All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

The treasury of the Earl of Rong'an's mansion has more than one floor.

Or rather, more than one region.

Chu Hong glanced at the display cases and the mountain of supply boxes in front of him, and there was a dark golden door tightly closed in front of him.

Clearly, there's something far more precious inside...

"Tsk, they've learned their lesson. It's not the kind of tech-savvy combination lock they used before..." Chu Hong scoffed, not wasting any time on such matters.

Without hesitation, they immediately transformed into frantic movers.

Within the Special Operations Division.

Song Jiao'er, Wang Suming, Donald, Xu Daili, Luo Xin, Luo Yi.

Even the newly joined Wu Shuaishuai and Jiang Xingdong were all present.

Just as Chu Hong flashed into the Special Operations Division.

Immediately, as Chu Hong removed the [National Preceptor's Treasure Box] and [Dimensional Ring] from his body, someone offered him another [Dimensional Ring] and a large backpack.

Wu Shuaishuai's beard trembled with excitement as he stared wide-eyed at the bright red items being pulled from the backpack in front of him.

Jiang Xingdong, who was standing to the side, reacted quickly and slapped the kid on the back of the head with a loud crack.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and empty your bags. Don't let Chu waste any time; someone outside has probably already gone to arrest him..."

Jiang Xingdong, a former graduate of the Dragon Roar Academy, is the city lord of Huangshan Base City.

Faced with Chu Hong's "bandit-like" behavior, he showed no shame whatsoever; on the contrary, he was more excited and engaged than anyone else present.

It seemed that if he weren't worried about his identity being exposed, he would have joined the ranks of porters himself.

Luo Yi's face was also full of excitement.

Although he knew that Xia Weiping had died at the hands of Xuanyuan Shou, and felt somewhat regretful, now that the bastard was dead, looting the treasures of their Rong'an Earl's Mansion was a way of venting his anger.

suddenly.

When something is taken out of a sealed box by him.

His face froze instantly, and his eyes immediately reddened the moment he saw the object.

[Item Name]: Mutant "Plague" Core

[Item Level]: Red

Value: 8,018,000

[Type]: Energy Source Material

【Weight】: 0.85kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 2×2

[Item Description]: An irregularly shaped spherical biological tissue, about the size of a fist, covered with a layer of necrotic skin in alternating shades of gray-black and dark red. Countless tiny, bud-like protrusions grow and twine around it like vines, forming a three-dimensional structure resembling intertwined tree roots. At the core, a deep purple crystalline hard core is faintly visible, pulsating slowly at an eerie yet regular frequency.

It was a special fleshy ball sealed in a glass container and soaked in a special medicinal solution.

Two streams of tears uncontrollably slid down Luo Yi's face at that moment.

The sobbing sound made everyone who was still carrying things turn their heads to look over.

When Luo Xin saw Luo Yi holding a jar, his face filled with a mixture of surprise and pain, and he was crying uncontrollably, her eyes immediately reddened.

"elder brother--!"

Seeing the brother and sister embrace and weep bitterly.

Donald and Jiang Xingdong, the two old men, couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

These are the noble sons of the ditch.

Xia Pingwei died far too easily...

Just as I was thinking this, Chu Hong suddenly appeared again, teleporting in with bags and packages of spoils.

"Holy crap, if you're going to rob me, just rob me! Do you have to resort to this emotional stunt now?!"

"Luo Yi, you better clean up your horse piss! If, because of your actions, I accidentally leave a little gold for the Rong'an Earl's mansion today, you'll see how I torment your sister!"

Chu Hong threw down a sentence and, cursing, picked up the two large backpacks in front of him.

He turned around and instantly left the Special Operations Division.

Left behind were the crowd looking at each other in bewilderment, and... Luo Xin, her face flushed and tears still clinging to her eyelashes.

at the same time.

"Go in! Charge in! That guy's inside!"

The werewolf-like butler was now lying on the ground, his head severed from his body.

"He can't escape! Our Rong'an Earl's Mansion has a special cultivation-grade array in its secret vault that restricts energy sources. He absolutely cannot use any skills inside! Go in and catch him!"

Xia Pingjie's face showed both anger and ecstasy.

At first, when he saw the "benevolent father" effortlessly and in a way he couldn't understand, he simply reached out and touched the vault door, unlocking the door that required a key.

It was indeed very shocking and terrifying.

But then, the moment the other party stepped into the treasure vault...

He was greeted by a surge of intense ecstasy.

He neither lied nor exaggerated.

The treasure vault was indeed equipped with arrays, and they were top-tier arrays that would even disable the source energy of pioneers at the Nascent Soul Realm.

In order to maintain the operation of the magic array, the Rong'an Earl's Mansion has to spend a considerable amount of source energy every day to provide it with power.

He urged them on anxiously and excitedly.

Upon hearing this...

The pioneers, who had arrived at the seventh or eighth stage of the Core Condensation Realm, couldn't help but exchange glances.

If Chu Hong were to come out, he would surely discover that there were several familiar faces present today.

Dou Hongling hesitated for a moment, then drew her longsword and decisively spoke.

"You all stay here, Long Mou, you come inside with me..."

Carrying a large sword that resembled a door panel, when Chu Hong and his group first arrived at Xialong Base City, they nodded to Long Mou, a burly man who was leading a group of pioneers from Longming Holy Academy and other schools at the train station, as they engaged in battle with Tiangong.

Both of them are Core Formation Realm pioneers who possess considerable combat power even without using source energy.

The two men walked into the vault with wary expressions.

When they saw the ground so smooth it was almost reflective, and the empty boxes all around, a look of surprise flashed in their eyes.

Although it's unclear how much is in the treasury of the Earl of Rong'an's mansion, one can still make a rough guess.

How big of a backpack would you need to carry all this stuff...?

Just as the two were filled with doubt and uncertainty.

call out!

A whooshing sound followed, accompanied by something that looked like a metal can, flying in an arc towards them.

"Watch out!" Dou Hongling's eyes turned cold, and she suddenly pulled at her waist.

next second.

She flung out a red ribbon in an instant, aiming it above her head to block the view.

however.

Suddenly, a tremendous force, as if the red ribbon had been violently pulled by an invisible hand, snatched away the red ribbon that had been unfurled above their heads without either of them noticing.

Long Mou's pupils contracted.

Without any hesitation, he let out a low shout and immediately raised his greatsword to block in front of Dou Hongling.

"careful......"

"Bang!"

A bone-chilling cold, accompanied by a powerful sound of ice forming, left Long Mou with only a fleeting glimpse of the icy air before he lost consciousness the next second.

Dou Hongling was left behind, looking horrified, after he had just knocked her away.

They stared in horror at the dragon's body, which had turned into an ice sculpture.

His expression changed drastically.

"What's going on?!"

Dou Hongling's pretty face turned pale and then flushed.

She couldn't suppress the shock in her eyes. When she entered the vault, she had indeed felt that all her source energy was restricted and she couldn't mobilize it at all.

But the freezing tank they encountered inside, if it could still be explained by a special consumable item that is gold or red and does not require the injection of source energy...

That invisible force that abruptly tore away her red silk defenses.

How should we explain this?

Sensing that Long Mou's life force had not been extinguished, Dou Hongling breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, faced with this situation, she didn't know what to do for the time being.

Should we try going in again?

Dou Hongling gritted her teeth, and just as she was about to step inside and try again, an old voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Alright, leave this to me now."
