1248 Secret laboratory
Tang Wu had considered for some time and had yet to make a final decision.
He had doubts about everything the Holy Court said.
But today, he had personally witnessed the demon that was hiding under the Imperial City.
Cooperating with the Holy Court was the last resort he could think of.
If everything went smoothly, with the help of the Holy Court, he would be able to take over the Empire, and the Holy Court would be able to gain the Empire’s support in spreading their religion.
“Please remember our agreement, Your Highness.”
“Yes!”
Tang Wu took a deep breath and his eyes were filled with determination as he said, “Go, let’s go to the temple.”
….
In the underground palace, after breaking the seal on the ceiling, Fang Heng and the others saw with their own eyes four giant-sized tentacles darting out from the broken ground!
The huge tentacles even broke through the ceiling and penetrated the entire underground palace!
Everyone carefully observed the root area of the giant-sized tentacles.
“Original devouring body modified form.”
Mo Jiawei shook his head at Fang Heng.
This thing’s level was too high, and the information he could obtain through detection could be counted on his fingers.
“Creak creak creak…”
A small amount of sticky fluid emerged from the black hole in the center of the round platform. It looked like it was wrapped in layers of dark brown material.
It was like a strange mollusk.
The original devouring body that had crawled out of the round platform was only a small part of its main body. It was still slowly wriggling, as if it was trying to slowly break free from a narrow opening.
The original devouring body modified form was such a disgusting creature?
Just one look at it made Wu Shijiang’s scalp go numb.
“Be careful!”
Whoosh!
A tiny tentacle suddenly extended from the original devouring body’s dark brown fluid-like body and swept toward Fang Heng and the others.
The crowd quickly retreated.
“BOOM!!”
The ground where Fang Heng had been standing was smashed into a shallow pit.
Chi Chi Chi Chi!!
Several sharp tentacles continued to chase after the group!
Fang Heng frowned and quickly retreated. At the same time, he cut his right palm with the bloodthirst thorn long sword and threw his right hand forward.
Blood spurted out of his palm and splattered on the tentacle of the original devouring body.
“Chi Chi!”
The tentacle twitched a few times as if it had been electrocuted. Then, it quickly shrank back and settled at the entrance of the cave, returning to its previous liquidized state.
Wu Shijiang followed behind Warren and peeked his head out to observe carefully. His heart was beating rapidly.
What a powerful monster!
It couldn’t be defeated easily!
Fortunately, the monster was more afraid of Lord Fang Heng.
Therefore, Lord Fang Heng was more terrifying than that creature?
Wu Shijiang’s imagination ran wild and he couldn’t help but shift his gaze to Fang Heng.
He noticed that Fang Heng was staring at the original devouring body and thinking.
Looking at him…
He couldn’t be thinking about how to deal with this monster, right?
Wu Shijiang shivered for no reason. Just as he was about to ask something, several lines of game prompts flashed across his retina.
[Hint: The player team has unlocked the initial seal and released the initial stage of the unknown life form. The mission completion rate has increased. The player can choose to continue to completely release or kill the unknown life form to increase the mission completion rate.]
[Hint: The player has completed the underground palace exploration quest. The player has triggered the next stage of Salvador’s secret.]
Mission title: Salvador’s secret.
Mission difficulty: SS→A+.
Mission description: The unknown lifeform that Salvador has been raising in the underground palace has found an exit to escape from its cage. It has been trapped in the darkness for a long time, and it desires true freedom.
Mission requirement: Find Salvador’s secret laboratory in the underground palace and find out the truth about the unknown lifeform.
[Hint: As the player’s exploration mission completion rate is higher than 300%, you have received an additional reward of detailed guidance for the next step of the mission. Please follow the mission guidance to the mission location. The difficulty of this mission has been reduced to A+.]
The game prompt quickly faded away, and a light blue arrow appeared on his retina, pointing to the rear area.
New mission! And there was even a guide!
Compared to dealing with the original devouring body, the new mission in front of him was obviously more reliable!
When Wu Shijiang saw the mission appear, he was overjoyed.
He thought that Fang Heng and the others were all NPCs and couldn’t get the game prompt, so he quickly found an excuse and said, “Your Highness, my friend has just sent me a message. Salvador has a secret lab in the underground palace. Please follow me!”
Fang Heng and the others quickly looked at each other.
What if they could find the weakness of the original devouring body in the laboratory?
“Let’s go!”
No one hesitated and immediately followed Wu Shijiang.
Wu Shijiang was very anxious as he followed the mission guide and ran forward.
From time to time, the original devouring body’s tentacles behind them would chase after them again, and Fang Heng would cut his wrist and kill them by flicking his blood on them until they left the dark passage completely.
Wu Shijiang looked at Fang Heng’s move with envy and thought that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would ask for some HP from Fang Heng to save his life.
Originally, the difficulty of the mission was SS. The player had to find the hidden laboratory area while being chased by the original devouring body.
Now, there was a reward mission prompt that directly suggested that he could find the hidden area, and Fang Heng’s blood could directly expel the original devouring body.
Wu Shijiang felt the difficulty of the mission had decreased from SS to C.
He found the right person!
Sometimes, choices were far more important than hard work.
The group followed Wu Shijiang and arrived at an ordinary wall.
The wall looked ordinary, but the light blue arrow on his retina clearly pointed to a corner on the right side of the wall.
Wu Shijiang couldn’t see anything strange in the corner, so he pointed at the mission area and said anxiously, “There! There must be something wrong with that wall!”
Fang Heng had already seen the location of the mission given in the prompt. He stared at that area and checked it carefully.
“It’s a concealment alchemy magic array.”
Warren stepped forward and his body floated in the air. He reached out his hands and pressed them on the wall.
“Chi…”
A hidden rune mark appeared on the wall. After the mark was activated, it quickly faded.
Everyone looked at each other.
Warren explained, “The alchemy magic array has been activated. The entrance should be in another area.”
Wu Shijiang took a look and realized that the direction of the arrow had changed again. He quickly said, “Yes, over there!”
Along the way, the group found and activated two hidden alchemy magic arrays. Finally, they followed the directions and entered the secret tunnel area behind the wall. At the end of the tunnel, they found Salvador’s secret laboratory.
[Hint: The player has discovered Salvador’s secret lab in the underground palace.]
Fang Heng stepped into the laboratory first and searched around.
It was a room that wasn’t too big. It was more like a study room with a simple layout than a laboratory.
The moment Sandy entered the room, he was immediately attracted by a row of bookshelves on the right side of the door.
He quickly walked forward, picked up a book from the shelf, and quickly flipped through it.
“Brothers, it’s Salvador’s record book!”
Sandy was pleasantly surprised.
