In the explosion of the virtual image of Heavens-devouring Boa, Zhang Tie got free in a split second …
The moment he got free, Zhang Tie's Thor's Hammer had recovered its freedom. Closely after that, Zhang Tie summoned out two silver secret longswords from Castle of Black Iron and prepared to give Gao Tianzhao a heavy blow. However, what he saw made Zhang Tie stop at once.
It was a hidden mountain cave. The dark red magma pool illuminated the entire mountain cave. The entire mountain cave was enclosed. This was a closed space. Only the magma pool could lead to the outside. There were some scattered magma on the ground near the ground of the mountain cave. Given the current situation, Gao Tianzhao's Heavens-devouring Boa should have entered this place through the magma pool. Zhang Tie wondered how Gao Tianzhao found this place. If he hid in this place, he would not be afraid of being found by others. Because it was either a magma river or a magma lake outside the magma pool. It was as easy as fishing for a needle in a haystack to find such a hidden space underground.
Due to the magma pool, the temperature in the mountain cave was about 50-60 degrees Celsius. Being suffocating, the air in the mountain cave also looked thin. Commoners could barely survive and stay in such a place for a long time; however, it was just a piece of cake for knights; especially shadow knights and earth knights.
At this moment, Gao Tianzhao was lying on the ground naked and charred all over. His skin was still smoking like a roast duck which had jumped out of the stove after being thrown into it. Crouching on the ground, he showed the whites of his eyes and spurted out black blood while twitching from time to time.
At the sight of Gao Tianzhao's look, Zhang Tie was startled. If not fighting Gao Tianzhao all the way here, Zhang Tie would not believe that this guy who looked more miserable than a beggar was Gao Tianzhao.
'Did this guy die so soon? He has a complete water chakra. If he lost it, it would be a great loss for me.'
Zhang Tie hurriedly put away the Thor's Hammer and the two silver secret items. Closely after that, he walked over there and squatted down with vigilance as he started to check it carefully.
Thankfully, Gao Tianzhao was still alive and his chakra didn't seem to collapse. However, Gao Tianzhao didn't have the ability to fight for the time being, which made Zhang Tie reassured.
Watching Gao Tianzhao who looked like a featherless chicken, Zhang Tie directly poured some all-purpose medicament into Gao Tianzhao's stomach so as to prevent his wound from worsening. Closely after that, he teleported Gao Tianzhao into Castle of Black Iron like picking up trash. After that, Zhang Tie picked himself up …
Right then, Zhang Tie's remote-sensing crystal finger ring started to rock stealthily. Zhang Tie found it was a message from Blackwater Base …
— — No.136, the masters of the Blackwater Base have arrived at the Helan Mountain area and are searching the area you sent. How are you doing? Do you need help? Please reply when you receive this letter …
When Zhang Tie was thinking about how to reply this message, he received another message a few seconds later.
— — No.136, the powerhouses of the Blackwater Base have arrived at the Helan Mountain area and are searching the area you sent. How are you doing? Do you need help? Please reply when you receive this letter …
After a few seconds, he received the same message again.
Although he was not in Blackwater Base, Zhang Tie seemed to sense the anxious look of the Hua military officer who passed the message over there.
When Zhang Tie was in the abdomen of the Heavens Devouring Boa, he didn't know how long had Blackwater Base been contacting him. As for Blackwater Base, his life might be in danger.
The moment Zhang Tie wanted to reply to the Blackwater Base, he became hesitant at once. 'There might be something wrong with Blackwater Base. The news that I have a thunder hawk might be passed to demons and Heavens Reaching Church from Blackwater Base. It means that there might be moles of Heavens Reaching Church or demons lurking in Blackwater Base. If someone was watching me, he might not be the only one who saw me leaving the base. Ye Qingcheng was watching me with the ability of a heavenly knight. Therefore, Zhang Tie could sense it at that time. If someone was watching me in a room or on the ground nearby Blackwater Base through a telescope, Zhang Tie might have neglected it. Because there were indeed many air observation posts on the ground nearby Blackwater Base.'
When Zhang Tie received that message from his remote-sensing finger ring again, he considered it for a second before replying.
— — I'm still alive. I've brought enough medicaments and materials. However, I need to recover my wounds. I'm in a hidden place. I'm afraid that I can't carry out any reconnaissance task in a short period.
The message between Zhang Tie and Blackwater Base was transmitted by an independent, special code. Besides Zhang Tie, even if others received Zhang Tie's remote-sensing finger ring, they could not transmit the message to Blackwater Base in the correct way. Of course, they could not interpret the message from Blackwater Base. Now that Blackwater Base could receive the correct message from Zhang Tie, it indicated that Zhang Tie was still alive.
After receiving Zhang Tie's message, Blackwater Base paused for half a minute. Closely after that, it sent another message.
— — How long do you need to recover your wounds?
— — 1-2 months!
Zhang Tie dared not make it too short. An earth knight was ambushed by a shadow knight and 8 demon knights in the underground space. The difference in battle strength was more than 10 times. In such a case, Zhang Tie was almost killed. If not having so many trump cards, he might have been killed. If he could recover his wounds in 3-5 days, the others would think that Gao Tianzhao and the demon knights were playing tricks on him.
Actually, it was already amazing for a knight to recover his wounds in 1-2 months after fighting a high-level knight. At least, it indicated that Zhang Tie was not completely passive facing the ambush of a shadow knight in a desperate situation. This proved his battle strength and matched Qianji Hermit's great battle strength.
— — Fine, after recovering your wounds, please contact Blackwater Base. Over!
— — Received, over!
After the communication, Zhang Tie didn't tell them where he was going to enter secluded cultivation. Blackwater Base also didn't ask him about this. Zhang Tie knew that Blackwater Base had already noticed the feedback of his last message.
After contacting Blackwater Base, Zhang Tie sent another message to Bai Suxian and Mountain Lifting Hermit. After that, he looked around the underground environment before rubbing his hands excitedly and entering Castle of Black Iron.
If those people in Blackwater Base knew that Zhang Tie had killed Gao Tianzhao and those demon knights in one go, the entire Blackwater Base might be in an uproar.
…
"Number 136's final reply: Received, over!"
In a safe communication room in the command center of Blackwater Base, a female Hua military officer with short hair put her hands on a small pyramid-shaped remote-sensing communication device on the table in front of her. After receiving Zhang Tie's last message, she directly turned around and reported it to some people behind her.
Ye Qingcheng and two knights in Blackwater Base were standing behind this female military officer who was responsible for contacting Zhang Tie. After receiving Zhang Tie's last message, they all let out a sigh.
As Ye Qingcheng listened to it, he slightly frowned, "How's the situation in Helan Mountain Range?"
"Commander Zhao has already sent me a message. We've already found many corpses of scouts and sentry posts in the maple woods that Zhang Tie reported. Additionally, we've discovered the battle traces of knights in that underground tunnel. The entire underground tunnel has been collapsed. The battle is very fierce. The destructive force is at least left by a shadow knight. Additionally, we've discovered the qi of over 5 demon knights in the tunnel. However, those demon knights and Gao Tianzhao have already disappeared. It's hard to trace them." A knight on Ye Qingcheng's side said mildly.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem In this room, Ye Qingcheng talked with the knight on his side using battle qi. Even the female commissioned officer who was responsible for remote-sensing communication didn't know that No. 136 was Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie's code name in Blackwater Base was also confidential. Commoners couldn't know it. This was a confidential measure of the army of Taixia Country. All these measures had been tested in the two holy wars.
"At least?" Ye Qingcheng turned around at a stroke as his tone turned a bit harsher. He was very dissatisfied with this vague adjective.
"Yes, besides the battle traces of powerful knights, there were also a lot of alchemist's bombs in the underground tunnel. The two regions overlapped with each other and caused great damages to the underground tunnel. Therefore, it's hard to judge the highest battle strength of those knights. However, it's at least a shadow knight's battle strength!"
"Alchemist's bomb!" After hearing this word, Ye Qingcheng became faintly stunned. Closely after that, he became relieved, "It's not difficult for Zhang Tie to acquire alchemist's bombs!"
"Jinwu Business Group has started to hoard alchemist's bombs a few years ago. In an emergency, Zhang Tie might escape away from Gao Tianzhao's fatal trap with his portable alchemist's bombs. Qianji Hermit must have some preventive measures!"
"I will leave the following things to you. Before Blackwater Base moves for Helan Mountain Range, I want to know who else saw Zhang Tie leaving by thunder hawk …" Ye Qingcheng's voice sounded a bit killing qi as he added, "Now that he's exposed, catch him …"
"I see!" The gentle knight replied as a shrewd light flashed across his eyes.
In recent weeks, the vanguard of demons had been attacking and penetrating very fast in Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province. As a result, more and more demon knights appeared in Helan Mountain Range and Weishui River. After the 11 human advanced bases finished gathering forces and stabilizing the rear defense line of Peacewest Military Region, in order to ensure that Wuzhou Province, Zhuzhou Province and Yinzhou Province would not be completely isolated by the vanguard of demons and suffer greater losses, the 11 human advanced bases were preparing to push the defense line of Taixia advanced bases to Helan Mountain Range and Weishui River …
