Chapter 174 Snow Emperor (Part 2)
The weakness continued to disappear. Electrolux seemed to have drawn enough power, and the speed of the golden runes appeared gradually. The snow girl's originally white and transparent body began to gradually add a layer of golden light, and her original spiritual source, which had been fluctuating violently, actually stabilized magically.
Huo Yuhao could feel that in his dantian, the originally transparent liquid bead was coated with a layer of gold, as if it was isolated from all the energy inside the liquid bead.
This feeling was very strange, just like the force that could have been broken at any time was locked, and the expression on Xuedi's face became calmer and calmer. The originally cold temperament became much softer.
Huo Yuhao seemed to have something strange in his heart ignited. He slowly closed his eyes, and even he himself didn't know why he had realized it. But in this state, his consciousness, immersed in his spiritual sea, gradually entered a state of meditation.
Mingde Hall.
Standing in the underground base, Jing Hongchen almost bit his steel teeth, and everything in front of him could only be described as shocking.
The entire underground base is like a land that was just turned over before sowing, and it is full of chaos everywhere. The expensive experimental tables can still be kept intact less than one-third, and more are caused by destruction. Various rare metals can be seen everywhere, and the underground base is completely full of holes.
What made Jing Hongchen most depressed was that due to the shocks of the previous high-intensity battles, the terrain had begun to appear unstable, and it was not impossible to collapse. Now he is commanding people to strengthen the underground base and stabilize it first.
Since its establishment, Mingdetang has never experienced such a heavy blow. Not to mention the casualties of personnel, even the losses of hardware facilities are astronomical. Mingdetang is not his own! It is the soul guide research base for the entire Sun and Moon Empire! It also bears the heavy responsibility of making high-end soul guides. Even with his status in the Sun and Moon Empire, such a big accident is still unavoidable. He must bear tremendous pressure on the royal family.
"Original Sect,Original Sect!" Jing Hongchen's eyes spitted fire. The previous pursuit was fruitless. After only halfway through the pursuit, the main sect leader who had been cut off from the rear would explode the corridor. Hongfei, the person from the Ontology Sect, was killed.
Jing Hongchen mobilized the army as soon as possible, and the whole city was martial law. But he knew very well that this had no practical significance at all. With the strength of the strong men of the Ontological Sect, how could the army stop it?
"Master of the Hall." Lin Jiayi came to Jing Hongchen with a trembling voice. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at him.
"What's the situation?" Jing Hongchen calmed down as much as possible.
Lin Jiayi lowered his head and said, "The situation in the warehouse is fine, nothing is lost, and all the high-level soul guides stored are in place."
After hearing what he said, Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief and finally heard good news. It seemed that the purpose of the Ontology Sect's trip was the embryo of the soul beast of 100,000 years. They actually dared to use the power of the entire Sect to attack. This revenge must be avenged.
"But..." Lin Jiayi said two more words that made Jing Hongchen's heart tighten again.
He suddenly turned around and looked at his capable subordinate, "But what? Don't hesitate, make it clear."
Lin Jiayi gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice: "But, Experimental Unit 1 is missing..."
"What?" Jing Hongchen felt the darkness in front of him, and his body almost fell down with a sway. Lin Jiayi hurried forward to support him.
Jing Hongchen felt as if the sky had fallen, his chest was blocked, and he was so sad that he seemed to die immediately.
"You, say it again." This time, even his voice became a little trembling.
Lin Jiayi said in a trembling voice: "Experimental Unit No. 1 is missing. The master of the hall."
Jing Hongchen let out a "wow" sound, spitting out a mouthful of blood and fell directly into Lin Jiayi's arms.
What does Experimental Unit 1 mean? It means the highest achievement in the entire Mingdetang's research on soul guides. Although it is still a semi-finished product, it is equivalent to the crystallization of the research on soul guides in the Sun and Moon Empire over thousands of years!
Jing Hongchen looked at Lin Jiayi with a pale face, and his eyes were full of fear. If Mingdetang was attacked by a sneak attack, causing significant losses, he could still suppress the matter of relying on his prestige in the Sun and Moon Empire, but he could never afford the stolen Experimental Unit 1. This is already a major event that concerns the safety of the entire country.
Taking a deep breath and barely suppressing the qi and blood rushing in his body, Jing Hongchen whispered: "Who else knows about this?"
Lin Jiayi shook his head quickly and said, "I went to Laboratory No. 1 to check it myself. After I found that Laboratory No. 1 was missing, I immediately closed the Laboratory No. 1 gate and changed the entry code. I reported to you."
Jing Hongchen barely calmed down his mood and said, "Well done. You can't let anyone know about this."
"Yes." Lin Jiayi hurriedly agreed.
Jing Hongchen's face turned red and pale, and he was already very angry with the Ontology Sect. His only hope now is that the experimental body No. 1 itself contains too high technological content and cannot be used at will. Once the body is disassembled, it will immediately trigger a self-destructive device. This is to prevent theft. Now it seems that the original choice is correct enough.
But even so, the losses of many precious metals are still astronomical. Fortunately, Mingdetang has extremely high autonomy, and as long as this matter is not exposed, there is still hope to recover it.
With forced support and standing upright, Jing Hongchen's originally irritable eyes calmed down when facing a crisis.
"Jiayi, I will pass on my order. All those present today will keep their words. Anyone who dares to spread the story today will be killed without mercy."
"Send people to all large auction houses, including our country, to pay attention to all high-end auctions. If you find that Experimental Unit 1 appears, you can immediately take it back at all costs."
"In the name of Mingde Hall, we will issue a killing mission to all mercenary guilds and killer guilds. We will offer a high reward for heads from all members of the main sect."
Speaking of this, Jing Hongchen paused for a moment and said, "Except for the injured Mingde Hall disciples, all the members of the Mingde Hall who are healthy will enter an emergency mobilization state and repair the underground base as soon as possible at all costs. You tell the elders that you will trouble them to rebuild the Mingde Hall's defense work. There can be no blind spots anymore. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Lin Jiayi quickly agreed. Seeing that Jing Hongchen had regained his order, he felt relieved.
Jing Hongchen seemed to suddenly remember something and asked anxiously: "How are the exchange students of Shrek Academy? Especially the one named Huo Yuhao. Have they suffered casualties in this battle?"
Lin Jiayi is also a meticulous person. He had long guessed that Jing Hongchen would ask about this and had already investigated it before.
"At Shrek Academy, Fan Yu and Caitou went out for soul guide tests, not in the base. Other students were also outside the experimental area, and the initial explosion did not affect them. They were all very cunning and retreated to the 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. Huo Yuhao was also among the injured. Our medical soul tutor checked. Although he was in a coma, his body was not hit too strongly. He should have been stunned and only needed a while to recover."
Jing Hongchen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. If something happens to the people from Shrek Academy, it will be a little worse. Let me continue to take good care of them and don't have any problems."
Lin Jiayi hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, do you think this matter is a collusion between Shrek Academy and the Ontology Sect? Why can the Ontology Sect judge the location of our underground base so accurately, especially the Experimental Unit No. 1 and the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryos. It can even forcefully break the defense of the 100,000-year-old soul beast embryos. I'm afraid there are insiders!"
Jing Hongchen glared at him fiercely and said, "Idiot. I don't know there is an insider yet? But it's definitely not what Shrek Academy did. Your mind is full of feces? Do the people from Shrek Academy know where our 100,000-year soul beast embryos are? They can't enter the real core area of Mingde Hall. Moreover, Huo Yuhao is still under me as a hostage. Shrek Academy is not that stupid. Maybe they will applaud after knowing this, but this is definitely not what they did. Do you think they have a good relationship with the Ontology Sect?"
"Okay, hurry up and do what I told you to minimize the negative impact of this incident. I want to enter the palace immediately. It seems that I really have to visit His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It's really God's will!" As he said, Jing Hongchen was already in a strong spirit and strided away.
Even if Mingdetang is already suppressing the news as much as possible, how can such a big thing be hidden?
Within a few days, Mingde Hall encountered a surprise attack, and the heavy losses had spread throughout the continent. Although the official Sun and Moon Empire did not say who did it, the target of their target can be seen from the Mingde Hall immediately issued a kill order to the main body sect.
For a moment, the mainland was shocked. The three kingdoms of Douluo Continent were all applauded. Although they didn’t know how much the loss of Mingdetang had reached, this was definitely a good thing for them!
The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire was also furious after learning about this. His condition tended to worsen. The main mirror of Mingde Hall, Hongchen, was severely punished and the title of duke was removed. If the prince Xu Tianran had not excused him, the punishment would have been even more serious.
As soon as Mingdetang was attacked, the price of high-level soul guides on the mainland suddenly fell, but the price of rare metals increased significantly. For a time, it was rumored to be very controversial.
