Chapter 1608 Return

In the niche of the stone wall of the passage, there is an object that looks like a wheel.

In fact, this is a capstan with a noose of unknown material on it.

Seeing this, Frederick breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, this was not exposed."

Maryland nodded. "This stone wall is covered with precious magical sand..."

If the enemy can even discover this, then the right thing for them to do is to just run away.

He turned the winch, and the smooth stone wall in front slowly rose up, revealing a deeper cave inside that seemed endless.

There are three such stone walls in total, and the third one is not at the top of the passage, but on the side.

After the two entered the passage for the third time, a cold breath came from inside, "Why are you here again?"

"Hello, sir," Maryland said respectfully, "We are in a bit of trouble now, and we beg for your guidance..."

After the adult heard his story, he snorted and said, "This is your business, what does it have to do with me?"

Frederick replied respectfully, "We are worried that the other party may be targeting you, Your Excellency."

"Humph," the cold breath snorted, "Come on then, I want to see what kind of characters appear."

Frederick coughed lightly, "Sir, the main thing is that two Supremes are missing."

"We want to know if anyone can break the ban imposed by the adults?"

"That's impossible," the cold breath replied coldly, "You two don't even know the secret of this restriction."

Maryland hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "But sir... the other party is really strong and good at mental attacks."

The cold breath was silent for a long time before he said, "It's not convenient for me to take action, you know."

Maryland's beard twitched, and he made up his mind, "Sir, they can use the magic weapon without any hindrance."

"That's impossible," the cold breath answered without hesitation.

He sneered disdainfully, "Haha, even if we can develop alternative equipment, it will not be completely free of obstacles."

Frederick couldn't help himself. "Sir, what should we do to make you willing to help?"

"I'm old, and I want to live two more years," the cold voice replied indifferently, "It's okay...you can go."

Maryland and Frederick looked at each other and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Maryland sighed, raised his hand and bowed, "Sir, we will take our leave first."

Then the two of them left silently without saying a word.

It wasn't until Maryland sealed the hole again that Frederick sneered, "Is this your achievement?"

Maryland glanced at him calmly and said, "How about... you take charge from now on?"

A trace of ferocity appeared on Frederick's thin face. "Isn't that too much?"

He had wanted to stay here before. Although it was probably desolate, it was a place that researchers dreamed of.

Especially that adult who is extremely capable and has mastered an extraordinary amount of knowledge, and everyone is eager to get his favor.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t beat Maryland and eventually had to give up here.

As for coming once or twice a year, that was his duty, he had to come, and Maryland could not stop him.

Now that something has happened, Maryland has thought of giving up. Does he think he is a fool?

"So don't say those sarcastic remarks," Maryland replied calmly, "At this time, we should first consider uniting to face the outside world."

"Humph," Frederick snorted coldly, "If I were you, I would resign now and avoid implicate my companions."

"Is it possible to implicate you? Not really," Maryland said expressionlessly. "If we really have to fight head-on, we are not without a chance of winning."

"As long as you are willing to help, Digital Phantom... is nothing more than a clown."

"It's a pity that we can't let out the news that the Lord is hiding here."

Frederick said with a dark face, "The Digital Phantom has already set its sights on this place. It's only a matter of time before it's leaked."

In fact, he still underestimated this team. At this moment, at an altitude of seven or eight hundred kilometers, a ruler was looming.

To be honest, the sunset was able to appear because Thumb Peak turned on the interference system.

This system is so powerful that the energy fluctuations are so strong that even Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin, who are thousands of miles away, can feel it.

Once they discover that the fluctuations come from Thumb Peak, they will immediately send Sunset to investigate, and the two of them will follow.

There is no need to emphasize Sunset's ability to hide and move around, but the Alliance's high-tech equipment is indeed not bad.

However, because it had been cheated by the Shenwen Society, and this organization gave it a bad impression, it was still quite cautious.

By the time it arrived, Maryland and Frederick had already walked out of the cave.

Xizhao was also good at sensing the atmosphere, and when he found out there were two Supreme Beings below, he immediately became more careful.

If there is only one Supreme, it won't take it seriously, but if there are two... then it has to be careful.

But then, it made a new discovery, "There seems to be something wrong there?"

In any case, it would not take the initiative to approach and investigate. Fighting was something that should be the responsibility of others.

"Above two supremes?" Qu Jianlei didn't care. If he fought with all his strength, he was confident that he would win even if he was fighting one against two.

But now he was more curious about what was halfway up the mountain?

Could those unsolved mysteries be hidden there?

Unfortunately, there are too many people gathered there now, and there may even be targeted traps.

Jing Yuexin already knew him quite well. Seeing his slightly frowned brows, she took out something and asked, "Try the invisibility cloak?"

Qu Jianlei gave him a thumbs up and said, "You really have everything."

He had already tried the effectiveness of the invisibility cloak. Not only could it obscure vision and consciousness, it was also immune to many technological detection methods.

So the two of them wrapped themselves in a cloak and walked hand in hand.

Taking into account that the alliance might have some unknown means of detection, the two did not use any long-distance teleportation, but relied solely on their physical skills to travel quickly.

By the time they arrived, it was already the next morning.

Yi He immediately noticed something was wrong, "There is still residual aura fluctuation there."

When they approached the stone wall, Xizhao suddenly issued a warning, "Be careful, I sense danger!"

Qu Jianlei slowed down his pace, "I also think there is something wrong... Senior Yi He?"

Yi He was a little unconvinced, "I don't think it's that dangerous, is there something wrong?"

His spiritual perception is undoubtedly the best in the team, stronger than Qu Jianlei and Jia Shuiqing.

Sunset’s perception is not bad either, but it’s still not comparable to his.

But this time, the ruler took it seriously for once, "What do you know? The spirits of heaven and earth are more sensitive to danger...!"

"Okay," Yi He didn't argue with it, "It's okay to be careful. It's not a bad thing to be cautious."

The two of them, using their cloaks as cover, slowly came to the rock.

"No!" Qu Jianlei and Yi He reacted at the same time.

Jing Yuexin's reaction was a bit slower, "Why do I feel... a very fragmented mental power?"

"It's a bit like a spiritual alarm," Yi He was a little puzzled, "Can this kind of application be developed in the awakened system?"

"No, it's more like a trap," Qu Jianlei shook his head. "It feels like a trigger device. My goodness... Is there such a person in the alliance?"

"Yes, yes," Xi Zhao quickly agreed, "I also feel like I've been trapped. No wonder I'm always uneasy."

The next moment, Yi He sighed again, "There is actually Phantom God Sand... What good things are hidden here?"

"I suggest you step back and think about it in the long run!" It was rare that Xi Zhao, who had always been so arrogant, actually showed timidity.

"At the very least, we should send in a few more good players, such as Jia Shuiqing, Qing Hu, or the Paranoid Maniac."

The three people it mentioned were all Nascent Souls who had experienced the tribulation of thunder.

Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin retreated quietly without saying a word.

This is also the consensus reached by the team: different opinions can be discussed slowly, but the warnings of companions must never be ignored!

Wherever the invisible cloak passed, not only did the landscape remain unchanged, but not even the slightest trace was left on the snow.

After retreating to a mountain valley more than 300 kilometers away, Jing Yuexin asked, "Boss, do you want to call for help?"

She knew very well that the boss always acted cautiously and would never hesitate to call for help when he felt the situation was thorny.

But why is calling for help...called "calling for help"?

If I ask for help at this time, don't I have any face? Qu Jianlei frowned. When he left, he rejected many people.

"I don't care. If you think we should send someone over, then go ahead. I'll guard the teleportation array."

However, Yi He immediately expressed his opinion, "Why bother calling for help? Can't you just do some divination?"

Qu Jianlei glanced at Jing Yuexin and said, "It's rare for us to come out and relax, you see..."

Jing Yuexin frowned and said, "Just do what you can. I don't want anything to happen to you."

"It'll be fine," Qu Jianlei said seriously, "but if you want to do divination, you should stay away from it."

They retreated a thousand kilometers away before he cast a fortune, and the result was - half good and half bad!

However, the bad luck is moderately bad, and the good luck is moderately good, so Qu Jianlei thinks he can give it a try.

He discussed it with Jing Yuexin, and the spokesperson said simply, "It's a good bet, it's worth a try."

"It's settled then," Qu Jianlei nodded.

After the two of them reached an agreement, they did not rush to take action, but left the Motian Mountains first.

The opponent's two supreme ones have just arrived, so it would be safer to avoid their attack.

Three days later, a Supreme Being went to the military zone—the one with the big beard.

Maryland went to the military, mainly to emphasize the relationship of mutual dependence, and hoped that a military regiment would obey Tianwen's command.

But it was obvious that if the military was so easy to talk to, there would be no need for him to make a special trip.

On this very night, Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin came to Thumb Peak for the third time.

Then they were surprised to find that the skinny Supreme had arrived at the rock before them.
