Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2417  The Pursuit

The death knight remained silent in response to Fang Heng's questions.

Over the long ages, countless individuals had come before him, each driven by desire, each with their own demands.

But this one before him...

Was somewhat different.

As the death knight's memories gradually resurfaced, he was momentarily lost in deep reflection.

After a while, he spoke, "I once sought eternal life and strength, pursuing the path of death. Gradually, I realized that everything would eventually be scattered in the river of fate—memories, spirit, flesh, strength, even the soul."

"Everything that seems invincible will be washed clean in the river of time."

"Only willpower endures eternally. Only by adhering to will can everything be reborn. Since then, I have been searching for an indestructible will."

"Willpower..."

Fang Heng listened to the death knight's words, deep in thought.

The blue flames in the death knight's eyes flickered as he looked at Fang Heng again. "You cannot help me."

"Don't you want to leave this place?"

"Leave?" The death knight's expression remained indifferent. "Why should I leave?"

Fang Heng, observing the death knight, furrowed his brows.

Through their conversation, he was convinced that the death knight had independent thought and could communicate peacefully.

This was truly strange.

Why did the undead faction still maintain the Holy Court's seal, keeping the death knight sealed here?

What's even stranger was that Norbert had explicitly told him the death knight was bound and imprisoned.

It certainly didn't appear that way now.

Could Norbert's intelligence be flawed?

And if the holy seal outside was truly destroyed, would this special space really crack open?

Something seemed off.

"Go on, young one. You haven't figured it out yet."

The death knight had no further willingness to communicate and slowly closed his eyes once more.

Fang Heng observed the death knight, shrugging slightly.

This was puzzling!

The confusion in Fang Heng's mind grew.

Well, never mind!

He would clarify everything with Teacher Gu Luo later.

After all, his purpose for entering here wasn't to chat with the death knight.

Now was the perfect time!

To know that the spatial energy here was much denser than outside!

Thinking this, Fang Heng quickly condensed an imprint in front of him.

Whoosh!

As soon as the imprint was completed, the purified undead aura around him surged like it had found an outlet, rapidly flowing into his body!

[Hint: The player absorbs purified undead aura energy, gaining grandmaster-level necromancy experience points +1299.]

[Hint: The player absorbs purified undead aura energy, gaining Grandmaster-level necromancy experience points +4,210...]

Huh?!

Something was not right!

Fang Heng suddenly opened his eyes.

It was different from outside.

The undead aura absorbed outside also contained a cold essence, but it was nowhere near as intense as here!

In comparison, the aura inside this space contained an extreme chill.

Absorbing too much at once felt like his sea of consciousness was freezing.

It seemed he couldn't absorb the energy here as recklessly as outside.

Fang Heng temporarily stopped his absorption of the undead aura and glanced around.

Right.

That!

Whoosh!

Fang Heng focused his mind, and a white shrine materialized in front of him.

Shrine of Bones!

He once again condensed an imprint with his hands, channeling his mental strength into the Shrine of Bones.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!"

The Shrine of Bones emitted a dark aura.

In the next moment, the undead aura flooding in from all directions was completely absorbed by the Shrine of Bones.

Hiss! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The purified undead aura energy overflowed from beneath the shrine.

Fang Heng immediately condensed another imprint with his hands, trying to absorb the purified undead aura energy.

It worked!

After conversion, the undead aura still retained a slight chill.

However, this had minimal impact on the absorption process now.

Excellent! Continue absorbing!

Once he confirmed everything was fine, Fang Heng began to continuously channel his mental strength, accelerating the Shrine of Bones' absorption of the spatial undead aura.

In almost no time, a vortex appeared above the Shrine of Bones!

A massive amount of dense undead aura was drawn into the shrine through the vortex, purified, and then absorbed by Fang Heng.

Whoosh!

In the darkness, the death knight opened his eyes once more.

The Shrine of Bones!

Watching Fang Heng absorb the energy with his eyes closed, the death knight showed a hint of intrigue.

And that guy...

The speed at which he absorbed the undead aura was unprecedented—such a powerful undead talent!

"An interesting fellow..."

The death knight muttered to himself and closed his eyes again.

...

Outside, in the Great Hall where the sealing stone pillar was located, Norbert and the other players were still absorbing the continuous flow of energy from the pillar.

Suddenly, everyone's expressions changed.

A game prompt appeared on all their retinas.

[Hint: The current environment is affected by the holy seal. Players cannot use spatial abilities, or teleportation skills, or perform special actions such as going offline or remote communication.]

What's going on?

Everyone was startled, and they stopped absorbing the undead aura energy, quickly looking around.

This was bad!

Why was the spatial ability suddenly sealed?

A holy seal?

Could it be the Holy Court's doing?

The clues from the game prompt raised the players' alertness.

"This is bad, something must be wrong outside!"

"The Holy Court has arrived! We need to retreat quickly!"

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang exchanged worried glances, realizing the situation was critical.

"Don't panic, it might be a trap set by the Holy Court. Let's prepare the explosive devices and exit together!"

Norbert shouted to the confused group, quickly setting up timed explosives around the central seal stone, and then followed everyone towards the exit.

"Move out!!"

The players quickly retreated towards the passageway exit.

Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang exchanged glances.

"What about Fang Heng?"

"Don't worry, he has a way to get out," Tan Shuo replied after a moment of thought. "I'll wait at the entrance; you go with the others and see what's happening outside."

"Got it!"

The two immediately split up.

Li Shaoqiang swiftly joined the main group of players and made their way out, returning to the Tower of Bones.

Upon leaving the Tower of Bones, Li Shaoqiang was stunned by the scene outside.

This was bad!

Outside the Tower of Bones, more than a dozen Purifiers from the Holy Realm, dressed in divine robes, had taken control of the entire area. The Purifiers had teamed up to set up a massive holy light barrier around the periphery of the Tower of Bones.

The barrier nearly enveloped the entire domain of the Tower of Bones!

What's going on?

The undead faction players were bewildered.

While they had been focused on absorbing necromancy energy, the Purifiers from the Holy Realm had set up a defensive barrier around them!?

Was it really necessary?

One of the players gritted their teeth and immediately attempted to attack the barrier with a soul chain.

"Bang!"
