Chapter 694: Chapter 694 Inside the Sifang Palace

"Snap! Snap!" The player in black clapped his hands high in the air; not far from them, two Black Armored People who had just struggled to their feet in preparation to attack took a nasty spill yet again. He looked toward where Xu Huo was standing, "We’ve achieved our goal, now it’s time to retreat!"

Clad in an Invisibility Cloak, Xu Huo was invisible to the player in black and Yi Pei, but they could determine his position from the noises he made when moving. However, the next second, his voice came from ahead, "Since we’ve come all this way, of course we should go in and take a look!"

The gates of Sifang Palace hadn’t been blasted open, leading him to surmise that a Space-Time Item must have been used inside. New Energy Weapons tend to become ineffective under the influence of Space-Time Items. The force of the blast just now clearly hadn’t reached the full power of an Energy Cannon, which meant that while the Space-Time Item inside dampened the cannon’s force, it hadn’t been strong enough to render it completely ineffective...

This replica might just have a turning point!

Although the gates of Sifang Palace were not destroyed, cracks had appeared. The scattered Black Armored People regrouped in front of the gate. Xu Huo released fire several more times; predictably, the palace was unburnable, and the Black Armored People, their clothes and skin aflame, did not fear the fire at all.

The Black Armored People lined up in front, forcibly increasing the distance between him and Sifang Palace. A rain of bullets came from the front. Xu Huo shifted his position rapidly, sweeping away the Black Armored People in front with a sword, then went silent, sidestepping them as he rushed towards the gate.

"Boom!" A Sword Qi Light Screen appeared in front of the gate, and after the light vanished, a crack actually formed on the door!

But at that moment, his Invisible Suit stopped working as well, and the Black Armored People quickly returned to defense. They didn’t need to Lock-on Target. They just blasted the ground in front of the gate relentlessly!

Just then, a surge of air fluttered in from behind, causing a brief delay in the Black Armored People’s reactions!

The player in black looked at Yi Pei in astonishment, who without looking back, ran off, "It’ll only hold them for a few seconds!"

In reality, Yi Pei had exaggerated the effects of the interference; two seconds at most, and the Black Armored People returned to normal. Part of them, which had all been facing Sifang Palace’s gate, suddenly twisted their heads, facing them with their skinless and eyeless faces.

A crack had formed in the gate of Sifang Palace; Yi Pei and the other player had created an opportunity. They didn’t know whether Xu Huo had managed to get inside, but that was all the help they could provide!

"Let’s go!" The player in black shouted, and not just the two of them, but also several other players who had rushed over from a distance, all turned to leave.

Stealing the big drum would indeed reduce some of the Mental Interference, but the Black Armored People were their most immediate threat. To stay alive, they had to escape from the Black Armored People!

The Black Armored People near Sifang Palace split into two groups. Some turned to chase after Yi Pei and the other players, while the rest stayed guard outside the gate. They didn’t enter Sifang Palace but stood at their original posts as if nothing had happened.

If not for the debris on the ground, as well as the burning corpses and buildings in the distance, along with those screaming in the blazing fire, time seemed to have rewound to just before the ritual had begun.

Xu Huo stood on the nearly pitch-black first floor, looking up to see a giant eye sculpture directly ahead. The palace interior was bathed in red light, and just staring for two to three seconds, the giant eye seemed to wiggle to life.

The massive eyeball rotated left and right, finally fixing its gaze directly on the person standing below. A beam of red light shot out from the pupil, striking him squarely.

Bathed in the crimson light, Xu Huo seemed to lose control, his eyes widening before he shed the Invisibility Cloak from his body.

The Giant Eye shifted slightly to the left, and he too looked to the left.

The giant eye turned another notch to the left, and he glanced to the left as well.

A squelching, wet sound emanated from the angry, trembling eyeball, and Xu Huo saw that the direction the giant eye was prompting him to go was utterly devoid of light, as if something in the depths was watching him, drawing him in.

"Did you hear anything?" Xu Huo turned back to look at the giant eye.

The constantly moving giant eye calmed down, and gradually, the indistinct sound of speaking replaced the noise of the eye’s movements, echoing in every corner of the palace.

As the voices grew louder, the still eyeball suddenly trembled violently, its red glow abruptly vanished, and the eyeball returned to its previous inanimate state. With the retreat of the red light, the first floor of Sifang Palace returned to its prior darkness.

Although he couldn’t see very clearly, it wasn’t as pitch black as the direction the eye had indicated for him to go.

Aside from the main hall that enshrined the giant eye, the first floor of the Sifang Palace had corridors five to six meters wide on either side. Without turning off the "Murmur Sphere," Xu Huo held up a lighting device and headed in the opposite direction that the giant eye had signalled, towards the right.

Two minutes later, he arrived at a corner only to find a corridor that was exactly the same. He paused to knock on a window, and the next second, a dark red light poured in from outside. The entire corridor seemed to be instantly immersed in blood-red, with eyes opening on the walls and ceilings, active eyeballs watching him from different directions and angles, and the red light growing ever more intense!

Feeling an unprecedented pressure, Xu Huo immediately opened a door in front of him and went up from the first to the second floor of the palace.

Normally, his projected spiritual world would not have been large enough to cover such a wide area, but he knew upon entering, that Sifang Palace was also a place to exercise spiritual power. In other words, the boss of this instance intended to control him with mental interference here, but he could also take the opportunity to open his own spiritual world.

However, he only opened it for a moment before he felt a sharp pain in his head, and he instantly understood that he was not as evolved as the instance boss. This was not a place to linger.

Of course, he was not just going to walk away.

Donning the Diamond Gloves, he poured a mixture of contaminants and microbes onto his hand and smeared it on various places in the Sifang Palace as he walked.

To his surprise, the Sifang Palace seemed to have a suppressive effect on the contaminants. Within a few seconds, the liquid he had smeared quickly shrank and dried, solidifying into a thin, film-like substance.

A heavy breath came from the end of the corridor, and before Xu Huo could look back, he felt a gust of wind. He sharply turned his head, as an enormous axe brushed past his shoulder, gouging a furrow in the ground!

"Straight-line distance!" He started to run, and no sooner had he moved forward than the spot where he had been standing was torn apart by something that resembled a tentacle, and from the depths of the corridor from which the tentacle had come seemed to loom a massive creature, askew with several eyes!

Xu Huo only looked for a moment and frowned, for although the creature did not show its form, every eyeball the size of a human head was crammed full of densely packed human eyes, and eeriest of all, those eyes could still move and see!

Without hesitation, he draped his Invisibility Cloak over himself and turned to run forward.

"Gurgle!" With a single step, an eye also emerged from the floor beneath him, staring fixedly at him!
