Chapter 608 - 371: Ruins, Unlocking the Hidden Map
After the red light scanned over everyone.
Han Xing noticed that their relic energy points decreased by 1000 points.
"Successfully activated... Please enter the relic interior through the teleportation gate."
When the synthetic voice ended.
Han Xing saw it.
At the base of the inverted triangular mountain.
At the tip area, a door appeared as if it were an illusion, resembling a void.
Without hesitation.
Han Xing was the first to step into the black, wavelike door.
Just as he stepped in.
The vision before him suddenly became clear.
In front of Han Xing.
Appeared a massive laboratory.
In the center was a spacious open area.
Beside it were all kinds of instruments.
However, these instruments had been covered in dust for a long time.
They seemed to have lost their function.
The map indicated.
This was the 173rd floor of relic number 13.
Han Xing took a look around and said, "Let’s split up and explore, see if we can find anything."
Upon hearing this.
Everyone began searching around the spacious laboratory.
Han Xing noticed.
In the corners of the laboratory were transparent containers.
But, these containers had been broken.
The things inside seemed to have escaped.
Han Xing just sensed something amiss.
In the darkness.
A black shadow suddenly lunged at Han Xing.
Han Xing didn’t even have time to see clearly what the thing looked like.
He only vaguely saw that it had a cockroach-like head, with two long antennae on top.
In the next moment.
Han Xing shot an arrow directly.
"Boom!"
A violent explosion sounded.
The monster’s body exploded instantly.
Green and white liquid splattered everywhere.
As the monster’s body exploded, Han Xing backed away.
So, the liquid didn’t splash onto Han Xing.
At the same time.
Shen Yun and the others heard the explosion and rushed over immediately.
They asked with a worried tone.
"Brother Xing! What happened?"
"Did you encounter any danger? Do you need support?"
Han Xing said, "I’m fine, there are some unusual monsters in this laboratory, be careful."
After hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Though they knew, with Han Xing’s strength, it was unlikely he’d encounter danger.
However, Han Xing’s last sentence.
’Unusual monsters’ made everyone vigilant.
At the same time.
Han Xing glanced at the system prompt.
[Successfully killed mutated creature: Five-star Elite Level, gained experience value of 43.87 million...]
"Mutated creature... What is this?"
Han Xing pondered slightly.
At this moment.
Not far away, explosions were also heard one after another.
Shen Yun and Cheng Jianyong also encountered such monsters.
Fortunately though, the strength was about the same.
Only Five-star Elite to Leader Level strength.
They could all easily take them out.
After clearing all the monsters on this level.
Everyone regrouped.
They shook their heads.
Apart from those monsters.
They didn’t find anything else.
At this moment.
Shen Yun suddenly noticed something, pointing to a corner and said, "Brother Xing, see if there’s a new passage over there?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked over immediately.
Indeed, they found a new passage on the previously flat ground.
It seemed to lead to the next floor of the laboratory.
At this moment, Han Xing seemed to understand something.
"I see, we entered from the lowest teleportation gate and got directly transported to the top floor of this inverted triangular laboratory."
"Now, we need to explore step by step downward."
Upon hearing this, everyone also felt Han Xing’s speculation made sense.
After finishing,
Han Xing was the first to step into the passage.
Following the stairs.
They quickly reached the second-lowest floor of the laboratory.
The map position also changed to [13th relic, 172nd floor...]
Here, everyone continued rummaging around.
Relentlessly searching every corner.
After dealing with the ugly mutated monsters down below.
Cheng Jianyong held a few bottles of potions and walked over.
"Brother Xing, take a look at this."
Han Xing took the milky white potion from Cheng Jianyong’s hand.
His expression was somewhat puzzled.
And when he saw the potion’s attributes, his pupils shrank instantly.
[Genetic Enhancement Potion (Experimental Version)]: After consumption, has a 50% probability of increasing 1000 points in four-dimensional attributes, a 30% probability of mutation, a 10% probability of exploding.
[Remaining usage times]: 10 times.
Note: The experiment has reached its final stage, we need more samples, the hope of saving the world lies in our hands - Dr. Clayton.
...
After looking at the attributes of this stuff, then glancing at the monster bodies.
Everyone’s expression was a bit strange.
Could it be that they turned into these monsters after consuming this potion?
Thinking about it, it should be true.
After all, even though there’s only a 30% chance of mutation.
But keep in mind, they definitely wouldn’t consume it just once.
Even if they were lucky the first time, not mutating or exploding.
What about the second time, the third time.
So.
This potion is a big trap.
If you’re confident in your luck, taking it once or twice might be okay.
Any more than that, it’s courting death.
Han Xing disinterestedly put these potions into his bag.
To see if there’s a chance to use them in the future.
At the same time.
After exploring this layer thoroughly.
A passage appeared once more.
They exchanged glances.
Then headed straight to the next layer.
After passing through dozens of layers in succession.
Han Xing realized they seemed to have reached the middle of this inverted triangular structure.
The five of them gathered together.
Consolidated the harvest in their hands.
Apart from dozens of incomplete genetic potions, there were some damaged weapons and experimental data.
