Outside of the interrogation chamber where the Fire Ant was locked, Li Yao swaggered forward.
Neltharion, on the other hand, was leading the way for him. Whenever a seemingly vigilant soldier of the Nether World Watch appeared in front of him, he would change his route naturally.
Thankfully, the riot of the captives had attracted a large number of soldiers of the Nether World Watch. The floor was empty. There were not many soldiers of the Nether World Watch.
The door of the interrogation chamber was locked.
Li Yao's face remained unchanged. He secretly grabbed a cluster of liquid metal that was as sticky as plasticine and placed it where the lock should be.
He pressed it hard. The liquid metal immediately leaked in and became as hard as iron under the vibration of spiritual energy at different frequencies.
He turned it softly. After a click, the door of the interrogation chamber was opened.
Li Yao retracted the liquid metal. He stuck his left hand to his ear and nodded quickly. "Yes. Yes. I understand now. This place is no longer safe. The key persons must be transferred immediately!"
As he spoke, he walked in.
In the four corners of the interrogation chamber, four tall and brawny soldiers of the Nether World Watch were standing. Judging from the demon cores embedded to their bodies, they were at least high-level demon generals.
The four of them had been specially arranged by Lu Wuxin to watch over the Fire Ant. Their reactions were triggered the moment the door was opened. However, Li Yao's words confused them and made them look at each other in bewilderment for a moment in bewilderment.
It was exactly the moment that took their lives!
"Pu!"
Li Yao spat out a streak of blue brightness from his mouth. It turned out to be a hollow metal ball that was spinning quickly.
The blue brightness enveloped the entire interrogation chamber like water!
The moment the blue brightness blinked, Neltharion darted toward the soldier of the Nether World Watch who was the furthest away without a sound. The drill of mystic rays was activated to the maximum and drilled into the center of his eyebrows, before it burst out from the back of his head!
Two streaks of coldness flashed on Li Yao's hands. Like two invisible feathers, they revolved around the necks of two soldiers of the Nether World Watch.
Before they realized what was going on, a narrow, long red line appeared on their necks and spread all the way. It was on the back of their necks.
Holding their necks, the two of them slowly fell to the ground against the wall. Not a single drop of blood flowed out of their mouths even when their eyes were dull.
The last soldier of the Nether World Watch maintained the posture of drawing his saber.
He was also the only one among the four who managed to draw his saber half an inch.
Until there were streams of blood. It was only when the weird mist flowed out in front of him that they could clearly see that the man's brain, vocal cords, and heart had been completely destroyed by dozens of mica threads!
All of this happened within half a second.
Until now. The door behind Li Yao slowly closed.
"Shua!"
Li Yao took back the mica threads. Shaking off the blood in midair, the soldier of the Nether World Watch collapsed to the ground, with dense blood spots all over his face and body.
"So it's you."
Fire Ant, who was still bound to the operating table by the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle, suddenly narrowed his eyes and muttered, "I didn't expect it to be such a young Yuanying!"
"Who are you? I've carefully studied all the Yuanying experts in the Tian Yuan Realm, but you don't seem to exist. "
"A human Yuanying can disguise himself as a low-level demon. Lurking in the Blade of Chaos is truly terrifying. What are you up to exactly? "
Li Yao's eyes were fixed on the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle, unable to stop himself. He smiled and said, "Right now, I only want to crack the magical equipment!"
Fire Ant was dazed. He asked, "Right here? Surveillance cameras are everywhere! "
"That's why I spat out this little blue bead into the air the moment I entered the door."
Li Yao explained, "It is called 'Light Condensing Image Fixing Pearl'. It has two main functions. Firstly, it can interfere with all the surveillance cameras after scanning the environment. Both the crystal cameras and the biochemical eyes can be interfered with so that the picture of the surveillance cameras will be maintained at the moment it was scanned. "
Fire Ant frowned. "Are you suggesting that the enemy will see a static picture where the four guards are standing all the time?"
"Exactly. Although loopholes will be exposed as time goes by, it shouldn't be a problem for several minutes."
"Several minutes?"
Fire Ant was dumbfounded. In only several minutes, the guy was trying to crack the magical equipment of 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang, a top-tier master of refining of the Xing Yao Federation?
Judging from the guy's aggressive magical equipment and fast attacks, he should be a battle-type Cultivator. Did he really know how to crack the magical equipment?
A lot of questions popped up in Fire Ant's head.
Li Yao moved his fingers, and Cosmos Rings appeared on his fingers one after another. Hundreds of tools and components flew out of the Cosmos Rings like a storm and floated around him like an enormous fleet in the deep universe.
"The second function is to block all the waves that are sent to this place, including telepathic thoughts, spiritual energy, electromagnetic waves, and demonic energy!"
Li Yao continued. "The controller of the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle is in Lu Wuxin's hands. But no matter how he activates it, he needs to send a wave to the receiver rune array of the magical equipment in order to detonate it, right?
"It means that after all the waves are blocked, he will not be able to detonate the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle directly!"
Fire Ant was overjoyed, but he was deeply suspicious. "Is it as simple as that?"
"Of course not!"
Li Yao had prepared all the tools and components. His eyes were more and more heated. The smooth curve of the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle was even more attractive than that of a young girl.
What he retrieved from the Cosmos Ring in the end was a warm, smooth jade. He rubbed the jade in his hands quickly, as if he were washing his hands with soap.
Something amazing happened. Under the high-frequency vibration of his hands, the jade became smaller and smaller like soap until it disappeared. His hands, on the other hand, became translucent, as if they were made of jade. Spiritual energy was flowing out of his every pore, as if flowers would blossom in the gaps of his fingers.
Li Yao did not use any tools. He rubbed the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle back and forth for a long time, indulging in it. Even the Fire Ant felt creeped out.
"Hey. This is the ultimate treasure of the Xing Yao Federation. Are — are you sure you can do it?"
Li Yao licked his lips. His hands suddenly grabbed the shell on the two sides of the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle like a pair of tongs and pulled it apart brutally. "I'd like to know the answer to that, too!"
After a crack, the shell was opened. The violent movement almost made the Fire Ant cry out.
After the shell of the 'Venomous Scorpion' was opened, components and super-tiny rune arrays that were a hundred times more precise than a clock, as well as 3D chips smaller than a grain of rice, were all revealed.
"At least 125,000 components have been integrated into a piece of magical equipment that is the size of a beast puppet and is controlled by more than five hundred chips. On the surface, there are more than a hundred defense rune arrays, but in fact, there are more than seven hundred interlocking defense rune arrays!
"The magical equipment that Jiang Shaoyang has refined is indeed at the peak of barrier magical equipment!"
Li Yao put an ordinary-looking mini crystal processor on his wrist. In the slot on the top of the crystal processor was a long, narrow antenna. He aimed the 'antenna' at the core component of the 'Venomous Scorpion' and scanned it carefully for a moment. Then, a line of glittering numbers popped up on the light beam of the crystal processor.
"Four minutes and thirty-seven seconds!"
"Four minutes and thirty-six seconds!"
"Four minutes and thirty-five seconds!"
Li Yao nodded quickly, with intense appreciation beaming out of his eyes. "As I expected!"
The Fire Ant had a bad feeling. "What do you mean by 'as I expected'?"
"The Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle has indeed adopted a dual control system."
Li Yao explained, "Under normal circumstances, the magical equipment can be remotely controlled by the controller. However, remote control with telepathic thoughts can be easily interfered with, especially in a battlefield where spiritual energy is surging and changes all of a sudden. The connection between the magical equipment and the controller can be cut off at any moment.
"If the magical equipment fails the moment it is interfered with, how can it be called an 'ultimate treasure'?
"Therefore, 'Solar Eclipse' Jiang Shaoyang has prepared two different control systems for the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle'. Under normal circumstances, the controller will be used to control the magical equipment. But when the spiritual waves are interfered with and the connection between the magical equipment and the controller is cut off, the magical equipment will automatically jump to the 'countdown' mode.
"If the connection between the controller and the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle is not restored in a certain amount of time, the 'Venomous Scorpion' will automatically detonate and blow up whoever is locked inside!
"During the period of time, the user can adjust the timer freely. Elder Nether Spring has set the timer to five minutes!
"Right. There are still four minutes and one second to go."
"… In fact, you really don't need to waste your time explaining so much," the Fire Ant said. "I'm not interested in magical equipment. You'd better focus your attention and figure out how to crack it!"
"It's fine," Li Yao said. "I'll sort through my thoughts while we talk. It doesn't matter. Right. Didn't you want to know the origins of the demon race? Since we are free now, why don't I explain everything to you?"
"That's unnecessary, really unnecessary," the Fire Ant said. "There will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
"Alright then."
Li Yao took a deep breath. His right eye seemed to have turned into a bottomless swirl, and his left eye was so red that blood seemed to be dripping out at any moment. Dozens of mica threads that were thinner than hair crawled into the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle like snakes under the control of his spiritual energy.
His movements couldn't have been gentler. Every mica thread was careful not to touch any component of the 'Venomous Scorpion'. He was simply studying the structure of the 'Venomous Scorpion' and the way to carve the key rune arrays.
Behind him, almost ten thousand components were condensing into towers of sand like sand that were alive, only to collapse after only half a second, which meant that one of the cracking plans had failed.
"Three minutes and thirty-two seconds. Three minutes and thirty-one seconds.
The countdown is still going on. In three and a half minutes, the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle will explode.
"Shua!"
Deep inside the 'Venomous Scorpion', dazzling mystic rays suddenly beamed out of one of the rune arrays.
Li Yao cursed. His hands turned into two clusters of gray mist, and all the mica threads were cramping crazily!
