1695 Large-scale Operation
Fanaâs team exchanged glances, their hearts already filled with waves of shock and surprise.
The color of the protective barrier had deepened significantly, indicating a substantial increase in its defensive level.
As the vehicles gradually entered the lakeside area, the entire front line battle came into view.
The fusion Tyrant forms were shouldering heavy energy beam weapons, frantically pulling the triggers to unleash their firepower.
A large number of zombies charged in the first line, locking the mutated monsters that were pouring into the battlefield from the prisms around the island.
So, it appeared that Fang Heng had initiated an attack on the defensive barrier voluntarily?
Amidst their astonishment, Fana couldnât help but feel more puzzled about Fang Hengâs intentions.
What did Fang Heng want to achieve?
Hadnât they already agreed to assist in solving the defensive barrier? Why did he choose to forcibly break through it?
Besides, there were numerous towering altars lining the lakeside.
They were altars that emitted a strange smell of blood.
Vampiresâ altars!
They were spread densely across almost half of the lakeside area.
Seeing this, Fana and her team dared not make any sudden moves, fearing that Fang Heng had a significant plan and not wanting to accidentally disrupt it. They parked their off-road vehicle a distance away.
Fortunately, Fang Heng noticed the arrival of the Black Castle team and waved at them from afar, signaling them to come closer.
For safety reasons, everyone got out of the car and chose to walk the last part of the way.
âFang Heng.â
Fana nodded at Fang Heng and then turned her gaze to the nearby blood-red energy protective barrier, her eyes filled with confusion.
âHmm, I couldnât wait any longer. Since you werenât here, I decided to test the barrierâs strength,â Fang Heng replied.
Test it?
And it turned into this?
Moreover, it seemed that Fang Hengâs summoned creatures were handling this situation effortlessly?
Hearing Fang Hengâs explanation, the Black Castle team behind Fana once again fell into collective silence.
Fang Heng glanced at Fana when she didnât respond immediately and also looked at the red energy defense barrier nearby. He then asked, âWhatâs the maximum level the defensive barrier can reach? At this rate, could it summon higher-level creatures? Like commander-level?â
Fana was momentarily taken aback and turned to look at Fang Heng up and down.
She really wanted to know what Fang Heng was planning with this question.
The limit of the barrierâŠ
They didnât know either!
Usually, in such a situation, shouldnât a normal person consider other ways to breach the barrier? After all, Black Castle had encountered the protective barrier set up by the spawns much earlier than Fang Heng. In situations where attacking the barrier would cause it to level up, Black Castle had chosen not to attack but instead tried other methods to temporarily halt the barrierâs operation.
Even if players were confident in their own abilities and wanted to forcefully break the barrier, they should have continuously attacked the barrier or directly used their most powerful skills to completely blast it open, right?
There wasnât anyone like Fang Heng, though.
He would fight for a while and then take a break, giving the barrier some time to heal itself.
To Fana, it felt as if he was testing the barrierâs limits.
âWorld Lord Fang Heng,â she said, âwe werenât sure about the barrierâs maximum strength, and we didnât recommend testing its limits.â
âYes, I understand.â
Fang Heng listened to what Fana said and thought it was a pity.
It seemed that Black Castleâs understanding of the barrier wasnât sufficient.
So, he would have to personally test the defensive barrierâs limits.
Seeing the regret on Fang Hengâs face, Fana found it even more puzzling. She tried to keep herself calm and continued, âBy the way, World Lord Fang Heng, did you infiltrate the Federation camp last night?â
âYes,â Fang Heng replied while simultaneously controlling the fusion Tyrants to focus their attacks on the elite mutant giant crocodile. âI also set fire to their warehouse and destroyed their space passage. That should delay them for a while.â
It was indeed him!
Getting a definite answer from Fang Hengâs mouth, Fana felt a stir in her heart.
She really wanted to ask Fang Heng how he had accomplished it.
But the words stopped at her lips.
This was Fang Hengâs secret.
The players following alongside Fana also wore serious expressions.
Fana slightly bowed and said, âOn behalf of Black Castle, we thank you for your help. Regardless of the final outcome, we owe you one.â
Fang Heng didnât notice the change in Fanaâs demeanor and casually waved his hand, saying, âItâs not that serious. Itâs just cooperation, lending a hand when needed. By the way, howâs the situation on the Federationâs side now?â
âAfter the repairs, the Federation reestablished a Level 1 spatial teleportation passage three hours ago. We expect it to be restored to Level 4 by tomorrow morning.â
Fang Heng made a light sound of acknowledgment.
This meant that they still had very little time left from the advantage he gained last night.
Fana grew even more concerned about the stranded teamâs situation. She nodded to the members behind her and then asked Fang Heng, âWorld Lord Fang Heng, we havenât been in contact with the stranded team for over four days. The situation is dire. We hope to take action as soon as possible.â
âYes.â
Fang Heng nodded in agreement and then asked, âYou temporarily disrupted the energy defensive barrier through special abilities, right? It wonât cause any damage to the barrier, will it?â
âHuh?â
Fana and the several Black Castle players accompanying her were a bit puzzled when they heard Fang Heng. Why did he seem concerned about the defensive barrier?
âAhem,â Fang Heng noticed Fanaâs strange expression and cleared his throat, explaining, âWhat I mean is, youâve only temporarily made the barrier malfunction, and it will recover after you leave, right?â
âIndeed, with our current abilities, we canât make the barrier disappear directly.â
âThatâs good, then.â
Fang Heng thought to himself, feeling relieved. He was still planning to rely on the defensive barrierâs power to continue leveling up later. Everything else was secondary. The limit of the barrier had not been tested yet. What if it could spawn commander-level monsters?
âHmm?â Fana blinked and stared at Fang Heng. She wondered if she had misheard him.
âWhat did you say?â
âNothing,â Fang Heng waved his hand and continued controlling his zombie clones to deal with the remaining mutated form monsters.
Unaware of Fang Hengâs thoughts, Fana continued, âWorld Lord Fang Heng, we still need some time to set up spatial fluctuation disruption devices to shield the defensive barrierâs influence. Itâs estimated to take two hours. What do you think?â
âNo problem, go ahead and start. Please do it as quickly as possible,â Fang Heng said, nodding. He then raised his hand toward the distant water surface.
A black mutant crystal suddenly flew into Fang Hengâs hand and melded into an imprint on his palm.
