When Fang Yuanyuan heard about Leon's situation, she remained silent for a while. "Let Leon rest well during this time, and we'll reward him properly later."
She didn't like Leon; if it weren't for his abilities, she would have terminated the contract long ago.
However, considering he completed such important research, giving him a friendly welcome isn't out of the question.
Fang Yuanyuan's narcissism went unnoticed by An Ge, who looked at the exhausted Liu Tingxue with a pang of heartache.
"We can leave after you've rested, why the rush?"
Liu Tingxue was indeed exhausted. If it weren't for her good physical condition, she wouldn't have been able to sustain such a long period of research.
However, she had a qi-boosting and blood-tonifying pill, which she could take occasionally to quickly restore her strength. Although she still looked tired, she was almost fully recovered internally. Moreover, she was in exceptionally high spirits at the moment and did not feel tired at all.
However, she wouldn't let such a rare opportunity slip by.
"An Xiaoge, although I'm very tired, I'm glad I didn't let you down. I'm fine, I just need to rest a bit. I just hope we can get out smoothly from here on out."
An Ge was somewhat moved, and the thought of not trusting Liu Tingxue before made her feel even more guilty.
"Don't worry, we will definitely succeed." Touched, she vowed to do her best to help Liu Tingxue should she encounter any difficulties in the future.
Hu Jiu rolled his eyes at Liu Tingxue's affected manner. Considering her genuine affection for An Ge, he decided not to expose her.
For these mixed-race individuals, there are two major obstacles to leaving smoothly.
First, the magic rings on their bodies have now been removed.
Secondly, there are bloodline detection devices everywhere near the dungeon, and these devices will sound an alarm if any hybrid leaves without permission.
Therefore, despite being an important location, the guards here are the ones who are most likely to let their guard down.
However, the second point was nothing to Liu Tingxue. During her time in the laboratory, besides researching potions, she also took the time to refine some pills to suppress one's aura.
However, due to the difference between the two planes, these pills cannot completely conceal the mixed-blood aura, and they will still attract attention if detected at close range.
But if you're careful, you can leave the dungeon safely.
That night, An Ge and the others had already drugged the guards and quietly led everyone away from the dungeon.
Hu Jiu had already figured out the route here, and everyone followed him to hide and evade detection without triggering the bloodline detection device.
With the gate right in front of her, An Ge felt a little unreal.
Although her last trip went smoothly, she had an invisibility talisman and was alone then. This time, she brought several hundred people with her.
No matter how careful so many people are, it's impossible for them to remain completely silent. But so much time has passed, and not only have those powerful mages disappeared, but even ordinary guards have vanished.
It was much quieter this time compared to the last time we went out.
Something's not right, something's really not right!
Hu Jiu also noticed the anomaly. He raised his hand and stopped the group from advancing.
"An illusion?" The two exchanged a glance and said in unison. Although there was a hint of doubt in their voices, they knew that they had likely fallen into an illusion.
Liu Tingxue's understanding of illusions was not as good as An Ge's. It was only after An Ge's reminder that she noticed something was amiss.
"We need to get out of here before Fang Yuanyuan finds out. I've set up a teleportation array near the dungeon. We should be able to leave before Fang Yuanyuan arrives." An Ge forced herself to calm down.
She usually used illusions to deal with others, but she never expected to fall into someone else's illusion one day. What she found strange was that there were no traces of any formations around her.
Liu Tingxue whispered a guess, "Is it that divine servant who practices illusion magic?"
An Ge nodded. "If nothing unexpected happens, it's him. However, I didn't find any trace of an array. Either the opponent's array level is very high, or his illusion technique doesn't need an array at all."
The former is unlikely. Although An Ge's array level is not very high, she has the advantage of talent. Even if it is an ancient array, she can still sense some traces of the array.
Just when they were about to succeed, they ran into an illusionist. Even An Ge couldn't help but complain that her luck was just too bad.
Hu Jiu frowned; he seemed to know what was going on.
Outside the illusion, a man with short black hair leaned against the wall, watching the anxious crowd with amusement.
The man was in his early twenties, handsome and pleasing to the eye, but his ruthless gaze ruined that beauty, making him appear gloomy.
Isaac never expected that his aimless stroll in the neighborhood would lead him to witness a mass escape of mixed-race individuals. There appeared to be several leaders of unknown strength, so he intervened and trapped them.
Seeing their bewildered expressions, Isaac was in high spirits. He had always been confident in his illusion magic, so he hadn't planned to inform Fang Yuanyuan in the first place.
As Fang Yuanyuan's divine servant, he had never made any particularly outstanding contributions. The two legendary mages mentioned above, needless to say, at least possessed formidable combat power.
I heard that Lyon has completed the experiment and will definitely receive attention.
He alone, despite possessing exceptional illusionary skills, was always outmatched. Now that these thieves had stumbled upon him, weren't they just handing him free credit?
"It's time to end this!" Isaac's eyes were dark and sinister, as if a vortex was constantly devouring something. With the change in his gaze, Ange and the others also encountered danger.
"Do you feel like something is watching us?" An Ge had a bad feeling.
"It's just a little bug."
Just as An Ge was about to ask Hu Jiu, she saw a vortex suddenly appear in the sky, followed by clusters of black flames descending from the heavens.
There was a moment of commotion in the group as everyone felt the power contained in the flames and lost their composure.
The dwarf-hybrid, a man of many knowledges, pointed tremblingly at the sky, “This, this is the dragon’s flames! We’re doomed, completely doomed! We can’t possibly defeat the dragon.”
Dragon? An Ge raised an eyebrow. This world actually has such a creature.
In her mind, dragons represent justice, mystery, and power. Because of her past life experiences, she has a natural affinity for dragons and cannot possibly call them "evil."
An Ge slapped his forehead, realizing he'd almost forgotten that this was a Western fantasy world, and the dragons here were no good.
As the heavenly fire was about to descend, Hu Jiu waved his hand, and a transparent protective shield appeared above them. Countless black flames crashed into the shield before disappearing.
Isaac, who had initially thought he had struck with a single blow, suddenly changed his lazy demeanor and exclaimed, "How is that possible?"
This is his life-giving fire, and even the defensive equipment forged by a master craftsman cannot completely stop it. With the added blessing of the illusion, even a legendary mage could stumble if he is not careful.
Why was that man able to defend against it with just one simple move? Who exactly is he?
Anger flared in Isaac's eyes, and his playful mind turned serious; no one, no matter who they were, would be able to escape his illusion.
