Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2629  Cast Some Spells

”Those are?”

A mentor looked toward the group of Lickers gathered not far away.

It was quite strange.

In the distance, towering black stone pillars stood at the periphery of the camp.

The stone pillars could roughly be divided into two types: the large ones, over twenty meters tall, and the smaller ones, usually around two meters high and wider.

The Lickers gathered there, forming large clusters, circling each of the upright stone pillars.

”Hmm, those are special structures—Ethereal Stone Pillars—that we commissioned from the Dark Clan,” one of the mentors explained. ”Under the influence of the death realm, the Ethereal Stone Pillars can attract and generate high-tier creatures—Ethereal Statues.”

”The Ethereal Statues are a bit different from regular undead creatures. Typically, they wonʼt actively awaken to attack enemies; they remain in a state within the black stone pillars. When attacked, they can absorb the enemyʼs strength, gradually enhancing themselves. Once theyʼve absorbed enough power, the Ethereal Statue will revive and gain some of the enemyʼs abilities.”

This creature, after its initial formation, could not move and was extremely heavy, making it difficult to lift and transport directly from the ground. As a result, it was hard to utilize it effectively on the battlefield..

The undead mentors fell into confusion.

They noticed that the zombie clones seemed to be doing something around the Ethereal Statues.

Casting some sort of spell?

Moreover, it appeared that the success rate of these spells was very low.

They almost never had any real effect.

”This is Kotal from the Dark Clan,” Ji Xiaobo said, introducing him to the three mentors. ”He will represent the Dark Clan and provide us with assistance. In return, we will offer the Dark Clan the help they need.”

Kotal walked over and bowed respectfully to the three undead council mentors.

The three mentors immediately returned the gesture.

”Gentlemen, I was invited to assist you in expanding the magic array. I have already conducted some initial research. Your magic array has a significant issue, which I believe is because ordinary humans like yourselves cannot withstand the high-intensity aura of the death realm. As a result, a large portion of the teleportation magic arrayʼs strength has been restricted. Additionally, the materials used to construct the magic array are somewhat crude. These aspects can be modified and expanded, and I have written them down.”

As he spoke, Kotal handed over his notebook to the three mentors.

”Thank you so much!”

The mentor in charge of constructing the teleportation passage took the notebook and began to flip through it. A look of excitement appeared in their eyes.

This was a great find!

The Dark Clan had a much deeper understanding of the death realm. With their proposed modifications, the teleportation passageʼs abilities would see a significant boost!

Fang Hengʼs impact on them had been huge!

They had gone around for a long time, gathering some materials, and when they returned, they found that Fang Heng had already connected all the dots and arranged everything for them.

The undead mentors flipped through the notebook, one page after another, and their shock grew as they read.

Suddenly, they realized that if they could truly modify the magic array as Kotal suggested, they might even be able to use the teleportation passage to directly enter the death realm in physical form!

The instructor was so excited that his hands trembled slightly. He looked up and confirmed with Kotal, ”What was said earlier, that by using several special materials, the strength of the passage in the teleportation magic array can be greatly enhanced, even reaching the strength of physical transmission? Is that correct?”

”Yes.”

Kotal found the expressions on the humansʼ faces strange.

Hadnʼt Fang Heng and his group already figured out how to achieve physical teleportation?

What was there to be so surprised about?

It was them who seemed odd.

They were still using the low-level transmission method of soul projection for teleportation.

”Once again, thank you. As for the materials...”

The instructors felt that achieving the highest-tier construction of the teleportation magic array was still a very difficult task.

Not to mention, the construction materials for the teleportation passage recorded in the book were all translated into simple terms by the Dark Clan, and they couldnʼt understand them at all.

”Thereʼs no need to worry about the materials. Commander Tigranth has already agreed to urgently provide us with a supply of materials, which are currently on the way. If everything goes smoothly, they should arrive by the time the Dark Moon rises. The undead Bone Dragon, being requisitioned as a strategic creature for the war, cannot assist in transporting the materials. My apologies.”

”No problem.”

The Dark Moon was a time unit used in the death realm, where thick white fog perpetually shrouded the land, and one could only vaguely perceive the presence of the Dark Moon. Normally, the Dark Clan would measure time by the rise of the Dark Moon, which occurred roughly every 30 hours, equivalent to a day in the death realm.

The three undead mentors huddled together and calculated.

There were just over 10 hours left before the next Dark Moon would rise, so they had to hurry and set up the other side of the magic array passage.

They hadnʼt expected Fang Heng to be moving so quickly.

Compared to their own pace, it made the undead council seem quite incompetent...

For a moment, the mentors felt a bit embarrassed.

Well, the projection state couldnʼt fully demonstrate their strength. Once the teleportation passage was fully activated, the full power of the undead faction would be revealed.

When that time came, the undead council would ensure Fang Heng didnʼt underestimate them. Theyʼd have to show off their strength and surprise him.

As they thought about it, one of the mentors looked around and asked, ”By the way, is Fang Heng not here yet?”

Ji Xiaobo answered, ”Brother Fang still has other matters to attend to. He just left. Before he left, he specifically asked me to stay and assist you with the construction of the magic array. The materials for the first-tier magic array expansion are already prepared. We can start at any time.”

”Alright.”

The three undead mentors nodded and moved to the side of the teleportation passage magic array. Together, they began to condense magical imprints in front of them and cast the undead construction spell.

”Buzz...”

With the activation of their mental strength, dark light quickly enveloped the magic array.

Meanwhile, Fang Heng had already returned to the Icebound Valley, riding the Bone Dragon.

As soon as he landed, several red notifications flashed across his retinas in the game.

[Hint: The player has assisted in upgrading the death realm teleportation magic array to Level 3.]

[Hint: The player has earned 6,000 mission points for completing the task (Communication with the Death Realm).]

[Hint: The player has received assistance from the Dark Clan. The undead councilʼs death realm teleportation magic arrayʼs maximum level cap has been surpassed. The new max level can be upgraded to Level 8.]

[Hint: Due to breaking through the limitations, the player has received an additional 40,000 mission points for the task (Communication with the Death Realm), and the player has gained 1,000,000 reputation with the undead council.]

[Hint: The player has enhanced the death realmʼs teleportation passage. The mission score has been increased, and subsequent missions may change.]

[Hint: Your zombie clone failed to use the sealing technique (Target: Ethereal Statue). Your high-tier sealing art skill has gained 80 experience points.]

”Not bad...”

Fang Heng quickly glanced through the mission description.

It seemed like things were going well on Ji Xiaoboʼs side. The undead council mentors had completed the third-tier teleportation passage.

Now, more mentors would be able to arrive in the death realm, significantly speeding up the construction of the passage.
