Chapter 1442 - 1442 The Entrance
1442 The Entrance
Fang Heng frowned and approached the cave entrance, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
Zheng Yuping also brought his men and followed.
Seeing Fang Heng’s puzzled look, he could not help but raise his guard. He looked in the direction of the cave entrance a few more times and asked Fang Heng in a low voice, “Fang Heng, how is it? What’s going on?”
Something was wrong!
Fang Heng sensed something. He stared at the inside of the cave, his eyes narrowed into slits.
Holy aura?
Fang Heng was very familiar with the holy aura.
He was very sure that a faint holy aura was coming from the depths of the cave.
It was too strange. Why was there a strange holy aura coming from the cave?
And there were endless undead creatures coming out of it?
“The cave is a little strange. Be careful. Let’s go in and investigate.”
Zheng Yuping’s expression also became serious as he signaled for his team to follow him.
“Alright.”
The entrance to the cave was very small, and it would be difficult to find it if the entire mountain stream was not cleared of undead creatures.
Fang Heng controlled the Lickers and the Ice Bones to lead the way. Everyone carefully followed behind and groped their way forward.
At first, the narrow entrance could only allow one person to enter sideways.
After that, as the passage ahead gradually widened, the area before them also gradually widened.
The cave was separated by stone pillar rocks, and it seemed to be connected in all directions.
Suddenly, everyone felt a cold aura assaulting them.
The game Hint on Fang Heng’s retina refreshed again.
[Hint: The player has been affected by the environment – high-tier Frost Hell effect. The player’s current soul strength is higher than S-level, immune to this negative effect.]
The light of the soul fire dispelled the coldness in the surroundings and illuminated the surroundings.
“Be careful.”
Stimulated by the aura of living people, the frozen vengeful spirits continued to spill out from the surrounding rock walls. The Ice Bones also staggered out of the surrounding shadows.
Fang Heng controlled the Lickers and the Ice Bones to pounce forward.
The federal team immediately gathered together to counterattack.
Fortunately, the density of these vengeful spirits wasn’t high, so the team easily dealt with them.
Zheng Yuping looked around and seemed to sense something. He raised his head and reminded Fang Heng, “Fang Heng, we’re pretty lucky. This is very likely one of the entrances to the shady line!”
“Oh?”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
Zheng Yuping had mentioned that the Holy Court had tried to completely solve the problem of the shady line a long time ago.
So the holy aura he sensed was related to the shady line?
Fang Heng quickly sensed the direction of the aura and pointed to the right. He nodded and said, “Go. Over there. Be careful and follow me.”
“Keep up!”
…
They walked around for nearly half an hour.
The members of the federal team followed the Ice Bones controlled by Fang Heng and continued to explore the narrow cave passage. Along the way, they encountered several attacks from frozen vengeful spirits that suddenly overflowed from the rock walls.
Kou Ming was completely stunned. He opened the game log and frowned.
In a special environment, the game did not give any hint about the map passage.
He felt that the terrain around him was similar, as if he had been here before. He began to wonder if he had been walking around in circles all this time.
Kou Ming couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Fang Heng, how much longer do we have to walk? Are we lost? I feel like I’ve been here before.”
“Yes, the route is roughly correct.”
Fang Heng replied after some thought, walking straight to a rock wall.
Previously, he had been circling around the area of the fluctuation by relying on his perception of the holy power.
His perception had clearly told him that he was very close to the location of the holy aura. It was nearby, but he had led the team around the surroundings several times, and he still could not find the entrance no matter how hard he tried.
Therefore, it was very likely that his search route was wrong.
There was no entrance at all!
Fang Heng stood in front of the stone wall and sized it up for a moment.
“Everyone, step back a little.”
Zheng Yuping’s expression turned serious, and he immediately signaled his team to take a few steps back, leaving enough space for Fang Heng to use his skills.
He could not care less at this moment. He believed that great strength would create miracles!
Fang Heng raised his fist and punched the rock wall in front of him.
“Bang!”
There was a dull sound of hitting.
Fang Heng raised his eyebrows.
His fist struck the rock wall, leaving a deep fist mark. The broken gravel brushed past Fang Heng’s cheek.
It was so hard!
The wall was very thick and solid.
That was right. The exact location of the fluctuation of the holy aura should be inside.
However, there was a long distance between them.
Fang Heng pondered and took two steps back.
Zheng Yuping picked up the gravel on the ground and examined it in his hand before walking to Fang Heng.
“Fang Heng, I think my judgment is correct. This is one of the entrances to the shady line. The stones here have become extremely hard after being invaded by the shady line. The real entrance is nearby. We have to look for it carefully.”
“It’s fine. There’s no need. This area is just right. Let’s change an easy way!”
Fang Heng looked at the rock wall in front of him and waved his hand.
After searching for more than half an hour, his patience was almost worn out.
He would use force.
“Hmm?”
“What did he mean?” Zheng Yuping wondered.
Under the confused gazes of Zheng Yuping and the Federation soldiers, the zombie clones behind them walked up one by one.
The zombie clones stood in front of the rock wall, raised the pickaxes in their hands, and started digging.
“Bang! Bang!”
Immediately, the sound of knocking and digging rang out in the passage.
Zheng Yuping silently shut his mouth and retreated.
“Right, Lord Fang Heng still had this plan,” he thought.
It was also like this back at the bone graveyard…
Everyone on the federal team reacted.
As the cave was relatively small, Fang Heng had chosen the largest open space and the largest rock wall to excavate.
Even so, there were only 20 to 30 zombie clones that could squeeze into a row and dig.
A moment later, the zombie clones dug a hole in the wall.
The narrow terrain and the hardness of the rock walls had brought great obstacles to the excavation, so the excavation efficiency was very slow.
After waiting for a good hour, Kou Ming heard the sound of rocks falling from the depths of the passage.
“It’s here!”
When the surrounding players heard this voice, their eyes lit up and they immediately gathered around.
“Yes, let’s go.”
Fang Heng looked at the game log and led the way into the newly dug passage.
After following the passage for more than ten meters, a relatively large cave appeared behind them.
Fang Heng was the first to step inside.
There was no entrance to the cave, and the surrounding walls were covered in dense rune marks.
Zheng Yuping followed Fang Heng into the cave. He looked up and around, and his face revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
