Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

The barbarians were panicking as they retreated in the direction of Ed and the others, shouting for help as they ran.

Behind them, there was a dense number of sharp spikes and vines that extended from the ground!

How could this be?

Ed was a little confused.

Had the sacred tree become so powerful?

Annihilate the entire barbarian team in just a few minutes?

"F*ck!"

"Don't let them come over! Stop them!"

Ed realized something was wrong.

The fleeing barbarians would most likely attract the hatred of the sacred tree!

The players around Ed had dark expressions.

He said it so easily, but he wanted them to stop the barbarians?

Was this a joke?

"Intense, dragon breath!"

Faced with the barbarians who were charging toward the back of the team, Ed took out the highest-grade fire-type magic scroll from his backpack and threw it forward.

"Roar!!!"

The dragon's roar was heard!

A stream of materialized flames blasted toward the barbarian race.

In an instant, the barbarians and the vines were submerged in the sea of fire!

The flames quickly spread in all directions!

"Crack Crack..."

The burning vines and the painful howls of the barbarians came from the fire.

The players gathered around and threw spells into the sea of fire. After a round of spells, everyone looked at the burning sea of fire and fell into a moment of silence.

Ed was also standing in the same spot. After using the super-advanced magic scroll, he had also entered the backlash state, so he was temporarily unable to move or attack.

He stared at the flames in front of him as they slowly spread toward him.

"F*ck!!!"

Ed's pupils contracted.

Almost instantly, dozens of twisted vine thorns pierced out of the sea of fire!

In the blink of an eye, the spikes were only five centimeters away from his forehead.

"Creak creak creak..."

The vine's thorns made a faint sound.

Did they stop?

Ed stared at the thorns. He could feel his own heavy heartbeat. Cold sweat trickled down his face. He thought of something and took out the runestone, slowly extending it forward.

"Chi Chi Chi..."

After a few seconds of stalemate, the thorns seemed to have confirmed something and retreated back into the sea of fire.

Hu...

Ed heaved a huge sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat off his face. He felt exhausted after surviving a disaster.

"Go! Retreat."

"Hurry, let's go."

Even the barbarians were annihilated!

They didn't even last more than ten minutes!

That was a team of over a hundred demonized barbarians!

The player groups were shocked and no longer had the mood to continue fighting, so they followed Ed and retreated.

Right now, they were only glad that the ones guarding the ghost tower were all slow-moving zombies, and were unable to catch up to them.

Ed's eyes flickered with fear.

He had failed!

Those damned barbarians!

He said that as long as he could bring them into the Land of Plague, he would leave everything to them...

Just this?

Ed tightly held the rune crystal that he had obtained from Ma Xiaowan's Tianli Mercenary group as he ran forward.

"Chi Chi Chi..."

The vines in front of him opened up a straight path.

It was too late for Ed to regret it.

He only felt lucky.

He was extremely glad that he had spent 500,000 Empire Buni to buy these three runestones.

Otherwise...

Even a team of more than a hundred demonized barbarians had been completely annihilated in this forest.

What could the players do?

In the distance, above the ghost tower, looking down at the scene that looked like hell, Ma Xiaowan took a deep breath.

A terrifying disaster.

She had witnessed with her own eyes how the barbarians had been exterminated.

After the barbarians were dragged into the vines, they completely disappeared and became the nourishment for the giant tree.

Seeing the group of barbarians running away in a panic, Ma Xiaowan frowned and asked, "Lord Fang Heng, are we not going to chase? Are we just going to let them leave like this?"

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded his head, "It's okay. Let them go."

In the beginning, Fang Heng had also thought of cutting the weeds and eliminating the roots.

However, after careful consideration, he realized that he was currently on a trial mission. Blindly killing players might cause changes to the trial.

It would not be worth it if their time in the trial game was suddenly deducted.

To be safe, it was better to spare their lives. Besides, he had other uses for them.

Fang Heng rubbed his shoulder gently and waved his hand in the distance.

The mutation crystals dropped after killing the demonized barbarians all merged into the mark on the back of his hand.

[Hint: Player has obtained Tier 2 mutation crystals*12.]

"Let's go," Fang Heng nodded and said to Ma Xiaowan, "Follow me to take a look."

...

Outside the Land of Plague, after learning that the Land of Plague was on fire, Lord Brent led the other two feudal lords' guard regiments to quickly provide support in the direction of the sacred tree.

They were the first batch, and more guards were coming from behind.

Along the way, the feudal lords were burning with anxiety, urging the team to speed up.

When they arrived at the outskirts of the Land of Plague, Lord Brent and his men stopped in their tracks.

About ten minutes ago, the fire had gradually died down halfway.

Unlike during the day, the giant tree in the middle of the vine forest emitted a faint green light at night.

Layers of vines and roots blocked their way.

The fire seemed to have stopped.

So they were too late?

What to do? Should they go in? How could they enter?

The mercenary group was at a loss.

Suddenly, the vines and roots in front of them began to shrink.

A passage that led to the inner part of the Land of Plague gradually spread out in front of everyone.

Immediately after that, the sound of hurried running and breathing came from inside the path.

Ed's team jogged along and gradually appeared in front of Lord Brent's group.

After experiencing such a terrifying scene, Ed's team, who were frantically running for their lives, finally managed to escape the area covered by the giant tree's vines. Then, they saw Lord Brent's group outside the door.

The two sides faced each other. There was a moment of silence.

This was bad!

Ed's mind went blank.

He was caught on the spot!

The two feudal lords who had come along with Lord Brent felt that it was strange.

Why would Ed and his men be here?

Moreover, he seemed to be in a hurry, as if he had just experienced a great battle. Why was he in such a panic?

Lord Brent was equally puzzled and asked, "Ed? What are you guys doing here?"

Ed was stunned, and several thoughts flashed through his mind.

Eh?

Could it be that the feudal lords still did not know about his attack on the ghost tower?

That's right!

The feudal lords did not know anything. They only came here to investigate after seeing the fire.

It was just a coincidence!

Ed composed himself and immediately replied, "Your Lordship, we saw that the Land of Plague was on fire and wanted to come to help, but we didn't expect the vines in the forest to become unstable after being stimulated by the fire. We were attacked by the vines controlled by the giant tree halfway, so we ran out."
