Chapter Twenty-Seven: Eavesdropping on Secrets

Perched atop a hill and numerous outposts from the base of the mountain to the ridge, Pointe-Noire Castle is equipped not only with mercenary handles, but also with a large number of mechanized reconnaissance tools, such as acoustic scanning, thermal induction scanning, and even more advanced vibration scanning devices.

Illusions generally only work on spirits and cannot affect the existence of matter. Machines have no spirits, and illusionists or psychic mages cannot fool machines with illusions, and it is almost impossible to try to deceive the world with ordinary illusions.

The reconnaissance system of Black Horn Castle is very advanced, and it can be seen through with quite clever stealth and stealth skills, so it is difficult for thieves and killers to penetrate it.

Zhang Mu used the Heaven Covering Demon Skill, so that the energy evenly covered the surface of the body, blending into the darkness, regardless of each other, even if you looked closely, you could only see a vague outline. As a powerhouse of the Heavenly Spirit Realm, Zhang Mu could perceive the distribution of the reconnaissance energy network. When trying to walk into it, the energy touches the body and is automatically absorbed and dissolved, without generating a feedback message.

Very good.

Can evade machine detection!

The Heaven Covering Demon Skill is extremely profound, and the energy it produces is not all phantom attribute liliang, but also part of it is composed of dark energy. Dark energy is material energy, and its biggest characteristic is to devour and absorb, in fact, in the final analysis, the principle of thief stealth spells is the same. It can't be to absorb light, thus creating a stealth effect, thieves can do it through skills, and Zhang Mu can also play the same role through the Covering the Sky Demon Skill.

Zhang Mu's confidence has increased greatly.

Immediately did not hesitate, used the cover of the Heaven Covering Demon Skill to avoid the outpost, climbed to the top of the mountain, and stood in front of the castle.

The defense of the Dark Horn was seamless, not only were there countless guards on the periphery, but the castle was also enchanted, and as soon as Zhang Mu reached the top of the mountain, he saw a layer of dark red enchantment, like a transparent cover in the shape of a square, completely enveloping the castle in it. The strength of the enchantment energy is average, and with the strength of Zhang Mutian's Spirit Realm, he is fully capable of breaking it.

However, as the core of the Dark Horn, let alone breaking the barrier, the slightest sound is in danger of attracting a siege.

"What should I do?"

Zhang Mu lightly touched the enchantment with his fingers, but was bounced away by a huge reaction force, the energy of the enchantment was pure magical energy, and Zhang Mu used [Elemental Covenant] to elementalize his body It was useless, and he couldn't pass through the enchantment.

Just when it's at a loss.

A shadow appeared in the barrier, slowly levitating, turning into a human youth.

Zhang Mu's eyes lit up, "Scorpion!" ”

The scorpion was wearing a black ghost face and a huge black cloak, and he didn't know what he had done, when suddenly there was a fluctuation in the barrier. Zhang Mu's position cracked, and a gap appeared in the enchantment membrane for one person to pass through. Zhang Mu was very surprised, looked left and right to make sure that there was no one, and immediately walked in, and the enchantment membrane closed automatically.

The scorpion said lightly, "You're too slow." ”

"How did you get in?"

The scorpion didn't answer, and a cold and hoarse voice came out: "It's not important, I found the position of the leader of the Dark Horn." ”

Zhang Mu followed behind the scorpion, and the castle knew that someone was coming, and the city gate of the south gate automatically opened. After Zhang Mu walked into the city gate, in the corner of the urn city, there were more than a dozen corpses, all of which were cut throats and heart-wrenched, and the death was exactly the same, but there was no leakage of the slightest smell of blood, and the surface of the corpse pile was covered with a layer of shadows.

There are more than ten figures on the city wall, each holding a torch and standing on it meticulously, all dressed as black-horned mercenaries, but they are invisible to the scorpion and Zhang Mu who walked in, and they are regarded as air. Zhang Mu knew in his heart that these mercenaries guarding the city had already been killed by the scorpion, and those standing on them were all impostors turned into shadow clones.

Zhang Mu felt a chill down his spine.

Scorpions are too perverted!

Silently control the castle in and out.

"More than 70 high-explosive bombs were installed in the castle, mainly in vents, sewers and some hidden locations." The scorpion handed a controller to Zhang Mu, "This is a detonation device, which can blow up half of the castle." Used when fleeing to create chaos. ”

Zhang Mu put away the controller, "How do I get in?" I won't be a shadow. ”

The scorpion didn't speak, it melted into the ground, turned into a shadow, and swooped into the castle.

The six shadow clones walked down the city and continued to lead the way for Zhang Mu.

The scorpion's character is cautious, and he must be in control of the situation, so he is so bold, Zhang Mu didn't even ask, and followed the scorpion in with confidence, performing the magic skill of covering the sky, hiding his body, and keeping a distance of about 50 meters from the six shadow clones.

While passing by the castle gardens, they suddenly encountered a patrol in armor, and they spotted several people.

"Hey, gatekeeper, why don't you stand guard and run here?"

A shadow clone asked, "You haven't noticed, is there something strange?" ”

"What's so strange?" The captain of the patrol said: "You better not be lazy, two elders died today, and the regimental commander was furious and was about to hit the muzzle of the gun, don't say I didn't warn you." ”

The patrol team came over, no one raised torches, they were all black elves, and the black elves' night vision ability was very strong, so they didn't need torches. When they walked less than ten meters, a figure appeared silently behind the patrol, with a black cloak, a black ghost face, and a shadow all over their bodies, like death in the dark night.

Several shadows stretched out from the ground, suddenly strangled the necks of the two patrol members, and dozens of shadows stretched out, like tentacles and tentacles, silently covering their mouths and noses, entangling their hands and feet, the two couldn't move, staring in horror, but they were powerless to resist, and were dragged directly into the corner, without sound.

The companions in front of them didn't even notice the change that was close at hand.

The shadows continue to spread.

Two more pathfinders were restrained and dragged away.

When the patrol leader came forward, the shadow spread further, and two of Zuihou's men were also restrained. The patrol leader felt a trace of strangeness, and as soon as he turned around, a shadow like a sharp sword stabbed silently into his chest, chest, and eyes, penetrating his body, leaving not a drop of blood.

The six doppelgangers turned into afterimages and pounced, quietly solving and dealing with the patrol team. The corpses were dragged into the woods, and the six bodies changed into patrol members again, and continued to walk through the garden.

Several more teams of the Dark Horn were encountered, but no one suspected that the patrol team had finally come to the entrance of a temple after some twists and turns.

"Is this it?"

The scorpion whispered, "The strength of the guards here is very strong, and they can't be killed silently, I can disguise myself as an elder and bring you in." ”

The scorpion didn't use the clone, because the clone was too weak, and if it met a master, it might be a goof. first turned into a blurred shadow, and after the facial features were regenerated, he suddenly became a middle-aged black elf. The Black Elves are a branch of the Elves and belong to the Median Clan, known for their sinister nature and mastery of dark energy.

In the previous reconnaissance, the scorpion remembered the characteristics of a certain Black Elf Elder, and now disguised himself as an Elder.

Zhang Mu took off his cloak and put on a helmet, covered his face, dressed as an ordinary warrior, and followed the scorpion into the palace, when passing through the long corridor, Yujian had many guards. The guards inside are far ten times stronger than those outside, and there are often mid-to-late stage masters of earth spirits among the guards. The scorpion disguised himself as an elder with a high status, and successfully deceived the guards without being too embarrassed.

The two of them walked through several corridors, preparing to enter a closed door.

"Elder, please stop!"

The guards stopped the two.

The scorpion's application, tone, and tone were all exactly the same, and he asked coldly, "Can't I go in?" ”

The guards looked at each other and said, "The head of the regiment has already stipulated that when meeting with the envoy, no one is allowed to approach, including the elders, please don't embarrass us." ”

Emissary?

What messenger?

Zhang Mu was vigilant, the messenger sent by the mastermind behind the scenes?

The scorpion was expressionless, "You arrange a room for me, and I'll wait here." ”

"Yes!"

The guard opened a room next to him, and when the scorpion closed the door, Zhang Mu put on his black cloak again, and checked the window first, the window was locked, and there was a vent, but it was very narrow and couldn't get out at all.

The scorpion said beside him: "The target is talking in the secret room, I have checked the secret room, blessed with protective magic, ordinary detection spells are completely useless, and it is very difficult to penetrate. ”

"Not even you?"

"The grasp of infiltrating is less than 5 percent."

"It's really cautious!" Zhang Mu waved his hand at the scorpion, "You get out first, I have a way to listen to them." ”

The scorpion took a step back: "I'm in the castle." ”

β€œweishenmeοΌŸβ€

"I found something." The scorpion turned around and slowly turned into a shadow, "I'll get it." ”

After saying that, it disappeared in a flash.

Zhang Mu took out a few precious pills from his backpack and took them, and then changed into equipment to enhance his spirit, his spirit suddenly increased by more than 100 points, and he suddenly released his soul liliang, covering a large area.

This castle is protected by a magic array, and the spiritual energy is easily disturbed, and the range that Zhang Mu can sense is no more than 1 mile away. Because he is not proficient, he can't lock the target from the perspective of the mind, so he generally has to lock it with the naked eye first, and then use his mind control to attack accurately.

"Although there are a lot of mental fluctuations, there are two obvious differences." Zhang Mu felt two unusually strong spiritual fluctuations, "A powerhouse at the Heavenly Spirit Level? How is it possible, isn't there more than one Heavenly Spirit powerhouse in the Dark Horn?

Zhang Mu was a little surprised.

Zhonghai City has a population of 20 million, and there are dozens of strong people in the Heavenly Spirit, and ninety percent of them are official high-level figures.

Except for the Black Horn Leader, there can be no Heavenly Spirit powerhouse.

Zhang Mu became very cautious, carefully blending the two consciousnesses. One is in the early stage of the Heavenly Spirit, the other is in the middle stage of the Heavenly Spirit, the Heavenly Spirit Realm is extremely sensitive to energy, if Zhang Mu is not a strong Heavenly Spirit, the moment his soul is shrouded in the past, he will be detected by the other party. Although he has the strength of the Heavenly Spirit, he still has to be careful.

The two seemed to have just had an argument.

A hint of negativity can be felt in the mind.

One of them rebuked: "You'd better pay attention to me, otherwise once the flaws are revealed, years of hard work will be in vain!" ”

"Two right-hand men are dead, should it be forgotten?"

"As I said, it's all about the big picture!"

"Do you know whose commission it is? I can't refuse his request! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Zhang Mu read the conversation between the two, and then penetrated into the shallow memory respectively, and Zuihou got an amazing result.

The Heavenly Spirit Realm powerhouse who spoke first was not from Zhonghai City, he was a snake clan powerhouse who lived in the deep mountains more than 2,000 miles away from Zhonghai City...... He is an indigenous powerhouse in Saihai Province.

Natives infiltrate Zhonghai City?

Is Dark Horn really a spy for the Green Alliance?

What amazing news!

The other is the head of the Dark Corner, when he said the client, Zhang Mu hurriedly read his mind and found out the name of the person behind the scenes from the shallow consciousness, which is the main task of adventure infiltration.
