Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 1243 - 339: Great Desert Investigation

The group suddenly understood.

Due to Brother Kael's unique situation, he hadn't uploaded such an important magic model to the Mage Net's backend.

They couldn't learn the details of the relevant spell through the Mage Net. Only Nasilia, having joined the Lancaster War Mage Academy earlier, knew more or less how terrifying the legend of the Book of the Dead was.

"Is this task really something that someone of our level can undertake? An NPC capable of stealing critical secret spells from Sterling must be more dangerous than we imagine, right? Should we really try it?"

I Love Xiao Yi showed a hesitant expression on her face.

But the Guarantor laughed and said, "I know this matter. Everyone doesn't need to worry too much. Actually, the data stolen by the necromancer isn't real data, but a modified version with a lot of errors in the core content.

This time they wanted us to come primarily to use our players' tactic of overwhelming with numbers to find that necromancer in the shortest time and uncover the secrets of the person behind the necromancer."

Upon hearing this, everyone understood what was going on.

"So everyone, before we came over, the newly-operational September Heavy Industries had custom-made equipment for us. Did everyone bring it over?"

Everyone nodded.

Who would have thought that September Heavy Industries had developed to this extent?

The players logged off due to the game version update shortly after the great battle between the Yibel Federation and the Holy Briania.

Some suspect that the reason for the version update was because Kael flew to the Star Realm, opposed the gods, and killed some deities, leading to the game version update directly advancing to version 3.0 of the [God and Man] new version.

Not long after the players disappeared, the Shenhwa Continent fell into chaos due to Holy Briania's collapse, causing allies that previously stood firmly with the Federation to become voracious beasts looking to further divide the Yibel Federation after the Pope Country disappeared.

This means that even though the players have left the game over the years, the conflicts on the Shenhwa Continent didn't become as terrifying as before and, due to the war, Lancaster's September Heavy Industries had to operate at full capacity, crazily producing equipment to meet the Federation's needs.

However, this heavily supported September Heavy Industries from the Federation faced a very challenging issue at that time.

That was due to the sudden departure of players, causing many originally operating production lines to encounter problems.

Elanna, already starting to oversee some territory privileges of Kael by then, chose to widely invite candidates to maintain September Heavy Industries' operations relying on a large number of people.

Unexpectedly, because the players weren't there, the absorbed September Heavy Industries, instead of collapsing from the players' absence, resumed production line operations by the ordinary people recruited later.

Decades have passed. September Heavy Industries, relying on the prosperity of the Lancaster Mage Holy Land, has grown to become indisputably the largest business house in Lancaster and even controls a significant amount of alchemy and magic technology.

Yes, when the players of September Heavy Industries logged back in, they found that their own production base, now reclaimed by Lancaster Territory, had grown unexpectedly to a level they couldn't comprehend.

Of course, even though the players returned, it was impossible to hand September Heavy Industries back over to them directly.

The current September Heavy Industries is a massive entity developed by relying on the prestige of the Lord Mansion and the prosperity of the Mage Holy Land. The most crucial time period in this development had no player involvement.

But unable to resist the generosity of September Heavy Industries, it still reconstructed a medium-scale alchemy and magic equipment factory for the players of September Heavy Industries, allowing them to operate it independently and even continue using the name of September Heavy Industries.

Under these circumstances, the avatar-collecting players, filled with bizarre ideas, began attempting to use their knowledge to turn techniques that only existed in the Human Federation, or even in fantasy, into reality.

Among these, the most outstanding and well-received equipment was the [Optical Camouflage] purchased by the Guarantor and his team.

Unlike ordinary camouflage clothing that relies only on special colors for its deception effect, the optical camouflage, which can change colors with the environment, is exceptionally suitable for any player who frequently engages in outdoor exploration.

Especially in areas like the edge of the Great Desert, where the yellow sand flies everywhere and the endless desert meets the eye, if they were to advance directly towards the area where the necromancer is, without having reached even a third of the way, they might already be observed by the other party.

By then, the undead monsters sent out by the necromancer might encircle and kill them in the desert.

They're here to party up and have fun doing a task, not to suffer.

"Let's split up, everyone, is that okay?" The group took out their optical camouflage from the system backpack and covered themselves with it.

For them, as long as the eye can see, the system can locate where other players are, so there's no worry about walking and losing people.

After a simple direction allocation, they quickly spread out, advancing towards the edge areas full of desert monsters.

[Xiao You in the Empty Mountains] was the person with the fastest stealth speed.

Unlike the others, as a warrior who had been seasoned in special units of the Human Federation, she was extraordinarily familiar with this crawling maneuver.

If others moved by crawling in the desert, then she was like someone turned on the speed hack, moving far faster than the others.

But soon, she realized something was off.

She had always trusted her intuition, with a unique perception of danger, so it didn't take her long in stealth to find something amiss.

She opened the system and private messaged the others in their little team, saying:

"I've already gotten close to seven kilometers into the Great Desert edge in my direction, and there's something strange going on. I wonder if you all have encountered it—there haven't been any monsters in the Great Desert."

Sister Astate replied, "Isn't it a good thing not to encounter monsters? It means we're very successful in our stealth!"

I Love Xiao Yi said, "No, I think what Xiao You wants to say isn't this, but those monsters normally active around the Great Desert; now, we can't even feel their existence."

Nasilia said, "It's as if they never existed here?"

Empty Mountains Touring nodded and said, "That's right, you all know I'm quite sensitive to crises, but despite advancing this far, I haven't felt any monsters threatening me in the surroundings."

Saying this, she directly removed her optical camouflage, suddenly emerging in the vast desert.

Without any fear, she walked around the surrounding area for a bit, then responded to the group with a message:

"I guessed right, currently, the Great Desert surrounding for reasons unknown basically has no monsters. I took off the optical camouflage and haven't been attacked by any lurking sand monsters. I suspect our mission plan has changed."

After she said this, except for the cautious Nasilia, everyone else removed their optical camouflage and carefully observed the surroundings.

Nasilia didn't have the ability to sense the surroundings, but as a War Mage, she soon found a magic in the Weave to enhance perception.

After casting a series of spells on herself, she didn't sense any movement in the surroundings.

"Something's wrong, there used to be at least a million monsters residing here, now we've entered the outer area, yet not a single monster has appeared!"
