"Hmm... are the injuries serious?" Having finished his reprimand, Sun Fei began to inquire about his disciple's injuries.
"It's not serious. I'm protected by my armor. It was just a minor injury to my lungs and internal organs, but I've already taken the red potion and recovered." A hint of his former restrained and shy smile finally appeared on Inzaghi's usually cold face.
Sun Fei nodded.
Turning around, Sun Fei stripped the gleaming blue battle robe made of the seventh-tier magical beast, the Blue Fox, from the body of the dead Blood Blade Mercenary Corps. He had already noticed that it was a very fine leather battle robe, containing a faint aura of ice, which was condensed and not released, exceptionally strong and tough, and also had a certain amplification effect on ice magic and Dou Qi. Although the back of the robe had been pierced with a small hole by Inzaghi using a dagger made of [ Demon Remains ], the robe was still quite valuable.
Sun Fei put it into his storage ring.
"Huh? This is... Immediately send me orders to have Uncle Lampard and the others stall for time and not kill all the Blood Blade at once. I still have some things to do." Sun Fei suddenly sensed something, his expression changed, and he said.
"Yes, Master," Inzaghi replied respectfully, his figure flashing as he disappeared into the night and flames.
After closing his eyes and carefully sensing for a while, Sun Fei determined the final direction. He then disappeared into the raging flames and walked step by step into the Blood Blade Mercenary Number One, which was already half collapsed, and searched around.
" The Blood Blade Mercenary Corps... is finished!"
At the top of a tall tower in the distance, the proud young man who had been watching the battle intently still had a sharp glint in his eyes, but his expression was uncertain. Finally, he let out a long sigh of dejection, hesitated for a moment, and then his figure flashed a few times before he descended the tower and disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
" With Blood Blade destroyed, it's time to reap the rewards!"
" The King of Chambord hasn't shown up yet? Could it be...?"
Surrounded by the elite [ Iron-Blooded Camp ] soldiers, their armor gleaming and exuding a chilling aura, Prince Arshavin, the [ God of War ] of the Empire, had been searching for the figure he cared about, but that figure never appeared... This only deepened his doubts.
"Who exactly is that mysterious mage wearing Demon's Horn mask? A mage with magical skills approaching the Six-Star Class shouldn't be unknown. Why has no information on such a person ever appeared in the Zenit Empire?"
Thinking of this, the Empire's [ God of War ] found his thoughts to be in such turmoil that a veil seemed to be shrouded in a veil he could never remove, obscuring everything.
"Check immediately!" Arshavin's tone was icy.
"Yes, Your Highness." A heavily armored soldier knelt on one knee to receive the order and then turned to leave.
As trusted confidants personally promoted and cultivated by the First Prince, they had followed this " God of War " through countless battles, fighting side by side through life and death. Not only were they utterly loyal, but they also possessed a tacit understanding that was unmatched between generals and soldiers. The mere words "investigate quickly" were enough for them to understand a great deal, and of course they knew what His Highness the First Prince wanted to investigate.
Above the void, amidst the dark clouds.
"Old buddy, did you figure it out? Is that masked kid Alexander or not?" Materazzi scratched his head, his eyes were red from looking, but he still couldn't come to a conclusion.
"No," the thin figure replied.
"Can't you tell either?"
"Kindness."
"Hahaha, Lord Krasich, the Imperial Martial Saint and the strongest warrior in the Empire, can't even you see it? Don't you have even the slightest clue?"
"A completely different aura of power; I cannot judge it."
"Huh? You finally said a few more words, ahahaha, let me count, unbelievable, a full fourteen words, that breaks your record of the past three years, hahahaha!" The Empire's number one bard Materazzi, widened his eyes, extremely proud.
Martial Saint: "..."
Materazzi: "Come on, say a few more. If you talk more, your men will be ten times more terrifying."
The Martial Saint said, "If you spoke less, you would be a thousand times more lovable."
Materazzi: "..."
Materazzi: "Should I go down and lift that kid's mask to take a look?"
"Don't!"
Here we go again. Would it kill you to say a few more words?
"..."
The Number One hall of the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps headquarters was extremely magnificent, covering a vast area, like a small square. Although part of it had been destroyed by Sun Fei's [ Fire Bolt ] during the previous battle, and the wooden buildings inside the hall were also burning, most of the hall remained intact.
Sun Fei carefully sensed the surroundings for a while, Summon the Great War Staff from the [ Arcanna's Tricks ] set. Holding it in his hand, he carefully guarded against any movement around him, and walked step by step towards the huge dual-master type magical beast throne in the very center of the deepest part of the hall.
"A mere mercenary group leader dares to sit on the Twin Lion Beast Throne, a throne reserved only for King of vassal states appointed by the empire? The Blood Blade Mercenaries are truly audacious."
As Sun Fei spoke, he sneered and waved the giant battle staff in his hand.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
With a sharp whistling sound, four [ Fire Bolt ] imbued with terrifying fire elemental power shot out and slammed heavily onto the Twin Lion Demon Beast Throne. With a deafening roar, how could the white Rock withstand such a terrifying magical bombardment? It was instantly blasted apart, and the entire throne shattered into pieces.
The stone chips slowly settled.
Behind where the Twin Lions Demonic Throne once stood, a secret archway, barely wide enough for one person to pass through, appeared, its eerie entrance leading to an unknown destination.
On the stone walls on both sides of the archway, mysterious lines flowing with silver light were engraved. This was a very strange magic array pattern. Both the outermost arc and the inner magic circuits were different from the engraving method of conventional magic arrays. Sun Fei carefully approached and observed carefully, and found that the archway seemed to be carved from a single huge stone block and then inlaid into the entrance of the secret passage. It was not carved or repaired later. The stone block that made up the archway exuded an ancient and vicissitudes aura that was inconsistent with the entrance of the secret passage, as if it had gone through countless years. An indescribable mysterious aura came over him.
The magical stone carvings on the archway gave Sun Fei a feeling that was both familiar and difficult to understand.
But Sun Fei's intuition told him that this archway must be something good.
"Let's put it away first..." Without a conclusion, and seeing that no one was around, Sun Fei switched to [ Barbarian Mode ] and used brute force to pry the stone archway off as a whole, then put it into his storage space.
After doing all this, he slowly stepped into the dark and mysterious secret passage.
The faint, intermittent Summon aura he had inadvertently sensed earlier emanated from this secret passage.
The secret passage was extremely narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass sideways. Step by step, the stone steps led down into an even darker and colder underground. After walking for about fifty meters, the passage began to widen, and a hazy light appeared ahead, shimmering with the dreamlike colors of a dazzling treasure.
If an ordinary person had been walking through the narrow tunnel for a while and suddenly saw such a dazzling and holy light, they would definitely quicken their pace and run towards it.
But Sun Fei paused for a moment, then stood still in place.
Because he could sense that after the secret passage widened, the stone surface in front and the stone walls on both sides seemed smooth and without any strange or unusual things, but an invisible aura of danger flowed through the entire passage. Even Sun Fei felt a little scared by this aura.
"Magic traps? Mechanical mechanisms?"
Unexpectedly, the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps, which hadn't caused Sun Fei much trouble, was hiding such a terrifying place underground.
Sun Fei thought for a moment. Time was of the essence, so he switched to [ Assassin Mode ] and strode forward.
Among the seven classes in the Diablo World, the Assassin excels at creating and breaking magical traps and also has some knowledge of mechanical arts, making them the most suitable for this kind of environment.
Sure enough, under [ Assassin Mode ], Sun Fei could clearly sense that the seemingly smooth and untouched ground and walls were concealed with countless traps of all kinds. These traps were ingeniously designed and extremely well-hidden. If one did not have a thorough understanding of such techniques and knowledge, even a six- Star-Rank Warrior who rashly ventured in could suffer a great loss, and if unlucky, could even perish here.
Sun Fei's forward speed slowed down considerably.
He was dismantling the traps in the passage little by little, but he didn't remove all of them. Instead, he simply opened up a very winding and strange passage, just wide enough for one person to navigate by step.
"Strange, the design of these traps and mechanisms is ingenious, but the way they are set up is extremely clumsy. It looks like a complete novice trying to imitate something without any knowledge of traps and mechanisms..." Sun Fei gradually noticed something amiss. The passageway was filled with traps, but precisely because there were so many, the power of some traps was greatly reduced. Some of the chain traps were also set up in a completely wrong way. It seemed that the person who set up the traps was just blindly pursuing the quantity of traps and piling them up haphazardly, while ignoring the huge synergistic effect that traps with different functions could produce when combined.
The entire passageway was about fifty meters long, and it took Sun Fei, in [ Assassin Mode ], a full thirty minutes to pass through it completely.
During this process, Sun Fei did not trigger any traps, nor did he leave any footprints in the more than fifty-meter-long passageway. Looking back at the path he had walked, it was as if no one had ever walked it.
