Chapter 974 - 974 The Fog

974 The Fog

On the contrary, the twelve corporations came up empty-handed.

Why do you say so? Fang Heng was puzzled.

The Federation launched a surprise attack on Jian Muzhis secret research island. After occupying the research inst.i.tute, they discovered that he was missing. After that, we conducted a thorough inspection of the entire island. Only then did we find an underground cavern under the research inst.i.tute. Its extremely large, and there were signs of partial transformation. We suspect that its Jian Muzhis secret research site.

The Federations early investigation team discovered a strange power fluctuation when they investigated the underground cave. In addition, the inside of the cave is affected by the blood mist, so the inspection team didnt dare to enter rashly either. As such, they retreated and waited for support before splitting into teams to explore the interior.

Zhong Haoyang looked at his watch, The Federations investigation team should have been officially investigating the underground s.p.a.ce for more than five hours now.

How long will it take us to get there?

An hour. The helicopter is right in front. Well land on the island as soon as possible. Your ident.i.ty is a consultant I invited and you know a lot about the world of the vampires. Try not to talk too much and arouse suspicion.

Yes, sure.

Zhong Haoyang was a little nervous, but Fang Hengs eyes were filled with excitement.

So it was Jian Muzhis base camp!

He might be able to find the results of Jian Muzhis research on the vampires curse and figure out how the other party had fused the Vampire Kings remains into his body.

After the twelve corporations got rid of Jian Muzhi, should he take advantage of the vampires internal chaos to invade the worlds of the vampires that belong to the Western region?

No matter how he thought about it, it was a huge gain!

The car quickly stopped by the side of the road.

Fang Heng and Zhong Haoyang boarded the helicopter and flew toward the island.

An hour later, the helicopter landed on a cliff at the edge of Southern Cross Island.

Fang Heng got off the helicopter, his clothes fluttering in the sea breeze.

Looking around, the entire island was not big. Large areas of undeveloped forest areas looked a little desolate.

Not far away, two teams of armed Federation soldiers occupied the islands port.

On the surface, the island was privately bought by a rich man more than 30 years ago to be developed as a resort. The Federation has already detained and interrogated all suspicious people on the island, Zhong Haoyang explained in a low voice as he led Fang Heng toward the mountain wall in front.

At the entrance of the cave, two Federation soldiers saluted Zhong Haoyang and carefully checked his ID.

Thank you, sir! The two soldiers respectfully handed the doc.u.ments back.

Lets go into the cave, Zhong Haoyang led Fang Heng into the cave.

The interior of the cave was very large, but it was not deep. A large number of Federation soldiers gathered inside the cave to guard it closely.

Is this Jian Muzhis research inst.i.tute? Fang Heng found it strange and asked.

No. We thought that Jian Muzhi was in the research inst.i.tute, but we didnt expect to not find him. After a thorough search, we found a cave that led underground instead.

Zhong Haoyang led Fang Heng into the cave, This is one of the entrances to the cave that was discovered not long ago. It also leads to the secret cave below.

In front of them, the team from the Federation had gathered.

An officer saluted Zhong Haoyang, Wu Dongshun, Captain of team two, division three of the Federations operations department!

Grade three investigator, Zhong Haoyang, has received orders from the higher-ups to enter the cave to a.s.sist in the investigation, Zhong Haoyang showed his ID to the soldier and asked, Whats the situation in the cave now?

Due to the effects of lifeblood, the internal communication device is very unstable. The inner region below the cave is extremely vast. We estimate that less than 50% of the area has been explored, and 27 unknown special caves have been discovered, As Wu Dongshun spoke, he took the tablet and communicator from a soldier at the side and handed them to Zhong Haoyang.

The locations of the magic arrays and the explored areas have been marked on the tablet. Please be careful. A few teams deep into the cave have been attacked by a small number of vampires.

Alright.

Fang Heng took advantage of the time when Zhong Haoyang was conversing with the soldier and walked forward, sizing up the pit that was guarded by the soldiers of the Federation.

The pit was about three meters high, and a ladder had been set up.

Lets go, Zhong Haoyang kept the equipment and nodded at Fang Heng.

The two of them climbed down the ladder into the cave.

There were a few traces of man-made excavation in the cave, and the pa.s.sage was relatively narrow, only able to accommodate three people walking side by side.

After only walking along the tunnel for about a hundred meters, several forks appeared in front of them.

Zhong Haoyang took out his tablet and compared the twos positions.

We are now here.

After saying that, Zhong Haoyang stopped and turned to look at Fang Heng.

Hey, dont look at me, Fang Heng spread his hands and said helplessly, You brought me all the way here, shouldnt you have some sort of plan?

The twelve corporations sudden attack on Jian Muzhi wasnt part of our plan. We couldnt have antic.i.p.ated that we would discover a cave here.

Zhong Haoyang felt helpless as well, not knowing where to start.

The boss said that since you have the ability to gain the allegiance of so many worlds of the vampires in such a short time, such a small problem is certainly not difficult for you.

Heh, youre flattering me, right? Fang Heng laughed and scolded. He scratched his hair and moved his head closer to observe the tablet, asking, Is there still no news of Jian Muzhi?

Not yet. We found a lot of strange and special caverns in the caves, where we discovered special vampire incantations and magic arrays. We have already organized a team of experts to study them.

Fang Heng was quite curious about the vampire incantations, so he nodded and said, Alright then, lets go take a look at the incantations.

Arent you going to find Jian Muzhi? What if the twelve corporations find him first?

Then I can only blame it on my bad luck, Fang Heng spread his hands.

His powerful move, Everlasting Moon, was still on cooldown. Either way, if he encountered Jian Muzhi now, he would most likely not be able to beat the latter.

Moreover, Fang Heng felt that the cave was simply screaming the word strange.

It would be better to let the twelve corporations scout ahead.

Alright, Zhong Haoyang nodded and enlarged the route map on his tablet, Shall we go to the nearest one?

Yes.

The two of them slowly fumbled forward along the path pointed out on the tablet. Soon, their surroundings were shrouded by a thin layer of lifeblood.

Zhong Haoyang wrinkled his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable from the smell of blood.

Fang Heng, on the other hand, was in a good mood.

In such an environment, he felt as comfortable and carefree as a fish back in the water.

Was it the effect of blood affinity?

Fang Heng made a guess in his heart and moved his index finger slightly.

Zhong Haoyang didnt notice that a blood-colored vortex had formed between Fang Hengs fingers.

At the center of the vortex, a drop of scarlet blood condensed.

Whoos.h.!.+

Fang Heng flicked his finger lightly, and the blood bead condensed by his lifeblood suddenly hit the rock wall in front.

Pu!

The drop of blood created a deep pit in the rock wall, and gravel flew everywhere.
