Beast Throne

Chapter 708
"Your Highness, there are demons patrolling ahead, and I have no way to avoid them." In a dilapidated building in the southeast corner of the imperial city, a man hid in a room and stared ahead for a while, whispering.

This seems to be just an ordinary investigation team. The man is the investigator in the team. When encountering a situation that cannot be handled, he naturally needs to report to the captain and let the captain make a decision.However, if someone who didn't know saw this scene, he would definitely feel very strange, because there was nothing behind the man, and he was the only one in the whole room.

This person is none other than Su Tu's confidant, the bald man.Although there seems to be no one else behind him, if you observe carefully, you can still find some clues.For example, the whole room was extremely dark, and some vague shadows could be vaguely seen on the walls.However, under the cover of darkness, as long as you don't look closely, it's hard to notice any abnormalities.

This is the special ability of the Shadow Cloak.The shadow silkworm is a void creature, and the shadow cloak is made by weaving the silk thread spit out by the shadow silkworm with a special technique, so it naturally has the characteristics of a void creature.After being stimulated by the secret method, a place similar to a void space can be formed in the shadow cloak, and the people hiding in it are equivalent to disappearing from the standard space, and cannot be found no matter whether it is visual inspection or spiritual detection.As for how many people can be hidden, it depends on the ability of the shadow mage.

The bald man is a special kind of shadow mage, he can't use curse spells at all, but he is good at void, and can even make a shadow cloak.However, because of his limited ability, when using the shadow cloak, he can't completely hide people, leaving a faint shadow.If it is used in broad daylight, it is still easy to be discovered, so Su Tu and his party choose to act at night, using the night to make up for the shortcomings of the Shadow Cloak.

According to previous investigations, there are not many demons in the southeast area, only a small number of patrol teams.This is easy to understand. After all, all the surviving humans in the imperial city are imprisoned, and humans are no different from food in the eyes of demons.In addition, most low-level demons have low intelligence and self-control is basically zero. If the demons are allowed to come and go here casually, even with the order of the demon king, the hungry demons may not be able to control their desires and start killing.

Once a demon makes a move, other demons will definitely swarm up, and at that time, they can't control it even if they want to control it.Therefore, although there are important hostages held in the southeast region, the number of demons is the least.

According to Su Tu's plan, after the summoning was successful, everyone except the bald man hid in the shadow cloak, and then the bald man sneaked in with the shadow cloak alone, and released everyone after arriving at the destination.

Doing so is somewhat helpless.Picas once relied on the ability of the Shadow Cloak to successfully sneak into the treasure room of the Holy See of Light, which shows that Picasso can act even in the void inside the Shadow Cloak, and he will not recognize the wrong way.Although the bald man can also enter the Shadow Void, he will be plunged into the darkness and can't see anything, he can't even move, not to mention relying on the Shadow Cloak to sneak in secretly.

As for why this happened, no one knew, the bald man tried countless times, but he couldn't change this situation.In desperation, he could only stay outside alone.For this plan, Su Tu even specially found an assassin who was proficient in sneaking as a teacher, and trained the bald man for a period of time, so that he had the ability to avoid the eyes of patrolling demons.

The bald head did not live up to Sutu's hopes. Before that, he had successfully avoided several demon patrols.But he is not a professional shadow assassin after all, and he really has no good way to deal with special situations.

"How many, can't we go around?" Sutu's voice sounded in the bald man's mind.The void inside the shadow cloak is like another world, no matter what you do inside it will not affect the outside world, Su Tu's words can only be heard by the bald man, the caster.In other words, now Su Tu has put his life in the hands of the bald man. If the bald man doesn't let them out, then Su Tu and others will never see the light of day again.

"It's hard." The bald man shook his head subconsciously, and whispered: "The patrols we met before were only composed of Nightmare Knights and Nightmare, and the subordinates can handle it. But now this patrol team also has hell dogs. , I'm not sure. And as far as my subordinates have seen, this is not the only patrol with hellhounds."

"There are hell dogs, how is it possible?" Su Tu looked a little surprised, and then fell silent.Among all kinds of demons, nightmares are quite special.Demons are undoubtedly cruel and bloodthirsty, and Nightmare, which looks like a unicorn on the outside, is no exception. Especially after evolving into a Nightmare Knight, the killing becomes even more insane.In the melee of the army, the nightmare knights with a small number can often harvest the most life.

This is possible not only because the Nightmare Knight is powerful, but also because the Nightmare Knight does not seem to be able to eat.The other demons eat as they kill. After killing the opponent with one claw, they might stuff it into their mouths and chew on it. This will naturally affect the efficiency.The Nightmare Knight is an exception. After evolution, their whole body is covered with thick armor. They cannot see where their mouths are, and they seem to have lost the ability to eat.Probably because of this, Nightmare Knight is more crazy than other demons when killing, and he will not stop until he kills all the targets.

The dwarves choose generals. Although the nightmare knights are also bloodthirsty, at least they will not attack humans because of hunger. It is more appropriate to let the nightmare knights guard them.But the appearance of the Cerberus here is somewhat unexpected.

Cerberus is the exact opposite of Nightmare Knight, they are the most gluttonous demons, and they never seem to get enough.Someone once suspected that the Cerberus evolved into a two-headed Cerberus just to grow a mouth and increase the ability to snatch food.Let the Cerberus guard the hostages, it is extremely difficult to guarantee that they will not "guard themselves".

Of course, from the very beginning, Sutu didn't think that the demons would not attack the residents they imprisoned, as they promised.After all, the number of residents in the city is as high as hundreds of thousands, and even the Tianyang Empire itself cannot liquidate it.As long as the demons do not kill on a large scale, this hostage card can continue to be played, and it is not surprising that Cerberus will appear here.

But the problem lies in the ability of the Cerberus, which makes it very difficult for Su Tu and his party.You must know that demons like Cerberus have this name not because they look like dogs, even the most ferocious dogs are not one-tenth of them.The reason why they are called hell dogs is because their sense of smell is very sensitive.

There was only one bald man, and after learning stealth for a while, it was not difficult to fool the Nightmare Knight's eyes.In addition, he is a shadow mage himself, and with the help of shadow magic, even if a devil sweeps him with his consciousness, he is confident that he will not notice it.But for the smell, the bald man really has nothing to do.

The bald man quietly waited for Sutu's instructions, and at the same time observed the situation of the patrol team.According to the current situation, unless the hellhound has a cold, he will definitely be found as long as he keeps going.It's not hide and seek, not only can he not be seen, but he can't let the demons know that someone is sneaking in.The plan has progressed to this point, and a small mistake may ruin all previous efforts.

"Let us out!" After a while of silence, Su Tu's voice came again.

"Your Highness?" the bald man was startled.It's not hard to guess what Su Tu meant. He really couldn't find a way not to be discovered by the Cerberus dogs, and his stealth could only go so far.The next step may be to go all out and kill him as soon as possible.According to the bald man's understanding of Su Tu, His Royal Highness dislikes accidents very much. As long as there is a slight possibility to follow the plan, Su Tu will definitely not make other choices.

"Don't ask too much, act immediately." Su Tu's tone was firm.

"Yes!" The bald man didn't dare to hesitate, stretched out his hand and grabbed behind him, a pitch-black cloak appeared in his hand instantly, and the strange darkness behind him also disappeared, and the figures of Su Tu and others appeared out of thin air .

Probably because he was not used to being in the shadow void for a long time, Su Tu first took a deep breath to restore himself to his best condition.The people behind him were no exception, and they all adjusted their breaths. After all, they couldn't feel any magical elements in the shadow void, which made them very insecure for magicians.

After a simple adjustment, Su Tu carefully observed the situation in front of him.He is a wind-type ability user, and his sensory ability is the strongest among all departments.The bald man didn't exaggerate the facts. He noticed the existence of dozens of two-headed hellhounds within Sutu's detection range.It seems that the demons also considered that someone might secretly sneak in to rescue the hostages, so they had already taken precautions.

It's too easy for the demons to prevent a rescue, they just need to know someone is sneaking in.At that time, it is only necessary to threaten the life of the hostage, and the infiltrator will leave naturally.After all, there are several 10 people, the target is too big, and it is very concentrated.In case the demons are angered, several big demons teaming up to cast hellfire can kill hundreds of thousands of lives in an instant, and no one dares to take this risk.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" Seeing that Su Tu remained silent for a long time, another man dressed as a warrior stepped forward and asked with a long knife on his back.

Although they are all confidantes, there is also competition between them.Their main purpose of this operation is to rescue the residents of the city, avoiding fighting as much as possible.If everything goes well, the bald man and other magicians with special abilities will be the ones who deserve the most credit. These warriors basically have nothing to do.I don't have my own share of such a big achievement, so I don't have any ideas in my heart.

Su Tu sighed in his heart. He couldn't follow the plan, which made him somewhat uncomfortable.However, as the leader, it is naturally impossible for Su Tu to express his true thoughts on his face.

"Next... Let's go all out, let's go straight there, as fast as we can! Let's go!" As soon as Su Tu finished speaking, he immediately yelled, and his whole body turned into a whirlwind, rushing directly towards the eye-catching one. patrol team.
