Because it was explored using術法, the scene that emerged in Wang Daochang's mind was far less clear than exploring directly with spiritual consciousness.
However, he could barely see the various areas and also sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy.
The defense of the entire Snow Mountain Base was indeed tight.
Starting from their location, from near to far, there was a sentry every hundred meters, a bunker every thousand meters, and a dozen patrol teams scattered everywhere.
The patrol members wore thick white combat uniforms, almost blending into the environment, and were equipped with various auxiliary equipment.
The current level of protection at Fortress 76 was still a bit lacking compared to the Snow Mountain Base.
In a sense... Xing Tian is really a talent.
The atmosphere here was also filled with tension.
The soldiers responsible for lookout had to pick up heavy binoculars and look outward every ten seconds or so.
The soldiers guarding the monitoring screen didn't dare to take their eyes off the screen even when drinking water.
Wang Jixuan quickly discovered a team of soldiers about to go out on patrol, listening to their captain giving instructions in a low voice:
"Check the communication equipment, wear your self-heating underwear, and don't freeze your butts and junk."
"The situation has been serious recently. We just received news that a group of enemies is trying to approach."
"We must now execute according to the strictest standards. If you feel that your spirit can't handle it, give yourself an injection of Type II. You can rest well after these few days."
After the captain finished speaking, several team members took out a small syringe from their waist pouches and injected themselves in the crook of their arms.
The soldiers quickly became fully armed, boarded the ascending elevator, and rushed to their patrol positions.
Wang Jixuan's spiritual consciousness moved further inward.
The area he was exploring now was the outer military zone of the Snow Mountain Base, which was a bit like the first and second floors of Fortress 76, protecting the main body of the Snow Mountain Base.
There were no mechanical guards everywhere, and the level of technology was not high. It was almost all manual.
— For the forces of Lingneng Capital, the cost of people is much lower than that of mechanical guards, and they don't need to support a huge scientific research team to engage in research and development and maintenance.
Wang Jixuan pinched the seal again, and the scene in his heart became more blurred, but his spiritual consciousness successfully crossed the outer military base and entered the main body of the Snow Mountain Base.
The planning here was a bit messy;
It should have started with digging a cave, and then expanding it bit by bit into the mountain.
Wang Jixuan carefully searched for loopholes here, such as external ventilation pipes, abandoned fire passages, and so on.
But he searched around... and couldn't find even a tiny gap.
Soon, Wang Jixuan understood the entire structure of the Snow Mountain Base.
The entire base was an inverted '7' shape, spreading from the outside to the inside and downward. The outer periphery was the military zone, followed by the living area, and then the core area.
The core area was the gathering point for spiritual energy users.
The people living in the living area were basically ordinary people, considered the playgrounds of the spiritual energy users.
Wang Jixuan discovered an absurd scene:
A female spiritual energy user broke into the home of a young couple, controlled the couple, forcibly had a relationship with the man in front of the woman, and kept flaunting it to the woman of the house.
It's... hard to comment...
The core area of the Snow Mountain Base was not large and deep into the mountain. Wang Jixuan found hundreds of spiritual energy users within it, but most of them were below C-level.
To enter and exit the core area, there were only two paths.
One was the normal path, going all the way inward from the outer military zone, passing through more than twenty checkpoints to reach it.
The other path was diagonally below the core area, which was an emergency passage directly leading to Rainbow Town at the foot of the mountain.
This should be the [Pleasure Trail] mentioned in Aunt Dragonfly's intelligence.
Wang Jixuan quickly found the infusion laboratory in Ji Xiao's memory.
This laboratory was located on the edge of the core area. Inside, you could see more than a dozen young people soaking in the blood of blade beasts, with induction patches attached to their bodies, and more than a dozen researchers in white coats analyzing data next to them.
After a while, Wang Jixuan found Xing Tian's bedroom. The luxurious single room had a huge self-portrait, and the clothes in the closet were stained with a trace of Xing Tian's aura. There was also a wall with a [Nude] portrait of Xing Tian in the same pose every year...
He's quite narcissistic.
However, the biggest problem followed.
Where is Xing Tian?
Where is Spiritual Cultivator Number Five?
Wang Jixuan turned the core area upside down with his spiritual consciousness, constantly searching outward, but couldn't find Xing Tian and Spiritual Cultivator Number Five's shadows at all.
Not in the core area?
Hiding in the living area and military zone playing hide-and-seek?
Wang Daochang began to check back and forth.
He discovered the various self-destruct bombs hidden in the Snow Mountain Base, saw the 'gates' built with extremely thick rock walls, and found the landmines and booby traps embedded in the mountain.
Not a single hair of Xing Tian's could be found!
Until his mana was exhausted too much, falling below the 40% [Fighting Danger Line], Wang Daochang had to stop the術法.
Shaking his head vigorously, Wang Jixuan's vision returned to normal.
He held two high-level blade beast crystal cores, directly absorbing the spiritual power within them, and frowned tightly, thinking about Xing Tian's possible hiding place.
It can only be said that it was fortunate that he had spiritual consciousness to explore.
If he had rashly rushed into the Snow Mountain Base, I'm afraid there would have been big problems.
At this moment, they were hiding in a river valley in a glacier landform, not far from a babbling stream, which contained abundant water spiritual energy.
Seeing Wang Jixuan's solemn expression, Instructor Black Shell asked in a low voice, "Any discoveries?"
"Xing Tian doesn't seem to be in the Snow Mountain Base."
"Not there?" Black Shell was also stunned, "If there's no problem with our intelligence system, then Xing Tian is definitely in the Snow Mountain Base."
Peony reminded, "Before this, Auntie also felt strong spiritual energy fluctuations here. That level of spiritual energy fluctuations could only occur with SS-level advancement. S-level simply can't reach it."
"I didn't find any traces of the scientific research team and the three Judgment Corps squads that Auntie mentioned."
Wang Jixuan briefly explained the internal structure of the Snow Mountain Base.
Peony retrieved the satellite scan map that had been prepared before, which completely corresponded to what Wang Jixuan had described.
Black Shell gritted his teeth and cursed, "Is this dog thing a fox?"
"There must be some secret base... but Ji Xiao and Ji Yale don't have any relevant information in their memories..."
Wang Jixuan carefully recalled what he had just seen and heard.
Because it was術法-driven spiritual consciousness, he could only see blurry shadows in many places, and there might have been omissions.
'If I were Xing Tian, where would I be breaking through to SS-level at this time?'
'The last time I saw the blade beasts' promotion ceremony through the Soul Confinement Array, it definitely required the symbols of spiritual cultivators, and there were also a lot of spiritual energy fluctuations, which would be difficult to cover up.'
'Or is there some special hidden method?'
After about five or six minutes.
Wang Jixuan shook his head and said slowly, "There shouldn't be any omissions. Xing Tian is indeed not in the Snow Mountain Base... Peony, use the satellite to focus on scanning the terrain of the nearby mountains, don't just stare at this one snow mountain."
"Okay, sir, it will take some time."
"Just do it," Wang Jixuan said, "I'll recover and continue to explore. There's still no sign of Auntie Dragonfly."
Black Shell said, "I'll transfer a spiritual energy detection satellite over here. You don't have permission for this, but it will take some time. It's very troublesome to adjust the satellite's position."
"Okay."
Wang Daochang took a light breath, waiting for his mana to recover, and once again joined his sword fingers, cast術法, and explored the Snow Mountain Base.
This time, he searched along the ventilation pipes.
Inside the mountain, you can only rely on ventilation pipes for ventilation. Even if powerful spiritual energy users can move for a long time in oxygen-free conditions, it will affect the brain after a long time.
— Spiritual energy users don't understand what inner circulation is.
If it comes to patience, Wang Jixuan, who had cultivated bitterly for a hundred years in his previous life, had more than enough.
However, it was two and a half hours later when Wang Jixuan found a key clue.
He had repeatedly explored the Snow Mountain Base six times. Apart from the infusion laboratory, he had gained nothing. With a flash of inspiration, he turned his attention to Rainbow Town at the foot of the mountain.
Inside the underground passage outside Rainbow Town;
Aunt Dragonfly's drilling shuttle was like a twisted soda can, becoming a piece of scrap metal embedded in the stone wall of the passage.
It seemed to have been pressed into the stone wall by some huge force.
The cockpit of the shuttle was covered in blood, which was Aunt Dragonfly's remaining blood, and it still exuded a bit of Aunt Dragonfly's aura.
Wang Jixuan said, "First withdraw to find the shuttle, and then go near Rainbow Town. There's something strange there."
Black Shell asked, "Or, forget it. Your safety is more important, Teacher Wang."
"No, no, killing Xing Tian is more important."
Wang Jixuan muttered:
"The more we can't find him now, the more troublesome he is. We must get rid of this powerful enemy before he advances, or he will be a big problem in the future."
"Sir, the route has been planned. Let me lead the way."
"Yes, be careful to hide."
More than an hour after they left the valley.
A dark butterfly flew over from who knows where, circling a few times at the position where Wang Jixuan was originally sitting.
Poof.
The butterfly exploded gently, and a pair of exquisite feet wearing leather boots landed on the stone. The eerie, pale-faced, disheveled young woman squatted down and sniffed gently.
"The scent of freshness."
At the same time.
The latest and most complete novels are first published on !
Two drilling shuttles approached Rainbow Town.
...
Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo and his party had already joined forces with the maid corps. They were hiding near Transport Plane No. 1, waiting for Wang Jixuan's call at any time.
Ji Xiao and Ji Yale were still on the run.
These two unfortunate brothers had already made up their minds that as long as they couldn't escape, they would directly pretend to surrender and try to fight for a chance.
However, Ji Xiao and the other felt distinctly that the enemies pursuing them were intentionally or unintentionally leaving gaps for them to continuously approach the D5 Integrated War Zone.
If this situation continued...
Then they might really drill straight back to the vicinity of the D5 border from underground!
Mu Dan constantly intercepted communications between 'Ma Li Nan' and the 'garbage lackeys,' and the two sides were continuously pulling at each other.
Clearly, some people in the D2 higher-ups had adopted some 'clever handling methods' to avoid direct conflict with the D5 Integrated War Zone while trying not to offend Xing Dian.
Wang Ji Xuan didn't pay much attention to these things.
He was investigating Aunt Dragonfly.
Wang Ji Xuan didn't go directly to the location where Aunt Dragonfly had her accident, but instead used his spiritual sense to probe the area, trying to find some details.
Footprints, bloodstains, residual spiritual energy...
Wang Ji Xuan quickly reconstructed the approximate process of Aunt Dragonfly's attack in his mind.
A spiritual energy user so powerful that Aunt Dragonfly couldn't resist suddenly launched a sneak attack. Aunt Dragonfly wanted to eject from the cockpit, but it was a step too late. The opponent directly crushed the shuttle, and Aunt Dragonfly's thigh was pierced by the cockpit door frame.
This spiritual energy user who attacked...
Powerful telekinesis, seemingly with some kind of control over metal, suspected to be an S-class.
Judging from the residual aura at the scene, the attacker's strength seemed to be inferior to that of Huo Rong back then.
It's unknown whether they are an awakened spiritual energy user.
Wang Ji Xuan used his spiritual sense to probe everywhere, and the above-ground and underground areas of Rainbow Town were clearly visible.
The local customs here were similar to the 46th floor of Fortress 76. Everywhere were men and women enjoying the present without regard for tomorrow. He could also see some corpses that had been cleaned up and directly thrown into the valley.
Wang Ji Xuan didn't look much at the [people], focusing on searching for [places].
Rainbow Town's biggest secret seemed to be that emergency passage that directly led to the core area of the Snow Mountain Base.
That emergency passage was also guarded by several B-class and C-class spiritual practitioners, with a large number of cameras deployed everywhere.
'Strange.'
'Bristle Bear discovered spiritual energy system research team members here looking for fun, and also discovered members of the Judgment Squad. He should have been exposed during this process.'
'That would mean that if there is a secret area, it is also connected to this place.'
Daoist Wang pondered carefully for a while.
He couldn't possibly rashly go to the location where Aunt Dragonfly was attacked. If the opponent was lying in ambush there, wouldn't he fall into a passive position?
Although Wang Ji Xuan didn't really want to use evil methods;
But in this situation, using the Blood Fiend Soul Searching Technique would indeed be much more convenient...
"Sir," Mu Dan suddenly said, "The terrain data from the satellite scan has been analyzed. There is a small cavity extending horizontally from Rainbow Town underground towards the Snow Mountain Base. If scanned directly from above, this cavity would be difficult to detect. The vertical direction almost overlaps with the main body of the Snow Mountain Base."
Black Shell then said, "Something's strange. The spiritual energy satellite detection results didn't find any A-class/S-class spiritual energy users in this area. It seems to be shielded."
"A horizontal cavity?"
"Yes, the altitude there is almost the same as Rainbow Town, but it is embedded inside the mountain, approximately three kilometers in a straight line from Rainbow Town."
"Then I should be able to probe it."
Wang Ji Xuan clicked his tongue:
"As expected, there is a second secret passage connecting to Rainbow Town."
"Move a little further forward, about seven or eight hundred meters will do. I'll search Rainbow Town."
"Mu Dan, send a drone over to get some of Aunt Dragonfly's blood back. Try to collect as much as possible."
"Okay," Mu Dan said softly, "Or should I go over there?"
"The situation is unknown, don't take risks easily."
Wang Ji Xuan glanced at the positions of the team members on the map, closed his eyes, and carefully probed Rainbow Town.
Perhaps Aunt Dragonfly's blood won't be needed.
Daoist Wang quickly found a straight tunnel leading to the mountain underground in Rainbow Town. The tunnel was only one and a half meters in diameter and embedded with four tracks, presumably for fixed rail transportation.
Although the range of his spiritual sense was limited, and he didn't dare to get too close to Rainbow Town, he didn't know where the other end of the tunnel led to for the time being;
But he followed the tunnel towards its origin and quickly found the tunnel entrance.
It was actually located below a low building labeled 'Septic Tank'.
Wang Ji Xuan certainly wouldn't actively probe this kind of place!
Xing Dian's tastes are really...
Dirty, but effective.
From this point on, the sneak attack planned by Wang Ji Xuan finally got on track. Although it was full of twists and turns, fortunately, he finally found a clue.
Several thoughts flashed through Wang Ji Xuan's mind.
Rushing in recklessly is impossible;
Aunt Dragonfly must be rescued;
Xing Dian must also be eliminated.
What to do now?
Even with escape techniques, his mana is limited, and he can't escape such a long distance.
Judging from the level of defense here, it is almost impossible to sneak in disguised.
'Can't be hasty, haste makes waste. Wait for the drone to bring back Aunt Dragonfly's blood, and use the Blood Fiend Soul Searching Technique to search. This little bit of demonic power shouldn't create too much burden. First, confirm whether Aunt Dragonfly is in that direction.'
Daoist Wang calculated this in his heart.
Just as he was about to withdraw his spiritual sense, his eyebrows suddenly twitched slightly.
A few seconds ago, his spiritual sense had just swept past a prison cell below a nightclub and saw dozens of young boys and girls living in a dark warehouse, when he suddenly heard a familiar name...
"Brother Yang, I'm so scared..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. They should be letting us sell ourselves, not directly killing us to take our organs, so that's still okay."
"Why hasn't Sister Yezi come to save us yet."
"Alas, Sister Yezi doesn't even know we've been captured. It's ridiculous that there are even human traffickers in the fortress..."
Sister Yezi?
Just as Wang Ji Xuan was about to listen carefully, his intuition suddenly twitched slightly, and his spiritual sense detected a slight distortion in the Qiankun.
A jet-black butterfly was falling from the stone wall above, and the distance between it and him and Mu Dan was already...
Less than ten meters.
