Dean and Gwyneth curled up into a ball and squatted in a small pit.
Glenn stretched out her hand and poked the soil. She wanted to create a small passage for Dean so that he could observe the outside and breathe at the same time.
Dean felt the movement and quickly grabbed her hand. At the same time, he controlled his heartbeat to beat at a very low frequency. His breathing was completely controlled. He was like a stone sculpture.
Glenn and Gwyneth were shocked as they felt Dean's abnormality. Both of them weren't rookies so they immediately followed suit. They squatted in the soil and didn't move. It was as if they were one with the soil.
Dean's head was up and his eyes were closed to prevent the sand from falling into his eye sockets. Although his eyes were closed, but he could still see everything outside! This was a method that he had mastered after advancing to senior hunter. It was to close his eyes to see through things!
His eyelids couldn't block his observation. He saw a faint red light like a firefly floating in the distance. The speed was not fast. As the distance got closer, the intensity of the red light became brighter and brighter. When it came to the giant wall about two or three kilometers in front of him, Dean felt like a huge human lantern was coming. The whole body was blazing hot, like a burning man!
Dean was shocked. His brain quickly diluted his emotions so as not to cause any changes in his body. He instinctively felt like he was being stared at by a beast. He had never seen such exuberant physical heat before. Glenn and Gwyneth's heat was like a firefly compared to the starlight! This heat was much stronger than his own!!
Although heat couldn't absolutely represent the physique, but in most cases it wouldn't be wrong to judge based on heat. Only a few of them were related to magic marks.
The exuberant figure came to the top of the giant wall next to Dean and the others. It seemed that it was looking around. After a few minutes, it went straight to the inner wall.
After more than ten minutes, the figure returned along the direction of the inner wall. Its speed wasn't fast. It seemed that it was taking a casual stroll.
The figure didn't stop after passing over the heads of Dean and Gwyneth. It went further and further in Dean's line of sight until the figure was like a tiny spark. It was faintly extinguished by the black tide.
Dean was about to sigh in relief when he saw the weak heat figure stop. It didn't go far nor return.
Was it resting in the same place? Dean wanted to slightly replace the oxygen in his lungs. Suddenly his eyelids twitched as he thought of a possibility. His pores shrank as he sealed his breath.
Seven or eight minutes passed.
The weak heat figure suddenly moved like a falling meteorite. It rapidly expanded towards the direction of Dean and others at an astonishing speed.
Dean's heart jumped.
Whoosh!
The figure came to the top of Dean and the others. It didn't stop for hundreds of meters before it stopped. It looked around the giant wall for a moment, but found nothing. It paused for a moment, and then slowly returned along the original road until the figure completely disappeared from Dean's sight. Even the slightest heat couldn't be seen.
Dean's dizzy brain relaxed as he saw this. He drilled out of the soil and gasped for fresh air. He looked at Gwyneth and Glenn: "Gwyneth, you know the inner wall better than us. You lead the way. Glenn, you return the pit back to its original state."
Glenn asked keenly while filling in the soil, "Did someone just pass over our heads? I felt a terrible panic."
Dean nodded: "It was a very strong person. He was stronger than all of us combined. He should be far stronger than a senior hunter!" He looked at Gwyneth: "You are a disciplinary officer in the inner wall. Do you know what is above a senior hunter?"
Gwyneth looked at him and whispered: "I have been studying in the disciplinary institute, so I don't know much about them. I heard that they are called 'Limitless Beings'. They are very strong. They are as terrible as our 'Keeper of Order'. They are all monsters!"
"Limitless?" Dean and Glenn's eyes narrowed as they secretly remembered the name.
"Come with me." Gwyneth said as she led the way.
Dean and Glenn immediately followed her.
"There is something in the grass about two hundred meters in the direction of three o 'clock. It should be a beast. I smell blood." Glenn whispered.
"I can feel it." Gwyneth whispered: "It's not a beast but a monster. The inner wall is different from the outer wall. Although it occupies 80% of the area of the giant wall but the total population is only half of the outer wall. 70% of the area is wilderness. There are many monsters. The nobles of the inner wall live in the central area and never go out."
"Monsters?" Glenn was surprised.
Dean was startled as he heard Gwyneth's words. In his impression, the inner wall occupied most of the soil and quality resources. It should be a hundred times more prosperous than the outer wall. The history of the aristocratic families in the outer wall was on the surface. Their ancestors were from the inner wall but were later expelled for some reason. It made him subconsciously think that the inner wall was overcrowded and the expelled aristocrats were the ones who were eliminated.
He didn't expect the opposite to happen.
The population of the inner wall wasn't full. On the contrary, it was extremely scarce. The vast soil was abandoned. There were no civilians to plant and cultivate.
It was no wonder that all he saw around him was wilderness.
"The Monastery is a very strong force in the inner wall. It is equivalent to the Holy Church in the outer wall." Gwyneth whispered: "Besides the magistrate, there are also aristocratic forces and the devil's army of the ruler of the giant wall. There are also the devil families!"
"The 'disciplinary institute' that I mentioned before is another institution under the magistrate. It is the place where we train our disciplinary officers."
There was a trace of gratification in Dean's eyes as he saw that Gwyneth didn't respond to his request. Gwyneth's identity as a member of the inner wall was important to him when he bailed her out. He knew that once he could tame Gwyneth then he would be able to understand the general face of the inner wall through her.
When one knew nothing, it was also the time when one's heart was filled with fear.
It was only a matter of time before he would set foot in the inner wall. Gwyneth was an intelligence agent that he had prepared in advance.
After the appearance of the Saint today, he wanted to ask Gwyneth, but he held back because he could see that although this girl followed him, she didn't really surrender to him. In such a dangerous situation, she didn't take the initiative to help him, so it was useless to force her. Even if he used force, it would be futile. Instead, it would backfire.
After all, Gwyneth's body was pierced with steel nails. She was in pain every night. She had suffered inhuman torture in Thorn Flower Prison!
Thorn Flower Prison had spent a few years to tame her. Her bones were hard and her temper was stubborn!
He was glad that he didn't use hard means but soft means.
Gwyneth was willing to take the initiative to talk to him. Although he wasn't clear whether she had surrendered to him but at least he knew that she didn't have a strong aversion to him.
"So the inner wall is controlled by five major forces?" Dean asked in a low voice.
Gwyneth nodded: "Yes. Although there are five major forces on the surface but there are factional frictions in each force. The aristocratic forces can be subdivided into many pieces."
"I understand." Dean had some experience in politics after the tempering of the outer wall: "Is there no dark church in the inner wall?"
Gwyneth didn't even turn her head. Her tone was a bit indifferent: "No, but there is something more abominable than the dark church. In other words, the evil here is a hundred times more abominable than the evil of the dark church that you know!"
