"Not necessarily."
Li Yao maneuvered Neltharion to circle around the Fire Ant three times and observed the surface structure of the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle'.
His eyes were beaming, as if he were intoxicated.
"In the past ten years, while I've been working hard, other people have been training crazily, too. Jiang Shaoyang's expertise in refining has indeed soared. This is not a piece of magical equipment at all; it is more like a huge conundrum for other refiners!
"At first glance, it is just a piece of very common confinement magical equipment. The spiritual stripes and rune arrays carved on it are all mature rune arrays that have been applied for hundreds of years. The only difference is that they are slightly more precise because of their connection."
"However, Jiang Shaoyang has treacherously modified thirty-nine of the rune arrays with the tiniest strokes. He has even adjusted nine of the rune arrays in the micrometer level and changed the flow of the spiritual energy circuits by means of 'disconnection' and 'reconnection'!
"According to the general design of the 'Nine Shades Bone Biting Rune Array', the spiritual energy circuits of the rune array should be in the shape of a swastika, running clockwise. If one wants to crack it, one has to reverse it and start from the counterclockwise direction.
"However, Jiang Shaoyang has changed the flow of the spiritual energy circuits from clockwise to counterclockwise with only three crystal threads that can only be seen with a microscope!
"As a result, if the cracker still transmits his spiritual energy in the counterclockwise direction, not only will he fail to crack the rune array, he will also accelerate the activation of the rune array!
"Sordid. Too sordid. I didn't expect that the big bald Jiang Shaoyang would become a refiner like me after ten years!
"This' Nine Yin Bone Corrosion Rune Array ', on the other hand, is the most straightforward and brutal of all his traps.
"Huh. No. It's not as simple as that. Not only has he changed the flow of spiritual energy from clockwise to counterclockwise, he has also modified the overall structure of the rune array from a swastika to a hexagram? The 'swastika' on the surface is just a disguise! "
Li Yao was soaked in cold sweat.
"It can't be. So horrifying? What had this big baldy Jiang Shaoyang experienced in the past ten years?! No wonder he was invincible in the Federation with the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle. Even his uncle 'Supernova' Jiang Sheng and the entire Refining Department of Deep Sea University failed to crack it!
Just as Li Yao was marveling at the scene. The Fire Ant sent another message: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Li Yao: "Sorry, I was too engrossed. Let me study it for another three minutes."
Li Yao activated a ray of penetration on Neltharion and shot it at the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle' that tied up the Fire Ant.
The eight blade-like scorpion legs were deeply embedded in the Fire Ant's body. They were only 0.1 millimeters away from the major organs.
Especially that sinister scorpion tail. After circling around the Fire Ant's spine three or four times, it finally pierced through the cervical vertebrae and into the back of the head, which was the most fatal part.
The so-called 'maggots on the bone' was nothing more than this.
Both a demon emperor and a Yuanying would have a headache if they were confined by such a piece of magical equipment.
Besides, there was no telling what materials Jiang Shaoyang had used to craft the magical equipment. When Li Yao improved the level of his penetration and tried to pry into the internal structure of the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle', part of the critical parts … His penetration was blocked!
"This is bad. Even if I can open the shell of the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle', Jiang Shaoyang must have hidden more sordid traps and traps inside!
"Damn it. How can the magical equipment be unlocked as easy as Elder Nether Spring described? All you need to do is to unlock a hundred rune arrays at the same time?
"An expert of refining such as' Supernova 'Jiang Sheng might be able to unlock a hundred rune arrays at the same time. But it is just an appetizer before the real battle!
"Jiang Shaoyang. Not bad. The magical equipment that you have crafted is definitely qualified to be called the 'national treasure' of the Xing Yao Federation! "
The Fire Ant sent another message anxiously. "What are you doing?"
"I'm studying the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle' and coming up with a new plan!"
Li Yao said solemnly. "Fire Ant, the appearance of the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle' has disrupted our operation. Therefore, I've drafted a new plan for your reference.
"Elder Nether Spring's purpose is to exploit all the information in your head. Therefore, 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin will not kill you immediately. He will torture you for a couple of days.
"It means that we still have a couple of days!
"In the next couple of days, hurry up and tell me all the valuable information in your head, including the secret strongholds of the Blade of Chaos, the contacts of all the spies, the top-secret formulas of the strengthening drugs, the ways to grow the demonic plants, and of course, your secret vaults, treasuries, and unparalleled techniques!"
"Then, you will appoint me as the next leader of the 'Blade of Chaos'!
"I will figure out a way to rescue the brothers of the Blade of Chaos. Then, the Blade of Chaos will join hands with the Xing Yao Federation to overthrow the reign of the Pantheon of Demons and fulfill the last wish of God Chaos and you. I will avenge you. What do you think?"
"… No," the Fire Ant said.
"Alright," Li Yao said. "Then, we can only stick to the original plan."
The Fire Ant was dazed. "The original plan?"
Li Yao blinked. "The original plan is that I will ask Neltharion to scout the environment first and find out where all the captives are kept.
"Right. Since this place is the base of the Nether World Watch, Elder Nether Spring's secret nest, and all kinds of terrifying experiments are going on here, there must be a lot of biochemical brains and crystal processors with high computational ability.
"A lot of Elder Nether Spring's secrets must be stored here!
"After I get you out of here, the two of us will turn this place upside down. Then, we will rescue the captives, steal the mainframe biochemical brain or crystal processor, and steal a devilish warship in the end before we run away!
"The Gloomy Wind Island in the North Pole is haunted by raging winds all year round. The communication between the outside world and this place is very inconvenient. Most of the spiritual energy is blocked there. I believe that Elder Nether Spring must have considered that too when he set up his nest here.
"However, in such a case, no matter what we do here, Elder Nether Spring will not notice us very soon. Even if he notices us, it will be impossible for him to come back immediately!"
"Wait!"
The Fire Ant frowned. "The question is, how are you going to get me out of the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle'? The controller of the magical equipment is in the hands of 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin. Although the guy's nickname is' Mad Medic ', he has transplanted the organs of many experts into his body. He seems to have injected himself with countless complicated viruses and strengthening drugs, too. His combat ability was already in the' high-level demon king 'eight years ago. Now that he has joined Elder Nether Spring's side and controlled Elder Nether Spring's secret nest, he can only be stronger than before. Chances are that he is an authentic demon emperor!
"It will not be easy for you to steal the controller from him.
"Besides, how can the magical equipment refined by 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang be so simple without considering the possibility that the controller might be stolen? I estimate that there must be some sort of 'bloodline binding' or 'soul authentication' rune arrays on the controller. It will be useless even if you steal the controller! "
"I know that."
Li Yao said. "That's why I asked you, Fire Ant, are you willing to pass on the leadership of the Blade of Chaos to me? Rest assured. I will certainly kill Elder Nether Spring and avenge you!"
"… No," the Fire Ant replied.
"Then, it can't be helped. I can only take the risk and crack the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle' by brute force!" Li Yao said.
The Fire Ant was dazed. He found it hard to believe. "Are you confident?"
Li Yao smiled confidently. "Rest assured, Fire Ant. In fact, I am an experienced refiner myself. I have profound studies and unique insights on all kinds of explosive magical equipment. I also know a thing or two about the refining style of 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang. Therefore …"
The Fire Ant was overjoyed. "Therefore?"
"Therefore," Li Yao said, "even if the brute force fails, I am absolutely confident that the damage will only be focused on the Fire Ant and not me!
"It means that I still have a good chance of rescuing the elites of the Blade of Chaos under the Fire Ant's command!
"However, just in case, I suggest that the Fire Ant leave a will and pass on the leadership of the Blade of Chaos to me in case the Blade of Chaos completely collapses without a leader!"
"…" The Fire Ant.
Li Yao licked his lips. "Alright. Fire Ant, you can figure out how to crack the barriers that Elder Nether Spring planted first. I'll ask Neltharion to scout the environment outside and figure out how to deal with the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle'."
Li Yao had never forgotten the bold declaration that he made in front of thousands of people when he was young and arrogant.
He had defeated the Refining Department of Deep Sea University, the holy land of refiners!
"Even 'Supernova' Jiang Sheng and the entire Refining Department of Deep Sea University failed to crack the magical equipment. What if I crack it?"
Neltharion flew up agilely and hovered inside the interrogation chamber.
The door of the interrogation chamber was not a fence but a fully-enclosed one. It was impossible to break through from the door unless' Mad Medic 'Lu Wuxin opened the door and walked in.
However, 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin was probably an expert in the demon emperor level, too. It was too risky to fly above his head.
The 'Nether World', Elder Nether Spring's nest, had been built based on Ba Yanzhi's war base forty thousand years ago. Many of the buildings had been left from forty thousand years ago and were in an ancient style. It was especially so in the frigid North Pole, where a drop of water would be frozen into ice. Ventilation and heating tubes had been installed on the ceiling of the room.
Li Yao soon discovered the entrance of the ventilation tube in the southeast corner of the room.
The ventilation tube was only one foot in diameter. Unless one had grasped the secret arts such as' bone shrinking arts' or 'bone softening arts', it was impossible for an adult to pass through.
