Heroes' Prison Chapter 462 - 452: Ancient Giants

Huang Yi spread his wings and, draped in invisibility, soared into the sky to begin a search with his sharp Third Eye.

The island wasn’t large, and Huang Yi quickly scanned from the center all the way to the shore.

From a distance, he saw a figure pacing back and forth along the sandy beach, stepping in the moonlight and occasionally turning to gaze out to sea, seemingly waiting anxiously for sothing.

That figure was, astonishingly, Unbeaten.

The corner of Huang Yi’s mouth lifted slightly, and he imdiately flew over invisibly, landing behind a nearby tree. He transford into the form of a Treasure-Sniffing Cat and used the skill "Nothingness" to completely conceal his presence.

According to Huang Yi’s speculation, after Unbeaten’s death, he would certainly try to rendezvous with the Fallen ssenger to report in detail the recent events. Huang Yi could hide and continue to eavesdrop to see if he could catch any valuable information.

Indeed, after so ti of waiting, a streak of rapid firelight finally appeared in the distant night sky, like a teor streaking across, trailing a long fla.

The teor approached the island directly, and in no ti, landed before Unbeaten, transforming into a figure: the Fallen ssenger.

At this mont, its expression was slightly ugly. It glanced around sharply as if its piercing gaze sought to penetrate everything, checking if anyone was eavesdropping.

Huang Yi felt as if the Fallen ssenger’s gaze was like a knife, piercing through him and bringing imnse pressure. If he were rely invisible, he would most likely have been detected since there was such a vast difference in their powers. But he was now in Void Form, completely vanished from the world, and the Fallen ssenger’s gaze rely swept over his location before moving on without detecting anything unusual.

"How were you killed just now?" After scanning the surroundings and seeing that no one was eavesdropping, the Fallen ssenger turned to Unbeaten and asked with a hint of reproach.

Unbeaten shook his head slightly, a look of helplessness in his tone, "I don’t know what happened, I was suddenly killed in a sneak attack by the Sea Dragon Emperor, but at that ti he was fighting with you, so it must have been his avatar’s doing."

"The Sea Dragon Emperor needs to sneak attack to kill you?" The Fallen ssenger scoffed dismissively and shook its head, "It’s unlikely that he’s the one responsible for this. It’s probably soone else."

"I too am puzzled by this question. If it wasn’t the Sea Dragon Emperor, then who could it be? Our actions were so covert, only the Sea Dragon Emperor knew about them, could it be that soone else was lurking there at the ti?" Unbeaten also expressed his doubts, carefully recalling the events.

"Let’s put this matter aside for now. What’s most important is locating the Giant General. After you were killed, the Giant General also vanished, and I haven’t sensed its presence since. This is a loss I can’t afford." The Fallen ssenger said, hands clasped behind its back, then looked at Unbeaten and said indifferently, "Return the Giant General’s Whip to , with that Giant General gone, you have no use for it anymore."

Upon hearing these words, Unbeaten’s heart sank, and he steeled himself to say, "Right after I was killed, the Giant General’s Whip... it dropped."

"What? It dropped?" The Fallen ssenger was slightly startled, its face trembling with anger, "You useless fool, you can’t even handle such a simple task!"

Its furious voice erupted, projecting upwards without restraint!

Unbeaten inwardly sighed but kept silent, waiting for the Fallen ssenger’s rage to subside.

Huang Yi, watching from not too far away, suddenly felt sorry for Unbeaten. This was the fate of those who joined the ranks of The Seven Archdemons: although their power was greatly enhanced, they were essentially robbed of all dignity and freedom. In the eyes of outsiders, Unbeaten was a master revered by thousands, awe-inspiring and mighty, but at this mont, his prestige was swept away. Chastised loudly by the Fallen ssenger, he dared not talk back. Should he provoke the Fallen ssenger’s true wrath, the punishnt might extend beyond a re scolding - he could be chased down to level 1.

"So you’re saying that the Giant General’s Whip has also been taken by the enemy?" At this mont, the Fallen ssenger seed to think of sothing, and a strange light suddenly burst from his eyes, his rage diminishing considerably, "That whip has been specially blessed by the king and is easier to locate than the Giant General himself. Even if it’s placed within a storage space, it can still be searched for. Perhaps through that whip, we can instead find the Giant General’s location!"

Having said that, the Fallen ssenger hastily closed his eyes, and a stream of blood-light flew out from the top of his head, sweeping in all directions, crossing oceans and disappearing in the distance.

Unbeaten watched the Fallen ssenger, his expression filling with a touch of expectation. If the Giant General and the whip could not be found, he too would be punished, as this matter had a direct impact on his future.

At this mont, Huang Yi felt relieved. Back in the Heroes’ Prison, he had thought of the Induction Stone in the storage ring. Since the Induction Stone could work even inside the storage ring, it indicated that the storage ring could not completely isolate from the external space, and would leave so traces. Therefore, he had prudently left the Giant General’s Whip in Heroes’ Prison, a prison personally constructed by the Death God. Let alone the Fallen ssenger, even if The Seven Archdemons themselves ca to sense it, they would not be able to detect it.

Gradually, the Fallen ssenger’s brows furrowed, and after a long ti, he opened his eyes, revealing a puzzled look: "Why can’t I still not locate it?"

"How is that possible?" Unbeaten was imdiately shocked, "Wasn’t it said that the Giant General’s Whip could be searched for even if it’s in a storage space? Why can’t it be sensed?"

"This indicates that our adversary is a true master." The Fallen ssenger’s expression turned grave, "It’s one thing for the Giant General to elude detection, but for the whip to also escape sensing, it only implies that the person has extrely clever ans, and it is very likely that they’ve hidden them within so relics shielded by Divine Power. It appears that our search for the Giant General will be quite difficult."

"Then is it possible that the enemy might use the Giant General’s Whip to control the Giant General? Once they do that, won’t we be able to find a trace?" Unbeaten suddenly said.

The Fallen ssenger shook his head, his face fraught with concern, "Only those of us with Demonic Attributes can claim the Giant General’s Whip as their own; the person won’t be able to use it. What worries exactly is this, that person, with such skillful ans, might be able to re-refine the Giant General and the whip, erase the Demonic Attributes Imprint, and by then control the Giant General to fight against us, turning it into a nightmare!"

"Why so?" Unbeaten, hearing the weight of the Fallen ssenger’s words, hastily asked.

At that mont, Huang Yi too perked up his ears, wanting to eavesdrop on this great secret.

The Fallen ssenger sighed and said, "In fact, very few people know about this matter. The King values these Giant Generals so much yet doesn’t mass-produce them because their material is extrely special. The material used to refine Giant Generals is from Ancient Giants. During the Primordial Era, when the seven kings invaded this world, those Ancient Giants inflicted great damage upon the Demonic Creatures. They could unleash extrely pure Sacred Attacks and were fearless in battle, making them the natural nesis of the Demonic Creatures. Our Demon Clan has an epic that recounts the fierce battle between the King of Greed and the Ancient Giant tribe chief, which in the end was inconclusive."

Ancient Giants! Huang Yi mulled over these words, quickly noting them down, while his ears continued to eavesdrop.

"Later, the seven kings united and, after great difficulty, eliminated all the Ancient Giants, eradicating that race and refining their corpses into Giant Generals, their tendons crafted into the Giant General’s Whip. In the subsequent invasions, these Giant Generals were invincible, acting as a weapon of world destruction. But Ancient Giants’ corpses were limited in number, each one incredibly precious; the loss of even a single one was a huge setback."

The Fallen ssenger’s tone grew heavy as he continued, "If a mastermind manages to refine the Giant General and the whip again, removing the Demonic Attributes Imprint, the Giant General would essentially beco a puppet of an Ancient Giant’s corpse, posing a huge threat to us. Just applying the blood of an Ancient Giant onto a weapon could inflict enormous damage upon Demonic Races; and if the actual body was deployed, even I would be no match, and it would inevitably cause extensive casualties. We would need at least the strength of a General to defeat the Giant General, reclaim its corpse; it’s a very troubleso ordeal." The Fallen ssenger’s tone beca extrely serious towards the end.

"Has this kind of event happened in history before?" Unbeaten asked.

"Of course it has. Every dispatch of a Giant General carries a risk; they are indeed a double-edged sword. In our hands, they serve us; in the enemy’s hands, they serve them. However, such incidents are very rare, since Giant Generals are extrely powerful and have long lifespans. Defeating one takes a considerable amount of ti, ti enough for our Demon Clan’s reinforcents to arrive and secure the Giant General."

As the Fallen ssenger said this, his tone turned frosty, "I just never thought that such a loss would one day occur on our watch, that the Giant General would be captured while still weakened! In this world, there are very few who can hide the Giant General and the whip without our knowledge. The Giant General can only remain weakened for a very short ti; why did they happen to appear at this mont? Only a few of us are privy to this matter; could soone have leaked information?" Having said that, the Fallen ssenger glanced at Unbeaten with a aningful look.

"It definitely wasn’t !" Unbeaten, seeing the terrifying look in the Fallen ssenger’s eyes, quickly clarified his innocence, "From the mont I submitted to The Seven Archdemons, my fate has been tied to theirs, and I would never do anything to harm my own interests. There must be another reason behind this incident."

"I too hope there is another reason." The Fallen ssenger withdrew his gaze, "Moving forward, we need to use every ans to search for the whereabouts of the Giant General. Although the hope is slim, we have no other choice; the loss of the Giant General from our possession ans we must find it at all costs!"(To be continued.
