Chapter 2482 Infiltration
An Overseer with a red fang mask suddenly asked, "Sir, if Fang Bai joins, should we intervene?"
At these words, everyone fell silent once more, turning their attention to the three high-tier Overseers in the center, who wore purple fang masks.
"Fang Heng? Why should we stop him? Is there something different about Fang Bai? Does he have three heads and six arms or something?"
"Yes! Understood!"
...
Meanwhile, Bai Mu and his team of three finally figured out a way to infiltrate the Tower of the White Abyss.
The guards at the Tower of the White Abyss were extremely tight, and it took them over two full days to get inside.
Obtaining an invitation card was far from as simple as Fang Heng had imagined.
Each invitation card issued by the White Abyss came with a specific serial number and was sent to various special world boundaries.
In cases where someone like Fang Heng, whose combat power had suddenly surged, appeared, additional personnel would be dispatched for secondary verification.
The most crucial point was that Bai Mu and his team did not possess a divine weapon like Fang Heng"s "Divine Prank," nor did they have the initial ident.i.ty reward provided by the game.
As demonic seeds, their auras were difficult to conceal, and their combat methods largely relied on the innate abilities of their demonic nature.
This made it easy for their demonic seed ident.i.ty to be exposed once they engaged in combat with enemies.
After several failed attempts, Bai Mu revised their infiltration strategy. Instead of trying to enter as compet.i.tors, they decided to use another method: a ritual to blend into the White Abyss Arena.
Their cover ident.i.ty for this mission was that of a potioneer, responsible for producing various restorative potions and most of the potions that counteract demonic seeds within the arena.
Bai Mu was very glad that there was a companion in the team who had in-depth research on medicine.
Finally, he managed to enter Floor 40 of the White Abyss Arena through disguise.
In the potion research room, taking advantage of the fact that no one else was around, they found an opportunity to discuss their battle plan quietly.
"From the intelligence we"ve gathered, historical information seems to be stored in the central control hall on Floor 150 floor of the Tower of the White Abyss. We need to find a way to get in there, breach the control center system, and obtain the list of personnel who have pa.s.sed through the Tower of the White Abyss each year. By identifying the SSS-rank victors and cross-referencing the reduced number of people, we can trace back through the clues to locate the world boundaries of these individuals..."
"At that point, although we can"t guarantee a hundred percent, there is over a sixty percent chance we"ll find the sealed demonic seed."
"What we need to do is infiltrate as discreetly as possible, avoiding any disturbance," Bai Mu instructed.
The others nodded in agreement as they listened to Bai Mu"s carefully laid-out plan. His strategy was the most reliable approach.
By keeping noise and commotion to a minimum, they hoped to acquire the intelligence they needed without alerting the demonic seed of Jealousy, thereby freeing more demonic seeds.
However, everyone was aware that infiltrating the upper levels wouldn"t be easy. Moreover, their team"s mission to invade the White Abyss was complicated by the presence of another ticking time bomb.
"Bai Mu, what about Jing Ge"er?"
"Hmm."
Bai Mu gave a slight nod, but the mention of Jing Ge"er weighed heavily on him. He sighed deeply and said, "They should have their plans."
Jing Ge"er was one of the embodiments of the demonic seed of Pride. His strategic approach had always differed significantly from Bai Mu"s.
In the beginning, with a common enemy and mutual hatred, Bai Mu and Jing Ge"er were able to collaborate despite their differences. However, as their cooperation deepened, especially with their current mission into the White Abyss, their conflicts came to a head.
Unlike Bai Mu, Jing Ge"er thought Bai Mu"s seemingly cautious plan was utterly foolish.
Since they had already managed to infiltrate the White Abyss, why not directly seek out the sealed demonic seeds left by the demonic seed of "Jealousy", aim to fully liberate them, and then join forces to eliminate the demonic seed of "Jealousy" completely? Wouldn"t that have been a better approach?
Even if they couldn"t defeat Jealousy directly, Jing Ge"er believed they could at least escape if necessary and then follow Bai Mu"s plan afterward.
Bai Mu, on the other hand, thought Jing Ge"er"s approach was far too reckless.
The seals created by the demonic seed of "Jealousy" were not something that could be easily broken in a short time. Furthermore, the guards in the White Abyss Arena were not weak by any means.
Even if they managed to release the demonic seeds from the White Abyss, would they be able to handle "Jealousy"? If "Jealousy" were truly that weak, how had it managed to seal so many demonic seeds in the first place?
After all, this was something even the Holy Realm had never achieved!
At this stage, the risk of killing "Jealousy" by force was too high. It was almost impossible to complete the mission.
With neither side able to persuade the other, they decided to part ways, each working to infiltrate the White Abyss Arena according to their own predetermined plans and remaining uninvolved with one another.
"Jing Ge"er"s operation is on a larger scale and will likely cause significant disturbances that might impact us, so we need to act faster. We should focus on infiltrating the higher levels, locating clues about the sealed demonic seed, and then leaving immediately."
"I"ve received information that later today, there will be a sacrificial ritual involving a batch of regular demonic seeds. During this time, the Overseers guarding the Tower of the demonic seed will be concentrated on the fusion process. We should take advantage of this window to explore the higher levels of the White Abyss Arena."
Everyone quickly discussed the details of the operation.
A woman in the team suddenly spoke up, "If Jing Ge"er and his group also enter the White Abyss Arena, they might choose to strike the sealed land of the demonic seed during that time. If that"s the case, the pressure on us would be greatly reduced."
"Indeed. In any case, we need to be even more discreet," Bai Mu nodded. "Regardless of whether Jing Ge"er"s actions succeed or not, we need to secure enough leverage for ourselves."
"Alright, everyone start preparing."
"Got it."
As the others dispersed to get ready and deploy their plans, Bai Mu suddenly thought of Fang Heng.
He had initially hoped to bring Fang Heng along for the infiltration of the White Abyss Arena, intending to include him in the fight for a better chance of success.
However, there had been some communication issues, and he hadn"t been able to reach Fang Heng last night.
It was likely too late now.
However, since he still had some free time, Bai Mu chose to log off temporarily and contact Old Black to find out about Fang Heng"s situation in the game.
"Hm? What did you say?"
Bai Mu, having just logged off, was surprised to hear from Old Black that Fang Heng had already entered the White Abyss Arena. His mind was immediately stirred.
"Fang Bai? He"s found an invitation letter and joined the White Abyss Arena as a compet.i.tor?"
Bai Mu was astonished.
How did this kid, Fang Heng, manage to pull that off?
Just how long had it been since entering the game, and they had already managed to infiltrate the White Abyss Arena?
As expected.
Given that Fang Heng had reached this level solely through his own strength, there was no doubt about his capabilities.
"I understand. I"ll find a way to get in touch with him."
Hanging up the phone, Bai Mu immediately lowered his head in thought, considering how to maximize Fang Heng"s value.
