Zhang Tie found that he could only see more than 10 m in front of him. Any further and it would be blurred. At this moment, Zhang Tie finally understood what it meant to be short-sighted. Compared to his slow vision, his sense of smell and hearing had become sharper. He could easily distinguish various smells and become sensitive to distant sounds. Additionally, Zhang Tie could feel that his teeth were very sharp and that he could crawl very well. He seemed to have understood the language and methods of communication between mice.
After running around his original body for a short while, Zhang Tie glanced at his own body from head to toe as he felt pretty novel. After adapting to this incarnation of a rat, he drilled out of the door of the cell and ran towards the outside of the torture chamber.
The doors of the cell and the torture chamber were both composed of arm-thick steel bars. The gaps on the doors were very small, which could only allow a fist to pass through. However, the gaps were still too large for Zhang Tie's incarnation of a rat.
When Zhang Tie passed through the gaps on the steel bars, he raised his head and felt like passing through the portal of a tall giant.
After passing through two doors, Zhang Tie soon came to the aisle outside the torture chamber.
To be honest, it was Zhang Tie's first time to leave the "VIP suite" which he enjoyed exclusively these days.
This seemed to be a castle. The light outside the walkway was a little dim, and the walls on both sides were made of greyish-brown rocks. On both sides of this five to six meters long walkway, there was only a dim oil lamp hanging on one of the walls, giving off a misty light. There was a corner in front of the walkway. There seemed to be a room beside the corner. It was a bit brighter there. Zhang Tie could smell the smell of liquor and meat from far away. He even heard two people eating and drinking.
Zhang Tie ran towards the corner of the aisle while sticking to the wall which was very high for him as a rat. When he came to the corner, he stealthily stretched out his head to take a look.
There were two people sitting at a table seven or eight meters away. They were eating and drinking. Zhang Tie knew both of them. They were the lackeys of Senel Clan and the jailers here. In the past two days, the two guys had cooperated with Navas and made him suffer a lot.
Zhang Tie looked around the room as he caught sight of a table, two stools and a key hook on the wall. Besides the key groove, two hats and two waistbands were hanging on the side of the key groove.
Combined with the sounds he had just heard … Although Zhang Tie could not see the situation on the table due to the angle of view, he was sure that the keys should be on the table.
Zhang Tie waited patiently and quietly until 20 minutes later. One of the guys who was eating and drinking finally burped and staggered up from the table. "Jeff, you stay here for the first half of the night. I'll go back to my room to take a rest. Come and wake me up in the second half of the night. Also, go to the kitchen to make supper …"
"Don't sleep like a dead pig like you did yesterday. No matter how I call you, you won't wake up!"
"Don't worry, I've only drunk a little today. I won't be delayed. That brat is really patient. It's been 4 days. F * ck, we two have to suffer with him …"
"After dealing with this, we will find some bloody slaves to play with. It's said that there are many women among those bloody slaves. Many of them were young ladies and madams of rich clans. As long as they could survive, they could do anything. Even being slaves is better than being bloody slaves. Heh … heh … if only we joined Senel Clan earlier. At least we could have a good position now. We could even choose those bloody slaves …"
"Ha … ha, you brat …"
The guy who stood up revealed an obscene smile as he patted Jeff's shoulder. After that, he burped and left through the other door of this room, leaving Jeff to continue eating and drinking at the table. Zhang Tie found that Jeff had drunk up all the bottles on the table. After shaking the bottle, he muttered something before lying on the table and snoring.
Seeing that Jeff had fallen asleep, Zhang Tie didn't waste any more time. Instead, he quickly rushed out from the corner. As a rat, he easily jumped onto the stool in front of the table. After that, he easily climbed up the north side of the stool. Finally, when he reached the top of the back of the chair, he clearly saw the bunch of keys on the table.
The back of the chair was about 30-40 cm away from the table. Standing on the back of the chair, Zhang Tie landed on the table and came to the side of the bunch of keys rapidly.
There were three keys, which corresponded to the two doors of the cell and the lock on Zhang Tie's body.
At the sight of the keys, Zhang Tie directly bit the key tightly. He even pressed the key with his front paw and adjusted his posture. After confirming that he had bitten the key firmly and wouldn't make any sound, Zhang Tie rapidly rushed to the side of the table and jumped onto the chair from the table. After that, he jumped off the chair and landed on the ground. Finally, he rushed into the cell. Before leaving here, he turned around and glanced at Jeff who had fallen asleep.
When he passed by the iron door of the torture chamber, the key was blocked by the iron bars on both sides. Zhang Tie put down the key and directly bit the key. After that, he lightly dragged the key in. After that, he passed through the torture chamber at his fastest speed and came to the front of his own body before putting the key on the ground.
Zhang Tie then opened his eyes as his consciousness returned to his original body.
He revealed a smile as he touched that rat on his side. After that, he picked up the bunch of keys and inserted one of them into the lock on his neck. With a sound of "Kacha", the lock on his neck was opened.
Zhang Tie put the lock on the ground and picked himself up. After that, he walked to the door of the cell. Holding the key, he stretched his hand out of the crack on one side of the door and lightly opened the door with the key. He then came to the torture chamber.
After breaking through two locks, it was not difficult for Zhang Tie to open the third door of the torture chamber. In this way, Zhang Tie came to the tunnel outside the criminal court.
Zhang Tie was barefoot and upper body. He was supporting the wall with his hands. He was limping and dragging his broken foot. Zhang Tie walked towards the room at the corner while that rat followed him obediently.
After coming to that room, Zhang Tie directly took out a dagger from Castle of Black Iron. After coming to the back of that guy who was sleeping soundly on the table, Zhang Tie covered that guy's mouth and stabbed into his heart with the dagger.
That guy's body only twitched twice before it stopped moving …
Zhang Tie loosened his hand and drew out the dagger from that guy's body. After wiping off the blood on that guy's body, he continued to limp towards the exit of this room...
Outside this room was a gloomy corridor which extended upwards. Under the effect of Zhang Tie's dark vision, the gloomy corridor was as bright as daytime. The corridor was longer than 30 m. There were dim oil lamps on both sides of the corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was another iron door. This iron door was completely sealed and looked like a huge steel plate. There was not even a gap. In the middle of this corridor, there was a room. The wooden door of the room was ajar, and snoring sounds could be heard coming from inside.
Zhang Tie pushed open the wooden door and limped in. After 20 seconds, Zhang Tie came out of the room with a wisp of fresh blood on the tip of his dagger. However, it was quiet in the room.
Of course, Zhang Tie would not be polite to these lackeys who had surrendered to demons and participated in torturing him for a few days. The only pitiful thing was that Navas was not here.
Zhang Tie dragged his broken leg and slowly came to the side of the iron gate at the end of the corridor. Given this iron gate, Zhang Tie knew that Senel Clan attached great importance to him. Because this iron gate could only be opened from the outside.
Zhang Tie sensed that it was too late. Most of the people might have fallen asleep. It was very tranquil outside the iron gate. However, there were two guards outside the iron gate. Given their qi, Zhang Tie knew that they were fighters below LV 6.
From here, there were other passages in the castle. This cell seemed to be one of the more secretive places in the castle. Apart from him, there seemed to be no one else locked up in the castle.
These days, Zhang Tie didn't hear any sound from other prisoners. Given the conversation of the two guards, Zhang Tie knew that this place was not a special prison, but a castle and property of Senel Clan outside Tokei City. It was indeed a secret place for Zhang Tie to be locked in here.
After coming to the side of the iron gate, Zhang Tie lightly knocked at it silently. After a few seconds, he knocked at it once again. However, the second time was a bit more hurried than the first time...
"Who's there?" a muffled roar drifted from outside.
Zhang Tie patted it once again in a more impatient manner. Meanwhile, he imitated that voice in a muffled tone like being drunk, "I want to see whether there's more food in the kitchen."
"Jeff, Benners, you two b * stards, have you eaten up all the food so fast?" With this voice, the iron gate was opened once again. The moment the iron gate was opened, two binding chains had been shot out of Zhang Tie's forehead and hit the two guards outside before the two guards could see clearly Zhang Tie's face.
Zhang Tie then opened the gate and walked out of that narrow corridor. It was indeed much more spacious outside. This place was connected to a tower in the castle. At this moment, nobody was on this floor. Zhang Tie saw the huge window outside the tower and the Tokei City outside the window.
After two swift slashes, Zhang Tie had killed the two guards...
'At this moment, it's not a problem for me to disappear into Castle of Black Iron. Even Senel Clan would not find anything here. It's better than disappearing in this iron can. Additionally, my secret could not be easily discovered by others. '
'If so, the only question is whether to find Navas to deal with him or to enter Castle of Black Iron and come out after recovering from his wounds. '
After being hesitant for a second, Zhang Tie glanced at his broken leg...
Right then, a loud explosion and flames drifted from Tokei City in the distance. The uproar startled this castle at once. Many pitch-dark rooms started to light up through the windows.
Zhang Tie threw a glance at the flames in Tokei City in the distance, which seemed to be from where he was imprisoned a few days ago. Zhang Tie's heart pounded, 'Who's that?'
At this moment, he heard footsteps from below the tower.
Zhang Tie gritted his teeth. This sudden situation didn't allow him to hesitate. He squatted down. He squatted down and had that rat jump onto his hand. Closely after that, he disappeared on the spot...
...
Two minutes later, Navas and a lot of people hurriedly arrived at the place where Zhang Tie disappeared. At the sight of the open iron gate and the two guards lying on the ground, Navas changed his face at once as he hurriedly rushed in with his followers.
In the cell, Benners was dead on the bed. Jeff was dead on the table. All the locks of the cell and the cell were intact. They were not damaged by any external force. It was obvious that the cell was opened with a key.
"Hurry, young master Scala, Zhang Tie who was imprisoned in Iron-Edge Castle has been saved by a powerhouse of allied human forces..." Navas roared furiously.
In Navas' impression, the one who saved Zhang Tie must have sneaked in here secretly. They must have sneaked in from the outside and started from the two guards outside to save Zhang Tie. After that, he escaped far away. The one who saved Zhang Tie must have a terrifying battle strength out of Navas' imagination now that he could enter such a heavily-guarded Iron-Edge Fortress without being discovered.
The moment he thought about the two corpses in the cell, Navas felt a chill inside. If he was still in there, Navas thought that he must have been killed by that powerhouse like slaughtering chickens and sheep.
...
At this moment, the vicinity of Sun Avenue in Tokei City had long become a fiery sea and battlefield. Tens of thousands of demonized puppets were pouring in from all directions like tide. When those demonized puppets filled Sun Avenue, a rainbow-colored brilliant arrow penetrated through the flesh wall of demonized puppets. As a result, demonized puppets were blown up like a rain of blood...
With the power of this arrow, over 200 m of demonized puppets were cleared on Sun Avenue.
With a ferocious look, Lan Yunxi took out another small arrow with a deft small bow in hand. "Yunxi, Zhang Tie is not here. This place is a trap.
"Yunxi, Zhang Tie is not here. This place is a trap. Let's go. If not, we will not be able to leave anymore. Two powerful qis are rushing towards us from the north and one from the south. They will arrive in a few minutes. If you were killed by them, I would not be able to explain it to Zhang Clan and Lan Clan no matter how shameless I am..." Standing on Lan Yunxi's side, Lan Elder casually waved his hand like sweeping off the petals on the table, blowing up the heads of over 100 demonized puppets at once like sweeping off the petals on the table by his sleeve...
Previously, Senel Clan wanted to fish here; however, they had not imagined that they could catch such a tigress and a prehistoric huge crocodile. After watching Lan Elder exterminating a strong archer troop nearby with one punch, none of the members of Senel Clan dared to jump out at this moment.
As for the members of Senel Clan, it was already a victory if they could delay the two people in front of them until the arrival of the demon knights.
Biting her lips, Lan Yunxi shot out another arrow, causing numerous demonized puppets to explode into a rain of blood once again.
Watching Lan Yunxi who was going to draw her bow once again, Lan Elder let out a sigh inside, 'Love is really elusive. If not Lan Yunxi begged him, he would not know that this girl has long fallen in love with Zhang Tie. I've already crossed the line this time. After this, Zhang Clan and Lan Clan would not allow her to risk her life like this anymore. Neither would demons spare her such a chance...'
"Let's go..." Lan Elder put one hand on Lan Yunxi's shoulder.
After throwing a glance at the battlefield, Lan Yunxi recalled Zhang Tie's lazy smile in front of her as she dropped off a drop of tear...
...
After a few minutes, three meteors arrived from the north and the south with a terrifying power. After arriving near the Sun Avenue in Tokei City, they suspended in the air. After a few seconds, they chased after them towards the east at the same time...
...
Two days later, the sudden death of Major General Ford who was being investigated by the allied human command aroused another turmoil in Selnes Theater of Operations. There were two theories about the death of Major General Ford. One was that Major General Ford was a lackey of Three-eye Association. Major General Ford was involved in the plot of Zhang Tie being captured by demons. Therefore, Major General Ford committed suicide to avoid punishment. Another theory was that after being involved in the event that Zhang Tie surrendered to demons, Major General Ford committed suicide in order to maintain his dignity as a soldier due to the unfair and dishonorable treatment that he had received.
No matter which theory was true, all the troops in the frontline of Selnes Theater of Operations started to doubt the ability and authority of the allied human command after being infiltrated by Three-eye Association or the improper treatment of the generals in the frontline of Zhang Tie...
In such a turmoil, there was a piece of news which aroused a shock in the Crystal Battle Fortress. Almost nobody across the theater of operations knew about it — — Lan Yunxi, the commander of the airship troop of Jinyun Country was dispatched back to Taixia Country. Under the "protection" of an elder of Zhang Clan, she left Selnes Theater of Operations silently.
Neither Jinyun Country nor Huaiyuan Palace made any explanation to the outside world about this order.
