Chapter 111: Military Camp
Destiny's Dominion · 第一一一章 军营
After Louise Lindon left, Li Mochen also got into a luxury car from Nathan Sports Group and returned to Unicorn Apartment.
Just as Li Mochen stepped into his duplex mansion, he noticed a beam of light suddenly flash before his eyes through the bulletproof glass in the high-ceilinged living room.
Li Mochen raised his eyebrows and quickly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, flames flickering in his eyes as he looked toward the source of the light.
The beam of light just now was the communication signal he had agreed upon with Li Tailai. For this purpose, the latter would rent a room near Unicorn Apartment, dedicated to their communication.
Li Mochen did not know the extent of surveillance and tailing around him, but he had to be cautious.
After all, in this world, there were listening devices and various interception and monitoring technologies, and many famous people had suffered from them. So whether it was home phones or mobile phones, he had to be wary.
The Colinson brothers and Li Tailai's group, as his private armed forces, would help him handle some illegal affairs in the future.
Thus, Li Mochen adopted a cautious attitude from the start, not wanting to be caught by those with ulterior motives. Once their conversations were recorded, it would surely become a weakness for him in the future.
Just three seconds later, Li Mochen's 'Fire Eye Truth-Seeking' technique had already located the anomaly across the street.
It was on the thirty-second floor of another building diagonally opposite. On the outside of a glass window, a piece of white paper was pasted, with a series of numbers written in conspicuous red ink.
Li Mochen quickly deciphered the meaning of these numbers, and joy surged in his heart. He thought, these three were indeed talents carefully cultivated by Li Chunchu; had they already found Hancock's whereabouts so quickly?
After that, he hurried into the alchemy room, took out the eleventh-level Shadow Bear hide he had prepared long ago, along with some metal materials, and began to work busily.
About an hour later, the 'spiritual artifact' in Li Mochen's hands was completed.
—The overall shape was a Western-style cloak, but the technique used to refine it originated from the Primordial Dome Realm.
Li Mochen then placed a wooden man made with immortal arts in the meditation room, put on the 'Black Rhino' armor, and strapped the 'Holy Thunder Judgment' on his back.
When Li Mochen also draped the newly forged Shadow Cloak over himself, his entire figure was shrouded in darkness and shadow.
Dragon Pulse!
The Little Darkfire Dragon, which had been awake for some time, let out a soft roar. An instant later, Li Mochen's figure became even more concealed and hard to see.
After advancing to level five and purifying its bloodline, the Little Darkfire Dragon had mastered several new abilities. In shadow magic, besides the original 'Shadow Shelter' and 'Shadow Stealth' both upgraded to intermediate level, it had also learned 'Shadow Blessing', 'Shadow Hand', and so on.
Among them, 'Shadow Blessing' was especially powerful in enhancing shadow magic. The Dragon Pulse had mastered it at the intermediate level, which could increase the effects of 'Shadow Shelter' and 'Shadow Stealth' by fifty to sixty percent.
At this moment, if Li Mochen hid in the shadows without moving, even some ninth- or tenth-level magic energy professionals could not detect his presence. And even when he moved, it would be difficult for others to notice unless they paid special attention.
Next, Li Mochen formed hand seals, using his mental power to activate the external elixir, causing a cluster of fine dust particles to gather and then disperse around him.
At this time, he seemed unchanged, but in fact, he had enveloped himself in an earth-type illusion that could greatly reduce his presence, making those who saw him almost instinctively ignore his existence.
After that, Li Mochen leaped from the southern balcony of the mansion, plummeting rapidly from a height of one hundred and fifty meters. But just as his figure descended to about fifty meters above the ground, the cloak on him suddenly spread out to both sides, shaped like bat wings, allowing Li Mochen to stop his fall and glide swiftly through the high altitude.
……
At two o'clock in the morning, Li Mochen, Li Tailai, and the Collinson brothers, four of them, appeared on a tall building in the southwest of the city.
"Is he here?"
Li Mochen asked while using the technique of 'Fiery Eye to See Truth' to examine a five-story slab building across the way. It looked like a military dormitory built by America in the suburbs during the Cold War, now abandoned.
Since many of the windows were broken, he could faintly make out some figures inside.
Unfortunately, his external elixir was only of the earth, fire, and wood elements, and none of these three systems had good clairvoyance techniques. Also, due to the distance, his Heavenly Mind Illumination couldn't work.
They also had infrared thermal imagers, but the dense demonic energy of the protective array across the way greatly reduced the effectiveness of this high-tech device.
"Before I went to the Unicorn to inform you, Boss, I confirmed he entered this building."
Li Tailai said while glancing sideways at the Collinson brothers: "Dandy Hancock is very cunning. In the afternoon, he moved with his most trusted men from the old lair to here. If I hadn't happened to go there at that time, I'd still be running around like a headless chicken."
Lawrence Collinson then assured with extreme seriousness: "I guarantee that after A-Tai left, Hancock never came out of this building. As for whether there are other passages underground, that's beyond my ability."
"It's worth mentioning that Hancock might have an Outlaw with him—the one in the red shirt. I've already commissioned someone to find out his identity. Hancock himself also has a strong demonic energy reaction; I suspect he's carrying a powerful artifact of grade 11B or above. Additionally, the building itself has a formidable protective array."
Li Tailai continued explaining the situation: "If you, Boss, plan to strike them, we might need more people and a thorough plan."
"No need."
Li Mochen feared that delays would lead to complications—whether Hancock awakened and fled, or the Lyndon family found this place, neither was desirable.
So he directly spread the bat wings behind him: "Trouble you to watch the outside and make sure no one comes out."
The three present were greatly surprised.
"If I understand correctly, Boss, you mean to go in alone?"
Lawrence Collinson's expression was uncertain: "As far as I know, Boss, you should still be a fourth-level magic swordsman?"
"Fifth level now."
Li Mochen heard the concern in his tone but paid it no mind.
He knew that no amount of explanation would help now, so he directly gave orders: "You can also prepare for rescue. If I seem to be failing, be ready to assist my retreat at any time."
Li Tailai already felt a headache coming on, but just as he was about to say something, Li Mochen's figure had already leaped over the railing, quickly approaching the five-story building under the cover of night.
It was evident that the shadow spell constant on Li Mochen's cloak and the illusion he cast were extremely powerful. Even as Li Mochen approached the dormitory and landed on the balcony of the fourth floor, those inside noticed nothing unusual.
But the three watching from afar were tense, knowing that the most dangerous part was yet to come. The magical protective array in this abandoned military camp was quite advanced, with a certain recognition ability that would spontaneously resist intruders.
Yet the next moment, they saw a burst of spiritual light spread under Li Mochen's feet, causing the magical prohibitions that should have been triggered to have no reaction at all.
