National Games: Hang up from the zombie apocalypse

Chapter 3720 Pure Black Pearl

"It's related to a mission I received. I saw a black orb in a vision, and then I managed to find some clues through astrology. I accidentally discovered that you had a clue about the black orb."

A Black Fortress member behind Charlene frowned and took a step forward as if he wanted to say something, but Charlene stopped him by raising her hand.

"No need to say anything more, I believe him."

Charlene looked at Fang Heng, nodded gently, and said, "Fang Heng, to be honest, our Black Fortress entered the Abyss to replicate the ancient magic circle because we were guided by the game. We received an urgent game mission that required us to protect the Pure Black Orb."

Fang Heng's heart stirred.

Protect the pure black orb?

Who would harm the Pure Black Orb?

Recalling what Kandar had said earlier, a thought suddenly arose in Fang Heng's mind.

No way?

Could they be a race of gods?

After considering for a moment, Charlene said, "There is a powerful race that has always been interested in the Pure Black Orb. Recently, they have been searching for its whereabouts with all their might. The protective power provided by the game is gradually dissipating under their erosion, and I'm afraid it won't last long."

"In order to prevent the other side from taking away the Pure Black Orb, the game prompted us to come to the depths of the abyss to find an ancient magic circle. We wanted to use the power of the magic circle to cover the Pure Black Orb, which led to our mission to go deep into the abyss."

Fang Heng asked, "The enemy you're talking about is the race of gods?"

“I didn’t expect you to have come into contact with the God Clan. Yes, it’s them.” Charlene’s eyes were full of apprehension. “The God Clan has extremely strong talents, and every member is an extremely terrifying existence. I once fought against a member of the God Clan and was seriously injured. It took me a long time to recover.”

It really was them!

Fang Heng pressed further, "Where is the pure black pearl?"

"In a separate, dark game world, we can normally enter that game world through the Tower of Black Mist."

As Charlene spoke, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. "Unfortunately, we are now trapped here. The power of the Black Mist Tower has been greatly suppressed. At present, we can only wait for the power of the Black Mist Tower to slowly accumulate in order to open the game teleportation channel. At the current speed, it will probably take about half a month."

"Now I'm more worried about the Gods. According to the game's calculations, there are only 16 days left until the Gods discover the Pure Black Orb."

Everyone in Blackburg fell silent.

This mission was incredibly unlucky.

Not only were they trapped here, but they also made no progress in their research on the alchemical magic circle.

Even after half a month, when they escaped using the power of the Black Mist Tower, a quick calculation showed that they would soon have to face the Gods head-on.

It's simply impossible to complete the task in such a short time!

Charlene looked up at Fang Heng, her voice tinged with apology, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect to drag you into this mess as well."

"It's alright, I came here voluntarily, and besides, I've long been at odds with the God race."

Fang Heng waved his hand, but a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart.

The gods are also searching for the Pure Black Orb.

Fortunately, he got there first.

If the Pure Black Pearl is taken by the Gods, it will be extremely difficult to take it back from them.

We must stop the race of gods.

However, he was also very curious.

Which special world does the pure black orb correspond to?

Fang Heng asked, "Is there anything unusual about the world where the Pure Black Pearl is located?"

"abnormal?"

Charlene frowned, somewhat puzzled by Fang Heng's question, and said, "No, the Pure Black Orb is in a high-level game world. There are extremely high-level monsters in the world, as well as towering black mist towers. The whole world is filled with dense black mist. If you have to say something strange, there are no humans or high-level intelligent creatures living there."

Fang Heng sensed something was off, so he shifted his gaze to the Black Mist Tower beside him and asked in a different phrasing: "Did you also obtain the method for summoning your Black Mist Tower from a questline?"

"That's right. From the very beginning, Black Castle has been tasked with guarding the Pure Black Orb. Each successive lord of Black Castle will accept a questline and will only be recognized by the game after completing the quest. At the same time, they will also gain the means to summon the Tower of Black Mist."

Where does it lead?

"Where? In the game world, of course."

Charlene felt even more confused by Fang Heng's question.

In her understanding, the Tower of Black Mist is the passage connecting the real world and the game world.

Um! ?

Fang Heng's pupils contracted sharply upon hearing this.

The real world?

What do you mean?

According to his original guess, Ymir, the creator of the game, wanted to create a completely simulated game world based on the operating rules of the current world.

Ymir extracted power from several special primordial worlds and then transformed it into orbs, which would gradually create a special game world.

In theory, each game world created by a gem corresponds to a unique original world.

Then, going a step further, the simulated world will gradually replace the original world.

So, does entering the real world through the pure black orb mean that...?

Ordinary world?

Fang Heng was momentarily confused.

When everyone saw Fang Heng deep in thought, they all fell silent.

Five minutes passed before Feng Tiya whispered, "Fang Heng, are you alright?"

Fang Heng was interrupted from his thoughts. He looked up and said, "It's nothing."

Forget it.

If you can't figure it out, just put it aside for now. Maybe you'll understand everything once you find the pure black orb.

"Anyway, let's figure out how to get out of here first. I want to see the pure black orb first."

Fana, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly had an idea and asked, "Fang Heng, do you have a way to get us out of here?"

"Yes, I think it should save you a lot of time."

As Fang Heng spoke, he walked to the edge of an open space and quickly formed a hand seal in front of him.

"Hiss, hiss..."

Large, illusory magic arrays immediately appeared on the ground surrounding Fang Heng.

what! ?

Charlene stared intently at the magic circle that appeared on the ground, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

The game features a summoning magic circle in the Black Mist Tower!

wrong!

The Black Mist Tower summoned by Fang Heng was somewhat different from the one she summoned.

Charlene stared intently at the magic circles that had formed on the ground around Fang Heng.

As the magic circle slowly rotated, the black mist from the game gradually overflowed from it.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat upon seeing this.

The black mist emanating from the magic circle was exactly the same as the mist emanating from the Black Mist Tower summoned by Sharon, completely merging together.

Fang Heng directly summoned a vast number of magic circles on the open ground, far exceeding the number summoned by Shalin. Therefore, the black mist condensed more than ten times faster than Shalin's two magic circles alone. (End of Chapter)
