Chapter 1583: Chapter 1584: Entering the Tower
“That one just now, indeed had issues.”
Finding another passage, the group smoothly crossed it using the previous method. Looking at the crystal pillars, Dou Yanlan whispered, the hall filled with crystal installations was entirely different from the research facility where the fake Feng Yuan had been, yet it perfectly matched the style of Xuanching Heavenly Kingdom.
Previously, was it specifically aimed at Feng Yuan? Does the mastermind have ties with him? Considering Feng Yuan’s unique background, the group couldn’t help but worry for him. After they destroyed the crystal pillar, Qi Chen approached Feng Yuan, glanced at Dou Yanlan, saw her nod, took a deep breath, and said to Feng Yuan,
“Feng Yuan, perhaps you should try to leave here?”
“Why? Relying solely on you guys might be troublesome.”
Surprised, Feng Yuan looked at Qi Chen, puzzled. With just the White Wolf Deity, they could navigate these mechanisms, albeit with difficulty. Moreover, he wasn’t injured, so why should he leave?
“They might be specifically targeting you. Staying here might not be safe.”
Looking at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen stated solemnly. They were certain the previous fake Feng Yuan was aimed at him, possibly orchestrated by someone who knew him well; otherwise, they wouldn’t have created such a setup. Based on Feng Yuan’s earlier reactions, he must have encountered similar things before, possibly in the same place Feng Yuan once stayed.
An evil organization conducting illegal human experimentation and even copying Feng Yuan’s existence proved far more dangerous than any G Organization. At least, presently known intelligence implies no one else possesses such technology.
Hearing Qi Chen’s words, Feng Yuan chuckled, saying,
“Targeting me? I’m not afraid. Besides, he’s merely flaunting his presence. Let’s go, continue clearing these energy nodes. I don’t know how many are left, but given the circumstances, there should be quite a few.”
Gazing at the side tower beyond the glass dome, Feng Yuan noticed that even after breaking the nodes, it only slightly weakened the tower’s assault. Following Feng Yuan’s gaze to the side tower, Qi Chen hesitated briefly before refraining from urging Feng Yuan any further and instead said,
“Don’t worry, I’ll surely protect everyone’s safety. Oh yes, if similar things come up later, you should try. These things are troublesome but not unconquerable for you.”
Thinking of something, Feng Yuan said to Qi Chen. Subsequently, he indeed acted accordingly, and although Qi Chen’s group wasn’t very powerful, under Dou Yanlan’s command, they could cooperatively face enemies. With Huo Feng and Liao Yu, Feng Yuan didn’t need to intervene.
As they reached the end of the passage, Feng Yuan looked at the colossal tower beyond the spherical glass wall, saying,
“Seems like we’ll have to go inside to destroy it. Let’s go.”
Smashing the nearest glass, Feng Yuan looked at the White Wolf Deity. Now, the deity’s paw slapped the ground, forming spherical barriers to shield the group, partially isolating them from the surrounding environment. Seeing the barriers flicker, Feng Yuan showed a ‘just as expected’ expression and said,
“Really cunning, hiding invisible micro-enemies in the air, tsk. It’s a pity we can’t contact others, otherwise, we could warn them.”
He wasn’t doubtful whether the other teams could make it here. Indeed, with the ongoing battle, the side tower was already weakened. However, even if they breached here, the tower’s weaponry still robustly suppressed distant frontlines.
“There are quite a few traps here, and our breaking the glass wall must have triggered an alert. Now we should…”
Dou Yanlan approached, about to ask Feng Yuan about the next move, only to see him command the White Wolf Deity to unleash a Time Extinguishing Cannon, blasting open the distant crystal wall. Pointing to the blasted gap, Feng Yuan said,
“Of course, we go in. Are we supposed to use the main entrance?”
“Had he always been ?”
Tan Xueluo couldn’t help but ask Qi Chen, feeling Feng Yuan’s approach was recklessly brazen. Unsurprisingly, Feng Yuan’s actions stirred quite a commotion, alarm sealing off the sounds of battle from the front battlefield. Qi Chen sighed, saying,
“Always , sometimes acting cautiously, sometimes charging recklessly.”
“Let’s go, no matter what, at least the path is clear.”
Giving Qi Chen’s back a pat, Wu Dingwu smiled awkwardly. Huo Feng and Liao Yu didn’t find it surprising; albeit their interaction with Feng Yuan was limited, they couldn’t ignore the research dedicated to Feng Yuan, naturally understanding his nature.
Charging into the side tower’s interior, numerous crystalline beings incessantly attacked the group. Sitting atop the White Wolf Deity, Feng Yuan occasionally employed the black longbow to unleash arrow rain, reducing Qi Chen and others’ pressure. Xiao Ji continuously attacked below, yet unable to fly here, it frequently came under assault.
Dark glows occasionally fell upon Xiao Ji. Watching it eternally injured yet fighting at the forefront, Feng Yuan felt helpless, having called it several times without response, suspecting it was too high-strung.
The chaos persisted until they reached a special room. The White Wolf Deity used Crystal Barriers to seal the entrance, preventing enemy intrusion, allowing everyone time to survey the surroundings. At this point, the crystal pillars standing at the room’s corners seized the group’s attention.
This thing, identical to previous energy nodes, just as Xiao Ji prepared to act, Feng Yuan instead refrained it. Confusedly looking at Feng Yuan, Xiao Ji dispersed the energy it had accumulated, Dou Yanlan pinched her chin, saying, For original chapters go to noⅴelfire.net
“Why are there four energy nodes in this place, and this device…”
“It supplies power to gigantic energy weapons, commonly Energy Heavy Cannons. But with only four nodes, the output limit is likely restricted.”
Huo Feng viewed the device, saying. Liao Yu recalled something and, with a worried expression, stated,
“If this is directly destroyed, it will explode!”
“Indeed, and its power, substantial.”
Nodding, Huo Feng responded. Although this space highly resembled a game world, the group understood it was merely manipulating real-world rules in various ways. In essence, this remained the real world, thus such an explosion’s power was undoubtedly intense. Yet, without damage, their goals remained unattainable.
“You don’t have delayed-explosive techniques?”
Feng Yuan asked Liao Yu. He was certain Qi Chen’s Beast Tamers wouldn’t possess such techniques. Considering, Huo Feng said,
“We do, but can’t control remotely, posing risks. After all, we can’t confirm the number of enemies outside, failing to withdraw promptly could be perilous…”
“Doesn’t the White Wolf Deity have such means?”
Liao Yu couldn’t help but look at the standing White Wolf Deity. The deity quietly stared at a crystal pillar, contemplating. Feng Yuan thought briefly and said,
“Looks like not. On its attributes, White Wolf Deity isn’t fire attribute, much less precise control techniques. Wait, we can use Time Stop.”
Recalling something, Feng Yuan mentioned, although the White Wolf Deity lacked a remotely controllable fire-element explosive technique, sealing an explosive technique and releasing it with Time Stop seemed viable, regarding the use of its accustomed techniques?
The Time Series indeed had capable explosive techniques, yet not only Feng Yuan, Huo Feng’s group wouldn’t agree to that approach, what a joke, Time Series explosive techniques mingling with energy bursts bore unpredictable outcomes.
Qi Chen’s group didn’t quite understand why take such trouble. Dou Yanlan envisioned something and said,
“To trigger energy-related devices, directly interfering fire-element techniques are most suitable. Otherwise, explosives should be used. Using other attribute explosive techniques to trigger energy explosions could birth errant energy storms. If in an open field, it’s fine, but…”
The remaining words Dou Yanlan hadn’t uttered were clear to the group. If an explosive storm spread White Wolf Deity’s technique, who knows its reach? They needed to stay in the tower to continue destruction, and Time Series explosions wouldn’t necessarily yield better fire-element effects.
“All right, that’s settled, let’s go.”
Seeing the Big Explosion sealed by Time Stop, Feng Yuan clapped his hands, urging everyone to repel crystal constructs and distance themselves from the room.
The explosion’s roar sounded, silencing a charging heavy cannon. Although retreated, the blast’s shockwave still approached the group. However, under the White Wolf Deity’s timely Barrier Shelter, none were harmed.
