"It's amazing." Napier sighed with emotion. Although he had seen it many times in the past two days, he had only seen other creatures ignore him when he stayed in the death aura with Mu Zi. Now that he was experiencing it himself, it was really strange.
It was quiet in front of him, and Napier kept staring with his eyes wide open. Anyway, he knew that he couldn't see Mu Zi's movements clearly, so he just used the Night Vision Telescope to stare at Hyde and Noraba, who were tied up there. Roughly seven to eight minutes later, Noriba, who was tied to a metal pillar, suddenly opened his eyes, a slightly astonished expression appearing on his face. In the next instant, the astonishment on his face turned into pleasant surprise. Although he was already on the verge of death, he still appeared rather excited as he nodded his head. Then, Noraba disappeared from the iron pillar, and the 'iron pillar' that was tied to him seemed to shake slightly. Then, the dummy that Napier had carefully made replaced Noraba and appeared on the iron pillar.
"It's done!" Napier was also quite excited. As expected of a god. He could actually do such an incredible thing.
Beside him, Wang Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief. His trip was worth it after saving Noraba. To be honest, the three of them didn't expect the Shadow Moon Fortress to be so heavily guarded. It wasn't easy to sneak into this fortress. If they could get some information about the situation in the fortress from Noraba and Hyde, as well as the situation of the captives, that would be the most realistic way.
After saving the first one, the second one was even easier. Mu Zi was obviously more familiar with the sensitivity, smell, and so on of the Giant Abyss Mouth. Previously, when he saved Noraba, the 'iron pillar' shook slightly, as if it had sensed something. But when he saved Hyde, it was completely silent.
Napier was still staring closely through the Night Vision Telescope, checking the movements on the surrounding walls when a voice sounded in his ear. "Let's go!"
Obviously, it wasn't a good place to talk outside the fortress. When Mu Zi's voice sounded, the aura of life and death had already enveloped Wang Zhong and Napier at the same time. The two of them understood and got up.
Although the wilderness was flat, there were still many small hills and other places. In the area that they had just come out of the swamp, there was also a forest and a huge mountain that stretched to the other side. Everyone had already observed the terrain when they came out of the swamp. At this time, they retreated into the mountain forest outside the swamp and found a hidden cave to hide in. It was still calm outside, and the Shadow Moon Fortress obviously hadn't found out that the bait had been switched.
Wang Zhong and Mu Zi put down Hyde and Noraba, who were each carrying on their backs. The two of them were already on the verge of death when they were tied up, and they only regained their consciousness when Mu Zi woke them up. At this time, they were on the verge of fainting after being carried on their back for such a bumpy journey. Fortunately, they were still very weak and not dead yet.
The various wounds on their bodies didn't seem obvious from afar, but at this moment, they looked shocking. Their lips were completely cracked, and their bodies were severely dehydrated. It was obvious that the two of them had been tied up for a long time. Many parts of their bodies were cracked by the whip, and even their bones could be seen. Their Soul Power aura was very weak, and their internal organs were also a mess. Obviously, in addition to external injuries, they had many other injuries. Weakness, internal injuries, and external injuries were not caused by being beaten up.
Napier took out various medicines from the space crystal. Thanks to the loot from the One-eyed Dragon's exploration team yesterday, the three of them really did not lack these things now. After applying a few special medicines to their wounds, he poured two energy tubes into their mouths. Wang Zhong used his Soul Power to nourish them slightly and guided their Soul Seas to circulate. After waiting for about ten minutes, the two of them finally woke up.
"Wang — Wang Zhong!" Noraba was a little excited. The experience of being held captive over the past few days was simply beyond their imagination. Death was an extravagant hope for them. The Blue Ray Squadron was the last batch to rescue them. Based on Noraba's estimation of the situation in the Exploration Team Department, he didn't expect any exploration teams there to be willing to accept missions to rescue them. Their only hope was that the Vasilyevich Family would send their own experts to rescue them after Vladimir's disappearance. However, the possibility of that happening was very slim. The Vasilyevich Family had stood on the side of the 10 Great Families who 'did not do anything' in this Holy Battle. Their family did not send any Heavenly Soul experts to participate in this Holy Battle at all. Noraba and Vladimir no longer had any hope, but they didn't expect to see Wang Zhong.
"You're too kind …" Noraba's voice was still very weak. He only said a few words, and his emotions were slightly agitated, causing him to feel a little dizzy.
"Thank you." Hyde, on the other hand, seemed to be much calmer. He only said two words, but they felt as if they weighed a thousand pounds as he spoke slowly.
"What happened? Why were you guys tied up there? "
Hyde and Noraba looked at each other, and their originally pale faces became even paler. It was obvious that they had recalled some terrifying memories. Then, they heaved a long sigh.
"The Octopus people are too abnormal!" Noraba used all his strength to say this. "How are they natives who don't know anything? They are using our people as live experiments! "
"They are eager to grasp all the information about humans and understand the adaptability and tolerance of humans to various environments, climates, and poisons. They experimented with high temperatures, low temperatures, and poisons. They directly poisoned us and locked us in a room to soak us in poison. In order to understand the Soul Sea and cultivation methods of humans, they used various methods to stimulate our Soul Sea. We watched as a few of our brothers exploded and died. They also wanted to understand the structure of the human body and the structure of living bodies. Many of our brothers were dissected alive on the operating table by them! "
Noraba gritted his teeth as he spoke, and his lips trembled slightly. He tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. As a member of the Vasilyevich family, Noraba could be considered a tough guy. The living environment in the northern area of the Earth Federation was extremely terrible. What kind of cruelty had he not seen? But in just a few days, Noraba's worldview had been overturned. He felt that the cruel mutated creatures in the northern area that could stop children from crying at night were simply simple and cute Spongebob Squarepants compared to the Octopus people.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Octopus people, they were no different from food. This was the price of war. Although they were prepared, they would only know when they really faced it. Furthermore, the Octopus people were definitely prepared. They were simply waiting for the Holy Land to come.
The atmosphere in the cave seemed a little heavy. Wang Zhong furrowed his brows. He knew the cruelty of war. Death was not scary, and he did not feel that it was the sorrow of a soldier. However, if they were killed in such a way, it would really be …
After speaking for a while, Noraba seemed to be unable to continue. The cave was quiet for a few minutes. After a long time, Hyde asked, "Wang Zhong, are you just the vanguard? How many people did you bring this time? I still have many compatriots inside. "
"And Vladimir." Noraba also recovered a little in an instant and looked at Wang Zhong expectantly.
"Just the three of us."
"Three …" Hyde was stunned.
They were able to rescue the two of them because of the special circumstances. Hyde, who had been trapped inside for more than half a month, was very clear about how tight the defense of the Shadow Moon Fortress was and how strong its forces were. There was no way for the three of them to rescue them. In fact, when they walked into the cave and did not see anyone else, Hyde had already realized something. However, he still had a glimmer of hope that the military would send troops to rescue them, or that several major exploration teams would join forces to rescue them. Wang Zhong and the other two were just the vanguard, but now …
There were more than 100 people who had been captured alive in the Shadow Moon Fortress. In addition to the 60 to 70 people from the Explorers at the beginning, there were also five exploration teams that had fallen into the Shadow Moon Fortress. Besides the dimensional human brothers who were related to Hyde, even the captives from other exploration teams had joined the Holy Battle with passion in their hearts. Furthermore, they had been captured in order to save them. Many of them had been tortured to death, but there were still at least 70 to 80 people who had survived.
"Brother Wang Zhong, there's a Warlock Saint here. It's impossible for us to rescue them with just the few of us." Hyde took a deep breath and grabbed Wang Zhong's arm. "Please go back and get reinforcements. Don't send ordinary exploration teams here. There's a Warlock Saint here. No matter how many people come, they will just be sending themselves to their deaths! It's best if the military sends troops or powerful Great Teachers help! "
The three of them looked at each other. A Warlock Saint … This was big news. No wonder it was useless no matter how many people came. The power of a Warlock Saint was even more terrifying than that of a Sword Saint or a Great Teacher.
"What about you?"
"I'll stay here and monitor! Firstly, to prevent them from suddenly transferring the captives. Secondly … "He gestured to his body. Needless to say, with his current physical condition, it was impossible for him to follow Wang Zhong and the others back to the base at high speed. He would only be a burden.
"I'm not leaving either." Noriba also understood this point. "Vladimir is still around, and I can't abandon him. Dammit! Fortunately, that brat Pomo isn't feeling well, and didn't come this time. If not, Vasilyevich's roots would be gone. Heh heh, don't be afraid, there's still someone alive!"
There's still someone alive! "Napier, who was at the side, couldn't help but interrupt." I'm afraid that we won't be able to get reinforcements even if we go back. You guys don't know the current situation at the Exploration Team Department. All the exploration teams have been arguing about your matter, but the higher-ups are still holding back. They even sent us here to scout for information. There are no follow-up arrangements or plans for the rescue at all. Even if we go back to get reinforcements, it will be useless. "
Noraba sighed. The Blue Ray Squadron was the last to arrive, and they were the clearest about the intentions of the Exploration Team Department and the military. If they really wanted to rescue the captives, they would have taken action long ago. Several exploration teams had already fallen into the trap, but they were still issuing missions in the form of exploration teams. The war in the north had gradually entered a stalemate, and the recent reinforcements were all on the southern battlefield. The base in the north would not have extra troops to do such a thing, let alone Great Teachers. Before the Blue Ray Squadron set off, a Great Teacher on the southern battlefield had fallen into the enemy's ambush and fallen into the trap. Now, everyone was extremely cautious. It was impossible for a Great Teacher to take the risk to save a few dozen people.
However, Hyde said, "I know that the base generally won't change their strategic deployment for the sake of a few dozen people, and not many Great Teachers will be willing to take the risk and travel here. However, the situation in the Shadow Moon Fortress is special. If Brother Wang Zhong can explain it, the military will definitely consider this point when deciding whether to rescue the captives!"
Beside him, Noraba nodded vigorously. Napier also touched his chin, as if he was considering the possibility of persuading the military with these words.
Hyde looked at Wang Zhong. These words could only fool the simple-minded Noraba. The possibility of persuading the military to change their strategy was very low, but they still had to try! Moreover, Hyde could see some wisdom in Wang Zhong's eyes. Back then, he was such an inconspicuous person in the Tyrants, yet he was able to make it to where he was today. He was able to shine in the Holy Disciple Challenge and kill a Sword Saint. Regardless of whether he was lucky or not, at least Hyde believed that such a person must have extraordinary wisdom. He would be able to organize his words well and go to the base to fight for that one percent chance for everyone. This was also the only way.
However, Wang Zhong shook his head. "It will take at least three or four days to get back to the base. Even if the base is willing to send troops, it will obviously take more than a few small teams to deal with such a tough problem. It will take at least one or two days to prepare for it, and they might even need to transfer manpower from other stations. Not to mention, the speed of the army's advance will be even slower … Are you sure that the people left in the fortress can survive for so long? Moreover, the Black Boulder Outpost is still within the sphere of influence of the Mizobudapi people. It is hundreds of miles away from here. A small team like ours might be able to hide our tracks, but what about the army? I'm afraid that by the time the military arrives, the Shadow Moon Fortress will have already been evacuated. "
With every sentence Wang Zhong said, Hyde's heart sank. "If we ask a Great Teacher to help …"
