Heroes' Prison

Chapter 259 - 254 Black Wolf Arrives

However, once someone crossed Huang Yi’s bottom line, the response would be drastically different—he would retaliate with tenfold, even a hundredfold fury. His bottom line was the people he cared about the most, such as Xiao Chunzi, Qin Shiyu, and others. Since arriving in The Second World, only two groups had touched his bottom line, one being Chen Yuxi’s trio, and the other Ghost Axe’s gang, marking the only two incidents where he had killed in this world.

At this moment, Wu Wudi came to his senses, bit his lip, and stared at Huang Yi’s receding figure with a complex expression. Then he immediately turned and ran toward the Guild’s headquarters.

The others quickly realized the gravity of the situation and sped off toward their respective Guilds’ headquarters as well. This was big news, and they had to report it to the Guild’s higher-ups in person.

It wasn’t long before Wu Wudi reached the Guild’s tent headquarters and saw the president of Eternal Road, who was also one of the top ten experts in the China Region—Eternal Road. At that moment, he was in a meeting with a group of high-level Guild members, apparently discussing some important matters.

"Big Brother, Instakill is here!" Wu Wudi’s first words shocked everyone in the tent.

"What happened?" Eternal Road, a man in his thirties and fairly composed, quickly regained his calmness and asked quietly.

Next, Wu Wudi reported everything that had just happened in full detail, his voice tinged with a hint of gratitude toward Huang Yi.

After listening to Wu Wudi, silence fell upon the tent, and the air was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"I didn’t expect that the very thing we were most worried about has still happened," a young man in his twenties murmured with a sigh, massaging his temples.

"This damn Instakill has the worst timing! We’ve been waiting here for almost a month, finally settled on a plan last night, and were ready to enter the city the day after tomorrow. But now, he shows up at this critical moment!" a burly man cursed in anger.

The tent’s high-level members began to discuss fervently among themselves—there were curses, sighs of resignation, and murmurs of doubt, all voices mixing together.

Huang Yi’s arrival had completely overturned all their plans.

"Big Brother, with the situation changing so suddenly, what do we do now?" A valiant female warrior turned to ask Eternal Road.

The rest of the higher-ups also focused their attention on Eternal Road, waiting for his final decision.

Eternal Road surveyed everyone, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Let’s pull out."

The air seemed to freeze, and everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

"Big Brother, are we really going to give up on Dragon City just like that?" the earlier angry man asked unwillingly.

"Once Instakill is here, who can stand against him?" Eternal Road stared at the man as he countered, "Do you think the 400,000 men of our Four Great Guilds can kill him? Have you forgotten how Ghost Axe’s 300,000 men died?"

"But we’re not the same trash as Ghost Axe’s lot! You are also an expert from the China Region, Brother. Moreover, the Undying Guild’s Unbeaten and Nonexistence brothers are experts, especially Unbeaten, who was a finalist for the Best Individual Award at the last annual grand ceremony. And the president of Wind Kingdom, Ice Wind Water Soul, was once a top ten expert. Together, you all could certainly defeat Instakill. He’s just strong in group battles, capable of killing trash, but he’d be on the road to death against you all. After all, he hasn’t grown to the level of Dao Feng or Dragon Spike," the burly man argued back.

"Level?" Eternal Road shook his head, "When Instakill took down Wind Forest Stronghold, he was only over ten levels. Who else in the world could do something like that at his level? For him, level isn’t a very important factor anymore. Even if we do as you say and the other Guild’s experts and I team up, we might be able to kill him, but what about you all? If he comes to kill you, how will you hide? If you’re all dead, what do I need this Guild for? A Dragon City can be built by our own hands if we lose it, but if we provoke a God of Slaughter, we can never shake him off for a lifetime!"

The tent was silent as a grave, and even the burly man lowered his head, no longer speaking.

"What’s more important is that Wu Wudi just made a move against Instakill himself, yet Instakill not only didn’t kill him but also let him go. With such benevolence, how can we be rheumy and unjust?" Eternal Road continued, sweeping his gaze around, "When I hadn’t created a Guild, you had already been following me because of two words—righteousness and benevolence. How have you all forgotten that now?"

Having said that, Eternal Road’s voice became firm as he declared, "We’ll retreat immediately and occupy Sunset Canyon on Golden Road, the location there is excellent. Let them waste their time here, and by the time they come to their senses, we’ll have already secured our foothold on Golden Road."

...

Meanwhile, in the Undying Guild, the strongest among the Four Great Guilds, two men in their twenties stood in the vast desert, backs against each other, gazing into the boundless Skeleton Ocean ahead.

These two men were twin brothers, identical in appearance, but dressed differently for their professions—one was a warrior, the other a mage.

"Bro, now that Instakill is here, should we pull out?" asked the mage.

"I was thinking about the same thing," the warrior said quietly. "We never do anything we’re not confident about. We’re not sure about this, so we should not do it, but Dragon City is too important for us, it’s hard to give up on it!"

"According to the spies we’ve planted, Eternal Myth plans to withdraw, and the remaining two guilds have decided to stop Instakill, especially that Ice Wind Water Soul. He has a way to contact Guifu Heilang (Ghost Axe Black Wolf)—that big BOSS who is Instakill’s archenemy. If he gets involved, Instakill won’t stand a chance."

"It’s hard to say. I can’t see through Instakill. Let’s not provoke him lightly and just watch for a while," the warrior shook his head.

"But just now, both of those guilds sent people over to ask about our stance."

"Our stance is to have no stance."

...

By now, Huang Yi had already charged into the Skeleton Ocean and was advancing towards Dragon City.

The method he used was still the same as the first time he entered Dragon City: he pushed forward in the Skeleton Ocean as hard as he could, then flew the rest of the way when he couldn’t make any more headway. However, it had become much easier this time; the strength of the Skeleton Ocean had decreased significantly, while his own strength had improved a lot since the last entry. The decrease in their strength and the increase in his made it much easier for him to enter Dragon City than last time.

Gradually, Huang Yi, with a storm of Plague and Scorched Earth Magma, delved deeper, getting closer and closer to Dragon City!

After a long while, he reached a point deeper than the last time, where the number of BOSSes had notably increased, rendering his progress extremely difficult.

"Transformation Giant Beast!" Huang Yi finally started his flight plan. Just like last time, he flew as high as he could first, then transformed into the White Dragon and glided forward.

This time, Huang Yi in White Dragon Form only flew halfway before smoothly entering Dragon City, far from the embarrassment of the last time.

At the moment, Dragon City was bustling, with people everywhere, but the vast majority were Half-Beastmen, probably Wind Zhi’s original subordinates. As for the other hundred thousand players, he hardly saw any. They likely had broken away from Wind Zhi’s team to form a hundred-thousand-strong force and made their own breakout. After all, the Skeleton Ocean outside of Dragon City had weakened greatly, so it was possible for them to break out.

Huang Yi did not expose himself but quietly moved in the shadows, circling around in Dragon City to understand the situation.

"Guys, pay attention. The higher-ups just sent down a notice that damn Instakill, raised by a bitch, is planning to come to Dragon City again. He could arrive here in a few hours. This time, we’ll make sure he can’t leave alive, heh heh!"

Just then, Huang Yi overheard some people chatting nearby. He immediately stopped walking and hid in the shadow under the eaves of a building.

"Huh? What do you mean he can’t leave alive? We don’t have an expert like Dao Feng here, and no one can beat Instakill!" A voice of doubt quickly emerged from that group.

"You guys don’t know this, but the President of the Wind Kingdom, Ice Wind Water Soul, is an iron buddy of our boss Wind Zhi. He can contact General Black Wolf. With Black Wolf’s speed, it should only take over ten minutes to catch up with Instakill. Black Wolf is Instakill’s sworn enemy, and although he is seriously injured now, dealing with Instakill would be easy for him!"

"Ah! That’s great! We can finally get our revenge! That beast Instakill has killed me three times. Luckily, at a critical moment, Blackmane Elder exerted his power and deciphered part of the mystery of Soul Prelude, significantly reducing our chances of Reincarnation. Otherwise, I might have reincarnated on another continent by now..."

"Right, now we’re just waiting to hear that Instakill’s been killed. Even if he can infiltrate, it doesn’t matter. Once he plants his War Flag, we’ll instantly destroy it and dissolve his guild... "

Listening to the group’s conversation, Huang Yi quickly gained some very useful information.

Firstly, there was the relationship between Ice Wind Water Soul and Wind Zhi—they indeed were in cahoots. Wind Zhi’s reluctance to break out was most likely to help Ice Wind Water Soul occupy Dragon City.

Secondly, Black Wolf had actually been lured here, which was a bit of a surprise to Huang Yi, as his current strength was no match for Black Wolf. And the fact that the enemy could catch up so quickly, probably meant that Black Wolf had used a life-saving skill after being severely injured by the White Dragon King, but hadn’t managed to flee far before finding a place to recuperate nearby.

Based on this information, Huang Yi speculated that Ice Wind Water Soul was likely to take action tonight and rush to bring in the War Flag swiftly to take over Dragon City, in order to avoid further complications. After all, Huang Yi’s arrival had disrupted everyone’s plans, forcing them to modify their strategies on the fly.

Now, Huang Yi faced many challenges. Without any help, even if he planted the War Flag, he wouldn’t be able to defend it. The War Flag was in its weakest state with no upgrades; the moment it was planted, a few hits would be enough to dismantle it. (To be continued.
