Chapter 1089 - 1089 Climbing

1089 Climbing

“Where?”

“Up there! The exit is up there! Above the main hall!”

Looking up, everyone realized that the space above the hall was pitch black.

They couldn’t see the ceiling.

Wei Tao said in a low voice, “Let’s go and take a look!”

The two players who had learned flight-type skills immediately flew into the air.

Fang Heng and Mikhael looked at each other and nodded in unison.

“Go!”

The two once again attacked the headless Evil Bones from the left and right, trying to tie him down to buy time for the others.

“I found it! There’s a rope ladder!”

After floating up to a height of nearly eight meters, the scouting players found that there were ropes hanging down from the rock walls around them. They immediately showed joy and shouted down.

“Well done!”

They had finally found the exit!

Wei Tao felt that he had finally seen the light of hope for this stupid mission and quickly analyzed the current situation.

The sacrificial mission was already in a state of completion, and there were no subsequent mission prompts triggered…

Of course, he had to think of a way to escape first!

“Retreat!”

The team players were all elites. After hearing Wei Tao’s command to retreat, they immediately climbed up through the gaps in the brick wall.

Eh? Running away?

Fang Heng was stunned.

He still wanted to stay on a little more to see if he could kill the monster in front of him.

It was very difficult now, but soon, the second batch of zombie clones would be resurrected, and perhaps he could find the other party’s weakness.

“You guys go first. I’ll block him and catch up with you soon.”

Hearing this, Wei Tao thought Fang Heng wanted to break away from the team and was about to refuse him initially. Instead of letting Fang Heng stay, it was better to sacrifice two players and buy some time.

However, seeing Fang Heng’s insistence, he changed his words, “Alright!”

Fang Heng looked at Evil Bones, who was not far away from him. He had a very strange feeling. There might be some secret on Evil Bones. This secret was even related to Ouroboros.

After a while, seeing that most of the other team members had already climbed up the rock wall, Mikhael said to Fang Heng, “Let’s go too.”

“You go first, don’t worry about me. I want to try and see if I can deal with him.”

Fang Heng stared at Evil Bones, his eyes flashing with a strong desire to fight.

Mikhael was stunned.

Get rid of him?

Deal with this monster?

What the hell was he talking about?!

“You better go first.”

“Alright, be careful.”

Mikhael nodded at Fang Heng, pulled Argyll who was beside him, and levitated in mid-air.

“Wait, Argyll, stay.”

Ah? Stay?

Argyll’s face turned pale when he heard Fang Heng’s words.

He really wanted to stay and study the murals. The discovery of the cave-dwelling beast would definitely go down in history!

But … To study it under the eyes of this monster?

Argyll instinctively felt fear.

He felt that his life was more important.

“Yes, stay!” Fang Heng said.

Fang Heng could not let Argyll leave because he wanted him to stay on and look at the information on the mural.

It was also good that the others had left. Fang Heng didn’t want too many people to know about the secret of Ouroboros.

“Don’t worry, you will be safe.”

Argyll knew that Fang Heng was being serious, so he immediately shouted, “Don’t! Don’t!”

Of course, Mikhael would not listen to Argyll. He released his hand, and Argyll fell from a height of half a meter.

Argyll immediately hid behind a big rock on the edge of the wall after he landed.

Evil Bones’ first target seemed to have locked onto Tang Mingyue. Realizing that everyone was trying to escape, he also tried to climb up the rock wall.

Fang Heng pressed his hands on the ground.

“Bone wall!”

“Bang! Bang Bang!!”

Three bone barriers shot out from the wall, blocking Evil Bones’ path.

“BOOM!”

Evil Bones’ bone spear pierced forward, shattering the bone barrier!

The next moment, Fang Heng came up to him from below the wall and thrust the bone spear forward.

“Chi!!”

The bone spear pierced into the muscle beneath Evil Bones’ skin once more, deeply embedded within.

Hu!

Fang Heng pulled out the bone spear and took a few steps back.

The two of them fell from the rock wall at the same time.

Almost at the same time, the time for the second batch of zombie clones to resurrect had come.

Chi Chi Chi!

Dozens of magic arrays circled around Fang Heng. The Lickers opened their mouths wide, revealing their ferocious fangs, and scuttled out of the magic arrays one after another.

Evil Bones wanted to chase after Tang Mingyue, but he was not good at climbing. He was also constantly attacked by the Lickers.

Fang Heng squinted his eyes, feeling extremely strange in his heart.

He had thought that it would be an extremely troublesome battle, but it turned out to be quite easy.

The key was that Evil Bones’ hatred was targeted at Tang Mingyue.

But why?

Why was his hatred locked on Tang Mingyue?

Fang Heng frowned and thought about it. Then he lowered his head and looked at the task prompt.

No, he still didn’t find any related hints.

Argyll was hiding behind a rock, watching the battle in the distance, his heart palpitating in fear.

He saw Evil Bones trying to climb up the rock wall to chase after Tang Mingyue and the rest, but he was pulled down by the Lickers again and again.

“Don’t just stand there. Study the murals first.”

“Oh, Okay, okay…”

Argyll took a few deep breaths and remained calm.

He turned around and saw more than 20 zombies working together to clean up the debris on the edge of the wall.

Two new murals were revealed in front of him.

Eh? The two murals seemed to be…

…

At the top of the oval-shaped hall, Wei Tao and the others were climbing up the rope.

In the beginning, Wei Tao could still hear the sounds of battle and collisions from below, but later on, the sounds became softer and softer.

Most of the flying abilities that the players had could not be maintained for a long time, and they had to rest with the help of the ropes from time to time.

The passage above them seemed to be endless. They had been climbing for more than 30 minutes.

Finally, the area above them began to narrow.

Eh?

What was this?

Wei Tao, who was climbing at the front of the team, felt his heart jump.

He noticed that the walls around him had a layer of slender spikes protruding out.

A trap?

“Purple essence! It’s actually purple essence!”

A player who had learned how to analyze ores shouted out in surprise.

These protruding spikes were all made up of purple essence!

Wei Tao felt even more strange.

Purple essence?

Using the purple essence as a trap? Wasn’t this a little too extravagant?

Moreover, wasn’t the purple essence used to deal with the barbarian race? Why was it set up here? Wouldn’t it be better to replace it with metal spikes?

The players who climbed up the rope later also noticed the purple essence that pierced through the wall.

Mo Jiawei was puzzled and asked, “This purple essence doesn’t seem to grow normally. It seems to have been placed here on purpose. What was it used for? A trap?”

Everyone was suspicious and their first reaction was that this was a trap.

“Don’t care if it’s a trap, let’s keep them! Keep all of them!”

Tang Mingyue’s eyes brightened when she saw the purple essence. Even her tone became hurried.
