Lord Of The People: I Recruited A Mutant Succubus From The Start

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Strange Situation!

When Elise heard Ren Qi’s words, she was stunned for a moment. Then, she shook her head and said, “No, we didn’t encounter the situation that master mentioned just now.”

“That’s right. We didn’t encounter the situation that Master mentioned either. After entering the vortex, our vision turned black, and we quickly arrived here,”said Risa and the others.

Hearing the words of Elise, Risa, and the others, Ren Qi frowned slightly.

If that was the case, was he the only one who had suffered that malicious soul attack?

Could it be that this attack was aimed at the Lord?

At this moment, Ren Qi’s communication device suddenly vibrated. Ren Qi opened it and saw that it was a message from Zhao Yuheng.

Zhao Yuheng asked, “Ren Qi, how’s the situation on your side? Is there any danger?”

Ren Qi replied, “The situation here is a little special. After entering the vortex, you will appear in a stone room.”

“However, you have to take note that after entering the vortex, the soldiers should be fine. However, the Lords will encounter a soul attack.”

“I can’t describe this soul attack. It’s like the erosion of all evil thoughts in the world. My soul defense is relatively strong, so I wasn’t affected. However, I’m not sure what will happen if you come down.”

Ren Qi transmitted the situation to Zhao Yuheng and the others. They would have their own judgments.

...

At this moment, Zhao Yuheng and the others frowned slightly as they looked at the vortex that was still spinning in front of them. However, its speed had clearly slowed down.

“From the current situation, this vortex is clearly a passageway that leads to the location of the hidden treasure.”

“There is a high possibility that the hidden treasure is hidden within the stone room.”

Xuan Ming analyzed the situation before him and slowly opened his mouth to speak.

Tian Jizi nodded and said, “That’s right. From the current situation, this is indeed the case. This vortex should be the passageway that leads to the hidden treasure.”

“However, Ren Qi also said earlier that we will encounter danger if we enter.”

“The troops will be fine. It’s the first time we have encountered such a situation where a lord will be attacked.”

Luo Ming said, “No matter what, we should support Ren Qi. After all, he only brought his own troops. If he encounters any great danger, he might be in trouble.”

Zhao Yuheng looked at the vortex that was continuously rotating and shrinking in front of her. She mused for a moment before opening her mouth and said, “Since this is the current situation, I think that we can let our troops go down and support him. As for us, we will wait up there.”

After all, since Ren Qi had already said that he had suffered a soul attack, it was likely that it would be the same for them if they went down.

Compared to Ren Qi, they did not have any powerful soul defense methods. If they went down rashly, they would probably be in trouble.

Hearing Zhao Yuheng’s words, Luo Ming nodded without hesitation.

This was indeed a very good suggestion. It could ensure their safety and increase Ren Qi’s strength.

Tian Jizi and Xuan Ming hesitated for a moment, but they still nodded.

After all, they were going to hand over control of their own troops to someone else. Tian Jizi and Xuan Ming still hesitated for a moment.

However, they still trusted Ren Qi very much.

When Zhao Yuheng saw that they had agreed, she told Ren Qi her thoughts.

Ren Qi looked at the private message that Zhao Yuheng sent over and frowned slightly.

Following which, Ren Qi replied, “There’s no need to line up your troops. Just send out a portion of high-level troops. The number shouldn’t have much of an effect.”

Although Zhao Yuheng and the others wanted to send down their troops to support him, Ren Qi couldn’t just take Zhao Yuheng and the others’troops away.

Moreover, the stone room wasn’t very big and couldn’t accommodate too many troops.

All they needed to do was send down some high-grade soldiers. As for the other soldiers, the number did not really matter.

Zhao Yuheng nodded her head in deep agreement when she saw Ren Qi’s words. After which, she passed Ren Qi’s words to the few of them.

Xuan Ming and the others did not hesitate and directly separated the high-grade soldiers. After which, they allowed these soldiers to quickly head toward the vortex.

The vortex was becoming smaller and smaller. If they were a little late, they would not be able to enter.

Zhao Yuheng sent some half-step Saint-rank Undying Blood Phoenixes and three Saint-rank Undying Blood Phoenixes. Luo Ming sent all the soldiers above the half-step Saint rank.

Xuan Ming also sent some half-step Saint rank soldiers. He also sent one Saint rank mechanical soldier.

Tian Jizi did not hesitate. He had sent out nearly a hundred half-step saint rank mages.

He did not have many mages. This was already a very powerful force.

Moreover, Tian Jizi had sent out many mages with powerful soul attacks. The attacks here had a lot to do with soul power. They might come in handy.

All the troops quickly entered the vortex in front of them and quickly disappeared.

As these troops disappeared into the vortex, the vortex in front of them became smaller and smaller and soon disappeared.

The swamp in front of them seemed to have returned to its calm state, leaving behind only a black muddy ground.

“Xuan Ming, send a few mechanical troops down to investigate.” Zhao Yuheng looked at Xuan Ming beside her and said.

Xuan Ming was stunned for a moment. Soon after, he understood what Zhao Yuheng meant. Without hesitation, he directly sent a few mechanical soldiers to investigate.

A while later, these mechanical soldiers returned and told Xuan Ming everything that they had discovered.

Xuan Ming looked at Zhao Yuheng and said, “Boss Zhao, we did not discover anything unusual under the mud. It is just that the mud is very deep. However, we did not discover any stone chambers when we reached the bottom.”

“Moreover, we did not discover any of those black trees just now. Those black trees from earlier should not have drilled out from the mud of this swamp.”

The eyes of the few people around began to flicker slightly when they heard Xuan Ming’s words.

If those black trees did not dig out from the mud below, there was only one possibility.

Those black trees and the stone chamber in the vortex should have been manifested through spatial means.

In other words, the stone chamber wasn’t under the mud. It was very likely in another place.

“It seems that we can’t contact Ren Qi through the communication device,” Luo Ming said at this moment.

Zhao Yuheng raised her eyebrows and said, “It seems that after the vortex disappeared, the passage connecting to the stone chamber was closed, so we can’t contact Ren Qi.”

“Then what should we do now?” Luo Ming asked anxiously.

After all, Ren Qi’s life and death were unknown. There was still danger.

Zhao Yuheng looked at Luo Ming and the others and said, “There’s no other way. We can only wait for Ren Qi to come out.”

They had already done what they could. Now, they could only wait.

Luo Ming nodded. That was the only thing they could do now.

In the stone chamber, Ren Qi had already seen Luo Ming and the others’ troops.

Looking at the troops around him, Ren Qi’s eyes flickered.

This place was obviously very strange. However, with so many troops gathered, Ren Qi was still very confident in finding the secret treasure.

Ren Qi asked Elise to mobilize the troops first and arrange them according to the characteristics of the troops, so as to maximize their combat strength.

Meanwhile, Ren Qi led Risa and the others to explore this stone chamber.

After all, they had come here because they were inside this stone chamber. It was better to explore the surroundings first.

This stone chamber was very large. There was no problem at all for it to accommodate so many troops.

On the outside of the stone chamber, there was a huge passageway. The front was pitch-black, and no one knew where it extended to.

There was light in this stone room.

The light in the stone room came from the wall at the back, and the light was very gentle.

When Ren Qi arrived in front of the wall, he saw several night-luminescent pearls embedded in the wall in front of him.

These night-luminescent pearls were very big, but the light emitted from them was green-gray in color, making them seem a little strange.

The light circulated within these night-luminescent pearls and then leaked out, illuminating the surrounding stone chambers.

This made these night-luminescent pearls look like eyeballs, constantly observing everything around them.

Around these night-luminescent pearls, there were some patterns carved on the walls. These patterns were somewhat distorted, and it was difficult to see what they looked like.

Ren Qi frowned and asked Elise to come over.

Ren Qi held the Dragon Pool Sword in his hand and directly stabbed at the night-luminescent pearls in front of him.

With a crisp sound, one of the night-luminescent pearls on the wall instantly shattered, turning into several pieces that fell to the ground.

The Dragon Pool Sword in Ren Qi’s hand also stabbed into the wall in front of him.

Seeing that only the tip of the sword was inserted, Ren Qi raised his eyebrows. The wall seemed to be very hard.

Following that, Ren Qi’s gaze fell on the fragments of the luminescent pearl that had fallen to the ground.

After the pearl was broken, the light circulating within it disappeared. The broken fragments were like worn-out stones, and there was nothing strange about them.

Ren Qi carefully observed it and threw away the stone in his hand.

Then, Ren Qi carefully observed the wall in front of him and found that it was only a little harder than ordinary walls. There seemed to be nothing special about it.

“There shouldn’t be anything special here. Continue to hold the troops,” Ren Qi said softly as he handed the Dragon Pool Sword in his hand to Elise.

Elise nodded when she heard this. Then, she continued to organise her troops.

Soon, the adjustment of the troops was completed. Luo Ming’s troops were inserted into Ren Qi’s Succubus Legion.

After organising all the troops, Ren Qi let Elise hold the Dragon Pool Sword at the front of the group. Then, they began to move forward.

Although Zhao Yuheng had given the command of their troops to him, Ren Qi could not possibly use Zhao Yuheng’s troops as cannon fodder.

After leaving the stone room and entering the passage in front, everything around them sank into darkness, as if there was only endless darkness left.

At this moment, in the stone room that Ren Qi had just left.

The night-luminescent pearl stone that was shattered by Ren Qi’s Dragon Pool Sword suddenly shook.

Subsequently, the shattered pearl pieces on the ground suddenly shook and quickly combined together.

The entire pearl instantly returned to its original state, as if it was completely unaffected.

Subsequently, the night-luminescent pearl’s body slowly floated up and quickly returned to its original position on the wall.

Bang!

The luminous pearl suddenly retreated and directly crashed into the pit that it had previously been inlaid in and was once again inlaid into it.

The entire luminous pearl once again appeared with that kind of greenish-gray light. It continuously circulated within it, as if its gaze was continuously scanning the surroundings.

However, the luminous pearl’s light circulation was unable to pass through the entire stone room and land in the passageway that Ren Qi and the others had left.

It was as if the darkness in the passage blocked the green-gray light emitted by the luminous pearl.

In the passage, Ren Qi led a large group of people and slowly walked forward.

Facing the surrounding darkness, Ren Qi had a few undying blood phoenixes spread out in the surroundings. They constantly spat flames to illuminate the surroundings.

Through the illumination of the flames spat out by the undying blood phoenixes, Ren Qi could clearly see the surrounding walls and the passage in front of him.

The end of the passage was still pitch-black, and he couldn’t see any light.

Ren Qi didn’t let the team advance quickly. Instead, he slowly moved forward.

As he went deeper into the passage, Ren Qi observed the surrounding walls.

Ren Qi discovered that there were still some special patterns on the surrounding walls.

These patterns were distorted, and he couldn’t see what they were. However, the patterns on the walls here were a little more than the patterns on the walls just now.

It was a kind of evil aura!

This kind of aura made Ren Qi feel disgusted, and even nauseous.

Ren Qi frowned. Looking at the patterns on the walls around him, he actually felt a little dizzy.

It was the feeling of wanting to retch!

Ren Qi frowned. Then, he looked at Risa beside him and asked, “Risa, look at the patterns on the walls around you. Do you have a special feeling?”

When she heard him, her gaze fell on the surrounding walls. She looked at the patterns on the walls and began to examine them carefully.

However, after a long while, she looked at Ren Qi and shook her head. “Master, there’s nothing special about these patterns. They’re just ordinary patterns. There doesn’t seem to be anything special about them.”

Hearing Risa’s words, Ren Qi raised his eyebrows. His feeling just now could not be wrong.

If that was the case, then the disgusting feeling of the patterns would not have any effect on the soldiers.

Just like the attack on the soul that appeared when he entered the vortex, he was the only one to suffer.

If that was the case, the effect of the patterns would only be on him or the other lords.

The army was not affected at all.

What exactly was this strange thing? Why did it only target the Lord?
