#2416 - Go and come back
Under the radiance of the sacred light, the aura of the undead seeping out of the hall was rapidly purified within a short period.
"Damn it! The Holy Court's people are chasing in!"
"Block them!"
"Quick, destroy the stone pillars! Releasing the Death Knight might be our only chance!"
The players were already in chaos. Seeing this, Fang Heng reached out and placed his hands on Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang's shoulders. "Ignore them, let's go back first! Let's go!"
Whoosh!
The magic array in Fang Heng's pupils rapidly rotated, and he took the two of them through the magic array and back into the Death Knight's space.
Two minutes later, Carolina, the Purifier Instructor, led a group of Holy Court Purifiers into the main hall.
Sacred light illuminated the basement hall.
In a short while, all the players in the hall had been completely cleared out by the Purifiers and Holy Court Knights.
Norbert immediately led two subordinates, two confidants, forward, knelt on one knee, and saluted: "Greetings, Lord Carolina."
"Rise and speak."
Carolina glanced around, her brow furrowing slightly, and asked, "Where is Fang Heng?"
"Fang Heng, he…"
Sweat dripped from Norbert's forehead, and a bitter expression appeared on his face. He turned his head to look at the damaged sealing stone pillar behind him, and said, "He just entered the Death Knight's space."
Carolina and the others turned their heads together to look at the central sealing stone pillar, and a strange look could not help but appear in their eyes.
Indeed.
Their plan was to temporarily lure Fang Heng here.
Using the undead aura energy leaking from the Death Knight's space as bait, they wanted Fang Heng to stay here and absorb the energy.
With his 'greedy' nature, he would definitely fall for it!
However, they did not expect that Fang Heng was even greedier than they had anticipated, feeling that absorbing energy from the outside was not enough, so he forcibly broke open the outer wall of the sealing stone pillar, and even wanted to enter the Death Knight's space to absorb the aura of death energy.
Carolina stared at the stone pillar for a moment, then shook her head.
"Never mind, Lord Arbiter will arrive soon. We will stay here and wait for the Arbiter's decision."
…
Death Knight's space.
Fang Heng returned with Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang.
"What do we do?"
Li Shaoqiang was a little flustered.
The retreat outside had been completely blocked, and there was no way to escape.
Could it be that they would have to sacrifice a life here?
That was still the ideal situation.
If they were not careful, their souls could be sealed by the Holy Court, and they would be in big trouble.
Fang Heng did not answer, but raised his head, looking towards the dark heights in the distance.
On the throne, the Death Knight reappeared, and a faint blue light flickered in his eyes again.
Li Shaoqiang nodded and said, "Yes, power. It would be great if you could give us power."
"Whoosh… Ka Ka Ka…"
Behind Fang Heng and the others, the phantom of a large gate slowly solidified.
"Your luck is not bad. I am currently short of manpower, so I am willing to give you a chance. Someone is disturbing the peace of Queen Persephone. I need you to drive them away. Complete this task, and you will get the power you desire."
"Remember, this is a test."
"Her Majesty the Queen never skimps on giving power to her servants, but you must first demonstrate matching abilities."
Everyone turned their heads to look at the gate.
Game prompts quickly appeared on the retina.
[Prompt: Player has triggered team mission - The Death Knight's Selection].
Mission Name: The Death Knight's Selection.
Mission Difficulty: SSS.
Mission Description: Please enter the channel teleportation gate and repel the invaders who have entered Queen Persephone's tomb.
Mission Requirements: Please repel at least 12 invaders of the tomb (team joint count) before all invaders enter the tomb.
Mission Reward: Initial recognition from the Death Knight.
[Warning: This mission contains extreme danger].
The Death Knight's gaze inadvertently fell on Fang Heng. "Remember what I said? Only eternal will is the only way to truly transcend reincarnation and achieve immortality. Now, it is time to test your will. I hope you can complete this test."
Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang looked at each other, feeling strange.
Special mission?
A special mission given by the Death Knight?
The two of them turned to look at Fang Heng again.
Fang Heng was also in a somewhat dazed state.
Queen Persephone's tomb?
Invaders?
Something felt strange.
The Death Knight was clearly a being with reason and able to communicate.
He could even give out missions.
With Instructor Guluo's ability, breaking the sacred sealing stone was not a problem at all.
What about the undead camp always protecting the Death Knight's space and not letting outsiders come into contact with it?
"Ka, Ka Ka Ka Ka…"
As the gate slowly opened, the pupils of the three of them suddenly shrank.
A large amount of pure undead aura energy leaked out from the gate!
"Go, don't waste time, now!"
The Death Knight slowly raised his right hand and suddenly clenched it into a fist.
"Hoo!!!"
Instantly, the three of them felt as if they had been hit hard in the back by something, and their bodies uncontrollably flew towards the gate, being sucked into the gate space.
"Interesting newcomers…"
The Death Knight muttered to himself, looking at the three of them still standing in place below.
At this time, the eyes of the three of them had become wooden, leaving only a physical shell.
…
The Dead World.
On a black wasteland, a towering black pyramid-shaped building stood on the earth.
At this time, almost all the high-level members of the undead camp were gathered here.
Including Guluo, several instructors who originally guarded the White Bone Tower were also among them.
Everyone looked into the distance at the large building that was sometimes hidden and sometimes visible under the sandstorm.
Queen Persephone's tomb.
According to legend, Queen Persephone, who once ruled the entire Dead World, was buried here.
The tomb is surrounded by the Dead World's sand and dust storms all year round.
Coincidentally, the situation of the storm weakening has frequently occurred in recent years.
The most recent time was two days ago.
The storm was greatly reduced.
