Chapter 1154: Another Group of People?

Another Group of People?

It hadn't been too long since the Exploration Team entered Shennongjia, but someone had already guessed that the abilities of the Nine Monarchs might be related to their respective research fields, and even specially made arrangements to counter them. This point made Chen Ling somewhat surprised.

Moreover, since the other party was doing this, it showed they were already trying to grasp the movements of the Nine Monarchs. At least in their eyes, the missing Yang Xiao, just like Lu Xun, had been labeled as an "unstable factor".

"Is there an ambush..." Lu Xun's brow furrowed slightly. "Charging in forcefully is not quite realistic. Since that's the case, we can only think of other ways..."

"No need."

The three people Lu Xun were taken aback, simultaneously turning to look at Chen Ling,

"I'll go in from the front. You guys guard the other exits around, just don't let them secretly transfer the person."

"Director Chen, you want to charge in forcefully from the front? It's too dangerous!"

Under the flickering street lamp, the Great Crimson Theatrical Robe calmly walked towards the dark deep mountains. A Bone-Stripping Knife gently slid into his palm... Who knows if it was the illusion of the three people, that red figure seemed to be emitting some kind of extremely terrifying Aura.

...

Deep Mountain Laboratory.

Inside the spacious laboratory, an Aged Figure wearing a protective suit slowly picked up a bottle of blood flowing with a mysterious faint light, his brow furrowing tighter and tighter.

"How is this possible..." Professor Ye muttered to himself.

"Professor Ye, have you discovered anything?" Another tightly dressed assistant immediately asked.

"I need a batch of white mice."

"Yes, Professor Ye, they have all been prepared for you."

The assistant walked outside the laboratory door and said something to the figure standing guard outside. In no time, over a dozen iron cages containing white mice were brought in.

"Professor Ye, before you arrived, we already extracted Dr. Chu's blood and injected it into biological specimens... But none could survive past three minutes. Dr. Chu's blood seems to be highly toxic to other creatures." The assistant proactively reminded, seeming not to want Professor Ye to waste time on these experiments.

Professor Ye didn't respond, just slowly walking to the experimental table, conducting chemical extraction and dilution on that bottle of blood...

After a long time passed, he finally respectively injected several different reagents into the bodies of this batch of white mice.

"Time." Professor Ye asked.

"19:48."

Professor Ye picked up a stack of analysis reports on the table, carefully flipping through them. Those were the research data on Chu Changqing by other personnel during this period. At this time, all had been summarized and delivered to Professor Ye's hands.

Time passed minute by minute and second by second. Soon the first white mouse let out a miserable hiss, as if going crazy frantically gnawing at the cage, biting out deep marks one by one, then bursting open like a bloody flower on the spot!

Immediately after, the second and third ones also began to show anomalies...

The assistant at the side while carefully observing the reactions of the white mice, lowered his head to record, seeming not surprised at the end of these white mice.

The primitive mechanical clock silently turned on the wall. The slender second hand was like the scythe of the grim reaper, gradually harvesting the lives in the cages. Professor Ye sat on the wheelchair, from time to time casting his gaze at the clock...

As if waiting for something.

...

"Time's up."

At the entrance of the tunnel, several fully armed figures slowly walked out, respectively going to different sentry posts along different directions. "Changing guards!"

The figure on the sentry post let out a long sigh of relief, completely relaxing. While handing over work to his colleague, he whispered:

"I say, the manpower recently is so little, is there really no problem?"

"Why do you care so much? Just stand guard when told to stand guard... Moreover, I heard that besides us, there are also some experts hiding in the mountains. They are the people truly guarding this place."

"Experts... those martial arts experts in TV dramas?"

"How would I know?"

"Alright, alright, I'm leaving first."

As the colleague left, the figure on the sentry post skillfully picked up the Telescope, looking into the distance... Just at this moment, he seemed to have discovered something, letting out a soft sound of surprise.

"Is that a person?"

In the thermal imaging Telescope, a figure was approaching the entrance of the tunnel, and for some unknown reason, his imaging was different from other humans. In the Telescope, he was like a humanoid black fire emitting terrifying heat all over his body.

It was still the guard's first time seeing this kind of imaging. He blankly put down this Telescope, and looked over using another Telescope. Under the dim faint light, he could barely see a ghost-like red-clothed figure, slowly approaching here step by step.

"Damn it... in the middle of the night, is it this creepy??"

He muttered. In the next moment, the gaze of that red-clothed figure faintly looked over here.

The guard's scalp instantly went numb. He immediately grabbed the gun beside him in his hand. Just as he was about to open his mouth to issue some warning, a bizarre red python drilled out from that person's cuff, slashing across a hundred meters in an instant!

Squelch——

Blood-color splattered on the sentry post. A figure fell straight down from the air.

"Enemy attack!!!" From several other sentry posts, loud shouts rang out. Who knows how many muzzles were raised simultaneously, pulling the triggers at the red-clothed figure!

Da da da da da——

Tongues of fire frantically spewed in the darkness. Dense bullets tore through the night color.

Red Paper tentacles flew and danced in the air, casually deflecting all the bullets. Chen Ling gently swept his eyes over all the sentry posts, spinning the Bone-Stripping Knife in his hand downwards.

"Crush."

In the next moment, those high platforms that had been built up all seemed to be directly crushed by extreme gravity, collapsing with a loud boom!

Dust flew up in the darkness. In just a short moment, all the hot weapon sentry posts were completely wiped out...

To Chen Ling, breaking through these sentry posts was simply as easy as flipping his hand. What he truly cared about, were those Divine Path Possessors hiding in the dark... However, in this era, the Rank of Divine Path Possessors was generally not high. Relying on Chen Ling's current strength, killing his way through here shouldn't be any problem.

Chen Ling slowly walked through the ruins of the sentry posts, but didn't see anyone come out to stop him. A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Strange...

Could he be overthinking?

There was fundamentally no decent defense arranged here?

Just as Chen Ling planned to directly charge into the tunnel to take a look, a roaring explosion suddenly sounded from the other side of the mountain body!!

BOOM——!!!

The terrifying Torchlight of the explosion shot straight up to the clouds, dancing wildly like a fire dragon, actually forcefully chiseling through the mountain body and the earth. At the same time, several Divine Path Oppressive Auras suddenly descended!

Chen Ling was stunned. He stood in place, his face full of blankness.

"Director Chen, why did you make a move from the other side of the mountain?" Yang Xiao's voice sounded through the phone, seemingly also very puzzled.

"... It's not me, I haven't made a move yet."

"Not you?" Yang Xiao was also taken aback for a moment,

"Strange... besides us, who else has their eyes set on this laboratory?"
