Chapter 916

The crack of the world. Inside.

It was a twisted world.

There was no sun.

There was no moon.

There seemed to be an aurora swirling in the sky.

The atmosphere was like a mirage, undulating back and forth.

This was a world that was completely different from the surface of the world. Even the scenery seemed to be distorted. It was also the inner side of the world.

Just like how there were internal organs under a human's skin, apart from the appearance of the world, there was also an unknown inner side. No one could spy on it, and no one could reach it. It was only when the battle between the Demon King and the Supreme God caused the world itself to be damaged and cracks appeared that there was a way to enter this place.

Of course, there were no living beings here.

Not to mention living beings, not even flowers or trees could be seen here.

However, in the depths of such a world, there was a town.

It was a city that seemed to have migrated from somewhere else and occupied the deepest part of this place.

There were buildings and streets in the town. Although it wasn't big, there were many Orc Warriors standing guard, firmly guarding every corner of the town.

If one were to observe carefully, one could also see Orcs transporting all kinds of resources, as well as Dwarven blacksmiths who borrowed some facilities to forge weapons, armors, and even magical products.

They were scattered in all directions of the town, surrounding a palace located in the center of the town.

The palace looked like an Egyptian pyramid. It had a staircase structure, and there was only a long staircase leading to the palace gate at the top, allowing people to enter the interior of the palace.

It was hard for ordinary people to imagine that there was such a town and such a palace in this place where life couldn't be nurtured.

No one came in the direction of the town, so the town just sat there alone, like Lou Lan in the desert.

Until a certain moment, an aurora suddenly swept across the sky.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Two figures flew out from the aurora one after another, entering the inner side of the world.

They were naturally Shien and Norb.

Bang!

Norb landed heavily on the ground, causing it to sink and forming a hole.

Buzz!

The magical power around Shien's body trembled, and he suddenly stopped in mid-air. He floated there and didn't land on the ground.

He raised his head and looked around.

"Is this the inner side of the crack?"

Shien looked around curiously.

"I'm finally in."

Norb was slightly excited. He turned to look at the lonely town, and his eyes flashed with an ominous glint.

"I'm here, Guula."

Norb murmured hatefully.

There was only one reason for him to come here, and that was to rescue his wife and daughter, then defeat Guula and restore the Orc Race to its original state.

Of course, Norb was very clear that it would be very difficult for him to do this alone.

Not to mention anything else, just Guula alone was already very difficult for him to pass.

In the past, he had challenged and challenged Guula.

Guulla was the King of the Beastmen, the strongest Beastman. Nob was the second strongest Beastman, so it was impossible for the two to not have fought before.

Or in other words, with Norb's personality, if he hadn't challenged Kieran before, how could he be willing to settle for second place?

He had challenged Guulla several times in the past, but he had lost every single time.

Although Guulla was only two levels higher than Nob, Nob was only a Tigerman, while Guulla had all the specialties of the Orcs. In addition, he had a unique skill that was even more powerful than [Monstrous Strength]. Nob was no match for him.

Therefore, Norb knew that he did not have the ability to resist Guulla.

But it didn't mean that Norb wouldn't resist.

After understanding what Guula had done to the beastmen and how he was betrayed by his own brother, Nob had already made up his mind. For the sake of the beastmen, for the sake of the Tiger Tribe, for the sake of his wife and children, he would perish together with Guula.

Because of that, Norb resisted when he was being escorted.

He knew that if he didn't fight back then, he wouldn't even have the ability to fight back once he was escorted here and surrounded by Guula and his elite troops.

Fortunately, he met Shien. Not only was he saved by Shien, but he also brought along an almost invincible helper.

Norb raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Stop looking, hero. Come down quickly, don't be discovered by the sentries!"

Norb shouted at the sky.

Sean, who was floating in the air, rolled his eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of being discovered with that loud voice of yours?"

You've already suffered once, and you still dare to shout like this? Are you a fool?

Moreover, you're a fool who knows how to act coquettishly …

Shien couldn't help but shiver when he thought of the "enchanting" dance he had performed outside.

Damn it, I'm really traumatized.

"I'll have to ask the beauties around me to wash my eyes when I get back."

Shien made up his mind to ask Rosie or the obedient Merica to dance in front of him.

One of them was a princess, and the other was a young elf. They should know how to dance, right?

As for Ai Yi and Tierre, Shien did not expect them to dance.

Rather than counting on those two girls to dance in front of him, Shien might as well count on Chafine to dance for him.

At the very least, Chafine had danced in his dreams before, hadn't she?

At the very least, he would ask La Xia to dance for him.

As the perfect head maid, Big Sister should know how to dance, right?

Hmm, just thinking about it makes me a little excited.

While Shien was immersed in his fantasies, Norb roared impatiently.

"Are you coming down or not?!"

The roar was so loud that it shattered Shien's fantasies.

For a moment, Shien had the urge to smash Norb's dog head … No, tiger head.

He was simply a dream breaker!

Shien, who was in a terrible mood, wanted to teleport down, but he found that the space here was even more chaotic than outside.

"Looks like I won't be able to use teleportation abilities in the Inner World."

Shien had no choice but to admit this fact.

However, it did not affect Shien too much.

With his current speed, even if it was not as fast as teleportation, it would not greatly reduce his combat power.

So, Shien descended and landed beside Norb.

"Can you still lead the way next?"

Shien asked Norb straightforwardly.

Norb was equally straightforward.

"I can't." The Tigerman said confidently, "That town was built when Guulla moved his tribe in. Other than them, who else would be familiar with the terrain?"

… In other words, this guy is useless now, right?

Shien looked at Norb with a trace of malice.

"What … What are you trying to do?"

Norb felt a chill down his spine and looked at Shien cautiously.

"Nothing much." Shien showed a kind smile and said, "I'm just thinking, since you are not familiar with the terrain, will you be a burden if I bring you along?"

"Huh?" Norb pointed at himself in surprise. "Are you saying that I'm a burden?"

In all honesty, this was the first time someone said that Norb was a burden.

In the past, wherever he went, he was either seen as a big boss or a thigh. Since when was he seen as a burden?

Have you ever seen a burden as high as level 97?

Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for saying that?

Unfortunately, Shien was not afraid of that.

"Then what do you plan to do next?" Shien said bluntly. "Follow behind me like a pendant?"

"I …" Norb almost cursed.

But it was the truth.

Sean had a concealment skill like [Inner Perception of Destiny]. Even if he did not have the ability to teleport, he could still perfectly sneak into the town and try to find the hostages.

What about Norb?

Does this big guy know how to sneak?

I'm afraid I can only use Peerless, right?

Norb also understood this point, so he could not help but comment.

"Can't you bring me along? I can at least be considered a powerful helper, right? "

Norb tried to prove his worth.

Shien did not deny this.

"How about this." Shien thought for a moment and said, "I'll give you a mission."

"What is it?" Norb was excited. He patted his chest and promised, "Tell me, I promise to complete it for you."

"Okay." Sean nodded, then pointed to the gate of the town and said, "Do you see that?"

"I see it," Norb answered honestly.

"Charge through it," Shien said concisely.

"… What?" Norb was silent for a while and began to doubt his ears.

"I said, you charge through it." Shien said with a serious expression, "You're so big and your target is so obvious. Coupled with your top Legendary skills, ordinary people can't do anything to you in a short period of time. If you charge through there and cause a ruckus, the people inside will definitely focus all their attention on you. They might even send out their real experts."

Norb was completely silent.

Although he looked like an uncouth man, he was actually quite smart.

Therefore, he understood what Shien wanted to say.

"… You want me to be the bait?"

Norb's mouth twitched as he said the guess that he did not want to believe.

Shien immediately gave him a thumbs up.

"Smart. As expected of the former Minister of the Tiger Tribe."

Shien's words made Norb want to smash his head.

However, he also understood that if he could attract the attention of others to himself, it would definitely be a great advantage for Sean's rescue operation.

With Shien's strength, the only thing he had to worry about was Guulla threatening him with the hostages.

Besides, rescuing the hostages would help liberate the orcs. This was also the biggest goal of Shien's trip. He had to rescue the hostages first.

Norb's expression became gloomy.

After a while, he clenched his teeth and stared at Shien.

"Remember, rescue my wife and daughter."

That was the only thing Norb wanted to emphasize.

"Don't worry."

Seeing that Norb had compromised, Shien also put away his joking attitude and nodded.

In fact, with his ability, it was not difficult for him to sneak in with [Inner Perception of Destiny] and find the hostages after bringing Norb in without anyone noticing.

He had once been able to sneak into the secret base set up by Mara and the Grand Priest without anyone noticing, so it would not be difficult for him to do the same this time.

But it was better to be safe than sorry.

Shien did not forget how many times the humans and the Protoss had fallen in the past month.

Having learned his lesson, Shien did not want to be blindly confident anymore.

Perhaps the other party had set up some sort of method to see through his stealth. That was for sure.

The enemy might even have predicted that Kieran would come here and that the humans and the Protoss would send people to rescue the hostages. That was why the enemy had set up a trap here, waiting for the humans and the Protoss to step in. That was also possible.

Similar things had happened several times in the past month, so Shien had no choice but to be careful.

Because of that, Shien decided to use the most reliable method to rescue the hostages first.

He could look down on the enemy in terms of tactics, but in terms of combat, he had to pay attention to the enemy to prevent himself from stepping into the [Original Demon]'s trap.

Norb seemed to be able to understand Sean's thoughts, and accepted his mission.

"Remember, my wife's name is Lilimei, and my daughter's name is Lamamy."

After that, Norb left without a word and dashed towards the direction of the town.

Sean watched as Norb left. With a flash, he disappeared as well.

The rescue mission had begun.
