1441 Shady Lines

The effect of the brand was not permanent.

As time passed, the brand on the Bones would slowly disappear.

The duration was about a year.

Once the brand disappeared, his control over the Bones would also disappear completely.

Therefore, he had to brand them every year.

Fang Heng didn’t think this would affect him much.

It was fine if he threw away a slightly low-level skeletal creature. If he encountered a high-level one, it was not a big deal to brand it every year.

After all, the zombie clones could do it for him.

It was not difficult at all!

Apart from that, there were more than 200,000 soul ice crystals in his backpack. The remaining materials, such as the cold marrow, accumulated resentment, and bones of hatred, which were dropped by the undead creatures after they died, could no longer be stored in his backpack. After zombie clones packed them up, they temporarily piled them up in the mountain stream.

At that time, it would take a lot of effort to move all of them out.

Taking advantage of his free time, Fang Heng asked Zheng Yuping, who was beside him. He wanted to know what it meant to get 200 thousand soul ice crystals, and what level of brilliant crystal he could exchange for in the end.

“If you have more than 200 thousand soul ice crystals, according to its different levels, you could probably get about 12 orange brilliant crystals.”

Zheng Yuping lowered his head and estimated. With excitement, he said, “This is an estimate. I can’t guarantee that you can get exactly 12 orange brilliant crystals. It’s best if you can get two million. That way, you’ll be able to exchange for a red crystal.”

Hearing this, Fang Heng was stunned.

It actually took 2 million soul ice crystals to exchange for a red crystal?

“Then why are you so excited?” he thought.

Fang Heng calmed himself down and continued to ask, “How many points do we need to exchange for a purple brilliant crystal?”

“50 million.”

“What? 50 million?”

Fang Heng was shocked.

In the beginning, he had come to the Frost Hell to fight for the highest-tier purple crystals.

Wasn’t it too far away from the target of 50 million?

“Yes, we’ve calculated that it’s almost impossible to obtain the purple crystals just by getting crystals, unless we can complete some high-difficulty missions and slay monsters.”

Fang Heng was even more disappointed.

This was too difficult.

The Hunting Day of Frost Hell would only last for a day. After more than seven hours, he had only obtained 200 thousand crystals.

Fang Heng felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement to reach the fastest monster slaying efficiency.

However, how should he increase the efficiency by 200 times?

This gap was not something that could be achieved with hard work.

It was related to many aspects.

Fang Heng doubted if he could find so many undead creatures in the entire frost domain to obtain soul ice crystals.

It seemed that just slaying monsters was not enough.

He had to combine the two methods.

Fang Heng looked at Zheng Yuping and said seriously, “So, you guys have done some digging in advance on the high-level missions that the City Lord has issued, right? What is the highest-level mission?”

“Sigh, we’ve already done this countless times.

Zheng Yuping took advantage of his free time to explain to Fang Heng.

“Speaking of which, this matter is related to the undead storm in Punoze.”

“It’s said that a long time ago, the world of Punoze had yet to be occupied by Necromancers. At that time, it was still a world that was being fought over. The Holy Court discovered a few huge shady lines in the depths of the Frost Hell and believed that the source of the undead storm in Punoze was these shady lines.”

“After that, we Necromancers also noticed this world and had some friction with the Holy Court. After that, the Holy Court withdrew, and the Necromancers obtained the final ownership of this world.”

“Later, there were rumors that the Frost Fortress was built to protect these shady lines.”

Fang Heng frowned.

Why was it related to the Holy Court?

Fang Heng asked, “So the current mission is also related to the shady line? Does the City Lord want to completely solve the problem of the shady line?”

“Not exactly. The existence of the shady line is beneficial to us Necromancers. Moreover, it’s not our turn to completely solve such a difficult problem.”

Zheng Yuping shrugged and laughed at himself. Then, he continued, “The specific mission is that the City Lord’s ancestor once entered the depths of the shady line alone. Unfortunately, an accident happened, and he died under the shady line. If anyone can find the City Lord’s ancestor’s corpse and bring it back to the City Lord, the City Lord is willing to provide 30 million points as a reward.”

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

That was more like it.

30 million points was equivalent to three-fifths of the points he needed.

It seemed that he had to start from the mission to get Tier 7 brilliant crystals.

“Do you know the entrance to the shady line?”

“Yes, I know two. Those two entrances are currently occupied by a few teams. If we want to go, I’m sure they will show the Federation some respect, but…”

Zheng Yuping looked at the large group of zombies not far away, his face darkening.

How were they supposed to bring so many zombies over?

He felt that it was better to be more discreet. The highest-tier City Lord mission had existed ever since the existence of Punoze.

No one had been able to complete it for many years.

Even if Fang Heng was very powerful, it would still take some time to investigate and prepare. It was impossible for him to complete it in just a day.

It was better to think of a way to obtain a few more orange brilliant crystals.

“In fact, there are many entrances to shady lines hidden in the Frost Hell in the North District. As players have explored the Frost Hell over the years, more and more entrances to shady lines have been discovered. However, none of them have been revealed. We haven’t explored this area too much either.”

Zheng Yuping reminded him, “Many people have explored the shady line before. The number and strength of the undead creatures wandering inside are higher than those in the outside world. It’s very difficult to deal with them. Moreover, in the shady line, you will be affected by the negative effects of the higher-level shady line aura.”

“The difficulty of the mission is too high. Many teams are interested in purple brilliant crystals, so we decided to give up the mission temporarily after some research. Don’t forget that there are still some people who are prepared to deal with us in the Winter Hell.”

Fang Heng stroked his chin and pondered for a moment.

Just by listening to Zheng Yuping’s words, he could tell that the difficulty of the mission was extremely high.

Fang Heng thought that he could go to the shady line first to take a look at the situation.

As for zombie clones and the Ice Bones, it was difficult for them to move. They could temporarily stay in the mountain stream and spread out to slay monsters in the surrounding area.

Thinking of this, Fang Heng raised his head again.

It was strange. It had been a while, but why hadn’t the rest of the monsters been cleared?

Looking into the mountain stream carefully, Fang Heng saw that a large area behind the entire mountain stream passage had been completely cleared, but there were still frozen vengeful spirits and skeletal creatures emerging from a certain passage in the distance.

Fang Heng was curious and could not help but stand up, searching in the direction where the frozen vengeful spirits and Ice Bones had emerged.

Not far away, there was a hole in a stone wall.

From time to time, there would be several Ice Bones coming out of the hole.
