Chapter 9 Undercurrent surging
Qin Feng and his team's performance in the academy is becoming more and more eye-catching. Not only have they made rapid progress in strength, but they have also gradually accumulated prestige inside and outside the academy. However, as their fame grows, an undercurrent of uneasiness is also quietly surging.
Strange disappearances
Recently, there have been several disappearances around the Soul Master Academy. Some talented students and instructors have disappeared inexplicably, leaving very limited clues. The academy attaches great importance to this, and Vice President Feng Jian personally presided over the investigation, but there has been no breakthrough so far.
"The recent disappearances are so strange." Ye Li said worriedly. Her frost fox hissed softly beside her, as if it also sensed the uneasiness in the air.
Qin Feng frowned: "The college's protective measures have always been strict, how could such things happen one after another? There must be something hidden that we don't know."
"I don't think this matter is that simple." Chu Tian said, "Maybe we can investigate it ourselves and find some clues."
In order to find out the truth, Qin Feng and his partners decided to sneak into the restricted area of the academy at night to find out. They learned that the recent disappearances seemed to be related to that mysterious area.
"We have to be careful." Zhang Meng whispered, and his giant rock bear followed silently in the darkness, like a moving fortress.
Qin Feng nodded: "Let's divide into two groups and keep in touch. If we find anything wrong, we will retreat immediately."
They quietly sneaked into the restricted area, and the silence around them was so frightening that it made people feel uneasy. Suddenly, Ye Li keenly felt a strange fluctuation of spiritual power. She signaled to everyone, and they quietly approached and found a hidden underground passage.
"This passage looks like it leads to some hidden place." Wang Yue said softly, her light deer emitting a faint light, illuminating the road ahead.
At the end of the underground passage, they found a hidden laboratory filled with all kinds of strange devices and potions. Before they could explore further, a team of mysterious people in black robes suddenly appeared and surrounded them.
"It seems that you have discovered something you shouldn't know." The black-robed man in the lead sneered. His martial soul was a huge black bat, exuding an evil aura.
Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword and said calmly: "Who are you? Why are you conducting these secret experiments in the academy?"
The man in black robes did not answer and launched an attack directly. A fierce battle unfolded in the narrow underground laboratory. Qin Feng and his companions fought hard, but the other side had a large number of people and strong strength.
Seeing that the situation was becoming more and more dangerous, Qin Feng decided to change his strategy. He signaled Chu Tian and Zhang Meng to attract the enemy's attention, while he used the flexibility of the Dragon Shadow Sword to quickly destroy the core device in the laboratory.
"We have to leave quickly, this place is going to collapse!" Ye Li shouted anxiously.
At the last moment, Qin Feng and his partners successfully retreated, and the underground laboratory collapsed with a loud bang. Although the operation was dangerous, they also brought back important intelligence.
Qin Feng and his team successfully escaped from the collapsed underground laboratory, but their doubts grew stronger. They knew that there was a huge conspiracy hidden in the academy, and the underground laboratory was just the tip of the iceberg.
