1403 Stones
At the bone graveyard, the battle between the Lickers and the Bones had reached its climax.
The Bones had a huge environmental advantage and could rely on the surrounding white aura to quickly recover. Their themselves also had extremely high close combat skills and their nether bone blades had serious damage output. Their overall combat strength was not low.
On the other hand, the Lickers had inherited Fang Heng’s undying body and some of his attributes.
Both parties’ short-term recovery ability was greater than the other party’s attack ability.
Hence, it was a fifty-fifty chance.
!!At first, they were still on par. Fang Heng used the advantage of numbers in a small area to eliminate the Bones. However, as the number of Bones that appeared in the graveyard increased, the Lickers lost their advantage in numbers, and their killing efficiency became extremely low.
This could not go on. He might not even be able to finish it in one night, let alone before dark.
Fang Heng was protected by layers of zombie clones. He stood inside the bone graveyard, his eyes constantly wandering around, thinking about how to improve his efficiency.
The problem lay in Bones’ rapid self-recovery ability. The Licker’s damage output could not keep up. If he could get rid of this ability of Bones, he would be able to do it.
Fang Heng narrowed his eyes. The Bones were revived by the strange white fog in the cemetery.
So…
Start from the source!
Get rid of the white fog!
Fang Heng lowered his head and looked at his feet.
Where did the white fog that shrouded the bone graveyard come from?
It seemed to have emerged from the bottom of the graveyard.
Fang Heng squatted down and grabbed the soft soil on the ground.
What was down there?
A few zombie clones staggered over and started digging in front of Fang Heng.
After digging a few times, they found something.
Under the black soil, one could vaguely see white marble-like stones.
This stone looked a little strange.
The white aura that was healing the Bones seemed to be coming from the stone.
Stone?
Fang Heng stood up and controlled the zombie clones to work together to dig up the huge stones buried under the ground.
The stone was about the height of a person. It was very dense and heavy.
Four or five zombie clones worked together to move it to Fang Heng.
Fang Heng reached out and touched the stone. It was cold to the touch.
Fang Heng felt a cold aura mixed with the undead aura.
The game notification flashed on his retina.
[Hint: The player has discovered a special item-ancient creature’s bone stone.]
[Item: Ancient creature’s bone stone.]
Type: Special item, construction material, research material.
Description: You have discovered the remains of an ancient giant beast. The remains are buried deep underground. After the baptism of time and the erosion of the power of the dead, the remains have formed a special type of fossil stone. An accidental change in the earth’s vein has caused the Bones to appear on the surface.
Description: This stone can release the aura of the undead. It is a necessary material for the birth of the Bones.
Looking at the game notification, Fang Heng seemed to have realized something. He suddenly understood.
The source of the white fog was the remains of a powerful ancient creature!
The entire bone graveyard existed because of the remains of powerful creatures buried below.
He understood!
Therefore, as long as they could destroy these stones, they could destroy the source of the Bones’ rapid recovery of life force, or even directly destroy the entire bone graveyard!
Settled!
The problem was solved
Fang Heng rubbed his chin.
However, the fossil stone in front of him was very large. Although it was not indestructible, it was extremely hard. It was not easy to completely destroy it.
“Forget it. I’ll just spend more time and let the zombie clones dig it out slowly and crush it.”
With both methods, he could save some time and try to complete the mission today.
Fang Heng was about to control the zombie clones to attack the fossils left behind by the ancient creatures when he suddenly stopped. A thought flashed through his mind.
Wait, something was wrong.
Why did he have to destroy the stone?
Since the game hint mentioned construction materials, it meant that this thing was valuable.
He could also use stones to construct buildings.
Why couldn’t he just move the construction materials away?
Coincidentally, he had just built a lot of corpse pits in his Vampire Apocalypse game world.
Currently, the corpse pit was gradually absorbing the undead aura transformed by the Shrine of Bones to upgrade. After a period of time, the Vampire Apocalypse would gradually be transformed into a world suitable for the undead to live in.
It seemed that the corpse pit and the bone graveyard were very compatible.
If he moved a large number of special stones over, would it be the same as moving the entire bone graveyard over?
In fact, the difficulty of moving a stone was not much higher than destroying a stone completely.
S0 why not get it done in one step?
Just do it!
Thinking of this, Fang Heng immediately gave the order to control the zombie clones to start digging on the spot, digging out the ancient fossil construction materials buried under the bone graveyard.
The zombie clones immediately took action and started digging. Soon, game notifications appeared in Fang Heng’s vision.
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone (vine-modified form) has obtained an ancient creature’s bone stone*1 through excavation.]
[Hint: The player’s zombie clone is moving…]
[Hint: The player’s emergency contact b.u.t.ton has been activated. Please take note.]
Fang Heng was focused on controlling the zombie clones when he suddenly saw a line of game notifications pop up.
Eh? What was going on? Someone offline was contacting him urgently?
Mo Jiawei wouldn’t look for him unless he was in trouble.
Perhaps he had encountered something urgent.
After thinking about it, Fang Heng decided to log out of the game and see what was going on.
…
Mo Jiawei was waiting at the entrance of the game cabin. He was a little anxious.
When Fang Heng walked out of the game cabin, he said impatiently, “Fang Heng, it’s the people from the Federation. They contacted me and said that they met you in Punoze?”
“Yes, I might have been discovered.”
Fang Heng nodded. He did not change his appearance when he entered Punoze, so it was very likely that he would be recognized.
Such a trivial matter would not make Mo Jiawei call him out of the game in such a hurry.
“What’s wrong?”
“Did you just kill a few people at the bone graveyard?”
“You even know about this?”
Mo Jiawei scratched his head and said, “There’s a captain called Zheng Yuping from the Federation’s enforcement team who happened to be leading a team to carry out a mission related to talent upgrading in Punoze. They were the ones who gave the information.”
“The Federation just contacted me through my family connections. They said that they want to cooperate with you regarding the upgrade mission. In addition, they are on their way to the bone graveyard to look for you. They also asked me to tell you that there is a team behind the people you killed. This group of people is already preparing people to come and create trouble for you.”
“I see.”
Fang Heng thought for a moment.
It just so happened that the requirements for completing the talent upgrade mission were too harsh. He had no idea how to complete it. If the people from the Federation were also interested in completing it, they could discuss this together.
