Chapter 2424 Walking Corpse


    Fang Heng tried to twist his stiff arm.


    His coordination was much better than it had been as a skeleton, but he still couldn''t speak, only emitting low, guttural growls.


    He scanned his surroundings.


    His vision remained as blurry as before, with the entire world covered in a thick mosaic.


    He could vaguely make out that he was inside a stone chamber, with coffins lined up vertically along the walls.


    He had just emerged from one of those coffins.


    Nearby, two simr zombie creatures approached him, transmitting a mental link.


    It was indeed Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo.


    "Mr. Fang, how''s it going?"


    Li Shaoqiang asked enthusiastically.


    He felt that this was a great opportunity to advance his necromancy skills. Compared to the various missions he had undertaken in the past, this one seemed particrly easy and enjoyable!


    "Since we''re here, we might as well make the most of it."


    Following Mr. Fang, who knew his stuff, he might even reach the master level in necromancy!


    Tan Shuo, on the other hand, was moreposed. After surveying the surroundings, he said, "It looks like this is a mausoleum stone chamber. The intruders must have crossed the outer ck Sand Bone Grounds and entered the mausoleum''s inner region. The current mission will be carried out within the mausoleum." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "Mm."


    Fang Heng nodded slightly.


    Inside the stone chamber, coffins lined along the walls continued to explode, with arge number of zombies emerging from the shattered coffins, moving towards the passage leading out of the stone chamber.


    "Let''s go. We''ll follow the zombies and see where they''re heading."


    Fang Heng nodded to the two of them and started walking towards the exit to explore.


    The entire mausoleum was shrouded in a faint ck mist.


    The undead faction''s scouting team had already suffered some losses while crossing the outer ck Sand Bone Grounds.


    After a brief rest, they began their exploration of the mausoleum''s interior.


    ...


    At the entrance on the other side of the mausoleum, Ji Xiaobo, protected by a group of personnel, slowly advanced along the passage.


    This was not his first time here. Almost every previous attempt at exploring the mausoleum had cost him dearly.


    The mausoleum was riddled with passages, secret tunnels, and traps. A single misstep could lead to getting teleported to unknown locations, causing one to lose their way in the passages.


    Given his ownck of strength, Ji Xiaobo would inevitably be unable to withstand the attacks of the mausoleum''s guards without the protection of hispanions.


    At this moment, he even thought it would be great if Mo Jiawei could be here with him.


    "Xiaobo, stay close and don''t get lost in the passages like before," came amanding voice.


    "Yes."


    Ji Xiaobo responded with a drawn-out tone, nodding and following closely.


    In the rear, after the first and second batches of high-ranking undead faction members had entered the passage, Feudal Lord Dani joined the third team to enter the mausoleum passage.


    "Instructor, is the Empress buried within the mausoleum?"


    "Yes." The instructor pondered for a moment before replying, "ording to the information tranted from the periphery, the Empress is indeed buried here. However, over the years, we have only roamed the outer and middleyers of the mausoleum and have never ventured into the core domain."


    "Even so, the gains within the mausoleum will benefit us immensely."


    The instructor paused for a moment, then continued, "In thest two undead council meetings, the central elders found the mausoleum of Empress Persephone''s steed, which has yet to be explored. This time, the high-ranking undead faction members will likely return for further exploration."


    "We won''t follow them," the instructor added. "We''ll look for a smaller mausoleum to explore. It''s easy to get lost in the ck fog, so just stick close to me."


    Feudal Lord Dani nodded lightly, ncing ahead at the area shrouded in a thinyer of ck fog. Her face showed a hint of contemtion as she responded, "Understood, Instructor."


    In truth, Feudal Lord Dani had doubts.


    The Empress of the realm of death... Persephone...


    Dead?


    Wasn''t that a bit far-fetched?


    Meanwhile, Fang Heng, Li Shaoqiang, and Tan Shuo surged into the passage along with arge number of reanimated corpses.


    Unlike the ck Sand Bone Grounds outside, the mausoleum''s terrain was much more confined. The invaders found it difficult to gather inrge groups, and with the numerous traps and mechanisms within the mausoleum, they were often separated into smaller teams.


    This seemed to make them easier to handle.


    Of course, Fang Heng and his team decided to target the isted and weaker opponents.


    However, the reality was different.


    During their passage through the ck Sand Bone Grounds, they had already eliminated a number of the weaker, solitary targets. In the mausoleum, the invaders were organized into small teams, making it harder to find isted individuals.


    "Mr. Fang! There are soft targets up ahead on the right!"


    Hearing this, Fang Heng looked forward and saw a group of five invaders trapped in the middle of the road by the encroaching zombies. They were desperately trying to force their way through, attempting to break open a path.


    From the blue me aura surrounding them, their strength seemed rtively weak.


    An opportunity!


    Fang Heng thought to himself, sending a mentalmunication to Tan Shuo and Li Shaoqiang, "Let''s move together. I''ll engage them head-on; you two nk them from behind. Let''s take them out!"


    "Got it!"


    The team quickly split up to execute the n.


    Fang Heng rushed down the passage, aiming to block the invaders'' advance and cut off their escape route.


    "Bone spear!!"


    The five necromancy mages, having strayed too far from their main force during their exploration, were now surrounded by the swarm of zombies. They had no choice but to force their way forward, hoping to find a way out.


    The three mages in front used bone spears repeatedly, conjuring and thrusting bone spears to pierce through the zombies and clear a path. The two mages in the rear dealt with the zombies pursuing them from behind.


    While the bone spear was an elementary spell, high-tier necromancy mages wielded it with great efficiency—its power was high, its uracy precise, and it was quickly conjured with minimal cost.


    One attack could pierce through a mausoleum guard zombie!


    Wait?


    The necromancy mages soon realized something was off.


    A zombie emerging from the crowd seemed unusually difficult to target, dodging several bone spear attacks.


    "That zombie is problematic!"


    "Take it out first!"


    Upon hearing this, the other two necromancy mages quickly coordinated, directing their bone spear spells toward Fang Heng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!


    Amid the chaotic battle, a particrly elusive zombie emerged from the horde, proving difficult to hit. Several bone spear projectiles had been dodged by this zombie.


    "That zombie is problematic!"


    "Deal with it first!"


    Upon hearing themand, the other two necromancy mages quickly coordinated and released bone spears aimed at Fang Heng.


    Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!!!


    Multiple bone spears flew toward Fang Heng.


    "Bang!!!"


    What the hell!


    The three necromancy mages were momentarily stunned.


    The bone spears had been effortlessly deflected by the zombie, which wielded a bone de, causing the projectiles to explode in mid-air.


    The necromancy mages caught off guard, saw the zombie rapidly closing the distance between them.


    "It''s amander-level zombie! Be careful!"


    One of the mages shouted, raising his scepter in front of him.


    "Take him down!"


    Bone spears pierced through the air once more.


    A sh of wrath appeared in the necromancy mage''s eyes.
