Chapter 2426 Inspection
Found them!
There were three of them!
Just as Li Shaoqiang had said, in a certain grave, a trio was gathered in the central area of the tomb, dealing with the undead pouring in from various passageways.
Coincidentally, they were the last three needed to complete the current phase of the mission.
Eliminating them would finish the phase!
Fang Heng hid among the swarm of undead, observing the three from a distance.
Three necromancy scholars.
Among them, one was a mage and two were warrior types.
The mage was particularly powerful, surrounded by fiercely burning blue flames.
The overall strength of the team was considerable.
The necromancy mage was formidable, continuously casting bone spears around himself to repel the undead.
Any undead creature that came too close would be pierced by the bone spears. Weaker undead were immediately killed by the bone spears, while even stronger ones were heavily pushed back.
The two undead warriors swung their rune-enchanted long swords, guarding the necromancer mage and cutting down any undead that breached the bone spear defense.
The trio formed an impenetrable iron triangle.
Strange.
What was that mage doing?
The mage was positioned in the center of the grave, seemingly crouched next to a coffin and examining something.
At this moment, Fang Heng's perception was different from that of humans; everything appeared pixelated, and human faces were obscured. He could only see the flickering blue flames.
Never mind, the mission was critical.
First, eliminate the mage!
It might be a bit risky.
But there was no time to waste searching for other targets.
It was time to take a risk!
"Take them down. I'll go first and draw their attention. You two follow closely and look for opportunities."
"Got it!"
With the strategy quickly discussed, Fang Heng blended into the surrounding undead and swiftly approached the three necromancy scholars.
The three necromancy scholars were methodically clearing the undead pouring in from outside the grave and hadn't noticed the dangerous elements among them.
It was coming!
As Fang Heng closed the distance, his eyes narrowed. He pushed off the ground and suddenly lunged forward!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"
Several bone spears flew directly at him.
Fang Heng instantly tightened his grip on his blade and swung forward.
"Bang!!!"
Several bone spears exploded with a bang!
"Be careful! Something's off!"
The two undead warriors immediately detected the anomaly and drew their weapons to intercept Fang Heng.
Fang Heng's form surged forward, evading one of the undead warrior's attacks while swinging his blade to block another.
"Bang!!!"
Such a powerful strength attribute!
The undead warrior was taken aback!
He found that his rune-enchanted long sword was uncontrollably knocked aside by the impact!
The other warrior reacted swiftly. After the failed attack, he spun around and thrust his sword into the undead's shoulder.
"Chi!!"
What?!
The undead didn't lose its combat strength as he had expected.
This was troublesome!
The undead warrior watched in alarm as Fang Heng charged directly toward the mage companion!
The necromancy mage companion was fully focused, simultaneously casting continuous defensive skills like bone spear piercing while intently studying the inscriptions on the mausoleum's coffins. Completely absorbed in his task, he was entirely unaware of the impending threat.
"Feodor! Watch out!"
At the same time the words fell, Fang Heng swiftly thrust his slashing blade, piercing the mage's heart from behind!
The mage, who was concentrating on recording, had his pupils suddenly contract.
"Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!"
Dense bone spears materialized around Fang Heng, tightly binding him at the center.
"Chi chi chi..."
In the next moment, countless bone spears piercing Fang Heng's body emitted a dense, dry sound.
Fang Heng could see the countless bone spears penetrating his body, but he felt no pain at all. Instead, the scene before him gradually became blurred and dim.
As the world before him darkened, he noticed that the ice crystal in the sea of consciousness condensed slightly at that moment, releasing a faint power.
The cold power slowly spread through the sea of consciousness.
In the next moment, the view before him returned to a dull state.
"Bang!!!"
In a certain mausoleum, a stone chamber's wall-mounted coffin exploded with a bang!
The zombie possessing Fang Heng's will emerged from the shattered coffin.
Resurrected?
Fang Heng looked down at his hands.
Throughout the resurrection process, the game had not given any hints.
During the mission, could it really be that players can achieve infinite resurrections without any penalties?
What was the sensation of the ice crystal in the sea of consciousness condensing and spreading before the resurrection all about?
Fang Heng couldn't help but feel a bit doubtful.
[Hint: The player's team has repelled the invaders. 2 invaders remaining to complete the mission.]
Game hints began to appear on his retina.
It seemed that his previous strike had heavily injured the necromancy mage, and Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang had successfully finished off the rest.
Fang Heng didn't think too much about it and headed towards the location of the recent battle.
Soon, Fang Heng joined Li Shaoqiang, and they smoothly dealt with the remaining two mausoleum invaders.
[Hint: The player has completed the team mission-Death Knight's Assessment.]
[Hint: The player can now choose to leave the mission environment. As the current team leader, Fang Heng decides whether to exit the mission environment.]
"Phew... This group was really tough," Li Shaoqiang said, catching his breath and turning stiffly to look at Fang Heng. "Mr. Fang, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Fang Heng felt that his attributes were completely unaffected after the resurrection.
"Shall we leave?"
"No hurry, let's wait a bit."
This time, Fang Heng didn't rush to leave. Instead, he walked up to the center of the stone chamber.
In the center stood a stone coffin.
The coffin was embedded into the floor, seamlessly integrated with the entire mausoleum stone chamber.
Currently, the coffin was open, and it was empty inside.
After possessing the zombie, his vision had become extremely blurry, everything was covered with layers of mosaic. Even during the earlier battle, Fang Heng relied more on his personal perception.
Fang Heng was curious.
What had these three been doing in front of the coffin in the center of the mausoleum?
There was clearly nothing inside.
Fang Heng walked up to the coffin, crouched down, and began to feel around it.
Li Shaoqiang curiously followed and asked, "What's going on?"
"This mission gives me a strange feeling. I'm wondering if there might be something on this coffin."
Trouble!
The zombie's perception was heavily suppressed, and his body felt unusually numb. Even after being pierced by so many bone spikes, he didn't feel any pain, and he couldn't sense the texture of the surface with his fingers.
Even if there was something on it, he wouldn't be able to analyze it.
"You guys should try feeling it too."
Tan Shuo and the others thought it made sense and came forward to feel around the coffin as well.
"The zombie's perception is heavily suppressed. It seems like there is something on the coffin."
"We need to find a way to get whatever is recorded there out and see what it is..."
As they were discussing, a game hint appeared on their retina.
[Hint: The mission time has ended. The player will automatically return to the Death Knight space in 5 minutes.]
