1728 An Ambush



Arnold continued, "The Federation is already repairing the passage. If everything goes well, the construction will be completed by noon tomorrow. We'll continue to stay here tonight."

A professional research organization had done a survey. After entering the intermediate game, the average time the player spent offline was less than six hours a day.

In advanced games, the average time spent offline was less than three hours.

In order to deal with unexpected situations in the game, the players would complete their tasks in the game even if they were sleeping.

Sometimes, with the help of a potion, it was common for him to not go offline or sleep for several days in a row.

About a kilometer away from the bonfire, Fana's team of more than ten people quietly observed the situation in the camp through binoculars.

"There are still four hours until dawn."

Fana put down her binoculars and looked at the time.

"In ten minutes, we will launch an attack on the Federation team at the entrance of the mausoleum. At that time, we will try to open the passage to the mausoleum and seize the opportunity to enter the mausoleum to investigate."

Fang Heng nodded and shifted his gaze to the giant inverted pyramid in the distance.

It looked like a brick structure. The circular pillars were erected on the outer edges of the pyramid as the support of the building.

"The Federation has completely broken through the outer protective shield of the mausoleum in the past few days. We still haven't found a way to break through the entrance of the mausoleum."

"Other than us, there are eighteen other teams that will be participating in this operation. Among them are people from our Black Castle, as well as a few other teams that have accepted our request to cooperate with us."

"Based on our current information, the interior of the mausoleum is a large maze. The maze is filled with danger and the situation is very complicated. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to enter the mausoleum, please be on high alert. This is the mask of our Black Castle. Those who wear the same mask are our companions."

Fang Heng took the mask from Fana, weighed it in his hand, and put it on his face.

"World Lord Fang Heng, please extend your hand. I still need to leave a spirit imprint on you."

Fang Heng reached out his hand.

Fana gently tapped Fang Heng's outstretched wrist.

A faint green light appeared on Fang Heng's wrist where he was touched.

"I left a special soul imprint of the Black Castle on your wrist. The imprint can last for three days. If you successfully enter the mausoleum, you won't be able to determine the identity of the trapped party. As long as both parties approach each other with the imprint, the green light will reflect that it's one of your own."

"In addition, the imprint is also a kind of signal. Only us players of the Black Castle know how to activate the imprint. The various combinations of the imprint represent different meanings. You only need to remember the three simplest imprints. Red represents attack, blue represents retreat, and yellow represents waiting."

Fang Heng watched as the green light on his arm gradually dimmed. He nodded and said, "Yes, alright."

"There are still two minutes. Wait a little bit and we'll act soon."

In Fang Heng's opinion, there was no plan at all for this operation.

It was all impromptu.

Fang Heng could understand.

Time was too tight, and the enemies were all elite players in advanced games. Ordinary enemies would not fall for it.

Instead of spending time pondering over some nonsense, it was better just to be reckless!

"They're here."

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and looked to the right where Fana was looking.

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang!!!"

Heavy footsteps came from the forest on the right.

Under the night sky, a huge monster appeared from the dense forest on the right side and strode towards the camp!

A giant-sized mutated aquatic rhino!

Commander-level!

It wasn't that the Black Castle wasn't prepared, in order to increase the success rate of the operation, the Black Castle team used all their trump cards and forcefully influenced a mutated aquatic rhino leader to attack the Federation team.

As soon as the aquatic rhino leader left the forest, the player surrounding the campfire outside the tent instantly realized that danger was approaching.

The few people who were resting in the tent also walked out of the tent.

In just a short moment, all the high-tier elite players of the Federation had arrived.

Arnold quickly looked around before finally focusing on the commander-level aquatic rhino.

"Be careful, it's a commander-level mutated form. It won't appear out of thin air. There must be people from the Black Castle hiding in the dark."

One of the players in the party formed a curse in front of him, and his eyes were covered in a layer of dark light.

He quickly swept his gaze forward and said in a deep voice, "Indeed, they are here. There are many of them, at least 60 of them."

"So many?"

Arnold's heart skipped a beat, and he was secretly on guard.

In the past, the dozens of attacks they had received were all probing attacks. They had very few people, and they often retreated after one attack.

This time, it seemed like they had come out in full force?

Did something happen at the federal camp?

Or were they compelled to act like this?

"They don't come with good intentions. Let's get rid of the creature first."

"Understood."

Arnold and the rest of the team were players from the same advanced game world. They were mainly divided into two teams, and they understood each other very well in the game.

Everyone immediately split into three small teams and waited from three different angles.

Before the mutated aquatic rhino leader could get close, colorful elemental spells were thrown at it!

The control system's frost effect and lightning paralysis effect slowed down the aquatic rhino leader's charging speed.

The scouting player in the party said in a deep voice, "Be careful! They are here! On the left!"

On the left side of the area, a few huge rolling stones that were more than three meters tall rolled towards the team.

The players immediately threw out several elemental spells.

"Boom! Boom Boom!!!"

The rolling stones exploded after being bombarded by the mage!

A figure appeared under the exploding rock.

Mudstone giant!

Several mudstone giants broke out of the rolling stones!

At the same time, several players dashed out from the ground.

They did not have any intention of getting entangled with the Federation players. The player team directly rushed towards the entrance of the mausoleum in front of them!

"Stop them!"

Another small team of players quickly went forward to intercept!

On the right side of the battlefield, another team arrived under the cover of the night and dashed towards the center of the mausoleum. At some point in time, a small patch of white mist had appeared on the right side.

The frost fog condensed on the spot and did not dissipate for a long time. In the blink of an eye, both sides were enveloped in the frost fog and could not be seen clearly.

Fang Heng did not join the battle immediately. Instead, he hid behind the battlefield and secretly observed.

Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Fang Heng could not help but be secretly speechless.

Good heavens.

Was this a battle between players in an advanced game world?

The special effects were quite impressive.

Fang Heng was a little envious.

Even though he felt that the players in the advanced game world were all showy with their skills and they came with all kinds of fancy negative effects and environmental effects, however, the damage was a little insufficient. It was not as refreshing as using a few high-energy beam weapons.

The first few teams were there to attract the attention of the Federation and create chaos.
