Xu Yi burned his blood, bursting with urgency, as he sprinted towards Carlyle's direction.
At this mont, his heart was burning with anxiety because the ice mist had just surged towards the sky, attracting Otova's attention, who temporarily ceased the battle to gaze down assessing the situation.
The Eight-headed Sea Serpent also ceased its attack because its original goal was not to kill Otova but to "persuade" it.
Both monsters' strengths were not to be underestimated, and Xu Yi had to find Carlyle before they did.
Just then, a vortex suddenly appeared in the sky above Atlantis, accompanied by blue lightning. Xu Yi watched intently, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition.
The next second, the premonition ca true as two Chrysalis soldiers fell from the vortex.
"They're actually alive!" Xu Yi was too shocked to speak.
Those blue lightnings were actually "Space Blades" ford due to the folding of space, and even with the Body of Demigod, getting repeatedly slashed by those "Space Blades" would not allow one to survive.
Yet, the Chrysalis soldiers seed unhard, with only their "Chrysalis Armor" covered in various scratches that were slowly disappearing.
What in the world could they have been made from?!
Xu Yi suddenly understood why the two had jumped into the vortex without hesitation, not because they were foolish, but because they had no fear.
No wonder the Eight-headed Sea Serpent could only choose to temporarily avoid sharp violence; the defensive power of that "Chrysalis Armor" was astonishingly formidable.
Worse still, the two Chrysalis soldiers were also drawn by the ice mist and rushed toward the direction where the mist rose. With the help of their "Chrysalis Armor," they could leap dozens of ters with each step.
The only good news was that Xu Yi was the closest and arrived first.
"Carlyle!" Xu Yi called out softly.
Within the cold mist, he saw Carlyle's figure.
"Co quickly! I think I've found sothing interesting!" Carlyle's voice quivered with excitent.
Could it be the Forge Chamber? Xu Yi, taken aback, stepped quickly into the icy mist.
The mist was emanating from a hidden tal room, where a steady stream of ice mist poured out. Xu Yi hesitated to enter, his gaze scanning over the walls, his heart pounding secretly.
The material used to forge this room was extraordinary, with intricate patterns etched into the walls, which were actually so kind of Array.
In the corners of the wall, one could occasionally see hollowed-out gears, aning the room was a creation of so Alchemical Machinery.
"How did you find this place?" Xu Yi exclaid in surprise.
The room's security level was certainly "Max" grade; even with brute force, Xu Yi had no confidence he could open it.
Moreover, the room was clearly expertly camouflaged; if the door had not been opened, it would appear as nothing more than an exceptionally ordinary Atlantis-style residence from the outside.
"I saw a small unicorn pattern on the door and out of curiosity, I just pressed it, and then this nine-grid puzzle popped up," Carlyle explained.
Carlyle pointed to the upper right corner of the door where there was a small unicorn pattern.
Xu Yi's mouth twitched slightly, the pattern was very small and hidden under the door fra, difficult to find even with deliberate searching, let alone just passing by.
He looked towards the "nine-grid puzzle" Carlyle was pointing at, growing more curious.
The nine-grid puzzle was clearly the "Key" to the room, a pattern of a crown.
What was strange was that the puzzle had already been restored, so the Treasury in front of them was able to open.
It was as if soone had gone through great pains to forge a highly secure Treasury but after its completion, left the key in the keyhole, not taken away.
Could it be that an abrupt event occurred, so there was no ti to scramble the nine-grid puzzle?
Xu Yi was utterly baffled.
"This nine-grid puzzle is too simple; I randomly fiddled with it, and the pattern was restored," Carlyle muttered quietly.
Xu Yi widened his eyes, staring at Carlyle in disbelief.
You must be the reincarnation of the Goddess of Luck!
The nine-square grid puzzle is simply restoring the pattern, and it's not difficult, as there are thousands of ways to solve it.
But the difficulty lies in, among these thousands of thods, only one is "correct," and using any other thod would make it impossible to open this door.
In short, Carlyle had to follow a strict sequence: move one puzzle piece to the left, then the second, the third, and if any step in between is wrong, the door would instantly lock.
Yet Carlyle casually tried, and he actually figured out the correct password.
What kind of heaven-defying luck is this?
Finally, the icy fog in the room dissipated, and Xu Yi saw the tal room clearly—it was empty, with only a tal vine tree standing tall in the center.
Amongst the entwined tal vines was a "crystal box" the size of a palm, emitting icy fog.
A syringe was encased in the crystal box, with liquid the color of sapphires flowing inside. The liquid seed alive, constantly changing into various shapes.
Anyone could guess that the potion inside the crystal box was of imasurable value.
Xu Yi carefully walked into the room and grabbed the crystal box among the tal vines, and nothing unexpected happened during this process.
The crystal box was cold and piercing to the touch. Xu Yi tried to store the crystal box in his Toy space but found that it was not possible.
Annabelle's "Heart of Toy" rule had failed for the first ti.
But now clearly wasn't the ti to dwell on these matters, and he, along with Carlyle, strode out.
The mont they stepped out of the door, Xu Yi suddenly stopped because the sky suddenly grew overcast. Since there were no clouds drifting in this place, there was only one reason for the darkening sky.
Xu Yi slowly raised his head; the massive Omuva pierced through the mist curtain, floating above Atlantis, its crimson pupils coldly overlooking him.
It wasn't just Omuva; the eight-headed Sea Serpent of the Ring of Destruction and two chrysalis people from an unknown organization were also present.
They were surrounded!
"Hand over the Poseidon Potion! We will spare your life," one of the chrysalis people said, the Mauser gun in their hand pointed at Xu Yi, their eyes fixed on the blue potion inside the crystal box.
It was actually the Poseidon Potion! Xu Yi was startled.
He had certainly heard of the Poseidon Potion's reputation. When he first crafted the God-lting Blood, he had learned about various alchemical potions.
The Poseidon Potion was dubbed "God Ascension Drug." Compared to the harsh usage conditions and hard-to-control side effects of other alchemical potions, the Poseidon Potion was simply a breath of fresh air.
It could be injected by ordinary people.
Even more astonishing was its effect. Though one could only guess from snippets in ancient tos, a person who successfully injected the Poseidon Potion could at least attain the strength of a "Great Exorcist."
In other words, if an ordinary person injected the Poseidon Potion, they could instantly beco a Great Exorcist, which was nothing short of a teoric rise.
Xu Yi suddenly understood; the two chrysalis people had co for the "Poseidon Potion."
No wonder they attacked without a word when they were in the deep sea—they were preemptively eliminating potential rivals.
The situation was extrely unfavorable for Xu Yi. If he wanted to keep the Poseidon Potion, he would have to face a "three-pronged assault."
Even with the Ghost Samurai on his side, they stood no chance.
Xu Yi pulled out a "little toy" from the Toy space, a ball of white clay.
He had made it during his free ti with divine punishnt Crystal Stone.
He covered his hand movents with his arm and silently stuck the clay into a corner of the crystal box. The white clay quickly beca transparent and was virtually undetectable without close inspection.
The fingers of the chrysalis person were already on the trigger, ready to attack at any mont.
Suddenly, Xu Yi flung the crystal box towards the Eight-headed Sea Serpent and shouted, "Boss, I've completed my mission!"
