Book 4: Near Blood - Chapter 8: Infiltration (1/2)
After journeying for twelve days, the party finally arrived at Castle Garrison
West Laina Castle was located there, which here the name ‘Castle Garrison’ came from
The castle itself was located atop a small mountain outside the city Because it was the leader’s castle, outsiders were not allowed entrance easily Every day, people fros
The entire Castle Garrison was built for the sake of serving those within the castle
Even though this territory belonged to the Sand Race,their wares; as a result, Su Chen and the others didn’t seem out of place
Su Chen had also left the wildebeest behind a long ti it for a Camel Wolf so that they didn’t run into any needless trouble the rest of the way there
After arriving, everyone spent their day resting in the garrison
When nightfall drew close, they sprang into action
They dodged the patrolling Sand Race members and quickly arrived at the base of thesaid to He Xu
“Don’t worry” He Xu laughed delightedly and began to slink up the feng’s hand, and reflected on that mirror’s surface was He Xu’s face
He Xu very quickly reached the outer walls of the castles He tossed a few stones at the walls, and a few yellow ripples appeared across the surfaces of the walls
Those were the castle’s defensive barriers
But He Xu didn’t grow agitated He pulled out a silver disk fro and placed it onto the barrier Sharp spikes began to appear on the surface of the disk, penetrating the barrier Next, the disk began to expand via the aid of a steel bar pushi+ng it wider and wider, eventually creating a hole about the size of a washbasin in the barrier
An instant later, He Xu’s figure elongated until he was about as skinny as the hole, allowing hih it
This was one of the Thousand Illusion Beasts’ abilities Not only could he change his appearance, but he could also alter his body’s shape
After passing through the protective barrier, He Xu began to scale the castle walls
Once he reached the top of the walls, however, he didn’t come down Instead, he pulled out a special crystal and airound
Wherever the crystal was ai across the ground
shi+ Mingfeng pointed at the blue light and said to Su Chen, “That is the Blue Sentinel Light It can’t be seen by physical eyes, and anything touching it will trigger an alaric barrier is the first hurdle, then these blue lights are the second A lot of people will fail at this stage, but of course it’s useless to us”
As he spoke, shi+ Mingfeng seeiddy
Su Chen really wanted to tell hio; that hidden blue light couldn’t escape his microscopic eye However, in the end all he said was, “So that’s how it is My eyes have truly been broadened I never expected that I could learn so much from a simple infiltration mission”
“Of course We’re professionals after all,” Night Demon said proudly from the side
……
Su Chen was speechless
At this ht in front of hiht
After avoiding the Blue Sentinel Light, He Xu didn’t continue to advance as before Instead, he lay on the ground and turned into a lizard, slowly crawling across the ground
shi+ Mingfeng explained, “The castle has detection-type Origin For over them This kind of forround, which is why He Xu turned into a lizard The Sand Race likes lizards a lot, and there are quite a few being bred within the castle They’re also used as sentinels, so even if the Sand Race discovers a lizard passing through the Origin Formation, they won’t pay it any attention”
As he spoke, He Xu had just finished passing through the spacious courtyard Indeed, a few lizards waggled their heads and walked over Even though they weren’t familiar with the lizard that He Xu had transformed into, they didn’t cry out in alarm They just took a mental picture of hi
After walking past the open courtyard, He Xu finally reached a building
