Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 450 The Third Secret Chamber (Daily Life)

If his assumptions about the materials used to compress the energy in the air cannon are correct, he must bring back the corpse of the giant three-legged ammonite that may have originated from the same period as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. The value of that corpse may even exceed that of the metal giant before him.

But before that...

Huo Yuhao raised the huge starlight sapphire storage soul tool in his hand, and a siphon-like feeling instantly came from the huge starlight sapphire in his hand. Huo Yuhao felt his soul power rapidly flowing away, and in just a moment, a quarter of it disappeared.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Huo Yuhao's hands were trembling with nervousness. In his eyes, this thing was far more valuable than the embryo of that 100,000-year-old soul beast. If the people of the Sun Moon Empire really discovered it, they would probably kill him at all costs.

A beam of blue light shot out from the dazzling surface of the star sapphire, radiating outwards in mid-air. A corresponding beam of light also emanated from the forehead of the massive metal figure. The two beams collided in mid-air, instantly illuminating the entire enormous laboratory with their brilliant blue hue.

Fortunately, the burst of blue light did not last long. When the light subsided, the giant metal figure had already disappeared.

Huo Yuhao quickly stuffed all the experimental records, core array blueprints, and other miscellaneous items in the laboratory into the Starlight Sapphire Storage Soul Tool, not even sparing the stools in the laboratory.

With these experimental records and blueprints for the core array, this giant soul-guided metal machine truly has value. Otherwise, even if it were brought back to Shrek Academy, it would take Shrek several hundred years to fully understand it.

Collapse! Retreat! Sell! Get out!

Huo Yuhao jumped onto the hole he had dug and then ruthlessly threw out a level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball. It wasn't that Huo Yuhao didn't have a higher-level fixed-position soul-guided cannonball, but that he dared not use it.

Ever since that idiot Jing Hongchen came to Shrek Academy and handed over four level 8 and four level 9 soul-guided cannonballs, in order to maximize Huo Yuhao's safety, Elder Mu directly decided to give Huo Yuhao one level 8 and one level 9 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball.

However, this thing is so powerful that even if Huo Yuhao were to throw out a single level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, there is a risk that it could directly destroy this laboratory and the Mingde Hall above it.

Moreover, very few of the fixed-position soul-guided shells produced by Mingde Hall, especially those of this level, have been released. If the people of the Sun Moon Empire discover something amiss from the clues at the explosion site, it could cause Huo Yuhao and the rest of Shrek Academy a lot of trouble.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao only threw out a level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannonball. In any case, the research path of fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs of Shrek Academy and the other three major empires was similar, so no one could tell where this cannonball came from.

Since the people from the Body Sect are already here, let them take the blame. They're not afraid of being bitten by a lot of lice anyway.

While lost in thought, Huo Yuhao used every ounce of strength he had to dig forward with all his might. He had already stumbled upon two secret chambers in one go; surely he couldn't possibly encounter a third underground chamber?

Huo Yuhao dug underground for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, feeling the ground tremble behind him. He was certain that all traces he had left in that laboratory had disappeared.

Letting out a long sigh, Huo Yuhao slumped down in the tunnel he had dug, his heart pounding.

The traces he left in the first secret room were easy to deal with. The Right Hand of the Body Sect and Lin Jiayi were fighting fiercely, and the two of them were probably about to tear down the entire secret room. The little clues he left when he dug into the wall would not be noticed by anyone. Moreover, the soil behind him had been compacted again by the Earth Ant King Slash.

As for the second secret room where the giant soul-guided metal giant was kept, it was even less of a concern. With a single level-seven fixed-position soul-guided shell, all clues were destroyed.

Huo Yuhao took a few deep breaths. It had been almost twenty minutes since the Mingde Hall and the Body Sect had clashed. He figured the fighting above should be almost over by now, so he had to hurry back and play dead.

Without saying a word, Huo Yuhao began digging upwards to create a passage, but just as he was halfway through, his Ice Emperor Claw once again sent a different sensation through him.

No way.

Huo Yuhao swallowed hard and activated his mental detection again. In front of him was an unknown alloy wall that was more than two and a half meters thick.

Huo Yuhao had gasped a lot today, but he couldn't help it. This secret chamber was probably the most sturdy of the three underground chambers he had encountered today; even the Ice Emperor's Claw had been defeated.

A metal wall that's two and a half meters thick!

However, Huo Yuhao had a compelling reason to go in: his mental probe detected a treasure powerful enough to change the course of the battle.

Without saying a word, Huo Yuhao began to construct spatial runes. This time, he was not going to the undead demiplane, but to pass through the two-and-a-half-meter-thick secret chamber in front of him.

Huo Yuhao used his mental power to inscribe one mysterious rune after another, carefully controlling the spatial anchor point to confirm his position.

This time, Huo Yuhao didn't inscribe runes step by step like before. Previously, opening the Gate of the Dead was a fixed spell, and Huo Yuhao only needed to practice it continuously.

However, Huo Yuhao now has to correct his own teleportation location and landing point. If he accidentally inscribes the wrong parameters, the consequences will be unimaginable.

A flash of silver light appeared on Huo Yuhao's body, and the next moment he appeared inside the secret chamber. Although he had already used his mental detection to look through the secret chamber before, Huo Yuhao was still incredibly shocked when he saw everything with his naked eyes.

This is an armory, not very large, only a few hundred square meters, and you can see the whole thing at a glance.

But the many exquisitely crafted items displayed on these shelves gave him a feeling of unease.

Sixteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells, each a different color and with a different appearance, were neatly stacked in a corner of this armory.

Each shell was placed individually on a platform, exuding a menacing and terrifying aura.

However, these level-nine soul-guided shells are just the tip of the iceberg of this arsenal.

Next to these sixteen deadly weapons were hundreds of level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, arranged in groups of nine and stacked in specially made boxes, exuding the same chilling aura.

"With this level of reserves, without Shrek Academy, the three great empires would be utterly powerless to resist."

Huo Yuhao couldn't contain his shock and stared intently at everything in the armory in front of him.
