Xiao Chen looked at his watch and the time had finally come.
He had been wandering around the first floor of the palace dungeon for most of the day. There were not many guards here, but there were always patrols, and there were invisible detection devices at intervals, so he had to be very careful when moving around.
He couldn't get any news from Luo Ling and the others here, but they agreed to take action when the time came. Only by launching the action could they overwhelm the enemies in the royal capital and make it impossible for them to reinforce two places at the same time.
He took out the earring from his pocket, and it quickly changed into Glade's appearance and stood beside him. This time, he was wearing a black suit and a mask, looking more like a ninja than a wizard.
"Is it necessary to dress like this?" Xiao Chen pouted.
"This kind of secret operation is so exciting," said Glade.
Xiao Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him and started to project Tasia and Elena. However, when these two female mages appeared out of thin air, they were also wearing black clothes similar to Glade.
"You all..."
"Didn't you say that today's operation was a covert operation? I saw that the martial arts novels you got in all wrote things like 'a dark night with a strong wind, and people in black clothes and masks'." Tasia said excitedly.
Xiao Chen looked at the linen coat he was wearing, which was that of a dung transporter. He felt that it greatly reduced the status of his team.
He decided to ignore this question and took out a black book with gold edges from the Traveler's Heart. On it were written the words "Spirit Gathering Book". He handed the book to Glade and said, "This holy book is now yours to use. You can use it to summon a high-level ghost wizard and two high-level ghost warriors. These ghosts will also be our helpers."
The four of them continued forward and soon encountered a patrol team.
Xiao Chen used the soul bridge to connect everyone's consciousness and said, "We can't avoid these enemies while going upstairs, otherwise I would have sneaked back to the third floor just now. What we have to do now is to eliminate them as quickly as possible and prevent them from contacting the elite troops on standby on the top floor. It is said that there is a great magician and two great knights guarding this dungeon. If their strength is really as the intelligence says, the four of us combined, even if we double our strength, we will not be their opponent."
"Then let's attack together?" Elena asked.
"No, I've already worn this outfit, so I have to put it to good use." Xiao Chen asked the others to stay hidden, and he left the shadows and walked towards the patrol team.
There were ten people in the patrol team. They were quite surprised to run into Xiao Chen during the patrol, but they did not report it immediately using the communication tool because they had just seen this dung transporter in the morning. Although it was a bit strange for him to appear here at this time, they had to ask him first.
"Hey, dung transporter, what's going on? Why are you here at this time?" The captain of the patrol team looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Sir, I came in with the permission of the master at the door. When I came here in the morning, I dropped a badge here. It was my grandfather's badge obtained when he was fighting the empire." Xiao Chen said as he approached them.
"A badge for fighting the Empire?" The patrol leader felt a little strange. "The Order of the Spear of Victory?"
"Spear? There is no spear. It's the kind with two intersecting swords and a sun under them. My grandfather got it through military exploits. I heard that this thing is worth a lot of money now. I'm going to rely on this to marry a wife in the future." Xiao Chen pretended to be stupid, like those stupid guys who knew nothing, and slowly walked in front of them.
"It's the Medal of Justice Swords?" The patrol leader was attracted by Xiao Chen's words. This medal is very rare and will not be awarded to ordinary soldiers. The grandfather of this stupid boy was able to get this, which means he was at least a knight's squire and had great military achievements. If he really got this medal, he could sell it for at least three or five gold coins. He looked at Xiao Chen greedily and scolded him, "Bullshit, you are a manure carrier, how could your ancestors be nobles? That medal must be something you made up, get out, don't be an eyesore here."
Xiao Chen smiled foolishly and said, "You are right, my ancestors are certainly not nobles. I have only seen that badge on portraits of nobles."
Without waiting for the patrol members to react, a powerful mental shock wave erupted with Xiao Chen as the core. Facing this mental explosion like a huge wave, the poor consciousness of the patrol members around them were like small sampans being swept into the seabed. They all sank down like sculptures, stopping in the action they had just taken and fell into a long daze.
Xiao Chen raised his hand and pointed it at the patrol captain's head. If it were in the past, he would definitely consider how to subdue these people without hurting their lives. But after going through so much and getting to where he is now, Xiao Chen's heart is no longer the same as before. His sympathy is now only reserved for those who deserve sympathy. To his enemies, he has become more and more cold-blooded and ruthless.
Moreover, at this time and place, he had no kindness to squander. These people who had no ability to resist could become the culprits who killed everyone at any time.
A sharp ice spike pierced the back of the patrol leader's head, and then he seemed to come back to his senses from his daze, making some incomprehensible sounds from his throat, and then collapsed to the ground. The same ice spikes pierced the heads of the patrol members one by one. In less than a minute, the team was completely killed.
Xiao Chen let out a long sigh and turned around to ask the other three to follow him, but he saw that they were all standing in the distance, motionless like the patrol members just now.
The range of the mental explosion is so wide
Xiao Chen hurried forward and pushed Glade, who stumbled back a few steps as if he had suddenly woken up from a nightmare. He said with lingering fear: "Xiao Chen, the power you just burst out is too strong. I felt that at that moment, my consciousness was almost bounced back to the middle of the earring. I couldn't even maintain this human form."
"I did try my best to cast this magic. I wanted to make sure those people wouldn't wake up in a short period of time, but I didn't expect this to happen."
"The space here is so small that it's hard for us to avoid the effect unless we stand far away."
Xiao Chen pushed Tasia and Elena again, and finally woke them both up. Their feelings were very similar to Glade's, and they were almost knocked back to the meditation space by the explosion.
Tasia said, "I suspect your mental blast has extra damage to the spiritual body. If it was something like a ghost, it would probably be dispelled with one blow."
Xiao Chen said: "Then let's use other methods. However, the effect of Heart of Fear is too unstable, and other magics are difficult to subdue so many enemies in an instant. We need an alternative plan."
