Chapter 1868: 1863 Rolling the Dice Personally

1863 Rolling the Dice Personally

Logically speaking, even the mighty Battle God should have burst into flames and lightning when he touched the three-layered high-voltage power grid.

However, the raging underground rift was like a deep black pool that swallowed everything silently.

The Black Horn Warriors guarded the edge of the rift with their eyes wide open, but they did not notice anything unusual either.

Three minutes later, a loud noise resembled galloping horses and roaring thunder echoed from the depths of the underground rift.

It was as though hellish gates cast in bronze and iron were embedded in the ground, and they were slowly being pushed open.

That was when the guards and monitors woke up and panicked.

When they hurried to check the three-layer high-voltage power grid covering the cracks in the ground, they found that every nanometal wire connected to the grid was intact.

They threw a light feather down, and there was a light sound before the feather instantly turned into green smoke.

The offensive rune monitoring system connected to the high-voltage power grid showed that all indicators were normal.

Even if a Tyrant Mammoth crashed down from hundreds of meters high in the sky like great destructive starfall, it would still be electrocuted into a cluster of burning charcoal!

Yet, that was pretty much how Battle God Lei Zongchao entered the ancient ruins.

The question was, what should they do?

“We have to go down and rescue him immediately!”

“Dragon City has just undergone major surgery to remove a malignant tumor from a critical organ, and it’s in an extremely dangerous period of pain. Only the legendary martial artist can calm the people, gather the people’s will, unify the consensus, and stabilize the situation.”

“Without Master Lei, Dragon City will fall into chaos!

“Time is of the essence when it comes to searching for Master Lei!

“The possibility of Master Lei encountering danger in the depths of the ruins or changing beyond recognition increases exponentially with every passing second!

“We can’t afford to stall. We can only act first and report later. We should least organize the first wave of search and rescue teams!”

Meng Chao, Lu Siya, Long Feijun, and Shen Yupeng had already reached a consensus.

However, Wu Haibo was ultimately the one with the highest authority at the Ancient Ruins Research Center.

The Black Horn team that was stationed at the entrance was fully armed with ancient high technology, and they would only obey his orders.

Meng Chao still hoped that he could get his old friend’s approval and support.

“I know how important the Battle God is to Dragon City.”

Wu Haibo hesitated and said, “But the danger in the depths of the ancient ruins…”

“Every superhuman standing before you has fought his or her way out of dangerous situations countless times! They’re prepared to return to danger anytime and go through trials of fire and water!”

Intense flames surged in Meng Chao’s eyes. “We’ve put our lives aside long ago for Dragon City’s future!”

“I absolutely believe that. In fact, every staff member of the research center has also faced threats that are more terrifying than death numerous times, and they have taken it calmly,” Wu Haibo said.

“I know that you’re not afraid of death, and I also agree that it’s worth the sacrifice of dozens or even more superhumans to find and rescue Battle God Lei Zongchao.

“But there’s one thing… that I don’t think you’ve considered, Meng Chao.

“As I said earlier, what’s even more terrifying than the Battle God dying deep in the ancient ruins is him crawling back to the surface.

“By the same logic, the Battle God isn’t the only one who might be corrupted, parasitized, and transformed by the ancient ruins.

“If your search and rescue team is completely wiped out in the ancient ruins, it won’t matter. We can always send a second, third… or tenth team to carry out a saturated search and rescue operation.

“But what if you don’t die? What if you hear the Ancient Ruins’ Summon like the Battle God and turn into extremely terrifying ancient demons? What if you rush to the surface when Dragon City’s at its most chaotic and weak state? What should we do then?”

Meng Chao remained silent for a moment.

“I don’t think Master Lei has been bewitched by the ancient ruins.”

Meng Chao said, “We all saw that the old man’s gaze was as sharp as lightning just before he leaped. Did he look like a lost, muddleheaded person to you?”

Wu Haibo had to admit that Lei Zongchao’s expression and behavior were indeed different from that of the “lost ones” he had seen in the past.

This was also the biggest reason why he had kept the situation a secret and not reported it for the time being.

“We’re quite sure that Master Lei wasn’t bewitched. He made his decision out of his own free will while he was clear-headed and rational,” Meng Chao said.

“He must believe that the answer to Dragon City’s current problem lies in the depths of the ancient ruins.

“Now that he’s approaching the end of his life, he’s determined to solve this question for Dragon City at all costs!”

Wu Haibo’s lips twitched.

“If Lei Zongchao really believes that, he wouldn’t have tossed a coin before leaping.”

The sharp Wu Haibo grasped the crux of the matter and let out a long sigh. “Are we going to leave Dragon City’s fate to a gamble with unknown probability?”

“We have no other choice,” Meng Chao answered.

“Even if you don’t do anything, you’re still betting that things in Dragon City will slowly calm down although it has lost the Battle God; you’re betting that the Battle God will die silently instead of being transformed into a demon king by the power that has been sleeping in the ancient ruins for billions of years. Otherwise, countless ancient demons will crawl up to the surface.

“Since this whole thing is a gamble, why don’t we take the initiative and roll the dice ourselves?”

Wu Haibo raised and lowered his brows.

It was an indication that the scales in his heart were slowly tipping in their favor.

Just then, Meng Chao, Lu Siya, Long Feijun, and Shen Yupeng’s communicators vibrated.

After reading the information, all four of them had an unpleasant expression at the same time.

“We have received intel that a convoy escorting prisoners recently carried three members of the Blood Alliance in secret, but they were captured within three hours. They have all climbed to the top positions in the nine mega corporations, hence they are key figures who know the secrets of the alliance and their own companies.”

Meng Chao explained to Wu Haibo, “This convoy’s original destination was a temporary prison that had been modified from a gladitorial monster arena that prevented ferocious Hell Beasts from escaping.

“However, they were attacked by a group of mysterious people with fierce firepower on the way.

“Even though the escorts put up a desperate fight and dealt with the mysterious attacker, the perpetrators still managed to escape.

“Meanwhile, the three core members of the Blood Alliance who were in possession of a lot of secrets were turned into charred corpses. They were torn apart by the fearless and suicidal attackers.”
