Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1117 Runestone

“Good stuff!”

Revere’s eyes lit up as he glanced at the rune in Ed’s hand.

Humans had always been good at infighting.

With the runestone, they could easily invade the interior of the Land of Plague.

Ed heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the rune was working.

He had bought the rune crystal from the Tianli Mercenary Group during the day, and it had taken him a lot of effort.

The heavenly dawn mercenary group relied on the power of the rune crystals to transport supplies to and from the Land of Plague.

This time, Ed bought a total of three pieces, spending a total of 500,000 Empire bunis.

This amount of money was enough to buy more than 20 high-level spell scrolls.

The entire player guild’s income for more than half a year.

It would be a lie to say that he didn’t feel heartache.

However, Ed knew that this investment was necessary.

Once his plan succeeded, he would be able to obtain a magic core from the ghost tower, and that would be a huge profit!

He would take this gamble!

Ed nodded at the players behind him.

The players stepped forward and entered the path that the vines had cleared, pouring the kerosene they had brought with them on the layers of vines and roots.

The forest was very quiet, and the players poured kerosene on it.

It seemed that they had already treated everyone as their teammates under the effect of the talisman.

After pouring more than half of the kerosene on them, the players retreated again.

“Fireball!”

Ed raised his scepter and threw a fireball at the forest ahead.

The fireball hit the root that protruded from the ground.

BOOM!!

The kerosene was instantly ignited.

The area in front of them was immediately engulfed in a sea of flames!

The two mage players raised their staffs at the same time. “Strong wind, strike!”

The wind-type spell pushed the flames deeper into the forest!

Under the effect of the oil and wind-type spells, the sea of fire quickly spread into the forest!

Under the burning of the flames, the trees and vines let out a weak squeak, gradually turning black, charred, and burned to ashes.

Ed stood still and looked into the distance.

“BOOM! Boom Boom Boom!!”

A moment later, a violent explosion resounded through the sky.

It was a success!

Hearing the explosion, a smile appeared on Ed’s face.

The explosion came from the depths of the forest.

Following the violent explosion, a cloud of thick smoke rose from the distance.

Looking up, the giant tree that covered the sky had already been engulfed in flames!

The fire lit up the sky!

Hehe…

Seeing this, Revere laughed coldly in his heart.

Almonta was truly an inflexible fool.

The giant forest’s sacred tree did look very dangerous at first glance.

But now?

Wouldn’t the problem be solved by burning it directly?

“Let’s go!”

Revere raised his battle axe and led the team into the forest.

Ed nodded and led the players to follow.

Fire was very effective against such flammable vines and trees.

In addition, he had also bribed several of the Tianli mercenaries to send carriages of high explosives and embers into the Land of Plague, deliberately dumping them around the tree of God.

Of course, the Tianli Mercenary Group would have to pay extra for these tasks.

Two hundred thousand Bunis.

There was no room for negotiation.

The good news was that it seemed like everything was worth it!

His plan was exceptionally successful!

...

Ed glanced at his backpack.

He still had five high-tier fire magic scrolls that he could save for later.

As long as they cleared the forest blocking their way, they would leave the rest to the barbarians.

According to the deal with the barbarians, as long as they could break into the Land of Plague, they could get the magic core and everything would belong to the barbarians.

…

Hani City.

Lord Brent was in an exceptionally good mood today.

He personally hosted a banquet in the city’s tallest Tianfu Pavilion Restaurant to entertain the feudal lords.

The banquet was filled with singing and dancing.

The feudal lords raised their glasses in celebration.

Everything that had happened during the day made them feel like they had made a huge profit!

...

After the territory had a mage tower, it would be able to attract mages to join and improve the territory’s power. There would also be an annual income, and after upgrading the mage tower, it would also have the ability to teleport.

Most importantly, these mage towers did not require any maintenance fees!

After the tour, many feudal lords returned to their own territories.

However, there were still many feudal lords who had nothing to do.

After learning that Fang Heng would be completing the ghost tower in two days, they were not in a hurry. They planned to stay in Hani City for two days and play. When the time came, they would go and see the situation after the ghost tower was completed.

Slightly tipsy, Lord Brent suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet shake.

Then, there was a commotion outside.

Lord Brent frowned and shouted towards the door, “What’s going on? Why is it so noisy?”

A feudal lord’s guard pushed the door open and reported, “My Lord, there’s a fire outside.”

Was it on fire?

Lord Blout immediately sobered up from the alcohol.

“Where’s the fire?”

“My Lord, please be at ease. It’s not in Hani City, but in the forest far away.”

The forest?

It didn’t matter, he couldn’t burn it all.

Lord Brent was still thinking, when he saw the sword saint beside him, Chepo, stand up.

With a solemn expression, Chepo walked to the window and looked from a distance.

“What’s wrong, Chepo?”

“I’m afraid the Land of Plague is in trouble,” Chepo said in a deep voice.

“Ah?”

Lord Brent didn’t understand for a moment.

He couldn’t help but stand up and walk to Chepo’s side to look out the window.

Lord Brent saw a large red cloud in the distance reflected by the flames.

“That place is …”

“Hmm, judging from the location, the fire is in the direction of the Land of Plague.

Lord Brent was shocked.

He immediately thought of the forest he saw during the day.

The large areas of the forest along the way to the village had almost been cleared.

Other than the Land of Plague, where else could there be such a big fire and such a big movement?

Brent suddenly became anxious and shouted, “Hurry up! Everyone, let’s go put out the fire together!”

“My Lord, it’s getting late, and it’s very dangerous to move at night. We’ll need an hour to get there.”

“Don’t talk nonsense! I’ll go now!”

“Yes!”

“Also, have the City Lord go with us! Send the army over to support! Immediately! Now!”

The other feudal lords were also anxious, and they quickly called for the accompanying guards to go to the rescue.

Motherf*cker!

The Land of Plague! That was the ghost tower they had invested in!

There were many high-level materials, including magic cores, and even Fang Heng was left in the Land of Plague…

If something were to happen …

He didn’t dare to think about it!

The feudal lords who stayed in the city immediately ordered their men to prepare their warhorses and rushed to the plague area.

…

In the Land of Plague, above the half-completed ghost tower, Fang Heng looked into the distance.

A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes as he watched the team of players approach the ghost tower.
