1032 The Inescapable Disaster


    At the bottom of theke in Cesar forest, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei were looking at each other.


    Following Mo Jiawei’s direction, they soon found a ck stone under theke.


    In the beginning, Fang Heng felt that the stone contained energy fluctuations.


    Just as they discussed moving the stone up to study it, lines of games appeared unexpectedly when their fingers touched the stone.


    Main storyline?


    The barbarian race invasion?


    There was too much information, and Fang Heng found it challenging to digest.


    They should deal with this rock first!


    Fang Heng lowered his head again to observe the properties of the rock.


    [ Item: Unknown ]


    [ Description: An unknown rock. ]


    [ Description: This unique item can not be ced in the backpack or pass through the time passage. ]


    The stone was not heavy, but he could not put it in his backpack.


    Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei nodded and gestured to the water’s surface.


    Mo Jiawei immediately understood and cooperated with Fang Heng to fish the stone out of the deep bottom of theke.


    After much effort, they finally dragged the stone to the water and threw it on the river bank.


    Fang Heng climbed out of theke and observed the rock.


    It was extraordinary.


    It was unknown what unique material the stone was made of, but its surface was extremely rough, and there were even fine holes.


    Energy fluctuations continued to leak out from the holes on the stone’s surface.


    Fang Heng touched his chin.


    ording to Qiu Yaokang, the dragon mosquito pupae needed to absorb arge amount of energy to hatch, and the energy required to hatch was from this big stone.


    He thought of the stone chest he had obtained in the cave.


    A mural on the outside of the stone box depicted a group of people cutting and dividing the stones.


    Could it be the same type of stone?


    Mo Jiawei thought of Sandy’s drawing and turned his head to ask, “Fang Heng, why don’t we bring it back for Qiu Yaokang to study?”


    “Yes.”


    He was unsure what to think of it, so he might take the stone back for Qiu Yaokang to check.


    But then again, what was the situation with the game hint regarding the barbarian race invasion just now?


    Fang Heng opened the hint for the game’s main storyline and rechecked it.


    His eyes lit up when he saw the news that the barbarians were about to attack the viges near Hani City.


    “We only triggered the mission after touching the stone. It seems like these two incidents are rted,” Mo Jiawei analyzed.


    “Yeah, I think so too.”


    Mo Jiawei continued, “Aren’t the barbarians able to control wild beasts? In my opinion, the dragon mosquitoes were bred by the barbarians as they wanted to use their power to deal with the human empire. Since we destroyed the nest in advance, they decided toy their cards on the table and directly attack the human cities. They’ve revealed their true intentions.”


    “That’s reasonable,” Fang Heng agreed.


    “The barbarians will attack several major border cities, including Hani City. What’s our next step? Are you going to meet up with Wei Tao?”


    The next step?


    Of course, it was to protect the vige andplete the mission!


    The barbarian race!


    He wondered if he would obtain a Tier 2 mutation crystal after killing them.


    Oh, right, there was also blood!


    Fang Heng’s eyes flickered with a touch of expectation, and he said, “The team trial mission is shared. Wei Tao should have received the mission notification. They should have a mission arranged. Let’s not find them. We’ll go back to the main storyline.”


    “Alright.”


    While he was talking, the fusion Tyrant forms walked over under Fang Heng’s control. They lifted the big stone on the ground and wrapped it tightly with vines.


    “Let’s go!”


    …


    In the vige outside the forest, the Tianli Mercenary slept for a few hours before dragging themselves out of bed to pack up and prepare for their journey.


    Necromancy mages were genuinely terrifying.


    Ma Xiaowan and the other mercenary groupmanders were still in shock after what had happenedst night.


    Ma Xiaowan felt it was better to run away and hide in the city before the gates of Hani City closed tonight.


    In short, the further away they were from the two troublemakers, the better.


    The team was preparing supplies and getting ready to set off when Ma Xiaowan suddenly heard a noise outside.


    She looked out of the window and noticed amotion in the vige.


    A mercenary group member ran into the room in a hurry.


    “Commander! Something bad has happened.”


    Ma Xiaowan’s heart sank.


    As expected, disaster still came!


    Ma Xiaowan had already anticipated that something unexpected would happen, so she calmly asked, “What is it? Hurry up and tell me!”


    “The Empire’s army stationed in the vige suddenly announced martialw. The entire town has beenpletely sealed off, and all ess prohibited.”


    “What?”


    Ma Xiaowan was stunned.


    What was going on? Was the Empire making a big move?


    Why was the disaster so terrible this time?


    While she was still in shock, another subordinate hurriedly ran in from the door and reported, “Commander Ma, the deputymander of the Empire’s 78th legion stationed in the vige, Ao Cang, invites you for a discussion immediately. He says that there’s an important matter, and it’s extremely urgent.”


    “Do you know what it is?” asked Ma Xiaowan.


    He carefully swallowed his saliva before saying, “It seems that the barbarian race has invaded.”


    The barbarian race?


    Ma Xiaowan’s heart sank, and an unspeakable fear rose.


    This was not good!


    In recent years, there have been incidents of savage beasts attacking human empires. However, the savage beasts constantly attacked the northern regions of the Empire. This time, they were attacking from the South.


    …


    At this moment, Fang Heng had just returned to the temporary stronghold in the forest with many harvested materials.


    After reaching level 27, Fang Heng had more than 300 regr zombie clones as coolies.


    After waiting for a while, the proliferation effect would appear, and their work would double.


    The only thing theycked now was iron ore to mass-produce ironware.


    Otherwise, the zombie clones could be equipped with high-tier collection tools on arge scale and improve their efficiency.


    Qiu Yaokang took a closer look at the stone that Fang Heng brought back and immediately asked someone to get it into the research room to study it.


    Fang Heng controlled the zombie clones to build fortifications outside the temporary camp and then sent a small number of lickers to the Cesar Forest’s periphery to investigate the barbarians’ movements.


    Were the barbarians preparing to attack the human empires?


    He could stop them here!


    He would give them a head-on blow!


    Then, it would be a mass ughter.


    Fang Heng thought to himself in satisfaction.


    He did not know what level the barbarians were and what mutation crystals they could provide.


    It would be great if a Tier 2 mutation crystal appeared. He would probably be able to level up two or three more times.


    If he were lucky, he might even be able to awaken the sacred tree’s seed.


    Fang Heng was moved.


    From the analysis of the game’s background information Wei Tao had obtained, the barbarians were generally muscr and did not look much different from ordinary humans.


    They had a unique bloodline that was passed down from ancient times. Their physical strength and brute force far exceeded ordinary people, and they could erupt with extraordinarybat ability when they were on the verge of death.
