Chapter 2727 Shelving
Chapter 2727 Shelving
"We had also considered entering Amrit to stir up some chaos in the Holy Court, but after weighing the risks, we decided to temporarily put the plan on hold."
"The fact that the Holy Court managed to maintain Amrit's security despite the attacks from various major factions means they still have the ability to protect themselves. We even suspect the Holy Court might have some hidden schemes."
"Additionally, we lack the capability for a large-scale assault on Amrit."
Fang Heng and Ji Xiaobo exchanged a glance.
Ji Xiaobo was immediately intrigued and nodded repeatedly at Fang Heng.
It seemed like a perfect opportunity for them to cause trouble!
There was some unknown trouble in the Holy Realm, and many worlds in the lower realm were already overwhelmed by the Dark Clan forces Fang Heng had sent out.
Amrit was also being heavily attacked by various hostile factions.
It was the perfect time for them to take advantage of the situation!
Once they entered Amrit, they wouldn't need to confront the Holy Court directly; they could just hide in the back and secretly set up a magic array.
They would gather the entire world's dimensional energy like that.
Then, they would make a quick getaway!
Heh!
Holy Court! You had your day!
Excited by the prospect, Ji Xiaobo let out a silly laugh, "Hehe."
Fang Heng felt that things weren't so simple and asked, "I'm more concerned about the Shadow Alliance. Do we have any news about them? Do we know who controls the organization?"
"We're still unclear. We've investigated, but there's no information yet. However, it's said that their strength is immense."
Tang Chuji thought for a moment and added, "I've heard that their organization completed the ritual yesterday, and they're launching a large-scale operation today. We could time it perfectly if we head there now."
As they spoke, a necromancy player approached them and handed three teleportation scrolls to Tang Chuji.
"Thanks."
Tang Chuji checked the scrolls and said, "These are two-way teleportation scrolls. After being used for one round trip, they automatically disappear. There's no cooldown time. We got them from the Shadow Alliance; they've been circulating widely outside."
Fang Heng was surprised and couldn't help but look down at the scroll again.
The scrolls were fine.
But what exactly was the Shadow Alliance?
A few scrolls might not be too concerning, but if they were being distributed on a large scale, it would be difficult to acquire them.
Tang Chuji asked, "Fang Heng, should we leave now?"
"Alright, let's go."
...
With a flicker of spatial fluctuation, Fang Heng arrived in Amrit through the teleportation scroll.
[Hint: The player has entered an advanced game world-Amrit.]
[Hint: The player is currently affected by an unknown force... Due to the player's sacred study, the player is immune to this negative effect.]
[Hint: The player has entered this world through an invasion ritual, and will face hostility from the local factions. Please proceed with caution.]
As the white light before him gradually faded, Fang Heng quickly scanned his surroundings.
It seemed like he was in the back alley of a city, surrounded by small, low-rise houses.
Tang Chuji took out a map from her backpack, looked around at the distinctive billboards and the architectural styles of the buildings, compared them to her location, and nodded, "We're in luck. This is Ka City, which is far from the main city controlled by the Holy Court. It's a good spot for us to set up a magic array to absorb dimensional strength."
"Alright, let's find an open area."
Unlike the Black Rain World, Amrit didn't have a death realm passage, so the Dark Clan mercenaries couldn't come here to assist them.
They would have to rely on zombie clones for combat.
Fang Heng quickly calculated in his mind.
There shouldn't be any major issues. As long as they set up the magic array properly, everything would go smoothly.
If all went well, they could finish the battle within three hours
The three of them made a decision and immediately headed towards the city square.
Soon, Fang Heng realized that the city they were in was eerily quiet.
It was so quiet that it felt somewhat unnerving.
There were very few people on the streets, and the few they did encounter were hurriedly walking, glancing at them from a distance before quickly fleeing.
Even the number of vehicles on the streets was almost nonexistent.
Ji Xiaobo noticed something and pointed ahead. "Brother Fang, look at that."
On the large external advertising screen of a tower in the square, the same news report was scrolling.
"The central city of the Holy Court is under attack by unidentified creatures. The authorities are urging citizens to avoid the Holy City area, return home immediately, and stay inside as much as possible."
It seemed that ordinary people had also been affected by the ongoing conflict between the Holy Court and various hostile factions.
Fang Heng pondered silently.
Wait...
The large flying creature captured in the news footage...
Fang Heng squinted his eyes.
Griffins?
Fang Heng took a step forward and walked toward the intersection in the street. He stopped in the middle of the crosswalk and began to form a seal with his hands in front of him.
Fang Heng withdrew his gaze.
That's fine.
Since the citizens were all staying indoors, it would make his actions even easier.
Fang Heng took a step forward and walked toward the intersection in the street. He stopped in the middle of the crosswalk and began to form a seal with his hands in front of him.
"Wall of Bones!"
"Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!!"
The earth shook violently!
Dozens of white "Wall of Bones" barriers rose rapidly from the ground, quickly surrounding and sealing off the intersection in the street.
"Keep watch for me."
Fang Heng nodded to Ji Xiaobo and Tang Chuji, then began setting up the magic array in place.
Ji Xiaobo and Tang Chuji stepped outside the bone barriers to keep watch.
Suddenly, several meters of white bones emerged in the center of the city's main avenue. The indigenous inhabitants of this world, having never seen such a terrifying and eerie sight, immediately fled as far as they could.
Under normal circumstances, this would have caused quite a commotion.
However, due to the martial law, it was eerily quiet.
This allowed Fang Heng to concentrate and form his magic array without disturbance.
Hmm?
Just as Fang Heng crouched down to complete the first step of the magic array, he paused, his brow furrowing.
"Strange."
He murmured, suddenly feeling an unusual force interfering with the magic array.
The magic array's fluctuations were abnormal.
What was going on?
In the next second, a game prompt quickly flashed across his retina.
[Hint: The player is in a special world environment. The magic array the player is attempting to set up is affected by a special force and is predicted to be ineffective.]
[Hint: The player can still proceed with the magic array setup, but there is over a 99% chance it will not work once completed. Please be aware.]
Interesting.
This was the first time Fang Heng had encountered a magic array for absorbing dimensional energy that couldn't take effect.
He unconsciously furrowed his brow.
Was it the Holy Court's special defenses against this world?
Or was it because there was something wrong with the world itself?
After a brief thought, Fang Heng once again formed a seal with his hands in front of him and deactivated the Wall of Bones.
Ji Xiaobo and Tang Chuji saw the bone barriers retract and couldn't help but glance at Fang Heng, questioning him.
"Mr. Fang? Why did you stop?"
"This world is a bit odd. The magic array can't take effect. The hint says I'm being interfered with by some force."
