Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2460  Retreat

Additionally, this wave had also dropped a significant number of Tier 3 rainbow crystals.

He was getting close to leveling up.

Fang Heng raised a hand, and the numerous crystals on the ground flew into his palm.

"You two go back and find City Lord Hornlow to reactivate the shady line magic array. I'll check inside first."

Inside?

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo exchanged glances, their eyes showing a hint of suspicion.

Was he referring to the central part of the shady line rift?

Tan Shuo thought Fang Heng might have another mission that was not suitable for public knowledge. He gave Li Shaoqiang a signal to avoid pressing further and nodded, saying, "Alright, Mr. Fang. Be careful. We'll head to Frost Fortress and wait for you."

"Mm."

Fang Heng nodded, and he and Tan Shuo parted ways. He quickly made his way towards the depths of the shady line rift.

Previously, he had observed the shady line rift up close, but that was when the rift had been mostly sealed.

Since obtaining the great holy sword, a terrifying shady line aura had leaked from the rift, preventing him from approaching the depths for a close inspection.

This time was different.

With the Death God form, his resistance to the shady line had greatly increased.

At least now, he was completely unaffected by the negative effects of the shady line within its range.

Perhaps this time, he could observe up close.

Fang Heng slowed his pace.

In his Death God form, he floated almost as if levitating in mid-air, slowly drifting towards the shady line cavern.

He had arrived!

Upon entering the shady line cavern, Fang Heng frowned slightly.

He still couldn't sense any impact from the shady line aura.

It seemed he was completely immune.

Fang Heng pondered this and slowly lifted his gaze.

At that moment, a large amount of white fog was continuously pouring out from the shady line rift in the center of the cavern.

Fang Heng continued to approach, lowering his head to observe the cracks left on the ground.

A fine, tiny rift.

The area around the rift was completely sealed in ice.

An aura of extreme cold from the death realm emanated from the rift.

Fang Heng floated closer for a detailed observation.

The game hint suddenly appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has discovered a death realm crevice passage.]

[Hint: Status check successful. Under the current conditions, the player can use this passage to enter an unknown death realm domain.]

"Death realm... teleportation passage..."

Fang Heng murmured softly to himself.

From what he understood, the game world was divided into high-tier, mid-tier, and elementary levels.

But the death realm, similar to the Holy Realm, was clearly a world stronger than 'high-tier.'

Its status was transcendent.

Should he enter the death realm now and take a look?

In fact, he already had coordinates to the death realm.

When he completed a mission, he received rewards in the form of world coordinates.

These were for the death realm, the Land of Eternal Sleep, and the Alternate Dimension Hell.

Victor had also tested the three coordinates. Currently, entering the death realm and the Alternate Dimension Hell would consume a large amount of resources, requiring not only King of Gods' points but also additional materials.

For example, entering the death realm required void gemstones.

Additionally, each entry into the death realm was time-limited.

It seemed that using the rift before him to enter the death realm required no resources at all.

There was no need to rush.

As for the Land of Eternal Sleep, it was an undead world where Ji Xiaobo had once stayed. Fang Heng had obtained this world unexpectedly. According to Ji Xiaobo, the Land of Eternal Sleep had completely decayed and had no value for exploration.

Unless he wanted to develop connections with the higher-ups of the undead central council.

After some thought, Fang Heng decided against entering the death realm immediately.

He wasn't yet familiar with the death realm, the Death God form, or even the so-called Empress Persephone.

Once this matter was concluded, he would consult his mentor for more details and then explore the death realm later.

Time to go!

He would focus on grinding monsters!

He would head back to continue clearing out the remaining Holy Court soft targets in Punoze!

...

In the Holy Realm.

The news of Orkney's severe injuries and return from his pursuit of Fang Heng quickly spread throughout the Holy Realm.

The Great Sage, Aladdin, came to check on Orkney's condition and learned the general details of the situation from the Purifiers who had escorted him back.

"Fang Heng..."

Aladdin murmured.

The Holy Realm had invested a considerable amount of time in preparations for this operation, even risking a complete rupture with the undead to take action. Yet, in the end, their efforts failed, and they hadn't managed to capture Fang Heng.

Fang Heng's rate of growth was alarmingly rapid.

Aladdin's eyes were filled with apprehension.

In recent years, the power of the demonic seed had been expanding, showing signs of becoming uncontrollable.

"I'm sorry, Great Sage. I..."

"Orkney, this is not your fault." Aladdin shook his head, stopping Orkney from continuing, "Rest well. The appearance of the Frostbone Dragon was not something we had anticipated. As for Fang Heng, we can address him later. Focus on your recovery first."

"Great Sage."

"Yes?"

"I deeply feel that my strength is insufficient to complete the mission you assigned..."

While unconscious from his injuries, Orkney had thought about many things.

Initially, when he first encountered Fang Heng, crushing him had seemed as simple as squashing an ant.

Then came a series of cat-and-mouse games...

Until this time.

Orkney had never expected to return severely injured.

Though Fang Heng had not inflicted these wounds directly, his rapid growth was enough to instill fear.

Orkney had a chilling premonition.

He feared that the next time he encountered Fang Heng, even in a direct confrontation, he might not be able to defeat him.

Orkney slowly lifted his head, a determined glint in his eyes, "Great Sage, I request to undergo the Holy Light Trial."

...

In Punoze.

With Karolina leading the main force of the Holy Realm to be cleaned up, the remaining knights in the Tower of Bones domain were also swiftly defeated by the Lickers.

[Hint: The player has completed the mission-Expulsion.]

[Hint: The player gains 2 million undead faction reputation points and partial favorability rating from necromancy NPCs.]

[Hint: The blockade on Punoze has been lifted.]

City Lord Hornlow of Frost Fortress began issuing new missions to start cleaning up the heavily damaged main city of Catantul.

Next, they would simply need to wait for the tower lords to return from their exploration mission in the Mausoleum of Empress Persephone in the death realm, to begin the reconstruction of the Tower of Bones domain.

Players were naturally elated to learn that the Holy Realm forces had been repelled.

As for who had defeated the Holy Realm pursuit forces, most were left puzzled.

Many assumed that Hornlow of Frost Fortress had used some hidden trump card.

At this time, Fang Heng had already packed up and returned to the Zombie Apocalypse.

City Lord Hornlow knew little about the death realm.

Therefore, specific information would have to wait until the necromancy instructors returned for inquiries.

According to past practices, the necromancy instructors would need at least a week to investigate ancient tombs.

Fang Heng calculated the situation.

After this incident, he had advanced his necromancy to the Death God bloodline, acquired a Frostbone Dragon with unknown uses, leveled up to 49, and gained a free passage to an unknown world.

Most importantly, he had temporarily hindered the Holy Realm's pursuit forces, gaining a valuable window of time.
