Heroes' Prison

Chapter 326 - 319: Making a Commotion in the Tribe

An hour later, Huang Yi logged on.

He appeared on the top floor of the City Hall, where, at this time of day, Qin Shiyu would usually be handling Guild affairs. But today, the spot was glaringly empty, leaving Huang Yi wondering where she could have gone.

It was then that Huang Yi received a message—it was from Qin Shiyu. He immediately opened it to read—

"Brother Yi, Feng Zhi and his people have captured me as a hostage and taken me back to their tribe, demanding the ’Soul Prelude’ in exchange. Their Chieftain is a Holy Domain Warrior, extremely capable. See if there’s a way to save me. If not, I’ll commit suicide to escape, since the chance of Reincarnation is after all slim."

Upon seeing this message, Huang Yi was slightly startled!

He hadn’t expected such a significant incident to occur while he was offline. As they were plotting against Feng Zhi, it turned out Feng Zhi was also scheming against them, and Feng Zhi’s side had acted first, successfully!

"I’ll come to save you!" Huang Yi sent four words back directly!

He immediately transformed into a Half-Beast form and rushed to the seat where Qin Shiyu used to sit, taking a fierce sniff.

A fragrant scent lingered at the tip of his nose. Huang Yi memorized the smell and left with killing intent.

"Little Riddler, send me the information on Feng Zhi’s tribe. Also, prepare another 500,000 sets of combat supplies; discuss the specifics with Sunset." Huang Yi immediately messaged the logistics department head, Little Riddler.

Little Riddler was a brother who had performed outstandingly in the Rose Prison. Before his incarceration, he had been a member of a special forces unit, and he had been in charge of logistics, which was why Huang Yi entrusted him with the logistics department of the Hero Guild.

"Got it, Brother Yi!" Little Riddler promptly sent over a brief on Feng Zhi’s tribe.

Huang Yi also sent a message to Sunset: "Sunset, quickly assemble the Battlefield Group. I need 500,000 men, ready in the next few days. I’m going to start a war. For combat supplies, ask Little Riddler, he’ll have them prepared."

"Got it! Big Brother! I’m on it!" Sunset immediately replied to the message, excitement evident in his words.

Next, Huang Yi sent a message to Overlord: "Overlord, in a couple of days Sunset’s Battlefield Group will be going to war, and you will join them. Your ’Soul Prelude’ has now uncovered two melodies that can enhance the attributes of the entire army and reduce the chance of Reincarnation for the troops. You alone are worth an entire group."

"No problem!" Overlord replied at once.

Huang Yi issued command after command, and the entire Hero Guild functioned like a well-oiled machine, every department cooperating closely, getting ready for the impending expedition.

Huang Yi’s Incarnation mounted a Velociraptor and, following coordinates from Little Riddler, sped toward Feng Zhi’s tribal location.

A God of Slaughter was rapidly closing in on that group of Half-Beastmen.

...

"Chieftain, Qin Shiyu is now in our hands. Instakill must be aware of this news by now. He can transform into a Half-Beast as well and can track by scent. I suppose he’s bringing the ’Soul Prelude’ and rushing over. Given his speed, he should arrive in the next day or two," Feng Zhi said with a slight Smile, as he and the Half-Beast Chieftain were in a cellar, observing the bound Qin Shiyu.

"Don’t worry, young lady, your beloved will soon come to rescue you. Just wait a bit longer!" The Half-Beast Chieftain looked down at Qin Shiyu, gave a slight Smile, and strode away from the scene.

Feng Zhi glared fiercely at Qin Shiyu’s prominent chest, licking his lips with a look of lust in his eyes. But, in the end, he could only turn and leave, as he couldn’t really Offend Qin Shiyu. If he touched her forcefully, he would gain one point of Sin Value every second, just like when Huang Yi had carried Qin Shiyu’s corpse through Dragon City. As for offenses like undressing or forceful kissing that violate personal bounds, the punishment was even more severe—direct divine punishment by lightning.

Qin Shiyu watched their departing figures, feeling slightly anxious in her heart, unsure how Huang Yi would come to rescue her.

She didn’t have much time. She was in a special situation where if she forcefully logged off, her character would still remain here, uncontrolled. Unless she could commit suicide to escape this kidnapped state, she wouldn’t be able to log off normally. But if she did that, she would face the risk of Reincarnation.

...

Huang Yi’s Velociraptor was swift, and he arrived in a forest by nightfall, much earlier than Feng Zhi had anticipated. Now in Half-Beast form, he used the Racial Skill [Tracking Scent] to follow Qin Shiyu’s scent to this place.

This forest was known as the Bloodthirsty Forest, which served as the headquarters for Feng Zhi’s tribe. There were countless Half-Beast tribes on the continent, and Feng Zhi’s was considered a large one with over 1.8 million inhabitants, including more than 500,000 players. The entire forest was like a kingdom under their reign.

Now, in the dead of night, the forest was pitch-black, owls hooted—the perfect time for arson and murder.

Huang Yi immediately dove into the forest, tracking Qin Shiyu’s scent.

Along the way, Huang Yi saw many man-made traces showing the forest was heavily populated. After a long trek, he finally came upon watchtowers with Half-Beastmen patrolling them.

Huang Yi quietly evaded them and continued forward.

The deeper he went, the more watchtowers surrounded him, until they were densely packed and there was nowhere left to hide.

By now, Qin Shiyu’s scent had disappeared without a trace, probably erased by that Holy Domain Warrior, making it impossible for Huang Yi to track down her exact location.

"Xiao Yu, where are you? Tell me your location." Next, Huang Yi sent a message to Qin Shiyu.

"I don’t know. I was blindfolded when they captured me. All I know is that I’m in a cellar," Qin Shiyu replied immediately.

The situation had become troublesome. Huang Yi didn’t know which corner of the forest Qin Shiyu was hidden in, finding her was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Huang Yi had no choice but to implement his backup plan. He quickly transformed into the most agile form of Little White Cat, bypassing the watchtowers and continuing onward.

Gradually, he started to see some wooden houses with the orange glow of lights shining through the windows. There were faint silhouettes of Half-Beastmen inside, living their peaceful lives.

After advancing for more than an hour, Huang Yi had reached a very central area. There were houses everywhere, densely inhabited by Half-Beastmen, giving off the feeling of a community with thousands of lights.

But soon, this peaceful life would be shattered, and this place would turn into a Purgatory on Earth!

Huang Yi found a relatively secluded spot and quickly summoned the Heroes’ Prison, stepping inside briskly.

A few minutes later, he hurried out and ran frantically toward the distance, racing against time to get away from that place.

Behind him, the entrance to the Heroes’ Prison gradually disappeared, and a giant porcupine suddenly appeared, its huge spikes gleaming coldly under the moonlight—terrifying and majestic!

This was indeed a Criminal Incarnation released by Huang Yi. Being at the core of the tribe, the giant porcupine couldn’t escape; it killed on sight, and by killing anyone, it committed an Offense against the Half-Beast Tribe, which would surely draw the tribe’s experts for an eradication.

The strongest among the tribe was the Chieftain, a little over Level 100 and had just entered the Holy Domain Rank. There were also other high-level experts between levels 80-90. Huang Yi simply couldn’t confront them directly and could only wear down their combat power using this method.

"Boom!" Just then, the giant porcupine moved slightly and immediately demolished a house, causing the rubble to collapse and dust to rise.

"Ah! We’re under attack!" A sharp cry of panic pierced the night, followed by more houses seemingly being crushed by some Giant Beast. Several large trees were also slammed into, amidst the wails of several Half-Beastmen.

In an instant, the Half-Beast Tribe was awakened!

Inside some wooden houses that had their lights extinguished, the lights suddenly came on. Sounds of donning combat gear, the clashing of swords, the sound of footsteps, and trumpets interwove together, shattering the peaceful night.

Countless Half-Beastmen began rushing toward the site of the incident.

However, it wasn’t over yet. Huang Yi continued forward. He was now in the core residential area of the Half-Beast Tribe. Every so often, he would release a Criminal Incarnation. The Criminal Incarnations he released were powerful enough to cause significant casualties, but could still be encircled and killed.

Thus, the entire Half-Beast Tribe was thrown into utter chaos by Huang Yi, with alarm sounds, screams, cries, and the sounds of battle echoing non-stop. Over a million Half-Beastmen were completely engulfed in the commotion, causing a complete disorder.

Just then, a thunderous voice resounded above the whole forest—

"Instakill, I know you have arrived. How dare you wreak havoc on our tribe. However, you won’t be able to find Qin Shiyu. I have hidden her in a secret place. If you want to rescue Qin Shiyu, surrender obediently and hand over the ’Soul Prelude’."

The voice was indeed that of the Half-Beast Chieftain!

Huang Yi was hiding under a large tree at that moment, and upon hearing the voice, he shook his head slightly. He had no plans to surrender. Although the other side had captured Qin Shiyu, they dared not kill her; a living hostage had value. Moreover, the Half-Beast Chieftain must be busy dealing with the Criminal Incarnations along with a group of masters and couldn’t spare the effort to search for him.

Next, Huang Yi continued to roam around the vast forest, searching for Qin Shiyu using his own methods.
