Chapter 2549 Exploring Again

"From the intensity of the storm, the duration remains unknown. Therefore, our council just convened for a quick discussion and decided to take advantage of this time before the storm fully condenses. We should conduct another exploration of the mausoleum as soon as possible."
"Can you all hold on?"
[Hint: The yer triggered the next phase of the mission-Explore the Mausoleum Again.]
Mission requirements: Assist the undead council in exploring the mausoleum again.
Fang Heng and the others exchanged nces and nodded in agreement.
"No problem, Chairman Georgi. We will do our best."
During their previous exploration of the mausoleum, the three of them hadn''t used any resources at all. Just thinking about the ultimate reward from the ring mission boosted Li Shaoqiang''s spirits.
"Well,st time we explored the outer area of the mausoleum and encountered little danger. ording to our analysis, the ice crystal of Empress Persephone in your sea of consciousness won''t trigger the mausoleum''s defensive guards."
"So this time, we will head directly to the lower level of the mausoleum. Based on our estimates, the lower area shouldn''t trigger the mausoleum guards either. Of course, we can''t guarantee that. If you encounter any danger during the exploration, you must prioritize your safety and withdraw as quickly as possible."
"Understood."
Fang Heng silently nodded in agreement.
It seemed the undead council was preparing to explore the first basement of the mausoleum this time.
In fact, the previous main exploration areas of the undead council had also focused on the first basement.
Historically, the first basement would trigger powerful mausoleum guards, making exploration extremely challenging.
With Fang Heng and the other two Death Gods capable of exploiting bugs, the undead council was motivated to take bolder steps.
Each time they used the instrument to open a passage to the death realm, it required a massive amount of energy points.
At this point, the entire undead faction council was recklessly invested, unconcerned about the consequences.
For safety, the council had decided that if they sessfully explored the first basement, they would make multiple trips back and forth, aiming to clear out Empress Persephone''s mausoleum''s lower level before the storm arrived!
...
Soon, likest time, Fang Heng entered the death realm under the escort of twelve undead instructors.
He lifted his head to look at the sky.
Ahead, a thickyer of dark clouds loomed.
Compared to when they had leftst time, the clouds had be even denser.
Within the darkness, a chilling power seemed to condense.
"We''re off."
Once the undead instructors confirmed their numbers, they set out again.
As they pushed through the resurrected skeletal guards, they reached the entrance of the mausoleum once more.
To avoid triggering any traps within the passage, the undead instructors chose to wait at the mausoleum entrance while Fang Heng and his group delved deeper.
Meanwhile, through the mirror screen, the high-ranking instructors of the undead council watched closely as Fang Heng and his team moved.
Everyone felt a bit anxious.
Would the guards in the second basement of the mausoleum awaken at the presence of Fang Heng and the others?
In truth, no one felt confident about what might happen.
The storm in the death realm was imminent, leaving them with little time for exploration. If they could find information about the first basement, it would be ideal!
At least, with Fang Heng''s abilities, escaping danger was never a problem.
Once Fang Heng and his team sessfully passed through the passage into the first basement, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The atmosphere in the council hall rxed significantly.
They had seeded!
"Quick! Send guidance messages to Fang Heng on the stone b. Also, remind them to be extremely cautious, avoid acting recklessly, and retreat immediately if they encounter danger."
"Understood!"
The council hall buzzed to life again, quietly discussing the looting route for Fang Heng and his team.
Receiving the new route on the stone b, Fang Heng and hispanions pulled out a cart from their backpacks and set off on their scavenging journey.
Along the way, they encountered no guards.
After collecting five mausoleum stone chambers, Li Shaoqiang had already filled half the cart when they arrived at a stone chamber closer to the edge.
It was the mausoleum of the Frostbone Dragon!
Fang Heng recalled that this was where they had fought against the instructors of the undead factionst time.
Tan Shuo nced at the information disyed on the stone b and looked up, saying, "Fang Heng, this is the mausoleum of the Frostbone Dragon. The Frostbone Dragon was once Empress Persephone''s mount, and the undead council believes there may be some crucial information here."
"Mm."
Fang Heng nodded slightly and slowly approached the central coffin.
In the council hall, the necromancy instructors watched Fang Heng''s every move, their breaths growing heavier with anticipation.
During thest exploration of the mausoleum, the undead council team encountered Fang Heng. He had forcefully unlocked the mausoleum''s seal, unleashing the Frostbone Dragon and taking it away.
Afterward, the council stayed behind to inspect the remnants of the Frostbone Dragon''s coffin.
A thickyer of ck fog enveloped the coffin.
This ck fog was imprable in its projected state; it couldn''t be touched, and anyone who encountered it would be merged with it.
They were uncertain whaty within the fog, but their instincts told them that something important was stored inside the coffin.
Earlier on the way, Teacher Gu Luo had mentioned details about the Frostbone Dragon''s mausoleum to Fang Heng.
Therefore, Fang Heng was particrly cautious as he carefully examined the interior of the coffin.
Indeed, a dense ck fog surrounded the inside of the coffin.
Fang Heng tried to reach in with his hand.
Huh?
In his Death God spirit form, he discovered that he was merging with the ck fog itself.
Unable to discern whaty within the ck fog, Fang Heng sensed something strange.
He looked over at Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang.
"Can''t get anything out?"
"Yeah."
Tan Shuo leaned in closer, examining the ck fog inside the coffin. He pondered aloud, "So it seems the fog affects not only projections but also the Death God spirit form."
Li Shaoqiang shrugged and asked, "Should we wait? See if the undead council sends any messages?"
"No need. I''ll try again," Fang Heng replied, feeling increasingly intrigued by the Frostbone Dragon.
After all, the Frostbone Dragon was still sealed within the Shrine of Bones.
What if there was something in the coffin that could help him control the Frostbone Dragon?
Wouldn''t he be rich?
It was known that thest pursuers from the Holy Realm had been unable to withstand the death knight and the Frostbone Dragon, ending up severely injured.
Fang Heng''s eyes gleamed with a hint of greed as he nodded, "It''s a bit risky, but if anything happens, be ready to follow me and run."
Seeing Fang Heng''s serious expression, Tan Shuo and the others became tense as well, taking a couple of steps toward the mausoleum exit, ready to retreat at any moment.
Whoosh!
In the next moment, Fang Heng immediately exited his Death God form, returning to his human state.
What!
In the council hall, where the undead council was closely monitoring Fang Heng and the others, a wave ofmotion erupted.
The high-ranking instructors were scratching their heads, trying to find a solution after witnessing that even the Death God form couldn''t prate the ck fog. Suddenly, they were shocked to see Fang Heng actively revert to his human state within the mausoleum.
