Chapter 300 Hidden Tower
After the artificial saint disappeared, the last few bronze knights remaining at the scene were quickly wiped out, leaving only Yu Sheng and his group left on the devastated streets.
This situation is obviously unsatisfactory.
"Just ran away? After being beaten like that, she disappeared in the blink of an eye?" Irene jumped down from Yu Sheng's shoulder and ran to the place where the artificial saint was standing last. She looked around and shouted angrily, "How can she teleport after being beaten like that?!"
Xuan Che still had his sword emitting cold energy floating behind him. He had not let down his guard until now. After hearing Irene's complaint, he also frowned: "It doesn't look like ordinary teleportation. It looks more like the 'return' technology I have heard of."
Yu Sheng was stunned when he heard this: "'Return'? What the hell is that?"
"It is said that the latest model of artificial saints has a technology that can set up a 'holy coffin' for emergency repair and self-protection in advance. Once they suffer heavy damage while performing tasks outside, they will be instantly teleported back to the 'holy coffin'. But I have only heard of it, and this is the first time I have seen it," Xuan Che said honestly, with a little surprise on his face, "So this is how it works... I should think of a countermeasure."
"What the hell! Is he so shameless?" Irene was completely shocked. "Why is this C-shaped buckle so bad..."
Xuan Che frowned and said, "As far as I know, the so-called 'holy coffin' actually has limitations. It cannot be effective from too far away, and it can only be effective once in a short period of time. Logically speaking, the place where the mechanical man escaped and hid should be nearby. Let's look for him carefully..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Sheng's voice rang out from the side: "Indeed, it's nearby."
Hu Li, who was sniffing around trying to find the enemy's whereabouts, stood up immediately after hearing this and looked at Yu Sheng with shining eyes: "My benefactor, do you know where she ran to?"
A faint smile appeared on Yu Sheng's face. He looked around at the thick fog that was slowly gathering again. His mood gradually improved - because just now, he once again felt the clearer connection transmitted by the blood mark.
"She's a good runner," Yu Sheng said happily, walking slowly towards somewhere, "No wonder... if she hadn't run, I really wouldn't have found her."
He stopped in an open space and reached out his hand to feel in the air, as if trying to touch a hidden door.
And this is exactly where the residual power of Xuan Che's first punch swept through.
Yu Sheng realized that he was not mistaken before, there really was something hidden here - hidden very well, but now the resonance of blood penetrated the hidden curtain, and in his "vision", this empty place was faintly flashing a dark red line.
He finally found the "boundary" where the "line" was, and then simply reached out and pulled it - just like inserting his hand into a slightly open door, and began to pull it open to both sides little by little.
The thick fog around them instantly accelerated its flow, and a turbulent and malicious atmosphere gushed out from the invisible cracks, accompanied by a series of disturbing piercing noises. Irene widened her eyes in surprise, and saw Yu Sheng forcibly "pull open" a door with a faint dark red glow in the air. The door became wider and wider, and large areas of spider-web-like cracks quickly emerged in the space around it as the door opened! The cracks in the air spread to a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye, and then continued to spread rapidly to the distant streets, to nearby buildings, to the sky and the ground. A huge, dark red spider web like a "cocoon" appeared out of thin air in the thick fog with an amazing and oppressive momentum, and finally enveloped the entire block. A shocking wound had appeared on the surface of this "web cocoon", and the source of the wound was the crack that was gradually torn open in Yu Sheng's hand! "Wow, this thing is pretty solid!" Yu Sheng felt a huge resistance, but he didn't stop moving his hands. Instead, he felt a great desire to win because of the resistance. In the end, he simply put one foot on the crack and used his whole body to make the wound bigger and bigger. His face was as excited as a child, "Hey! Show me! Let me see what you are!"
Xuan Che, who was standing by, was stunned. A force he had never seen before was interfering with his consciousness. When Yu Sheng tore open the curtain with his bare hands, he even seemed to hear some huge space structure wailing like it was dying. Yes, the curtain was wailing. It had no life, but it was dying quickly, and then it finally collapsed with a sound like glass breaking! The huge "cocoon" was torn apart, and a small wound caused a chain reaction of collapse of the entire structure. The spider-web-like dark red lines were torn into pieces, exploding in all directions like a violent storm. The thick fog shook violently, and the original street scene was distorted and scattered like a collapsed stage background. A hidden space was finally exposed to everyone.
Irene: “…What the hell!?”
When the curtain dissipated, she saw an open space covered with dark matter. The gray land with a rocky texture was dotted with strange lavender crystal clusters, like an ugly and strange scar inlaid between the city's buildings. Various large and small crystals turned into a hideous and weird "jungle", and in the center of this jungle, stood a tall tower.
It was a giant tower with an atmosphere of mystery and darkness. The towering and majestic tower body seemed to be made of countless black stones, yet it had a faint metallic texture. In the sky there were many smaller towers or "branch structures". Those branch structures were all floating near the tower, connected to the main tower by many extremely slender-looking bridges or even chains.
When Irene tried to look up at the tall tower, she noticed that the upper part of the tower seemed to always have a vague "texture" that was like a visual dislocation, as if there were several illusions of towers overlapping each other. After just looking at it for a few seconds, she felt dizzy.
After retracting his gaze, the little puppet asked three soul-searching questions: "What the hell is this! What should I do with it! Where did it come from!"
Even Yu Sheng, who tore the curtain apart with his own hands, was stunned when he looked up. Although he noticed the hiding place of the artificial saint, he did not expect to see such an amazing sight after breaking this barrier. At this moment, he could only spread his hands when he heard Irene's shouting: "I don't know!"
"Has this thing been hiding in this thick fog?" Another Irene also ran over and climbed onto Yu Sheng's shoulders nimbly while saying quickly, "No one has found it for such a long time... Oh my god! This is as exciting as suddenly finding a nest of cockroaches in the cupboard when you are cleaning your house!"
Yu Sheng shuddered instantly: "Don't say such terrible things!"
Hu Li also ran to Yu Sheng's side at this time, looking up at the tall tower and said, "My benefactor, what should we do next? Do you want to go over and take a look?"
Before Yu Sheng opened his mouth, the little puppet on his shoulder immediately shrank its neck: "Are you really going? The style of this thing doesn't look right... I feel like there will be monsters spawning everywhere."
Hu Li thought for a moment and said, "But the C-shaped buckle may be hidden inside."
Irene: “That brings me back to the point…”
Xuan Che frowned the moment he appeared from the giant tower. He stared straight ahead, and after a long while he suddenly broke his silence: "That's it!"
Hu Li and Irene fell silent instantly, and looked over at the same time. Yu Sheng was the first to speak: "Huh?"
"Remember I mentioned that in the past one or two years, traces of the Chongsheng Hermitage have been discovered several times in the border areas of the star region under the jurisdiction of Taixu Lingshu?" Xuan Che said quickly, "On one occasion, the mountain protectors saw a huge tower when they destroyed the hideouts of those evil demons - but the tower was not completed at the time, nor was it hidden. Instead, it was built in a large cave underground. I have seen the images recorded at that time. If the tower was completed, it should look like this!"
Irene was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to look at Yu Sheng: "Do we have to go in and take a look?"
Yu Sheng raised his hand and knocked the doll's head: "You are stupid, you should report it to the relevant department first! Just one clue can cost tens of thousands!"
As he spoke, he had already taken out his cell phone - it was obvious that his values were very normal here.
Irene opened her eyes wide: "But isn't there no signal here?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Yu Sheng casually open a small door from the air next to him. Opposite the small door was the living room of No. 66 Wutong Road.
Then, Yu Sheng quickly edited a message on the border communication reporting platform, then held his mobile phone across the small gate and pressed send.
Irene: “…”
When Yu Sheng turned his head, he met the stunned gazes of Irene and Hu Li - Xuan Che didn't react at all, because he didn't have enough understanding of the wonders of No. 66 Wutong Road.
"Why are you looking at me?" Yu Sheng frowned.
Hu Li was delighted: "My benefactor is indeed very sharp-minded."
Irene's response was more direct: "...You are such a talented person."
"Hey, that's it. These are all basic operations." Yu Sheng shook his phone nonchalantly and put it away. "Okay, the report has been sent. Next, we'll find a safe place to hide and wait for the response from the Secret Service."
Irene was very surprised when she heard this: "Ah? You're not going in? I thought you were going to go in and investigate the situation after you reported it - this doesn't fit your usual style of action."
Yu Sheng: "What is my usual action style?"
Irene thought for a moment and said, "It's not a pity to die like that..."
Yu Sheng: “…That’s not how this word is used!”
