"arrive!"

The sorceress looked at the strange yet peaceful Dafang Village before her, put away her compass, and stood in front of the village gate.

"It's...here. Aren't those people afraid of dying?" A man with a scar on his head asked, his voice trembling. He didn't even dare to look into the village.

Everyone in the village knows that it's better to sit in the cemetery than to pass by Dafang's gate.

"Go back if you're afraid of dying!" A vicious old man wearing small round sunglasses shoved the man aside, and paced back and forth in front of the gate of Dafang Village, counting on his fingers: "The hexagram of 'Opposition', the ninth line at the top, the extreme of the hexagram of 'Opposition', things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extreme... Hehe, these two have planned quite well, but unfortunately you won't last until then."

After saying that, the old man directed the scarred man, saying, "Go up the mountain and catch a few zombies, grind their teeth and nails into powder and bring them back."

"Okay...okay..." The scarred man nodded. He was good at catching zombies, but he didn't believe for a second that he could break into this village of the dead.

"I'll go in and take a look around first. You stay here and watch over him." The sorceress took out a mourning stick wrapped with several layers of white cloth and walked towards the side of Dafang Village.

"Hmm." The old man nodded, kicked Lu Yuan who had been thrown to the ground, and a sinister look appeared in his eyes.

Lu Yuan cooperated perfectly throughout the journey. Rather than saying he was captured, it would be more accurate to say that he suddenly lost his way in the forest and ended up running into their arms.

This matter seemed a bit strange, but the other party did help them find Lin Feng and the others without posing any threat. However, the old man always felt uneasy, which made him think of Lu Yuan's face every time he thought of him.

If it weren't for the thought of using Lu Yuan to threaten the other party later, the old man would have wanted to crush the other party's head right now.

A short while later, the sorceress returned, holding a small ghost in her hand, her expression extremely grave: "Something's wrong. All the zombies and evil spirits in this village have disappeared... leaving only a few delirious wandering souls."

The old man looked at Lu Yuan with a sinister gaze: "Boy, do you know where they went?"

The sorceress grabbed the wandering spirit in her hand and stuffed it into her pocket. Her sharp, narrow eyes instantly spotted Lu Yuan peeking at her.

"I don't know, they didn't say anything..." Lu Yuan lowered his head, not daring to speak loudly, and pleaded timidly, "I really don't know, they said before that it was too dangerous here, and then they took me away."

"Anything else?"

The sorceress pinched Lu Yuan's face with her fingers, squeezing him tightly, trying to find something.

"And there's more..."

Lu Yuan trembled with fear. For a moment, he seemed to remember something. He raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then hurriedly avoided the two men's gloomy gazes: "They seem to have found something in the village. That guy in black stayed here for two hours before catching up with us."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he quietly recalled the events of his journey.

The tacit understanding between Lin Feng and Si Zang would always interrupt his plans. If these two were even slightly selfish, even slightly inconsiderate of each other, or even able to ignore him in the face of a crisis, it would cause a crack in this trust.

Once trust is broken, he can pin both people to the ground.

Although he envied the other party for being able to establish such a stable cooperative relationship in the Nightmare Space, it also made his killing intent reach its peak. Since he was now on the opposite side, he could not allow such a team to continue to grow!

At this moment, the sorceress looked at the old man with a strange expression: "What could Dafang Village possibly have..."

The old man lowered his head, looking thoughtfully down the road into the depths of Dafang Village, his eyes seemingly seeing something unknown to others.

Really?

Lu Yuan also noticed the old man's unusual expression and couldn't help but show some curiosity.

After a short while, the old man withdrew his probing gaze: "I don't know, but I've heard from others that there's gold here."

Gold? !

Just then, the scarred man returned and heard the two words the old man uttered. He gripped the zombie tooth powder wrapped in a cloth tightly in his hand.

"Here you go, all done."

Greed was evident in the scarred man's eyes. After handing over the item, he stood steadily to one side.

The old man took it, used the slender fingernail on his little finger to open the cloth, and stirred it a few times in the zombie tooth powder: "I will use the zombie tooth to ruin his divination later. You take them in together and catch that Taoist priest first."

The sorceress nodded, slightly hunched over, took out a small pair of scissors and cut off Lu Yuan's hair, then took out a dark, unsightly object and stuffed it into his mouth.

Lu Yuan's body stiffened instantly, a bluish light appeared on his face, and he stood up straight.

"Walk!"

After giving the order, Lu Yuan strode forward straight and was the first to enter Dafang Village.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the village, three fourth-generation Dragon Rider mechanical soldiers were the first to step into the Jiang family compound and rushed into the entrance to the underground palace behind the compound without hesitation.

At another entrance to the underground palace, beside a hole that looked like it had been dug out, two Terminator T3010s lost their footing and plummeted rapidly into the hole.

Soil, rocks, tree roots, dead bones...

The t3010, with its heavy body, forcefully carved a path through the excavated tunnel and stepped heavily onto the bottom of the tunnel.

"Snap!"

The insects and snakes among the tree roots were awakened, and several fierce snakes immediately flicked their tongues toward t3010.

Unaffected by this, sharp blades emerged from the t3010, swiftly severing the snake's head. The snake's head then ejected from the t3010, transforming into two small probe flying devices.

Before long, the flying device followed the tunnel to a broken stone wall and silently slipped inside.

As the flying device flew away, a glimmer of light flashed through the cracks in the stone wall. A huddled mechanical spider turned the camera on its head and continued to monitor the direction of the cave entrance.

On the other side of the monitor, Lin Feng was looking at the notification that had lit up on the screen.

This underground palace was enormous. In their imagination, an underground palace might be about the size of a basketball court, but the first entrance alone was already the size of a stadium.

The idea that this world contained ghosts and magic made them readily accept these things.

They were currently at the deepest part of the underground palace, on a small path found by the mechanical spiders that avoided all the dangerous areas within the palace.

Nevertheless, the current location is not so safe. Several ghostly spirits fly by from time to time, searching for any aura that does not belong to this space.

drop...

A message from Sizang appeared on the screen.

“Deep within this underground palace lies a broken dragon vein. Strangely, although this dragon vein is broken, dragon energy still lingers.”

"The rocks are treacherous, ugly, and rugged, with sharp branches and broken, crooked shapes... hidden beneath them. This dragon vein is no ordinary place; it is associated with killing. Those buried here are mostly slayers and butchers."

"You'd better be careful, and whatever you do, don't go towards the main hall later."

Lin Feng quickly replied with an "Mm," then looked again at the robots that had entered the underground palace.

Aside from these, several cyborgs familiar from the cyber world appeared outside Dafang Village, including the fourth generation of Dragoon-type mechanical soldiers.

It's clear that the other side has upgraded the technology twice. The outer armor has a touch of moving luster, and the shape of the four arms has been simplified a lot. The two arms on the back are embedded in the body of the machine. Without careful observation, you would not recognize that this is the enemy that forced them to use nuclear bombs to kill in the mine.

Besides this, what he cared about most was the prototype of the biological virus, A.

This is the only enemy that, along with Project Amplification, has only appeared in one model; the others are all mass-produced.

Based on previous information, this prototype armor is more in line with bio-virus skills and is likely Lu Yuan's true form. However, the information about this armor is basically zero for them, and they couldn't even find any relevant information in Ironclad 99's database.

As Lin Feng continued to ponder the details, he also saw the sorceress leading Lu Yuan into the Jiang family's gate.

The scarred man had somehow produced a blackened butcher knife, and even the naked eye could smell the chilling stench of blood emanating from it.

The three entered one after the other. Lu Yuan, who was being manipulated, leaned forward like a puppet, pointing his finger at a side door leading to the back of the Jiang family's courtyard.

That place is exactly the closest to the entrance to the underground palace.
