CHAPTER 2658 - CHAPTER 2658
The Hunt Begins
Ye Xuan had indeed changed his mind and decided not to leave for the time being.
The reason for this decision was not entirely to take the green-bearded old man Lu Wenxuan with him, but more for himself.
But the old man's words did remind Ye Xuan, otherwise he may not have made the decision he did now.
The old man sighed, saying that Ye Xuan was only a warden of the Ten Thousand Nets, not the leader of the entire Black Mosquito Bastion. So whether it was opening the main passage below the Ten Thousand Nets, or clearing out the strange black fog that pervaded the interior of the Black Mosquito Bastion, he couldn't do either!
It was these words that made Ye Xuan's heart jump. An extremely bold, extremely dangerous plan appeared in his mind, but if it succeeded, the rewards would be unimaginable!
Just like how he replaced the warden in the Black Tower, he would find a way to get rid of the captive leader, Naiboshan. Then he would replace him and take the entire Black Mosquito Bastion for himself!
When this thought popped up in his mind, even Ye Xuan himself was shocked. However, after calmly deducing and pondering, Ye Xuan finally clenched his teeth and made a decision. In his opinion, although this matter was extremely dangerous, it wasn't completely impossible.
He even thought that the chances of success were at least forty to fifty percent. So it was worth a try. After all, if he succeeded, the benefits he would reap would be unimaginable. The temptation was too great!
As Ye Xuan's feet planted firmly on the ground and he stepped out of the black light, a large open square appeared in front of him.
The square was a regular square, with sides several kilometers long. This alone was more than the diameter of the Black Mosquito Bastion. This indicated that the second layer of space he was in was also constructed using space-folding technology. In other words, Ye Xuan could not directly teleport away and return to the void outside.
He was now standing in the center of the square. When he turned around, three enormous portals appeared behind him, each one like a hundred-meter-long memorial arch.
On the other hand, the one that Ye Xuan had just walked out of was at the edge of the spatial door. It was the same as the spatial door on the other side. On the other hand, the spatial door in the middle was clearly different. The Yin runes on the pillars and beams were even more ancient and complicated!
After a moment's thought, Ye Xuan roughly guessed where the other two portals led.
Of the two on the outside, one led to the lower Ten Thousand Nets, and the other led directly to the void outside of the Bastion. In other words, the portal on the other side was the escape route!
However, Ye Xuan didn't plan on trying it out so easily. On one hand, he'd already decided not to leave for the time being, and on the other hand, it was because he wasn't sure if the rune imprint he obtained from the Black Tower's demon core could also open the spatial door that led to the outside of the fortress.
If he couldn't, then it would truly be troublesome if he alarmed some existences that he was unable to deal with right now.
Even if he wanted to leave, he had to make some inquiries. He had to figure this out before making any plans.
As for the portal in the middle, which was more ancient and complex, according to Ye Xuan's estimation, it led to the third layer of the Black Mosquito Bastion above. If that was the case, then Ye Xuan could not touch this portal. At least not now!
After examining the three portals in a row, Ye Xuan found the key points to distinguish the other two portals. After memorizing them, he chose a direction at random and stepped forward.
Apart from the three portals, there was nothing else in the large square. It was completely empty.
But at the edges of the square, there was a straight and extremely wide passageway, several hundred meters long. None of them had an end in sight.
Judging from the width of these four passageways, there must be other forked passageways in the middle that extended out one by one.
If that was the case, then the second layer of the Black Mosquito Bastion was actually a labyrinth-like area divided by a large number of crisscrossing straight passageways. The center of the entire labyrinth should be the large square where Ye Xuan was now!
As for the living quarters of those demon scouts, there was no doubt that they should be on the left and right sides of the crisscrossing passageways in the labyrinth.
In such a vast and huge labyrinth, there were countless passageways of different sizes. On the left and right sides of each passageway, there could be a secluded cave dwelling. In this way, it was not a problem for the entire second layer of the Black Mosquito Bastion to accommodate more than ten thousand demon scouts.
A few minutes later, Ye Xuan left the central square where the portals were and entered the main passageway on the right side of the square. After walking for a few miles, another straight passageway appeared on the left and right. These two level two passageways were obviously much narrower, but they were still about two hundred meters wide.
Ye Xuan continued to walk forward until the sixth pair of level two passageways appeared. He then turned around and walked to the right.
It was the same for the level two passageways. Every two kilometers, there would be two level three passageways with a width of about a hundred meters.
In the previous Level 1 and Level 2 passageways, there were only crossroads. After reaching the Level 3 passageway that was a hundred meters wide, although there were still two narrower Level 4 passageways appearing not far away, along the way, there were already no less than the number of secluded Cave Mansions on both sides of the passageway.
None of the cave dwellings had doors. They were just huge arched entrances on the walls of the passageways. The space inside should be very wide and seemed to be divided into small compartments.
Ye Xuan did not stop there. Instead, he turned around and left at the entrance of a level four passageway that was about fifty meters wide.
There were clearly more cave dwellings on both sides of the level four passageway. The arched entrances were densely packed and would appear every thirty to forty meters. Ye Xuan randomly picked a cave dwelling and walked in with a calm expression.
Along the way, Ye Xuan would occasionally see a few demon experts when he passed by some cave dwellings. They also saw him, but none of them noticed anything wrong. They all treated Ye Xuan as one of their own. Therefore, he did not need to be nervous at all. There were more than ten thousand demon scouts in the entire Black Mosquito Ship. They were all in a hurry, so who could recognize each other?
The reason why he chose this cave abode was actually very simple. This cave abode had the least number of demons he had encountered in the entire Class 4 passageway.
There were only six demon experts, and their cultivation was not very high. They were all between the first and second levels of the Core Realm. Ye Xuan was very confident that he could kill them instantly when they reacted.
