Chapter 2012 Ripples
As Fang Heng thought about it, he retracted his gaze and looked at the area covered by the dragon soul crystal dust.
Even though he forcefully used Everlasting Moon’s ultimate skill, causing it to enter cooldown time and his mental strength to suffer a considerable backlash, he still managed to preserve all the dragon soul crystal fragments.
It was considered a success.
Next, it was time to verify his guess!
Fang Heng asked calmly, “Carl, can you feel it?”
Carl was kneeling beside Fang Heng on one knee, waiting for his orders. When he heard Fang Heng’s words, he was stunned as he asked, “Your Majesty, are you talking about…?”
“Lifeblood strength.”
Fang Heng completely released his perception and looked into the distance. Even after the dragon soul crystal was shattered into pieces, it still possessed a portion of the dragon soul crystal’s power.
A special effect that could strengthen lifeblood!
Fang Heng had felt it from the beginning.
Whether it was the medicine that Miyamoto Teru had developed using the dragon soul crystal or the direct influence of the dragon soul crystal, there were obvious abnormal fluctuations in the lifeblood strength within the players’ bodies.
“Yes, indeed.”
Prince Carl also looked at the area covered in crystal dust, feeling uneasy.
The vampire’s perception of the power of blood was stronger than that of great creatures.
Naturally, he was aware of the lifeblood power contained in the dragon soul crystal.
At the same time, he also sensed the huge instability in the power.
“Carl, do me a favor.”
Fang Heng leaned over and whispered something into Prince Carl’s ear.
After hearing Fang Heng’s words, Carl’s expression changed as he said, “Your Majesty, you want to…”
“Do it.”
“Understood!”
Fang Heng watched as Carl went to summon more vampires and closed his eyes.
Due to the previous use of a powerful skill that resulted in excessive mental strength consumption, he now felt a bit dizzy in the head, unable to concentrate.
He had to recover as soon as possible.
Fang Heng sat down and closed his eyes to rest.
…
Frostmist Island.
The underwater tunnel that led to the underground laboratory.
At this moment, in addition to the Crisis Management Department led by Lei Yu, reinforcements from the Federation’s military department have also arrived. Teams from various Federation units have collectively surrounded the entrance to the entire underwater research institute, making it impossible for any water to leak through.
After the two-hour countdown to the lockdown mode of the research institute ended, they immediately sealed the exits and entered the research institute to investigate.
Miyamoto Teru stood at the back of the group like an old monk meditating.
Lei Yu putting up such a huge formation was meaningless in his eyes.
After entering the lockdown mode, the built-in power supply of the research institute would fail. At that time, the ice cellar where the dragon soul crystals were stored would also heat up rapidly due to the lack of power.
At that time, the Fox Hunting Squad in cultivation and several elite player teams from advanced game worlds who had collaborated with him would also notice the anomaly and wake up.
A mere group of demi-humans…
They were not a match for the Fox Hunting Squad and the other player teams!
Miyamoto Teru had already foreseen the outcome.
As the lockdown time ended, a notification sounded in the players’ ears.
“Confirm password…The lockdown mode has been removed, and the defense is being activated…Please proceed to the main control platform and end Grade 1 defense mode.”
The players looked at the entrance of the underwater research institute and clenched their weapons.
“Ka ka ka…”
As the door opened, the players from the Fox Hunting Squad under Miyamoto Teru appeared behind the door.
Lei Yu’s elite team of players entered the entrance at the first moment and firmly occupied both sides of the entrance.
“Mr. Miyamoto, we’ve been attacked by intruders…”
The leader of the Fox Hunting Squad walked forward to report. When he saw the people from the Federation staring at him, he could not help but hesitate.
Miyamoto Teru said in a deep voice, “There’s no need to hide anything. Report the situation. What happened at the research institute?!”
“Team A of the Fox Hunting Squad fought fiercely with the intruders and chased them into the game world. Unfortunately, all of them died. In the end, only Ji Shaojie left through the teleportation passage.”
What?!
Not only Miyamoto Teru, but the rest were also surprised. 𝔫𝙤ѵ𝑒𝙡𝖇Ꭵ𝖓.𝘯𝙚𝘵
Miyamoto Teru raised his head and looked at Ji Shaojie, who was following behind the Fox Hunting Squad.
“What happened?”
Ji Shaojie, despite feeling extremely unwilling, couldn’t help but take a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “They got away.”
Got away?
Miyamoto Teru’s gaze instantly turned extremely sharp as he glared at Ji Shaojie and asked, “Let me ask you, what do you mean by got away?!”
“You can check the surveillance cameras for details.”
Ji Shaojie furrowed his brow and questioned, “Mr. Miyamoto, I still want to ask you, why is the teleportation passage kept open? Why was the research institute invaded so easily by the enemy?”
Miyamoto Teru did not answer and continued to stare at Ji Shaojie and asked, “Where’s the dragon soul crystal?!”
“He took it away.”
What the hell!
Miyamoto Teru could no longer maintain his composure. He stood rooted to the ground as if he had been struck by lightning.
The dragon soul crystal was taken away?
How was this possible?
Back then, he had prepared for two years to bring the dragon soul crystal out of the game world!
How could the other party have the ability to take away the dragon soul crystal in such a short time?
Could it be…
A terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Miyamoto Teru’s mind.
Could it be that the so-called demi-humans were just a pretense, and their real target was the dragon soul crystal?
“Where did he take it to?”
Ji Shaojie said in a deep voice, “They took it away through the teleportation passage.”
“Let’s go!”
Miyamoto Teru was burning with anxiety as he led his men deeper into the passage.
A few players from the Federation’s Crisis Management Department immediately stood in front of everyone and said, “Mr. Miyamoto, the crisis has not been resolved yet. It’s still…”
“Don’t stop me!”
Miyamoto Teru shouted as he stared at everyone with his eyes wide open.
“Let them go.”
Lei Yu waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to move aside.
Miyamoto Teru took a deep breath and rushed to the eighth basement with his Fox Hunting Squad Team C.
Impossible! It was definitely impossible!
Lei Yu’s subordinates looked at each other as they watched Miyamoto Teru leave in a hurry.
It was hard to describe their feelings.
Being outsmarted by the demi-humans again was clearly not a good thing, but seeing Miyamoto Teru in such a disheartened state somehow made them feel a bit relieved.
In reality, they weren’t sure what the dragon soul crystal was and how important it was to Miyamoto Teru.
Lei Yu frowned.
The holy artifact-the dragon soul crystal.
Was the demi-human race really here for this thing?
The plan was so thorough that it was hard to imagine that it was an impromptu idea by the enemy.
It was most likely a trap and an extremely daring trap!
Even as an enemy, Lei Yu could not help but admire the demi-human race’s meticulous planning.
However, the demi-humans had once again escaped from the
inescapable net they had set up. It would be even more difficult to find them.
Lei Yu looked at Ji Shaojie and said, “Hello, Mr. Ji Shaojie. I’m Lei Yu from the Federation’s Crisis Management Department. I need to ask you for some information…”
