Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Chapter 2428  New Skin

As the mission prompt suddenly appeared, the expressions of the three of them changed simultaneously.

Death God!?

What was that?

It didn't seem to be a bloodline but rather a special title or a distinct branch of necromancy like necromancer mages or undead warriors and knights.

The Death Knight sat high upon the throne, looking down upon them with a commanding presence.

"What are you waiting for? Prove your will. Accept the power of Empress Persephone and drive out those invaders!"

As he spoke, the Death Knight lightly tapped his long sword.

Buzz!

Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

This time, he saw an invisible wave of force crashing directly towards him.

Bang!

Their wills were forcefully shoved into the passageway door behind them.

...

Death Realm

Empress Persephone's Mausoleum

In a middle layer stone chamber, the stone statues of the mausoleum guards and priests, aligned along the walls, began to tremble.

Fragments of stone from the statues fell away, revealing the mausoleum guards and priests within, gradually coming back to life.

"What is this..."

Fang Heng opened his eyes once again, finding himself back in Empress Persephone's mausoleum.

"Fang Heng?"

Fang Heng sensed the presence of mental energy and turned to look.

Li Shaoqiang and Tan Shuo had also returned to consciousness, inhabiting the revived mausoleum guards and priests.

"Fang Heng, this body..."

"Yeah."

Fang Heng responded with a soft acknowledgment.

"Yeah."

Fang Heng responded with a soft acknowledgment.

He could feel the difference. The control of these revived guardians was unlike when he had controlled undead bones and zombies before. Perhaps due to the inherent strength of the mausoleum guards and priests, their physical attributes like strength and agility were fully unlocked.

Moreover, there was now access to previously unattainable psychic force and perception abilities.

There was no need to exert much effort to locate the invaders. The enhanced perception ability clearly marked the positions of the invaders around them.

Impressive!

If before they could only pick on soft targets, Li Shaoqiang now felt ready to confront the invaders head-on.

And with the added benefit of unlimited rebirth after death...

It was practically invincible!

Tan Shuo remained cautious, communicating through mental strength: "What exactly did the Death Knight mean by 'Death God' advancement? Have you ever heard of it?"

"Never heard of it. It seems like some kind of necromancy branch."

"Don't dawdle, both of you. The mission has a time limit," Li Shaoqiang said, seeing their discussion drifting further. He quickly redirected the topic, urging them on, "It might be a hidden class within the undead faction. Let's finish the mission first, and we'll figure it out later."

"Alright, let's complete the mission and see what happens."

Given the current situation and the inability to contact the outside world for more information, there was no use dwelling on it. They decided to take things one step at a time.

The group immediately left the stone chamber and entered the passage leading deeper into the mausoleum.

...

In the middle area of the mausoleum, Ji Xiaobo felt fortunate. He had managed to avoid several traps and remained close to the main undead faction team, moving into the middle area of the mausoleum.

The real challenge was about to begin.

For thousands of years, the exploration of Empress Persephone's mausoleum had only reached this stage for the undead faction.

"Be careful, they're coming."

In the team, two central elders sensed something. They positioned themselves at the front of the group, focusing intently ahead, and raised their scepters high.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dark energy was drawn in and swiftly gathered towards the center.

Swish! Swish swish swish!

The dark aura quickly condensed into numerous dark-colored projectiles, which shot forward like cannonballs into the passage ahead.

Boom! Boom boom!

The projectiles hit the shadows in the passage, exploding upon impact.

Ji Xiaobo swallowed cautiously and peered ahead.

In the passage, amidst the black aura from the explosions, several figures continued to advance toward them slowly.

These figures wore eerie dark gold masks.

They were the mausoleum's guardian priests.

In life, they had been Empress Persephone's personal guards.

Their strength was formidable!

The dense dark projectiles exploded in front of the guardians, barely affecting their shields and only slightly slowing their movement.

"Chi, chi, chi..."

In the middle area of the mausoleum, the dark projectiles exploded, forming a grey mist. Dark shadows rose from the ground, ensnaring the mausoleum's guardian priests once again, rendering them immobile.

Given the current environment within the mausoleum, dealing with enemies of the same undead type proved challenging. Ordinary undead spells were ineffective, and with their powers greatly diminished due to their entry into the death realm, even the two necromancy mages at god-level found themselves restricted to mere control.

"Keep up!"

The team immediately used various skeletal skills to focus their attacks on the controlled guardian priests.

"Boom! Boom boom!!!"

Dense bone spears rained down on the guardian priests, continuously exploding and depleting their dark shields.

Ji Xiaobo also threw a few bone spears forward.

Fortunately, the guardian priests lacked intelligence and could be worn down by such straightforward tactics. Otherwise, they might have been unable to complete the exploration of the middle area of the mausoleum.

Ji Xiaobo thought to himself, enduring the situation, and continued to blend in with the team.

Unnoticed by the team, in the far distance at the end of the passage, Fang Heng observed them intently through his perception.

Li Shaoqiang asked, "How's it looking?"

"Hm, they're quite tough to handle," Fang Heng replied, shaking his head. "This group is very strong; we might not be able to take them down."

Tan Shuo suggested, "The mission requires reducing the invader count to 50. Why don't we leave this group for now, deal with the remaining invaders, and weaken their overall strength?"

"Yes, I think that's a good idea," Fang Heng agreed. "Most of the invaders are still in the upper areas of the mausoleum. We can head up, lower the number of invaders, and also use the remaining guardian priests to exhaust their mental strength."

"Alright, let's do that! Mr. Fang, you lead the way."

The three had noticed that while the guardian priests in their current state had unlocked perception and mental abilities, the strength they could exert varied. For example, Fang Heng's perception covered a greater area compared to theirs.

While they could perceive only up to a hundred meters around them, Fang Heng could even sense the situation in the upper areas of the mausoleum.

"Let's go." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The three of them navigated around the mausoleum's passage, avoiding the main undead faction team, and soon returned to the upper area of the mausoleum, where they quickly located their mission target.

"There, two stragglers."

Li Shaoqiang's face lit up with excitement upon hearing this. He communicated through mental strength, "Hehe, let's see how strong our new form is."
