Chapter 2995: TreasureEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Strange.
After completely absorbing the energy, there were no signs of any other passages.
Was the stone pillar really just for a trial?
Fang Heng didn't think too much about it and left the area, continuing to explore forward.
Just after leaving the open forest area, another familiar maze passage appeared ahead. On the icy surface of the maze, two ice crystal puppets began to condense.
Whoosh!
Fang Heng's figure turned into a black shadow.
Bang! Bang bang!!
The two ice crystal puppets were shattered by Fang Heng before they had fully formed!
The overflowing elemental energy was quickly absorbed by Fang Heng.
No time to waste!
Fang Heng sped up, wandering through the maze in the direction of the Seed of Ouroboros' signal.
Hmm?
After wandering for more than ten minutes, Fang Heng slowed his pace and stopped at a fork in the maze.
To the left was a path leading to a somewhat familiar ice crystal hall trial area, while the other fork led to a long and narrow maze corridor.
Looking into the ice crystal hall, a group of natural-element creatures could already be seen.
Another natural-element trial?
Fang Heng couldn't help but stop, gently clenched his fists, and swallowed hard.
D*mn it! Still couldn't resist the temptation.
He was already here anyway.
The natural-element energy was right in front of him!
Might as well do another sweep before leaving!
Without further hesitation, Fang Heng stepped quickly into the ice crystal square trial area.
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!!!"
As soon as he entered the trial zone, a flurry of frost leaves flew toward him.
"Thunder of Judgment!"
"Boom! Boom boom boom boom!!!!"
Meanwhile, the various federal teams that had entered the Land of Enlightenment also began to take action one after another.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, the Central Federation and several regional federal teams split up to explore the maze.
Soon, the players also encountered all kinds of creatures and fell into difficulties.
Somewhere in the maze.
The Central Federation had dispatched a team of over seven hundred people for this operation, but they were scattered across different areas upon entering the maze.
Roa was the Head Captain in charge of this operation from the Central Federation.
Before entering the Land of Enlightenment's maze, he already had doubts about the mission.
What was certain was that the Central Federation had prior knowledge of the general layout of the ice crystal maze — they even had a marked location for the Enlightenment treasure.
But something was odd.
If the superiors had given a directive to seize the treasure at all costs, then why invite all the other Federations to participate in the treasure hunt mission, and even open the mission to the general public players?
Wouldn't it have been better to take action secretly and claim the treasure for themselves?
Once the team was assembled, Roa, concerned about others getting there first, immediately led a squad of dozens toward the marked treasure location.
Along the way, the team was attacked by ice-type creatures.
Roa chose not to entangle with the ice element creatures. He quickly used spells and firearms to suppress them, then passed through rapidly.
He also completely ignored the various trial stone pillar areas encountered along the way, heading straight for the treasure location.
They had to get to the Enlightenment treasure before any other team!
"It's just ahead."
In just half an hour, the Central Federation elite team regrouped several dispersed squads along the way, forming a team of over a hundred, and stopped in front of an ice barrier.
"Yes, this should be the place."
Roa compared the map's marked location, walked slowly forward, and pressed his hand against the ice barrier wall in front.
That's right — the ice wall was very thin.
It was added later!
Roa said in a deep voice, "Break it open!"
Several elite players stepped forward, summoning the Book of Elements before them.
Skill-Flame Jet.
Several streams of deep red flame spewed out from the Book of Elements in front of more than a dozen players, gathering and bombarding the ice barrier.
Under the fire spell's assault, the ice barrier gradually melted away.
After a moment, an opening dissolved in the ice barrier.
The moment the entrance was breached, a visible white frost burst out from within.
"The Enlightenment treasure is inside the cavern. Everyone, be cautious and prepare for battle. We'll scout ahead; the rest of you follow in stages."
Roa signaled the team to get ready as he and a group of Federation elites carefully stepped into the cavern.
Huh?
What's that?
Upon entering the cavern and seeing its interior, the players' faces all turned serious.
In the center of the cavern hall stood a stone pillar.
Coiled around the stone pillar was a twisted, squirming, viscous mass.
Like a monster, its body resembled a lump of meat paste, winding and twisting around the stone pillar. Rotten flesh continuously fell from the column, turning into a pile of decayed meat on the ground.
Everyone's expression grew grave as they looked at each other.
Was this grotesque thing the so-called Enlightenment treasure?
What the hell was it!?
If one looked closely, beneath the layers of rotting flesh, a decaying human face could gradually be seen.
A human?
Roa narrowed his eyes and gestured for the team to keep their distance.
This thing was extremely strange. Better observe the situation first before deciding anything.
"Archbishop, do you recognize this thing?"
Since the Western District Federation's Star Map Project had run into trouble, the Central Federation had grown closer to the Holy Court.
The Holy Court also accepted the Central Federation's invitation for this mission and sent a sharp elite team led personally by Archbishop Whiteman.
"Everyone, be cautious. I sense an evil aura from it."
Archbishop Whiteman stepped out from the crowd, his face serious.
But even he had never seen such a bizarre and horrifying creature, and could only warn everyone to act carefully.
Roa returned to the center of the team and had a brief conversation with a few invited experts and headquarters officials.
They couldn't wait any longer.
Any more delay, and another player team might find this place.
Roa nodded at one of his trusted subordinates.
"Let's test it."
The subordinate immediately pulled out a small-caliber pistol from his waist and aimed at the humanoid pillar.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three bullets hit the decayed flesh on the pillar, bursting into three splashes of black blood.
The strange substance merely lost a surface layer of decayed flesh.
It didn't appear to have suffered any real damage.
Should they try something more intense?
While the players were still puzzled, one who specialized in alchemy magic arrays suddenly said, "Everyone, look — don't those five stone platforms in the corners of the hall look like they form a sealing magic array?"
Everyone turned to look at the structures placed around them.
It was indeed so.
There was a headless statue of a god in each corner of the hall, each standing before a sacrificial platform.
When they first entered the hall, they thought it was just an ordinary decoration.
Now, upon closer inspection, it really did resemble a sealing magic array.
"Is it sealing the Enlightenment treasure?"
"Not sure."
Several players who specialized in alchemy magic arrays stepped forward to examine it and then looked up.
"Confirmed. It is some sort of sealing magic array, and the seal is still active."
