Chapter 998: Fierce Battle for Ziyan (Thirty-two)

At the same time, in a virtual world.

Click. Click. Click. Hal crawled silently forward in the ventilation duct, making the slightest noise, trying not to be noticed by the chapter guards outside the duct.

There are several branches every thirty yards, but their construction is not as complex as expected, and the design of the corridors and rooms inside the castle is almost the same, so that each passage and room can be well ventilated.

The teenagers don't have to worry about getting lost in the dark ventilation ducts, and when they reach a vent, they can look down to see the layout of the corridor below. Light also seeps through these vents into the ventilation ducts, and for the teenagers in the dark ventilation ducts, there are "road signs" every five yards, and even if the road ahead is blank, they will not be completely lost in the darkness.

That's it, from one light source to another, every time Hal walked a little forward, he approached the vent and looked down, observing the shape.

In the passage below, a group of heavily armed chapter guards walked by, and like the other patrols, the number remained at a team of three.

There are about thirty of these patrols on the second floor of the castle, but it's still very dark, and there are plenty of nooks and crannies to hide. It shouldn't be difficult to avoid these patrols if used wisely.

Rather than navigating through the dark in the air without proper lighting, it might be more efficient to walk outside the ventilator and sneak inside the castle. But forget it. Hal is hell-bent on stability. Their current situation is not optimistic, and there is no need to take this risk.

However, having said that, the scale of security on the second floor is really not small. This floor, which is arranged as a storage room, has many rooms, and it seems that the rooms are all stocked with miscellaneous items such as wine and grain. Hundreds of chapter guards patrolled back and forth in this kind of ghost place, and the situation was indeed a bit strange. Is it really worth sending so many people to guard the clutter here?

Thinking of this, Husky's first consideration was that there might be a secret treasure room on this level. It was precisely because there was a great treasure on this level that they were so nervous and guarded, right?

Thinking of this, the goal of the canine boy changed again.

If this treasure is stolen, won't they make a fortune?

The task of [Collecting Enchanted Materials] that they accept can also be done by spending money. Completing this quest will not only give you the opportunity to enchant a weapon, but also gain experience points. With these experience points, Husky may be able to move up to level five.

In other words, you don't have to deliberately deal with the leader of the chapters, as long as you have enough money, you can level up. In this way, it will not break the agreement with Hal to "avoid fighting as much as possible", and the agreement with Uncle Arthur can be reached. That's the best decision.

"Uh-huh" Thinking of this, Husky pulled the tail of the leopard man's kitten hard.

"Meow!" Haal let out a low whimper from deep in his throat and stopped, "Ha-Husky, what do you want to do?" Husky thought of a solution. The canine boy put his mouth close to his friend's ear and muttered a few words.

"Hmm... After hearing this, Hal couldn't help frowning, even though his frown was not visible to anyone in the darkness: "Hal doesn't approve of meows. It's too risky to do that. "But, is it possible to just watch the treasure pass by us, but do nothing?" Husky tried his best to persuade his little friend: "Think about it, if we can get the treasure of the chapters, we don't have to work hard to farm any enchantment materials, and today's adventure can be over like this." If it succeeds, Husky will promise you not to venture everywhere again, and to stay at the Eternal Altar until time passes. "This-" The leopard man boy was a little moved, "But, the treasure must be guarded by someone......, right? "Have you forgotten where we are?" Calvin interjected at this point, "We pass through the ventilation ducts, and we may be able to bypass the guards at the treasure gate and go straight to the treasure room." Once inside, it's easy to do, and Calvin will do a magic trick to freeze the door, even if there is a commotion in the treasure room, no one outside can interfere. "Well, that's fine... "So, let's find the entrance to the treasure room first, and then find a way to get in through the ventilation ducts, won't we?" Husky continued, "since Uncle Arthur and the others have already invaded the city, and it is only a matter of time before we join them, we don't need to rush to escape, but take a picture of the treasure in this castle and scrape it as much as we can." "Agreed. Smart approach. Prince Calvin followed suit.

"It's... Okay meow. Seeing that his friends were all saying this, Hal had no way to say more objections. This plan did not add much risk to their actions, and it is likely that nothing will happen, and it will be done quietly and quietly.

However, I felt that something was wrong. Is it thinking too much? The leopard man boy Hal felt uneasy in his heart.

In order to find the treasure room, what they have to do is actually quite simple. As long as you carefully observe the routes patrolled by the guards of the chapters, gather these routes, and find out the patterns, you can vaguely guess the location of the treasure room.

Theoretically, the more densely distributed the patrol team, the more frequently each patrol patrols the place, which is probably where the treasure room is located. If that's the case, there should be a heavily guarded front door to that treasure room, which is easy to identify.

All Hal had to do was follow the direction of the patrol and head to where they were concentrated.

"Huh?" one of the chapter guards suddenly exclaimed, "Zueu, Zsdr'Souoluke." "He's saying, [there seems to be a voice overhead]. Calvin, the fish-man prince who could understand the language of the chapter people, leaned into Husky's ear and translated synchronously.

The canine boy immediately tugged at Hal's cat tail and motioned for everyone to stand still.

"HMM, zodaou'zedadeu. (Don't care, it's just your delusion.) Another member of the patrol guarded.

"dasm'sdaernasuynz. (Maybe it's just a rat in the ventilation duct.) Another chapter man also said: "Deaoaen, wemdieun, deassdaeun. "It's disgusting to say that Prince Ben is a rat!" Calvin was about to have a seizure, but he was immediately covered by Husky.

The group of chapter guards paid no particular attention to the noise in the ventilation ducts, and continued to patrol their route.

The three teenagers also breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to follow. But they walked more carefully this time, and they could be described as tiptoeing. It's never easy to follow a patrol for a long time, and they're not stupid, and if there's a noise overhead, they'll notice it gradually.

The patrol is becoming more and more vigilant, and if they follow up, they will probably be exposed. Hal wondered if he should stop and see the right time to follow another patrol.

But they don't have to do it anymore. As soon as he was twenty yards away, Hal saw a very special room in the distance through the vent.

It was obviously a small room locked by a wooden door, but there were four Zhang people guarding the door of this room at the same time, and it was a little unusual. In addition, there are just two pairs of patrols from the two intersections next to each other at the same time, staggering in front of this room. If you say that this room is not weird, I'm afraid no one will believe it, right?

"Hehe, I found Wang. Husky chuckled, "That must be the treasure room, we're going to get rich." "Hmm... Hal looked up slightly uneasily as he studied the way into the treasure room: "Turn left at the fork in the road. Be careful, everybody. "Of course. Calvin replied without thinking.

The Leopard Man led the group forward, turning the fork in the road and going through the ventilation duct to directly above the treasure room. The vent in front of them leads to the treasure room, and from here, the treasure beckons to them.

"Hey, hey, treasure treasure, Husky is coming—" Husky moved his body to the vent, and even walked past Hal .

"Wait, don't be anxious!" In desperation, Hal grabbed Husky's tail with one hand, "Observe the situation first before meowing!" "Uh! Even you are like this!" Husky was very upset that his tail was caught, and in retaliation, he also pulled Howl's cat tail hard: "Then you should quickly observe Wang!" "Meow!" Hal let out a low whimper, and at the same time leaned his head close to the vent, checking the situation in the "treasure room" through the iron fence of the vent.

It's a dark room. There's no one in there, so it's no wonder it's so dark. That's right, a bunch of treasures are in it, and no one usually needs to touch it, and there is no one to guard the room, so it's a matter of course.

"Hmm... It was too dark for Hal to say if there was any danger in the room.

"Not already?" asked Husky impatiently.

"Wait, it's a dark room, Hal can't see meow clearly... The leopard boy continued to look through the vent. The room was quite large, but there were only four torches around it, and the light of the fire could not shine on every corner of the room. The room is filled with all kinds of uneven shadows, which can hide many traps.

Despite this, there doesn't seem to be any other figure here, and nothing moves. At the very least, the chapter guards in charge of ambushing here wouldn't be stupid enough to make this room so dim - they couldn't see the intruders clearly, and they wouldn't be able to ambush them?

So, since there is nothing in the room, it can be considered safe?

But why? Howl's instincts told him that there seemed to be a murderous motive in this room. Is there really no problem going down from here?
