Chapter 1188: Chapter 178: The Final Preparations and Departure (Thanks to the chief Yin Liuxiao!)_3
Regarding the others, Ian didn’t ask much. Ian Gard and Anfa were definitely fully equipped, while Sio was essentially here for rehabilitation… and to help Ian conceal his identity.
This ti, Anfa brought along an extra cybernetic body. This body’s abilities were similar to Sio’s cybernetic body, and its appearance was that of the young girl Sio used to mimic. When clad in defensive armor, it was enough to simulate Sio’s presence.
As for Sio, she will wear the Entangling Void Armor at a critical mont to simulate Ian’s presence.
Then Ian could operate independently for a period and have a solid alibi!
Regarding Ian’s plan, so in the team naturally deed it dangerous and opposed it—but Ian quickly convinced them.
“I have so truly important secrets.”
He stated calmly, “These secrets are of great significance, related to my talent, legacy, and the power I currently possess… you should understand what level of secrets these are, right? Please don’t delve too deeply; it’s for the safety of all of us.”
“But this ti,” he continued, his gaze lowering, “If I can co back alive, then I will…”
“No!” Upon hearing this, Ian Gard imdiately signaled to stop, shaking his head vehently, “Don’t say such things! It will invite misfortune!”
Everyone has secrets, and Ian’s secrets are known by all who are familiar with him, yet they all tacitly refrain from probing into them.
Given Ian’s willingness to reveal the truth upon his return, they would just have to wait.
Aside from that, there’s the Essence Furnace Core, ditative Soul, and Pioneer of Iron… Ian has already advanced the completion to sixty percent. However, as the materials for Fairy Third Tier are yet unattainable, and Iron Lord’s Domain of Extres is incomplete, the progress is stalled.
Nevertheless, even an imperfect Pioneer of Iron is completely sufficient.
Throughout the camp, as long as no Fourth Level entity engages, Ian could defeat everyone… even if all engaged simultaneously, defeating him would be impossible!
As for the Ancient Dragon Heart Core and the Aether Crystal, their operations are very smooth. The Ancient Dragon Heart Core even has an implicit sense of excitent, perhaps sensing the surrounding dragon blood and wanting to complete itself?
“Next, adjust your state and prepare for departure.”
After organizing his weapons and trump cards, a sowhat weary Ian removed his coat, lay on the bed, and covered himself with a blanket for a good night’s sleep.
A dreamless night.
…
In the year 874 of Terra, June 12th.
The exploration began.
“The Exotic Species Research Institute is located deep underground, with dozens of different entrances. Each team has different departure sequences and entry points to avoid conflicts at the start, also for comprehensive exploration.”
“We are the seventh to depart.”
When the King of the Mountain ca to the camp to announce the Southern Ridge Worship Dragon Sect’s entry order, Ian didn’t feel surprised.
First would undoubtedly be Canaan Moore, followed by The Empire and the Azure Sky Royal Court. Afterwards, Yanjiang and the City of Knowledge, followed by Canaan Moore’s Dragon Worship Cult.
The Southern Ridge Worship Dragon Sect ranking seventh was naturally normal, and those ranking after them would obviously be the Silver Fae from the Death chanism Country.
Ian saw those Silver Fae from afar, unlike the generally carefree and sotis drunken Fae in a bar (Ian actually couldn’t understand why Fae would get drunk), the Silver Fae’s nature seed entirely different from other Fae origins. Though they’re hospitable and have the quirky or perhaps peculiar thinking patterns of other Fae, they’re exceedingly proficient in cooperation, battle, and destruction, becoming the sharpest spear among the Fae.
Under the Dragon King of Death Timothael’s command, these Silver Fae were trained to be incredibly elite; rely seeing them from afar exudes an aura of deadly precision.
But this doesn’t hinder the fact that ten so Fae sitting in a row rely resemble a large box of eggs.
“…Silver Fae, huh.”
Ian gazed at the distant Fae team, nodding slightly, “After reaching Third Tier, concealing my true power with normal disguises will be absolutely insufficient.”
“I must change. I need to try acquiring the ‘Silver Fae’ Bloodline… at the very least, I must make a connection with them this ti.”
“If given a chance, I’ll lend them a hand in the ruins.”
Led by the King of the Mountain, Ian and his team took Canaan Moore’s dragonfly-like high-speed craft to the nearby ‘Exotic Species Research Institute Number Seven Entrance.’
This entrance is located around the Favette Mountain Range, a usual wilderness area with sparse vegetation and rugged boulders scattered around. Yet, it has considerable gold and various mineral reserves, leading to several mining towns in this deserted expanse.
The initial discovering of the Exotic Species Research Institute entrance and Qing Steel Stone were precisely by these miners… they opened a tunnel leading to a subterranean cavity, exposing the truths buried underground.
The relic’s entrance wasn’t conspicuous, with only a simple entrance zone established by Canaan Moore’s staff, adjacent to the logistics team with prepared supplies. From far, it resembled more like a mining transfer point, exceptionally well-concealed.
In the center of the entrance area sits a massive crevice, several tens of ters wide, seemingly leading straight to the depths below, with only the central section artificially carved, the rest shaped by recent natural changes.
Standing in front of this deep, dark rift, Ian gazed thoughtfully into the depths below.
“What’s wrong?”
Noticing his friend’s sowhat grim expression, Ian Gard approached for inquiry.
“Hmm… extraordinary.”
Ian replied without turning his head, his eyes shimring in water-cyan hues, reflecting a brilliant radiance.
A glow mingling gold and silver, granting a sense of unbelievable grandeur and majesty!
—Indeed.
Ian thought thus. Inside the Exotic Species Research Institute, there really exists a creature approaching Fifth Energy Level!
