Chapter 621: Eliminating the Dark Guard Camp
Chapter 621: Eliminating the Dark Guard Camp
His pace quickened unconsciously, but his heart grew colder and colder, and finally he began to run. When he arrived at the secret guard rest area, the doors were all closed. He tried to push open a room at random, but the door seemed to be locked from the inside, and the door did not move at all. He raised his foot and kicked the door open.
The room was dark. He took out a tinder from his body, lit it and then entered the house. There was no sign of anyone and no signs of fighting in the room. It was even very strange. There was an arc in the quilt, and the shape showed that someone should have been lying on the bed and sleeping.
If this was not done intentionally, the most likely scenario would be that the entire Dark Guard Battalion had rebelled.
The boss realized that something was wrong and did not linger any longer. He immediately walked out of the house and left the Dark Guard Camp as quickly as possible.
And behind him, Lu Beichen followed like a shadow.
Li Country is neither big nor small. If you rely solely on the system to find the location of those zombies, it will take too long, so Lu Beichen chose this method and let him take him to the monster breeding ground.
The reason why Cheng Nan mentioned the Fourth Prince in front of the boss was that he discovered during the mourning period that the Fourth Prince was on the opposite side of the Crown Prince. If there was anyone who was most opposed to the Crown Prince's ascension to the throne, it would be the Fourth Prince.
He was the prince who wanted to change the status quo the most, but the late emperor did not value his talent. All he wanted was a puppet. He did not need a son with his own ideas. He even thought of sending this son directly to the border.
But I couldn't find a reasonable explanation for the time being, so it was put on hold.
The Fourth Prince has been tracking down the whereabouts of the strange man, but there has been no good progress for so long. The late emperor is keeping a close eye on him. Once he makes a mistake, he can be sent away with justification. He can only do it in secret, so his efficiency is naturally low.
When the previous emperor passed away, his chance came. The incompetent prince had only women on his mind and was much easier to deal with than his father. He had already prepared a big drama and was waiting for the prince to fall into the trap, but an accident happened, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of.
The Fourth Prince secretly had many supporters, and when the Crown Prince died, he became the most popular.
The secret guards have been competing with the Fourth Prince's secret forces. Once the Fourth Prince successfully succeeds to the throne, his secret guard camp will be in danger, and the Fourth Prince will never let him go.
Some even thought that the strange incident in the Dark Guard Camp was caused by the Fourth Prince.
After all, the other party is a prince. When the late emperor was alive, although he was a little afraid of this son, he never thought of killing him. After all, he was his own son. He just wanted to send him away. As long as he didn't ruin his good deeds, he could do whatever he wanted.
He didn't have much time to think. The captain of the dark guards felt that the entire dark guard camp was no longer safe. Why did they control the entire dark guard camp but not attack him? He didn't know why at the moment and could only escape first.
Suddenly, an arrow shot towards him. The captain of the dark guards could sit in this position, so his fighting ability should not be underestimated. Just when the arrow was about to hit him, the captain of the dark guards stopped the arrow with his bare hands.
He threw the arrow accurately in the direction it came from. Fearing that more dangers were waiting for him, he did not want to fight any longer. Instead, he jumped a few times and disappeared into the night.
What he didn't know was that even though he was very good at Qinggong, there was a big man who could use the "Lingbo Weibu" and was following him like a shadow.
Half an hour later, the leader of the secret guards stopped to rest. In his haste to escape, he had used up all his strength and was now somewhat exhausted. He leaned against a tree stump, gasping for breath.
Of course, he did not forget to be alert to his surroundings. He did not dare to take the water route. If someone was really ambushing in the river, his chances of escape would be slim. Therefore, he absolutely could not take the water route. The only way was through a large canyon, and he needed to climb up from the canyon.
Although it is dangerous, it is safer to climb the Grand Canyon than to be trapped in the river.
After resting for four or five minutes, the leader of the secret guards did not stop and headed towards the Grand Canyon.
The other party had a strong sense of perception, so Lu Beichen could only follow him from a distance and did not get close. However, the direction he was taking made him a little confused, as it was a completely opposite route to the water route.
Despite his doubts, he still followed closely. He was skilled and courageous. Even if he had bad intentions, as long as he still had the ability to react, nothing would happen.
The leader of the dark guards stopped only when there was no road at the end. He pulled out a dagger from his waist and began to climb up.
Although it was not as dark as stretching one's hand in front of one's face in the dark, the visibility was very low. The leader of the secret guards did not have much time. He could not wait until dawn to set off. Once someone caught up with him here, his last way of survival would be blocked.
The enemy was able to swallow up his secret guard camp silently. The strength of the enemy was not simple. He understood the principle that there are always people better than you.
I had no choice but to climb up, and I almost fell down several times because of the obstructed vision.
Lu Beichen watched the whole process. The cliff wall was quite slippery. If someone fell from a height, he would be smashed to pieces.
Without rushing up, he found a big tree below and sat down. He took out a chicken leg from his space ring and chewed it, but his eyes never left the cliff.
It’s not that he was afraid that the other party would escape, but he was afraid that he would accidentally fall down. He needed to have enough time to rescue him. At this critical juncture, he couldn’t let the other party have an accident.
Until the leader of the secret guards climbed to a certain height, Lu Beichen teleported to close the distance between them. At this moment, he was on a protruding rock, overlooking the canyon from here, giving people a sense of oppression. If you look closely, it looks a bit like an upside-down skull.
From a psychological point of view, the person who chose to locate the Dark Guard Camp here must be extremely dark inside and likes the feeling of holding great power.
Halfway up the climb, the captain of the dark guards had already spent two hours, and the sky was gradually getting brighter. Only then did he feel a little relieved. During the climb, he did not relax his perception of the ground below.
Until now, no pursuers have come after him. He has been climbing for so long and is already exhausted both physically and mentally. In order to replenish his energy, he can only pick fruits growing on the cliff to satisfy his hunger.
Fortunately, there were enough fruits on the cliff, so we filled our stomachs, rested for a while, and then continued on our way.
It was not until noon that we climbed up the cliff.
He looked down and could not see the canyon from above as it was covered by a thick layer of white fog. If he had not come here by water, who would have thought that there would be such a dark camp in this dangerous canyon, which was full of weirdness.
The leader of the dark guards narrowed his eyes slightly. Even though the dark guard camp was wiped out, there was no panic or heartache in his eyes. As long as the monster was in his hands, he would take back what he had lost sooner or later. At this moment, he was planning to leave Xuanyuan.
