Chapter 881 Opening the Altar
"Forests? The Sun Moon Empire has a complex terrain; why are they transporting so many supplies into the forests?"
Shen Ciyuan always felt that there was something strange about this matter.
Luo Xinyao glanced at the map of the looted supplies and then stopped paying attention, instead taking a closer look at this branch of the Evil Soul Master.
The locations where evil spirit masters operate certainly have great investigative value.
"Based on the experience and intelligence of a senior, evil spirit masters are extremely cunning, and every base must have tunnels and underground spaces! The tunnels have been discovered, but there are still underground spaces. Everyone, look for them. These underground spaces are controlled by mechanisms, so be careful!" said Flying Squirrel.
"Thank you, senior!" Chen Zifeng picked up his Soul Chasing Sword and manipulated it to search the vast manor branch.
Unlike Chen Zifeng's impatience, Yao Haoxuan bowed respectfully to the flying squirrel, saying, "Thank you for your righteous help, young hero. Shrek Academy will surely repay you!"
"No need, no need. Speaking of which, that senior also came from your academy, but he was truly a great man!" Momonga said with a look of admiration.
By gathering these people who lurk in the shadows and offering them generous treatment and guarantees, it was an exchange of benefits, but it was an act of upholding justice and demonstrating righteousness!
There's money to be made, evil spirit masters to kill, and rewards for killing them—isn't that killing two birds with one stone?
"Someone from Shrek Academy?" Yao Haoxuan secretly remembered this.
Ye Nanxiao usually appears at the Aodu Chamber of Commerce as Mu Shiyi, but only a handful of people know his true identity.
Although Feisquirrel mentioned Shrek Academy without specifying whether he was a student there, attending a class at Shrek Academy could be considered as coming from Shrek Academy.
Members of the royal families of the three great empires often did this, all for the sake of that title.
Another issue is the time frame. Yao Haoxuan doesn't know how old the adult that Feishu mentioned is, but over the years, Shrek Academy has not only produced too many geniuses who have graduated, but also had a lot of people who audited the classes.
This is a range that cannot be calculated.
Before long, Chen Zifeng discovered the entrance to the underground space.
"They put it in the kitchen? Is it for convenience to cook food when you're hungry?" Shen Ciyuan took a twig and opened each of the jars piled up in the corner of the kitchen to check for any dangerous items inside.
Chen Zifeng slashed several times with his sword, cutting a large hole in the door to the underground space of the kitchen.
Below the first door, there is another stone door carved with evil spirits, and this stone door requires special means to open.
Yao Haoxuan dragged the corpse of the evil soul master titled Douluo towards the stone door.
Even if a Title Douluo loses his soul and life, his body will retain its vitality for a short period of time.
The crimson blood was absorbed by the evil spirits on the stone gate, but the stone gate has remained silent for a long time.
"Is it possible that we're using the wrong method?" Shen Ciyuan asked.
"Really? That's how we eliminated those evil spirit master strongholds in the outer circle before, using blood as a trigger. Why doesn't it work here in the branch hall?" Yao Haoxuan asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Perhaps those previous strongholds were just small-scale operations? This is indeed the first stronghold we'll be targeting." Chen Zifeng gripped the Soul-Chasing Sword tightly, brandishing it at the stone gate, trying to see if he could cleave it open with a single strike.
"Yu'an, what do you think?" Flying Squirrel asked a hunter beside him.
The hunter codenamed Yu'an stepped forward, examined the stone gate for a while, then looked at the evil soul master's corpse in Yao Haoxuan's hand. After thinking for a long time, his gaze fell on the right hand of the evil soul master's corpse.
"The ring on your right hand is not a storage ring." Yu An noticed that there were no traces of a core magic array engraved on this evil spirit ring.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zifeng raised his hand, ready to strike down the evil soul master's right hand with his sword.
"Hey hey hey! Don't rush!" Yao Haoxuan took out a mechanical arm from his storage belt, put it on his left hand, and the three-clawed mechanical arm slowly removed the demon ring.
"Here, the third demon from the top right corner has a slightly sunken left eye," Yu An said.
Following Yu An's instructions, Yao Haoxuan placed the evil spirit ring over the left eye of the evil spirit statue.
The demon ring suddenly vibrated and then adhered to the left eye of the demon statue.
The machine's sound rang out, and the stone gate slowly rose.
"Flying Squirrel, get out the jack. This stone door must be one of the mechanisms, the kind that closes after you go in." Yu An reached out and compared the stone door, which was at least ten centimeters thick.
The flying squirrel responded and took out two huge jacks from its storage soul tool, each four meters wide, enough to lift the stone door.
"Dude, you used to deal in illicit goods, didn't you? You're so professional!" Shen Ciyuan said in surprise.
Yu An calmly looked at Shen Ciyuan and said, "Detective Coke, you probably didn't finish your elective course, did you?"
"Uh," Shen Ciyuan whistled.
The Audu Merchant Guild offers hunters a wealth of knowledge and skills, allowing many to learn and improve their abilities. Of course, some also slack off.
For example, a special operations agent.
As the group entered the space behind the stone gate, they found that this underground world was as large as a metal storage warehouse in the outside world, large enough to hold thousands of people.
The fact that thousands of evil spirit masters can hide underground is a terrifying story.
"This is troublesome. In such a large space, there must be at least a thousand evil spirit masters gathered here. We need to hurry, find something of value and leave, and destroy the tunnel!" Yu An said with a serious expression.
The crowd nodded and dispersed.
The primary objective of destroying the evil spirit master's stronghold is to eliminate the evil spirit masters within the stronghold, and the secondary objective is to destroy the core magic array within the stronghold that creates and teleports evil spirits.
Such large-scale magic arrays are usually not hard to find. Chen Zifeng and his team searched for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before they discovered this altar-like structure.
"Found it! Come quick!"
Apart from the members who stayed at the entrance and in the tunnel, the rest of the people quickly moved towards Chen Zifeng.
"Yes, this is the altar. The information Nanxiao brought back to the academy back then is the same as the altar in front of us!" Yao Haoxuan said excitedly.
"On that platform, there's the Holy Spirit Flag and the crystals that store souls!" Chen Zifeng floated in the air atop his Soul-Chasing Sword and spotted the stone platform on the altar, where the Holy Spirit Flag and the crystals, crucial to the grand formation, were placed.
Yu An carefully examined the altar before him, confirming that it was exactly as described in the documents. Only then did he urge everyone to put on their protective suits and prepare to destroy the Holy Spirit Flag and the crystal.
Ye Nanxiao once brought a Holy Spirit Flag back to Shrek Academy for research. Although he still couldn't crack its core technology, he did manage to figure out how to destroy the soul tool.
"Old Zhang, lend a hand!"
Yao Haoxuan brought out a large drilling laser-type soul guide and gently placed it on the ground.
Even though they were moving very quietly, everyone still felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly.
The latest novel is first published here!
This shows how enormous the weight of this soul tool is.
One member of the Shrek Squad ran out to help Yao Haoxuan move the soul tool.
Chen Zifeng briefly floated in the air on the Soul-Chasing Sword, holding a snake-shaped mechanical arm in his hand, and carefully picked up the Holy Spirit Flag from the stone platform.
The moment the Holy Spirit Banner left the stone platform, the altar's array suddenly lit up, and distorted symbols gradually illuminated.
"Continue! I'll handle this!" Yu An took out a pair of fine iron rods from his pocket, flashed in front of the bricks of the altar, and randomly tapped with both hands, removing a brick to reveal the metal plate underneath.
The fine iron rod glowed faintly, and Yu An, with quick eyes and hands, forcibly carved the remaining paths on the metal plate, modifying the overall direction of the core magic array.
The core magic array of the altar was forcibly modified, and the crystals stored on the stone platform suddenly floated up, stumbling and about to fly towards the circular brick in the center.
"The formation's self-protection mechanism! Agent!" Yu'an shouted.
Shen Ciyuan waited for a long time, and the Cold Moon Mirror in his hand flew up, a cold light was projected from the Cold Moon Mirror and shone on the crystal.
"The moon in the mirror!"
Shen Ciyuan murmured, his figure gradually becoming ethereal and transparent, like ripples on water.
The crystal also became ethereal and transparent, eventually piercing through the bricks of the altar and spinning and hovering around the circular brick.
Yu An glanced at Shen Ciyuan and realized that those who became agents all had some strange abilities.
The moon in the mirror can temporarily detach objects from reality. Shen Ciyuan nodded to Yu An, signaling the latter to hurry up.
The two thin iron rods in Yu'an's hands were completely forged from Soul-Breaking Stones and inscribed with a special destructive core magic array, in order to forcibly change the already activated core magic array.
The bricks and stones at the altar nodes were lifted one by one, revealing the metal plates buried underneath.
Chen Zifeng placed the Holy Spirit Flag below the drilling laser-type soul guide.
A triangular mechanical claw descended and split open, revealing a thin blue laser beam, slightly thicker than a hair, shining onto the Holy Spirit Banner.
"Sizzle sizzle"
A burning sound rang out, and wisps of smoke rose from the Holy Spirit Banner.
Yao Haoxuan kept a close eye on the progress of breaking the Holy Spirit Flag, his eyes never blinking.
The flying squirrel maintains constant contact with the team members above in case of emergencies.
About an hour later, with a "crack" sound, the Holy Spirit Banner tore apart inch by inch.
Yu An finished his work, twisting the entire magic circle circuit of the altar to ensure it would not be activated again, and then lay down on the ground, panting heavily from exhaustion.
"Alright...alright, put away this broken crystal! Go back and destroy it!" Yao Haoxuan was also numb from squatting, and lay on the ground, not wanting to move.
Chen Zifeng quickly took out a large safe, but when he opened it, the interior space was only the size of a human head.
Shen Ciyuan shifted the space within the mirror moon, aimed at the safe, and activated his soul skill.
The crystal fell into the safe, and because it could not sense the Holy Spirit Flag and the altar, it began to tremble erratically.
Chen Zifeng quickly closed the box and activated the thirteen security measures on the safe.
"That's a wrap!" Shen Ciyuan called out weakly as he lay on Luo Xinyao's vines.
He used the Moon in the Mirror, a semi-domain soul skill, for almost an hour. If he hadn't had a good foundation, he would have been completely drained long ago.
