Chapter 1243 - 1243 Binding

1243 Binding

No matter what Fang Heng’s ultimate goal was, Wu Shijiang was extremely important. If Wu Shijiang wasn’t present, the game’s default mission wouldn’t have any player participating, and the mission completion rate wouldn’t increase.

After thinking through this, Li Xue immediately said, “Wu Shijiang, go online first. Tell Lord Fang Heng not to force himself. If you encounter any problems, contact us. We will provide you with protection offline.”

“Understood!”

Wu Shijiang replied. With the help of the others, he quickly closed the game cabin and prepared to return to the game.

“There’s more! The difficulty of the follow-up mission will only be higher. If you can’t do it, think of a way to persuade Lord Fang Heng to return and collect the evidence. Don’t fight to the death.”

“Alright!”

After closing the game cabin, Wu Shijiang went online again.

Li Xue looked up at the big screen.

In just a short while, the completion of the underground palace mission had been raised to 57.3%.

Soon, it would reach the minimum limit of 60% to trigger the next mission.

Li Xue was still extremely worried.

What would be the next stage of the mission?

Could Lord Fang Heng and Her Highness Mingyue really complete it?

…..

[Hint: You have killed an infected elite mutated soldier of the Empire. Your mission exploration rate has increased by 1.2%. Your trial score has increased slightly.]

[Hint: Current mission exploration: 133.8%.]

Another infected mutated soldier fell down heavily in front of Fang Heng.

Fang Heng pulled back his long sword and subconsciously wanted to pursue his next target. However, he found that there were no more enemies in the passage.

Did it end?

“It’s all done.”

Mo Jiawei went back and forth with the monsters for five rounds before he nodded and said, “The infected soldiers at the end of the passage have all been lured over by me. As for the deeper parts, it’s too dark, so I didn’t dare to go further in.”

“Yes.”

Fang Heng lowered his head and took a look at the task.

The current exploration rate had exceeded 100%, and the next phase of the mission had not been triggered.

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Mo Jiawei led the way and continued to lead the group to the end of the passage.

Soon, everyone arrived at the black open area at the end that Mo Jiawei had mentioned.

Standing at the entrance of the passage, everyone stopped in unison.

Wu Shijiang nervously looked into the depths of the pitch-black space. He couldn’t see anything, but there was a very uncomfortable feeling in his heart as if some kind of threat was lurking in the darkness.

“Chi!”

Wu Shijiang took out a torch from his backpack and lit it.

The darkness around them swallowed up most of the flames.

A faint light provided illumination.

Warren frowned and said in a deep voice, “Fang Heng, I can feel it. The demonic seed is not far from us. Besides that, I can also feel the spiritual power fluctuation of the enlightenment stone.”

“Yes.”

Fang Heng nodded.

He could feel it too. The spiritual power fluctuation of the enlightenment stone was extremely obvious.

Fang Heng raised his hand, and the Book of Creation, which was emitting a dark golden light, appeared in his palm.

“Brilliance.”

Whoosh, whoosh whoosh!

The three light orbs were floating at a low altitude, dispersing the darkness and slowly spreading out to illuminate the surroundings.

The effects of the spell were much better than a torch.

Everyone was able to see the surroundings of the open area clearly.

It was a shocking sight. Different from the outside world, the surrounding walls and ground were full of potholes.

It looked like this area had been built before, but had been destroyed after the construction was completed.

The entire underground palace’s walls and floor were made of a special stone, and its hardness was dozens of times higher than ordinary stones. When the infected mutated soldier smashed it with a hammer earlier, there were only a few cracks.

To be able to destroy the passage to this extent…

What could it be?

“Let’s go in and take a look. Be careful and follow me.”

“Yes.”

Everyone was on high alert and looked around vigilantly. They slowly followed behind Fang Heng and groped their way closer.

The further they went, the more spacious it became. The light could provide a sense of security.

Fang Heng walked at the front of the team, following the guidance of the enlightenment stone’s spiritual power fluctuation.

All of a sudden, Fang Heng felt an extremely strong sense of danger.

Almost at the same time, a huge shadow suddenly emerged from the darkness and attacked his right side!

“Be careful!”

“Swish!!”

Fang Heng didn’t have time to turn his head. He saw a dark brown object coming at him from the corner of his eye. He raised the bloodthirst thorn long sword and stabbed it fiercely.

“BOOM!”

A strange sound of metal clashing rang out!

Fang Heng felt as if he had hit a piece of metal. Then, a huge force hit him and he was forced to take two steps back before he could stand firm.

Looking back, the object that had launched the attack had completely disappeared.

Sandy broke out in a cold sweat from the sudden attack and exclaimed, “What was that thing just now?”

Everyone quickly gathered together and carefully watched their surroundings.

Fang Heng took a look at the game log.

[Hint: You have attacked an unknown life form. The attack was blocked by the unknown life form. The damage is exempted.]

“It’s a creature that extends from the wall.”

Warren could see it more clearly and said in a deep voice, “A dark brown tentacle-like creature. It’s huge, and from its appearance, it looks like a black stone eel from the underground world. This kind of creature usually hides in the cracks of the underground rock walls and is afraid of light, but I’ve never seen such a large black stone eel.”

In the cracks of the rock wall?

Fang Heng’s pupils were covered with a red glow as he looked at the wall in the darkness on his right.

“Be careful, I’ll go check it out.”

Fang Heng left the team and walked forward step by step until he came to the wall on the right and observed it carefully.

Eh?

There seemed to be something dark under the pockmarked wall.

Frowning, Fang Heng raised his hand and stabbed the wall with his sword.

“Swish!”

The bloodthirst thorn longsword pierced through the wall for less than two centimeters. The creature hidden under the wall seemed to have sensed the damage and quickly moved a few times. It wriggled deeper and quickly disappeared from sight.

Fang Heng frowned and turned around to look at the people behind him.

Mo Jiawei initially wanted to use the detection skill to see who the enemy was, but he helplessly put down his left hand that was covering his right eye and shook his head, “No, the time is too short. I can’t find the target. I can’t see clearly.”

“Fang Heng!!”

Tang Mingyue suddenly exclaimed.

Just as Fang Heng’s back was facing the wall, more than a dozen black tentacles suddenly stretched out from the wall behind him!

Whoosh!!

Fang Heng’s pupils suddenly contracted.

Teleportation!

Fang Heng immediately reacted and teleported forward.

However, the speed of the dark brown tentacles climbing was beyond imagination. In addition, Fang Heng was not on guard against his feet. The moment he teleported, several tentacles emerged from the pothole-filled ground under his feet and climbed up his ankle to his body.

Fang Heng was immediately trapped in place, and the tentacles on the wall stabbed at him!

Not good!

Fang Heng squinted his eyes and waved the long sword in his hand quickly.

‘Chi!!” “Thump!!!”

There was another crash.

The first two black tentacles were knocked away! The remaining tentacles wrapped around him!
