Chapter 777: Chapter 414: Fox Mountain Expedition Vehicle in the Treasure Vault

Hoo...

The cold wind blew from the darkened sky, mixed with small snowflakes, falling onto the high-rise buildings and twisting streets of Hai City.

The tallest Celestial Wave Mansion was especially shrouded in the blizzard.

Buzz... buzz... buzz...

Drones were flying in the snowstorm, like a swarm of bees, aiming their cameras at the top of the Celestial Wave Mansion and the entrance to the Great Treasure Vault, broadcasting live from every angle.

The glass curtain wall on the top floor was completely shattered, exposing the disordered office inside and a stylish frosted glass door.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Occasionally, a silhouette would fly from the outside world into the office and into that frosted glass door.

...

Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory.

Fang Xiaoyu sat behind Bai Mo, with Bai Mo and Coffee Claw, three heads, six eyes watching the live broadcast on the screen together.

"Oh my god, there are so many people in this live stream! And the number keeps increasing!"

"Is the door they are entering through the entrance to the vault?"

Bai Mo glanced a few more times, frowned.

"I suppose so?"

Fox Mountain entered this vault not through the entrance, but by using the coordinates he left behind last time.

But from the live stream, the entrance seems to be that door, indeed.

Comments flew by quickly in the live stream chat.

[I heard this vault is really eerie, our side, the Immortal Committee, doesn’t get involved.]

[Wasn’t this treasure vault opened once before?]

[Why again, when will it end?]

[The last time was a drill, this time is for real.]

[Those Fallen Immortals must be fully prepared this time, right?]

[We can only watch from outside? What’s so interesting outside? Who knows what it’s like inside the treasure vault?]

...

Woo... woo...

The storm howled!

Snow covered the sky and earth!

In the snowstorm that blocked the sun, behind large rocks in a slightly sheltered spot, several hulking men in iron armor huddled, their faces already red from freezing, bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They spoke in shivering voices.

"This... this place... why is there snow... it’s too cold..."

"Master’s judgment was wrong! He didn’t predict there would be snow inside!"

"We should take off this iron armor; it draws more heat from our bodies, we’ll experience hypothermia and soon freeze to death!"

"No... can’t take it off... without the armor, we’ll freeze to death in the wind..."

A group of Immortal Technique Masters had stiffened faces, trembling bodies, rapid breathing, each even invigorated by freezing, a chaotic mess of thoughts swirling through their minds!

Inwardly, they vaguely understood...

"Seems this time, we can’t walk out alive."

"The Ancient Immortal couldn’t foresee this blizzard, couldn’t provide proper Immortal Technique protection; we came only to die."

"Hehe haha, what’s there to fear, what’s there to fear, many others barged in recklessly like us, countless others, dying together! We won’t be lonely on the Yellow Springs Road!"

As they muttered, seemingly insane, they suddenly saw a spark fly swiftly through the storm in the distance!

They fell silent, kept staring at that spark, until it faded in the distance, vanishing into the blizzard.

"So, someone’s master knew about the snowstorm in advance?"

...

Hoo... hoo...

Amidst the roaring snowstorm, the hulking man had a huge shield bound to his arm, his body hidden behind the shield, swiftly navigating through the storm.

This shield glowed red like a burning iron!

By now, snowflakes battering against the shield instantly vaporized amidst sizzling sounds, white mist enveloping the shield’s surface.

"Hehe!"

The hulking man grinned, trudging through the snow with heavy footsteps!

His master investigated last time, discovered the vault housed a fierce snowstorm; to survive inside, one must prevent freezing to death!

He plans to find a wind-sheltered place, utilize the shield, persevere while others perish, striving to be the last man standing!

Though the shield heats his chest, though the wind chills his back, he can at least survive in this storm. Far better off than those poor souls freezing to death!

Suddenly, he heard an odd sound in the distance, looked up, eyes scanning through the blizzard, he immediately widened his eyes.

"Eh?

"This... this... am I seeing right?

"Inside the Great Treasure Vault, how... how can there be a car?"

He watched in disbelief, as that iron-gray car with oversized wheels crossed through the snow, disappearing from his view.

...

Amidst ruined debris.

Four broken walls blocked the wild wind.

No cover overhead, ice and snow falling.

A teenage boy in thick polar expedition gear huddled in a corner of these ruined walls, hands holding a fiery red mantis.

This mantis not only had an unusual color, but unbelievably had two long whiskers above its mouth, clearly aged!

"Uncle Mantis, it all depends on you!"

The Ancient Immortal Master told him that this Fire Poison Mantis had survived countless years, accumulating endless fire poisons within; every half hour, a small injection of fire poison from the mantis would help him endure this endless snowstorm.

Cradling Uncle Mantis in his hands, his gaze never strayed, fixated on the mantis...

His master said, within this Great Treasure Vault, the snowstorm could ignore sequences, equally stripping the heat from everyone, equally freezing each to death!

And the Fire Poison Mantis could be of help, given it’s a pinnacle creation of the Gu Dao Domain, able to be nurtured only by Sequence Five and higher Gu Masters!

"Ordinarily, I can’t access such high-end stuff."

Reflecting quietly, eyes constantly examining the left wing of the mantis, suddenly ears perked, hearing a sound emanating from afar.
