435: Chapter 435 Start Action_1 435: Chapter 435 Start Action_1 “Although dealing with those guards shouldn’t be too much of an issue for us, we don’t have the ability to take prisoners…”
“Then don’t take any.”
“What do you an?!”
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with so surprise, and Feng Yuan spread his hands as he spoke,
“There’s no need to hold back against those guards, or any of the enemies for that matter, just take them out directly.”
“But there are so many of them…”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.”
Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Qi Chen was torn.
Qi Xiaoshuang seed to guess sothing and whispered to Dou Yanlan on the side.
Jenna indicated a path on the map, saying,
“If we take this route, we can avoid those guards.”
“A secret passage chanism?”
Curious about the route Jenna mapped out, Feng Yuan asked, and Jenna nodded as she said,
“That’s right, but only the civilian districts have these things.
So to get to Noscarte, we still need to be careful to avoid the guards.”
“A stealth ga, huh?”
Feng Yuan suddenly perked up.
Glancing at him, Qi Chen said grumpily,
“Are you planning on sneaking past or killing your way through?”
“Co on—didn’t they say that if you take out everyone who sees you, it’s the perfect infiltration?”
“What the hell…”
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan, speechless.
He didn’t quite understand why Feng Yuan would say such a thing.
Dou Yanlan, seemingly eager to try, said,
“A ga…
I want to give it a shot too.”
Qi Chen rubbed his forehead, feeling like sothing was off.
“So, which way should we go?”
After thinking for a bit, Jenna said, and Feng Yuan took out a map of Calien City and casually drew three lines, saying,
“Any of these three places would work.”
“Are you serious?!”
Qi Xiaoshuang looked doubtfully at one of the lines, which traced from the roads of the new district of Calien straight to the town of Calien.
Feng Yuan looked back at Qi Xiaoshuang and said,
“Of course.”
“Then explain this line to !”
“Simple, just go ‘Musou’ mode, whoever stands in the way gets knocked out, right?”
“That’s ruthless!”
Qi Xiaoshuang said dissatisfiedly as he stared at Feng Yuan, who laughed without further explanation.
He understood what Qi Xiaoshuang ant.
Seeing that Qi Chen looked sowhat dissatisfied, Dou Yanlan laughed and said,
“Don’t worry, those guards are probably fake, right?”
“If they were real, I believe you definitely wouldn’t act this way.”
Nodding toward Dou Yanlan, Feng Yuan said,
“Right, those people…
after the situation is dealt with, ti will correct everything thoroughly, and whether they live or die won’t have much impact.”
“Really?”
Qi Chen asked Feng Yuan skeptically, who nodded as he propped his head with one hand and twirled a pen in the other,
“Why would I lie to you?
Otherwise, why do you think I don’t care about the lives of those guys?”
As he spoke, Feng Yuan glanced at Yang Hongzhi who was about to ask a question and silently placed a finger to his lips, whispering,
“It’s a secret—once everything is over, you’ll understand everything.”
“But…”
Feng Yuan sneakily looked at Najia, and after noticing that the latter hadn’t picked up on anything, he said,
“Anyway, I won’t tell you.”
After studying the three routes for a while, Jenna said,
“I think taking this side might be better, except…
I rember there’s nothing here to provide cover.”
Dou Yanlan reminisced and said,
“None of the three routes have any cover.
I can understand going in guns blazing on this one, and this one should be about taking a small train and could work if undetected, but I really don’t get this one…”
Feng Yuan said in exasperation,
“You guys, don’t forget Xiao Hui is an Earth System Spirit Beast, digging a tunnel is so easy.”
“A tunnel?!”
Everyone looked at Feng Yuan with so astonishnt.
Shrugging his shoulders, he said helplessly,
“If it were a modern city, I wouldn’t suggest digging a tunnel, given the comprehensive defensive asures in place, but the surroundings of Calien Town are not like that.
Or perhaps, even if there had been defenses earlier, they’ve long since fallen into disrepair.”
“Dig a tunnel over there?
That’s not a bad idea.”
Dou Yanlan thought for a mont and agreed, saying that she had roughly guessed what had happened between Calien and Noscarte.
Hence, she also surmised that it was highly likely that they hadn’t paid much attention to defenses underground.
After a long discussion, they finally decided to follow the route Feng Yuan mapped out and use the tunnel to infiltrate Calien and look for the faux Yagina.
“Are we ready?
Don’t leave anything behind~”
“As if.”
Glancing at Feng Yuan, Qi Chen replied irritably.
At that mont, Qi Xiaoshuang began rummaging through her pockets, exclaiming,
“Oh no!
I forgot my cara!
Wait for !”
Qi Chen looked on speechlessly as Xiaoshuang ran back.
He noticed that everyone was either donning the Wolf God’s Robe and fixing their hoods or wrapping themselves in cloaks and hiding within, while Feng Yuan chuckled and said,
“Right now, we all look like so evil organization up to no good~”
Dou Yanlan smoothed out her cotton and calmly stated,
“Maybe what we’ll have to do later will look even more like the actions of an evil organization.”
After a while, Xiaoshuang hurried back, and upon checking once more that they hadn’t forgotten anything, everyone proceeded towards a wasteland outside Calien City.
Upon reaching the wasteland, Yang Hongzhi summoned Xiao Hui to start digging the tunnel.
“This is so slow…
seems like I’ve overestimated Xiao Hui.”
Xiao Hui, who was earnestly digging away at the front, huffed in dissatisfaction upon hearing Feng Yuan’s comnt.
With a sigh, Feng Yuan walked over to the White Wolf Deity’s side and said,
“Hongzhi, let it rest for a while.”
“What are you going to do?”
Qi Chen looked at Feng Yuan with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding what Feng Yuan had in mind.
“It’s too inefficient…
at this rate, we won’t reach Calien Town by tomorrow.”
“Everybody, back up.”
The group at the front, puzzled about what Feng Yuan intended to do, moved aside at his behest.
Yang Hongzhi directed Xiao Hui to step aside, joining Qi Chen and the others to clear the way.
The White Wolf Deity exhaled a gust of white breath, then slowly advanced to the very front, mouth seemingly holding sothing.
After a mont, the deity violently expelled a grey column of light forward, which slowly expanded before gradually fading.
“That should do it~”
Observing the appearance of a straight, circular tunnel, Feng Yuan said proudly.
Xiaoshuang bent over to peer down the tunnel and remarked,
“Isn’t it a bit too small?”
Feng Yuan glanced at Xiaoshuang and said without emotion,
“As long as we can walk through, it’s fine.
We’re not digging a major tunnel here; making it bigger would just complicate things.”
Feng Yuan turned to look back at the tunnel, which was quite spacious due to Xiao Hui not having mastered shape-shifting.
Thus, the tunnel Xiao Hui had dug was very large; everyone could jump around inside it without bumping their heads on the ceiling.
But because it was so large, Xiao Hui had to reinforce the tunnel after digging just a short distance, resulting in not much progress by noon.
“Seems okay, though.”
After walking a distance into the tunnel and then back out, Dou Yanlan spoke to Feng Yuan, saying, “Although the tunnel made by the White Wolf Deity isn’t particularly spacious, one can move inside by bending slightly, even turning around without much trouble.”
“But if we encounter any danger, it could be a bit…”
As Yanlan spoke, she looked towards Feng Yuan, who had his hand on the White Wolf Deity and chuckled,
“If we run into trouble, can’t we just create a space on the spot?”
Recalling the attributes of the White Wolf Deity, Yanlan laughed and responded,
“Right, I had forgotten about its abilities.”
“Let’s go then~”
Seeing Feng Yuan lead the way into the tunnel, Qi Chen glanced at Yanlan and smiled.
Yanlan, guessing Qi Chen’s concerns, said,
“Don’t you trust him?”
“Since he believes it’s safe, why shouldn’t we trust him?”
“No way!
Detective Xiao Shuang must get to the bottom of what happened!”
Xiaoshuang, sowhat indignant, clamored from the side.
She refused to admit that her analytical skills were inferior to Yanlan’s.
Yang Hongzhi, looking a bit nervous, glanced at Najia in his arms and quietly asked,
“How are you?
All good?”
Najia, nestled in Yang Hongzhi’s arms, gently shook its head.
Although still scared, it was at least no longer solely focused on escaping after dealing with its emotional issues.
Xiao Hui looked woefully at Yang Hongzhi.
Unable to help but chuckle at Xiao Hui, Yang Hongzhi said helplessly,
“There’s nothing to be done about it.
Aren’t you about to master shape-shifting?
This won’t happen again in the future.”
After calming down the dismayed Xiao Hui, Yang Hongzhi bent over and caught up with the group.
