Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

1099 Demonic Seed

“The cave-dwelling beasts couldn’t resist the barbarians, so they asked the humans for help.”

“After negotiation, the cave-dwelling beasts want to return the demonic seed to the human, which is Your Highness Mingyue.”

Everyone listened to Argyll’s explanation and could not help but look at each other.

Demonic seed? What the hell was that?

“Then?” Wei Tao asked.

“The last time we met here, the cave-dwelling beasts had already verified your royal identity. Originally, Your Highness would have gone to the underground world in the Cesar Forest area to retrieve the demonic seed and find a way to completely destroy it.”

Argyll looked at Tang Mingyue carefully as he spoke. “But according to the leader of the cave-dwelling beasts, Your Highness Mingyue’s team encountered an accidental collapse of the underground world’s passage halfway, and they were attacked by the barbarians. After that, Your Highness Mingyue opened the box that sealed the demonic seed for some unknown reason.”

“Now that Your Highness has obtained the demonic seed’s power, it’s very likely that she’ll become a powerful demon. That’s why the cave-dwelling beasts tried to lure us into the underground sealed area where the demon is located. They wanted to use Evil Bones’s power to seal Your Highness Mingyue.”

“Demonic seed? Me?”

Tang Mingyue pointed at the tip of her nose, looking confused. “Are you sure you didn’t translate wrong? Or were they mistaken? When did I get the power of a demonic seed?”

Argyll looked at Tang Mingyue seriously and said, “Your Highness Mingyue, they are very sure that you have obtained the power of the demonic seed. You have just obtained the initial stage of the power, so it may not be obvious. However, the wriggling blood vessels in your eyes are telling signs.”

Everyone looked at Tang Mingyue in unison.

Tang Mingyue’s eyes were not bloodshot, but upon closer inspection, the blood vessels in her eyes were indeed wriggling.

Tang Mingyue’s heart sank when she saw that everyone was looking at her with increasingly strange expressions.

It couldn’t be, right? Could it be that what they had said was true?

Fang Heng didn’t dwell on the matter of whether Tang Mingyue had become a demon or not. He continued to ask, “Alright, what exactly is a demonic seed?”

Argyll seemed to be in a difficult position. He tried to translate, “They can’t explain it clearly. From the information on the murals, the humans and barbarians have obtained great power from the demonic seed. However, power comes with an expensive price. Most people will be lost in the power of the demonic seed and become its puppets.”

Everyone looked at each other again.

According to his explanation, the demonic seed seemed to be a good thing that could increase one’s ability attributes. Tang Mingyue had profited?

Mo Jiawei scratched his head and asked suspiciously, “But that’s not right. The box we found at the beginning of the trial was empty. How could there be a demonic seed? Not to mention the power of the demonic seed. Tang Mingyue also didn’t get the game hint.”

Tang Mingyue echoed, “That’s right! I still don’t have any relevant game hints.”

“The game hint can’t be used as direct evidence. It could also be the difficulty of the mission,” Wei Tao looked at Argyll as he spoke. “Translate it for them. Ask him questions about the empty box.”

After the leader of the cave-dwelling beasts heard Argyll’s question, he started to discuss it with the elders behind him. Then, he told Argyll a lot of things, looking a little excited.

Argyll wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the crowd again, “They said it’s impossible. The demonic seed has been guarded by the clan of cave-dwelling beasts for generations, and the human Saint took a long time to make the box so that he could seal the demonic seed. The cave-dwelling beasts did open the box a long time ago to resolve the crisis but ever since then, no one has touched it again. It can’t be there’s nothing inside.”

Tang Mingyue frowned as she listened.

She felt that the behavior of these cave-dwelling beasts was too real and did not seem to be deceptive at all.

So there must be a problem?

What was the problem?

“Alright.”

There were a lot of doubts, but Fang Heng didn’t care if more doubts appeared. He continued to ask, “I have two questions. First, what is that stone we found behind the water curtain? Second, we saw a mural outside the black box that sealed the demonic seed. What do those murals mean?”

Argyll gestured to communicate with the leader again, then frowned and said, “The murals were drawn by our ancestors. It is said that the ancestors of humans, barbarians, and the cave-dwelling beasts accidentally obtained the power of the demonic seed from a huge rock, but at the same time they obtained the power, they were also cursed.”

“They believe that this terrifying power will cause the destruction of the world, so they unanimously decided to hand the demonic seed over to the cave-dwelling beasts for safekeeping.”

“Later on, there was a crisis in the underground world. In order to deal with the out-of-control abyssal giant scale dragon, some of the cave-dwelling beasts wanted to borrow the power of the demonic seed.”

“The demonic seed was leaked during that period. Fortunately, a human Saint helped to create a seal and an alchemy lifeform underground. It was then that Evil Bones obtained the power of the demonic seed.”

“They don’t know what the black stone you found at the back of the cave is either. They only know that it was passed down by our ancestors, and our ancestors didn’t allow any descendant to approach it.”

After listening to Argyll’s explanation, everyone fell silent again.

Demonic seed… The stone…

Fang Heng muttered to himself in his heart.

Everything was related to the demonic seed, but the box that originally contained the demonic seed was empty.

As he was thinking, Argyll continued, “Fang Heng, the leader of the cave-dwelling beasts said that many barbarians have invaded the underground world recently, causing massive trouble for the underground world. He hopes that we can help defeat the barbarians.”

While Fang Heng and the rest of the players were thinking, a game prompt appeared on their retinas.

[Hint: The player team has triggered the main storyline mission-demonic seed.]

Mission title: Demonic seed.

Mission difficulty: SSS.

Mission requirement: You have reached an agreement with the clan of the cave-dwelling beasts. Please try to find out the truth about the demonic seed and help the cave-dwelling beasts get rid of the demonic seed’s curse.

Mission reward: Substantial increase in the trial rating.

Wei Tao and the others looked at each other and instantly revealed bitter expressions.

An SSS-level mission difficulty…

They had almost been wiped out in the S-level mission. If it weren’t for Fang Heng’s help, they might have already failed and quit the game.

And now, SSS-level?

“Ahem.”

Wei Tao coughed lightly and tried to boost the team’s morale. He said, “This mission is different from the ones we’ve encountered before. We don’t have to solve it through battle. After all, the difficulty of the mission also includes the decryption part. We still have a chance.”

After recognizing the difference between fantasy and reality, Wei Tao’s wording changed from “I can definitely get it” to “We still have a chance.”

Fang Heng shrugged.

He and Tang Mingyue communicated with their eyes crazily.

Good news!

Who cares about the main storyline mission, who cares about the demonic seed!

In short, they had an additional 24 hours of trial time, and they could even find an excuse to slack off!
