    “Under normal circumstances, the Door of Bones is sealed. It will open automatically when it is illuminated by the corresponding soul candle.”


    “Now that this restriction has failed, it means that the magic array in the center can no longer function normally.”


    Fang Heng nodded and followed the team through the Door of Bones.


    Behind the door, there was another chaotic maze.


    “Starting from the central region, the maze will automatically change every five hours. There are a total of 987.7 billion changes in the structure.”


    “Fortunately, the soul candle can guide us.”


    Dong Jiachen exined and reminded Fang Heng, “Fang Heng, we have to be careful. After entering the central region, we will encounter mid-level soul bodies. They are very difficult to deal with.”


    “Alright.”


    As he spoke, Fang Heng moved closer to the center of the team.


    After all, he was only a beginner. He still needed the protection of these high-tier yers on the team.


    Along the way, under the protection of many high-tier necromancy yers, Fang Heng followed the team through the mid-level and high-level regions. They killed several soul bodies along the way and arrived at the deepestyer.


    Along the way, quite a few other necromancers who were trapped in the fallen corridor joined the team, and the team grew even stronger.


    In front of them, the entire central region was blocked by a wall made of white bones.


    Pu Shi’s brows furrowed as he stopped in front of the final bone barrier outside the central region.


    It was different from before. Upon closer inspection, the bone spikes protruding from the bone barrier were covered in cracks.


    The bone barrier had signs of being forcefully broken and forced into.


    Pu Shi raised his hand and touched the door.


    “Ka…”


    With a slight push, the door was gently pushed open by Pu Shi.


    In an instant, a sinister chill overflowed from the door.


    Fang Heng moved the tip of his nose.


    He smelled an extremely rotten smell.


    Looking at the deepest and darkest part of the corridor behind the bone barrier, Fang Heng’s eyes narrowed once again. Ayer of red light covered his eyes.


    It was a magic array!


    Fang Heng had never seen such a vast magic array.


    The entire football field-sized circr hall was covered with a magic array!


    And in the center of the magic array was a skeleton.


    A skeleton that looked like ck jade.


    The skeleton sat on the stone steps, wearing armor, with a huge sword in its hand.


    Beside the skeleton was a stone tform, and above the stone tform was a strange gray box.


    Just looking at the skeleton made Fang Heng feel intense pressure in his heart.


    Fang Heng took a deep breath and closed his eyes to try and sense anything.


    The cold and rotten smell came from the gray box beside the skeleton.


    Dong Jiachen poked Fang Heng and said in a low voice, “Hey, Fang Heng, look over there.”


    Fang Heng looked in the direction that Dong Jiachen was pointing and his heart skipped a beat.


    Two corpses!


    There were two corpses on the ground at the periphery of the seal.


    The clothes on their bodies were very neat and new, but the corpses had already turned into a pile of white bones.


    The soul candle that had fallen beside them was still burning and emitting a weak light so that everyone could see it clearly at a nce.


    Pu Shi clenched his fists tightly.


    Thest thing he wanted to see had happened.


    It was an intruder from the outside world.


    These two were the spies hiding inside the Necromancer Association.


    They had broken the internal seal.


    “Everyone, we’re in big trouble…”


    The yers were all secretly rmed. They had never seen such a situation before, so they didn’t know how to deal with it.


    “Everyone here is a core member of the Necromancer Association. I’m sure you’ve all heard of the sealed death realm crevice within the association.”


    “When we first designed the death realm crevice’s seal, due to safety considerations, the seal was divided into three parts. The seal in the middle of the fallen corridor is one of them.”


    “Now that the seal has been destroyed, it has temporarily lost its effectiveness. It seems that the attacker has died.”


    Pu Shi looked at the two skeletons in the central region.


    “It’s not clear whether the attacker’s target is the death realm crevice. If it is, then the seals in other ces might be attacked at the same time.”


    “Considering the current situation, there are two ways to solve this.” Pu Shi raised two fingers. “First, retreat from the central region and quietly stay in the periphery of the fallen corridor to wait for outside support.”


    “The association will think of a way to open a passage into the fallen corridor to rescue us while ensuring the safety of the nearby city.”


    “This n is very dangerous. As time passes, the strength that overflows from the death realm crevice will gradually erode the other two seals. Once the death realm passage ispletely opened, the entire world will fall into disaster.”


    “I will definitely not choose to wait for my death.”


    “Therefore, the second method is for us to personally resolve this problem. We’ll rely on our own strength to repair the seal once again.”


    After Pu Shi said this, he turned around and faced everyone.


    “Simply put, this is the situation.”


    The yers all bowed in unison.


    “Please instruct us, Teacher.”


    “Middle-tier and above necromancy members, enter the central region with me to check the seal’s condition and attempt to repair the seal. Everyone else, stand guard and wait for orders!”


    “Understood! Teacher!”


    Pu Shi turned around as he spoke and stepped forward.


    “Pa da…”


    The sharp tip had just touched the ground in the central region of the fallen corridor.


    “Shi…”


    In an instant, two blue lights shed in the eyes of the ck skeleton in the center of the circr hall.


    A dim yellow blue light suddenly lit up the stone tform in the center of the hall.


    The magic array on the ground, which had already been damaged, was affected by the light blue light. It eroded bit by bit and gradually eroded outwards.


    Oh no!


    It was the Shrine of Bones!


    Pu Shi’s expression suddenly turned extremely grave.


    Fang Heng also felt an extremely cold aura suddenly rise from under his feet.


    In the blink of an eye, a dense number of high-tier soul bodies floated up from the floor of the central hall, almost piling up in the entire hall!


    “Retreat first!”


    Pu Shi gave a shout and called the yers behind him to retreat from the central hall together.


    Before the soul had fully formed, the yer had already retreated from the central region.


    “Bang!!”


    Pu Shipletely closed the Door of Bones.


    “Teacher Pu Shi, that was…”


    “It’s the Shrine of Bones. The Shrine of Bones has the strength to awaken the soul’s consciousness. There are also several undying resentments that have been sealed for tens of thousands of years.”


    Shrine of Bones?


    The yers were shocked.


    “The Shrine of Bones is one of the association’s treasures. It has been damaged for a long time and has lost most of its abilities. Hence, the association has ced the Shrine of Bones here as the core of the magic array. They hope that it can receive the nourishment of the aura of the death realm and slowly repair itself.”


    Shrine of Bones?


    So the real goal of the intruders was to seize the Shrine of Bones?


    Ridiculous! Extremely stupid!


    Pu Shi’s heart surged with anger.


    Not only did they not obtain the Shrine of Bones, but they triggered the self-protection of the Shrine of Bones, activating the strength of the Shrine of Bones that had been nurtured for hundreds of years.


    Now, they were in big trouble.


    The difficulty of repairing the magic array had increased thousands of times!
