Chapter 359: Be sure to keep an eye on your back before you act
As Zuo Qiuyun began to flee, those guards also broke free from the shackles of the Guiyuan Sword Formation one by one, chasing him and running towards the street. Mo Qianying pulled up her hood and entered the shadow retreat state, squeezed through the crowded crowd, and walked towards the gate of the forbidden area. This time he was unhindered and stepped into the box without any problems.
The moment he stepped through the gate of the forbidden area, all the information on his body was refreshed, and the shadow escape state disappeared. He hurriedly checked the state of his body, and found that it didn't seem to be affected in any way, except that he couldn't use attack means and skills. He began to understand a little why Ming Tianque only needed him to find Li Fenglei's coordinates, it turned out that there was no way to use the skill in the forbidden area.
However, since Ming Tianque dared to come in to deal with Li Fenglei, it was obvious that he had a way to use force in it, but these were not issues that Mo Qianying should be concerned about. There was less than an hour left before the next system inspection, and he had to find Li Fenglei before that.
Before leaving, Ming Tianque also specially told him that he must make sure that when he finds Li Fenglei, he will not be discovered, otherwise once he moves to another place, it will affect the difficulty of his actions. Listening to Ming Tianque's tone, there seemed to be a time limit for his effective range of movement in the restricted area.
Mo Qianying acted very cautiously along the way, following the group of NPCs who had entered the forbidden area towards the inside, and it seemed that they were all walking in the direction of the main hall of the forbidden area. As they walked inside, they would pass by a team or two of patrolling guards from time to time, their eyes scanning the crowd, and they didn't react much when they saw Mo Qianying.
These NPCs who went to the main hall seemed to have some kind of purpose, and although Mo Qianying couldn't understand what was going on, he vaguely felt that if he continued to follow them, he was afraid that something would go wrong. Realizing this, Mo Qianying began to build up his surroundings in large numbers, looking for an opportunity to break away from the team.
The space inside the restricted area is very vast, surrounded by some tall palaces, and from the outside, it seems that the inside also has a complete modeling. Obviously, the developers plan to make this place a landmark complex like a palace, and the actual function of this place is unknown, and it is likely that they just want to cooperate with the setting of the imperial capital.
Mo Qianying glanced around, and after making sure that there were no patrolling guards, he decisively broke away from the crowd and walked towards a towering tower on the left. Zhan Tiangang once analyzed that if Li Fenglei wanted to hide in it for a long time, he would definitely stay in a place where no one would disturb him, and as long as he climbed to the commanding heights and found such an area, he could further narrow the scope of the search.
However, due to the restriction of the Shadow Claw and the disabling of the system, Mo Qianying could not quickly climb to that height, and could only climb the protruding part of the tower's periphery to reach the top of the tower. I have to say that this approach is a bit of a test of his concentration, this tower is at least seven or eight stories high, and it is really dizzying to climb without any protection.
However, Mo Qianying finally made it to the top of the tower without danger, and began to look down at the surroundings, relying on the height of the tower, he could already look down on the entire area, and he could see every corner of the forbidden area very easily.
Since the layout of the forbidden area is completely based on the layout of the Imperial Palace, there are several floors of large palace complexes behind the main hall, and those NPCs who enter the main hall are significantly reduced in number when they come out of the back passage after entering the main hall. The further back you go, the fewer NPCs you enter the exclusion zone, and the range of their activities spreads out in all directions.
Following the figures of these NPCs, Mo Qianying drew their route with his gaze, and soon narrowed the scope of the no-man's land to three areas. From here, he put on the second condition of Zhan Tiangang's analysis and further narrowed the scope.
Although Li Fenglei has lost the identification symbol of the demon sword host, after all, he still needs to avoid the routine inspection of the system every day, so the person who controls him will definitely let him stay in an area with an extremely complex environment, so that he can disperse the data he modifies into the surrounding environmental data, so as to reduce the difficulty of evading inspection.
Mo Qianying corresponded this condition to these three areas, and immediately discovered a small garden located in the northwest corner of the forbidden area. There are not only overlapping houses, but also a pond surrounded by a grove of groves. In contrast, the other two are either empty squares or some simple palaces, and obviously the small garden is more abundant.
Once she had found her target, she slid down the tower, bypassing the large square in front of the main hall, and hiding in the shadows between the houses towards the small garden to the northwest.
The layout here was indeed different from the others, Mo Qianying was quickly blocked by a blocked gate, he recalled the layout of the houses he had just observed above the tower, and suddenly thought that there seemed to be a low house on the other side, which could smoothly bypass the high wall here.
It's just that before Mo Qianying could act, he heard a sound of footsteps walking towards this side, and the place where he was surrounded by high walls on the left and right, providing no space to hide at all. The sound of footsteps became clearer and clearer, and Mo Qianying understood that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so he hurriedly ran towards the shadow of the wall on the right, the Godslayer suit on his body was originally black, maybe he could use it to fight.
Mo Qianying shrank at the foot of the wall, trying to curl up his body together to reduce the chance of the other party spotting him. He wasn't sure if it would work, but there was no other way around it right now.
Then, the footsteps became hasty, and then suddenly fell silent, sounding like the person who had just been walking suddenly encountered something, and then stopped moving.
Just when Mo Qianying was puzzled, a neat running sound quickly approached from a distance, and he was startled on the spot, forcibly resisting the urge to escape, and became preoccupied with vigilance, staring at the foot of the street diagonally opposite.
There is only one circumstance in the restricted area where such footsteps can be heard, and that is when a large number of Praetorian guards are chasing their target. It was clear that the initial footsteps belonged to someone who shouldn't have been here, or the guards wouldn't have come outside of the patrol route. Li Fenglei's setting is NPC, so their target can only be the player.
The player who broke into the forbidden area, coupled with the time difference was not long, Mo Qianying quickly understood that this person obviously took advantage of Zuo Qiuyun to lead away the guards before following him in. It's just that the other party's actions don't seem to be his own, otherwise he wouldn't have touched it at this time, and he accidentally touched the pursuit of the guards.
The searching guards soon entered the area, and Mo Qianying crouched motionless at the foot of the wall, paying attention to the guards' every move, ready to flee at any time.
