Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
Fate is always full of all kinds of wonderful coincidences, just as when the temple first learned of Chen An's whereabouts and was about to be arrested quickly, Chen An's side took the lead in escaping towards the fifth layer of the Demon Sealing Tower, and the two once again staged a scene of passing by.
Two months have passed since the last large-scale blockade and arrest, and the gods who had been ambushed at the fourth-layer altar with the mentality of waiting for the rabbit have long lost patience, and now the biggest problem that Chen An and Alex are facing is not these very few gods who may be hiding in the shadows and have not given up, but the temple guards who are still sticking to the sixth-layer altar.
According to Alex's information, all those who pass through the sixth altar need to be carefully examined by the temple guards, and if they do not listen to the dissuasion and forcibly use the altar to teleport, they will be treated as blasphemous accomplices and killed. Although Chen An could teleport all the way down the fourth layer altar, the problem was that once he teleported to the sixth layer, he would inevitably be exposed to the eyes of the temple guards, and the result of continuing to forcibly teleport would undoubtedly be frantically pursued by the temple guards.
The strength of the Shrine Guards is well known, basically every Shrine Guard has the strength to independently break through the 4-7 floors of the Demon Sealing Tower, and a complete Temple Guard can even easily go back and forth on the 8-11 floors of the Demon Sealing Tower, where only the strong are qualified to survive.
Therefore, it is very unrealistic to attack and kill the Templar Guards head-on.
"Ann, do you think about how you will deal with the temple guards on the sixth altar?"
After scouting the nearest altar to them and making sure that there were no ambushes around, Alex quietly returned to the place where Chen An was hiding, and at the same time expressed his worries.
"You can't attack by force, you can only outwit. Chen An said with a solemn expression. "The best thing I can think of is to divert the tiger away from the mountain and lure the temple guards stationed at the sixth altar to other places as much as possible. β
"As far as I know, each altar on the sixth floor has a temple team of seven people, if it's two or three, maybe I can still do it, but seven people I'm afraid it won't work. Alex said with a headache. "As long as the other party's brain is fine, no matter how we tempt them, they will definitely send someone to stay behind in case of accidents. β
"Then lower the conditions, since we can't lure them all away, is there a way to divert their attention from the altar in a short period of time, so as to take advantage of this gap to forcibly teleport down from the altar?" Chen An pondered.
"No, when the altar teleportes, it causes a wonderful fluctuation, and even if we can divert their attention, the teleportation fluctuation of the altar cannot hide their perception. Alex shook his head.
β...... I really can't help it. Chen Anku sat on the ground and said in a depressed mood.
"Perhaps, I can lure some powerful monsters on the sixth layer to attack the altar's temple guards!" Alex hesitated for a moment.
"No, with your current strength, it is simply your own death to lure the monsters of the sixth layer! I will not agree with you to take this risk. Chen An categorically objected.
"Otherwise, I will show up and lure the temple guards of the altar to arrest me, and then they will definitely go out en masse, and then you will take the opportunity to ......"
"Alex, that's enough!"
Chen An stopped Alex's thought of risking his own life, and he was so angry that he covered his mouth and couldn't help coughing violently.
"Ann, I was wrong, don't be angry, I won't joke with my life anymore!" Alex said quickly.
Trying to calm the pain in his chest, Chen An looked at Alex, who looked nervous, and at this time, he was suddenly stunned, as if he had thought of something.
......
The altar on the sixth floor of the Demon Tower.
With a burst of red light, the temple guards guarding near the altar immediately looked vigilantly at the center of the altar, and the next moment, a middle-aged man with a heavy backpack on his shoulders appeared in front of him.
"Stop! Get down and be checked!"
Liam, the leader of the squad responsible for leading the Templar Guard, stepped forward and commanded habitually.
The middle-aged man seemed startled, and turned to look frightened and cowered as he walked out of the altar and bowed his head to Liam.
"My lord, I'm not the blasphemous suspect you want to arrest!"
"It's up to us to decide whether the suspect is a suspect or not!"
Liam had a cold face, and then gave a look to the subordinates beside him, and then, two cold guards in armor walked in front of the middle-aged man, one searched the other party's backpack, and the other pinched the middle-aged man's face, and only let the middle-aged man go after confirming that there was no problem with the other party's backpack and that the person was not disguised.
"Where are you going?
Seeing the middle-aged man crying and packing up his messy backpack without tears, Liam asked casually.
"Yes, my sir, my fellow squads are waiting for me to bring them water and food. The middle-aged man hurriedly replied.
"You're a logistician?" Liam raised an eyebrow. seems to see through the strength of a middle-aged man at a glance. "Which of the Divine Favorites team is Bela Oka?"
"Lord Hui, I belong to the Eagle Squad. The middle-aged man lowered his head and said.
"Flying Eagle Squad?!"
Liam turned his head to look at the vice-captain beside him, who nodded in retrospect. "It is true that such a team entered the seventh layer of the Sealing Demon Tower a few days ago, but they did not teleport from this altar at that time. β
"I see, you can go. β
Liam suddenly lost interest after hearing this, and waved his hand directly at the middle-aged man to signal that he could leave.
In a moment, the middle-aged man packed his backpack and teleported down to the seventh floor through the altar.
I don't know how long it took, the middle-aged man returned to the sixth layer of the altar, and the temple guards in charge of the inspection saw him and waved directly to signal that he could pass.
Who would have thought that less than half an hour later, the middle-aged man appeared on the sixth floor altar again.
"Heh!Why are you again?!"
When Liam saw him, he couldn't help but ask.
"My lord, that's right, someone in the team was not satisfied with the food I brought just now, and insisted that I go back to Bella Oka and change it again. β
The middle-aged man grimaced, and opened his backpack to reveal the fruit jerky filled inside.
"Tsk, you're not going to offend anyone on your team, are you?" Liam shook his head and laughed.
"Perhaps, the team's Geffel has been making things difficult for me lately, and I don't know where to offend him. The middle-aged man couldn't help but complain.
"Okay, okay, let's go, maybe it's too late for the other party to blame you again." Liam waved his hand and turned away.
"Thank you for your understanding. β
The middle-aged man put his backpack back on his back and disappeared in front of everyone's eyes in a burst of red light.
After the middle-aged man appeared on the seventh floor, he quickly moved away from the altar, and when he walked to a remote and uninhabited mountain forest, he put down his heavy backpack and looked around left and right before breathing a sigh of relief.
He squatted down and quickly opened the backpack, and at the same time threw all the food in it aside, and after a while, he fished out Chen An from the innermost part of the backpack with his eyes closed and barely breathing.
He took out the water bag from his waist, unplugged the wooden stopper, and sprinkled the water in it on Chen An's face, and kept patting Chen An's face with his hand and calling his name.
After a long time, Chen An finally opened his eyes slowly.
"Ann!?you're awake?!!It's so good!"
After seeing that Chen An was unharmed, the middle-aged man suddenly seemed to be in prostration.
Alex...... Did we succeed?" The first thing he did when he woke up, Chen An asked about the current situation.
"Of course, we succeeded, and now we are on the seventh floor of the Demon Sealing Tower. The middle-aged man reached out and wiped his face, re-revealing Alex's original appearance and smiling. "Ann! this is a great way to go, who would have thought that we could successfully avoid the interrogation of the Templar Guards in this way, but it was really heart-wrenching just now, especially when I was interrogated by the Templar Guards for the second time, you don't know how much I was afraid that they would re-check the backpack ......"
"Hehe......"
Listening to Alex keep telling about what happened before, Chen An's mood became a lot happier.
In order to perfect this plan, he also deliberately made up a decent story through the bits and pieces of information he had recently collected, considering the vigilance of the temple guards, the food in the backpack in the first operation was actually a disguise, specifically serving the plan of the second and third operations, originally Chen An planned to let Alex put him in the backpack when he returned to the altar for the third time, but Alex thought that the second time would be enough to make the temple relax the inspection of the backpack, and the third time would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the temple guardsγ
Chen An believed Alex's judgment, and the facts also proved Alex's judgment, and they really succeeded in evading the investigation of the Temple Guards.
As Chen An's cough and breath problems might attract the attention of the Temple Guards, Chen An took the initiative to ask Alex to knock him unconscious and put him in his backpack to avoid accidents.
There is no doubt that the success of anything depends on careful planning and careful preparation.
Although the plan was a little hasty, fortunately they succeeded.
"Let's get out of here quickly, because there are many things in our plan that can't stand up to scrutiny, and once the other party reacts, they will definitely follow and chase them. β
Chen An said as he put the messy food on the ground back into his backpack.
"I've heard from a veteran deity that there is an underground cave on the seventh floor, where the terrain is so intricate that we can consider taking refuge there. Alex helped pack his backpack and said.
"How dangerous is it there?" said Chen.
"There are a lot of monsters, but their strength is weak, and judging from the description of that senior god, I think I should be able to barely deal with it with my ability. β
