1250 Plundering
Warren closed the research data in his hand and said, “The original devouring body has completed the fusion with the late King’s skeleton demonic seed. It has a powerful resurrection ability, but its weakness is its low intelligence. Because the fusion with the primitive life form black stone eel has always lived underground, its resistance to the light attribute is very low.”
“Because the original devouring body does not possess high-tier intelligence, it only acts according to its primitive instincts. Salvador has been troubled by this and has been trying to find a way to control it.”
“I just found an experimental notebook that mentioned that the original form of the black stone eel would be stimulated by a plant called the thorny spicy flower and enter a state of berserk. Salvador had extracted a high concentration of the thorny spicy flower to form a red potion that could stimulate the original devouring body and make it go crazy.”
“Based on the principles of the red potion, Salvador has been trying to develop a light blue potion that can temporarily put the original devouring body into a state of calm. He can use it to control it. So far, he has made quite a bit of progress in the research of the light blue potion.”
!!
Fang Heng immediately recalled the two-colored potions he found on the table and took a look at his character backpack.
There was an additional line of explanation on the back of the potion.
[Item: Salvador’s research potion (code light blue).]
Description: Salvador’s medicine has a calming effect on the original devouring body modified form, but its effects are limited. (There was a sticker with the number 827 on the back of the potion.)
After receiving so much information from the laboratory, Wu Shijiang was a little confused. He quickly said, “Everyone, please wait a moment. I’ll go and talk to my companions. They might have a way to deal with the original devouring body.”
Wu Shijiang hurriedly went offline as he spoke. His figure became a little dimmer and his expression became wooden.
Seeing Wu Shijiang go offline, Tang Mingyue frowned and asked, “Fang Heng, what should we do now?”
“It’s a pity that there’s no way to deal with the original devouring body in the notebook, and all the skills are on cooldown. I’m afraid I can’t beat it.
Fang Heng really wanted to take this opportunity to finish off the original devouring body. However, considering that all his skills were on cooldown, he couldn’t take it head-on even if he wanted to.
“Let’s wait and hear what Wu Shijiang has to say. The players might have a way.”
“Yes.”
Everyone continued to read the books and waited quietly.
This time, Wu Shijiang took a little longer to log off.
Wu Shijiang was already in a hurry, and he was sweating profusely.
After logging off, he hurriedly relayed all the information he had obtained from the secret laboratory to Li Xue’s team. He also learned about what had happened in the outside world from Li Xue’s team. He didn’t even wait for the think tank to come up with a plan before he hurriedly logged back online.
“How’s the situation?” Mo Jiawei asked.
Wu Shijiang wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, “Our offline party has already started gathering information and analyzing the original devouring body. We’ll have the results in two minutes. Based on the current information we’ve gathered, we estimate that the original devouring body is an SSS-level creature that can’t be defeated. Li Xue suggests that we immediately think of a way to retreat. Also, the original devouring body’s tentacles have just appeared in the royal family, causing a small disturbance in the Empire’s inner city.”
“The royal guards and the sword saint are still searching for us in the underground palace. We might run into them halfway, so we need to be extra careful. Also, there’s news that Salvador might be here in person.”
“Oh right, there’s another strange thing.”
As Wu Shijiang said this, he couldn’t help but look at Tang Mingyue and ask, “Your Highness, how much do you know about Tang Wu?”
Tang Wu?
Tang Mingyue was very surprised. She really wanted to shake her head and say that she had no idea who this person was.
“I don’t know much, why do you ask?”
“Is that so? We’ve also discovered something very strange. His Highness Tang Wu led the people of the Holy Court into the Imperial City’s inner city and even clashed with the guards at the city gate. We suspect that they’re also here for the ‘demonic seed’ incident.”
Fang Heng frowned after hearing that.
Every time Wu Shijiang went offline, he would bring back some bad news.
Not only was there no way to deal with the original devouring body but there was also the inexplicable Tang Wu and the Holy Court.
Mo Jiawei looked at Fang Heng and asked, “Fang Heng, what should we do?”
Fang Heng touched his chin.
Alright, he shall not think about the Boss’s original devouring body for the time being.
Giving up was giving up, but he still had to find a way to maximize his benefits.
While thinking, Fang Heng flicked his wrist and took out the red potion that he had just found in the drawer of the desk.
“We naturally have to leave if we can’t beat him, but before we leave, we can put something in the original devouring body and create some disturbance. We can also leave with His Highness Tang Mo.”
At the sight of the red potion in Fang Heng’s hand, everyone’s pupils shrank and they immediately associated it with Fang Heng’s intention.
Mo Jiawei grinned and asked, “Are you saying that we should give Salvador some trouble?”
“Ha, that’s a must.”
Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei looked at each other and smiled.
After working together for such a long time, Mo Jiawei understood him. Tang Mingyue glanced at the books on the cabinet and asked, “Shall we take the books here as well?”
The books on the bookshelves had the attributes of the mission items. After taking them out of the underground palace, they could be attached to the completion rate of the mission-collecting evidence. They could not be put into his backpack for the time being, but they would be helpful for Qiu Yaokang’s future research.
“Yes, I’ll take the books here first. I’ll go back to find the original devouring body and take some samples from it.”
It was impossible to kill the original devouring body. It was better to ignore this side mission and take advantage of the chaos to escape with Tang Mo and the others.
Of course, the entire Imperial City was only a little chaotic at the moment.
He would use the red potion to stimulate the original devouring body and completely release the seal! Make the Imperial City more chaotic!
The more chaotic it was, the easier it was for him to fish.
“Ah? Wait, I… I…”
Wu Shijiang didn’t expect Fang Heng’s thinking to be so unpredictable.
How did it suddenly become rescuing Tang Mo?
He calmed down and thought about what Fang Heng had said.
The more he thought about it, the more shocked he became.
If everything was really as Fang Heng said, then it was really possible for them to successfully rescue Tang Mo from the prison!
...
Even though he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, Wu Shijiang was too nervous to find any loopholes.
Regardless of whether Fang Heng’s plan was flawed or not, it was always right to go offline and report to Li Xue. If there was a problem, he would check and fill in the gaps.
It was best if there was no problem. They could also contact Tang Mo’s group to prepare for evacuation in advance.
Wu Shijiang composed himself and continued, “Lord Fang Heng, I’m going offline to communicate with my friends. Tang Mo is locked up in the dungeon with our people. We can prepare in advance and cooperate to let Tang Mo escape from the dungeon faster.”
It was naturally best to have the cooperation of the players. Fang Heng nodded and said, “Alright, go quickly!”
