1746 The Trapped Team
Fang Heng nodded and didn’t linger on this question. He said, “There are still three hours left until dawn. It’s almost time. Let’s go straight to the center of the mausoleum to take a look.”
Ji Mingbo’s spirit was lifted when he heard that.
He had been waiting for this moment!
“Good! Mr. Fang, I’ll inform the team right away.”
…
In the central region of the mausoleum, at the exits of the various maze passages stood a grand hall.
The dozen or so trapped players of Black Castle gathered at the entrance of the hall and sat in a circle on the ground.
All the players were dressed in black and wore the same mask.
From time to time, a group of spider-like machines would emerge from the exit of the maze and pounce on them.
However, the machines were affected by a special force just as they were within a hundred meters of them. Their entire bodies floated in the air uncontrollably and exploded!
The party had already maintained this state for a full four days and five nights.
Suddenly, everyone sensed something. They opened their eyes and looked at a passage on the right side of the maze at the same time.
At the entrance of the gate, two figures walked out of the passage side by side.
Whoosh!
A player sitting on the ground suddenly stood up from his seat and disappeared from where he was.
When he appeared again, he was already blocking the two people at the entrance of the passage.
Ji Mingbo followed Fang Heng and broke through the spatial defense barrier of the passageway. They were about to reach the center of the maze. Before they could see what was in front of them, they suddenly saw a figure appear in front of them. Their hearts skipped a beat.
When he saw who it was, Ji Mingbo quickly cupped his fists.
“Ji Mingbo greets Mr. Sun!”
“Yes.”
Sun Yu nodded slightly and looked at Fang Heng beside Ji Mingbo.
Ji Mingbo did an introduction, “This is Mr. Fang. We got here successfully with his help.”
“Thank you for your hard work.”
Sun Yu’s voice was hoarse. He glanced at Fang Heng and nodded at Sun Yu. He said, “Come with me. He will stay here for now.”
Ji Mingbo gave Fang Heng an apologetic look.
Fang Heng nodded to show that he understood. He took half a step back and controlled the dozen or so zombie clones to retreat as well.
Fana had communicated with Fang Heng before.
The trapped party didn’t know about him, so the deal would only be completed after all the trapped parties were rescued.
Fang Heng felt that his cooperation with the Black Castle had always been very pleasant, so he readily agreed to this request.
“It’s okay, Mr. Sun. Bring him along. This is not how we treat our guests.”
Fang Heng heard a cold voice and couldn’t help but turn around.
The woman who spoke wore a mask on her face, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. However, her figure looked relatively thin.
There were more than ten players from the Black Castle present, but the mask on her face was slightly different.
It had a silver trim.
Sun Yu’s voice was hoarse. He nodded at Fang Heng, raised his hand, and said, “Sorry, please follow me.”
Fang Heng and Ji Mingbo immediately followed Sun Yu into the entrance of the central hall of the mausoleum and looked at the people sitting around on the ground.
Everyone was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to judge their appearance.
However, it seemed that the thin woman sitting in the middle was the leader of this team.
The rest of the people were very respectful to her.
“I’m Charlene. Thank you for your help. You risked your life to come here.” Charlene nodded at Fang Heng, then looked at Ji Mingbo and asked, “How is the situation outside?”
“The Federation is expanding the teleportation passage in the camp. It is expected to be completed by midnight. The follow-up support team from the Federation will arrive tomorrow morning. The leader hopes that we can leave this place tonight.”
Ji Mingbo briefly explained what had happened in the outside world and respectfully handed the spirit transmission crystal to Charlene.
Charlene took the spirit stone and placed it in her palm. She closed her eyes and tried to communicate with the outside world.
A moment later, Charlene opened her eyes again.
“Yes, the outside world has already made preparations. The Federation still doesn’t know our true goal. We still have time.”
Charlene put away the crystal and looked at Ji Mingbo. She asked, “You still have it with you, right?”
“Yes, sir!”
Ji Mingbo didn’t dare to be careless. He carefully took out a piece of glassware from his backpack and handed it to Charlene again with a serious expression.
What was it?
Why was he so careful with it?
Fang Heng’s curiosity was piqued. He couldn’t help but look at the item in Ji Mingbo’s hand.
Huh?!
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat.
This thing was actually…
Tong Jia’s research project!
It was a special compound that could trigger the reaction of the original devouring body!
The glassware contained a large piece of a composite fragment!
Fang Heng stared at the fragment.
This fragment was much bigger than the one he had obtained from the exhibition hall!
He remembered that when the Black Castle team attacked the exhibition hall, they used an explosion to destroy the entire piece of the composite.
It was obvious that other than him, there were others in the Black Castle who had taken advantage of the chaos to obtain the composite fragments.
Charlene held the composite in her palm and examined it for a moment before nodding, “Alright, thank you for your hard work, everyone. I believe that everything we’ve put in is worth it.”
Hearing this, everyone followed Charlene and stood up one after another, walking towards the inner part of the hall.
Fang Heng didn’t know what they were going to do, but he noticed something.
The Black Castle must have been hiding something from him.
From the moment he saw the trapped team, Fang Heng had a feeling.
The Black Castle did not seem to be in a hurry to get out of the mausoleum.
So what were they going to do?
Curious, Fang Heng quickened his pace and followed the crowd into the main hall at the back and quickly looked around.
The layout of the entire hall was very simple.
A sarcophagus was placed in the middle of the empty hall.
Fang Heng’s gaze shifted to the sarcophagus, and his heart could not help but beat violently again.
The sarcophagus!
He had seen a similar sarcophagus in another mausoleum.
And here, he saw another one!
Fang Heng stared at the sarcophagus.
As his spatial science level had increased to master level, his perception of space had become several times sharper than before!
There were spatial traps around and inside the sarcophagus!
Moreover, the traps were all aimed at the inside!
Fang Heng noticed that the people from the Black Castle were walking towards the sarcophagus. He could not help but remind them in a low voice, “Be careful, everyone. There are spatial traps around the sarcophagus.”
Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Fang Heng.
One of the players said, “Thank you for your reminder. We have already carefully observed the sarcophagus and discovered the existence of a spatial trap. Please step back a little to avoid being affected by the spatial fluctuations.”
Fang Heng frowned.
They already know about the spatial trap? And they wanted to forcefully attack the sarcophagus?
