Dean couldn't wait to look inside when the door opened. He saw that everything was the same as when he closed the door. Especially the mattress where he was sleeping was still piled up with garbage from the garbage dump. Now it had long been rotten and dried up, exuding a burst of unpleasant smell.
He didn't care about the garbage and quickly pressed a button on the wall. The inner mezzanine poured out with a click. There were three energy tubes inside. Only the bottom of the energy tube at the end had a little light blue luster. It was extremely beautiful, like precipitated plasma.
Dean quickly took out the energy tube and removed the chip reader. At this time, his face suddenly changed. He quickly closed the freezer, turned around and drilled out of the cage. He didn't look back as he ran to the outer edge of the hall. The green mist here was relatively indifferent. There were other alchemists and potioneers lying on the ground. Only a few of the hundreds of people in the hall had escaped.
Dean hid the energy tube and the chip reader in his robe and slowly climbed to the ground at the outer edge of the hall. At this time, he sensed a smell coming straight towards him.
Dean immediately lay down on the ground and pretended to be unconscious.
After a moment, a team of well-equipped dark knights came to the center of the square outside the hall. They saw the green mist floating in the air around them. Their faces were very ugly. They were led by a young woman and a middle-aged man. They looked at each other. The middle-aged man said in a low voice: "You stay here. Don't let the people inside escape. There is only one passage!" After saying that, he raised his hand and waved. Two Dark Knights stepped out from the group and followed behind him into the poisonous fog.
The middle-aged man and the two dark knights had obviously taken the antidote long ago. They rushed to the hall at full speed with their weapons in hand. The first thing they saw was the divine item in the cage. When they saw that the cage was destroyed, but the divine item was still there, they heaved a sigh of relief. They then looked around the hall and saw that all the people in the hall were unconscious. Those who had the antidote had already run out of the hall, not wanting to get involved in such a battle.
The middle-aged man's eyes were cold as he glanced at the people lying on the ground who had fainted. His eyes were cold as he gestured to the two dark knights behind him.
The two dark knights understood. One of them immediately turned around and retreated. A moment later, he returned to the periphery of the poisonous mist and reported to the young woman, "Captain, the divine item from the previous era is still here. Captain Simon is guarding it inside."
The young lady heaved a sigh of relief. She then turned to the dozen or so Dark Knights behind her and shouted, "Team 1, guard the outer perimeter. Team 2, take the antidote immediately and enter inside to investigate one by one. The assailant is likely to be among these unconscious people. If you see anyone carrying weapons or strange objects, arrest him immediately and await punishment!"
"Yes."
The two squads of Dark Knights behind her immediately obeyed her orders and moved swiftly.
The young woman looked around and said to a Dark Knight, "Let the patrol team send people to control the poisonous gas immediately. Also, let them evacuate the others. Don't cause unnecessary casualties."
"Yes." The dark knight acknowledged, then turned and left.
At this time, the team of Dark Knights who had already taken the antidote lined up and entered the poisonous gas like a carpet. They turned over the unconscious people on the ground one by one and checked their clothes one by one to see if there were any strange objects hidden in them.
The young woman crossed her arms and looked at them coldly.
Suddenly —
Boom!!!
A violent explosion sounded from the ground above them. It was like thunder on the flat ground. It was actually weakened by the layers of soil and the secret passage, but it still had a dull penetrating power.
The young woman was shocked. She couldn't help but look back. Her face was full of surprise.
The middle-aged man standing in the hall also heard the muffled sound coming from afar. He was startled and shocked. This sound seemed to come from the manor above. It was so far away, but there was such a terrible sound?
What happened up there?
Did the assailant escape to the top?
The middle-aged man looked back at the cage and the divine item from the previous era. He gritted his teeth and said to the dark knight, "You stay here and watch. I'll go out and have a look. If anything happens, immediately inform Captain Aisha." After saying that, he immediately rushed out of the hall and came to the young woman who had set up a defensive circle outside the poisonous gas. She asked, "What happened?"
Aisha said in surprise, "There's a big movement outside. Did the assailant escape with the crowd?"
Simon's expression changed. He said, "That's impossible. We came very fast. The assailant fought with the guards in the hall and also used a special method to destroy the cage. During this time, there was no way for him to run out of the hall and rush into the crowd outside."
Aisha said, "But you said the divine item from the previous era is still there. Could it be that he knew it would be difficult to completely destroy the cage and take away the divine item, so he only destroyed half of the cage and ran away with the crowd?"
Simon's expression changed. He thought of the damage marks on the cage. Indeed, if the assailant spent a lot of effort to destroy two small iron pillars, it would indeed take several times more time to destroy the entire iron pillar of the cage. His eyes flashed. He said, "I'll go and have a look. Maybe it's his companion. You continue to guard here." After saying that, he immediately rushed out.
Aisha's eyes were full of worry as she looked at his back.
Dean who was lying in the hall slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the dark knight who was standing in front of the cage. His eyes were cold. The moment he turned his head to the other side, his figure jumped up from the ground and rushed over.
The dark knight's reaction wasn't slow. He felt the movement and immediately turned back. He saw Dean rushing over. His pupils shrank. He quickly waved his sword to resist and opened his mouth to shout.
Whoosh!
Dean swung his arm and a dagger pierced into his mouth, interrupting his scream.
As the dark knight retreated in pain, Dean rushed forward like a black panther. His palm fiercely pressed the handle of the dagger in the dark knight's mouth. Puff! The dagger pierced through the back of the dark knight's head.
The dark knight's body stiffened. His eyes were filled with pain.
Dean pulled out the dagger. He didn't look at the soft body of the dark knight. He turned around and rushed out of the Green Mist. His eyes were full of killing intent. Soon, his figure rushed out of the Green Mist. His footsteps were so light that they couldn't be heard. His figure was reflected in the eyes of the dark knights. The dark knights who were focused on searching the unconscious on the ground were a little slow to react. Their first thought was that the assailant had appeared. Their second thought was to attack and protect themselves!
By the time they held their weapons and were ready to respond, Dean had already rushed in front of one of them. Such a fierce momentum made the dark knight's heart tremble. Although ordinary dark knights had the strength of primary hunters, they didn't have the murderous aura of hunters!
"I can't beat him!" From Dean's momentum and speed, the dark knight's brain immediately helped him to make a judgment. But he knew that he couldn't retreat, so he clenched his teeth and stabbed his sword at Dean's head.
The moment Dean approached, he suddenly turned his body. The bloody dagger in his hand suddenly pierced through the dark knight's chin. Then he didn't stop and ran out of the Green Mist with the dagger.
When Aisha heard the movement inside, she was shocked. She didn't expect that the assailant was still lurking inside. What kind of courage did he have? She quickly pulled out the sword from her waist and stared at the Green Mist. She knew that the person who dared to break in here to snatch the treasures was definitely not an ordinary character.
Whoosh!
Dean broke out of the Green Mist. The indifferent Green Mist didn't hinder his sight. He had already seen the young woman and a team of dark knights behind her. From their positions, there was no doubt who was the strong one inside.
