Chapter 107: The Laboratory and the Key Figures of the Mission
Ye Yuxuan was undoubtedly knocked to the ground by the shock wave generated by the explosion, but the power generated by this explosion was nothing more than that—due to the particularity of the energy source, this kind of explosion was not as lethal as the explosion with gravel splashes that people usually perceived.
On the contrary, because the density of the magic energy contained in the crystal is too dense, when this energy is released instantaneously (the crystal is broken), too much energy is acted on the same point, causing the ground and obstacles near the projection point of the explosion to be vaporized instantly, and in fact, there is no splash from the atomic explosion point, and Ye Yuxuan will naturally not be harmed by the fragments that a conventional explosion must have.
The shock wave formed by the rapid heating and expansion of the air by the high temperature and high pressure seemed to be affected by something, causing the rapid expansion of the hot air to suddenly become mild before it touched the surface of the leaf, and only pushed him forward, without really hurting him, not even leaving a trace of burns.
After Ye Yuxuan was pushed out of the danger area by the air current, the prestige that this shock wave should have completely erupted, and it spread sharply outward with a dazzling light cluster.
With a "plop", Ye Yuxuan looked very unsightly and landed on the hard jade floor first, behind him was the blasting light cluster that had just dissipated, and a small mushroom cloud that rose up with it......
"Ahem......" Ye Yuxuan coughed and got up from the ground, although the smoke and dust spread out against the ground were not too much, but it was enough to choke people dizzy.
"Hey, I said you, I fell so badly, let alone pull me, no matter what you say, you have to care about your captain a little, right?" Ye Yuxuan looked at the two guys in front of him who were snickering unscrupulously, speechless.
When Su Mu heard this, he smiled exaggeratedly and replied, "Aren't you still able to get up by yourself?" Besides, in the City of Dreams, a small injury isn't a problem at all. ”
"That being said, I still feel a little unhappy when I look at your faces......"
"What's the matter, what do we have to do with it, and what do we need to care about?" Su Mu spread out his hands, "A proper smile can also adjust and relieve the emotions that are overly nervous because of the battle." ”
"Well, and it's a good thing to make people laugh when you get out of trouble." Yui Uesugi crossed her hands on her hips and looked at the gray-faced Ye Yuxuan with a rare smile, with an unprecedented smile in her eyes.
Looking at such a yui, Ye Yuxuan was stunned for a moment, he never thought that this first-class girl with the name of "no one should be close" still had such a cute side. This was a far cry from his preconceived subjective impressions.
For a moment, Ye Yuxuan even had the idea of whether Yui had deliberately shortened the length of the lead as a prank, so as to wait to see if he was embarrassed, but after some deductions, he still decisively rejected this possibility, after all, Yui is not like the kind of girl who likes to joke.
When Ye Yuxuan regained his footing and looked at Yui again, she had already reverted to that serious poker face, as if everything before was his own delusion.
Su Mu on the side somehow also switched back to the serious mode almost synchronously, as if he had discussed that he would end the rest mode when Ye Zi stood up.
"Whew......" Ye Yuxuan patted the dust on his body, looked at the location of the original gate that had been blown out of a big pit, and said to his two "unreliable" team members: "Okay, let's go, let's go and see what kind of secret is hidden behind this door, I hope the explosion just now didn't destroy the things behind the door."
As the captain of the team, he didn't know if he should feel sorry for the fact that two guys in his three-person squad secretly laughed instead of reaching out when the captain was in trouble......
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Yui and Su Mu behind him - well, at least the strength of the two of them is still worthy of recognition. Ye Yuxuan thought so in his heart.
After passing through the charred glass-like crater created by the explosion, and the original door that had been melted out of a large hole by the tyrannical energy, a new space appeared before the trio's eyes—a laboratory that was not very spacious, but certainly not cramped.
The overall structure of the laboratory is a simple rectangle, with simple but simple white wall tiles, and white is the color that makes people concentrate, which perfectly matches the purpose of the laboratory in this room.
On top of the white wall tiles, the three of them could occasionally see pale golden rune structures wandering above the wall tiles, these things could not be simply used for decoration, they must have their own corresponding purposes.
On the smooth floor of the laboratory, there were all sorts of magical devices that made the trio look incomprehensible, some of which were still running on their own, processing some kind of alchemical product.
Before the three of them had taken a few steps into the lab floor, a long, narrow ribbon of light lit up at the edge of the nearby floor.
Just when the three of them nervously put on a posture of attack, thinking that they had triggered some deadly mechanism, this light belt swept harmlessly through the soles of the feet of the three people, carrying the dust brought in by the arrival of the three people into the air. Then, with a gentle breeze, all the filth had been cleaned up.
"No wonder it's so clean here, there is such a thing." Ye Yuxuan looked at the direction in which the light band disappeared, his eyes were full of surprise.
"Looks so convenient." Su Mu also gave the device an affirmation.
"Hmph, it's just some little tricks, this set of things is not something that any wizard can afford, after all, it's just the convenience of a few." Uesugi Yui was stuck at the waist, with a look of disdain.
"Hmm...... Is there anyone over there? A faint voice came from the depths of the lab, and the three of them followed the voice. Ye Zi turned on the visual enhancement, and finally barely saw the first and most important target of their trip: the missing middle-aged man after the layers of obstacles.
The man did not look very good, his hands and feet were chained to a large silver-white cross. He had multiple burn marks and some bruises on his arms and legs, as if he had been hit by a blunt object. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes could not be fully opened, and he looked very weak.
