Chapter 1239 - 1239 Sudden Entry
1239 Sudden Entry
Purple lightning flashed, and more than a dozen soldiers were paralyzed at the same time!
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei rushed forward at once and started to attack.
The paralyzed guard could not resist at all. Just as he recovered from the paralysis, his body was immediately covered in a layer of frost, and he was frozen.
“Condense ice curse.”
Relying on Tang Mingyue’s powerful spell control, Fang Heng switch to the bloodthirst long sword and slashed at the Empire’s soldiers.
On the side, Wu Shijiang looked at the three’s powerful combat strength and couldn’t help but secretly click his tongue.
It was true that Her Highness Mingyue’s spiritual energy was terrifyingly vast.
However, this kind of fighting style…
It was really extravagant.
The eight guards of the Empire were continuously controlled by Tang Mingyue’s switching of various spells until they died without a single sound.
“Let’s go!”
After dealing with the guards at the door, Fang Heng called out softly and quickly led everyone into the Hall of Divine Martial Arts.
Wu Shijiang immediately checked the room after he stepped into the hall. He quickly found the decorative wall in the corner of the room.
“Lord Fang Heng, this is the disc that controls the entrance to the underground palace. It can only be activated by someone who knows alchemy.”
“I’ll do it.”
Warren said as he walked forward. He came to the wall and lowered his head to check the round disc for a moment. He then reached out and gently pressed the ball.
“Ka ka ka…”
A unique alchemy machine sound rang out, and the floor slowly lifted up, revealing a huge passage entrance leading down.
It had opened!
Wu Shijiang’s eyes lit up as he looked at the crowd and reminded them, “Your Highness Mingyue, Lord Fang Heng, the area below is the underground palace. My spiritual connection with the outside world will be temporarily blocked. Everyone, be careful.”
Although it was called telepathy, it was actually the communication of the survival radio station.
Some special areas in the game would block communication to increase the difficulty.
Fang Heng naturally understood and didn’t expose him. He nodded and reminded everyone, “Alright, be careful.”
After saying that, Fang Heng took the lead and stepped in.
….
In the underground palace of the royal family, the walls on both sides of the palace were made of special stone. There was a burning lamp on the wall at a certain distance to illuminate the surroundings.
There was a straight passage leading to the depths ahead.
Perhaps it was due to the frequent transportation of the enlightenment stone replicas, but the entire underground passage was built very wide.
There were no guards in the entire passage.
Time was limited, so everyone sped up their exploration.
“Previously, when our team was searching the underground palace, we encountered some of the Empire’s guards. Later on, during the search, we found Salvador’s experimental subject, which he used to control the mutated demons. The ordinary Empire’s guards are easy to deal with, but the soldiers who have been mutated are very difficult to deal with.”
Wu Shijiang walked forward and shared with everyone the information he had gathered during the exploration of the underground palace.
Soon, everyone came to a fork in the road.
Wu Shijiang raised his hand and pointed to the entrance on the right side of the passage. He said, “We encountered a fork in the road earlier, so we first followed the right side of the area to investigate. Deep in the area is a live sample laboratory built by the Empire. There, we found evidence of Salvador using the military to carry out an unknown experiment.”
“At that time, we didn’t have the time to collect evidence. We wanted to explore the underground palace to find more information, so we came back and explored the left area.”
Wu Shijiang thought that Fang Heng and the others were all game characters. There were some things that he couldn’t explain clearly and could only be vague.
Due to the completion rate of the mission, Ed’s team had triggered two missions at the same time: collecting evidence of Salvador’s rebellion and exploring the underground palace.
And both missions had a completion rate.
Due to time constraints, the team’s think tank decided to follow the original plan and complete the underground palace search mission first. They would strive to cut the Gordian knot and directly seize the royal family.
Of course, the team also had a way out. They left a small team of players to continue to stay in the same place to search for clues, which was why there was the last 16% incomplete mission rate.
At least they weren’t completely annihilated.
Wu Shijiang pointed to the passage on the left and said, “There is a long way to go in that passage. The deeper part of the passage is where Salvador conducted his experiments. When we were checking, we triggered some magic arrays, and halfway through, some of the subjects suddenly came back to life. We are in big trouble.”
“My Lord, let’s hurry up and move. Go to the right passage.”
As he spoke, Wu Shijiang had already taken two steps toward the right intersection. When he turned around, he found that Fang Heng was still standing in the same place without moving. He couldn’t help but feel a little anxious.
After they found evidence of Salvador’s crimes, they would have to find a way to escape. The longer they stayed, the more dangerous it would be.
“The information we’re looking for should be in the left area. The danger level there is the lowest, and we shouldn’t encounter too many Empire guards.”
Fang Heng didn’t answer. He just stood there and looked at the front of the passage, asking in a low voice, “Did you guys feel anything?”
Upon hearing that, they followed Fang Heng’s gaze and looked at the entrance of the passage in front of them.
“Yes.” Warren nodded, his expression was also serious, and he said in a deep voice, “It’s the power of the ‘demonic seed’. There’s a demonic seed in the depths of the passage.”
“There’s also the enlightenment stone,”
Tang Mingyue also nodded. She said, “I’m sure. It’s not a replica. It’s the spiritual power fluctuation of the enlightenment stone.”
Warren also tried to sense it and nodded. “Yes, that’s right,”
Fang Heng took another glance at the task prompt.
He had no interest in the mission to collect evidence of Salvador’s crimes.
After all, this mission involved the internal strife of the Empire.
If there was internal strife, it would take at least half a month. By then, the trial would have ended and he would have left the trial game.
If it was convenient, he wouldn’t mind giving it a try. However, there were only two hours left on the time limit of the underground palace mission.
Naturally, he had no time to waste.
Moreover, the underground palace exploration mission was related to the ‘demonic seed’, and there was also the enlightenment stone, which was obviously more important.
First, he had to focus on exploring the entire underground palace.
Fang Heng asked, “What about the front? What’s in front of the passage?”
“I’m not sure,” Wu Shijiang’s brows furrowed as he looked carefully at the entrance of the passage and replied, “Lord Fang Heng, we haven’t had the time to fully explore the left area before we were blocked by the Empire’s reinforcements.”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng fixed his eyes on the passage in front of him.
Wei Tao’s team had already explored most of the laboratories on the left and right, but they had not explored the front.
Hence, if he wanted to increase his completion rate, he had to go to the front and take a look.
The demonic seed was also there.
Fang Heng immediately made a decision and strode toward the passage in front.
“Ah, no, that way, that way is…”
Wu Shijiang was shocked when he saw Fang Heng hesitating and walking forward, “Lord Fang Heng, we are going in the wrong way. The research room is on the right side of the passage.”
“Don’t worry.”
Mo Jiawei followed him and patted Wu Shijiang’s shoulder calmly. He said, “Just follow behind us and learn from us.”
“Ah, this…”
The passage in front of them had not been explored, and it was undoubtedly the most dangerous area.
Seeing that everyone had followed, Wu Shijiang couldn’t help but swallow his saliva. He could only grit his teeth and follow.
The group had just advanced a short distance when they heard heavy footsteps coming from the other end of the passage.
