Home of the Brave

Chapter 129: Canyon Night Walk

"Wufeng Gorge" is a gorge located in the northwest corner of Sari City. Because of the rare winds in it, the tribes who came to participate in the selection ceremony used it as a place to moor the pontoons. Dozens of pontoons, large and small, are moored in the slender canyon. In order to prevent them from being blown away by the wind, these pontoons are anchored on the rock foundations on both sides of the canyon.

The moonlight of Haojie shone from above, and the pontoons were shining with silver brilliance in the clouds and mist at night, which looked like images in fantasy.

In the shadow of the canyon beyond the reach of moonlight, two figures are moving fast on the cliff wall of the canyon. The steep cliffs did not hinder their actions at all. The two figures passed through the canyon like a night wind, and quickly reached the target position without being noticed by anyone.

"That is the battleship of the Karan Birdman..." Dai Yang hid behind a raised rock platform, looking up at the huge red battleship above.

"It's pretty tightly guarded, I'm afraid it's not easy to sneak in from there." Ji Yao poked his head from behind the rock platform and looked at the sentry at the anchor.

Since Wingman’s pontoons were hovering in mid-air, the only way to approach from the ground was to climb up along the anchor chain, but this was also thought of by the other party. The Karanwings have sentries at several anchor positions. A group of six sentries guarded the anchors leading to the warship in a formation with no dead ends by the lighting of torches. In other words, it is almost impossible to slip on a battleship without disturbing them.

"Kill them?" Ji Yao showed an eager expression. "I can do it before they warn."

"No, it is still uncertain that they are behind the scenes." Dai Yang shook his head. Last night they only tracked the man in black to Wufeng Gorge. Although the Karan battleship in front of him was indeed the most suspicious one, Dai Yang did not want to make things too big until there was no definite evidence.

"If you want them to shut up, I have a better way, let's watch." Dai Yang stretched out his right hand, and saw the evil spirit gathering between his five fingers, condensing into a pitch-black feather in an instant.

"Bound Shadow? When did you learn this trick?" Ji Yao cried out in surprise.

"Siruda taught me, so I can't always trouble you, right?" Dai Yang shrugged his shoulders and said.

In fact, "Shadow Bound" is the ability of Wing Demon Siruda, which uses shadow and demonic energy to restrain opponents. While in Lanlos Town, Siruda used this trick to restrain the witch of Albers, and it also caused the trio of fools to suffer a lot. Just like Medusa’s “Evil Eye”, “Shadow Bound” was originally an ability that only Siruda can use, but because Dai Yang is the wing demon’s attendant, she can call Siruda’s power through the life pill. It can also use "shadow binding" in the way of demonic simulation.

It was the first time for Dai Yang to use this trick in actual combat, and he could not be sure of the 100% effect. He aimed at the nearest sentry, waved and shot the feather arrow out, and the feather arrow quietly sank into the ground under the sentry's feet. Dai Yang hid behind the rock platform and carefully observed the sentry's reaction, but after a long time, the other party still did not move. He didn't know whether it should be regarded as proof of success or invalidity.

"Idiot, don't you know if you try it?"

Ji Yao picked up a small stone and threw it at the sentry. The small stone hit the sentry's head. The sentry that was smashed did not move, but the sound of falling stones attracted the attention of the sentry next to him, and looked over here. Dai Yang was shocked and retracted his head, but fortunately, the other party only complained a few times in a low voice, and did not come to check.

Dai Yang waited behind the rock for five or six minutes, listening to nothing outside, and then poking his head out again, only to see that the sentry shot by the feather arrow was still stunned in place like a wood.

"It's so pitiful, your **** is too strong, he seems to be unable to even speak." Ji Yao commented in a tone that didn't matter to him.

"...The next time you do this kind of thing, first hello." Dai Yang glared at Ji Yao, then condensed into five feather arrows, and shot them one by one.

With the first successful experience, I will be familiar with it afterwards. Five feather arrows quietly shot into the shadows of the sentries, and the six sentries were restrained by the evil spirit without noticing them, and fell into a state of speechless and unable to move. So next, Dai Yang and Ji Yao went down to the anchor position without encountering any obstacles, and climbed along the upper chain to the huge battleship suspended in the air.

Originally, Dai Yang planned to go up to the deck in one go, but the end of the iron rope only reached the bottom of the battleship. The two of them hid in the shadows on the ship's side, thinking about their next move.

"How about trying to climb from the outside?" Ji Yao suggested.

"There is a moon tonight, I'm afraid it will be discovered..." Dai Yang thought about it, and held out his head to visit.

"who!"

Just as he just poked his head out of the shadows, such a shout suddenly sounded from above. The shocked Dai Yang hurriedly retracted his head, hiding his body in the shadow beyond the reach of the moonlight, holding his breath, but his heartbeat speeded up abruptly. If it is discovered, not only will the action tonight be ruined, but in the worst case, it may be pursued and killed by the entire Wingmen of Wufeng Gorge. Dai Yang condensed a feather arrow in his right hand, and a detached blade in his left hand, determined to kill immediately if the sentry came to inspect it.

"What? Is there an intruder?"

"I just seemed to see a figure shaking over there, but now it seems to be gone again..."

"Isn't it dazzling? Look, the sentinels below are still there."

"Well, maybe it's too nervous... Miss Aretha personally ordered to strengthen her guard, it won't work if she doesn't cheer up."

…Along with this conversation, the sentry patrolling the ship's side gradually moved away. It wasn't until the moment that he could no longer hear the footsteps that Dai Yang exhaled, raising his head to thank the lucky **** who sheltered them. However, from the side of Ji Yao, there was an excited voice.

"It's really exciting. We haven't played any games before."

"Stimulate you! Do you want to be chased by the wingmen of Wufeng Gorge? Take it seriously!"

Dai Yang corrected his jealous attitude, and then looked upwards with a sad face. Wingman’s eyesight was so good that he could easily see an ant hundreds of meters away. On such a moonlit night, it would be impossible to climb onto the deck without being noticed. Dai Yang thought about other plans, and the scene of the last time the Flying Dragon Battleship came to mind naturally came to mind.

"Right, there is this trick!"

Dai Yang thumped his hand in excitement, and then looked around, using the rope ladder on the outer side, quickly moved to the vicinity of the big hole made by Siruda in the side wall of the ship last time. Just as he expected, due to the rush of time, the Karan Wings did not have time to perfect the hole, and only used a small amount of thin wooden planks to fill it up. Although this small hole is nothing compared to the huge size of the flying dragon battleship, it is undoubtedly the best intrusion port at this time.

"...We go in from here."

Dai Yang cut off the enclosed plank with the parting blade, and turned his head to greet the Ji Yao behind him.

"You are waiting outside, I'll go in and see the situation..."

"Let's not."

Ji Yao showed a coquettish smile and bluntly refused. Just when Dai Yang heard the words, Ji Yao had already squeezed away the man, and jumped into the cabin from the entrance of the cave.

"Hey...hey, you guy..."

Dai Yang, who reacted, jumped in after a second, and heard two muffled noises the moment he landed. At the moment when he heard the sound, Dai Yang subconsciously assumed a fighting posture, but what he saw were two sentinels who had been knocked down to the ground, and the jealous demon clapping his hands gently beside him.

"Although it feels good to be taken care of, it would be a big mistake to think of us as a woman who must be taken care of?"

To the stunned man, Ming Ye pursed his lips to announce.

"...Really not cute at all." Dai Yang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head in response.

"Huh? Aren't we cute?"

Ji Yao tilted his head and looked at the man with a childish gaze. The immaculate smile of the fresh snow was really unspeakable and affectionate. Although he knew that the other party was deliberately pretending to be cute, but Dai Yang couldn't help but stagnate. The throat was trembling, and it took a long time to swallow the suffocated breath, and then waved his hand in annoyance.

"...Let's go, go and see what the birdmen are hiding on the boat."

"Yes, sir." Ji Yao smiled and followed the man enthusiastically.

※※※

Dai Yang and Ming Ye searched the Flying Dragon battleship. Because it is not certain that the man in black must be related to the Karan Birdman, the classic scheme of capturing prisoners and asking confessions cannot be adopted. However, in terms of common sense, generally the more important things are stored in hidden places, and when it comes to the most hidden places on the flying dragon battleship, it is undoubtedly the ship that is located at the bottom of the battleship and is protected by layers of siding. Cang—According to this line of thinking, the two have a clear direction for their actions.

The mineral lamp hung on the bulkhead emits dim light, which separates light and dark spaces in the cabin. The figure of the black-haired youth and Ji Yao sneaked in the narrow space of light and shadow, and soon came to the lowest level of the cabin. Food, water, and heavy ballast were piled up in the lowermost cabin, but other than that, nothing suspicious was seen.

Dai Yang tried to open an oak barrel and saw layers of jerky piled up inside. He tried to pick up the chunks and bite, then frowned.

"So salty..." Dai Yang spit out the bacon in his mouth, revealing a disappointed look. "Is it wrong?"

"That's why we said that it is most convenient to catch a prisoner and ask for a confession." Ji Yao snorted. "We have at least a hundred ways for him to tell everything he knows."

"Hey, there is also the phrase ‘innocent’ in this world? Think about it when you really can’t find it."

Dai Yang waved his hand to dismiss Ji Yao's proposal. Unconvinced Ming Ye was about to say something, but when he saw the man suddenly tilted his head to look at the corner of the cabin, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"how?"

"There is a sound..." Dai Yang frowned and made a silent gesture to Ji Yao. "It's the sound of breathing, it seems to come from below..."
