1195 Mutated Demonic Seed
Hearing this, Wangnet could not help but be excited. He asked, “And then?”
“In order to confirm this speculation, I secretly looked for an opportunity and spent some time in the Alchemy Society to accept a commission to help the Empire guard the mausoleum.”
“I wanted to use this opportunity to sneak into the mausoleum to investigate.”
“I’ve succeeded. However, by the time I’ve truly entered the central area of the mausoleum to investigate, I’ve discovered that I was too late.”
“The mausoleum was destroyed in advance, and the demonic seed left by the late Emperor was nowhere to be found. At that time, I wanted to continue the investigation, but I didn’t expect to suddenly faint.”
“When I woke up, I realized that I was saved by Sydney, who was guarding the Imperial mausoleum.”
“Although I’m from a different camp from Sydney, he did not make things difficult for me. I also learned about the Imperial mausoleum from him.”
“It turns out that someone had already entered the mausoleum before me. They destroyed the seal left behind by Her Majesty’s ancestor and plundered the demonic seeds that Her Majesty had sealed.”
“What’s more troublesome is that although the demonic seeds were plundered, the plunderers forcibly broke the seal during the plundering, causing some of the demonic seeds to leak out. A large number of creatures gathered in the mausoleum were also affected by the demonic seeds.”
“For some reason, the demonic seed has mutated. In order to prevent the demonic creatures affected by the demonic seed from spreading, Sydney has sealed the gate to the central area of the mausoleum with an alchemy magic array.”
“After another hundred years, the entire central area of the Imperial mausoleum has been eroded by the power of the mutated demonic seed. Ordinary people will be eroded by the demonic seed if they stay inside for a while.”
“I’m quite lucky. The Saint’s inheritance helped me resist part of the demonic seed’s power. If Sydney had come a little later, I might have become a demon.”
“Sydney recognized me as the inheritor of the Saint. He wants me to stay here to guard the mausoleum and help him complete the seal, and to protect the seal from being broken.”
“I promised him,”
“Of course, I’ve been trying to figure out a way to study the demonic seed and find a way to deal with the abyssal demons.”

Wangnet could not help but clench his fists as he asked, “So you’re saying that the things in the Imperial mausoleum have already been taken away?”
“Yes, there’s no point in going into the center of the Imperial mausoleum to investigate now. Let’s hurry up and leave.”
“No! How do you know if Sydney did not lie to you?”
He had spent so much effort to break into the tomb of Wangnet, he would not give up until he had a look.
“Of course, I’ve checked. The center of the Imperial mausoleum has been eroded by the power of the demonic seed. I can’t get too close, but I can see clearly with my eyes.”
“I’ve been here for decades, and I’ve entered the center of the Imperial mausoleum 29 times. The most recent time was three years ago. I’m sure that the demonic seed has been taken away.”
“Fine, even if what you say is true, I’ll still go in and see for myself. I can only be at ease after I confirm it with my own eyes.”
Warren couldn’t help but sigh in his heart and tried to persuade him again, “The dark serpents that live in the mausoleum have already been affected by the demonic seed. They are violent and have extremely powerful strength. It’s not a big deal to be injured accidentally, but once the demonic seed spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let the demonic seed spread, but I’m definitely going to the center of the Imperial mausoleum to take a look.” Naturally, Wangnet would not back down. He then looked at Fang Heng and asked, “Fang Heng, what do you say?”
Of course, Fang Heng didn’t want to leave just like that.
After all, now that the mission had been triggered, the Internal Department of the Imperial mausoleum had to be checked.
Fang Heng then looked at Warren and said, “Mr. Warren, we have also done a lot of research on the demonic seed. There might be some clues that we have missed in the center of the mausoleum. We need to go in and take a look.”
Tang Mingyue added, “We have the ability to come here, so we’ll be fine.”
“Fine, I won’t stop you if you insist, ” Warren said. “But I have to remind you that the power of the demonic seed has spread in the central area of the Imperial mausoleum. Don’t stay there for too long, or you’ll become a demonic creature.”
“Many thanks.”
Seeing that his persuasion was useless, Warren shook his head and turned around to walk toward the silver metal door. He sighed and said, “To prevent the demonic seed from being leaked, I will close the door immediately after you enter the hall. Good luck.”
After saying that, Warren stood in front of the silver door.
He placed his hands in front of his body and drew a mark, then gently put his palms together.
His mental power was then injected into the alchemy magic array on the silver door.
“Ka ka ka…”
Under the activation of alchemy, the silver door slowly opened.
“Let’s go!”
Wangnet was the first to step through the door, followed by Tang Mingyue.
Then, the zombies under Fang Heng’s control followed.
Just as Sandy was about to enter the door, Qiu Yaokang reached out and stopped him.
“Ah?”
“Wait a moment.”
Sandy did not know what he meant and asked, “Why?”
Qiu Yaokang took out the virus concentration detector and pointed it at the inside of the silver door. He nodded at Sandy to show hin the value displayed on the detector.
“As you can see, the infection index is five hundred times higher than the danger level. If you go in, there’s a high chance that you’ll be infected. If you force your way in, I estimate that your survival rate is less than 0.04%.”
“This …”
“Drink it. It can resist for an hour. After an hour, you must leave the high-concentration area.”
Qiu Yaokang took out a small bottle of blue liquid and handed it to Sandy.
“Alright!”
At this point, Sandy did not want to talk about the blessing of the God of Art anymore. Without another word, he opened the lid and poured the medicine into his mouth.
Seeing that everyone had followed him into the hall, Fang Heng took a final look at Warren who was outside the hall.
“Be careful,”
Warren gave his last instruction and immediately formed a seal with his hand.
“Boom!”
After Fang Heng left, the silver door closed in front of Warren.
…
After passing through the gate, there was a dilapidated palace behind them. The entire palace was beautifully decorated, but it was filled with the smell of death as if it had experienced a great catastrophe.
The walls and floor were covered in dried blood.
Large pieces of armor and weapons fell to the ground.
Their master had long been turned into ashes, not even a skeleton was left.
“It’s the dark serpent.”
A layer of red light was attached to Fang Heng’s pupils. He pointed to a place not far away and said, “And there are many of them.”
“Chi Chi Chi…”
A large number of black serpents were slithering in the darkness of the palace.
The mutated dark serpents inside the palace were much larger than the mutated dark serpents they had encountered in the outside world. It was over a meter thick, and its length had also greatly increased.
