1240 Imprisonment

“BOOM!”

“Thump! Dong!”

Fang Heng raised his head and looked into the distance. A tall figure was walking back and forth at the passage opening.

Sensing an unfamiliar presence approaching, the monster slowly turned its head.

Fang Heng also looked at the monster.

He was not a normal human.

He was about two meters tall and his muscles were anomaly strong. He was wearing thick armor on his torso and he held a heavy hammer in his hands. His eyes were flashing red.

“Be careful! He’s a mutated soldier of the Empire! Using a purple essence weapon can deal five times the damage!”

Seeing this, Wu Shijiang quickly relayed the information to Fang Heng and took two steps back to hide behind the team.

He had not participated in the previous underground palace exploration, but he had heard about it from his team members.

The strength of these mutated soldiers was terrifying.

Previously, when several major gaming teams had joined forces to explore the underground palace, they had suffered a great loss because of them!

They were extremely difficult to deal with even if a targeted purple essence weapon was used!

“Thump! Thump thump!!”

The mutated soldier raised his heavy hammer and slowly accelerated toward the crowd!

“Hu!”

A cold wind with ice crystals blew in the underground palace.

Tang Mingyue had no intention of retreating. She raised her staff in front of her and gathered her spells.

“Ka ka ka…”

A layer of ice crystal quickly covered the body of the muscular monster, and its speed slowed down uncontrollably.

“Whoosh!!!”

Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei dashed forward, one on the left and one on the right.

The bloodthirst long sword quickly slashed forward!

“Swish!”

The long sword cut a long and narrow wound on the mutated soldier’s body, and dark red blood spurted out from the wound!

[Hint: You have dealt 328 points of damage to the infected elite soldier of the Empire. The bloodthirst sting has been passively activated. You have received 164 points of health recovery and 0.3 points of strength attribute…]

“Hu!”

The mutated elite soldier of the Empire swung his huge hammer forward.

“Thump!!!”

A crack appeared on the ground as the iron hammer hit it. Fang Heng’s body stopped.

[Hint: You have received a shock effect.]

Fang Heng squinted his eyes and made a judgment on the spot.

The enemy’s normal attacks had a negative effect of shock for about 0.3 seconds.

However, it was not dangerous.

His attack pattern was too simple, and his attack speed was too slow.

After all, with the help of Tang Mingyue’s ice-type skills, the agility attribute of the mutated elite soldier had been weakened by a large portion.

“Woof! Whoosh!”

Fang Heng charged forward again, and the two alchemy magic arrays beside him rotated one after another.

The two Lickers that were the first to resurrect dashed out from the magic array and attacked the mutated elite soldier from the front and back.

“Hu!”

The mutated elite soldier swung the heavy hammer again!

He had high resistance to all attributes, but his combat style was somewhat simple.

“BOOM!!”

The heavy hammer struck the ground once again, and the charging Licker was also interrupted for half a second.

Unfortunately for the mutated soldier, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei managed to dodge the attack easily.

Under Tang Mingyue’s continuous control of ice-type spells, the mutated soldier was unable to attack the agile Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei.

Even the Lickers were able to easily dodge the attacks.

Under Fang Heng, Mo Jiawei, and the two Lickers’ slow grinding, the infected mutated soldier finally collapsed.

Fang Heng frowned and realized that the underground palace exploration might not be as easy as he had imagined.

It took more than three minutes to deal with a normal mutated soldier. The difficulty of the subsequent missions would only be higher.

If the fusion Tyrant form was here, it should be able to handle the mutated soldier with ease.

Unfortunately, most of the zombie clones still needed some time before they could be successfully resurrected.

Wu Shijiang was watching nervously from the side.

Fortunately, Her Highness Mingyue and Lord Fang Heng weren’t normal people. The three of them easily dealt with an infected soldier.

However, if they went any deeper, they might encounter even more infected soldiers.

Wu Shijiang couldn’t help but look at Tang Mingyue. He asked, “Your Highness, are you all right?”

“It’s no big deal, I’m fine.”

Tang Mingyue sensed the state of her spiritual power and felt that she was still at her peak.

“Yes, let’s go!”

Fang Heng called out and continued to move forward with everyone.

Wu Shijiang was helpless when he saw that they were determined to explore the underground palace.

He was wondering if he should go offline to report the situation to the others. Before he went offline, he looked up and saw that Fang Heng and the others had already run forward. He didn’t dare to stay any longer and rushed forward quickly.

…

In the Imperial Palace, Ed was still in the game.

Previously, they had encountered the royal family’s pursuers while exploring the underground palace and had been surrounded like dumplings.

Just as he was preparing to fight to the death, he did not expect to trigger a special optional mission.

Surrender temporarily or fight to the death.

In order to protect the players, Ed chose to follow His Highness Tang Mo and temporarily surrender in exchange for the players to leave the royal family.

As a result, the player team was able to leave with the collected information while Tang Mo and a small number of high-level players were temporarily locked in the secret prison below the royal palace.

In conclusion, they had lost this battle, but they had not completely lost.

Especially after hearing that Lord Fang Heng was coming.

Lord Fang Heng had the ability to turn something rotten into something magical. He would definitely be able to lead them through the numerous dangers and kill a bloody path out!

Ed was extremely anxious and switched between going online and offline from time to time. He kept communicating with the team and paid attention to Lord Fang Heng’s actions.

Now, he had pinned all his hopes on Fang Heng.

They hoped that Fang Heng would be able to collect more evidence of Salvador’s crimes to pave the way for their next mission.

The players’ think tank integrated Fang Heng’s strength assessment and believed that Lord Fang Heng should be able to increase the completion rate of the evidence collection mission to 40-60%.

Ed felt that this group of think tanks did not understand Lord Fang Heng and underestimated him.

Lord Fang Heng had so many tricks up his sleeve and had set up such a deep scheme. Everything in the game was within his control! Ed would not be surprised even if he managed to raise his mission completion to 100%.

However, what made people nervous was that more than 10 minutes had passed since Fang Heng entered the underground palace, but the mission completion rate had not changed.

“There’s no hurry. He probably hasn’t arrived yet. There’s no hurry, no hurry…”

Ed muttered to himself. While comforting himself, he couldn’t help going offline every few minutes to get first-hand news about Fang Heng.

After he went online again, Ed heard footsteps from afar.

He looked out of the prison and saw Tang Mo being led by a group of guards back to the prison. He was locked up in the prison diagonally opposite him.

“Your Highness!”

Once the guard left, the imprisoned players looked at Tang Mo with questioning eyes.

After being detained, Salvador personally talked to Tang Mo. The conversation had lasted for more than two hours and had just ended.

Ed was eager to know what Salvador had said to Tang Mo.

Tang Mo looked at the crowd and nodded.

The conversation between him and Salvador was not pleasant.

“The royal guards encountered a lot of trouble when they attacked the Land of Plague. Lord Fang Heng’s attack on Lincoln City also gave the Empire a headache. Salvador felt threatened and hoped that I could help him deal with the Land of Plague.”
