Chapter 158: Sneaking Into the Top Floor and Discovering the Secret
“You, you…”
Chris looked at Vincent. He was so conflicted that he could not speak.
During the time he was locked up in the Flying Snow Castle, he had to face cruel interrogations every day. Chris was no longer the impulsive and belligerent youth from before. He had become more vigilant. He also knew that there were many things that could not be explained there.
Vincent was gratified by Chris’s change. At the same time, he also felt heartache. He said softly, “I heard that you still have human companions. Where are they? Can you tell me?”
Chris appeared very calm at that moment. He looked into Vincent’s eyes and said, “Stop dreaming. It’s impossible for you to find and beat them. Don’t dream of finding their whereabouts from me!”
Vincent understood the hidden meaning behind Chris’s words. His other teammates were safe and would not be discovered by the beasts.
“If that’s the case, then we have nothing more to say. I’m going to start training. I believe you can feel it too. Although it’s cold here, it can increase the efficiency of training!” said Vincent meaningfully. He then closed his eyes and started training.
Chris seemed to have understood Vincent’s hint and also closed his eyes to start training.
Although the strength of the Beast Race was so strong that it made people feel despair, only by constantly improving oneself could there be a glimmer of hope to turn the tables.
At the moment, he had to spare no effort to make himself stronger. Even if he could only become stronger by just a little bit, it would greatly increase his chances of turning the tables.
After a long while, Vincent slowly opened his eyes. He saw that Chris was still sitting quietly. He quietly checked his gains and found out that his psionic power had reached 6,000!
“If I continue to train for another four days, won’t I be able to directly become an overlord-class superpowered user?”
Vincent sighed emotionally.
However, Vincent could not wait for another four days. It was not easy for him to find the whereabouts of his teammates. This made him feel extremely worried about Angelina’s safety. He could not wait to find them.
When he saw Chris still in the middle of training, Vincent silently retreated from the second underground level. At the same time, he began to plan in his heart.
Currently, the best plan of action was to think of a way to get Chris out of there. Then, the two of them would meet up with the others. This was because only Chris knew where the others were hiding, and he could not tell him.
However, if he did, the difficulty would increase exponentially.
Not to mention how powerful Principal Jace was, even the members of the snow wolf tribe and snow fox tribe guarding the outer perimeter were enough to get rid of both Vincent and Chris!
The safer plan was for Vincent to find the whereabouts of his teammates alone and then come back together to rescue Chris. However, the prerequisite was to confirm the whereabouts of his teammates.
Vincent walked along the halls of the Flying Snow Castle. He made up his mind and decided to act alone. He would first investigate what information the beasts in the Flying Snow Castle had, and see if he could deduce the whereabouts of his teammates.
Just as Vincent was about to walk upstairs, he suddenly felt a gaze watching him closely from behind. This made Vincent have no choice but to stop.
“Who is it?” asked Vincent.
Vincent turned his head warily and saw a young man from the snow wolf tribe walking through the hall.
“Hello, I’m just passing by!”
The young man from the snow wolf tribe calmly greeted Vincent, but his eyes were full of space.
Vincent smiled slightly and asked, “Hello, I’ve just arrived and am still not familiar with this place. I want to look for Principal Jace, do you know where he is?”
A flash of understanding appeared in the eyes of the young man from the snow wolf tribe. He smiled and said, “I see. Usually, at this time, Principal Jace will sit quietly in the meditation room on the second floor. You can go there and look for him but remember not to go to the top floor!”
“Okay, I got it!” said Vincent as he walked to the second floor.
The young man from the snow wolf tribe stood there until he saw Vincent walk up to the second floor with his own eyes. Only then did he leave with peace of mind.
Vincent walked up to the second floor. He did not immediately look for Principal Jace. Instead, he took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and used his transformation skill to change to the appearance of a snow wolf tribesman.
Thanks to the exchange earlier, Vincent was able to observe the characteristics of the snow wolf tribe in detail. This made it convenient for him to change his identity at that moment. He guaranteed that no one would be able to detect him easily.
After becoming a snow wolf, Vincent immediately turned around and walked upstairs.
Since everyone had warned him not to go up to the top floor, he had to go to the top floor to take a look!
When Vincent reached the top floor, the first thing he saw was the pacing Mosshull. His heart instantly became nervous.
He was confident that his transformation skill could fool everyone. However, as he was facing the chief of the snow wolf tribe that was able to stand side by side with Principal Jace, he was worried that he would be recognized.
“Didn’t you say that you don’t need to keep an eye on that kid from the second underground level anymore? Do you have anything to report?” asked Mosshull impatiently.
Mosshull was currently troubled. After glancing at the person from the corner of his eye, he did not pay too much attention to him.
Vincent let out a slight sigh of relief and lowered his head to say, “The interrogation in the second underground level has ended. That human said a lot, but it was all useless!”
Mosshull did not have much hope for Vincent. He casually waved his hand and said, “There’s no need to report such news in the future. My priority now is to wait here for Lord Gajero’s return!”
Vincent’s eyes flashed crazily when he heard that. This was really important news. It turned out that Gajero was not in Beast World at the moment. Then, the success rate of Qiu Misri’s plan would greatly increase!
“Although I don’t know where Lord Gajero went, I believe that even if Lord Gajero is not here, with Lord Mosshull around, it is enough to protect the peace of the Beast Race!” said Vincent with his head lowered.
As the saying goes, no matter how much you wear, you will never be able to bootlick!
Mosshull naturally enjoyed hearing the compliments of his subordinates. He raised his head proudly and said, “Of course. Not to mention my contribution in monitoring the various races, the energy device of this teleportation array is the only one in the entire Beast World. I will be guarding it for Lord Gajero!”
Vincent continued to flatter him, “Then you are really the number one right-hand man under Lord Gajero! It’s just that I don’t understand why Lord Gajero did not descend to Beast World when there was no such teleportation array.”
Mosshull coughed dryly twice. He then said, “What do you know? Lord Gajero was very busy when he was battling in the myriad worlds. If there wasn’t a teleportation array for such a large destination, he could only return through the black holes connecting the various worlds. This would require an enormous amount of time! As Lord Gajero is currently in control of so many worlds, how could he possibly spend all his time in Beast World?”
Vincent understood. It seemed that as long as he destroyed the teleportation array, Gajero would not be able to return to Beast World for the time being!
However, with Mosshull present, Vincent did not have the chance to destroy the teleportation array. He could not destroy the teleportation array for the time being.
As long as the teleportation array was there, there was still a chance for Gajero to return. Mosshull would not let Chris be in danger. After all, he wanted to give Gajero a living human!
“Sir, it has been hard on you. I will not disturb you any further. If there is nothing else, I will leave!”
Vincent bowed respectfully and was prepared to leave.
However, Mosshull said, “Go to the room next door and clean up the Bear King Bloodline Detector. I want to ensure that it is functioning normally!”
“Bear King Bloodline Detector?” asked Vincent. He was shocked.
Mosshull nodded. He then said with a sneer, “That’s right! When Lord Gajero defeated the Bear King, in order to prevent the Bear King from making a comeback, he divided the Bear King’s body into countless small pieces and made it into the Bear King Bloodline Detector. He placed it in all the important cities and checkpoints. As long as the Bear King’s reincarnation appears within a hundred miles of the device, it would immediately detect them!”
Vincent swallowed his saliva nervously. He was very worried that he would be regarded as the Bear King by that machine.
However, on second thought, he had been in the Flying Snow Castle for so long and did not see any warning. That machine must be broken!
“I, I will go now!”
Vincent only wanted to escape at this time. He received the order from Mosshull and hurriedly walked to the small room at the side.
Mosshull turned to look at Vincent’s back and could not help but sigh in his heart, “It seems that I am not the only one who is afraid of the return of the Bear King! This kid looks so flustered that even I, the tribe leader, can’t tell who he is!”
Vincent, who hid in the small room, looked at the tall apparatus that almost occupied the entire room. It was still in operation. Vincent could not help but feel a little puzzled.
Didn’t they say that he was the reincarnation of the Bear King and that he had obtained the approval of the Bear King Altar? He had gone through so much trouble because of this. Why did the entire instrument let him off?
At that moment, Vincent suddenly felt a headache. It was as if there was some power in his body that he could not control. It was ready to erupt at any moment.
“Ding! Host pet detected autonomous behavior consciousness. Please be careful!”
At the same time, the system’s voice sounded in Vincent’s ear.
“Thunder?”
Vincent sighed in surprise.
Ever since he tamed Thunder as a pet, it had been very obedient. Why did it suddenly have autonomous behavior consciousness?
However, the pain at that moment was really unbearable for Vincent. He had no choice but to release Thunder.
“Whoosh!”
The moment the lightning appeared, it turned into an electric current and rushed into the Bear King Bloodline Detector.
All the warning lights on the detector suddenly lit up, and in the blink of an eye, they all dimmed again.
However, Vincent still saw the last line of text that lit up before the detector failed.
“Warning! Bear King bloodline detected!”
Vincent’s mouth was wide open in shock, and at the same time, the sound of a warning rang in his ears.
“Thunder has successfully absorbed the body of the Bear King and obtained the bloodline of his previous life. Its level has been raised to level six!”
“So, Thunder is the Real Bear King! It seems that I can’t stay here any longer!”
With a thought, Vincent quickly withdrew Thunder, pushed open the door, and hurried down the top floor under the astonished gaze of Mosshull.
