1245 Control
Once again, Fang Heng looked at the right side of the pile of enlightenment stone replicas behind him, and his pupils shrank involuntarily.
Besides the small pile of enlightenment stone replicas, there were three very large pieces of enlightenment stones.
However, the strange thing was that, in theory, the spiritual power fluctuations emitted by the three enlightenment stones should be extremely large, but he could only sense a small part of it.
The night vision ability provided by vampires was limited, and he could not see anything after that.
“Be careful, there’s an enemy in front. Follow behind me.”
Fang Heng reminded them. He increased the coverage of his brilliance spell to the maximum with his mental strength and led everyone forward slowly.
As soon as he got close, two game prompts appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player is approaching an unknown source of infection. The player’s infection index will be greatly affected. Please be careful.]
[Hint: You have a special constitution. Ignore the effects of this infection.]
The rest of the team also received the game notification and quickly exchanged glances.
Wu Shijiang was shocked.
Oh no, it was an infection!
He realized that the air around him was infected, and he didn’t have any items on him that could resist the infection.
The infection index in the mission attribute bar increased rapidly.
Tang Mingyue was well prepared before she came. She immediately threw a bottle of medicine to Sandy and another bottle to Wu Shijiang.
Wu Shijiang took the blue potion, and a line of game prompts appeared.
[Hint: You have obtained a refined beginner-level infection resistance potion.]
Description: A special infection-resistant agent that can greatly reduce the effects of infection. The effect is outstanding, but the duration is short. Repeated use within 72 hours will greatly reduce the effect.
Duration: 20 minutes. The effect will gradually decline as time passes.
Wu Shijiang was stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He turned to look at Tang Mingyue.
Her Highness Mingyue had even created this kind of anti-infection drug that targeted the demonic seed.
“Drink it.”
“Alright.”
Wu Shijiang nodded and quickly gulped down the medicine.
As they continued forward, they soon saw a mine cart filled with enlightenment stone replicas.
Several giant dark brown tentacles wrapped around the enlightenment stone replicas as if they were alive. They contracted and undulated as if they were breathing.
Everyone looked at each other and saw the strange look in each other’s eyes.
Were they absorbing the power of the enlightenment stone?
It was a pity that Qiu Yaokang was still researching the crystallized form of the demonic seed in the Land of Plague and did not follow them. Otherwise, he would have found more useful clues.
Sensing the approach of Fang Heng and the others, the black tentacles stopped absorbing and stood up from their crouching state, pointing their sharp ends at Fang Heng and the others.
Warren kept a distance from them and observed them. He asked in a low voice, “Are they absorbing the enlightenment stone replicas?”
According to Qiu Yaokang’s theory, the enlightenment stone is a form of energy that can be absorbed by living creatures. In comparison, infected creatures need it more.
Mo Jiawei was also puzzled and asked, “So Salvador was trying to feed this monster by researching the enlightenment stone?”
[Hint: The player team has discovered a mysterious creature. The underground palace exploration rate has increased by an additional 50%.]
Sandy observed his surroundings and his eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed forward and said, “Look over there.”
Looking in the direction Sandy was pointing at, there were a few steps that extended upwards not far ahead.
Above the steps was a raised round platform.
The round platform was huge.
What was strange was that the tentacles of the original devouring body extended out of the ground around the edge of the round platform.
Eh?
Warren asked, “An alchemy magic array?”
He looked at the edge of the round platform and noticed that there was a magic array flashing on the ground.
It was obvious that the magic array was in operation.
Huge tentacles extended out from the magic array that was still in operation, forming a circle.
Warren said with a frown, “It’s a spatial magic array.”
The original devouring body used the spatial alchemy magic array as an exit, and its huge tentacles gradually extended outside through the space channel, so that they could absorb the power of the enlightenment stone replicas.
Fang Heng observed from a distance and pondered.
It was obvious that someone had deliberately set this up.
“What do we do?”
Warren said in a deep voice, “In my opinion, the original devouring body should be sealed in a deeper place. These holes are space passages opened by alchemy magic arrays to feed the original devouring body.”
Mo Jiawei asked. “So, we can get rid of these original devouring bodies by turning off the magic array, right?”
Warren nodded and replied, “Yes.”
It sounded simple, but it would be difficult to rush over and shut down the magic arrays.
The ordinary tentacles he had encountered before were immune to most magic damage, so the dozen or so huge tentacles in front of him did not seem easy to deal with.
...
Wu Shijiang, who was hiding at the back, suggested, “Should I destroy the alchemy magic array with long-range attacks?”
“It’s very difficult. Doing so will make the original devouring bodies hostile. They haven’t taken the initiative to attack yet. If we anger them later, it will be even more troublesome.”
While everyone was discussing, Fang Heng said, “I have an idea.”
“What?”
Fang Heng didn’t continue to explain.
Under everyone’s gaze, he took two steps forward and faced the alchemy magic array on the round platform in the distance.
All of a sudden, a scarlet alchemy magic array was reflected in the pupil of Fang Heng’s right eye!
In response, the alchemy magic array on the ground in the distance emitted a faint red light.
Talent-Omniscient eye (alchemy)
Fang Heng’s right eye had inherited the effects of the omniscient eye.
To condense the seal, he only needs to consume HP and mental strength to control the alchemy magic array within a certain distance
...
The game prompts refreshed one after another.
[Hint: Your talent-omniscient eye (alchemy) is in effect. You are controlling the operation of the magic circle from a distance. An additional 210 health points have been consumed.]
[Hint: Your talent-omniscient eye (alchemy) is in effect…]
Seeing that the magic array started to operate out of thin air, Warren was stunned and looked at Fang Heng in surprise.
Fresh red blood was flowing down from the corner of Fang Heng’s right eye.
Was it Sydney’s omniscient eye?
How could this be?
Sydney’s omniscient eye was extremely famous in the Empire’s alchemy world. Long-range control of alchemy magic arrays was one of its representative abilities.
Warren knew that Fang Heng obtained Sydney’s omniscient eye in the Imperial mausoleum and had successfully transplanted it. However, he had never expected that Fang Heng could directly use the power of the eyeball.
With the current alchemy technology, a normal organ transplant would not be able to exert 100% of its power, and there would be a strong rejection reaction.
This was especially true for powerful organs like the omniscient eye.
“Ka ka ka…”
While he was still in shock, Warren felt a faint tremble under his feet.
The magic array, which had been running in a positive direction, began to run in reverse under the red light.
