Chapter 84
"I was wondering where you little brats had gone to. After all, there's no way that door would be ineffective... Turns out it's hidden here."
Monks was still lazy and seemed not to take those high school students seriously.
As he said this, he even casually glanced at the depths of the crystal not far away, allowing Gu Qingming and others to instantly determine the location of the sniper Skaya.
Gu Qingming: ...There is too much disharmony within Ceope. If Monks hadn't been like this every time he met him, he would have almost suspected that Monks was an undercover agent of CPA.
Skaya didn't respond to him, and neither did Gu Qingming and the others.
The former used the sound of gunfire to express that he now only wanted to capture these high school students who had old and new grudges. It was obvious that in the original plan, he and Monks did not need to enter the secret realm at all. They only needed to throw Zheng Qiuji in as a prop to threaten Cao Sheng.
However, no one expected that the power that Zheng Qiuji erupted at that moment was so strong, so strong that even Skaya, an adult male, could not break free and was forced to fall into the secret realm together.
Gu Qingming turned his hands around the moment the bullet was fired, and Chang Ge appeared beside his hand. The green wind quickly helped him find a good position and fired the bullet towards Skaya's hiding place.
Monks showed a look of astonishment. He suddenly looked up at Gu Qingming. The blue screen under his hands kept flipping with garbled characters, but he did not make a move.
Gu Qingming felt a little strange.
With Monks's ability, it is impossible for him not to react. Could it be that this guy... is really an undercover?
The CPA did have an undercover agent in Ceobah, otherwise they would not have been able to quickly grasp Ceobah's actions and send reinforcements in time.
The translucent crystal was hit by Skaia's own bullet, and an explosion as violent as the one in the snow just now exploded in the cluster of crystals spreading on the rock wall. This time, it was not loose snow that scattered everywhere, but sharp crystals.
Scarya rolled out from the crystal cluster. Gu Qingming chose the position very accurately. The bullet exploded right above the opponent. The sharp crystal fragments scratched Scarya's body and made many cuts. The sniper, who was usually taciturn, looked at the high school students and began to curse.
"How can you cooperate when I ask you to, Monks?!"
"I didn't have time to react."
Monks spread his hands, perhaps feeling that he had indeed gone a little too far this time, and he quickly added a few more words.
"Don't worry, they are just a few high school students. Based on the level we fought with them last time, they are definitely no match for us. Besides, Sha will be here soon and will be able to control Zheng Qiuji again soon and complete the task assigned to us by the boss."
Monks explained again and again, and it seemed that this time even he began to regret it because of the pressure from his boss.
"I'm telling you, if you fail this time, you'll have to bear the boss's wrath yourself."
Skaia wiped the blood from the wound on his face, and looked hatefully at the four high school students who were running towards the Crystal Cave School not far away.
"I'm just a high school student, why is it so troublesome?"
Monks frowned and looked at the shadows from a distance, then caught up with Skaia.
"Is this Cao Sheng... so capable?"
"Oh, so what if he has the ability? As a human being, he can withstand the seal of the underworld. That guy won't last long. He is nothing to be afraid of."
Skaia lowered his voice unhappily. He did not notice Monks's momentary shock. He turned his palm and the huge mysterious gun appeared in his hand. The blue mechanical light pattern turned, and Skaia began to aim while struggling to catch up in the snow.
Monks tilted his head slightly, and after realizing that Gu Qingming noticed his movements, he turned deeper into the crystal cave, as if it was a hint.
Gu Qingming was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and regained his composure.
A fluorescent tide of water rushed over, and Chu Zhongyuan tried to use space to divert the flying bullet, but the condensation of space takes time after all. Zheng Qiuji applied another layer of Word Spirit, and the bullet rushed towards Luo Dong. Luo Dong was knocked down in the snow by the impact and pointed upwards.
The cries of four-legged animals were heard outside, and it seemed that the puppeteer who had met them once in Heshu Town would be here soon.
Gu Qingming looked up and saw a huge icicle hanging high above the crystal cave, almost about to lose balance and fall, blocking the way between the four of them and Skaya.
In the green wind, even the speed of the bullet seemed to be slowed down. Gu Qingming was nervous and at the last moment he threw the bullet towards the hanging ice.
Monks and Skaia were unaware of the situation and were just thinking about their next move when they heard the sound of bullets exploding automatically from high above.
This time, there were some strange and heavy sounds like something cracking.
"Retreat quickly!"
As a sniper, Skaia shouted and Monks hurriedly ran back. The huge icicles hanging in the crystal cave wall were shattered in an instant after the suspension was exploded, causing a chain reaction. The icicles and snow surrounding the entrance of the crystal cave wall collapsed in an instant, including those not very solid crystals, which shattered into pieces.
Chu Zhongyuan solidified a space barrier, carrying Zheng Qiuji's words and standing in the front. The four high school students retreated quickly and orderly towards the depths of the crystal cave behind them. Those things could not stop the three senior wandering psychics for long, and they had to quickly meet up with Boss Cao and the others in the secret realm.
“Ahem—”
Outside the cave entrance, snow and fog filled the air. After it gradually subsided, Monks struggled to dig a hand out of the snow. The figure in the black robe and the four-legged puppet beast jumped up and down a few times and flipped over the messy snow around them, leaving no trace.
With a stern face and wearing a mask, Sha pulled Monks out of the snow with disgust.
"It's really bad that you guys let Zheng Qiuji escape."
There was no sound of sadness or joy in Sha's voice, but the sarcasm was obvious.
"...Those high school students are too cunning..."
Skaia rubbed his forehead and stood up shakily from the snow. He looked extremely disheveled, but the precious gun in his arms was still as shiny as new.
"The boss said before not to let any more unexpected factors get involved. I'm afraid you two are doomed this time."
Sha said this without any sadness or joy, but Monks could clearly see the gloating in the puppet.
Four-legged beasts in groups of three or four surrounded the blocked cave entrance, as if looking for traces of the high school students.
Sha bent down and touched the four-legged puppet beasts. "They said that those people are heading deeper into the cave."
"No other way, hurry up and chase after him."
The blue screen garbled code in Monks' hand finally showed its effect. Skaia took aim and shot at the pile of debris that blocked the entrance of the cave.
The bug started working, and soon, the hole cleared by the explosion was fixed by Monks' supernatural power, and no more broken crystals and snow fell.
"Chase!"
Sha simply threw a word to his two colleagues and rushed forward with the four-legged beasts.
On the other side, Chu Zhongyuan and others were running while receiving treatment from Luo Dong. The crystals exploded, and coupled with the strength of the two wandering psychics, the four high school students were also more or less injured.
Pain spread from deep within their bodies, but they were almost used to the feeling.
From being stimulated by Luo Dong's special ability and screaming in pain in the beginning to being able to continue on their journey without changing their expression now, even the four-member group can feel their own rapid progress along the way.
"Monks is undercover."
Gu Qingming spoke as he and Chu Zhongyuan were at the rear.
"Undercover?!"
Luo Dong couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but he quickly reacted and thought about his previous abnormal behavior.
"really."
Chu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement. Many of Monks' actions were on the line of being explained by both mistakes and intentional acts, but the hint just now indicating that they should continue to go deeper into the crystal cave helped him confirm this.
Because according to CPA's exploration of the Holy Tomb of Snowland XI, the depths of the crystal cave are closer to where the snow bells are stored.
The water town Snow Bell is stored in the deepest part of the underground of this secret realm. Unlike the wooden box made of the sacred tree, its mysterious fluctuations are extremely obvious. Gu Qingming and others who have walkie-talkies made with CPA mysterious technology can determine the location of the water town with a simple glance at the real-time concentration map of the mysterious factor.
Boss Cao's ultimate goal is to organize Ceobe to steal the Water Town Object, so they must be there.
According to the boss who appeared in the dream, Boss Ceobe wanted to find the owner of the secret realm, and then find the water talisman from the owner of the secret realm. No matter what, in the dream, it was the owner of the secret realm who was willing to expose his own position to help them block the attack. In addition, Teacher Cao and the others must be there too. Even if the depths of the secret realm will become more and more dangerous, they have to go.
The four people did not dare to stop for even a second. The crystal cave was extremely spacious, but the path was winding and winding, going up and down. If it weren't for the walkie-talkie that measured the concentration of the mysterious factor at any time, they would have gotten lost here long ago.
From time to time, the sounds of the three Ceobs chasing behind them could be heard through the overlapping cave walls. With the help of the mysterious factor concentration map, they finally got rid of the three pursuers and finally broke free from the "maze" that lasted for who knows how long.
In the fine snow mist, there seemed to be a faint "ding-ling" sound of bells, which reminded Chu Zhongyuan and Gu Qingming of Sanfu who was sleeping in Linling Laoshugou Village.
At the end of the curved cave wall, the wind whistled past as if it was cut off by a sharp sword, and the cave surface ended abruptly.
After going around a cave entrance that was one person high in front of them, a rock platform about 20 square meters appeared in front of them.
Below the platform is a cliff that seems to have no end.
Small pieces of stone fell off the stone platform as the four people moved, and fell from a great height. It was unknown how much time had passed before a vague muffled sound of stone hitting the ground was heard.
