Gu Beichen mingled with the waiters, with his head lowered and a cold light flashing in his eyes.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the clay pot in his arms, producing a subtle and specific rhythm.

In the forest outside the valley, several dark shadows moved quietly like ghosts, with bows and crossbows strung, aiming at the guards on the wall.

"Do it!" Gu Beichen shouted!

"Kill!" The disguised old farmer and his servant suddenly jumped up, pulled out short knives and daggers from under their sheepskin coats, and pounced on the captain of the guard like cheetahs!

At the same time, the bowstrings in the forest vibrated, and several poisoned crossbow arrows shot towards the wall with a shrill sound of breaking through the air!

"Enemy attack--" the guard captain roared and swung his sword to block.

"Puff puff puff!" Several guards on the wall were hit by arrows and fell down screaming.

"Shoot! Shoot!" the guard captain roared.

"Swish, swish, swish--" A rain of arrows poured down from the wall.

The two assassins who rushed over were shot like hedgehogs in an instant. Gu Beichen's body flashed strangely, avoiding the rain of arrows, and his skinny palm slammed on an inconspicuous wooden wedge of the mule cart.

"Click!" The mechanism made a slight sound, and the bottom of the mule cart suddenly bounced open, and several pottery jars covered with wet mud rolled to the ground.

"Venom, be careful!" The captain of the guards' eyes were bloodshot.

A hint of madness flashed in Gu Beichen's eyes, and he suddenly smashed the pottery jar in his arms towards the nearest pottery jar.

"No——" the guard captain roared in despair.

"boom--!"

A deafening bang!

The two clay pots collided violently and exploded!

The terrifying shock wave, mixed with scorching flames and deadly venom fragments, swept across like a storm!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" A chain of explosions occurred, and the rest of the pottery jars were affected, and even bigger explosions sounded one after another.

The valley entrance instantly turned into a sea of ​​fire, with debris flying everywhere and wooden fences shattered. The guarding soldiers screamed as they were engulfed by the flames, torn apart by the shock wave, and corroded by the venom. It was a tragic scene.

At the moment of the explosion, Gu Beichen rushed backwards like a ghost, and at the same time threw out a cloak soaked in kerosene to block most of the flying venom and fragments, but he was still blown away by the air wave and hit the rock wall heavily. His throat felt sweet and he spit out a mouthful of blood!

He struggled to get up, his purple robe was charred and torn, the plaster on his face peeled off, revealing half of his pale and sinister face, his eyes filled with resentment and a hint of horror.

The power of this venom is far beyond expectations!

"Charge in!" Gu Beichen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice hoarse and fierce. The remaining assassins rushed out of the mountains and forests and pounced on the gap in the valley that was blown open!

"Guard the gap!" The captain of the guard was covered in blood, and half of his face was corroded by the venom, but he was still waving his long sword like a mad tiger.

The remaining Fenleiwei soldiers had red eyes and used their bodies to block the gap, engaging in a brutal hand-to-hand combat with the rushing assassins!

Swords flashed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and someone fell down every second!

Inside the workshop, the huge explosion shook the entire mountain, and gravel fell down!

"Gukou!" Chu Xiling's face turned pale, and a hint of horror flashed in her cold eyes.

The venom was detonated!

"Thunder Burning Guards, hold on! The craftsmen retreat to the core area and close the isolation gates!" Chu Xiling's voice was filled with unquestionable determination. "Activate Self-Destruction Plan Three!"

"Yes!" Although the craftsmen were shocked, they remained calm and quickly retreated to the deepest part of the workshop.

The heavy iron gate slowly fell, blocking out the sounds of fighting from the outside world.

Chu Xiling stood in front of the core control console, looking at the crystal mirror that monitored the battle situation at the valley entrance, her finger hovering above a red wrench marked "number three".

Self-destruction Plan No. 3 detonated the pre-set explosives, causing a landslide to bury the entire workshop entrance area, destroying everyone involved. Unless absolutely necessary...

at this time!

"Boom!" The earth shook again, this time from inside the workshop!

"What's going on?" Chu Xiling turned around abruptly.

"Report!" A worker came running over with a terrified look on his face. "The inspection port of Reactor No. 3 is leaking, high-temperature steam is gushing out, the bearings... the bearings are broken, the agitator is stuck, and the pressure is rising rapidly!"

Chu Xiling's pupils suddenly shrank!

To make matters worse, the powerful enemy at Taniguchi has not retreated yet, and the internal reactor is out of control again!

The pressure rises rapidly. If not handled properly, the high-temperature and high-pressure mixture in the kettle will be enough to blow the entire core area into the sky!

"Lower the temperature, relieve the pressure!" Chu Xiling's voice was terrifyingly calm. "Everyone, step back, put on asbestos suits, get ice water, and prepare for forced cooling!"

The Abyss Workshop is facing internal and external troubles and is in imminent danger!

In the wind and snow outside the valley, the iron hooves are like thunder!

The cavalry torrent led by Mao Mengji finally broke through the wind and snow and appeared outside the Broken Dragon Cliff!

The scene before him made his eyes bloodshot!

The valley entrance turned into a sea of ​​fire, filled with poisonous smoke, and broken limbs were scattered all over the ground. The soldiers of the Fenlei Guard were fighting bloody battles with the black-robed warriors at the gap. Gu Beichen's figure flashed by in the firelight.

"Gu Beichen! Get ready for your death!" Mao Mengji roared like a wounded beast, his sword raised high! "My men, kill all these bastards and protect our workshop!"

"Kill!" Hundreds of cavalrymen rushed into the battle group like an angry steel torrent.

The cold spear tip instantly pierced through the chests of several dead soldiers, and the iron hooves of the war horses trampled the enemies into meat paste. Wherever they passed, people and horses fell to the ground, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.

Gu Beichen looked at Mao Mengji who was coming towards him like a demon, and a trace of unwillingness and resentment flashed in his eyes.

The valley entrance had been breached, but the core gate of the workshop was tightly closed, and explosions continued to be heard from within. It was not so easy for Chu Xiling to die.

The venom is destroyed, and attacking with all force is useless.

"Retreat!" Gu Beichen's voice was hoarse and fierce. He turned around without hesitation and took the remaining death squad with him. He dived into the windy and snowy forest like a poisonous snake and disappeared in an instant.

"Chase!" Mao Mengji roared and spurred his horse to chase.

"General! There was an explosion inside the workshop! Lord Chu might be in danger!" the deputy general shouted urgently.

Mao Mengji pulled the reins of the horse violently, the muscles on his skinny face twitched, and his eyes were filled with ferocity and struggle.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Clear the remaining enemies, treat the wounded, seal off the valley entrance, and follow me into the valley!"

The heavy core area gate slowly rose.

Mao Mengji led his men in and the scene before him made him gasp.

There was a mess around the No. 3 reactor, with high-temperature steam filling the air and a pungent smell filling the nose.

The cauldron was red hot, groaning under the weight. Chu Xiling and several craftsmen, wearing heavy asbestos suits, were directing the use of a special water cannon to spray a mixture of ice and water into the cauldron, forcing it to cool down. The pressure relief valve on the top of the cauldron hissed sharply, spewing out a scorching stream of air.

"The pressure has dropped!" a craftsman shouted hoarsely.

Chu Xiling took off her mask, her cold face was covered with sweat and cigarette ash, her lips were tightly pursed, and there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes from surviving a disaster, but more of calmness.

"Close the pressure relief valve, check the seal, and prepare to restart the maintenance."

She turned around and looked at Mao Mengji, her voice calm: "General Mao...outside the valley..."

"Gu Beichen ran away." Mao Mengji's voice was hoarse and full of resentment. "The venom was destroyed, and Gukou suffered heavy casualties."

Chu Xiling was silent for a moment, her eyes sweeping over the messy workshop and the frightened craftsmen.

“The workshop is still there.”

Her voice was cold and clear, "Although the venom is destroyed, the formula is still in our hands."
