Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2412  A Trap

"Whoosh!!"

The undead aura energy in the entire hall surged rapidly toward Fang Heng!

Due to the speed, a black vortex formed above Fang Heng's head in just a moment!

The other players in the Great Hall, who were also trying to absorb the undead aura energy, sensed the strange fluctuations and opened their eyes, gazing in amazement at the black vortex before them.

What the hell!

Who was so powerful?!

He could absorb all the aura in the Great Hall at once?

Upon closer inspection, they noticed the player cloaked in black robes, along with Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo standing behind him. The crowd frowned and fell silent.

That person could consume so much undead aura energy at once which meant that his strength was undoubtedly formidable!

And Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang...

Weren't they from the Federation?

Let's not provoke them.

After weighing the pros and cons, the players felt that it was best not to stir up trouble. They decided to remain quiet and focus on absorbing the remaining scraps of undead aura, seizing the opportunity to gain some benefits for themselves.

Meanwhile, Norbert, while distractedly absorbing the undead aura, noticed that Fang Heng had also begun to absorb the necromancy energy, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He was absorbing it so quickly?

But soon, this moment of surprise gradually transformed into a cold smile of triumph.

Good, good, good. Absorb away!

Just consider it your last supper!

Norbert chuckled coldly to himself, reaching out his hand to secretly crush the first fragment he had hidden.

...

Meanwhile, far beyond the underground palace, several Purifiers from the Holy Realm attacking the main city of Catantul noticed a faint glow emanating from the necklaces around their necks.

They exchanged glances.

"It's a message from Norbert."

"It seems Fang Heng has entered the underground palace area. We must report the situation to Lord Adjudicator and prepare to take action."

"Yes!"

In the Holy Realm, upon learning of Fang Heng's situation, the adjudicator Orkney and his group opened their eyes, a sharp glint appearing within.

"Fang Heng has entered the fray. Prepare yourselves; we may descend into Punoze at any moment."

"Yes!"

...

In the Great Hall of the underground palace, Norbert remained cautiously focused on observing Fang Heng.

Fang Heng!

He probably could never have imagined that the Holy Court was exerting such great effort to attack Punoze, with the true goal being to capture him.

To have the Holy Court treat him with such care and caution was remarkable for a mere player!

Norbert felt a mix of admiration and wariness towards Fang Heng.

In fact, Norbert had long since aligned himself with the Holy Court, becoming a pawn in their scheme within the undead faction.

In order to deal with Fang Heng, the Holy Court didn't hesitate to expose him as well.

As the crowd in the Great Hall absorbed the dissipating undead aura energy, the clay jars used for temporary storage began to explode one after another. The visible gray undead aura quickly burst forth and was swiftly divided and absorbed by Fang Heng and his companions.

Five minutes later, the group opened their eyes again.

Many players cast glances toward Fang Heng.

Good heavens, did he absorb it all in less than three minutes?

Of all the undead aura energy in the Great Hall, over ninety-nine percent had been consumed by this mysterious individual!

If it were them, absorbing such a vast amount of aura alone would have taken at least ten days or even half a month.

[Hint: The player's grandmaster-level necromancy skill has reached Level 6.]

Fang Heng glanced at the game notification, smacked his lips, and thought to himself that it wasn't bad. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He leveled up by one, enough to compensate for nearly half a month of hard work!

However...

Fang Heng used his mental strength to probe the sea of consciousness again.

At first, he hadn't felt anything unusual while absorbing the undead aura, but after absorbing so much, he gradually sensed that the undead aura in this place was somewhat different.

There was a trace of cold power within the aura.

After absorbing the energy, it hadn't affected his body, and the game indeed confirmed that his necromancy experience points were increasing.

Upon closer examination, he hadn't detected any anomalies.

It seemed he was overthinking.

Punoze's world was closely tied to the shady line, and for some reason, the undead aura here carried a trace of frost attributes. This wasn't a significant issue.

Fang Heng lifted his gaze and looked around again.

He had noticed some issues with the sealing stone pillar in the Great Hall, but he hadn't considered it as a trap from the Holy Court. He only felt that the trip hadn't been in vain.

"Norbert, what's next?"

At this point, the undead aura energy in the hall had been completely absorbed. The magic arrays were still functioning, and a faint aura continued to emanate from the sealing stone pillar.

Norbert swallowed nervously.

The plan had encountered a slight hiccup.

Originally, they intended to lure Fang Heng here, expecting him to absorb the energy, which would make him lower his guard and weaken the outer protective magic arrays. However, he hadn't anticipated that Fang Heng would act so quickly!

In just three minutes, he had absorbed all the outer energy!

Norbert had a growing sense of unease.

The mission might not be as straightforward as planned.

"Norbert? What's wrong? Why aren't you speaking? Did you find something off?"

"No, nothing. It's fine."

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Norbert gathered his composure and approached the central sealing stone pillar, examining its condition.

It was merely a minor timing issue.

No big deal.

The Holy Court's traps had a high fault tolerance.

Norbert steadied his mind and continued to observe the large magic array beneath the central sealing stone pillar. He said, "The undead instructors have set up magic arrays for the outer seal. Next, we need to gradually erase this magic array."

"We must be cautious. As the outer sealing energy weakens, the inner holy seal's power will gradually begin to unseal. Especially in the middle stages, there is a risk of an explosive backlash at certain tiers, so we must be extremely careful."

The group gathered closer, urging to get moving quickly.

"Alright, time is of the essence. We don't know how long the undead faction outside can hold on, so let's start quickly."

"Let's go!"

Everyone joined forces, carefully channeling their mental strength into the magic array, taking care to disrupt the operation of the external magic array.

Fang Heng looked up at the magic array inscribed on the ceiling.

This was taking way too long...

Was this cautious approach essential?

Fang Heng didn't doubt Norbert, he just instinctively felt that Norbert didn't have a deep understanding of the magic array.

It seemed he simply didn't know enough.

In Fang Heng's view, the magic arrays set up by the undead instructors around the sealing stone pillar primarily served to protect and monitor.

If any issues arose with the core rhombus stone pillar, the undead instructors would be able to perceive it immediately and provide external protective measures for a limited time.
