It's a medium-sized camp, with dozens of tents and more than a dozen campfires.

The two entered the camp again and found that although the camp was empty, there were still tools and supplies in the tents.

"The people in this camp just left not long ago."

Bai Ye glanced at the soup pot on the bonfire, where the boiling soup was still bubbling and exuding bursts of aroma.

"Did everyone go to Innsmouthtown?"

Lily's expression was a little surprised.

"Maybe the bishop found a way to break through the fog."

"Impossible."

Lily shook her head, but her negative voice was much weaker this time, and her heart seemed to be a little shaken.

"Even if they break through the fog and enter the town of Innsmouth, they won't be able to perform the Old God Summoning Ritual until the stars in the sky are in a certain order."

"How long is it until the stars are in the right order?"

Bai Ye didn't ask about the specific content of the astrological arrangement, because even if Lily explained it to him, he might not be able to understand it, so he just asked the rest of the time.

"Hmm......" Lily muttered for a moment, as if she was mentally calculating the time, "if I'm not mistaken, it's exactly a month before the next astrological alignment." ”

"A month? That's a lot of time, a month to do a lot of things. Bai Ye's brows stretched a little, "Now what we have to think about is how to rescue your brother." ”

Lily had no objection to this, they had come for Valred Ize, and whether or not the fog of Innsmouth Town had been broken would not have much impact on the overall situation, as the two sculptures needed to break the seal were still in their hands.

……

After exiting the camp, the two continued on their way, and soon a large cleared area appeared in front of the road.

There were a lot of building materials in the clearing, huge wooden stakes that were neatly chopped, and piles of blue-gray masonry, and there were torches in front of the clearing, and there were figures shaking, and shouts could be heard from afar.

"What's that? A giant crater?! ”

Lily's sharp eyes immediately saw the situation at the very front of the clearing.

There is a huge pit with a diameter of at least forty or fifty meters, which looks like the result of manual excavation, the walls of the pit are reinforced with wooden planks, and several wooden tower cranes are erected in the pit.

"Are they digging underground tunnels?"

Bai Ye's words woke up Lily, and her face showed a sudden look.

"I see, it is impossible to enter the misty town of Innsmouth from the ground, and these followers of the Secret Order Cult plan to dig directly into the underground of Innsmouth Town, and enter the town through the tunnel!"

"Oh? It's a good idea, and it seems that this fog defense itself has a big hole. ”

Judging from the size of the crater, this group of Secret Order Cultists has been digging here for a long time, and the town of Yakham is less than ten kilometers away, so it should be that the townspeople will already notice the anomaly here and report it to the Izawa family.

However, in the past nearly a year, the Izawa siblings have been under the control of the witch Athanas, and their bodies have been replaced and confined to their feet.

If it weren't for Bai Ye carrying the 'Lalaye Sculpture', the Izawa Ancestral Mansion would not have welcomed any outsiders.

They may not even have access to outsiders, and they will certainly not be able to notice the situation of the crater.

"There are a lot of cultists guarding the edge of the pit, so could it be that your brother was taken under the huge pit by them?"

With the help of the cover of the pile of building materials, the two of them touched the edge of the giant pit little by little.

"No, there isn't."

Lily's gaze crossed Bai Ye, looked in the direction of the giant pit, and raised her chin at Bai Ye, "I already saw him, right there." ”

Bai Ye looked in the direction she was pointing and found that on a platform built very close to the center of the giant crater, Valred Ize was tied to an iron pillar, his head hung down, and he didn't know if he was dead or in a coma.

"Looks like there's no way to which platform?"

The platform was lonely in the center of the giant crater, and there were no bridges and roads to access it, so Bai Ye estimated that those disciples might have used the tower crane next to him to send him over.

"It's clearly a trap that doesn't give people a chance to rescue at all."

Lily frowned, her face full of worry, she was worried about her brother's okay.

Bai Ye poked his head out from behind the bunker and observed the circle around the giant crater.

He found that there were at least five or more disciples guarding the nearby tower cranes, all of whom were carrying machetes, pitchforks and other weapons, and they had no chance to use these tower cranes to save people.

There is a tower crane near which no one is guarded, but the location of the tower crane is at least more than ten meters away from the edge of the giant pit, and the boom is also fixed by several ropes, it seems that it is impossible to build a bridge into the central platform.

Bai Ye touched his chin and thought for a while, then turned his head to Lily behind him and said, "I have a solution." ”

Lily's eyes widened, and she hurriedly leaned closer to listen to Bai Ye's 'rescue plan'.

"Now we need to split up, you go back to the camp, you don't have to do anything else, just set fire to the camp, the bigger the fire, the better, you have to let the guards here see the fire in the camp."

There are a lot of supplies stored in the camp, and when this group sees a fire in the camp, they will definitely run back to the camp to put out the fire as soon as possible.

In this way, the cranes become unguarded and can be used to save Valred.

However, the guards near the crater are not only gathered near the tower crane, but also have a few cultists guarding some high platforms and shelves in the giant pit, and these cultists are also equipped with long-range weapons such as bows and arrows.

"I'm here to save people."

Bai Ye is quite confident in his skills, and although he is now deprived of his original personality ability by the system, his super state can still be activated.

In the super state, his dynamic vision will be greatly improved, and he can still dodge arrows easily, so those few long-range attacking disciples are not much of a threat to him.

"Okay......"

Lily bit her lip, she couldn't think of a better way for a while, and Bai Ye's method sounded very feasible.

"You help me with this."

In order to avoid affecting his movements, Bai Ye handed over the black suitcase containing the sculpture in his hand to Lily for safekeeping, but the two gems were still carried by him because of their small size and light weight, so they did not take much weight.

"After setting the fire, remember to call that carriage to come back to meet us, remember to go around to the side, don't go back the same way, otherwise you may run into believers who rush back to the camp to fight the fire."

Lily nodded, and after taking the box, she also took off the leather whip she was carrying and handed it to Bai Ye.

"Take this, you might use it."
