Crossing Portal, the six of them came to a vast underground space. The surrounding light was somewhat dim, and further away was an oppressive darkness.
As soon as his feet set foot on the ground, Lin Hai spread his perception, and the feedback information made Lin Hai feel certain.
As expected, Kingpin carried out his request very well. The weakened "Heartbind Vine" seeds that he processed were evenly scattered around the path of the elevator to Stone Prison.
Except for Matt who could not see but felt that he had arrived in a huge, quiet space, Gwen, Peter, Harry, and Elektra could not help but look curiously at this strange and mysterious environment.
There are two most conspicuous things in this empty and silent space. One is the huge Stone Prison not far from them, and the other more eye-catching thing is the brightest elevator here, the elevator that leads to the ground.
"Follow me." Lin Hai took the lead and walked in the direction of Stone Prison.
Finally, Lin Hai chose an angle to stop on the side of Stone Prison, where he could just observe the exit of the special elevator.
Lin Hai confirmed that from his perspective, he could have a panoramic view of the elevator entrance, and it would be almost impossible to spot people coming off the elevator if they did not deliberately go around to the side of Stone Prison.
Since in this underground space, except for the magnificent Stone Prison in the center, there are only some man-made support structures that may have been added by Alexandra later. In addition, Kingpin does not plan to carry out any development and construction here, so there are very few lighting facilities, with only a few low-power lamps emitting light.
This dim environment provides them with excellent natural cover. As for whether Murakami, Bakuto, and Sowande will notice anything wrong after they arrive near Stone Prison...
This is no longer something Lin Hai needs to consider, because by that time the two sides will have already started a war.
After being properly hidden, the area on the side of Stone Prison fell into silence. Even Peter, who was usually the most active and could hardly stop talking, became quiet at this moment.
Again, Peter always has a clear sense of priorities in major matters and knows when to do what he should do.
Gwen was gently stroking the staff in his hand, moving his lips slightly, as if silently reciting some spell; Harry's breathing was steady and long under the mask, and his Nova Armor was also on standby.
Although Matt cannot see, his Super-Senses is like the most sophisticated radar, scanning all sound waves and vibrations around him; Elektra seems to blend into the surrounding shadows. This is her professional skill as a killer and assassin.
Lin Hai sat down cross-legged and placed Plum Blossom Spear on his knees just like Spear Zen usually did, and his hands were also placed on Plum Blossom Spear on. At the same time, the Energy Core in his Dantian is accelerating and rotating, and Life Force is rushing inside his body, just waiting for Lin Hai to open an outlet to vent it out.
This quiet atmosphere did not last long.
About twenty minutes later, a sound of mechanical operation that was particularly clear in this space began to come from the direction of the elevator in the distance.
The six people's hearts trembled at the same time, it's coming!
This is the sound of the elevator starting to run. Kingpin and the Hand and the remaining four "Fingers" will arrive here soon.
Although everyone has been informed of this action plan before, Lin Hai emphasized it again in a low voice:
"Everyone, please confirm one last time. Look at my movements for a while. I won't move. All of you must continue to remain still and concealed! Whether you can catch all the remaining three 'Fingers's of the Hand in one go depends on the next wave!"
The voices of five other people sounded behind Lin Hai at the same time, "Understood!"
"Click... buzz--"
The elevator stopped, the thick metal doors slowly slid open to both sides, and the bright lights inside instantly illuminated the small area in front of the elevator door.
The first thing to step out from the light and shadow is the highly recognizable huge figure of Kingpin. He is still wearing the custom-made white suit today and is holding his multifunctional cane in his hand.
The person who walked out of the elevator after Kingpin was Madame Gao. She was hunched and leaning on a cane. The moment she walked out of the elevator, her eyes couldn't help but quickly scan the space where Dragon Bone was sealed.
After that, three figures with very different auras walked out one after another.
Walking at the front was an old man with a strong build, wearing a dark kimono, and eyes as sinister as a hawk. He wore a simple sword on his waist, and his whole body exuded an aura of being in a position of power and decisive killing - it was Murakami who controlled the Hand Japan headquarters.
Then there is a man wearing a well-dressed suit and gold-rimmed glasses who looks about the same age as Murakami - this is Bakuto who controls the Europe the Hand branch.
The last one is the most burly and muscular, with dark skin, wearing a strange combination of Africa tribal elements and modern tactical clothing, with an unabashed wildness on his face - he is Sowande who controls the Africa the Hand branch.
After these four "Fingers", a group of powerful ninjas, all wearing red ninja uniforms, filed out of the elevator. They are the core and most elite members of the guards of Murakami, Bakuto, Sowande and Madame Gao.
Lin Hai According to a rough count, there are about thirty people. Fortunately, this special elevator that goes directly to the underground is designed to be huge enough so that all these people can come down at once.
After walking out of the elevator, except for Kingpin, who had been here with Lin Hai last time, the other four people, including Madame Gao, saw this secret place that was hidden deeply by Alexandra for the first time.
They quickly looked at this vast, dark underground space, with scrutiny and curiosity in their eyes.
But soon, all their attention was completely attracted by the only building in this space. If the information Kingpin revealed before is correct, if what Madame Gao said is true...
Then, within this huge Stone Prison is the complete Dragon Bone that is enough to free them from the shackles of lifespan and even return to youth!
When thinking of this, Murakami, Bakuto, Sowande, and even Madame Gao, who knew the inside story but also longed for more Dragon Bone, could not help but reveal uncontrollable huge yearning and naked greed in their eyes!
Kingpin seemed unaware of all this. With a just right smile on his face, he pointed Fingers in the direction and took the lead in walking towards the Stone Prison door. "Guys, please look, this is the Stone Prison that seals Dragon Bone, and it is also the basis of our cooperation."
Murakami, Bakuto, and Sowande looked at each other. Although their feet followed Kingpin as they moved forward, years of caution had already been engraved in their bones.
The three of them gave a few vague glances to the elite ninja guards following behind them, with a clear meaning: to keep up, stay vigilant, carefully observe the surrounding environment, and confirm that there is nothing abnormal.
They couldn't even trust each other who came from the same family and were both the Hand Fingers, let alone Kingpin.
Although Madame Gao knew that Kingpin's target was Murakami, she knew nothing about Kingpin's specific plan. At this moment, seeing Murakami and three others, they all signaled their subordinates to be on guard. She also made a similar gesture to the few confidant ninjas behind her.
The six Lin Hai people hiding on the side of Stone Prison had a panoramic view of this scene. Lin Hai's eyes were firmly locked on the group of people who were gradually moving away from the elevator and gathering towards the Stone Prison door.
That's it now!
A flash of light flashed in Lin Hai's eyes. He who had been sitting cross-legged quickly raised his hands, wrapping his left hand around his right hand, with the palms of both hands facing inward. He pinched the sub-fold of the right hand with the thumb of his left hand and pinched the midday crease of the right hand with the thumb of his right hand. He formed the Daoist knot Tai Chi Seal just like last time at Ta Lo.
The majestic Life Force rushed out along his meridians like a river bursting its banks, establishing connections with the surrounding seeds in the blink of an eye.
"Boom--!"
Countless thick vines were like giant pythons, breaking out of the ground at extremely fast speeds, covering and wrapping the elevator door tightly in an instant! These vines were intertwined with each other, forming an extremely thick plant barrier, completely blocking the only way to the ground.
"Baga!"
"What?!"
"There's an ambush!"
Murakami, Bakuto, Sowande and Madame Gao, who were walking in front and were immersed in their own fantasies, were shocked at the same time and turned around suddenly!
What caught their eyes was not only the elevator that was completely blocked by vines at the back, but also everywhere around them, there were vines that were growing crazily!
Within a few breaths, centered around the group of people the Hand, a circular area of about a hundred meters in diameter was completely surrounded by the suddenly growing vine forest. Countless vines entangled and clung to each other, forming an airtight ring barrier, completely trapping them in this area.
That's right, after a long time, Lin Hai once again used "Deep Forest Emergence" in battle!
It is completely different from the "fake·fake·Deep Forest Emergence" that almost drained him dry when he first used it. At this moment, this vine forest rising from the ground has reached a whole new level in terms of scale, tenacity, and the Life Energy contained in it!
Although there is still a gap between Lin Hai's ideal complete version of Deep Forest Emergence, it is enough to remove the prefix of "fake". I believe that in the near future, as his power continues to grow, the remaining "fake" will eventually be completely erased.
At this moment, this vibrant but murderous vine forest created by Lin Hai has firmly trapped the Hand's last four "Fingers" in it!
