What kind of strange method did Fang Heng use to purify the plague aura?

Wangnet had just finished cleaning up the headquarters of the Holy Court. He brought back a group of elite barbarians to meet up with Warren and his team through a teleportation passage of the ghost tower.

Seeing Fang Heng crawl out of the hole, Wangnet waved his hand impatiently and asked loudly, “Fang Heng, we’ve already cleared out the Holy Mountain and obtained quite a number of holy equipment. How’s the situation in the abyss?”

Fang Heng slowly walked toward Wangnet and the others and nodded in response, “Hmm, the situation is good. The plague aura has been weakened by a large portion. It will take a longer time to completely break free from the Saint’s seal, but we still have to think of a way to completely destroy it.”

When the president of the Mage Association, Price, heard this, he couldn’t help but feel moved. He hurriedly asked, “The abyssal demon has been weakened? How long can the seal last?”

Fang Heng glanced at the game notification and said, “About three months?” When everyone heard this, they could not help but be stunned.

What?

Three months?

Warren was just thinking about how to simplify the alchemy magic array when he heard this. He raised his head and stared at Fang Heng, blurting out, “Are you sure?”

What did he say?

There were still three months before the Saint’s seal was broken?

Didn’t they say that there were only five days left?

The other people present were also a little stunned.

Fang Heng came in front of everyone with a serious expression. He did not have the intention to joke so he confirmed on the spot, “Hmm…if there are no accidents, there will be at least three months before the abyssal demon breaks free from the seal.”

After hearing Fang Heng’s confirmation, Warren was overjoyed.

If it was three months, then they would have a lot of room for maneuvering!

They could set up more defensive barriers, and more strange methods and ideas could be tested and put into practice…

The researchers and experts involved in the study of the plague aura were also excited. They began to whisper and discuss.

In the crowd, Mo Jiawei shrugged indifferently.

There was not much difference between three days and three months.

There were still three days left, and their in-game trial time would end. At that time, they would be forcefully removed from the game.

At present, most of the main and side missions of the trial had been completed. It was too difficult to find any more missions to increase the trial time. Moreover, the trial had dragged on for too long. The aura of the dead realm in the real world was even more troublesome. He had to try his best to get an SSS-level score in three days to complete the trial.

Fang Heng had the same thought.

Not three months, but three days.

He had to finish the final main storyline within three days!

“Fang Heng!”

Fang Heng raised his head and looked into the distance.

In the crowd, Qiu Yaokang waved at him with a cold face and even signaled him with his eyes.

Fang Heng was stunned. He immediately signaled for the Empire soldiers to move aside and bring Qiu Yaokang over.

Qiu Yaokang had been doing research in the research lab, so Fang Heng was surprised to see him here.

“Why are you here?”

When Mo Jiawei saw Qiu Yaokang coming over, he said in surprise, “Genius Qiu? Did you find anything?”

Warren was discussing with a few vice presidents of the Mage Association. When he saw Qiu Yaokang, he stopped and looked at him.

“Let me introduce you.” Fang Heng gestured to Qiu Yaokang, “This is Qiu Yaokang, a pharmacist who studies the abyssal demon. He’s my friend, and he’s a loner.”

Everyone from the Mage Association nodded and greeted Qiu Yaokang.

Qiu Yaokang glanced at the others from the corner of his eyes and ignored them. He continued to look at Fang Heng and said, “I came here especially to look for you. Also, I want to see the situation of the abyssal demon myself.”

Fang Heng shrugged helplessly and said, “Then it seems like you’re going to be disappointed. There’s an internal seal at the bottom of the abyss. You can’t enter. Also, the concentration of the plague aura in the mine is too high. You can only look at the periphery at most.”

Qiu Yaokang looked in the direction of the collapsed mine entrance.

“The test version of the special potion to resist the plague aura has been developed. I brought some over for testing. Anyway, let’s go into the mine and take a look.”

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but nod, “This is good!”

“Yes.” Qiu Yaokang raised his glasses and continued, “The main reason for coming personally is for another matter. I’ve conducted a special test on the abyssal demon sample you brought earlier. I’ve made a major discovery and felt the need to come and explain it to you.”

Seeing Qiu Yaokang so serious, Fang Heng became interested and asked, “What did you find?”

“I’ve examined the live samples of the abyssal demon and found a mixture of two types of power after analysis. Based on this, I believe that the abyssal demon is the fusion of two types of objects, eventually forming a new species. It has the characteristics and power of the two initial objects at the same time. Of course, there are also some weaknesses.”

Fang Heng frowned and asked, “Two types of power? Which two?”

“Yes, one of them is the power of the ‘demonic seed’ that we are familiar with.

It has a powerful ability to revive and mutate. The other power is more strange.

It has a powerful, corrosive effect and some dark and poisonous attributes. After the two powers fused, they formed a new life form like the abyssal demon. In addition, after the two powers combined, some unstable mutations occurred…”

Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that. He immediately thought of the power absorbed by the sacred tree, Abe Akaya, and unconsciously muttered to himself, “You mean the Power of Foulness…” According to Qiu Yaokang’s description, the abyssal demon was a mixture of the ‘demonic seed’ virus and the Power of Foulness.

“What did you say? The Power of Foulness?”

Qiu Yaokang raised his eyebrows and thought for a while before nodding in agreement, “Your description is quite accurate. In addition, I’ve done some tests on some of the live samples after separation. I found that the sacred study has a very strong restraining ability against the abyssal demon. The reason for this restraint is that it targets the Power of Foulness of the abyssal demon.” Qiu Yaokang explained when he saw that everyone was confused. “To be more precise, the holy system’s ability restrains the Power of Foulness, and the abyssal demon has also inherited the weakness of the Power of Foulness.”

“We currently have very little research and information on the Power of Foulness, but we know a lot about the remaining part of the ‘demonic seed’ virus. In the past, some potions could be effective against the ‘demonic seed’ virus with a slight improvement. I’ve already developed a special potion that can restrain the power of the ‘demonic seed’ virus in the abyssal demon for a short period of time.”

Fang Heng’s eyes lit up and asked, “Restrain?”
