Chapter 458 Leave them a gift
After glancing over the information about Zhao Xiangli's outposts, Ye Nanxiao secretly installed a dozen or so soul-guided bombs in a corner.
He then slightly rearranged the various miscellaneous items. The soul-guided bomb in his hand was a mechanically triggered device that did not require soul power to activate; it only needed external force to be activated.
Ye Nanxiao set one of the trigger points of the mechanism on Hu Quan's corpse, who was lying face down on the table. He then conjured several ice spikes and pierced them into Hu Quan's body to support him.
Taking Ye Guyi's hand, who remained silent, the two walked towards the exit once more.
Along the way, Ye Nanxiao constantly set up traps. Since he couldn't use soul-guided cannons with large soul power fluctuations, he used more soul-guided bombs and placed them on the structural support points in the passage.
Thankfully, Qian Duoduo had generously sponsored Ye Nanxiao's savings a few times before, otherwise Ye Nanxiao would have been heartbroken just from the number of grenades he had deployed.
"Zhao Xiangli, is it? Why don't you retire as a high-ranking official and instead become a traitor, building such a huge base and making me waste so much of my grenade inventory? Don't let me find your cash reserves! I'll empty them all in no time!"
Ye Nanxiao cursed through gritted teeth as he set up the grenade trap.
His arsenal had finally grown somewhat again, and now it was going to be used up again.
Ye Guyi, who was silently following behind Ye Nanxiao, regained a glimmer of life in her lifeless eyes when she heard Ye Nanxiao's cursing.
Seeing Ye Nanxiao's furious expression, wrench in his mouth, Ye Guyi felt a warmth in her heart.
"You big idiot, you infiltrated the enemy base thinking you could empty the vault? Are you that short of money?" Ye Guyi took out a handkerchief and placed it in Ye Nanxiao's hand.
Ye Nanxiao tilted his head to look at Ye Guyi, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and then naturally put Ye Guyi's handkerchief into his pocket.
"This damn base is so big, how many grenades would it take? If I were a little stronger, I'd just go there with an RPG to check the water meter!" Ye Nanxiao tightened the parts of the mechanism and smiled helplessly.
All I can do now is set up some traps and cause some landslides to annoy Zhao Xiangli.
One day, he will bring an RPG to Zhao Xiangli's door to test his code!
Putting away the wrench, Ye Nanxiao took out two pieces of light stone and a piece of sunken silver. He covered his left hand with frost, and tiny ice blades condensed at his fingertips, dancing and fluttering on the sunken silver.
Ye Nanxiao quickly carved various metal parts from the two fist-sized pieces of silver and assembled them around the two light stones.
A fairly ordinary-looking box was quickly made, with a finger-width slit on each side, from which the faint light of the light stone shone.
Ye Nanxiao took out a few more pieces of blue crystal mirage shells, placed them near the box, and covered up any signs on the surface.
The Azure Crystal Mirage Shell is a unique species of the sea and a type of soul beast capable of creating illusions. What distinguishes it from other illusion soul beasts is that the Azure Crystal Mirage Shell's shell, which protects it, can distort light to create illusions.
No wonder it's a treasure in Qian Duoduo's little piggy bank.
Ye Nanxiao chose a fork in the path and created chaos.
Ye Nanxiao took out a triangular iron frame, then pulled out a soul-guided bomb shaped like a drill bit. He condensed ordinary ice crystals in his hand, wrapped the drill bit, inserted a fuse, and aligned it with the direction of the furnace according to the pieced-together map and his memory.
Then, following the same method, they took out several drill bits.
"The big guy I smuggled out back then is finally coming in handy today. Old Luo, don't let your new toy cause any experimental failures! My life is in your hands!" Ye Nanxiao wiped away non-existent dust from the drill bomb.
He originally thought that the experimental samples he had taken from Luo Rui back in Xingluo would just sit in the corner of the ring until the New Year, but he never expected them to come in handy today.
"Where did the instruction manual that Old Man Luo gave me go? I need to take a look to make sure the settings are correct." Ye Nanxiao took out a tattered little piece of paper, which was the instruction manual that Luo Rui had written on the spot.
"Safe, set up correctly. If this doesn't collapse half of your base, then... well, Old Luo wasn't very helpful!" Ye Nanxiao put away the note with satisfaction and disguised the trap.
Next, all that's left is for those evil soul masters to be frightened by the illusion created by the Azure Crystal Mirage, and then activate the soul power device to start the drill.
Once the drill is activated, it will trigger a series of mechanisms, ultimately detonating all the hidden bombs.
After finishing, Ye Nanxiao put away the wrench and prepared to leave.
"Zhao Xiangli, what is the reason that he chose to establish a private base here, and why did he have such an inflated mentality to choose a place not far from the Demon Forest, right under Ye Xishui's nose?"
Ye Nanxiao couldn't help but ponder the reasons why Zhao Xiangli established reactionary forces.
"Is it possible that it's the blind spot under the lamp?" Ye Guyi said.
"The darkest place is under the lamp? That's possible." Ye Nanxiao paused for a moment, then shook his head.
"However, the current level nine flying soul tools are incredibly fast. Among the evil soul master members of the Holy Spirit Cult's elder level alone, there are members with the cultivation level of Super Douluo. With the flying speed of a Super Douluo, the distance between here and the Demon Forest is terrifyingly easy to traverse."
Zhao Xiangli, a character who never showed his true potential in the original work, was suspected by Ye Nanxiao to have been established with Ye Xishui's consent. He speculated that Zhao Xiangli, in his cleverness, built another base beneath this underground one, believing in the principle of "the darkest place is under the lamp."
All his actions were likely insignificant in Ye Xishui's eyes.
Like children playing around.
Although Ye Xishui is not mentally stable, she has managed the Holy Spirit Sect for a long time. She not only has an absolute fighting force like Long Xiaoyao by her side, but the sect leader Zhong Liwu is also her son.
In other words, as long as Ye Xishui doesn't go crazy, the Holy Spirit Cult will remain very powerful.
After considering several possibilities, a huge and heavy soul-guided gate blocked their path.
Standing before the Soul Guidance Gate were two tall, strong men with pale, paper-white faces.
Ye Nanxiao hid in a corner, holding a small ice mirror in his hand.
"Two people, one on the left and one on the right." Ye Nanxiao glanced at them and immediately put away the ice mirror.
"One for each person?" Ye Guyi asked coldly.
"Wait a minute, something's not right with these two." Ye Nanxiao pressed down on Ye Guyi's restless little hand; the two people standing in front of the door were acting very strangely.
His face was deathly pale, like that of a dead person.
Furthermore, Ye Nanxiao continuously felt a steady stream of soul power fluctuations coming from behind the door.
A blue light flashed in Ye Nanxiao's eyes as he poked his head out to look at the two evil soul masters in front of the Soul Guidance Gate.
The two evil spirit masters were not only deathly pale, but their eyes were also completely white and cloudy, just like real dead people.
"Heh, these are two puppets, and the real person is still hiding behind the door," Ye Nanxiao sneered.
The two men standing in front of the Soul Guidance Gate were actually two corpses, manipulated by evil soul masters who had turned them into puppets.
Use puppets to block the door while hiding yourself behind a sturdy soul-guided gate to prevent being breached from the front.
"What should we do?" Ye Guyi asked, having guessed the intention of the evil spirit master hiding behind the door.
If his puppet were attacked, the evil spirit master hiding behind the door would probably not hesitate to sound the alarm immediately.
"It's a bit difficult, but not impossible. Let me do it." Ye Nanxiao took out a bunch of bottles and jars and a thin, cicada-wing-like disguise sheet from his ring.
Ye Nanxiao began to recall the three people he had met before, his hands moving swiftly.
Ye Guyi's eyes widened slightly as she watched Ye Nanxiao rapidly prepare a disguise mask.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Ye Nanxiao put on a disguise mask.
The face that the disguise mask imitated was that of the evil spirit master who kept complaining and followed behind Li Ying back then.
Ye Nanxiao slid two fingers down his face, pressing the slightly warm disguise mask tightly against his face.
"Stay behind me, hold onto the shielding soul tool, and don't stray more than five steps from my side." Ye Nanxiao handed the "fox den" above his head to Ye Guyi and instructed her to stay close to him.
Ye Guyi nodded, keeping his left hand loosely clenched so that he could summon the Holy Sword at any time.
Ye Nanxiao took a deep breath, recalled the tone and posture of the evil soul master who was following Li Ying, put away the ice mirror, and walked out in a dignified manner.
A figure appeared in the passage, instantly attracting the attention of the two puppets guarding the Soul Guidance Gate, who then raised their hands.
When they could see the faces of the newcomers clearly, the two puppets shook their heads slightly and pulled their outstretched hands back a little, but did not put them down completely.
Ye Nanxiao stopped in front of the Soul Guidance Gate, frowning as he looked at the two puppets before him. He said, "Open the door! Open the door now!"
"Stop dawdling! Hurry up! Otherwise, Protector Li Ying will yell at us again when we get back!"
"Stop making noise, Flying Fish! Did Li Ying send you?"
A hoarse voice came from the abdomen of the puppet on the left, as it raised its left hand and opened its palm toward Ye Nanxiao.
Ye Nanxiao looked closely and saw a large, fat caterpillar wriggling in the palm of the puppet's left hand, covered in congealed blood.
Wang Defa?!
Even though Ye Nanxiao had experienced many storms, he was almost startled by the caterpillar in front of him.
Ye Dahuli is fearless in his life, except for some small insects, such as Xiaoqiang, the intruder in his home, arthropods, and hairy caterpillars.
On Earth, the cockroaches of the South can scare a 1.8-meter-tall man into screaming.
Although Ye Nanxiao managed to control the fear reaction stemming from the depths of his memory very well, the subtle expressions on his face were still seen by the evil spirit master hiding behind the door using insects.
"Flying Fish, are you afraid of my bugs?"
The hoarse voice held a hint of surprise. Shouldn't Ye Nanxiao, in his current disguise, be afraid of insects?
Ye Nanxiao was startled; he had actually revealed a flaw!
Ye Guyi, who had been following Ye Nanxiao, was also startled. She narrowed her eyes slightly and bent her body slightly, assuming a posture that suggested she could pounce at any moment.
"Your bugs ruined my appetite today! Can you please wash those damn bugs off?!"
Since they were already surprised by their arrest, they decided to cover it up with shame and anger.
"Oh? Is that so?" The hoarse voice carried a strong sense of mockery.
One insect after another crawled out of the two puppets.
Tiny insects crawled out from the hair, ears, nose, mouth, and even the eyes of the puppet.
The two puppets instantly transformed into a nest of insects, their bodies covered in a dense swarm of insects enough to terrify anyone with trypophobia, as well as a certain leaf fox from the big city.
"Holy crap!"
Ye Nanxiao suddenly felt as if all the progress he had made since he started training had been lost. Now all he wanted to do was draw the Emperor Sword and kill the bastard who was hiding behind the door and controlling the insects!
It seems our weakness has been discovered; let's just charge in!
The exit is just 200 meters behind this warehouse. I should be able to leave the base before the Title Douluo finds out, right?
The armory also contains a number of soul-guided shells, and Li Yuanren has also produced several pure gold warheads, enough to flatten a mountain.
"I told you you were afraid of my bugs! Last time in front of Li Ying, you pretended to be calm because you were afraid of losing face! Now you've been exposed! Hehehe!"
Both puppets lowered their hands and their heads drooped.
A duck-like laugh rang out, accompanied by the sound of the Soul Guidance Gate opening. A middle-aged man dressed as a beggar looked at Ye Nanxiao with a strong sense of mockery on his face.
