122: Successfully penetrated the enemy!!

300 meters!

The perception range of the Perception Puppet is within 300 meters.

Ye Ze noted down this crucial piece of information.

Whoosh!! Whoosh!! Whoosh!!

A series of air-tearing sounds.

Several afterimages streaked across the void,

A group of Dark Magic Puppets charged towards the group,

"Damn it! How did they find us?"

"Run!"

"Run separately!"

...

They fled outwards in a panic,

However, their speed was far behind that of the Dark Magic Puppets.

The one who ran the furthest only managed to escape 150 meters before being caught up by the Dark Magic Puppets.

But they were all outside the Perception Puppet's detection range...

[Discovered a dark gold fragment originating from a Dark Magic Puppet]

[Analyzing the physical composition characteristics of the Dark Magic Puppet...]

[Consumed 100,000 energy points, temporarily acquired a talent of the Dark Magic Puppet - dark gold Body (C-rank)]

...

A dark glow emanated from his body,

The next second, Ye Ze transformed into a Dark Magic Puppet.

Mind Control!

A surge of mighty mental power surged from Ye Ze's mind, transforming into an invisible giant hand that grabbed the Dark Magic Puppet furthest from the Perception Puppet, threw it with force, and sent it flying hundreds of meters away.

He wasn't sure if the Perception Puppet would notice the change in the number of Dark Magic Puppets,

But to be safe, he needed to ensure that when he returned, the number of Dark Magic Puppets was within a correct range.

Emerging from behind a collapsed rock ruin, Ye Ze, disguised as a Dark Magic Puppet, returned to the palace entrance.

All members of that team just now had been sent out of the Corpse Fiend Dungeon by the Dark Magic Puppets.

400 meters...

300 meters...

The Perception Puppet did not show any abnormalities,

Soon, the Dark Magic Puppet that Ye Ze had thrown away also entered the 300-meter perception range.

At this moment, Ye Ze had reached the palace gate, watching the movements of the Perception Puppet.

If anything seemed even slightly off, he would immediately retreat deeper into the palace.

Fortunately, the Perception Puppet's single eye only lit up briefly, glanced at that Dark Magic Puppet, and then dimmed again.

"Very good, successfully infiltrated the enemy's ranks," Ye Ze thought with secret delight.

After successfully blending into the palace, the subsequent Stealth was much easier.

He noticed that the Dark Magic Puppets moved very casually, without any fixed routes.

Ye Ze began to wander around casually,

Even after wandering outside the Perception Puppet's 300-meter perception range, it didn't show any abnormalities.

Thus, Ye Ze became bolder, maintaining his Dark Magic Puppet appearance, and quickly searched for the King's Treasury corresponding to the golden key within the palace.

The internal space of the palace was very large, several times larger than the first palace.

Ye Ze first explored the surroundings,

However, two hours later, the golden key still showed no reaction.

So, he began to walk towards the central area of the palace.

Buzz!!

The golden key trembled slightly. Although it was very subtle, Ye Ze still sensed it.

"The direction is correct!"

Ye Ze's eyes lit up, and he quickened his pace.

Buzz!!! Buzz buzz!!!

The golden key vibrated more and more violently!

Passing through a giant corridor, at the end of the corridor was a light screen barrier!

Ye Ze quickly placed the golden key on it, and a dazzling light illuminated the area.

When he opened his eyes again,

Ye Ze found himself in a majestic, grand, and imposing great hall.

Countless thick gilded pillars stood around, about several hundred meters high, shining with golden light, radiant and brilliant!

Looking up, the ceiling was like a brilliant starry sky, embedded with countless gems of various sizes and colors.

Among them were pieces of bright crystal the size of millstones, emitting a soft and pure light, serving as illumination.

However—

Looking at the magnificent scene before him, Ye Ze frowned.

Although this great hall was majestic and grand...

But... this wasn't a treasury...

Should he pry off these gems, or pull out these gilded pillars?

Buzz!!!

The golden key was still trembling!!

Ye Ze raised his eyebrows and looked at the layered stairs extending infinitely upwards before him, about a thousand layers.

Could the treasure be up there?

Following the steps upwards, Ye Ze walked up step by step.

At the very top of the stairs, in the center, was placed a black throne, entirely made of dark gold, exuding a strong dark aura, while also revealing an unparalleled nobility and luxury.

However, Ye Ze's attention was not on this black throne. His gaze fell on the air above the throne, where a purple token floated.

A line of text quietly appeared before his eyes,

[a-rank mission token: Activate this token to obtain an A-rank mission]

[Explanation: This mission token can only be activated in the Ancient God Graveyard Space]

"a-rank mission token... Ancient God Graveyard..."

Ye Ze frowned slightly.

However, before he could even think...

Rumble!!! Boom boom boom!!!!

The great hall began to shake violently,

Ye Ze quickly took the purple token into his hand. No matter what it was, he would take it first.

The space distorted for a moment,

Everything around him became hazy, the outline of the great hall gradually became indistinct, and the colors slowly faded, like a beautiful painting gradually losing its original color and clarity under the erosion of time...

Finally, everything before his eyes turned into nothingness, as if nothing had ever existed...

The thousand layers of stairs beneath his feet disappeared, and Ye Ze fell from a height of several hundred meters. When he fell to only a few dozen meters from the ground, Ye Ze leaped into the shadow of a giant tree on the left, safely landing on the ground.

Scanning his surroundings, a layer of hazy mist shrouded the air, as if it had been there since ancient times.

This was Mist Island,

He had been teleported out.

"What's going on? Why did the relic Corpse Fiend Dungeon suddenly disappear??"

"No, I just opened the treasury!!"

"Could someone have already cleared the relic Corpse Fiend Dungeon?"

"Cleared? How is it considered cleared? And the Dark Magic Puppets in the second palace are forged from dark gold, it's impossible for anyone to defeat them."

"This relic Corpse Fiend Dungeon is not a Trial Instance. The clear condition might not be defeating the boss, perhaps it's obtaining a certain treasure, or other conditions..."

"..."

...

Besides Ye Ze, all the professionals who were still in the Dark Ancient City were teleported out.

"Brother Ye Ze."

A loud shout came from the side. Ye Ze turned his head and saw Gao Feng waving vigorously at him. Jiang Ziqing and others were also nearby.

Ye Ze walked towards them,

Just then, he felt a burning gaze on his back.

Instinctively turning around, Ye Ze met a pair of eyes filled with hostility and fierceness.

This person had blond hair and a rugged face. It was Arthur, with whom he had had a conflict. Behind him were a group of professionals from the United States.

Ye Ze lifted the Devourer Longblade in his hand and met his gaze without fear.

The atmosphere in the field gradually became tense, and other professionals present also cast their gazes.

"Go!"

However, to their surprise,

The United States professionals, who were usually domineering, did not choose to make a move. Instead, they led the team and turned to leave Mist Island...
