Fang Cheng's eyes wandered among the chaotic crowd, always keeping alert in his heart.
This treasure hunting operation was weird from the beginning, and there were many things that were questionable.
Not to mention the horrific scene where Golden Benba Vase releases a fatal light and swallows the flesh and blood of living people.
Recalling that before entering Underground Vault, the guards along the way were well-trained and considered elite.
But the overall attack rhythm and defensive measures always feel like they have been deliberately planned.
It neither caused overwhelming firepower and forced everyone to retreat, nor did it appear to be a bluff, allowing foreign enemies to easily break through the defense line.
It was as if he was following a certain script to make this treasure hunting drama go on smoothly.
In the end, he deliberately guided everyone step by step to reach this Underground Vault that looks like "Slaughterhouse".
If no accident had happened, most of the people would have been tricked just now, having their flesh and blood sucked away by the so-called "treasure" and turned into unjust ghosts.
However, this carefully planned layout was eventually destroyed by his "alien".
When Black Robed Man recited Incantation, Fang Cheng relied on "Omniscient Language" Talent to keenly detect the existing problems.
That stone platform seems to belong to a mysterious magic circle, which is the key Formation Eye used to control the operation of Formation.
The Golden Benba Vase placed on top is obviously the core artifact that activates the magic circle.
Once it is allowed to function, the consequences will be disastrous.
That's why Fang Cheng made a decisive decision and shot Submachine Gun fiercely, knocking it down from the stone platform.
Now, after Golden Benba Vase is separated from Formation Eye, its blood-sucking ability has been significantly weakened, and it has lost its direct fatal threat.
The magic circle blooming Golden Orb also seems to have stopped functioning.
But Fang Cheng looked at the killing scene in front of him, and the ominous premonition in his heart did not dissipate.
Now, in order to compete for this treasure, both camps have suffered countless casualties.
Lu Family indeed lost a lot of manpower and lost rare treasures like Golden Benba Vase.
But what if their purpose is not to protect the treasure at all, but to cover up some ulterior purpose while everyone is frantically fighting for it?
Maybe he is testing the hidden mysterious power of Golden Benba Vase, or he is preparing to start some evil and taboo ritual...
The situation seemed to be shrouded in a thick layer of Mist.
Fang Cheng is in the middle of it and can't see clearly where the situation is headed.
But I was determined in my heart that this matter would never end easily.
"Haha."
Inside Surveillance Room, the fluorescent light of CCTV reflects the uncertain face of Lu Shihua.
He stared at the scene on the screen where everyone was frantically fighting for the gold bottle. When he saw someone's body being sucked into a "human fuck" by directly touching the bottle, he squeezed out a dry sneer from his throat.
"Golden Benba Vase is Saint Relic that has been passed down for thousands of years. How can it be destroyed so easily..."
Lu Shihua murmured to himself, seeming to confirm the situation, but also seemed to be mocking the ignorant treasure hunters.
After he breathed a sigh of relief, he turned to look at Lu Tao standing beside him, his eyes became sharp again, and he asked:
"How did you do with the tasks I gave you during the day?"
Lu Tao quickly bent down and replied respectfully:
"Manpower has been deployed at important positions around Mist Mountain. When those people started to attack Estate, they activated Mist Formation. Further actions will have to wait for your instructions Second Elder."
"Very good, now give the order to activate all the magic circles immediately and increase the power to the maximum!"
Lu Shihua praised, and then a trace of determination flashed in his eyes:
"Although the plan is not progressing perfectly and there are variables, human nature will not change after all. These people will eventually have to act according to the script we set."
After saying this, he raised his chin slightly, his expression returning to his usual calmness and confidence.
Lu Tao immediately straightened his back and echoed:
"Second Elder is wise, I will do it right now."
Seeing Lu Tao walking aside and using Walkie-Talkie to contact his subordinates, Lu Shihua's eyes flickered slightly.
Lu Family's original plan was to use the amplification effect of the magic circle to allow Golden Benba Vase to exert its powerful Mental Bewitchment ability, attracting treasure hunters like moths to a flame, and "delivering food to their doorsteps" in an endless stream.
They only need to wait for Golden Benba Vase to absorb enough Life Energy, and then use this as a basis to further implement the "Reverse Heaven and Earth" plan that is crucial to the family Fate.
Now that the preconditions have been artificially destroyed, remedial measures can only be taken in time.
Fortunately, the situation is still within control.
This group of Aberrant has gone crazy and killed each other in order to compete for Golden Benba Vase.
At that time, Golden Benba Vase can also be fed with their flesh and blood.
Lu Shihua thought of this, so he decided to implement the follow-up plan in advance to offset the impact of the damage suffered by Golden Benba Vase.
The only flaw is that this will slow down the progress of the entire plan.
However, Lu Shihua has been waiting for decades and doesn't care at all about waiting a few more minutes or hours.
"Humph, even if they notice the changes around them, it will be too late..."
Lu Shihua The corners of his mouth rose, and a hint of pride in control of the overall situation appeared on his face.
Suddenly, he thought of something very important, so he immediately turned his head and looked at the two monitoring personnel sitting in front of the screen:
"Since this afternoon, have you seen the black-clad Lama I mentioned appear?"
"Return to Elder, we haven't found it yet."
The surveillance staff answered carefully.
Lu Shihua heard this and stared at the screen with flashing snowflakes, frowning slightly.
The monitoring facilities were destroyed too much at once, otherwise it would not be blinding.
It has to be said that there are indeed hidden dragons and crouching tigers among these treasure hunters. Many of them can be regarded as first-class masters, and they disrupted the original plan rhythm time and time again.
Fortunately, he had anticipated it and had an emergency plan in place even if something went wrong in a certain link.
Lu Shihua's eyes were slightly focused, and his gaze passed through the screen as if it were real, and fell on Bald Guy who was wearing Evil Spirit Mask.
Could it be that... this guy is the master from the Black Sect?
However, how could he endure the temptation of Golden Benba Vase and still use a gun to Shooting unscrupulously?
After all, this thing is the Sacred Object that their Black Sect treasures and respects extremely!
Once it is damaged, the crime will be huge. How dare he act like this?
Lu Shihua I've been thinking hard Meditation, but I really can't figure it out.
Underground Vault Here, the battle is getting more intense.
The shouts of killing echoed together, making people's eardrums buzz and hurt.
"Get out of here!"
A roar sounded like thunder.
I saw a burly man suddenly Exert Force, like a bull, knocking away several people surrounding him.
This strong man had just grabbed Golden Benba Vase in the chaos. In a panic, he could only wrap it up with his clothes and protect it tightly in his arms, as if it was his lifeblood.
"Brother, go away quickly, I'll cover you!"
Another equally burly figure quickly stood in front of him like an iron tower, raised his fist as big as a bowl, and struck at the others who were chasing him.
The fist made a whirring sound, and every blow was accompanied by the "click" sound of broken bones and the screams of the enemy.
After a fierce fight, Golden Benba Vase unexpectedly fell into the hands of Black River Twins.
These two brothers, named Xiong Ba and Xiong Wei, relied on their natural supernatural powers to run rampant through the crowd, as if they were in a deserted place.
And as twins, they have the same mind and work well together.
At this moment, one person was responsible for grabbing the treasure and rushing out desperately.
The other man stayed behind to block the influx of pursuers and provide cover for his brother.
Xiong Ba used his special skill "Mighty Bull Strength" to cut his way through the crowd.
He ran smoothly to the door of the vault. When he raised his eyes, he saw Nail Head standing in front of him, blocking his way.
The anxious Xiong Ba immediately tensed up his muscles and opened his mouth to curse:
"A good dog stays out of the way!"
Nail Head stood there and glanced at him lazily.
Then he slowly turned sideways to get out of the way, seeming to be wary of Xiong Ba's power and unwilling to fight with it.
Xiong Ba was secretly happy when he saw this, and his steps became even faster.
I just want to escape from this place as soon as possible and return to the ground along the underground passage.
Then he rushed out of Estate, got into the car arranged in advance, took the baby away, and got away with it...
He had a wonderful thought, but before he could run very far, he heard a "whoosh" sound.
There was a sharp sound piercing the air behind my head, as if something was coming quickly.
Immediately afterwards, a Chain wrapped around Xiong Ba's neck like a poisonous snake.
Xiong Ba's eyes widened in horror, and his hands instinctively pulled Chain.
However, this Chain is actually sticky in the hand. I don't know what kind of material it is made of, and it is also covered with barbs.
His hands couldn't exert any strength at all, and instead they hurt.
Chain tightened tighter and tighter, Xiong Ba's face quickly turned blue, his eyeballs protruded, his tongue stuck out uncontrollably, and a desperate sound of "gurgling" came from his throat.
Immediately afterwards, his legs softened and he fell to the ground. After a few twitches, he stopped moving and died completely.
"Brother!"
Xiong Wei's eyes were about to burst, he roared in grief and anger, and tried to rush forward.
But as soon as he moved his steps, he saw Nail Head's snake-like gaze, and he couldn't help but pause.
Nail Head glanced at the corpse of Xiong Ba. There was no pity on his face, but a trace of satisfaction, just like a bloodthirsty demon tasting the sweetness of blood.
He used Chain to wrap up Golden Benba Vase, raised his arm slightly, and threw the bottle back in front of the chasing crowd.
That casual gesture seemed to say:
You keep fighting, I haven't seen enough yet.
Golden Benba Vase spun around on the ground several times, attracting everyone's attention again.
In an instant, a new round of craze was ignited.
The people who had just been temporarily frightened had greed in their eyes again, and they immediately pushed and rushed towards the golden bottle.
Not far away, the professor frowned and watched all this calmly.
At the same time, I silently communicated with Li Dingjian:
"This man with a nail in his head behaves very strangely. It's best for us to choose someone with more flexibility as our next target."
"Professor, how about we go to the back door and get around this troublesome guy?"
The voice of Li Dingjian then sounded in my mind and made a suggestion.
When the professor heard this, he immediately raised his eyes and looked in the direction where Black Robed Man had previously evacuated.
After thinking for a moment, he immediately agreed to go check out the specific situation first.
The two quietly walked around the crowd and walked to the closed Iron Door behind the stone platform.
With the blessing of the professor's ability, Li Dingjian easily cracked the door lock and opened the door.
Inside is an equally winding, dark and damp underground passage.
Judging from the direction, it should lead to the ground somewhere inside Estate.
The two looked at each other, nodded slightly, and immediately decided to pay attention.
In fact, the reason why Black River Twins was able to easily capture Golden Benba Vase just now and break through the siege.
The professor's contribution in this process is not small.
On the surface, he looked on with cold eyes, but in fact, he secretly used his mental abilities to disrupt the minds of other treasure hunters, which gave the two brothers Xiong Ba and Xiong Wei an opportunity to take advantage of them.
At this moment, the professor's eyes were fixed on another alternative target in the plan.
International Jewel Thief, nicknamed "Mike".
He saw the right opportunity, repeated his old tricks, secretly interfered with several treasure hunters, and helped Mike successfully snatch Golden Benba Vase.
At the same time, a thought was instantly transmitted into the other party's mind:
"Friend, the back door has been opened. You can evacuate from here. I will stop the pursuers for you."
Mike's heart moved and he immediately turned around to look.
He saw an ordinary and familiar face, smiling at him.
Speaking of which, when everyone attacked Estate together before, this Mysterious Man helped him, but he didn't expect to take action again this time.
"Maybe he likes me..."
Mike couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart.
But the situation was so urgent that he didn't have time to think about it. He made a quick decision and rushed back.
When everyone came back to their senses, they discovered that Golden Benba Vase had changed hands, and they frantically chased after him.
The professor was standing on the opposite side, looking at the running crowd getting closer and closer.
In an instant, the pupils of his eyes turned from dark to bright, as bright as the dawn.
Immediately afterwards, a Mental Power force centered on him, rippled like water waves, and weaved into an invisible web.
Under the shroud of this power, the steps of those enthusiastic treasure hunters instantly slowed down, their consciousness became trance-like, as if they were trapped in a blurry dream, and their fighting spirit was quietly drained away.
The professor uses "Mental Interference" with all his strength to achieve a short-term group control effect.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mike also quickly distanced himself from his pursuers, ran up to him in a few steps, and said gratefully:
"Two friends, I will definitely contact you after I go out."
"Stop talking nonsense, we can't hold on for long!"
Li Dingjian, however, had a worried look on his face and kept urging him to leave quickly.
Mike Not daring to delay any longer, he slipped into the secret passage behind the door and quickly disappeared into darkness.
Fang Cheng has been paying attention to the actions of the Mysterious Man team.
Hearing this unusually familiar voice, his pupils suddenly shrank and his fists clenched tightly.
His eyes were fixed on the "middle-aged man" who had just spoken.
At this moment, the professor only persisted for two seconds, and a large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead.
Even though he has plenty of Mental Energy, facing so many Aberrant with the same extraordinary abilities, it is ultimately difficult for him to launch such a large-scale mental control.
Everyone was in a daze for a moment, then restored Qingming Festival one after another and realized what the problem was.
"Asshole, it turns out you are in the same group!"
"This guy lied to us, kill him!"
Soon someone became angry, waved their fists, and attacked the two professors who were blocking the way.
Whoosh!
A black shadow flew out from the thorn like a discharged cannonball.
Then there was a muffled "bang" sound, and the attacker flew out like a kite with its string broken, his body rising high into the air.
At the same time, his chest seemed to have been exploded by a bomb, leaving a bloody hole.
The bright red blood gurgled out like a fountain and sprinkled Blood Mist in the air. The scene was extremely terrifying.
Plop.
The corpse fell heavily against the wall and slid down with a tremor.
Fang Cheng stood still on both feet, raised his head slightly, and raised his blood-stained fist.
His eyes slowly swept across the many treasure hunters who were still in shock.
Then, he looked at the professor and Li Dingjian and said in a deep voice:
"You go first, I will deal with it here!"
