Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game-Chapter 2453 - Ambush
2453 Ambush
Fang Heng looked again and saw that the strength of the Holy Realm knights outside the fortress had been almost entirely exhausted.
Knight Commander Walter was gasping heavily, still leading his subordinates in a desperate attempt to break through a blood-soaked path and escape.
However, the sheer number of Lickers was overwhelming.
There were simply too many to kill!
Walter could only feel his strength gradually waning.
It seemed that death was just a matter of time…
And yet, he hadn’t even seen a shadow of Fang Heng!
Walter was unwilling to accept this fate.
“Whoosh!”
Fang Heng’s form twisted rapidly in the air, shifting into the Death God form, and surged towards the battlefield.
The Death God’s scythe!
Under the enhancement of the blink skill, the scythe cut through the air, leaving dark streaks of light.
Fang Heng swiftly harvested the lives of the Holy Realm knight legion, continuously gaining experience points through his death realm summoning skill.
Hornlow watched with astonishment as the Holy Realm knights fell one by one in the center of the battlefield.
So, it was the Death God…
Had Fang Heng also transformed into the Death God?
Was the appearance of the Frostbone Dragon also related to him?
…
Half an hour later.
In the Frost Hell Cavern, as Karolina and her team ventured deeper into the shady line caverns, the air around them grew increasingly cold and piercing.
The outer defense shield continued to emit the sizzling sounds of ice crystals shattering.
At a distance, Fang Heng watched them from the shadows of a dark cavern.
Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo followed closely behind, but they remained in their Death God forms.
The ice imprint could counteract much of the shady line environment’s effects, but as they neared the depths, even they began to struggle.
Then, they were pleasantly surprised to discover that in the Death God form, they were completely immune to the freezing effects!
A pleasant surprise!
“Mr. Fang, their progress is slowing down. Have they noticed something?” Li Shaoqiang asked.
“Indeed, the Holy Realm’s people are very cautious.”
Fang Heng nodded in agreement and said, “I’ll find a way to lure them further into the source of the shady line. You two stay here and don’t follow me. Once the battle starts, move in at the right moment.”
“No problem, leave it to us.”
Li Shaoqiang responded confidently, his gaze falling greedily on the team of Purifiers and Holy Realm knights ahead.
After all, it’s about following Fang Heng’s lead to rack up the KPIs!
It’s simple!
Thus, encountering a good direct superior in a company was crucial.
Tan Shuo nodded and said, “Mr. Fang, the Holy Realm’s perception is quite strong, so be careful.”
“Understood.”
Fang Heng nodded and quickly maneuvered ahead.
Karolina’s team continued to cautiously advance, still unaware that the Holy Realm knights stationed in the Frost Fortress had been completely wiped out by Fang Heng.
With the assistance of the warm sun gemstone, their team was not significantly affected.
However, the Ice Bones creatures that emerged around them caused some trouble, though these were minor issues.
The main concern was that they had not yet found any trace of Fang Heng.
Doubt began to creep into the minds of the team members.
“Sir, we haven’t found any trace of Fang Heng. Is it possible he’s already left?” one of the Purifiers suggested.
“Yes, that’s a possibility,” Karolina replied, her lips pressed together in thought, harboring her own suspicions.
Another Purifier added, “Considering the time, Walter should have secured all the entrances to the Frost Fortress. Fang Heng couldn’t have escaped.”
The team’s assessment of Fang Heng’s strength was still based on their knowledge from two months ago, and no one had anticipated that Fang Heng had managed to annihilate the entire team occupying the Frost Fortress.
Even someone as cautious as Karolina hadn’t considered this possibility!
As the team’s pace slowed, Karolina looked ahead into the depths.
The further they went, the denser the shady line aura became.
They all felt immense pressure. Could Fang Heng withstand it?
It seemed more likely that Fang Heng was circling them within Frost Hell.
If that were the case, it would be troublesome.
Karolina’s mind sank with concern, and she couldn’t think of a better plan at the moment.
“Let’s proceed a bit further.”
“Yes, ma’am!”
At that moment, the team suddenly detected an anomaly.
“Be careful! It’s the Lickers!”
With a swift motion, the Lickers surged from the depths of the shady line, charging directly at Karolina’s team.
Here they came!
It was indeed the Lickers controlled by Fang Heng!
The Holy Realm team sensed the gravity of the situation. It appeared their intelligence was correct—Fang Heng was indeed hiding deep within the shady line.
The Purifiers swiftly initiated their counterattack. They invoked the Book of Creation, unleashing divine light beams that struck the Lickers with precision, sending them flying.
Karolina’s face grew tense.
Just as the rumors outside had suggested, the Lickers controlled by Fang Heng were extremely difficult to deal with—stronger than she had anticipated, at least twice as powerful!
Was it due to the demonic seed’s influence?
Despite their ongoing battle, the Holy Court team was still in peak condition. They continued to drive the incoming waves of Lickers back, repeatedly knocking them away.
The frontline Holy Realm knights used their runic long swords to limit the Lickers’ vitality recovery. The Purifiers used their binding skills to trap the Lickers in mid-air, sealing their strength before killing them.
Combined with continuous holy purification effects, the Lickers’ life recovery ability was effectively suppressed.
Fang Heng observed from the shadows, noting the effectiveness of the countermeasures against his Lickers. While the undead and powerful attributes still had some impact, they were no longer invincible.
Furthermore, the Holy Realm team was well-prepared, with skills specifically designed to counter the Lickers.
Therefore, he needed to use the terrain to weaken them further.
Fang Heng retreated into the shadows, quickly moving to a new position.
After a wave of attacks, the Lickers began retreating towards the rear of Frost Hell.
“Sir Karolina, did you see that figure?” one of the team members asked.
“Yes,” Karolina replied with a nod. “It must be Fang Heng. Be cautious, and let’s continue the pursuit!”
The Holy Realm had invested significant effort to enter Punoze to find Fang Heng, and now that they were this close, they would not give up easily.
Karolina was extremely cautious.
The team maintained their pace, carefully clearing the ice bone leader ahead before moving forward. They stopped again shortly after.
Karolina looked up at a narrow cave ahead.
Visible to the naked eye, the cold aura mixed with the shady line’s chilling aura emanated from the cave. The biting cold clashed continuously against their divine holy shield, creating a constant series of impacts.
A rift in the shady line?
In front of the rift stood a solitary figure.
As they approached, Karolina tried to make out the figure’s face.
“It’s Fang Heng!” she declared.
Fang Heng gazed coldly at Karolina and her team and slowly raised his hand.
