Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2605  Mutation

The Dragon Grave Mountain vein was something that their clan had formed through the combined efforts of several generations, along with various coincidences and the right timing and location.

The entire death realm had nothing like it!

Of course, there were no construction blueprints.

Kotal directly replied without needing a translation: "Fang Heng, you're not from our death realm, so you may not understand."

"Originally, the Dragon Grave Mountain vein was just a gathering point for the death realm's aura. By chance, a space passage shattered, and during a storm in their time-space journey, hundreds of time-space dragons with spatial abilities were severely injured. A large portion of them couldn't survive in the death realm's environment and died in the mountains."

"After their deaths, and after millions of years of influence, they gradually transformed into Bone Dragons."

"Our ancestors were the first to discover this place and successfully tamed the Bone Dragons, making a name for themselves in the death realm and completely taking control of the Dragon Grave Mountain vein."

"After a long period of time, our ancestors realized that the time required to condense a Bone Dragon was too long, and it also needed the bones of ancient dragons as a prerequisite. Moreover, the occurrence of rare spatial fluctuations and passages was extremely uncommon. The chance of Bone Dragons appearing in such circumstances was even rarer. As a result, for a long period, no new Bone Dragons appeared, and our clan quickly began to weaken."

Kotal shook his head, sighed, and continued, "In order to ensure a continuous supply of newly formed Bone Dragons, our ancestors found a way to open passages to other worlds, attempting to find Bone Dragons from those worlds."

"After another long period of exploration, my ancestors gradually figured out the paths to other worlds, and they began to travel to these worlds, searching for the Dragon Clan's tombs, infiltrating them, and obtaining the bones of the Dragon Clan, which were then brought back and piled in the mountains where the aura of the death realm gathered."

"That's also when we learned the languages of the outside world. We needed to interact with external realms, so our clan began to learn your human languages."

"Over time, after millions of years, a massive accumulation of ancient Dragon Bones formed the Dragon Grave Mountain vein. As more and more Bone Dragons were revived by the death realm's aura and their will awakened, our domain began to draw the attention of many powerful forces from the death realm."

"Thus, our ancestors established a set of rules, including allowing outsiders to enter the Dragon Grave Mountain vein to recruit Bone Dragons."

"The various empires of the Dark Clan, recognizing our care for the Dragon Grave Mountain, allowed us to continue residing there for various reasons and to maintain the care of the Dragon Grave Mountain."

Fang Heng, after hearing Kotal's entire story, was also somewhat surprised.

Who would have thought that the Dragon Grave Mountain vein had been gradually formed over the years by the accumulation of ancient Dragon Bones?

It seemed that obtaining a Dragon Grave Mountain vein was nearly impossible.

Well, he'd just have to figure something out later.

"Since it's not ideal, I'll settle for something else. I'll gather more points and buy other buildings to at least replenish the death aura of the small death realm."

With that thought, Fang Heng quickly purchased a high-tier Nether Crystal Core and over a dozen high-tier undead building blueprints, draining all his contribution points in the process.

[Hint: The player has obtained item: Nether Crystal Core (high-tier)*1.]

Item: Nether Crystal Core (high-tier).

Type: Consumable.

Description: This item contains a special energy. Absorbing this energy will rapidly heal injuries (limited to necromancy state, soul body state, and other special states), restore damaged willpower, and temporarily increase the willpower upper limit.

Additional description: The first absorption of this item will permanently enhance soul willpower and willpower attributes.

Current remaining energy: 100%.

Truly a good item!

Fang Heng glanced over the item description, then placed the Nether Crystal Core into his backpack. He quickly checked the game hints as well.

After spending more than five hours, his Bone Dragon army from Dragon Grave Mountain had accumulated a significant portion of the force.

He could consider summoning them directly to accelerate his contribution points collection in the death realm.

After all, nothing was pressing to do right now.

The more he farmed, the better.

But just mindlessly grinding wasn't ideal.

Maybe it would be better to talk to the Commander and ask for some related missions.

With that in mind, Fang Heng raised his head and said, "Let's go. Take me to see the Commander. I'd like to discuss something."

"Alright, follow me."

Kotal nodded and immediately led Fang Heng toward the central area of the camp.

...

Fang Heng followed Kotal through the camp, but before they could reach the central area, a disturbance caught his attention.

A large number of Dark Clan members were being urgently summoned and quickly formed into small combat teams. Their faces were grim, and they rapidly left the camp, heading deeper into the swamp.

"Huh?"

What was going on at the front lines?

Fang Heng felt a sense of confusion stir within him.

Looking up, he saw Commander Tigranth, standing near the central area, his expression dark as he discussed something with several Dark Clan members.

What was happening?

Kotal also seemed to sense something was amiss. He quickly stopped a passing Dark Clan member and exchanged a few words with him. Afterward, his face grew more serious.

Fang Heng asked, "What's going on?"

Kotal raised his head and glanced back at Fang Heng, his voice low. "We just received urgent news. About three kilometers away, Disaster has appeared again."

Kotal then added, "The form of the Disaster creatures has changed. Apparently, their strength has been greatly enhanced. The front line forces are struggling and are already in retreat. They're predicted to fall back here within the hour."

Fang Heng's mind raced.

The Disaster's form had changed?

Their strength had increased?

This was new information. Fang Heng felt his curiosity deepen.

He could understand the increase in strength, but to the point that even the Bone Dragon could not withstand it?

No matter how you looked at it, the Bone Dragons had already reached the threshold of demigod-level creatures!

It couldn't be, right?

Had the strength of the Disaster creatures increased so drastically all of a sudden?

"Well, the specifics aren't clear, but from what we heard, the situation is really bad. Commander Tigranth has already given the order to retreat," Kotal explained.

Just then, Tigranth, along with a group of people, left the central camp and walked toward them. Upon seeing Fang Heng and Kotal, he came over and stopped in front of them. He spoke a long sentence, then turned to Kotal, signaling for him to translate.

"Fang Heng," Kotal began, translating the message. "The Commander says our team encountered mutated Disaster creatures at the front line. Their strength is overwhelming. The Bone Dragon team you provided is covering our retreat. We have not received any reports of Bone Dragons falling, and we will do everything we can to ensure their safety."

Kotal paused before continuing, "Our team will temporarily retreat to the outskirts of the swamp area and rely on the power of the Dark Clan's ghost towers to resist the Disaster creatures. We will need to discuss how to counterattack them, and we will need your assistance when the time comes."
