Chapter 2115 - 1623: Discovery

Kavise held up the Crystal Stone, raising it bit by bit.

When the height reached a certain level, it seemed to trigger a mechanism.

The two giant peaks simultaneously shot out a dazzling beam of light, converging on the Crystal Stone held aloft by Kavise.

In an instant, the Crystal Stone burst forth with brilliant rays, projecting a beam onto the plain ahead.

At that moment, the unremarkable Scarlet Plain’s entire surface rippled with a glow, revealing a sun pattern.

Then, the ground began to shake violently!

Crack!

The ground at the center of the plain began to sink according to a pattern, and soon, a massive staircase leading deep underground emerged.

Everyone watched this scene, taking a deep breath.

"Indeed, there is a passage."

"Let’s go!"

Kavise suppressed his excitement and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Morrick and the others eagerly operated their Mechas, following in excitement.

...

----------------------------------------------------------

VI Planet Level Fortress·God’s Forbidden Zone.

An area not covered by surveillance.

Coret and Yue Ji were whispering to each other.

"Are you sure? Did you see clearly?"

"Absolutely, I saw it clearly. The master took advantage of your assembly to return to the lab once."

Yue Ji responded confidently.

"I understand."

Coret’s eyes flashed with a hint of cold light as he replied.

.....

Elsewhere, Su Mo personally searched a utility room.

Cough cough~

At this time, Sun Duoxiang emerged from the vent above, coughing as he spoke.

"Boss, there’s nothing unusual inside the ventilation duct."

"Good work, move on to the next place to search."

Su Mo was not surprised at Sun Duoxiang’s response.

"Come on, boss! This Fortress is so huge; searching every duct area could be deadly!"

Sun Duoxiang estimated a bit and felt overwhelmed.

Kendi rarely spoke, saying, "Boss, I don’t think it’s possible to hide in the duct area. According to your master’s words, the thing we’re looking for should be recognizable at a glance, something very conspicuous, perhaps a large object."

"I know."

Su Mo replied solemnly.

"Really, boss? You know, yet you still want me to crawl in the ducts?"

Sun Duoxiang found himself amused and exasperated.

"But there’s really nowhere else to search, so we’re trying our luck to see if there’s any additional discovery."

Su Mo patted Sun Duoxiang on the shoulder and sighed, admitting his helplessness. They had been scouring the base for more than ten days with no results.

And the old man firmly believed there was no mistake, insisting that the item was in this Fortress. Thus, they continued their search, gritting their teeth.

Just then, a gray light sphere holographic projection suddenly appeared before Su Mo.

"Su Mo."

"Xiao Shi? What’s up?"

Su Mo was slightly taken aback as he looked at the suddenly appearing Xiao Shi.

"No need to search anymore, Attic found it. The old man is on his way there now, you should hurry over too."

"Alright, give me the location."

Su Mo was startled upon hearing Xiao Shi’s words, not expecting Attic to be the one who found it.

Xiao Shi then sent the location coordinates to Su Mo’s electronic bracelet.

Su Mo glanced at it and immediately led Sun Duoxiang and the others there.

As they got closer to the destination, Su Mo heard urgent footsteps all around, indicating that others were also heading there.

Soon, at the next intersection, Su Mo collided with Adomo’s group.

The two parties exchanged glances but directly ignored each other, continuing to rush forward.

Not long after, Su Mo and Adomo’s group arrived at the entrance of a giant storage vault.

This storage vault entrance was exceedingly spacious, with a height of at least 1000 meters and a width of 800 meters. Its metal gate was a full ten meters thick.

Attic’s subordinates were guarding the entrance and tried to stop Su Mo and company.

"No entry!"

"Get out!"

Adomo charged in directly with his men.

Su Mo followed suit without needing to speak.

Upon entering the storage vault, Su Mo and the others paused slightly.

The vast storage vault was completely empty.

However, they quickly noticed that the old man and others had gathered at the far end of the vault, quickly walking over.

"Quite the keen nose."

Attic sneered as Su Mo and Adomo arrived.

"You were just lucky, also who’s to say it’s really found?"

Adomo retorted unwillingly.

Su Mo ignored their sarcasm and instead followed the old man’s gaze to the special metal wall ahead.

The entire wall faintly revealed special black patterns.

The old man stared at this wall, his eyes never leaving it, seemingly indicating that they had truly found it.

At this moment, more footsteps approached; Coret and Kathuler rushed over.

Seeing them, Attic and Adomo ceased their argument, replacing it with alertness.

After all, comparatively, Coret and Kathuler were stronger.

Everyone gathered fixated on the metal wall and the old man in front of them.

Each person quietly awaited.

After a dozen minutes, the old man hoarsely spoke.

"Attic."

"Yes, master."

Attic responded excitably, honored that the old man mentioned him.

"You did well."

The old man replied satisfactorily.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, their hearts stirring; clearly, the old man’s words indirectly confirmed the discovery.

"It’s my duty."

Attic hurriedly pledged his loyalty.

The old man nodded slightly, then hoarsely spoke again: "Alright, convey my order: Su Mo stays, everyone else withdraws beyond the vault, and waits outside!"

This command was like a thunderclap, stunning Attic and the others.

Even Su Mo was taken aback, never expecting the old man to leave him behind, thrusting him into the spotlight.

Adomo and others fixed their eyes on Su Mo, wishing to tear him apart.

"Master?"

Attic reluctantly spoke.

"Did my instructions lack clarity? All of you out, any complaints can be addressed later."

The old man spoke authoritatively.

Coret’s cheeks twitched slightly, then he led the exit.

Kathuler took a deep breath, feeling a bit stifled, but complied with the old man’s command.

As for Attic and Adomo, though unwilling, they too withdrew.

Soon, the vault only housed the old man and Su Mo.

The old man spoke in a low voice.

"Xiao Shi!"

"Here!"

The holographic projection of the creator·Swallower appeared.

"Seal off the vault’s gates, watch the entrance, don’t let anyone in!"

The old man issued a hoarse command.

"No problem."

The creator·Swallower responded decisively.

Rumble~
