While he was thinking, Fang Heng walked into the depths of the container, his eyes wandering among the many holy court artwork in the container.

Found it.

It was it!

There was a huge stone slab in the corner of the container, and it was emitting a faint aura of holy light.

Fang Heng had found it not long ago when he was ransacking the Holy Court’s headquarters.

The prayer of the revelation of the Holy Court was engraved on it.

It was a very rare decorative item. Placing it in the Temple of Zeus could greatly increase the level and experience points of the Temple of Zeus.

The stone slab that was engraved with the prayer was shaped like a cube about three meters long and was very valuable.

It was made of a relatively rare special material that could preserve a magic array. It was rare to see such a large and complete piece.

Since the situation was critical, it was time to use it.

Fang Heng stepped forward and turned the stone slab over, revealing the smooth back of the stone slab.

“It should be enough.”

Fang Heng closed his eyes and visualized the magic array in his mind. After a rough estimation, he took out the special materials needed to engrave the magic array in the warp backpack slot and placed them in the corner of the warehouse.

All done!

“Next, I’ll start drawing the magic array.”

Fang Heng said to himself. Then, he took out a pen and paper and began to draw the magic array on the paper.

After he finished drawing the magic array, Li Shaoqiang rushed back to the temporary camp with the Necromancer Association’s players behind him and shouted Fang Heng’s name.

“Boss Fang! We’re back! Where are you? Boss Fang?”

“Here!”

Fang Heng jumped out of the container and waved to the players.

“Here, help me move it. This stone slab is a bit heavy, and this is the only one. Be careful not to break it.”

Li Shaoqiang took a few deep breaths on the spot and exhaled heavily from his lungs. He nodded and waved to the coolies behind him. “Let’s go and help unload the goods!”

The players who had followed him all the way here did not have the time to catch their breath. They followed him into the warehouse. More than ten players worked together to move the heavy stone slab out of the container.

Li Shaoqiang felt like he had seen a ghost.

He did not know what material this stone slab was made of. How could it be so heavy?

How had this thing been moved into the fallen corridor earlier?

When the other high-tier players who had studied magic array and alchemy saw the stone slab, they looked at each other and cast puzzled gazes at Fang Heng.

They all recognized the special dazzling stone slab that Li Shaoqiang and the others were moving.

It was true that such a large dazzling stone slab was relatively rare, but it was not difficult to obtain it.

To players, once the magic array was engraved on the dazzling stone slab, the magic array could move freely along with the stone slab. There was no need to set up the magic array many times. The bad news was that due to movement, the marks on the magic array were easy to wear and tear. Moreover, inscribing the magic array on the stone slab was even more laborious and required even more materials.

In addition, the stone slab was very heavy and moving it was very troublesome.

The larger the magic array, the greater the impact of the slightest wear and tear. If one was not careful, the entire magic array would explode.

Hence, the practicality of large-scale magic array stone slabs was not high.

A small-scale magic array did not need a slab, so it was more convenient for the player to customize the magic array on the spot.

Hence, the current view of the players in the world was that a magic array slab was a relatively useless thing.

It was indeed very strange that it appeared in this place.

However…

Combining this with Fang Heng’s previous search for an alchemist and an elite player who knew magic array, everyone already had a guess.

One of the players who was proficient in magic array raised his head and asked, “Fang Heng, do you want to carve a magic array on this?”

“Yes.”

Fang Heng nodded.

The players felt even more confused.

Good heavens, the fallen corridor had already reached such a dangerous stage. Could it be that there was still a magic array that could deal with this situation?

The bigger the magic array, the longer the time it would take to set up a high-tier magic array. Now that they were on the brink of fire, did they still have time to make a magic array?

“Brother, this is the layout of the magic array that I spent a lot of effort to get in the game. Time is very tight. Everyone, let’s work together to complete the recording of the magic array. We only have one stone slab. We must not make any mistakes. Please, everyone.”

As Fang Heng spoke, he displayed the magic array on the paper in front of the player.

Regardless of whether the players understood or did not understand the magic array, they all gathered around curiously to watch.

“Huh…”

A few players proficient in magic array inspected the magic array, the confusion on their faces intensifying.

An extremely strange magic array.

Although the difficulty of drawing a magic array wasn’t high, it was extremely complex.

It could only be considered a very difficult low-tier magic array.

Strangely, they had never seen a similar magic array before. There were many patterns on the magic array that they had never seen before.

“Let’s begin.”

“Alright.”

Everyone roughly took a look.

There were no problems with the magic array’s layout that Fang Heng had given them.

The current situation was critical, so it was not the time to ask questions. Most of the players present had been proficient in magic arrays for many years, so it was not difficult for them to memorize the magic array, after memorizing it, they immediately surrounded the stone slab and began to draw it.

The three-meter-long square stone slab could be carved by four people at the same time. If they used up too much mental strength, they would immediately replace the person.

While everyone was focused on carving the magic array, Fang Heng and Li Shaoqiang gave a command. Then, they quietly retreated into the darkness and returned to the game world.

After returning to the game world, Fang Heng immediately entered District 6 of the vampires through the teleportation passage.

The teleportation hall was densely packed with zombie clones.

Atina had been guarding the entrance, waiting for Fang Heng’s arrival.

Not long ago, she had immediately communicated with the Elders Council, Hayez, and immediately began to perform the fusion of the spatial dust and set up a teleportation hole.

“Master, the fusion spatial crystal has been successfully created and can be used at any time. Besides, time is too tight. The Elders Council has chosen to build the teleportation point in the northern barren land. Elder Hayez is leading the vampires to set up a magic array passage in the barren land. It is estimated that it will take about 30 minutes to complete the construction of the magic array.”

“Well done.”

The area of the barren land was sparsely populated. It was also very spacious, which was suitable for the spread of the aura of death.

Fang Heng nodded and waved his hand gently.

A large group of zombie clones squeezed into the teleportation hall and began to enter the barren land through the teleportation passage.

Fang Heng nodded to Atina and said, “Tell them to cut off the connection with District 6 immediately if they run into an uncontrollable crisis. All of them should retreat to District 8. You can do whatever you want while I’m away.”

“Yes, Master.”

Atina nodded and respectfully took her leave.

Fang Heng opened the game log again to check.

It was strange.

It had been a few hours, but Mo Jiawei still hadn’t gone online to reply to his survival radio.

It was very abnormal.

Could it be that something had happened in the real world on his side?
