“Yes, sir!”
“All right, once everything is prepared, drink the Night Vision Potion, bring backup lanterns, and let’s set off!”
Kent tilted his head back and drank the Night Vision Potion in his hand, nodding to the security personnel guarding the entrance nearby.
The security guard in the guardhouse reached out and pulled down the lever.
Gears grinding beneath the floor, the metal sluice gate parted in the middle, revealing an underground tunnel lit by alchemy lamps.
“Let’s go. We are headed to the first to third underground levels. They are close to ground level but have diverse terrains and complex layouts. Stay close, or you might get lost.”
Kent led the way, stepping into the sloping underground tunnel.
With the entire team inside the tunnel, the metal gate above slowly closed.
With a click, the door panels sealed shut, leaving no gaps.
The atmosphere in the underground tunnel became oppressive in an instant.
The night vision provided by the potion was limited, allowing everyone to see only about 20 meters around them.
To avoid alarming potential enemies, portable lighting devices such as lanterns were kept as backup emergency lights only.
Blindly, the group followed Kent up the stepstones in silence.
On either side of the underground tunnel, variously sized metal pipes covered the walls, resembling both entangled tree roots and large beast veins.
“Drip, drip… ‘
The sound of water droplets falling from somewhere made the silence of the underground tunnel even more pronounced.
Once they reached the corridor on the first underground level, Kent gauged left and right, seeing no anomalies before waving to Fars Scott and saying,
“Fars Scott, start detecting energy leaks. Repairing the underground facility’s alchemy array is our top priority.”
“All right, leave it to me.”
Fars Scott grabbed a bundle of light from the Alchemy Stone and spread it out in the palm of his hand.
The ball of light shrank and condensed into a palm-sized alchemy device.
Noland Lee had read a lot of alchemy knowledge in the past three days.
He now understood the function of this alchemy device without having to use Deconstruction.
This device, called a ‘Handheld Energy Detection Device,’ can detect abnormal energy fluctuations within a radius of 30 meters.
Common energies used by alchemists include Fire, Air, Earth, and Water elemental energies, as well as soul energy.
Soul Energy can be used as any other energy, with high adaptability.
It can be transformed into other energy types at a certain ratio.
Alchemists use the Alchemy Stone to turn Soul Energy into Four Elements energy.
Whereas Death Herald Guild wizards use Meditation Methods, magic wands, magic robes, or other magical items to turn soul energy into death energy.
