Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2738  Catching All of Them

Qiu Xiaoling immediately leaned in curiously, observing for a few moments before asking, "Does this have something to do with the special trial left by the Holy Court?"

"It's very likely," Bai Mu replied, eyeing the stone in Fang Heng's hand. "I've heard that there's a direct passage to the Holy Realm inside the cavern. If we can open the trial advancement passage, we might be able to enter the Holy Realm directly."

Abulati smacked his lips and said, "That would be great. It would save us the trouble of going all the way to the Mist Temple."

Nearby, Wu Yan smiled and nodded, "Since we don't have all the answers, why don't we ask someone from the Holy Court?"

Bai Mu glanced at him and nodded, "Exactly what I was thinking."

Fang Heng and Qiu Xiaoling exchanged confused looks, "What? What are you all talking about?"

Bai Mu glanced at him and nodded. "Exactly what I was thinking."

Fang Heng and Qiu Xiaoling exchanged confused looks. "What? What are you all talking about?"

Bai Mu continued, "We'll explain from the beginning. You've probably already seen that there are many Elemental Guards outside the Mist Temple. While we aren't afraid of them, if the demonic seed's aura leaks out, it will affect our future actions."

"After hearing that there's also an entrance to the Mist Temple in the cavern, we turned our attention here. Hiding inside the cavern makes it easier for us to conceal our identities and act."

"But after arriving here, we found that the cavern isn't as simple as we thought. There's a special force that confuses perception, and we couldn't find the entrance to the Mist Temple after searching for a long time."

"So we changed our plan. On one hand, we continue looking for the entrance to the Mist Temple, and on the other, we try to break open a new way up from here."

Fang Heng understood.

"But now that Greed has arrived, it seems like we have a third, better option."

Wu Yan looked at Fang Heng and added, "We might be able to figure out how to open the passage in the trial cavern that leads to the Holy Realm, and go directly there."

Suddenly, Fang Heng's retina displayed a game hint.

[Hint: The player has triggered a special ring mission-Proceed to the Holy Realm.]

Mission name: Proceed to the Holy Realm.

Mission difficulty: SSS.

Mission description: While exploring the Mist Temple trial cavern, you encounter an old friend. You learn that something significant may be happening in the Holy Realm, and your companions plan to investigate. You can choose to join them and explore the Holy Realm.

Mission requirements: Help Bai Mu and his group find the passage to the Holy Realm.

Mission reward: Coordinates to the Holy Realm.

Fang Heng's mind stirred.

The reward was the coordinates to the Holy Realm?

Getting the coordinates would mean he had a permanent ticket to enter the Holy Realm!

Now, this mission was one that he couldn't pass up.

Fang Heng gently licked his lips, "Tell me your action plan."

"During our previous exploration, we encountered an elite team from the Holy Court," Abulati continued. "Their strength was formidable. I had to use the power of the demonic seed to temporarily suppress and drive them back."

"We confirmed that they've discovered us, and to avoid leaking information, we immediately pursued them. Right now, they are hiding in a cavern area, which we've surrounded."

"The cavern has a powerful defense mechanism. If we break through forcefully, the resulting ripple might cause the entire grotto to collapse."

"So, we haven't chosen to attack head-on yet."

Bai Mu said, "This team is still trapped, and their condition isn't good. This is a potential opening for us."

Fang Heng looked at everyone and asked, "So, you want me to give it a try?"

"Exactly. Your disguise abilities are excellent. You can easily pretend to be from the Holy Court," Qiu Xiaoling said, her playful side showing as she jumped down from the rock. "We'll support you and put on a show, but don't mess it up."

"Heh, interesting," Fang Heng said, shaking his arm and stretching his muscles. "Coincidentally, I also enjoy acting."

...

The cavern.

Inside the Mist Temple, Argyle and his group huddled within a sheltering cavern.

The captain of the Glory Knights, Argyle, leaned against the wall, cold sweat dripping continuously down his face.

Two priests from the team were trying their best to cast healing spells on Argyle.

Despite their efforts, blood continued to seep from the wound on his right shoulder.

Upon closer inspection, black tendrils of flesh had begun to grow and spread from the wound.

"No need to try anymore," Argyle said, his lips turning pale as he gritted his teeth, enduring the excruciating pain in his shoulder. He gestured to stop the priests. "Treat them instead."

The people from earlier...

They were demonic seeds!

And not just one.

With the power of a demonic seed, they could easily destroy the Mist Temple.

Yet, they were blending in with the Shadow Alliance's group.

They must have a bigger plan!

Argyle clenched his teeth, enduring the agonizing pain in his shoulder.

He needed to send this message to the Holy Realm as soon as possible!

"My lord," two Holy Court guards approached with a report. "We've checked, and the exits outside are all occupied by the Shadow Alliance. We haven't seen any traces of the demonic seeds, but they must be hiding among the group. They're trying to trap us here."

Everyone turned to look at Argyle.

Argyle knew that their team was gravely injured from fighting the demonic seeds. Trying to run outside would mean certain death, but staying here...

The sheltering cavern had been constructed for the trial, and it contained powerful holy energy. The demonic seeds outside might hesitate to break through.

Staying here was safe for now.

But Argyle knew this was just buying time, and that time was being wasted.

Think, think!

There must be a way!

Stay calm!

Argyle's fists clenched, his knuckles cracking with tension.

Just as he was pondering, suddenly, several holy light waves burst from outside the cavern.

What?!

Reinforcements?!

"Go! Let's check it out!"

Argyle led his group quickly to gather inside the sheltering cavern, only to see a vast wave of holy light sweep over the area outside.

"Boom!!!"

Fang Heng, wielding a massive holy sword, cut through the Shadow Alliance forces outside with powerful slashes.

Who was that?

Argyle's heart stirred.

The person's strength was immense!

And the massive sword they wielded was definitely not a normal weapon!

A holy artifact?!

"Boom!!!"

With a powerful ripple spreading outward, a group of Shadow Alliance members was sent flying backward by the holy light.

"Captain! It's our people!"

Two of the guards cried out in excitement.

The Shadow Alliance forces outside had been thrown into disarray.

Now, if they launched a counterattack, they could finish off the Shadow Alliance forces once and for all, with internal and external forces working together!

The guards eagerly looked up at Captain Argyle.

This was their best chance to break out!

"Wait."

Argyle furrowed his brow, his sharp senses picking up on a hint of something suspicious.

Where were the demonic seeds?

Why haven't the ones they encountered earlier shown up?

That's it!

It must be the demonic seeds' plot!

The demonic seeds deliberately lured the Holy Court person here, in order to attract the attention of their team, and use this opportunity to draw them out of the sheltering cavern!

Then, they would wipe them all out!

D*mn demonic seeds!
