1839 A Suggestion

"Understood."

Everyone nodded and became more careful.

Fang Heng also withdrew his gaze from the ritual and followed everyone to the magic array that was spinning in front of him.

The magic arrays were connected to each other in the middle of the ritual.

It was a very good technique.

However, this magic array...

He had never seen anything like this before.

Feeling curious, Fang Heng lowered his hat and focused his eyes on the magic array.

"Whoosh!"

The magic array reflected in the pupil of his right eye spun rapidly!

[Hint: The player is attempting to appraise an unknown magic array...]

[Hint: Analyzing...]

[Hint: Through analysis, the player has obtained partial information about the magic array.]

[Magic array: Energy injection type (Unknown characteristic).]

Description: A special magic array specially made for a certain ritual. It can guide spiritual energy into the magic array to store and assist in activating the ritual (only for a certain ritual).

"A special magic array suitable for ritual energy..."

It was rarely seen in the past.

Fang Heng muttered to himself as he pondered.

As for the specific effects of the ritual, he had no idea.

He judged that it should be related to the overflowing black fog.

The players did not care about the structure of the magic array. They were divided into three groups under the arrangement of the Mundt Gang. They gathered in front of the magic circle and began to inject spiritual power into the magic array to activate it.

Fang Heng also joined the players and tried walking to the magic array.

He pressed his palm on the edge of the magic array.

"Tsk!"

As soon as he touched the magic array, a weak force connected to his body.

Fang Heng felt his mental power slowly being drawn out of his body through his palm and slowly flowing into the magic array.

It was fine at first, but as time passed, the attraction from the magic array became stronger and stronger.

It was like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing his spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy in his body was being drained at a rapid rate!

Two minutes passed. Seeing that the speed of his spiritual power was a little too fast, Fang Heng quickly retracted his hand and stopped injecting his spiritual power.

He raised his head and looked around. The other players also noticed the strange magic array.

After a few attempts, the players had gained experience. They would often stop after injecting their mental strength for half a minute and rest for a while before injecting their mental strength again. They were afraid that they would lose control and be sucked dry by the magic array.

Fang Heng could persist in transferring spiritual power for a longer period of time.

At least five minutes would not be a problem.

But there was no need for that.

He realized that using this method of extracting spiritual power would affect the origin of his sea of consciousness.

It wouldn't cause permanent damage, but compared to normal spiritual power consumption, this kind of extraction would make it difficult for spiritual power to recover in a short period.

Fang Heng was even more curious about the magic array.

He stood in front of the magic array and activated the omniscient eye in his right eye.

　

 　　

　 　　

 　 

　　

　

The lines of the magic array were quickly broken down and reconstructed in his pupils.

While Fang Heng was studying the magic array, the rest of the players had almost lost all of their mental strength to the magic array. They sat down and drank potions while resting, seizing the time to recover.

Most of the players in the City of Darkness were not strong.

It was not easy to gather so many players who knew occultism.

"Everyone, work harder! The magic array is our greatest trump card! We might even be able to completely drive the Federation out!"

Aktu urged, trying his best to boost the morale of the players.

It was a pity. The effect was limited.

Players generally had low mental power. In addition, the magic array had a special characteristic of absorbing mental strength. Even if they drank potions, their recovery ability would be very limited.

It would not be good if this continued...

Fang Heng observed for a moment. He walked to Aktu's side and whispered, "Aktu, most of the people here have very low levels of spiritual power. The efficiency of injecting spiritual power is very low. It's just a drop in the bucket for the entire magic array."

"I know, but..."

Aktu's expression turned awkward as he shook his head.

He had no choice. He couldn't say anything that would hurt morale.

Aktu sighed and said, "This is all we can do now."

Fang Heng observed the magic array and touched his chin. He pondered and said, "It's true that we can only do one step by relying on mental strength. But have you ever thought that maybe we can modify the magic array?"

Modify?

This was Aktu's first time hearing such a thing. He felt that it was rather novel. He could not help but look at Fang Heng and ask, "How do we modify it?"

"Mind power is also a type of origin power. Many powers can mimic the circulation of mind power. Of course, there are different methods of simulation, and the final results are different."

Fang Heng looked at the magic array in front of him that was operating. As he pondered, he said, "I'm thinking if we can carry out some simulations and simulate the energy into mental strength and inject it into the magic array. As long as we can find the corresponding method, there's a high chance that we can trigger the magic array to operate."

"Huh?"

Aktu was stunned when he heard this.

He could understand these words if they were taken apart, but when they were put together, they became something that he could not understand.

Aktu scratched his head and asked, "Fang Heng, do you know a lot about this?"

"A little. I've done some research on alchemy, but I'll need your cooperation to do this. Yes, I need the ritualists to collaborate with me for some tests."

Aktu hesitated for a moment.

"But Fang Heng, the Federation might raid at any time. We don't have much time left."

"I know." Fang Heng retracted his gaze from the arcane formation and said, "If I'm not wrong, the ritual before us is just one of the branch rituals. Right now, more than ten caves are holding rituals at the same time. Even without us, it won't affect much. If we're lucky enough to succeed..."

Fang Heng said seriously after a pause, "We might be able to turn the tide of the battle,"

Aktu's eyes lit up when he heard Fang Heng say that he could turn the tide of the battle.

"Brother Fang Heng, can we do this?"

"Yes, there's a need to give it a try."

"Alright, I'll go talk to Big Brother. Wait for me."

Aktu had been saved by Fang Heng once and trusted him very much. Hearing Fang Heng's words, he immediately rushed back to discuss with Meng Ruhui.

...

Coincidentally, when Aktu returned to the meeting hall, the leaders of the various gangs were discussing their next step.

When they heard Aktu suggest that they temporarily stop the transference of mental energy and conduct some random tests, he was immediately opposed by the players.

The leaders of the various gangs were not satisfied with Aktu's suggestion.

"Don't waste moment thinking about this. If you have time, why don't you focus on thinking about how to deal with the Federation? Don't mess things up."

"You're still researching? The Federation is blocking the entrance. Isn't it a little inappropriate?"
