From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword

Chapter 387: The Secret Within the Summoning Countdown



[Abyss Battlefield: Summoning countdown 6 days 8 hours 12 minutes 7 seconds...]

At the moment the Bone Sovereign's phantom raised a finger, the summoning countdown appeared.

Lu Heng was momentarily stunned when he saw the summoning countdown.

It wasn't just Lu Heng; three team members several kilometers away also saw the summoning countdown at the same time.

Then, the seven-meter tall phantom of the Bone Sovereign laughed wildly and said arrogantly: "Insect, I wait for you in the Abyss World."

After saying this, the Bone Sovereign's phantom slowly dissipated and vanished.

The Spirit Summoning Ceremony ended, and Clyde Saville collapsed on the ground, supporting himself with his hands, panting heavily.

Outside the door, Qi Jinhui saw the Bone Sovereign's phantom disappear from his computer screen, was stunned, and immediately rushed in to ask: "What happened? Did the ceremony end? What did the Bone Sovereign say at the end?"

There's nothing to hide about being summoned, and this summoning is clearly a conspiracy that requires the battle zone's assistance.

Lu Heng quickly thought through it, explaining as he thought: "I've been summoned. He probably used some ability to draw me into the Abyss Battlefield."

Information about special tools in the Abyss World has long been recorded in the battle zone's archives.

For example, tools to foresee summoning world information, to teleport ahead to the Abyss Battlefield, or tools to follow someone into the Abyss Battlefield.

There are so many types of these special tools, anything might happen.

Qi Jinhui quickly understood and pressed further: "You mean the Bone Sovereign used some method to pull you into the Abyss Battlefield? He wants to deal with you there?"

Lu Heng nodded: "That seems to be the case."

Qi Jinhui sensed the seriousness of the situation and asked: "So what do we do now?"

He began to worry about the leader of the Dragon Power team in front of him.

Though they hadn't fought together, they had worked together to form the Hidden Dragon Special Team, so Qi Jinhui knew how important Lu Heng is to the Southern War Zone, to Da Xia, and even to human civilization.

How serious is the current situation?

Lu Heng was pulled into the Abyss Battlefield by an evil demigod, which means he has to face the pursuit of a demigod.

Who can withstand that?

That's why Qi Jinhui had to ask what to do, because he couldn't think of a way to turn the situation around immediately.

Lu Heng remained calm, clearly assessing the level of threat he faced, and quickly made a judgment, pointing at the exhausted Clyde Saville, and instructed:

"First check if he's been summoned. I need an accurate answer; you can use spiritual torture methods."

Qi Jinhui nodded immediately: "Okay, no problem."

Clyde Saville is just a prisoner now, and since he has committed crimes within Da Xia, using spiritual torture on him comes without burdens.

After Lu Heng finished talking, he turned and left, saying: "I need to make some preparations. You report the situation to Chief Li. I may need the battle zone's help, so I need his approval first."

"Okay, I'll report back right away. After the report, I'll call you." Qi Jinhui knew this matter was urgent, so he prepared to report immediately.

"I need to go back first; you go on with your work." Lu Heng said and left the Superpower Prison, returning to Coastal.

Qi Jinhui still had some finishing work to do, and after completing it, he hurried back to the battle zone headquarters to report.

...

On the way back to the city, Lu Heng had already received messages from Su Muyu and the others.

All four team members received the summoning notice, but this summoning was somewhat special.

When Lu Heng saw the summoning countdown, he realized it was an unprecedented situation.

When the summoning countdown appeared, it wasn't 7 days, but 6 days 8 hours 12 minutes 7 seconds...

This countdown had odd and even numbers, clearly not a standard summoning.

This also confirmed that it was not a normal summoning, but one forced by the Bone Sovereign.

Lu Heng sent a gathering message to the team group, and by the time he returned to the Training Room at Qionghua Tianglu Lake, Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, and Xie Shi'en were already there.

The three had already been discussing for a while, and Xie Shi'en first raised a doubt: "The countdown for this summoning isn't normal. Is there a reason for it?"

Lu Heng nodded: "Yes, it's not a normal summoning. I was pulled in by the Bone Sovereign using special means."

The three were simultaneously surprised.

"That thing in the Wugu Blue Cave?" Lin Zeyu asked with wide eyes.

"Yes, that thing."

"Isn't that a demigod? Are we being pulled into the Abyss Battlefield to be taken in by a demigod?" Lin Zeyu's face was incredibly expressive.

"You're right. The Bone Sovereign's target is indeed me, so this summoning is very dangerous. Everyone should be mentally prepared." Lu Heng said seriously.

Aside from Lin Zeyu's exaggerated expression, Su Muyu and Xie Shi'en remained relatively calm.

Xie Shi'en kept his usual calm demeanor, saying: "The Abyss has always been dangerous. Since there's a problem, let's find a way to solve it."

Su Muyu calculated some figures with a pen on paper and said: "I found a problem: if the countdown reverses back to 7 days, the time is exactly midnight last night."

Lu Heng gave a thumbs-up and praised: "Yes, that's indeed a key piece of information. A lot can be analyzed from this countdown."
