Hao Ren was usually a pushover, but when it came to the critical moment, he was a simple and brutal man. Strength could create miracles. When a normal person saw something locked in a safe, they would think of a way to crack the lock and open the safe. Hao Ren, on the other hand, was ready to smash the entire safe down from the wall and carry it away.
But just as the silver spear in his hand was about to cut the metal box, Lanina suddenly stopped him. "Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren held the alloy spear and did not know what was going on.
Lanina quickly pointed at the shimmering runes behind the metal box and said, "It's an alarm device. As long as there is a problem with the connection between the box and the wall, or the box leaves the building, it will trigger the alarm. I'm afraid the guards of the entire camp will be attracted."
Only then did Hao Ren notice that the metal box and the surrounding walls and floor were not only connected by the 'metal tentacles', but there were also some wandering light streams under the metal tentacles. This thing had a higher safety factor than the high-tech vaults on Earth!
Lanina, as a former military advisor of Y'zaks, had a deep knowledge of various magic and alchemy from the human world. She quickly checked the various settings on the metal box, and subconsciously twisted her tail into a small ball behind her. "The box can't be shaken violently, the lock can't be opened by force, and the integrity of the shell can't be destroyed. Even a corner of the box will trigger the alarm. The box is attached to the building, so it can't be removed or moved. There is a whole set of sensors here. If the box leaves the room, it will alarm. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, the building itself also has a magic circle to detect the status of the box. Once the magic flow on the box stops, the whole building will also alarm. "
Hao Ren was dumbfounded. "What's the meaning of this? You're a magical world. Why are you researching such high-tech stuff?"
"What's high-tech?" Lanina looked at Hao Ren with a puzzled look. "This is an alchemy masterpiece of elves and dwarves. It seems that the crystal must be very important to them... We've miscalculated."
Hao Ren was also a bit confused. The others' actions were perfect, but he did not expect the real difficulty was this box. No wonder Grigory was lured away so easily. It turned out that the real security measure was not the human general, but the device in front of him.
He racked his brains on how to deal with this hot potato: he could not open it, touch it, or even carry it, so he could only...
An idea flashed in Hao Ren's mind. He patted Lanina's shoulder and said, "Let's go out first."
Confused, the succubus followed Hao Ren out of the window and returned to the outside of the watchtower. At this time, it was still a mess outside. A small part of the poisonous rock steam from the Magic Scar Canyon had spread to the barracks. The soldiers were strengthening enchantments everywhere to prevent the spread of the poisonous gas. The sentries around the watchtower were also knocked out by Lanina's charm spell, so they were not paying attention to them for the time being. The 'demonic army' in the distance was already in contact with the allied soldiers. It was estimated that they would be exposed in a few minutes.
"What are you going to..." Lanina turned her head and glanced at Hao Ren, but the latter raised his hand and patted the watchtower. "Retrieve —"
The Dimensional Pocket instantly opened, and the entire watchtower disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the foundation...
Lanina: "...?"
"Go to the otherworldly dimension and call the police." Hao Ren grinned, dragged the succubus and ran. "Go and meet up with the big guy!"
Lanina had yet to react. She had seen many things in her life, and she had seen thousands of strange people from all kinds of races, but she had never seen someone who did not play by the rules like this! She came to steal something, but found that the box could not be opened, and this guy actually took the whole house away...
At the same time, Grigory led his soldiers and charged towards the fiendish Devil Elite Soldiers.
A three-meter-tall higher demon with a huge axe rushed towards him. The dark green demonic flame on the obsidian axe was terrifying, and even the battle-hardened soldiers around him slightly flinched. But Grigory was not afraid. His longsword was burning with a majestic silver-white light, and he rushed towards the enemy like a humanoid holy light.
The longsword met the battle-axe, and the two slashed across silently. The entire demon was burned by the Holy Light, and with an illusory "bang" sound, it turned into a thin red mist that quickly dissipated. A bat fell from the sky, but no one paid attention to this small black shadow.
Grigory was still holding his longsword, waiting to fight the demon. He was stunned for a long time, but did not feel the murderous aura. He looked up and saw the scene of the blood mist dissipating.
His heart skipped a beat. He looked around, and found that the other demons that the soldiers were fighting were also turning into blood mist. But the other phantoms would only dissipate after a certain amount of time. Only on his side, the power of the high-grade paladin's attack had exceeded the limits of the phantoms, and destroyed them.
"It's fake!" A soldier suddenly shouted. Grigory immediately realized that he had been tricked.
"These are all phantoms!" Grigory shouted. "Team One, Team Two, follow me back to defend!"
The 'demonic army' was still baring its fangs and brandishing its claws. But when the soldiers realized that these were all harmless phantoms, they understood that they were just holding them back. So, no one bothered to deal with these weird phantoms, and everyone followed Grigory back to defend. The 'demons' seemed to have lost interest and scattered. The 'hellhound' that was used to make up the numbers looked up, and then ran away with a rock in its mouth.
No one noticed that there was a vampire lying in the fur on the back of the 'hellhound'.
Grigory returned to the camp, and stood in front of a vaguely familiar empty space, wondering if he had gone to the wrong place. He turned to look at his guard. "... We're not going the wrong way, are we?"
"We're not..." The guard was also dumbfounded.
Grigory stared at the empty space, and for a moment, he did not remember that he should be concerned about the red crystal. He scratched his head and pondered for a long time before he said, "... Where's my house?"
While the camp was in chaos, Hao Ren and the rest had already left the center of the chaos by using a pre-planned route, and headed towards the north of Osidian Plain. Soon, they arrived at an obsidian cluster that was a blind spot of the Allied Army's surveillance.
This place was far away from most of the Allied Army's tents, and the nearest outpost was ten kilometers away. The reason why the Allied Army did not set up a garrison here was that the obsidian cluster was located at the intersection of two lava rivers. Several huge obsidian clusters were surrounded by lava rivers spewing toxic gas, and the safe space inside the obsidian clusters could not hide many people. Even the demons would not choose this place to stay, so naturally, no one cared about it.
A thin mist barrier shrouded the obsidian clusters, keeping the scorching and toxic gas out. On the empty space surrounded by several obsidian clusters was Hao Ren and the rest who had successfully met up. Wuyue had already transformed into her mermaid form, and was currently soaking her whole body in a large basin to reduce water loss, and at the same time maintaining the mist barrier around her. Lil Pea was swimming around her, and the two fishes were quite satisfied with the current situation.
Humans could only appreciate the benefits of a comfortable life in a harsh environment. Usually, Wuyue would complain that the pool in the swimming pool was too small, but now, she was so happy with just a basin...
"I told you, there's no blood magic in this world, and they definitely wouldn't be able to tell that the demons were created by the Blood Mist Phantom." Vivian was boasting proudly. "Speaking of which, didn't things go well today?"
"It's all thanks to Y'zaks." Wuyue's tail came out of the basin and swung. "He knew how those guys would react in different situations... What an old rival."
Hao Ren took out a small dark-red stone from his dimensional pocket. "This is the crystal."
Vivian looked at him in surprise. "Is the house still in your dimensional pocket? How did you get the crystal out? "
Hao Ren shrugged. "Don't I have an autonomous robot in my dimensional pocket? I asked it to cut the box open, and let it call the police. It's in the dimensional pocket anyway, and there's no wifi in there... "
At the end of his sentence, Hao Ren was a little emotional. "Actually, we should have thought of this from the beginning, it would have saved us a lot of trouble... Still, our thinking is not broad enough."
Vivian looked at Hao Ren with a strange expression. She could not imagine how far this guy's thinking could go...
"Alright, let's see what Y'zaks' 'last words were all about." Hao Ren handed the dark-red crystal to Lanina. "Do you know how to use it?"
Lanina nodded and carefully injected magic into the crystal, and a mirage magically appeared above the crystal.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
It was really Y'zaks in the mirage! Even the iconic broken horn was vividly imitated!
