Chapter 2587  Trying

"Though it would be very difficult, it wasn't impossible. There had been successes in the past. The power of the undead Bone Dragon was immense, and if a soul contract could be successfully established, it would significantly enhance personal strength."

"The Bone Dragon's power ripples overshadowed most of the Empress's will, so others wouldn't notice that her will still resided within the mountains."

Fang Heng gave a slight hum in response.

"Do you know what the situation inside the mountains is? Have you ever ventured in to investigate?"

Sirius shook his head and sighed deeply. "As you can see, ever since the Empress's mausoleum exploded, my will suffered severe damage, and my strength diminished greatly. I tried to find my way here, but every attempt to enter the mountains has failed; the Bone Dragon treats anyone who steps into its domain as an invader."

"Do you see that faint line?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng looked where Sirius pointed.

A dark red line appeared on the ground, stretching endlessly in both directions, completely dividing the area.

"Once we cross that line, the Bone Dragon will attack us."

[Hint: The player's mission target changed: Find the Empress's will.]

Mission target description: Gathering the Empress's will can effectively slow the decay of the ice crystal core in the sea of consciousness. Players should attempt to traverse the Bone Dragon's domain to locate the ice crystal core.

Fang Heng glanced at the newly generated mission hint.

Then, the stone slab in his hand began to heat up again.

In the undead council, the instructors watched intently as Fang Heng's actions were live-streamed.

Although they couldn't hear a single word from the mirrored projection, the discoveries made in just over an hour surpassed all the information they had gathered about the death realm over the past few centuries!

What a significant revelation!

The mere discovery of the undead Bone Dragon was enough for the higher-ups in the undead council to study it for a long time.

"Fang Heng, we've urgently gathered and reviewed some relevant data. You are currently in the Dragon Grave Mountain range, which is recorded in the Empress's ancient texts. The Empress's former mount was obtained from this area. The Frostbone Dragon was once the strongest Bone Dragon in the mountains and has since evolved by merging with Empress Persephone's ice power," one of the council members explained.

"According to our premonition, the ordinary Bone Dragon's strength was comparable to the edge of demigod level. If it were in the death realm, its actual combat strength could absolutely reach demigod level!"

"Be careful!"

The higher-ups of the undead council couldn't clearly hear Fang Heng's conversation and had no idea what he was planning. They simply felt that he was fortunate to have stumbled upon the Dragon Grave Mountain and to witness the legendary Bone Dragon firsthand.

For a moment, the council members didn't know what to say, so they just issued a warning: "Be careful," and continued to observe.

Fang Heng glanced at the stone slab, pondered for a moment, and then his gaze focused again on a large area ahead.

"Demigod level..."

Fang Heng couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked deeper into the Dragon Grave Mountain range.

It wasn't necessarily unbeatable.

If he unleashed all his abilities, he could definitely handle it.

The problem was that his big move had a long cooldown time.

Dealing with a single Bone Dragon wasn't an issue, but what if a swarm of them came at him?

That would be overwhelming.

As the undead Bone Dragons gathered, the unique pressure of the dragon clan caused a special distortion in the space around the Dragon Grave Mountains.

His secondary space projection ability was significantly weakened.

While he could forcefully use the ability to enter the mountains, he would face substantial repercussions and wouldn't be able to maintain the projection state long enough to reach the summit, let alone make a round trip.

What to do?

Fang Heng rubbed his chin in thought and began rummaging through his backpack, searching for useful items.

Wait!

He almost forgot about that!

A sudden spark of realization hit him.

The skeleton summoning skill!

This was the summoning skill he had obtained earlier in the Watts world.

Unlike ordinary summoning skills, the skeleton summoning skill could only be used on skeletal creatures, forcibly establishing a soul contract with them!

In the past, he had relied on this skill to gather many high-tier undead bone leaders as his subordinates.

As time passed, the strength of the enemies Fang Heng encountered increased significantly, making the undead bone leaders seem increasingly cumbersome on the battlefield.

They were nowhere near as useful as his zombie clones.

Additionally, since those bone leaders were expendable, Fang Heng felt it was a waste to lose any of them.

Over time, the Ice Bones leaders were cast aside.

But the Bone Dragon was also a skeletal creature!

This meant he could use the summoning skill to control the Bone Dragon!

Fang Heng's eyes narrowed slightly.

It was worth a try!

He lifted his head and focused on a Bone Dragon not far away.

"Undead summoning-Bones!"

[Hint: The player is using the skill Bones' summoning to imprint a soul brand. The skill is in progress... Please maintain the skill guidance state; any movement, attack, spellcasting, or being attacked will interrupt this state... ]

[Hint: The player's current academic tier is one tier lower than the undead bones, significantly lowering the success rate.]

The undead Bone Dragon, which had been resting nearby, sensed something unusual. Initially, it remained still, but after a moment, blue flames flickered in its eyes.

The Bone Dragon glanced at Fang Heng, then closed its eyes again, completely ignoring the skill.

It remained in its original sleeping position the entire time.

Failed!

But according to the game hints, there was indeed a chance of success.

There was hope.

If he used the zombie clones to stack the odds, there might be a possibility of success.

But here, in front of so many people, would using zombies cause trouble?

Fang Heng thought for a moment, then remotely commanded a group of Lickers to gather nearby before returning to Sirius's side, "Judge, are the undead Bone Dragons here easy to deal with?"

"Not really, they've just become accustomed to attempts at control."

Sirius shook his head and replied, "Bone Dragons also have a hierarchy. The higher-tier Bone Dragons reside deeper in the mountains, while the lower-tier ones gather on the periphery. They're used to this—Empress Persephone once visited and agreed with them. Unless provoked, they won't cross that red line to attack the Dark Clan."

"So they will resist."

"Right, though such situations are rare, they can happen," Sirius nodded gently, looking at Fang Heng. "Do you have a plan?"

"I do."

Sirius's eyes widened in surprise, "Really? What is it?"

"I need your help with something."

"Speak up; as long as it helps condense the will of Empress Persephone."

"Can you hold the Bone Dragon for a while?"
