Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game - C.2234 Cold Winter

Strange.

Fang Heng distinctly remembered the two Wood tribe members saying just that.

The Wood tribe patriarch led a group to the Winter City domain to gather the power of nature.

But what exactly was this Winter City domain?

"Dr. Fang, do you need to investigate the 'Winter City domain'?"

"Hmm," Fang Heng nodded, glancing towards the periphery. "Arrange things here. I'll go in first and take a look. Since we're doing this, let's do it thoroughly, including dealing with the Wood tribe patriarch."

"Alright, please be careful."

Shi Yanwu nodded, gesturing for his subordinates to conceal themselves and fortify the defensive line around the periphery, following Fang Heng's instructions.

There were only six Wood tribe members in the entire temple.

In addition to them, there was the Wood tribe patriarch who was about to be transported back, along with several accompanying tree spirit guards.

If all went well, Fang Heng would make his move during the teleportation process of the tree spirit tribe.

Due to the disruption of the magic array, the strength of the tree spirit tribe would be significantly weakened.

Let's do this!

The soldiers of the Federation held their breaths and focused. They hid around the temple and prepared to fight.

Meanwhile, Fang Heng once again concealed his aura and stealthily approached the central hall of the Temple of Incantation.

Inside the central hall of the temple, the ritual magic array emitted a faint yellow glow.

The six tree spirit members stood at the six corners of the ritual magic array, concentrating on controlling it.

Fifteen minutes had passed since the previous argument.

The good news was that there was no movement outside.

This meant that the Federation's offensive had been temporarily halted.

Just when Tono was starting to get impatient, suddenly, a faint blue light appeared from the magic array.

"It's a signal!"

Vita, seeing this, eyes lit up with joy, whispered, "Everyone, there's a signal coming from the magic array. The elder is back, and they're preparing to initiate reverse teleportation."

"Understood!"

Tono quickly shut his mouth and, along with the others, focused their attention, accelerating their mental strength to inject it into the magic array in preparation for the teleportation.

The collective mental strength was extracted and injected into the magic array.

Under the drive of their mental strength, the magic array entered the second tier and continued to operate!

Huh?

Suddenly, Tono felt something, glancing at the ritual magic array ahead, then turning to look at Vita beside him.

"Vita!"

"I know!"

Vita had already noticed the anomaly in the magic array. At this moment, she stared at it intently, her eyes filled with puzzled expression.

The magic array was indeed still under their control, but strangely, whenever she let her guard down for a moment, the magic array would automatically accelerate.

For some reason, the speed of the automatic operation was increasing, getting faster and faster.

It was as if there were invisible hands manipulating the magic array in secret!

What's going on?!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Right now, she had already gathered everyone's strength to suppress the magic array's acceleration, but the magic array was already somewhat out of control and was still slowly accelerating.

"Vita! What exactly happened?"

Tono panicked.

Why did he have to encounter an accident at this time?

Vita's forehead was covered in a layer of cold sweat as she said, "I don't know. The magic array is fine. Maybe the other end is in trouble. Don't panic. The magic array is still under control. Focus and stabilize it. We can do it."

"Understood!"

The group once again focused their mental strength to control the magic array.

However, it was ineffective!

The magic array's speed continued to increase uncontrollably.

It was like a truck out of control on a highway, still accelerating!

Vita couldn't stop it, so she had to expend even more mental effort to control the direction of the bus's operation and ensure its safe travel, hoping to prevent any issues from arising in the short term.

As the magic array began to operate, a teleportation channel appeared above the hall.

Three figures gradually appeared in the teleportation passage.

They were on the verge of completing the teleportation.

Suddenly, Vita's expression changed drastically!

This was bad! 𝖋𝔯𝔢𝔢𝔴𝖊𝔟𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑.𝔠𝔬𝔪

The magic array began to spin uncontrollably, crazily absorbing their mental strength.

What on earth was happening?!

Vita had always been in charge of controlling the magic array.

It had been so long, but she had never encountered such a thing!

"Hold on a little longer!"

Vita's expression became extremely serious, beads of sweat dripping down her face as she exerted all her strength to slow down the magic array.

But it was simply impossible!

Their mental strength seemed to have no effect on the magic array whatsoever!

It was completely out of control!

The magic array crazily drained their mental strength.

The only good news was that the reverse teleportation was still rapidly condensing.

But how long could it last?

Tono shouted, "Vita!! Think of something quickly!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the magic array had reached its limit!

At the same time, the shadow in the center of the magic array exploded!

"Boom!!!"

The violent explosion sent all six Wood tribe members who were controlling the magic array flying, crashing heavily into the walls of the hall.

Everyone was severely injured without exception.

Vita still didn't know what had happened to the magic array until now, only knowing that there had been an unexpected explosion. She struggled to get up, lifting her head to look at the central magic array.

Three figures appeared in the center of the magic array.

"Elder..."

Vita breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, amidst the misfortune, the reverse teleportation was successful.

Elder Lorenzo and the two accompanying Wood tribe members safely returned through the reverse teleportation, appearing in the center of the magic array.

Fang Heng was hiding behind a stone pillar not far from the entrance of the hall. At this moment, the magic array swirling in his right eye gradually dimmed.

Fang Heng stared intently at the three figures in the center of the magic array.

The Wood tribe patriarch and the other two Wood tribe members who returned through the teleportation passage each held a pale golden jar in their hands.

The jars were about half a meter tall and resembled vases in shape.

Huh?

Jars?

What could be inside them?

Fang Heng's attention was immediately drawn to the three jars, curiosity bubbling within him.

It seemed like there was a connection between their entrance through the teleportation passage and these jars?

His heart pounded with anticipation.

The two accompanying tree spirit members who returned with the elder suffered from a severe backlash. Their bodies went limp, and they collapsed to the ground, causing the jars they were holding to fall with a thud.

Elder Lorenzo had a trickle of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He staggered, barely managing to support himself with one hand as he knelt on one knee. His body trembled slightly as he breathed heavily.

The latter part of the teleportation was affected by intense spatial disturbances.

He and the two accompanying tree spirit members had suffered severe internal injuries.

Fortunately, the sacrificial jars were unharmed.

"Elder!"

"It's nothing serious. Protect the sacrificial jars." Lorenzo raised his hand and signaled the others to protect the golden jar. Then, he looked around and asked, "What's going on?"
