Chapter 813: 257. Ironclad Evidence of the Hidden Chamber 3

This little thing resembled a miniaturized drilling car.

The drill bit, forged from high-performance magic alloy, had been enchanted with multiple effects by Noland Lee, enough to break through the hard underground rock layers.

Noland named it the Drilling Mechanical Spirit.

He placed it on the ground, activated the array with “Mind Control,” and watched as the Drilling Mechanical Spirit burrowed into the ground level.

To see the outside of the hidden chamber more clearly, Noland equipped this little device with a luminescent array.

When it reached about one meter above the hidden chamber, Noland activated the luminescent array, and in the well-lit field of magic vision, he continued to control the mechanical spirit to drill downward.

After drilling down another meter, with a slurping sound, the drill bit found empty space, leaving a round entrance on the floor.

Water-blue energy radiance scattered out from the entrance, falling into Noland’s magic vision.

Looking through the entrance, Noland saw a layer of energy membrane constructed from deep sea magic power.

Behind the energy membrane was a hard magic metal wall.

“Sure enough, I didn’t find the wrong place. The energy membrane is an energy barrier shaped by deep sea magic, and the magic metal wall is the wall of the hidden chamber. Now, I’m about to face the most difficult step.”

Noland did not control the mechanical spirit to drill through the energy membrane and the metal wall; instead, he took out several more Drilling Mechanical Spirits and placed them on the floor.

In total, eight Drilling Mechanical Spirits worked tirelessly for over half an hour, creating a vertical shaft for Noland that led straight down to the energy membrane.

Noland cast “Death Flight” and flew down to the bottom of the vertical shaft.

Breaking through the floor with the circular hole beneath his feet would allow him to directly touch the hidden chamber’s energy barrier.

Noland stored the Drilling Mechanical Spirits and took out the “Sword of Silence” and a Silent Magic Stone.

He extracted the mana from the magic stone and infused it into the “Sword of Silence.”

As a grey, murky radiance lit up on the blade, Noland, without a word, aimed the sword tip at the breach beneath his feet and thrust down.

“Crack, crack…”

The sword blade slid along the edge of the hole and fully penetrated the entrance.

The “Sword of Silence” pierced through the water-blue energy barrier and the magic metal wall in a single stroke.

Noland withdrew the sword blade and threw a “Tracking Mark” into the breach in the metal wall.

What followed unfolded extremely quickly, not totaling more than two seconds!

Leveraging the memory fragments of Sidney Palmida, Noland quickly understood the layout beyond the metal wall.

He threw a “Mind View” towards the “Tracking Mark” behind the wall and saw a narrow but luxuriously tiled corridor.

A series of “Tracking Marks” were thrown, with one “Mind View” after another rapidly shifting the viewpoint, causing Noland’s magic vision to flicker quickly.

In just one second, he saw the spacious grand hall featuring the floating miniature ocean.

The illusion avatar of Sidney Palmida was lifelike, even the two little tufts of his mustache had been replicated to perfection.

The moment the energy membrane and the magic metal wall were cut open by the “Sword of Silence,” an array inside the grand hall, indicating an anomaly in the outer protective circle, lit up.

This array was now emitting a yellow warning light.

When Noland observed the illusion avatar through his magic vision, it was just startled awake by the light from the array, snapping out of its standby state with eyes closed.

The illusion avatar glanced at the array emitting the yellow light with a blank expression and tiled its head. It then closed its eyes as if nothing had happened and returned to its standby state.

It was as though it had been awakened by a nightmare only to find everything was just a dream.

The illusion avatar of Sidney Palmida was a high-quality item.

Not only could it carry the consciousness of its original, but it also possessed a slight amount of intelligence, able to flexibly assess the situation in the hidden chamber.

Noland used “sense tampering” at the very first moment to interfere with its judgment.

The array, still flashing yellow in its eyes, now appeared as an unlit, all-is-well array.

Seeing his operation succeed, Noland couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, although he remained vigilant.
