() The weakness continued to disappear. Electrolux seemed to have extracted enough power, and the speed at which the golden runes appeared gradually accelerated. The snow girl's original white and transparent body gradually began to gain a layer of golden light, and Her source of consciousness, which was originally fluctuating violently, miraculously stabilized.
Huo Yuhao could feel that in his Dantian, the originally transparent liquid bead was coated with a layer of gold, which seemed to isolate all the energy inside the liquid bead.
This feeling is very strange, as if the power that could be broken at any time has been locked, and the expression on the Snow Emperor's face has become calmer and calmer. The original cold temperament became much softer. ..
Something strange seemed to be ignited in Huo Yuhao's heart. He slowly closed his eyes. Even he himself didn't know exactly what caused his enlightenment, but in this state, he was immersed in his spiritual world. The consciousness in the sea gradually entered a meditative state.
Mingde Hall.
Standing in the underground base, Jing Hongchen almost broke his steel teeth. What he saw in front of him could only be described as shocking.
The entire underground base was like land that had just been plowed before sowing, with a mess everywhere. Less than a third of those expensive experimental tables are still intact, and more are damaged and disfigured. All kinds of rare metals can be seen everywhere, and the underground base is completely riddled with holes. ..
What depresses Jing Hongchen the most is that due to the shock of the previous high-intensity battle, the terrain of the underground base has begun to become unstable, and collapse is not impossible. Now he is directing people to strengthen the underground base, and he will stabilize it first.
Since its establishment, Mingdetang has never experienced such a heavy blow. Not to mention the casualties and casualties, the loss of hardware facilities was astronomical. Mingde Hall is not his own! It is the soul guidance device research base of the entire Sun and Moon Empire! And he is also responsible for the important task of making high-end soul guides. Even with his status in the Sun and Moon Empire, the royal family is still responsible for such a big accident. He has to endure a lot of pressure.
"Ti Zong, Ti Zong!" Jing Hongchen's eyes spit fire. The previous pursuit was fruitless, and only halfway through the pursuit, the body master was poisoned and the tunnel collapsed. The people of Ti Zong are prosperous.
Jing Hongchen immediately mobilized the army and put the entire city under martial law. But he himself knew very well that this had no practical significance. With the strength of the strong men of Ti Zong, how could the army be able to stop it?
"Hall Master." Lin Jiayi came to Jing Hongchen's side with a trembling voice. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.
"How is the situation?" Jing Hongchen tried his best to calm down his mood.
Lin Jiayi lowered his head and said: "The situation at the warehouse is not bad, nothing is missing, and all the high-level soul tools stored in it are in place."
Listening to what he said, Jing Hongchen let out a sigh of relief. Finally, I heard some good news. It seemed that the purpose of Ti Zong's trip was the hundred thousand year soul beast embryo. They actually dared to use the entire sect's strength to launch a surprise attack. This revenge must be avenged.
"But..." Lin Jiayi said two more words that made Jing Hongchen's heart tighten again.
Suddenly turned around and looked at his capable subordinate, "But what? Don't hesitate, explain clearly."
Lin Jiayi gritted his teeth and said with a trembling voice: "But, the experimental subject is a The number is missing..."
"What?" Jing Hongchen felt his eyes go dark. His body swayed and he almost fell, so Lin Jiayi hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
Jing Hongchen felt as if the sky was falling, and his chest felt so tight that he felt so sad that he felt like he was going to die immediately.
"You, you say it again." This time. Even his voice became a little shaky.
Lin Jiayi said in a trembling voice: "Experimental Subject No. 1 is missing. Hall Master."
Jing Hongchen said "Wow", spurted out a mouthful of blood, and fell directly into Lin Jiayi's arms.
What does Experimental Subject No. 1 mean? It means the highest achievement of the entire Mingde Hall's research on soul guidance devices, although it is still only a semi-finished product. But it is equivalent to the culmination of thousands of years of research on soul guidance devices by the Sun and Moon Empire!
Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Jiayi with a pale face, and his eyes were full of fear. He could rely on his prestige in the Sun and Moon Empire to suppress the fact that Ming De Tang was attacked and caused heavy losses, but the theft of Experimental Subject No. 1 was something he could never afford. This is already a major matter related to the safety of the entire country.
Taking a deep breath and barely suppressing the surging energy and blood in his body, Jing Hongchen whispered: "Who else knows about this?"
Lin Jiayi hurriedly shook his head, Said: "I personally went to Laboratory No. 1 to check. After discovering that Experimental Subject No. 1 was missing, I immediately closed the door of Laboratory No. 1 and changed the access password. I reported it to the police."
Jing Hongchen managed to calm down his mood and said, "Well done. No one can know about this."
"Yes." Lin Jiayi hurriedly agreed.
Jing Hongchen’s face turned red and white for a while, and he already hated Ti Zong in his heart. His only hope now is that the technological content contained in Experimental Subject No. 1 is too high and cannot be used at will. Once the body is disassembled, a self-destruction device will immediately be triggered. This is to prevent theft. Now it seems that the original choice was correct enough.
But even so, the loss of many precious metals is still an astronomical figure. Fortunately, Mingdetang has a very high degree of autonomy. As long as this matter is not exposed, there is always hope of recovery.
Forcing himself to stand up straight, Jing Hongchen’s originally irritable eyes calmed down in the face of the crisis.
"Jiayi, here is my order. Everyone present today must keep their mouths shut. Anyone who dares to spread the word about what happened today will be killed without mercy."
"Send people to all large auctions, including our country, and pay attention to all high-end auctions. If Experimental Subject No. 1 appears, immediately take it back at all costs."
"Yi Mingdetang In the name of the mercenary guild, all mercenary guilds and killer guilds are offered a high reward for the heads of all sect members."
After saying this, Jing Hongchen paused for a moment and said: "Injured. Except for the disciples of Mingde Hall, all members of Mingde Hall who are in good health have entered a state of emergency mobilization to repair the underground base as soon as possible at all costs. You told several elders that you would trouble them to rebuild the defense of Mingde Hall. There can’t be any more blind spots, understand?”
"Yes." Lin Jiayi agreed quickly. Seeing that Jing Hongchen had regained his composure, he felt relieved.
As if he suddenly remembered something, Jing Hongchen asked urgently: "How are the exchange students at Shrek Academy? Especially the one named Huo Yuhao. Did they suffer any casualties in this battle?"
Lin Jiayi is also a thoughtful person. He had already guessed that Jing Hongchen would ask about this and had already investigated it before.
"At Shrek Academy, Fan Yu, and Caitou went out to test the soul guidance device, and were not in the base. The other students were also outside the experimental area, and the initial explosion did not affect them. They are all very cunning, and they used We retreated to a safe area as quickly as possible and did not participate in the previous battle. Several people were injured, but their injuries were not too serious. Our medical soul instructor also checked him. Although he was in a coma. , but the body was not hit too hard. He was probably knocked out and just needed a period of rest to recover."
Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's fine if that's the case. If something happens to the people in the college, it will be worse. Tell them to go down and take good care of them so that no problems can arise."
After a moment of hesitation, Lin Jiayi said, "Master, tell me if this will happen. Is it a collusion between Shrek Academy and Ti Zong? How can Ti Zong be able to determine the location of our underground base so accurately, especially where Experimental Subject No. 1 and the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo are located? The defense of the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast Embryo may be filled with evil spirits!”
Jing Hongchen glared at him fiercely and said: "Idiot. I didn't know there was a mole? But it was definitely not done by Shrek Academy. Are you filled with shit in your head? Are the people from Shrek Academy just like that?" Do you know where our 100,000-year-old soul beast embryo is? They can't enter the real core area of Mingde Hall. Moreover, Shrek Academy is still holding me hostage. Maybe they don't know this. They will be applauded after the incident, but it was definitely not what they did. Do you think they have a good relationship with Ti Zong?”
“Okay, do what I tell you as soon as possible. Minimize the negative impact of this incident. It seems that I really need to pay a visit to His Majesty the Crown Prince." As he spoke, Jing Hongchen strode forward with a strong spirit. go.
Even if Mingdetang has tried its best to suppress the news, how could such a big thing be hidden?
Within a few days, news of the raid on Mingde Hall and the heavy losses had spread across the mainland. Although the Riyue Empire did not officially say who did it, their target can be seen from the fact that Mingdetang immediately issued a killing order to Ti Zong.
For a time, the continent shook. The three countries that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent all applauded and applauded. Although they don't know the extent of Mingdetang's losses, for them, this is definitely a good thing!
The Emperor of the Riyue Empire was furious after learning about this. His poor health tended to worsen. Jing Hongchen, the leader of Mingde Hall, was severely punished and his title of Duke was removed. If it hadn't been for Prince Xu Tianran's excuse, I'm afraid the punishment would have been even more severe. As soon as the attack on Mingde Hall came out, the prices of high-end soul tools on the mainland plummeted, but the prices of rare metals increased significantly. For a time, there was a lot of rumors. (To be continued.)
