Heroes' Prison

Chapter 211 - 209: Forcing Entry into Dragon City

Gradually, the skeleton horse beneath Huang Yi began to suffer irreversible injuries, and some bones even fell to the ground. Its body was covered with fierce wounds and was about to fall apart.

"Hm? This person looks so familiar, seems like the one who stole the heart of the King." Just then, a level 55 skeleton BOSS spotted Huang Yi, and the ghostly flames in its eye sockets suddenly flared up violently.

When Huang Yi stole the Heart of the Sand Thief King, he was in his Half-Beastmen form, and afterwards he was pursued by Ghost Ax. Black Wolf, so his appearance was remembered by every skeleton. Not only that, every sand wolf, every scorpion, and every rattlesnake in the Desolate Sands were eyes of the Sand Thief King, searching for that Half-Beastman.

However, Huang Yi had recently been in Beast King form, and neither the skeletons nor the desert creatures recognized him. Now that he had transformed back into a Half-Beastman, some skeletons finally recognized him.

"Once I capture him, the King will surely reward me handsomely!" The skeleton BOSS muttered excitedly, the ghostly flames surging as it charged toward Huang Yi.

"Bang!" The skeleton BOSS quickly closed in on Huang Yi and slashed down with a blade, bringing a howling wind.

Huang Yi dodged to the side, avoiding the strike, but the skeleton horse he rode was not so fortunate and was directly hit by the BOSS.

"Crack!" As expected, the skeleton horse was cleaved into a pile of broken bones and died beyond death.

Huang Yi was violently thrown off, falling among the sea of skeletons and facing countless skeletons!

With his current strength, he was no match for the skeleton BOSS and could only dodge!

"Pursuit!" He immediately used the Charge Skill, sprinting towards Dragon City with great speed.

After fusing the "Surprise Slash" rune, he could charge forward five times, like a phantom!

With five consecutive charges, Huang Yi almost instantly covered a distance of two hundred meters and evaded the skeleton BOSS’s attack!

Huang Yi continued to forge ahead. This time, without the skeleton horse to clear the way, he had to carve out a path of blood through the boundless sea of skeletons all by himself.

Every inch of ground around him was filled with dense skeletons, and Huang Yi could only move forward laboriously. But with the "Legal Protection" talent, he would only take the highest ten instances of damage per second, plus his Life Drain Attribute allowed him to Devour 5% Health Points for every skeleton killed, so for the moment, he was not in any life-threatening danger.

"Scorched Earth!"

"Judgment!"

Around Huang Yi, it was like Purgatory, as he made his difficult way toward Dragon City amidst the endless Scorched Earth and the screams of skeletons.

At this moment, his form appeared so small yet so tenacious, like a resolute flatboat in this unending ocean, bravely forging ahead against the waves.

"Die!" Another skeleton BOSS’s voice came from ahead, a giant skeleton about five or six meters tall wielding a war blade striding toward Huang Yi, crushing numerous smaller skeletons along the way, the ground seeming to tremble with its every step.

The skeleton BOSSes here were more densely packed. It became difficult for Huang Yi to continue to break through. His path ended there!

"Transform into Giant Beast!" Just as that skeleton BOSS was about to catch up, Huang Yi used his Racial Ultimate Skill and, in the nick of time, transformed into a ferocious Giant Beast and flew into the sky, continuing his flight toward Dragon City!

In Beast form, Huang Yi could fly quickly, much faster than in White Dragon Form, but the downside was that he could only fly for one minute, much shorter than the White Dragon Form!

The skeleton BOSSes on the ground could only look up helplessly at Huang Yi, flying higher and further up in the sky!

Huang Yi was not flying forward horizontally but was ascending at an angle, striving to fly higher up into the sky!

He became smaller and smaller until he gradually disappeared into the clouds, vanishing from the sight of the sea of skeletons below, completely out of combat.

Soon, half a minute had passed, and Huang Yi had climbed to a very high point. But he still couldn’t see Dragon City, the biting cold wind at that altitude blew against him, the bone-chilling cold penetrated his body, and his speeding figure climbing upwards resembled a meteor, violently rubbing against the atmosphere.

Quickly, a minute passed, Huang Yi was still half the distance from Dragon City, and his Giant Beast form had already faded! He transformed back into a Half-Beastman, beginning to fall towards the ground.

"Transform into White Dragon!" Huang Yi morphed into White Dragon Form, regaining his wings, stabilizing his posture, and began gliding slowly toward Dragon City.

The White Dragon had small-scale flight capability and large-scale gliding ability.

The gliding was much slower compared to the speed of the previous Giant Beast’s flight. After a long time, his altitude dropped to just over a hundred meters, and he was about to land, but Dragon City was still far away.

The next moment, he finally flapped his wings, switching from gliding mode to flying mode.

In White Dragon Form, Huang Yi could fly for only a few minutes a day. He needed to fly into Dragon City within these few minutes!

If he couldn’t make it, then he would have to land. But this area was the heart of the skeleton ocean, with level seventy to eighty BOSSes everywhere, any of whom could Instakill him.

A few minutes passed, Dragon City was in sight, but his flying time was also coming to an end. He estimated the distance between himself and Dragon City and realized that with the situation as it was, he couldn’t reach Dragon City!

At this moment, the ground was already scattered with Bosses of level seventy to eighty. Their claws and fangs looked ferocious as they bellowed towards the sky, a terrifying sight to behold. If he fell down, he would likely be torn to shreds in an instant.

Huang Yi flew steadily, calmly arranging his contingency measures in his mind.

Finally, when the time for flying ended, Huang Yi started to glide towards the ground, only a few hundred meters away from Dragon City!

Taking advantage of not being in combat yet, he quickly transformed into Beast King Form before hitting the ground.

Almost instantly, several gruesome Skeleton Bosses attacked him, with Bone Blades, Bone Hammers, and Bone Swords stirring up a ferocious wind as they all enveloped him!

"Pursuit!" Huang Yi surged towards Dragon City five times in quick succession, substantially closing the distance!

However, he was still in the midst of the Skeleton Ocean, surrounded by Bosses launching attack after attack!

These Bosses, at level seventy to eighty, could instakill him with just one hit. At this moment, it seemed as if death was certain!

"Shadow Dance!" Just when an attack was about to land, Huang Yi quickly activated Invisibility and rushed towards Dragon City!

By now, he was only a little over a hundred meters away from the city walls!

His body vanished rapidly, and the overpowering Bosses around him couldn’t see through his invisibility, losing their target all at once.

Shadow Dance lasted ten seconds, and during that time, he was temporarily safe.

The Skeletons here were much taller than those on the periphery. Each stood five or six meters high, and Huang Yi whizzed under them, agile like a monkey!

After ten seconds passed, Huang Yi’s invisibility came to an end, exposing him before a group of formidable Bosses, now only ten meters from the city wall!

The surrounding Bosses immediately spotted Huang Yi, and their assault came with greater ferocity than before!

Huang Yi was once again plunged into a life-or-death crisis!

"Transform into Agile Cat Form!" In the next moment, he used his only chance to transform during combat, turning into the most agile Agile Cat Form!

"Midair Change of Direction!" As the Bosses were about to strike him, Huang Yi forced his body to change direction and continued sprinting towards the city wall ten meters away, narrowly avoiding an attack!

At this moment, Huang Yi, in front of these towering Bosses, was as small as a mouse, making it much easier to dodge their attacks, while the Bosses, with their large stature, found it very difficult to strike him.

Before long, several more potent Bosses seized the opportunity and attacked Huang Yi together!

"Blink Assault!" Huang Yi’s figure disappeared into thin air, just in time to become invisible again.

This time, he blinked onto the city wall, his limbs quickly climbing upwards, dashing into Dragon City like a phantom, and finally breaking through the vast Skeleton Ocean!

Now, Huang Yi finally let out a long breath, having exhausted all means and risking his life, he had finally entered Dragon City!

Had he mishandled any moment, he would have ended up a corpse!

Without wasting time, Huang Yi flipped down the city wall and dashed rapidly towards the inner areas of Dragon City.

After leaving combat, Huang Yi transformed back into the human form of the Beast King, beginning to search around.

At this moment, he saw another player ahead and immediately rushed over, tapping the person’s shoulder and asking, "Excuse me, do you know where Qin Shiyu’s residence is?"

The person was startled, took a glance at Huang Yi, and kindly pointed the way, saying, "Her residence is towards the northwest. Once you’re over there, look for a house with cacti on the roof. That’s Qin Shiyu’s place. But she’s already dead, so finding her won’t be of any use to you."

"Thank you!" Huang Yi hurried towards Qin Shiyu’s residence.

He crossed alleyways, passed through fragrant gardens, occasionally looking up to search carefully.

After traversing much of the city, he finally saw a house with cacti on the roof, standing peacefully under the sunlight.

He rushed straight to the house, where the door had been smashed open by brute force, debris scattered on the ground in disarray. He went inside and searched around.

At last, he saw Qin Shiyu’s body on the balcony.

At this time, Qin Shiyu’s body still retained its appearance from before death, and nobody had even laid a sheet over her remains.

Huang Yi gazed motionlessly at the body, that of Number 9 whom he hadn’t seen in over two years. The sunlight silently shone upon her, her frame so delicate, much like any ordinary girl.
