Hyde and Noraba were in a much better state of mind. They were very worried about their companions. They were from the Tyrants, and both of them were outstanding experts. Perhaps the Octopus people wanted them to be living specimens for a while. Their Soul Seas were not seriously injured, and their other aspects were much better under Mu Zi and Napier's treatment. While Hyde and Noraba were recovering, Wang Zhong and Mu Zi went to explore the way. It was one thing to have an idea, but they had to verify it. If they didn't enter the city, it would be very difficult for the Octopus people to discover them. It was obvious that the Octopus people were even more vigilant, and Wang Zhong could faintly hear the screams of humans.
It seemed that the rescue mission could not be delayed. Even if the base wanted to rescue them, everyone would probably be dead by now.
Fortunately, the situation was similar to what Wang Zhong had expected. After putting on the clown mask, Wang Zhong found the entrance to the sewers. This kind of building was very similar to a certain period in the old era. The Octopus people were also very close to water, so they could definitely enter the city from the sewers. What was even more fortunate was that there were no strange monsters in the moat. They probably didn't expect humans to come here so quickly.
Another three days passed, and the four of them waited patiently until nightfall. The weather was indeed on their side. There was no moonlight tonight, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. It looked like there would be a heavy rain soon. This was the best time for their infiltration operation. Even the heavens were on their side, and Hyde and Noraba felt a little more confident.
Napier was left behind to guard the cave and made an agreement with him. If they didn't return within three days, he would have to retreat and report the situation to the base. Although Napier argued for a while, in the end, he had no choice but to accept the task of keeping watch. He just hoped that the four of them wouldn't force themselves. If any experts really appeared, they would escape immediately. Although it was important to save people, they had to remain calm.
As soon as the four of them set off, it began to drizzle. The flying griffins that were responsible for patrolling the surroundings of the castle lay dormant. Obviously, even well-trained flying creatures definitely did not like to travel on rainy nights. There were no more patrols in the air, and the sky was especially dark. The continuous raindrops covered the sky and the earth. This time, even Mu Zi's Life and Death aura could be spared. The four of them quickly approached the moat and followed the first position that Wang Zhong had identified previously. That was the middle section of the moat outside the south gate. They quietly dived into the water.
He had thought that it would take a while to find it, but as soon as he entered the water, he saw a huge waterway. It opened in the direction of the castle, and there was a huge, man-made waterway. He had found the right place. Everyone secretly rejoiced in their hearts. They held their breath and dived into the water cave. After walking for about twenty to thirty meters, they could feel the terrain of the water cave gradually rising. Finally, they emerged from a pool.
This pool was like a large bucket that was five to six meters deep. There were seven to eight circular waterways on the walls of the cave, from which sewage and various debris constantly flowed down. There were also ladders on the left and right sides of the cave wall, which should be used by the people who cleaned up the garbage. However, it seemed that the garbage hadn't been cleaned for a while. There was a foul stench in the surroundings, and all kinds of garbage were piled up like mountains. Some dirty sawtooth beasts could be seen scuttling in and out of the garbage. These scavengers were similar to the rats on Earth. They were not aggressive and extremely timid, so they were not considered dangerous. When they saw a few living people suddenly emerging from the pool, they were all shocked. They let out squeaking sounds and fled in panic, burrowing into the garbage pile and disappearing in an instant.
It was similar to what they had imagined. It seemed that sewers did not discriminate between races. As long as civilization needed to eat and drink, they were indispensable.
The ladders on both sides of the cave wall were connected to two small high platforms. There was a huge circular iron gate that was the normal entrance and exit. Obviously, they could not go there. Wang Zhong chose a circular waterway that faced the north and led everyone in.
Thanks to the Octopus people's slightly larger bodies, these waterways were built to accommodate the height of the Octopus people when they entered to clean up. Thus, they were built relatively wide. Other than the foul stench that was everywhere, it was not difficult to walk through. However, it was extremely long. After walking for dozens of meters, they could still see forks. From time to time, they could see holes or manhole covers above their heads. Along the way, Wang Zhong silently calculated the distance that he had swum through the water cave. Coupled with the distance in the waterway, he could roughly determine where he was. He estimated that they were near the prison that Hyde had marked. The four of them stopped, and Wang Zhong and Mu Zi used their divine senses to explore the manhole cover above their heads. They could sense that there were Octopus people constantly walking back and forth above them. Wang Zhong shook his head and continued to explore the nearby exits. Finally, he found a relatively quiet one.
Hua hua hua …
The manhole cover on the ground was slowly moved away, and a small bald head poked out from inside. It then made an OK gesture toward the bottom.
The manhole cover was moved away, and under the cover of Mu Zi's Life and Death aura, the four of them jumped out together. It was similar to the results of their exploration. They were surrounded by secluded streets and alleys. Through the low walls of the houses, they could see the city walls of the castle about seven or eight hundred meters to the east. There was a round tower on the side, and it was extremely conspicuous among the low houses around it. That was the location of the prison in Hyde's memory. It was only a thousand meters away from them.
After successfully sneaking in, Hyde and Noraba couldn't suppress the excitement on their faces. Although their physical injuries had not fully recovered, they felt that they were full of energy. The rain in the sky was getting heavier, which reduced the risk of being discovered by the horned hounds. As long as they entered, it would be easy. They put the manhole cover back in place and memorized this location. Mu Zi maintained the cover of his Life and Death aura, and the four of them slowly explored the location of the prison.
The Mizobudapi people didn't seem to like nightlife very much. Most of the houses in the city were dark, and it was obvious that they had fallen asleep in the middle of the night. Occasionally, they could see some patrolling guards wandering on the streets, but they were not Octopus people. They had humanoid figures, but they were more burly than the Octopus people. Their heads looked a bit like the heads of cows that had taken gunpowder, and they even had horns on their heads. The people in the base called them tauren.
The Octopus people were not the only intelligent race in the Mizobudapi World. Their intelligent races were quite rich, and their history was actually similar to that of humans. There were constant wars within the entire world, and various races fought for hegemony. In the end, the situation where the Octopus people ruled over the various races was formed. The taurens were just one of them. They had seen the Holy City Army on the day of the landing battle. It was a coalition army composed of at least a dozen intelligent races.
At this time, looking from inside the castle, it felt completely different from the outside. There were a large number of guards stationed on the distant city walls. They could see some strange weapons with muzzles. They were probably similar to the rune cannons used by humans, but their strange shapes were not restricted to the form of cannons. Although they didn't know how powerful they were, it was no wonder that the other party was not afraid. They probably didn't expect that humans would crawl into the sewers.
Wang Zhong and the others didn't have time to look around. Saving people was the most important thing. Some of the soldiers here were rather powerful, and there were many of them. Of course, they were most afraid of the Warlock Saint. They could only pray that the Warlock Saint was old and needed to sleep more at night.
The heavy rain in the sky made the horned hounds' noses useless. With the cover of Mu Zi's Life and Death aura, as well as the fact that they were cautious as they walked and stopped from time to time to observe their surroundings, their journey was more daunting than dangerous. The location of the prison was rather deep and winding. After passing through a few streets, they hadn't even seen the prison, but they first saw something that made everyone dumbfounded.
It was a notice posted on the wall by the street. A large string of densely packed words was written in the Mizobudapi language. Although they couldn't understand the Mizobudapi language, the portrait below the words was of Wang Zhong.
When the four of them, including Wang Zhong himself, saw this portrait, they couldn't help but be stunned. The portrait was extremely lifelike. Even the trace of arrogance between Wang Zhong's eyebrows could be seen on the paper. There was no need to understand the words. This was obviously not a eulogy for him. Based on Wang Zhong's previous experience of killing a Sword Saint, it was very likely that this was a wanted notice. The two armies were enemies, and everyone had to fight to the death. However, they had specially made a wanted notice for Wang Zhong in the city. How much hatred did they have? Was it because of that Sword Saint?
But this didn't make sense. Wang Zhong felt that it was a little unbelievable. Even if the Octopus people knew that Sword Saint Heinrich had been killed, how did they know that it was Wang Zhong? Back in the Black Boulder Energy Mine, none of the Octopus people had managed to escape. Furthermore, even if the Octopus people knew that the person who killed Heinrich was Wang Zhong, where did they get such a portrait from? This wasn't just because the painter had profound skills. To be able to draw such a lifelike portrait, one had to have a rather good understanding of Wang Zhong. However, other than Heinrich, who had been killed, no one from the Octopus people had seen Wang Zhong. This was really …
What the hell. Although Wang Zhong wasn't afraid of becoming famous, it wasn't a good thing to be so famous to his enemies. However, it was obviously not the time to think about this. The circular tower had appeared in front of everyone. It was the entrance to the prison.
There were four tauren guards standing guard in front of the tower, but all of them were yawning listlessly. One of them even hugged the spear in his arms and leaned on the spear while drooling. He had a sweet expression on his face. No one knew what good things he was dreaming of …
It seemed that the strict defense on the city wall had caused the guards in the city to slack off. There was no time to lose. Mu Zi's concealment of his aura was very effective. The taurens were rather easy to deceive. Although they were powerful, their insight was very weak. Furthermore, they were rather lazy and belonged to the class that was being ruled. The four of them slowly approached the prison. As they got closer and closer to the prison door, everyone became more and more anxious. This infiltration had been too smooth. Although they didn't discover anything abnormal, the closer they were to success, the more worried they were that there would be changes.
A terrifying deathly aura quietly approached the four taurens. Mu Zi estimated the strength of these four taurens and planned to kill them all at the same time. However, before the deathly aura could unleash its might, there was suddenly a scream from his side.
Screech!!
This sound was extremely sharp, and its decibels were definitely louder and clearer than the alarm of any human instrument. The tranquility of the Shadow Moon Fortress seemed to be torn apart in an instant, and the four minotaurs were suddenly jolted awake. At the same time, a dark claw had already grabbed Mu Zi's arm fiercely, and at the end of the dark claw was a pair of red eyes.
Red eyes, a dark body, and could even see through Mu Zi's invisibility. It was a ghost!
This was not a ghost in the human sense. It was also an intelligent race in the Mizobudapi World, but it was a half-energy body. Not only could it turn itself invisible, but it could also see through all invisibility or illusions of the same level. It was a minority in the Mizobudapi World. Due to its special ability, it relied on the Octopus people to survive.
From the relevant information at the base, it was only known that there were 'ghosts' in the Mizobudapi World. However, there were no specific parameters or data. It was obvious that this thing was not common in the Mizobudapi World. Wang Zhong didn't expect to encounter it.
The movements of this ghost were extremely fast. Mu Zi was preparing to kill the four tauren guards with all his might just now and was caught off guard. As a result, the ghost grabbed his wrist.
The red eyes on the ghost's face instantly turned even redder, as if it was excited. It fed on souls and energy, as well as the power of darkness and death. Once Wang Zhong's arm was grabbed by the ghost, there was no way he could escape. It was going to suck this baldy dry!
But in the next second, the excitement in the ghost's eyes turned into fear. It realized that not only was it going to suck Wang Zhong's energy and soul, but the moment its hand touched Wang Zhong's wrist, the ghost actually shivered. It was as if it had grabbed a tiger's butt, and it was so scared that it quickly withdrew its hand.
"Run!" The contact between the ghost and Mu Zi only lasted for one or two seconds. Wang Zhong also made a prompt decision and immediately retreated. Noraba and Hyde were obviously still unwilling to give up. The prison was right in front of them, and countless brothers who were waiting to be rescued were just a door away from them. Yet, they had to leave?
While the two of them were hesitating, the four tauren guards on the opposite side had already rushed over angrily. Each of their faces was red, and they were howling. They didn't even notice that a group of weak and stupid humans had gotten close to them. This was definitely a humiliation for the great taurens!
Bull Demon Charge! They roared and lowered their heads. Their horns pointed forward, and their bodies rushed forward. Every step under their feet caused the ground to tremble slightly. The speed of their charge was like four cannonballs, and their subconscious reaction was extremely fast. They wanted to kill these lowly intruders.
Wang Zhong and Mu Zi only dodged slightly, while Noraba and Hyde had to dodge in a sorry state. These taurens were too strong and fast.
Rumble ~ ~
The four rushing figures lost their target, and they instantly crashed into most of the houses in front of them. When they turned around, there was no trace of their enemies.
Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!
A sharp alarm sounded in the city, and a large number of gryphon legions whizzed past in the sky. The streets were soon filled with all kinds of footsteps, and tauren guards formed phalanxes to block the way.
