1865 Escape
Fang Heng placed his hands in front of him and took out the dark golden holy scepter from his bag. He raised the scepter with both hands and smashed it fiercely!

“Boom!”

There was a dull crash.

A red glow appeared on the hidden alchemy magic array engraved on the ground.

“Crack, crack crack…”

Fine cracks appeared on the alchemy magic array where the scepter hit! Cracks instantly filled the entire magic array until it shattered with a loud sound!

“Bang!!”

At the same time, the chains binding the phantom shadow rat’s right leg exploded!

Fang Heng walked forward.

The phantom shadow rat fainted on the ground, its body covered in wounds. Blood stained its brown fur.

Whoosh!

Fang Heng opened his hand, and the Book of Nature appeared in his palm.

Spell-Nature blessing.

It was the lowest level of natural healing.

A gentle green light enveloped the phantom shadow rat.

The wounds on the phantom shadow rat’s body gradually healed. Soon, it slowly woke up from its serious injury and opened its eyes again.

At first, it was still a little weak, but when it realized that the shackles on its body had suddenly disappeared, its eyes revealed a look of surprise. It actually stood up from Fang Heng’s palm, puffed up its cheeks, and took a deep breath.

The black fog that filled the cave was sucked into its stomach and the injuries on its body were recovering at a visible speed!

After absorbing most of the remaining black fog in the cave, the phantom shadow rat regained its spirit and ran back and forth in the cave! It enjoyed the feeling of freedom.

Fang Heng nodded.

The phantom shadow rat’s self-recovery ability was also strong. If he had fought it head-on, he probably wouldn’t have won.

Just as he was thinking about it, a game notification flashed on his retina.

[Hint: You have helped the phantom shadow rat escape its shackles. The player’s current mission has been completed. Your affinity with the phantom shadow rat has increased greatly.]

[Hint: The player has triggered the next phase of the mission: Escape from the cage.]

Current mission stage-Escape from the cage.

Mission difficulty: S.

Description: You have discovered one of the sealed incarnations of the demonic seed, Sloth, in the special game space. Please try to bring the incarnation of Sloth, the phantom shadow rat, out of the special space.

Mission requirement: Help the phantom shadow rat leave the special game space.

Mission reward: Friendliness of Sloth’s incarnation (phantom shadow rat-Kikimi).

After regaining its freedom, the phantom shadow rat ran back and forth in the space and cheered for a moment. Then, it returned and jumped onto Fang Heng’s shoulder, squeaking.

Fang Heng raised his head, looked at the circular game rift at the top, and asked, “You want to leave from here, am I right?”

The phantom shadow rat nodded repeatedly.

Aktu’s vision had been covered by a thick black fog, and he had no idea what was going on.

When the thick fog in front of him dissipated, he received a notification that the mission was completed.

He looked at Fang Heng in disbelief.

What exactly happened in the thick fog just now?
The terrifying squirrel actually climbed up Fang Heng’s shoulder from his hand, and it even looked very obedient?

“Squeak! Squeak squeak!”

The phantom shadow rat sensed Aktu’s gaze and barked at him as if it was showing off its power.

Aktu was shocked and took half a step back. He muttered, “Brother Fang Heng, this, this…”

“Yes, the problem has been solved. There’s no need to be nervous. This little guy is not dangerous.”

Fang Heng gently rubbed Kikimi’s head and continued to look up at the sky.

There was no doubt that the phantom shadow rat’s strength had been strengthened by the demonic seed, Sloth, so its strength was extraordinary.

With its power, they might be able to escape from the Federation’s layers of encirclement!

As he thought about it, Fang Heng once again observed the cave space around the game.

Previously, the phantom shadow rat had been affected by the magic array’s shackles, and the black fog in its body had erupted uncontrollably from its body. After the black fog filled the space, it gradually seeped out of the game rift, affecting the outside world.

Now that there were no restraints, the black fog on the phantom shadow rat’s body no longer spread. The density of the black fog in the space was also slowly decreasing, and Fang Heng and Aktu’s vision became clearer.

The entire space was a large cage with no exits. The bottom was wider, and the higher it went, the narrower it became. The highest point was the location of the game rift.

In any case, they had to leave this place first!

Fang Heng raised his head and looked up at the game rift.

Previously, they were forcefully pulled into the game rift by the power of the black fog.

As for going out…

Fang Heng looked at Aktu and said, “Let’s give it a try and see if we can leave the space.”

“Alright.”

Aktu replied excitedly.

It didn’t matter how Fang Heng did it. In short, it seemed that Fang Heng could now control the squirrel.

The phantom shadow rat’s strength was terrifying.

With its help, Big Brother and Second Brother could be saved!

“Squeak squeak squeak!”

The phantom shadow rat probably knew that it was about to break free, so it stood on Fang Heng’s shoulder and squeaked excitedly.

“Whoosh!”

Fang Heng tapped the ground lightly with the tip of his toes and leaped up, climbing up the rock wall quickly.

The surface of the rock wall was uneven, so it was not difficult to climb it.

Fang Heng climbed to the top of the rift and grabbed it. Aktu also climbed along the rock wall to the other side.

The two of them exchanged glances. Aktu nodded and said, “Brother Fang Heng, I’ll go and give it a try first. You’ll support me.”

“Good!”

Aktu exerted strength with both of his heads and leaped towards the black game rift that was suspended at the top of the cave.

“Whoosh!”

Aktu’s finger disappeared the moment it touched the game rift.

It seemed like he had succeeded.

Fang Heng felt a little more at ease and glanced at the phantom shadow rat on his shoulder.

“It’s our turn.”

As he spoke, Fang Heng leaped forward with all his might.

Huh?

Fang Heng’s figure was still in mid-air but before he could get close to the rift, a dark golden light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes!

Holy power fluctuations exploded from the game rift!

“Bang!”

Fang Heng was repelled by the holy power fluctuation. He immediately reached out and grabbed the other side of the rock wall to prevent himself from falling.

Raising his head to look at the rift in the sky, Fang Heng already had some guesses in his heart.

It was a sealing magic array.

The sealing magic array in the outside world had been set up specifically for the phantom shadow rat.

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

The phantom shadow rat barked a few times at the game rift above, looking a little angry.

“There’s no hurry. You stay here and wait. I’ll go out and open the seal from the outside first. I’ll be back soon to bring you out.”

Fang Heng patted that phantom shadow rat’s head and said, “I’ll need your help later.”

“Squeak, squeak, squeak…”

The phantom shadow rat understood Fang Heng’s words. It jumped off Fang Heng’s shoulder and easily jumped onto a small protruding rock beside that rock wall. It took a deep breath and puffed up its cheeks, looking ready to be on standby.

Fang Heng nodded plus flew toward that game rift again.

“Whoosh!”

This time, without any surprises, Fang Heng became directly sucked into that game rift.
