Chapter 1003 -309: Recognition from Top Immortal Aegis Animals
The third-floor seal space of the research institute was much smaller than the second floor, and the water from above flooded in like a dam burst, quickly rising above the knees.
Countless devil leeches in the water coalesced into numerous tendrils, sharp as spears, attracted by the breath of the living, stabbing wildly like lightning.
This creature had previously given the people from the Southern Continent a taste of its power, and nobody wanted to tangle with it.
But Heman’s group hadn’t gotten the jar from inside the golden pyramid and had no intention of retreating; they defended against the glowing tentacles with dragon’s breath while destroying the pyramid.
The White Family didn’t know why the Southern Continent group was searching for that jar, but whatever the enemy was urgently looking for, that was exactly what they intended to thwart.
Besides, if those people actually managed to escape, it would be the White Family who would have to face the nearly unsolvable Leech King.
Having a group to share the Leech King’s firepower also seemed better.
Both parties continued to clash over the jar.
The instigator, Leonard Churchill, was once again pierced by several tendrils.
However, he had become accustomed to it.
Avoiding the fatal spots, he repeated his old trick: using Prosperity to suck blood and continue feigning death while playing dead.
The Leech King possessed a certain level of wisdom, but it wasn’t very high.
It still couldn’t discern his kind of feigned death.
At least he wasn’t a priority target.
Although the people from both sides now knew that a third party was messing with them, they had to fight this battle of open strategy.
And as they were all too busy vying for the jar, nobody had the leisure to deal with Leonard, who was hidden among the tentacles.
If he faced only those glowing tentacles, Leonard’s chances of survival could even be higher than those of the seventh-tier combatants.
The situation developed almost exactly as he had deduced.
The fight between the White Family and the Southern Continent people turned into a three-way battle with the glowing tentacles.
Casualties occurred frequently.
Facing the Leech King alone, both sides had a fighting chance.
But in a three-way battle, they always had to guard against the other side’s dirty tricks.
With an insect control master, the White Family faced much less threat from the Leech King compared to the people from the Southern Continent; the crisis instead became an advantage for them.
The White Family also clearly understood that they had been targeted, and if they didn’t take down more of the Southern Continent’s people, even if they managed to leave the research institute, they wouldn’t be able to escape smoothly.
The more the two sides fought, the more they coveted each other’s positions.
…
Leonard Churchill didn’t pay attention to the intense battle over there.
Regardless of who emerged victorious between the White Family and the Southern Continent’s people, it no longer had anything to do with them.
The goal of instigating the battle had been achieved.
What Leonard needed to do now was to preserve his life as much as possible.
So, he controlled the air to float against the current in the water, keeping his distance from the battlefield as much as possible.
The commotion from the battle continued for half an hour and then abruptly came to a halt.
It was unclear what happened.
But judging by the sounds of the battle, both sides must have suffered losses.
The number of living “airs” Leonard sensed dwindled from over thirty to less than ten.
The outcome of the battle was very much in his favor.
It was very likely that Heman’s group had snatched the jar and escaped using spatial methods.
The White Family may also have had some other means at their disposal.
Leonard didn’t give it much thought.
Without those extremely vital high-order card masters, the Leech King’s tentacles again dispersed.
The water was filled with small, semi-transparent leeches.
Leonard suppressed his own vital signs to a very low level; the Leech King clearly wasn’t interested in such an insufficient blood meal.
Although his body was covered with leeches, with the help of Prosperity’s bloodsucking ability, it was not a significant concern.
Continuing to control the air, he drifted in the water for nearly an hour before Leonard returned to the second floor of the research institute.
….
In the Central Control Room.
Sophia Jones’s look of concern finally dissipated as she watched Leonard Churchill return.

It was good that he had come back alive.
She had initially wanted to help but realized that she couldn’t be of much assistance in that situation.
Leonard didn’t feel it was particularly dangerous, as most of the situation had been within his expectations.
The other parts of the process that depended on luck didn’t matter anymore.
Being alive was now a fact.
However, after a momentary eye contact, Leonard also keenly noticed a hint of something amiss in Sophia Jones’s expression and asked, “Aunt Jones, what happened?”
Sophia Jones’s brow furrowed slightly as she said, “It seems I’ve failed.”
“Failed?”
Leonard was momentarily stunned before he realized what she was talking about and confirmed, “You mean… your sacrifice failed?”
“Mhm.”
Sophia Jones nodded.
She seemed to be at a loss herself, pondering for a moment before adding, “I don’t know what went wrong. But the fact is, I offered the sacrifice according to the ritual. But… the result was, I didn’t receive any response from the Immortal Aegis Animals.”
As she spoke, her expression contained a hint of apology.
After all, a “Crimson Decay Vital Blood Vessel” was a top-tier divine material that was extremely rare and valuable; it was a pity to have wasted it.
“Ah?”
Leonard was surprised to hear this.
He had never expected it to fail.
He had seen the Immortal Aegis Animals summoned by the people from the White Family on the third floor, each one imposing and commanding, with some even exuding terrifyingly oppressive golden auras.
This implied that the Secret Tomb of Immortal Aegis Animals indeed harbored many ancient Immortal Aegis Animals spirits.
So how could it have failed?
In terms of qualifications, talent, mark, lineage, and the sacrifice itself, Sophia Jones was impeccable compared to those from the White Family.
It seemed impossible for her to fail.
It wasn’t expected that she would summon a golden Immortal Aegis Animal, but at the very least, some ordinary ones should have responded, right?
This situation was akin to a pond clearly full of fish, where even high-grade bait for shark fishing had been consumed, yet not even a small fish showed its face?
