The thick fog made it impossible for them to see their surroundings clearly; even the appearances of their companions were blurry.
Some timid students could only lie under the laboratory table and timidly release the protective shield to protect themselves.
Some brave researchers wanted to escape, but they couldn't find a way out.
One laboratory table after another was overturned, and some people bumped into each other while trying to escape.
Frightened voices rose and fell in the thick fog, and the entire underground base fell into chaos.
Jing Hongchen sensed the chaos in the underground base and his face was gloomy.
Although he didn't know who the attacker was and didn't recognize Earth-Splitting Douluo, he could tell that this was a Titled Douluo with earth attribute. Under the ground a hundred meters deep, the other party was like a fish in water.
However, since its creation, the first generation master of Mingde Hall had already considered the possibility of being attacked by powerful earth-attributed beings, so this underground base would not collapse so easily.
Jing Hongchen immediately shouted loudly: "Everyone, don't panic. The underground base has a stabilization device of the ninth-level soul guide, which can withstand powerful attacks for a long time."
"All soul engineers below level seven, stay calm and leave Mingde Hall in an orderly manner. Soul engineers above level seven who are responsible for confidential experimental projects above this level, all return to their own laboratories to protect the projects."
"The rest of the Mingde Hall warriors, follow me."
A faint and intimidating command sounded from above the underground base. Although everyone could not see Jing Hongchen's appearance, just hearing his voice reduced their panic a little.
The students gradually calmed down and steadied themselves on the spot. They believed that the powerful people led by Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, would drive away all the attackers.
"Yes, Hall Master."
After hearing Jing Hongchen's order, the other strong men did not think much about it. They responded and went to their respective duties.
The thick fog could block his vision, but it couldn't block Jing Hongchen's Titled Douluo-level mental power. He could feel that the three auras that were no weaker than his own were all escaping to his office.
"Drip-drip-"
A piercing alarm sounded from him. It was the sensor device where the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryos were stored. At this moment, it was chirping wildly, indicating that the Titled Douluo with the Agility Attack Beast Martial Soul had already come into contact with the Conferred God Platform.
"Hall Master, you are here again for the hundred thousand year soul beast embryo." An eighth level soul master said with a frown.
"Don't be impatient." Jing Hongchen said coldly, "This hall master has said that you are just three Titled Douluo and you can't take away the things of my Mingde Hall."
He is very confident.
In a head-on battle, with all the powerful men from Mingde Hall here, those three Titled Douluo would never be their opponents.
Therefore, their plan must be to quickly obtain the 100,000-year soul beast embryo and leave immediately. With the ability of the earth-attributed Titled Douluo, it would be impossible to find them after he dived deep underground.
Thinking of this, a hint of contemptuous sneer appeared on Jing Hongchen's fat face.
Ever since he used 100 million gold soul coins to buy the 100,000-year soul beast embryo, three groups of strong men from different forces have attacked Mingde Hall in order to snatch the embryo.
Unfortunately, none of them returned.
Mingdetang is known as one of the three major forces on the mainland, and it is not in vain.
There were not many attackers this time, only three of them, but they were all Titled Douluo-level warriors. Although it was a little beyond Jing Hongchen's expectations, he was still confident that he could keep them here forever.
Jing Hongchen and other strong men quickly chased the three attackers, and on the floor, among the group of bewildered researchers, there was a figure that no one noticed.
That figure was naturally Huo Yuhao. Relying on spiritual detection, he did not lose his sense of direction even in the thick fog.
The direction he was heading was naturally Jing Hongchen's office.
However, Huo Yuhao deliberately slowed down his pace because soon there would be the battlefield where the three Titled Douluo and Mingde Hall powerhouses such as Jing Hongchen would be stationed.
In the sea of spirit, Bingdi could no longer control his usually calm heart. He clenched his fists, and it seemed that he might leave the sea of spirit at any time due to impulse.
Tian Meng looked at her anxiously from the side: "Bingbing, calm down. It's not time for you to take action yet. We will definitely rescue Xue Di."
"I am very calm." Bingdi said coldly, but her restless mental fluctuations revealed her inner restlessness.
As Huo Yuhao walked forward, he said calmly, “Ice Emperor, you must prepare for the worst.”
Bingdi was stunned: "What's your plan?"
"It is very likely that we will get nothing this time." Huo Yuhao said.
"Don't we have those three Title Douluo to help us attract attention?"
Huo Yuhao said calmly: “I don’t think those three Titled Douluo can be a match for Jing Hongchen and the others. And looking at Jing Hongchen’s unhurried look, it seems that he doesn’t take those three people seriously at all.”
The Ice Emperor was silent for a while, then said firmly: "No matter what the result is, I will seize this opportunity."
In a few breaths, the Titled Douluo of the Agility Attack Department had already broken into Jing Hongchen's office.
He is called Black Feather Douluo, his martial soul is a beast martial soul called Black Feather Demon Eagle, which is extremely fast. In addition, he majored in the soul master route. Although his cultivation level is only 91st level, his personal strength exceeds that of Jing Hongchen, who is 93rd level.
At this moment, there was no thick fog in Jing Hongchen's office. Black Feather Douluo did not stop at all, but turned into a giant black bird and swooped down to the ground.
The floor, which had been reinforced layer by layer, could not withstand the full-force attack of a Titled Douluo. Just as Black Feather Douluo had expected, there was no thick layer of soil under the floor, but an independent secret room.
This secret room is not big, about thirty square meters. In the center of the secret room, there is a strange wooden tray decorated with more than a hundred gems of various colors. On the wooden tray, there is a ball of white air sealed.
"The Conferred God Platform is indeed hidden here."
Black Feather Douluo was secretly delighted and rushed forward. Just as his fingers were about to touch the Conferred God Platform, an inexplicable sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.
boom--
With a loud bang, a terrifying energy wave came from the surroundings. Black Feather Douluo's face changed immediately, and he instinctively flew out of the secret room without caring about the Conferred God Platform that was about to be within his grasp.
A blinding red light flashed where he was originally, and a strong energy ray instantly pierced through the wall of the secret room.
"This is...a soul guide?"
Black Feather Douluo widened his eyes, unable to believe the power of that energy ray.
He had not expected that there would be such a powerful trigger-type soul guide device in the place where the Conferred God Platform was stored. Judging from its level, it should be level nine.
Black Feather Douluo was not good at defense. If he was swept by the ray just now, he thought he would be unable to resist and would be seriously injured on the spot.
The moment he flew out of the secret room, an eighth-level soul instructor from Mingde Hall had already arrived.
The eighth-level soul engineer wielded a giant sword-shaped ninth-level close-body soul guide and slashed towards Black Feather Douluo.
The eighth soul ring behind Black Feather Douluo flashed, and he flapped his wings, shooting out several black feathers like sharp arrows.
These black feathers may seem light, but they can easily penetrate the throat of a ten-thousand-year soul beast, and should also be able to easily penetrate the body of an eighth-level soul engineer.
But just as the black feather was about to touch the body of the eighth-level soul engineer, a golden light enveloped him.
An invincible shield blocked these black feathers that were like deadly weapons, protecting the eighth-level soul master. He continued to attack with his giant sword.
"Invincible shield?"
Black Feather Douluo frowned slightly and dodged backwards. In his eyes, the speed of these soul masters was too slow and he could easily make fun of them.
But just as he dodged backwards, a strong feeling of numbness surged through his body.
Tong Kong shrank suddenly, and saw that his retreat had been cut off by a large net of paralysis rays formed by several eighth-level soul masters without him knowing when.
Black Feather Douluo knew that he must not fall into siege, so he suppressed the numbness and the three spirit rings behind him flashed together, turning into a black lightning and breaking through the encirclement of the Mingde Hall warriors.
Jing Hongchen had also arrived. He looked coldly at the direction where Black Feather Douluo fled and snorted.
The aftermath of the battle destroyed Jing Hongchen's office. Thick fog flowed in through the damaged hole and soon spread into the secret room.
Under the cover of thick fog, an agile figure emitting cold air sneaked in quietly. It was the Ice Emperor.
When Black Feather Douluo attracted the firepower of the Mingde Hall strongmen, she had already sneaked into the secret room.
She acted alone this time, and Huo Yuhao was silently releasing mental detection for her in a safe position hundreds of meters away.
"Finally, this emperor finally..."
Trying his best to restrain his breath, he sneaked into the secret room and approached the Conferred God Platform. Bingdi could no longer contain his excitement.
Her and Huo Yuhao's spiritual power penetrated into the Conferred God Platform like a thin thread. When she felt that familiar breath, the Ice Emperor couldn't help but fall into a daze, and even her hands began to tremble.
"It's her...it's really her..."
Bingdi had an urge to cry. She could feel her own illusory human heart beating at a high speed and could not stop.
She had a glimmer of hope in her heart that this hundred thousand year old soul beast embryo might be another snow girl. However, the aura before her was very familiar to her.
Although she was excited, she did not lose her mind. Instead, she took a deep breath and stretched out her right hand towards the trigger-type soul guides.
Extreme cold air slowly emanated from her hands, penetrating every pore like a trickle.
The target of these cold air is the core magic array parts of those ninth-level soul guides.
She tried hard to recall the knowledge about soul guides that she had learned in the past three months, and attempted to sever the connection between the main body and the power part of these soul guides.
The core formation of the ninth-level soul guide is particularly complex and has protective devices. The Ice Emperor cannot completely destroy it and can only look for the weak points in it.
She had just witnessed the terrifying power of these rays and did not dare to be careless at all.
Suddenly, Bingdi seemed to realize something, and his emotions fluctuated strangely, and the rhythm of the cold air he controlled in his hands was disrupted.
"Bingbing, what's wrong with you?" Tian Meng noticed Bingdi's abnormality and whispered.
"I'm fine." Bingdi quickly regained his composure.
Her control over the cold air was extremely precise, and she quickly found the weak points in the core formations of those soul guides.
It seemed that Bingdi could already see himself succeeding.
However, just as she was about to destroy several ninth-level soul guides, a powerful aura broke through the wall of the secret room and headed straight for the Conferred God Platform.
The Ice Emperor's expression changed involuntarily. The huge right claw of that figure was about to touch the Conferred God Platform.
It was the Earth-Splitting Douluo who drilled into the ground.
The half-destroyed soul guide was suddenly triggered, and several terrifying red lights began to condense.
"asshole!"
The Ice Emperor cursed angrily and grabbed Earth-Splitting Douluo's neck with his right claw.
With her current strength, she didn't dare to withstand the power of the ninth-level soul guide. Moreover, the plan that was about to succeed was destroyed by an outsider, which made her feel an unbearable murderous intent.
Earth-Splitting Douluo also sensed the strong energy fluctuations that were condensing. He was about to raise his hard claws to defend himself when he suddenly shuddered all over. He felt an inexplicable and terrifying chill going down his neck and into his brain, and his whole body stiffened.
Earth-Splitting Douluo didn't know when this powerful aura appeared. He only knew that if he didn't use all his trump cards, he would definitely die. Immediately, the eighth and ninth soul rings behind him flashed at the same time, and his already tall and sturdy body seemed to be covered with a layer of rock armor.
Boom, boom, boom——
Those energy rays all hit Earth-Splitting Douluo.
Earth-Splitting Douluo vomited blood immediately, but he did not die. He relied on his own defense to absorb all the energy rays.
