Hickman Arlington, hearing “pressure step board,” slightly tensed his facial features:

“I have no idea what you’re talking about..”

“It doesn’t matter whether you understand or not, Hickman Arlington. As long as you cooperate honestly, we will handle things according to the ‘No. 6 Wizard’s Law’.”

Philia looked away, no longer focusing on the anxious Hickman Arlington.

Her gaze moved along the fissure caused by the explosion toward the pressure step board. Many fragments of corpses torn to shreds by the explosive force appeared in her field of view.

The ‘Elemental Vision’ magic revealed:

The pressure step board is an alchemical product, composed of metal parts and stones, and carries a faint trace of earth elemental energy.

The silk thread connected to the pressure step board is a pure metal object, and it also carries a faint trace of earth elemental energy.

These threads extend from the floor of the underground Layer 10 to the ceiling

of the Underground Layer 11, which is the top of the Demon Rat Nest’s first layer.

Clearly, the silk thread is controlled by the pressure step board and is used to trigger a certain deadly trap.

For instance, four controlled-grade alchemy bombs.

The energy shock caused by these four bombs was so evident that it was hard for Philia to ignore their existence.

But the question is, how did these four controlled bombs, which should have been placed in the nest’s first layer, get detonated near the pressure step board?

Moreover, it just happened to kill the Blackbone Hermit and Armed Alchemical Servant guarding this place…

Not to mention elemental wizards like Philia being confused, even the petty Hickman Arlington is very baffled.

Could there be a hidden force on the scene?

Both Philia and Hickman Arlington had this speculation in their hearts.

Philia suspected that it might be related to the strange creature behind the Sector 7 Metal Gate.

Hickman Arlington considered the hidden force as the wizard sent by Philia’s mentor.

The two, each with their own thoughts, patiently waited for the security team members to finish clearing the temporary camp.

Philia lowered her gaze and looked down at the floor under her feet. Her gaze penetrated the passage from the first to second layer of the Demonized Rat Nest and fell on the third layer.

In the magical vision of the ‘Elemental Vision,’ each tunnel layer was filled with a strong earth elemental energy and wind elemental energy disturbed by the Demon Rats.

Only in the third layer of the nest and near the Sage’s Lock, the elemental energies were displaced by extraordinary forces, leaving several blank areas in the shape of human silhouettes.

Those human silhouettes, which repel elemental energies, are lurking in the dark corners of the third layer of the nest, just like the evil beasts waiting for their prey to come to their door.

Elemental energy is a very magical thing.

Tthe human body’s blood contains water; thus, blood carries water elemental energy.

Normal individuals’ blood is always in motion. In the ‘Elemental Vision,’ this would be reflected as a continuing flow of water elemental energy within the body.

What kind of human silhouettes would contain absolutely no trace of blood, thus possessing no water elemental energy?

The answer is self-evident.

A mysterious smile appeared on Philia’s mouth, and a mocking look as if she had caught a “mouse” appeared in her eyes.

With an ambiguous gaze, she glanced at Hickman Arlington.

Although it was just a casual look, it made Hickman Arlington jitter nervously, his entire face turning ghastly pale.

“Hickman Arlington, you should have guessed what I saw, right? With the help of ‘Elemental Vision,’ all Blackbone Hermits are exposed to me.”

Philia said coldly:

“Now you have two choices.”

“First, provide sufficient mana to the Death Spike Wand, unlock your magic lock, and completely hand over the right to use it. If you cooperate, not only will I allow you to return to the ground level the way you came, but I also will allow you to keep the reward for creating the wand. Our cooperation ends here.”

“The second choice. You can choose not to hand over the wand, but you have to go to the third layer of the nest with me. If you dare to do anything during this

period, I will be the first to wipe you out… My mentor didn’t just give me the ‘Elemental Vision’ scroll.”

The color of Hickman Arlington’s face alternated between pale and ashen; his pupils constantly contracted, and his gaze swayed around. He was torn inside.

He said laboriously in his hoarse voice: “I… I will give you the wand.”

“Good.”

Hickman Arlington took a deep breath and continued:

“If you have enough money, I can sell you a piece of information… information related to the third layer of the nest. But you have to give me the money first before I can tell you.”

The elemental wizards around him heard his words and looked at Hickman Arlington with disgust. They probably knew what kind of information he wanted to sell. This kind of person without principles who only recognizes money and can sell anyone, it’s better to leave the team sooner.

Philia smirked contemptuously and grabbed a handful of light orbs from the alchemical stone and threw them over:

“You have offended the Alchemist of the Black City and should be eager to leave the Fission Wilderness, right? This bag contains a one- time ‘Food Creation

Magic Scroll,’ a one-hour ‘Flying Broom Summoning Scroll,’ and an additional

50,000 Union coins, is that sufficient?”

Hickman Arlington caught the light orbs. It was a cloth bag containing the items Philia mentioned.

Hickman Arlington put away the cloth bag.

He pulled out the Death Spike Wand he had made for the Elemental Judgement, and as he replenished the wand with energy, he said:

“It’s the Third-Order Alchemist, Chiraven from the Blackbone Secret Society. He is guarding the third layer of the nest with a group of alchemists whose strength is not less than the First Order.”

“Third Order Alchemist, Chiraven…” Philia became serious..
