When Hayashi River and Fowler came out of the lab, it was already nightfall. Looking at their smiling faces, Fei Yu thought that they had made some important discovery in the lab.
"I don't have any clue about the technology of the hand cannon, but I have made some other special discoveries …"
Hayashi River said, but he was unwilling to reveal the details. He didn't want to tell others that he was going to modify Fowler's body.
Of course, Fowler's origin was also a secret, and he naturally wouldn't leak it.
"We found some clues when we were researching the location of Reggins' secret base …" Fowler said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was pleasantly surprised. They were just discussing which district of the city the secret base was located in.
They didn't expect that Hayashi River and Fowler already had some clues …
Hayashi River glanced at Fowler. The latter didn't say anything about the clues just now. It was obvious that he knew that the body could be modified, so he showed his ability to express goodwill to Hayashi River.
Fowler came to the table and pointed at the city map. He pointed at the intersection of the east and north districts, and drew a few circles.
"I used to work here, and these areas are very suspicious. The secret base is most likely here …" Fowler said with certainty.
He could make such a conclusion not only because of his work there, but also because of the information he obtained from [Foka No.1]'s body.
In the past, when Reggins' identity as a spy was exposed, members of the Annihilator Corps were in charge of hunting him down.
At that time, the scale of the pursuit almost turned the entire Foka Tower upside down. Fowler had long been suspicious of the intersection of the east and north districts.
"Then let's go …" Hayashi River said.
Then, the group went out one after another, each driving their hover cars toward their destination.
There were more than three areas that Fowler had circled. Hayashi River and the others split up.
In the hover car, the Blue Kitty was lying on the seat, sulking with her head down.
Hayashi River glanced at her and knew what she was thinking. He said, "What's wrong? Why aren't you happy that you know your background? Since you're from [Thunder Fortress], your background must be extraordinary. It's not much different from what you guessed before. It's very likely to be a noble creature. "
The little blue cat always had many fantasies about its origins. Because of its various specialties, it once imagined that its own race was a noble species that was comparable to the Dragon Clan.
Hayashi River could understand such speculations. This little guy was still a baby, so it was natural for him to dream.
Actually, not only the Blue Kitty, when Hayashi River first came to this world, he had fantasized about having some super talent, parents with extraordinary backgrounds, sister being a hidden peerless genius, and so on …
This kind of fantasy had nothing to do with species. Any intelligent creature would inevitably have this kind of fantasy.
For this little guy, what it couldn't accept was the fact that it was brought out of [Lightning Fortress] by Fowler. Moreover, it was treated as a gift among the other gifts.
Didn't this mean that within the treasury of the [Thunder Fortress], the wooden ball that it was in was also used as a camphor wood ball to kill insects?
This fact was a huge blow to the Blue Kitty, shattering all of its previous fantasies.
"Meow …"
The Blue Kitty turned its head away, looking like it didn't need to pay attention to it and let it be quiet.
Hayashi River shook his head. While driving the hover car, he pondered, "Actually, you have to think about it this way. Since even the people in [Lightning Fortress] didn't notice the uniqueness of the wooden ball that was stored in it. This means that your origin is even more extraordinary than what we guessed. Perhaps, you are one of those noble species from before the Dark Age? There were species from that era that were even more extraordinary than the Dragon Clan … "
The Blue Kitty suddenly raised its head. Its eyes were sparkling, and its little face suddenly had a cheerful expression. Master was right! This was indeed possible …
"Noble species from the ancient times? Meow … It sounds really loud … "
The little blue cat squinted its eyes and began to speculate out of nowhere again.
Hayashi River secretly laughed, but he was also thinking about the origin of this little guy and what kind of species it was.
According to Fowler, the wooden ball that sealed the Blue Kitty was actually from [Lightning Fortress], and the people there didn't pay much attention to the wooden ball.
This made Hayashi River a little surprised. He originally thought that the wooden ball was stored in Fowler's old residence, and it was deliberately left there. Who knew that the real inside story was like this?
As for the origin of the Blue Kitty, it seemed that he still had to go to [Lightning Fortress] to find out more about it.
Just as he was thinking …
Hayashi River's heart suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look out of the window. The hover car was passing by a street in the Eastern District, and not far away was the City Hall.
In that direction, the eyeball pattern on Hayashi River's forehead appeared, and it rotated slightly, and a figure appeared in his mind.
It was the back of a woman wearing a trench coat. Her slender legs were moving gracefully, and she was walking toward the direction of the City Hall.
There was a slight pain on his forehead, and Hayashi River couldn't help but frown. The feeling of danger wasn't strong, but the way the eyeball pattern suddenly gave him a warning was something that had never happened before.
Immediately, Hayashi River understood that he was also equipped with [The Seventh Armament], which enhanced his ability, and that was why such a situation occurred.
"After this ability is further enhanced, there will be an almost ominous image …" Hayashi River muttered to himself.
This ability was indeed very useful. However, once the power of [The Seventh Armament] was exhausted, it would be difficult for him to have this kind of ominous ability in a short period of time.
"What a pity … charging [The Seventh Armament] is a big problem …"
Hayashi River shook his head, and he secretly calculated how much he could ask for from the prince of the Sea-Ao Empire's royal family.
As he was thinking, Hayashi River had already informed Harpoon, Fowler, and the others about what he had just discovered, and he asked them to contact him and pay close attention to the City Hall.
"What's going on? Is there a problem with the target? "
Mossy Bone's question came from the earpiece. As soon as Hayashi River notified him, he had called up the footage of the City Hall, but he didn't find any trace of the woman.
"Nothing in the surveillance footage. That's right …"
Hayashi River could already conclude that the figure of the woman he just saw was a threat to him.
However, the top priority now was to find Reggins' secret laboratory. The information in it was the most important thing at the moment.
Midnight —
In the border area between the east and the north, Hayashi River and the others had searched the area several times. It wasn't that they didn't find anything; rather, they found too many suspicious places.
The border area between the east and the north was the old city of Faka Tower. Here, buildings with thousands of years of history could be seen everywhere, and any building was worth exploring.
Hayashi River, Mossy Bone, Fei Yu, Fowler, and Harpoon … The group was divided into five groups and searched everywhere. It wasn't until late at night that they made a shocking discovery from Fowler and Harpoon.
"It's here. Come here …"
At the border between the east and the north, there were four streets intersecting. There was a huge building, like a small town, standing on this land.
The predecessor of this building had a rather extraordinary past. It was the site of the City Hall a long time ago, and its history could be traced back to the Hundred-Year War.
After the Hundred-Year War, because of the development of the east city, the City Hall was also moved to the east city to boost the popularity of the east city.
This move, because of the prosperity of the east city, later became a great political achievement of that consul.
Today, this place had long become a dangerous building. It was said that the City Hall had plans to redevelop this place in the next few years.
The hover car drove into a street and stopped in front of a building. Hayashi River got out of the car and looked around. He was also very familiar with the layout of the city. This used to be the center of the City Hall.
Fowler and Harpoon stood in front of the door of a small building, waving at Hayashi River and others while talking in a low voice. They laughed from time to time, quite appreciative of each other.
This place was discovered by Fowler and Harpoon at the same time. The two's methods of finding clues were very similar, which made Fowler think highly of this little white cow.
With such a knowledge of architecture, this little white cow was very talented. If Fowler had time, he would teach it some lost knowledge about architecture and how to use a harpoon.
"Is there anything unusual here?"
Mossy Bone came over, followed by Old Aidan and Hai Wuya. They looked around and found nothing special.
Fowler smiled, raised his hand, and patted on a wall of this building. The layers of debris peeled off, revealing the wall inside.
This wall was very flat and clean. If it weren't for the falling stone chips outside, no one would have thought that this wall was the wall of a dangerous building.
If it weren't for an architectural expert like Fowler, who had a deep understanding of architectural craftsmanship, he wouldn't have found this special place.
As for how Harpoon found this place, it was because he often played here when he was very young. When he came here and found this place, he found something unusual.
"After so many years, this building has hardly tilted. Look at the other buildings …"
Harpoon pointed at the other buildings. In the eyes of ordinary people, perhaps these buildings were no different.
However, in the eyes of Hayashi River and others, it was obvious that the tilt of this building was very different from that of other buildings.
Lin Chuan, Fei Yu, and the others felt lucky. If it weren't for Fowler and Harpoon, as locals who grew up in Foca Tower and had sharp senses and were familiar with the layout of the city, the chances of them discovering the anomaly here were too low.
"Leave it to me to open the door …" Fowler promised with certainty.
The others were a little surprised. How could Fowler be so sure? Only Hayashi River knew that this guy used to be a famous thief on the continent. There were probably not many doors that could stop him.
Now that he thought about it, Hayashi River also understood why Winlington was so interested in architecture in the beginning. It was probably not because of his own interest, but because of other purposes, such as theft, such as stealing … In short, it was something similar.
While thinking about it, there was a click in the wall, as if some switch had been turned on.
Then, a hole was revealed, but it was not in the wall, but on the ground not far away. In the dark passage, there was a burst of cracking sounds that made people's scalps tingle.
"It seems that even if this is not Reggins' secret laboratory, it must have something to do with the army of sea beasts …"
Old Aidan's nose twitched, and he smelled a strange damp smell. It was the smell of sea beasts.
"Follow me …"
Fowler said and scuttled in. His proactive attitude was completely different from the way he had been in battle.
The others did not stop and scuttled in one after another. Not long after, a strange roar came from inside, and fist-sized things surged out like a tide.
"Be careful! These are White Sea Spiders … "
Just as Fowler's warning sounded, a flame lit up, illuminating a scene that made people's scalps tingle.
In the passage ahead, there were countless dark green insects crawling. These insects were somewhat similar to spiders, but they were covered in fine tentacles, and their mouthparts were thin needles.
White Sea Spiders!?
These were poisonous insects from the White Nightmare Sea, and their toxicity could instantly kill a Realm Four expert. But that was not the most terrifying thing.
The most frightening thing was that these [White Sea Spiders] were several times larger than the average.
Ordinary White Sea Spiders were half the size of a palm, and they were already huge spiders. Their toxicity was also more potent.
Wouldn't these fist-sized White Sea Spiders be able to poison a Realm Five expert to death?
Moreover, their numbers were so terrifying that a person with trypophobia would faint on the spot.
In fact, Little White Harpoon had a mild trypophobia, and when it saw this scene, it was so scared that it let out a strange cry.
At this time, countless White Sea Spiders spat venom in unison, almost filling up the passage as they surged over.
Bang!
Fei Yu clenched his fist, and the flame on his fist shone even brighter, condensing into a flame wall that pushed forward.
Sizzle …
When the flame wall came into contact with the dark green venom, it immediately ignited a dark green poisonous smoke, but it could not pass through the flame wall and continued to be evaporated by the flame power.
Fei Yu's Flame Fist was extremely effective against this venom.
However, because this place was too enclosed, the evaporated venom could not completely evaporate, and there was still a dark green poisonous gas surging over.
"Huff …"
Old Aidan blew, and a gust of wind blew. The poisonous gas surged over and wrapped around these White Sea Spiders. Then, countless wind blades intertwined and cut all these poisonous insects into pieces.
Buzz!
Mossy Bone pulled out the Redbud Sword, bent his fingers, and sighed. Fine sword auras intertwined with each other, actually freezing all the venom in the White Sea Spiders' bodies with a cold chill.
For a moment, hundreds of meters in front of the passage became a scene of dark green ice, and no venom was released.
"As expected of a peerless expert!"
Hayashi River sighed softly. If it were any other team, they would have to retreat in the face of thousands of White Sea Spiders.
In such a sealed passage, even if they could eliminate these White Sea Spiders, there would inevitably be casualties …
However, with peerless experts like Fei Yu, Old Aidan, and Mossy Bone, and their unusually rich combat experience, it was very easy to resolve such difficulties.
On the side, Fei Yu heard this and glanced at Hayashi River. This person was not only proficient in mechanical combat techniques, but he was also a peerless expert. He was the strongest in the group, but he was hiding in the middle of the group like a weakling. Was he habitually hiding?
Facing the girl's gaze, Hayashi River knew what she was thinking, but he was helpless. The Seventh Armament did not have much energy left, so he had to use it sparingly.
Putting aside the Seventh Armament, he was indeed a weakling in the group!
