Chapter 1189 - 1189 Brushing
1189 Brushing
Seeing this, Sandy shrank back, feeling weak in the knees.
Tang Mingyue felt bitter in her heart.
So many dark serpents?
She knew that SSS-level missions were not easy, but this was too difficult.
Fang Heng shared the information he had just received, “It’s a mutated dark serpent. All its attributes are stronger than ordinary dark serpents. It might even have special skills.”
Tang Mingyue’s expression became even more bitter.
Well, it was even more difficult.
Wangnet squinted his eyes and thought for a moment. He then looked at Fang Heng and said, “Fang Heng, with our abilities and the flashbang just now, we still have some confidence in breaking through by force. Why don’t we let them stay here first, and the two of us go into the Imperial mausoleum to explore?”
Fang Heng considered for a while and then shook his head.
No.
The risk of barging in was still too high, and there was no need to do that.
“No rush, I have a better idea.”
“Oh?” Wangnet was surprised.
“Don’t forget that I’m the expert you invited. Just leave this small matter to me.”
Fang Heng appeared to be very confident. He patted Wangnet’s shoulder and gave him a look that said, “Well, I still need some time. Give me another half an hour.”
While speaking, Fang Heng lowered his head again and looked down at the abyss below. He couldn’t help but lick his lips gently.
Mutated dark serpent?
That’s good stuff!
Not only did it drop a Tier 2 mutation crystal, but it didn’t seem to be very strong.
The six hours to the zombies’ resurrection were almost up. It shouldn’t be hard to use the Lickers and fusion Tyrant forms to clear them out.
Fang Heng opened the game’s character column to check his character level.
He still needed a large number of Tier 2 mutation crystals to reach Level 29.
Previously, when other non-trial players had been present, he had not been able to properly grind and level up. Now that he had the right timing, location, and manpower, and that there were no other non-trial players around, he could think of a way to farm a wave of evolution crystals and level up his character.
Yes, it’s decided then. He would grind until he reached Level 29 first!
Wangnet thought about it, and he did not mind waiting for another half an hour. He nodded and said, “Okay, let’s retreat a little bit more for safety’s sake.”
“Yes, let’s retreat first.”
Tang Mingyue looked at Fang Heng.
She had roughly guessed that Fang Heng’s innate skill was related to the summoned creatures. She thought that Fang Heng’s skill was still on cooldown, so she followed Fang Heng back and waited quietly.
Qiu Yaokang didn’t seem to care at all. He even began to study the dark serpent’s corpse as if no one was there.
…
The group retreated from a distance and waited for more than half an hour.
In the meantime, Wangnet kept using his blackthorns to attack the dark serpents that popped up from below.
Fang Heng stood in front of the abyss and gazed down, glancing at the game log.
It was time.
The game notification appeared on his retina.
[Hint: Your zombie clone-Licker’s cooldown time has been reset.]
Wangnet suddenly realized the strange power fluctuation and turned to look at Fang Heng.
“Buzz… buzz…”
What was that?
Wangnet was shocked.
Many alchemy magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng, and the red-colored Lickers rushed out of the magic arrays. They followed closely behind one another and flew toward the stone steps ahead.
Buzzzzzz! Whoosh!
A large number of Lickers rushed down the stone steps, and most of them used their sharp claws and agile limbs to climb down the rock wall.
Wangnet could not help but look down the cliff.
They made their move!
The group of Lickers met the mutated dark serpents and immediately began a bloody massacre.
Black blood splashed everywhere, and a sizzling sound and a stinky smell came from below the rock wall.
The mutated dark serpents were suppressed by the Lickers.
Not only were the Lickers immune to the dark serpent’s fangs, but they also had powerful climbing abilities, allowing them to easily chase and fight the dark serpents in the rocky terrain.
In addition, the Lickers had inherited the effect of Fang Heng’s undying body and had a powerful self-recovery ability.
The dark serpents, on the other hand, were unable to use physical attacks such as biting to completely kill the Lickers. As a result, they gradually fell into a disadvantage.
“Thump! Dong!”
The heavy footsteps behind him startled Wangnet, and he could not help but look at Fang Heng again.
Four tall fusion Tyrant forms walked out from the large alchemy array behind Fang Heng.
Wangnet could not help but narrow his eyes.
This was the second time he had seen Fang Heng use a similar ability, and he was summoning a companion with strong vitality.
Tang Mingyue watched from the side as Fang Heng summoned a large group of Lickers, her eyes full of envy.
Was this how the big shots leveled up…
It was a little powerful.
Fang Heng stood at the side and looked at the fusion Tyrant forms that appeared from the alchemy magical array behind him. He suddenly felt a little helpless.
It couldn’t be helped. The fusion Tyrant forms were too big. Just them standing on the stone steps felt a little precarious as if they would fall into the abyss once they lost balance.
It was unlikely that they could join the battle, so they could only stand by and watch.
Whenever a dark serpent escaped from the group of Lickers and rushed over, he could use the mutated vines to tie it up and throw it into the abyss.
The disadvantage of this method was that there was no guarantee of killing the dark serpent, and even if it was killed, there was no way to retrieve the mutation crystals it dropped.
After a while, the game notifications on his retina started to refresh.
[Hint: Your zombie clone-Licker has dealt 361 damage to the mutated dark serpent…]
[Hint: Your zombie clone-Licker has been bitten, and received 466 points of damage.]
[Hint: Your zombie clone-Licker has killed the mutated dark serpent and obtained one mutation crystal.]
The mutated dark serpents also had extraordinary vitality. They began to counterattack madly and entangle with the Lickers.
Fang Heng waited for a moment until the game prompted that the mutated dark serpent was gradually dying. Then, he nodded to the others and said, “It’s done, let’s go.”
“Alright,” he said.
The others didn’t delay and followed Fang Heng to go down again.
The more they walked forward along the stone steps, the more shocked they were.
It was as if mutated dark serpents had taken over the entire deep abyss of the Imperial mausoleum.
The deeper they went, the more concentrated the dark serpents fighting the Lickers became.
It was to the extent that the Lickers summoned by Fang Heng couldn’t keep up with the speed of destruction at all.
Everyone had no choice but to slow down, walking and stopping.
In the end, even the rock walls along the way were covered with large patches of black insect eggs.
Seeing this scene, Tang Mingyue felt that her trypophobia was about to act up.
Fortunately, the Lickers had the ability to climb up the rock walls and were able to easily clear the eggs off the walls.
However, it was also because of this that everyone’s speed was delayed again.
They would often have to stop for five to six minutes after walking for more than ten meters. In the end, everyone decided to wait at the same spot, deciding to wait for the Lickers to slowly clear the stone steps for half an hour before setting off.
