Afterward, the elite soldiers used long grappling hooks to bring back half of the giant ape monster's corpse.
On the other side of the camp's high wall.
The native guards also ran to look at the other half of the corpse in shock.
However, Čepes was not surprised anymore, because the Hump-Head Spiny Skin Beast was several times bigger than the ancient-jaw beast, and its skin, muscles, and bones were more solid. However, it was still cut in half by this scholar named "Blockhead". If that sword was a peerless, sharp sword, even if it was shocking enough, it would still be a little better. The problem was that the sword that caused this effect was not a normal sword at all. It was more like a casually cast steel door.
"This is incredible! How did he do it?" Boar-Man York couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
"How much strength does he have to use to cut an ancient-jaw beast in half! And this is the leader of the ancient-jaw beasts, it's extraordinary! " Goatherman Stan found that the skin, muscles, tendons, bones, and other tissues of the corpse were all as smooth as a mirror. It was like a natural work of art, without any flaws.
Outside the city.
Fan Lundin, the guard captain of the governor of Özy, was also carefully observing the other half of the corpse with a frown.
If he didn't see it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe that someone could cut an ancient-jaw beast in half with one sword. This was not a fat lamb that was usually slaughtered and eaten, but an ancient-jaw beast that was several times more agile than humans, and had skin as hard as rock and bones as hard as steel. Although it was not easy to cut it, even if it was hit by a normal sword, it would be like hitting wood or stone.
What gave Fan Lundin the most headache was that the sword that the man raised was an unimaginably huge sword.
If the man used this huge sword.
He could kill the ancient-jaw beast with one sword, or smash it to death with one sword.
That would be reasonable, but the huge sword cut the ancient-jaw beast in half without any damage …
"It seems that this group of interesting guests!" Fan Lundin realized that in addition to the young man who killed the ancient-jaw beast with one sword, there were many human powerhouses on the high wall of the camp. Each of them had the strength of a knight, or even higher. When the ancient-jaw beasts attacked the city, it seemed to be a critical situation, but in fact, many human powerhouses didn't even make a move. They were still watching the battle leisurely.
The attack was temporarily stopped because of Lin Dong's huge sword.
The two sides stopped fighting.
The people in the camp seized the time to rest. Many of the guards had also prepared fire starters. When the main group left the camp, they would set fire to the wooden huts and block the enemy's pursuit. Outside the city, they set up camp and rested, waiting for an opportunity and more reinforcements.
There was never a time when it was completely dark in Purgatory. It would only be darker at night.
It was different from the surface.
There wouldn't be a pitch-black darkness here where one wouldn't be able to see their own fingers.
In order to prevent sneak attacks and deliberate deception, torches were lit everywhere in the camp.
Some Mutants or Humanoid Guards with especially good eyesight noticed a few black dots flying in the sky. When they got closer, they immediately saw that these black dots were City Lord Özy's trump card, the Blackwater Wyverns.
"Do they have knights on their backs?" Čepes asked seriously when he heard the news.
"No, they should be scouts sent by the Wyvern Knights. But as long as they fly back, they will immediately bring the main force over. We have to leave now, Čepes. If we don't leave now, it will be too late! " Boar-Man York suggested to Čepes to open the secret passage immediately and let everyone leave. With the speed of the wyverns, once they found the target, they would arrive in no time.
"Don't Özy's people know about the camp? Why do they still need to send scouts? "Bloody Mary's eyes flashed as she asked curiously.
"Flying in the sky is different from walking on the ground. At an extremely high altitude, the feeling of looking down on the ground is completely different from what we usually see with our eyes." Čepes explained a little and hurriedly ran into the camp leader's stone house, preparing to open the second secret passage and let everyone leave the camp in advance.
"Captain Babu and the rest are not back yet!" Goat Shidan was a little anxious.
Because they needed to escort the traveling merchants and hunters out of the camp, Captain Babu and Little Chuck had not returned yet.
If the camp was set on fire now and everyone left, Babu and the rest might not be able to come back.
Even if they could come back, they would not be able to enter the second secret passage. They might even be discovered by Van Lundin and the rest and be killed.
Čepes was a little troubled, he nodded and said, "I believe they will come back in time! But we have a lot of people, so we can't wait any longer. We have to leave in advance! "
As guests, the expedition team had the privilege of being the first to leave.
Moreover, Čepes also arranged for the Boar Man York to lead a group of humanoids to open the way and escort them.
After a few minutes of discussion, they accepted Čepes's kindness, picked up their bags, and set off again. Behind them were the natives and some brave hunters who stayed behind to guard the camp. As for the camp guards, except for a few humanoids who were clearing the way, all stayed behind to set fire to cut off the pursuers and set up traps to completely block the enemy's pursuit.
Before Lin Dong entered the camp leader's stone house.
He looked up at the sky.
He found a few Black Water Flying Dragons swooping down, as if they were investigating the situation in the camp.
From time to time, the camp guards nocked arrows and shot at them. However, such small fights were like tickles to the huge Black Water Flying Dragons.
At the last moment of the previous agreement, Captain Babu and Little Chuck finally rushed back from the first secret passage.
They were dripping wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water.
No one knew whether they were covered in water or sweat.
"Dear Mr. Wood, please set off immediately. We're running out of time! Valentine isn't a fool. We can't hide our retreat from him for long. We have to get ahead of him and cover up everything … "Čepes said a lot, but Lin Dong said he didn't understand. Fox casually said a few words, and then the two of them bid farewell to Čepes.
"What's wrong?" Captain Babu rushed to Čepes's side. "Little Chuck and I didn't miss anything, did we?"
"I'm worried about something!" Čepes retracted his gaze from Lin Dong's back.
"You always overcomplicate things!" Captain Babu's ugly face smiled sinisterly.
"Babu, never doubt the wisdom of others. You're not the only smart person in this world! Compared to the real smart people, you're actually not even a fool! "Čepes snorted.
"So I don't think about anything. I'll act according to your plan." Captain Babu shrugged.
"Then let's go!" Čepes felt that after preparing for so long, it was time to take action.
The wooden shed area of the camp soon turned into a sea of fire.
The guards burned everything that could be burned.
Everything was set on fire.
Then, under Čepes's arrangement, they entered the second secret passage in an orderly manner.
It wasn't until the last guard entered the secret passage inside the camp master's stone house that Čepes turned around and entered the house. He triggered the hidden mechanism and jumped into the second secret passage when the secret door was about to close. In the sky, several Black Water Flying Dragons circled back. On the high wall, Valentine's figure appeared at the place where Lin Dong had defeated the enemy with a sword strike. He looked expressionlessly at the camp in front of him that was wreaking havoc in the sea of fire.
The second secret passage was very dry.
It was not the same as the underground secret passage he had imagined.
"These passages should have been rebuilt from the base!" Hairy Bear Zhao Daniu said confidently to Lin Dong after observing from a distance, "I suspect that there used to be a huge volcanic eruption or an earthquake here. The violent tremors caused many cracks to appear on the ground. Look, the rocks here have already cracked, and the distance between the cracks is more than 15 meters … In the past, this place should have been open air, but for some reason, it has been covered with soil again, leaving only a few narrow passages. Later generations modified these passages to form the second secret passage. In fact, the first secret passage and the second secret passage should be similar, but the direction of the cracks in the first secret passage is completely opposite to the second secret passage. "
"If this was caused by an earthquake, it must be a terrible earthquake!" Griffon couldn't imagine that such a huge passage was cracked by an earthquake.
It should be noted that except for a few narrow turns, most of the passages were more than 30 or 40 meters wide.
In some places, the distance between the cracks was more than 100 meters.
What kind of earthquake in the world could cause such an effect?
Enoko Kazama suddenly said something that seemed to be completely unimportant, "There are no rats in the passage!"
"Is it strange that there are no rats?" Big Ivan was stunned. "No rats means that people rarely come here. No people, no food, and naturally, no rats. Also, look, the dust here is very thick, which proves that people rarely come here, so it is reasonable that there are no rats in the passage! "
"No, it is not reasonable at all!" Fawkes objected. "As long as there's room for survival, rats can appear anywhere! It is very unusual that there are no rats in the passage, and not only are there no rats here, there are no other creatures, not even water! "
"You mean, we have walked into a 'dead place'?" Jonathan said thoughtfully.
"I don't know the situation of the first secret passage, but this second secret passage is definitely not simple! Here, I feel that my blood is boiling, and there are signs of it going out of control. This may not only be a dead place, but also a graveyard of blood power users! " As soon as Fox said this, Griffon and Don Quixote were shocked, because they also felt that their blood was going out of control, but it was not very obvious. They thought it was because of the nervousness of the escape, so they were too embarrassed to say it out. They didn't know that everyone was like this.
If a person's blood was boiling and showed signs of going out of control, it could be said that it was caused by nervousness.
But everyone who had blood power was like this.
It was definitely not normal.
Remiga hurriedly looked at Lin Dong, hoping that he had an idea, "Mr Wood, what should we do now?"
Lin Dong pondered for a moment, then said to Jonathan, "You go and ask Philip, Reynold, and Thomas, and then compare them to see how much your blood power has increased compared to before. I don't know about those who haven't undergone genetic surgery, but for those of you who have had genetic correction surgery, your blood power has increased by about three times, which is the current level of improvement, so there shouldn't be any danger to your lives. Even if your blood power continues to boil to about five times, your body functions won't go out of control because of this. You may feel a little uncomfortable, but your genes can still bear it and won't collapse. If it goes any higher, it's hard to say. I think the danger value is more than ten times, so you are still safe for now! "
Before Jonathan could go over, Philip and the others had already arrived.
They were also aware of the problem.
As soon as they entered the passage, Philip and the other team leaders discovered the phenomenon of blood power boiling. As they went deeper, the boiling became more and more intense. They couldn't come to a conclusion, so they hurriedly came to ask Lin Dong, who didn't know anything about blood power.
Perhaps, in their minds, Lin Dong was synonymous with omnipotence!
