were even rumors of possessing the power to control death.
In comparison, other than the elite heavy-armored knights of Jones Kingdom, the other soldiers were no match.
This time, Jones Kingdom had recklessly joined forces with the Holy Court. The final consequences might be beyond their endurance!
In the group, there were not only players like Jasmin. The remaining players who had accepted the relevant missions followed the party from afar. When they saw the situation worsening, they ran even faster. Upon discovering Fang Heng’s Lickers and undead creatures, they immediately fled.
After escaping the canyon, the few players looked at each other, feeling fortunate to have survived a catastrophe.
Breaking news!
It was suspected that World Lord Fang Heng had appeared in the Enkama Empire!
They had to inform the Holy Court immediately!
..
[Jasmin successfully repelled the joint reconnaissance team of Jones Kingdom. He gained 9028 undead faction contribution points and 2,400,000 Enkama Empire contribution points.]
[Current mission for the player: Snipe the frontline Holy Court army. The mission completion rate increased to 9.2%. The estimated remaining time for the current mission is 162 minutes.]
[Current mission for the player, Rescue Ciboreya (Team) completion rate increased to 0.81%.]
Inside the canyon, Fang Heng glanced at the game prompts. Then, he lifted his head to control the zombies, ensuring the elimination of the remaining ensnared soldiers from the Jones Kingdom and the Holy Court.
Flesh cocoons quickly formed on the corpses, giving rise to new zombie clones that joined the team.
Following the ambush, the number of zombie clones increased by over two thousand.
Jasmin and the other two players found themselves surrounded by layers of zombies.
They didn’t dare to move.
Moving meant death.
Whether to die early or late…
What if a miracle happened?
After a moment, the zombie crowd in front of the players parted, creating a path.
A young man wearing a mask walked toward them.
“Fang, Fang Heng, World Lord…”
Jasmin knew this moment would come sooner or later. He took a deep breath, mustering courage as he stepped forward, cupping his hands and saying, “We didn’t know it was you. We apologize for delaying your mission. It wasn’t intentional. Please don’t lower yourself to our level. We’ll leave now.”
Fang Heng gazed at Jasmin in surprise.
“Oh? Do you know me?”
“Uh… You’re famous. There are detailed pictures of the Licker and the zombie army you control on the Internet…”
“I see. Forget it.”
Fang Heng thought it was troublesome.
Someone, for reasons unknown, took the time to create a poll on the Internet for the best news person of the year.
His name securely secured a spot in the top three.
The personal details were quite comprehensive.
He had come across it on the official website before.
While the information about his skills was somewhat outdated and vague, at least most players outside now knew of his ability to control zombies and Lickers.
As soon as the Licker appeared, there was no hiding it.
After all, zombies could somewhat disguise themselves as undead, but Lickers were a bit trickier to conceal, and it was normal for them to be easily identified.
“I’d like to inquire about the internal situation of Jones Country.”
Fang Heng softly waved his hand, and the surrounding zombie creatures slowly withdrew.
“We’re all players, different factions, and I comprehend each of your choices for survival.”
Fang Heng spoke while lightly tapping his finger.
The zombie clones lined up and walked slowly past Fang Heng, dropping the equipment they had collected from the recently defeated Jones Kingdom team on the ground.
These were all low-level items that Fang Heng didn’t find valuable.
Due to transaction limits, even if he sold these items, he couldn’t convert them into the God Points he urgently needed.
Yet, they still occupied his backpack and added to his weight.
Soon, a minimal mountain of equipment piled up beside Fang Heng.
Jasmin and the other two players gazed at Fang Heng and the stack of equipment, over a meter tall. They carefully swallowed their saliva, not understanding Fang Heng’s intentions.
“I don’t like to force others to do things. If possible, I’d like to gather some information from you, and in return, you can help me with something. As a token of appreciation, I’m willing to provide some equipment. Each of you can choose five pieces from the entire collection.”
Upon hearing Fang Heng’s words, Jasmin and the others’ eyes lit up.
The equipment dropped in the recent battle included not only the standard gear of the Jones Kingdom but also some dropped by the Holy Court’s Holy Paladins!
Among them were rare items exclusive to the Holy Court!
If these items could be sold on the black market, they could fetch a good amount of money.
“Are you serious?”
