1135 Countermeasure


    “Of course. Please leave it to us. We’ll do our best, but our spiritual power is limited. We can’t guarantee that we can control them for a long time.”


    “Okay, just try to buy me as much time as possible.”


    Fang Heng nodded to Ed and said in a deep voice, “Be careful.”


    “Alright,” he said.


    Taking advantage of the fact that the three ckthorn clones were temporarily entangled by the mages of Ed’s team, Fang Heng was free and quickly swept forward.


    After making sure that the game didn’t give any warning like ‘using the yer’s power to carry out the trial’, Fang Heng sped up all the way and escaped with peace of mind.


    He ran quickly along the tunnel dug by the zombie clones until he left the entrance.


    After sprinting forward for a while, Fang Heng saw the team escorting the Empire’s treasures not far ahead and felt relieved.


    The situation was still good.


    In front, Tang Mingyue and her party were currently engaged in battle with the fleeing ckthorn clone!


    Unlike Fang Heng, Tang Mingyue’s mood was extremely terrible. She gritted her teeth andmanded her team to fight against one of the ckthorn clones.


    Tang Mingyue’s party consisted of many mages. They relied on their weakening spells, and with the help of the melee yers and the horde of cave-dwelling beasts, they were able to suppress the pursuing ckthorn clones.


    Fang Heng quickly leaped toward Tang Mingyue, who was on the right side of the team.


    “How is it? Are you alright?”


    “Fang Heng, it’s too difficult for me.”


    Seeing Fang Henging over, Tang Mingyue felt as if she had seen the sufferer. Her eyes turned red and she finally had a ce to vent all her grievances. “The royal treasury is really too much of a scam!”


    Fang Heng saw Tang Mingyue’s face at a close distance and couldn’t help but be surprised.


    That was strange!


    There was something wrong with her eyes!


    The wriggling blood vessels in Tang Mingyue’s eyes had now gathered together, forming a faint red outline around her pupils.


    Could it be the demonic seed?


    Tang Mingyue didn’t notice the change in her eyes. She continued toin to Fang Heng, “What a loss. There are so many boxes of rubbish books.”


    Originally, there were more than a hundred boxes filled with treasures in the royal treasury. The guards were unable to bring all of them out and could only bring out a third, about thirty boxes.


    She did not expect that her luck would be even worse after that. Tang Mingyue encountered the troublesome royal guard, Cheng Jiqiang. She had to risk her reputation dropping crazily along the way to deliver the treasures to the target location.


    In the end, they only managed to save half of the treasures.


    There were 13 boxes in total. Two of them contained the magic cores and the unknown stone that Fang Heng wanted. The other two boxes filled with mithril were thrown to the barbarians as bait.


    Tang Mingyue only got nine boxes.


    Having just escaped from the passage, Tang Mingyue finally had the time to open the boxes one by one and check them carefully.


    Tang Mingyue almost fainted when she saw it.


    Five of the remaining nine boxes were filled with thick ancient books, and they were skill books!


    It just had to be the most useless ancient history books of the human Empire.


    At the thought of the huge investment in the early stages, the time and energy spent, the hard work along the way, and the pressure she had encountered halfway, not to mention that she almost lost her life…


    Tang Mingyue’s mind exploded.


    “Those stupid guards, I clearly let them take away the most, most, most, most, most, precious treasures boxes, and now? You’re letting me read these lousy books?”


    Tang Mingyue gritted her teeth in hatred.


    Right now, she wanted to rush over and execute those royal guards by dismembering them to vent her anger.


    Fang Heng’s brows were tightly knitted after hearing what Tang Mingyue said.


    Books?


    Would the Empire’s royal family ce important books in treasure chests?


    Could it be that there was some secret hidden in the book?


    A few thoughts shed in Fang Heng’s mind.


    This was not the time to think about this.


    Fang Heng nodded and looked at Tang Mingyue, “Let’s not talk about this for now. What’s wrong with your eyes?”


    “Meh? Eyes? What eyes? What’s wrong with my eyes?”


    Tang Mingyue didn’t notice the change in her eyes. She was confused and rubbed her eyes.


    Fang Heng frowned, “You don’t feel ufortable anywhere?”


    Tang Mingyue’s face was bitter. “Yes, my heart, my heart is in pain now!”


    “Alright, let’s not worry about this for now.”


    The situation was critical. Since Tang Mingyue didn’t feel any difort, Fang Heng didn’t have time to investigate it. He said in a deep voice, “The enemy ising this way. Their target is the unknown stone.”


    “Ah? A stone?”


    Tang Mingyue turned around and looked at the nine boxes that the cave-dwelling beasts were transporting.


    Trash was trash.


    Tang Mingyue still carried herst hope and packed up the garbage as well.


    What if this trash could be sold for money?


    ...


    Who would have thought that just as they were transporting the goods, the party would encounter the attack of the ckthorn clones?


    At first, Tang Mingyue thought it was just bad luck.


    It turned out that they were chasing after the ck stone!


    “Didn’t you already erase the spiritual imprint on the box? How can it still chase after us? ”


    “Yes, the pursuers are not from the Empire, but the barbarians,” Fang Heng exined. “The spiritual imprint left by the Empire also has the function of sealing aura, and the barbarians may havee here because of the aura of the stone.”


    “This…”


    Tang Mingyue fell into silence.


    She really wanted to ask why the barbarian race was also looking for trouble with them!


    Alright, indeed, she had also sensed that there were strange spiritual fluctuationsing from the inside of the stone.


    She was even angrier!


    The n to steal was already a big loss, and now the barbarians even wanted to rob the remaining treasure chests?


    ...


    “The barbarians’ target is the ck stone. Leave the other materials to the cave-dwelling beasts. We’ll escort the stone away first.”


    Fang Heng quickly made a decision. He raised his head and looked at the ckthorn clone that was being besieged by the yers, asking, “This thing is very troublesome. Do you have a way to deal with it?”


    “Yes, it seems to have the ability to resurrect infinitely. It’s very difficult to deal with.


    Tang Mingyue let out a soft “en” as her gaze shifted to the ckthorn clone.


    Only now did she realize that the ckthorn life form had been sent by the barbarians.


    Just now, she and her party had already bombarded the ckthorn clones with all sorts of elemental spells.


    Her luck wasn’t bad, she managed to kill two of the ckthorn clones.


    But soon, the crystal dust that was scattered around quickly gathered and returned to its original battle posture.


    “Rebirth won’t weaken its various attributes. In most cases, we can only rely on techniques such as imprisonment or sealing to solve this problem.”


    Tang Mingyue was more experienced in the game than Fang Heng. After analyzing for a while, she nodded and continued, “But it’s a coincidence that I don’t know either of these two methods.”


    Fang Heng also kept silent for a moment.


    He did know sealing techniques.


    However, the effect of a low-level sealing technique was really ordinary.


    He needed arge number of zombie clones to stack the number and probability toplete the seal, not to mention that he did not prepare the tools needed to cast the seal in advance.


    This path was not feasible.
