1443 Holy Spike
“It seems that this area is one of the entrances to the shady line. The special rune on the surrounding walls can offset a portion of the aura leaking out of the shady line.”
Fang Heng also observed the rune and frowned. “Yes, it’s a special rune mark that belongs to the Holy Court.”
“From the information we’ve gathered, the Holy Court had once thought of completely sealing the shady line and purifying the world of Punoze. However, the Sacred Court seemed to have failed with the Necromancer Association intervening. They left Punoze completely, but there’s no telling what exactly happened.”
Kou Ming noticed something and pointed to the corner of the cave. “Look over there. What’s that on the ground?”
In the corner of the cave was a circle like a magic array.
A circle of spikes was nailed onto the outer circle.
Fang Heng turned his gaze to the magic array.
The holy aura he had sensed earlier was coming from the surroundings of the magic array.
But what exactly was this thing?
“Eh? This seems to be…”
Zheng Yuping felt that he had some recollection of this place. As he spoke, he slowly approached the circle of magic array.
Suddenly, the silver spikes that had been nailed into the ground began to flicker and crackle.
Zheng Yuping immediately felt an electric shock and quickly took two steps back.
“Just as I thought!”
His eyes lit up as he turned to Fang Heng and said, “Fang Heng, we’ve found a treasure. These are magic weapons left behind by the Holy Court. They have great restraining power against the undead. They’re also used to seal the passage to the shady line. They should have been left by the Holy Court many years ago.”
“Hmm?”
Fang Heng also walked to Zheng Yuping’s side to observe and asked, “So how do we enter the shady line? Destroy it?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the game hint appeared on the retina of Fang Heng and the other members of Zheng Yuping’s team.
[Hint: The player team has triggered a special mission: The magic weapon left behind by the Holy Court.]
[Mission name: Magical Weapon left behind by the Holy Court]
[Mission difficulty: B]
[Mission description: You have discovered a magic weapon left behind by the Holy Court during your trial in Frost Hell. This magic weapon has great power. Please record the location of the magic weapon and return to the Frost Fortress to report to the City Lord.]
[Mission requirements: Lead the City Lord’s team back and retrieve the magic weapon left behind by the Holy Court.]
[Failure penalty: None]
Kou Ming’s eyes lit up when he finished reading the game hint.
Missions!
And 100,000 mission points!
That was a huge profit!
Kou Ming looked at Fang Heng and Zheng Yuping with excitement.
With Fang Heng’s help, it was possible for them to get a Tier 6 orange crystal.
Zheng Yuping also felt happy and couldn’t help looking at Fang Heng.
“We’ve made a huge profit. One hundred thousand points can be exchanged for five orange crystals. There are also follow-up missions that can obtain even more points.”
Fang Heng glanced at the mission. His mood did not fluctuate much.
He came here to farm purple crystals of the highest level.
Such a reward was dispensable.
“So, how do we enter the shady line?”
“Let’s go back to the Frost Fortress and find the Lord of Undead City to complete the mission. He will send someone to follow us to deal with the seal. After the seal is completed, we will be able to find the entrance that is sealed by the magic weapon. The follow-up mission is probably related to under the entrance.”
Fang Heng frowned as he listened.
How troublesome.
He still had to run back.
After going back and forth, their trial was probably about to end.
In the end, he could only manage to obtain a sixth-tier crystal at best.
Wouldn’t it be too much of a loss?
When would he be able to get a Tier 7 crystal at this speed?
Every time the Frost Hell opened, it would take a month.
Fang Heng’s gaze focused on a circle of silver spikes on the ground not far away and asked, “So if we can get rid of these spikes, we can also follow into the shady line to take a look?”
“What? Is there a need for us to do it ourselves? The reward might expire.”
Zheng Yuping was stunned for a moment and frowned. “Theoretically, yes. I haven’t tried it before, so I can’t say for sure. However, World Lord, this thing left behind by the Holy Court is very dangerous. You have to be careful.”
“I see.”
Fang Heng nodded and tried to approach the circle of silver holy weapons.
Everyone from the federal team could not help but look at Fang Heng when they saw this, and their breathing could not help but become heavy.
Kou Ming’s heart was in his throat. He couldn’t understand.
They could’ve easily completed the mission and even triggered the follow-up mission, easily obtaining a sum of brilliant crystals.
However, Fang Heng did not seem to be satisfied with the current situation.
Eh?
As he read, Kou Ming’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Fang Heng actually slowly approached the circle of silver spikes left behind by the Holy Court until he squatted down beside them.
Unlike when Zheng Yuping approached, the magic weapon of the Holy Court did not react at all.
“Chi!”
Just as Fang Heng reached out to touch the silver spike, the spike suddenly emitted a ray of light.
Fang Heng felt a pain in his fingers as if he had been electrocuted. A wisp of green smoke burned between his fingers, and he immediately retracted his hand.
[Hint: Player received damage from Holy Spike, -6711]
What a high damage value.
Fang Heng took a look at the game hint and retracted his hand.
Originally, he wondered if he could pull out the silver spike and get another wave of Holy Court magic weapons while unsealing the shady line.
Helplessly, he did not get what he wanted.
He had already switched to his sacred form before approaching, but he was still affected by the holy spike when he wanted to pull it out.
Was it because of the rune on the wall and the magic array on the ground?
Fang Heng didn’t continue but observed the surrounding magic array.
The game hint appeared on his retina again.
[Hint: The player’s alchemy level has not reached the required level. Unable to obtain relevant information.]
His alchemy level was not high enough to crack it.
Then he would temporarily record the contents and get someone to help him take a look when he returned.
[Hint: You are trying to memorize the magic array…]
Fang Heng tried to memorize the magic array in the entire area before standing up again.
Zheng Yuping saw him standing up again after studying for more than ten minutes. He couldn’t help but ask, “Fang Heng, how is it?”
“Mm, it’s okay, it’s all right.”
Seeing the eagerness on Fang Heng’s face, Zheng Yuping could not help but remind him, “Fang Heng, this is a special alchemy magic array. It can’t be directly destroyed by external forces, or it might cause a big explosion.”
“Yes, I know.”
Since the alchemy magic array couldn’t be cracked and he could not directly pull it out, so he could only use that move.
Fang Heng nodded and flicked his wrist.
“Buzzing…”
The Book of Oaths floated in the air.
A dark golden light illuminated the cave.
What was going on?
When Zheng Yuping and the others saw Fang Heng take out the Book of Creation of the Holy Court, their expressions became extremely interesting.
Book of Creation?
Fang Heng?
Was he from the Holy Court?
No!
